However, the quantity is limited, and the control is quite strict.
As the boss, Ji Minxiu has no problem misappropriating funds, as long as he doesn't do anything illegal or disorderly.
Assistant Lin was also a good subordinate. After hearing the request, he was only surprised for a moment, then just did his job without asking any questions.
After giving his instructions, Ji Minxiu returned to the Great Sheng Dynasty and said to everyone, "Let's go."
"I want to go help too!"
"I want one too!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Hongcheng and Yun Mingyuan both responded enthusiastically.
“That works too. We do need some manpower. Can you ride a horse?” Ji Minxiu thought for a moment and asked Yun Hongcheng.
"Yes, I will." Yun Hongcheng nodded.
That's good.
Ji Minxiu led his men to the side of the post road and then disappeared again.
When they appeared, there were two more horses.
Ji Minxiu enjoys horseback riding and has set up a horse farm in his villa. These are his two most docile horses.
The post roads within Juzhou were narrow and steep, with many steps, making horses more convenient than modern transportation.
The main reason was that he needed to deliver grain to the village where the grandfather and grandson had lived earlier, which was only about two miles away, very close.
This move once again shocked both father and son.
The Snow Demon is not only elusive, but can also conjure horses out of thin air; she is truly amazing.
"Go up, don't be afraid, I'll help you."
The father and son rode on one horse, with Ji Minxiu leading Yun Zhourong.
Ji Minxiu made the suggestion subconsciously. At first, Yun Hongcheng agreed without much thought, but now, a strange feeling arose in his heart.
Although Lord Snow Demon is not human, he is still a man!
Is it too intimate for Ruan Ruan to ride a horse with him?
If I had known, I should have let that brat go with the Snow Demon, while he took Yun Zhourong with him.
However, since he had already agreed, Yun Hongcheng could only remain silent for fear of angering Ji Minxiu if he said anything now.
He could only console himself that Ji Minxiu was, after all, a demon, and perhaps his views were different from those of humans. He didn't have the strict separation between men and women, and he shouldn't judge him with such petty suspicions.
Yun Zhourong was unaware that her second uncle had been secretly worrying about her. With Ji Minxiu's help, she finally got on the horse.
However, I was a little flustered because it was my first time riding a horse. I gripped the front of the saddle tightly, my body stiff, afraid of falling off.
Fortunately, Ji Minxiu quickly mounted his horse as well.
Instantly, the man's broad and warm aura enveloped her from behind, making her heart flutter.
Such a posture and distance are really... a bit too intimate.
But for some reason, a faint sense of sweetness kept rising in my heart.
Ji Minxiu hadn't thought much of it at first, but when Yun Zhourong's soft figure fell into his arms, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
But he still tried to remain calm, clenching the horse's flanks, and said, "Let's go."
"Okay, okay."
Yun Hongcheng, who was following behind, felt very uncomfortable, as if his own cabbage had been stolen.
But out of reverence for the snow demon, he dared not say it aloud.
Yun Zhourong tried to tense up and lean forward to create some distance between herself and Ji Minxiu, but the horse was very bumpy when it started to move.
Before long, she slid backward into Ji Minxiu's arms.
The close contact and collision made Yun Zhourong's face turn red. She subconsciously wanted to apologize, but felt that speaking at this moment would be even more awkward.
They simply kept their heads down and pretended not to notice.
Ji Minxiu also took a deep breath, trying to keep himself calm.
But the atmosphere still became uncontrollably ambiguous, making their hearts race and their backs sweat.
Fortunately, the short circuit was short, and we arrived at our destination in no time.
Ji Minxiu dismounted first.
Yun Zhourong was a little clumsy and nervous. When she got off the horse, her foot got stuck in the stirrup, and her body tilted to one side. She was about to fall.
Fortunately, Ji Minxiu reacted quickly and his strong arms held her tightly.
Their eyes met, and time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Everything around them became unimportant; only the sound of their intense heartbeats could be clearly heard.
"Ruan Ruan, are you alright?" At this moment, Yun Hongcheng, who had dismounted, quickly came over and asked.
"No...it's nothing...thanks to Lady Snow Demon..."
The two of them came to their senses and quickly separated. Yun Zhourong was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to lift her head.
"That's good, that's good, Lady Snow Demon, thank you so much." Yun Hongcheng breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Ji Minxiu.
Ji Minxiu tried to suppress his emotions and calmly shook his head, saying, "No need to be polite. It's good that everyone is alright. Let's go."
After saying that, he walked straight towards the village.
Seeing this, Yun Zhourong hesitated for a moment but quickly chased after them.
After all, if Ji Minxiu wanted to stay here, he needed to have enough physical contact with her, and she had to stay by his side at all times.
Seeing the two walking side by side behind him, Yun Hongcheng inexplicably felt a sense of perfect harmony.
But he quickly shook his head, saying that humans and demons are not compatible and the two of them were not a good match!
Yun Mingyuan didn't think too much about it and strode after Yun Zhourong, taking her hand. "Sister, let's walk together."
"good."
Yun Zhourong's emotions calmed down a bit, and she smiled as she patted Yun Mingyuan's head.
The grandfather and grandson lived not far away; they arrived after walking for a while.
"This leg can't be delayed any longer, or it will be ruined."
The woman's soft sobs came from inside the house. "Those people are so cruel. You are the pillar of this family. What will we do if you fall?"
"It's all my fault. Where do we get the money for medical treatment now? This is my fate, so let's not waste money on unnecessary expenses!" Soon, a man's dejected voice rang out.
"What are you saying? Our family still depends on you. If you don't stand up, what will we do?" The woman's voice was both sad and anxious.
Her in-laws are old, and she is a woman. The whole family depends on the man for a living. If he doesn't get better, the family will probably fall apart.
"It's all my fault. Mei Niang, you should go back to your parents' home and remarry. Don't let me drag you down with you." The man's voice was choked with sobs.
"No, I don't want Mom to leave, waaaaah..."
Before the woman could speak, the boy's cries pierced the air: "Mother, I'm already 11 years old. In a few more years, I'll be able to go out and work to earn money. I can support you and me. Please don't leave me!"
"What a tragedy... Waaah..." This was followed by the mournful cries of two old people.
This scene left the people outside the door feeling quite uneasy.
These days, for ordinary people, it's truly a world of dangers, with wolves in front and tigers behind; survival is incredibly difficult.
"Knock knock knock..."
Ji Minxiu pursed his lips and then stepped forward to knock on the door.
"Who...who is it?"
Soon, the old man's voice rang out, but it was clearly tinged with caution and fear.
