Chapter 165: Temporary Silence

Hearing Lin Xiaoxi's reply, Zhang Xiaochi was embarrassed for a while, what was this girl thinking in her head, she obviously didn't have that kind of idea.

However, when he thought that Lin Xiaoxi was thinking about his body, he was also relieved.

Considering Lin Xiaoxi's face, Zhang Xiaochi said with a smile.

"Then let's go to bed early."

"Hmm!"

Lin Xiaoxi hummed softly, and the arm that hugged Zhang Xiaochi's arm tightened slightly.

In fact, Zhang Xiaochi was indeed very tired, and finally escorted Zhao Jiajun back to Qingwa Town, and then went to Wagang Village to rescue everyone non-stop.

Holding Lin Xiaoxi, at this moment, he had an unprecedented sense of happiness, a sense of exhaustion came up, and he soon fell asleep.

This time, Zhang Xiaochi was very down-to-earth, and when he woke up, the beauty in his arms was gone.

Rubbing his eyes, he turned his head to look in the direction of the window, and saw that the sun was shining outside, and he estimated that it should be noon.

I got up from the bed and stretched, put on my clothes and walked out of the room, and found that only Lin Songyang was sitting there in the backyard practicing calligraphy.

"Dad, how about practicing calligraphy!?"

"Well, you're up!"

Lin Songyang nodded, and then continued.

"Xiaoxi is busy outside, she told me, you wake up and go directly to the kitchen, your food is hot on the stove."

Zhang Xiaochi nodded slightly, and glanced at the direction of Shuangzhu Peak, it was very quiet over there, and it seemed that the Jin army had not attacked the city for the time being.

"Dad, how long have I been asleep?"

Zhang Xiaochi asked subconsciously.

"It didn't take long, I only slept for three or four hours."

"Dad, the Jin army didn't attack the city during this time, right?"

"Nope."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaochi breathed a sigh of relief, when the reinforcements came, the pressure on Qingwa Town would be much less, and the Jin Kingdom would not attack the city for the time being, which was a good thing for Qingwa Town.

After washing, I said hello to Lin Songyang and came to the back kitchen.

Because it was a time of war, the restaurant business was not easy to do, unless there was only Zhang Cheng stir-frying alone, and when he saw Zhang Xiaochi appear, he was overjoyed.

"Master, it's good if you're back."

"Let me see if your craft has grown."

Zhang Xiaochi smiled, walked over and tasted it, the taste is okay, it has grown better than before, it seems that this kid has worked hard in the days when he is not in Qingwa Town.

"The food that the master gave you is hot on the stove."

Zhang Cheng reminded.

"Yes."

When he came to the stove, he opened the lid of the cage drawer, and it was full of things he liked to eat.

"This is what my sister made for you."

Zhang Cheng explained in the rear.

Zhang Xiaochi was very satisfied, swept away the food, and then left the kitchen satisfied.

Outside, there were only a few people eating in the restaurant.

"Husband, you're up!"

Seeing Zhang Xiaochi, Lin Xiaoxi hurriedly came to his side.

Zhang Xiaochi's eyes fell on Lin Xiaoxi, although this girl is very thin, her complexion today is obviously much better than yesterday, and asked softly.

"It's not busy, is it?"

"It's not busy, there is a war outside, there is a shortage of food in Qingwa Town, except for the basic food for the daily life of the people, the rest are bought by the army as military food."

"So, we can't even sell alcohol in our store now."

Lin Xiaoxi replied seriously.

Zhang Xiaochi nodded slightly, now is a very moment, Qingwa Town is located in a remote area, and if you rely on the support of a few nearby towns and towns, it is not enough at all, so everyone can save a little bit and contribute to the Great Yue Kingdom.

Winemaking requires more food, and it makes sense that there are no raw materials now.

"Husband, tell you one thing quietly, Xu Kunming secretly hid more than 300 catties of wine and didn't sell it."

Lin Xiaoxi said in a low voice.

"Why is that?"

"He told me that the situation is special now, and the food per person is limited, and it is impossible to make wine, so I should keep it and get it when my own people want to drink it in the future."

"Let him go."

Zhang Xiaochi knew that Xu Kunming had good intentions, but he would not take the opportunity to raise prices to make a fortune.

"Xiaochi, it's good that you're back!"

The second aunt and Zhang Fenghe walked over, and the two looked Zhang Xiaochi up and down, and they were relieved to see that he was safe and sound.

Zhang Xiaochi chatted with everyone for a while, and then went to see the progress of the new home with Lin Xiaoxi, maybe because of the impact of the war, the construction progress was very slow, and the village chief saw Zhang Xiaochi, but he was helpless to complain, saying that no matter how he urged, everyone did not have much thought to build a house.

"The village chief, since this is the case, some people will be dismissed, as for who to dismiss, you can just make up your mind."

Although Zhang Xiaochi is rich now, it doesn't mean that he can waste money at will, since everyone has no heart to build a house, why does he find so many people to work here and fish?

"Don't worry, I'll promise it's okay."

Zhang Xiaochi didn't stay long, and when he sent Lin Xiaoxi back to the restaurant, he was going to Shuangzhufeng to check the situation, but Zhao Linger wanted to go with him to see the excitement.

"You're a girl, it's not good to stay at home, it's not good to go out and show your face."

"Besides, the Jin Kingdom will attack at any time, and it will be dangerous."

"I'm not afraid."

Facing Zhang Xiaochi, who was persuading her bitterly, Zhao Linger smiled slightly, and the three words directly made Zhang Xiaochi speechless for a while.

"If you don't take me there, I can go myself, anyway, my feet grow on me."

Zhao Ling'er struck while the iron was hot.

"Okay, it's okay to follow me, but you have to follow my arrangement and don't move around at will!"

Zhang Xiaochi was helpless, this was really a wild girl, thinking that in case she secretly followed Lin Xiaoxi, she could only agree.

The city wall, located between the twin pillar peaks, is only a mile away from the residential area of Qingwa Town, and soon, the two of them came to the twin pillar peaks.

Behind the city gate, Zhao Qiankun was giving instructions to a soldier, and when he saw Zhang Xiaochi and his sister appear, he waved his hand to let the soldier leave, and hurriedly came to the two.

"Ling'er, don't you know it's dangerous here?"

Zhao Ling'er stuck out her tongue at Zhao Qiankun and smiled playfully.

"Big brother, don't worry, I promise I won't mess around."

"Brother Zhao, I will also help restrain Ling'er."

Zhang Xiaochi added on the side.

Zhao Qiankun glared at Zhao Ling'er, then turned around and walked up the stairs, saying as he walked.

"Brother Ye, they are all on the city wall, let's go up and have a look."

"Good!"

Zhao Ling'er answered in front of Zhang Xiaochi, and after speaking, he hurriedly caught up with Zhao Qiankun and came to the city wall one step ahead.

When he came to the city wall, Zhang Xiaochi said hello to Ye Zhiqiu and others, and then also looked across the moat.

About two miles away from the city wall, you can see a lot of Jin soldiers moving.
