Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 372 Listening to the Sermon

Xi Niang breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and opened the gate.

There were many soldiers standing outside the door, and the light armor on their bodies was reflected by the lamplight, casting a fragmented light.

Xi Niang stared blankly at the soldiers outside the door, not knowing what to say for a moment.

She didn't understand. Could the security in the castle be so good?

A short sergeant standing in front of the gate shouted.

"Hey, I heard some noise, is there something wrong?"

When Xi Niang heard the soldier's voice, her heart felt warm.

Isn’t this Li Yan, the bodyguard that Lin Qiaomei just accepted?

This little girl is always concerned about her own safety.

Li Xinyan took over Lin Qiaomei's order and asked her to pay more attention to Xi Niang's condition.

So, when he saw a tall and strong man entering Xi Niang's courtyard alone, he hurried over to check.

Seeing that Xi Niang didn't say anything, he thought everything was fine.

"Forget it, it's just a routine inspection. Sorry for disturbing you."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and prepared to take his people away.

Xi Niang quickly smiled and said, "Oh, my lord, I have something to ask you."

Li Xinyan, who was about to leave, stopped and turned to glare at Xi Niang.

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Xi Niang pointed to the door of the house behind her.

"Someone has entered my house, and I don't know him. I don't know what to do. Could you please ask for me, sir?"

"Oh, that's easy. Wait."

Li Xinyan waved her hand and led a few soldiers into the courtyard.

The tall and strong man was hiding in the house, paying attention to the situation in the yard.

Seeing Xi Niang had pushed him out, he had no choice but to leave the house.

With a smile on his face, he said, "Hey, military officer, we are neighbors. I brought her some food. It's nothing."

As he spoke, he raised the bamboo basket in his hand.

Li Xinyan looked him up and down.

"Which household do you live in?"

"Oh, number 31 Dingzi is my home."

The castle built by Lin Feng was different from other castles. He carefully numbered the buildings in the castle.

The whole city is divided into eight areas: A, B, C, D, E, J, G, and Xin.

This will enable better management of district affairs and bring great convenience to the government inquiry portal.

Li Xinyan shook her head and said, "Come on, take us over there to have a look."

The man grinned and said, "Sir, I didn't lie."

"We'll know whether you're lying or not when we get there."

Several soldiers reached for their swords and stared at the man warily.

Helplessly, the man had to lower his head and turned around. After glancing at Xi Niang, he walked out the door.

Li Xinyan followed the man out and passed by Xi Niang.

Xi Niang secretly gave her a thumbs up.

Li Xinyan's lips curled slightly, and she followed the man without stopping.

Xi Niang breathed a sigh of relief and went over to close the gate.

He sighed slightly and whispered, "This mission is really boring. It's not as exciting as going to the battlefield and killing enemies."

The next day, the old lady came to Xi Niang's yard early in the morning again.

He looked at Xi Niang's face, shook his head and sighed.

"It's hard to find a good man these days. You didn't even take a fancy to my godson. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never get it again."

Xi Niang no longer looked at her and just washed clothes.

"I can support myself, I don't need a man."

Seeing her persistence, the old lady moved closer.

"That's up to you. But I have a good deal here. Are you interested?"

Xi Niang shook her head and simply stopped talking.

The old lady felt more at ease when she saw this.

"Girl, if you just sit cross-legged there, you can get five copper coins."

Xi Niang's hands that were rubbing the clothes suddenly stopped.

She slowly raised her head and looked at the old lady's wrinkled face.

Gradually, Xi Niang's expressionless face was replaced by one of surprise.

"Mother-in-law, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"

The old lady held up a finger proudly.

"Just sit there for an hour and it's five copper coins, that's it."

"Where are we going to sit? Who's going to pay?"

Seeing that Xi Niang asked so directly, the old lady became a little confused again.

Seeing that she was too impatient, Xi Niang sneered.

"I can wash twenty pieces of clothing in an hour and earn twenty copper coins. Why should I sit cross-legged?"

After saying that, he lowered his head and carefully scrubbed the clothes in his hands.

When the old lady saw her refusal, the slight suspicion that had just arisen in her mind was suppressed.

"If you go and sit for a day, you can get a meal."

Xi Niang stopped talking and just concentrated on washing clothes.

The old lady finally cast aside her doubts.

"Just sit cross-legged and listen to the sermon for one night, twenty copper coins and a meal. It won't interfere with your daily life. You can give it a try, young lady. If you think it's not suitable, then you can say no."

Xi Niang finally stopped rubbing the clothes.

"Mother-in-law, you must have been deceived. How could such a good thing happen to us?"

The old lady glared and said, "It's right here at home. If you don't believe me, we can go there tonight. If you don't have money or food, you won't lose anything."

Xi Niang nodded thoughtfully.

"That mother-in-law, your son-in-law is..."

The old lady patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, with me here, this kid won't dare to do anything reckless."

Xi Niang pretended to be hesitant and murmured.

"Then... shall I give it a try?"

"Hey, don't worry. I guarantee you'll want to go there again after the first time. I'll come pick you up tonight."

The old lady was very satisfied with Xi Niang's attitude.

When she was recruiting people, almost everyone looked hesitant, so there was no doubt about it.

It was not until the end of the night of Shu that Xi Niang waited for the old lady to come and knock on the door.

She led Xi Niang along the wall until they came to the door of her house.

As soon as Xi Niang entered the room, she saw the tall and strong man standing in the dark shadows.

He was stroking his full beard with his hand and laughing at Xi Niang.

Xi Niang swallowed her saliva, lowered her head and followed the old lady through the hall into the second courtyard.

After turning a corner, there was a house at the west end of the yard with a dim light on.

As Xi Niang entered the room, a foul smell hit her in the face.

The room was already full of people, all of whom were sitting cross-legged on the floor, meditating quietly with their eyes closed.

The old lady pointed to an empty space in the corner and motioned Xi Niang to sit there.

Xi Niang took a quick look and found that most of the people in the house were neighbors.

Most of them are old men and women, with a few middle-aged and young people occasionally.

Xi Niang also imitated them, sitting cross-legged on the ground and looking up.

I found an incense table at one end of the room, with sandalwood burning on it and wisps of green smoke rising from it.

Behind the sandalwood was a black statue, which was almost life-size and could not be distinguished as male or female.

Xi Niang felt a little stuffy. After sitting for less than a quarter of an hour, she felt short of breath and dizzy.

Am I just going to sit like this all night?

Just as she was wondering, a man in black, about fifty years old, walked in and sat down cross-legged in front of the incense table.

A hoarse and soothing voice sounded.

"Fellow neighbors, we are all ordinary people. All we seek is three meals a day, clothes to wear, family harmony, and a peaceful life. Yet, disasters and calamities, wars and chaos, leave us trapped in hell, unable to survive. Lost and lost, we cannot find the path to happiness and joy. Why do some people enjoy wealth and prosperity while others suffer poverty and misery? All this is simply due to the lack of the true God of destiny..."

Xi Niang listened to his words, her eyes were confused and her head was buzzing.
