Volume 1 Chapter 515: Resettlement
Chapter 515: Resettlement
There were more than 60 carts parked in a patchwork on a grassy field, with more than 40 gang members sitting on the side. One of them had a black face and was filled with hatred: "Damn it, let me catch them and kill them." That man was Hammer, who was beaten black and blue, and there were more than ten people around him who echoed him.
Zhang Pa walked over and asked: "What's wrong?"
Hammer saw Zhang Pa and hurriedly saluted: "Boss, this is what happened. Those bastards robbed the silver and ran away." This guy changed his name for Zhang Pa casually.
Zhang Pa asked a little, and the matter was very simple. There were several people in the Red Gang who were brutal and brave. After leaving the fishing village, they robbed the injured and disabled of silver. Hammer was angry and fought with them and was beaten up.
There were more than 30 such people. They robbed the injured and fled together. They did not kill anyone, and in order to save trouble, they did not intend to attack Hammer and others. But Hammer couldn't stand it. These bastards even robbed their own people, and they were injured. So he acted impulsively and justly, but others were unjust, so he was beaten.
After more than 30 people robbed the injured patients, more than 30 people felt that following Hammer and others would only make them more unlucky, especially since there were more than 100 sick people in the team. They didn't want to get involved, so they selfishly went south and left, leaving more than 40 stupid men to complain about the more than 100 injured people.
Zhang Pa shook his head, why did things always go against his wishes? He told Hammer: "Wait." He chased north in a flash.
Those unlucky guys were shuttling through the forest, and Zhang Pa suddenly appeared in front of them. They felt uneasy, but they didn't feel anything after that, because Zhang Pa killed them very quickly, and the money these people worked hard for instantly became someone else's property.
After killing people, he returned to Hammer and others, redistributed the silver, and told everyone to leave quickly. As for the 30 or so people who went south, although they didn't go with everyone, they didn't rob the injured people, so they let them go.
Hammer didn't know that Zhang Pa had already started, and he was still indignant: "Boss, you must kill them."
Zhang Pa asked him: "When did I become your boss?" Hammer said seriously: "You have always been my boss."
Zhang Pa really wanted to kick him. It was rare to see someone patting a horse so unprofessionally. He said: "Get out of here." After thinking for a while, he took out a few hundred taels of silver: "Take care of the patients and tell them that if they continue to do evil after their injuries are healed, I will kill them." Hammer nodded and agreed hurriedly. He then returned to the three women and four boys.
The three women were the wife and two concubines of the leader of the Youth Association. They had conflicts in the past. At this time, they finally united and discussed whether they should secretly escape. When Zhang Pa came back, the three were still discussing, and they had to knock on the door: "It's time to go." The three women hurriedly shut up.
The carriage was not moving fast, and it entered Yong'an County in the evening. There was Zhang Pa's home in the city. He wanted to take people home to live, but he didn't expect to find someone living near the door. The good home was occupied by someone else, which really made him depressed. Because women and children were all there, he didn't want to have another dispute, so he found an inn to stay.
The next day, when it was bright, he talked to the three women: "I'm going out to do something. Here are seven talismans. Keep them. If you have any problems, tear them up and I'll be back." The three women put them away doubtfully, but Zhang Pa was still worried. He took out four pendants, attached talismans to them and hung them around the necks of the four children, saying in a gentle voice: "Don't run around. Uncle will buy you candy."
The oldest of the four children was a seven-year-old boy who already knew some things. He looked at Zhang Pa coldly, but Zhang Pa didn't care. He patted him on the shoulder and left.
Yong'an County had no war for many years, and the population was increasing. A new area of houses was built in the east of the county, connected to the old city to form an outer city. Zhang Pa went around and felt a little confused, so he returned to the city and chose a small house to buy at a high price. Then he went to the silk shop, carpenter shop, and grocery store to buy all kinds of household items.
While they were busy, a trace of spiritual power fluctuation came from the direction of the inn. Someone tore off the communication talisman. Zhang Pa and the others flashed back to the inn. Seeing the three women staring at the door, he asked, "What's wrong?" His spiritual sense swept over and found nothing wrong.
The three did not expect Zhang Pa to come back so soon. The older man stammered, "We want to try this thing to see if it works."
Zhang Pa was depressed and scolded, "Nonsense."
The spiritual talisman was torn off, and the spiritual breath was transmitted, alarming the monks of Longhu Mountain in the city. There was a fluctuation of spiritual energy, and three Taoists in green appeared at the door of the inn, waiting. The waiter greeted them warmly: "Master Taoist, please come in."
The three Taoists ignored him and looked around in doubt. One of them said: "It should be here." Another person said: "The aura disappeared, maybe it was just passing by."
The third person said dissatisfiedly: "We are unlucky. We have to check every little thing. The world is so big, and there are so many cultivators. How can we check it all? Go back." The other two scanned with their spiritual sense and found nothing, so they agreed: "Go back."
After the three Taoists left, Zhang Pa took the three girls and four children out of the inn and asked the waiter to harness the carriage. He just bought a house and took them back by the way.
The three girls were uneasy, not knowing how Zhang Pa would treat them. They were panic and careful, for fear of angering him.
After a while, the carriage was harnessed, Zhang Pa settled the bill, asked the seven women and children to get on the carriage, and took them home.
It was a very small yard, with two large rooms on the left and right, and several side rooms. The carriage stopped in the yard, and the three women got off and asked, "What is this?" Zhang Pa handed over a small cloth bag and said, "The title deed, keep it. This is your new home."
The woman opened her bundle, and besides the title deed, there was also a stack of silver bills. Zhang Pa pushed open the door of the big house: "So someone lives here. I bought new bedding, and we can move in after we clean up." He also put down a large bag of silver and said: "There are markets on both sides, which is quite convenient. You can buy whatever you need at any time. There is no man in the house, so you should be careful. If there is any problem, tear up the talisman, and I will come soon."
A woman asked: "Aren't you living here?"
Zhang Pa shook his head: "Forget about everything in the past, live a good life, you clean up first, I will go buy food." After saying that, he went out, leaving the three women staring at each other, a little confused about the situation. The older one sighed: "Let's clean up." He went into the house and put down the title deed and silver bills. The three of them had been pampered for many years and had few opportunities to work. They were exhausted from cleaning up.
Zhang Pa came back after buying food and reminded again: "Don't show off your wealth, live a low-key life, don't have conflicts, and raise your children well." Then he left. The three women looked at each other, feeling sad, and crying together.
He walked out along the way, and took a few more glances when passing by his own house. There lived a large family inside, and they were quite prosperous and harmonious. He continued walking forward, and there was a five-story building beside the road, which was the residence of the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain. There were more than a dozen monks meditating and cultivating their breath. The three people who had just checked the aura of the talisman were also there. They were not trained enough and could not find Zhang Pa.
