Chapter 489 I'll grant your wish (15)
Xu Da was bought back partly because of his pitiful background and partly because the price he was asked for was low.
It is said that all they want is a simple coffin for his father, and they dare not ask for anything else.
Xiong Bufan looked at Xu Da in front of him. He had heard that he had bought him for two taels of silver less than the market price, but he didn't think it was expensive.
However, a pair of eyes kept scanning Xu Da, making him feel uneasy.
Aunt Tian was also uneasy, afraid that Xiong Bufan would be dissatisfied. "Sect Leader, what do you think of this person?"
"Stay here. You'll eat three meals a day on time, and your monthly salary will be half a tael of silver."
Xu Da nodded and said respectfully, "Thank you, Sect Leader."
He cursed Xiong Bufan in his heart for being stingy; if he stayed any longer, he would be tortured to death by them sooner or later.
Even the waiters doing odd jobs down the mountain earn one or two taels of silver a month, so Xu Da's wages are really quite low.
But since he was a slave who had been bought, it was already a great act of mercy from Xiong Bufan to pay him wages.
Xiong Bufan: "Step down, I need to rest."
Aunt Tian: "Let's go, I'll arrange some work for you."
"Yes."
Xiong Bufan felt that she had done everything she could for Uncle Fu, if one ignored the fact that she was the one who threw Uncle Fu out.
When Xu Da saw Uncle Fu on the hospital bed, a flash of disdain crossed his eyes. He had never taken care of his father at home.
"Your task is to take good care of Uncle Fu. If you do, you can go watch them practice martial arts."
Aunt Tian felt sorry for this filial but ill-fated man, so she gave him a few more words of advice.
Xu Da bowed and said, "Thank you, Aunt Tian."
"Yes, take good care of her."
"It's time to make dinner," Aunt Tian said, and then ran off to cook.
Xiong Bufan sat on the roof, lifted a tile, and looked at the scene below. She always felt that there was something fishy about Xu Da.
The sound of this person walking is like that of someone who practices martial arts.
There's going to be some excitement at Moshan Gate again, and Xiong Bufan loves watching a good show.
Mo Feng and Mo Qiong had always hoped that Xiong Bufan could continue to teach them martial arts.
Unfortunately, Xiong Bufan spent his days in the courtyard with a broadsword, training in the martial arts field, without ever mentioning teaching them martial arts.
It seems that Mo Chou, who diligently urged them to practice martial arts, has disappeared.
Xiong Bufan frowned as he looked at the mess in the training ground. It was really too flimsy. "You guys hurry up and clean this up."
Mo Feng and Mo Qiong stood there without daring to complain, and began to tidy up the targets that Xiong Bufan had slashed down. "Yes, Master."
Many of the practice stakes were chopped up, so we had to buy new ones.
Xiong Bufan began to consider using a wooden knife, which would save him the money he would have spent on materials.
With a bunch of good-for-nothings living on the mountain, Xiong Bufan has started to be thrifty and manage the household well.
After feeding Uncle Fu, Xu Da came to the training ground and secretly watched Xiong Bufan practice martial arts.
The martial arts moves were all classic moves of the Mo Family Saber, but the saber in his hand was a fine piece of equipment, crafted by some famous weapon master.
The treasures of Moshanmen are more numerous than they imagined.
After Xiong Bufan left the training ground, Xu Da emerged from the shadows and, together with Mo Feng and Mo Qiong, tidied up the training ground.
Xu Da: "The sect leader's martial arts are truly superb."
Mo Qiong looked at the slaves and said proudly, "That's right, the Mo family's swordsmanship was passed down from our ancestors."
Xu Da pressed on, "Does the sect leader have any other secret techniques? I also want to learn martial arts; I want to avenge my father."
Mo Qiong wasn't stupid; she knew this person might be after a non-existent secret manual, so she cautiously said, "The Mo family's swords are enough." After saying that, she went to find the broken target that the cart had been using.
Xu Da wanted to ask Mo Feng, but the man ran away very quickly.
These two lads are too cautious. Xu Da knows he can't gain their trust anytime soon, so he has to take things slowly.
Nothing brings people closer than sharing hardships.
If secret manuals were easy to obtain, they would be commonplace by now.
Xu Da not only wiped Uncle Fu's body, but also cooked for Aunt Tian, cleaned up the mess that Xiong Bufan had made for Mo Feng and Mo Qiong, and wrote letters to report on the situation at night. He couldn't rest all day long.
In less than half a month, she became so thin that she looked unrecognizable.
After finishing his work once again, Xu Da took a pot of tea and poured it into his mouth.
Mo Feng's voice rang out again, "Brother Xu, come and help me out."
Xu Da put down the kettle and hurriedly ran over, shouting, "Coming, coming!" The sound of water gurgling in his stomach could be heard as he ran.
……
However, doing all this was not entirely fruitless; at least he gained Aunt Tian's favor and the trust of Mo Feng and Mo Qiong.
Xiong Bufan wished everyone could be as capable as Xu Da, so that she could handle the most work with the least amount of money.
If there are enough people, they can be sent down the mountain to work and earn money to support her.
The secret passage was empty, and Xu Da clearly had something in mind, but encountering someone like Xiong Bufan was simply his bad luck.
Xiong Bufan was living a comfortable life and recently she was planning to send Mo Feng and Mo Qiong down the mountain to work so that she could break out of the predicament of only spending money and not earning it.
Mo Feng and Mo Qiong: Can you at least act like a human being?
Xiong Bufan is not human, so naturally he doesn't need to act like one.
They hadn't even had a month of peace before they started causing trouble again.
Xiong Bufan's dislike for Wang Hui was not without reason; this person was like a cockroach, impossible to kill, and always coming out to disgust people.
Li Han, along with Wang Hui and the people from Wolong Manor, arrived at Moshan Gate in a grand procession.
Uncle Fu is now able to walk around with his cane, and he usually does things like opening doors.
Li Han looked at Uncle Fu with a hint of disdain in his eyes. The sect actually kept such a useless person.
But remembering the purpose of his visit, Li Han still bowed and said, "Junior Li Han requests an audience with Sect Leader Mo Chou."
The betrothal between Li Han and the original owner of the body was arranged by their parents, and Uncle Fu, as an elder of the sect, naturally had heard about it.
Uncle Fu bowed and said, "Young Master Li, please."
"Thank you."
Wang Hui mingled in the crowd, dressed as a servant, and followed them into the Moshan Gate.
When Aunt Tian came to report, Xiong Bufan was practicing martial arts in the training ground with a wooden sword.
Mo Qiong and Mo Feng waited on the side, while Xu Da cleaned up the training ground, but his eyes never left Xiong Bufan's moves.
Xiong Bufan looked at Aunt Tian and suspected that she was a pimp. Xiong Bufan was a bear, how could she possibly have a human fiancé?
No, she couldn't possibly have a fiancé!
Seeing the murderous glint in Xiong Bufan's eyes, Kongkong knew she had forgotten about the original owner of the body, so she quickly reminded her, "Bufan is the original owner's fiancé."
He also had an ambiguous relationship with Wang Hui, without considering the original owner's feelings for her.
Xiong Bufan: "Okay, I got it."
Mo Qiong handed Xiong Bufan a cotton cloth to wipe his sweat, saying, "Master, here you go."
Xiong Bufan wiped his face haphazardly and said to Aunt Tian, "Let's go, I'm going to meet my fiancé."
Aunt Tian sensed a chill from Xiong Bufan's words; it seemed Xiong Bufan wasn't going to see her fiancé, but to kill someone.
