Chapter 237 Small talk
"Yuchan, are you okay?" Wei Hongmian thought she had been ambushed and was feeling unwell somewhere.
Bai Yuchan shook her head, "Jingzhi and Junior Sister entrusted you to me, and that group of people almost succeeded."
"This is all unexpected! Jingzhi didn't expect that someone would come to such a northern place." Wei Hongmian knew the crux of the problem after he finished speaking.
In the original world, young people entering society would also feel confused and deny themselves.
Bai Jingzhi had encountered this before, but it was Bai Zhao who guided him back then, allowing Bai Jingzhi to gradually get into the state and immerse himself in his work.
She didn't have the chance to participate that time. After all, they hadn't been close as mother and daughter for more than 20 years, so whatever she wanted to do would seem abrupt.
Fortunately, she has a chance to make amends here, but Jingzhi's feelings for her are still not as strong as his feelings for her father.
The two of them communicated frequently using chat tools, but Jingzhi rarely sent her messages.
When they talk to each other every day, they always feel like there is a layer of separation between them.
Wei Hongmian has been trying hard to change, trying to make up for the emotional loss in his previous life.
Over the past few months, they have been traveling all the time, and their mother-daughter relationship has developed into a very good one, and Wei Hongmian is very content.
Coming here, living a peaceful life with her family is what she longs for.
Unfortunately, after they came here, disasters continued to occur.
It’s always a cycle of solving problems as they arise, over and over again.
I thought I could just wait here for them to return triumphantly, but this happened to me.
Wei Hongmian is still scared and his hands are cold.
Seeing Bai Yuchan blaming herself, she patted her shoulder and comforted her softly, "Don't blame you! You are already very powerful for fighting against so many people alone. If it weren't for you, we would have died here today."
Bai Yuchan perked up, "Aunt, I'm fine. I will definitely set up a formation here in the future, and the enemy won't be able to get close to me."
The person in front of him was so confident that Wei Hongmian was a little confused. How could he recover so quickly?
This girl is quite capable and she never wastes time on herself.
"Hongmian, take Miss Yuchan upstairs to wash and change. We will boil a few more pots of water and wait for your sixth aunt. We have seen blood today, so everyone should clean up."
By boiling water in several large pots together, hot water can be supplied.
"The medicine juice just now also fell on you. Auntie, you should also wash up." Bai Yuchan thought of the medicine juice sprayed after Wei Hongmian went out, and there was some curiosity in her eyes.
If those medicinal juices are used properly in the future, Wujiyuan will definitely become the most difficult city to conquer.
Bai Yuchan's bad mood came and went quickly, and her attention instantly shifted to the medicinal juices.
Unfortunately, they are not very familiar with each other now, and she is too embarrassed to speak.
It was getting dark.
The fire in the cabin had not yet burned out, but the temperature outside the cabin suddenly dropped.
In winter, the temperature difference between morning and evening and daytime in Wujiyuan is huge, so it would be extremely uncomfortable to spend the night outside.
Gu Tinglou commanded his subordinates to clean up the pirates' bodies. Those pirates who had fainted were tied up and thrown outside, and they were covered with weeds and branches.
"If they are lucky enough to survive tonight, we will let them go. From now on, all the work here will be theirs."
Gu Tinglou came from the southernmost tip of Wujiyuan, and she now knows the situation there very well.
Compared with Prince Li’s fiefdom, this place is too desolate.
Not many refugees came over there. Some of them died on the way, or were intercepted by the court and not allowed to go north.
Some people have already settled in the southern end of Wujiyuan. If they can settle down there, those people will not come to the north again.
Going further north, you have to climb over two mountains and cross a wetland.
When the climate returns to normal next year, it won’t be so easy to come here again.
For ordinary people, the wetland is difficult to cross.
After all these people were settled, Gu Tinglou led his men into the wooden house.
She threw the pirate leader to the ground and said, "Keep an eye on him. Don't let him get away."
Gu Tinglou had more than 40 subordinates. She looked around the wooden house and said, "You can squeeze together at the easternmost part tonight. We can build a few more wooden buildings tomorrow so that we can live in more."
"Yes!" These people shouted in unison, scaring Hua Kezhen.
Hua Kezhen hid in a corner and never dared to mention disbanding and leaving again.
After years of being counselled by the Hua family in the secret room, he had already known the current situation.
Just as the little girl Zhou Yue'e left, here comes another female devil.
The aura of Gu Tinglou is not comparable to that of that little girl.
Hua Kezhen munched on some dry food in silence, put his bag under his butt, and began to think about what to do next.
Gu Tinglou glanced at these people, spending more time on Hua Kezhen.
This person is somewhat out of tune with the others, so you need to observe him carefully.
There were no other people as most of them were relatives of the Bai family.
"Madam Wei, please sit down and warm yourself by the fire. When Hongmian comes down, you can go up with her to wash up."
Old Lady Bai stood up and handed Gu Tinglou a cup of hot water. "Warm yourself up quickly. When the cold-dispelling medicine is ready, each of you can drink a cup."
Wei Hongmian had already prepared the medicinal materials, and Bai Meidong had been watching the pot boiling the cold-relieving soup.
"Just call me Tinglou!" Gu Tinglou took it with both hands, "Aunt, we are all family, don't be distant."
Wei Hongmian appeared with Bai Yuchan, "Sixth Goddess, I'll take you to clean it up."
"You all should be on guard. You will be divided into groups of ten and take turns patrolling." Gu Tinglou went up to the second floor after making all the arrangements.
She passed Bai Yuchan by each other.
The two looked at each other and nodded.
"Is that Miss Bai a relative of the Bai family?" Gu Tinglou soaked in the bathtub, letting Wei Hongmian rub his back.
Wei Hongmian did not hide it, "No, she is the granddaughter of Bai Xiang in the capital."
To them, Bai Yuchan's identity is no secret.
"Bai Xiang's granddaughter is actually hanging out with you guys." Gu Tinglou closed his eyes and tapped the edge of the bathtub with his fingers, not knowing what he was thinking.
Wei Hongmian was afraid of exposing his true identity, so he didn't dare to say anything more. He just carefully rubbed the elder's back and hair.
It took Gu Tinglou two buckets of water to clean it up.
"Sixth Aunt, you must have suffered a lot along the way, right?" Wei Hongmian looked at the first bucket of dark red dirty water and was a little shocked.
How many people must have fought together to achieve this.
"It's not bitter. You should know that these are commonplace for me." Gu Tinglou changed into the clothes prepared by Wei Hongmian. "Yes, there are clean clothes to change. You should not encounter any danger during your escape this time."
When she saw Wei Hongmian's strange expression, she asked:
"Could it be that I am wrong? Tell me what has happened to you in the past few months."
Wei Hongmian asked someone to carry the bucket down, and the two of them sat in the room and chatted.
Except for hiding the things related to the space, she told everything else truthfully.
"They are just going there like this, aren't they afraid of not being able to come back? Where does Jingzhi get his confidence from?"
Gu Tinglou knew about the transaction in Yuzhou and was a little worried.
This old man! Just following the nonsense.
