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

Chapter 9
Hedi only takes care of lunch. After noon, you can go back.

Mrs. Chen was very unhappy about the fact that Qin Meng Shang broke a bowl. She started talking about it as soon as she entered the kitchen. After she finished talking, she suddenly added: "The seven cents will be deducted from your wages."

Qin Mengshang: "..."

After all the foreshadowing, it turned out that I just wanted her to lose money.

She didn't have any objection. She really deserved compensation for breaking something.

When Mrs. Chen saw that she agreed so readily, most of her dissatisfaction disappeared. She asked her to finish washing the dishes and then let her go back.

When it doesn't rain, every household gets busy.Those who patched up the roof, those who dried the quilts, took advantage of the sunny weather to finish all the work they had saved.

Qin Mengshang thought that the roof at home was leaking and there was no quilt, and he suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier.

The weather in June is fine, and even if it rains, I can still fall asleep wrapped in clothes at night, but in winter, it is impossible to live without a quilt to keep out the cold.

She wanted to buy two large quilts before winter came, but what was more important right now was to find a way to repair the roof first, and just relying on a straw mat wasn't the solution.It is rainy in June and July in Yongzhou. It is sunny today, but no one can say for sure whether it will rain tomorrow.

Halfway through, I saw Mrs. Zhu coming out of Li Zheng's house angrily. Her clothes were stained with dirt. She thought she was sitting on the ground crying and making a fuss again.

She was still cursing, saying that Li Zheng didn't care about Chen Ergou's life or death, and that she had called him uncle for so many years in vain.

As soon as he finished cursing, a basin of water was poured from behind him. Boss Chen said with a livid face: "It's not my father who blinded Chen Ergou. If you want to find him, go to the gambling house to seek justice!"

Those rogue gangsters in the gambling house even had to give three cents to the county magistrate when they saw them. How could Mr. Zhu dare to go to them?She could only ask Li Zheng to get some medicine money for her.

Who would have thought that she was so cruel that she just refused to come forward, and then she allowed her son to kick her out!
Mrs. Zhu was furious, but looking at the three tall and powerful sons of the Chen family, she shrank back in anger and walked away crying, saying that her life was miserable.

Qin Meng Shangbai watched the excitement and told Zhou Lingqi about the matter as soon as he returned home.

When the latter heard this, there was no emotion on his face: "He has done something wrong, of course he dare not say it. It would be a good idea to blame it on the gambling house."

Qin Mengshang thought deeply: "But pushing it to the gambling house is not a long-term solution. If the matter is exposed..."

I'm afraid it will really lead to revenge from the gambling house.

"Isn't it just right? It saves me having to do it myself."

He closed his eyes and leaned against the wall, his voice was still calm, his expression was pale and cold, and his scarred wrists were resting on the bedside. He looked extremely weak, but one could inexplicably smell the contempt and ruthlessness of a superior person who was above the rest of the world.

No wonder the old emperor couldn't stand him.

He stood up with such momentum that he was even bigger than me when he was the emperor. Only if he was not feared would he be evil!

Qin Mengshang thought secretly, and took out a piece of grain rice crust from his arms and gave it to him: "I am a helper in the kitchen on the river embankment and have already eaten. This is for you."

Zhou Lingqi suddenly opened his eyes, and his dark eyes stared at her with surprise and weirdness.

Qin Mengshang's heart skipped a beat when he saw it, and he put the rice cake into his hand: "Besides porridge, this is the only thing at home, so just make do with it."

I don't know how many times he heard the word "make do" from her mouth. Zhou Lingqi's eyes were complicated, he pursed his lips and said nothing.

Since he didn't have to go to the riverbank to help with work in the afternoon, Qin Mengshang rummaged around in the house and found a hammer to repair the door.

This house is in dilapidated condition, and the doors and windows are fragile and not repaired. I always feel uneasy when I sleep at night.

But here comes the question, how to repair this door?
Qin Mengshang crossed his arms and stared at the old wooden door, lost in thought.

"The bolt below is loose, just put it back as it is."

The person with his eyes closed didn't know when he opened them, and the hoarse voice was neither fast nor slow, and no fluctuations could be heard.

Qin Mengshang turned around and looked into those dark, unruffled eyes. He was a little surprised. His royal highness, the noble prince, actually knew carpentry?
Zhou Lingqi gave her a deep look, then said nothing and lay back in silence.

Qin Mengshang blinked, thinking he was weird.Then I thought about it, the prince had just experienced the pain of genocide, and it was normal to be depressed, so he didn't care about him anymore.According to the method he said, the door was finally repaired after a lot of effort.

It didn't rain again during the night, but the ground was still wet. It was expected that there would be heavy rain in the next few days.

Qin Mengshang tried to cook corn rice, but it was dry and hard to eat without oil and salt.

She couldn't eat, but Zhou Lingqi didn't choose. He would eat whatever was handed to him.

Qin Mengshang was not as indifferent as him. Lying in the musty-smelling room, he began to miss her soft big bed and the paper she had not yet submitted.
I didn't know how to fall asleep after thinking about it. When I woke up the next morning, I still saw this dilapidated house in front of me.

She rubbed her face expressionlessly, yawned and got up from the floor.

Zhou Lingqi's injury has not yet healed, and she has to go to the Hedi kitchen to help.Fortunately, Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Chen treated her well and allowed her to do easy tasks.After Li Zhang came yesterday, he came again today.Although he didn't talk to Qin Mengshang, his eyes glanced towards the kitchen from time to time.

Qin Mengshang pretended to turn a blind eye.

As Ji said, they had just arrived in Sanjiang Village and were exiles, so they would easily suffer if they made trouble rashly.As long as he doesn't make trouble in front of her, she won't take the initiative to stir up trouble.

The kitchen is closed in the afternoon, so you can go back when you're done.

The food tank at home is almost at its bottom and has actually never been filled. How to get through next is still a question.

After thinking about it, Qin Mengshang picked up the hatchet and planned to go for a walk in the mountains.

The borrowed grain won't last long, and we can't wait for the river bank to pay for work. We can only go to the mountains to see if there are pheasants, hares, etc., and sell them for money in exchange for some grain.Moreover, she remembered that after the rain every June and July, fungi would grow in the mountains.

Seeing her packing her things, Zhou Lingqi hesitated and said, "Are you going alone?"

In the past two days, he seemed calm, but in his heart he was wondering about Qin Mengshang's purpose of staying.But after observing her for so long, not only did she not show any flaws, she actually kept the house in order.

He was even thinking that maybe Qin was reborn with memories like him, so he acted so naturally.
During the short sentence, Zhou Lingqi's expression changed three times. He closed his eyes and looked like he didn't want to hear more from her.

Qin Mengshang was confused. He was the one who asked, but now he is the one who doesn't want to listen. Are men's thoughts so difficult to guess?

Too lazy to care about him anymore, he grabbed the backpack and left the yard.

On the way, I met a few women from the same village. No one talked to her, which saved a lot of trouble.

The forest on the mountain is dense. The side near the village is where women and children dig wild vegetables and cut pig grass. You have to go further in to chop wood and hunt.

Qin Mengshang walked deep into the woods, and after confirming that no one was passing by, he called General Meng out.

Meng Tian has been marching and fighting for many years, so hunting is not a problem, not to mention that the lord has needs. As a minister, he should do his best.

"My lord, please wait here and come back soon."

After saying that, a circle of lavender light floated around him. Gradually, the iron sword he wore turned into a long bow, and the armor on his body was replaced by lighter armor, and he ducked into the woods.

Qin Mengshang's eyes lit up, it turned out that he could still change the equipment.Then, click on the system virtual translucent panel:

【Currently Available Points: 506】

[Number of cards owned: 1]

[Would you like to choose to draw a card? 】

You can get two points by signing in every day, and two hundred points are needed to draw a card once. If you draw ten times in a row, you will get an SSR card.Qin Mengshang always felt that the following sentence was like some kind of hidden rule, implicitly implying that she could not draw a single card. If she drew a useless card, her points would be lost.

After careful consideration, she decided to save points first.

After putting away the cards, Qin Mengshang took out the hatchet hanging from his waist and cut a few pieces of palm skin, preparing to take them back to pad the roof.

The weather has been sunny these days, but there is no telling when it will rain again. The roof of the house is still covered with straw mats, so I am not afraid of light rain, but if it rains heavily, pots and pans will have to be used to collect water.

She inquired about roof repairs and found out that there was a brick kiln in the town, and 5000 yuan of tiles cost about two taels of silver.My house is small and I don’t need that much, but it does require at least one thousand watts.

But now she can't even get half a copper, so she can only put the matter of buying tiles to repair the roof on hold for now.

After rolling up the palm bark, a rustling sound of undressing suddenly came from the trees over there.

Then, a soft female voice sounded: "Why do you have time to come to me today? Are you angry with your wife again?"

The man lowered his head and was busy and ignored her.

The woman was not annoyed, but smiled and said: "I heard that the new lady in our village is helping in the kitchen. Have you seen it? I also heard that someone saw Chen Ergou running out of her house at night. What do you think? , Could it be that Chen Ergou's eyes were touched by her..."

The strength of the man's hand suddenly increased, and she couldn't help but shout softly: "What are you doing!"

"Who did you listen to?" the man said in a gloomy tone.

"I... I also forgot, it seems that the Qian family's wife said... Oh, why are you so angry? Could it be related to you?"

This statement touched the man's heart, and he became angry and said: "This damn thing can't stop your mouth, can it?!"

The woman begged for mercy again and again, not daring to say another word.

After hearing these words, Qin Mengshang fell into deep thought. So Chen Ergou had an accomplice?
