The first thousand two hundred and forty-eight chapters
The time had just arrived at Yin hour, it was pitch dark outside, the moon was shining brightly above our heads, and the sky was full of stars blinking in a sleepy way.
Everything is completely silent, and everything in heaven and earth is sleeping.
"crunch"
The door to the main room of Jingnan County Yamen's House opened, and Zhu Ping'an walked out of the house with a cloth bag slung across his body.
"Uncle, these are the pancakes baked yesterday, and they haven't had time to be heated yet. Uncle, wait for me for a while, and I'll heat them up."
Hua'er, the little maid of Baozi, chased up from behind, holding a pack of pancakes wrapped in oil paper in her hand, and said to Zhu Ping'an with her mouth bulging.
"No, it's better to cool down like this." Zhu Pingan waved his hand, reached out to take the pancake from Hua'er, and put it into a cloth bag. In his bag, there were also folded rice paper, charcoal pencils and other items.
, separated from pancakes by lotus leaves.
"Uncle, everyone else returns home covered with stars and moon, but it's good for you. Not only do you return home covered with stars and moon, but you also go out wearing stars and moon. Even if you have a body made of iron, you can't bear it. You don't know how to care about yourself. When the ladies come, what if they find that you have lost so much weight?
If you do too much, you will definitely skin your slave girl."
Baozi's little maid Hua'er bulged her mouth, walked behind Zhu Pingan, and used her feet to help Zhu Pingan adjust his clothes. Through the clothes, she felt that her uncle had lost so much weight. The clothes that were originally just fine were now a little loose, and she burst into tears.
I couldn't help but shed tears. My uncle has been working too hard these days.
"It's better to be thinner. Don't you think I have become much more handsome after losing weight? When Shu'er comes back, she will find that I have become so much more handsome. It's too late to reward you. How can I peel off your skin?" Zhu Pingan pretended.
He smiled lovingly.
"Uncle, we're talking about business." Hua'er, Baozi's little maid, was so teased that she burst into tears and laughed, unable to hold back her anger.
"Relief for work is about to be implemented. I have to go down there to check the areas that can be constructed, and finalize the project sites for rebuilding cottages, building water conservancy facilities, building anti-Japanese outposts, and reclaiming wasteland. Jingnan is not a small place. If
If I don't go out early, I won't be able to finish the whole day today, and the post-disaster reconstruction time will not be delayed. After I finish this busy period, I will have a good rest and sleep until I wake up naturally every day."
Zhu Pingan explained to Hua'er with a smile.
"Hua'er doesn't believe it. Hua'er has never seen my uncle sleep for a whole day." Baozi's little maid Hua'er puffed her mouth, not believing Zhu Pingan's words about sleeping until she wakes up naturally after finishing her work.
Soon, the doors of the wing rooms on both sides of the courtyard were opened, and Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and others also got up.
"Go back and rest." Zhu Pingan waved to Hua'er and took Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and others out.
"Uncle, the rooster hasn't crowed yet."
Baozi's little maid Hua'er leaned against the door frame, looked at Zhu Pingan's back, and murmured in a low voice with red eyes.
Climb over mountains and ridges, travel over mountains and rivers
By the time the morning light shone in the eastern sky, Zhu Ping'an and his party had walked continuously for dozens of kilometers.
Because Jingnan rushed to repair a lot of flood control facilities before the flood. Although these water conservancy facilities blocked the flood outside Jingnan, their role is now also reflected. The floods in Jingnan recede faster than in Taiping County and other places.
.
Zhu Pingan visited several villages and towns and found that the floodwaters had receded by 70% or 80%, and he felt much better.
Everywhere Zhu Ping'an goes, he carefully surveys the topography and landforms. From time to time, he uses carbon rods to write and draw on rice paper, delineates the address of the work-for-relief project, and makes preliminary plans. When he goes back in the evening, he will draw detailed maps and formulate detailed plans. , prepare the charter, finalize the details, and implement the work-for-relief program tomorrow.
While Zhu Pingan was non-stop surveying outside, a group of bandits who had turned refugees gathered together in the northern suburbs flood refuge area without leaving a trace, but it was inconspicuous because people like them gathered in the flood refuge area. There are many people sunbathing together.
"Old boss, young boss, brothers, I've been out and about in the past few days, but I haven't found any suitable fat sheep. However, as the old saying goes, you can't find anything with iron shoes, and it doesn't take any effort to get anything."
Bandit Hu Laosan looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he whispered to everyone.
"Grrrr, that's 'you can't find anything after wearing iron shoes, it takes no effort to get there'. You, a bandit, are learning some sordid prose. Just don't show off if you don't know how to do it. Isn't it embarrassing?" The young master chuckled and turned the page. A roll of eyes.
Although his face was smeared with pot ash and he was wearing men's clothes, the young master's smile still made people's eyes brighten.
Although all the bandits knew that their young boss was a murderous female yaksha, they still couldn't help but take a second look.
Suddenly, a gleaming butterfly appeared in the young master's palm, and everyone couldn't help but cross their legs and retract their eyes.
"Ahem, Ruonan, girls don't laugh all the time. Also, put the fish dagger away so that no one can see it."
The old boss first glared at the bandits like a lion, then coughed and lectured the girl.
"There's something wrong with laughing. Okay, okay, I understand, dad, I'll just put it away." The young boss rolled his eyes. Seeing his old boss blowing his beard, he immediately squinted his eyes and smiled ingratiatingly at his old boss, obediently. He put away the dagger, then stretched out his foot to lift Hu Lao San, glared at him, and said angrily, "Hu Lao San, what were you going to say just now? Go on, why did you become mute?"
"Yes, I mean I've been visiting places in the county these past few days, but I haven't found any suitable fat sheep. The rules set by the old club and the young club are to find fat sheep, but also those fat sheep that are not good people. This is not good. Look for it. Just when I was downcast, I suddenly heard two passers-by swearing. My eyes suddenly lit up and I found a super big fat sheep, the kind of bad and boundless fat sheep! Let me tell you, we For doing this, not to mention that we will be popular and drink spicy food for the rest of our lives, even if we please the mother-in-law and give birth to seven or eight cubs, the baby will be popular and spicy for the rest of his life."
Hu Laosan was kicked by his young master, he chuckled and continued talking, his eyes gleaming when he mentioned the fat sheep.
"How can a fat sheep be so fat? Are we here relatives of the emperor and the country?!" The bandit next to him didn't believe what Hu Laosan said.
"How dare you rob a relative of the emperor?! Don't even think about it if you have the word 'emperor' on it. How many heads do you have that the emperor can chop off?!"
When the old boss heard this, he glared at them angrily, and the few bandits who spoke chuckled and shrank their necks.
"This fat sheep is not a relative of the emperor," Hu Laosan said, lowering his voice. "He is just the child of the county magistrate."
"What?! Magistrate?!" When the bandits around him heard this, they couldn't help but be surprised.
"Shh! Keep your voice down!" Hu Laosan looked around cautiously and relaxed when he saw that no one was paying attention.
