Transmigrated from a post-apocalyptic world to become a village bully and set up a stall in ancient

Chapter 183 Becoming a bodyguard?? Brother, help me pull some strings!

The morning sunlight shone through the open window of Lin Xi onto the floor of the room.

Lying on the bed, Gao Mengli closed her eyes and touched her outer clothes all over.

Just as I was about to put it on after finding it, something suddenly rolled out.

Gao Mengli slowly opened her eyes and sat up. Looking at the brocade box beside the bed, she realized that it was a gift from Madam Dou to her family for the housewarming ceremony yesterday.

Gao Mengli took the brocade box in her hand and slowly opened it.

A ten-tael silver ingot gleamed in the brocade box.

Gao Mengli was stunned for a moment. She thought it was some kind of silver jewelry, but she didn't expect it to be so direct.

A silver ingot as a gift...

Gao Mengli chuckled, looked up at the window and called out, "Xi Xi!"

Hearing the noise, Lin Xi quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks and ran into the house. "What's wrong?"

"Here, this is a gift from Lord Dou's family. Please accept it."

Gao Mengli handed the box to Lin Xi and got dressed and got up on her own.

"Oh!"

Lin Xi took it, opened it, and saw a silver ingot.

He paused for a moment, then his face lit up with joy!

This is great! You can buy whatever you want directly, but you really can't find much in Pingyao.

However, this did not affect Lin Xi's mood. He chuckled and pulled out the drawer under the bed, placing the silver ingot together with the thousand taels.

After Gao Mengli finished washing up, she sat at the table in the courtyard. Lin Xi quickly brought her a bowl of braised pork noodles and placed it in front of her.

The table was a bit low; it was a small tea table in their room.

Gao Mengli watched Ah Li eat with gusto, then glanced at the sun and said, "Ah Li, you just got back? You must be tired!"

After saying that, he picked up the noodles and took a bite.

Lin Xi, standing to the side, was exasperated. "He's been back for a while now, and this is his fourth bowl of food..."

Gao Mengli, holding noodles: ...

Can...can someone eat that much?

Gao Mengli mechanically turned her head and looked at Lin Xi, "Xi Xi, go to the city tomorrow and ask Nan Ping'an to go to other places to buy grain for us."

Lin Xi nodded, "Yes, I'll go tomorrow. The cellar has just been dug, so we can start storing food."

He was afraid that if he didn't save up soon, his family would be completely emptied out.

After finishing their meal, the three of them quickly went to wash and prepare the vegetables.

When Qian Yan'er and the others returned with their tools around 1-3 PM, they were about to set up the feast.

After finishing his meal, Ah Li went to the field with the other people from the old house to cut chives.

His tall, straight figure and handsome face often made the village girls blush.

Du Hao, who was helping his brothers plant rice seedlings in the field, saw that A Li was a stranger and took the initiative to go up and talk to her.

It's not a big deal to talk about it, but what's really bad is that Ah Li's mouth is always full of braised pork flavor.

Smelling the rich aroma of braised pork, Du Hao couldn't help but swallow hard. "Brother, you look unfamiliar! Where do you work?"

Whose braised pork is this? It smells amazing.

Ah Li continued cutting chives without even lifting her eyelids, but she still moved her lips and said, "The Lin family, I'll be their guard."

Upon hearing this, Du Hao's eyes lit up. The Lin family? To be their bodyguards?

The only family that can afford to hire guards is Lin Xi's family!

He was filled with regret. If he had known the Lin family was going to hire guards, he should have volunteered earlier.

This unfamiliar "brother" got a free ride for no reason...

He clearly had the advantage of being in the right place, but someone else snatched the moon away first...

Immediately, he stopped planting rice seedlings and squatted down next to Ah Li, calling him "brother" repeatedly. "Brother, how can one person handle being a guard? Can you put in a good word for me? How about I become a guard too?!"

Annoyed by the noise, A Li raised her eyelids and glanced at Du Hao, who was as thin as a monkey. "Not good at all."

Du Hao felt incredibly frustrated when he heard Ah Li's straightforward rejection, but he still persisted in pestering her relentlessly.

"Brother, please don't be so heartless!"

Look at my skills! I'm no less a renowned martial arts master, Du Hao!

In this village of Pingyao, he is a man who can run and jump and chase away a few stray dogs.

If I go to the Lin family, I'll definitely be a good helper for you. You eat the meat and I'll drink the soup—no, I'll just smell the aroma.

"Just introduce me to someone!"

Du Hao clasped his hands together and pleaded with A Li again and again.

Just then, Lin Xi ran over carrying a basket on her back. "Ali, pack up the chives! Hey, Du Hao, what are you doing here? Do you two know each other?"

Instead of planting rice seedlings, Du Hao is actually "slacking off" here?

Upon hearing the word "familiar," Ah Li's heart skipped a beat.

I think I heard before that there was a group of outlaws in the village helping with the work.

He was mistakenly thought to be one of the outlaws...

Just as Ah Li was anxiously worried that his identity would be exposed, Du Hao interrupted his thoughts with a cheerful voice, "We know each other well! We're good brothers!"

As he spoke, he put his hand on Ah Li's shoulder in a friendly manner.

Ah Li looked at Du Hao, who was grinning like an idiot, and nodded to Lin Xi.

Hurry up and help pack the cut chives into Lin Xi's basket.

Lin Xi glared at Du Hao, who was all smiles, and looked at him with a face full of anger, pouring a bucket of cold water on his head, "Don't think that just because you're familiar with our Ah Li, you can come here and slack off!"

If you don't go to work, I'll have the village withhold your wages!

Du Hao: ...

The smile on his face froze instantly, like an eggplant that had been hit by frost.

Honestly, he couldn't manage a smile... Shouldn't they have said they were acquaintances and that he was invited to the banquet today?!

Miscalculated...

Du Hao looked aggrieved and quickly ran back to the field to continue transplanting rice seedlings.

Ah Li glanced at Du Hao, a slight smile curving her lips.

Du Hao was not discouraged. After seeing Lin Xi return with her basket on her back...

He looked up at Ah Li, "Brother, please put in a good word for me. If I can get a job as a guard in the Lin family, I'll acknowledge you as my boss!!!"

I silently mourned for his alliance leader, but I could only feel sorry for him by ranking second.

Ah Li didn't say anything, but gave Du Hao a half-smile before finishing cutting the chives. He then carried the bundle of chives away without looking back.

Du Hao pursed his lips and slapped his thigh as he planted rice seedlings.

Why didn't he think to ask the Lin family if they needed any guards...?

Meanwhile, Ah Li carried the chives back to the yard and went to help chop the pickled cabbage.

He sheathed his knife and, in a blur, sliced ​​a whole one.

Lin Xi, who was helping out, was so astonished her jaw almost dropped. "Ah Li, which chef did you learn your vegetable-cutting skills from?!"

Ah Li chuckled inwardly.

The more people you kill, the faster it goes.

Speed, ruthlessness, and accuracy are their basic qualities.

However, he couldn't say it out loud, and continued chopping the sauerkraut on his own.

Lin Xi didn't expect A Li to answer him, after all, A Li was "cold" and usually didn't talk much.

"Is this my elder brother and sister-in-law's house?"

A familiar voice sounded at the door, and Lin Xi quickly ran out.

Sure enough, Zhuangzhuang pushed a slaughtered pig over and stood at the door, looking somewhat uncertainly into the yard and asking.
