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's shoulder, and walked back to the courtyard. Ci Ke had already got up and squatted beside Ma Xiao, playing with her.

The two were talking and laughing, looking very happy.

The summer wind stirred up sand and dust, brushing the trouser legs together with the fallen leaves, the yard was very lively, the little girl was mumbling and talking to the ants, Zhou Hong and Ma Da were busy in front of the stove, Shili sat with their hands on the back of their heads The stone bench shook slightly.

The aroma of food gradually overflowed in the courtyard, and the cooking smoke drifted into the blue sky and gradually merged with the white clouds. With keen ears, you can hear the noise of the busy traffic in a few alleys, as well as the shouts of vendors.

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

Everyone was tired from the journey, and fell asleep one after another after dusk. The small courtyard was full of moonlight, dark and quiet, only the main room in the middle was still lit.

Ma Xiao knocked on Ye Youqing's door after delivering dinner to Lian'er who was locked up, and pushed the door open after receiving a faint invitation to come in.

I saw the woman sitting in front of the table, and there were some papers scattered on the table. She was already supporting herself with her elbows, and her hair was falling in front of her eyes, looking very sleepy.

"Girl." Ma Xiao whispered, afraid of disturbing her.

Ye Youqing raised her head and saw that it was Xiao Ma, her phoenix eyes became clearer, she exhaled, pulled out her hairpin, and tied all her hair behind her head with both hands, forming a loose bun.

Showing his gentle facial features, he tilted his head to signal Ma Xiao to sit down.

"Young lady just said, why did you come to see you at night?" Ma Xiaogui sat down politely.

"Don't be nervous, but I just want to ask you something. I remember hearing you say that before you became a blacksmith, you worked as a long-term worker in the pit metallurgy workshop?" Ye Youqing asked.

"Yes." Ma Xiao nodded quickly.

Ye Youqing relaxed after hearing the words: "Then do you know a thing or two about the process?"

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

"Miss, do you want to make your own blast furnace?" Although Ye Youqing had told them about his experience in the cottage during the day, Ma Xiao was still a little surprised when he heard it now.

Ye Youqing nodded.

When Ma Xiao heard this, she seemed a little embarrassed, she scratched her hair: "But although I know the process, at least a furnace, a steel frying furnace, and a forge are required to make iron. Materials and the like, I just don’t know anything about it.”

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

Just at this moment, there was another knock on the door, and after Ye Youqing said, the tall and thin man stepped into the threshold and stood in front of Ye Youqing with his head bowed.

"Miss Ye." He said.

"After I went back, I told Mr. Liu that I would make a deal with the noble gentry who bought the ore at the beginning, and send people to follow them and bring their craftsmen back to the cottage to ask for a way to build a blast furnace. After the iron is successfully smelted, tell me." Yeh Judah said.

Ding Cheng was quite surprised, he looked around, leaned over and said, "Tie him back?"

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

Ma Xiao's eyes moved slightly, and he clenched his purse tightly in flattery.

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

Ding Cheng nodded quickly.

"That's good. It's better for the workshop to find an inaccessible place and build it along the river, so that it can use the river water to blow wind and save some manpower." Ye Youqing rubbed his forehead.

I really don't know if there is a steel pouring method in the Qi Dynasty, but even if there is, there should be few people using it. When the smelting is really successful, then consider how to improve the quality, Ye Youqing thought.

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

"Didn't I say that you will know if you can try it. If you fail, it doesn't matter. The iron ore is still underground and will not decrease. If you succeed, then the silver you will earn in the future, let alone the iron cavalry that feeds a hundred people, is There are more than enough troops." 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 then go back the next day."

"No, since the girl has given orders, I'll go back to the cottage tomorrow without wasting time." Ding Cheng was a little bit happy, and nodded to Ye Youqing to say goodbye, then turned and left.

"Miss, do you really trust me so much?" Ma Xiao held the purse in her hand, looked at Ye Youqing with black and white eyes, and asked cautiously.

Ye Youqing smiled, and patted her arm twice: "There is no need to be suspicious of someone who is suspicious. If I really have such serious suspicions, wouldn't I be no different from the official who is sitting on the dragon chair now."

And she believed in her own eyes.

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 wrote something laboriously.

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

It rained on the third day, and the whole sky was gray and gloomy. Water drops dripped from the eaves, making people disturbed.

On rainy days, no one went out, and the courtyard was lonely and deserted. Even the willow tree was covered with rain, and it no longer swayed with the wind. It was deadly still.

Ci Ke stood in front of the open window, his eyes were silent and motionless.

She suddenly felt a little chilly, stretched out her hand to rub her arm, closed her eyes slightly, her body trembled slightly, until she opened her eyes, she was covered in cold sweat.

Every day when her birthday was approaching, the scenes from that year would linger in her mind, and she would play it out like crazy, making her watch over and over again forbidden soldiers breaking into the house, abducting her father from the dinner table, tying her up and carrying her out of the courtyard.

Or on the day when she was cut in half, she was already a servant of the Ji family. She was scrubbing a basin of dirty clothes in the courtyard, and suddenly smelled the pungent smell of blood in the courtyard, and surrounded her like a demon, and they lingered for a long time, scaring her to hide. Cried for a long time in the corner.

That night, other servants heard the news of Daddy's death.

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

In the end, she had to slam her hand against the brick wall hard, and watched the joints of her four fingers bleed out, so she suppressed some sadness.

Footsteps came from next door, it was Ye Youqing's, and Ci Ke moved forward.

When people can't suppress their emotions, they will want to talk to others. She suddenly longed for Ye Youqing to knock on her door, maybe hearing her gentle voice, she would be calmer.

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

Ye Youqing's footsteps paused 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 up today, and she didn't even tie her hair up. She let her black hair wrap around her shoulders. She walked quickly, got under the quilt, and buried her face deep in the darkness.

This was her own suffering, and she didn't want to say it to hurt Ye Youqing's mood.

She won't think about it anymore when she falls asleep, she whispered silently, then closed her eyes tightly.

I don't know how long she lay there, but she did fall asleep, but she was not satisfied, because the scene in the dream was still the same, even more chaotic and complicated than the memory.

In addition to the dead bodies of her relatives, there are even scenes of her being torn and beaten. She wants to escape, but no matter how hard she struggles, she will sink into a deeper nightmare.

She could no longer recognize the faces of those people in the dream, blocking her in a dark corner and falling into the abyss.

Suddenly, very unexpectedly, the face of one of them became clear, and she approached quickly, and then the surroundings became brighter, with the fresh wind after the rain blowing 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 and there was no movement. I almost called the doctor." Ye Youqing felt relieved, and covered Ci Ke's forehead with his palm, "I didn't even have a fever. Why are you sweating so much?"

Some of the woman's black hair was stuck around 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 for a long time." Ci Ke stared at Ye Youqing, closed his eyes when Ye Youqing approached, and smelled the fragrance of her body carefully.

There is still some light rain smell, and the fright in the nightmare has eased a lot, she can't help but pull the corner of the clothes that are still clear, and pinch it in her hands to feel at ease.

Seeing her appearance, Ye Youqing knew that she was having a nightmare, and her heart was being pulled and hurt, but on the face, she seemed to find nothing, and smiled: "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 his hand to throw off the quilt, and forcibly pulled her up, but Ci Ke couldn't resist her strength, so he was dragged to sit upright.

Her eyes became a little moist, and she kept shaking her head: "Ye Youqing, I don't want to move today."

Ye Youqing stared straight at her, then suddenly approached her, and said softly, "You want me to hold you to make up?"

Ci Ke was stunned, at first she suspected that she had misheard, until she saw Ye Youqing stretching out her hand, then she staggered off the bed and walked back towards the dowry.

Ye Youqing must be joking, Ci Ke thought, turned around and sat down, hurried to get the comb, combed the hair, quickly tidied it on the top of the head, and inserted a simple and elegant hairpin.

Ye Youqing didn't speak any more, but stood aside silently, watching Ci Ke finish everything by himself.

When changing clothes, Ci Ke hesitated, and finally turned her back to Ye Youqing, hastily replaced the original middle coat, and put on a light yellow skirt. Follow her and make the bed for her.

The woman moved slowly, as if she didn't care about Ci Ke's movements at all. Ci Ke didn't know whether he was happy or sad, and Ye Youqing only looked at her when her rustling stopped.

"Come with me." After Ye Youqing said, he turned and walked into the cool evening breeze, the rain had stopped, the sky was not bright, but the air was clear and smelled good.

Ci Ke stroked the hem of his skirt, and quickly followed.

But what she didn't know was that Ye Youqing looked calm at this time, but in fact he was already sweating, his heart was like a drum beating, and he couldn't be calm no matter what.

Hold you to dress up?Ye Youqing, Ye Youqing, did you eat three catties of sunflower oil?Ye Youqing walked ahead quickly, closing his eyes and cursing silently.

Today's courtyard is a bit too deserted, Ci Ke looked suspiciously at the various houses, all the doors were closed for ten miles, and they didn't know what to do inside.

Ye Youqing opened the door for her, Ci Ke took a peek at Ye Youqing, bowed his head and walked out.

The two hid in the stagnant water after the rain, Ye Youqing walked in front all the way, didn't say a word to Ci Ke, Ci Ke didn't speak, just guessed anxiously in his heart.

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

Shouldn't you rush yourself back to Bianjing?

The increasingly chaotic thoughts made her worry, but the strange thing is that the grief of the past has eased a lot, and these worries have been driven out of her mind.

"Ye Youqing!" Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Ci Ke was a little scared, so she stepped forward and grabbed her shirt, "Where are we going?"

"It's good to come with me." Ye Youqing turned his head and smiled at her, his face could not be seen clearly in the dim light of the sky.

It rained again today, and there were no people on the street. Ci Ke Xiaobu followed Ye Youqing all the way to the west of the city. There was an open space surrounded by shops, which were closed now, so almost no one was there.

The leaves that had been knocked down by the rain stuck to the ground, stained with muddy water.

"Ye Youqing, you!" Ci Ke was finally a little annoyed, and just after half a sentence of questioning, he saw sparks blooming in front of his eyes, and he was in a trance for a while, as if the sun had just risen, bright as day.

The hand she wanted to pull Ye Youqing stayed in mid-air, and forgot to take it back for a while, looking up at a huge fireworks stand in front of her, spraying fireworks into the sky and surroundings joyfully.

The fireworks illuminated the surrounding houses, illuminated the nearby trees, and also illuminated Ye Youqing's face. She was smiling sweetly, her phoenix eyes were bright red, her thin lips were parted, revealing a small section of white teeth.

A section of fireworks spewed out and sprinkled at Ci Ke's feet. Ye Youqing hurried forward and pulled her to a safe place. Ci Ke looked at the flame flowers blooming in front of him, and felt a hot air rushing from his whole body to the top of his head, and then It's ready to come out from the corner of the eye.

The warm fire drives away the haze, at this moment, she can't remember even half of those past events anymore.

"Ci Ke, happy birthday." Ye Youqing said warmly, "From now on, you will be eighteen years old, and you will be an adult."

There were tears in Ci Ke's eyes, but her lips slowly turned up, she went to look at Ye Youqing, and sneered in a muffled voice: "I've reached Ji long ago, and I've been an adult long ago."

"I don't care." Ye Youqing said with a smile, she looked up at the sky, somewhat disappointed, "I wanted to take advantage of the sky full of stars to tell you some stories about the dead people turning into stars."

Now that the sky is dark, there are no stars anywhere, all the nasty words Ye Youqing learned from TV dramas have been wasted.

She looked down at Ci Ke again, the girl illuminated by the firelight was even more beautiful than ever, especially those eyes, which were more attractive than the stars.

Cherry lips are moist, smooth and moist.

Ye Youqing remembered the story Shili told, stared at those lips and bent slightly, and felt that Ci Ke was watching him, her heart was beating like hell, she dared not bow her head, she had to resist the urge to scratch her head, and pulled the distance between herself and her again Far away, he hurriedly rummaged through his body for something.

"How dare you believe that kind of talk..." Ci Ke was speaking, when his eyes suddenly went dark, and a veil was placed on his face.

The warm breath approached, and a pair of soft lips touched her slightly opened mouth through a thin veil.
