Chapter 85: Preparing for action at night
A tear flowed from the corner of Ah Fu's eyes, and he said in a guilty tone: "In the past, the old slave heard a lot of rumors about the second aunt who was not good, and the old slave was ignorant, and he believed it to be true, and he was embarrassed by the second aunt everywhere on weekdays. Now, the second aunt not only helped the old slave save his wife and baby, but also covered up his mistakes for the old slave, the old slave should be damned..."
He was about to slap himself.
Qi Tian shook his head and said with a tragic face: "There is no need to be like this, an excellent person like me will naturally cause a lot of gossip, and the innocent will be seriously injured by the evil words of the jealous villain, but I won't blame them, let alone you." ”
"Second aunt..."Ah Fu was completely overwhelmed by guilt, and old tears broke down.
Qi Tian patted Ah Fu on the back to show comfort, and said, "It's okay to cry, but be quiet and don't attract the attention of others... Don't forget tomorrow, just go alone, I'll arrange the rest. ”
Ah Fu nodded slowly, biting the sleeve of his shirt with his mouth, trying to suppress the guilt and emotion.
Qi Tian walked out of the firewood room and walked towards his room.
As he passed by a tall tree in the garden, a figure suddenly flashed out and stood in front of him.
"Holy!" he startled, and instinctively exclaimed.
Since the figure was covered in shadows by the moonlight, he could only see the general outline of the figure.
"You're afraid of ghosts?" asked the figure.
Qi Tian listened to a very familiar voice, and a wave of anger suddenly rose in his heart, "Xia Xinyue!
The figure that suddenly appeared was Xia Xinyue.
"Pretending to be a ghost to scare you, where am I pretending to be a ghost?" Xia Xinyue pinched her skirt with both hands and circled in place.
Qi Tian looked at Xia Xinyue's face that couldn't find the slightest flaw, as well as the blue dress he wore during the day, and said depressedly: "It's so late, why don't you sleep yet?"
"There's been so much going on in the house lately, I can't sleep. Xia Xinyue's tone was a little worried.
Qi Tian said helplessly: "Since the affairs in the house are now in the hands of the little sister, you don't have to worry, besides... You can't sleep, but I can, okay, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room and sleep first. ”
After speaking, he didn't miss the graceful figure in front of him at all, and walked towards his room.
Xia Xinyue slowly turned around, looked at Qi Tian's back, and muttered to herself: "Is it really the little sister who cares?" If the Xia family can get out of the predicament this time, I will coil the hair for you." ”
Early the next morning, Qi Tian and Xia Qingxue hurried out of the house and ran out of the city on a high-headed horse.
Qi Tian was the same as before, with a comfortable face on Xia Qingxue's back, and his hands were tightly squeezing the two soft balls.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, wake up, we're here!" Xia Qingxue found that her brother-in-law was asleep behind her back.
"Hmm... So fast?" Qi Tian sat up with sleepy eyes.
"Brother-in-law, your hand can be put down, I have pain there. Xia Qingxue looked at her chest and said.
Qi Tian let out an "oh", pinched it instinctively, and then put down his hand and said apologetically: "Hey, I didn't sleep well last night, and in the past few days, I have planned a few nights for the Xia family to regain its strength, ah... Slow down the snow, I'm afraid of heights..."
Xia Qingxue grabbed it with her backhand, directly lifted Qi Tian up, and gently put it on the ground, and then turned over and dismounted, and said, "Brother-in-law has worked hard, you are Qingxue's best brother-in-law." ”
Qi Tian was "pleased" and touched Xia Qingxue's long black and silky hair.
"Boss!"
There was a shout from the mountain.
Soon Ah Niu ran down naked, holding a hammer in one hand and an awl in the other, covered in dust, and said in surprise: "Boss, why did you come suddenly?"
Qi Tian glanced at Ah Niu, and then looked at the mountain, where hundreds of people were "clanging" on the ground under the scorching sun.
The mountain road of several hundred meters has been repaired to the bottom of the mountain in just a few days.
"I have something to do with Uncle Nine. Qi Tian said lightly.
"Uncle Nine is organizing people to build a shed on the mountain, I'll take the boss there now. Ah Niu happily ran up the mountain.
Although the mountain road is still a little potholed, there are no boulders and sand, and the road is quite flat.
As Qi Tian walked up the mountain, he saw someone using a wooden cart to transport huge rocks and broken sand to the mountain.
It seems that these stones and sand were used to build the hilltop castle.
When Qi Tian climbed to the top of the mountain, the original uneven top of the mountain was all newly dug out of the flat ground, and at a glance, there were nearly 100 acres.
On the flat ground, dozens of temporary wooden huts and stone houses have been erected, and wooden piles and iron pots have been erected in front of the houses, which has quite a breath of life, like a fledgling city!
A thick wall has been erected around the top of the hill to enclose the entire flat hilltop, and although the wall is not high at this time, only about one meter, but in time, the strong and majestic castle is in front of you.
A tall and thin old man, wearing a yellow straw hat, was holding a drawing in one hand and directing a young strong man to stack the cut stones on the city wall.
Ah Niu wanted to go over and call Uncle Jiu, but was stopped by Qi Tian.
Qi Tian quietly walked over to Uncle Nine and stood behind him.
"Hey, put the stone lightly, it hasn't been watered with mud yet, it's too hard to break!"
"Hurry up and stir the mud, today be sure to build the north wall to a height of three meters, so that you can block some sea breeze, you don't have to worry about being blown off the quilt when you sleep at night!"
Qi Tian gently patted Uncle Jiu's shoulder.
"Who is so mischievous that you dare to pat the old man on the shoulder! Hey! Boss! Why are you here?"
At first, Uncle Nine thought that a young man was playing a prank on him, but when he turned his head, it turned out to be Qi Tian!
"Of course, I want to inspect and supervise your work!
Uncle Nine smiled "haha", knowing that Qi Tian was joking, "Boss, you are in such a hurry, is there something wrong?"
Qi Tian gave Uncle Nine an appreciative look and said, "There's something, by the way, how about the last time I told you to find a martial arts sect leader to teach everyone to practice martial arts?"
Uncle Nine raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and pointed to a wooden house, and said: "Boss, there is a person here, the day after you came back from Yunwang Mountain, he came to the mountain alone, Ah Niu said that he knew him, he was a friend of the boss, and he was placed in that room by the old man, I can see that he is a martial arts person, although he is not a legendary master of the rivers and lakes, but he should also have a little kung fu." ”
Qi Tian frowned, looked at the wooden house suspiciously, he didn't remember to let any acquaintances come to the mountain, and then walked towards the wooden house.
