The dust outside the cave rises with the wind, and in the sunlight, it looks like a thin gauzy tent that has been lifted.

Chu Qiao followed the women out of the cave to the small river that was a tea walk away from the mine, followed by four soldiers, who stood at both ends of the women, guarding.

On the way to walk, Chu Qiao found that there was a special shed for hay and a simple kitchen stove pergola nearby.

The women lowered their heads and washed the dishes in the clear river water, and the time passed minute by minute, and the women were almost finished, getting up and preparing to walk back, when suddenly Chu Qiao said, "Master Bing, stay." ”

Everyone looked at Chu Qiao, and the soldier led by him turned around and frowned and asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Chu Qiao said with a worried look: "This big brother soldier, many of our new brothers came yesterday because the cave was too cold at night, and their health was worse than before they came, I would like to ask you and a few big brothers to be kind, let us bring some more hay back and give them a cushion." Their bodies are getting better soon, and this is just as fast as the day of work, do you think it's okay? ”

The soldiers led by him looked at Chu Qiao, Chu Qiao's thin body, his voice was weak and strong, and his voice was low but not dignified. In the second thought, I thought that the ore material has been urging the above recently, and many of the current mining slaves are unbearable, and the work is becoming more and more difficult.

Impatiently, he said: "You slaves are asking for a lot, but recently there are too many ores and materials on it, and the manpower is quite insufficient, okay." Move. Li Hu took them over. ”

The soldier named Li Hu led the women to the shed where the hay was kept, and when the women saw that they could take the hay back, their faces showed excited expressions, but Chu Qiao found that there were two women among them, their faces were slightly calm, and they were not as excited as the others, so he secretly wrote them down.

The women used the bamboo baskets they usually used to deliver vegetables, loaded several frames of hay, and the two carried them to the cave, and after everyone walked back to the cave, the men who went out to work also came back one after another. When the men saw the women carrying a basket of hay, they were also ecstatic and stepped forward to help. At this time, Xu Chang stood up and said loudly: "Brothers, now that we have more people, this hay is also very limited, let's give the hay to the elderly, children and injured people first, and we will take the rest, do you hear?" ”

Yu Wenyue stood up and said, "Let's gather everyone's hay first, and organize a place for everyone to rest, so that we can also use hay in a centralized manner." ”

Everyone who heard the words nodded, and indeed now they are all sleeping in twos and threes, and the hay is all in the west, and some people have not. Then the men began to put together the hay that had been laid on the ground, and piled it aside, and then the women took some hay from the ground, and simply cleaned a corner of the cave, and then spread the hay that was left on the ground next to it, so that all the hay was used up, and there was a new place to sleep.

Xu Chang put his mother on the newly laid hay, and the old man nodded with a smile and said happily: "It's much thicker than before, and it won't be so cold to sleep at night." ”

Hearing the old man's words, everyone's faces showed happy smiles.

Mo'er ran up from the side and shouted, "Mother, you're back." Take me to Daddy. ”

Hearing Mo'er's shout, everyone's eyes once again focused on Chu Qiao's body, Chu Qiao, who was standing in front of Mo'er, had a crimson face, knocked Mo'er's head with his hand, and led him towards Yu Wenyue.

At this time, Yu Wenyue was standing with Xu Chang, Xu Chang heard Mo'er's mother's voice, and turned his head to look at Yu Wenyue, Yu Wenyue's face brushed, and he also showed a touch of redness, and his ears were red to the root of his ears.

Xu Chang quipped: "You kid can be a father before marriage, and you still have a son." Then why haven't you got your wife to agree to marry you?! ”

Yu Wenyue raised her head to the left in embarrassment, glanced around, and sighed helplessly: "My family is not easy to chase, his temperament is a little cold, his temper is a little stubborn and quite stubborn, he has his own ideas, he has to take his time, but I have a way now." ”

Seeing Chu Qiao and Mo'er coming, Yu Wenyue hooked the corners of her mouth, and she was in a very good mood. When the two stood in front of Yu Wenyue and Xu Chang, Xu Chang found an excuse and walked away, not disturbing the 'family of three' to see each other.

Chu Qiao raised his head and stared at Yu Wenyue intently, with a hint in his eyes that you explained to me well, "Mo'er, this uncle in front of you is the father you are looking for." ”

Mo'er frowned and said: "Mother, this is not Daddy, Daddy is much more handsome than him, you look at the knife marks on his face, it's so scary." ”

Yu Wenyue frowned, and said in a cold voice: "Mo'er, you forgot about me as a father so quickly, when you were in the tent, you forgot about me and your mother taking care of you to sleep?" ”

"Yu Wenyue, you make it clear, when did I become Mo'er's mother?" Chu Qiao said indignantly.

"Just as you hugged me and said, never leave me again. Have you forgotten? Yu Wenyue showed sad eyes and looked at Chu Qiao.

Chu Qiao hurriedly defended himself: "I didn't." ”

"When I gave you the star and moon pendant on the street that day, I said that the star and the moon are one, and if I am not there, let it accompany you first, and you forgot what this love token was carrying on you?"

Yu Wenyue's face showed a painful expression, and her words were mixed with grievances and sadness.

Chu Qiao was still in an indignant mood, but seeing Yu Wenyue's sad appearance, he stepped forward to hug him, leaned on his arms, with some nervousness and a hint of shyness on his face, and said glutinously: "I haven't forgotten, but I'm not very adaptable." ”

Mo'er, who was standing on the side, looked up at the mother and father in front of her, as if she understood something, a happy smile appeared on her little face, she made a grimace at Yu Wenyue, quietly left the two, and walked towards Meng Feng.

Yu Wenyue gently hugged Chu Qiao, the painful look on her face just now seemed to have never appeared, and now there was only nervousness on her face, and she said cautiously and softly: "Xing'er, be my wife." ”

Chu Qiao, who was leaning on Yu Wenyue's arms, suddenly dilated his pupils and became sluggish, as if only this sentence echoed repeatedly in his mind: "Xing'er, be my wife." ”

Yu Wenyue waited quietly for the person in his arms, he wanted to give him enough time to react to this matter.

The other people in the cave first watched the two of them talk to each other, then hugged each other affectionately, and finally confessed with courage, that there were five or six-year-old children, who felt how difficult it was for this pair of lovers to be together, and they all wanted to go up and comfort them together, but the emotional matter was the two of them, and it was better to think it out by themselves.

Chu Qiao's head was still dizzy, and he heard Yu Wenyue's voice sound again: "Xing'er, I've been waiting for half my life, and I finally waited for you, I want to stay with you for the rest of my life." ”

Chu Qiao didn't know how he nodded, but he just felt that he didn't want to live up to the man in front of him who had paid too much for him and owed him too much.

Outside the cave, the sound of a gong suddenly sounded, Xu Chang coughed lightly twice, and said, "Let's go, let's work!" It's work! ”

The two let go of each other, and Yu Wenyue whispered, "Xing'er, wait for your husband to come back." He turned around and walked away quickly, leaving Chu Qiao standing in place stupidly.

Mo'er walked over with her little short legs, took Chu Qiao's hand and said, "Mother, Daddy is gone!" It's time for us to prepare the ingredients for tonight's dinner. ”

Chu Qiao came back to his senses, his cheeks were flushed, his eyes were shining with a gentle luster at this moment, and he pulled Mo'er and walked to the cave where the food was stored, and began to choose the ingredients.

Yu Wenyue, who was walking in the crowd, was in a proud and happy mood at this time, and felt that the steps on her feet had changed a little lighter. It takes a cup of tea to walk from the slave to the mining area, although Yu Wenyue is in a very good mood, but he has not forgotten the business, always paying attention to the situation on the road, and when he arrives at the mining area, he also always pays attention to the surrounding environment, the deployment of soldiers and guards, and the change of shifts.

The afternoon passed like this, and when it was time to have dinner and rest, Xu Chang, Yu Wenyue and everyone returned to the cave together.
