Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty Nine: But the Immortal
"Yes, I feel so too."
Ying Zheng felt his shoulders being held by him, his hands tightened unconsciously, and a slight smile on his face.
Suddenly, I felt something pressing against my waist. I looked down and saw Gu Nan put Wu Ge between the two of them.
He smiled awkwardly, and a little helplessness appeared in his eyes, and he let go of Gu Nan's shoulders. A strand of black hair drooped from his back and stroked through his fingers, making his hand pause.
The old man looked at the two of them and smiled and shook his head: "Have you quarreled?"
After saying that, he said to Ying Zheng, "I said you are also a man. I don't know how to make a fuss in my wife like a fairy. How can I make a fuss?"
"Hehe, yes, it's my fault." Ying Zheng put down his hand, grabbed his hair and smiled.
I looked at the person beside me, looked at the eyebrows, eyes, lips and teeth, and suddenly thought.
Maybe, she really fell into the worldly exiled immortal...
Gu Nan sat there with a dark face, but did not notice Ying Zheng's gaze.
"Okay, let's eat something. I guess you're very tired when you move in."
As the old man said, he took a steamed cake and put it in his mouth and started eating it. He had been working in the field for a long time and was a little hungry.
"Well, thank you, Mr.
Ying Zheng picked up the steamed cake and took a bite. Gu Nan also sighed and thanked him for taking one.
The steamed cake is steamed soft and slightly sweet in the mouth, which is quite delicious.
The fields are filled with a little cool breeze, which makes the summer not too hot. Looking at the fields, the shallow green onions are slightly hanging, and farmers wearing short shirts are watering the fields.
There were still a few children in the corner holding frogs or playing with mud. When they ran over the field, they would always run into one or two seedlings. They would inevitably be scolded by the people watching the field, and then ran away with laughter.
Sitting under the straw shed and eating steamed cakes, I felt my mouth was dry, so I took a sip of cold water, and a cool feeling penetrated my stomach, which was very comfortable.
"Hey, that little kid over there, don't pull out the seedlings from that field!"
The old man called out a child who curiously brought the seedlings in the nearby fields, sat down again, and shook his head at Ying Zheng and Gu Nan.
"Hey, this little kid is becoming less and less rude now." As he said that, he drank the water from his bowl in one sip. It was a dry mouth: "A young kid of such an old man is still plucking seedlings. I can go to the fields and cultivate the land when I fight him like this."
As he said that, he picked up the kettle and poured himself a bowl of water: "We were hungry all day long, so we didn't dare to make things in the field, and we were not caught and beaten to death."
"Look at the present." He said, looking at the little kid in the field: "Just play in the field all day long."
In the early years, young and middle-aged people were fighting outside the war, and children and the elderly had to go to work. Now, in addition to serving a few months of corvee and military service every year, men were at home on weekdays, so naturally they would not have children and elderly people to work.
Ying Zheng sat beside the old man and listened to the old man's complaints, but was not annoyed. Instead, he listened with interest, and interjected a few words from time to time, and the two talked very enthusiastically.
Gu Nan sat quietly aside, watching the tender green crops in the fields in the distance fluctuate in the summer breeze with the warm sunshine, but the scenery in the countryside made people feel quiet. Occasionally, a few calls from farmers and laughter from children came.
While holding the unmarked position, she looked at the path around with caution. If there was any abnormal movement, she would take action as soon as possible.
"Old man, how has the harvest been here in the past few years?" Ying Zheng asked, looking at the seedlings in the field.
"Hu." The old man said this and smiled a little on his face: "I didn't say that, just ask about the nearby land. It should be the best harvest in recent years."
"The officials above are so good, each of them has land." The old man sighed and the wrinkles on his face stretched out.
"In addition, it has been quite good years, and every household now has some surplus food. Some can be exchanged for some copper plates and buy some things on the street."
"This day is much better, hey, it's a lot better." The old man put the last corner of the steamed cake into his mouth and ate it.
"How to say that, compared to when I was young, the days now should be human beings."
It seemed like I was thinking about the past and said deeply: "I really dare not make people think about living, and living day by day or day."
After saying that, the old man looked down at his hand: "It would be great if the old woman was still alive, and she could enjoy a few years of happiness."
"Who knows, when I came back from the war, I said I had led the ground, but when I got home, I saw a grave......"
There was no more talk under the straw hut. Ying Zheng was silent for a moment, and he didn't know what to say.
The old man waved his hand and laughed: "Hey, don't think much, it's the old man that makes it difficult for you to deal with yourself. But to be honest, you two are still young and live a good life. This is a rare time."
"Well, we know." Ying Zheng said seriously.
Gu Nan, who was beside him, could only respond with a gritty bullet: "Well, thank you, my uncle."
After eating the steamed cakes, the two left.
On the small path in the fields, short grass was mixed with the roads, and Gu Nan followed Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng looked at Tianjiao in the distance and asked with a smile: "Sir, won't you blame me for what happened just now, right?"
Gu Nan, who was following behind, lowered his shoulders helplessly.
"Your Majesty, it's better to make less jokes in the future."
"Hahaha, but sir, don't you really consider starting a family?" Ying Zheng turned around and asked.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty knows what I do, it's better not to ruin the girl's life." Gu Nan smiled bitterly.
Ying Zheng, who was walking in front, choked and coughed, "Who asked you to go to find the girl?"
Looking behind him, Gu Nan had already taken out his mask and stood on his face again. A bitter look flashed in Ying Zheng's gaze.
Turn around and continue looking forward.
Suddenly he seemed to think of something and said with a smile.
"Sir, I want to patrol the country's central and local areas, understand the people's sentiments, use a three-dimensional system, and get good people's livelihood. Visit the mountains and rivers in various places, seal the altars and sacrifices, and seek the mountains and rivers along the years. I will preach the laws of Qin, promote the power and virtue, and inspect the military and government affairs in various places. What do you think?"
Gu Nan was stunned: "On a tour?"
"Yes, I want to patrol the State of Qi."
Qin destroyed Qi without bloodshed, and the human and material resources of Qi were preserved. Qi was surrounded by mountains and seas, with prosperous business and developed economy. It was originally a powerful country. It was not only the base for the Qin people to recruit food and taxes, but also the material basis for the Qin Dynasty to shake the rule of the Qin Dynasty. Qi was the last country among the six countries to be destroyed, and the Qin regime's rule by Qi was thus much more rough and weak.
