Hard work

Chapter 71 Uphill

Shuan Zi helped Lan Hua'er get off the horse, and seeing her pale face, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand and scratched the back of her head, and lowered her voice:
"I, I'm already riding slowly. Can I ride slower when I go back?"

Lan Hua'er waved her hands weakly.I don't know how to answer, and I really don't have the strength to answer.

In the final analysis, she is still in a bad state.I have eaten better in the past two years, but I can't resist starving to death and freezing to death when I was a child.She was barely able to eat enough, and she didn't have the conditions to take care of it, and the root cause of the disease had not been completely eliminated.

After holding on to the tree trunk and the embolism for a long time, Lan Hua'er felt a little better.

When she stood up straight, she had the time to take a look at the stockade in front of her.

It is said to be a stockade, but it should not be more perfunctory than the big houses in the town outside.At least from Lan Hua'er's point of view, those wooden and brick houses are much better than their houses in Aozi Village, and of course they are much larger.

There are high walls, all of which are sharpened and fastened with tree stumps that cannot be hugged by two people. I guess it took a lot of thought.

Because it is a village, there are some strong and strong men running inside and outside, shouting words that Lan Huaer can't understand.She listened to it a few times with great difficulty before she managed to understand a few words.Probably not a dialect, but I don't know where the accent is, so it sounds a bit difficult.

It was the first time for Lan Hua'er to see so many rough men sitting around a fire, drinking and fighting, and she couldn't help being a little stunned.

Seeing Lan Hua'er's surprised face, Shuan Zi proudly patted his chest and said:

"Miss Zhao has never seen a house like this before. We spent a lot of time building it. It was built bit by bit. Look over there, over there is the wood I moved."

Because Shuanzi had a too obvious expression of "come and praise me", Lan Hua'er couldn't help laughing, and said softly:
"Well, that's amazing."

Shuanzi immediately became beaming.He yelled at the group of men gathered inside:
"Miss Zhao is coming up the mountain, hurry up and call your master!"

"Hey, is that Miss Zhao that my boss and Ah Qing often talk about?"

"Oh oh oh, a girl is coming up the mountain!"

"Get out of here, squeeze your farts, make room for me."

Lan Hua'er never expected that she would meet such a group of simple and strong men when she went up the mountain, and was surrounded by people watching as if they were curious, and couldn't help being a little stunned.

Thanks to the fact that the group of men didn't look fiercely when they came around, Lan Huaer didn't hide behind Shuanzi all of a sudden.

But even if they surrounded her just out of curiosity, it wasn't something she would find easy.This group of people is just too strong and tall.Compared with them, the farmers in the village are almost malnourished.Surrounded by such a group of people with tangled muscles and thick breasts that could be used as a city wall, Lan Hua'er instantly felt a pressure rising from her body.

Shuanzi just scratched his head and laughed, completely accustomed and proud.

If it weren't for the bad environment at the moment, Lan Hua'er really wanted to ask Shuanzi: What are you so proud of, because your bandits' chests are so thick that they can't let in light in broad daylight.

"What to do, what to do, Mrs. Zhao finally went up the mountain once, you are trying to scare people out from the door. Hurry up and disperse."

Lan Hua'er recognized the voice, it was Mai Qing.

Mai Qing introduced herself before as the son of Honghuabai's family, it seems that she is indeed a prestigious one.As soon as he opened his mouth, the group of strong men around gave way with a "boom", allowing Mai Qing to walk in front of Lan Hua'er.

Mai Qing still had that warm and gentle smile - even though the word gentle was strange to be used on a man, Lan Hua'er really couldn't think of a second word that was more suitable for Mai Qing.

"Miss Zhao has worked hard all the way, come with me to meet my master? The people in the village are all rough people. I have never seen such a delicate person as the little lady. It scares the little lady."

Exquisite...

Lan Hua'er's face twitched, and she couldn't help but wonder how thick-skinned Mai Qing was to say something like "exquisite" to a village girl.She once took a picture of herself in the water, and it was a little blurry, but I still knew the outline.In the past two years, I have eaten better, my face has blood, and my cheeks have become more plump.It's just that the eyebrows and eyes have not yet opened, the shape of the face is not the most pleasing oval, and the eyes are not as big, round and watery as Honghuabai.

Those people are used to red flowers and whites, so they should be immune to other girls.

It can only be said that these people may be like the people in the military camp. They don't see any girls outside who dare to go to their cottage all year round. It is a rare thing to see them like this once in a while.

Mai Qing led Lan Huaer all the way ahead.Shuan Zi naturally did not follow.

The cottage looks huge, but it doesn't follow the rules as Lan Huaer thought.Those who wanted to come to the group of old men couldn't notice where they were going.

When Hong Huabai saw Lan Hua'er, her face was full of joy.He shook Lan Hua'er's hand, called "Alan" a few times, and called her "Sister" like a dog, which made Lan Hua'er's heart soften.

Because it was almost noon in the stockade, Hong Huabai personally led Lan Huaer to the kitchen at the back, let Lan Huaer recognize the way, and recognized a few old ladies who had been working behind, Hong Huabai yelled To eat fish skin dumplings.

This is really something that only orchids can do.

Hong Huabai originally wanted to stand by and watch Lan Huaer work, but was called away by a man looking for him halfway.

Only then did Lan Hua'er dare to slowly start talking to the older ladies behind her.

One of them, Aunt Liu, saw that Lan Huaer's face was turning pale, so she smiled and comforted her:

"It's the first time for the little lady to come to the village, isn't she very scared? Except for us old ladies who occasionally come to help, there are those rough people outside. You don't see a few little ladies coming up the mountain in a year, which scares you. But they Rough face, rough temper, but it’s not too bad, I got used to it slowly.”

Only then did Lan Hua'er realize that her fear had already been shown on her face.She always thought that she was covering up well, and she always felt that she was not afraid.Being comforted like this, she froze for a while, then slowly laughed, and shook her head again:
"No, I'm not afraid. Ma'am is not an old woman, she is too young."

Aunt Huang next to her also laughed:
"Miss Zhao is really not afraid. We are all from the surrounding villages. We come up to help and earn some pocket money. People in this village do not rob people or do evil things."

Lan Hua'er agreed, but didn't know how to continue the conversation, so she lowered her head and worked hard to make fish skin dumplings.
