idle mistress

Chapter 7
"Not enough, I eat a lot."

Hearing the sound of the two arguing, the cook from the other team turned her head and glanced into her bowl.

"Give me two more." Xu Weiqiu said.

"How much work can a yellow-haired boy do? It's not bad to have food for you. Go around and don't stand in the way."

"It's not fair for you." It's not that she wants to make a fuss, it's really a day of physical work, and she is starving at the moment, and she must not be full with two steamed buns.

However, before she could argue with him, the fat cook impatiently knocked on the wall of the pot with a spoon, and shouted loudly, "Next."

People queuing up behind couldn't wait to rush forward, and Xu Weiqiu, who was thin and thin, was quickly pushed aside under pushing and shoving.

Knowing that if she went up again, the other party would definitely not admit it, Xu Weiqiu was a little frustrated, she turned around and left with her head down, and someone patted her shoulder from behind after taking two steps. Looking back, there was another cook standing behind her, Medium build, kind-hearted.

Without further ado, the other party put two steamed buns in her bowl, and said, "You can wait in my line for dinner later."

Xu Weiqiu was stunned for a while before he could say two words: "Thank you!"

The cook took a look at her, turned around and was about to leave.

Xu Weiqiu hurriedly called her: "Wait, aunt, what should I call you?"

"My husband's family name is Chen." After leaving this sentence, the cook left in a hurry...

The coarse grains were dry and hard to swallow, but she was extremely hungry, and she quickly ate up the half bowl of porridge and water.

Afterwards, she quietly went to a dark and deserted place to relieve herself. As soon as she pulled up her pants, she heard the sound of chaotic footsteps from behind. Xu Weiqiu was startled, and quickly shrank and hid in the bushes.

"Here, hurry up."

Accompanied by a deep voice, a few figures sneaked up from not far away, and passed by the bushes where Xu Weiqiu was. In the moonlight, a few strange faces flashed past her eyes. The big prison word on it is very conspicuous.

Xu Weiqiu held his breath, not daring to take a breath, until she saw a familiar scar on a certain face, and her heart couldn't help but tugged.

She quietly walked out of the bushes until the absconding prisoners were far away, and carefully turned back along the original road with a nervous heart.

Just when she came to the adobe house, someone patted her on the shoulder from behind. Xu Weiqiu was still immersed in what he saw just now, and turned around in shock when he was patted like this.

The other party was also taken aback by her fierce response, and quickly said, "Xiao Yu, it's me, what's wrong with you?"

Looking at the long-lost familiar face in front of him, Xu Weiqiu patted his chest in shock: "God, you scared me."

"What's wrong?" Goudan looked at her suspiciously.

The scarred face flashed in her mind, she shook her head: "It's okay, son of a bitch, why are you here?"

"I've been looking for you." Goudan affectionately put his arm around her shoulder.

Xu Weiqiu didn't resist, and raised his hand to pat the other person's arm. After all, she was happy to see a familiar face again in this kind of place.

"I have been looking for you for a long time, but I have never seen you."

Xu Weiqiu nodded when he heard the words: "There are too many people here, it's really not easy to meet." The two sat on a stone two feet away from the adobe house and chatted.

After more than a month of tempering, the smile on Goudan's face has become less, but his chatty temperament has not changed. In just one stick of incense, Xu Weiqiu already knows where he has been assigned and what kind of work he has done. .

Goudan twittered for a while, and when he finally arrived, he let out a long sigh, and said with deep emotion:
"If I had known it would be such a big pain to come here, I would have asked my father to hire someone to do it for me. In fact, my family still has a little money. I am the only male in the family. It is my father who is too stingy. Seeing the money It's more important than anything else. What about you, Xiaoyu? You look younger than me, are you the only one in the family, or why would it be your turn to come here."

Xu Weiqiu smiled wryly. She came here as a substitute, and she didn't know whether this Yu was the only one.

At the beginning, the Yu family had their eyes on her elder brother Xu Weicheng, but Xu Weicheng spared his life, Xu Weiqiu knew that Rong would not agree even if he wanted to.

She hummed lightly, and gave the other party a plausible answer.

Goudan just asked this question, and he didn't really want to know the answer. After hearing her response, he suddenly changed the subject and said:

"At noon today, did you see a man riding a horse into the mountain?"

Xu Weiqiu recalled the startled glance, and nodded slightly: "Yes, I saw it."

Goudan continued to say with a look of fascination: "Do you know who the man on the horseback is? I heard that it is the Master Shaofu here, and they all say that this man is very powerful." While speaking, he couldn't help but sigh:
"I see his posture on horseback is really majestic."

After hearing this, Xu Weiqiu said disapprovingly: "I don't think he is very old, how can he be so good?"

However, within a day after saying this, Xu Weiqiu had already experienced exactly how powerful this young master is.

It was just dawn, and everyone in the workshop was already hard at work. At Sishi, the young master reappeared. He dismounted from his horse, and the servants behind him quickly surrounded him.

Taking a closer look, Xu Weiqiu realized that this man was really young, and his appearance was quite amazing.

However, as soon as this person came, the atmosphere in the whole workshop suddenly became serious.

He stood there, looked around, and said coldly, "Stop doing it."

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding supervisors began to order everyone to stop.Soon, the prisoners in the entire area were escorted to one place.

The other laborers did not dare to take any action, and stood silently with their hands down.The air was filled with a chill, and the surroundings fell into a dead silence.

Holding a horsewhip, the Young Master walked silently around the group of prisoners for half a circle before stopping.

"Bring people up." He said, his voice was a bit cold.

Soon, the two prisoners were brought up to him by the soldiers and knelt down on the ground.

As soon as the two knelt down, the man greeted them with the whip in his hand without saying a word.

The sound of the whip hitting the flesh sounded, once, twice, three times...

The sound of whipping was accompanied by screams, and the sound of howling ghosts and wolves made people shudder.

Seeing this, the onlookers on the side were all trembling with fright, and no one dared to say anything.

Xu Weiqiu was also shocked. This young master looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was so hostile.
