Chapter 32: The Awkward Two

Lu Chuan looked at the topography map of the Dajing Empire in his hand and felt that things might be very difficult in the future, although the troops in the frontier were basically personal soldiers trained by his father, King Bei'an, but although the main general was difficult to convince the public, he was still sent by the emperor's holy decree himself, not to mention that after so many years, I don't know if the leadership has been infiltrated.

Lu Chuan let out a long sigh, carefully hid the terrain map and the distribution map of forces, now that the Shadow is free to come here to help him, and when that thing is done, he can sit down with the Shadow and have a good chat.

Ruan Xiaodie woke up to the sun outside that had begun to set, and the edge of the setting sun shone with a halo of color, and the dilapidated mountain hut became warm and bright.

Ruan Xiaodie looked at the dilapidated hut, thinking that the money she had earned recently was almost enough to repair the hut, and by the way, build a new room next to it for Lu Chuan to live in, and she couldn't always let him live in the thatched hut on the side, Ruan Xiaodie was a very active person, and decided to pull Lu Chuan down the mountain tomorrow to find a craftsman to repair the house.

But now it's time to start making dinner, dinner is a piece of cake for Ruan Xiaodie, the noon dishes are not finished and hot, and then cook a pot of porridge, Ruan Xiaodie shared a quarter of an hour to get these dishes, and then took the dishes and porridge to the table as usual, and then first called Ruan Sheng, and then went to the thatched house to call Lu Chuan, the three of them sat down, and then began to pick up chopsticks to eat.

At the dinner table, Ruan Xiaodie saw that the two of them were eating seriously.

Then he said to Lu Chuan: "Can we go down the mountain tomorrow?" Lu Chuan didn't speak, but his eyes looked at Ruan Xiaodie with questions, Ruan Xiaodie smiled lightly at Lu Chuan: "It just so happens that the shopkeeper of Yuelai Inn has paid me the material money for the buns at once in the past two days, plus the previous one, I want to go down the mountain to find a mason to repair our house, and then build a small single room in the yard for you, what do you think?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Chuan slowed down the pace of eating, and looked at Ruan Xiaodie: "Build me a room?" Ruan Xiaodie nodded: "Well, you can't always live in a thatched hut, that's not a problem!" ”

"But I don't know how long I'll stay here, and if it doesn't last long, won't it cost you nothing?" Lu Chuan turned his head to Ruan Xiaodie and spoke, Ruan Xiaodie had a heart attack when she heard Lu Chuan say this, and forced a smile: "No, it's okay, you have helped us so many times, it is appropriate to build a separate room for you." Lu Chuan no longer refused, nodded, and continued to eat.

After eating, Lu Chuan still wanted to clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, Ruan Xiaodie stretched out his hand to stop him, Lu Chuan looked at Ruan Xiaodie, his eyes were full of doubts, Ruan Xiaodie's pale face flashed a little wry smile: "You don't need to clean up, you go back and tidy up your things, I'll just collect it." ”

Lu Chuan sensed that Ruan Xiaodie's mood might be a little wrong, and he sensed that she was a little angry, but he didn't know what made her unhappy, so he had to walk away and go back to his thatched house. Ruan Sheng went back to the bedroom after eating, and he didn't know what he was doing.

Ruan Xiaodie had just cleaned up the two bowls, looking at Lu Chuan's back who didn't seem to have any nostalgia at all, tears blurred her eyes, Ruan Xiaodie turned her back to the door, her fair and beautiful face was covered with tears.

Ruan Xiaodie knew that Lu Chuan must not be an ordinary person, he was noble, he could solve anything in time, and he would not always worry about messy things, and even followed them all the time regardless of pay, there must be some big man who needs to observe the people's feelings in this small place or something.

Even if she had crossed over, she was a widow in this body, and how could she be worthy of him with a child. Ruan Xiaodie quietly shed tears and slowly calmed down, in fact, her emotions were usually hidden deeply, but this time she suddenly heard Lu Chuan say that she might not stay long before she suddenly broke out, and she felt that she was not worthy.

Now that he learned that Lu Chuan might be gone soon, how could he not be sad, clean up his emotions, and brush all the dishes and chopsticks before Ruan Xiaodie returned to the bedroom.

Early the next morning, Ruan Xiaodie got up early to clean up herself, made breakfast, and went to the thatched house, just about to call Lu Chuan, who knew that she happened to collide with Lu Chuan who was going out, Lu Chuan saw that she was slightly powdered, and she was dressed very beautifully, Lu Chuan was reluctant to look away for a while, knowing that he heard two light coughs, Lu Chuan withdrew his eyes: "I'll borrow an ox cart, you go back to work first."

Ruan Xiaodie nodded, went back to the house, and soon, Lu Chuan borrowed the ox cart, the people who borrowed the car were happy to have a good relationship with Lu Chuan, since the last time Ruan Xiaodie sent a jar of kimchi, they were even more enthusiastic, this time Lu Chuan went to borrow the ox cart, and lent him the ox cart without saying a word, but asked Lu Chuan to bring a hairpin to the child, and said the style of the shop and the hairpin, Lu Chuan said that he remembered, and the family happily sent Lu Chuan away.

Lu Chuan led the ox cart to the mountain, and soon arrived, tied the ox cart, Lu Chuan walked into the door of the hut, Ruan Xiaodie was holding pickles to the table, and saw Lu Chuan come back and greeted: "It's time to eat~" Lu Chuan walked over when he heard this, and also helped to set the dishes and chopsticks, this time Ruan Xiaodie didn't say anything, let him put the dishes and chopsticks away.

"Let's go." Lu Chuan cleaned up and saw that Ruan Xiaodie and Ruan Sheng had already changed their clothes and called them to go, Ruan Xiaodie nodded when she heard this, and took Ruan Sheng's hand and got into the ox cart, Lu Chuan saw that they were all on the ox cart, and he jumped on it himself and drove the ox cart down the mountain.

The three of them were silent on this trip down the mountain, and they were silent all the way and quickly arrived at the bottom of the mountain, Lu Chuan did not tie the ox cart to the Yuelai Inn this time, but asked the boss of the tea shed at the foot of the mountain to help take care of it, and the boss knew Lu Chuan and agreed very happily.

After parking the car, Ruan Xiaodie led Ruan Sheng, Lu Chuan followed Ruan Xiaodie, and the group came to the side of the road holding a sign saying that he did the work of craftsmen repairing houses.

There was a sign in front of many people on this road, Ruan Xiaodie first observed how everyone behaved when someone asked, and then inquired about the price, and probably had a bottom in her heart before she walked like that group of craftsmen.

Ruan Xiaodie picked the most honest-looking person and asked, "How much will it cost to renovate my house and add a single room in the yard?"

The honest old man didn't react at once, he was stunned by this huge list, and hurriedly responded to Ruan Xiaodie: "Girl, if I repair a house for you and build another one, the cost of adding some materials will not exceed two taels of silver, and you have to go to the place where you live to see it."
