The air is fresh and the breeze is blowing in your ears.

The continuous autumn rain finally stopped, and everything in the world was washed clean, except for the dirt.

Zhang said that when Xu Ci came back.

Cheng Shui was staring at the stone road in the yard, this well-designed house would naturally not appear, the road was muddy and difficult to get off the ground, but she remembered the road from Changliu Village to the town.

If you want to get rich, build roads first, and the ancestors will not deceive me.

She came back to her senses and smiled at Zhang: "It's been a long time since I saw Hui Niang, the weather is good today, let's go and visit the door." ”

said that it was a visit, in fact, because the Feng family was quite large, the Cheng family lived in the front courtyard, and the village chief Cheng lived in the west backyard a little farther away, and opened the door to enter and exit alone, Cheng Hui and her mother-in-law were all women and children, and Cheng Shui would not let them go outside, so he let them live in the east backyard.

It's a good house, and I live in three houses, because the yard is a little far from the yard, and there is no hindrance.

Zhang followed Cheng Shui with Changping in his arms, along the corridor, and before he arrived at Xu's house, he saw Xu Ci coming on.

"The head of the house." He arched his hand: "My son-in-law just changed his clothes and was about to see you." ”

"It's okay, you can relax." Cheng Shui waved his hand: "I haven't seen Huiniang for a long time, go see her." ”

Xu Ci naturally had nothing to do, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and walked back with Cheng Shui.

In the courtyard of the Xu family.

Cheng Shui unexpectedly saw a person: "Old naughty boy? ”

Hearing the voice, the old man turned his head, saw that it was Cheng Shui, and turned his head back. But he was not very reconciled, so he turned back and shouted at Cheng Shui with his waist crossed: "You old woman, you didn't let me go, and what did you do to detain me here!" ”

The young man next to him stood with his hands tied, as if it was none of his business.

Mother Li was coming out with a plate of pastries, and when she saw Cheng Shui, she hurriedly put it down and said, "Mother-in-law, you are here, come and sit." ”

Pulled Cheng Shui to sit down on the stone bench in the courtyard, and then pushed the pastry to her: "You taste it, this pastry house is still taught to me by the old god doctor." As he spoke, he picked up a piece and handed it to Zhang.

"Shu Niang also tastes it, this pastry is added with honey, and Changping can also eat it."

Seeing that she handed out the pastries to everyone, the old man was anxious: "That's mine, I haven't eaten it yet, leave some for me." As he spoke, he flew over and tried to snatch the pastry from Cheng Sailor's hand.

"Ahh Be careful! ”

"Old Divine Doctor!"

The old man was menacing, but he didn't expect that he was about to fall on Cheng Shui when he tripped over the stones under his feet, and there was nothing behind the stone bench that Cheng Shui was sitting on, and if he was knocked down, his head would definitely hit the ground heavily.

said that it was too late, Pei Xingze, who was silent on the side, took a step, bent down and lunged, grabbed the old man's back placket, pulled him back with a force in his hand, and stepped again, pushed the old man's back, and made him stand up straight.

"Whew~ It's dangerous." Mother Li couldn't help patting her chest: "Don't worry, the old doctor, there is still something in the kitchen, I have made a lot, I can't finish eating, I can take it away for you." ”

There was a false alarm, and everyone present couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Only Cheng Shui's surface does not change color, and the left is just a small fall. She looked at Pei Xingze on the side, "Thank you Shaoxia for saving me just now." ”

"It's okay, it's also my master's recklessness." The young man said lightly, his gaze falling on the old divine doctor.

The old man on the side shrunk his neck and stuffed the pastry into his mouth.

"Since the Xu family has a guest, our master and apprentice will leave first." After saying that, he wanted to leave.

Cheng Shui said loudly: "Wait." ”

She got up, walked up behind the young man and said, "I don't think you're a little afraid of me." ”

Although he had only met Pei Xingze twice, he wanted to leave every time he couldn't say a word, and he didn't dare to look at him with his eyes, Cheng Shui felt that his feelings would not go wrong.

"The head of the Li family laughed, you and I don't know each other, how can I be afraid of you, I just feel that it disturbs me a lot."

Despite saying that, Pei Xingze still didn't turn around.

Cheng Shui was not persecuted, so he looked at Xu Ci on the side and said, "Okay, then Xu Ci will send Shaoxia on my behalf." ”

The resignation should be.

There were no outsiders, Cheng Shui gossiped a few words with Li's mother, and went to the back room to see Cheng Hui and Xu Yatou.

After an afternoon of greetings, he returned to the front yard.

Of course, Xu Ci followed her to the study to resume her life.

In the study, Zhang prepared the tea to retreat.

Xu Ci took out the prepared stone and handed it to Cheng Shui: "Fortunately, the head of the family can rest assured." ”

Cheng Shui took the stone, she had seen countless iron products, but she had never really seen iron ore, so she couldn't help but look at it curiously.

Seeing this, Xu Ci took a sip of water, and without Cheng Shui opening his mouth, he told him in detail what he had seen and heard in this line.

“...... I saw a flash of red light in the fire, and I guessed that the iron ore was nearby, and sure enough, within a mile of it, I found a barren hillside with many such stones on it. ”

Cheng Shui nodded: "You have made a great contribution to this matter, can there be people around the iron mine?" ”

"No, it's closer to the river." Speaking of this, Xu Ci couldn't help but raise his head, he didn't say anything about almost dying in the river just now.

"The head of the family really expected things like a god, because of this rain, the water level of the river has skyrocketed, and the river has been dozens of meters wide."

"Oh, you're near." Cheng Shui smiled slightly.

"No, never."

Xu Ci waved his hand again and again, touching his nose and denying it.

He changed the subject and said, "Head of the family, what are we going to do next?" ”

"I'm going to build a stockade in the iron mine and find someone to mine it."

Speaking of which, Xu Cizi wants to ask.

"Who is the head of the house going to go to?"

"It's all right, just solicit it in the city when the time comes. Oh, by the way, it turns out that everyone in the Feng family is still being guarded, so let's go to mining too. ”

Cheng Shui said casually, Xu Ci was a little puzzled.

"The head of the family, this matter is so tense and cautious, how can anyone go casually!" He was a little anxious.

"Poof, what do you want, it's because you have to be cautious that you need the people of the town to go." Cheng Shui explained to him.

"Successive displaced people and heavy rains, the economy of this town cannot be restored for a while, but the people in the town have been robbed of food, and there is no way to continue, we only need more food and money to recruit people, and the relatives of these people are in the town, and they are not afraid of them running around and leaking secrets."

Xu Ci suddenly, he understood it at a glance, and drew inferences: "In this way, it is better to find a job for these idle people than to send food relief for nothing." ”

Thinking of this, he happily poured another cup of tea.

"Then this matter will be handed over to you, and the collected ore will be transported to the original Changliu Village, where it will be forged."

Cheng Shui grabbed the strong man, one by one.

simply, Xu Ci is not excluded.

He has been studying for many years and wants to have a place to show what he can do. If this is a peaceful and prosperous era, then sell it to the emperor's family, no, then you can also follow a Ming Lord.

He doesn't have to be an alliance with anyone, he can be at peace with whatever happens.

Life is to have work to do every day, work every day.
