After wiping her body, Jingnu could finally sleep with Zhao Yu in her arms at night, so that she would no longer worry about being accidentally smelled by Zhao Yu.

At this age, the two of them don't have any love, but more just comfort each other.

It stands to reason that this should have been a very warm scene, but the crying and moaning of a woman came from outside the room, and the two of them were a little difficult to sleep.

Zhao Yu and Jingnu both knew that it was a woman from a good family who was taken captive by Yang Tong and his gang to the mountain.

I don't know if it's because I'm afraid, when I heard those movements, Jingnu grabbed Zhao Yu's clothes on one side and buried her head in his chest.

"Don't be afraid." Zhao Yu patted Jingnu's back and comforted softly.

However, he misunderstood.

If it is said that with Jingnu by her side, Zhao Yu will not be confused, then on the contrary, as long as Zhao Yu is by her side, Jingnu will not be afraid.

I saw Jing Nu shaking her head slightly, rubbing her cheek against Zhao Yu's chest, and whispering, "I just think they are pitiful......"

Speaking of this, she stopped abruptly and did not continue, because she also understood that neither she nor Zhao Yu could help those poor women at present.

Inside, there was silence.

After a long time, Zhao Yu's low voice sounded in the house: "When I master this cottage, I will make changes to this when the time comes...... But right now, there's nothing you and I can do. ”

"Hmm."

Jingnu closed her eyes and pillowed Zhao Yu's arm half-leaning in the latter's arms, just like at the beginning, she accidentally saw the Zhou family to the Luyang townsman.

The next day, it was clear that Zhao Yu and Jingnu woke up early.

The life in the room for half a year before, if you want to say that the biggest change for Zhao Yu, it is undoubtedly to sharpen Zhao Yu's will and change Zhao Yu's attitude towards life.

Once upon a time, as long as there was no major event, he, the second son of the township mansion, would definitely not get up if he didn't sleep until three poles in the morning, and at that time, he had to be coaxed by Jingnu to get him up, but now, the sky outside the house was still bright, and Zhao Yu woke up, although it was still early, and he didn't need to get up so early, he also lay on the grass and thought about his next strategy repeatedly.

The reason is that the environment he is in cannot tolerate him to be a little slack.

After a while, it was bright outside the house, and Jing Nu frowned and put on the clothes they had borrowed from her uncle, and asked Zhao Yu, "Are you going to the room?" ”

Zhao Yu thought about it and felt that Yang Tong should not get up so early, so he nodded and agreed to Jingnu.

They called Xu Fen and went to the room together.

At this time, Deng Bai, Deng Song, and Ning Niang had already gotten up, but Zhu Wang was still lying on the kang and sleeping.

Seeing Zhao Yu, Xu Fen, and Jingnu, the happiest person was Ning Niang, who happily threw herself into Xu Fen's arms.

Zhao Yu glanced at the warm scene a few times, turned his head and asked Deng Bai and Deng Song, "What is the arrangement today?" ”

"Who knows."

Deng Bai shrugged and said, "Uncle Leper is still asleep, ...... at this time in the past"

Saying this, he turned his head to Xu Fen.

Xu Fen heard this and asked, "Is there enough firewood?" What about water? ”

Deng Bai and Deng Song scratched their heads, and they didn't know anything.

Seeing this, Xu Fen shook his head and said with a little reproach: "Deng Bai, now that I'm not here with Huzi and Shizuko, you have to take care of the room......

Saying this, Xu Fen went to check the firewood and water tank in the room.

After Xu Fen's inspection, the firewood in the room was quite full, but the water was a little insufficient.

Speaking of water, given that the cottage is built halfway up the mountain, drinking water and water have naturally become a more troublesome thing.

Of course, the water mentioned here is mainly used for cooking rice, meat, and laundry, whether it is the house or the other women in the cottage, they will go to the river at the foot of the mountain to wash it.

In addition, this group of cottages basically does not take much bath on weekdays, so it is barely enough to fill the dozen or so large water tanks outside the house by rainfall, if it is really not enough, then you can only carry the wooden barrel to the bottom of the mountain to carry the water.

It's hard work, much more tiring than chopping wood or something.

But on the other hand, going down the mountain to carry the water is also one of the few opportunities for everyone in the house to take time to play.

"Let's go down the mountain and get water today."

When Xu Fen said this, the brothers Deng Bai and Deng Song cheered and ran to the house to get two pieces of cloth.

What does Nabu do?

Take a bath, of course.

As we approached mid-April, the weather had warmed up a lot, and although the river was still a little cool, it was nothing for a group of young people with strong blood.

After coming to the river at the foot of the mountain, the brothers Deng Bai and Deng Song took off their essence without saying a word, and jumped into the water, seeing Zhao Yu and Jingnu stunned for a moment.

Seeing that Ning Niang was also going to learn from the Deng family brothers, Jing Nu's eyelids jumped, and she hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, and pulled Ning Niang, who was a little reluctant, into the distance: "Ning Niang is obedient, you can't wash with them." ”

Seeing this scene, Deng Bai swam to the shore and said to Zhao Yu with a strange expression: "Shizuko, this guy...... said that Brother Xu couldn't bathe Ning Niang, so he could? ”

From the side, Deng Song smiled at Xu Fen and said, "Brother Xu, you have to be careful, that bad guy from Jingzi, I'm afraid he plans to snatch Ning Niang away from you......"

Xu Fen smiled and disagreed: "You two don't talk nonsense to me, I only regarded Ning Niang as my sister, but ......"

He glanced thoughtfully at the back of Jingnu's departure, and his face showed a little doubt.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu was shocked, for fear that Xu Fen would have any suspicions, so he kicked Xu Fen into the river.

Under the laughter of Deng Bai and Deng Song, Xu Fen fluttered in the water a few times, and finally floated up again, wiped his face and pointed at Zhao Yu and scolded with a smile: "Good boy, take advantage of my unpreparedness ......"

As he spoke, he swam to the shore, grabbed Zhao Yu who was trying to escape, and threw Zhao Yu into the water with Deng Bai.

After a while, the four of them laughed in the water, and Xu Fen forgot about Fang Cai.

played until the quiet girl helped Ning Niang take a bath and put on her clothes in the distance, and Xu Fen and the others went ashore with some unfinished thinking.

Seeing Xu Fen and Zhao Yu complaining to each other about twisting their clothes into the water, Deng Bai and Deng Song laughed deadly, but Xu Fen and Zhao Yu took advantage of their unpreparedness and kicked down the river one by one.

So when Jing Nu brought Ning Niang over, she saw the four boys in the room wringing the water on the clothes on the shore naked, and Jing Nu was so ashamed that she subconsciously reached out and covered Ning Niang's eyes.

After playing, the group carried a wooden bucket full of water up the mountain, back and forth several times, and when a tank of water was filled, Zhao Yu, Xu Fen, Deng Bai, and Deng Song were all so tired that they lay on the ground.

At this time, it was close to noon, and several women in the cottage had already brought their children to help in the room, Zhao Yu estimated that Yang Tong should almost get up at this time, so he said goodbye to Xu Fen and Jingnu, and walked towards Yang Tong's residence alone.

When passing by the residence of Chen Mo's gang, Zhao Yu saw Liu Tu and the others leaning against the wall outside the house, staring at him with unkind expressions.

That Liu Tu spat disdainfully.

Secretly sighing helplessly, Zhao Yu pretended not to see it, and walked straight to Yang Tong's residence.

Approaching Yang Tong's residence, there were not too many bandits under Yang Tong's hands along the way, but in the houses on both sides, there were some women's cries and moans.

In this regard, Zhao Yu could only pretend not to hear.

When he came to Yang Tong's house, two thieves under Yang Tong's hand were sitting outside the house, chatting.

Zhao Yu recognized these two bandits, the tall one who looked very strong was called Niu Heng, and the other one who was slightly shorter was called Guo Da, who was said to be a right-hand man like a figure around Yang Tong.

Zhao Yu stepped forward to say hello.

This Niu Heng and Guo Da also knew Zhao Yu, and knew that the kid in front of them was the new little brother Zhou Hu who defected to them, so his attitude was also kind, and he said with a smile: "Zhou Hu, do you have something to find the boss?" ”

Zhao Yu nodded and said: "Yes, I have something to do with the master of the village, I don't know if the master of the village has woken up?" ”

"I'm awake, but it's ......"

Guo Da chuckled and pouted into the room, with a slight malicious smile on his face: "But I advise you not to disturb the boss at this time, hehehe......"

Zhao Yu glanced at the room in front of him, and only then did he notice that there was also a woman's moaning in the house.

He understood at once.

Just as he was hesitating whether to leave first, Guo Da patted the log he was sitting on and beckoned, "Boy, come and sit here." ”

Of course, Zhao Yu didn't want to give Guo Da face, so he stepped forward and sat down.

At this time, I saw Guo Da putting his arm around Zhao Yu's shoulders and asking, "I heard that you had a stiff relationship with Chen Mo's gang?" ”

Zhao Yu nodded, and before he could speak, he heard Niu Heng, who was sitting opposite, snort heavily: "Chen Mo's gang is getting more and more excessive now, who took them in in the first place?" ”

"Be quiet." Guo Da frowned and persuaded.

"Afraid of what?" Niu Heng's eyes widened, and he said indignantly: "You are afraid of that Chen Mo, I am not afraid!" …… If you hadn't stopped me yesterday, I would have given him some good looks! ”

"You have it." Guo Da pursed his lips and said, "It's like you can beat that Chen Mo." ”

"What if you can't beat it?" Niu Heng scolded: "If you can't beat him, you'll be scared?" Yes? A bunch of eggless ......"

"What did you say?" Guo Da changed color slightly, looking a little unhappy.

At this moment, the door of the house slammed open, and I saw Yang Tong appear in front of the three of them shirtless, wearing only a pair of pants, frowning and scolding: "What are you arguing about?" Early in the morning, I heard you two arguing outside the house......"

"Boss." Guo Da took the lead in standing up and said, "I have something to discuss with you with Niu Heng." ”

"Hmm."

Yang Tong nodded slightly, and immediately, he saw Zhao Yu at a glance, and there was a little surprise in his eyes: "Zhou Hu? Boy, you're in trouble too? ”

At this time, Zhao Yu had already stood up, and when he heard this, he clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Lord Dazhai, I have something to discuss with you." ”

"Come in."

Yang Tong turned around and walked into the house.

Following Yang Tong, Niu Heng, and Guo Da, Zhao Yu also walked into Yang Tong's residence.

When he walked into the house, he saw at a glance that on the stone kang against the wall, two young women were wrapped in quilts and huddled in the corner, their faces were stained with tears in addition to the red afterglow.

Zhao Yu don't look over.

As he said to Jingnu, he can't help these poor women at the moment.
