Chapter 204 I'm afraid it's going to be marinated

In the mountain village, far away from the tent, Yang Wu looked at the flying leg in front of him and lowered his voice: "What's the matter?"

The flying leg bit his lips, twisted his hands, his ears were blown red by the cold wind, and his voice trembled slightly: "I, I want to tell the boss a secret."

Secret?

Yang Wu said: "What secret?"

The flying leg raised his head and glanced at him quickly, then quickly lowered his head: "I lied to you, I am actually a woman..."

Yang Wu showed an unbelievable look on his face, his mind was blank and buzzing.

"You, what did you say?"

With a "dong" sound, Fei Maotui knelt on his knees on the snow and kowtowed. His voice changed from usual and he said loudly: "I, I am a girl named Caiwei. When I was young, there was a locust plague and I was sold by human traffickers. But I was ugly and no one was willing to buy me. They were also unwilling to abandon me, so they took me with them."

"It was not until we reached Jinzhou that I was able to escape and see the light of day again thanks to the help of the boss."

The more she spoke, the firmer her voice became. She looked up at Yang Wu, but not directly at him. When she looked closely, her pupils dilated.

"The reason why I have been hiding this from the boss is because I know that the boss always treats me as his younger brother. I don't care, but I think it's wrong to keep my identity a secret and enjoy the boss's preferential treatment, so I want to tell the boss."

After she finished speaking, she buried her head in the snow again. Yang Wu was shocked by the news for a long time.

He just felt it was ridiculous.

A Yu, and now there is Cai Wei. He thought they were all brothers, but it turned out that they were all girls? !

Yang Wu pinched his eyebrows, exhausted physically and mentally.

"You get up first. It's cold in the snow. Don't get sick. As for the rest, let me think about it, think about it carefully."

He sighed lightly. Cai Wei also knew that he must be difficult to accept for a while, so she stood up silently, bowed to him, and then turned and left.

Yang Wu stood there, the moonlight stretched his shadow very long, and then, footsteps came.

"What's wrong?"

He wrinkled his nose, his eyes full of impatience.

"Boss, the brothers found that there is still one person who has not been sent away."

Yang Wu: "???"

In the side tent, Yang Wu and Jiang Zhaorong stared at each other and asked at the same time.

"Why are you still here?"

"Where are they?!"

After the two asked, they fell into deep thought, and then Yang Wu said: "Do you think you should go down the mountain now or tomorrow morning?"

"If you go down the mountain tonight, you can still use an ox cart. If you go down the mountain tomorrow morning, you can only rely on your two legs."

Although there are many horses, they are precious resources of the mountain village. It is appropriate to give them to the benefactor, but to this person...

forget it.

Jiang Zhaorong took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "Then please prepare an ox cart for me."

...

In the early morning of winter, the cold air bit people, and the sunlight shone through the thin mist onto the earth, shining like broken diamonds, covering the cold world with a layer of golden cloak.

The news of Liu Zhijie's death had already been reported back to Shengjing. The emperor directly sent an oral order to promote Xu Yaowen to be the new governor, and he would return to Beijing to report on his duties next year.

Therefore, only Jiang Zhiyu and He Yanting returned to Beijing today.

No, there was also Jiang Zhaorong who rode an ox cart back to the city last night under the stars and moonlight, and as soon as he arrived at the city gate, he immediately changed to a horse carriage and prepared to return to Beijing.

It was unknown how long the oxcart had been there. The body of the oxcart was rotten and filled with an indescribable odor. One could smell it even from several meters away. One could imagine how Jiang Zhaorong felt after sitting on it all night.

Jiang Zhiyu laughed in his heart:

[Haha, my scumbag dad is probably going to be marinated. I am laughing to death!]

Xu Yaowen was beside the carriage, and he gave detailed instructions: "Don't be in a hurry on the way back. Stay around the county more. When you grow up, your uncle will take you to the southwest. The scenery in the southwest is more beautiful than Shengjing."

Jiang Zhiyu nodded repeatedly, then took off the jade pendant from her waist and stuffed it into Xu Yaowen's hand.

Xu Yaowen: “?”

“How can I do this,” Xu Yaowen hurriedly handed it to Jiang Zhiyu: “This is a token sent to you by the emperor, how can you give it to me, this is not…”

“What does it matter, uncle, you keep it,” Jiang Zhiyu pushed it: “Don’t fight with me, it’s useless for me, uncle, you may be of great use to me in the future, don’t worry about me.” After

several refusals and failure to stuff it back, Xu Yaowen confirmed again and again that the emperor would not be angry with Jiang Zhiyu, so he had to accept it.

But what does it mean to be of great use in the future?

Xu Yaowen’s eyes stagnated slightly, and while he was thinking about it, he felt a burning gaze from the side.

He followed the gaze and saw that the curtain on the side of Jiang Zhaorong’s carriage was lifted.

But looking over, Jiang Zhaorong was sitting upright in the seat, motionless.

Could it be that it was lifted by the wind?

Xu Yaowen retracted his gaze and exhaled softly: "Let's go, let's go."

The wheels started slowly, and the two carriages moved forward and backward as they had come.

The difference from the time they came was that two streams of smoke rose along the road, the weather was good, and there were children scooping up snow on the roadside, and sprinkling it on the ground.

Everywhere was full of life.

Someone saw Jiang Zhiyu's face in front of the car window and immediately shouted in surprise: "Benefactor!"

People in the village came out one after another after hearing the voice, their faces were excited, and their eyes were also filled with excitement.

The shouts of "Benefactor, benefactor" were endless.

In the past few days, Xu Yaowen has spread Jiang Zhiyu's portrait to the people of Jinzhou, and now everyone in Jinzhou knows her.

Jiang Zhiyu's heart was in turmoil, just like a stone thrown into the calm lake of his heart, causing ripples.

They called out a few times, and someone shouted in surprise: "Wait for me, benefactor, I'm going to get some things!"

Just like a stone stirred up a thousand waves, others also shouted to wait, and then ran to their own houses, and when they came out again, their hands were full of things.

The carriage was moving slowly, and the people soon caught up. Jiang Zhiyu lifted the curtain and chuckled, "I know everyone's intentions. I appreciate your kindness. You can take the things back. You don't have to give them to me."

As she spoke, she waved her hand to signal the carriage to hurry up.

The people were carrying heavy things, so they naturally couldn't follow for too long, so they shouted to the carriage, "Benefactor, come to Jinzhou again in the future!"

"Benefactor, after my son graduates from high school, I will let him go to Shengjing to find you."

Every word and every sentence represented their unspeakable gratitude.

Jiang Zhiyu didn't lower the curtain until she could no longer see their figures.

She had tears in her eyes, but her face was full of smiles.

He Yanting looked at her with a gentle look.

He could see that in addition to the emotion in Jiang Zhiyu's eyes, there was also the deepest thing hidden in her eyes - nostalgia.
