Chapter 1135: Gratitude Tears
Quietly closing the door, it didn't take long for him to walk around in the drizzle when he felt no longer so cold.
Because there was no figure around, Lin Xuanzhong walked to a room and opened the door, different snoring sounds came, and when he looked closely, all the people sleeping in the room were people, and those people were huddled together and sleeping on the clothes to keep warm. And the sound of him opening the door didn't wake up a single person, it seemed that those people were sleeping soundly, and no one would wake up in a short time.
Slowly closing the door, Lin Xuanzhong went to other rooms to take a look, and it turned out that every room was full of people sleeping like this, and it is worth mentioning that there was a room where all the women who fell asleep were thinly dressed. After going to that room to take a look, the chill that had been invading Lin Xuanzhong all the time had faded, and Lin Xuanzhong even felt a little hot.
After quickly closing the door of the room, remembering that Zhang Yulong had said before that these women were all people who were captured by the mine personnel for their enjoyment, Lin Xuanzhong quickly stopped those thoughts that he shouldn't have.
"My lord," when Lin Xuanzhong was about to go to the next place, a thin figure holding a bundle of firewood happened to come from the side, "Birou woke up too late and didn't boil water for the adults to wash in time, please forgive me." ”
Although it was a rainy day, the light was much stronger than the light at night, and the white and red face was indeed moving, but what made Lin Xuanzhong strange was that Birou was still wearing last night's clothes.
"Aren't you cold?" When he noticed that Bi Rou's hands were so dry red and colorless, even more ugly than his hands, Lin Xuanzhong's eyes flashed, and the thought that shouldn't have disappeared directly, and a look of concern appeared on his face in an instant.
"My lord, Birou only has this one piece of clothing," Birou didn't dare to look Lin Xuanzhong's eyes, so she could only bow her head and reply.
"Then you put it on first, I have other clothes," looked at the other party for a while, and when Lin Xuanzhong completely understood why the other party was wearing so little, Lin Xuanzhong directly took off the coat he liked, and then walked to Birou to put it on.
"Thank you, sir," after a moment of nervousness, when Lin Xuanzhong walked away, Birou opened her big eyes and thanked Lin Xuanzhong.
"I'll go back and get dressed, you can get busy slowly, don't worry," retracting that idea that shouldn't have been, Lin Xuanzhong turned around and walked straight towards his residence, putting on the last piece of clothing that Xiangqiao bought for him, in fact, it was a little cold now, but the comfortable feeling had not changed, and it also reminded Lin Xuanzhong of the friends he had made in Divine Sword City, and he was worried for a while.
Speaking of which, the days in Divine Sword City were calmer than now, but when he thought of Chen Wenyu, Lin Xuanzhong's nostalgia quickly turned into anger, of course, that anger was mixed with jokes. Although the secret book given by Chen Wenyu did put him in danger, Lin Xuanzhong didn't really blame Chen Wenyu.
After getting dressed, Lin Xuanzhong went to the mine where Zhang Yulong and the others worked before to take a look. The oil lamp hanging on the wall of the cave turned on casually, but fortunately, the light could already allow Lin Xuanzhong to see what he wanted to see.
There were some tools scattered on the ground, and there was some unpleasant smell in the air, but the further you went, the fresher the air became. It didn't take long for a gleaming wall to emerge. If you look closely, it was originally a jade mine. Looking again, there are still some untreated jade stones that have been mined around.
In terms of color, the quality of jade is not very good, but fortunately, it has a lot of weight. After taking a good look, Lin Xuanzhong went back to other caves to have a look.
After a while, when he came out of the last mine, Lin Xuanzhong felt that the situation in the three mines was the same, some scattered utensils, some untreated jade, even if the quality of those jade was poor, it was enough for so many hard labors to spend the rest of their lives, but where they would spend the rest of their lives was a problem, there was no safe place nearby, and those people could only go to Fog City or Qin City.
The rain was still falling outside, and after thinking about the miners, Lin Xuanzhong thought about his own business again, after some guards escaped yesterday, they might inform others of the situation here, so he and those miners had to leave here as soon as possible, thinking about it, Lin Xuanzhong planned to let them leave after those miners were rested.
When he returned to his residence, Zhang Yulong was still asleep, but there was one more person in the house, it was Birou who came to deliver hot water, wearing the clothes that Lin Xuanzhong gave her that didn't fit at all, and now she looked much better, at least she wouldn't let Lin Xuanzhong have some more thoughts that shouldn't have for no reason.
"Birou, you're here," looking at the basin of hot water on the table and some food, Lin Xuanzhong simply greeted the other party.
"My lord, Birou has brought you food and hot water," I don't know if it was because of the cold or because of shyness, Birou's face was slightly red, which was pitiful. And the wide clothes showed her thinness even more, and it made people feel a sense of pity for no reason.
"Birou, have you eaten?" There was a lot of food on the table, and just looking at it made people very appetizing, but when he thought that he couldn't finish eating alone, Lin Xuanzhong asked like this.
"My lord, you can eat first, Birou can eat the rest of what you eat," the food brought to the two people in the house was enough, but Birou was still worried that Lin Xuanzhong would not eat enough.
"Zhang Yulong won't be able to get up until later, you can come and sit down and eat with me first!" Glancing at Birou with a smile, Lin Xuanzhong hoped that the other party could not be so cramped, so he continued: "You don't need to call me Lord, if you don't mind calling me Brother Lin, just do it." ”
"My lord, Birou doesn't dare," Lin Xuanzhong was out of kindness, but Birou's courage was too small, and after answering timidly, she was still standing in the same position.
"You don't have to be afraid, I have no ill will towards you," trying his best to be friendly, Lin Xuanzhong hoped that Birou would be bolder, so that the conversation between the two would be much easier. In addition, no matter what happened to Birou before, Lin Xuanzhong felt that he only needed to treat Birou as an ordinary woman.
"Brother Lin," under Lin Xuanzhong's sincere eyes, Birou shouted carefully, and then plucked up the courage to walk to the table and sit down.
"You use Zhang Yulong's chopsticks," Seeing that Zhang Yulong was still asleep, and even the fragrance of rice failed to wake him up, Lin Xuanzhong directly put a pair of chopsticks in front of Birou.
Then, when Lin Xuanzhong was washing, Birou was already eating her meal carefully, and her movements were very slow, as if she had no appetite.
Eating, eating, his eyes were red, two crystals of light appeared in his eyes, and Lin Xuanzhong, who was already eating, was shocked and hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks.
"Birou, what's wrong with you?" After asking with a concerned face, Lin Xuanzhong really didn't understand how the other party was crying while eating.
"Thank you, Lord for being so good to Birou," and Lin Xuanzhong's question was like *, which suddenly detonated Birou's tear ducts, and two lines of hot tears burst out of her eyes, making Birou cry all of a sudden.
Probably because she was too excited, Birou couldn't eat normally, and after putting down the dishes and chopsticks, she cried and wiped her tears.
It was the first time to see a woman crying so sadly so closely, and Lin Xuanzhong was completely at a loss for a while.
"My lord, thank you for being so kind to Birou," seemed to be extremely excited, and soon Birou couldn't cry.
"Bi Rou, you don't have to be afraid, with me, no one will be able to bully you in the future," although he was a little overwhelmed, but Lin Xuanzhong's brain was still functioning, and the scene in front of him was very similar to when Zhang Yulong cried in front of him yesterday, and slowly Lin Xuanzhong thought that the reason why Bi Rou was crying bitterly at this time was because he felt that he was very good to her. Although he didn't deliberately show kindness, it was enough to make the other party grateful.
On the other side, Lin Xuanzhong's comfort didn't help, Birou's tears couldn't be wiped at all, and she cried very aggrieved, so much so that Lin Xuanzhong had to get up and wring out the towel in the basin to wipe Birou's face, again and again. Later, Lin Xuanzhong no longer tried to persuade the other party, just thinking that the other party might be fine if he cried enough.
After a while, when he went to wash the towel for Birou again, Lin Xuanzhong happened to notice several people standing at the door, all wearing the clothes of the mine guards, and Lin Xuanzhong was shocked and thought that someone had come to trouble him.
"My lord," but when Lin Xuanzhong looked over, those people bowed to Lin Xuanzhong, and there were voices that made Lin Xuanzhong feel familiar. When those people raised their heads, Lin Xuanzhong was surprised to find that their faces were familiar.
"Why are you wearing the clothes of the mine guards?" After recognizing that two of them were the people who helped him tie up the high-level martial cultivator yesterday, Lin Xuanzhong asked them directly.
"The weather was too cold, and we really didn't have any clothes to wear, so we found their clothes to wear. ”
"Then what did you come to me for?" After nodding understandingly, Lin Xuanzhong asked again.
"My lord, there are a few brothers who are a little abnormal, we don't know what's going on, so we want to ask the adults to take a look," the conversation changed, and the person who replied continued: "And the person I caught yesterday, I don't know what the adults want to do?"
"Are all the people asleep awake?"
"Some of them are awake and some of them are still asleep. ”
"Okay, I'll go with you first to see those who have problems," nodding, Lin Xuanzhong turned around and said to Birou who was no longer crying: "I have something to do when I go out, you can eat slowly here." ”
"What's your name?" Out of the door, Lin Xuanzhong's attention stopped on the few people in front of him.
"My name is Zhang Yuan. ”
"My name is Liu Wu. ”
"My name is Wang Heng. ”
......
In the blink of an eye, each of the five reported their names.
