After the Big Guy Wears the Abusive Text

    Ye Youqing was dumbfounded for a while, and after a while, she reached out and patted Zhou Hong on the shoulder and walked back into the courtyard. Ci Ke had already stood up and squatted beside Ma Xiao, playing with her to kill fish.

    The two were talking and laughing, looking so happy.

      Shili supported the back of his head with his hands and sat on the stone bench, shaking slightly.

    Ye Youqing looked at Ci Ke's back, and suddenly felt suffocated.

    After Ma Xiao delivered dinner to the locked up Lian'er, he knocked on Ye Youqing's door, and only after receiving a faint invitation, did he push the door open.

    "Girl." Ma Xiao whispered, for fear of disturbing her.

    Ye Youqing raised her head, saw Ma Xiaohou, her phoenix eyes became clearer, she exhaled, pulled out her hairpin, and tucked all the hair behind her head with both hands, becoming a slack. Loose bun.

    Showing just the right facial features, he tilted his head to signal Ma Xiao to sit down.

    "The girl just said, why did she come to you at night?" Ma Xiao sat down properly.

    "Yes." Ma Xiao nodded quickly.

    Ye Youqing heard the words, his expression relaxed: "Then do you know a thing or two about its process?"

    Ma Xiao thought about it for a while, and continued to nod: "I stayed there for a long time, often doing a few jobs to earn money, so I basically figured it out."

    "Does the girl want to make her own blast furnace?" Although Ye Youqing had told them about the experience in the cottage during the day, Ma Xiao was still a little surprised.

    Ye Youqing nodded.

    When Ma Xiao heard the words, she seemed a little embarrassed, and she scratched her hair: "But although I know the process, iron making requires at least a melting furnace, a steel frying furnace and a forging furnace. Although I know some ways, But I don't know anything about how to make fire-resistant bricks or anything like that."

    Ye Youqing smiled: "You don't have to worry about that."

    At this time, the door was knocked again, Ye Youqing said, and after entering, the tall and thin man stepped into the threshold, bowed his head and stood in front of Ye Youqing.

    "Miss Ye." He said.

    " After I went back, I told Mr. Liu that I would make a deal with the nobles who bought the ore at the beginning, and send people to follow them to bring their craftsmen back to the cottage to ask for a way to build a blast furnace. Tie, tell me again." Ye Youqing said.

    Ding Cheng was a little surprised, he looked around, leaned over and said, "Tie it back?"

    "Send it back after success." Ye Youqing said lightly, and then put a bulging purse into Ma Xiao's hand, "All the silver you need is up to Ma Xiao."

    Ma Xiaomo's eyes moved slightly, and he clenched his purse with some flattery.

    "Also, is there a river near the cottage?" Ye Youqing asked again.

    Ding Cheng nodded quickly.

    "That's good. It's best to find a place inaccessible for the workshop and build it by the river, so that the river can be used to blow wind and save some manpower." Ye Youqing rubbed his forehead.

    I don't know if there is a steel pouring method in the Qi Dynasty, but even if there is, it should be rarely used. After the smelting is really successful, think about how to improve the quality, Ye Youqing thought .

    "Is this really possible?" Ding Cheng was both excited and puzzled.

    "I didn't say that, you will know if you can try it. If it fails, it doesn't matter, the iron ore still in the ground will not decrease. If it succeeds, the silver taels earned in the future will not be It is said that the iron cavalry that feeds a hundred people is more than enough for the army." Ye Youqing rubbed his temples and said softly.

    "Okay, let's go back and rest early. You can rest in Weizhou for a day and go back the day after."

    "No, since the girl has ordered, then I will go back to the cottage tomorrow, without wasting time." Ding Cheng was a little overjoyed, nodded at Ye Youqing, and turned to leave.

    "You really trust me so much?" Ma Xiao held the purse in his hand, looked at Ye Youqing with black and white eyes and asked carefully.

    Ye Youqing smiled and patted her arm twice: "Don't be suspicious, don't use people, if I really have that much suspicion, isn't it the same official sitting on the dragon chair now? Home is no different."

    And she believes in how she sees people.

    Ma Xiao nodded heavily, then said goodbye, the moonlight was blocked from the door again, Ye Youqing rubbed his eyes, took a piece of paper again, grabbed the brush, and laboriously wrote something.

    Ding Cheng did not break his promise, and left Weizhou with the horse the next day.

    It rained on the third day, and the whole sky was gray and gloomy.

    No one went out on a rainy day, the courtyard was lonely and deserted, even the dry willow tree was soaked with rainwater, no longer swaying with the wind, and it was extremely silent.

    Ci Ke stood in front of the open window, the ancient well in his eyes remained motionless.

    When the birthday was approaching, the scene of that year would linger in her heart, and she would play it like crazy, making her watch the forbidden soldiers break into the house over and over again and kidnap Dad from the dining table. The five flowers were **** and carried out of the courtyard.

    Or on the day she was cut in half, she was already a servant of the Ji family, scrubbing a basin of dirty clothes in the courtyard, and suddenly smelled the pungent **** smell of the courtyard, surrounded her like a demon, After a long time, she was so scared that she hid in the corner and cried for a long time.

    In the mouth of other servants that night, I heard the news of my father's death.

    Her hands were ripping at her sleeves desperately, trying to calm herself down. For some reason today, maybe it was the rain and the cloudy day that made her heart palpitate, or her brother's return reminded her of those past events again.

    In the end, she had to smash her hand against the brick wall with all her strength, and saw that the joints of her four fingers were all smashed and bleeding, which suppressed some sadness.

    The sound of footsteps came from next door, it was Ye Youqing, and Cike moved forward.

    When people can't suppress their emotions, they want to talk to others. She suddenly longed for Ye Youqing to knock on her door. Maybe she would calm down when she heard her gentle voice.

    The wall shook and the door next door was opened, but Ci Ke subconsciously hid behind the wall.

    Ye Youqing's footsteps stopped at her door for a while, then went in the opposite direction, and then the sound of the courtyard door opening, Ye Youqing went out.

    Ci Ke closed her eyes, she didn't wash her hair today, she didn't even tie her hair, she let her black hair wrap around her shoulders, she took a few steps, got into the quilt, turned her face deeply Buried deep into darkness.

    This is her own suffering, and she doesn't want to say it to hurt Ye Yuqing's mood.

    When she fell asleep, she would not think anymore, she whispered, and then closed her eyes tightly.

    Except for the corpses of her relatives, and even the scene where she was torn and beaten, she wanted to escape, but no matter how hard she struggled, she would sink into a deeper nightmare.

    She couldn't recognize the faces of those people in the dream, she blocked her in a dark corner and fell into the abyss.

    Suddenly, very caught off guard, one of the people's face became clear, and she got closer, and then the surroundings became bright, and the fresh wind after the rain blew her messy hair.

    Ci Ke lay on the bed, staring blankly at Ye Youqing's enlarged facial features.

    "You finally woke up, I just woke up for a long time without any movement, and almost called the doctor." Ye Youqing was relieved, and put his palm on Cike's forehead, "I didn't have a fever, why did it happen like this? Sweaty?"

    Some of the woman's black hair was glued to her face in strands, which contrasted sharply with her pale complexion. She looked like a glazed doll, clean and fragile.

    "It's okay, I just slept a little longer." Ci Ke stared at Ye Youqing, closed his eyes when Ye Youqing approached, and smelled the fragrance on her body.

    Ye Youqing saw her appearance, and knew that she had a nightmare, and her heart was being pulled and hurt, but she seemed to find nothing on her face, and smiled: "The sky is dark. It's getting late, I can't sleep anymore."

    "But I want to sleep." Ci Ke shook his head and said.

    Ye Youqing looked at her for a while, then suddenly stretched out her hand to lift the quilt and forcibly pulled her up.

    She was a little wet around her eyes, and kept shaking her head: "Ye Youqing, I don't want to move today."

    Ye Youqing stared straight at her, suddenly approached, and said softly, "Want me to hold you and dress up?"

    Ci Ke was stunned. She suspected that she had heard the wrong words at first, until she saw Ye Youqing gesture and stretch out her hand, then she staggered off the bed and walked back towards the makeup bed.

    Ye Youqing was joking, thinking about it, turned around and sat down, hurriedly fetching the grate, trimmed her hair, quickly packed it on top of her head, and put a plain and elegant hair on it. hairpin.

    Ye Youqing didn't speak anymore, but stood silently on the side, watching Ci Ke finish everything by himself.

    When changing clothes, Cike hesitated, and finally turned her back to Ye Youqing, hastily changed her middle clothes and put on a light yellow skirt, waiting for her to tie her belt and look up At that time, he found that Ye Youqing was facing her back and folded the bed for her.

    The woman's every move was slow and slow, as if she didn't care about Cike's movements at all. Cike didn't know whether she was happy or sad, and Ye Youqing only looked at her when she heard her rustling stop.

    Ci Ke stroked the skirt and followed quickly.

    But what she didn't know was that Ye Youqing looked calm at this time, but in fact he sweated a hand earlier, and his heart was like a drum, and he couldn't calm down no matter what.

    Give you your makeup? Ye Youqing, Ye Youqing, did you eat three catties of sunflower oil? Ye Youqing walked quickly in front, closed his eyes and cursed silently.

    Today's yard was a bit too deserted, Cike looked suspiciously at the houses, and they all had their doors closed for ten miles, and they didn't know what to do inside.

    Ye Youqing opened the door for her, Ci Ke peeked at Ye Youqing and walked out.

    The two were hiding from the stagnant water after the rain, Ye Youqing walked all the way in front, without saying a word with Cike, Cike did not speak, just guessing in his heart.

    What happened to Ye Youqing? Where is she taking herself?

    Should I rush back to Bianjing?

    "Ye Youqing!" Seeing that it was getting darker and darker, Ci Ke stepped forward and pinched her shirt, "Where are we going?"

    "It's good to come with me." Ye Youqing turned back and smiled at her, her face not being able to be seen clearly in the dim light.

    It rained again today, and there was no one on the street. Cike Xiaobu followed Ye Youqing all the way to the west of the city. There is an open space here, surrounded by shops, which are now closed, so Almost no one.

    The leaves that were knocked down by the rain stuck to the ground and were stained with muddy water.

      .

    The fireworks illuminate the surrounding houses, the nearby trees, and Ye Youqing's face, she is smiling, her eyes are red, her thin lips are pursed, revealing a Section white teeth.

    The firework spewed out a small section and sprinkled it at Cike's feet, Ye Youqing hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her to a safe place, Cike looked at the flame flowers blooming in front of her, only felt a burning hot The air rushed from the whole body to the top of the head, and it was about to come out from the corner of the eye.

    The warm fire drove away the haze. At this moment, she could no longer remember half of those past events.

    "Ci Ke, happy birthday." Ye Youqing said warmly, "You will be eighteen in the future, and you will be an adult."

    Ci Ke had tears in her eyes, but her lips were slowly upturned. She went to look at Ye Youqing and sneered: "I have long been a man, and I am an adult."

    "I don't care." Ye Youqing said with a smile, she looked up at the sky, somewhat disappointed, "I thought that while the sky is full of stars, the people who tell you about the past will become The story of the stars."

    It's so dark today, where are there any stars?

    She looked down at Cike again, the girl under the firelight was even more beautiful than ever, especially those eyes, which were even more glittering than the stars.

    Cherry lips are moist and smooth.

    Ye Youqing remembered the story told by Shili, stared at the lips and leaned over slightly, and felt that she was being watched by Cike, her heart was beating so fast, she didn't dare to bow her head, she had to resist the urge to scratch her ears and cheeks, Pulling the distance between himself and her again, he hurriedly rummaged through his body.

    The warm breath came close, and a pair of soft lips touched her slightly open mouth through a thin veil.
