Chapter 17 Rainstorm
"Hurry up and find a place to shelter from the rain!"

Along the way, Zhang Long, who had been calm and calm in the face of bandits, had his throat tightened at this moment, and he ordered loudly.

When everyone heard the heavy voice of the leader, they all knew the seriousness. They stopped sitting and gasping for breath, but turned over and scattered to find a place to shelter from the rain.

"Miss, if you can't find a suitable place for a while, we have brought a tent, and you will make do with it in the tent."

Su Zijin was puzzled, "Don't be too nervous if you have a tent? Let's squeeze together."

Zhang Long shook his head, "The torrential rain in the field is so powerful that ordinary tents can't hold it up, and people are needed to support the tent. You can stay in the tent at that time, and don't worry about it. If the rainstorm lasts too long in the field, it will Die from humidity. So, don’t try to be brave in the rain for a while, and keep dry, you know?”

Facing Zhang Long's deep voice, Su Zijin nodded slowly.This is not flat land, there are no villages and shops behind, deep in the middle of dense forests, and it is early autumn again.Although the autumn tiger is surprisingly hot right now, once the heavy rain pours down, the heat will soon disappear, and the freezing will follow.

Good and bad spirits, some guards scattered and ran back, "Boss, they are all trees, and there is no shelter from the rain!"

"It's all sloping land, the slope is gentle, and there is no shelter from the rain!"

"Boss, no!"

"Neither here!"

There was no sound, and there was a thunderous explosion, as if it was right above everyone's heads.

"I can't wait any longer. The horses are tied up. I won't be able to take care of the horses for a while. Put up the cowhide tent and let the lady go in first to shelter from the rain!"

Zhang Long was the first to take out the tent and asked others to set up the tent, while he propped up the tent with his hands to support Su Zijin to death.

Su Zijin stood in the center, pursed her lips, and obediently stayed where she was, without saying a word.

She couldn't say anything at this time.Do you want everyone to squeeze together instead of setting up a tent?Or in the face of the sudden and violent wind and rain, wrapping the fur and hardtop by yourself, sending the tent out, and saving one is counted as one?
It's useless to say it. At this time, their mission is to protect the Lord's house.Even if Su Zijin gave up the tent, no one would take his place. They would just leave the tent empty and let everyone get in the rain together.

Su Zijin was in the tent, listening to the wind and rain blowing, and the guards desperately pressed down on the corner of the tent he was guarding, preventing the wind and rain from pouring into the tent from his side.

Time seemed to slow down, Su Zijin sat in the tent, counting the beating of his own heart, unable to do anything.

"Boss! There's a family over there! Come!"

Through the wind and rain, the indistinct voice came from the crowd, which surprised everyone. Su Zijin ran out of the tent first, as long as there is someone else, "Uncle Zhang, go! Let everyone go that way separately, hurry up, don't wait!"

"Everyone listen to the order! Go to the nearest house, keep your eyes open, and don't get lost!"

"Here!"

Everyone should be here, and under the leadership of the leader, they walked quickly to a mountain depression.

Zhang Long and several nearby guards protected Su Zijin, walking down the mountain road that became muddy in an instant.

The mountains here are continuous and ups and downs. Before they found the house, they were groping around. Finally, when they arrived at the farmer's house, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was built here.

"I've set up all the firewood, come and enjoy the fire! Getting caught in the rain is no small matter at this time!"

The simple old farmer hurried in and out, taking out all the dry firewood in the house, as well as the bedding at home, as well as clay pots and bowls, and boiled hot ginger water to warm everyone's bodies.

Su Zijin shivered for a long time, and finally gradually felt his hands under the warmth of hot ginger water.

Everyone's blue complexion gradually turned and became rosy.

"Drink more ginger water, don't catch a cold!"

Seeing Su Zijin turning around, Zhang Long got up, inspected the fires one by one, and instructed everyone.

Everyone was in the main room of the old man's house, watching the thunder and lightning outside while warming the fire, and the wind and rain whistling. The wind and rain outside finally stopped after everyone used up all the firewood the old man had accumulated for the winter.The sweltering heat at noon seemed like a dream, but the cold today is reality.

There are only two rooms in this mountain hut, one is the main room where they live, and the other is the kitchen next to it.

Right now, it was impossible for everyone to disperse and rest, so they watched the fire with some ashes and talked.

"Do you feel unsatisfied as a nursing home? Shall I ask my father to arrange a future for you?"

Su Zijin said so suddenly.

Just now everyone risked their lives to protect her in the wind and rain, and of course she also had the idea of ​​repaying everyone.

Everyone was silent for a while.

Zhang Long said, "Miss, don't overestimate us. If we really have the temperament of desperately trying to get rid of it, then we won't retreat from the battlefield and come to the General's Mansion to enjoy peace."

"Yes, miss. We know that you are kind, but for us, it is enough to be on duty at the general's mansion every day and receive a monthly salary. If you ask me to go out to do something important, I don't think I can do it. It’s good to come to the mansion to bask in the sun and guard the gate. Besides, we are all satisfied with the seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister’s gate!”

"hey-hey…"

"what…"

The man said the truth, and everyone laughed.But this person is telling the truth, how capable they are, how much food they can eat, and how many people don't have a job as a guard in the general's mansion. If they are really allowed to be officials, they will feel guilty and can't afford that.After all, those who are really motivated and capable, the general has already picked them up.

Su Zijin also smirked along with the crowd, "I'm like you. My biggest wish is to keep the door open. It would be even better if the monthly payment was higher! But I have a bad temper and can't bear to be wronged. I don't think there is a master. I can stand me, and I haven't set my sights on anyone's gate to guard."

After hearing this, everyone just laughed, general and noble daughter, where can you guard the gate?Even the gate of His Majesty's palace cannot afford to use his own noble daughter.

As Su Zijin said, she couldn't help standing up. Everyone's eyes were on this little noble girl who was as small as a bean sprout. She was dressed in a piece of pure black and shiny lynx fur that had been shaken dry. Although she was small in stature, she was Her eyes were bright, and the gaze she glanced at made people feel bright and warm.

"However, you are all my Su family, and today you are protecting me wholeheartedly. Although our Su family is not a good family, our family tradition is still good. You are a good family after all, you are guarding my family, but the monthly income is low. A little bit."

"A lot, miss!"

Someone couldn't help it.

Su Zijin waved his hand, "My father paid for it. If you protect me today, I should give you an extra share. It is our master-servant friendship. It is agreed. In the future, when I earn money, I always leave a copy for you, do you believe me?"

Su Zijin turned around and looked at the people around him.

She was in a state of mind at this moment, probably because she had just passed through the gate of hell, and she always felt that she didn't say anything, didn't do anything, so she treated everyone as normal in the future, and something was missing.

Everyone looked at the little hostess, although they knew that she was still young, and the general gave them the money they spent, but they couldn't help being infected by her, "I believe it! Miss!"

"We all believe it!"

"Little bastards, your legs and feet are usually bad, but your mouth is sharp!" Zhang Long reprimanded suddenly, "You have already said it, let me say something!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Zhang Long looked at his young lady, "We all believe in you!"

Regardless of whether the general has a son or not, you will not return to the general's mansion after you get married, we old people believe in you!
Zhang Long thought.

Su Zijin's little thumb said, "Uncle Zhang, on behalf of everyone, I'll make a deal with you! Next year at the latest, I will definitely make up this month's money for you!"

"Okay! Pull the hook!"
