When Mrs. Thorn Shi walked up with two saplings of the tree, a pot of water and a shovel, the county commander Li Yinzheng and the officials of Duwei County measured on the cliff head of Yinglong Ridge, not knowing what to do. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When Li Yin saw Cui's coming up, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and brought his subordinates over to meet him.

When he saw the sapling in Cui Ying's hand, he knew her intention, and said with some embarrassment, "Madam, do you want to plant the sapling in the original place?" ”

Mrs. Choi nodded.

Li Yin said, "I'm afraid this won't work, firstly, the villain is trying to build a water scooping cart here, to draw water from under the pool, and secondly, there are rocks here, how can there be a place for them to grow?" ”

But Mrs. Cui stubbornly said, "Why not? I'm going to plant them where they were, and they'll grow! Her tone was soft, not commanding, but not disobedient.

The officials of Duwei County secretly thought that Mrs. Thorn Shi was purely here to play, and it was completely incompatible with the current drought-fighting plan.

They thought about it thoroughly, took a shovel and carried a jar of water, and they also knew that there was no water on the Yinglong Cliff!

Do they think that fighting drought is watering the flower beds in the courtyard of the Thorn Shifu?!

Who knows, Li Yin immediately agreed, "Okay, Madame is right, it turns out that there are two small trees here that grow very well...... However, Madame must let me finish the project first, otherwise people will come and go, and they will not be damaged. ”

Mrs. Thorn Shi rejoiced, "That's fine, but where do I plant them first?" I'm waiting for you to build the waterwheels and then transplant them -- right where they used to grow. ”

Li Yin nodded again and instructed his subordinates, "Go to two helpers." ”

Immediately the two of them ran over, took the shovel, dug a pit a dozen paces down the slope of the cliff, and planted the saplings.

The lady and the maid did not bother others to water, but carefully poured the water in the jar. Then they didn't leave, and the two squatted next to the saplings and waited, as if they didn't want to go back for a while.

Some militiamen brought a lot of wood up from under Yinglong Ridge, and then the carpenters also arrived, and they broke wood and drew ink lines not far from Mrs. Cui and Yahuan, and axes and saws were on the same according to the picture drawn by Li Yin, and Yinglong Ridge was busy.

Cui had been observing Li Yin, and he methodically commanded the people to first chisel the rock on the top of the cliff.

It was not an easy job, with a dozen or so men chiseling the hard stones with sledgehammers. The sun gradually became hot, and some people threw off their shirts and wanted to work shirtless, but they were immediately stopped by Li Yin.

Cui Shi knew that it was himself and Yahuan who affected them, so he said to Li, "Master Li, let's go back," Cui Shi glanced at their saplings, and after a while, the water they poured down had the meaning of drying up, "Let's water it again later." ”

At that time, Li Yinzheng asked people to tie ropes to the stumps of the two small oak trees, and tie the other end to his own waist.

He stopped and said to Cui's, "Madam, isn't it too hard for you to go back to Qianzhou again...... If you let the villain do it for you, you can rest assured. ”

Cui Shi asked him, "Master Li, are you going down the cliff again?" ”

Li Yin said, "Exactly, I want to carve out a position on the cliff wall to support the pillars, others can't do this work, I have gone down, of course I have to go down myself." ”

Yahuan said worriedly, "Master Li, you must be careful!" ”

Li Yin looked at Cui's, although she didn't speak, but she also meant this, and her eyes showed concern.

The lady said, "Lord Li is so busy, how can we distract Lord Li again, let's water the saplings ourselves...... But it is indeed a little farther back to Qianzhou...... It's not appropriate for us to go to the county office...... In this way, Master Li, give us the key to your courtyard, and we will go to your place to rest, and it will be more convenient when we come again." ”

Li untied the key and handed it to her, and then watched them walk down Yinglong Ridge with their help, and then climbed the rope and slowly sank down the cliff.

This is different from the first time he came down, not as if he was rushing to the house, but the scene of the last time can't help but remember. Because of the last experience, Yinglongling will be a place he will never forget.

Li Yin soon reached the first tree, and green shoots had already grown in the sun on the broken trunk, and Cui Ying had blocked it here for a while, and then fell.

He was beside it, and took out the chisel and hammer that he had brought down, and cut it into the steep stone wall.

Cui Shi quickly arrived at the small courtyard with Yahuan and opened the door to enter. Yahuan said, "Great, ma'am, we will come here to rest until the little tree grows!" ”

Madame said angrily, "No wonder Master Li doesn't look down on you, you are always so heartless!" We live here, so where does Master Li live? ”

Yahuan stuck out her tongue, and without waiting for Mrs. Li's instructions, she took the initiative to take out Master Li's futon to dry.

A piece of broken silver the size of a fingernail was dropped on the bedboard, lonely.

Yahuan said, "Lord Li is really hard, and it is only such a small piece to be a county order." She didn't know, or had forgotten where it came from, but Cui Shi knew, and she held the silver in her hand and was stunned for a while.

Yahuan boiled water outside, cooked a simple meal on the stove, and the master and servant sat down to eat. Yahuan said, "Master Li doesn't buy some condiments, madam, you have given me his piece, and I will spend it for Lord Li!" ”

Madame smiled, "I just told you, why did you forget it!" If you become the mistress here, you will spend as much money as you want, and you will ...... Not anymore! Let's spend ours. ”

Yahuan took the money and ran out, and Cui sat alone at the table, she decided to take back the broken silver, perhaps it was this small piece of silver that affected her plans.

After a while, Yahuan came back, carrying a pot of wake up and a small jar of ginger puree. There were also two newly hatched chicks in their clothes, yellow and fluffy, chirping in the ground.

"You're going to make me chicken soup?" Madame asked.

"Where, I think, Lord Li himself is in this courtyard, and when he comes back at night, he always has to make some noise, so that it is more like a home."

Madame nodded, "You've finally got some tricks...... Next time you come, why don't you bring our little white strip and give it to Master Li to take care of. ”

Without resting, they found a small wooden box in the yard, flipped soft grass, put two chickens in it, soaked broken rice, served it to them in a saucer, and put the wooden box in the sun in the yard.

Then he locked the door and carried the jug up to Yinglong Ridge.

Yahuan once said to bring some food to Lord Li, and Mrs. said, "It's not good, there are so many people on the ridge...... Someone will ask. Besides, can they skip meals? ”

When they arrived again, Li Yin had already come up from the cliff, and the people were leaning and lying on the ridge, resting in groups or two, and sure enough, they had already eaten.

Seeing that Mrs. Thorn Shi had come to water again, the people stood up one after another, and those who were shirtless had already put on their clothes. The master and servant watered the saplings and watched their work.

In the morning, a huge wooden frame had been erected on the cliff head, and two straight logs were inserted diagonally into the hole that Li Yin had chiseled on the cliff wall, and two logs were held up on the top, which were firmly nailed into the hewn stone cracks by thick iron drills.

Cui Shi felt that he couldn't stay here, so he said to Li, "I'm back in Qianzhou, I must be optimistic about our tree saplings!" ”

Yahuan said, "Master Li, when you go home at night, keep your ears pricked up and your feet high, don't step on anything." ”

After seeing them leave, his subordinates asked Li County Order, "Lord Li, what do I think of Mrs. Assassin's maid ring taking a fancy to you, don't miss a good opportunity!" Then my lord, you may not be a prefectural magistrate soon. ”

And Li Yin is reminiscing about Cui Ying's sentence, "Our sapling".
