Zhang Yanling got up, walked to Xu Youtang and said: "Miss Xu, please hold my arm. We will be fine after we get out of the camp. This is my negligence. This camp is so slippery. The people will be sure after getting up."
There are many people who can fall, so we have to put some grass and branches on them."
Xu Youtang did not dare to speak. He held Zhang Yanling's arm tightly and carefully walked out of the minefield, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master Zhang... I... I'm really sorry, just now..." Xu Youtang stammered in a low voice with a red face.
"What? Miss Xu, what did you say? What happened just now? Why don't I remember anything?" Zhang Yanling blinked and pretended to be dumbfounded.
Xu Youtang was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud. She knew that Zhang Houye was deliberately pretending to be stupid to avoid embarrassment. She was a little grateful in her heart. It was too embarrassing just now.
"It's okay, thank you Lord Zhang." Xu Youtang laughed softly.
She originally had good intentions and wanted to come to the camp to take a look at the situation and see if anyone needed help. But when she encountered such a thing, she was in no mood to meddle in other people's business.
Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "I have to thank you. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't know the safety hazards on this ground. If an elderly person falls down, he or she may be killed."
Xu Youtang blushed again. Zhang Yanling saw how beautiful her blushing face was and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
The atmosphere was awkward again, but fortunately Zhang Yanling quickly changed the subject.
"Miss Xu, please do me a favor."
Xu Youtang said: "What?"
"In a moment, you can persuade your father to go back and have a rest. Your father is working very hard, but he is also working too hard. He spent the whole night in the porridge shed last night. It is so cold. How can he bear this night?"
Stay. You advise him to go back and have a rest, have a good sleep, and come back in the afternoon." Zhang Yanling said with a smile.
Xu Youtang pursed her red lips and sighed: "Hey, Mr. Zhang doesn't know something. My father has a temper and doesn't listen to others' advice. He has always done things like this. My advice is useless. He once tried to improve something.
He didn't sleep for three days and three nights, and he lost a few pounds until he figured out a solution. He often stayed up all night to do things. Hey, my dad is good at everything, but he is too serious and persistent in his work."
Zhang Yanling nodded slightly and said: "I'm afraid this is the spirit of craftsmanship. Nowadays, people who work hard like your father are very rare. I admire him very much. This relief, if your father hadn't helped me, it would have been difficult for me to do it.
Okay. Your father has helped me solve many problems. Look at this triangular tent, it is your father’s idea. It saves both energy and materials, and is quick and convenient. Otherwise, how could we house so many people."
Xu Youtang pursed his lips and smiled and said: "Is this a triangular tent? That was my suggestion to dad."
Zhang Yanling said in surprise: "Ah? This turned out to be your idea."
Xu Youtang said: "That's right. My father went back that day and said that shelters were needed to resettle the victims, and it was time-consuming and laborious to build them. I remembered that when I was a child, my father and I built small sheds when we were running around doing work. It was of this style. It was simple and convenient, but
It's not very warm, and it's also too narrow and low. As soon as I said it, dad remembered it. This must be a common idea between dad and me. I didn't expect it to come in handy, and it really helped."
Zhang Yanling cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much. It's more than just a help. It's been a great help. If it weren't for these simple tents, where would the victims be sheltered from the wind? Would they still be alive after coming here all night?"
Xu Youtang nodded slightly and said: "Master Zhang is really amazing. I heard from my father that everyone here was personally helped by Zhang Hou. Master Zhang saved the lives of these people. He is such a good man."
Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "It's not that big of a deal. Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. You can't just watch the people suffer. If you have the ability, help, but if you don't, there is nothing you can do. Use as much strength as you have the ability.
That’s it.”
Xu Youtang nodded and said: "That's what Mr. Zhang said. My father often said that you should do things according to your conscience and do your best, as long as you don't violate your conscience."
Zhang Yanling said: "So, your father and I are the same kind of people. Bosom friends, close friends. I just don't know if your father thinks so."
Xu Youtang found it funny and pursed his lips and said: "We are craftsmen and you are the Marquis, how can we be close friends?"
Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "Friends transcend everything. No matter their status, rich or poor, men, women, young or old, they will not get in the way. After this matter is over, I will pay you a visit. I hope Miss Xu won't find me disturbing."
Xu Youtang smiled and said: "No. Welcome Mr. Zhang to meet your bosom friend. How can Youtang dislike it?"
Zhang Yanling laughed out loud when she saw her playful and humorous words. She felt that this Xu Youtang was a cheerful and lovely girl, and her personality was very different from his father's.
The sky is gradually getting brighter, and people in the camp have begun to stand up, with unkempt heads peeking out. In the porridge shed on the other side, Axiu and others have already cooked the first pot of porridge. The aroma of porridge and rice has filled the air, attracting the people
They got up one after another.
Zhang Yanling and Xu Youtang returned to Xu Gao. Xu Gao had finished eating a jar of porridge. His tired and haggard face was now red, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.
"You're back. You didn't cause any trouble to the Marquis." Xu Gao wiped his beard and said with a smile.
"No, Ling Ai made a good suggestion. She suggested that we spread some firewood on the ground to prevent people from falling and hurting people when it freezes. Very good suggestion." Zhang Yanling said with a smile.
Xu Youtang's face turned red and he did not dare to answer.
Xu Gao nodded and praised: "Tang'er's suggestion is good. Why didn't I think of it?"
Zhang Yanling laughed, and Xu Gao suddenly pointed at Zhang Yanling's face and said, "Master Hou, what's wrong with your face? There seem to be a few teeth marks. What's the bite?"
"Ah?" Zhang Yanling was startled. Xu Youtang on the side was also startled. He quickly looked at it, and sure enough, he saw a few fine and neat tooth marks on Zhang Yanling's face. His face turned red for a moment, and he knew what was going on.
It happened. I fell down and hit Zhang Yanling’s face with my teeth. It was not just a kiss, but a solid bite. The tooth mark was left by me. Fortunately, it was not broken.
.
"Teeth marks? This... Oh, by the way, there was a puppy in the camp just now. It rushed out and bit me. I didn't pay attention for a moment. It's okay, it's okay." Zhang Yanling said.
Xu Gao frowned and said: "What puppy? Where are the puppies in the camp? Besides, those are not dog teeth marks. What's wrong? Hey, hey... Where are you going, Ah Tang? You girl, you won't even make a sound when you get back.
Say hello?... You don't even salute Mr. Zhang... It's so unruly."
Xu Youtang ignored his father's complaints and hurriedly fled from this place of right and wrong with a bamboo basket. Xu Gao complained inexplicably and followed a few steps and gave some instructions. When he turned around, Zhang Yanling had disappeared.
