There are flowers and wine, hoeing and farming

Chapter 57

"Liu Jian, here you are, bring it to him." Qiaoqiao picked up a jug of wine and walked to Liu Jian, flirting with him.

"Why don't you go? I'm not going. I'm also afraid of him." Liu Jian muttered, avoiding Qiaoqiao's hand.

"I packed the bowls and chopsticks for lunch today!"

Liu Jian's heart skipped a beat, but he still sat there.

"Okay, three days, three days, you don't need to brush a chopstick." Qiaoqiao gritted her teeth.

Liu Jian took the jug, walked over without saying a word, without looking down at General Li: "Guest officer, your wine."

General Li glanced around, Qiaoqiao was no longer in the hall, he probably hid in the kitchen, he raised his eyebrows, and poured himself a drink.

Qiaoqiao poked her head out of the kitchen and looked over. The general was sipping wine leisurely there, not paying attention to everything around her. It is a kind of scrutiny and a kind of temptation to look at her because of her female body.

Qiaoqiao didn't understand, what was it about him that looked so suspicious that this person noticed.

There were not many people at noon. Except for this general, everyone else was from the nearby streets. Qiaoqiao simply hid in the kitchen to help Master Lu, and let Liu Jian go to the front to serve meals alone. There were not many people. , so Liu Jian didn't refuse. Anyway, Qiaoqiao was responsible for washing the dishes afterwards, and he didn't suffer at all.

The voices of the diners outside were getting quieter, and Qiaoqiao tiptoed to the kitchen door and poked her head out. It happened that General Li paid the bill, as if sensing that she was behind him, he quickly turned his head and stared at her. She, Qiaoqiao hurriedly retracted her head in fright, her heart jumped up.After standing for a while, she thumped her head again, thinking that she was too timid and had done nothing wrong, so why should she be afraid of him.

After the four of them had lunch, Qiaoqiao greeted Boss Hu and went out.

When she took a shower before, she found that the red string that tied the copper coins was too worn out, and she needed to replace it with a new one. She had the embroidery thread here, but she was afraid it wasn't thick enough or strong enough.So she thought about going outside to buy a thicker red rope specially used to tie things.

I still went to the street where I went shopping last time. She was not in a hurry to buy. After visiting many small stalls, she bought a few small things, and finally felt that it was almost time to prepare dinner. Bought a long piece of red string.

Halfway through the journey, she heard a noise coming from behind. She saw people on the street quickly hiding to both sides, and she also hid to the side, shrinking herself to the point where she did not exist as much as possible.

This is obviously a group of soldiers. Qiaoqiao watched secretly. They were dressed differently from the ones she had seen before, and they were arrogant, with a kind of arrogant arrogance. When passing by along the way, There were a few who didn't hide too far, and a few of them kicked when they went over.

No one spoke, and they didn't even dare to breathe. After the group of soldiers had gone far away, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Bah~ Several older men spat at their backs.

"This group of bastards have not been here for a long time, and they know how to be messy all day long. They have the guts to go up to the front and fight those nomads. Hmph, they have ruined the reputation of the soldiers guarding our place."

"Yes, I heard that these people were sent by some high official in the court."

"I don't care what officials sent here. In short, these people are not good people. They have only been here for a long time, and they know that they are rampant here."

Amidst the discussion of this group of people, Qiaoqiao walked towards the restaurant more cautiously. She also vaguely heard the people who went to the restaurant before say that these people are newcomers, probably because of some factional disputes in the imperial court. Then this prince and that general, and that prince and this minister, fought back and forth, and here came a group of soldiers who had never fought before and were still self-righteous.

When she was about to arrive at the restaurant, she suddenly heard a commotion coming from another alley. She took a casual look and found that it was the woman who recommended to sell vegetables in their restaurant that day. She was surrounded by a group of hooligans. , still holding the basket, biting her lower lip tightly, her face pale and fragile.

Qiaoqiao was not too close to them, so she couldn't hear what they said clearly, but judging from their expressions, they should be saying some obscene words, and one of the men tried to touch the woman's hand, Qiaoqiao clenched his fist, she deeply Taking two breaths, she laughed at herself, turned around and was about to leave, she was helpless, she had no choice but to put herself in.

Suddenly, the woman behind me cried out terribly: "Mom and Dad, help me, help me, I won't fly again, I won't fly, I want to go home, I'm so scared, brother... "

Qiaoqiao's whole body was shaken violently, what this woman said, she turned around and was about to run over.

"Xiaoqiao." Boss Hu stood at the door and waved to her.

"Boss Hu, someone is bullying in the alley."

Boss Hu frowned, and walked over to take a look: "Oh, isn't this the patrolman coming? Those bastards have been doing bad things here all day, let's go, go back."

There were also patrols on the street during the day, and they happened to come here and rescued the woman, and saw the woman kneeling on the ground, everyone couldn't persuade her, but she covered her face with her hands and kept crying: "Mom and Dad , I want to go home, I'm so scared..."

Qiaoqiao is very sure that this woman may have come here through time travel just like herself. She stood there excitedly and looked at it for a while. Finally, she laughed out loud. She couldn't protect herself, so she ran over to meet her. So what, is it necessary for the two of them to hug each other and suffer, and then tell each other about their living conditions over the years?

She was standing there watching, when someone ran over from a distance and said something to the kneeling and crying woman, she quickly wiped away her tears, packed up her basket and the vegetables scattered on the ground, and followed them back.

This woman is stronger and braver than herself, Qiaoqiao can only whisper in her heart, hoping that she can get through the difficulties smoothly and live a peaceful and peaceful life in the future. For the rain, in her opinion, it is more difficult than climbing to the sky, maybe there is, but those people are probably standing on the highest point before crossing.

Back at the restaurant, Qiaoqiao felt that she was even more grateful to Boss Hu. If it wasn't for him, she might not be able to survive here at all.

"Boss Hu."

"Well, let's go and rest first, and come to help later."

"No, I'm not tired. I'll put my things down and go."

Qiaoqiao put down all the small things she bought, and then went to the kitchen.

The days that followed were very peaceful. It has been about a month since the grain was harvested. Apart from that attack, I had never heard of any war during the rest of the time. Naturally, there was no need for them to go out to hide. Qiaoqiao’s heart She is less worried, but she is not afraid of herself. Even if someone attacks, a civilian can escape by just dodging. However, there are so many familiar people in the army. If they want to rush to the front, the danger must be great , but it has been so long now, she thought, these nomads probably gave up, and when the weather gets colder in a few days, this year's crisis should be completely resolved.

After washing the dishes, he lay on the counter and looked outside boredly. Boss Hu had something to go out today, and there were only three people left, Master Lu and Liu Jian. Qiaoqiao was assigned to guard the counter.

"Here, there's a restaurant here. Come in and have a look, and see what's delicious. I won't go there anymore, I'm tired of eating, don't you know what to change?"

A group of people came in noisily outside, Qiaoqiao cheered up and was about to go over to greet her, she found that the clothes of these people were the same as the group of unscrupulous soldiers she saw on the street that day.While hesitating, those people had already walked in. There were about seven or eight people. They looked around casually. The man at the front walked up to the counter and said to Qiaoqiao: "Where is the boss? The boss is not here. A furry kid is here to watch the store?"

"Masters, what do you want to eat?" Liu Jian came out from inside and greeted with a smile.

Several people looked at him with disgust, found a table and sat down: "Pick up a few special dishes and bring them out."

"Yes, masters, wait a moment, I will let the master do it."

"That kid, bring a jug of wine."

Qiaoqiao responded, turned around and walked over with a jug of wine: "Master Jun, the wine is here."

"Hey, kid, wait a minute." Qiaoqiao just turned around to leave when a man closest to him grabbed him, and then said to the person who came in first: "Look at this kid, he's just like a girl." .”

"Sure enough, haha, isn't this kid disguised as a man?"

The others laughed wantonly, extremely insolent.Liu Jian and Master Lu naturally heard it too, and Liu Jian hurried out a few steps: "These gentlemen, this kid is ignorant, could he have offended the military master, go and go, while he is going, he is waiting in the kitchen to cook, clumsy I don't know how to serve people." Liu Jian looked at Qiaoqiao in disgust, then pushed her away, and took the opportunity to shake her hand.

Qiaoqiao lowered her head, staggered a few steps, and walked towards the kitchen.

"Are you all right, Xiaoqiao?" Master Lu asked.

"It's okay, Liu Jian is helping me, I won't go out yet."

"Well, stay here and avoid it for a while. These people are very messy. I have been here for many years, and I haven't seen anything." Master Lu scooped up a spoonful of hot water, sighed and shook his head: " There are a lot of nasty things, and they won't let go of good-looking boys, so don't go out, be careful."

"Well, I know."

These people didn't know whether they were off duty today or what, but they never left. The wine was delivered one after another. They ate and drank while punching. They didn't leave until it was almost dinner.Liu Jian stayed with him all the time in a good voice and did not say a word.

Qiaoqiao stayed in the kitchen all afternoon, and now she couldn't help but want to have a urinate. Seeing them all blushing and swaying after drinking, she greeted Master Lu and walked out quietly. Quickly walked along the base of the wall to the backyard.

After urinating, Qiaoqiao felt that she could just stay in the backyard and leave the front to the two of them to take care of.

After washing her hands, she was about to enter her hut when a hiccup sound came from behind her. When she turned her head, she saw one of these people standing in the restaurant looking towards the backyard. He squinted his eyes and looked at Qiaoqiao. Suddenly shouted: "Stop!"

"Master Jun, go here, you are going to the wrong place." Liu Jian hurriedly winked at Qiaoqiao, he dragged the man's arm and walked out, but the man twisted his neck and kicked Liu Jian: " Fuck you, let that stinky boy come over and pour wine for me."

Liu Jian winked and gestured desperately to let Qiaoqiao go out from the other door in the backyard, but just as Qiaoqiao got up, the rest of the people who heard the movement also came over: "Bastard, come here. I want you to come over and pour wine because I respect you .”

Seeing that the few people who had no idea about the north, south, east, and west of the drink would get excited, Qiaoqiao knew that it was best not to disobey them at this time, so she had to stand up: "Okay, gentlemen, let's go to the front yard, I will give you Pour wine."

"Let's go, keep drinking."

One of the men grabbed Qiaoqiao's hand, stared at Qiaoqiao with his eyes red from drinking, and burst out laughing, Qiaoqiao's subordinates secretly tried hard but couldn't break away from the man's hand, at this time the man was still deliberately holding Qiaoqiao Rubbing the back of his hand a few times, his scalp tingled from laughing.

"Master Jun, ask him to pour you wine." Liu Jian received Qiaoqiao's sight of pleading for help, and secretly groaned in his heart. He stepped forward and grabbed the man's arm, pressed him to the chair, and Qiaoqiao took the opportunity to pull him out. own hands.

"Pour the wine, pour the wine!" The man was obviously very drunk, and he didn't continue to grab Qiaoqiao's hand, he patted the table and raised his empty wine glass.

It's time for dinner, and the few people who wanted to eat retreated when they saw the people inside, Qiaoqiao was anxious, Liu Jian and Master Lu also looked very bad, and they all stayed by Qiaoqiao's side, looking forward to Boss Hu came back earlier, although he may not be able to control these people when he comes back, but he has a backbone when he comes back.

Several people made a fuss for a long time, until one of them fell headfirst on the table, and the others proposed to go back.

After patting for a while, the person was woken up. A group of people supported each other, and after swearing and standing still, they walked towards the door step by step.

The three of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

At this time, the person who grabbed Qiaoqiao's hand suddenly turned around, he looked at Qiaoqiao for a while, pointed at Qiaoqiao and said, "You, come here."

"Master, what else can I order?" Liu Jian and the others didn't intend to ask for money from them anymore, as long as they could leave, even giving them money would do.

"Fuck you, I'll let him come over." The man kicked Liu Jian and pointed at Qiaoqiao.

"Master, what's your order?" Qiaoqiao took two steps forward, but didn't lean over.

"Here's your meal money, come, come here." The man waved his hand as if coaxing him.

Qiaoqiao froze in place, she shook her head: "Master, we have invited you for this meal."

"Are you invited?" The man was confused, and then said: "Then come here, I'll give you the money, I'm sick of drinking tonight, wait for me to go back."

Qiaoqiao took two steps back, bowed her head and remained silent.

The others staggered away, and only this one was left here. Master Lu and Liu Jian couldn't help but gritted their teeth when they heard this: "We beat him, anyway, he's the only one."

"No." Qiaoqiao stopped in a low voice.

"What are you talking about? Come on, follow me."

"I dont go."

"What did you say?" The man rolled his eyes and asked loudly.

"Master, I have tuberculosis, cough, cough..." Qiaoqiao took the opportunity to cough twice, held her breath, and blushed.

"Bullshit."

"Yes, sir, we've wanted to quit him a long time ago, and we'll wait for the boss to come back and drive him away, so don't infect you." Liu Jian also covered his mouth with his sleeve in disgust.

The man was already dizzy from drinking, he couldn't tell the difference at all, he just felt that he didn't get what he wanted, and felt aggrieved: "Damn..." After scolding, he stepped forward and kicked Qiaoqiao, Qiaoqiao I didn't hide, I just hoped that he could vent his anger and leave quickly.

After being directly kicked to the ground by him, the man was still angry, kicked again, and then twisted his feet twice, and then walked out staggeringly.

"Xiaoqiao, how is it?"

Master Lu and Liu Jian hurriedly helped him up, patted the dirt on his body skillfully, endured the pain, and comforted them: "It's all right, he's drunk, he didn't step hard."

"Why not heavy? I was kicked twice by him. I avoided some of them on purpose. It hurts a lot. He stepped on his body directly these few times. It probably hurts a lot. Look at you, the skin is tender and tender. I'm afraid they are all bruised." Liu Jian opened his trouser legs to reveal the place where he was kicked, and saw two dark red spots, which will probably turn blue tomorrow.

"I'm fine, really, not heavy, he's going to be very drunk."

"Go and see the doctor." Master Lu also persuaded.

"Hurry up, let me take a look, don't bruise, rub some medicinal wine." Liu Jian was also impatient, and he was about to take off Qiaoqiao's clothes to have a look.

"Ah..." Qiaoqiao hurriedly pushed his hand away.

"You kid, you're like a woman. If you don't read it, don't read it. What are you talking about? I have some medicinal wine at home. I'll bring it to you tomorrow." Liu Jian patted Qiaoqiao's head lightly.

"Thank you Brother Liu Jiang."

After Boss Hu came back, Liu Jian told him about today's situation. He hurriedly asked Qiaoqiao to go back to the backyard to rest, and asked Liu Jian to go to a nearby medical center to buy medicinal wine.

Back in the house, Qiaoqiao put the latch on the door, and opened her clothes. As expected, the waist and abdomen of her upper body were all purple and red, and she was in severe pain. Seeing this, she felt wronged, and couldn't help but shed tears down.
