Midsummer at the end of July is the hottest time of the year. Even in the morning, the sun is scorching people's hearts. There is no shade on the embankment, making it even hotter.

Mingzhu was almost exhausted just by climbing up the embankment. If she wasn't so delicate, she couldn't do the work of digging soil and moving rocks!

Jiang Duo jumped into the channel, looked up at Mingzhu who was still standing on the embankment, stretched out his hand to her, and his voice was as cold as ever: "Come down."

Mingzhu squatted down, put one hand on Jiang Duo's hand, pressed the other hand on the ground, and carefully stepped on the potholes in the channel to get down.

She looked around and asked, "What should I do?"

Jiang Duo took off his military green shirt, wearing only a blue and white plaid vest.

Mingzhu was short, her head was right at his heart, and she looked at his strong chest muscles stretching the vest just right.

Even though she was a doctor and was used to seeing men's body structures, when facing Jiang Duo, who had just finished playing poker with her yesterday, a blush appeared on her pretty, pearly face.

Jiang Duo didn't notice her expression, casually folded his clothes and placed them on the stone, and said calmly: "Sit here, you don't have to do anything."

Mingzhu: "Huh?"

"I'll do your job." When he spoke, everyone around him heard it.

A few rough men immediately started joking -

"Captain Jiang, it's okay. This unmarried wife is in pain!"

"Captain Jiang, are you making such a fuss? Women can't be so spoiled."

"That is, there is no woman in Xiaojing Village who works with a man but does not work."

"Captain Jiang is so big, don't you be afraid of your wife? That would be embarrassing for a man!"

"..."

Qiao Bin on the side felt a little unhappy as he listened to his boss being teased and teased by these people.

In the final analysis, it’s all because of this pearl with a bad reputation!

However, his boss is a man of few words. He doesn't argue when he is teased. He just picks up a shovel and immerses himself in work.

He was about to say a few words of help, but Mingzhu beat him to it——

I saw the little woman looking at the older men with a smile, "Uncles and older men are right, the women in our village are probably blind, and all the men they find are useless. They work with them every day, and they have to be beaten when they go home. , compared with your wives, I am indeed blessed!"

This group of "incompetent" men were scolded so sarcastically. I don't know whether it was due to Mingzhu's bad reputation or because he was not as knowledgeable as women. Anyway, they all stopped talking with straight faces and went to work.

Qiao Bingao glanced at Mingzhu, maybe... a shrewd woman also has the advantage of being shrewd and not bullied.

Feeling his gaze, Mingzhu smiled and waved to him, "Hello, Captain Qiao."

After being caught peeking at the bag, Qiao Bin awkwardly shifted his gaze, said "Hello", and hurried away to work.

Mingzhu sat in the channel with little ventilation, and soon became wet with sweat. There was no air conditioning or cool breeze. Well, I really wanted to eat a popsicle!

She unscrewed the round military water bottle and took a few sips. She saw that her man's vest was soaked through, and there was a layer of sweat on his wheat-colored skin...

Seeing that everyone else works for a while and takes a break, Jiang Duo has been doing it all at once.

Mingzhu immediately stood up and walked over, and handed him her kettle diligently——

"Jiang Duo, stop for a moment and drink some water."

Jiang Duo stopped and turned to look at her flushed face, "You drink, I brought water, it's at Qiao Bin's place."

But Mingzhu heard the meaning of rejection. She simply forced the kettle into his hand and imitated the original owner's tone, somewhat domineeringly: "Just drink this! I'm not sick and I won't infect you."

Jiang Duo didn't mean it this way, but he didn't explain it in detail. He just picked up her pot and drank a few sips.

The Pearl Pot is filled with cold water, which is now a little warm due to the sun, but it does not affect the taste.

After Jiang Duo finished drinking, he felt... very comfortable, as if his whole body was filled with inexhaustible strength.

Mingzhu screwed on the lid of the kettle he handed back and said, "Everyone knows to take a rest. You should also take it easy. The work cannot be completed in one go."

"If you have to go out in the afternoon, do more work in the morning to make up for it."

Mingzhu thought that he had some responsibility for his hard work, and she couldn't help but feel guilty and said: "I'm sorry, I have caused trouble for you."

Jiang Duo frowned and looked at her. Sometimes her politeness made people feel...not like a little village girl who had never seen the world.

As he was thinking about it, he noticed from the corner of his eye that someone had a sprained foot above the channel. That person was holding an oval stone thicker than his waist!

The stone fell down the channel and hit the pearl——

Mingzhu only heard an 'ouch' sound coming from the top of her head behind her, and she subconsciously wanted to turn her head. The next moment, her waist tightened, and Jiang Duo's strong arms hugged her, lifting her up and directly into his arms!

Jiang Duo suddenly took a step back to avoid it, and the stone fell to the ground in front of the two of them, stirring up a large amount of dust!

Before Mingzhu could realize what happened, she choked on something.

After seeing the big rock in front of her clearly, her eyes widened suddenly... If Jiang Duo hadn't reacted quickly and had great strength, he could have carried her away like a little chicken with one hand, otherwise she would have died after being hit!

Jiang Duo looked at her sideways, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes that he didn't even notice, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay...fortunately you are here."

Mingzhu said, her little hands did not forget to pull the man's chest, trying to stand firm.

Only then did Jiang Duo realize that he was still holding the limp little girl.

This will spread and affect her reputation.

He quickly released his hand and took a step away.

Qiao Bin heard the noise and ran over and said anxiously: "Boss, are you okay?"

"fine."

The two people who were almost hit were calm and indifferent, but Qiao Bin was a little annoyed. He looked up at the people on the channel and said displeasedly: "You all, be careful. If such a big stone falls, people can still survive if it hits them." ?"

Mingzhu raised her eyes and noticed at a glance that among the people standing on the channel was Ming Dayou's nephew Mingzhe.

Mingzhe grinned in apology, but there was a hint of pride in his tone: "Oh, sister Mingzhu, I'm sorry! My brother's hand slipped. Look, I fell and was injured. You won't blame me, right?"

This guy obviously did it on purpose. If it was the original owner, he would have jumped out of the channel and fought Mingzhe to the death!

But Mingzhu is not the original owner. On such a hot day, it is very laborious to climb up the channel to have fun. She is lazy.

This account will be calculated twice later.

"Brother Mingzhe said he didn't do it on purpose, so why should I blame you? It's just... if it wasn't intentional once, it won't be justified if it happens a second time."

She raised her lips, and her sweet-looking face was obviously smiling, but that smile made Mingzhe standing high up feel his heart tighten for no reason.

His mission today is to cause an accident and make Mingzhu bleed. It is best to smash her into a fool!

It was an accident anyway, and no one could do anything to him.

Even if she didn't succeed, she still had to let Mingzhu behave in front of Jiang Duo and make Jiang Duo hate her as a shrew.

But...why didn't she follow her usual routine?

They say that when things go wrong, there must be a monster. There is something wrong with this pearl——
