Chapter 17 Jiulong Mountain

Li Liang knew that they were frightened, and nodded quickly.

"It's really alright. I'll go first and you guys can follow me later."

After saying that, he turned around and walked forward. He had walked this way several times before, so he was naturally not afraid.

Wang Xifeng and Ping'er looked at Li Liang nervously, and when they saw that no snakes or insects came out like before, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Madam Er'er, it seems to be true. Do you really want to go in?" Ping'er asked fearfully.

Wang Xifeng's face flashed with hesitation. She really didn't want to go in.
But he was also afraid that Jia Hu would be dissatisfied with him, which could be fatal. Who knew if he would release a poisonous snake to bite him?
"Go in." Wang Xifeng gritted her teeth.

"What are you afraid of? I am his second sister-in-law after all." She was obviously not confident enough when she said this.
Grandmother Jia is still the ancestor, didn’t she almost die too?

I secretly regretted that I should have brought Yingchun here earlier.

Ping Erh said nothing more, but supported Wang Xifeng and walked forward, stepping cautiously into the courtyard.

The two paused and looked around in panic.
Seeing that nothing really came out, they all breathed a sigh of relief and then bravely walked forward.

Jia Hu stood at the door, frowning as he looked at Li Liang.

Then he turned to look at Wang Xifeng who was slowly approaching, and his face suddenly turned cold.
"Who told you to bring them in?" His tone was a little cold.

Li Liang was so scared that he fell to his knees.

"Master San San, this has nothing to do with me. It was Second Madam who asked me to bring them here.

I am just a doorman, I dare not disobey, please spare my life, Master San." His tone was full of pleading,
He was afraid that he would end up like Wang Zhuer.

Wang Xifeng and the others had already come over and saw Li Liang was so frightened.
When he saw Jia Hu's cold face again, he felt inexplicably uneasy.

Wang Xifeng tried to calm down and forced a smile.

"Oh, Hu Ge'er, you are too scary.
It's like this, the old lady saw that you had no one to serve you, so she gave you this person who often ran errands for you,
The old lady is also concerned about you, so I am sending someone to you, right? "

Jia Hu's expression eased a little, but his voice remained cold.

"Is that so?"

“Isn’t that the case?

I know you like quietness, I've sent someone here and will leave right away. "Wang Xifeng is very good at observing people's expressions.

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief and decided that I would never come here again.

"Ping'er, why don't you give the indenture contract and the monthly salary to Mr. Hu Sanye?" Wang Xifeng said to Ping'er hurriedly.

Ping Er came back to her senses.
"Oh, oh," he hurriedly took out a cloth bag and a contract of sale and carefully handed them to Jia Hu.
"Master Hu Hu..."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said

"Brother Hu, I really didn't know you before. This is your allowance for these years, and I'll give it to you as well."

Jia Hu looked at the cloth bag and the indenture in front of him, reached out to take the indenture, and said calmly:

"I don't need the silver, give it to my sisters, and I'll give my share directly to them from now on."

Ping'er stood there in a daze, not knowing for a moment whether to take it back or give it to Jia Hu.

"Huh? Didn't you hear me?" Jia Hu frowned.

Ping'er retracted her hand quickly and hurriedly retreated to Wang Xifeng's side. Her little face turned pale, and she was frightened.

Wang Xifeng's heart skipped a beat and she quickly said with a smile

"Okay, okay, Hu Ge'er, I'll listen to you."

Jia Hu nodded

"Thank you."

Wang Xifeng was stunned. Was she hallucinating? He actually said thank you to her?

Ping'er was also stunned for a moment, unable to react.

Jia Hu looked at the two stunned people and frowned.

"You can go."

"Oh...oh..." Wang Xifeng woke up in shock and nodded in agreement.
Just as he was about to turn around, he remembered something and said with a smile

"Brother Hu, the Jia family is now your second sister-in-law and I am the housekeeper. If you have anything, just come to me directly. Let's go."

Jia Hu nodded gently, and Wang Xifeng and Ping'er left in a hurry. Jia Hu then looked at Li Liang who was still kneeling.
"Okay, get up."

"Thank you, Third Master." Li Liang stood up quickly.

He looked at the indenture in his hand and handed it to Li Liang.

"Put it away yourself."

"Ah!" Li Liang stared blankly at the indenture, stammering

"Master San San, what are you doing for me?"

Jia Hu said calmly

"It's useless for me to hold it, and it just takes up space. Besides, do I need this thing to control you? Do you dare to betray me?"

Li Liang was stunned. Looking at Jia Hu's cold face, he seemed to be afraid.
He quickly took the indenture
"Master San San, I will keep it for safekeeping. I will give it to you whenever you need it." He didn't dare to destroy it unless he wanted to die.

Jia Hu said calmly

"Whatever." Then he went into the house.

Li Liang put the contract of sale in his pocket and hurried in. He served tea and water and cleaned the house. He did not dare to be idle at all.

Jia Hu looked at Li Liang who was busy running around and suddenly said
"Li Liang, do you know which mountain outside the capital is the least visited?"

Li Liang, who was wiping the cabinet, was stunned. Seeing Jia Hu's serious expression, he did not dare to be careless and started thinking seriously.

Jia Hu was not in a hurry. He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and waited quietly.

"It's a place with few people. It must be Jiulong Mountain." Li Liang suddenly said,

Then he looked at Jia Hu nervously.

"Third Master, why are you asking this?"

Jia Hu's eyes lit up

"Jiulong Mountain? Okay, you lead the way for me tomorrow."

"Ah!" Li Liang was so scared that he sat down on the ground, his face full of horror.
"No, no, Master San, we can't go there."

Jia Hu's face turned cold

"Why, you don't want to lead the way?"

"No, no, Third Master, Jiulong Mountain is the royal mountain.

Sometimes there are imperial guards guarding the place and no one is allowed to enter," Li Liang said hurriedly.

Jia Hu's eyes flashed, and he said lightly

"It's okay, just lead the way tomorrow, I'll make sure you're okay."

Li Liang's face suddenly turned bitter, and he wanted to slap himself a few times.
How come I mentioned Jiulong Mountain?

"Master San San, I know there is another mountain, why don't we go there."

Jia Hu turned his eyes away and looked at him coldly without saying anything.

Li Liang's face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Jiulong Mountain, let's go to Jiulong Mountain tomorrow"

Only then did Jia Hu look away.

Li Liang breathed in and out deeply. He was a little impressed by his own courage. Didn’t he know that the Third Master was a killing god?

All they could do was pray silently that there would be no imperial guards tomorrow and no one would discover them.

After Wang Xifeng and Ping'er walked out of the yard, they felt relaxed for some reason.

"Mr. Hu San is so scary." Ping'er said fearfully, patting her chest.

Wang Xifeng looked much better.

"Don't come here again. I don't know where he gets so much evil spirit from at such a young age.

And there were so many snakes and insects, but he wasn't afraid of them. What a weird guy."
