Song Zhang stared at Qin Yao for three seconds, and seeing her expression gradually turning colder, he tentatively spoke:
"Madam Qin, are you interested in making a deal with Song?"
Qin Yao answered simply and decisively, "No!"
Song Zhang: “.”
After choking for a moment, he decisively changed his words, "Song can buy an abandoned house in the village and rebuild it."
Qin Yao said sincerely: "Then we can talk about it."
Such a real reaction made Song Zhang choke for a moment. He opened his mouth, but really didn't want to speak. He forced a smile and followed Qin Yao across the bridge, up the slope, and to her home.
Liu Ji had just gone to the toilet and was coming back through the back door when he heard some noise in the front yard. Thinking it was Qin Yao coming back, he stuck his head out to take a look at her.
Upon seeing this, I was surprised to see the county magistrate not wearing his official robe.
Liu Ji hurried out and greeted him.
"I'm late and haven't been able to welcome the distinguished guest. I hope you don't mind!"
After that, he bowed, and without waiting for Song Zhang's reaction, he continued:
"I have something urgent to do, so I won't accompany you. Please sit down and treat it as your own home. Liu Ji will leave for now!"
After saying this, he withdrew his greeting again, turned around and ran into the study without looking back.
Song Zhang was a little confused, "Madam Qin, what's your husband doing?"
Qin Yao waved her hand, "It's okay, he's just catching up on his lessons, we don't need to worry about him."
He raised his hand and invited the person to come into the main hall. "Please come in and have a seat, my lord. My humble abode is simple. Please forgive me for the inadequacy of my hospitality."
"Awang, serve the tea!"
Qin Yao shouted into the yard because she didn't know where Awang was.
But he must be nearby and would immediately rush to the kitchen when he heard her voice.
"Oh." Song Zhang responded hesitantly, asked his followers to watch the horses outside, and followed Qin Yao to the main hall to sit down.
He was just wondering if the Awang that Qin Yao called was a dog. As soon as he sat down, a figure suddenly appeared in the kitchen that was empty a moment ago and brought him two cups of hastily brewed hot tea.
Song Zhang looked at the person who came in surprise. He had an ordinary appearance and ordinary temperament. He stood by the door with almost no sense of presence.
I just always feel like something is weird.
Song Zhang was suspicious as he took a sip of tea from the rough earthenware cup. He had not had a drop of water on the way here and was dying of thirst.
It was a little hot, the tea leaves weren't fully soaked, and the water was very hard, so it could only barely quench my thirst.
However, seeing Qin Yao drinking tea as if it were water, Song Zhang vaguely understood that the tea in Qin Yao's family was equivalent to water.
Putting down the teacup, Song Zhang first looked around this simple yet not shabby room. He felt that he understood Qin Yao a little better and felt more confident.
This time, he came here with an element of gambling in mind.
Facing a dangerous person like Qin Yao with only one follower by his side was risky in itself.
If she gets unhappy, no matter if he is a county magistrate or not, he may be killed by her.
After all, when she wanted to deal with the golden toad, she was not afraid of the other party's power.
What’s more, he is a county magistrate from another place?
"If you have any ideas, please just tell us directly. Let's talk less nonsense and improve efficiency." Qin Yao waited for a while but Song Zhang didn't speak, so she took the initiative to bring up the topic.
Song Zhang had been thinking about how to start the conversation, but before he could come up with an idea, Qin Yao threw in the conversation, and he immediately followed her words and asked back:
"Madam Qin, do you have any troubles?"
Qin Yao nodded, "I have a big worry."
Song Zhang's eyes lit up, "You can say it anyway."
As long as it's not difficult, he can help her.
"This shouldn't be a difficult task for adults." Qin Yao thought of Carpenter Liu's leisurely life at home, and showed a bit of yearning, expectantly:
"I opened a factory, but I'm a lazy person. Do you have any good ideas that can make my factory continue to make money for me while allowing me to be lazy and not do anything?"
Song Zhang was obviously stunned. That’s it?
This is not a difficult task. It can be solved by finding a loyal and reliable servant.
"Is there nothing else?" Song Zhang asked tentatively.
He looked as if he couldn't wait for her to make more requests.
Qin Yao shook her head. "No more, just this one."
Song Zhang secretly took a deep breath in his heart. This little thing was just a piece of cake for him. There happened to be a servant at home who met Qin Yao's requirements, so it would be okay to send her alone.
But on the other hand, he would be in trouble.
The transaction mainly depends on the chips. The chips given by the other party are so big, and his requirements cannot be much higher than hers.
Seeing Song Zhang's disappointed look, Qin Yao asked curiously, "Did you encounter any difficulties, sir?"
She also imitated his words and asked him to speak out boldly.
Song Zhang looked at her for a long time, as if to confirm whether she could be trusted. Qin Yao laughed and thought, why did you come to me if you don't trust me?
He appeared to be very patient, letting Awang bring another plate of wolf jerky, eating snacks and letting him speak anytime.
The hall was filled with the sound of Qin Yao chewing jerky. She handed over the plate with good intentions, "My lord, try it? Wolf meat jerky should be hard to find in the city."
Song Zhang glanced at her. Qin Yao raised her chin towards the plate in affirmation. Then he tentatively picked up a grain and put it in his mouth, chewing it carefully.
"How was it? Was it unexpectedly good?" She asked, not needing his answer, and continued:
"Wolves look ferocious and difficult to deal with, but in fact, it is very easy to kill them. As long as you have a sharp weapon, no matter how ferocious a wolf is, it is no match for humans."
"Hearing what Madam Qin said, it seems that it is indeed very easy." Song Zhang laughed and asked curiously what weapon she used to kill the wolf.
Qin Yao generously went back to her room and brought out her bow and arrow to show him.
Song Zhang frowned suspiciously, "Are they all broken arrows?"
Qin Yao picked up the bow and the broken arrow, and said with a smile while putting the arrow on it: "It doesn't matter. As long as it can be used, it's a good arrow."
After saying that, he drew the bow to its full length, and his fingers released the taut bowstring. With a "swoosh", the remaining arrow flew through the air, drawing a perfect parabola in the air, and finally stabbed deeply into the mud on the dam outside the yard.
Song Zhang hurriedly stood up and looked over, only to see half of the broken tail feathers trembling helplessly in the drizzle.
Qin Yao gave Awang a wink, and Awang nodded slightly, strode out of the door, came to the arrow, and finally pulled out the arrow that was deeply embedded in the arrow with a lot of effort.
He returned with the arrow in his hand and gently placed it on the small table in front of Qin Yao and Song Zhang.
Song Zhang took a closer look and saw that the wet mud had stained almost the entire arrow body, which showed its power.
A look of horror flashed across Song Zhang's eyes, and he finally understood why Wang Mawu and others were afraid when they mentioned Qin Yao.
"Grass!"
Qin Yao's angry curses suddenly rang out in the main room.
Song Zhang looked back and saw that the bow in her hand could no longer withstand such great force and the bow suddenly cracked.
Qin Yao was speechless. It had worked fine when she used it to kill wolves before, but today when she used it to shoot an arrow at it, it broke.
But when I think about it, I have been using it for almost two years without any care, and it seems like it’s time for it to break.
