Chapter 5: Others will respect me if they fear me

The girl lowered her head, and her hot breath was close to his skin, as if it was burning him.

Shen Jingyuan bit off the thread: "Okay, it looks much more comfortable this way."

Li Shang quickly retracted his leg: "Thank you very much."

Shen Jingyuan looked at the sky: "It's getting dark, let's rest here tonight."

Li Shang nodded and approached the fire to roast his back: "When I fulfill Master's last wish, I can help you complete the reward order and the money will be yours."

Shen Jingyuan smiled, with two small dimples on his cheeks: "Conscience shows up? Why don't you want my money?"

Li Shang lowered his head and touched the patch on his leg: "I don't like to owe anyone anything, so I just help you complete a reward. It's easy for me to find a lost dog and catch a rat in the house. One or two It's just a monetary reward, just as a way to repay your kindness for sewing for me today."

Just?

Shen Jingyuan held up his chin and looked at Li Shang with a smile: "But you almost beat me for nine copper coins."

"That's different."

He was not a bad person, Shen Jingyuan suddenly recalled the fact that the dead old master knew that he had stolen angelica and did not scold him, but was extremely happy.

"You repay your love for your wife, and then what? What are your plans?"

Li Shang felt that the clothes behind him were almost dry, so he turned back and leaned against the wall: "Master said that I am naturally smart and a good student." He looked at Shen Jingyuan, "I can also make a reward, I have saved enough. If I don’t have enough money, I’ll find a school to study in. Whether it’s ten years or twenty years, I will definitely get a good name!”

"Do you want to be an official?"

"Of course!" The young man's eyes were firm, and there was an unconcealable lust for power in his eyes.

"Why do you want to be an official?"

Li Shang smiled and said: "In this world, being rich doesn't mean anything, having power does. If I become an official, I will no longer be bullied by others. If others fear me, they will respect me."

Shen Jingyuan didn't speak, only looked at the young man quietly and continued: "I don't have the highest moral principles. To bless the common people and protect the people, that is what the ministers and emperors do. I just want to have power, money, and be able to protect the people." What I want to protect."

I just don’t want to be stared at and bullied anymore.

After receiving the money, he took out a watermelon and gnawed on it: "Hey, little boy, he has very high ambitions, but if he doesn't take good care of him, his temper will be distorted by his thoughts."

Shen Jingyuan glanced at the money coming in like a dog, "He won't be crooked if I'm here."

Lai Qian said: "This watermelon is so sweet."

Shen Jingyuan, who had just finished eating the dry biscuits, clenched his fists: "Get out."

"Okay." The money rolled twice in the void.

Shen Jingyuan really didn't want to pay attention to it. He leaned on the hay laid by Li Shang and said to Li Shang: "It's a good idea. I support you."

Li Shang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Shen Jingyuan to say this.

"But I hope you won't be a bad official, because bad officials have always died since ancient times."

"Death? I have no worries, so why should I be afraid of death? I just want to live more happily." Li Shang said with a smile.

Shen Jingyuan looked at Li Shang with a smile: "But you are the first friend I have met so far. I don't want you to end up in an ugly way in the future because of your wrong ways."

friend?

Li Shang looked at Shen Jingyuan, her petite body changed from leaning to lying down. She seemed a little sleepy and did not speak any more. Soon after, Li Shang heard the sound of shallow breathing.

"Friends." Li Shang thought about the word repeatedly, and he laughed out loud, "Who would be willing to be friends with me."

The rain continued to fall the next day and did not stop until after noon.

Shen Jingyuan and Li Shang waited until evening and saw that the heavy rain did not stop and had to wait one more night.

Unexpectedly, it still didn’t stop on the third day.

Shen Jingyuan held the broken temple door and looked at the sky with a frown: "How many times has it rained since I arrived?"

When I got the money, I crossed my legs and thought: "Let's do three, four, five or six games."

"If this continues, there will most likely be floods."

After receiving the money, he immediately sat up straight and said, "Even if there is a flood, you can't intervene. Don't even think about using your divine power."

Shen Jingyuan rolled his eyes speechlessly: "I just lamented that this Dayun Dynasty is really full of disasters. It was finally stable before, but the weather did not go as planned."

Lai Qian softened his body again, crossed his legs and said, "Where are you from? It's early."

Shen Jingyuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "What do you mean?"

"The Japanese slaves will still invade the border, and there will be a war in two or three years." Laiqian added: "Don't worry, Zhao Ling and Yun Min will manage it well. It has nothing to do with you, so just take care of it. Just your dementia will do."

"..." Shen Jingyuan reacted: "I have to pretend to be stupid when I go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

When I came to pay for melon seeds, I thought about it and said: "The original plot is that Zhao Jinjin was wandering around. Once she fell ill and was saved by a white-haired Taoist priest. He gave her a bottle of elixir, saying that after eating it, she could detoxify her body from the poison brought out from her mother's womb. , so when Zhao Jinjin went back, he was seven to eight percent sane. If you go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, you don't have to pretend to be a fool, but you must die at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month next year, otherwise Zhao Ling won't be able to get through, and the interface will be messed up."

Yun Min became a wise king because of the company and help of Zhao Ling. Zhao Ling is a well-known female entrepreneur in modern times and has a top-notch IQ. If she had not come to do business and persuaded Yun Min to open up trade, otherwise the world would have been destroyed. How could the Yun Dynasty's treasury be so empty that it could support the war with the Japanese slaves for ten years?

"Gulu gulu."

Shen Jingyuan turned around and looked at the iron pot placed on the fire. The green vegetables she had picked nearby and the torn flour pancakes were boiling in the pot, which was thick and hot.

"Li Shang, it's time to eat." She went in and called out.

The young man was sorting out his angelica root, carefully wrapping it up piece by piece in a cloth bag, and then putting it into the baggage.

The iron pot was found in a ruined temple and washed clean with rainwater, as well as a bowl with a chip.

Shen Jingyuan scooped out the vegetable batter with a wooden spoon made by Li Shanggang. He didn't have much appetite for snacks, so he naturally ate first.

After Shen Jingyuan finished drinking the vegetable-flavored batter, she finally felt a different taste in her mouth. After eating dry biscuits for so many days, she really felt like a dry biscuit.

Seeing that she was full, Li Shang took the bowl in Shen Jingyuan's hand and scooped out the second bowl of vegetable batter and ate it.

After eating the batter, it is indeed more delicious than the dry coarse cake.

After eating, the two decided to wait one more night and slept on the straw until dawn, but were suddenly awakened by thunder.

"Boom——"

The thunder was deafening, and the whole world seemed to tremble.

"The rain has stopped." Li Shang stretched his head and looked out the broken window, "It's thundering, do you want to leave?"

Shen Jingyuan was so annoyed by the thunder that he couldn't sleep, so he could only nod his head. The two of them had nothing to do. Watching Li Shang carry the baggage on his back, they left the ruined temple together.

The heavy rain that had lasted for several days had stopped, and the whole world was washed clean. There was a smell of vitality and coldness everywhere. The only drawback was that the thunder in the sky continued.

The two passed by the village, climbed to the top of the mountain and walked through the rice fields, and finally came to a small road. The road was overgrown with weeds, and the grass was waist-high. Unfortunately, a strong wind blew, and the already thin two people were blown back several times.
