The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

Does it say no clothes? With the same robe.

Ten thousand people took up bows and shot at the same time, and every shot hit the target.

Lu Shi was impressed by the unity and trust of the villagers in Changping Village. No wonder the original owner's first wish was to repay the villagers and hope that they could live a better life.

"It's no problem Aunt Lin. Just give it to me first and I'll register it for you."

As she watched her name being written stroke by stroke on the piece of paper filled with words, Aunt Lin couldn't hide her happiness.

After this initial move, the villagers at the end of the line felt more at ease, and one after another stepped forward to register. The people behind them generally didn't pay much, most only three or four hundred coins, but it was a token of their appreciation.

The fundraising was successfully completed. Lu Shi added up all his savings and found a total of two hundred and twenty-six taels and more than three hundred coins.

"Xiao Lu, how much do we need? Can you handle it? Or should I go and borrow some?" The village chief was a little anxious. Now that the plan had come this far, it couldn't fail.

"It's okay, Village Chief. I'll take care of the rest. Tomorrow, have someone go with me to town to complete the relevant procedures."

He slept until night, and when he woke up, Qi Jin looked at the dark sky with a confused look in his eyes.

He had only leaned on that person's back for a moment, and it was already dark? Things were beyond his imagination. He hadn't slept so soundly since the poison had been applied to his body. There was no intrigue or deception in his dreams, only the close family chatting and talking.

Although there were two alien creatures, the monkey and the piece of wood, in his dream, he did feel an incomparable sense of relief.

He thought of the pills left in his sleeve and felt that they were not simple at that time. He could feel the burden on his body dissipating just by smelling them. He was afraid that this time it was also related to them.

"Gurgle, gurgle~", Qi Jin's thoughts were interrupted. He had slept through lunch and dinner today and was now extremely hungry.

Do it yourself and have enough food and clothing. Anyway, you can't rely on Qi Qi's poor cooking skills.

Qi Qi: Thank you (?_?).

Qi Jin asked Qi Qi to light the fire and then drove him out to avoid any chance of making a fool of himself in front of others. After all, it was his first time in the kitchen.

I should add water when cooking noodles, Qi Jin thought uncertainly, turned around, picked up a bucket of water and poured it directly into the boiling oil pan.

"Sizzle!" The chemical reaction between hot oil and cold water caught Qi Jin off guard.

"Hiss!" Even though he reacted quickly, sporadic red spots still appeared on the back of his hand.

"What are you doing?"

Qi Jin was still a little frightened when he heard another sound coming from behind him. He was so scared that he threw the ladle in his hand far away.

What Lu Shi saw when he returned home was Qi Jin jumping up and down. He walked to the pot and saw the vermicelli noodles placed beside it, then he realized what was going on and felt relieved.

Fortunately, he came back early, otherwise the original owner's small kitchen might not be strong enough.

Lu Shi slowly rolled up his wide sleeves, revealing his fair wrists, and said helplessly to the person standing stupidly beside him, "At least stand aside, I'll help you cook."

Qi Jin took a step aside in a daze.

Alas, Lu Shi closed his eyes helplessly. This man became even more stupid after sleeping.

Qi Jin gently covered the back of his hand with the red spots from the burn with his sleeve. He was a little numb now. It seemed that Lu Shi was there for all his embarrassing moments.

The first time he was unconscious and was carried in by Qi Qi; the second time he went up the mountain and got injured on the face and sprained his foot; and this time when he got burned while cooking noodles and was so scared that he threw the ladle away.

He felt that the image of a capable, humble and worthy leader that he wanted to establish in front of Lu Shi was completely shattered.

But soon he had no time to feel sad. The rich fragrance gradually filled the air. Qi Jin couldn't help but twitch his nose, and his stomach protested again.

"Go get a bowl."

Qi Jin was so excited that he started moving as soon as he finished speaking. He couldn't wait any longer.

"Wash the dishes after eating."

"Hmm..." Qi Jin slurred his words as he slurped the noodles. He finally stopped moving when Lu Shi returned to the room. He looked at the poached egg on his face, feeling a strange bitterness in his heart.

If possible, I really want to stay here for a while longer.

A dark shadow fell in front of Qi Jin.

"Master, the guards have arrived and are waiting for your orders in the back mountain."

"Let Qi Er come first to help me deliver a letter to the capital. Qi Yi can come again tomorrow. As for the others, find a place to stay first."

Someone must be present in the capital to stabilize the situation, and Qi Er is alert and flexible, making him the perfect person.

After Qi Jin finished the last bite of noodles, he looked at Qi Qi and said, "Don't worry about anything else. Wash the bowl first."

He returned to the room and sat at the table, his hand stroking the edge of the paper but not moving for a long time.

After a long time, he picked up the pen.

"It's been a while since we last met, I hope your Majesty is well.

A few days ago, I encountered an unexpected accident, but fortunately, I was able to escape danger with the help of a noble person. I am now safe and sound, and in good health. Thank you for your concern, so I am writing to let you know that I am safe.

……

I have been tied up recently and I am sorry that I cannot return home in time. Also, the recent days represent a prodigy, a talent with the aptitude to be the top scholar. If you can serve the country, you will surely achieve great things.

……

Although this letter is short, it cannot fully express the feelings in my heart. I only wish my father good health and a long life.

After signing the letter, Qi Jin sealed it carefully and asked Qi Er to deliver it.

Qi Er had just told him about the situation in the capital. Because of his disappearance, some officials in the court had fallen, and the fighting between the various parties was severe. His royal brother might have gained a lot of benefits from it.

Qi Yi is a very honest man, as evidenced by the fact that he stood at the gate early in the morning, like a door god.

Qi Yi couldn't understand the disgust in the monkey's eyes. He only knew that his master asked him to come today. He thought he was very smart because he was lazy and came only at the hour of Mao instead of the hour of Zi?(???)┐.

Therefore, it was the right choice for Qi Jin to let the "smart" Qi Yi stay here. If he was in the capital, he would have been fooled many times.

By the time of Xu, everyone had woken up, but Qi Yi acted as if no one was around. He picked dates from the trees in the yard and stuffed them into his mouth, as if he had been hungry for several days.

Qi Jin held his forehead and said that the master should take responsibility for the mistakes of his subordinates.

"This is Qi Yi, he came to see me."

Lu Shi was silent. One more person would not have much impact on him, but he couldn't let anyone get too far.

"Remember to pay, and..."

"To help with the work."

Hearing this, Qi Qi had something to say. He didn't know what kind of work he had to do all day long, but he never rested! The water in the jar was filled, the firewood in the kitchen was piled high, the floor in the house was swept, and he picked up the fallen dates in the yard and put them in the basket every day. He even washed the bowls for meals.

Gradually, he was no longer sad about the pot of porridge that no one appreciated, because because of that pot of porridge, he was lucky enough to avoid the task of cooking.

Now that his boss is here, he still needs his boss to do some work! Is there really so much work?

damned!

But...will he be able to relax a little more in the future?
