Luo Qingqing was so sleepy that she didn't notice Xiao Jiuchen's ugly expression and his slightly awkward steps.
She returned to her cabin and continued to sleep soundly.
After Xiao Jiuchen returned to his wooden house, he paced around the house for a long time.
At breakfast time, he called the third leader Zhu Chuanming over.
He said casually, "Master Zhu, there are so many more weapons in the village now. Can your men handle it?"
Zhu Chuanming twirled his beard and said respectfully, "My subordinates are honest and down-to-earth. There are no problems at the moment."
Xiao Jiuchen asked again: "Who is managing the armory now?"
Zhu Chuanming replied, "It's Xiaotai and Xiaoji. Xiaotai was originally in charge of the purchase account books, but the weapons have just been put into storage, and there is a lot of work to be done. Xiaotai and Xiaoji are too busy to handle it alone, so I asked Xiaoshuang to take charge of the purchase account books."
Xiao Jiuchen nodded and said, "Transfer Luo Qing over and give him to you for a while."
Zhu Chuanming hurriedly said, "Captain, this is absolutely unacceptable. Luo Qing is a man of both civil and military talents, and is the perfect person to be by your side. He can assist you with paperwork within the village, and he can also protect you outside. Furthermore, Luo Qing's loyalty is unmatched. Wasn't it thanks to Luo Qing that you were able to escape danger last time?"
Xiao Jiuchen's face remained calm.
He smiled and said, "Luo Qing is only temporarily available to you. After this busy period, he will naturally come back to me."
Zhu Chuanming was deeply moved and quickly thanked him: "Haha, thank you for your support, Great Village Chief."
During this period, his men were indeed busy like spinning tops.
It would be best if Luo Qing could come to assist him for a period of time.
Zhu Chuanming left happily.
Luo Qingqing slept until noon before getting up.
She ran to Xiao Jiuchen's wooden house excitedly.
In the main room, Xiao Jiuchen was sitting and looking at the account book.
Luo Qingqing sat aside consciously and sorted the documents that had just been delivered into categories.
Xiao Jiuchen put down the account book and said solemnly to Luo Qingqing, "Luo Qing, there are so many more weapons in the village recently, and the third village chief is too busy to handle them. During this period, you can go over and help out."
Luo Qingqing paused while organizing the documents.
She frowned and looked at Xiao Jiuchen.
She noticed that Xiao Jiuchen's way of addressing her had changed today.
In the past, he always jokingly called her "Little Luo Qing", but Xiao Jiuchen just called her "Luo Qing".
This has never happened before.
Ever since she entered the village, Xiao Jiuchen had never called her name so seriously.
She felt that something was changing quietly.
Xiao Jiuchen's eyes were fixed on the account book in his hand.
He didn't dare to look Luo Qingqing in the eye.
This morning, Luo Qingqing asked him if he liked men?
He reflected on his abnormal behavior towards Luo Qing during this period.
He really treats Luo Qing differently.
He liked looking at him, liked teasing him, and liked the feeling of the two of them being together.
As long as Luo Qing is by his side, he feels at ease doing anything.
His behavior is indeed abnormal.
Luo Qing must have noticed that he had special feelings for him, so she tested him this morning.
If Luo Qing continued to stay by his side, he didn't know what he would do to Luo Qing.
Letting Luo Qing leave is the best solution now.
Luo Qing asked, "Brother Xiao, when will I be back?"
Xiao Jiuchen didn't raise his head or eyes, he replied slowly: "We will talk about this later, I don't need you here for the time being."
The intention of this statement is obvious. After Luo Qingqing leaves, she doesn't need to come back.
He even found such a good excuse, and his words of refusal were so tactful and decisive.
Luo Qing boldly guessed: "Brother Xiao, are you angry because I teased you this morning about liking men?"
"No!" Xiao Jiuchen answered quickly, which further showed his guilty conscience.
Luo Qingqing smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, you are too stingy. You usually love to make fun of me. I was just joking with you, why are you so stingy?"
Xiao Jiuchen took the account book from her hand, pulled her out, and sneered, "Nonsense, why would I get angry over such a small matter? It's true that the Third Village Chief is too busy to handle everything, so he asked you to go over there to help. Come, I'll take you there."
Luo Qing shook off Xiao Jiuchen's hand and walked out first.
Her words were left on the breeze: "I am very familiar with every plant and tree in the village, so I won't bother the village chief to lead the way."
Dog man, very good!
He wants to distance himself from her, right? Then she has to distance herself from him too.
When the time comes, he shouldn't beg her to come back.
After that day, Luo Qingqing started working under Zhu Chuanming.
Although her work is busier than before, it is less stressful.
She was away from Xiao Jiuchen and didn't have to think about how to become his right-hand man or give birth to a child for him. She was happy and free.
After working under Zhu Chuanming, Luo Qingqing quickly became friends with everyone.
Since Zhu Chuanming was known for his mild temper, it was easy to work for him.
Everyone only needs to do their own part every day, and the rest of the time is at their own disposal.
Because of this, Luo Qingqing finally had a place to spend the 10 taels of silver that she had won in the Dragon Boat Festival competition.
She went to Qinglan Town every few days, and she quickly found out what delicious food and fun things there were.
It was a hot summer day. Luo Qingqing spent the whole morning busy in the warehouse and then went down the mountain alone.
