Chapter 92
The cohesion of the crowd is very strong, and Damai City, which has been baptized by the 500,000 iron cavalry troops of the ghost clan, has not been decadent.
Maijia took the lead in leading the people of the city to engage in revival large-scale production.
After the well-planned reconstruction plan was approved, the people volunteered to work, and the nobles paid for it, pushed it to the old city wall, and changed the layout of all the streets in the old town.
Water conservancy, a moat, the cutting of the best timber from the forest, and the construction of the Royal Palace, which was built to elevate the political sovereignty of the city of Barley.
In the hearts of the noble elders, this time they were so ravaged and trampled by the ghost clan and 500,000 iron horsemen of Dali City.
It is because the elders have never spoken out in front of the surrounding other countries in their political position.
The whole city of Barley began, a drastic construction project.
The story of nine deaths in the Great War, and the clever victory of the turn of the situation, has been narrated by everyone in the city of Barley.
In addition to the labor of the people in the city, there are actors and singers, all of whom are evolving the legendary stories of this war, and many stories have been changed very magically over time.
Where there is demand, there is output, and the civil engineering of Damai City is huge, attracting many outsiders to participate in the construction and make money.
Zhong Liguo was in Peacock City, he was very unwilling, and he was depressed and felt that everyone was his enemy. The loss of his wife Xiaohua was even more of his fatal heartache.
Embarking on a journey to beg for food, Zhong Liguo didn't have any joy and joy, he just wanted to escape from Peacock City, forget the painful past, and hope that his heart would be at peace.
He walked into Damai City, where everyone was in a hurry, and what fell into Zhong Liguo's eyes was full of people working in the city.
The Peacock City is rich and loose, and everyone knows how to enjoy and live a slow-paced lifestyle.
It is in stark contrast to the environment in Damai City, where people are buzzing and lively, and everyone is trying to make money by doing things quickly.
Soon he was infected by the thriving atmosphere in Damai City, getting rid of the past, making a lot of money, this idea successfully occupied, Zhong Liguo's inner world.
Every day, all kinds of materials arrived in Damai City, Zhong Liguo had no other skills, and in order to make quick money, he joined the pile of laborers who carried the burden.
Early in the morning, Zhong Liguo draped a gray canvas on his back and hurried to the city gate, where he and other laborers lined up to unload the wagon.
Pick up a hundred pounds of sacks on your back, carry them to the big warehouse, put down the burden, and the old housekeeper of the warehouse account book will put a brand in Zhong Liguo's canvas bag.
When the night came, Zhong Liguo went to the account room to hand over those brands and settle the wages, he was young and strong, and he earned a hundred taels of silver a day.
With his hard-earned money in his arms, Zhong Liguo always went to eat the best meal first.
Because of the regional characteristics of Damai City, there are always people from various ethnic groups, so there are all kinds of food in the streets and alleys.
Zhong Liguo's greatest hobby is fully satisfied, eating the most special variety of delicacies, and renovating every day.
His mood began to gradually improve. Food heals the heartache, heals the loneliness of his soul, and there is no sense of self-confidence in failure.
In the evening, when he walked out of the account room, Zhong Liguo wanted to eat "Hao Lai Khan Fried Chicken", and he was unconsciously drooling out of his mouth when he thought about it.
On the block, there are many restaurants on both sides of the avenue, almost all of which are full of customers, and Zhong Liguo walked alone to the front of the store of "Hao Lai Khan Fried Chicken".
A spicy fried smell rushed into his nose, and Zhong Liguo's heart was suddenly full of strong appetite.
He walked into the shop, found a suitable place for himself, sat down, there was no guy in the shop, this was a Persian, Mongolian-style mom-and-pop shop.
There are not many seats in the restaurant, but there is a wide bar around the chef's cooking counter, which is both a table and a bar.
The guests are all acquaintances, sitting around the table, watching the chef cook the food by himself, and the proprietress smiles and brings out each piece of food and puts it in front of the guests.
The aroma of frying is overflowing, Zhongliguo's lips move slightly, his teeth are opened, and his taste buds are open.
The proprietress saw him with a greedy look, and she smiled very understandingly, holding a set of utensils in her hand and putting a pot of sake.
Cordially said to Zhong Liguo
"You're here, today there are good chicken legs, and there are chicken racks, but the chicken wings are gone."
While speaking, the proprietress had already placed everything in her hand in front of Zhong Liguo.
Zhong Liguo smiled knowingly
"If you don't remember, I'll just eat chicken thighs, chicken wings and everything else."
The proprietress said gently
"I'll fill you with sake, and there are small cold dishes that have just come out of the jar, do you have the heart to eat it?"
Zhong Liguo nodded, the proprietress turned around and walked away, and after a while, she actively brought out a few dishes and placed them in front of Zhong Liguo.
Zhong Liguo picked up a piece of cucumber, put it in his mouth, and chewed it gently, the familiarity that had been lost for a long time, leisurely ups and downs rippled in his heart, the taste of this cucumber is often at home.
He couldn't help but think of Xiaohua, vinegared cucumber is what Xiaohua is best at, every time he makes a lot, he will always put it more sour if he can't finish eating.
The old mother always likes to take advantage of the fact that the cucumber is sour and reprimands Xiaohua. Every time, Xiaohua was just silent, and there was no resistance with a word.
Suddenly, Zhong Liguo seemed to understand the truth, and realized that in the past few years, Xiaohua has never accepted herself, including her family.
Doing heavy housework at home, serving the chickens, ducks, and cow pens in front of the house is a very difficult labor experience for such a young and immature little flower.
After a few years of getting along day and night, my big man has a heavy heart, and he has not loved Xiaohua much warmly and coldly.
Only later, Xiaohua successfully danced the rainbow dance, and after being a dance oiran, she left herself and didn't look back.
Zhong Liguo silently recalled the past in his heart, raised his head and drank a large sip of sake, began to get drunk, ate the fried chicken thighs, and then poured a glass of sake alone, and drank it in one gulp.
Then the anesthesia of alcohol, Zhong Liguo seemed to see Xiaohua sitting opposite him, and he said happily
"Xiaohua, why are you here, are you coming to me.
I, I know, you don't dislike me, right, you don't dislike me"
A middle-aged woman with heavy makeup and high eyebrows coincidentally sat opposite Zhong Liguo, who shouted Xiaohua's name nonsense.
The woman's curious eyes stared at the drunken Zhong Liguo, smiled slightly at the corners of her mouth, closed her lips and smiled without answering.
Zhong Liguo drank more sake and began to get drunk, crawling on the table unconscious, and fell asleep.
The woman took the initiative to get up, served Zhong Liguo very diligently, cleaned up his clothes to settle the bill for him, and pulled him up drunk.
Calling for a carriage, the two of them climbed into the carriage with great difficulty, and galloped to a strange place. The carriage disappeared into the street at night, leaving behind a lonely streetlamp.
Zhong Liguo slept very soundly, and he didn't know where he was, a dazzling light burned his face, and a few drops of very cold water also fell on his face.
He stroked his face in annoyance, muttering in his mouth
"Don't move, I'll sleep again, don't move."
A very violent stream of water was directly stuffed into his mouth, and Zhong Liguo was choked and rolled over and got up, coughing endlessly.
After recovering from his spirits, Zhong Liguo realized that he was lying in a large room, with a gorgeous wooden floor, clean and shiny.
The little girl, dressed in a gorgeous costume, sat in the room, her eyes releasing a very naughty smile, looking at herself.
Zhong Liguo frowned, instinctively becoming vigilant, his eyes widening and looking around.
The little girl got up and walked up to Zhong Liguo and slapped his skinny leg with her hand.
Unceremoniously loud
"What's your name?
Tell me, and in the future, you must protect me.
Do you understand no,
I am your master, and keeping me safe is what you must do.
Don't be lazy, protect me every day. ”
Zhong Liguo looked at the girl very cautiously, squatted down, and asked patiently
"Who are you?
Where is this? How did I get here?
Little sister, you know what? ”
The little girl blinked, smiled very mysteriously, and said very mysteriously
"You're there, in the mansion,
I am your master, you will call me Princess Wan Dongfang!
Nobody brought you,
Don't you remember, you came by yourself,
If you want to keep me safe, come by yourself. ”
Zhong Liguo looked at the girl and knew that this child was very playful, and it was not good to ask what to say, so he could only slowly recall what he had experienced in the fried chicken restaurant last night.
The sliding door was opened, and a very old man slowly appeared in front of Zhong Liguo.
The old man's clothes were comfortable and loose, his eyes were kind, his chin was beardless, his face was incorruptible and upright, and he sat in the Taishi chair behind the door and in the middle of another room.
When Zhong Liguo saw the Taishi chair, he understood that this family was either rich or expensive, and it had an extraordinary status.
The Taishi chair is a very simple skeleton, but there are mechanisms at the armrests, and only people who have been walking the rivers and lakes for a long time will see the wisdom of the Taishi chair. In the eyes of ordinary people, they may only think that the chair is just an inconspicuous piece of furniture.
These unique details can't be hidden from Zhong Liguo, his family is a family of Orions, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he understands where the mechanism is designed without saying a word.
The old man said very modestly
"My daughter, very naughty, don't you mind.
Wan Dongfang, you go outside to play.
I have something to say for the Father"
The girl pouted obediently, took the initiative to go, and opened a small door on the left with her little hand.
In Zhong Liguo's eyes, there was a large pond with flowers blooming in it, and a middle-aged woman was standing alone by the pond.
The girl shouted
"Auntie, I'm going to feed the fish too."
The woman turned around and looked at the room, and the middle-aged woman was also dressed in gorgeous clothes, and her eyebrows were very delicate and white.
Hearing the words of Princess Wan Dongfang, the woman came up to her very affectionately, took the child by the hand, and went to the pond together.
In a flash, the woman casually looked at Zhong Liguo who was standing there.
But she was caught by Zhong Liguo, and the woman looked at her eyes, which were full of deliberate, fake taste to hide.
At this moment, Zhong Liguo understood that this woman had no good intentions in her bones.
