Chapter 119: Intentions
Li Xiuyuan didn't understand what the brick workshop had to do with Bai Xia's trip to Lijia Village.
Bai Xia picked up the cup and took a sip of water, rolling her eyes inwardly.
It's not that she can't go to Lijia Village, it's just that she went to Lijia Village, and Li Xiuyuan's safety can't be guaranteed.
Her mission is to protect Li Xiuyuan and help him walk to the results set by the Heavenly Dao.
And the Heavenly Dao set him to be the emperor, so the person who secretly poked and coveted his identity behind his back must be found.
Listening to Li Xiuyuan's description, when he died, the other party was still a young man, about thirty years old, and compared to Li Xiuyuan's current age, the other party is likely to be a teenager who has not yet reached the weak crown.
Or just an adult.
For a person of this age, if Li Xiuyuan is to be imprisoned for twelve years, it is unlikely that he will be too poor in the first place, otherwise there would be no such place to lock people up.
The other party could find out Li Xiuyuan's identity in his previous life and imprison him, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be discovered in advance in this life.
If she just walked with her front foot, and the other party hit the door with her back foot, and then arrested Li Xiuyuan, then she would really be a bolt.
Or the other party was ruthless and killed Li Xiuyuan directly, and she had no place to cry.
So she wanted to wait for the brick workshop to be built and the first batch of bricks to be burned, and then set off to Lijia Village.
Of course, these are just the thoughts in her own heart, and she can't let Li Xiuyuan know.
After all, whoever knows that a person is good to you is entirely because of the task, no one will be happy.
"It's nothing, it's just a matter of concern"
"I think about going to Lijia Village, it's not early, let's go to bed early"
Bai Xia didn't plan to tell Li Xiuyuan what she was dreaming about, the weather outside was very good, and it didn't rain when it thundered, so it seemed that the rain couldn't easily fall.
Bai Xia opened the door with a lantern, and when she left, Li Xiuyuan reacted, hurriedly chased to the door, and shouted, "You haven't said what you have to do with me?" ”
He hadn't forgotten that he met Bai Xia on the way to find her, she came to his room in the middle of the night, obviously had something to say, and now that she hadn't said anything, why did she leave.
Bai Xia waved his hand and didn't reply.
Originally, she came to ask him about his previous life, but she thought about it, and if he didn't say it this time, she would hang him up and beat him up to see if he said it.
Who knew that he was so self-conscious, and he didn't wait for her to ask, so he said it himself.
Then there is no need for her to stay.
This night, Li Xiuyuan and Bai Xia didn't sleep well, and Wu Ziying, who was on the other side, was also awakened by the thunder, and stayed in front of the wide-open window, blowing a cold wind all night.
Early the next morning, the sun was rising, but there was no movement in the house of Bai Xia and the three of them.
The bolt mother cooked a pot of porridge, even if it was hot, the porridge had already cooled, and the few of them hadn't gotten up yet.
"I can really sleep."
Usually in Baixia, they don't need to be called to get up, but when they see that no one gets up, the bolt mother has no idea of asking someone to get up, so she put the porridge in the pot and warmed it, took a hoe by herself, and went to the ground with the bolt father.
The bolt was assigned by Li Xiuyuan to repair the brick workshop and went out early in the morning.
At this moment, in Bai Xia's house, only the three of them were still asleep.
I was awakened by a dream in the middle of the night, and I had insomnia after Bai Xia, and I slept until mid-afternoon, when I was called by Li Xiuyuan, I got up earlier, and I got up at noon, ate the porridge in the pot, and went to the brick mill, checked the construction progress of the brick mill, and came back after not staying long.
As soon as I walked to the gate, I saw the bolt girl sitting under the eaves, holding a pair of soles in her hands, and her eyes looked into the courtyard from time to time.
"Aunt Lin, is there something wrong?"
Looking at her appearance, she was still a little anxious on her face, afraid that she was watching if Bai Xia and the two of them had gotten up.
Thinking that he was borrowing to live here, it was also necessary to share Bai Xia's worries with them, so he stepped forward to ask.
The bolt mother was a little anxious in the morning, but this will be more anxious, she followed her old man to the field today, and then I heard the women in the Liu clan say that they had no food there, and the big guy only filled with water this morning.
Whoever takes in these villagers will have to provide them with food.
There was still some grain left in the village before, and Bai Xia took out some more, but after more than ten days, the grain had already been eaten.
The food of more than 100 people a day, even if it is only one meal, is not enough to squander.
At this moment, Bai Xia and they didn't get up, and when they saw this Miss Wu family, the bolt lady stood up a little restrained, pinched the soles of her shoes with both hands, and said nervously: "Miss Wu, is it ...... It's not enough food."
"Not enough food?"
"I heard from the old man of my family that those people from the Liu clan had nothing to eat this morning."
Wu Ziying was silent, no wonder when she went to the brick mill, she found that the construction progress of the brick mill today was much slower, and the people were not very energetic.
"I see"
"You go get busy first, I'll talk to Sanya and Brother Yuan"
The bolt mother had a heart, knowing that her two masters were generous to this young lady of the Wu family who was rescued from the bandit's nest, and she was not afraid that she would not tell Bai Xia and the others, and she would not stay at the gate of the courtyard when she heard the words, so she went to the kitchen to fetch water to make food.
There is no food on the clan's side, but Bai Xia still has a lot of food at home, and in a short period of time, at least they will not lack food.
Thinking of this, the bolt mother also relieved herself.
Wu Ziying entered the courtyard and walked towards Li Xiuyuan's room, regardless of whether he woke up or not, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Li Xiuyuan had a nightmare, he couldn't sleep anymore, and he read a book in the middle of the night, and he didn't fall asleep until it was getting brighter, and he was woken up by a knock on the door, so he slowly opened his eyes.
Because I didn't sleep well, I had big dark circles in both eyes, and one side of my head suddenly hurt.
"Who?"
His voice was a little hoarse, with the confusion of having just woken up.
There was a pause in the knocking on the door, and a pleasant sound sounded outside.
"It's me"
"Miss Wu" Li Xiuyuan got up and opened the door and let Wu Ziying in, looking a little confused.
"Brother Yuan, a brick kiln has been repaired in the brick mill, and if we want to burn bricks, we have to prepare materials for making bricks."
Li Xiuyuan poured himself a glass of cold water, and his somewhat confused head was a little more sober, and he walked out of last night's dream.
Wu Ziying had told him about this before, but he wanted to build the brick kiln first, and now that the brick kiln has been built, it is really time to consider the matter of Guanyin soil.
Oh, Guanyin soil is clay, it is the main material for burning bricks and refining embryos, without clay, it is difficult for this brick to burn.
In this world, there is a shortage of food, and many people live by eating Guanyin soil, but the group of refugees who followed Li Xiuyuan have not eaten it, so everyone doesn't know where there is Guanyin soil near here.
"How to prepare? Didn't everyone in the neighborhood send someone to see it, and there was no clay? ”
"I'm going to take someone down the mountain to find it"
Wu Ziying said her decision, which she had thought about a long time ago.
When she first escaped, she didn't think that she would be caught by the bandits, and the servants and maids all died, although Li Xiuyuan and Bai Xia were very good to her, but she still had her own things to do.
If she finds the clay and burns the bricks earlier, she can retire successfully, and it can be regarded as repaying Bai Xia and Li Xiuyuan for saving their lives.
