Zheng Quchi looked up and saw a black shadow falling out of control. He waved his helpless arms and leaned back. She subconsciously tightened the iron rope with one arm and reached out to fish it out with the other hand——
The person rolled into her arms smoothly and smoothly, causing pain in her soft flesh.
Fortunately, she had appropriate protection on her chest, otherwise such a violent collision might have knocked her out.
"T-Thank you for saving me."
The man gasped for air and was still frightened, but he still thanked her in a weak voice for the first time.
Zheng Quchi turned his head and looked over. He was a very young man, about eighteen or nineteen years old. He was at the age between a child and an adult.
She has willow-shaped eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, a round oval face, and her overall appearance is slightly more feminine, but she seems to lack masculinity.
She thought inappropriately at this moment that Yu Wensheng usually took off his general uniform and acted quite sickly and gentle, but how could he not be as girly as him?
"You're welcome, just hold on tight."
The subtext is, if you feel better, get away from me quickly. It’s no joke that Bai Laijin’s importance is pressing down on me.
The man woke up with a start and quickly grabbed the iron rope. His sleeves slipped down to his elbows, revealing a thin white wrist. He looked careless and skinny. .q.
"I've got it," he whispered.
You just caught it, why did you make a special trip to tell ***? Just move people away.
Zheng Quchi felt that it was not good to ignore him, so he said "Yeah": "Then be careful and don't fall again."
Seeing that he was fine and not interested in asking how he fell, she continued to climb up the rock wall.
After seeing her rescue him, she didn't have any extra words. It was as if it was just a simple matter like following the handle, which was not worth mentioning. The man was also a little confused, opening and closing his mouth, hesitating.
There are stone ladders carved into the mountain. When pulling the iron rope upward, you can step on the stone ladder to gain a little strength.
For ordinary people, as long as they pay attention not to slip their feet, there is basically no particular danger. They are just a little tired during the mountaineering process.
But for a craftsman who had been doing heavy work all year round, Zheng Quchi didn't think it was a big problem, and he didn't know how the man suddenly fell from above.
"Aqing, are you okay up there?"
Below, Mu Gaoyi and the others were still crawling. They didn't have the strength like her, so their speed was a little slower.
Zheng Quchi was about to answer, but he saw below that Yu Wensheng had quickly caught up with him. His figure was strong and light, and his figure was not the same as last night, when he looked so weak that he could not even stand still.
As soon as he came to Zheng Quchi, he grabbed her arm and asked, "How are you?"
In order not to expose Zheng Quchi's identity and arouse others' suspicion, Yu Wensheng tried to keep a certain distance from her in front of others, but when he saw that she was in danger, he no longer cared about that.
"I'm fine, I just picked up someone." Zheng Quchi said a little uncomfortable.
Yu Wensheng confirmed that she was not hit or injured, then let go of his hand and glanced coldly down.
When the handsome and effeminate man saw Yu Wensheng, his pupils dilated in vain, and his whole body became wary like a rabbit that encountered a natural enemy. He quickly turned his face away from him and stopped looking at him.
"Okay, it's just a little accident. Don't waste time. Come up quickly."
Zheng Quchi pulled him slightly.
Seeing that she was about to leave with others, the man finally couldn't hold it back and said tremblingly: "My, my name is Yu Hai. You saved my life. I will definitely repay you in the future."
Does this count as saving his life? Even if she didn't take action and rolled down from this height, if he grabbed something in the middle or if other craftsmen helped, it wouldn't be fatal.
This young man is too upright.
"No, it's just a piece of cake."
She smiled casually.
Yu Hai's watery eyes looked straight, and he just felt that this man was really a good person who showed kindness without repaying it.
Yu Wensheng saw her smiling at others, but no one
Chu Yi's long eyes could be seen in the shade, and he asked in a warm voice: "What are you doing to save him?"
"Everyone has rolled in front of me, so it's just a matter of extending my hand."
"What is an insignificant person doing with his hand?"
Zheng Quchi listened to him endlessly, turned around and glanced at him a few times. He was smiling at her, gentle and gentle, and there was nothing strange about her.
"Because I am Zheng Quchi."
Her words instantly silenced Yu Wensheng.
Because she is Zheng Quchi, she would have jumped into the river to save him when he was suspected of drowning, and she would also reach out to save this man who was in danger before her eyes.
Not to mention how courageous she is, but she is not a person who refuses to save anyone.
She was such a person, different from him, so he couldn't understand her idea of saving people, and she didn't agree with his extreme statement.
"Do you think I'm cold-blooded?" Yu Wensheng asked her.
Back in the carriage, he tentatively asked her what she thought of "Yu Wensheng".
It was learned that she thought he was violent, vicious and murderous.
If she yearns for a peaceful and quiet life, she will only stay away from and hate this type of people.
But he is exactly this kind of person.
Zheng Quchi crawled back to him without thinking too much. He said honestly: "No, at least on this matter, you have your own ideas and principles. Because you are Yu Wensheng, you will naturally not be the same as me. Simple choice."
There are dangers and dangers all around him. If everyone behaves like her and relies solely on their temperament, they won't be beaten by the assassins long ago?
"Then do you want me to be a gentle and kind person?" he asked again.
Zheng Quchi couldn't understand the meaning of his asking these words. He couldn't be testing whether she was on the same side as him, right?
Then she can't let her slip at the critical moment.
"Who would use words like gentle and kind to describe a general of a country? You should be a golden sword and an iron horse, a talented and strategic person, brave and good at fighting, and invincible. Besides, my opinion is not important," she said.
After she finished her spanking, she patiently waited for Yu Wensheng's feedback.
Will he recognize her "loyalty"?
But they waited and waited, but neither of them said a word during the whole journey. Until they both arrived at Wujue Temple, he still didn't say a word about her rainbow fart. I guess this flattery was a flattering one.
Alas, it is not easy to be a jester.
When they arrived at "Wujue Temple", they found that the temple door was wide open to welcome guests. There were monks in front of the door to receive them, and many people had already entered.
After all, they arrived a little late, but it didn't matter. The Jichun Craftsmen's Meeting hadn't officially started yet. The invitation said it was three quarters of noon, whichever was the brightest and brightest time at noon.
After entering the temple, they checked the invitations in their hands and registered the number of people traveling with them. Then there was a monk in gray clothes leading the way for them.
Along the way, they walked through unique and unique green-tiled houses of different sizes. These houses were located among lush bamboo forests, quiet and remote, quiet and simple.
Came to the dojo in the temple.
The suddenly wide-open scene in front of him made Zheng Quchi breathe heavily.
From the secluded and deep bamboo forest path to the vast water pool platform in front of her, she really didn't expect it.
The dojo paved with white balustrades and gray stones is actually located on the water. There is an arch bridge a dozen steps away, and there is a stream of water between the two bridges. There are twists and turns surrounded by several stone lotus terraces. In the center of the lotus terrace is There are statues of Buddha carved in stone and painted in gold.
This really not only demonstrates the profound Buddha nature of Wujue Temple, but also shows off its inhumanity invisibly.
Now, there are many tables and shelves placed on these water curtains. On the shelves, many artifacts of different sizes have been placed, but there are also many water curtains whose positions are still missing.
The gray-robed monk introduced to Zheng Quchi and the others: "This is a table set up by the Jichun Craftsmen's Guild. The location is not restricted at the moment. You can choose a suitable empty space to display your artworks."
"Well, can we ask how the finalists of the Jichun Craftsmen Guild are selected?" Zheng
Qu Chi asked.
The gray-robed monk explained to her: "After a short break, at three quarters of noon, a kind person will come to watch and evaluate the works. The shortlisted works can generally be divided into three directions, color, art, and technique."
"Color, that is, appearance. If you can attract people with your appearance, if you drop a spring reward coin, it will be counted as one point."
"Art, of course, refers to the sophistication of a work of art. If you can use its complicated and difficult craftsmanship to attract a fortune, it will be considered a point."
"Skills are ingenious, novel, unique, innovative, and eye-catching. If you drop a spring reward, it will count as one point."
With Yu Wensheng here, the others just listened and dared not go overboard and rushed to ask questions. However, Yu Wensheng was a general who did not have a deep understanding of the art of hundreds of craftsmen, so he was willing to leave the home field to Zheng Quchi.
"What is spring reward money?" She seemed to have caught an important word.
"Oh, it's this copper plate tied with a thin string, which has been used by our temple for a long time."
The monk in gray clothes took out a hanging coin tied with a particularly delicate red string: "This is a spring appreciation silver coin specially made by our temple and the Jichun Craftsmen Association, and is used to score the finalists."
Zheng Quchi was suspicious: "This...is given to us for free?"
"How could the donor think so?" the monk in gray asked in surprise.
Zheng Quchi looked at his pretentious expression of surprise and twitched the corner of his mouth.
If she doesn't think so, what should she think?
The gray-clothed monk slowly said: "This is what every donor receives in return after giving alms. I wonder how many of them the donor needs?"
Giving? Not just asking for money.
"If you give one, how much do you need to donate?" she asked tentatively.
"Ten taels of silver."
"..." You can obviously steal it, but you still want to give them a copper plate?
Her previous bad premonition finally came true at this moment. Could it be that they fell into a money trap?
She immediately said: "Then we don't want it."
"No more?" The monk in gray obviously didn't expect this answer.
"Yes, can't we just give it as a reward? Do we have to invest the spring reward money?"
"...Of course you can, but you can also invest these spring appreciation coins in your own artworks. Are you sure you don't want that?"
"No," she insisted.
"That's it..." The monk in gray seemed to be shocked by her determined attitude, and said after a while: "Oh, I just forgot, the organizer seems to have replaced a batch of spring appreciation silver coins in advance, so that every participant can Anyone who chooses can get one."
Zheng Quchi smiled half-heartedly: "Oh, that's right. This master's memory is really not very good. He can forget such important things."
"Amitabha, this poor monk indeed has a very poor memory. I am ashamed and ashamed."
Judging from his calm expression, he didn't look ashamed at all.
