Chapter 162: The Bamboo Courtyard Was Destroyed
Gu Mian felt recognized and needed by everyone, and his mood brightened up again. He said happily, "Well, leave it to me!"
Because the drunkard was about to move to the valley, Lin Xiaoyue planned to go back to the bamboo courtyard to clean up first. After being away for so long, the place must be covered in dust!
Lin Xiaoyue said to Jiu Laoguai, "Dad, should I move all the herbs in the warehouse to the valley first? I need to clean up the valley first anyway."
The old wine freak nodded and said, "Okay! Jingyao, you help the girl and don't let her get too tired."
Liang Jingyao smiled and said, "Of course. Let's move the herbs out of the warehouse first and transport them to the valley before dark. Yunyun, you stay here and take care of the old wine monster. I'll leave the Silver Slash Guards to protect you."
Chen Yunyun agreed: "No problem, go ahead!"
Since the drunkard had been seriously injured and lying in bed since they moved in, the medicinal herbs in the warehouse were still placed there. Liang Jingyao didn't let Lin Xiaoyue do anything. He called the Silver Slash Guards and asked each of them to carry a bag directly onto the carriage.
The carriage was running fast on the road to Yangmingshan. Lin Xiaoyue was excited, as if she was going to meet a friend she hadn't seen for a long time. She hoped that the bamboo courtyard would still be the same as when she left!
Liang Jingyao felt the hand holding Lin Xiaoyue become a little stiff. He asked with concern, "Yue'er, what's wrong with you? Everyone on the mountain is my people, don't worry!"
Lin Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment. It seemed that Brother Liang had misunderstood!
She smiled and said, "No, I was just thinking about how it's been since I last went back to the Bamboo Courtyard. I wonder what it's like now? Emperor Liang is targeting you so much. I wonder if he'll have the Hussars destroy the Bamboo Courtyard?"
After hearing what Lin Xiaoyue said, Liang Jingyao felt unsure. Who knows what Emperor Liang, who has such a strong desire for revenge, will do?
He patted the back of Lin Xiaoyue's hand and comforted her, "It's okay. If it's really destroyed, I'll build another one. The bamboo courtyard will always be there!"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded, her heart always in turmoil as she watched the streets passing by quickly.
Finally, the carriage stopped. Lin Xiaoyue lifted the curtain and looked out. It was still the same wide river, calm as if nothing had ever happened.
"Brother Liang, we're here! It turns out there is an entrance here, which you didn't tell me before!" Lin Xiaoyue couldn't wait to jump off the carriage.
Liang Jingyao quickly explained: "This place is usually used to transport goods. Usually we go out directly from the coffin shop. Yue'er, don't be angry!"
Lin Xiaoyue's face was filled with anger at this moment. She didn't hear what Liang Jingyao said behind her, "Brother Liang, our bamboo courtyard is gone!"
Liang Jingyao looked at the ruins in front of him, and the anger in his heart could not be calmed for a long time. Although he had thought about this possibility on the way, he still found it hard to accept when he actually saw it!
Zhuyuan is so important to me!
This is where I start over. Every bamboo, every tile, and every table, chair and bench are all made by myself!
And here, I have beautiful memories with Yue'er!
Emperor Liang actually destroyed this place so thoroughly!
"Yue'er, don't worry, I will avenge our Bamboo Courtyard!" Liang Jingyao clenched his fists and swore.
Lin Xiaoyue gritted her teeth and said, "It's okay, there will definitely be a chance!"
In order to rebuild the bamboo courtyard in a short time, Liang Jingyao called many people from the Cheetah Army. They began to clean up the ruins, putting aside the usable ones and throwing the unusable ones directly onto the cart to be thrown away when they left the valley.
Lin Xiaoyue did not return to the teahouse. Although she could not do heavy work, there were so many people working here who needed to eat and drink water, so she decided to stay and work as a cook.
She rolled up her sleeves and found the large iron pot she used to use among the ruins. The edge had several large cracks, but fortunately the bottom was intact. She called Liang Jingyao and said, "Brother Liang, this large iron pot can still be used, but it's too heavy for me to lift. Please help me take it to the river to wash it, and I'll build a stand to start working and boil water."
Liang Jingyao touched Lin Xiaoyue's head apologetically and said, "I'm sorry to make you work hard again."
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and glared at Liang Jingyao, saying, "What are you talking about? Everyone is helping, I can't just sit there and watch with my legs crossed, right? Go!"
Liang Jingyao nodded, picked up the big iron pot with one hand, and walked towards the river.
Lin Xiaoyue bent down and picked up some wood that could be used for burning and piled it up. She also found some dry leaves to start the fire. "Whoosh!" The wood on the ground quickly caught fire.
Next, Lin Xiaoyue walked into the bamboo forest. She planned to cut a piece of bamboo because bamboo is hollow and there are partitions between each section. If it is cut, it can be used as a cup to drink water.
Lin Xiaoyue didn't have enough strength. She chopped for a long time and felt her hand holding the knife was sore, but she still hadn't cut through the bamboo.
At this time, Liang Jingyao washed the big iron pot and filled it with water. He didn't see Lin Xiaoyue, so he put down the iron pot and went to look for Lin Xiaoyue.
As he walked, he heard a rustling sound among the bamboos in the forest, so he ran over.
Sure enough, there was a figure chopping bamboo with great effort. However, due to lack of strength, the bamboo did not shake much.
"Yue'er! Why didn't you call me? Can you cut such a big bamboo?" Liang Jingyao ran over angrily and distressed.
Lin Xiaoyue straightened up, wiped the sweat from her face, and said embarrassedly: "I'm just trying it out. If I can chop it off, I won't bother you anymore."
Liang Jingyao snatched the knife from Lin Xiaoyue's hand, spread out her palm, and saw that there were a lot of scraped skin on it. "Look at your hand, does it hurt? Yue'er, do we still need to say such things to each other? If I don't take good care of you, not only will the drunkard not let me go, I won't let myself go! Don't do this again in the future, it's more painful than getting stabbed myself!"
Lin Xiaoyue silently withdrew her hand, wrapped it with a handkerchief, and said, "Okay!"
Liang Jingyao sighed and said, "I'm sorry, I spoke too harshly, please don't be angry."
Lin Xiaoyue just couldn't stand Liang Jingyao's nagging, so she shook her head and said, "No, no! Brother Liang, please quickly chop down some bamboo so we can use them as cups to drink water."
Liang Jingyao nodded, "Okay, step back a little, I'm afraid of hurting you."
As he spoke, he chopped the bamboo twice at the mark he had just chopped, and the bamboo fell down. Then, he chopped out several more bamboo tubes from the fallen bamboo.
Liang Jingyao turned around and asked Lin Xiaoyue, "Yue'er, is this okay?"
Lin Xiaoyue walked forward, picked it up, and looked at it. She said with great satisfaction, "Okay! This is exactly what I want. Brother Liang, you can take it to the river to wash it. I'll dig some more bamboo shoots in the field. Everyone has worked so hard, I'll make some more delicious food!"
