Chapter 179: Shoveling Snow
Zhu Xian picked up the other scaffolds and ran outside the yard, while turning his head and saying to Cao Zhijin: "Don't talk about this, we have to quickly cover these scaffolds on the herbs, otherwise the snow at night will definitely bury those herbs!"
Cao Zhijin also picked up the scaffolding and ran into another yard.
The two of them worked hard for half the night, and finally covered all the herbs in Qinxiangyuan.
When the two walked back and met in Zhu Xian's yard, the snow on the ground was already enough to submerge the upper of the shoe.
The two shrank into the kitchen, Cao Zhijin stomped the snow on the upper of his shoes, and Zhu Xian walked over to light the fire on the stove that had long been extinguished, heated the food, and brought it back to the table to look at Cao Zhijin and said embarrassedly: "It's almost dawn, I guess I can't sleep, let's eat dinner as breakfast!"
Cao Zhijin nodded, looked at her and said, "After eating, you can go to sleep, the master will have me there!"
Zhu Xian waved his hand and said, "I can't sleep, I see that the snow is falling so quickly and violently, and I don't know if those scaffolds can hold up?"
Cao Zhijin put a chopstick dish in her bowl and said: "You don't have to worry about this, the scaffolding is made of the branches of an old tree, it is very tough, even if it is crushed, it is estimated that the loss is not big!"
"Really?"
Cao Zhijin nodded, looked at her bowl and said, "Eat it!"
Zhu Xian breathed a sigh of relief, and went back to his room to sleep after eating.
Cao Zhijin looked at the heavy snow outside, looked at the candlelight that had long been extinguished in the house, put on his cloak again, put on his hat and walked the yard.
She came to the moon gate and leaned against the wall, listening carefully to the movement outside.
The wind blew fiercely, and the sound of tearing made my heart beat terrified, and beyond that, there was the silence of the snow.
But Cao Zhijin could still feel the presence of the secret guards outside the Moon Gate.
Their position is not fixed and there is no pattern to follow.
Cao Zhijin glanced at the high courtyard wall, even in such bad weather, the guard of the secret guards outside the door was not loose, if she broke out like this......
Surely death!
Cao Zhijin took a few steps back, feeling a faint murderous aura outside the moon gate.
It's clear she's been here for too long!
She took the pre-written note from her sleeve and put it in a cloth bag on the wall, and turned to leave.
The note was written with the seeds of herbs that could be crushed by heavy snowfall.
Back in the courtyard, the fire in the stove will not be extinguished, and a faint red glow will flicker in the pile of ashes.
Cao Zhijin wanted to relight the fire in the stove, so he first put a handful of dry soft grass in the stove like Zhu Xian, and when there was a flame, he immediately threw the coarser dry firewood into it.
I saw a "snap", the fire was extinguished, and there was not even a wisp of green smoke.
Cao Zhijin gave up.
Let's wait for Zhu Xian to wake up and get it!
She went to the stove to make sweet glutinous grass porridge, and used the stove to boil boiling water to brew the awakening tea, put it in a food box and wrapped it in cotton cloth, and sent it to Yuzhuang's residence.
Yuzhuang seemed to have sat at the table all night, and there was a noticeable dark blue under his eyes.
When Cao Zhijin opened the food box, she drank the awakening tea first, and her spirits immediately improved.
She looked at Cao Zhijin and said happily: "I saw you so disappointed yesterday, I thought you wouldn't come today!"
"No!" Cao Zhijin shook her head, when she couldn't see hope, the only thing she could do was not to let herself despair!
Yuzhuang glanced at Cao Zhijin a few times, and said appreciatively: "When I first met you, I knew that you were different from other people, you were careful, resilient, smart, knew how to advance and retreat, and what was even more rare and valuable was that you had a pure heart, these are the things I admire about you." I don't think I'll be able to go out for the rest of my life, and if I can't pass on what I've learned all my life, I'll have some regrets. ”
Cao Zhijin knelt down in front of her, bowed and said, "Apprentice Wenjin has worshiped Master!"
Yuzhuang helped her up and said, "Your medical skills must have been taught by your master, since you have already apprenticed to your master, there is no need to worship me as a teacher."
Cao Zhijin looked at her.
She insisted, "Actually, I'm just fulfilling my wish!"
"Don't worry, master, the slave and maid must study hard!" Cao Zhijin said firmly.
Yuzhuang nodded, glanced at the clothes on her body and said, "The clothes you are wearing today are not suitable, go and change your clothes and come back again!"
Cao Zhijin looked at the clothes on his body, the skirt was too wide and the sleeves were too long, which was indeed very in the way!
She went back to her yard and changed her clothes with corset sleeves and short skirts, and when she came back, Yuzhuang also changed her clothes.
I saw that she changed into a white power suit, and her hair was also tied up in a high bunch, fixed with a white hosta, which looked capable and concise, and heroic!
Yuzhuang glanced at her clothes, nodded, fixed his eyes on her loose hair, shook his head again, led her into the house, picked a glass hairpin from the box, and tied Cao Zhijin into a high bunch to fix it.
She looked at the straw brocade in the mirror and said, "If you want to survive in the courtyard of the deep house, you have to secretly prevent others from poisoning you."
She said trustingly, "Your medical skills are superb, and I believe this will not be difficult for you."
She changed her words, pinched her arm and said: "You are born with little strength, if you are chased and killed, you will definitely die, so you must learn a little kung fu to protect yourself!"
Cao Zhijin looked at Yuzhuang in the mirror and asked excitedly, "The master also knows martial arts?"
Yuzhuang replied: "It's just a little fist and kick kung fu, I don't have internal strength!"
Cao Zhijin nodded, that's also very powerful!
Cao Zhijin didn't expect that she could also learn a little kung fu!
"Alright, let's get out!" Yuzhuang walked out of the door and pointed to the snow trail of the open space coral in front of the door, "Although the moves can be controlled by skill and skill, we still have to start with the basic skills, you have to practice your strength first!" ”
"From this day forward, I will ensure that the land in front of my door is spotless!"
Cao Zhijin looked at the snow outside, the shallowest part was ankle-deep, and there were a series of footprints left by her when she first came.
She took a deep breath, nodded, went back to Zhu Xian's yard and got a shovel, and then went back to Yuzhuang's residence to shovel the snow.
The snow was really heavy, and after only three shovels, Cao Zhijin was already exhausted and out of breath.
But Yuzhuang changed his previous gentle attitude, moved a small stool and sat under the eaves and stared at Cao Zhijin sternly.
It wasn't until noon that Cao Zhijin shoveled the snow two meters away from his feet to the bottom.
Zhu Xian woke up and saw that Cao Zhijin had not come back, so he took a spare food box and cooked a bowl of sweet potato water and sent it over, but saw two people sitting in the snow, one was desperately shoveling snow, and the other was urging sternly.
She didn't understand what kind of painting it was for a while.
"Zhu Xian, what's inside?" Yuzhuang is called Zhu Xiandao.
Zhu Xian hurriedly walked up to her with a food box and replied respectfully, "It's sweet potato water."
She knew that Yuzhuang couldn't eat normal meals before, and all she had eaten in the past month was the sweet glutinous grass and awakening tea that Cao Zhijin had quietly boiled, but she didn't know either, so she could only cook a bowl of sweet potato water that she could barely drink.
