"Bang!"

"Smack!"

Zheng Fan was once again knocked to the ground by the wooden sword.

"My lord, do you need to rest?"

"One more time."

Catching his breath, Zheng Fan got up again and gripped the wooden sword in his hands.

Liang Cheng stood calmly, sword in hand, waiting for Zheng Fan to attack again.

Their practice had been going on for three days now;

In other words, Zheng Fan had been getting beaten up for three days straight.

The feeling wasn't exactly pleasant, but fortunately, Zheng Fan was still able to grit his teeth and persevere.

"Aaaaah!!!"

Zheng Fan launched another attack.

The wooden swords collided incessantly, each of Zheng Fan's strikes was decisive and unreserved.

Liang Cheng was constantly retreating, only parrying.

Finally, after a series of attacks, Zheng Fan's momentum began to wane. Liang Cheng decisively seized the opportunity when Zheng Fan paused to breathe. He took a step sideways and thrust his sword forward. Zheng Fan immediately brought his sword back to block, but Liang Cheng changed his move again, turning, using his waist strength, and raising his leg.

"Bang!"

Liang Cheng's foot landed on Zheng Fan's sword, but the force couldn't be discharged, causing Zheng Fan to stagger backward continuously, then trip over his feet and fall to the ground.

"Huff... huff... huff..."

Zheng Fan lay on the ground, the wooden sword falling beside him.

"It's getting late, my lord, let's call it a day."

"Yeah, okay..."

Zheng Fan didn't insist anymore, he lay on the ground for a while before getting up and heading to the inner residence.

Liang Cheng silently cleaned up his things and went to the well in the courtyard. Several maids were doing laundry there.

"Make way."

Liang Cheng said.

"Brother, you wash yours, we wash ours, it doesn't interfere."

"That's right, watching you bathe makes us wash clothes with more energy."

These maids were all taken in from the Hyena Gang. They were no longer so young. In Feng Siniang's words, they didn't have any further development potential, so they were left to do chores.

They were all married women who had been sold by their husbands or after their husbands' deaths. They had suffered hardships and had a boisterous personality.

Liang Cheng didn't say anything, he drew up three buckets of well water in one go.

Then he turned around, took off his shirt, and folded it neatly.

The maids next to him watched intently.

"Hurry up, why aren't the clothes washed yet? There's still work to be done later. Did the master keep you here to slack off together?"

An older maid came over, first scanning Liang Cheng's well-proportioned muscles several times with her eyes, then cleared her throat and scolded the maids below.

The maids washing clothes by the well could only pack up their basins and clothes and leave together.

Now, Liang Cheng was finally quiet.

At this time, Zheng Fan, who hadn't changed his clothes yet, passed by here and saw Liang Cheng bathing by the well. He couldn't help but stop and shout to him:

"There's a hot spring in the back house, let's go take a bath together."

The pool in the back house of the Hyena Gang originally belonged to the Hyena Gang leader, but now that place had been taken over by Zheng Fan.

When they lived in the inn, because of the limited land, everyone's rooms were next to each other. Now that the place was spacious, the back house part of the two houses that were close together was basically exclusively enjoyed by Zheng Fan.

Every day, several shifts of young women would come to serve Zheng Fan's daily life. Under Siniang's training, they were improving rapidly.

Originally, Siniang also wanted to make a set of cards for Zheng Fan, so he could directly flip the cards to decide who to sleep with at night, but Zheng Fan refused without hesitation.

Little loli-type comics have a very broad market and audience in the comics circle, but Zheng Fan has never been very interested in this type.

He prefers something more mature, with a fuller and more realistic style, like Feng Siniang.

In addition, since returning from the outside world, Zheng Fan had been getting beaten up every day. His energy was almost completely exhausted during the day, and at night he basically took a bath, got a massage, and fell asleep, and didn't have the energy to do anything else.

At this time, facing Zheng Fan's invitation, Liang Cheng shook his head directly and said:

"I don't like hot water."

However, seeming to feel that this refusal was a bit cold, Liang Cheng hesitated for a moment, and added:

"Thank you for your concern, my lord."

Zheng Fan shrugged. Perhaps it was because Liang Cheng was a zombie, and preferred cold to heat.

Therefore, Zheng Fan didn't force it. Besides, it felt weird for one man to force another man to take a bath together.

"Where's Siniang?" Zheng Fan asked.

After "guiding" Liang Cheng in martial arts every day,

Zheng Fan would take a bath with Siniang and get a massage.

There was nothing inappropriate, really just an essential oil back massage or something.

There were really too many bruises on his body. Liang Cheng had been very restrained, but some bruises and blood clots were unavoidable, so after Siniang's massage at night, he could sleep more comfortably.

When Zheng Fan went back just now, he found that Siniang wasn't waiting for him inside like she had been the past few days, so he came out to look for her.

"Maybe in the front yard," Liang Cheng said.

"Okay, I'll go look for her."

Zheng Fan left here, and as soon as he passed through the front corridor, he saw Siniang and A Ming walking side by side.

A Ming was holding a cloth bag in his hand, and was discussing something with Siniang as they walked.

"Let's push this out first, make a wave of money, and then add fragrance. When the industry expands, we'll get alcohol out and develop new products with perfume and soap."

"No, we either don't do it, or we have to do it the best. We're in Tiger Head City, the place is too remote, it's not suitable for stocking. Although the emperor is far away here, it's impossible to be completely let go to make a steady profit.

So, we either don't do it, or we have to do high-end, only in this way can the short-term income be the highest."

"Okay, okay, what about later? In this world, there's both battle qi and magic. The intelligence of the local aborigines in this world is not that unbearable. No matter how many new things we come up with, it's not difficult for them to imitate."

A Ming still felt that slow development, step-by-step delivery of goods, would maximize profits.

"When we become strong, what business will we do?" Feng Siniang rolled her eyes at A Ming.

A Ming smiled when he heard the words and said, "Yes, I've been studying these things recently and my brain is a little wooden."

That's right, after the forces become strong, who still does business to make money.

Just grab it from him!

At this time, Siniang saw Zheng Fan standing not far in front, immediately reached out and covered her mouth, and glared at A Ming, saying angrily:

"It's all your fault, you made me forget to give the master a massage!"

A Ming suddenly envied Blind Bei,

Because Blind Bei could easily roll his eyes at you all day long without feeling tired.

"Master, I'm here, I'm here..."

Siniang ran towards Zheng Fan, holding her skirt.

A Ming was holding his chest with his right hand, and saluted Zheng Fan from afar.

After Zheng Fan and Siniang walked away, A Ming continued to walk forward with the cloth bag.

"Splash..."

Liang Cheng was still showering.

A Ming leaned on the railing, looked at Liang Cheng over there, and shouted:

"I said, why are you zombies so shy, you're still wearing underwear when you take a shower."

Liang Cheng ignored A Ming.

The reason why he chose to take a bath here was because there was a faint baleful aura in this well water.

The ancients built houses and looked at feng shui. The place under this well was a gathering place for baleful aura. This bit of baleful aura was useless to Liang Cheng, but it was comfortable.

Just like smoking is harmful to health, but most smokers choose to light a cigarette to calm their nerves after seeing this slogan.

"Has the baleful aura on your body increased?" A Ming asked.

Liang Cheng shook his head when he heard the words.

"I've tried to hurt myself many times, but the recovery speed hasn't changed. I think the problem may not be with us."

"Splash..."

Liang Cheng poured another bucket of water on himself. After putting down the bucket, he said:

"It's really not on us. I tried to absorb baleful aura in the cemetery, but there's always a limit every time. After exceeding this limit, the baleful aura in my body can't be increased anymore."

"Tsk tsk, right, it seems we're all the same. If we want to restore our strength, it seems there's no possibility of relying on our own hard work anymore, at least, this road, the probability of it working is very low. I think we have to try other paths."

"Other paths?"

"Yes, for example..."

"Plop!"

The mouth of the cloth bag in A Ming's hand suddenly cracked open,

A piece of newly developed soap slipped out of the cloth bag and landed on the ground next to the well. Because the ground was full of water and the soap itself had inertia, it slid a long distance,

All the way,

Sliding to Liang Cheng's feet.

"..." Liang Cheng.

"..." A Ming.

The most fearful thing is,

The air suddenly becomes quiet.

A Ming broke the silence, seemingly to ease the damn inexplicable atmosphere, and added:

"I just developed it, pick it up and use it."

Liang Cheng bent down to pick it up, but suddenly stopped.

The most fearful thing is,

A friend's sudden concern.

"Your relationship is really good."

Blind Bei's voice suddenly rang out from a corner.

Liang Cheng silently picked up the soap, looked up at Blind Bei, and said calmly:

"Something wrong?"

Blind Bei nodded and said:

"Go to the pavilion tonight for a meeting."

Saying that,

Blind Bei raised his hand again and gestured:

"Okay, I'm done, you can continue.

I didn't see anything."

Walking and walking,

Blind Bei's leisurely sigh came again, with a hint of rejoicing:

"Fortunately, I'm blind."
