Chapter 281: Night Silkworm Language
In Qingping County, the mulberry trees all over the mountains form a Songhai.
Some of the silkworm houses are lit at night, just like fishing boats in this sea, setting off the night more deeply.
When the wind blows, the mulberry forest rustles, as if countless silkworms are devouring mulberry leaves.
Since the owner surnamed Ning expanded the weaving workshop here and expanded the scale of the surrounding mulberry forest by nearly ten times, many people in Qingping County have lived a good life.
Zhao Chuang is one of the beneficiaries.
At that time, he was living a normal life, and he could only say that he was barely fed, and his life was numb and boring.
But what made him sad at night was that she was the childhood sweetheart in his hometown who was about to get married.
Although the two did not make a private agreement for life, they were almost there.
He left the remote town and came to this county town that seemed to be lively, thinking that he could get ahead.
But it's too slow.
It was so slow that she couldn't wait for herself to go back.
He looked at the wooden hairpin sent by Xiao Yun and told him the news that she had been engaged, and tears almost fell.
And just when Zhao Chuang was in a daze because of his sadness, the news that Ning Dong's family was preparing to expand the weaving workshop and needed more people to plant trees and raise silkworms.
At that time, the people in the county town were quite cautious, and there were local snakes who threatened to say that whoever dared to do business with outsiders without permission would have no good fruit to eat, so even fewer people responded.
It is said that at that time, the families who originally raised silkworms were changing hands, and they must have encountered some trouble.
Zhao Chuang is in the pain of losing his beloved, and feels that there is nothing to lose, and even has a kind of "Lao Tzu just did it, I see who will make me eat bad fruit." The rotten mentality.
Who would have thought that this would become one of the luckiest choices he had since he was born.
What others didn't want to do, what they didn't dare to do, he took out all his savings and became one of the first few people to respond to the Ning Dong family.
He was just ready to fight, and he was ready to be approached by the head snake.
What I didn't expect was that this thing went surprisingly smoothly, and those clamoring snakes seemed to disappear all at once, melting like ice and snow, and there was the full support of the county magistrate behind them.
At this time, Zhao Chuang knew that the Ning Dong family had means.
When the county citizens reacted and joined one after another, it was naturally not comparable to him who entered the game early.
The silk that Ning Dong's family wants is the best goods, and other silkworm farmers are reluctant to use the original silkworms.
To be honest, before the first batch of silk came out, he was very worried in his heart, if the "best goods" in the mouth of the Ning Dong family were just talking about it, and he didn't give enough price, then he would be a loss.
He also heard that the owner had only one eye open, and he couldn't help but be even more apprehensive.
As a result, fortunately, this Ning Dongjia was knowledgeable, and his silk gave a sincere enough price, while some other adulterated ones were not even accepted.
Although he earned his first silver by raising silkworms, it tasted really good, and if the momentum continued to be so good, the small dream of getting ahead could also be seen.
It's a pity that when he thought of Xiao Yun, who was about to marry another woman, he was uncomfortable and bored again.
Even if he gets ahead later, he will lose his heart and mind after all.
But who would have thought that since raising silkworms, his luck has become better and better, and Xiao Yun actually came.
He was surprised and frightened at the time, and asked, "Xiao Yun, ...... you?"
"I'm divorced, so let's not be separated from each other."
......
The beautiful things that have happened in the past year and a half are like a dream.
Zhao Chuang felt that this was really heavenly, so he cherished everything in front of him more and more.
In order to raise silkworms better, he even lived in this mulberry forest silkworm house.
Zhao Chuang carried the lantern and walked in the forest, his steps as light as ever
Fast.
In fact, there are more than a few good things that he has encountered during this time.
I don't know if he was born to raise silkworms, or if he was lucky enough to pick up the best silkworm seeds, he had a silkworm that grew very well, fat and fat like a piglet, and produced a lot of silk.
To be honest, he was still a little scared when he first saw the silkworm grow so big.
After all, I have never heard of anyone raising such a big silkworm around.
But after staying with this silkworm for a long time, he found that it was not only no different from ordinary silkworms, but also produced a lot, and he gave birth to a sense of intimacy.
Every time he stays with this big silkworm, he is always very relieved.
This big silkworm is his secret, a secret that even Xiao Yun doesn't know.
Ahead, the silkworm house in the night is very close.
Push the door and light the oil lamp, and the already dark room becomes warm.
Zhao Chuang walked into the innermost room and found that it was only a daylight, and the room was already full of silk.
He gently lifted the white cloth, and a silkworm the size of a piglet lay there, its body squirming slightly, and it looked like it was asleep.
He couldn't help but gently stroke the back of the silkworm, and the texture on it was very clear.
The silkworm suddenly shuddered and woke up.
After a moment of silence, it suddenly lifted half of its body, revealing its flower-colored belly, and made a rustling sound against the roof, looking like it was very excited.
The silkworm has always been quiet, and this situation rarely occurs, and for a while, Zhao Chuang was a little worried.
After all, this silkworm is his treasure.
But fortunately, the silkworm quickly quieted down, as if it had fallen asleep again.
Zhao Chuang gently covered it with a white cloth, as if he was covering a sleeping lover with a quilt.
After that, because he was too full for dinner, Zhao Chuang couldn't help but feel a little sleepy, but now it was not time to sleep, so he sat down on the chair next to him and prepared to take a nap.
Squinting, Zhao Chuang was suddenly awakened by a gust of wind.
He looked at the silk in the room, looked outside, and saw that there was nothing unusual.
But when he sat down again, he couldn't sleep, but the feeling of panic kept lingering in his heart.
Involuntarily, Zhao Chuang remembered the appearance of the silkworm lifting its body just now, as if saying that there was something on it.
Will there be rats, snakes, etc., so that the silkworm will be afraid and warn him?
As soon as this thought appeared, it lingered in his mind.
So Zhao Chuang picked up the oil lamp and came to the silkworm box where the silkworm was located.
He lifted his hand and looked up at the roof, and found that there was nothing but some fluttering silk sticking to it.
Still uneasy, he picked up the wooden ladder outside the house, set it on the beam, and climbed up.
Because of the silkworms, there were a lot of silkworms scattered in the house, and when Zhao Chuang climbed the ladder, he had a feeling of seeing the clouds.
Eventually, he landed on the top of the ladder and looked closely, and there was really nothing on the beams or the roof.
The beams are covered with a layer of fine ash, and there are no traces of rats and snakes crawling.
Just as he was about to come down, he noticed a cluster of silk on the beam that was a bit eye-catching.
It was a little thicker than the silk hanging from other places, and it seemed to be the direction that the silkworm had been facing when it raised its head.
Zhao Chuang adjusted his body and leaned over.
The light of the oil lamp caused the room to sway from side to side, stretching the shadows in the vicinity for a long time.
And at this moment, Zhao Chuang's eyes narrowed slightly, because he found that there seemed to be a line of words mixed in this cluster of silk.
He pushed the silk away a little, squinted his eyes to look at it, and muttered, "It's Xiao Yun, save ......."
The next moment, Zhao Chuang only felt a chill in his back, goosebumps all over his body, and he couldn't help but shiver, and the oil lamp in his hand almost fell.
Because he could see this line clearly.
A line of words glued with silk.
"I'm Xiao Yun, save me."
Zhao Chuang came down from the ladder and was scared enough.
For a moment, the branches and leaves of the mulberry tree outside the house swayed in the wind, like evil spirits that had come to arrest people.
I'm Xiao Yun, save me.
Who is Xiao Yun and will not be ......
Zhao Chuang couldn't help but look at the silkworm covered with a white cloth, only to feel that this idea was too ridiculous.
How is it possible, he is living a good life, and the real Xiao Yun is in Qingping County.
At this time, the big silkworm under the white cloth seemed to sense his gaze and squirmed.
Looking at the shaking white cloth, Zhao Chuang's heart was filled with fear for a while.
With trembling hands, he lifted the white cloth and suddenly found that the silkworm was looking at him.
The eyes of the silkworm are very small, even if they are placed on the body of the large silkworm, they are not big, like two slits.
But I don't know if it's the reason for the shaking of the oil lamp, or something else, Zhao Chuang only felt that the crack was full of horror, as if he was asking him for help.
The next moment, the eyes of the silkworm were filled with tears.
"You, you're ......"
Before he finished speaking, the silkworm suddenly closed his eyes, and his body stopped squirming, as if he had suddenly fallen asleep again.
[The problem of slow update of new chapters is in the can.]
The silkworm room looked around and said, "What did you just do, I knocked for a long time before opening the door."
Zhao Chuang hurriedly explained, "I took a nap and fell asleep."
The outhouse where Zhao Chuang lives is not big, only a bed, a bench, and not even a table.
Xiao Yun sat directly on Zhao Chuang's bed and chatted with Zhao Chuang.
Zhao Chuang was talking to the other party, but his heart was very worried.
Because he found that the other party's eyes had to glance at the silkworm house inside from time to time.
At this time, Zhao Chuang couldn't help but stand up and said, "Yun'er, it's getting late, I'll send you back."
Xiao Yun sat there and didn't move, reproaching, "You want me to go so much? Is there someone hiding?"
Zhao Chuang hurriedly said, "How dare I, I'm afraid that it will be too late and it will not be safe on the way back."
"Then I'll sleep here tonight."
"Huh?"
Xiao Yun looked at him and said with a smile: "I have thought it out tonight, since I want to marry you, I naturally want to share the joys and sorrows with you, how can there be any reason for you to work here alone at night."
"Huh?"
"Xiao Chuang, let's sleep, I'm so cold."
After Xiao Yun came here, the two had already made a lifelong decision, so they had already slept a long time ago.
Zhao Chuang pretended to be calm and walked over, pretending to hug the other party as usual.
After a period of warmth, Zhao Chuang felt like he was lost in the lake.
In the past, he felt very comfortable and relaxed with this feeling, but this time, he kept two points clear in his heart because of fear.
When he slept until midnight, he only felt that Xiao Yun in his arms was moving, like a fat long worm.
No, it should be more like a silkworm that he stays with every day, just the size of a person.
The other party squirmed on top of him, and Zhao Chuang got goosebumps all over his body.
What the hell is this?
But in order to survive, in order not to be found out of the ordinary, Zhao Chuang secretly gritted his teeth, as usual.....
When Zhao Chuang was afraid all night, Ji Que and his party came to Qingping County.
They arrived a little later than expected, because the horses pulling the cart had broken their feet, and the last one had no legs, but the carriage fell into the ravine.
Ji Que came to the foothold, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Mold, it's really unlucky."
As soon as the words fell, the door plaque of the inn fell suddenly, and he raised his hand to pick it up.
As a result, the next moment, he couldn't help but look ugly and said, "Damn, how can there be bird poop on this plaque?"
As soon as these words came out, Ning Hongyu and the three of them couldn't help but stay away from him, and even Tang Yi changed a place to lie down.
