Chapter 175: Wood, Wicked Woman

Thinking of Xiangxiang, Qiu Chen was also a little tempted: "You go up the mountain to hunt, and the rest is okay, remember to catch the Xiangzhang if you meet it!" ”

Tang Wenyong tilted his head to look at Qiu Chen, and suddenly said, "Oh, you love to raise fragrant roe deer, and there are three of them in the backyard...... However, the fragrant roe deer is made of musk, and it must be killed and taken, so what's the use of you keeping it like this? ”

Qiu Chen glanced at him unceremoniously, and said lightly: "Who said that you can only kill and take it?" Killing a roe deer to get incense is like killing a chicken to get eggs, you can only take it once. Live incense can be harvested every year, not much stronger than that hammer deal?! ”

A one-shot deal? The corners of Qin Zheng's mouth were hooked, and he lowered his head slightly, hiding the smile on his face.

Tang Wenyong was a little speechless when he was robbed, and pointed at Qiu Chen and shouted, "That's it...... And gentle and submissive! ”

"You don't know enough yourself, I'm kind enough to give you a solution, and I think I'm not gentle and submissive!" Qiu Chen glanced at Tang Wenyong, but his eyes did not miss the smile on Qin Zheng's face, and his heart secretly relaxed...... Looking like this, it doesn't look like you have a mustard in your heart.

Tang Wenyong stiffened his neck for a while before straightening out the qi blocked in his chest, barely holding on to it without being annoyed or angry, and said, "What do you mean by taking incense alive?" But I've never heard of it, and I haven't seen it in the books...... You're not fooling me, are you? Tell me about it, how to take it? ”

Qiu Chen looked at the interest in Tang Wenyong's eyes, but he was not in a hurry: "You said it, I haven't seen it in the books, and I haven't heard of it, of course it's a secret method." Since it is a secret method, how can it be told to you so casually? ”

After speaking, he looked at Tang Wenyong, who was blocked and fell down again, up and down, left and right, and then pouted with some disgust: "Fortunately, the rules of our Yang family, this secret method is not allowed to be passed on." If you really want to know, then you can only do the apprenticeship, and I will pass it on to you in detail! ”

As he spoke, he shook his head as if talking to himself: "Although this qualification is also true...... Alas! ”

Tang Wenyong was blocked this time and almost turned his back in one breath, leaned up his neck straight, stared at him with a flushed face, pointed at Qiu Chen and shouted, "You, you ......"

There was a pop outside the door, and I don't know if it was An Lu or Qin Li who couldn't help but laugh.

Qin Zheng happened to take a sip of tea in his mouth, and was said by Qiu Chen, even if he could be happy and angry again, he couldn't help it this time, poof, a mouthful of tea squirted out, like rain and mist, not a single kang table was spared, and even Tang Wenyong, who was choked and speechless, couldn't escape, and was sprayed with a head and face!

"You, you!" In addition to being stubborn, Tang Wenyong also loves cleanliness. This sip of tea sprayed his head and face, and he couldn't care about competing with Qiu Chen in an instant, and jumped down from the kang all of a sudden, without even putting on his shoes, only shaking full of water traces, and couldn't tell whether it was saliva or tea, his face was angry, and he jumped up again and again with a flushed face.

Although Qin Zheng said that he sprayed tea, he was still choked, and he coughed violently for a while, and his jade white cheeks instantly turned red.

Qin Li and An Lu, who were waiting outside the door, couldn't care less about smiling when they heard such a big movement in the house, and hurriedly lifted the curtain and came in, Qin Li hurriedly took a handkerchief and handed it over, let Qin Zheng wipe his face, and quickly handed over a cup of tea, let him drink it slowly, and then hurriedly moved the entire kang table out.

An Lu hurriedly wiped Tang Wenyong's head and face with a handkerchief, waited for him to hurriedly put on his shoes, and hurriedly went back to the east wing where they lived to wash and change clothes.

The initiator of this hectic mess, Qiu Chen is the most calm and leisurely. Looking at the vacancy, he went out of the house, beckoned Yufeng to go back and get a clean sheet, a small cushion and other things, and beckoned Qingxing to move the 'dirty' kang table and go to the West Chamber to move a clean one. She herself sat on the couch in the west room, and only waited for Qin Li to wait for Qin Zheng to wash and change clothes in the inner room before going in.

After two teas, the curtain was raised, and Qin Zheng, who was dressed in a sunny day, came out of the house first.

Yufeng had already taken the sheets, cushions and the like and turned them back, Qingxing also came back with the kang table, and they all stood next to Qiu Chen and waited, seeing Qin Zheng come out, Qiu Chen nodded, and Yufeng and Qingxing each took things into the back room.

Qiu Chen got up and let Qin Zheng sit across from the Arhat bed in the western room. Qin Li also cleaned up the dirt in the inner room, and hurriedly made a pot of tea and sent it over.

Qiu Chen smiled at Qin Zheng, who was still holding a cup of sugar and salt water to drink, and said to Qin Li: "I'm tired of Brother Qin Li to send a message to the Daxing family, and ask her to put fresh fruits on a plate and send them over." There is also soup stewed in the kitchen, and if it is good, it is time to bring a bowl to your general. ”

Qin Li glanced at Qin Zheng, and when he saw that he lowered his eyes almost invisibly, he immediately responded respectfully, and withdrew a few steps to find the message of the Daxing family.

For a while, only Qiu Chen and Qin Zheng were left in the room, Qiu Chen got up solemnly, solemnly blessed Qin Zheng, and said, "Today's matter, General Domeng has maintained!" ”

Qin Zheng subconsciously stretched out his hand, but paused halfway through, and said weakly: "It doesn't have to be like this!" ”

Qiu Chen got up in response with kindness, sat opposite Qin Zheng again, and said with a smile: "The general went out to Beijing to heal his injuries this time, and he didn't want anyone to know his whereabouts, because I didn't handle things well, which made the general embarrassed. ”

Qin Zheng faintly looked at the woman opposite with a clean and indifferent smile, shook his head slightly, and said: "Although it is simple and unassuming, it is just to cover the ears and eyes of those unintentional people, or delay it for a while, it is really intentional, where can this whereabouts really be completely hidden." I've been here for more than a month, and I'm afraid that everything I should know knows, and it doesn't make much difference whether I hide it or not, so you don't have to care too much. ”

Qiu Chen's heart moved slightly, nodded with a smile, and changed the topic according to Qin Zheng's meaning.

"Speaking of hunting, the general's injuries are not even able to use arrows!"

This topic obviously made Qin Zheng relax a lot, looking at Qiu Chen and smiling slightly: "There are many ways to hunt, and you don't have to use a bow and arrow......

This is also said that modern people have rarely used bows and arrows, and hunting rifles have been controlled again, and those old hunters who grew up in the mountains do not hunt the same? Even hunting large carnivores is not a difficult task.

Qiu Chen nodded: "If you use a one-handed crossbow, it's appropriate!" ”

A glimmer of light flashed in Qin Zheng's eyes, and he looked at the woman with a calm face opposite him with great interest.

She can argue and make medicines, and knows many unknown prescriptions...... created such an unbelievable and lethal 'firecracker'...... I just said what kind of 'live incense' of the fragrant roe deer...... Hearing this, I actually know a lot about weapons...... Hmm, one-handed crossbow...... In the army there were crossbows for siege, bed crossbows for defending cities, and horsemen's crossbows for cavalry...... But I have never heard of the name 'one-handed crossbow', one-handed, as the name suggests, should be a bow and crossbow that only needs to be operated with one hand, perhaps similar to a rider's crossbow...... No, the rider's crossbow is only firing without two hands, and it is still necessary to reload the crossbow with both hands......

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Qin Zheng asked as if unintentionally: "One-handed crossbow, is it a bow and crossbow that is loaded with only one hand to fire?" ”

A trace of surprise flashed on Qiu Chen's face, he blinked and looked at Qin Zheng, and said with some puzzlement: "Yes, I forgot to see it in some book, could it be that it is made up in the book, and there is no real thing?" ”

Qin Zheng's eyes flashed with a flash of light, his lips hooked, and he said very gently and patiently: "There is a kind of rider's crossbow in the army, which is used for cavalry equipment. However, it is necessary to load the bolt in advance and fire it with one hand when charging. However, this type of bow is still cumbersome to load and must be two-handed. ”

"Oh, that's ......" Qiu Chen nodded abruptly, lowering her eyes and silently recalling the appearance and structure of the one-handed crossbow she had seen...... However, she didn't care much about these things in her previous life, and she knew that the one-handed crossbow had heard about it from a fanatical military fan brother, and she hadn't seen the real thing yet, but she had just glanced at the construction drawings a few times in a trance...... What does the drawing look like?

She has a good memory, and she can still remember the general appearance of things after a few glances. Oh, except for faces and names. Although she is not as serious as face blindness, as long as she doesn't care about people, she may not be able to remember her face and name several times.

After a moment, Qiu Chen raised his eyes to look at Qin Zheng and said, "I vaguely remember that there is not only a record of a one-handed crossbow in that book, but also a pattern...... If the general is interested, why don't I draw it and see it, and give the general a detailed reference. The best thing about that object is that it can be loaded and fired with just one hand...... Nothing else is of much use. ”

Qin Zheng was slightly surprised, then shook his head helplessly and smiled: "Compared with bows and arrows, crossbow arrows have strong strength and can be fired in bursts, and they have low requirements for the user's archery skills...... The disadvantage is that the range is short and it is inconvenient to reload crossbow arrows...... If it is easy to reload and fire, as you said......"

Qin Zheng's words were not too thorough, but the meaning of his words was also very clear. If the shortcomings of the inconvenient reloading of the bow and crossbow are corrected, the cavalry can be equipped with a bow and crossbow charge, and the enemy can be dealt a round or even several rounds of suppressive blows before the hand-to-hand engagement...... The outcome of the war will definitely be rewritten by the transformation of the little bow and crossbow!

Since Qiu Chen proposed this, he naturally thought of all of them, and he knew them very well. When she said that, she just wanted Qin Zheng to have an attitude. Qin Zheng needs it, and she will draw the drawings!

The western room was originally arranged according to the study, although there are no classics and rare books, the study utensils are still complete.

Qiu Chen used it to draw pictures cheaply at this time, so he got off the Luohan couch directly, took the paper, pen and ink, moved the teacup on the kang table, and spread the paper on the kang table.

Qiu Chen caught a glimpse of Qin Zheng's movements out of the corner of his eye, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then closed his gaze, flipped through the pen holder for a while, picked out a very thin brush and held it in his hand, and returned to the Luohan couch.

Qin Zheng had already polished the ink, and the ink strip was placed on the side of the inkstone in a regular manner, and he was wiping some ink stains on his fingers with a handkerchief.

Qiu Chen dipped his pen in ink and slowly sketched on the paper.

Thanks to the fact that there are countless structural drawings and anatomical drawings to draw in the experimental reports in her previous life, although Qiu Chen is not from an art and drawing major, she is still very confident in sketching a simple structural drawing, which does not require much detail, only a clear general structure, and the proportions are not unbalanced.

The only thing that made her feel inconvenient was the soft feeling of the brush, which was different from the usual pencil, and the drawings she drew were more or less unsatisfactory.

Even so, Qiu Chen's picture was sketched very quickly, first with a few simple lines, outlining the general shape of the one-handed crossbow, followed by the trigger, the loading device, and the crossbow bolt firing groove...... Zuihou spends a small crosshair on the tip of the crossbow, and a complete diagram of the structure of the one-handed crossbow is finished.

After Qin Zheng started Qiu Chen's pen, he first raised his eyebrows slightly, but this picture is decent...... He couldn't help but think of it again, the structure of the wine steaming vessel presented by Lin Xu was also the same delicate and clear outline, the same subtle and detailed, and now it seems that it was all from this woman's hand...... This drawing is different from the craftsman's drawings he has seen before, and the drawings that have been handed down are extremely simple, even if you understand that no matter how skilled the craftsman is, there is no way to make anything just by looking at the drawings, and the drawings drawn by this woman are very detailed and detailed, although it is also a little difficult to make them meticulously according to the drawings, but it is just a subtlety that needs to be actually verified and improved, but it is too much haode than those rough drawings that can hardly even see the shape clearly.

All kinds of things flashed in his mind, and Qin Zheng soon didn't care about anything else, and the drawings drawn by the woman's subordinates became more and more detailed and clear...... While it was still roughly similar to the bow he was familiar with, there were a few details that were quite different, especially the heuristic device and reloading structure...... It was also the first time he had seen ...... He involuntarily walked closer, almost clinging to the woman's back, his eyes closely following the tip of the slender brush held between his white fingers, his eyes full of amazement and surprise, looking at the lines that he could not have imagined, and could not have thought of a more intelligent bow and crossbow device!

Such an excitation device, such a convenient filling structure...... One-handed crossbow! Although it was just an outline drawing, he didn't even know the internal structure, and he hadn't seen it, Qin Zheng had completely determined that such an early enough bow and crossbow could definitely be loaded with one hand and excited with one hand...... And what amazed him was that he was far more than that, this drawing clearly outlined the loading structure, corresponding to the crossbow arrow pattern attached to it, this is definitely a bow and crossbow that can be fired in bursts, and at least twelve crossbow bolts - bursts!

Twelve crossbow arrows are fired in bursts, even if the launch time of the bow and crossbow is much shorter than that of the bow and arrow, the bow and crossbow he was familiar with before can only be fired in two bursts at most in one breath; If this twelve-round crossbow bolt is really made, Qin Zheng has a very strong intuition, he believes that this twelve-shot crossbow can shoot all the twelve crossbow bolts within two breaths, at most three breaths.

When the two armies clash, the relative impact begins to meet in close combat, leaving only a few breaths for the forward impact, and if the twelve consecutive crossbow arrows can be equipped with the army's forward hands, twelve crossbow arrows can be fired in a row within three breaths...... What a depressing blow would this be?

He could almost imagine the enemy striker of the opposing side falling down like a wheat...... In such a battle, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be slightly unstable, and the soldiers on that side will be scattered on the spot!

Qiu Chen finished drawing zuihou with one stroke, checked it carefully, and sighed secretly in her heart, she could only draw like this, no matter how detailed and delicate it was, she couldn't draw it. Putting down the pen, Qiu Chen habitually looked up and down, blew on the ink that had not dried, and then straightened up......

"Ouch......"

"Hmm......"

With a cry of pain and a muffled snort, Qiu Chen covered the top of his head, and Qin Zheng covered his chin and quickly separated.

Rubbing the top of his aching head, Qiu Chen turned his head and saw Qin Zheng covering his chin and wrinkling his face...... She quickly remembered the bun on top of her head and the hairpin on the bun...... All of a sudden, she felt less pain on the top of her head!

I guess this one hurts more than her!

The annoyance in Qiu Chen's eyes dissipated, and a smile gradually appeared from the bottom of his eyes, staring at Qin Zheng, but his face straightened and said, "Did the general see that something was wrong...... Please also correct the general! ”

After speaking, the smile in his eyes could not be concealed, and the corners of his eyes and mouth were uncontrollably curved.

Qin Zheng rubbed his chin, not so much in pain, but more embarrassed and flustered. He was at a loss and didn't know how to explain his overstepping move, but the woman who was also hurt laughed and relieved him......

Thinking so in my heart, I saw that the woman was smiling like a flower, and there was a slight banter in her smile, but she did not change the clarity and calmness of her eyes, without the slightest twist and softness...... Just like the flowers in the sun, although there is no artificially carved delicacy, there is no delicate and gorgeous greenhouse flowers, but they bloom arbitrarily and vigorously, not hoping to attract attention, but enough to amaze and linger.

Such calmness, such sincerity and simplicity, without any pretentiousness, without any deliberateness...... Isn't it what he diligently pursues?

That smile is bright enough to make the sun shine, enough to dazzle people's eyes!

Qin Zheng's hand covering his chin forgot to put it down, and he was stunned when he looked at the woman's smile like this......

Such a bright, straightforward and calm gaze...... Qiu Chen was slightly stunned, and then his heart skipped half a beat uncontrollably, and then as if to compensate for the beating just now, he beat wildly.

She could almost hear her heart pounding and pounding against her chest, as if it would pop out of her chest in the next moment!

Subconsciously retracting his gaze and turning his head, Qiu Chen took a few deep breaths, gradually suppressing the throbbing of his heart. After a few breaths, the heartbeat eased slightly, and the look of surprise and panic on Qiu Chen's face also disappeared, only then did he adjust his expression, turned his head, tilted his head slightly, and hesitated a little, but he did not look at Qin Zheng timidly.

"General Qin...... Is it that my drawing doesn't look like it? ”

Qin Zheng suddenly woke up from his stunned stupor, trying to suppress the panic and embarrassment in his heart, but he didn't dare to meet the woman's clear and calm gaze, shook his head and said, "No, no, you drew very well...... I've never seen anything like this......"

Somewhat flustered and eager to express his attitude and opinions, Qin Zheng felt that the panic and embarrassment at that moment had dissipated a little, so he simply stepped forward, stood still beside the kang table, pointed to the drawing, and said, "Here, this excitation setting, and this part of loading crossbow arrows...... I've never seen it before, and if I'm right, these are much better than the best crossbows in the army today......"

Qiu Chen's gaze clearly saw that a flush on Qin Zheng's cheeks was gradually dyed, and even the tips of his ears and the neck behind his ears were covered with a layer of color.

She couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart...... With that kind of gaze just now, she has lived for so many years, not that she doesn't understand, but she doesn't have any special feelings.

The great general...... Oh no, it's Hou Ye now. Although this Hou Ye is already very familiar with commanding operations and officialdom strategy, and can even be called adept, it is obvious that he is still very immature and pure in the affairs of men and women! It's just that after a few more glances at the woman, she was so helpless that she was incoherent, and she would blush......

How many years has she not seen a man who blushes in modern times?

Not to mention her non-human brothers, even the little brothers who are a few years younger than them, nearly ten years younger, when it comes to women and men, they can also talk calmly, all of them are masters who have been in the affairs of men and women for a long time, where else would anyone blush because of a glance at a woman?!

Such a person, in modern times, is more cherished than a giant panda, and it is a national treasure among national treasures!

Qin Zheng earnestly pointed to the drawings and discussed with Qiu Chen the various configurations of the one-handed crossbow, and Qiu Chen also let out a 'oh', 'oh', 'oh' and 'this way' from time to time...... Qin Zheng seemed to be greatly encouraged, and explained his ideas in detail little by little, including the various detailed configurations of the one-handed crossbow, as well as the effect of the one-handed crossbow after use, and even the attack effect of the battlefield, he couldn't help but describe it to Qiu Chen, speaking of zuihou, the embarrassment and panic just now were long gone, and only one soldier was left with joy and excitement carved into his bones against a new weapon, and even, for the first time, he laughed out loud.

“…… Haha, just equip my forward cavalry with a thousand, no, not a thousand, only five hundred! With just 500 of these crossbows, enemies under 100,000 will be defeated in a battle! ”

As he spoke, Qin Zheng turned his head and looked at Qiu Chen with bright eyes: "The most important thing is that with this kind of crossbow, our soldiers can attack from a distance to the greatest extent and reduce close combat, thereby minimizing our soldiers and reducing the casualties of our army!" ”

From the fact that Qin Zheng personally came forward to find healing medicine, Qiu Chen knew that this general couldn't help but be wise and brave in battle, and besides, he was a general who really loved his soldiers.

One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, and countless wars in history will be tragic, all of them will be bloody, and corpses will be everywhere...... The deaths of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people have created the glory of one general after another. This seems inevitable in the era of cold weapons.

The battle commanded by Qin Zheng was also unavoidable, but in order to reduce the casualties of his soldiers, he was able to personally come out to seek better healing medicine, and he was able to think that his soldiers' robes would minimize casualties as soon as he got the blueprint of the one-handed crossbow...... This is already very difficult, it is already the era of cold weapon warfare, and a general and a commander can do the most!

These thoughts seem to be a lot in writing, but in Qiu Chen's heart, it is just a momentary feeling, this kind of importance and respect for human life makes Qiu Chen can't help but feel closer, and the smile on his face is also sincere.

"What the general said is that it is naturally best to reduce casualties!"

Qin Zheng looked at Qiu Chen, and there was tenderness and relaxation in his eyes that he didn't even notice, it was a feeling that he had never tried to almost completely let go of his guard, not even in front of Qin Li, Qin Yi, Tang Wenyong, and Hong Zhanpeng.

Looking at each other and smiling knowingly, Qin Zheng smiled: "If this crossbow can be made, you will be indispensable!" ”

Qiu Chen also smiled brightly: "I don't dare to take this seriously, I don't understand this at all, but I can't make it by drawing a scoop according to the gourd...... I didn't do much, but I didn't dare to be greedy! ”

Qin Zheng naturally smiled and said, "I really don't know, where do you know so many new things!" ”

Qin Zheng had no intention of speaking, Qiu Chen listened, the smile on his face froze instantly, his heart jumped, he could hardly control his loss of state, he hurriedly smoothed his eyes, tried hard to soothe his throbbing heart, adjusted his expression, raised his eyes and looked at Qin Zheng again, and said with a faint smile: "General Qin's question, in fact, I myself am confused......"

Qin Zheng only felt the exclamation just now, he really didn't expect Qiu Chen to talk about this topic so solemnly.

Looking at the woman with a solemn face and a little nervous, Qin Zheng completely withdrew his attention from the crossbow drawing, and sat down opposite Qiu Chen silently, quietly looking at Qiu Chen, and listening to her slowly narrate.

“…… General Qin also knew that the bad news of my late husband came, and I once had a serious illness. ”

Qin Zheng nodded, indicating that he did know about it.

Lin Niangzi and her husband and wife have a deep affection, after her husband was conscripted at the border, she has been living in a simple house, managing family affairs, doing needlework to make a living, after that, Lin Niangzi's husband Lin Sheng's death news came back, Lin Niangzi sold her property for Lin Sheng to set up a clothed mound, and on the day the mound was erected, Lin Niangzi was ill and almost died. The disease lasted for more than half a month before it got better. After getting well, Lin Niangzi changed her previous deep and simple life, took her uncle and two children, began to collect medicine and make medicines, and then took out the formula of healing medicine, steamed out alcohol, took out the lethal 'firecrackers', and all kinds of drug formulas, fresh things...... Any one of them is enough to make people look at it amazingly, and she, a mountain village woman who was no different from those village women before, actually took out more than one!

These are enough to surprise people, almost everything that has become a legend is not hidden, not only people who know Lin Niangzi know, many people who don't know Lin Niangzi, but just heard that the Lin family is rising rapidly, and it is a god by word of mouth.

It's just that Qin Zheng didn't care about those mythical statements. He also wondered about the changes in Lin Niangzi, but he didn't suspect anything, he had seen many people after life and death, and it was not uncommon for personality to change drastically, relatively, he thought that Lin Niangzi's personality changes were not obvious, and those amazing and eye-popping prescriptions, soap-making prescriptions, etc., maybe it was really as she said, but she met an old beggar who accidentally learned, and some other strange things, she also said that she loves to read idle books, and it may not be possible to see it from some ancient book fragments.

Qiu Chen silently lowered his eyes, held the teacup that had already been cold, looked at the dark tea, and said calmly: "When I was a child, I did save an old man passing by, and that old man also taught me some ways to read and make medicines, and I also learned from that old man how to read and write...... Later, when the old man was gone, I threw aside all the things I had learned, which had been useless. My family and people around me said that girls should be gentle and submissive, have a good hand in needlework, and be able to do the work on the stove, so I worked hard to learn needlework and embroidery, and followed my mother to learn how to use the stove...... Later, I married into the Lin family, and my ancestor had to worry about everything, and I never thought that those things that were useful for collecting medicines and recognizing medicines...... Until, when the bad news of my late husband came, after I fell seriously ill, I was very confused for more than ten days, as if I had gone to a lot of strange places and seen many things that I had never seen before...... It's confusing, as if I've done many things with my own hands and seen them with my own eyes...... When I woke up again, I saw that the house was surrounded by walls, and there were only a few pieces of potato given by my neighbors...... The children are so young, Aman is just over a year old, and he can't walk steadily, but he can't even eat a mouthful of white flour steamed buns...... I thought about earning money as soon as possible to buy food and noodles so that the children would not starve to death...... Uncle was going up the mountain to chop wood, I took my two children with me, and unexpectedly found a piece of Poria cocos and some schisandra on the mountain, and I suddenly remembered that I had been shelving for many years...... In the future, General Qin will also know about it, this ......"

Qiu Chen pointed to the crossbow drawings on the table, and said, "And that firecracker, they were all the ones I saw in a daze when I was sick......

Speaking of this, Qiu Chen paused and looked at Qin Zheng with a bitter smile: "I have never dared to say these things, even my father and mother...... I also know these weird things, and I don't know what is going on myself...... I couldn't figure it out, so I comforted myself, maybe I really died once, and I saw something that normal people can't see...... I also knew that taking out these things would make people suspicious, so I pushed them all on the old beggars and miscellaneous books......"

The woman opposite was obviously not close to him, but Qin Zheng listened to her somewhat chaotic narration, and heard him say that he was seriously ill and left his soul, and experienced all kinds of unbelievable ...... For a moment, he almost felt her far away from him, as if it were out of reach; It seems that she may go with the wind at any time and never find her again!

To her zuihou asked him with a wry smile: "...... Even his father and mother didn't dare to say it...... "That kind of sadness, that kind of helplessness, suddenly grabbed his heart."

He really wanted to reach out and take her into his arms, comforted her gently, and used his arms and body to hold up a world for her without fear or fear!

He clenched his fists tightly, and he reminded himself with the tingling pain in his palms and the tense body that he wasn't who she was now, and he couldn't yet!

The woman only told him these things, but to dispel each other's doubts and be honest with each other. Or rather, it is a reward for his maintenance today.

He saw her little thoughts clearly, she knew how to advance and retreat, and knew the overall situation, but after all, she hadn't really experienced all kinds of wisdom and strategy, and that little bit of almost natural choice was really good, but it couldn't escape his eyes.

It is precisely because he can see clearly that he also knows how strong and respectable this woman is. If she didn't really accept it, if he made any contemptuous moves, he would probably lose not only the opportunity to really protect her in his arms, but even the only trust he had would no longer exist.

Trying hard to suppress the throbbing and longing in his heart, Qin Zheng wanted to put his face soft and warm, but he didn't know that the stiffness of his muscles once again made him turn into a cold and hard expression: "This matter, stop here, don't mention it to anyone again!" ”

Qiu Chen looked at Qin Zheng with some surprise, and through his cold expression, he was ...... Tell me with concern, right?

After Qin Zheng finished speaking, he also found the coldness of his voice and expression, and the strong throbbing and longing in his heart calmed down a little, and his expression softened a lot: "...... Well, it doesn't matter if it's a beggar or an idle book...... Well, in the future, pay attention to collect more old books and ancient books and put them at home, and also prevent things from happening in your heart......"

"Uh-huh," Qiu Chen nodded in response. She already loves to read, so she has more books in her home so that her children can expand their reading horizons...... Of course, you can also prevent someone from tracking down the truth of her words......

Qin Zheng frowned slightly, waved his hand again, and said, "Ancient books are not easy to obtain, I will pay attention to this for you...... Needless to say! In addition, you have a lot of workshops now, so don't open new ones for the time being......"

Qiu Chen was slightly dumbfounded: "I'm thinking about going to Fucheng to build a soap-making workshop in the future...... Today's workshops produce too little and are inconvenient to transport, and the soaps produced are far from enough to sell. ”

Qin Zheng turned his gaze back and focused on Qiu Chen's face, and gradually, just when Qiu Chen suspected that he had something on his face, and subconsciously raised his hand to wipe it, a smile gradually overflowed from Qin Zheng's eyebrows, and this smile gradually overflowed, blurring to the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, and to the corners of his mouth and cheeks......

It's like a piece of ice, the ice and snow melt in the blink of an eye, and the spring flowers bloom!

Qiu Chen stroked his cheek with his hand, just looked at it, stunned, stunned!

Her stupidity obviously pleased the man opposite, and the smile on Qin Zheng's face was even bigger, and that bright smile was like a hundred flowers blooming in the spring day, and it was brilliant!

Qiu Chen was dazzled by his bright smile, but he quickly woke up and quickly looked away!

I'll it, no wonder this person doesn't laugh, this laugh is a scourge! Woe to the water! What a curse!

Qiu Chen secretly scolded in his heart, turned his head, and felt a little unsightly, and then turned his eyes and secretly looked over...... But he happened to be caught by Qin Zheng, who was already smiling at the other party, and immediately, the smile that had just been raised was once again hung on the corners of his eyebrows, eyes and lips!

His heart was skipping a beat, Qiu Chen turned his gaze away in a panic, and he couldn't help but feel his cheeks burn rapidly.

She took a sharp breath, stood up from the couch, and smiled at Fu Fu, "It's not too early, General Qin has just recovered from his injuries, so don't be too tired, rest early." ”

After speaking, bending his knees slightly again, Qiu Chen took a step back, and then turned away with a smile.

Straighten your back, tilt your head slightly, try your best to keep yourself calm in your gait and posture, slowly retreat, slowly turn around, and slowly walk towards the fan......

She wanted to be calmer and not let the man see the joke!

Hmph, it's just a naïve boy who blushes when he sees a woman, what's there to be afraid of! My sister didn't see anything back then, the live-action version...... Ahem, I've watched the live-action version of the video, in reality, I have followed my daughter to appreciate beautiful men, and I will whistle when I see excellent men...... Although, the whistlers are all girlfriends, and she also generously followed to see it......

Doing psychological construction in a chaotic heart, Qiu Chen stiffened his body without even knowing it, bypassed the fan, and after consciously stepping out of the man's sight, the breath he was carrying was immediately discharged, his shoulders collapsed, and his waist was no longer straight......

"Hehe, what's wrong with you? That log lost its temper with you? An abrupt voice sounded from the side, Qiu Chen, who had just relaxed, jumped back in fright, away from the source of the sound, and after standing still, he realized that this voice was very familiar, obviously someone who had gone to change clothes and had not returned for a long time!

The fright subsided, but the anger rose all at once.

Qiu Chen raised his hand and patted his heart, stared at Tang Wenyong who slowly walked out of the shadow of the fan, silently watched him come to his side, approached her and whispered, "That wood has that stinky temper...... Oh! ”

Qiu Chen raised his foot and stomped on Tang Wenyong's foot heavily, crushing it hard, then he picked his chin at Tang Wenyong, turned around, and walked out of the front yard with a brisk heart.

"Oh, you wicked woman, shrew! …… Alas, a piece of wood, a wicked woman......" Tang Wenyong muttered angrily and was thrown into the cotton door curtain by her, Qiu Chen went out of the house, and Yufeng Qingxing, who was waiting at the door, hurriedly followed, and followed her all the way to the backyard.

Back to the main room in the backyard, still checked the children's schoolwork as usual, laughed for a while, and sent the Yang Shuyong brothers and Junwen brothers back to the room to rest, she took Afu Aman and a pair of children to wash as usual, put them in the warm quilt, leaning on her son, while snuggling her daughter, Qiu Chen smiled and told the story to the children, in the chatter, the breathing of the two children gradually became longer and thinner, and the two children fell asleep.

Qiu Chen fumbled for the two children to pull the quilt corners, tucked them tightly, and slowly sat up wrapped in the quilt, leaning on the side of the windowsill and sitting down silently.

At the end of November, the moonlight was unknown, and the light was faint from the thick window paper, and it took her a long time to discern the lead-gray lattice shape of the window paper from the darkness.

In the darkness of the night, everything seemed to fall asleep. The whole shijie seems to be the only one who is awake, just like she is in this era, she is an outlier in this world, many people around her are different from her, she seems to live in a vacuum all the time, what she wants in her heart, the bottom limit of her life and work, no one can understand this shijie, and she doesn't expect them to understand.

At this moment, the solitude in the dark night allows her to completely relax from heart to body, let go of layers of guard, let go of all kinds of thoughts, just sit like this, and feel the silence of the dark night!

I don't know how long she sat there, but there was no trace of time slipping, only her legs were numb to the point of being unconscious.

Qiu Chen shook her senses, slowly stretched her legs, gently kneading and patting, promoting the flow of blood in her legs, the intense pain made her grit her teeth and barely hum......

"Mother! What happened to you? Ah Fu's soft voice sounded, the little soft child rubbed his eyes and sat up from the quilt, in the darkness that almost couldn't see his fingers, he magically determined the location of his mother without hesitation, crawled out of the quilt with his hands and feet, climbed onto Qiu Chen, and asked with concern in his arms.

Qiu Chen felt a pain in his heart, reached out and hugged his son's still somewhat thin body into his arms, pulled the quilt to wrap the mother and son together, covered his son's slightly cool body, and took his son to lie down again, while whispering in a soft voice: "Mother is fine...... My mother dreamed, it's okay, it's okay, go to sleep! ”

As he spoke, he naturally patted his son's back gently and softly coaxed him to sleep.

Maybe it was because he heard his mother's voice was calm and gentle, there was really nothing abnormal, Ah Fu squeezed into Qiu Chen's arms very dependently, his little face leaned on his mother's body, he closed his eyes obediently, and soon fell asleep again.

Qiu Chen waited for a while, wanting to make sure that her son was asleep before putting him back into her bed, but listening to her son's long and even breathing, she herself fell asleep unconsciously.

"Mother...... Aman also wants to sleep with his mother! ”

Qiu Chen was sleeping soundly, and when she heard the sound of Ah Man just waking up and still a little sand sounding in her ears, she opened her eyes in a daze, and saw that Ah Man had already drilled out of her own quilt with her hands and feet, grabbed her quilt and arched in, and then reached out to hug her mother's body and squinted her eyes and pouted, with a look of displeasure.

In the blink of an eye, the dim light in the room told her that it was not yet dawn. However, at this moment, she also completely sobered up. It's time for the kids to get ready to wash up and get dressed for morning exercise!

When he woke up, Qiu Chen saw Ah Fu next to him, who was still leaning on his own with his eyes closed, and Ah Man who was lying on top of him, hugging her like a puppy covering an area...... Tugging at the corners of his mouth, he laughed.

hugged Ah Man for a long time, before coaxing the little girl to laugh again, the mother and son laughed and made a fuss, Qiu Chen took the cotton clothes and cotton pants for the little girl, and then turned around, and saw Ah Fu still leaning on her side, his eyes closed and seemed to be sleeping soundly, but his eyelids trembled terribly.

Qiu Chen smiled and patted Aman's little buttocks, raised his voice to beckon Yufeng and Qingxing into the house, and asked them to take Aman to wash his face and comb his hair, and then he leaned down, hugged Afu and patted him, leaned into his son's ear and whispered: "Fu'er, get up!" ”

"Mother......" Ah Fu opened his eyes, and suddenly saw the smile on his mother's face, and his face turned red.

"Mother......!"

"Okay, my mother knows, my son is close to me!" As he spoke, Qiu Chen smiled and leaned into Ah Fu's ear and whispered, "I won't tell Man'er!" ”

"Mother!" Ah Fu called quietly, stretched out his hand to hug Qiu Chen's body, buried his little face and rubbed on Qiu Chen's body, then obediently got up, put on cotton clothes and pants with the help of Qiu Chen, jumped off the kang with a happy face, put on cotton shoes, and turned to Qiu Chen and said, "Mother, it's still early, you can sleep for a while." My son took my sister out, don't worry! ”

Qiu Chen stared at his son, who looked like a little adult, and a warm touch spread from the bottom of her heart, instantly rushing up from her chest, into her nose, and into her eyes, making her eyes red in an instant!

"Uh-huh!" Qiu Chen agreed again and again, and after a while, he could speak, reached out to hold Ah Fu's little face, kissed it, and said with a smile on his face, "My son has grown up, and he knows that he feels sorry for his mother, and his mother is so happy!" ”

Ah Fu's little boy was praised and blushed, but his two eyes were bright, looking at Qiu Chen, trying to put on a small face, and said with a straight face: "Mother, my son is six years old during the New Year, he is a big child, and when his son is older, he can honor his mother well!" ”

As he spoke, he kissed Qiu Chen awkwardly, turned around and ran into the east ear room.

Qiu Chen looked at the shaking door curtain, covered his mouth, and laughed silently, laughing and laughing, but his cheeks were already cold and wet.

------Off topic------

Phew, today I finally completed the set task, and I can even crawl to sleep with peace of mind......
