Ma'am help, the general is in trouble again

Chapter 174
Zheng Quchi looked up, and a black shadow fell out of control. He waved his helpless arms and leaned back. She subconsciously held the iron chain tightly with one arm, and stretched out her other hand to catch it——

The man rolled into her arms smoothly and unmistakably, hitting her soft flesh with pain.

Fortunately, she had made corresponding protection on her chest, otherwise she might have been hit by such a violent collision.

"Thanks, thank you for saving me."

The man was gasping for breath, with lingering fears in his heart, but he still thanked her in a weak voice at the first moment.

Zheng Quchi turned his head and looked over, he was a very young man, about eighteen or nine years old, at the age between youthful and adult men.

With willow brows and almond eyes, a round oval face, the overall appearance is slightly feminine, and looks quite lacking in masculinity.

She thought inappropriately at this time, Yu Wensheng took off his general uniform on weekdays and looked sickly and gentle, but how could he not be as sissy as him?

"You're welcome, take it easy."

The subtext, if you are well, get away from me quickly, the weight of Bai Lai is pressing on you, this is not a joke.

The man woke up startled, and quickly grabbed the iron chain. His sleeves slid down to his elbows, revealing a slender white wrist.

"I got it," he said softly.

If you catch it well, you can catch it, and why did you tell me on a special trip?People just move away.

Zheng Quchi felt that it was not good to ignore him, so he said "um": "Then be careful yourself, don't fall again."

Seeing that he was fine, she was not interested in asking how he fell, so she continued to climb up the rock wall.

After seeing her save him, she didn't say any extra words, as if it was just such a simple matter, not worth mentioning, the man was also a little dazed, opening and closing his mouth, hesitating and hesitating.

The mountain has been chiseled with stone ladders step by step. When pulling the iron cable upwards, you can step on the stone ladder to borrow a little strength.

Ordinary people, as long as they pay attention not to slip their feet, there is basically no serious danger, except that they are a little tired during the climbing process.

But for a craftsman who has been doing heavy labor all year round, Zheng Quchi didn't think it was a big problem, and he didn't know how this person suddenly fell from the top just now.

"Ah Qing, are you okay up there?"

Below, Mu Gaoyi and the others are still crawling, but they don't have as much strength as hers, so their speed is a little slower.

Zheng Quchi was about to answer, but when he saw below, Yu Wensheng had already caught up quickly, his figure was vigorous and light, his appearance was fleeting, he was not at all like last night when he was so weak that he couldn't even stand upright.

As soon as he came to Zheng Quchi's side, he grabbed her arm and asked, "How are you?"

In order not to reveal Zheng Quchi's identity and arouse others' suspicion, Yuwen Shengben tried his best to keep a certain distance from her in front of others, but just now seeing that she was in danger, he didn't care about that.

"I'm fine, I picked someone up just now." Zheng Quchi said uncomfortably.

Yu Wencheng confirmed that she was not hit or hurt, then let go of her hand, and glanced down at You Leng.

I saw that handsome and womanly man, when he saw Yu Wencheng, his pupils dilated in vain, and he was as alert as a rabbit who had run into a natural enemy, and quickly turned his face away from meeting him.

"Okay, it's just a small accident, don't waste time, go up quickly."

Zheng Quchi tugged him slightly.

Seeing that she was about to leave with others, the man finally couldn't hold back, and tremblingly said: "I, my name is Yu Hai, you saved my life, and I will definitely repay you in the future."

Does this count as saving his life?Even if she doesn't make a move and rolls down at this height, if he grabs something in the middle or other craftsmen help, it won't be fatal.

This young man is too straightforward.

"No, it's a trivial matter."

She raised her lips casually and smiled.

Yu Hai's watery eyes stared straight, he just felt that this man is really a good person, he does not want to repay his kindness.

Seeing her smiling at others, Yu Wencheng asked warmly with her long eyes hidden in the shadows where no one could see: "What are you doing to save him?"

"Everyone has rolled in front of me, so it's just a matter of extending a hand."

"What does an insignificant person reach out for?"

Zheng Quchi heard him go on and on, turned his head, and glanced at him a few times, he spoke and smiled at her, gentle and docile, and saw nothing unusual.

"Because I am Zheng Quchi."

Her words made Yu Wensheng silent for an instant.

Because she is Zheng Quchi, when she jumped into the river to rescue him who was suspected of drowning, she would also reach out to save this person who was in danger in front of her eyes.

Not to mention how brave she is, but she is not a person who will do nothing to save her.

She is such a person, different from him, so he can't understand her idea of ​​saving people, and she doesn't agree with his extreme statement.

"Do you think I'm cold-blooded?" Yu Wensheng asked her.

Back in the carriage, he tentatively asked her what she thought of "Yu Wensheng".

Learned that she thought he was violent, vicious and bloodthirsty.

If she yearns for a peaceful and quiet life, she will only stay away from and hate this type of people.

And that's the kind of person he is.

Zheng Quchi returned to him while crawling, without thinking too much, and speaking from his heart: "No, at least in this matter, you have your own ideas and principles, because you are Yu Wensheng, so naturally you will not be the same as me. Simple choice."

He was surrounded by dangers and dangerous situations, if he acted like her and acted based on his temperament, wouldn't he be burped by a spy assassin long ago?

"Then do you expect me to be a gentle and kind person?" he asked again.

Zheng Quchi didn't understand the meaning of his asking these words, couldn't it be to test whether she was on the same side as him?

Then she can't drop the chain at a critical moment.

"Who would use words like gentle and kind to describe a general of a country? You should be a golden knife and iron horse, a great talent, brave and good at fighting, and invincible. Besides, my opinion is not important." She said.

After taking a good fart, she waited patiently for Yu Wencheng's feedback.

Will he recognize her "loyalty"?

But wait and wait, the two of them didn't make a sound along the way, until they both boarded the Wujue Temple, he still didn't say a word about her rainbow fart.

... It is estimated that this flattery has gone up on the horse's leg.

Alas, it is not easy to be a jester.

When they arrived at "Wujue Temple", they found that the gate of the temple was wide open to welcome guests. There were monks in front of the gate to receive them, and many people had already entered.

They came a little late, but it doesn't matter, the Jichun Artisan Association has not officially started, and the invitation card says it is three quarters in the afternoon, which is the brightest and brightest time at noon.

After entering the temple, they checked the invitation cards in their hands, registered the number of people traveling with them, and then a gray-clothed monk led the way for them.

All the way they walked through the unique and distinctive blue-tiled houses of different sizes. These houses are located in the lush bamboo forest, quiet and distant, quiet and simple.

Came to the dojo in the temple.

The scene that suddenly opened up in front of him made Zheng Quchi's breath hard.

From the secluded and deep bamboo forest path to the vast water and Xie pool in front of her, she really didn't expect it.

The ashram paved with gray stones in Bailan is actually located on the water. There is an arch bridge in a dozen steps, and there is a water gap between the two bridges. There are several stone-cut lotus platforms surrounded by twists and turns. In the center of the lotus platform is There are statues of Bodhisattvas carved in stone and lacquered in gold.

This really not only demonstrates the profound Buddha nature of Wujue Temple, but also shows off its inhumanity.

Now there are many shelves on these water shelves, and on the shelves, many utensils and crafts of different sizes have been placed, but there are still many places for water shelves to be placed.

The gray-robed monk introduced to Zheng Quchi and the others: "This is a stage set up by the Jichun Artisan Guild. It doesn't matter where it is. You can choose a suitable space to display your artworks."

"Well, can we ask, how are the finalists of Jichun Craftsman's Guild selected?" Zheng Quchi asked.

The gray-robed monk explained to her: "After a short rest, at three o'clock in the afternoon, great virtuous people will come to watch the competition. The shortlisted works can generally be divided into three directions, color, art, and technique."

"Color, that is, appearance, if you can attract people with your appearance, you will get one point if you throw in spring reward money."

"Art, of course, refers to the sophistication of the artwork. If you can use its complicated and difficult craftsmanship, it will be considered a point."

"Technology, ingenious, novel, different, innovative, eye-catching, and a spring reward is worth one point."

With Yu Wensheng around, the others just listened and didn't dare to go beyond and rushed to ask questions, but Yu Wensheng, a general, didn't have a deep understanding of craftsmanship, so he was willing to hand over the home game to Zheng Quchi.

"What is spring reward money?" She seemed to catch an important word.

"Oh, it's this copper plate tied with a thin string that has been incensed by our temple for a long time."

The gray-clothed monk took out a particularly delicate hanging coin tied with a red string: "This is a spring reward silver coin specially made by our temple and the Jichun Artisan Association, and it is used for scoring the finalists."

Zheng Quchi was suspicious: "This...was given to us for free?"

"Why would the benefactor think so?" the gray-clothed monk asked in surprise.

Zheng Quchi saw his artificially surprised expression, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

If she doesn't think so, what should she think?
The gray-clothed monk said slowly: "This is the gift that every benefactor gets after giving alms. I wonder how many pieces the benefactor needs?"

Giving?Not just asking for money.

"If there is one, how much do you need to donate?" She asked tentatively.

"Ten taels of silver."

"..." You can grab it, but you still want to give them a copper coin?
Her previous bad premonition finally came true at this moment. Could it be that they fell into a money-making conference?
She immediately said: "Then we don't want it."

"No more?" The gray-clothed monk obviously didn't expect such an answer.

"That's right, can't we just go for the rewards? Do we have to invest in the spring rewards?"

"...Of course you can, but these spring reward money can also be invested in your own artwork, are you sure you don't want it?"

"No." She insisted.

"That's it..." The gray-clothed monk seemed to be shocked by her firm attitude, and said after a long while: "Oh, I just forgot, it seems that the organizer Fang Gong lost a batch of spring reward money in advance, so that every participant Everyone who chooses can get one."

Zheng Quchi smiled, "Oh, that's it, this master really doesn't have a good memory, he can forget such important things."

"Amitabha, the poor monk really has a bad memory, he is ashamed."

Judging by his plain expression, he doesn't look ashamed at all.
