Chapter 154: Black Ball Ball
Zhu Jingting smiled and wanted to touch Zhu Xiaozhu's head, but unfortunately his hands full of mud and sand really couldn't do it.
He sighed, and just as he was about to put down his hand, Zhu Xiaozhu grabbed him, and then took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped it quickly, then put his little head under Zhu Jingting's slightly cool big hand.
"Father has worked hard!"
Looking at his daughter's sweet smiling face, Zhu Jingting suddenly felt that his eyes were a little sour.
Woo woo woo, baby daughter is so nice!
"Pearl, how the hell did you do that?"
The high walls of colourful casting held off all the water, and except for a slight shaking, there was no water at all.
Zhu Xiaozhu proudly puffed up her little chest, "Because of the sand and dirt contained in these cloths!" β
Wrapped in foreign objects, the mud and sand become the strongest fortress.
As long as this line of defense is not breached, they will be able to buy more time to deal with the flooding.
"Pearls are so smart! It turns out that the mud and sand wrapped in cloth still have this effect! β
Zhu Xiaozhu smiled, "Fortunately, there are many people who come to help us!" Otherwise, there is no way to prepare so quickly! β
Zhu Jingting looked up and found that most of the people who helped were refugees.
He sighed lightly, "Sure enough, there are many people with great strength, but Zhu'er doesn't listen to his father's words, and his father won't forget it!" β
βοΌοΌοΌβ
Zhu Xiaozhu: ...... Isn't that worth it?
In order to prevent Zhu Jingting from continuing this topic, Zhu Xiaozhu hurriedly transferred: "Where is Uncle Xu Yi now?" He knew that if the estuary burst, he should come over! β
When a woman with a beautiful face heard this, she stopped digging in the soil.
She rubbed the dirt on her hand on her clothes, and then hesitantly walked up to Zhu Xiaozhu and asked softly, "Little girl, are you the county lord of Mingzhu?" β
Hearing someone behind him ask, Zhu Xiaozhu immediately turned her head in confusion.
"Pretty sister, do you know me?"
Shang Qiudie nodded, "I...... I heard Xu Yi mention it, so where is Xu Yi now? β
Seeing the urgency in Shang Qiudie's eyes, Zhu Xiaozhu quickly knew who the person in front of him was.
"My sister is Uncle Xu Yi's fiancΓ©e!"
Shang Qiudie's face flushed slightly, even if it was muddy, it was still difficult to hide the bright color.
"He hasn't thought about it yet......"
Zhu Xiaozhu showed a look of sudden realization, turned her head and pulled Zhu Jingting's sleeve.
Zhu Jingting understood what Zhu Xiaozhu meant, "I'm Zhu Jingting, presumably Xu Yi also mentioned me to you, he knew that you were in Jiangling County, and he was looking for you non-stop just after he arrived here, and now I don't know where that kid is, just when you go back with us, I guess if he can't find you, he will be able to come back when it gets dark." β
After Shang Qiudie whispered "thank you", she took her parents and Zhu Xiaozhu into the carriage together.
Zhu Xiaozhu wanted to show her friendliness to them, but Shang Qiudie's family was too restrained, she said a word, and Shang Qiudie echoed it, without even a single punctuation mark!
The magistrate quickly settled everyone and prepared some simple food to entertain everyone.
Looking at the white-flour steamed buns and congee side dishes in front of them, everyone didn't mind at all.
It's good to have a bite to eat at this time.
Zhu Xiaozhu was drinking porridge while quietly observing Shang Qiudie, and she noticed that Shang Qiudie's eyes had been staring at the door.
It wasn't until the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the door that Zhu Xiaozhu obviously saw Shang Qiudie's eyes light up.
As Xu Yi, who was covered in mud, walked in, Shang Qiudie's eyes never looked away.
Looking at Shang Qiudie's expression, Zhu Xiaozhu remembered the appearance of her grandfather when he looked at his grandmother's photo, so focused and affectionate.
She used to yearn for that kind of love, but it's a pity that she is a career critic, and she really doesn't have this blessing!
"Lord Wang, I'm back!"
Xu Yi sat down with a grin, took the clean towel handed by the servant and wiped it briefly, only to notice that there was a face on the dinner table that he had been thinking about day and night.
"Autumn butterfly! How are you here! Xu Yi said in surprise.
Zhu Jingting laughed and patted Xu Yi on the shoulder, "It's probably fate, when Zhu'er figured out a way to block the river, she was also there, as soon as she heard us mention your name, she came over, but why did you kid roll in the mud?" β
Xu Yi scratched his head embarrassedly, "Didn't the estuary burst the embankment?" When I went to look for Autumn Butterfly, I happened to meet a few old people fleeing, so I took them on the way, but I didn't expect the ground to be too slippery and fell, and I accidentally became like this. β
The laughter of everyone sounded, and Zhu Xiaozhu covered her mouth and smiled: "Uncle Xu Yi, hurry up and eat something, and then go and whisper to your sister!" β
Xu Yi's swarthy face also turned red, he ate a steamed bun in two bites, drinking porridge was the same as drinking water, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and left with Shang Qiudie.
But the day is not over, Zhu Jingting hugged Zhu Xiaozhu and walked into the room where Su Bei and Xiaoliu were held.
As soon as Su Bei and Xiao Liu saw Zhu Jingting and Zhu Xiaozhu, their bodies couldn't stop trembling.
Zhu Jingting said coldly: "We can't eat people, what are you afraid of?" β
Subei and Xiaoliu: ...... Because you are more frightening than cannibalism!
Zhu Xiaozhu glanced at Zhu Jingting and knew his position in this conversation.
She's white-faced!
"Don't be nervous, uncles, as long as you answer my father's questions truthfully, my father will not embarrass you! But if you lie, no one will be able to save you! β
Zhu Xiaozhu smiled sweetly at the two of them, but the cold hairs of the two of them stood up with laughter.
Su Bei swallowed, "You ask...... As long as I know it, I'll tell you! β
Zhu Jingting directly took out a jade pendant and a thousand-eye mirror and put them on the table, "These two things are yours?" β
Su Bei shook his head, "This thousand eyepieces are, but I haven't seen a jade pendant." β
Hearing this, Zhu Jingting's hand tightened.
"And where did you get these thousand eyepieces? Why did you kidnap Xu Yi and ask for Zhu'er in exchange? β
Su Bei glanced at Zhu Xiaozhu cautiously, "Because we heard that the little county lord will build earth cannons...... That's why I want to arrest the little county lord and ask her to do a little ...... for us This is absolutely true! β
Zhu Xiaozhu raised his eyebrows, he can do earth cannon things, except for Zhu Jingting and his two elder brothers, only Yan Cijiu knows.
But she was confident that none of these people would reveal this to outsiders, so who else would know about it?
"Who told you?" Zhu Xiaozhu said curiously.
Su Bei shook his head, "We haven't met that person, but one day someone suddenly gave us a letter and a box of things." β
After speaking, Su Bei took out a letter and a few small black balls from his body.
Seeing those black balls, Zhu Xiaozhu's eyes immediately widened.
I'll go! Someone was ahead of her to make such a good bomb!
