Although he has not sold himself, the student is a slave for the sake of glory and is not ashamed of himself.
Everyone in the transport army was silent for a while, but Wu Jin acted calmly. After drinking ginger soup, drying his clothes, and borrowing an oil lamp, he went to the front yard to collect his luggage from the corridor, and found an unoccupied house with water seeping from all sides to live in.
There was a pile of quilts on the bed, and it was so wet that it was sticky to the hands, so it was better not to cover it.
He folded the bedding, swept away the dust on the bed, and spread a piece of bamboo paper on the bed.
Then he took water and studied ink, knelt down on the ground, and wrote with pen: "On the first day of October in the 22nd year of Yuan Zhang, it rained heavily. I stayed at the Guanyi Station in Heshan County, Jezhou.
The posthouse is large, the house is wide, the roof is leaky, and the tiles are broken. We compete with the canal team to spread tarpaulin to prevent the autumn grain from spoiling. A bowl of ginger soup can also dispel the cold of late autumn and early winter."
Just as he put down his pen, Wang Jinghua sneezed next door, then cursed and went out to relieve himself. As he opened the door, he scolded the boy: "You have a stupid head, you don't know how to carry a toilet in, and you still want me to go out to pee."
He trembled as he passed by Wu Jin's door. He took a step back and put his head in: "Wu Jin is really busy."
Then he clicked his tongue twice: "I won't go and say hello to Miss Mo in person. You can say hello for me tomorrow."
His mind was not broad to begin with, and this time he didn't even have a solution. It became more and more narrow and became the eye of a needle.
"Okay." Wu Jin stood up and collected the diary.
He saw that Wang Jinghua had only one head stuck in, staring with mung bean eyes, opening and closing his mouth, revealing a big black hole that went straight to his belly. Thinking of the nickname Cheng Ting gave him, he couldn't help but laugh, and he quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed:
"Master Wang, go and relieve yourself quickly, otherwise it will rain again."
Wang Jinghua winced in the cold and walked away in a hurry. As he walked, he complained that his father Wang Yunsheng didn't know how to adapt and had to let him follow the canal team.
He didn't expect that if he didn't follow the cauldron, he would probably get lost.
Wu Jin closed the door - the door was intact, but it didn't fit into the door frame. There was a slight gap, letting in the air.
He had no choice but to use a quilt to block the crack in the door, lay down with his clothes on, and slept all night.
The next day, Wu Jin rose up to the crow of the rooster and flexed his hands and feet vigorously in the house until his whole body was warm. Then he tidied up the house, stood in front of the bed, and memorized a volume of astronomy from the "Book of Southern Qi" in the dark.
After reciting it, he went out to wash up and eat quickly - students were rushing for exams and walked with the cavalry team transporting autumn grain. They stayed at the hotel along the way and ate with the cavalry team.
The kitchen was prepared with porridge and shredded pickles. He ate two bowls and asked the Marquis who was lighting the fire for directions to Heshan County. Before he left the house, Wang Jinghua came out to relieve himself.
"Wu Jin, stop, what are you doing?"
Wu Jin walked and said: "Go to the county seat."
"Wait a minute!" Wang Jinghua's eyes lit up and he stopped urinating. He took out a small silver coin and chased after Wu Jin, "Bring me a table of banquets and I won't go there myself."
"I can't take it with me." Wu Jin walked down the stone steps with his hands in sleeves.
"Hey, hey, hey..." Wang Jinghua's foot slipped and he almost fell to the ground, but he held Wu Jin tightly with both hands to prevent him from falling, "No need for noodles, bring something meaty!"
Wu Jin then nodded, took the money, put it together with the hundred coins he had brought, and walked down two steps at a time. Wang Jinghua just blinked and disappeared.
Wu Jin was anxious.
Guanyi was still two or three miles away from the county seat. He stretched out his long legs, walked and ran, and entered the county seat in less than half an hour.
Because of the banditry, Heshan County is sparsely populated like Jiaxian County. Shops and foot shops are scattered on the streets. Vendors carry burdens and sell pancakes, spicy soup, and steamed buns, which are more expensive than those sold in Kuanzhou City.
The sky was already bright, but it was gloomy. She didn't know when it would rain again. Wu Jin asked someone about the refreshment shop. When he went there, it wasn't open yet, so he went to the foot shop and bought Wang Jinghua a roast chicken and a pound of bacon.
I bought a pound of fresh chestnuts and three pounds of raw sweet potatoes from a small vendor.
After turning back, we waited another three-quarters of an hour before the refreshment shop opened and the pine nut and chestnut cakes had to be made fresh.
He waited and waited, until the rain continued, and finally when the pine nut and chestnut cakes were ready, he quickly bought a pack and placed it close to his chest, shivering from the heat.
The five fingers of his right hand were holding the groceries he had bought, and he was tightly covering the chestnut cakes in his arms. There was wind under his feet as he walked, fearing that the chestnut cakes would get cold.
In fact, the chestnut cake was sweet when it was cold, but the roasted chicken smelled fishy when it was cold, but he was just afraid that the chestnut cake would be cold - the chestnut cake that Mo Lingfeng wanted to eat must not be cold.
When he returned to Guanyi, it was almost noon. Wang Jinghua was looking forward to it. When he saw Wu Jin, he said loudly: "Where can you buy it..."
Before he finished speaking, Wu Jin had already put the roast chicken and bacon in his arms, gave him a handful of change, and left in a hurry.
Running all the way to the backyard, he saw Mo Lingfeng standing on the porch scratching his face. There were two black eye circles on his face. He was wearing light green clothes, with large green chrysanthemums and golden flowers embroidered on the piping and hem of the clothes.
The collar was fried again with charcoal, making it even more golden and eye-catching.
"Wu Jin!" When she saw Wu Jin, she put down her hand and waved to him with a smile, "Where have you been? I asked Yin Nan to find you and you weren't here either."
She raised her hand and scratched it again, but the nanny stood aside and quickly grabbed her hand and stopped her from scratching it.
Wu Jin immediately noticed that her cheeks were covered with thin and small red pimples.
He put down the chestnuts and sweet potatoes, took out the still warm oil paper bag and handed it to her: "I'm going to the county."
Mo Lingfeng took the oil paper bag, and the aroma of chestnut cake rushed into her nose, making her forget to scratch the rash on her face: "Pine nut chestnut cake!"
She couldn't wait to untie the cotton rope, pick up a piece to eat, and then invited Wu Jin to sit in the booth and eat chestnut cake together around the charcoal fire.
Wu Jin saw such small red bumps appearing between her fingers. It was extremely itchy and her heart suddenly ached.
He took the chestnuts and sweet potatoes into the compartment, used a poker to push away the charcoal ashes, buried the sweet potato balls in them, and cut a hole in the chestnuts to bury them shallowly.
Mo Lingfeng handed him a piece of chestnut cake and raised his hand to the top of his head: "There are rats. If there is no movement now, they will roll around at night and chew up all the snacks I brought."
Wu Jin looked up and saw only the dark beams and the unsightly caisson - this hotel was like a poor man pretending to be fat. At first glance, it looked magnificent, but at a second glance, it was full of
It's shabby. If you look closely, the decoration on the facade is also rotten.
He lowered his head and looked at the table - the peeled oranges on the table only had one piece missing, which must have been sour. The autumn pears were huge, and they cut out a full bowl. However, Mo Lingfeng did not move.
Looking at Mo Lingfeng again, she was still eating chestnut cake with squinted eyes.
Mo Qianlan pampered her, but she herself was very sensible. No matter how miserable she was, it was better than Wu Jin and the others living in a leaky house, so they didn't say anything about her discomfort.
"It's delicious." Mo Lingfeng handed another piece of chestnut cake to Wu Jin: "Are there any mice in the room where you sleep?"
"I won't eat it." Wu Jin waved his hand, "I'll buy it tomorrow."
"Can't we leave tomorrow?"
"I met the transportation troops exploring the road in the county seat and said that the front was still collapsed and grain trucks could not pass."
Mo Lingfeng buried his head in looking at the chestnut cake and whispered: "When my brother went to Kyoto when he was eighteen years old, did he also live in this hotel?"
"I miss my brother so much."
When I opened the backend, after counting the string of zeros, I realized that I had gained the first silver alliance in my life ヾ(●｀●) Wow~
Thank you to book friend 20230417164334487 for your support and love. I am really touched.
I have nothing to repay, so I will add another chapter tomorrow (sorry for not being able to update, I have applied for 5.1 to be released on the shelves, I try to keep my pace, and the child is very clingy today).
In addition, after one night, the child's face became green, purple and swollen, as if he had practiced toad kung fu.
