But after a while, she thought of something and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Shadow: "What are you laughing at? Is it funny?"
"I'm not laughing at this," she said. "The mudslide was indeed an unavoidable disaster. It destroyed most of the trees, leaving us with no firewood. Even if there was any, it was wet and wouldn't burn. I was only laughing at you, Shadow Brother."
"Laugh at me?"
"yes."
"I have nothing to laugh at."
"Then why don't you just deliver some charcoal? Aren't there many high-tech ways to make fire? You've already delivered some to the villagers. It's really too dangerous to go out and chop wood at this time."
"good."
Pei Xiqing hadn't gone out for a month. He stayed at home every day, eating and sleeping. After chatting with him for a while, he prepared to go downstairs to take a look at the iron building inside.
Ying followed immediately.
Unexpectedly, Pei Xiqing glanced at him with a smile.
"By the way, I told you I'd introduce you to a girl when we were at the ghost market a while ago. I've been keeping an eye out for Brother Shadow all this time. It's a good opportunity for you to come with me to meet the girl later."
Shadow was stunned: "Huh?"
"Where's Brother Duan? Where is he?"
"Brother Duan has entered the building in front."
"Then let's go in and take a look together."
Shadow: "It's still raining outside, there's a lot of water on the ground..."
Pei Xiqing had already gone downstairs holding an umbrella.
Shadow: "I don't need you to introduce me again! Hey! Don't walk around in there, it's all men!"
He hurried to catch up.
After a lot of effort, he found someone. Pei Xiqing was squatting on the ground and talking to a child, pointing at the small brush in his hand that he used to polish people's shoes.
The corridor is narrow and the air is filled with the smell of rust. The road can barely accommodate only one person. It is so cramped and suffocating that the small square is crammed with people.
As soon as she appeared, many people in the corridor popped up their heads, most of them were men.
Just as the shadow was about to pass by, Pei Xiqing was pulled up from the ground.
The man was dressed casually, not like he was here for an inspection, but rather for a stroll.
He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looking lazy and casual, very gentle and elegant.
He grasped Pei Xiqing's wrist, pulled it slightly, and pulled her into his arms.
"There's a nice building over there, would you like to go over and take a look?"
Pei Xiqing's eyes lit up slightly: "Really?"
"Walk."
"Hurry up."
Shadow breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that she was with Brother Duan, he just followed behind her at a leisurely distance.
There was movement at my feet.
Looking down, he saw the kid who had just been chatting with Pei Xiqing was tugging at his trouser leg.
"Big brother, would you like to shine my shoes? The sister just said I'm really good at shining shoes."
Shadow squatted down and asked, "Can you do combat boots too?"
"Uh-huh!"
Shadow still had military orders and would not leave his post without orders. He just touched his head and said, "Come and patronize next time."
Unexpectedly, Pei Xiqing suddenly reversed back and waved at him: "Brother Yingzi! Brother Duan said that you don't need to follow him anymore. You can arrange the rest of the time on your own! Bye~"
Shadow: Finally I don’t have to be a third wheel anymore.
He patted the child's shoulder and sat down on a small wooden stool.
"Come on, give it a try and let me see your level."
"Big brother, do you like that sister just now?" The child squatted down and began to wipe his military boots on the ground.
