Chapter 56 57. Squeezing into the Bed
After the thrilling experience of last night and the busy day today, Jin Qianqian collapsed on the kang as soon as she entered the room.
"Finally, I can take a break," Jin Qianqian waved her hand and released her favorite little grizzly bear doll, hugging it contentedly, "But today their family was too enthusiastic, and it seems like we got the upper hand."
Jin Qianqian touched her belly. Grandma Zhu not only cooked pheasant soup for them, but also fried a plate of eggs. You know, these are their main sources of exchange for daily necessities, but she just used them to treat two strangers.
Gu Wenheng lay down next to her and said, "When we leave tomorrow morning, let's leave some money for them. But it seems that asking them to help lead the way may not work."
"Then let's go on our own," Jin Qianqian said confidently, "Even if there is danger, we have a way out."
If no space was found to bring people in, Jin Qianqian would not dare to say such things.
The ditch was in Gu Wenheng's mind. "I remember you mentioned before that you also collected some construction equipment. Is there any that can directly cross the ditch?"
Jin Qianqian, "I did say something ironclad, as long as the span is within that range, I can build a temporary bridge for you."
Gu Wenheng: "..." I really want to ask this girl to make a list. The preparations are too complete and she gives me such a surprise every now and then.
"Let's get some rest and leave early tomorrow," Jin Qianqian folded the quilt on the kang aside and put out the woolen quilt that had been put away in the space before, "I believe that if we leave early, they will feel more at ease."
Gu Wenheng casually threw the quilt that Jin Qianqian gave him into the corner and quickly moved to her bed.
Jin Qianqian's cheeks immediately turned red, "Didn't I leave a blanket for you? Go sleep over there."
"We are a couple, and haven't we always rested like this before? I'm used to it." Gu Wenheng put his arm around her waist and pulled her flat, with their heads touching.
"But that's different," Jin Qianqian tried to break free uncomfortably, but she was firmly controlled by a force.
Sleeping in the open air and facing everyone's gaze, they couldn't just occupy one corner each as a couple. Besides, there was only one quilt in their luggage, so it was unrealistic to separate them.
But this is different from a single man and a single woman being in the same room.
"There's nothing different. Anyway, you're my wife and I'm your husband. If we don't squeeze into the same bed, where else can we squeeze into?" Gu Wenheng saw that she was still struggling, so he could only use a ruthless move, "You don't look tired at all, how about we discuss how husband and wife should get along?"
Jin Qianqian stared at his eyes full of expectation. She was so scared that she quickly tensed up, closed her eyes and shouted, "Let's go to sleep. I'm so tired from running all the way."
"You little devil," Gu Wenheng scolded with a smile, but he didn't make things difficult for her. He put his arms around her waist, feeling the softness of her body in his arms, and gradually fell asleep.

"Mom, we don't even know them, why do you let them live here?" Zhu Mu saw the oil lamp in his brother's room across the street go out, then he looked curiously at Zhu Da and his wife.
"Okay, there are always difficulties when you are away from home," Zhu Da didn't want to explain too much, "You guys should also go and rest quickly, and send the prey to the city to sell it early tomorrow morning."
"Don't be stupid and get fooled again when you go into the city. Remember to bring the prey to the restaurant in our village that always delivers goods. The prices are fixed and they won't cheat you." Granny Zhu looked at her eldest son and couldn't help but remind him again, so that he wouldn't be cheated before entering the city like last time.
Zhu Da, "Let's try harder and see if we can find a wife for the eldest brother by the end of this year. Look at that little brother, he already has a wife at such a young age."
Zhu Mu was full of expectations, but also had a bitter taste in his mouth. It was extremely difficult to find a wife in their hunting village, and most families were unwilling to marry their daughters to such a remote place.
When my father married my mother, he was already over 30 years old. And if it weren't for my step-grandmother, there was no way my mother would have been able to marry into the mountains.
"Okay, stop giving me that look," Zhu Da kicked the two brothers and made them rush to the door. "Your Aunt Tian has already agreed to help us find a solution. We can't find anyone nearby. At most, we can ask a matchmaker. At most, we can pay a little more money."
Zhu brothers, "..."

At the gate of the government office, He Tuliang did not expect to meet Lan Yun here. He did not expect that Lan Yun had been hiding and hiding, and had finally found this place with great difficulty, but he saw that he was already ready to follow the government servants into the gate.
"Mr. Lan, what are you doing here?" He Tuliang couldn't miss this opportunity and quickly chased after him.
"Who are you?" Lan Yun stared at him in confusion. Do they know each other?
"You don't know me, but it's enough that I know you." He Tuliang had a grudge against the Gu family, so he naturally paid special attention to the affairs of his family.
"Didn't your sister marry the youngest of the Gu family? We are also relatives by marriage."
"Don't talk nonsense. My sister hasn't married yet," Lan Yun shouted, "It has nothing to do with you."
"Oh, you dare to do this but not admit it. You have taken so much water from them, and everyone in Baini'ao knows about it." He Tuliang turned around and looked at the police officer beside him, and instantly changed his face into a smile, "Brother police officer, I have something very important to report to him, please let me know."
As he spoke, he grasped the yamen runner's hand in an experienced manner, and the silver coin that was originally in his hand was immediately clenched between the other party's five fingers.
"Your Excellency is very busy all day long. Even if you want me to talk on the phone, you have to give a legitimate reason!"
"It's about a miracle," He Tuliang looked nervous, this was his last chance.
"A miracle?" The guard looked at Lan Yun beside him in surprise, while Lan Yun glared at He Tuliang fiercely, "Another one?"
Lan Yun turned to the yamen runner and smiled apologetically, "Sir, I came here first to report, and the prefect is willing to see me, so let's go in quickly."
He Tuliang still had something he didn't understand, so he pointed at Lan Yun and cursed, "You are such a despicable villain. Even if it is a miracle, it is because God favors our entire Baini'ao. What does it have to do with you?"
Lan Yun was about to open his mouth to refute again, but was interrupted impatiently by the yamen runner, "Okay, since you are all here for this matter, let's go in together.
But I have to say this: if you anger the adults, you should be careful of your own lives. "
He Tuliang clenched his fists and said, "Please let me lead the way."
The bailiff stuffed the benefits he had just received into his waist and waved his hand to signal the two of them to follow.
Lan Yun, "You peasant, do you know what will happen if you anger the master? You should leave now before anything happens!"
