Seeing the teasing in Ye Lin's eyes, Xiji, who was originally very confident, suddenly became a little uncertain. Thinking of the broken silver in his bag, he pursed his lips, with a troubled expression on his face.

He wasn't sure if his money was enough, but the prices in this world were not high, so it shouldn't cost much to repair a waterwheel, right?

With this in mind, Xiji looked up at Ye Lin, nodded affirmatively, and said firmly, "I think my money is enough to repair it."

"Oh? Then can you tell me, how much money do you have now? And what do you want to repair?" Ye Lin didn't have any displeasure on his face when he heard him say that. Looking at Xiji, he asked with a smile on his lips.

When Xiji heard him ask this question, he blinked his eyes, thought for a while, and then confessed his thoughts, "I still have 100 taels of silver. The waterwheel I want to build is like this..."

Ye Lin listened quietly to what he said, and didn't interrupt him during this period. He only looked into his eyes after he finished speaking, and said lightly: "Even though I haven't done this kind of project, but I also know that your money is not enough just to hire a few reliable carpenters, and the thing you are going to do is so big that you need a lot of wood and helpers. Do you think that with the money you have With this little money, can you build the waterwheel you want?"

Xiji was stunned by the reasons he said, and after thinking about it, he found that he didn't have enough money, and felt a little sad.

He turned his head and looked at Ye Lin who was waiting to see his own joke, and felt a little aggrieved. He subconsciously pursed his lips, looked at Ye Lin and said, "These peasants are the people under your rule. You really don't think about it. Can you do me a favor?"

"I have always collected the least amount of taxes. If there is no need for other exorbitant taxes, I will never collect them." Ye Lin looked at him fixedly, and the meaning in his words was self-evident.As the overlord of one party, he is already a benevolent master, why should he think so much about the people below.

After getting along with Ye Lin for a long time, Xiji can naturally understand the meaning of his words, and even feel that there is some truth in his words, but he is still a little unwilling, racking his brains for a while, trying to persuade him, " If there is a waterwheel, their harvest this year will definitely not be so bad, won't you have more taxes?"

Ye Lin looked at Xiji trying to convince himself, seeing him anxious like a kitten who couldn't eat, and said indifferently: "In the place I manage, all the taxes collected are provided to the Yewang Mansion. More than enough."

Seeing Ye Lin who can't chat like this, Xiji was going to die of anger, but now she has something to ask for, and she didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction at all. She stared at Ye Lin for a few seconds, as if thinking of something, her face slowly changed. Turning red, he stumbled and said, "If you can help me fix the water tanker, I will, um, take good care of you."

Cough, anyway, he has lost his integrity so many times, and this time is not bad, and he felt that the Night King hung himself for so long because of this sentence.

Who knows that this time the Night King seems to be determined, and he doesn't follow the routine at all. He looks indifferent to Xiji's words.

Ye Lin poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and then under Xiji's expectant gaze, broke his hope, "Even if I don't help you, you still have to serve me well, so I Why bother to help you?"

Xiji gritted his teeth secretly, and finally looked at Ye Lin desperately and said, "We can play something different today." He didn't believe it, and it wouldn't impress a person who would be perverted at night.

Sure enough, after Xiji finished speaking, Ye Lin stared at his flushed face for a while, then nodded in agreement.

That night, Xiji tried her best to make Ye Lin feel comfortable.Seeing the man who was comfortable all over, although Xiji was a little ashamed, she also faintly felt a little bit of secret pride.

This powerful and perverted man would only show such a gesture in front of him.

But soon, he felt a chill all over, and felt a sense of danger, and followed that line of sight to look over.I saw that the Night King, who did not know when he came back to his senses, was staring at him with a cold gaze that he had never seen before, making his scalp numb, and he involuntarily backed away, wanting to stay away.

Who knew that as soon as he made a move, he was quickly dragged back by the Night King, laying on his body, looking at each other, Xiji even saw the killing intent in his eyes clearly, this is what he said every time Can be seen when he kills.

Feeling the strength on his neck that was enough to strangle him, Xiji felt that it was becoming difficult for him to breathe, and even tears came out of the corners of his eyes because of fear.

Ye Lin looked at the little brother in his hand whose face was turning red due to lack of oxygen, leaned close to him, and asked in an inaudible tone, "Who did you learn these things from?"

Xiji, who was strangled by the neck, couldn't speak at all. When Ye Lin realized this, he coughed violently as soon as he let go of him. He was extremely uncomfortable but didn't dare to provoke him anymore, and said intermittently: "Yes, I, look, picture book, learned."

It's not like he's lying when he said this, the former aunt's aunt did not know what was going on for a while, she found an elderly brother to teach him some knowledge in this area.Although the ignorant original body didn't understand why, he didn't dare to disobey what his aunt said, so he blushed and followed suit.

Of course, with the development of the modern Internet, when he was young, he was dragged by his friends to watch some indescribable small movies because of his curiosity. I haven't watched it again after a few, but I still learned some things that should be learned.

It’s not a lie to say it now. Even if I didn’t pinch my neck, it was still attached to it. Thinking of the feeling of suffocation just now, Xiji felt very wronged. His eyes were red from coughing just now. , Gradually tears came.

Seeing this, Ye Lin, who had been watching his expression, forced him to look up at himself, staring at the grievance in his eyes, and said coldly: "Apart from me, no one else has touched you?"

Xiji felt that this kind of question was humiliating, but he also realized that if he didn't answer, he might be strangled to death by Ye Lin on the spot.So, he could only nod his head aggrievedly, and said, "Yes."

Ye Lin looked at him, still in disbelief.

Seeing Ye Lin ready to strangle him to death at any time, Xiji felt his nose ache, and he was a little sad, obviously enough to compromise, but now he still treats him like this.

The unease encountered after crossing, the grievances encountered all the time, came to my heart at this moment, and Xiji's tears finally couldn't bear it, and slid down her cheeks drop by drop.

Ye Lin looked at Xiji who was crying sadly in front of him, and was stunned for a moment.This is a person who has never cried whether he met a dead person or experienced threats on weekdays.

Now crying so sadly in front of me, the tears are dripping down on my hands, there is not much temperature but it makes people feel a little hot.

The strength in Ye Lin's hand gradually relaxed, looking at his crying face, with the dirt on the corners of his mouth, his gaze fell to his fair neck, where he had drawn a circle of red marks.

Seeing such a sad Xiji, the anger that Ye Lin had just raised in his heart, because Xiji had been possessed by others long ago, was drowned by his tears at this moment, and even a little bit of heartache appeared. .

Ye Lin covered his chest with one hand, and stared sharply at the person who brought him this strange emotion, but he couldn't do anything anymore.

After a long time, he sighed softly and poured the weeping Xiji into his arms. The aloof king finally admitted his mistake, "It was my mistake."

Xiji was crying just because of the depression for so long, but now he is crying because of his longing for going home. He didn't hear what Ye Lin said to him, so he cried and said: "I want to go home."

He wants to go back to the modern age where there are no frequent deaths, no wars, and no so many disputes. There are no people who want to kill him at every turn, only his small restaurant and his family.

Hearing what he said, Ye Lin's eyes flickered, and he didn't speak, but pressed his head into his arms, making him cry all at once.

It wasn't until Xiji cried and fell asleep at last that Ye Lin released him from his arms, stared at his crying face, and remained silent for a while.Until he realized something, he put the person on the bed and fell asleep, and left the room by himself.

The next day, when Xiji woke up, she found that she was alone in the big bed. Thinking of her behavior yesterday, Xiji felt angry and ashamed. The anger was that Ye Lin wanted to kill him, and the shame was that she cried yesterday. so miserable.

Thinking of this, Xiji gave himself a long time of psychological construction, and then slowly came out of the room, thinking about how he should treat Wang with complicated emotions if he met him.

Xiji was very entangled in his heart, but no matter how entangled he was, he still had to face it, but what he didn't expect was that instead of waiting for the Night King, he waited for a master who was proficient in carpentry.

Xiji looked at the old master, and looked strangely at the white shirt who led him in.

Aware of Xiji's question, Baishan bowed to him and said politely: "This is the task that the king entrusted to me. He told me to help you, son, to fulfill your wish."

Xiji pursed her lips, looking a little helpless, but quickly nodded again and thanked Bai Shirt.

The white shirt saluted respectfully and then left, leaving behind the guard beside him, saying that he was always waiting for Xiji's orders.

In the next few days, Xiji and the old master figured out the model of the waterwheel bit by bit.

During this period, the Night King never appeared. At first, Xiji was not used to it, but soon he was glad that he had regained his freedom. After ignoring the faint sadness in his heart, Xiji felt that his life was happy. Extremely.

"Wang, our mission here has almost been completed, and we can go back in a few days." After Mr. Guo reported the mission in hand to Ye Lin, he said something conclusive.

Ye Lin didn't react too much after hearing it. Looking at the sparrow outside the window, he asked calmly, "How about the things Mr. Xi is going to do?"

"The model has been completed, and now it is time to build the waterwheel to scale."

Ye Lin looked at the sparrow on the branch outside the window, but couldn't see any emotion, and ordered: "After he finishes, we can talk about going back."

"Yes."
