Chapter 104: New Demand
Tang Shishi, who originally wanted to continue to quietly knock candy, was so embarrassed to continue to sit still, so soon, only her and Yun Zhao were left in Zhen Xiaomei's courtyard.
"Sure enough, you're the best for me." Zhen Xiaomei didn't call someone to come over to clean up the table as soon as possible, but took a step sideways and sat directly beside Yun Zhao. The two were side by side, and Zhen Xiaomei's head had already leaned against Yun Zhao's ear.
Smelling the faint fragrance close at hand, Yun Zhao's whole body froze, and his face, neck, and ears gradually turned red involuntarily.
Zhen Xiaomei, who was already six or seven points drunk, didn't realize how intimate her action was, and she said to Yun Zhao, who was about to turn into a stone statue: "Yun Zhao, I want to eat fish, but I don't want to pick thorns." โ
Yun Zhao subconsciously picked up the chopsticks when he heard this, "Then I'll help you pick them." โ
By picking fish bones for Zhen Xiaomei, Yun Zhao avoided Zhen Xiaomei's warm breath without a trace.
It's not that he doesn't want to be close to Zhen Xiaomei, it's that he's afraid that he won't be able to restrain the strange impulse in his body_(:ะท"โ )_
After the night he held hands with Zhen Xiaomei, Yun Zhao always couldn't help but want to get close to her and touch her, but it was precisely because he cared too much that Yun Zhao never dared to act rashly according to his wishes.
More than once he wanted to take the initiative, and more than once he tried to restrain his desperate urge to approach her and touch her.
He told himself that he should wait for Zhen Xiaomei to come over by herself, no more, just one step. As long as Zhen Xiaomei was willing to take one more step towards him, he would not hesitate to run and complete the remaining ninety-nine steps at his fastest speed.
But when Zhen Xiaomei really took one more step towards him, Yun Zhao was trying harder to restrain his impulses.
He wanted to choose a suitable time to confess his heart to Zhen Xiaomei when she was conscious, and wanted to enter the palace of marriage with Zhen Xiaomei when she fell in love with each other and determined that she must be the other party in this life, instead of taking advantage of Zhen Xiaomei's drunkenness.
Yun Zhao restrains himself so seriously, looking funny and cute, Zhen Xiaomei wants to provoke him and tease him even more.
She relied on the fact that she was now in a "drunk" state, and asked Yun Zhao to pick fish bones for her for a while, and asked Yun Zhao to serve her sobering soup for a while.
After drinking, Zhen Xiaomei dozed off lazily against Yun Zhao as if she had no bones.
Yun Zhao asked her to go back to the house to sleep, but Zhen Xiaomei said that she wanted to see the stars and bathe in the moonlight.
In addition to being honest with him, what else can Yun Zhao do?
He blushed the whole time, and sat at the stone table with Zhen Xiaomei snuggled up to each other, looking up at the crescent moon and stars in the sky together.
Unlike him, Zhen Xiaomei was not only not nervous at all, but was also in the mood to express her opinions on Yun Zhao's dress, she said: "By the way, Yun Zhao, I think you look better in azure or lake blue than white." โ
Yun Zhao went out with her before, not only did the two change their appearance, but their clothes were also deliberately selected in a different color from usual, Zhen Xiaomei saw Yun Zhao wearing azure and lake blue at that time.
Yun Zhao didn't pay much attention to these himself, he responded to Zhen Xiaomei as if he was appeased, "Then I'll wear it a few more times in the future." โ
When Zhen Xiaomei heard him say this, her smile suddenly became brighter.
The two chatted without saying a word, and chatted until Zhen Xiaomei yawned, and then Yun Zhao sent the person back to the house to wash and rest.
After settling the newcomers and spending more than three months cleaning up a large number of boundary erosion insects, Zhen Xiaomei put the shipbuilding matter on the agenda.
Since there were no boats, this time they cleaned up the Boundary Eaters, and they took the method of expanding southeast along the seashore.
This may seem like a fine problem at first glance, but it can put pressure on the defence later.
That is, now Yun Zhao and Zhen Xiaomei have cultivated a lot of martial artists who can come in handy, and they and Ye Wu are quite capable of fighting, otherwise Zhen Xiaomei would not dare to take any roundabout path.
Relying on the knowledge from the interstellar age, Zhen Xiaomei gathered some carpenters, blacksmiths and other craftsmen, and asked them to try to build a larger and stronger ship according to the ideas and drawings she provided.
In terms of the craftsmanship of this era, even if these ships are built, of course, they cannot be directly pulled to the front line to face the enemy, but if they are only allowed to help transport supplies in relatively safe waters, or anchored in a fixed place, it is no problem to serve as a support point for the formation.
And as long as they can do these two things well, the worries of Zhen Xiaomei and others can be completely solved. They no longer have to worry about their back roads being cut off, and they no longer have to worry that supplies will not be able to keep up, or that the injured will not be able to be transported back to land in time for treatment and recuperation.
After establishing the shipyard and weapon manufacturing workshop, Zhen Xiaomei and Yun Zhao once again set their sights on the endless sea.
They first went to Yunlai County, and met with Li Tianqi, who has now taken over the affairs of Yunlai County, to learn more about the current situation in Yunlai County, and then quietly left Yunlai County and went to the abyss of the Fire Domain to see Moyang.
The Fire Abyss is adjacent to Yanzhou, located at the southernmost point of the Land of Kyushu, and is actually not close to the Endless Sea located in the easternmost part of the Land of Kyushu, if Wei Lan's Baicaozhuang is not in Wenzhou in the southeast, if there is no Moyang in the Fire Abyss, Zhen Xiaomei and Yun Zhao will not consider extending their sphere of influence there at the first time.
After the wool (population) of Qiongzhou and Fenghe County, Wenzhou, which is closest to the Endless Sea, they can also go to other counties in Wenzhou, which is the closest to the Endless Sea, as well as the counties and towns under the jurisdiction of Lianzhou in the northeast, to continue their activities.
The two of them took a shortcut along the vast wasteland they had cleared and hurried to the abyss of the Fire Domain.
On the way, Zhen Xiaomei witnessed the world from ice and snow to spring all year round, and then to the magical scene where the temperature gradually rises and the land becomes barren again.
The further south they went, the more they couldn't wear the clothes they were. When they arrived at the edge of the abyss of the Fire Domain, Zhen Xiaomei not only didn't have to use internal force to keep out the cold, but also took off the padded robe on her body and changed into a coarse cloth single coat prepared in advance.
Of course, this doesn't mean that the Fire Abyss is more habitable than the Endless Sea.
After following Yun Zhao to the abyss of the Fire Domain for less than an hour, fine and dense sweat broke out on Zhen Xiaomei's forehead. She walked for about half an hour with the burning breath that was becoming more and more obvious, and the ground beneath her feet began to become scorching.
