Ma'am help, the general is in trouble again

Chapter 54

At this time, Wei Yao's eyes swept over Yu Wencheng's direction. Maybe ordinary people couldn't hear anything, but a person with such strong martial arts skills as him, with amazing hearing, could detect something.

His fox eyes narrowed slightly, and his killing intent was fully revealed: "General..."

But Yu Wensheng turned his head, the smile on his lips didn't diminish at all: "You don't need to say anything about irrelevant things, you know?"

Wei Yao was stunned, and the suspicion in his heart was getting deeper and deeper. When he was about to explore, when he inadvertently touched the general's gloomy and gradually dangerous expression, his chest tightened, his heart beat faster and flustered, and he immediately lowered his eyes.

"My subordinates know."

The cold and murderous aura accumulated on the top of Gang Miluo dissipated in an instant, turning into a lingering wind that blew over the back of Weiyao's neck with a sense of icy cold.

Yu Wencheng patted the horse's head lightly, with a warm smile on his face, pulling the reins and setting off steadily.

"After tanning the skin of the big bug, spread it on top of the main seat of my battalion."

"Yes."

-

No sound?
After everyone had left and the bustling street became empty, Zheng Quchi popped up with a pair of red rabbit eyes.

He coughed enough just now, but he was afraid of being discovered too loudly, so he covered his mouth to avoid being suffocated.

Seeing that the ground was sprinkled with a layer of gray-brown mixed dust, the seasoning sold by two is quite expensive in modern times, but in this era, look at the waste of this place.

Wouldn't it be delicious to use them to boil the barbecue?
She resisted the urge to lay down on the ground and sweep it up, then pack it up and go home.

She walked to the place where she was fighting just now, she moved cautiously, searched for a while, and finally found a silver needle.

She didn't reach out to touch it, because she wasn't sure if it was poisoned or not.

A very small one, thicker than a man's leg hair, but it was not broken when it hit the hard stone floor, instead it sank in half.

This is enough to prove its hardness.

She walked to the other side, squatted down to observe carefully, and saw a scratch cut on the ground by the knife.

This line is very shallow, just as the thin side slips past the hard stone. This is the weapon used by the soldiers of Ye State.

The other one was very deep. It cut a gap in the stone surface of the same material, and even produced heavy cracks.

This is the weapon of the public loser, and it is astonishingly destructive.

It is true that it has the strength of the nine-foot man itself, but it is just a "spider with eight legs" that is controlled and moved, so it is more of a mechanical force.

And Gongshu Jiruo's body, although she didn't fully understand it, but through his dismantling and assembling movements, she could understand that his body was not only a defensive device, but also a mobile weapon.

Every "skeleton" of it, every connecting part of the body, may be independently combined to become a brand new weapon.

One one gets one, two two gets four, four four gets sixteen... the cycle is repeated.

Then... isn't he just carrying a mobile armory on his body? !

Zheng Quchi's scalp felt numb because of such a guess, and blood rushed to the top of his head at once, making those light brown eyes extremely bright.

She really gained knowledge.

Maybe she was thinking too much, but it doesn't mean that if she researches in this way, it won't be possible.

It was the first time for her to really see the top mechanical level of craftsmen outside of Ye Kingdom. Although the big guy in Moye was quite powerful, but because of its bulky and crude appearance, she didn't feel much surprise or surprise.

It seems that she underestimated the level of craftsmanship in other countries!
This man named Gongshu Jiruo, he simply subverted her understanding of the machinery of this era. While others were still working hard to refine refined iron, he was already able to maturely make steel, and he was able to make them into this kind of machine. A weapon that is extremely portable and capable of causing sufficient lethality.

I don't know if she will have this opportunity to communicate with him in the future...

She believes that she will definitely benefit a lot and understand the level of artisans in this world better.

But for now, the world of these big shots is too far away from her, so let's focus on solving the more realistic things in front of us.

She has just earned her first pot of gold, and she can't even raise the funds to build a processing plant, so she should not be too careless.

However, there is also a full 50 taels of silver.

Thinking of this, Zheng Quchi was so excited that he wanted to jump up on the spot.

In order to save money, she originally planned to go to the street market to buy some animal furs, and then find someone to process and tan them into leather. Although it is more troublesome, it is definitely cheaper than buying ready-made clothes.

But now, she accidentally got several times more money than she expected, so she can spend it extravagantly and go directly to the tailor shop to buy a more finely crafted and beautiful fur coat.

She still went to the store where she bought men's clothing before, bargained with the owner of the store familiarly, and picked out a few thick coats.

Then he handed over the silver fox fur to him and asked him to make a neckerchief according to her request, and if there were any leftovers, he would make another pair of gloves. Because of her generous spending, she took away a piece of fox green fur at once. A white lamb fur coat, a cross-collared rabbit coat, and a woolen leather jacket. The boss made money and agreed to it.

She asked how long it would take to be able to pick it up.

He said that he could expedite it for her. It might take about a month for others, but she promised that half a month would be enough.

After Zheng Quchi calculated, she would have gone to work half a month later: "Boss, can you deliver the goods to your door?"

"Girl, if it's around Fu County, of course."

After agreeing on the delivery address, Zheng Quchi declined the boss's kindness to deliver the goods for her today, completely ignoring the surprise on the boss's face, and happily picked up the big bag and returned home.

The most expensive thing here is the fox green fur. Although it only has a collar of fox fur, but when it is worn on the body and the collar is buttoned up, it is airtight, thick and warm.

Watching "Mr. White Bear" before, oh, even if Gongshu Jiruo wore such a suit, she felt that apart from the problem of figure, if Liu Fengmian also wore such a suit, she would definitely be tall, elegant and elegant.

As for the warmer and thicker white lamb fur, she chose it for her brother, because it is designed with two sleeves of different lengths. People generally use their right hand, and the right sleeve is shorter, which is more convenient for doing things at home.

The gray fur rabbit coat is fluffy, warm and cute, which is very suitable for children.

As for her, she is about to leave home to work as a stonemason, and the people who do the work are often too cold to move, so she plans to add a wool jacket under her clothes, so that it will not look bulky and will not delay her work.

But after buying these large pieces of clothes, her purse, which had just been filled, became much flatter.

But she doesn't regret it.

The thinking of modern people in using money is that if the money is gone, you can earn it again. Although she is a more cautious person in using money by nature, she can't lose herself and her family. She works so hard to earn money for the happiness of her family. life.

She still remembers what Big Brother Sang said—didn't the previous years just pass through?

The word boil, in Baidu Chinese, is a kind of patience, and reluctant support, and it is a state of continuous suffering.

It's fine if she doesn't have the ability, since she can do it, she will never let them "squeeze".

When Zheng Quchi returned home with a bag of new clothes on his back, he was surprised to see that Liu Fengmian, who came back after dark these days, was also at home at the moment.

Brother Sang and Liu Fengmian have always been nonchalant, one is picking vegetables at the dining table in the hall, the other is standing in the bamboo pavilion in the yard, and sister Yao is squatting by the flower bed and looking sadly at the withered flowers and plants.

Brother Sang has been paying attention to the movement at the door, so when he saw Zheng Quchi coming back, he put aside his work and got up excitedly: "You have been away all day, have you eaten? And you carried such a big bag What is it?"

Zheng Quchi shouted angrily: "Brother."

"Second sister!"

When Yaomei saw her, she immediately ran over with a silly grin.

"Yaomei."

Yu Wensheng also turned around.

"Where have you been?"

As soon as she came back, she was greeted and cared by the whole house, and Zheng Quchi felt a real sense of belonging. Someone was waiting for her, so no matter how late or tired she wanted to go home.

She happily put down the sack and explained to them.

"Today is my luckiest day. I originally planned to go hunting in the woods, but I didn't expect..." She couldn't bring up the matter of Mo Ye, so she changed her words and began to make up: "I just picked up a dog that was shot by someone. A big worm shot through the skull, and next to it is a flayed silver fox."

what? !

Brother Sang was very surprised, but he didn't believe it: "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Zheng Quchi vowed.

Yu Wencheng's eyes flickered slightly, thinking that he had received news from the hunting team not long ago that Mo Ye had appeared near the forest in Hegou Village this morning, judging from his whereabouts and the blood stains left at the scene, he had hunted and killed Surrounded by animals.

If what Zheng Quchi said is true, then in all likelihood, she has picked up on Mo Ye's tricks.

She was right, she was really lucky today, if it had been earlier or later, she would have died at the hands of Mo Ye, and would have been arrested by the search team as an accomplice of the Julu Kingdom, and would have been interrogated and tortured.

He stared at her little black face under the afterglow, her eyelashes were dyed a layer of golden yellow, her hazel eyes were filled with a smile at the moment, her expression was cheerful and proud, and her air was fresh.

"Then, what about your big worm and silver fox fur?" He said softly.

This is knowingly asking.

Zheng Quchi said: "I sold it for 50 taels of silver, and then I bought a coat for each of you."

As she spoke, she bent down and took out the big bag, and took out the coats one by one.

Brother Sang was shocked by the number "50 taels".

He was counting, how many copper pieces is equal to 50 taels?

Brother Sang didn't move, but Sister Sang Yao didn't understand anything, only heard that there were new clothes and jumped excitedly in front of Zheng Quchi.

"Second sister, give me the coat and coat."

"Okay, open your hands, my sister will put it on for you."

Sang Yaomei was already pretty and cute, but she looked even more beautiful in this dress, like a little dumpling carved in powder.

Zheng Quchi pinched her little face and praised: "My Yaomei is so good."

"Well, Yaomei is good."

Sang Yaomei giggled, happily ran away and circled around the flower bed, and her two little hands touched the comfortable and warm fur on the clothes from time to time.

Zheng Quchi took out another piece and showed it to Brother Sang to see if the length and size were suitable.

"You said, you sold this big bug skin for a total of 50 taels?" His expression was shocked, just like saying that there are such fools in this world?
"Seriously." She nodded affirmatively.

"You bought so many clothes just after you made money? Just buy them for yourself and them. I'll just wear ordinary cloth jackets. How much does it cost to buy so many clothes at once?" Brother Sang wondered. Said she was ruined.

Zheng Quchi said, "I've done the calculations. Cloth jackets usually lose warmth after two or three years of wearing and are easy to break, but this fur coat can be worn for many years without breaking. Which one do you think is more cost-effective? Besides, the remaining I have saved all the money I paid. Originally, the ten taels of leather sold for five times the price, so what if I bought you an expensive one? It’s not that the family doesn’t have this condition, and besides, I bought everything, anyway, I can’t refund it. , if you don’t want it, give it to the next door—”

Snapped!Brother Sang stared and patted her on the head: "Nonsense."

He just loves money, and loves her that it is not easy to make money. Although 50 taels is a lot, a poor and disabled family like theirs lacks everything.

But it's hard to get a new dress all year round, who can be unhappy.

Brother Sang turned his head and couldn't put it down, took the clothes, and went to the room to try them on.

After they all walked away, Zheng Quchi took out the fox green fur and put it on Liu Fengmian's shoulders.

"Liu Fengmian, I bought one for you too."

This fox green fur was draped on Liu Fengmian's body, and he felt different immediately. He wore a cape of snow and rolled up mountains and rivers. It seemed that he was not the same as their family, this Hegou Village, or even the whole Fuxian County. style of painting.

The sun is cold, the years are cold, and he, like a phoenix trapped in a mountain village, will eventually live in Wuwu and bathe in fire, play chess in fresh clothes, hold wine against the wind, have a bright future, and embrace the world alone.

For a moment, she was thinking about it, and she was fascinated.

But Liu Fengmian didn't want to ask, "Where's yours?"

Zheng Quchi came back to his senses: "I also bought one, one for each person. I heard from them that this winter is very cold, and I won't let you freeze."

Yu Wencheng didn't know what kind of coat she bought for herself, but this one... for him in the past, it must be because he despises cheapness everywhere.

But he knew that for Zheng Quchi, it was a very expensive coat.

It is normal for people in this world to be careless and trustworthy. He has seen so many that he is used to it, and even thinks that it is right for people not to destroy themselves.

But Zheng Quchi is a small peasant girl, her petite body contains many things that a man lacks.

She did exactly what she said at the beginning, he married her, and she was responsible for making money to support the family and him.

Give him the best she can.

"How long are you going to go out this time?"

After a few days of quarreling, they faced each other again, and they still talked about the topic that had collapsed at the beginning.

Zheng Quchi was not sure if his anger had subsided, so he said the time a little more conservatively: "Ten days and a half a month, as long as there is a vacation in the middle, I will go home when I have time, and I will buy you candy."

The arc of Yu Wensheng's smile was like a dummy, consistent: "Can't tell me, where are you going?"

"I don't know now, anyway, it's not far from Fu County." This sentence is true.

Yu Wensheng lowered his eyes, his pupils were covered by a soft eye veil, and his pupils were deep and deep like a maze, but his tone was as soft as a spring breeze: "Zheng Quchi, when you come back this time, I want to tell you something important. "

Zheng Quchi didn't know why, but his heart was beating fast: "Oh, what's the matter?"

Why does the routine of these words sound so familiar, she seems to have said the same to Yu Wencheng before.

Then on the night of the wedding, the "important thing" she wanted to say almost didn't lead to a tragedy of killing his wife.

He smiled slightly, and looked at her tenderly: "Of course it's my business."

His business?
What about him?

Private or business?Proper or unprofessional?good or bad?

She was aroused by his words, and now she began to suffer.

"Can't we just say it now?"

"No, this is for you." Holding something in the palm of his hand, he stretched it out and handed it to her.

Zheng Quchi spread out his palms and took it.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an ingot of broken silver.

The silver she has seen is too little, and she probably guesses that it should be less than five taels.

But—this is silver, not the common currency copper plates that the country people are used to!

"This is?" she asked in a daze.

Yu Wensheng said casually: "This is the salary I received this month."

"Give it to me?"

"But it's missing?" Yu Wensheng could give her an ingot of gold for pocket money, but in this small Fu County, would she dare to use it?

"of course not."

She just didn't expect that Liu Fengmian would turn in her salary one day and admit that she was the head of the family (?).

At this moment, she saw his beautiful face in the sunset light, as if shining with the light of the Holy Father.

She thought in a trance.

It turned out that marrying a man in a feudal society didn't seem so bad. Her husband-in-law was not only beautiful, but also gentle and virtuous, and even handed in his salary voluntarily.

She clenched the money tightly, thinking, Liu Fengmian has already done this, and in return, she stood on tiptoe and hugged him with open arms, a cool scent was inhaled from him into her nostrils.

His back was very strong, and she didn't dare to touch it. The fluffy hair on his head rubbed against his chin.

"Liu Fengmian, you have been kind to me. I will remember that. I will treat you even better in the future. I will not use this money indiscriminately. I will save it and treat your eyes later."

She was as happy as if she had picked up the money for nothing, and after expressing her sincerity to him, she turned around and ran to the room to hide the money.

But Yu Wensheng was stunned for a moment because of her unexpected action.

He reached out and touched the place where his chin was brushed, it was hot and red like a fire.

And his uncontrollable heartbeat was like a string of beads that had been torn off by someone, and the bouncing marbles were on the rampage, which was both noisy and confusing.

-

The ten-day period has come, Zheng Quchi prepared everything, ran to a place where no one was there and disguised himself as Sang Xuanqing, and then arrived at the meeting point of the masons in the county.

She thought that the recruitment of stonemasons this time was limited by the harsh conditions and not many people could be recruited, but when she came over to take a look, Wu Yangyang's population was really taken aback.

Damn, why are there so many people here?
There must be at least a hundred masons here, all of them tall as mountains, with thin clothes and tight muscles.

The fumigation smell of sweat glands full of male hormones gathered together made Zheng Quchi, who was standing between them, almost not suffocated by this strong male breath.
