Ma'am help, the general is in trouble again

Chapter 79 Engineering Accidents
Well, I just don't know, the general purposely recalled Fu Rong in order to investigate thoroughly.

-

In the past two days, Zheng Quchi encountered another headache.

She had to look for clay suitable for making bricks around Fuxian County. The large area of ​​loess soil in Fuxian County was almost hollowed out, forming a large depression.

If you continue to dig, there is too much sand and gravel underneath, so it is not suitable.

In order not to delay the production of her green bricks, she had to quickly find another suitable place for mud production.

For this matter, she also asked the engineer to look for it further away, and she herself carried a small hoe and dug around the nearby riverbed and dry lake.

According to the records of Tiangong Kaiwu, when mud is used to make bricks, the earth is dug to check the color of the soil, whether it is blue or white or red or yellow.

She looked for it according to the description on it.

She is used to working on the construction site, and she is not afraid of getting dirty.

Whenever you see dark blue or yellow mud pits, jump down, remove the surface layer of sandy and dry ones, dig deeper to collect wet mud, and test the stickiness of the soil by hand.

She also found a piece of red mud hidden in the Dead Leaf Swamp, but after digging around, it was estimated that the amount was not large.

During this period, Master Li has been silently following behind her, watching her climb mountains and wading, busy looking for her.

He still wears thick and rich clothes today.

A mink fur coat with a hood, holding a copper hand stove with a cover, compared with Zheng Quchi, a mud-legged man in a coarse cloth jacket, he is as delicate as a jade bottle, with a gentle temperament and a cool expression.

Standing on the slope, he looked down at Zheng Quchi digging the hunchback, mud was everywhere from the ankle down.

"Why do you give so much effort to Yu Wensheng?"

Zheng Quchi saw that he hid far away, afraid that the mud would splash on him, he clearly disliked him so much, but he wanted to follow her up and down the mountains and into the soil, adding dust to his body.

I don't know why Yu Wencheng let him out, since he took Qiu away with him, so why can't he be properly interrogated?

Right now, she and a group of officials are fully responsible for the fortification of the city wall. If he has the same idea as before and intends to stir up trouble, won't he implicate her?

Thinking about it this way, he should follow if he wants to, at least keep people under his nose and monitor his movements.

If she hadn't been worried that when she sued Li Shimi, he would reveal the secret that she was a woman after he found out, and maybe he would talk too much and mention the "life-saving grace" with her, then her innocence would not be cleared by jumping into the Yellow River Cleared up.

She was already full of stains, with a lot of criminal records, and now she can't figure it out with a suspicious person like him. If Yu Wencheng knew, how could she survive?
Why is her new time-traveling life so hard?

The trouble is that once a crop is cut and another crop is taken, it is endless, right?

"If you don't try your best, Yu Wencheng can tear me apart." She replied while working.

"He is so vicious, why do you still work for him?"

In other words, from time to time, Master Li will have a fairy spirit that does not eat the fireworks of the world and does not understand the world. Zheng Quchi secretly slandered that if this brother hadn't lived on the high mountain that everyone worshiped, he would have been isolated from the world Gao Peng is deep in the palace.

Listen to this, it's arrogant enough, it's like saying that once the king of this country is ruthless, he can immediately change another superior.

Zheng Quchi said unhappily: "I can't do it without my life, I'm afraid of death."

Master Li was startled.

It is estimated that he has never seen anyone who can take it for granted that he is greedy for life and afraid of death.

After all, among the people around him, which one is not steadfast, seeing death as home, and some even think that it is something worthy of praise and admiration to die for the cause they pursue and the truth they uphold.

But he didn't despise Zheng Quchi's thoughts. If people live proudly and unyieldingly, they can naturally live a meager existence, which is not in conflict.

"Sang Xuanqing, where did you learn what you know? At your age, if someone hadn't spent a lot of time and energy teaching you, you shouldn't have the accumulation you have today."

Zheng Quchi was amazed that he hit the nail on the head. Didn't she have received more than 20 or [-] years of education before she is what she is now?

When she used to read ancient Chinese prose and savor the lives of historical figures in books, she had a feeling that if one day she was thrown into the crowd of these people, she would definitely be the kind of cannon fodder in a TV series that would not survive a single episode.

"Of course someone taught me, but I only know these things. I don't know martial arts, I don't know how to lead soldiers and fight, I don't know how to intrigue, I don't know how to weave and sew clothes, I don't know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I don't know how to sow and cultivate land." , Sometimes I think, apart from doing work, I seem to be inferior to other men and women, and I have nothing to do."

Listening to what she said, Master Li did not feel her inferiority complex and self-deprecating, but instead had a kind of self-affirmation concealed under humility.

In her eyes, there is a way, as well as goals and directions.

Master Li suddenly envied her a little bit, and also softened towards her.

He said: "You don't want me to destroy the fortifications of the city wall this time?"

Seeing him take the initiative to mention this matter, Zheng Quchi immediately regained his spirits.

She stood up straight, and said to him with a serious expression: "Well, I don't know why you did this, but now General Yuwen has given it to me, and if you do anything that will damage the schedule, I will follow Bad luck together."

"If you are only worried about Yu Wensheng's questioning, I can guarantee that I can take you out of Ye Kingdom unscathed." Li Shi said.

But Zheng Quchi shook his head: "I'm not going anywhere. My home is in Fu County. I never planned to leave my hometown and wander elsewhere."

Master Li understood.

Not only is she "greedy about life and afraid of death", she is also afraid of "being a stranger in a foreign land alone".

Seeing that Master Li remained silent, Zheng Quchi also knew that it would not be so easy to persuade him to "stop", but she felt that he didn't have to "take action", otherwise why he didn't follow the trend when he dealt with the Mohists and ask them to blow up the After breaking through the city wall, they were arrested and sent to Yu Wensheng.

His purpose of destroying the fortifications of the city wall should be different from that of the Mohists.

But she couldn't guess exactly what he wanted to do and when he planned to do it.

"Speaking of which, lately... I always feel flustered for no reason." Zheng Quchi let out a long breath.

"Panic? Are you sick?"

She gave him a blank look, what kind of straight man is asking this question.

But she didn't know, there was always an inexplicable feeling urging her not to stop, once she stopped, she would feel a little restless.

She looked up at the sky.

The sky darkened, the wind picked up suddenly, and the dark clouds were pushed down from the southwest to the low altitude, making it extremely cold.

"Huh? Is it going to change?"

I was sweating all over after working just now, but now the southwest wind blows it around my neck and pours it into my back, and I really feel a little cold.

"It's going to snow soon."

Master Li raised his eyes, frowning into a word Sichuan.

Zheng Quchi rubbed the dried mud on his hands, and couldn't help feeling surprised by his obvious expression of irritability and forbearance.

This iceberg will also reveal its popularity.

After some observation, her eyes lit up: "You...are you afraid of the cold?"

At this moment, Master Li's lips were blue and white, and his usually cold and pale face was also a little purple. His lips were pressed into a straight line, and after holding back for a long time, he said: "Beiyuan Kingdom, the four seasons are always spring, and it never snows."

Puchi——Zheng Quchi laughed cheerfully, and she suddenly said: "You are from the south, so it's no wonder, you can't bear this kind of climate. But our Fu County is not considered the Great North. Since then, there has been a little bit of snow in pieces."

I especially remember that the first snowfall since the beginning of winter was at night when she and "Liu Fengmian" were listening to the snow fall.

Speaking of "Liu Fengmian", she was so busy during this period that she couldn't even count the farts, and she didn't have time to take care of his affairs.

I don't know where he is now, is he still on a mission, has he ever returned home?

Seeing that she has been away from home for more than a month, and Zhengdan (Chinese New Year) is only a few days away, she should be able to go home.

She had already asked someone to send her wages as a masonry back home. I don't know if the eldest brother and the others were so happy when they received the money, they immediately went to kill a pig to pickle the bacon for smoking.

In fact, the way of life here in Fu County is similar to that in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. Every year during Zhengdan, every household will buy new year’s goods in advance.

She thought that before going home, she had to buy some red paper, joss sticks, snacks, candies, and toys to bring back. The toys were for coaxing Yaomei. Discuss, discuss and then buy together.

She smirked as she thought about people.

But Guijiao Ridge was so close to Hegou Village, yet she didn't have time to go back for such a long time... The smile on her lips felt helpless, and she suddenly felt homesick.

"What are you thinking about?" Master Li came down from the slope.

Seeing that the sky has changed, she no longer continues to survey the clay, and plans to go home.

Picking up the small hoe: "It's not going to be Zhengdan soon. I'll make an appointment with the workers in the past two days, and I'll transfer Muxiu home to celebrate the New Year. How about you?"

As soon as Master Li heard "Zhengdan", he realized that the Chinese New Year is coming soon. No wonder Saw Zi has been urging him to go back to Fu County during this period of time. It's piled up like a mountain.

In the past, "Zhengdan" was a big event, but he didn't plan to go back this year. If he really went back to Beiyuan, Yu Wencheng might decapitate Gong Shulan in the next moment.

This time, he miscalculated.

He really thought that with Gong Shulan's infatuation, coupled with Gong Shulan's reputation and reputation, Yu Wensheng would marry Gong Shulan, but he didn't expect him to refuse.

He knew Gong Shulan well, she had cared for Yu Wensheng for many years, even if he forcefully took her away, she would definitely find another chance to return to Yu Wensheng's side.

Therefore, he still had to find a way to make Yuwen Sheng marry Gong Shulan.

He had a plan for this matter, but he wanted to find an opportunity to destroy the city wall and use the hands of Yuan Sui and Yin Xiao, just because he couldn't completely turn against Yu Wencheng on the face of it, so that Gong Shulan had no chance at all. there is none left.

Once Fu County loses the city walls around Guijialing, and the situation is critical, he will take advantage of it.

There are more than tens of thousands of powerful craftsmen under him, and cooperation with kindness is enough to force Yu Wensheng to bow his head in exchange for the safety of the border of Ye Kingdom.

It's just... everything, after meeting Sang Xuanqing, deviated from his original plan.

It would be a lie to say that he has no dissatisfaction with her at all. Her sudden birth made him unable to move forward, unwilling to retreat, and in a dilemma.

If it was someone else, he would have made her disappear without a trace in this world long ago.

But this person is her.

The time left for Gong Shulan to get close to Yuwen Sheng is running out, how can he make his sister's long-cherished wish come true.

Master Li looked into her eyes with a pair of glassy blue eyes, and asked lightly: "Aren't you taking me with you?"

Zheng Quchi sounded strange: "Why should I take you with me?"

Master Li said in a calm tone as if he was determined: "Then you are not worried that I will take advantage of your absence to do something to the fortifications that you have paid so much for?"

This is a threat!

The threat of red fruit!

Damn, but she was really worried.

"...If you have nothing to do, you can also go home with me to celebrate the New Year. There are so many people, it's just a matter of having an extra pair of chopsticks." Her invitation was quite insincere.

Master Li watched her expression quietly for a moment, but saw that her brows became gloomy, and the little black face was no longer as relaxed as before. His eyes flickered slightly, and the vaguely oppressive and powerful aura before was like being pierced by a needle. , instantly dissipated.

"I'm just kidding, if you don't want to, I won't go."

He lowered his eyes and said softly.

Hearing what he said, Zheng Quchi felt a little embarrassed.

Although he is a dangerous person, he hasn't done anything bad yet, and not long ago, after all, he did her such a big favor, she can't turn her face too quickly, she should take it slowly Turn it over.

"Yeah, I'm not unwilling. It's just that my family is young. If you stay overnight, you can only sleep in the same room with my brother. I'm mainly afraid of wronging you."

Master Li seemed to believe her set of false words, and his face that was frozen pale became warmer: "It's okay, I don't need to sleep."

"..." No need to sleep, so powerful?Do you think you are a sea lantern mage?
Now that we've said all this, if she doesn't lead this lonely family back home, won't it be too impolite?

-

However, before returning home for the New Year, Zheng Quchi had to face a serious matter to be dealt with.

That is, if "Sang Xuanqing" goes home to celebrate the New Year, what about her younger sister "Zheng Quchi"?So if "Zheng Quchi" goes home for the New Year, what about "Sang Xuanqing"?
I can't, even during family reunions like Chinese New Year, I still have to visit relatives...

No, she still has to think about it, think about it.

-

When Zheng Quchi and Master Li returned to the construction site, there was already a light snowfall, but fortunately, the snow was not heavy and did not affect the start of work.

"what--"

"Be careful! Be careful!"

"Attention the people below, someone slipped and fell!"

In the distance, the craftsmen shouted in panic.

Zheng Quchi heard the noise in the distance, and rushed over immediately before he could see what happened.

When we arrived at the scene of the incident, we saw the commotion around, and everyone looked up anxiously, only to see a person rolling and falling down uncontrollably on the sloping stone slope above.

When Zheng Quchi saw it, he knew that a slippery accident had occurred. In rainy and snowy days like this, if someone climbs and moves without a safety rope, this kind of accident is most likely to happen.
