Chapter 294: Hardship

In the heavy rain, the two men each ran into the backyard carrying a bag of oilcloth wrapped in medicinal herbs.

Two solemn battalion soldiers under the eaves looked at them.

The footsteps of the two men couldn't help but stop.

Although those who could approach here had already been checked, the eyes of the battalion soldiers were still a little wary when they stopped.

This is an important location for epidemic prevention materials, and there can be no half-point difference.

Seeing the eyes of the two battalion soldiers, the man behind came back to his senses and bumped into the man in front of him by walking forward.

The two of them stood under the porch one after the other, and without looking at the two battalion soldiers, they took off the tarpaulin, put them aside, and carried the two packets of medicinal herbs into the room.

When they came out again, the two battalion soldiers had already looked at the gate of the courtyard, and instinctively noticed the gaze, and they turned their heads at the same time.

The two men who came out of the door were staring at them blankly.

The four eyes met, and there was silence for a while.

The bodies of the two men were subconsciously tense, and their hands were unconsciously put on their waists.

Although there is nothing there ...

Before the arrival of the battalion, Qianjintang was short of manpower, so it hired more than 20 manpower to deliver lime as handymen, responsible for the isolation of the group and the delivery of goods, etc., if it were not for them, the people who were running in a panic could not be controlled at all, and they also avoided the situation of materials being looted.

When the battalion came, they took over the crowd isolation, but these people did not leave, but stayed to continue to help.

Under this plague catastrophe, the people who could escape fled, they were not from Yongqing Mansion but did not leave but stayed, it is said that the financial manager of Qianjintang Hu withheld people's wages, but...

"It's a good thing." The two battalion soldiers nodded and said.

The two men gasped, their eyes widened in disbelief.

"No, no." One of the stammering openings.

"Misfortune is bitter, unfortunate is bitter. Soldier, you are fortunate. The other nodded and said.

The atmosphere suddenly came alive.

Everyone nodded to each other, and the two men walked out in the rain.

As soon as they walked out of here, the two men couldn't help but run away, as if there were vicious dogs chasing after them, and ran into a courtyard in one go, which was extremely noisy.

"Fourth brother, fourth brother, guess what I heard, guess what." The man who rushed in grabbed a man who was talking to four or five people and shouted.

"Guess what, guess." The man looked back and said angrily.

The man who spoke laughed.

"I heard those battalion soldiers say to me that I was lucky!" He clapped his hands and laughed. It seems like what a funny joke, "Thankfully! The battalion soldiers said to me! ”

In the past, those who were chased by these soldiers were like lost dogs, but today they were politely said to be lucky!

It's something you never dreamed of!

"Alright." The man frowned and covered his mouth, "Shut your mouth, don't make trouble with me!" ”

The man sat down stupidly. But I can't hide my excitement.

"What's there to show off, there was a battalion soldier who helped me push the cart yesterday." A thinner young man said.

There was a chatter here, and a few men with weight over there gathered together.

"Fourth brother, did the eldest brother say when we will leave?" One of them asked in a low voice, "These boys are not happy here, and sooner or later they will cause trouble, and when the time comes, will they help Qi Niangzi." That's where the trouble is. ”

"Yes, don't forget, the bounty portraits of several of our brothers are still posted in several state capitals." The other whispered.

The man known as the fourth brother nodded.

"The eldest brother said, give Qi Niangzi another big gift. Then let's go. He said.

"The money is ready, let's just throw it in the yard of the lady when the time comes, right?" One of them said.

The fourth brother smiled.

"That's not counted, the eldest brother is talking about those people." He said.

This sentence made everyone suddenly.

"Yes, yes, it's time." They laughed.

"Oh, Hu Ye. Why are you free to come over? ”

There was a sound of talking outside the door.

It was a message from the doorkeeper outside, and the people in the house immediately stopped talking.

Hu San has already stepped forward with a smile.

"Thankfully, brothers. I'll calculate your wages. He laughs.

"No hurry, no hurry." The fourth brother hurriedly laughed.

"No, my master said, before the soldiers and horses move the grain and grass, the brothers are equivalent to our grain and grass this time, and you can put everything else, you can't wait slowly." Hu San said with a facelift, while taking out a money bag from his arms and slowly handing it over.

The man was stunned, and he didn't shirk anymore, anyway, he would return it to Qi Niangzi in the future, so he stretched out his hand and took it.

Hu San looked at his empty hand, very reluctant, and when he saw that the man didn't look at it, he was about to throw the money to the person on the side.

"Hey, hey, you can count too." He hurriedly reminded.

The man laughed and hurriedly took back the money bag.

Wow, gold leaf...

Hu San raised his eyebrows and shouted for everyone in his heart.

In fact, no one was shouting, and everyone was looking at themselves with that strange smile...

How are these people....

It stands to reason that when you see money through labor, it's not like you see your father?

How does it look weird.

"Thank you, Master Hu." The man said, tossing the money bag to the person on the side.

The people on the side also casually hung the money bag around their waists.

Well, these people haven't seen money, they haven't seen gold leaves, they don't know how to get excited, I Hu San understand, don't laugh.

"You're gracious, you deserve it, thank you so much this time, if it weren't for you, things would have been bad." Hu San smiled and patted the man's shoulder and said, "When things are completely settled, I'll have a good drink with everyone." ”

When it comes to wine, the men understand it, and everyone's eyes light up.

Because of the big epidemic prevention matter, you can't drink alcohol here, but you still keep the soju every day, which is like watching a big beauty undress in bed and can't move her hands and feet, and a group of people are about to be tortured to death.

The atmosphere suddenly became warm.

"I'm going to drink." Qi Yue, wrapped in the quilt, said.

Ah Ru handed over the ginger soup, and there was no room for negotiation.

"If you dare to jump into the lake, why don't you dare to drink ginger soup." She said.

Hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by a man breaking in.

The rain was still falling outside, and Chang Yuncheng, who was only wearing a hat, was soaked.

"How did you fall into the lake?" He asked, when he asked this. Still outside the door, he came in at this time, and heard what Aru said, and he froze in place, his face frightened.

Jumping in the lake? Throw into the lake?

"No, no." Qi Yue hurriedly smiled, his hair wet on his face, and he sneezed heavily when he said this.

Chang Yuncheng didn't care about the water on his body, took off the hat and put it aside, took the ginger soup in Ah Ru's hand and handed it to Qi Yue. The look cannot be refused.

Qi Yue smiled and stretched out his hand from the quilt, took it, raised his head and drank it in one gulp.

"Go get another bowl." She said with her tongue sticking out.

Aru glanced at Chang Yuncheng, who was drenched, and went out.

There were only the two of them left in the room, Chang Yuncheng was a little restrained, and he turned his gaze around the room.

This is Qi Yue's simple resting place, which is even more humble than the Qianjin Hall.

This woman...

Chang Yuncheng's nose was slightly sour.

"Take your clothes off."

Qi Yue's voice came. Chang Yuncheng was stunned.

Take off...

He looked over and saw that Qi Yue had already gotten up and took out a smock from the small cabinet on the side.

This is the kind of experimental smock that Qianjintang unifies, wide and large, and it is not divided into men and women.

"No, no." Chang Yuncheng said.

Qi Yue looked at him and smiled.

"I'll avoid it, you're about to change, do you have to catch a cold and make me blame myself and feel distressed?" She laughed.

Chang Yuncheng's face turned red.

"Avoid something, it's not like you haven't seen it." He said. He reached out and untied his wet clothes.

Qi Yue hurriedly started sideways.

"You're reallyβ€”" she said with a smile, turning around.

Chang Yuncheng just subconsciously said this sentence, and when he said it, he would reminisce about it. All that's left is sourness.

The scenes of the boudoir frolicking in the past echoed in front of me again, and there seemed to be the frightened screams of the woman in my ears.

But at this moment, the ears are quiet, and the woman in front of her has her back to herself. Picked up a towel.

"Here, wipe it." She said. Hand it over with his hands behind his back.

Polite avoidance, no panic, no shyness, everything is so natural and casual.

Chang Yuncheng stretched out his hand to take it and slowly wiped his body.

When Ah Ru came in again, Chang Yuncheng was already wearing a smock, he was tall, his clothes were worn on his body, his arms and legs were exposed, and he looked awkward.

Chang Yuncheng naturally felt awkward, he simply sat down, covered it up by drinking ginger soup, and looked at this side from the corner of his eye.

Here, Qi Yue and Ah Ru were shaking the clothes he had taken off.

"I'm going to dry this." Aru said.

"It's going to have to be washed, it's all rain." Qi Yue shook his head and said, "Go and see who of them has extra clothes, and if they are about the same size, borrow a set." ”

Aru nodded and went out again.

"I didn't jump into the lake, I was swimming." Qi Yue said, turning around.

Chang Yuncheng lowered his gaze and sighed.

There was silence in the room.

"When are you leaving?" Qi Yue asked.

"It's already been delayed anyway, and it's nothing to be late." Chang Yuncheng said, "Let's leave when it's completely fine." ”

It's delayed. Really..

Qi Yue sighed.

I didn't know what to say, so I sat down and didn't say anything.

The rain outside was even heavier, and the brushes spilled on the roof window lattice, Qi Yue got up to close the window, and Chang Yuncheng was also busy helping.

Because of the rush to get up, the blouse was hung by the corner of the table.

Chang Yuncheng didn't stop moving, hissed, and tore it.

Qi Yue looked back in amazement and saw that half of the man's body was naked, revealing his strong chest, waist and thighs...

Seeing her look over, Chang Yuncheng reached out in a little panic and pulled the scattered blouse to cover it.

Qi Yue was angry and funny, and finally covered his mouth and laughed when he saw his embarrassed and funny appearance.

"Chang Yuncheng, you exhibitionist! Is it intentional to show off your muscles? She laughed.

Chang Yuncheng!

It's been a long time since she's called his name like that.

It's always you, or feed, instead.

Chang Yuncheng! Chang Yuncheng!

Chang Yuncheng looked at the woman who was laughing in front of him, only to feel that his brain was booming, he took a few steps over, hugged the woman in his arms, and pulled down the window with one hand.

With a click, the light in the room became darker, and the rain cracked on the windows like beans. (To be continued)
