Jiangshan is hired [rebirth]

Chapter 29

"Oh, I thought it was a thief from somewhere. Why didn't you come in when you came? The door wasn't locked." Gingko opened the door and made a big call, and joked to Huo Lan, "Go out and become a hero." When you come back, you have to wait for someone to open the door."

Although Huo Lan put away his hands and feet when Ginkgo approached the door, the emotion in his eyes hadn't had time to hide, when he was suddenly bumped into, his face was full of panic and bewilderment.Her hair was not dry, and she leaned limply against the sides of her face, looking pitiful.

"What's the matter?" Gingko asked suspiciously when she saw that her expression was not right.

Huo Lan didn't answer, and looked straight at Yun Miaoqing in the room.The memories in her mind just now were too painful, she urgently needed to confirm that Yun Miaoqing was still fine, and that she still had a chance to protect Yun Miaoqing.

"I'm going back if there's nothing else to do." Wen Taicang glanced at Huo Lan's wet hair, then withdrew his gaze and bid farewell to Yun Miaoqing.

Although Yun Zhimiao adopted him as his adopted son when he was alive, he can be regarded as Yun Miaoqing's elder brother, but after all, he is not a blood relative. Wen Taicang always pays attention to avoiding suspicion, and will not stay too late with Yun Miaoqing.

Yun Miaoqing watched Wen Taicang leave, and said to the two who were still standing at the door: "What are you two doing standing there?"

Ginkgo turned her head: "You have to ask her, why did you lose your soul?"

Yun Miaoqing waved at Huo Lan, and the person who was still motionless like a puppet came to life in an instant, walked to Yun Miaoqing step by step and sat down.

"It turns out that I'm not big enough to invite us Huo Lan into the house." Ginkgo closed the door again, pretending to be sour.

Huo Lan hugged her knees and curled up into a ball. Now she was like a little beast that had been fighting against a strong enemy for a day. She was majestic outside, but she finally retracted her paws to reveal her soft side when she returned to her own lair.

"Are you scared?" Yun Miaoqing asked as she lifted Huo Lan's wet hair on her side and let her pillow it on her lap.

"I just heard that the elder brother said that you have wiped out the gang of robbers today, which is considered a complete victory. If you are scared, the gang of robbers should be frightened. Why are you so listless?" Yin Xing was puzzled.

"How can this be the same thing?" Yun Miaoqing straightened Huo Lan's hair, and returned to Ginkgo without raising her head, "She killed several murderers today, so it's normal to be scared. Don't tell me otherwise Even a chicken would not dare to kill someone.”

"Who says I don't dare to kill chickens? I'll show you tomorrow!" Yun Miaoqing said, Ginkgo suddenly found something to prove herself, and clapped her hands happily, "That's it, I'll go to Aunt Han in a while and tell her that tomorrow's chickens are left for me to kill."

Huo Lan was not very energetic at all, and Ginkgo was a chatterbox, so she couldn't get in the middle of the conversation, so it took a while to answer Yun Miaoqing's previous question.

"I didn't scare you..." Her voice was so small, if it wasn't for her closeness, Yun Miaoqing might not have been able to hear Ginkgo talking non-stop.

It was true that she was not frightened, to be precise, she was not frightened by the enemy, but the things that were deep in Huo Lan's memory made her very uneasy.

"Can I sleep here tonight? Just sleep on the floor, or a floor bunk." She stretched her arms and looked at Yun Miaoqing and begged. Only by staying beside Yun Miaoqing could she feel more at ease.

Before Yun Miaoqing could answer, Gingko robbed her again: "Such an adult is acting coquettishly, just now you said that you became a hero, and you turned back into a little devil before you lasted a day? I told you to sleep with us." You have to collect money in the lady's room, I heard that the elder brother said that the magistrate gave you a reward today, how much is it?"

The previous words were just foreshadowing, Ginkgo just wanted to know how much bounty Huo Lan got. She asked Wen Taicang just now, but Wen Taicang didn't tell her.

Huo Lan truthfully explained: "Including Brother Wen's share, there are two thousand coins together."

"Yes, Huo Lan. Miss gave the head catcher a thousand dollars last time, and you got two thousand dollars this time. After all, we've earned a thousand dollars!"

"What 'we', that's Huo Lan's money, don't lie to her to take it out and buy things for you." Yun Miaoqing knew what Gingko was up to once she heard it.

"What are you doing seeing me like this? Huo Lan has lived in our house for so long, and we are considered a family with us. A family spends money on each other, how can we say 'cheating'!" Ginkgo made a lot of nonsense, and finally looked at Huo Lan He asked proudly, "Is that right, Huo Lan?"

"Would you like it? I'll give it to you." Huo Lan seemed to be answering Gingko's words, but his eyes were only on Yun Miaoqing, obviously the "you" was not referring to Ginkgo.

"Huo Xiaolan!" Ginkgo shouted.

"What are you doing?" Yun Miaoqing smiled and hugged Huo Lan.

"Why should I give it to you and not me!" Gingko snorted angrily.

"Of course it's because I protect her." Yun Miaoqing lifted Huo Lan's chin to tease her, "We Huo Xiaolan also said that we would repay me with a promise of body, didn't we?"

"Who said that!" Huo Lan blushed instantly.

"Last time here, you said that I can't repay you for being so good to you, and I can only promise you with my body."

Last time Huo Lan imitated Yun Miaoqing's speech in the carriage, this time Yun Miaoqing imitated her, but last time Huo Lan learned that sentence Yun Miaoqing really said, but at this moment Yun Miaoqing clearly said Take what she said to ridicule Huo Lan back up.

She is not like Huo Lan who would feel a little embarrassed after imitating her. Yun Miaoqing has a thicker skin than a city wall, and Hu Lan has never seen Yun Miaoqing shy in his two lifetimes combined.Now she imitated Huo Lan's tone and pretended to be innocent with her big eyes open. Because her acting was too exaggerated, she looked strangely funny.

Probably this is the effect she wanted, Huo Lan was annoyed and funny looking at it, the cloud that had been lingering in her heart just now was dispelled by Yun Miaoqing's disturbance unconsciously.

"You two really don't see eye to eye. Forget it, I'll go back to my room and go to sleep." The other party is obviously two women, but Gingko still feels that she is going to be blinded, and she doesn't want to stay here and listen to the two of them flirting. After spreading the quilt for Yun Miaoqing, she went back to her own room.

"So can I sleep in your room?"

Huo Lan played with Yun Miaoqing for a while, and his mood improved a lot. When he asked the same question again, he was not as pitiful as before.In fact, she no longer has that strong sense of uneasiness that needs to be by Yun Miaoqing's side to calm down, but since she has said everything before, she still wants to take this opportunity to cling to Yun Miaoqing for another night.

"If I say no, will you honestly go back to sleep?" Yun Miaoqing asked back.

Huo Lan pretended to think about it, and replied, "I will beg you again."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head, the corners of her mouth curved.Ever since he found out that he likes Yun Miaoqing, Huo Lan fell in love with this behavior of testing Yun Miaoqing's bottom line, and felt a different kind of sweetness from Yun Miaoqing's compromising and pampering her.

"Then you still ask!" Yun Miaoqing poked Huo Lan's forehead, her eyes were full of smiles.

Huo Lan's little trick succeeded, and happily went back to her room to bring the quilt, and along with the quilt was a small box, which contained the money she had been saving all along, including the two thousand cash bounty she got from Zhang Yuanbai this time. .

"This is for you!" Huo Lan spread the quilt on the floor of Yun Miaoqing's bedroom, and handed the small box containing money to Yun Miaoqing.

Yun Miaoqing opened it and took a look, then smiled and said, "Give it to me, is this all your belongings?"

Huo Lan nodded.

"What are you doing, handing over your private money?"

"It's not private money." Huo Lan said in a muffled voice as she pushed herself into the bed.

Although Ginkgo's words were unreasonable, she thought it was right. She handed over her own money to Yun Miaoqing, and Yun Miaoqing and Yun Miaoqing became "family". The two of them had a small treasury that they could share!

"Why are you smirking, don't cover your head when you sleep." Yun Miaoqing squatted down and tore off the quilt from Huo Lan's head, and wrapped it around her neck for her, "I don't need your money, if you insist on giving it to me, I will I will keep it for you, and come to me to get it whenever you need it.”

After hearing Yun Miaoqing's words, Huo Lan was a little disappointed. Then she thought that Yun Miaoqing could save it for her. When she saved enough money in the future, she could directly propose marriage to Yun Miaoqing!

Huo Lan doesn't know if there are any girls in this world who would like girls, let alone whether two girls can marry each other, but this doesn't stop her from fantasizing about the day when she will marry Yun Miaoqing, and for this reason, there will be another burst of love. Steal fun.

But how much dowry do you have to save to marry someone with Yun Miaoqing's status?Huo Lan didn't know the customs very well, besides, Yun Miaoqing used to live in the capital, the rules might be different from theirs here.

She roughly calculated that Yun Miaoqing had tricked Bao Ying that day, and she paid more than 3 yuan, which is more than six taels of gold, and this was not counting the money Yun Miaoqing bought the six pieces of jewelry that day.

With this expense, if she wanted to marry Yun Miaoqing, she would have to prepare at least a dowry gift of three to five hundred gold.

One tael of gold is six guan coins, 500 taels of gold is three thousand guan coins, one tael of gold is one thousand wen, three thousand guan coins are...

Huo Lan was staring at him.

No, change the algorithm.Normally, she would earn a consistent bounty for participating in this bandit suppression. She had seen the bounty notices in the state capital, which were usually more than those in the county government, and the most could be ten consecutive rewards.Assuming that she can complete one bulletin board a month, three thousand pennies is more than 300 months, which is 25 years...

Not to mention whether there were more than 300 notices for her to reveal, these 25 or [-] years alone would be too long, by then Yun Miaoqing might have married someone else! ! !

Apart from this, Huo Lan couldn't think of a way to make more money, and the little joy he gathered just now because of the fantasy of marrying Yun Miaoqing was instantly replaced by worries.

What if the person you like is too rich?It's so annoying to me, let's forget about it and go to sleep, I have everything in my dream, I hope today I can repeat the sweet dream of marrying Yun Miaoqing last time.

In fact, Huo Lan didn't really want to go to bed so soon, it was rare to be able to sleep in Yun Miaoqing's room, she wanted to talk to Yun Miaoqing more.

However, she was really tired today, not because she was physically tired. Although she had fought with the bandits several times during the day, it was less than half of her usual training volume.But fighting with people's lives is different from rehearsals. Her spirit has always been tense, and she was stimulated a little after the next action. Now she returned to a comfortable environment. After relaxing, she felt extremely tired and entered the Dreamland.

The next morning, Huo Lan got up as usual and went to Bailu Mountain to find Wen Taicang. The battle yesterday made her realize that what she had learned was far from enough, especially when she saw Wen Taicang leading away the group of people in front of the ancestral hall. .

She had no doubt that if it wasn't for taking her, this gang of thirty bandit Wen Taicang wouldn't even need the group of arrests, and he could assassinate all of them by himself in the dead of night.

There may not be many people who are better than Wen Taicang outside, but there must be many people who are better than yesterday's robbers. I am still far behind them, and I can't waste a day.

After training all morning, Huo Lan followed Wen Taicang back, and before entering the back door, he heard Ginkgo shouting from inside.

"It's gone over there! Catch it quickly!"

"Ahhh it pecked at me!"

"Forget if you can't catch that one, catch this one, come and help me block it!"

Huo Lan pushed open the small door suspiciously, only to hear Ginkgo scream: "Don't open the door!"

Before Huo Lan could see the inside clearly, something was flying towards her face accompanied by a fluttering sound.

Huo Lan moved sideways, and a big rooster flew out screaming, and then several little hens also jumped out from the door Hu Lan opened.

"Close the door quickly, they will all run away in a while!" Ginkgo said urgently.

Huo Lan hurried in with Wen Taicang and inserted the door from behind.

In the backyard, Xiaohe, Aliang, Azhu, and the few who often help in the backyard kitchen are almost all here.Their faces were covered with sweat in the cold weather, and there were still a few chicken feathers stuck to Ginkgo's head.

Ah Zhu probably couldn't run anymore, so she stood aside to wipe the sweat off her forehead, while Xiao He and the others chased behind a few chicken butts with Ginkgo.

"What are you doing, where is Aunt Han?" Huo Lan asked curiously.

"Didn't Aunt Han say that she wanted to go back to her mother's house two days ago? Sister Gingko said this morning that she would give Aunt Han a three-day vacation, and she also said that she would kill a chicken of Aunt Han. Aunt Han originally said that she would catch her and tie her up before leaving. Ginkgo Sister Fei said she wanted to catch it by herself..."

Thinking of the scene in the morning, Ah Zhu couldn't laugh or cry, she shouldn't have come to see this today, she might as well pretend to be sick and hide in the room to sleep.

In the morning, Aunt Han heard what Ginkgo said, so she left in peace.Aunt Han is not like they came from the capital with the owner's house. She is a local. Since the house was built, she has lived here with her husband, Uncle Wang who is the gatekeeper, and is responsible for taking care of the flowers and plants here. Where is it? The windows are broken and the tiles are broken and repaired.

Because I have never lived with them before, I don’t know that Ginkgo has a sharp mouth. I have never caught a chicken. I just opened the chicken coop and stretched my hand in. When the chicken inside was pecked, I screamed in fright, and the chicken coop door was forgotten. When it was closed, all the chickens inside ran out.

She still couldn't catch the chickens locked in the coop, let alone the ones that escaped, but Xiaohe and Azhu usually just help out, and they have never caught a chicken like this before. Four or five people just let this group of chickens play tricks One morning.

Ginkgo was about to catch up with one, but the chicken flapped its wings suddenly when she stretched out her hand, which made her shrink back and let the chicken run away again.

She was so tired that she was out of breath, turned her head and saw Huo Lan still standing by the door, and shouted at Huo Lan: "Hey, Huo Lan, don't be dazed, help me catch it!"

Huo Lan is proficient at catching chickens. After all, she has been chasing after chickens every day since she started learning martial arts. It's just that it was a pheasant caught by Wen Taicang. There is not much room for them to run if they want to run.

Huo Lan caught one without much effort.Compared with those pheasants fleeing all over the mountain, the chicken raised by Aunt Han can be said to be so stupid that it bumped into her.She used practical actions to prove that Wen Taicang's statement that people who eat a lot should not run faster than chickens that eat less is wrong-look at Aunt Han who feeds these chickens and eats too much, but they can't run fast!

Of course, this is largely due to the fact that she has been training for half a year, and her speed has improved greatly compared to the beginning. It may also be that these chickens are exhausted after being chased by Ginkgo and others all morning. Ginkgo caught one.

Huo Lan handed the caught chicken to Gingko's hand. Gingko just grabbed the chicken's wings, and the chicken thumped and frightened Ginkgo screamed, if it wasn't for Huo Lan's sharp eyes and hands, he quickly helped her , the chicken had to fly away again.

"Or I'll do it." Huo Lan said helplessly.

"No!" Ginkgo firmly refused.

She likes to act chivalrously, and she was actually very envious of Huo Lan yesterday, but she also saw Huo Lan's hardships for practicing martial arts in the past six months.She asked herself that she didn't have Huo Lan's perseverance, and it was very cool to think about such things as happy and enmity, but she was a little scared if she really wanted her to go with Huo Lan, Wen Taicang and the others to kill bandits and enemies with a knife.

I am afraid because I am afraid that I will not be able to beat the bandits, but what is so scary about chickens!If you can't beat the gangsters, can't you kill the chicken?The young lady’s words yesterday reminded her that she could imagine the chicken as a bad person to be judged by justice, so that she could also have an addiction to justice at home.

It's a pity that the road of being a hero is destined to be full of ups and downs. With the help of everyone, she finally completed the first step of "fighting for justice" - catching the chicken, how could she give up just like that!

"Hold it well, and I'll kill it." Gingko directed Huo Lan into the kitchen and pressed the chicken on the cutting board.After a whole morning of tossing, Ginkgo felt that he had understood it—it seems that in the great business of killing chickens, catching the chicken is the most difficult thing. Now that the most difficult problem has been solved, isn’t killing it just a matter of killing the chicken? ?

Ginkgo held the kitchen knife tightly and raised it high, but it couldn't fall down as easily as she imagined. Looking at the neck of the chicken turning around, she always felt that something terrible would happen if the knife was cut down.

"Are you sure it's like this?" Huo Lan reminded Gingko in a low voice, "Why do I feel that other people kill chickens like this..."

"Shut up, don't talk to me!" Gingko is now building up her momentum, and she wants to paint her whole body with the disguise of "I'm fierce" and "I'm super fierce".

After a few deep breaths, Ginkgo felt that he was almost brewing, raised the kitchen knife again, shouted loudly, and slashed down with the force of the sound.

"How? Is he dead?"

Ginkgo closed her eyes before the knife fell, but now that the knife had hit the chopping board, she still didn't dare to open her eyes to look.

Her answer was two "cuckoo", Ginkgo raised half of her eyelids, and saw the chicken clenched its neck, and its head was still an inch away from her knife.

Ginkgo let out a long breath and refused to admit defeat: "Come again!"

This time she closed her eyes again, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Huo Lan holding the chicken and hiding away.

"What are you doing standing so far away!"

"If you don't hide away, I will lose my hand in a while."

After hearing Huo Lan's answer, Ginkgo looked down and saw that her knife was falling on the edge of the cutting board. If Huo Lan hadn't dodged, she would have chopped her hand just now.

"What are you doing?" With a question, Yun Miaoqing appeared at the kitchen door.

"Miss." The little girls around the kitchen door watching Ginkgo kill the chicken all lowered their heads in salute, making way for Yun Miaoqing.

"Miss, why are you here?" Ginkgo pulled the knife from the cutting board embarrassingly, and carried it behind her.She swore yesterday that she could kill chickens, but a chicken hadn't been killed yet.

"I see you've been yelling all morning, if you don't take another look, I'm afraid we won't have lunch today." Yun Miaoqing approached, took the kitchen knife from Gingko's hand, and called Huo Lan over, holding the chicken head with one hand, Two or three times, the hair under the chicken's neck was plucked, and then the throat was cut cleanly with a knife, and the dripping blood was caught with a bowl.

"Okay, let's finish eating quickly, Huo Lan has to go to class after eating." Yun Miaoqing turned around after speaking, and left under the surprised eyes of everyone.

"Oh my god, Miss can kill chickens!"

After Yun Miaoqing left, Xiaohe and the others sighed, they were young, they hadn't been in the mansion for a long time, and they didn't always serve Yun Miaoqing, so they were very surprised.

"What's the matter, there are a lot of things for young ladies!" Ginkgo is the one who has followed Yun Miaoqing the longest among these people. Although she is a little embarrassed that she didn't kill a chicken, she is still very proud when it comes to her young lady.

After the two chops just now, she already knew that she didn't have the guts to kill chickens, but so many people looked a little bit embarrassed, but fortunately, the young lady showed up in time, which was a relief for her.

It seems that not everyone can become a hero.Ginkgo's dream of being a hero was shattered before it took off, and when she looked at Huo Lan again, there was a hint of admiration in her eyes.

Huo Lan didn't know that Gingko had been thinking so many twists and turns in her mind for a short while, and it was also the first time for her to watch Yun Miaoqing kill a chicken, but she was not as surprised as Xiao He and the others.When she fled together in her previous life, she also saw Yun Miaoqing do more unexpected things. Yun Miaoqing is really an amazing person, she is obviously a lady, but she knows many weird things.

In her previous life, Yun Miaoqing was able to disembowel others without shaking her hands when she was ill, but now killing a chicken is really a piece of cake for her.Huo Lan recalled Yun Miaoqing's concentrated expression just now, Yun Miaoqing's appearance is actually not friendly, but she often has a smile on her face, which makes people feel kind. When she is serious like before and doesn't smile, she looks It's a little indifferent.

It's just that the indifferent appearance is also beautiful, like a fairy who doesn't eat fireworks!

In her heart, Huo Lan decorated Yun Miaoqing's figure just now into a painting, covered with a fairy's stamp, completely ignoring the fact that the fairy in her eyes did a "mundane thing" like killing a chicken just now.

After suppressing the bandits this time, Huo Lan gained experience, so she didn't need Yun Miaoqing to find opportunities for her. She took on several jobs to assist the government, not only in Songluan County, but also occasionally went to other nearby counties. Come back in three to five days.One year flies by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it has been two years since she first met Yun Miaoqing when she was reborn.

It was Qingming day, Yun Miaoqing and Wen Taicang went up the mountain to pay respects to their deceased father, because there were more sacrifices to be taken, Ginkgo also went with them, leaving Huo Lan alone in the room to read and write articles.

The books Huo Lan reads are getting more and more profound now, and this one in his hand is particularly obscure.Yun Miaoqing was not by her side, she didn't even have anyone to ask, she studied hard for a while and still made no progress, and Yun Miaoqing and the others should be back soon, so she got up and went to the window to move her body, thinking about waiting Yun Miaoqing will talk when she comes back.

She stood still in front of the window, stretched her arms, and suddenly saw a strange carriage approaching the gate of Yunzhai on the road in the distance.

The author has something to say: that... can I discuss it with everyone, now I basically update five or six thousand words every day, and I don’t have any manuscripts to update. I’m really tired from writing from morning to night every day. One day off for six days, so that I can also have one day to deal with some of my personal affairs, sort out the next plot and so on.It’s okay to just take a rest every Sunday, I will try to do more QAQ in the updated days
