Lan Jing thought that he should have something to say, so he hurriedly took him to the side.
Zheng Changxing looked left and right before he lowered his voice and said, "Lord Tang, do you still remember the last general?"
"Ah" Lan Jing was stunned for a moment, then looked him up and down, the brown iron hat covered half of his face and he couldn't see his face clearly, and he looked tall and strong in a cloth armor of the same color.
Lan Jing searched for such an image of a soldier in his mind for a long time, but he couldn't think of seeing it there, so he had to ask embarrassedly, "Have I seen you?"
Zheng Changxing smiled, as if he had thought of this result, and hurriedly said, "The last general was originally a general in Mobei, and two years ago, General Yuan recommended the last general to be the leader of the river protection army in Yungang, because the last general's home is in Yungang County. ā
Lan Jing nodded in understanding, "And then?"
"Yangliu Hutong Chen Mansion, that time you came over, the last general was also there. ā
Lan Jing smiled wryly, "That, there are too many people, and I was thinking about things at the time, so I didn't remember people, I'm sorry." ā
Zheng Changxing's face turned red, "That's not what the last general meant, the last general wants to thank you, my lord..."
"Thank you for what? People haven't been rescued yet, so thank you when you get rescued." Lan Jing said and patted him on the shoulder, "By the way, can you help me get something on the boat?"
When Zheng Changxing heard this, he immediately asked enthusiastically: "What do you want, as long as you can find it, you will definitely find it." ā
"A barrel of this size," Lan Jing said, gesturing, "and a white muslin, and some sand and stones. ā
"And, also, a big barrel, a small barrel, and charcoal, get a little more. After speaking, he took out a silver ticket from his arms and handed it to Zheng Changxing.
Zheng Changxing hurriedly waved his hand, "These are not worth it..."
Lan Jing stuffed it into his arms, "Take it, if you can't use it, the rest will be regarded as if I invited my brothers to drink, thank them for coming to rescue me just now." ā
Zheng Changxing thought for a moment, nodded, turned around and walked off the boat.
Luo Xiaofan leaned over, "What did you say?"
"Want to know?" Lan Jing looked at him with his chest crossed.
Luo Xiaofan hurriedly nodded, "You have been muttering for so long, I am curious to death." ā
Lan Jing shook his head, "I won't tell you." ā
Lin Chu looked at it and shook his head funny, Xiao Jing was so naughty.
When the boatman saw that the man had returned and the things were ready, he raised his hand and shouted, "Open the boat"
Lan Jing hurriedly walked over, "Wait a minute, there are still things on the boat." ā
The boatman looked at Lan Jing suspiciously, and Lan Jing smiled, "It shouldn't be long, you get off the boat and wash up and rest." ā
It doesn't take long for Lan Jing to say, in fact, it's not too long, it's just over an hour.
Zheng Changxing and the guards carried things and walked onto the boat majestically.
Facing Lan Jing's gaze, they put the things in front of Lan Jing, "What do you want these for?"
Zheng Changxing asked puzzledly, if he said that he wanted charcoal, he could understand, after all, the weather was so cold, but these sand and stones...
Lan Jing smiled, "I'm not sure if I can succeed, from electricity, from books." ā
As he spoke, he took the vat, made an opening underneath, and inlaid the iron sheet into an arc.
Then put several layers of muslin cloth, pour sand and stones into it in turn, then put another layer of charcoal, then put some sand and stones in it, and finally lay several layers of fine cotton.
"Cousin Jing, what are you doing here?" Luo Xiaofan squatted beside the bucket and asked puzzled.
Lan Jing picked up the bucket, loaded the rope, walked to the side of the boat, and was about to throw it down to fetch water.
Lin Chu grabbed her hand, "I'll come." ā
Lan Jing glanced at him, "Okay, thank you." ā
When the bucket was lifted by Lin Chu, it was filled with a bucket of water, Lan Jing wanted to reach out to take it, but was blocked by Lin Chu, he took the bucket and walked to the bucket filled with sand and stone, and slowly poured the water into it.
Lan Jing hurriedly used another bucket to catch the water. The water was filtered and transparent, and the onlookers looked at this scene stupidly, "How could this be..."
"Is there any white vinegar?" asked Blue as he turned his head to the boatman.
"Yes, yes," the boatman said, and quickly turned around and went back to the kitchen to get it.
Lan Jing took the vinegar and poured it into the water, and the boatman asked puzzledly, "Why did you pour the vinegar into it?"
"Sanitize..."
"Poison?" the boatman took a few steps back in horror. The others also silently took a step back, and it was better not to get poisonous.
Lan Jing couldn't help but burst out laughing, and couldn't straighten up with a straight smile.
After a while, he exhaled, stood up straight and said seriously: "This poison is not the poison of the other." ā
After saying that, seeing that they still didn't believe it, she coughed, "Simply put, the water before was not drinkable, but now it can be drunk." ā
The boatman breathed a sigh of relief, and his steps moved up again, "Why can't you drink vinegar before you put it? It's really poisonous? Who is so immoral to put poison in the river." ā
Lan Jing didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically, "Why didn't you drink the water from the river before?"
"Because it's dirty, it's not as clean as the water in the well. ā
"Well, well, that's what it means, pouring vinegar into it cleans up the dirt. Lan Jing continued his words.
The boatman circled the bucket twice, "It doesn't look dirty, it's as clean as well water." ā
"This is not how you look at it, you have to go under the microscope..."Lan Jing said this and paused, "Anyway, there are some very small creatures that can't be seen in it, so they must be killed, otherwise they will have diarrhea." ā
After Lan Jing finished speaking, he didn't care if they understood it or not, turned around and thanked Zheng Changxing, and then walked back to his room.
Lin Chu gently pushed the door open, "Do you want to sleep?"
Lan Jing looked up at him, "No, you have something?"
Lin Chu stood at the door with his back to the light, unable to see his face clearly, and he said softly: "You are in a bad mood." ā
Lan Jing looked at him stunned, a sadness permeated her heart, and she unconsciously spoke, "I'm homesick, it's been so long, and I don't know how I'm doing." ā
Lin Chu didn't understand anything else, but I still understood the four words I thought about, he took two steps lightly and stood in front of Lan Jing, "When we get off the boat, we will go home first." ā
Lan Jing lowered her head when she heard this, tears dripping on the back of her hand, the home she thought about was not so easy to go back to. Her grandparents, parents, and parents don't know how they're doing now, whether they miss her as much as she misses them, or miss her more.
Grandma once said that she was the meat of her heart, and grandpa also said that she was the little baby of the family.
Her grandparents doted on her a little more than her brother, who was related by blood.
Thinking of this, her tears flooded and she couldn't help but sob.
Lin Chu turned around and closed the door, then walked up to her and pressed her head against him.
Lan Jing didn't care about anything, she really needed to vent, so she directly reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist, put her face against his abdomen and cried lowly.
