The rain in Miancheng lasted for more than half a month. The rain was big or small, but it didn't stop for a moment.
Muqiqi was arranged to live in a corner of the back garden of the general's house. According to local customs, the status of a woman was not high, so it was impossible for her to live in the upper room of the master's house.
Even if Mu Qiqi is the wife of the Prime Minister of Jinling, Xi Mian will not treat her as a guest of honor in today's relationship between the two countries. In the eyes of the local people, she has been given extra "care" to stay in the general's residence.
After all, the "general's house" in the hearts of the people of Ximian seems to exist as a miracle.
The hut is not big. The wooden structure is the unique style of local architecture. The thatched roof is used to shelter from the rain and the sun.
It is said that this used to be the flower house that Mrs. buchar loved and took good care of. After her death, it gradually deserted, leaving only flowerpots with withered grass.
I have nothing to do. From the gardener, Muqiqi wants to come some flower seeds. Ten days later, the flowerpots that used to wither and regenerate have sprouted, and some flowerpots that are growing fast have blossomed.
At lunchtime, a soldier came to the greenhouse.
Xiaobing went straight into the greenhouse without saying a word. He opened the food box and spread out the food on the table. There were two dishes and one soup. The main food was rice. In the poor area, it was already a great treat.
Muqiqi stands outside the building, holding a gourd, and then the rain dripping from the roof of the shed, and the rain watering the flowers, which she has been doing these days.
Seeing that Xiaobing came out after delivering the meal, Muqiqi said "thank you" to him with a smile as usual.
Little soldier slightly side Mou, is full of disdain ground appearance, hum a then walk.
Now, who doesn't know that Muqiqi is the granddaughter of the devil who washed the crown city with blood?
Such people, even if they are smiling, even if they are gentle and kind, in their eyes, all these are just the appearance of this woman's charm, so they will not be deceived by this woman from Jinling.
Not long after the soldier left, his footsteps were still ringing in his ears.
On the other side, steady and rapid footsteps from far to near, Mu Qi looked up, Gu Chenyu came back, two hands back, behind seems to be hiding something.
When ouyangping left, all the people in Jinling were asked to leave. Gu Chenyu stepped forward and strongly recommended herself to stay at the risk of offending buchar. Buchar naturally would not agree.
But the reason for Gu Chenyu to stay is that he said he was the translator of the premier's wife, which is irrefutable. In the end, buchar agreed to let him stay.
Language barrier in the country, Gu Chenyu's existence really let Mu Qiqi a lot of peace of mind.
"Back?" Muqi asked with a smile.
Gu Chenyu nodded, then asked, "those people have come to send rancid food?"
Ximian's national conditions are difficult. Most of the people have one meal a day. When they arrive at the general's residence, they are a little better. They still have two meals a day. However, the soldiers in the kitchens always have a bad heart. The food they usually bring is either soup or sour staple food.
After more than half a month, Muqiqi has lost a lot of weight.
Muqiqi sprinkled the rain on the soil and said, "go and have a look. Choose what you can eat and leave. The rotten ones will be buried in the soil and used as fertilizer."
Her indifferent tone seemed not to mind being treated slowly.
These days, no matter what Muqiqi said, the man always followed orders. Today, however, he stood still like a wooden man.
"Go Mu seven seven called a, Gu Chen Yu was originally military origin, blood is just, she thought he was angry.
"Mrs. Jin, let's have something else today."
"Anything else?" Muqiqi laughs, "what fruit have you picked?"
During the day, Gu Chenyu would go missing from time to time. When she came back, she would always have more food in her hand. She didn't know where he got these things, just like magic.
The man who always shows indifference, the thin lips of ice moistened even slightly hook up, and then the hand hidden behind slowly came over, Muqiqi saw that he was carrying a hare, no wonder he had to hide behind, it was to give her a surprise.
I haven't eaten meat for half a month. Muqiqi's eyes are shining and he looks at the fluffy rabbit. Unconsciously, he purses his lips and swallows a mouthful of saliva.
"This is a hare. It's skinned, dissected, salted and roasted. It's very fragrant." Gu Chen Yu stares at the prey in the hand, is also a pair of complacent facial expression.
Having said that, he would take action, draw out the saber in his trousers and go to the back room to kill.
Unfortunately, at this time, the rabbit who thought he was out of breath suddenly moved, and then struggled to death.
Gu Chen Yu raises palm, want a palm to split, Mu Qi Qi pressed his arm in a hurry, advised a, "forget it!"
Thinking that such a lovely rabbit would be killed, she felt a little cruel.
Once, when she was in France, she raised a white short eared rabbit with the eighth master. It was a white meat ball. It was stupid and cute. Maybe the love at that time was left behind. She always thought that rabbits were pets and shouldn't be eaten.
"But..." Gu Chenyu's eyebrows wring, even if he is a special forces, wild foraging skills is one of the special training, but in the West crown, can eat most of the people search, want to find such a rabbit, he is a great effort.
But you haven't eaten much for two days, but he hasn't finished. Muqiqi grabs the rabbit in his hand, holds it in his arms and caresses it gently.
Rabbit seems to know that she is a life-saving benefactor, even did not struggle, motionless prone, very clever.
"It's also a life. Keep it. I don't know how long I'm going to stay here. Keeping it can relieve the boredom." Muqiqi's bitter smile.
Then she went to the eaves and sat down on the wooden steps. Her long legs stretched forward, wearing a pair of small feet of local bamboo, she was drenched in the rain.
Gu Chenyu looks at Mu Qiqi's back, only to see that she is pedaling her feet, playing with the rain, innocent and carefree.
It's hard to imagine that such a girl, who seems innocent, polite and even reluctant to kill a rabbit, would not hesitate to take herself as a hostage in this wolf's den not long ago.
"In fact, you know that it's easy to stay, but it's hard to go back. Why do you do that?" Gu Chenyu asked her.
"My luck is not bad all the time. We will go back soon. I have to go back to celebrate my birthday to the eighth master!" Muqiqi smile, actually also know that this is just self comfort.
Gu Chen Yu deeply breathed a breath, what didn't say, introverted as he, has never been the person who pokes a person's pain.
Muqiqi continued: "think about it. On the day we came to Ximian, the captain said that the weather here was not suitable for landing. What do you think of it? It rained hard and then stopped! Is my luck super good? "
Said, she looked back, looked at the man standing behind her, face as always with her sweet smile.
Gu Chenyu thoughtfully avoided her eyes, hung his head, a pair of don't want to expose her appearance.
"What's the matter? Am I right? " Mu Qi Qi eye essence, soon see through.
Gu Chenyu twisted her eyebrows and looked up at her after thinking for a long time. She said, "Madam prime minister, it's artificial rain stopping."
"Ah? Artificial rain stop? " Mu Qi frowned. She had heard of artificial rainfall. How could there be such a saying about artificial rainfall?
Gu Chenyu's professional tone explained: "the principle of artificial rain stopping is similar to artificial rainfall, but it is more difficult to control in difficulty, and the cost is huge. Although the rain stopped for only half an hour that day, I'm afraid the cost is tens of millions."
"Xi Mian won't spend the money for us, will he?" Mu Qiqi asked, "is it Jinling?"
Gu Chenyu continued to analyze and said: "now in China, with this technology, independent launch pad, and can make emergency response in the first time, I can think of only one."
Mu Qiqi looks at him expectantly, waiting for the answer.
"The ordnance industry group." Finally, Gu Chenyu said the answer.
"Aunt Xin?" Muqi was very surprised.
"Bai Suxin, the president of ordnance industry group, knows Mrs. Jin?" This is to make Gu Chenyu feel surprised.
This new president of the ordnance industry group rarely appeared in China. At the beginning of her appointment, she caused a turmoil at the top of the group, because no one thought that in the end, the old man of the Bai family would hand over the family property he had accumulated all his life to such an illegitimate daughter.
To Gu Chenyu's surprise, Mr. Bai and the premier's wife also had a long friendship. The words "aunt Xin" clearly revealed the intimate relationship between them.
"Not very familiar." Muqiyi interrupted the topic.
The political status of Bai family is quite special. No matter how close she is to Xinyi in private, on the surface, she still has to stick to her own political position to avoid being misunderstood.
