Chapter 1703: Chapter 1703: Settling In
Qi Wen was very curious why Meng Po had such an idea.
"Isn’t the mountain good? There are wild animals. By the way, how do we take revenge?"
"What do you want to do?"
"The two of us will work hard for a year to practice and learn. We’ll aim to become the Civil and Military Scholars."
"Is that necessary?"
"Absolutely necessary. In the future, we will stand proudly in front of the Ye Family."
"Big sister. Are you alright? Even if you become a Champion Scholar, it’s not a higher position than the Ye Family. You still want to stand proudly in front of them?"
"You’re right. What if the two of us become the Emperor?"
"Have you forgotten that my mother warned us not to change history?"
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
"How would I know?"
"You don’t know and still deny my idea?"
"Big sister, you decide, I’ll be with you."
Could this guy still want to become the world’s number one? Does he have that potential?
"No, we must suppress the Ye Family in status, and by then, make them kneel before us."
"Alright, let’s work hard on our studies."
It was almost noon when the two of them arrived at a county town.
It was rather prosperous here.
"What do we need?"
"First, let’s buy some people."
In the current society, it was like that, and there was no law against buying and selling people; having servants was quite convenient.
Qi Wen didn’t want to suffer himself, so of course, he enjoyed whenever he could.
The two weren’t exceptional in other things, but they were good at judging people. They finally chose a family of three, a couple with a little boy.
After buying them, "Can you drive a cart?"
"Master, I can."
"Alright, go buy a carriage."
They didn’t want to be crowded together.
Tang Sheng and his family felt immense gratitude towards their two masters.
Normally, servants could only follow the cart on foot, but unexpectedly, the masters bought them a carriage.
The two didn’t think much of it, but seeing the family’s grateful expressions, they felt quite pleased.
They took Tang Sheng’s family to buy livestock and a cart. To prove himself, Tang Sheng selected the livestock, and it was quite good.
He drove the cart to buy grain.
This was also handed over to Tang Sheng’s family, saving them the trouble, all they had to do was eat.
The two of them weren’t used to preparing these things and really didn’t know what to buy.
"Master, where are we going?"
"No destination, do you know any places with beautiful mountains and rivers? Let’s live in the mountains."
"Master, there’s a Ying Mountain a hundred miles away. They say there’s a Mountain God there, but few people go. It’s steep with many fierce wild animals."
Meng Po nodded, "Alright, we’ll go there."
"Master, perhaps we should stay at the mountain’s foot."
"We’ll see then."
With a goal, they wanted to get a lot more things.
In two days, they could reach there by a cart if they didn’t hurry.
Zhang Sheng’s family led the way. The two of them leisurely followed behind.
"You are daydreaming going there, there’s no house, and if no one is nearby, you can’t even build a house."
Meng Po was feeling a bit uncomfortable being criticized.
"Or should we live in the county town?"
"I think we should live in the county town, it’s convenient for everything. We’re not living in isolation for life, living among people makes more sense."
"Alright, I’ll listen to you."
After entering the county town, they informed Zhang Sheng that they would settle here.
The servants had no objections, they would do as the masters decided.
The price in this small county wasn’t high; they spent thirty taels to buy a not-small courtyard with two sections.
Zhang Sheng was once a steward for a big official, although not the chief steward, he was still a very capable person.
He took care of everything while the two of them went to the clinic.
The doctor examined them again. He just advised them to take care, implying they were already injured and it would affect their lifespan.
Their expectations weren’t high now, as long as there was no suffering, since they originally only had twenty years.
Meng Po was very interested in life in the Mortal World, and Qi Wen could only accompany him to stroll around.
Everything looked good, and he was curious about everything.
He whispered to her all the time, feeling her questions were too naive.
"The two of us will go up the mountain tomorrow, the money we have isn’t much. We still have to live later."
"Sure, let’s see what’s most valuable."
"The most valuable, you don’t have it, and it’s not on the mountain either. Let’s check out the pharmacy; I have the impression that mortals are obsessed with ginseng. Let’s go to the mountain and have a look."
"Is there definitely ginseng on the mountain?"
"Even if not, we can still look for other medicinal materials, and by then we can hunt some wild animals and exchange them for money."
The two of them went back to the clinic again to inquire about the price of ginseng and learned that it could be purchased in large quantities here.
Qi Wen complained. How large can a large quantity be? If it were truly large, they wouldn’t pay that much.
"Doctor. What’s the purchase price of ginseng?"
"That depends on its grade and age."
Saying it was like not saying anything.
When they got back home, it was mostly tidied up. They brought their own bedding, and everything was arranged.
The next day, the two took some dry food and Zhang Sheng’s son, Zhang Dong, drove the cart and left, leaving Zhang Sheng to work at home, and everything that needed repair was fixed.
They didn’t reach the mountain foot until noon. They left the child to watch the cart.
They had big hearts, thinking they could climb the mountain, but once they took action, they realized the path wasn’t easy at all.
But they persisted. "Is there ginseng here?"
"How would I know? My mother once looked for it, and I know what ginseng looks like."
"A rabbit."
Qi Wen helplessly looked at this guy, Meng Po, a rabbit wasn’t dead; with her shout, how could it not run away?
Meng Po sheepishly said, "I forgot."
"Come on, I tell you, I once learned kung fu."
"When?"
Qi Wen started talking about her time returning from the Cultivation World.
They were actually quite lucky and encountered quite a few wild animals.
"Isn’t it because of the myth that no one comes here?"
"It should be; doesn’t that work out for us? Even if we don’t find ginseng, the wild animals can be exchanged for money, though less money."
"Can that child handle it?"
"He’s only a year younger than us. Haven’t experienced less, I feel you’ve lived for nothing these years; you have no life experience."
"My hot temper. How come I don’t have common sense?"
They bickered while moving forward.
By evening, they didn’t go back. They rested on the mountain.
Down below, Zhang Sheng had already come looking. "Dad, the two masters told me to wait here; they may not come down for a few days."
"Alright." He could just spend the night with his son and return tomorrow. He couldn’t leave the house unattended.
Meng Po and the others started a fire and, listening to the animal sounds, it was quite scary.
"Qi Wen, can you handle it?"
"Try it and you’ll know? After all, I’m a Sword Cultivator."
"Your family is all so powerful and formidable." Meng Po truly felt this way; powerful indeed.
