Chapter 5

The girl lowered her head, her hot breath pressed against his skin, as if it had burned him.

Shen Jingyuan bit off the thread: "Okay, it looks much more comfortable this way."

Li Shang quickly retracted his legs: "Thank you."

Shen Jingyuan looked at the sky: "It's getting dark, let's rest here tonight."

Li Shang nodded, and leaned close to the fire to roast his back: "When I fulfill my master's last wish, I can help you complete the reward order, and the money belongs to you."

Shen Jingyuan smiled, with two dimples on her cheeks: "Conscience found out? Why don't you want my money?"

Li Shang lowered his head and touched the patch on his leg: "I don't like to owe people anything, so I just help you complete a reward order. It's easy for me to find a lost dog and catch a rat at home. It’s just a reward of money, and it’s just as repaying your kindness for sewing for me today.”

That's it?

Shen Jingyuan propped her chin and looked at Li Shang with a smile: "But you almost beat me up for the nine copper coins back then."

"That's different."

The nature is not bad, Shen Jingyuan suddenly recalled the fact that the dead old master knew that he stole the angelica and did not reprimand him, but was extremely pleased.

"You paid back the love for the master, and then what? What are you going to do?"

Li Shang felt that the clothes behind him were almost dry, and turned back to lean against the wall: "The master said that I am born smart, and I am a good material for studying." He looked at Shen Jingyuan, "I can also make a reward order, I have saved enough If I don’t have enough money, I will go to a school to study, whether it is ten years or twenty years, I will definitely get a good reputation!"

"You want to be an officer?"

"Of course!" The young man's eyes were firm, and there was an irresistible lust for power in his eyes.

"Why do you want to be an official?"

Li Shang said with a smile: "In this world, money doesn't mean anything, but power is. If I become an official, I won't be bullied by others. When others are afraid of me, they will respect me."

Shen Jingyuan didn't speak, just looked at the young man quietly and continued: "I don't have the supreme morality, what bless the common people, protect the people, that's what the ministers and the emperor do, I just want to have power and money, to be able to protect I want to protect myself."

I just don't want to be stared at and bullied anymore.

Lai Qian took out a watermelon and gnawed it: "Yo, little boy, his ambition is quite high, but if he doesn't raise it well, his temper will be crooked with this kind of thinking."

Shen Jingyuan glanced at the dog-like money, "I'm here, so he won't be crooked."

Lai Qian snorted: "This watermelon is really sweet."

Shen Jingyuan, who had just finished eating the biscuits, clenched her fists: "Get lost."

"Okay." Lai Qian rolled twice in the void.

Shen Jingyuan really didn't want to deal with it, and leaned on the hay laid by Li Shang and said to Li Shang: "The idea is very good, I support you."

Li Shang was taken aback, he didn't expect Shen Jingyuan to say that.

"But I hope you won't be a bad official, because bad officials have always died since ancient times."

"Death? I have nothing to worry about, so why should I be afraid of death? I just want to live happily." Li Shang laughed.

Shen Jingyuan looked at Li Shang with a smile: "But you are the first friend I've met so far, and I don't want you to end up ugly because of going astray."

friend?

Li Shang looked at Shen Jingyuan, her petite body changed from leaning to lying down, she seemed a little sleepy, she didn't speak anymore, and soon after, Li Shang heard the sound of shallow breathing.

"Friend." Li Shang pondered the word over and over again, and he laughed out loud, "Who would want to be my friend."

On the second day, the rain was still falling and did not stop until after noon.

Shen Jingyuan and Li Shang waited until the evening to see that the heavy rain did not stop and had to wait another night.

Unexpectedly, the third day still did not stop.

Shen Jingyuan supported the broken temple door and looked at the sky, frowning: "How many times has it rained since I came here?"

Lai Qian crossed his legs and thought: "Three, four, five or six games."

"If this continues, there is a high possibility of flooding."

Qian immediately sat up straight: "Even if there is a flood, you can't intervene, don't try to use divine power."

Shen Jingyuan rolled her eyes speechlessly: "I'm just sighing, this Great Cloud Dynasty is really full of disasters and disasters. It's hard for the previous dynasty to be stable, and the sky is not fulfilling people's wishes."

Lai Qian softened his body again, crossed his legs and said, "Where are we going, it's early."

Shen Jingyuan raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "What do you mean?"

"The Japanese slaves will still invade the border, and there will be wars in two or three years." Lai Qian said: "Don't worry, Zhao Ling and Yunmin will take care of it, it has nothing to do with you, you just treat it well Your dementia will do."

"..." Shen Jingyuan came to her senses: "I still have to pretend to be stupid when I go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Laiqian licked melon seeds and recalled: "In the original plot, Zhao Jinjin was wandering around. Once she was sick and was rescued by a white-haired Taoist priest. He gave her a bottle of elixir, saying that after eating it, it would relieve the poison in her body from the mother's womb. , So when Zhao Jinjin went back, his sanity had improved by seven or eight points, and you don’t have to pretend to be a fool if you go back to the Prime Minister’s Mansion, but you must die at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month next year, otherwise Zhao Ling won’t be able to wear it, and the interface will be messed up.”

It is precisely because of Zhao Ling's company and help that Yunmin became a wise king. Zhao Ling is a well-known female entrepreneur in modern times, and her mind and IQ are top-notch. The treasury of the Yun Dynasty is empty, how could it be possible to support the battle with the Japanese slaves for a full ten years.

"Grumbling."

Shen Jingyuan turned her head and looked at the iron pot on the fire, in which were cooking the small green vegetables she picked nearby and the torn noodles, thick and hot, boiling in the pot.

"Li Shang, it's time to eat." She went in and called.

The boy was sorting out his angelicas, carefully wrapping them in a cloth bag piece by piece, and then putting them into the bag.

The iron pot was found in the ruined temple, washed with rainwater, and there was a chipped bowl.

Shen Jingyuan scooped out the vegetable batter with a wooden spoon made by Li Shanggang. She didn't have much appetite for snacks, so she naturally ate first.

After Shen Jingyuan drank the vegetable-flavored batter, she finally felt a different taste in her mouth. After eating dry biscuits for so many days, she really felt like a piece of dry biscuit.

Seeing that she was full, Li Shang took the bowl in Shen Jingyuan's hand and scooped up the second bowl of vegetable batter and ate it.

After eating the batter, it tasted better than dry pancakes.

After eating their fill, the two decided to wait another night. They slept on the straw until dawn, but they were suddenly awakened by thunder.

"Boom—"

The thunder was deafening, and the whole world seemed to tremble.

"The rain has stopped." Li Shang stretched his head and looked out the window, "It's just thunder, do you want to go?"

Shen Jingyuan was so annoyed by the sound of thunder that she couldn't fall asleep and could only nod her head. The two of them had nothing to clean up. Seeing Li Shang carrying the burden on his back, they left the ruined temple together.

The heavy rain that had lasted for several days stopped, and the whole world was washed clean. There was vitality and coolness everywhere. The only bad thing was that the thunder in the sky never stopped.

The two passed by the village, climbed the top of the mountain and walked through the rice fields, and finally came to a small road, which was overgrown with weeds, and the grass was as tall as a waist. step.
