Traveling through the Three Kingdoms: She brings unlimited supplies to build infrastructure

Chapter 144
The old woman in Gebu clothes knelt on the ground, tugging on Zhou Xing's sleeves, crying and begging.

Although she is said to be an old woman, she is actually different from the concept of old woman in Gongsun Yan's impression. It is not easy to judge the age of people here by their appearance.

I saw her lying on the ground, with two bones in her back protruding high.

The hand holding the hem of Zhou Jing's clothes was thin and dark, with thick calluses and cracked holes. The nails were long and yellow, like the claws of a bird.

There are some black and yellow marks in the wrinkles on the face that is full of ravines. I don’t know if they are sunburn marks or dirt accumulated due to poor personal hygiene.

The gray hair is sparsely tied and held up with a wooden hairpin that looks like a tree branch.

Gongsun Yan stood at the corner of the high wall.

She also knows that there is no basis for such superstitious taboos, but it is an indisputable fact that she is currently observing filial piety.

I believe that if she insists on going in, no one will dare to say anything.

However, just because no one dares to comment doesn't mean they won't feel angry.

It would be troublesome if such resentment extended to the two children about to be born in the hospital.

The moment Gongsun Yan was thinking and weighing, she didn't notice the change in the expressions of everyone present.

Zhou Jing directly pulled the corner of the robe out of the old woman's hand, and the expression on his face changed. The upbringing etiquette he had learned allowed him to control it and did not kick her.

"What an ignorant and stupid woman! Who is Mrs. Yan? You are lucky to be here. Who bumped into whom?"

Zhou Xing followed Zhao Yun to Lulong, but he did not move his family out of Guzhu as usual.

Instead, he sent his eldest son to Zhao Xi to follow him. On the one hand, he hoped that the eldest son would learn from Zhao Xi and at the same time show his loyalty.

Now Zhou Jing has no clear responsibilities in Guzhu, but his actions and thoughts are no different from those of a disciple.

He had been troubled by this ignorant woman these past few days, but it was still within the tolerance range.

At this time, I don’t know if it was because of my tolerance in the past few days that this foolish woman from the mountains had some kind of misunderstanding, so she dared to arrange for the wife of the master?
Zhou Jing was about to ask someone to drag her down, but he heard the young girl's shouts coming from the distance.

"To shut up!"

When Zhou Jing heard the news, he saw a group of people standing at the corner. The one who spoke was the maid Alan who had been following his wife.

Alan often cooked tea and served water in Mrs. Yan's study, and helped organize some documents. She had a quiet temper, and Zhou Jing rarely saw her showing such an angry look.

Not to mention Zhou Jing, Gongsun Yan had never seen Alan so angry.

He could hear the mother-in-law talking nonsense in the distance. Alan was worried that she would say some rude and crazy words again, so he passed Gongsun Yan for the first time, stepped forward and covered Gongsun Yan behind him, and squeezed his open mouth a little further.

The long sword at his waist was already two inches out of its sheath, and he was about to step forward when Alan squeezed him from the side.

He was stunned and looked back. Alan, with a pretty face, gestured to the old woman at him.

Zhang Zhang was stunned for a moment, then strode forward, and a guard behind him followed him spontaneously.

Walking up to Zhou Jing, he opened his arms to Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing was stunned for a moment, then nodded to Zhang Zhang and stepped away from the old woman.

The old woman on the ground was already stunned when she was scolded by Zhou Jing.

After hearing the scolding again, she saw two more soldiers striding towards her. The leading man had hideous scars all over his right face.

At this time, the woman realized that she was not at home, and she was not facing a dumb daughter-in-law.

After reacting, she shivered like chaff and fell to the ground.

A big hand reached out and grabbed her collar.

Such a stooped and short woman could be carried effortlessly in her hand with her arms wide open, just like a chicken.

Holding the long knife in one hand and the woman in the other, Zhang Zhang walked out.

In the troubled times, the Northland has been fighting for many years, and there is no distinction between men, women, old and young in his eyes.

The guards who came with him were also former sergeants of Baima Yi, and they had a tacit understanding with each other.

Seeing Zhang Zhang holding the man, the guard raised his hand to Zhou Jing and said, "Mr. Zhou, is there a shovel in the courtyard?"

"Yes, yes." Zhou Jing nodded, "I will order a servant boy to help you two deal with it later."

What do you want to deal with?
Gongsun Yan stood in the distance, his mouth slightly opened.Although she knew that in this era, kings and ministers were all about death, she was still a little stunned when she saw Alan reach a tacit understanding with only a few eye contact.

What's going on with this sense of deja vu of evil forces that kills people but doesn't care about burying them?

Seeing Zhang Zhang dragging the old woman away, Gongsun Yan hurriedly stopped.

"Anyuan!"

The previous displeasure of the young man had dissipated, and Gongsun Yan resisted the urge to hold his forehead and put down the old woman who was shaking like a quail.

There was no need for Gongsun Yan to weigh it at this time. She patted Alan's arm comfortingly and led her forward slowly.

He frowned and shook the old woman out of his hand.

The skinny woman rolled twice on the ground, and her bones felt painful on the stone slab.

But she ignored the pain on her body, her hair was disheveled, she knelt on the ground, her forehead touched the bluestone, making a bang bang sound.

Although she had never seen it before, she already knew that the girl in front of her was the owner of this place.

She didn't dare to look up, her two legs were fighting, and she kept kowtowing.

The girl in front of them could determine the life or death of their whole family.

Gongsun Yan heard that it hurt, but at this time there was absolutely no way she could blame and question Alan Zhang, who was protecting her.

"okay."

Gongsun Yan walked straight past the old woman.

The two men who had been spying behind the door breathed a sigh of relief.

An old man and a young man, one behind the other, ran over, passed by Gongsun Yan, and helped up the old woman who had fallen down.

They kept watching from behind the door, and even when the old woman was being dragged away, they didn't make a sound.

At this time, seeing that the host's wife wanted to forgive him, she hurriedly ran out, knelt down in a row with the old woman, and kept saying words of thanks.

Gongsun Yan didn't look at them and walked straight into the courtyard.

The old woman should be the wife and mother of these two men.

No matter how ignorant and foolish her ideas are, her starting point is to protect her family.

The person she protected was hiding behind the door and spying.

Gongsun Yan frowned, feeling disgusted in his heart.

The two guards entered the courtyard first.

Behind the courtyard gate there were several ragged people, old and young, probably a whole family, all lying behind the door to peek.

When they saw the two guards coming in, they dispersed like flies and ran far away to the corner corridor.

Gongsun Yan then stepped into the courtyard.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she couldn't help but frown.

Various clothes were draped on the flowers and trees in the front yard, torn to pieces, and there was urine in a corner of the garden. I wonder if it was caused by children.

The sanitary environment is nothing more than a simple altar made of planks in the middle of the front yard.

There were some dry rice held on leaves on the altar, which should have been provided by the cook of the main house.

There was a crudely handmade wooden carving and a stone slab with a corner missing.

Gongsun Yan took a closer look and found out that it was a wooden toad with a naked figure drawn on the stone slab.

The painting of the little man is very crude, with two mung bean eyes on the face like a plate, and limbs like noodles. Only one part is very detailed.

Under the villain's crotch, there is an exaggerated drawing of an object with complete organs.

The purpose of this altar is very clear. They are offering sacrifices to seek a son.
