Scholar and old attack

Six people can live in a tent. In this hot summer, not to mention crowded, it is also very stuffy.

It is said that it is a slightly better tent, that is to say, the tent is well preserved, there are no holes, and mosquitoes cannot get in. That’s all.

This was a tent that Wang Linjie had specially transferred from the army considering that they were all spoiled scholars. How could he have received such treatment in previous years.

The soldiers and civilians outside are all tired and lie down on the ground to sleep. Who cares if you lie on the ground with a hot back? It would be nice to have time to rest.

Sitting on the edge of his small bed, Jiang Jingyuan frowned slightly. Although he didn't have a cleanliness habit, he didn't like living with so many people, let alone he didn't know what kind of people he wanted to live with.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jingyuan sorted out the things Xu Shuizhou brought him one by one, leaving only some unimportant ones, and then came to Wang Linjie's tent with the burden.

His move made some people misunderstand, thinking that he was going to bribe the governor, and they were all laughing at him for being overconfident.

"You kid still want to bribe me?" Wang Linjie saw Jiang Jingyuan coming in with a big bag, and squinted at him.

Jiang Jingyuan chuckled lightly, "My lord misunderstood."

Pointing to his own baggage, he said, "This is prepared by my husband at home, but I have prepared too much. This student is afraid that other students will be jealous and hurt their feelings, so I specially come here to ask adults to help take care of it."

Wang Linjie choked for a moment, he didn't expect Jiang Jingyuan to be so bold, he raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

"Don't be afraid of the adults. The students believe that the adults are diligent and caring adults. They will definitely not care about such trivial matters with the students."

As Jiang Jingyuan said, he took a step forward and searched everywhere in Wang Linjie's tent to hide his baggage. He believed that he would not steal this tent even if he had the guts to give it to outsiders.

Wang Linjie stared wide-eyed at Jiang Jingyuan, who was acting mischievously in his room, feeling a little annoyed, this kid brought down some high hats for him, so that he couldn't bear to refute his words.

Jiang Jingyuan took the baggage and finally found Wang Linjie's closet, in which there were two stinky clothes in a mess. Jiang Jingyuan took out the clothes and put them on the cabinet, and stuffed his own baggage into it.

"Smelly clothes don't need to be put in the closet. It's better for adults to pay attention to hygiene."

"You and brat, get the hell out of here." Wang Linjie's beard glared in anger, this kid must have lost his mind.

Jiang Jingyuan tidied up his clothes as if he didn't hear Wang Linjie's words, and said calmly, "There are three sets of clothes in the package, half a catty of beef jerky, a jar of sauced meat, and some pancakes and candies... I I'll be checking in every day."

"You brat, I am a dignified fourth-rank governor and I will steal your things."

The more Jiang Jingyuan talked, the heavier Wang Linjie's breathing became, and he wished he could throw the man in front of him out of the tent.

"Students believe in the character of the adults, but if the adults are greedy and steal the food from the students, the students have no place to reason."

The corners of Jiang Jingyuan's mouth twitched as he spoke, he was testing the governor's bottom line.

"Get out, and I will allow you to check every day. If there is one thing missing, I will pay you three times."

Wang Linjie glared at Jiang Jingyuan angrily, and finally yelled.

After Jiang Jingyuan saluted and exited the tent, he was hit on the back by Wang Linjie's dirty clothes, as if he had been thrown out.

Jiang Jingyuan smiled and tidied up the clothes on the ground, planning to find a place to wash them, and it was considered as a storage fee for the governor.

Wang Linjie looked at the background of Jiang Jingyuan walking away, and smiled silently, "This kid is quite interesting, bold and careful, even I dare to try it."

"I just don't know how it will behave this time."

Wang Linjie stroked his chin and thought for a while, then called a soldier in: "Go and watch my closet, no one is allowed to open it."

"Yes." The soldier stood upright and replied.

Jiang Jingyuan had just returned from washing his clothes by the river when he saw Chen Yuhong marching into the camp with more than 600 people.

All the people in the camp were alarmed in an instant. All the people they had recruited for the corvee had arrived, so how could there be so many people here.

Even Wang Linjie came to inquire personally when he heard the news.

"Chen Yuhong, what are you doing with so many people here?"

"Reporting to the governor, these people are all criminals in prison, and they all came to help the corvee." Chen Yuhong replied indifferently.

"Nonsense, what if someone escapes, you are not messing around. If so many criminals escape, Wutong County will not be in a mess."

Wang Linjie was really angry this time, and Chen Yuhong was not a fledgling young man, so why did he act so recklessly.

"Go back to Governor, I asked Mr. Chen to do this." Jiang Jingyuan hung up his clothes, wiped off the water stains on his hands, and hurried over to explain clearly.

"It's you again, tell me, what exactly do you want to do, do you know that you are playing with fire and setting yourself on fire."

It was good that Jiang Jingyuan didn't show up, but as soon as he showed up, Wang Linjie felt a fire in his arms.

This kid is too daring, he dared to release the criminals in the prison, he knows if he is given to the general, he will be ruined for the rest of his life.

"Your Excellency, be safe and don't be impatient. The feet of these criminals are chained, and it is impossible for them to escape." Jiang Jingyuan said calmly.

Wang Linjie didn't think so, "Do you know why these people are imprisoned for crimes, and some of them are some highly skilled thieves. How do you know that he can't open the lock on his feet?"

"Students believe that those who can come here will not run away, because they are paid for their work." Jiang Jingyuan smiled confidently. Everyone who came here has been registered and not randomly selected.

"Remuneration, the money from you." Wang Linjie stopped abruptly in the middle of his words, "You mean to pay them with the money you collected?"

Jiang Jingyuan nodded with a smile. Originally, he wanted to advise the county magistrate to replace taxes with work, but there was no time, and the yamen might not be able to afford the money, so he had to figure out a way by himself.

"It's not just the daily wages, but the sentence can be reduced if you do a good job. I really want to escape. He can't take so many people away. If he is caught, the punishment will be even heavier. What's more, their families are still alive. In Wutong County."

It can be said that Jiang Jingyuan pinched all the weaknesses of these criminals in his hands, using both carrots and sticks, he didn't believe that these people could still run away.

"It doesn't matter what you say...then it's up to you." Wang Linjie pondered for a while, and felt that Jiang Jingyuan's method was really clever.

Not only making money, but also finding something for the criminals in prison to do, it is simply killing two birds with one stone.

If there were more criminals in the prison, it would be able to replace the corvees in several villages.

Seeing that Wang Linjie was deep in thought, Jiang Jingyuan interrupted him, "Master Governor, why do you concentrate the corvee in this month every year?"

"That's because ordinary people are busy with farming, and they can't delay farming for corvee. It's too cold in winter, and the land is frozen, so it's hard to start work."

Wang Linjie blurted out without thinking.

"But the prisoners in these prisons don't need to be busy with farming. The students remember that some repeat offenders need to be transported to coal mines for mining. Coal mines are dangerous, but it is much safer to build roads and control floods."

Jiang Jingyuan's words stopped short.

Wang Linjie immediately came to his senses, his eyes widened, "You mean, you mean to let these criminals replace the corvee, wonderful, wonderful."

The more Wang Linjie thought about it, the more he felt that it was wonderful. Every year, the corvee people suffered unspeakably. The court also thought of various ways to reduce the corvee, but they all solved the symptoms, not the root cause.

Jiang Jingyuan's words opened his mind. Some of these criminals themselves did not commit any heinous crimes, and they would not be able to punish them if they were thrown in prison.

If he is punished with a few months of corvee, we will see if he dares to commit the crime again next time. Even if he dies from exhaustion, it doesn't matter, since the prisoner will die anyway.

After thinking about it, Wang Linjie went back to the tent and began to write the booklet. Such a good idea must be reported to the imperial court, so that the people all over the world can lighten the burden a little.

Jiang Jingyuan didn't care what Wang Linjie did. He organized more than 600 criminals and went to a farther place to cut down some trees.

It just so happened that the rice had just been harvested in the field, and the straw was piled up by the villagers to be used as firewood, and Jiang Jingyuan got a lot of it at very little cost.

They also organized the villagers to help build a grass shed, which could not give everyone a good living environment, but at least let them have a place to avoid the sun.

Sleeping on straw is better than sleeping on the hot floor. It is hot in summer, and the ground resurfaces at night. The heat and cold make people in a state of extreme fatigue, so it's no wonder they don't get sick.

The other scholars were not stupid. Seeing Jiang Jingyuan's move, they felt that they could not fall behind too much, and organized their hands to build a shed. Among them, Fang Xinli and Wei Liangjun were the most active.

The two were worthy of being rookies among scholars, and they quickly learned from each other, not only building a shed, but also taking into account the hygiene of the toilet.

He even thought of preventing the plague, and was about to ask the governor for approval to purchase a batch of lime powder.

Seeing that they took care of the rest of the details, Jiang Jingyuan was also happy to save trouble.

People don't know that the two of them were frightened by Jiang Jingyuan. He made such a big commotion the moment he came up, and even made a familiar face in front of the governor.

Seeing that there was nothing to do with him here, Jiang Jingyuan walked along the embankment of Qingshui River for a while, observing the terrain, and writing and drawing with charcoal on the paper he carried with him from time to time.

It wasn't until the evening when his stomach started rumbling that he suddenly remembered that he hadn't eaten.

Thinking of reading at home or practicing stereotyped essays and forgetting the time, Ah Zhou would remind him to eat, but now that no one reminds him, he can't even remember to eat on time.

Walked slowly along the river back to his tent, cleaned his hands, and went to Wang Linjie's tent.

At this time, Wang Linjie's tent was not quiet. Fang Xinli and Wei Liangjun were reporting to him the precautions they had listed.

As soon as Jiang Jingyuan entered the tent, the voices of the two stopped abruptly, and their faces turned red.

Even though both of them were several years older than Jiang Jingyuan, they always felt like they couldn't hold their heads up in front of Jiang Jingyuan.

Jiang Jingyuan glanced at them lightly, nodded in greeting, walked to the cabinet where he kept his luggage, opened the door of the cabinet, and took out some of the food in the luggage.

Holding it in his hand, he ate slowly and left Wang Linjie's tent.

"He, he won't be eating the governor's food." Fang Xinli swallowed, and twitched his nose, as if he hadn't smelled the fresh aroma of the beef jerky in Jiang Jingyuan's hand.

Wei Liangjun shook his head, expressing that he was also in a daze. Could it be that Jiang Jingyuan and the governor are already so well?

----

The next day, at dawn, everyone was called up to dig and fill the embankment.

A group of people stood on both sides of the Qingshui River and kept thickening the embankment. Jiang Jingyuan observed it, and the river seemed to be a little longer than last night.

"My lord, is it useful to deepen the dam like this?" Jiang Jingyuan was deeply worried as he looked at the busy peasants.

Wang Linjie shook his head and said, "I don't know. It's a little bit of a defense. Now the amount of digging the canal is too big, and there's not enough time."

Wang Linjie was also a little worried. There were only more than 1 civilian husbands in the entire county of Wutong County. Although it seemed like a lot, it was far from enough to dig a channel to drain the flood.

"Pray that it doesn't rain. As long as it doesn't rain, the dam won't burst."

Wang Linjie looked up at the sky, silently hoping that it would not rain this year.

Jiang Jingyuan's deep eyes looked at the rushing river with a flash of worry.

Relying on God is unreliable.

Summer is so hot, even if it doesn't rain now, the reinforced embankment will still be unreliable in September.

"Okay, these are not things for you to think about, go down and do your work." Wang Linjie returned to the tent after observing the hot-blooded civilian husband for a while.

Jiang Jingyuan thought for a while and then went to work on his work. Although scholars like them don't need to buy energy, they have a lot to contribute.

It is necessary to arrange labor reasonably for the peasants, but also to appease their hearts, discover deficiencies in time and improve them.

On the first day, all the people were a little messy, and the distribution was a little unreasonable. They worked hard and worked hard, and they tried to be lazy in various ways.

At this speed, you will die of exhaustion, and die of idleness.

"You, and you, a few of you come out and carry the sandbags alone, and the rest are responsible for digging."

Jiang Jingyuan quickly found those lazy ones and asked them to carry the sandbags, so that it would not be easy to be lazy.

At the beginning, these people were a little reluctant, but Jiang Jingyuan would not let them do it, if he didn't want to do it, he would be punished by the criminal law.

At the end of the day, everyone was so tired that they were lying on the ground unwilling to get up.

The key is such high-intensity labor, but the food on the construction site is not very good, a bowl of porridge, a stack of pickles, and only breakfast and dinner are served.

Jiang Jingyuan is fine, Xu Shuizhou has prepared enough things, and he can hold a tooth sacrifice by himself, the key point is that he doesn't need high-intensity labor.

But these folk husbands can't do it, and they have to shed a layer of skin if they don't die after a month.

He also saw that many people did not drink hot water when they were tired, but ran into the river to quench their thirst with a handful of river water!

You must know that there are more than 1 people around, eating, drinking and drinking are all next to the Qingshui River, and I don’t know how many bacteria have been mixed in the river.

Back in the tent, Jiang Jingyuan sat down and meditated, and slowly recorded it with a charcoal pen on the paper he brought, and revised a part.

From the second day onwards, Jiang Jingyuan stopped letting everyone die, and those who moved the sandbags had to be changed within half an hour, so that people could not be exhausted to the point of collapse.

They were also not allowed to drink river water, and bought some mung beans in the kitchen with some money, and boiled a big pot of mung bean soup. If they were thirsty, they could drink mung bean soup to quench their thirst.

The civilian husbands who were recruited all had the mentality of not taking advantage of the bastards, and who would drink the unclean river water if they had good mung bean soup.

Others also wanted to learn from Jiang Jingyuan, but when they took out their wallets, they found that they had no money at all.

Mung beans are not expensive, and they are only five cents a catty, but they can't stand the crowd. Every scholar must have at least 500 people under his command.

500 people need ten catties of mung beans a day, and a tael of silver in a month, which can be afforded by wealthy families.

Some poor families are reluctant to part with this money.

Jiang Jingyuan's actions made Fang Xinli and Wei Liangjun very anxious. They were evenly matched, but Jiang Jingyuan was going to join forces for the first time.

"Brother Wei, I didn't expect Jiang Jingyuan to be so young, but so smart. If the two of us don't unite, we will really be a foil for him this time."

In fact, Fang Xinli felt very uncomfortable. He has always been admired by the stars. Whether it is family background or talent, he is top-notch in Wutong County.

I thought that this time things would definitely be better than the last outing in spring, but Fang Xinli is still somewhat famous in Wutong County.

But he didn't expect that he would die before he left the school. First, he didn't notify everyone to bring a salute, so he was already behind Jiang Jingyuan.

Really dizzy him completely.

But no matter what, Fang Xinli is not a person who retreats in the face of difficulties. Even if Jiang Jingyuan's jewels are in front of him, Fang Xinli will have to wrestle with Jiang Jingyuan's wrists.

Wei Liangjun stroked his chin, looked at Jiang Jingyuan's tent, then at Wang Linjie's tent, and pulled Fang Xinli aside to mutter.

"This idiot Jiang, you and I both know his character. It is impossible for him to have such a big change. Do you think he was instructed by an expert."

Fang Xinli slapped his head and thought it made sense. Jiang Jingyuan was quite dumbfounded when he was studying before, so why did it take so long for him to seem like a different person.

Fang Xinli reflected carefully, Jiang Jingyuan has changed a lot since the last spring outing, could it be that after that spring outing, Jiang Jingyuan was appreciated by the governor.

It's not impossible.

With the governor behind his back pointing, it makes sense for Jiang Jingyuan to become so smart all of a sudden.

"Then the two of us made green leaves for him." Fang Xinli suddenly turned from embarrassment into anger, and after a long time of messing around, Jiang Jingyuan took all the benefits.

Wei Liangjun pressed Fang Xinli, who was a little angry, "Be safe and don't be impatient. What can you do if you rush to him and beat him up now? Apart from ruining the governor's good opinion of you, there is no benefit."

"But when I think that all my hard work will end up in vain, I feel unwilling." Fang Xinli clenched his fists. If he was just an ordinary student, he certainly didn't care so much.

But he is a rookie in Wutong County, and he is also known as a second-talented talent with Wei Liangjun, so he must be a little bit upset to be robbed of the limelight by a brat.

"At this point, let's do our own job well. Even if we don't get the governor's favor, we can still gain experience and knowledge for ourselves."

Wei Liangjun was actually not reconciled in his heart, they had worked so hard for so long, and even visited the governor every now and then when they were in Datong, but what they got in return was Jiang Jingyuan who came out halfway.

But so what if you are not reconciled, how can everything go well in life, if you want to blame it, you can blame yourself for bad luck.

When the two were discussing, Jiang Jingyuan also squinted his eyes from a long distance away, and it happened that he wanted to talk to these two people about something.

When the two of them finished discussing and were about to leave, Jiang Jingyuan hurried over to keep them.

"You two please stay."

Wei Liangjun and Fang Xinli both stopped in unison, looking at Jiang Jingyuan with puzzled expressions.

The two still looked at each other, it couldn't be that Jiang Jingyuan overheard them when they secretly said bad things about Jiang Jingyuan just now.

"I have some things I want to talk to you two, I wonder if you can give me a credit." After Jiang Jingyuan finished speaking, he kept looking at the expressions of the two of them.

If he remembers correctly, it is rumored that these two people seem to have always been in harmony with each other, and it seems that this is not the case.

Although the rumors are all false.

"Please tell me." The two actually didn't want to talk to Jiang Jingyuan, after all, they were still angry with Jiang Jingyuan.

But the two leaders of the scholars were not so stingy that they insisted on going against Jiang Jingyuan.Since people are looking for someone to talk to, it doesn't hurt to listen.

Jiang Jingyuan took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to the two, "This is the river water level I recorded in the past two days. I found that the river water level is getting higher and higher."

"So what, we're not calling people to build a dam." The two looked at Jiang Jingyuan's records, and said indifferently.

Jiang Jingyuan shook his head, "If you calculate carefully, the water level is increasing every day, which means it must be raining in the south of the Yangtze River."

"And it's raining quite a bit. None of us knows if the rain will hit our Wutong County one day. Based on the current increase in water level and the speed of dam construction, the river will spread out of the dam in five days at most. , if it rains, the consequences will be more serious."

Jiang Jingyuan was definitely not alarmist, he also came to the conclusion after daily comparison and careful calculation.

Sure enough, when Wei Liangjun and Fang Xinli heard this, they immediately recalculated according to Jiang Jingyuan's thinking, and their faces were a little pale.

Everyone's family relies on the Qingshui River. If the Qingshui River breaks its embankment, the family will be ruined, and no one dares to gamble on it.

"Then you have a solution. Now this situation can only be achieved by digging a ditch to drain water. How can it be possible to dig a drainage ditch in the past five days, and where the water goes is also a problem."

The two were worthy of being the leaders of Wutong County, and they quickly thought of the crux of the problem.

"So I need your help. Where do you have topographic maps around here? I want to try to find a solution."

Wei Liangjun frowned slightly, "We can get the topographic map, but if we can solve it by looking at the topographic map, the imperial court has already thought of a solution, and we still need it."

Jiang Jingyuan smiled lightly, "If you don't try, how can you be sure if there is a solution? If you don't do anything and just wait, the two of you may wish to watch your family fall apart."

Indeed, if nothing is done, there will be no hope in the end, and everyone will suffer together.

Fang Xinli rolled his eyes, slapped his thigh and said, "We can give you the topographic map if you want it, and we will even be obliged to help you if you need help later, but you have to promise me to know the conditions."

"What conditions."

"I heard that you have collected a lot of money. Why don't you share some of it and make some mung bean soup for everyone. You can't enjoy the blessings of your people, and others can just watch."

Jiang Jingyuan smiled, Fang Xinli is really a master who does not want to suffer at all, and it is a good deal to buy a topographic map for more than ten taels of silver.

"Deal." Jiang Jingyuan immediately agreed without thinking, "But the time must be fast, and it will be too late if you wait any longer."

"Soon." Seeing Jiang Jingyuan's agreement, Fang Xinli ran back to his tent and began to search for topographical maps.

He remembered that he seemed to bring a map with him before going out, which should have the surrounding terrain, but he didn't know where it was stuffed by him.

It took a long time before he found the map in the straw in the corner, and after flipping through a few pages to make sure it was correct, he ran back to Jiang Jingyuan's side.

"Look, this is the topographic map of the surrounding area, including the entire county of Wutong County. Let me tell you, this book is hard to find. It was printed many years ago. If it wasn't for this time to preside over the corvee, I wouldn't have put it Get this book out."

Fang Xinli thought that having a topographic map like this would be an advantage, but it turned out to be completely useless, so he threw it in the corner.

----

Jiang Jingyuan flipped through the book, and although there was still a slight difference between the terrain above and the current terrain, the changes were not great anyway.

"It's useful. I'll take a look at the terrain in this book. Go tell the kitchen to make mung bean soup for everyone tomorrow, and I'll just pay for it later."

Jiang Jingyuan took the topographic map and began to look for the way around. It didn't take long for him to come to the foot of a small hill, and he climbed up the hill out of curiosity.

Standing on the hillside, you can see the busy farmers at the foot of the hill at a glance, but on the other side is an endless field of farmland.

After admiring the beautiful scenery for a long time, Jiang Jingyuan walked down the hill slowly. After he got down, he asked people again, and walked back to the tent in deep thought.

"What, have you gained anything?" Fang Xinli's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Jiang Jingyuan coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Jiang Jingyuan pursed his lips, shook his head with deep eyes, and said in a low voice, "There are farmlands outside, endless farmlands, do you have any good ideas?"

Wei Liangjun's eyes flickered for a moment, "I said that the court has thought of everything I can think of, how could it be so easy to think of a way."

"Then you can't give up, take a step back and your family will be ruined." Fang Xinli's face was not only pale, but his head was also a little dizzy.

Wutong County is the root of all of them. If it is gone, they don't know where to live, and where can they run.

"I didn't say give up, I'm sure I can figure out a way." Wei Liangjun snatched the topographic map from Jiang Jingyuan's hand and looked at it seriously.

"Perhaps, as long as the embankment is reinforced and raised to a higher point, it can prevent the embankment from breaking." Fang Xinli bit his lip heavily, and said while looking at the peasants in the distance.

Jiang Jingyuan shook his head in disapproval, "Qingshui River surrounds the entire Wutong County, unless the entire Wutong County is summoned to repair the dam, the dam can be raised and deepened, but this will definitely cause panic."

"And even if Wutong County is saved, other counties cannot be saved."

"Hey, this doesn't work, that doesn't work either. Could it be that we just sit and wait to die?" Fang Xinli scratched his hair and sat on the ground weakly.

"I have a way, go to the temple to pray for blessings, and pray to God to bless us with good weather, maybe there is no chance of life yet." Wei Liangjun looked at the picture, and his mind turned around, but he really couldn't think of a solution, and finally broke the jar and smashed it. said.

Fang Xinli glanced at him angrily, "If it is useful to pray to the Buddha, I am now a minister, okay? Why don't I take the imperial examination?"

"That's right." Wei Liangjun closed the book and returned the topographic map to Fang Xinli.

"Jiang Jingyuan is looking for someone."

Just when the three of them were silent, a soldier shouted at Jiang Jingyuan.

Jiang Jingyuan got up confused, he didn't know who was looking for him, he followed the footsteps of the soldiers out of the camp, and at a glance he saw the lovely man standing in the middle of the road, waiting eagerly.

"How did you find this place?" Jiang Jingyuan stepped forward in three steps at a time, both joyful and surprised.

Xu Shuizhou blinked, showing a nice smile, and the dimples on his cheeks were slightly intoxicating, "Grandpa told me, I can't think of it."

Jiang Jingyuan pinched Xu Shuizhou's cheek happily, "I really didn't expect my husband to be so smart."

"How are you living here? I see a lot of people." Xu Shuizhou poked his head into the camp and saw that it was densely packed with people.

"It's okay, except that the sleeping place is a bit smelly and the people are a bit crowded, everything else is fine."

Jiang Jingyuan frowned slightly. He was actually not used to this kind of place. He had never lived in such a poor environment in his two lifetimes. Even a tent for camping was much better than such a casual tent.

Xu Shuizhou pursed his lips and showed a embarrassed smile, "I can't help you with where you live, but I have prepared everything else for you."

Xu Shuizhou said and stuffed his burden into Jiang Jingyuan's arms, "The more I thought about it after you left that day, the more something went wrong. You didn't bring the mosquito repellent ointment at night. What if you were bitten by mosquitoes, what should you do, and the clothes to wash up with?" , as well as food and other preparations are a bit small, I brought them here specially for you today."

Seeing the burden about the size of a small mountain in front of him, Jiang Jingyuan felt both sweet and heavy in his heart.

"Why don't you open it and see if there is anything missing. I came here on a horse, and I traveled fast." Xu Shuizhou pointed to the horse tied in the distance.

Jiang Jingyuan put the burden on the ground and hugged Xu Shuizhou heavily, holding him in his arms with hatred, sucking the smell of him greedily.

But it's only been a day or two, but he feels like it's been years.

At this moment, he was a little reluctant to let go, and wanted to freeze this moment forever.

Xu Shuizhou's heart was beating very hard, he seemed to have never seen A Yuan so vulnerable.

Slowly raised his hand to Jiang Jingyuan's back, and patted his back slowly like coaxing a child, with a hint of sweetness in his mouth, "What's the matter, did something happen?"

"If someone bullies you, I'll beat him up for you. I beat people up very hard. I've seen my sons and grandchildren's legs cut off. I hit every hit."

The more Xu Shuizhou talked, the more he was sure that his A Yuan must have been bullied. He had never seen A Yuan so vulnerable. If he hadn't been bullied, how could he be so.

Don't let him know who did it!

"puff……"

Jiang Jingyuan was thoroughly amused by Xu Shuizhou's words, and the smog that was still shrouded in his heart just now disappeared in an instant.

Thinking of the people they fought together to snatch the marriage on the day of their marriage, Xu Shuizhou's extremely high hit rate of cutting off the legs of his children and grandchildren is really a good memory.

Greedily attached to the smell of sunshine on Xu Shuizhou's body, he leaned in his arms and lazily said, "It's okay, I just miss you."

A Yuan said he missed him!

Xu Shuizhou raised his heart to his throat, touched Jiang Jingyuan's head resting on his shoulder, and said happily, "Actually, I miss A Yuan very much too. I'm not used to the days without A Yuan sleeping next to me." .”

After Xu Shuizhou finished speaking, he regretted it, and secretly bit his tongue. Wouldn't his words make A Yuan more worried about him.

"Well, I know." Jiang Jingyuan put his arms around Xu Shuizhou's slender waist, and was reluctant to let go for a while.

Speaking of it, it seemed that he had never hugged Ah Zhou so far before, Jiang Jingyuan actually felt deep regret in his heart at this moment.

If I had known it before, I would have slept with Ah Zhou's arms day and night, no matter what kind of etiquette and shame he is, anyway, the two of them are married, so cuddling is a normal thing.

It's a pity that it's too late to regret, and time can't go back.

At this moment, Jiang Jingyuan wished he could be attached to Xu Shuizhou's body all the time like a pendant.

He was so afraid that the next second would be flooded, and all the beauty of this moment would be washed away.

I don't know how long it took, until Jiang Jingyuan's arm was a little numb, so he reluctantly let go of him.

"Are you going to Datong?" Jiang Jingyuan knew very well that if he hadn't been in a hurry, Ah Zhou wouldn't have given him something in just a few days.

"Yeah." Xu Shuizhou nodded with his head hooked, revealing a touch of whiteness on the back of his neck. It may be because Jiang Jingyuan was too hard just now, which made his clothes a little loose.

Jiang Jingyuan tidied his clothes carefully, and told him softly, "Be careful when you go out, especially this clothes must be tighter for me."

"And the lotus in your hand should also be covered. I'm no longer by your side. You can only rely on yourself for everything. Be careful."

Jiang Jingyuan raised Xu Shuizhou's hand again as he spoke, and stroked the lotus on the back of his hand carefully. It was very comfortable and had a textured feeling that made people reluctant to let it go.

Xu Shuizhou was a little dazed, and his two black pearl-like eyes were shining brightly, "A Yuan, the person who should pay more attention is you, I am going to Datong for business rather than sightseeing, but you It’s much harder than me to be exposed to wind and sun all day long.”
