Chapter 266 Inexplicable Concern
Wu Laoliu came to the house on time the next day. Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people coming to study, he first apologized to Mrs. Wu, and then taught the class on behalf of everyone as if nothing had happened.
Mrs. Wu called all those who were responsible for watching the fire and who stayed at home.
As for those working in the mine, Wu Laoliu could only make another trip there at night.
After three days of learning, Shen Qingqian and his colleagues officially started working in the brick kiln.
Sheng Ze was on vacation that day. After breakfast, he naturally followed Shen Qingqian.
Seeing this, Shan Mancheng came over calmly, standing not far away from Shen Qingqian.
Sheng Ze glanced back at him, then turned around and asked Shen Qingqian, "What are you going to do today, Sixth Sister?"
As far as he knew, most people were working at the brick kiln today, and the women of the Shen family were at home making cotton clothes and shoes and doing some trivial things.
Shen Qingqian was completely unaware of the undercurrents between Sheng Ze and Shan Mancheng. Upon hearing the question, she casually replied, "My third sister and I are going to the fields to look for some medicinal herbs."
The seasoning matter mentioned earlier was delayed due to the construction of the brick kiln. Now that the brick kiln is on track, she has to continue.
Last night before going to bed, she overheard a conversation between Wu and Shen Xiao. They realized the family's money might not last until winter, so making money was urgent.
Shen Qingqian went to the eaves to get her backpack and straw net bag, and called Shen Qingxiao, "Third sister, let's go."
"The weather is nice today. I'll go with you and just treat it as exercise." Shan Mancheng said with a gentle smile.
Sheng Ze's face darkened for a moment, but soon returned to normal. He suggested, "I heard that there are many medicinal herbs and a lot of prey on the Qunji Mountain in the west. Why don't we go there?"
At this time, Wu came out of the house and heard this. She glanced at Shen Qingxiao and smiled, "I think it's okay, Sister Qian, you two can go together and bring back more herbs."
My silly daughter obviously likes Cheng San, but she doesn't show it in front of him. Letting them go together will at least give them a chance.
Shen Qingqian immediately understood what was going on when she saw the look Wu was giving Shen Qingxiao. She smiled and nodded, "Okay, Auntie!"
Shen Qingxiao lowered her head and said nothing, but the temperature of her face, which was hidden by her hair, was rising.
Shengze went back to the house to get a bow and arrow. Shan Mancheng saw him and said, "Brother Cheng, please lend me a bow and arrow too."
"You will..." Sheng Ze raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
Shan Mancheng said embarrassedly, "My father once had someone teach him for a few days."
Not only can he do it, he is also very good at archery.
Sheng Ze remembered what he said before. Since he was being chased by people but still managed to escape here alone, Shan Mancheng must have some skills. So he gave him Lingyun's bow and arrow.
He just wanted to see if Shan Mancheng was related to Chengji of the Jiayu clan, and today might be an opportunity.
Several people walked out with their own thoughts, but after taking a few steps, they saw Ma Tingting jogging towards them with a small cloth bag in her arms.
"Third brother Cheng, I heard that you were injured. This is the wild ginseng my fourth brother found two days ago. Here, you should take good care of yourself." Ma Tingting stuffed the cloth bag into Sheng Ze's arms without saying a word.
There was no way Sheng Ze could let her get close to him, so he took a big step back.
There would be nothing wrong with retreating, but this step took him to the side of Shen Qingxiao.
"Don't call me that." Sheng Ze stopped and looked at Ma Tingting coldly, not giving her any face at all.
Apart from Shen Qingqian, he felt uncomfortable even when other sisters of the Shen family called him "Third Brother Cheng", let alone someone he had no impression of at all.
He couldn't bear this inexplicable concern.
Ma Tingting's face turned pale, and she raised her hands awkwardly in the air. She bit her lip and looked at Sheng Ze pitifully, "We went to find food together last time."
