Chapter 80 Touching the heartstrings
From Juancheng to Fanxian, if it is distributed according to the modern city site, the two places are only about 30 kilometers apart, but this is not the case in the Han Dynasty. According to Lu Ren's field survey, the distance between the two urban areas should be about 200 Han li, separated by a tributary of the Yellow River. In other words, Lu Ren led the team from Juancheng to arrive at the predetermined Tuntian location about 100 Han miles.
The road of a hundred Han miles is not too much, and it is not too much to say less. The two thousand and a half Tuntian army walked for two days before reaching the predetermined location. Lu Ren had been to this land many times before, and he was relatively familiar with it, so he immediately ordered the Tuntian army to set up a temporary camp on the land where the town was planned to be built according to the drawings, and at the same time ordered the Tuntian army not to disturb the two old small villages in this area, and if there was a violator, the military stick would wait...... Kill it, Lu Ren is not a person who loves to kill. At dusk, Lu Ren's big tent of the Chinese army had been set up first, and the women had also begun to cook food, so Lu Ren invited Li Dian to his account to discuss the relevant division of labor.
According to the drawings drawn by Lu Ren, Lu Ren asked Li Dian to go and transfer civil craftsmen and corresponding laborers the next day to build corresponding buildings according to different priorities such as granaries, workshops, and machinery warehouses. Because of the high labor intensity of this matter, Lu Ren unceremoniously stretched out his hand to Li Dian's five hundred people, of course, Lu Ren, who was necessary to be vigilant and maintain law and order, did not dare to move. In addition to these, the rest of the people were sent to repair the fields and water conservancy, and the women who were less physically strong were the leaders of the army.
After discussing these serious matters, Wan'er also cooked the meal and sent it to the account, and Lu Ren invited Li Dian to eat at the same table. Li Dian glanced at the dishes brought in by Wan'er and said, "This is ......"
Lu Ren smiled dumbly. Because of the two days of hurrying, everyone was eating dry food, so it was not until today that Wan'er could get some delicious food. The so-called delicious is actually just a salted fish and plum dried pot, mainly salted fish and plum dried mince Zhu sent a lot, the production materials are sufficient, and it is more convenient to make.
"Come on, come on, Mancheng, you can also try my Wan'er's cooking skills."
However, this sour, salty and delicious claypot rice appeared in Li Dian's face, and Li Dian also said with his index finger. After all, he was just gnawing dry food for the first two days, and Li Dian's mouth also faded out of the bird.
A few chopsticks of food entered the mouth, although Li Dian was not as exaggerated as Guo Jia, but he was also full of praise. Lu Ren turned his head and smiled at Wan'er, and pulled Wan'er to sit down beside him. It's just that this makes Li Dian frown slightly, after all, Wan'er is only dressed as a maid now, and Lu Ren's current behavior is too ...... for Li Dian A little profligate.
Lu Ren saw Li Dian's thoughts, and said with a slight smile: "Man Cheng, I never care about these trivial details, and I have never treated Wan'er as a maid. ”
Li Dian could only smile and shake his head, and said in his heart that it was your Lu Ren's family matter, even if you Lu Ren accepted a maid to enter the room, what did it matter to him? And this kind of thing was quite common in ancient times. It's just that Lu Ren and Li Dian didn't notice that Wan'er on the side looked a little strange when she lowered her head.
The light meal was quickly finished, and Li Dian said goodbye to Lu Ren and went out of the tent, preparing to return to the tent to rest after patrolling the camp. A little later, Wan'er returned to the tent after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and saw Lu Ren sitting alone in front of the tent door looking at the sky in a daze, as if she was thinking about something. Seeing this, Wan'er hesitated and stepped forward to persuade: "Lord, it is the middle of winter, and the cold is in full swing, please come into the account to rest, and don't invite the wind and cold." ”
Lu Ren responded casually, looked at the "dream glass seal" drawn by him at the center of Wan'er's eyebrows, and then looked at Wan'er's maid's mane, thought about it, and suddenly beckoned to Wan'er with a smile and said, "Come, sit down in front of me." With your back to me. ”
Wan'er didn't understand what she meant, but she still knelt down in front of Lu Ren according to her words. Lu Ren took a closer look at Wan'er's slightly withered yellow hair by the light of the fire, and asked softly, "I asked you to wash up when you set up camp today, have you washed your hair?" ”
"Washed."
Lu Ren's hand stretched out across Wan'er's shoulder: "Your wooden comb is on your body, right?" Give me. ”
Wan'er was startled: "Lord, Lord, Lord......"
"Don't be afraid, give it to me."
Wan'er hesitated for a while before taking out the wooden comb in her arms and handing it to Lu Ren. After Lu Ren took it, he untied Wan'er's hair and gently helped Wan'er comb her hair. Combing and combing, Lu Ren made a difficulty, and said in his heart: "How did you tie the two braids on Liu Mengli's forehead?" I won't...... Forget it, comb it all back and try to coil it up, and then throw a side point in front of it to stay in the sea......"
As a result of not learning hairdressing skills, Lu Ren worked blindly for a long time, and Wan'er's scalp was pulled to the point of stinging pain and did not dare to make a sound. Finally, Lu Ren finally combed Wan'er with a good hairstyle, but unfortunately there was no hairpin. However, Lu Ren had an idea, took out three bamboo chopsticks, inserted them into the bristles coiled up at the back of Wan'er's head at what he thought was a good angle, and finally looked at the current Wan'er carefully.
Not to mention, this is not ancient, fashionable and unfashionable hairstyle, but it is quite gentle...... At least that's what Lu Ren himself thinks. After drying for a while, Lu Ren was quite complacent, and said to Wan'er with a smile: "There is a bronze mirror in the tent, you go and take a picture and remember it." This is because I am not good at craftsmanship, and I haven't completely combed it yet, so you will have to comb your own hairstyle in the future...... Did it hurt you? At this time, I realized that there were faint tears in the corners of Wan'er's eyes.
Wan'er took a look at herself according to her words, and she almost didn't know herself anymore. It's just that although this hairstyle is beautiful and feels very suitable for Wan'er, Wan'er is a little worried. When she turned around, Wan'er saw Lu Ren leaning against the tent pillar and smirking at her, and after hesitating for a moment, Wan'er said softly: "Lord, Wan'er must be just a servant girl after all." If I dress up like this, I'm just afraid of ...... It will cause the Lord to be criticized. ”
Lu Ren said: "What are you afraid of? I don't pay attention to these things, and as an official under the account of Cao Gong, as long as I don't violate the law as a traitor, it doesn't matter if I don't act as a traitor and violate the law, it doesn't matter if I don't care about it or let the girls around me dress up better? Anyway, I just want my family to be beautiful and beautiful, what's wrong with that? Who wants to have an ugly monster by their side? ”
Wan'er's head bowed: "Lord......"
Lu Ren took a few steps closer and gently put his hands on Wan'er's shoulders. After being silent for a while, Lu Ren suddenly said softly: "Wan'er, I'm really a little worried that if one day I suddenly disappear, you will be left alone, how will you live." I've been thinking for the past few days that I should leave something for you while I'm still here......"
Wan'er raised her head suddenly, with a look of surprise on her face: "Lord, Lord, are you leaving?" Where are you going? Wherever the Lord goes, it is all, it is ...... All with Wan'er, okay? Or is it ...... Don't you want to be gentle, Lord? ”
Lu Ren scratched his head a few times in embarrassment, this time and space teleportation must not be able to speak to Wan'er. After thinking about it for a while, Lu Ren became sloppy: "I, I'm not leaving." You also know that this is a troubled time when human life is like a mustard, and although I am the ruler of the people today, it is difficult to guarantee that I will not die in the chaos tomorrow. If one day I don't know what to do, you ...... "I haven't thought about it yet."
Wan'er lowered her head again in silence, and whispered in a slightly choked voice: "Although Wan'er hasn't followed the Lord for long, Wan'er can see that the Lord is really good to Wan'er. If there really is such a day...... Wan'er is willing to follow the Lord......"
"Huh-" Lu Ren was startled. The meaning of Wan'er's words couldn't be clearer, that is, if Lu Ren was not there one day, Wan'er might have a martyrdom. At this time, Lu Ren involuntarily took two steps back, and his facial muscles began to cramp: "Wan, Wan'er, don't say such stupid things!" No matter what, you can live well, okay? ”
Wan'er still lowered her head and said softly: "Wan'er has been bullied since she was a child, and no one has ever been as good as the Lord to Wan'er...... What the Lord does to Wan'er, Wan'er knows. Wan'er also knows that her status is humble, and she doesn't dare to ask for anything, she just hopes that in the future, it will be enough to serve the Lord like she does now. If the Lord is not there, Wan'er ......"
Lu Ren scratched his head again, and said in his heart that girls in this era are really good to coax. If the things I have done to Wan'er in the past few months are put on modern girls, especially on those goddesses who are surrounded by spare tires, they will think that you are very annoying, and then the birds will not bird you, and they will not even give you the opportunity to offer their hospitality.
Although he had these thoughts in his heart that he wanted to laugh even if he was unreliable and unreliable, but when he saw Wan'er biting her lip tightly, there were tears on her face, but with a resolute look in her eyes, Lu Ren vaguely felt that Wan'er was really moving. Thinking about it again, the things of these years are not really clear, like Mi Zhenneng resolutely threw herself into the well without involving Zhao Yun and Sun Shangxiang, a woman as strong as Zhao Yun and Sun Shangxiang actually threw herself into the river after hearing that Liu Bei was hanging, and there was someone who was self-disfiguring or self-mutilating in order to refuse her family's request for her to remarry...... Who can guarantee that Wan'er will not commit suicide by then!?
At this thought, Lu Ren also shivered. He originally asked Wan'er to come from Cao Cao, and to put it mildly, he just regarded Wan'er, who was somewhat similar to Shirley, as Shirley's shadow. To put it bluntly, there are some maids who control their thoughts, and Chun Quun just wants to have fun, don't be so lonely around you, and have an eye-catching girl as a companion. But it would make Wan'er take him so seriously, but Lu Ren didn't expect it.
Lu Ren didn't want to hurt anyone, but he didn't want to hurt a girl like Wan'er. But seeing that Wan'er seemed to be about to cry, Lu Ren could only hurry to comfort Wan'er, and finally coaxed Wan'er to go back to the tent to rest first, Lu Ren stood in front of the tent door and looked at the sky in a daze. Because his brain was too chaotic, how long he stood and what he was thinking, Lu Ren couldn't tell himself. Until the moon hangs in the sky......
"The Lord ......"
"Hey, didn't I tell you to go to bed early? Why are you up again? ”
"Wan'er can't sleep...... It's cold and cold, so put this on the Lord. ”
