Chapter 229 Daily life in the mountains



Su Qi missed her two sons at home. The poor two kids were always left behind as children.

I want to finish things here quickly so I can go home. I also have to go to Yunxian after the New Year.

"Baizhi. Are those girls still making a fuss? Don't they want to leave here?"

Bai Zhi spat, her head filled with anger as she thought about it.

"How can they have the energy to make trouble again? They say they want to leave here, but they have nowhere else to go." Bai Zhi sighed, "Madam, if they follow their words, most of them will be drowned if they go home."

"Why are you so soft-hearted?"

Bai Zhi turned her head and said bitterly:

"She was originally a pitiful person, but now she is so hateful. She even told me that men need someone to relieve their sexual desires. It would be better to let them do it than let others do it." Bai Zhi spat. God knows she couldn't bear to listen to what was said.

These shameless guys.

Seeing Bai Zhi looking like she wanted to beat those people up, Su Qi quickly said, "Let's go take a look first."

"Ma'am, don't let those people get close to you. These women are really brave."

If Bai Zhi hadn't seen that they were so weak, she would have whipped them to death.

"Um."

Su Qi and Bai Zhi walked to a separate house. There was no one guarding the house, and a copper lock was hung on the door.

Someone in the room was humming a nice tune.

Su Qi stood outside the door and listened for a long time.

I just heard someone inside singing a little tune.

"Hui Niang, stop singing. My stomach is growling with hunger. All I've had all day is a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun. Do you really want us to starve to death here?"

"Yes. You said we have no home to return to, and now we are going to starve to death here?"

"I want to be a man in my next life. What do you think these people are planning?"

"I don't know either. These guys are different from the beasts before. We can hear the men training every day, but no one pays any attention to us.

"But going back is a dead end. Which family can tolerate a woman who has lost her chastity?"

There were soft sobbing sounds coming from the room.

Su Qi lowered his eyes slightly, revealing a thoughtful look.

"Baizhi, tell the kitchen to make them some delicious meals."

Bai Zhi agreed at first, then was startled and said, "Madam. I will accompany you. These girls are very fierce."

"No problem, go ahead."

Bai Zhi had no choice but to bite her lip and run away.

Su Qi walked over and opened the door.

The girls inside were either sitting or half lying on the mats on the ground.

When they heard the sound of the door opening, they all looked over and saw a woman in a lavender jacket and skirt walking in.

She was of medium build, with only two thin silver hairpins in her hair. She had a beautiful face and an inviolable look.

"Has the person changed? The girl from last time doesn't dare to come?" A girl in emerald clothes lying in the room glanced at Su Qi and played with her hair.

Su Qi glanced at the person who spoke with a cold look on her face.

"What good will it do to you if you fight her? You'll only have one meal left and no one will care about you. If you continue, you'll probably be thrown into the woods to fight with wild animals."

Su Qi's words made these people's faces change.

They originally thought that when men came over, they could show off their beauty and fight for benefits.

Who knew that there were always two women coming and going.

"What do you want?" All the women in the room sat up straight and looked at Su Qi warily.

Several people stood up.

Su Qi walked to the middle and stopped.

"It's not what I want. You can't stay here. You have to leave."

"Madam, it's not that we don't want to leave, it's just that leaving means death. If someone had the guts to do that, they would have run into a wall and died right here.

But we are all afraid of death.

I also forgot that a woman dying of starvation is a minor matter, but losing her chastity is a major one. At least she survived." The woman in emerald clothes could see that Su Qi was the one with the final say here.

She knelt down in front of Su Qiyingying.

"Madam, please give us a way to survive."

The others followed suit and knelt down.

Seeing that these people had relaxed, Su Qi softened her tone and said,

"I know you're having a hard time, and it's not something you want to do. But people in this world are so ignorant, and it's common for them to be unable to tolerate others. Tell me, what are your plans for the future?"

The woman in emerald clothes spoke her mind. "Madam, if there is someone who doesn't despise us, we will marry him and serve him, and live a life of undivided devotion from now on."

"If we can't find such a good man, could you give us a place to stay? We can also do some mending work."

The others all nodded in agreement.

Su Qi thought about it and realized that there were many bachelors on Hulu Mountain.

Can we ask them?

If possible, it would be nice to stay on Hulu Mountain. If not, you can also specialize in mending clothes there, or work in a processing workshop.

Su Qi thought about it for a while, "There is an opportunity right now. But they are just some mountain people."

"If that doesn't work, then stay in the workshop and work. You'll have no problem supporting yourself."

Mountain people have a low status.

The woman in emerald clothes had a glint of joy in her eyes. "Madam, people like us are only despised by others. How could anyone despise a mountain dweller?"

"Thank you, Madam, for your kindness."

"Get up. I asked the kitchen to make you some food. If you agree, I'll send you over tomorrow."

"yes."

When Bai Zhi came over, she found that Su Qi had already walked out.

She came jogging all the way over.

"Ma'am, are they making trouble again?"

Su Qi shook her head, "No. They are just poor people. Let Zheng Suocuo arrange for someone to send them to Hulu Mountain."

"What?" Bai Zhi was puzzled. Who were these women sent to Hulu Mountain to harm?

Su Qi did not explain further.

She found Gu Beiheng and told him her opinion, and Gu Beiheng thought it was a good idea.

There are many people who originally stayed in Hulushan, as well as some soldiers who were discharged due to injuries and their families.

There aren't many women.

It would be great if these women were willing to live an ordinary life.

"Okay, I'll talk to Zheng Suocuo and ask him to arrange for someone to send it over." Gu Beiheng thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back tomorrow."

"Yeah. I want two kids too."

"I'm afraid I have to go to Yun County first before I go back. Zhou Hua'an said that the old prince Rongshan has declared himself emperor. He changed the country's name to Zhou and plans to make Zhou Hua'an hand over the position of county magistrate." Gu Beiheng's face darkened.

Changing the county magistrate would be unfriendly to them.

But he had to lie low for now and not get involved in the fight between the royal family members.

Su Qi went back to pack her things.

The space is still being upgraded since so many poisons were put into it last time.

Early the next morning.

Gu Beiheng, Su Qi, and Bai Zhi left. Su Tianze stayed.

In his words, since he can't take the imperial examination now, he might as well stay here.

Gu Beiheng also wanted to train Su Tianze, so he let him work here with Li Dapao and others.

When Su Qi and others left, Zheng Suocuo also arranged for people to send those women to Hulu Mountain.

All of them were masked and had their hands tied, and were taken out by people from the mountains pushing wheelbarrows.

These women had no idea what was going on in the valley.

The area where they are located is far away from the casting area.

It was quite a distance away from the mine. These past few days, Li Dapao and his team had taken possession of the mine, and this area finally belonged to them.

As for the silver mine, it is some distance away from here.

Gu Beiheng only had to wait for Military Advisor Mo's men to arrive so that he could arrange for people to take over the silver mine.

He wanted to take away the things that Prince Rongshan relied on for his livelihood one by one.

Arrived at Mengjiazhuang.

It's already evening.

The last ray of sunset shines on the earth, and the afterglow is indescribably beautiful.

From a distance, Su Qi saw Gu Xiuming's mother looking around for something.

"Auntie, what are you looking for?" Su Qi and Bai Zhi walked over and asked. Gu Beiheng went home alone.

Gu Xiuming's mother was startled. When she looked up, she saw that it was Su Qi. She patted her chest and said, "I was so scared. Qiqi, I finally managed to grab a bamboo card.

Go to Mingfeng Town tomorrow to get the magic water. I've seen people who were half-dead from pain drink a cup of this magic water, and the pain was gone and they felt refreshed.

When Su Qi heard this, she thought, isn’t this the magic water?

Has the promotion started?
