Sheng Gu's eyes turned red, and he knew that he couldn't choke this person, so he simply sat on the ground and refused to leave.
Xuan Jiu didn't care about her, closed the door and went in. When Uncle Chen came out of the yard and saw how angry he was, he asked him what was going on.
Xuanjiu told Uncle Chen truthfully, and Uncle Chen scolded him a few times and went to look for her in Shunuan's yard.
When he entered, he saw A Che also there, so Uncle Chen didn't shy away from telling Shu Nuan that Sheng Gu was still outside.
Shu Nuan didn't react much, and just said lightly: "I don't want to see her."
Uncle Chen nodded and went out to politely reject Sheng Gu.
Shu Nuan lowered her head and hugged Qingzhi, closing her eyes slightly, as if Qingzhi was the only resting place for her.
That was the only person she wanted to protect.
-
Beige.
The progress of carving the mountain was finally put on hold, just because several people had died in just a few months. The engineer in charge reported the actual information, which can be regarded as stopping the project.
The idea of opening up a new world has been put on hold, but these bosses have many ways to continue to make things difficult for these hard workers.
Here, Ji Xubai was severely tortured.
Two months ago, he contracted a cold and worked dizzy for a whole day. He thought he would be able to get over it by taking a rest, but who would have expected that his condition would become more and more serious. He has been coughing to this day, and his throat has been swollen. Coughing.
But the boss will not find a doctor for the hard workers here, leaving them to fend for themselves. If they work less because of illness, they will be whipped.
Ji Ershao, no matter how graceful he was in the past, is now stuck in this mud and can't get up.
That day they were called to haul goods. Because the roads in Beige were impassable, they had to go around several villages to haul the goods. When they returned, Ji Xubai couldn't hold on any longer, so he rested at a jujube tea stall at the foot of the mountain. foot.
He knew that if he couldn't go back before dark, he would be scolded by the foreman again, so he just planned to rest here and leave.
The owner of the jujube tea stall was a very nice old man. Seeing that he was wearing a hard worker's gray shirt and his face was pale, he didn't ask for money, so he poured a bowl of jujube tea for him to drink.
"Thank you." Ji Xubai thanked him hoarsely, took a sip of hot jujube tea, and coughed violently again.
"Master, is he sick?"
Ji Xubai waved his hand gently, as if he didn't want to trouble the old man.
Seeing this, the old man said nothing more and went to pour tea for other guests.
What Ji Xubai didn't know was that the guests at the other table at this time were two local officials in casual clothes.
They were talking about the current situation in Beige.
"Old Wu, it stands to reason that the geographical location of Beige is quite good, but because the roads are not smooth and block the main roads connecting to the outside world, Beige has always been a deserted land. You said, what we have developed over the years Why are these paths ineffective..."
The old Wu shook his head and sighed: "The atmosphere in Beige is here. It is so poor and desolate, and the road is not a major road connecting other cities. Anyone who dares to run here will naturally be ineffective..."
…
Ji Xubai drank the tea in the bowl, pressed his slender fingers on the corner of the table, slowly stood up, coughed a few times, and walked to the table behind him.
Old Wu glanced at Ji Xubai who was walking over, "Are you a prisoner?"
