I just don't know who the general specially recalled Fu Rong in order to investigate thoroughly.

——

In the past two days, Zheng Quqi has encountered another headache.

She had to look for suitable clay for the bricks around Fuxian, where the large loess soil was about to be hollowed out, forming a large depression.

If you continue to dig, there is too much sand and gravel at the bottom, and it is not suitable.

In order not to delay the production of her green bricks, she had to quickly find a suitable clay production area.

She also asked the engineer to look for it a little further away, and she herself carried a small hoe and dug around the nearby riverbed and dry lake.

Tiangong Kaiwu records that all the mud bricks are also dug to identify the color of the soil, or blue or white or red or yellow, all of which are sticky but not scattered, powder but not sand.

She followed the description on it.

She's used to working on the construction site, and she's not afraid of getting dirty.

Whenever you see a dark blue or yellow mud pit, you will jump down, get rid of the layer of sand on the surface, dig some deeper to collect wet mud, and test the stickiness of the soil with its feel.

She also found a patch of red mud hidden in a bog, but when she dug around, she didn't estimate the amount.

During this period, Li Shi has been silently following behind her, watching her climb mountains and wade through rivers, busy searching.

He is still dressed today in thick and rich clothes.

The hooded mink coat, holding a copper hand stove with a cover on the outside of the furnace, compared with Zheng Quqi, a clay leg in a coarse cloth jacket, he is as delicate as a jade bottle, with a delicate temperament and a cold expression.

He stood on the slope and watched Zheng Quqi digging with his hunched back down, muddy everywhere below his ankles.

"Why do you have to do so much to Yu Wensheng?"

Zheng Quqi saw that he was hiding far away, for fear that the mud would splash on him, he was obviously so disgusted, but he wanted to follow her to the mountains and the soil, adding dust.

I don't know why Yu Wensheng released him, obviously he took Qiu away with him at the beginning, so he couldn't be interrogated properly?

At present, she and the other engineers are in charge of the fortifications of the city wall, if he thinks the same as before, and intends to stir up trouble, won't it affect her?

Thinking about it this way, he should follow if he wants, at least keep people under his nose, and monitor his movements.

If she wasn't worried that when she told Master Li the secret, he would expose the secret that she was a woman after he found out, and maybe he would mention the "life-saving grace" with her again, then her innocence would really be washed away by jumping into the Yellow River.

She is already stained, she has a lot of criminal records, and now she can't get anything to do with him as a suspicious person, if Yu Wensheng knows, how can she live?

Why is her newly opened life so bitter.

The trouble is that the stubble is cut and stubble, endlessly, right?

"If you don't try your best, Yu Wensheng can tear me apart." She replied as she worked.

"He's so violent and unreasonable, so you're still working for him?"

To say, from time to time, there will be a kind of immortal aura on Li Shi's body that does not eat the fireworks of the world and does not understand the world's feelings, Zheng Quchi secretly slandered, if this brother didn't live on the high mountain that everyone worshipped before, then it must be in the isolated Gaopeng Deep Palace.

Listening to this, it is said that there is enough people in sight, as if he is saying that once the king of this country is unkind, he can immediately change another position.

Zheng Quqi said angrily: "If you don't sell your life, you can't do it, I'm afraid of death." ”

Li Shi was stunned.

I guess he has never seen anyone who can take his greed for life and fear of death for granted.

After all, among the people around him, none of them are iron-clad and regard death as home, and even some of them will think that it is a thing worthy of praise and praise to be able to die for the cause they pursue and the truth they defend.

But he did not despise Zheng Quqi's thinking, people live proudly and unyieldingly, and naturally they can live a life of stealth, which is not a conflict.

"Sang Xuanqing, where did you learn these things? At your age, if it weren't for someone who spent a lot of time and energy teaching, you shouldn't have the accumulation you have today. ”

Zheng Quchi was amazed at his point, isn't she just educated for more than ten or twenty years to have the current her.

In the past, when she read ancient Chinese and tasted the lives of historical figures in books, she had a feeling that if she was thrown into these piles one day, she would definitely be the kind of cannon fodder in TV series that could not survive even one episode.

"Of course someone taught, but I only know these things, I don't know martial arts, I don't know how to lead troops to fight, I don't know how to conspiracy, I don't know how to weave cloth and sew clothes, I don't know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I don't know how to sow seeds and cultivate land, sometimes I think that in addition to doing fortifications, I don't seem to be as good as other men and women."

Li Shi heard her say this, but he did not feel her inferiority complex and self-mockery, but had a kind of self-affirmation hidden under humility.

In her eyes, there is a way, a goal and a direction.

Li Shi suddenly envied her a little, and he also softened his heart towards her.

He said, "You don't want me to destroy the fortifications of the city wall this time?" ”

Seeing that he took the initiative to mention this, Zheng Quqi immediately came to his senses.

She straightened up and said to him with a serious expression, "Well, I don't know why you did this, but now that General Yuwen has handed it over to me, if you do anything that will damage the construction period, I will also be unlucky with you." ”

"If you are just worried about Yu Wensheng's questioning, I can guarantee that I can take you out of Ye Country unharmed." Li Shi said.

But Zheng Quqi shook his head: "I'm not going anywhere, my home is in Fu County, and I never planned to leave my hometown and go to wander somewhere else." ”

Li Shi understood.

She is not only "greedy for life and afraid of death", but also afraid of "being a stranger in a foreign land".

Seeing that Li Shi was silent, Zheng Quqi also knew that it was not so easy to persuade him to "stop", but she felt that he didn't have to "make a move", otherwise when he dealt with the Mo family, why not take advantage of the situation, first ask them to blow up the city wall, and then arrest people and send Yu Wensheng.

The purpose of his desire to destroy the city wall should be different from that of the Mo family.

But she couldn't guess exactly what he wanted to do and when he planned to do it.

"Speaking of which, recently...... I always feel a little flustered inexplicably. Zheng Quqi let out a long breath.

"Panic? Are you sick? ”

She gave him a blank look, what kind of straight man was this.

But she didn't know, there was always an inexplicable feeling urging her not to stop, once she stopped, people were a little unstable.

She looked at the sky.

The sky darkened, the wind rose suddenly, and the dark clouds were poured into the low air from the southwest, and it was cold to the bone.

"Huh? Is it about to change? ”

I was sweating all over my body just now, but now I was blown by the southwest wind, and I went around my neck and poured it into my back, and I did feel a little cold.

"It's going to snow."

Li Shi raised his eyes, his brows frowning into a Sichuan character.

Zheng Quqi rubbed the dry mud on his hands, and couldn't help but feel strange when he looked at his obvious irritable and forbearant expression.

This iceberg will also show its popularity.

After some observation, her eyes lit up: "You...... Aren't you afraid of the cold? ”

Li Shi's lips were pale at the moment, and his always cold and white face was also a little purple and blue, his lips were pursed into a straight line, and he held back for a long time before he said: "Beiyuan Country, the four seasons are everyspring, and it never snows." ”

Zheng Quqi laughed happily, and she suddenly said: "You are originally a southerner, it's no wonder, you can't stand this kind of climate." However, our Fuxian County is not considered a big north, and since the beginning of winter, there has been some light snow. ”

I especially remember that the first snow since the beginning of winter was when it fell at night, and she listened to the snow falling with "Liu Fengmian".

Speaking of "Liu Fengmian", she was so busy during this time that she couldn't even fart, and she didn't have time to care about his business.

I don't know where he is now, if he is still on a mission, has he ever been home?

Seeing that she has been away from home for more than a month, and it is not a few days before Zhengdan (Chinese New Year), she should be able to go home.

She had already sent her home as a stonemason's salary, and she didn't know if the eldest brother had received the money, so he was so happy that he immediately ran to kill a pig to marinate and smoke bacon.

In fact, the lifestyle here in Fuxian County is similar to that of Yunnan-Guichuan, every year every year on New Year's Day, every household will go to buy New Year's goods in advance, and there are New Year's fairs in the county and villages, which are very lively.

She thought that before going home, she had to buy some red paper, incense candles, snacks, candy, and toys to bring back, and the toys were taken to coax her sister, and as for the other shortcomings, she would go home and discuss with her eldest brother and Fengmian before buying them together.

She smirked at the thought of people.

But it was clear that Guiqi Ridge was so close to Hegou Village, but she didn't have time to go back for so long...... The smile on her lips was a little helpless, and she suddenly felt a little homesick.

"What are you thinking?" Master Li came down the slope.

Seeing that the sky had changed, she no longer continued to survey the clay, and planned to go home.

Picked up the little hoe: "It's not about to happen, I'll hand over it to the workers in the past two days, and I'll go home for the New Year, what about you?" ”

As soon as Li Shi heard "Zhengdan", he realized that the New Year was approaching, no wonder the saw had been urging him to go back to Fuxian County during this time, saying that on Xingwan's bookcase, the letters sent by Beiyuan were almost piled up.

In the past, "Zhengdan" was a big deal, but this year he didn't plan to go back, if he really returned to Beiyuan, he was afraid that Yu Wensheng would let Gong Yilan be in a different place in the next moment.

This time, it was he who miscalculated.

He really thought that with the infatuation of the public loser, coupled with the prestige and reputation of the public loser, he would definitely make Yu Wensheng marry the public loser, but he didn't want him to refuse.

He knows Gong Yilan, she has been attentive to Yu Wensheng for many years, even if he forcibly takes her away, she will definitely find another opportunity to return to Yu Wensheng.

Therefore, he still has to find a way to make Yu Wensheng have to marry Gongyilan.

He had a plan for this matter, that is, he wanted to find an opportunity to destroy the city wall, with the help of the hand of the original entourage and the silver owl, just because he couldn't completely fight with Yu Wensheng on the surface, so that the public lost Lan is half a chance.

Once Fuxian lacked the city wall in the area of Guiqiling, and the situation was critical, he would have a chance to take advantage of it.

There are more than 10 million powerful craftsmen under his hands, and with grace, it is enough to force Yu Wensheng to bow his head in exchange for the safety of the border of Ye State.

It's just that...... All the circumstances, after meeting Sang Xuanqing, deviated from his original plan.

To say that he is not half dissatisfied with her, it is false, her birth made him unprecedented, unwilling to retreat, and in a dilemma.

If it were someone else, he would have made her disappear from this world without a trace.

But this person is her.

There is not much time left for Gongyi Lan to get close to Yu Wensheng, how can he make his sister's long-cherished wish come true.

Li Shi looked into her eyes with a pair of glassy azure eyes, and asked lightly, "Don't you take me with you?" ”

Zheng Quqi sounded strange: "Why should I take you?" ”

Master Li said in a light tone as if he was determined: "Then aren't you worried that I will take advantage of your absence to do something to the work for which you have paid so much?" ”

It's a threat!

The threat of the red fruit!

Damn, she's really worried.

“…… If you don't have anything to do, you can also go home with me for the New Year, there are many people, isn't this just a matter of having an extra pair of chopsticks. She invited very insincerely.

Li Shi looked at her quietly for a moment, but saw that her brows were depressed, and the little black face was no longer as relaxed as before, his eyes flashed slightly, and the aura of vaguely oppressive and powerful before was like being punctured by a needle, and it dissipated in an instant.

"I'm kidding, if you don't want to, I won't go."

He lowered his eyes and said softly.

Hearing him say this, Zheng Quqi was a little embarrassed.

Although he is a dangerous person, he hasn't done anything bad yet, and not long ago, he helped her so much after all, she can't turn her face too quickly, let's turn it slowly.

"Also, there is no reluctance, but my family is small, if you spend the night, you can only sleep in a room with my brother, I am mainly afraid of wronging you."

Li Shi seemed to believe her false statement, and his frozen pale face warmed up a little: "It's okay, I don't have to sleep." ”

"...... "You don't have to sleep, so powerful?" Do you think you are a sea lantern mage?

Having said that, wouldn't it be too rude for her to take this lonely man home if she didn't take it home?

——

However, before returning home for the New Year, Zheng Quqi had to face a serious incident to be dealt with.

That is, if "Sang Xuanqing" goes home for the New Year, what will her sister "Zheng Quqi" do? So if "Zheng Quqi" goes home for the New Year, what will "Sang Xuanqing" do?

No, even when the family is reunited during the New Year, you still have to visit relatives......

No, she still has to think about it, think about it.

——

By the time Zheng Quqi and Li Shi returned to the construction site, it had already snowed lightly, but fortunately, the snow was not heavy and did not affect the start of construction.

"Ahh

"Be careful! Be careful! ”

"Attention people below, someone slipped and fell!"

In the distance, the panicked shouts of the craftsmen could be heard.

Zheng Quqi heard the noise from afar, and before he had time to see what was happening, he immediately rushed over.

When they arrived at the place of the incident, they saw a commotion around them, and everyone looked up anxiously, only to see that on the slope above, a person was rolling and falling uncontrollably.

Zheng Quqi saw it, and knew that there was a skidding accident, like this kind of rain and snow, if someone climbs and moves without tying a safety rope, this kind of accident is most likely to happen.
