C24 024 Eye Red

When Xia Yi arrived at Lingshan Town, other than buying a bed, she also asked Old Zhang, who sold vegetables, for some information.

Other than the Zhongling Village, there were also officers and soldiers who had been to the few villages near the Spirit Mountain.

No one knew what or who the soldiers were looking for.

What was even more surprising was that all of them had been withdrawn overnight.

"Aren't you surprised? Such a grand search of the mountain, and before the morning even arrived, the flag had already ceased. Do you think that I've encountered something on the spirit mountain? Everyone knows that Spirit Mountain is a ghost mountain, and the ghosts caused by it are especially serious. " Old Zhang secretly said to Xia Yi.

Xia Yi's eyes flashed, and laughed: How can a normal commoner like me know about this?

On the other hand, Old Zhang was extremely curious about all sorts of gossip, "I will find someone to ask about it later. Is this Spirit Mountain really so strange? "I heard that there were hundreds of soldiers who went up the mountain yesterday."

"Yeah, there are quite a few people going up the mountain. I saw them." Xia Yi asked, "Uncle Zhang, do you even know soldiers?"

Old Zhang puffed out his chest, and said with a hint of interest: "Officers and soldiers need to eat. Besides, our Lingshan Town is so close to the capital, so we have many family members."

"No wonder everyone says that Uncle Zhang knows everything." Xia Yi said.

If Uncle Zhang could find out anything, it would be for the best.

Uncle Zhang smiled as he waved his hand. "No need for that, I know quite a few people."

Xia Yi exchanged a few more words with Uncle Zhang, and also bought a few dishes. Then, she left Old Zhang's stall and went to buy Xiao Linmu a bed.

He originally thought that with the price of West Liang, buying a bed would only require a few hundred coins at most.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yi spent a total of two taels of silver. Other than the money Xiao Linmu gave her to buy the bed, he had also given her the salary she previously, which was barely enough to buy a bed.

"Miss, don't think that it's too expensive. Our bed is made from the best red rosewood. Look at the color and the carvings …"

The shopkeeper kept on bragging to Xia Yi about how good her bed was.

Xia Yi felt her head aching. She had originally planned to save up some money to repair the house, but everything was fine now.

She rubbed her forehead and said, "Help me send him home."

Carrying such a bed back would surely cause quite a stir.

Just as the bed was about to be made, before it could be made perfect, the news of Xia Yi buying the bed had already reached Mao Cuilan's ears.

"Have you heard? Xia Yi bought a bed from town. " Lady Wu specially ran over to Mao Cuilan's house to tell her about this after seeing him on the way.

If not for Xia Wen Rong admitting that he stole her money and went to the gambling den, she would have thought that Xia Yi stole the money she bought for her bed.

Mao Cuilan asked in disbelief, "Xia Yi? Buying a bed? Are you lying to me? Who doesn't know how expensive a bed is? In our village, only a few rich families have a bed, so how could she, Xia Yi, afford it? "

"Why would I lie to you? "If you don't believe me, you can go to her house and see if you've bought a new bed." Madame Wu continued, "Xia Yi has so much money, yet you, as an aunt, don't even know about it? Two years ago, the three of them had to rely on your family's support to survive. Now, it's quite impressive. You've already bought a bed, but as an aunt, you're not even touched by the slightest bit of meat … "

Without waiting for Lady Wu to finish speaking, Mao Cuilan stood up abruptly and walked out.

Ever since she and Xia Yi had broken off their relationship due to their marriage, the three Xia Yi siblings never took the initiative to go to her house again.

She had originally thought that since the three of them would not be able to continue living, she would naturally look for Xia Yi.

Mao Cuilan never thought that not only were the brother and sister not hungry, their lives would get better.

The last time the three siblings had money to buy vegetables and cook, she did not think much of it.

She wasn't in a hurry. There would be a day when the money ran out and the three of them would come looking for her.

Only then did she feel that something was amiss, even if Xia Yi were to secretly save more money, it was impossible for him to save up enough money for a bed in two years.

Mao Cuilan walked very quickly, so Lady Wu could only follow him from afar.

The door to Xia Yi's courtyard was still tightly closed. Mao Cuilan couldn't help but crease her eyebrows and mutter under her breath, "Why is this damned girl locking the door in broad daylight again? It can't be that the source of the money is not clean, right? "

After saying that, she started to knock on the door with all her strength, "Damn girl, open the door!"

Just as Xia Yi took out the blanket, she heard Mao Cuilan knocking on the door.

She threw the blanket on the bed, and then said to Xiao Linmu who was sitting by the table and drinking tea: "My wife is here, if you don't want to be discovered, then avoid it."

Xiao Linmu placed the cup down and glanced at Xia Yi.

Xia Yi was a little apprehensive, but still went to open the door.

Mao Cuilan's voice was loud, if she continued shouting like this, it might attract a few more people, and then it would be troublesome.

Xia Yi walked quickly to the door and opened it, only to see Mao Cuilan standing at the door, as well as Lady Wu who was walking quickly towards this direction.

"Aunt, what is it …"

Before Xia Yi could finish her question, Mao Cuilan ran into the courtyard and headed straight for Xia Yi's room.

Xia Yi's heart tensed up, seeing Mao Cuilan's reaction, could it be that she knew something?

She closed the door and separated Lady Wu, who was on the verge of reaching the door from him, before chasing after him with quick steps.

"What is Aunt doing?"

Mao Cuilan walked extremely fast, and by the time Xia Yi had caught up, she was already in her room, standing at the door in a daze.

Xia Yi thought that things were not good. From the time she opened the door for Mao Cuilan to Mao Cuilan rushing into the room, was a short period of time. It was very likely that Xiao Linmu had not hidden away in time.

If Mao Cuilan bumped into Xiao Linmu, then things would not be good.

Xia Yi stepped across the doorstep and quickly scanned the entire room.

As she did not discover Xiao Linmu's figure, Xia Yi heaved a sigh of relief and blocked her in front of Mao Cuilan: "Aunt, you broke into my room for no reason, no?"

Mao Cuilan rolled her eyes at Xia Yi, "I'm your wife."

After saying that, Mao Cuilan went around Xia Yi's house and sat down.
