Just as He Peng was about to retort, Si Mubai stopped him first, "Captain Yang, we are not unwilling."
"General." He Peng shouted in desperation, "Brother Si, this is not..."
Si Mubai shook his head slightly, it didn't matter if they were in the military before and had a lot of kung fu. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake.
It would not be a wise move to conflict with Yang Er in this place.
Hearing this, He Peng could only swallow this breath no matter how reluctant he was.
Yang Er laughed loudly when he saw this. He was very satisfied with the reactions of these two people, "Si Mubai, you are smart."
"It's just that your intelligence is useless at this place. No matter how capable you were before, you haven't become the lowest-grade coolie now."
After that, Yang Er proudly shook the whip in his hand and went to inspect elsewhere.
He Peng didn't understand why Si Mubai agreed to this matter. Besides, as long as he went to find Master Tie, Yang Er would not dare to say anything.
"General, you shouldn't have done it to him! He's gone too far. We just need to tell Master Tie about this, and he will definitely be on our side."
Si Mubai shook his head slightly, "He Peng, not everything can be solved by telling Master Tie. He only has the lowest official position. If the noise is too big, we will inevitably be implicated. Therefore, we can't trouble him!" "
Hearing this, He Peng did not continue to refute, "General, we don't have to trouble him. But you can't be so wronged here."
"If it hadn't been for that incident, you would have been promoted several levels by now."
Si Mubai frowned, "Don't say this again in the future. Now that I have two children and her with me, I am already content."
"You are my brother, and it is because I came to this bitter and cold place. Due to emotions and reasons, I should accompany you to endure hardships together."
"And, even if it weren't you today, if it were other brothers in the army, my choice would be the same."
He Peng was moved when he heard this, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
Si Mubai chuckled lightly, "Okay, manly man, who did you learn to shed tears at every turn? Let's get to work quickly!"
"Okay!" He Peng nodded. Just as he was about to build the wall, he suddenly thought of Jiang Tuge and his two children. "General, my sister-in-law and children are still waiting for you at home for dinner! If you go back late, she will also be worried about you. of."
Si Mubai tightened his eyes and continued what he was doing, "It's okay, Jiang Tuge is a smart woman. Even if I'm not here, she won't starve her two children and herself."
He Peng nodded and continued to work with Simubai.
The sky was getting dark. Jiang Tuge waited around at home but did not see Si Mubai. In the past, he should have come back long ago.
The more she thought about it, the more irritated she became. After telling her two children, she went out to look for Simubai where he worked.
At this time, the people working beside the city wall, including Yang Er, had already left the place. Now the only ones staying here and busy are Si Mubai and He Peng.
Jiang Tuge saw the figures of these two people from a distance, and his eyes darkened.
"Husband, what time has it been? Why are you still working here and not going home?"
Hearing this, Si Mubai paused. He never thought that Jiang Tuge would come looking for him. Fortunately, his back was turned to Jiang Tuge at the moment, otherwise she would definitely notice something. He turned around and looked at Jiang Tuge, trying his best to hide his emotions, "It's nothing, today I just..."
Halfway through the words, He Peng suddenly spoke up and complained, "It's not all Yang Er's son of a bitch. He deliberately wanted to embarrass me today, so he worked overtime here."
Jiang Tuge raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Si Mubai with a half-smile, "Since it's you he's causing trouble for, why is Si Mubai here too?"
"Ah?" He Peng realized that he had said the wrong thing, and the look in Si Mubai's eyes was not friendly, "This... this..."
"What is this?" Jiang Tuge stared at He Peng, "Since you have already said it, there is no need to worry about him."
He Peng sighed and scratched his head in embarrassment, "General, he was implicated by me. In the end, it's all my fault."
Jiang Tuge frowned slightly. Although He Peng was a bit straight-talking, he didn't even have any brains. However, he is not actually a bad person, and based on his relationship with Si Mubai, he will not deliberately involve him.
"What are you going to do?" Jiang Tuge raised his head and glanced at the bricks on the side, "Are you going to move them all here? I'll help you!"
"Husband, you two stay here to build the wall. If you move faster, you can go home and rest for a while."
Hearing this, He Peng hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Sister-in-law, these bricks are too heavy. I'm afraid you won't be able to lift them. The general and I can do it."
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Tuge had already arrived at the brick side. With a sound of exertion, a pole was placed on her shoulder, and underneath were two baskets of bricks.
She curled her lips slightly, "That's it? It's not that heavy!" As she said that, she took a few steps forward steadily.
He Peng stared at Jiang Tuge dumbfounded. He even suspected that there were no bricks in the basket. He stepped forward and took a look, and his whole body was shocked.
He has served as a soldier for so many years in vain. His strength is not as strong as that of a woman named Jiang Tuge.
Si Mubai looked at He Peng and chuckled, "Thank you for your hard work. After you move these bricks, bring the mortar next to them."
Jiang Tuge nodded and started to get busy. When He Peng saw this, he no longer delayed and built walls with He Peng respectively. Si Mubai was faster than He Peng, but the three of them cooperated well.
The work that originally took four hours was shortened to about two hours.
He Peng looked at the amount of work that had been completed before him and quickly thanked Jiang Tuge, "Sister-in-law, thank you for today."
Jiang Tuge nodded without saying anything. He looked at Si Mubai and asked, "How much extra work have been added to you?"
Si Mubai tightened his eyes, "Both he and I did the work of one more person, which is equivalent to the work of two people each."
"Well, that's true!" Jiang Tuge's face was a little gloomy. This person clearly wanted to embarrass Si Mubai and He Peng on purpose.
According to the law, daily work requires about four or five hours. Now each of them has doubled the work, which means that they have to work non-stop for nine hours, or even ten hours.
There were only twelve hours in a day, and excluding the round trip, Si Mubai could only rest for one hour. The rest of the time will be spent building the city wall.
Jiang Tuge sighed helplessly, "He Peng, how did you offend Yang Er? How could you make him be so cruel?"
