Liu Ma took Liu Heng into the city.
Wealth should not be revealed, both of them are young, let alone let people know that they have obtained a lot of gold and silver.
The two rented a small house near the city gate to live, neither of them dared to buy a house.
The small house was in a remote location and very dilapidated, with few people passing by. It was a good temporary residence for the two brothers.
Liu Heng was very considerate. Not only did he put gold in the box, he also put some broken silver for the two of them to use now, so that they would not arouse the covetousness of others.
Liu Ma took Liu Heng to the street and ate two bowls of wontons, feeling satisfied.
They couldn't eat these wontons more than a year ago, but now they can have a bowl of wontons, which makes them very satisfied.
The two of them each ate another sesame seed cake, making their bellies bulge.
They finally experienced the feeling of having a full meal again.
Back home, Liu Ma dug out the wooden box hidden under the bed and took out four books.
The covers of the booklet read "Beiming Magic", "Lingbo Weibo", "Tianshan Plum-Breaking Hand" and "Dugu Nine Swords" respectively.
Don’t ask why the Dugu Nine Swords were mixed into Xiaoyao Sect’s martial arts, Liu Heng didn’t know either.
He rummaged through his space and found a lot of martial arts secret books, not only the Dugu Nine Swords, but also the Sunflower Book in the space, but Liu Heng did not dare to take them out.
He doesn’t want his brother to become his sister.
Liu Ai looked through the "Beiming Magic" happily and said to Liu Heng: "Ah Heng, we are so lucky to be able to practice martial arts. When we master martial arts, we can also avenge our parents. .”
Liu Heng nodded obediently.
Liu Ma's literary level is very good. Before the disaster of the Liu family, he went to school to study.
Although he usually skips school, Liu Ma's grades are still very good.
If it hadn’t been for the changes that happened to the Liu family, Liu Ma would have taken the county examination last year and gained merit.
Therefore, Liu Ma can read and understand martial arts secrets.
Coupled with Liu Hao's secret guidance, Liu Ma quickly mastered the internal skills.
Three years have passed.
Liu Ma, who had some success in martial arts, led Liu Heng into the stronghold where the bandits who killed the Liu family lived, and wiped out all the bandits in the stronghold.
However, no one knew that it was the two brothers who did it.
After a long time, passing businessmen found that the robbers who used to go down the mountain to rob were no longer there, so they reported to the government.
The government sent people up the mountain to investigate and found the burned ruins, but none of the robbers were missing.
The two brothers had hidden their merits and fame. They returned to their hometown and their original Liu Mansion.
Today's Liu Mansion is an abandoned "haunted house". The two brothers spent a lot of money to hire people to clean up Liu Mansion.
Now that they have martial arts skills, they are not afraid of anyone coveting their money. They can use the gold.
The surrounding neighbors still remembered the two children of the Liu family and expressed joy and welcome to their return.
After the two settled down, Liu Ma took the scientific examination and passed the examination as a scholar.
He did not continue to take the exam. He had a reputation to protect him and did not have to pay taxes.
Liu Ma's mind is now entirely focused on practicing martial arts, and he has not studied the Four Books and Five Classics any more.
In order to make a living, Liu Mao renovated Liu Mansion, built a two-story building in the front yard, and opened an inn.
Liu Ma has hired three workers to look after the store, two of whom are women.
These two women were sold by their families and were originally intended to be sold into a brothel. Liu Ma happened to be passing by and somehow felt pity for the two women, so she bought them and let them work in the inn. One person is responsible for settling accounts, and another person is responsible for kitchen affairs.
As the small owner of the inn, Liu Hiiragi naturally has to put some effort into his own inn.
He took out some modern recipes and taught them to Yueniang, who was in charge of the kitchen.
Yue Niang was born in a farm family and was used to farm work. She was stronger than the average woman, but she was also clever and good at being a cook.
Professor Liu Heng gave Yueniang the recipe, and she studied it carefully, and the taste of the dishes she made was no worse than those made by modern five-star chefs.
The woman in charge of accounting is called Su Qiu. She is literate and is a girl from a scholar's family.
It’s just that her scholar father has passed away.
Her family's financial situation also deteriorated. In order to find a wife for her brother, her mother wanted to marry Su Qiu to a widower who was old enough to be Su Qiu's father in exchange for a generous betrothal gift.
Su Qiu was unwilling and escaped.
She was unlucky and was caught by traffickers on the road.
The trafficker didn't know that Su Qiu could read, otherwise he wouldn't have let Liu Ma buy the person back at a relatively low price.
The only male waiter is called Li Er, who lives nearby. There are many brothers in the family, and his parents cannot afford to support them.
Li came out to work when he was 22 or 3 years old. Liu Ma saw that he was honest, hard-working and very strong, so he found someone to be his assistant.
He provided Li Er with a place to stay and let Li Er live in an inn, which not only solved Li Er's accommodation problem, but also had someone to look after the store, killing two birds with one stone.
Three more years passed like this, and Liu Ma reached the age of crown.
His martial arts skills have been greatly improved.
Liu Ma is not a lively person. She often runs out and likes to play around.
He is not a wanderer, he just likes to travel around.
As long as no one messes with Liu Ma, he is a rich young man with a soft and gentle appearance.
But if some blind robbers grab Liu Ma's head, then these people will be on the road to hell.
Due to his experiences in his youth, Liu Ma hated bandits very much.
If they find Liu Ma, Liu Ma will never show mercy. Not only will he kill all the bandits who robbed him, but he will also find those people's lair and annihilate all the bandits in the lair. .
Because he left no one alive, neither the government nor the people in the world knew who killed the bandits, and Liu Ma did not leave a name in the world.
And he himself has no interest in the so-called reputation in the world.
Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, Liu Ma hired a carriage to drive back. He had promised his younger brother that he would go home and spend the festival with him.
The speed of the carriage slowed down, and the coachman said from outside: "Sir, there is someone blocking the road ahead."
Liu Ai opened the curtain and saw a man on horseback blocking the road in front of him.
The man seemed to be a knight-errant. He was dressed in white and had a long sword on his waist. He had a handsome face and was about five or six years older than Liu Ma.
Seeing Liu Ma open the car curtain, the man's eyes flashed and he said to Liu Ma: "I don't mean to block the road, I'm just a little lost. Which direction should I go to Luocheng?"
Liu Ma pointed in a direction: "Over there."
The man held his hands and said: "Thank you."
But the man did not move, but said: "Young Master also wants to go." Luocheng looks like, why don't you and I go together?"
Liu Zhi: "I don't know the hero."
The man: "I am Han Lang." (End of this chapter)
