Chapter 127: I want to wait for you to come back
Waking up early the next morning, after simply using some dry food, Hua Chang ordered Feng Pei and others to lead the way in front, and arrived at the cottage of the mountain bandits in Songyang Mountain in the afternoon. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Feng Pei's father, that is, the owner of the cottage, took the leaders of the mountain down the mountain to welcome him.
Feng Pei introduced Hua Chang to the people in the cottage, and everyone greeted them one after another. Chu Shuhuang was not interested in these, and while watching the flowers and socializing coldly, he looked at the cottage.
The cottage was built on the mountain, with several wooden and stone checkpoints at the foot of the mountain, and some simple wooden houses scattered on both sides of the mountain road, probably for the brothers to stand guard.
Although the mountain road has been artificially rested, it is still very steep, and it takes more than half an hour to reach the top of the mountain. On the top of the hill, there is a tall and slightly more elaborate lobby, which is the place where affairs are handled in the village, and the house behind is the courtyard where the owner of the village lives, which has now been vacated.
There are also large houses in the back mountain, uneven, disorganized, and the houses of the brothers in the village.
I don't know if it's because there is something serious in the village, the woman and the child are hiding in the house, in short, Chu Shuhuang didn't see any of them.
What she didn't know was that the situation in this cottage was far worse than she imagined, in fact, there were few women and children at all, and the vast majority of mountain bandits couldn't get a daughter-in-law, which was also an important reason why they were in a hurry to go down the mountain.
Hua Chang didn't put up any shelves, and kept chatting with the owner of Feng Zhai along the way, not only clarifying the situation in the village, but also adjusting the minds of everyone in the village.
After entering the main hall, Hua Chang read out the imperial court's decree on the incorporation, and Feng Zhai and Feng Pei led several brothers in the hall to kneel three times and bow nine times.
After the ceremony, Hua Chang said some words and encouraged everyone, and finally everyone became excited, looking at him with bright eyes.
Chu Shuhuang couldn't help but admire it when he looked at it, he only knew that this person was arrogant and had good martial arts, but he never thought that this person was so neat in his mouth, and a few words made the mountain bandits fall to the ground.
Hua Chang may have felt her eager gaze, and when the owner of the village invited him to speak outside to the brothers in the square, he turned to look at her without a look.
Chu Shuhuang couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth with honor, and followed Hua Chang's side.
In fact, Hua Chang had already told Feng Pei about the arrangement of the brothers on the mountain. Because of the use of the previous spies, the credit is gone. But if he is willing to follow him to make contributions, he can take them to the capital, as long as they have a loyal heart, real skills, and opportunities.
If they don't want to go, it doesn't matter, they will be arranged to be registered in the local household registration of Lezhou and become ordinary people in Chu State.
Hua Chang preached the decrees and arrangements of the imperial court to everyone in the square again, and the little brothers in the square were also boiling and discussing happily.
There was still a period of time before the banquet, Feng Pei personally sent Hua Chang and the others to the backyard of the lobby, and vacated some of the nearby houses for the people brought by Hua Chang.
Coming out of the back door of the main hall is a long courtyard flanked by two rows of small bungalows, where the lower people lived. There is a hanging flower door in the middle, just like the second door of a large family, and it is the main courtyard of the backyard when you enter it.
The so-called main courtyard is just a few large rooms, with a few ear rooms on both sides.
After Feng Pei arrived here, he stopped, politely said that the conditions on the mountain were poor, and he retreated after asking for forgiveness.
Chu Shuhuang walked into the house and found that it was not a few big rooms as she imagined, but a large suite.
First of all, it is a small and narrow room, which has a set of relatively new tables and chairs for guests, the material is logs, but the style is a little old, presumably the accumulation of cottages.
Behind the reception room, there were two rooms set together, the furniture was not very complete, and the bed was placed in the back room, but this abrupt feeling made her very uncomfortable.
There is a more important question, as Hua Chang's little maid, she must live in the same courtyard with him, this bedroom, a bed, how can people sleep?
What she saw, Hua Chang naturally saw it, and he gently comforted her: "It definitely can't be compared with home outside, although this house is simpler, it's much better than sleeping in a tent." Moreover, if you are not by my side, I don't worry, tell them to clean up for you, you sleep in the back room at night, and I will keep vigil for you outside, so that I can be steady. ”
Chu Shuhuang doesn't have to be clothed and fed, and her soul is destined that she won't care too much about those forms of etiquette, listening to his words, frowning and looking at it, there is only a round table outside, a few brocade stools, and a few shelves, how can he sleep?
Hua Chang smiled lightly and said, "Let them bring in the table in the room outside, and make a few more quilts." ”
Chu Shuhuang wanted to say something, Hua Chang continued: "Okay, I'll go to the next room to bathe, you can also quickly let them wait for you to freshen up, you don't have to go with me to socialize, I'll let the kitchen bring you food, after use, rest early." The yard is surrounded by our people, and Qianpin will also stay in the yard, so if you have something to do, let him pass the word. ”
After Hua Chang left, Chu Shuhuang took a closer look at the room again.
Feng Pei should have sent the news back early, and even the walls were painted. There is also a small bathroom in the back, which should also be newly made, and Yun Ruoyunlin replaced the bed nets in the house with those he brought, so that if the house is clean, it will not be so uncomfortable.
Chu Shuhuang was indeed a little tired, so he asked people to bring hot water in, soaked for a while before coming out, changed into homely clothes, and after dinner, he watched them clean up the house and make beds for Hua Chang.
After everything was cleaned up, there was no sleep.
She has a big heart, but she doesn't eat and sleep when she arrives in the bandits' den, although she doesn't think there will be any changes, she still feels that Hua Chang is more down-to-earth after she comes back.
Chu Shuhuang sat on the bed while practicing internal skills while listening to the movement in front of him.
It may be that the mountain bandits finally got what they wanted, and the interest was particularly high tonight, and when it was almost time, there was a noisy footstep in the yard, and after a long time, Hua Chang finally entered the house.
Chu Shuhuang got up and walked out of the inner room, only to see that Hua Chang had also changed into a homely soft robe, her hair was slightly wet, and she should have gone to the next room to bathe before coming back.
Hua Chang saw her and asked with concern, "Why haven't you slept yet?" ”
"I want to wait for you to come back." Chu Shuhuang didn't hide what he meant, and said bluntly.
Hua Chang felt the warmth of his whole body again, and his expression became more gentle, "Don't worry, we brought so many people over, and it will be fine." ”
Chu Shuhuang was silent and said, "I know that these mountain bandits will be fine. ”
"Haha......" Hua Chang laughed in a low voice: "I know that Huang'er is the smartest." Okay, let's sleep, and I'll arrange it tomorrow. (To be continued.) )
