Chapter 18 The House Burned

Without waiting for Brother Sang to answer, the man's entourage pulled out the Luban chair and set it up. The man boldly lifted up his cloak, crossed his slender legs, and sat down in a wanton manner.

He spread his legs, held his fingers together in front of his chest, and looked at the big one and the small one coldly.

Brother Sang felt great pressure, he pursed his lips and pushed Little Sister Sang behind him.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

His eyes were long and narrow, drooping at this moment, and his whole person was full of energy, exuding a manic look that said, "Whoever dares to say nonsense again will be sent to the West."

"I don't have much patience right now, so... you'd better call Sang Xuanqing out."

Brother Sang's heart skipped a beat, he was scared that the other party had a large number of people, but it was about Brother Qing, so he bit the bullet and asked: "Brother, he's not here. If you have anything, you can tell me. I'm his eldest brother."

Listening to the Mandarin spoken by the other party, Brother Sang did not use the local dialect and answered in poor Mandarin.

Translated into vernacular, this saying means that no matter whether it is hatred or resentment, you can retaliate against him, but he has to support his younger brother.

The other party raised his lips sarcastically: "Tell you what? You have to pay for what he owes me?"

Is this person Qing Geer’s creditor?!

Brother Sang: "No matter how much money I owe, I..."

"Tsk~ Money?" The man's eyelids creased several times, his dark eyes sank, and his patience had obviously reached its limit: "Where are they?"

This irritated and low voice shocked Brother Sang and took a few steps back lamely.

Sang Yaomei tightly grasped the corner of his clothes, and he covered her mouth to keep quiet.

"She, she's really not here."

At this time, after the man's entourage searched the thatched house, he came out and reported: "Sima, no one is here, and nothing was found."

"Sang Xuanqing, you are very good, you dare to betray me."

The man grinned, nodded and smiled angrily.

"You should be lucky that Mr. Qing doesn't kill innocent people outside the battlefield, but Sang Xuanqing must pay the price for his betrayal."

He stood up, his majestic figure full of blood, flicked his cold white wrist, and a black marble arced and fell on the thatched roof.

"Tell him, whatever I want, even if the King of Hell comes, it will still belong to me in the end."

The next second, there was a "Boom!" and the entire roof was engulfed in flames, with green smoke filling the air.

Brother Sang picked up Sang Yaomei, who had big, dumbfounded eyes. He felt cold all over and his face was pale.

Staring straight at the other person's broad and slender back, the cold sunshine in late autumn and the bitter wind in the late autumn gradually faded away.

——

Three days after the incident, Zheng Quchi heard that his home had been burned down.

It was his brother who gave up the food and asked Brother Yang from the next door neighbor to come to the camp to check on her condition and report the news to her, but did not go into details.

Her first reaction was that the Mo family knew she had betrayed.

But when I thought about it again, I felt something was wrong. Then why did they burn her house down to vent their anger? To give a warning?

No, just ask Shan Bian to kill her secretly, why bother?

Now that the camp project was coming to an end, she was anxious and had no choice but to get away. She could only wait for General Yuwen to complete the final acceptance, so that she could get her salary and go home.

Facts have proved that there is indeed something wrong with the drawing drawn by the Taiyuan craftsman.

After confirming that Sang Xuanqing's modified drawings had successfully built an extremely solid observation tower, Yu Wensheng raised his hand and sent away the craftsman who deliberately delayed the project.

Two days later, the camp was completed on time. On this day, the county master and the people from the government also came to celebrate. The engineer took out the red silk cloth prepared in advance and hung it on the gate of the camp. The craftsmen lined up on both sides, nervously waiting for the arrival of General Yuwen.

However, Yu Wensheng did not come, and only sent adjutant Wang Zebang and the 5,000 troops who were about to move in.

After a round of inspections, Wang Zebang, who wanted to find fault with Sang Xuanqing, returned disappointed. He glared at Sang Xuanqing fiercely and announced that the inspection had passed.

At this time, the work officer and all the craftsmen could not help but burst into tears.

This was really an escape from the tiger's mouth, and my life was saved.

I recall that at the beginning, the construction of the camp was hit by obstacles and difficulties, but the successful conclusion was all thanks to Sang Xuanqing.

I don't know where the work officer heard that her house had been burned down, so when he was settling the wages for the craftsmen, he dug into his own pocket and secretly gave her a raise.

When Zheng Quchi saw his salary, which was obviously higher than others, tears filled his eyes.

The work officer's name is Muke. He has a rugged appearance, with big fat and thick teeth, and buck teeth... but he is a nice person.

In the afternoon, the government dismissed the craftsmen and laborers summoned to return to their hometowns. They once again got on the carts they had come on and were sent back staggeringly.

With money in his pocket, Zheng Quchi wanted to return to his hometown as soon as possible.

I don’t know what happened to Boss Sang and Yaomei Sang.

In the car, Shan Bian, who had been deliberately keeping a distance from her, saw that she had been fine for the past few days, so he came over again.

He whispered in a low voice: "Didn't you say that as long as you jump high enough, Yu Wensheng will notice the short ones among the tall ones? Why do I feel that this plan is not effective?"

Zheng Quchi: "What's the hurry? We're all in the same county. How can he escape?"

"I'm not in a hurry, but the boss is."

He handed her a piece of paper mischievously and asked her to read it.

Get Jiulong quickly in case something happens.

Zheng Quchi looked numb.

Just be careful, the situation is already heading in an unpredictable direction, and even the nine-headed horse can't pull it back.

"What exactly is in that box?"

Shan Bian's eyes shifted and he laughed: "I didn't know, we are just hands, how can we know about the brain."

"Then why don't you approach Yuwen Sheng and steal Jiulong?"

Each of them had a bag of Mongolian and Chinese medicine. Whoever had a chance to be alone with Yu Wensheng would throw powder to stun him and steal the Jiulong organ box.

Shan Bian felt even more guilty now: "Didn't we agree from the beginning that you would be responsible for stealing, and I would be responsible for cleaning up and taking away the machine box?"

Zheng Quchi: "..." You are arrogant and humble. You work for the organization and only sell her life!

She confirmed again that this plastic partner was unreliable.

"We're here. I'll go home and repair the house first. If anything happens, I'll contact you later."

When she saw the stone bridge in Hegou Village, she decisively jumped off the cart, said goodbye to the other enthusiastic craftsmen on the way, and without looking back, she picked up her suitcase and returned to the village.

Although the Sang family is poor and broken, at least with this family, she is no longer alone and can have a family to return to.

Brother Sang and Yaomei Sang were full of hope when they saw her safe return, and their feet became faster.

But as soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I heard the sound of children laughing and singing in front of me.

"Little beggar, he eats water, lives in a pigsty, has no house, no father, no mother, hahaha..."

She frowned, feeling that the lyrics were simply unpalatable, and she wondered whose child was so mean.

When she got closer, she saw her sister-in-law, trembling like a cub, lying on the ground. Her hair was pulled by several older children, and her eyes were slapped with shavings. The pain made her cry and scream, but they clapped their hands and laughed miserably.
