9 min read2,260 wordsMature

On the small road from Huajia Village to Qu Qing's house, there were three men

who were slightly hesitant walking on the road.

The tallest one of them said, "Are we really okay to go like this?"

Walking in the middle, said: "Of course, we are not here to help, we just want

to be lazy and have a meal, so we don't want to work."

As a result, when the three of them went, the person who helped build the

house just finished eating and clearing the dishes, and a few people turned

around and wanted to leave. As soon as Qu Qing saw these unfamiliar faces, he

immediately went up to hold them warmly.

"Several, are you ready to come and help today when you're done with your work

today? Oh, thank you so much. It's really bad here. It's really short of

manpower. Over there, it's enough to chop bamboo and move it here." They are

so enthusiastic that it is hard to refuse.

Just as the few people were about to refuse, they saw Jiang Orion with an axe

walking towards this side expressionlessly, thinking of his ruthless

appearance, they immediately took the tools Qu Qing gave them: "Go, I'll do it

right here. go with."

He went to the bamboo forest and chopped half of the bamboo. Several people

were discussing how to run. Qu Qing just came over and said to them with great

joy on his face: "Fortunately you are here, otherwise, alas..."

Seeing his indescribable expression, several people were shocked, and

hurriedly asked why they said that they were lucky to come?

Qu Qing frowned vigorously, shook his head and sighed again: "I managed to

hold Jiang Hunter down too, I said that there are still many good people in

the village, let him not be so impulsive and extreme, I said that someone will

definitely come today. Yes, everyone is not reneging on their debts, it's just

that the work in the fields is not finished."

The slightly fat man felt a chill on his spine: "He, he, he! If we don't come,

what is he going to do?"

Qu Qing shook his head and said nothing: "You don't have to worry if you are

here. As for the others, sigh, I have tried my best, and he also said that the

house he built will be given to me if it's a big deal. It's a thank you, he

said. I don't want to suffer a second time in this life."

The tall man fell to the ground, his expression on his face was uncertain, his

lips trembled and he said: "He, does he want all the people who didn't

come..."

The fat man next to him glanced at him in horror, and the other man touched

his neck in fright, his lips pale and said: "I heard that Jiang Orion escaped

from the battlefield, and it is said that he killed him on the battlefield.

For him, killing a lot of people is like killing a chicken, swiping a knife on

the neck will kill you..."

Qu Qing was a little surprised. He originally wanted to intimidate them, but

he didn't expect the effect to be so outstanding?

But this was also the first time he heard about Jiang Orion's past. He

actually escaped from the battlefield?

Seeing that several people were truly frightened, Qu Qing, who had achieved

his goal, patted their shoulders, turned around and continued to work.

After today and yesterday's busy work, the basic framework has been worked

out, and Qu Qing has also successfully learned the skills of building a house

from it.

And the frightened people, after working in trembling for a day, heard that

after the end of the day, they didn't eat dinner, and they left as if they

were scared. run to describe.

When I returned to the village, I immediately told the incident to the people

in the village who had united to cheat.

"This is real!"

"It's as simple as killing a chicken for him."

"Can we be together every day for twelve hours a day? Besides, if he quietly

climbs over the wall and enters your house at night, can you stop him?"

"He doesn't want the house anymore. I heard that it was actually built for Qu

Qing. He will start it when it's finished!"

…

This kind of thing is easy to spread rumors, anyway, as long as a small number

of people believe it, then it is not far from the vast majority.

Many people didn't believe it subconsciously when they listened to it, but as

the rumors became more and more true, and Jiang Hunter did kill people on the

battlefield, everyone knew that he was a deserter and the court did not

recognize him. A person like him who has no fields, no wife and daughter, can

run away after killing people, and no one can catch him.

On the second day, Qu Qing took out the list, and found that there was not a

single one in the list. He also prepared a lot of plans for coercion, bait,

bait, and other plans, but he didn't have the chance to use them all. .

Looking at the active and diligent appearance of those people, he quietly went

over and asked Jiang Orion: "Are you really like what they said, you escaped

from the battlefield and killed people on the battlefield?"

Jiang Orion's action of chopping wood: "They are right, but I am not greedy

for life and fear of death, but during the war, I received a letter from my

family, my wife and parents all fell ill and died, and only one son was left

unattended. At that time, I was moved to leave, but the war was fought every

year and every end of the year, and the whole family was killed. It was not a

big battle. In the end, I simply ran away and went home secretly with my son.

When I got here, the village chief took me in because I was pitiful."

Qu Qing nodded: "No wonder, I just casually intimidated it and the effect was

so good. If I had known this earlier, I would not have thought about those

complicated conspiracies, and there was no chance to use them. It's a pity."

Jiang Hunter looked at Qu Qing and said, "I didn't expect that Mr. Qu,

sometimes we look soft and weak, but in fact he is not weaker than others at

all. If you were born twenty years earlier, you might have been a military

instructor in the military camp."

Qu Qing waved his hands and said, "Forget it, as the saying goes, it is better

to be a dog of the prosperous world than to be a chaotic person, and live in

peace like this. Although it is poorer, it is very good. As long as the

environment is peaceful, we can live in peace. Find a way to make money."

"Qu Qing," Jiang Orion suddenly looked at him seriously, "I always feel that

you will achieve extraordinary achievements in the future, and it will never

be limited to this small place."

Qu Qing raised his eyebrows: "Forget about extraordinary achievements. I just

want to be an ordinary person and make some money. Maybe if I can't make money

in the village, I will go out. I'm just an ordinary person."

"Why do you pay so much attention to money? You don't seem like the kind of

person who likes money very much." Jiang Orion doesn't understand Qu Qing's

obsession with money. Logically speaking, if he is really a person who loves

money like his life, Then he would definitely not just use money to buy

medicine for the other party just for the trivial matter of making the people

around him beautiful. This is definitely not like what a person who loves

money would do.

Qu Qing smiled helplessly and said, "Maybe I don't love money that much, but I

need it, at least for now, I need more money to live the life I want."

Jiang Orion wanted to ask what kind of life he wanted, but then someone next

to him called him to ask about the housekeeping ceremony, and the two went

back to busy.

After the number of people doubled, the speed of building a house also

doubled. The people who came behind were honest, not lazy at all, and even

tacitly agreed that they would not even be embarrassed to eat here. This can

be said to have saved Qu Qing a lot. trouble.

A lot of people are powerful, just like this, it only took less than a week to

build Jiang Orion’s two-story bamboo house, and the moving and other matters

were also settled in less than an hour, and Qu Qing’s house was instantly

empty. most of them.

After finishing work, Jiang Orion thanked the people who came to help one by

one and let them go home.

But there were still more than a dozen people left behind who were reluctant

to leave. Jiang Hunter knew that they were trying to intercede with him, but

he deliberately did not speak, waiting for someone to ask him.

Everyone looked at each other, and one of them walked over with rubbing his

hands and said with a flattering smile: "Before we... on the one hand, we

didn't finish our work on the farm, on the other hand, we were too tired, so

we thought about taking a two-day break, definitely not intentional. If you

want to lie to you, you can see it and let it go, don't take him to heart,

okay?"

Jiang Orion didn't know what they meant, but he still pretended not to know

and smiled politely: "The folks in the big hometown, what are they talking

about? I don't care about such trivial matters at all. Well, besides, the

villagers are all here to help."

A bunch of people in front laughed and said, "Then, let's go home now?"

Jiang Orion's faint voice suddenly came from behind. "But didn't it say three

days, there are still half a day, and the rest can't just be forgotten..."

Someone couldn't help but think of it and said that the previous person also

had a long time, how could they leave, but was quickly pulled by a smart

person.

After all, they have to fight, they can indeed beat Jiang Orion, but if Jiang

Orion really tries to remember his life, they have no certainty. People are

afraid of death.

The crowd asked him a little discouraged: "Then what do you want to do for

half a day?"

"I have something to do for a long time. Now that I am here, I will help my

brother's roof and yard to repair it. In the vegetable garden over there, we

will build a fence and a wider bamboo bed. There are two more cabinet."

Qu Qing was a little surprised. Just as he was about to refuse, Jiang Orion

whispered to him: "Just pay my son's tuition in advance. You can focus on

taking care of my son in the future, and these people are useless anyway."

Qu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I think I really hugged your

thigh now. Not only did I eat meat, but I also replaced all the furniture with

brand new ones."

"What are you talking about? You have helped me a lot in the past two days. If

you didn't communicate with everyone in the middle, I really couldn't do some

things."

"In that case, can you help make another bed?"

Jiang Orion didn't think there was any surprise, but said as a matter of

course: "Of course there is no problem, yes, the kitten has grown up slowly,

and it should have its own bed."

Qu Qing wanted to say that this was not the case, but there was no need to

explain this kind of thing, just think about it.

The people who were left to work were more or less angry in their hearts, but

because of Jiang Hunter, they honestly built furniture for Qu Qing in the end.

Some people say that Qu Qing has a good life and made such friends. It was Qu

Qing who was going to be a husband, and Jiang Orion must be flattering him

when he had a child.

One of them was making the bamboo bed in his hand, looked left and right to

see that Qu Qing and Jiang Orion were no longer there, and said disdainfully:

"Che, what's so great about being a gentleman, and reading can't be eaten as

food, I won't let my children go there. Learn that kind of useless stuff."

Although a few people agreed, but they were all whispering, and of course some

people thought quietly in their hearts, reading is not a meal, but Zhao Dahu

gives a tael of silver for teaching for a month.

Suddenly, a man with a slightly thief-eyed appearance whispered to the person

next to him: "You said, Jiang Hunter is a deserter? Is this true?"

The person next to him is not sure: "It shouldn't be fake, right? Everyone

says that, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"Nothing, just a little curious."

After the man finished speaking, he continued to lower his head and moved his

hands. The expression on his face was similar to everyone else's, with a bit

of unwillingness and anger.
