Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 64 Leave
With the ten taels of silver they got, when they went home again, Li Kongzhu bought some rice noodles, meat and Cui Jiu's ginseng slices.There are more than eight taels of silver left.

Li Kongzhu took out more than two taels of silver again, and gave the remaining six taels to Mai Ya'er and his wife.

Mai Ya'er pushed and refused to take it, "With all the money and calculations, my husband and I only paid less than four taels. How long has it been since we have earned more than two taels of silver and went back?"

Li Kongzhu pushed back with a serious face, "If it wasn't for your help, how could there be so much money to earn? Don't say anything unbearable, I said it was a partnership. How can you be hypocritical just for these few taels of silver? After all, I have taken more silver!"

Mai Ya'er was pushed too far, so he had no choice but to accept it.

But after receiving it, I couldn't help but asked aloud, "Sister-in-law, instead of doing business with that big family, should we still sell it at the county fair?"

Li Kongzhu shook his head, "Let's rest for a few days, and then do it after the New Year's Eve. At that time, when the New Year's goods are sold, there will be a big sale."

"What my sister-in-law said is true! I can't live without it. I'd rather earn less than be angry!"

Li Kongzhu smiled and nodded, "That's the reason, God can't starve us to death!"

"Hmm!"

……

After sending away the Mai Ya'er and his wife, Li Kongzhu carefully put the two taels of silver he got into the purse.I found a corner and dug a hole, put it in a jar and hid it together with her thin dowry hairpin.

Zhao Junyi watched from the side, and after a moment of silence, he couldn't help but said, "How can I change places?" Didn't she always put stickers on her body before?

"That's right! I can't let you see it if you change the place!" Li Kongzhu was stunned, and pulled out the pot that was about to be buried in the soil: "This is my future dowry, can you not let outsiders see it?"

dowry?outsider?
A certain person was a little annoyed and laughed, "Even if you don't want to, don't forget that you are still my wife now? Talk about the dowry you want in front of your husband, will you give me the gift of marriage?" Put it in your eyes?"

"Yes!" Li Kongzhu turned his eyes to look at him, bent his index finger and middle finger, compared his own eyes and said: "Then, you are right here! Just look!"

"Also, it's not that I don't want to, but that you don't want to. You also said that I am your wife now, but you didn't say that I will be your wife in the future? The partnership will break up sooner or later. What's wrong with me facing the reality?"

She pointed at the man's eyes to see her own reflection in her eyes. In the clear eyes like autumn water, the bright black eyes were staring at him without blinking.

Hearing her so-called face-to-face words and the talk of breaking up the partnership, he recovered from his stupefaction, feeling a little confused in his heart.Very angry, but unable to refute.

Li Kongzhu stared at him for a while, originally wanting him to look at his reflection in his eyes to convey affection.Unexpectedly, he suddenly moved his eyes, turned around and walked outside.

Somewhat decadently, he threw the jar in his hand on the table.I didn't feel like it at first!

In the evening, Cui Jiu prepared ginseng tablets, and Li Kongzhu hurriedly made a rice porridge, and then finished eating hastily with the pickles mixed with dried wild vegetables sent by Mai Yaer.

When he went to the kitchen to wash, Cui Jiu leaned on the canopy bed like an uncle, pointed to the small stove at hand and said, "Add a few more pieces of firewood, the temperature has dropped again now!"

"The firewood is here, you have to add it yourself!" It's not that when you can't get out of bed, you can go freely now, why should you let the uncle wait on you?

Seeing Li Kongzhu squinting away at him, remembering the weird atmosphere during the dinner just now, he couldn't help curling his lips with a wicked smile, "What? Did the couple quarrel?"

Rolling her eyes at him, she put a basin of water in front of him.

"Why?" Cui Jiu asked.

"Huh~" Li Kongzhu blew on the basin, then raised his eyebrows and pointed at the undulating water pattern, "Do you know?"

Cui Jiu's face was a bit ugly, and when she looked up and saw her looking at her provocatively, she couldn't help but snorted coldly, and turned her head to one side.

Li Diaozhu didn't bother to talk to each other, he went out with a basin to wash his face and feet.Then go back to the main house.

Seeing the man meditating on the kang with his eyes closed, he snorted secretly.

Quickly pulled the neatly folded quilt over the top of the kang, spread the kang, got up again and blew out the oil lamp angrily.

Go to the kang, cover the quilt, close your eyes and fall asleep!
"Huh~" The rare man let out a sigh of relief, and twitched the corner of his mouth with a wry smile.In the darkness, he began to look unscrupulously at the person with closed eyes.

He really has an indomitable temperament, this kind of frankness almost defeated him...

It was night, and the north wind was blowing louder and louder. In the silent night outside, there was not even the sound of a dog barking.

The snow particles were blown by the wind and danced in the air for a few turns before falling to another distance.Such repeated blowing made the night walker almost blur his eyes.

Leap over a quiet wall and come to a small and narrow courtyard.

The masked man in tight black began to move forward slowly.

Cui Jiu and Zhao Junyi, who were sleeping in the hut and the main house, woke up when the visitor fell into the courtyard.

Zhao Junyi in the main room only squinted his eyes and got up silently from the kang.Hearing the soundless footsteps approaching, a hint of danger flashed quickly in his eyes.

Cui Jiu held his heart that was still aching, and also narrowed his beautiful narrow eyes, and tried his best to calm down his breathing calmly.

Feeling that the footsteps were heading towards the hut, the eyes of the man in the main room flickered.Gently lifted the house wall blocked by the straw curtain, and looked at the tall man in black who was slowly approaching the hut in the courtyard through a slight gap.

Squinting his eyes, his fingers stiffened for a moment.The groups of seemingly similar outfits in the diary almost covered his entire mind.

The breathing began to change a little, and it became thicker without hiding it.

Those who were close to the hut in the courtyard seemed to feel the change here.Turning his eyes, he looked in this direction through the darkness.

"Ah~ Master, I miss you so much, don't go away! Huhu~hiccup~"

Li Kongzhu on the bed suddenly cried out, then silently started snoring.

Zhao Junyi was so startled that he looked back at her, only to see that she suddenly turned over again and chewed a few times, as if she was chewing something delicious.After chewing, he sighed again, and began to level off with his breathing.

Silently fondling the corners of his mouth, shaking his head, he continued to look outside.

After hearing this, the man in black in the courtyard had no intention of getting any closer.

Instead, he walked quickly to the hut, and suddenly knelt down on one knee, "Master!"

When a familiar and deep voice came in from outside.

Cui Jiu heaved a sigh of relief.He hummed lightly, and ordered to the people outside: "Come in!"

"Yes!"

The visitor gently pushed the small door of the hut, the old wooden door unexpectedly did not make a sound in his hands.

As soon as the man in black opened the door and came in, he saw his master who had already got up and sat on the bed.

He lowered his head and looked quickly out of the corners of his eyes, then lowered his eyes and knelt down, "This subordinate came too late to save me, and I still hope that the master will forgive me!"

"Get up and answer!" Cui Jiu ordered with a serious face.

"Yes!"

When he got up, Cui Jiu's long and narrow eyes flashed a trace of hostility, "How did you find this time? Where is the elder brother's person? Are you still entangled? Maybe you are still looking for me?"

"The subordinates looked for the place where the master jumped off the cliff in the past, and found the scraped clothes of the master, and found the bones left by the wolves not far from the deep ditch with burn marks, so they made a bold guess. Start looking for the master."

After a pause, he continued: "Master, don't worry, the burned wolves in the deep mountain have been buried by his subordinates, and a pair of skeletons have been found from other places to pretend. There are many wolves and ferocious beasts in the forest on the northern mountain. People will not detect that the master is still alive."

Cui Jiu snorted coldly, "I was forced to push down the cliff that day and suffered all kinds of pain, but it was all thanks to him!"

After hearing this, the masked man in black stood there without saying a word.

"How many people are still alive today?"

"In addition to my subordinates, there are two hidden guards, who are now hidden in this ring town!"

Cui Jiu squinted her eyes, raised her chin slightly with her thumb and index finger and pondered for a while.

Finally, he ordered the man in black standing aside: "Protect me to go around the city tonight!"

"Yes!"

With nothing to clean up, the two hurried out of the hut directly.

When he reached the courtyard, Cui Jiu raised his hand to order the people walking behind him to stop.

I saw him lightly curling his lips, looking at the direction of the main house with a smile that was not a smile, half a sound, and lightly opened his lips, "Let's see if you read it wrong? Oh, then wait until the next day!"

After speaking, he immediately stretched out a pair of slender arms, and the person who stood behind immediately stepped forward and squatted on the ground.

Looking back at the main house again, Cui Jiu's eyes flashed the inevitable momentum, he squeezed his lips coldly, and climbed onto the broad back under the squatting hands.

After the man in black got up steadily, he said respectfully, "Master, this subordinate is about to get up!"

"Let's go!"

"Yes!"

With a flying jump, the black shadow immediately ran up to the wall that was about ten feet high.But in an instant, he was lost in the darkness.

Zhao Junyi put down the straw curtain that he lifted lightly in his hand, turned around, and looked at the sleeping person on the kang.

After a long time, he let out a complicated sigh.Go to the past, take off your shoes and get on the kang.Turning around and separated from her by a little distance from the kang, lying on each other's eyes, looking at her sleeping pretty face.

In her sleep, the woman seemed to have noticed something, and frowned uncomfortably.He started chewing again, hummed and turned over, with his back to him.

After a while, breathing steadily, under the closed eyelids, there are eyes that keep turning...
