Exile at the beginning: I rule the world by drawing cards

Chapter 24 The wild man is here
The rain came quickly and left quickly.

Qin Mengshang didn't get wet, but Jinbao, who came out to greet her, ran a step too slowly and became a drowned dog.

The little guy shook the water everywhere on his body. Qin Mengshang pulled a piece of handkerchief and wrapped it around him. He rubbed it until the little guy squealed and curled up to hide behind her.

We had just packed up the little drowned dog in this compartment, and the people who were working on the river embankment also came back. By coincidence, they also became wet dogs.

"Why don't you know how to take shelter from the rain?" Qin Mengshang pulled off another clean handkerchief and threw it to him.

Zhou Lingqi didn't know that the day would change so quickly. There were fields and woods on both sides of the river embankment. He couldn't take shelter in the woods on a rainy day, right?Not only him, but also the workers working on the river embankment became drowned.

He wiped his face. The wet clothes felt uncomfortable sticking to his body. He said "I'm going to change clothes" and then opened the door curtain and entered the house.

Qin Mengshang ignored him and went to the kitchen to cook two bowls of ginger soup.

Although the weather in June is hot, it is much cooler when it rains. Zhou Lingqi is not in good health, so he must take precautions against wind, cold and fever.

It rained a lot and the sky turned dark, so we couldn't do any work on the river embankment today.

Zhou Lingqi changed her clothes and came out. He saw her busy in the kitchen and asked her a rare question: "What are you going to eat tonight?"

Qin Mengshang found it strange and funny, and handed him a bowl of ginger soup: "There is only one white rice tree left in the house. What would your husband like to eat?"

It wasn't the first time I heard her call that, but it still sounded strange to Zhou Lingqi.He took the hot ginger soup, lowered his head and took a sip, then announced the name of the dish: "Crab Meat Noodles."

Ever since he had that bowl of crab meat noodles, he had been thinking about it, and after eating at Hedi Kitchen today, he was thinking about it even more. Unfortunately, there was a little bit of crab meat, and he was not satisfied with the meal.

Qin Meng Shang also felt the same. She was delayed by Li Zhang yesterday and came back after catching half of the crabs.

Looking at the sky outside, I remembered that I had placed a fishing cage in the river. I immediately went to the house to get some needle and thread, made two simple fishing rods, and handed over a Zhou Lingqi.

Zhou Lingqi looked at the strange thing in his hand and asked, "What are you doing with this?"

"Fishing for crabs." Qin Mengshang took a bucket and a small hoe, "Let's go before it gets dark."

Zhou Lingqi: "."

He had never caught crabs before, and he was not sure that something like this, which had a stick tied to a line, could catch crabs.

But it turns out that fishing has a novice protection period, and the same goes for crab fishing.

Qin Mengshang found a place with lots of weeds, tied up earthworms and threw them into the water. After a while, the long line pulled, and under Zhou Lingqi's shocked eyes, a green crab took the bait.

"Bring the bucket quickly!"

"." Are crabs so easy to take the bait?
Before he could think about it, Qin Mengshang caught the second and third fish.
Turning his head and seeing that he was still motionless, Qin Mengshang said, "If you want to eat crab meat noodles, you have to catch them yourself. If you don't start, I will catch all the crabs."

Zhou Lingqi hesitated for a long time, then squatted down next to her silently. His pupils trembled when he saw the twisted and squirming earthworms in the small bowl.

His Royal Highness, who has severe mysophobia, really can't do anything.

But seeing Qin Mengshang showing no mercy at all, he fell into struggle again. After some hesitation, he seemed to have made some huge determination and reached out his hand to the bowl.
It was just after You hour, after the rain stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, and there was a light purple sunset over the mountain top, the flowing clouds were light, and the breeze was sultry.

After Zhou Lingqi caught the first crab, he seemed to have opened the door to a new world and had a great time.

Who would have thought that at this moment, a pretentious voice came in from the side: "Isn't this from the Zhou family? There are so many crabs and fish. Why didn't I know there were crabs in this river before?" Qin Mengshang and Zhou Ling Pray and raise your head at the same time.

One was curious about who was showing off his strange behavior again, and the other was unhappy about being disturbed while fishing for crabs.

Widow Zhang's heart trembled when she saw Zhou Lingqi's cold gaze, but when she saw that face clearly, she suddenly became elated.

She has been in Sanjiang Village for so many years, and has accompanied many people for money, sometimes out of her own heart, and sometimes for lonely entertainment, but she has never had such an impulsive desire for a man like she does now.

Qin Mengshang was speechless when he saw Widow Zhang's expression: "Auntie, what are you looking at my husband for? There's no crab on his face."

"Auntie?!" Widow Zhang pointed at herself in disbelief, "You call me auntie?"

She is only 29 this year, five months and 30 days away from turning 21. How come it is Qin Mengshang's turn to call her aunt?
"You are the only one here. Who else can I call if I don't call you?"

Qin Mengshang felt that he had called her correctly. She was only eighteen years old and still young. It was not an exaggeration to call Widow Zhang "aunt". Who told her to come here to find trouble?

Widow Zhang was so angry that her face turned green.

Today, she was first caught and scolded by Mrs. Xu, and then she was pushed and shoved by that bitch Chen Er. She was suffocating in her heart. When she came home and saw a pile of clothes to be washed, she felt so angry. .

As soon as I came to the river and saw the Zhou family there, I immediately remembered that I was scolded because of Qin Mengshang, so I wanted to come over and say something to vent my anger. Who thought that this little daughter-in-law of the Zhou family was so talkative?

Widow Zhang's face was green and purple. She was so angry that she didn't even care about Zhou Lingqi's presence. She opened her mouth and started talking nonsense:
"We are all exiled. I know better than you how the exiled female prisoners are treated! When your husband-in-law was lying at home, he would see him running outside every day. He didn't even have half a coin on him and he went to the city to bring a bunch of things back. Maybe he could tell That wild man gave it to you!"

Qin Meng Shang smiled angrily, pulled Zhou Ling and prayed: "Yes, the wild man is here."

Zhou Lingqi: "."

Widow Zhang's expression froze, and she said to Zhou Lingqi without giving up: "Your wife is working as a helper on the river embankment and has been flirting with Li Zhang all day long! Who knew she -"

"Enough said?"

Zhou Lingqi interrupted her with a voice, his dark eyes were calm and calm, but it made people's hearts tremble.

Widow Zhang's face turned pale, and her back felt cold.Fear is real, jealousy is real.

Qin Mengshang, who was also exiled, was much better than her, both in appearance and husband.

She looked good when she was young, but unfortunately her husband died early and no one was there to protect her. The face she was once proud of has become a reminder. If you take the initiative to please, you can make some money, but if you don't take the initiative, you will lose your life.

Seeing Qin Mengshang now, Widow Zhang seemed to see her former self.When she heard that Li Zhang was interested in Qin Meng Shang, her first reaction was joy - finally there was someone like her.

But the fact is not the case.

Qin Mengshang didn't want to talk to her anymore, so he pulled Zhou Lingqi to the other side, "Aunt Zhang wants to wash clothes here, let's go fishing over there."

Zhou Lingqi looked down at the hand holding his sleeve, his eyes dim and unclear.

The Qin in his memory seemed weak, but in fact she was hypocritical and ruthless. She deceived him for ten years and almost made him give the crown prince position to her and the emperor's brother's son.

They obviously have the same appearance and voice, but the person in front of me is so different from the person in my memory that... can it be said that they are two people?
