Putting aside his cultivation, putting down his sword, putting aside his grudges and hatred, and putting on his coarse linen clothes, Zhang Xiaopou felt relaxed as never before, and his whole body became peaceful both outside and inside.
Rolling up their sleeves and trousers, they picked up hoes, shovels, rakes and crowbars. Zhang Xiaozhu, Niu Dawa, Zhou Jianlai and Yuan Taiping, under the leadership of Zhang Butcher, set out to dig through the collapsed house walls in Tingyaxuan. Bricks and stones were picked out, and the sand and soil were broken up and piled in the yard in preparation for rebuilding Tingyaxuan.
It is now mid-July, and the sun in the sky is extremely hot. Zhang Xiaozu and other people with cultivation are doing better. The servants and maids who have no cultivation have only been working for half an hour, and their clothes are soaked with hot sweat. He was breathing heavily, feeling like his throat was on fire and smoking.
Butcher Zhang ordered Mei Lan, Zhu Ju to cook some mung bean soup for everyone to quench their thirst and relieve the heat, but the four girls were stumped. After asking, they found out that Ting Yaxuan now relies on the water distributed by the government every day, and only half a day a day. Although they had saved some buckets of water in the past few days, it was definitely not enough to support such a large consumption.
This is also a serious problem that Yancheng is facing right now. The people all over the city are shrinking and dare not move, because in such a hot day, if you move, you will sweat, and sweating will make you thirsty, but there is not enough water when you are thirsty. Drink, so I can only try not to move.
"Da Wa, use your elemental domain to go to Badwater Swamp to get some water." Butcher Zhang immediately ordered Niu Da Wa after knowing the problem.
"I'm afraid the officials won't give it to me." Niu Dawa frowned.
Butcher Zhang's eyes widened and he said: "I don't know how much water vapor evaporates in such a large area of water in a day. It is better for us to take it and use it than to float away in vain. If anyone wants to stop it, just say that you are acting on Qi Wuwei's order." .Go quickly!”
"Oh" Niu Dawa accepted the order, used the domain of wind and rode away in the wind.
As soon as Niu Dawa left, the government's water delivery team arrived at the back. A large bucket was distributed today, saying that Yanbei had discovered an inexhaustible water source and that the hard days were coming to an end.
After the water transport road to Badwater Swamp was paved yesterday, Yancheng's water transport fleet has not stopped for a moment. Now all the reservoirs in the city are full, so today's distribution volume has been doubled.
At the same time, Yancheng has sent messengers to all surrounding towns, asking them to quickly organize people to come to Yancheng to collect water.
As Butcher Zhang said, under the baking heat of the scorching sun, such a large area of water will evaporate countless amounts of water vapor in a day, so we must seize the time to make use of it.
…
The carriage drove around the messy streets of North Wucheng and stopped in front of a dilapidated courtyard in the northwest corner after more than half an hour.
Jin Zhihui got off the carriage and looked around along the street in front of her door. She found that the whole street was very quiet and there was not a single person in sight.
The coachman told Jin Zhihui that the young master she wanted to see was in the yard, and then drove away.
Jin Zhihui frowned, feeling that Yu Wenrui was being overly cautious when he asked her to meet in such a secluded place. She suddenly realized that something was wrong. Logically speaking, with Yu Wenrui's cultivation and character, if he chose her, he shouldn't be so timid. That's right.
"Could someone be pretending to be Yu Wenrui?" Jin Zhihui glanced at the sword spike in her hand and couldn't help but feel suspicious. She immediately became vigilant and stepped forward to push open the half-tilted courtyard door.
Zhiyo——
At the same time as she pushed open the courtyard door, the door to the main hall directly opposite the courtyard door also opened, and Yu Wenrui was standing behind the door with a smile.
"You're here." Yu Wenrui greeted Jin Zhihui, but did not come out of the room.
Seeing Yu Wenrui, Jin Zhihui immediately relaxed her vigilance. She nodded towards Yu Wenrui with a faint smile and stepped into the courtyard door. After crossing the courtyard, Yu Wenrui invited her sideways and let her in.
Snapped!
Jin Zhihui entered the door with her front foot, and Yu Wenrui closed the door with her back foot. The light in the room suddenly dimmed, and she couldn't help but blush on her cheeks, making her face slightly hot.
"Fairy, please sit down." Yu Wenrui walked to a round table, pulled out a round stool from under the table, invited Jin Zhihui to sit down, and apologized: "The conditions are simple and difficult, and there is not even a cup of hot tea. I have neglected the fairy. I also hope that Fairy Haihan will do so."
"You're welcome, sir." Jin Zhihui nodded and smiled, and sat down at the table. She scanned the room with the corner of her eye and found that most of the room had collapsed, but the collapsed areas had been covered with furniture or debris. The strange thing was that The window was actually covered with a square table, and the layout of the room told her that this should be the residence of an ordinary family, not like Yao Wang Valley's secret foothold hidden in Yancheng.
"I wonder why the young master invited the slave family here?" Jin Zhihui couldn't help but ask.
Yu Wenrui smiled, stared gently into Jin Zhihui's eyes, and responded: "Talk about something the fairy wants to talk about."
Jin Zhihui's heart suddenly trembled when she heard this, her cheeks flushed red and hot, she lowered her head and whispered: "I don't know what the young master is talking about."
Yu Wenrui suddenly leaned forward and reached out to hold Jin Zhihui's weak, boneless hand.
Jin Zhihui's body trembled like an electric shock, and she wanted to take her hand out of Yu Wenrui's hand conditionally, but she didn't know whether Yu Wenrui's strength was too strong or her own strength was too weak. He couldn't pull it out, so he could only let Yu Wenrui hold it in his hand.
She found that she was so useless and had no resistance to Yu Wenrui. As soon as he held her little hand, her whole body melted, especially her cheeks, which were as hot as if they were on fire, and even her body became slightly hot. .
"After experiencing many things, I discovered that only fairies treat me sincerely, and only fairies are the most suitable for me, so I want to grow old together with fairies and spend this life together." Yu Wenrui said affectionately.
When Jin Zhihui heard the last eight words, her eyes reddened with excitement, and big tears fell down. Her wish finally came true. At this moment, she felt that all her persistence was worth it, just like Wang Ruoyu had waited so hard for Duke Wei. After decades, I finally got what I wanted. God really pays off.
"I wonder if the fairy is willing?" Yu Wenrui tilted his head forward and asked softly against her ear.
"I-I-what happened to my body?!" Jin Zhihui was about to say that she was willing, but her body suddenly leaned forward and fell into Yu Wenrui's arms. Suddenly she found that her whole body was sore and weak, and she immediately screamed in horror Make a sound.
"Don't be afraid, fairy. This is the charm potion I specially prepared for the fairy. It will not cause any harm to the body. The fairy treats me so well, how can I be willing to hurt the fairy." A sinister smile appeared on Yuwen Rui's handsome face.
Only then did Jin Zhihui realize that her cheeks were hot and her body was hot. It was not because she was ashamed at all, but more because she had been poisoned by Yu Wenrui. She asked Yu Wenrui completely incomprehensibly: "Why are you doing this to me?" Poison? You know that I am willing to spend my life with you, and my body will be yours sooner or later."
"Sorry, I only want your body and completely refuse to be your partner." Yu Wenrui sneered, picked up Jin Zhihui's body and placed it on the round table.
"Why - why? How am I not worthy of you?" Jin Zhihui asked sadly.
Yu Wenrui's face darkened and he said sarcastically: "In my eyes, your Miao Miao Palace is basically a brothel, a brothel that specializes in cultivating playthings for cultivators of various sects, so no matter how outstanding you Jin Zhihui is, in my eyes She is just a prostitute. Do you think I, Yu Wenrui, will marry a prostitute?"
"Yu Wenrui, you are shameless!" Jin Zhihui was heartbroken instantly. She never imagined that in Yu Wenrui's heart, she was just a brothel prostitute. No wonder he had always been dismissive of her. He thought she was cheap and disgusting.
"Go ahead and scold him as you like. Soon you won't be able to scold anymore." Yu Wenrui sneered repeatedly and reached out to untie Jin Zhihui's silk ribbon.
Jin Zhihui used her last strength to grab Yuwenrui's hand and begged: "Yuwenrui, for the sake of our past friendship, please let me go."
"Don't be afraid, I will treat you gently." Yu Wenrui smiled and shook off Jin Zhihui's hand.
His hand grabbed the silk ribbon around Jin Zhihui's waist and was about to pull it, when suddenly there was a loud bang above his head, followed by bricks and tiles falling down, and someone violently broke a big hole in the roof, and a burly Covered in the dazzling midday sun, the body jumped down from the roof, accompanied by a roar and angrily shouted:
"Yu Wen, the perverted thief, shall die!"
