Poor family mother and son

Gan Lai turned over and wiped the kang mat at Da Binzi's house several times, using both wet and semi-dry rags. Not only did the kang mat reveal its original color, but the rag made of towels was also washed and twisted into gauze by her.

"Okay, you have wiped off a layer of skin on the Kang mat." Chu Qing teased her: "If you wipe it again, it will leak."

Gan Lai just smiled, took out Chu Qing's special bedding from the carriage, spread it out, and went to bring back the hot water for Chu Qing to wash up, since he wouldn't let Chu Qing do it himself anyway.

"Silly girl," Chu Qing teased her again: "Little Starfish can make his own bed and quilt, do you think I can't take care of myself?
Gan Lai has become really different since she became a mother. She is very good at taking care of others, but she just doesn't have to worry about her when Chu Yuan is around.

When Gan Lai was laying out the quilt, Chu Qing happened to sew a mask for Gan Lai.

Needlework is Gan Lai's weak point, but today she said she must wear a mask, otherwise she will always eat dirt while riding a horse.

After finishing the needlework, Chu Qing asked Gan Lai to deliver the kerosene lamp to Xiaobao.

When I go out, I don’t bring a few kerosene lamps with me, but the kerosene lamp is bright, has a glass cover, and is not easy to tip over. I put it in Xiaobao’s tent. If he wants to read a book before going to bed, he won’t worry about burning the tent.

Chu Qing and the others slept in the house, which had plenty of space and could use a three-branch candlestick.

The water temperature adjusted by Gan Lai was just right for a foot soak. Chu Qing's tiredness was aroused by the hot water temperature. While his body relaxed, sleepiness also hit his mind.

Chu Qing sat at the table, soaked her feet in the hot water, and dozed off while supporting her head with one hand.

When Gan Lai came back, he saw that Chu Qing was asleep, so he didn't call her. He just stretched out his hand to test the water temperature. It was still very hot, so he left.

Outside the door, Xiaobao asked: "Is mother asleep?"

Gan Lai: "The golden eagle sent out hasn't come back yet. Your mother won't go to bed peacefully until she receives a reply. Just let her soak her feet and take a nap."

Xiaobao looked at the roasted corn in his hand and said regretfully: "This is the corn stored in the cellar of the tenants. It is still tender. Why did my mother fall asleep?"

Gan Lai grabbed it and put it in his mouth, saying, "It's okay, I'll eat it for her!"

In the room, there was a "beep" sound, and the three candles on the three-branch candlestick exploded at the same time.

Chu Qing, who was dozing off with his eyes closed, only felt his eyelids light up.

"Hey, can you fall asleep here?" came the voice of an old man.

Chu Qing felt that the voice was somewhat familiar and looked up: "Jie Chi?"

"Yes, it's me." Jie Chi responded while looking around the room: "Hey, why did it become like this?"

Chu Qing was confused: "Have you been here?"

It was not a big room, but Jie Chi could walk around a lot. Only then did Chu Qing realize that Jie Chi's lower body could actually pass through the earthen bed, and he could move around the house as unrestrictedly as if he were flying in the air.

"This used to be my temple!" Jie Chi said proudly: "The people built this temple for me!"

Chu Qing: "A temple built for you? Why? Is it just your virtue?"

Jie Chi was not happy: "Why? I have fought floods, rescued people, saved lives, and built ships. The people love me and respect me. How can I be virtuous? I am very virtuous!"

Chu Qing was disdainful: "Tch! Apart from getting into trouble, I don't see any virtue in you! If you hadn't gotten into trouble, would you have dragged me and my son over?"

"You, you, you!" Jie Chi was furious and walked around the room.

From Chu Qing's perspective, one moment he moved into the table, as if an old man had grown on the table; the next moment he jumped into the wall, as if there was an old man trapped in the wall, which was both funny and weird.

Chu Qing picked up the foot towel and swiped it at him: "Stop, stop dangling!" After this swipe, he realized that Jie Chi was really weak. The foot towel penetrated directly through him. How could he withdraw it after throwing it out? Come on, it's like taking a breath of air!

"How did you do it?" Chu Qing shouted: "How come it's fake?"

"You have weak talents!" Old Man Jie Chi shouted: "Can you say that a man is weak? You have been here for more than ten years and you really haven't made any progress at all!"

Chu Qing slapped him with a foot towel again, but it still seemed like the air was being sucked out: "You still say you're not weak!"

"This is called a clone!" Jie Chi corrected: "My temple was originally the location of my copy, but where is my statue? Without the statue, I can only be so empty!"

No wonder he was wandering around, looking for a statue?
Chu Qing suddenly remembered what he saw when he and Xiaobao first entered the ruined temple: the ruined temple was small, with doors and no windows; the paint on the walls was peeling off like a rough house; a mottled clay figure with a missing head and a face on the ground looked very strange. It's desolate.

At first I thought it was some kind of giant Buddha, but now I realized it was actually the statue of the old demon Jie Chi.

Thinking of this, Chu Qing burst into laughter: "Pfft, hahahahahahaha... and you say that the people admire you? Ouch, you are so respectful!"

Think about it, if half of the head is missing from the statue, wouldn’t it mean that it’s headless?

After laughing enough, Chu Qing pointed to the room: "Hey, this is your temple. Except for the bricks left behind, there is not even a piece of mud left behind for your statue!"

Jie Chi sighed: "It's only been a few years, things have changed and people have changed!"

Chu Qing suddenly felt that he had forgotten something. After thinking for a long time, Chu Qing suddenly shouted: "Old monster, tell me quickly, when can we go back? Has the world calmed down?!"

As if he was intentionally making things difficult for Chu Qing, Jie Chi also imitated Chu Qing and frowned. Chu Qing couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to slap him with a foot towel, but thinking that he was just an illusion now, he felt helpless.

Seeing the changing expression on Chu Qing's face, Jie Chi deliberately made her angry: "Yo yo yo, why are you so anxious? You have spent more than 12 years here and you still can't wait for this moment?"

Chu Qing immediately became furious and threatened fiercely: "Be careful, if you push me too hard, I will directly rebel and destroy Daxuan. No matter whether your data changes or not, stay here and don't go out!"

Seeing that Chu Qing was angry, Jie Chi didn't dare to yell anymore, and coaxed her with nice words: "No, I came to you just to tell you this..."

Chu Qing: "Say!"

Jie Chi: "Okay, don't worry, I'm going to tell you right now, Emperor Daxuan sent Li to negotiate with you, hoping to get your family's exclusive agency rights, and to send you the franchise deed of the Chu Family Bookstore that was negotiated before;

However, your adopted son told him that he was late and had already signed the contract with the Voss Kingdom;
Li Jin actually knew this, so he proposed to join all your businesses like the bookstore on the grounds that you were the Duke of Daxuan and should be more concerned about the Daxuan court;
Your adopted son said that he couldn't afford to be careless and could at most give them a dealership, subject to your family's price restrictions. Li Jin disagreed...

Oh, anyway, Li Jin had no choice in the end and had to wait for you to return before he could sign the deed. Your adopted son said that he had all the valid seals and he could make the decision. Li Jin was not willing and had to meet you in person. OK;

Well...that is to say, Emperor Daxuan agrees to cooperate with you;
Now, both Daxuan and Voss are cooperating with you, and you have formed a three-legged alliance with them. There will probably be peace for a long time. As for whether these two emperors will join forces to destroy you..."

"No," Chu Qing said firmly, "You won't allow such a thing to happen. If you kill me, you won't be able to go back. So, you can take care of the rest. Anyway, my part has been done." It’s over!”

Jie Chi said: "That's natural... I am the Shama Shaman of the Voss Kingdom. Under my guidance, the King of Voss has promised to devote himself to developing national power and not start a war within a hundred years;

In short, they can't fight. "

Chu Qing: "What the hell is Shama the Great Witch?"

Jie Chi: "You must know how to respect others, especially me! Shama Shama is the high priest of Voss!"

Chu Qing: "Tsk! What a liar!"
