Chapter 493: I'll grind it and I'll make tea for you
readx;
The decision has been made, and Zhu Qing and his entourage are now just waiting to enter Sichuan as soon as possible. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info But the trip is far more difficult than they imagined, and the further up they go, the more difficult it is for the boat to go. But at this time, the trip was just over halfway, and he walked for two days and three nights in a row before entering the Hunan border, even so, Zhu Qing knew that the speed was not small.
After listening to Ah Jiu's story about Dongying Club, Zhu Qing's heart became more and more urgent, and he felt more and more that Dongying Club might really be related to Dongying!
"The Ming Dynasty has been severely injured and has just recovered, but it is still full of dangers, if the Japanese intervene again at this time, I am afraid it will be really bad." In the dead of night, except for the boatmen and guards on duty, most of the crew had already rested, Zhu Qing couldn't sleep, and walked to the outside deck alone, not without a sigh.
"Japanese?" Inadvertently, Heisha appeared behind Zhu Qing, Heisha is a night walker with little sleep, he appeared at this time, Zhu Qing didn't feel strange at all. But he appeared quietly, so that Zhu Qing was stunned for a moment, even if he acted at night on weekdays, he rarely appeared in front of Zhu Qing, or rather, he must rarely let people find him, because he likes to be alone.
But tonight, he took the initiative to come to Zhu Qing, which was a bit abnormal.
However, Zhu Qing quickly replied lightly, "I'm talking about the Japanese Invaders, and the Japanese on our side call them Japanese, or, devils." ā
"Devils? Those would-be robbers must have invaded your hometown, and the common people hated them so much. "The black devil thinks very directly, those who can be called devils should be bad people! Bad bad guys!
After Zhu Qing heard this, he was stunned for a moment, although he knew that what he said was not the same impression as what Heisha said, but the essence was almost the same, they were all bad people! Terrible outsiders!
"Sort of." Zhu Qing didn't intend to explain too much, because people in this era couldn't imagine how it was possible to invade a huge empire in a small land? The Ming Empire, which once came to the dynasty of all countries!
"By the way, you're not here to discuss this with me, are you?" Zhu Qing smiled faintly and asked.
"Of course not." Hei Sha replied, "You used Xuanfeng today?" ā
Zhu Qing nodded.
"Why? Xuanfeng is the carrier pigeon that you have with Xuanwu, is it really that serious? The Black Sage asked rhetorically.
"If it's really as Ah Jiu said, I'm afraid it will be even more serious. Xuanwu had gone south a few days earlier, and he should have gone south faster than we did, and the higher we went, the slower the journey became, and I was afraid that he would enter the river before us. Zhu Qing explained that this was not a special secret, and at this time, in the dead of night, Zhu Qing felt that Hei Sha had reason to know some of his thoughts.
After hearing this, Hei Sha nodded, "If Xuanwu doesn't understand the situation of the Dongying Society, it is likely that he will suffer." ā
"That's right. So we can't make unnecessary sacrifices, Xuanfeng is the most reliable information exchange between me and him, and only it can find Xuanwu as quickly as possible. Zhu Qing said.
"If we can meet in Luzhou, we will be more sure of our actions." Heisha once pursued Wu Sangui to the border of Sichuan, and had a general understanding of the local situation.
"Wait." Zhu Qing suddenly remembered something at this moment and paused.
He suddenly returned to the kitchen, took some charcoal, and just wanted to walk out of the deck again, but was suddenly stopped by a hand, Zhu Qing looked sideways, it was Zheng Chenggong.
"Are you awake?" Zhu Qing smiled faintly.
"I didn't sleep at all." Zheng Chenggong also responded lightly.
Zhu Qing looked at Zheng Chenggong's expression and knew what he was thinking.
"Brother Zheng, you listen to my explanation, I don't want to hide it from you......" Zhu Qing just wanted to explain, but was stopped by Zheng Chenggong.
"I don't need to explain, I can understand the rules of your brocade guards." Zheng Chenggong suddenly smiled on his face and patted Zhu Qing on the shoulder, he knew that Zhu Qing, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, was responsible for the mission of the factory guard, and even related to the safety of the Ming Dynasty, it was necessary to be cautious, not to mention that Zhu Qing was so frank with each other, if Zheng Chenggong was so careful, he must not be a gentleman.
Seeing that Zhu Qing was stunned for a moment, Zheng Chenggong suddenly turned to the side and instructed Zhu Qing, "Brother Zhu, I know that you are talking about things, this charcoal in your hand is to draw a picture, right?" It's windy outside, come into my house. ā
Zhu Qing hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and nodded.
Zheng Chenggong then beckoned to the black demon on the deck and let him in with him.
Helpless, Zhu Qing and Hei Sha had no choice but to walk into Zheng Chenggong's house.
To say that this Zheng Chenggong is a son, it is not bad at all, even if he is fighting outside, this house is not vulgar, swords, chess, calligraphy and painting, quite exquisite to the son's house.
Zhu Qing and Heisha went in to take a look, and they couldn't help but praise twice.
"Someone! Watch the tea grind! Zheng Chenggong entered the room, lifted a teapot on the desk, shook it, and called out.
"You two please sit down first, and I'll ask my men to pour some hot tea." Zheng Chenggong beckoned Zhu Qing and Hei Sha to come down, carrying a teapot and about to go out.
Zhu Qing glanced at the teacup on the desk, smiled faintly, raised his hand to dissuade, "Brother Zhu, as soon as the brothers fall asleep, don't wake them up, don't be so polite." ā
When Zheng Chenggong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, "How do you know that they just fell asleep?" In fact, Zhu Qing guessed quite accurately, the guards beside Zheng Chenggong had indeed just returned to the room to rest.
"Your teacup is still steaming." Hei Sha interjected lightly.
After Zheng Chenggong heard this, he suddenly smiled, "I almost forgot, the one sitting in my room is one of the best masters today, hahaha......"
"Okay, let's not laugh, I just remembered a picture, please ask Brother Zhu to borrow a pen and ink, I'll write it down while my head is sober." Zhu Qing turned to the topic and said to Zheng Chenggong.
Zheng Chenggong didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly took out a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and put it on the desk.
But there was not much ink in this inkstone, and Zhu Qing only dipped a few strokes, and then it dried up a little.
There is no ink to grind, but the guards are not there, it is said that the black sha should help, but the black sha can get a gun with a knife, but the dance text can not hurt the ink, and in this matter, it is undoubtedly a contradictory mixture of self-esteem and inferiority for the black sha, on the one hand, he rarely serves people, on the other hand, it really embarrasses him to let him do what he is not good at, not to mention the business of a scholar, it is even more sensitive.
So when Hei Sha hesitated for a moment and wanted to walk over and touch the ink, Zheng Chenggong suddenly stood up with a smile and took the ink first.
"Come on, my inkstone is always sprinkled with ink, don't stain the clothes of the black brothers." Zheng Chenggong laughed at himself.
Zhu Qing knew what Zheng Chenggong and Hei Sha meant, so he just smiled secretly and continued to draw.
Just when Heisha was standing next to him and was embarrassed, a person suddenly came in from outside the door, it was Chen Yuanyuan.
"I've heard it all, let's do it, grind this work, there's no one better here than me." Chen Yuanyuan said, then took the grinding from Zheng Chenggong's hand and sat next to Zhu Qing to grind.
Zhu Qing looked sideways, and happened to be face to face with Chen Yuanyuan, and when they looked at each other, the two couldn't help but be stunned, under the candlelight, this scene was so familiar.
"That...... I...... I'm going to get a kettle for hot water. Heisha was rescued by Chen Yuanyuan, and as soon as he reacted, he reached out and picked up the teapot on the desk, and was about to go out to fetch water.
Zheng Chenggong saw that Chen Yuanyuan was grinding for Zhu Qing, and it was not easy to disturb him, so he followed, "I'll go to Houcang to get some tea." With that, he followed the black demon out of the hatch.
Out of the door, Hei Sha walked to the kitchen, while Zheng Chenggong walked to the back warehouse, and the two smiled awkwardly and walked one each.
Heisha carried the pot and followed the kitchen to find it, to be honest, cooking and grinding are not a small test for Heisha. This young man who is not afraid of heaven and earth is tiptoeing towards the kitchen at this moment, he is so unfamiliar with the pots and pans inside, no more than the sword in his hand, such as a number of treasures, easy to come by, wind and water.
The black sage was careful to even push open the kitchen door, because this killer was afraid of rats!
Just as he was holding the teapot in one hand and pressing his hand on the handle of the knife with the other, slowly pushing open the kitchen door, a figure suddenly jumped out behind him, "Ah! A woman's cry startled the black, who was already worried about mice, and he turned his head suddenly, and was about to draw his sword to defend himself, but saw a familiar face smiling proudly at him.
Miss Ah Jiu stood in front of her with a candlestick in one hand, looking at herself with a smile.
Heisha originally wanted to blame Ah Jiu, but after seeing her appearance, he couldn't bear to be harsh.
"Hey, you're trying to scare me to death." Hei Sha said with a long sigh of relief.
"I didn't expect the dignified black lord to be afraid of rats, hehe." Ah Jiu quipped.
"That thing is so disgusting, I ...... You...... Aren't you afraid? Hei Sha still had to say with a face, maybe it was just with Ah Jiu that he showed his innocent side and temporarily put down his cold disguise. Heisha said, and his body trembled a little.
Ah Jiu watched Heisha's hand holding the teapot tremble, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, she thought to herself, maybe she shouldn't have played tricks on Heisha, Heisha was really scared, but what made a cold-blooded killer who even killed people so afraid of rats?
In fact, there is a reason why the black demon is afraid of rats, when he and his Eniang were chased and killed by Da Yu'er and Dolgon's Duoduo, they were protected by the palace maid and escaped the catastrophe. When Killing Wind found out about him, it seemed that his Eniang and the palace maid who fled with him had been dead for a long time, and even attracted the rats in the wilderness, and the rats recruited wolves, so to speak, Killing Wind not only rescued the black evil from the wolf's mouth, but also rescued the child from the rodents of the mouse. Now the black sha is not afraid of the wolf, because his heart is replaced by the wolf's heart, but for the mouse, the black evil still can't erase that deep fear.
"Take it!" Ah Jiu looked at the trembling black demon and handed him the candle.
"What?" Hei Xue wondered, although he was afraid, he didn't want to be protected, especially Ah Jiu's girl.
"Take it! You hold the candles, and I'll fetch tea. Do you know what kind of water has been boiled? Hum! Ah Jiu glared at the black man, disgusted.
The black demon was kicked by the girl, and unconsciously took the candlestick in her hand and handed her the teapot.
"Shhh......h Go away for my aunt and grandmother, if you dare to scare my friends, I will arrest you and put you in the pot! Ah Jiu walked into the kitchen with a teapot, of course, it was said to the mice, and when Ah Jiu smashed it like this, there was really some noise in the kitchen, and the mice fled in all directions.
Heisha was sensitive to mice, and he was still a little afraid when he heard this voice, so he had to follow closely behind Ah Jiu, carefully protecting the candle in his hand, for fear that it would be extinguished at this moment.
The two came to the edge of the stove, Ah Jiu reached out and probed the water in the pot, and sighed, "Hey, the water is really cold." ā
"Cold? So how do you make tea? Blacksa asked.
"Fool! Of course, it's hot, don't worry, I'll burn the fire very quickly, just boil a pot of water. Ah Jiu said proudly.
"Oh. I'm afraid that the general and they have been waiting for him for too long, and if it's too cold, he can't remember that thing......" Hei Sha couldn't help muttering, and felt a little too talkative, after all, Ah Jiu didn't know that Zhu Qing was drawing.
Ah Jiu really glanced at him, but he didn't get angry, he was just stunned for a moment and said, "Ouch, don't worry, it's just a cup of tea." You take a picture for me, and I'll fetch firewood. Ah Jiu said, put down the teapot in his hand, and went to the side to pick up a few firewoods.
Hei Sha saw that Ah Jiu's hand was incapacitated, and as soon as his heart moved, he walked over.
"I'll help you." Heisha said quietly.
Ah Jiu looked up at the black man leaning down to help him collect firewood, and couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, and looked at this young man who was called a cold-blooded killer in a daze. After a while, he came back to his senses.
"Oooh...... Thank you......" Ah Jiu said and was about to make a fire, but she suddenly found that the fire fold was not on her body!
She patted her whole body and looked for it for a while, and she couldn't help but be a little anxious.
"What's wrong?" Blacksa asked.
"I ...... I forgot to bring a fire fold. ā
"Fire folds? Isn't it okay to use this? The black said and pointed to the candle.
Ah Jiu suddenly realized and smiled, "Yes, look at me...... I forgot about this hurry, quick, take it! Ah Jiu said, kneading a handful of hay to catch Mars.
The black sage stretched out the candlestick towards Ah Jiu.
Candles danced between the two.
"Be careful." Hei Sha looked at the dry grass that was gradually burning in Ah Jiu's hand and said.
Ah Jiu carefully put the hay under the dry firewood, and the fire slowly ignited in the stove, and white smoke came out.
Blacksevil watched cautiously, this was probably the first time he had been involved in lighting a fire in the kitchen, and he was so curious.
Suddenly, there was a "snap", and a piece of firewood cracked, and the fire that had been picked up exploded immediately.
"Hey! Be careful, it's going to be extinguished! The Black Shar said worriedly.
Ah Jiu didn't have time to answer him, so he hurriedly built up the firewood and blew into the stove.
"Huhuhu......" Ah Jiu kept blowing on the fire, skillfully coping with everything that happened.
But in Heisha's opinion, Ah Jiu's face was flushed, and the roots of his neck were full of veins, he thought that the situation had become critical, and he looked at him and became more and more anxious. But watching Ah Jiu blow to put out the fire, he didn't know how to help.
In a hurry, Heisha also leaned down, "I'll help you!" With that, he followed Ah Jiu to blow air into the stove.
Ah Jiu was on fire and didn't care about it for a while, but he felt that the spark was getting brighter and brighter, and the flames began to run wildly, and the fire gradually rose.
The two of them didn't know how long it had been blowing, and suddenly the fire in the stove "poofed...... and burned.
Ah Jiu stopped at this time, and only then did he realize that the black demon was still blowing hard.
Ah Jiu suddenly looked quietly at this young man who could stir up the rivers and lakes but didn't know how to live and cook, and the waves in his heart surged again.
This cold face has never been so charming under the light of the fire, and Ah Jiu, who is just beginning to fall in love, really wanted to kiss it, but she held down the throbbing of the girl's heart, looked at the black sha quietly, and said quietly, "Hey? All right! The fire is burning, and blowing, fool! ā
After hearing this, Hei Sha suddenly stopped, looked up at Ah Jiu, "I ......" He knew that his clumsy ability to take care of himself made Ah Jiu smile again, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, as if a child had done something wrong and was waiting for his mother's punishment.
However, Ah Jiu didn't really blame him, but looked at his face and couldn't help but smile, "Poof...... Hahaha......"
"You...... What are you laughing at? "The Black Wood Path. He rarely saw others laughing in front of him, and he smiled so happily at him, all he usually saw was the frightened expression of the enemy.
"I'm laughing at you, great! Flower! Cat! Ah Jiu said to the black demon word by word, "Come, help you wipe ......."
As he spoke, he was about to reach out to help him wipe it off, but Hei Sha seemed to remember something, and suddenly pushed Ah Jiu's hand away and stood up, "I'll wipe it myself...... Thank you. As he spoke, he turned and walked to the water tank, scooped up a scoop of water, threw it on his face, and poured another scoop of water on his wet head.
Ah Jiu watched from the sidelines, and suddenly her smile disappeared, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed, distressed for herself, and distressed for the black. She knew that the black demon must have remembered something, or was resisting something, maybe it was herself, so he poured cold water on herself to sober herself.
"I don't mean anything else, don't get me wrong...... Ah Jiu was also born with a princess temper, and after going through the rivers and lakes, she was almost swallowed by hatred, and she was not a master to be messed with, seeing that Heisha refused like this, she couldn't help but keep a trace of self-esteem for herself.
Ah Jiu said, then turned to the stove and kept adding firewood, the fire burned more and more, and after a while, the water in the pot was boiling! Unconsciously lifted the lid of the pot.
"Be careful!" Heisha suddenly rushed over, pulled Ah Jiuyi away, and pulled him away from the stove.
Ah Jiu was taken aback by this sudden situation, and after reacting, he realized that he was actually in the arms of the black devil.
"I ...... Water...... The water is boiling, let's send it to the general. Ah Jiu quickly broke free from Heisha's arms, picked up the teapot, and went to the stove to fetch water.
"Yes, the general should have waited a long time...... "The black demon nodded repeatedly. The two walked out of the kitchen awkwardly and returned to Zheng Chenggong's room.
As he spoke, he was about to reach out to help him wipe it off, but Hei Sha seemed to remember something, and suddenly pushed Ah Jiu's hand away and stood up, "I'll wipe it myself...... Thank you. As he spoke, he turned and walked to the water tank, scooped up a scoop of water, threw it on his face, and poured another scoop of water on his wet head.
Ah Jiu watched from the sidelines, and suddenly her smile disappeared, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed, distressed for herself, and distressed for the black. She knew that the black demon must have remembered something, or was resisting something, maybe it was herself, so he poured cold water on herself to sober herself.
"I don't mean anything else, don't get me wrong...... Ah Jiu was also born with a princess temper, and after going through the rivers and lakes, she was almost swallowed by hatred, and she was not a master to be messed with, seeing that Heisha refused like this, she couldn't help but keep a trace of self-esteem for herself.
