    After the first ray of purple energy between heaven and earth was swallowed into Chen Jiu's belly, Chen Jiu's eyes slowly opened, and a purple brilliance circulated in them and slowly disappeared.

    Looking at the sleeping fat man and Uncle Zhong, Chen Jiu stood up gently, but an unpleasant smell on his body was quickly caught by Chen Jiu.

    Looking at the layer of greasiness on his body, Chen Jiu smiled softly and walked towards the river. Although the greasiness was disgusting, it was not annoying because it represented the beginning of cleansing the marrow and removing the hair.

    The river water in the early morning is still a bit cold, no, it should be said to be biting cold, but you can't go to see people with this layer of stench.

    "Plop!" Chen Jiu jumped into the river without hesitation. He remembered that a certain great man in his previous life liked winter swimming. Chen Jiu was about to embark on the path of spiritual practice. Although he was thin, he was not as good as that great man.

    I washed, washed, washed, and rubbed over and over again before I walked ashore and changed my clothes.

    During this period, two unlucky fish disturbed Chen Jiu's bathing. Chen Jiu threw them to the shore without hesitation and became breakfast.

    When Chen Jiu came back, the fat man was still sleeping, and Uncle Zhong had already woken up. Chen Jiu nodded, then lifted the fish in his hand and suddenly said: "Why did a thief come last night and the treasure was lost?"

    As soon as he finished speaking, the fat man suddenly jumped up like a carp: "What, the treasure is lost."

    The fat man looked around, and then breathed a sigh of relief after looking at the intact package. However, when he saw the playful looks between Chen Zhong and Chen Jiu, he smiled sheepishly and sat down sheepishly.

    Then the remaining charcoal fire from last night was quickly raised. The two fish were just for everyone to appetize. But now few people have no intention of staying here longer, and they wish they could grow more legs and leave this sinful place.

    The three people walked eastward, passing through countless villages, and finally arrived at a very remote village with about three hundred households.

    It was a dusty journey, and the clothes of several people were covered in dust. When they saw this village in the mountains, they walked quickly.

    The sound of dogs barking woke up everyone in the village. Chen Jiu's thin body came to a wooden door and knocked "bang", "bang" and "bang" several times.

    ¡°Who is it?¡± An elderly woman¡¯s voice came from inside.

    "Grandma, we are passers-by passing through your village. This journey has been very dusty. Would you like to stay overnight and have a change?" Chen Jiu was running at 15 or 16 speeds at this time. Because he was thin and stunted, his voice sounded like a  A child, but Chen Jiu seems to be a child.

    The wooden door opened with a "squeak" sound, revealing a weather-beaten face.

    The old lady glanced at the three of them, then nodded: "Come in."

    This wooden house is very simple, with only simple pots and pans, and several separate rooms.

    "I will make the guests laugh when the time comes. The old woman's home is simple, so I hope you don't mind."

    Chen Jiu shook his head: "Grandma, we are lost merchants. We were attacked by bandits on the way. The journey has been dusty, so we need to change."

    Talking about taking out a piece of silver and handing it to the old lady. The family didn't look wealthy. Several people were all big belly men. I am afraid that the food in this house was bottomed out.

    Seeing the old lady's hesitation, Chen Jiuyi smiled and said, "Grandma, this is our intention. If you don't accept it, we can't bother you here."

    After hearing this, the old lady put away the money and smiled.

    Chen Jiu glanced at the fat man and said, "Go and boil some water. Everyone needs to clean up now."

    After chatting with the old lady for a while, Chen Chen found out that her son and daughter had all gone to work in Chengcheng and would not be back for half a month.

    Soon the water was boiled. Chen Jiu was the youngest, so he took a bath first.

    After washing it, I feel really different, my whole body feels comfortable and translucent.

    Chen Jiu looked at Chen Zhong and Fatty and put his hands behind his back: "I think the small mountain village is good, why don't we settle here."

    Uncle Zhong has no objection. The little fat man has the least human rights among the three and has no right to speak.

    After dinner, Chen Jiu looked at the old woman and said, "Grandma, is it still peaceful around this mountain village? Are there any thieves?"

    A thief is a robber.

    The old woman smiled and said, "The security here is pretty good. The army from the state capital is stationed everywhere. How can any thieves dare to take root here?"

    Chen Jiu nodded: "That's good. A few of us have made a lot of money over the years. It's so chaotic outside, and we might lose our lives at some point. I think the mountain village is nice, and I want to settle down."

      The old woman glanced at the three of them: "It's easy to settle down. There are nearly a thousand people in this mountain village, and you three are not far behind."

    Chen Jiu smiled when he heard this: "Grandma, what do you think of my two friends?".

    Grandma looked at the fat man with a cunning face and Chen Zhong with a loyal face through the light, and smiled: "One is cheating and the other is blowing up, how come these two best people get together?"

    Chen Jiu "¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤".

    Chen Zhong "¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤"

    ??Little fat man "¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤".

    Chen Jiu calmed down and smiled: "Grandma, these two relatives of mine have suffered a lot with me over the years, and the family business has not been successful. The younger generation is worried here, so I am thinking of finding a good match for them."  .

    Speaking of which, Chen Jiu patted the package and said, "As for the betrothal gift, the matchmaker's money is indispensable."

    Chen Zhong and the little fat man on one side were stunned for a moment. No one expected that this guy would start looking for a wife for them before they settled down.

    The old woman smiled and said: "This matter is easy to handle, just leave it to me. There are still a few young girls in this village who are worried about getting married."

    Having said this, he glanced at Chen Zhong and the little fat man who were blushing.

    ¡°Obviously the old woman mistook their uneasiness as shyness.

    After a few people rested for a day, the old woman invited a man in his forties. Looking at Chen Jiu and the others, the man smiled and said, "Are you three the ones who want to settle in our village?"

    Chen Jiu stood up and looked at the old woman. He obviously knew the identity of the person in front of him: "I have met Muramasa."

    Muramasa took out a book and then found a writing brush: "The state government has regulations that new households must create a register if they want to settle down. However, this kind of thing is strict at the top and loose at the bottom, so there is no problem."

    After Chen Jiu winked at the little fat man, the little fat man took out a silver coin from his arms and said, "Please Mr. Muramasa, please help me sort it out."

    Muramasa did not refuse. After collecting the money, he glanced at the three of them and said, "Just find a place in this village to start building a house. If you are afraid of trouble and someone in the village happens to want to move out, you can put the house together with the mountain."  Bought it.¡±

    Chen Jiu once again signaled the little fat man to take out a piece of silver: "Please sir, please do it for us."

    Muramasa glanced at Chen Jiu, this guy is on the right track.

    "I'll go back and tell them right now that you can move there the day after tomorrow. As for today, you can stay at the old lady's house." After saying that, Nakamuramasa hurried away.

    It was obvious that after receiving the benefits from Chen Jiu and others, he went to work for a few people.

    Chen Jiu looked at Muramasa who was walking away, and then looked at the old lady: "Thank you, grandma, for taking care of me."

    The lady shook her head: "It's nothing. As for the marriage, we'll wait until you decide."

    When it comes to marriage, Chen Zhong and the little fat man have nothing against each other. They are both very old. It is definitely a happy event to marry a woman from a good family. As for the young lady from an official family, that is all.  Don't think about it, people will take notice of you, a country rat like you.

    Chen Jiu looked at the two of them and took a bite of a tortilla: "After settling down, all the things that happened in the village are in the past. Don't get involved in illegal and taboo things, otherwise the hard-earned peace will be ruined again."  Destroyed¡±.

    Both the little fat man and Chen Zhong nodded.

    But the little fat man's next words almost choked Chen Jiu to death: "Xiaojiu, you have hired a wife for us, what will you do? We don't trust you to be single."

    Chen Jiu rolled his eyes at him angrily: "Just live your life well."

    The fat man swallowed the tortillas in a sullen voice, took a sip of water, and ate hard.

    ¡°Alas, Chen Jiu let out a long sigh. He had to change the habits he had lived with for eight years. He looked around at a loss as to where he should go in the future.
