The villain helps me build infrastructure

It is a rare thing that two mortals from Yangcheng defected to Qingzhou.

After all, Qingzhou is notoriously poor in the Eastern Territory, and it is also notoriously lonely in the Eastern Territory.

Unexpectedly, in such a snowy day, there are still people coming to join them.

Even the cultivators guarding the city had an inexplicable sense of pride, asking questions around these two mortals.

"What's your name? Are you really from Yangcheng?"

The young man drank the dispelling cold soup, and he became more energetic. Although he was a little scared seeing so many monks, the excitement in his heart overwhelmed the fear: "My name is Jiang Er, and I am from Yangcheng."

The middle-aged man also hurriedly said: "My name is Cai Qi, we have walked for a long time to get here, this is Qingzhou City, right?"

The monk said: "Of course this is Qingzhou City."

Cai Qi still couldn't believe it. After all, the watchtower tens of meters high was too surprising. Yangcheng didn't even have one, but Qingzhou City, which was rumored to be countless times poorer than Yangcheng, had one?

Looking at the monks here, although they are not dressed as well as theirs, they are all full of energy in the winter, and they are even willing to ask and answer with them here. Isn't this too kind?

Another monk asked: "Why do you want to come to Qingzhou City?"

Seeing that the onlookers were all curious about the answer, Jiang Er said cautiously, "I met a monk from Qingzhou City before, and I heard from him that ordinary people in Qingzhou are living a very good life, so I want to join him."

The monks snorted.

The treatment of ordinary people in Qingzhou City is really good.

But their monks are not bad, but there is no need to tell others about this.

After a while, someone finally came from the City Lord's Mansion.

It was Wan Jie who came. As Xie Ang's big apprentice, after recognizing Qin Yue's true colors, Xie Ang learned from the pain, and still felt that it is necessary to cultivate honest children, so this matter was also left to Wan Jie.

Wan Jie came in a hurry, but the news he brought was carefully thought out by Su Qiuyan.

"The city lord said that since the two of them can come to Qingzhou City in such weather, they should stay temporarily. There is still a place to live, but there is no quota for their living supplies. As for whether they can stay in the end, it has to be decided. Watch what they do."

In fact, Qingzhou City is very short of people, but Su Qiuyan doesn't want everyone.

The fact that these two people were able to reach Qingzhou shows that they have good perseverance, good brains, and luck, so he is willing to keep these two people.

However, it is necessary to be cautious. Whether these two mortals wanted to come here, or Yangcheng sent them to inquire about them, it is not certain now, so Su Qiuyan sent these two people to the building where Lin Lu lived.

The first floor happened to be unoccupied, and the two of them lived in one room. They were usually watched by the monks and mortals in the building, so they shouldn't be able to cause big waves.

Today happened to be the day when Lin Lu went out to sweep the snow. He was shoveling the snow with a shovel when he saw a group of people coming from a distance.

"Didn't the monks of the patrol team pass by just now?" He curiously asked the people around him, "Why did someone come over again? Could something be wrong?"

The administrator took a closer look after hearing the words: "It seems that Wan Jie is bringing two mortals with him, but I have never seen those two mortals."

There are not many people in Qingzhou City, so I won’t talk about it in the past. Now they have moved to Qingyuan, and they can’t see those who look up. Most people can be familiar with each other, but these two mortals are really very strange.

Lin Lu, on the other hand, was stunned when he saw the person coming.

He grabbed the shovel in his hand, thinking that he must be dazzled, otherwise how could he see the people in Yangcheng!

But soon, the reactions of the two people on the opposite side told him that he did not recognize the wrong person, and that someone he knew really came!

Jiang Er also saw Lin Lu in the crowd at the first sight. He was still the same person, but he was dressed thickly and in good spirits, talking and laughing with the people around him. look.

Wan Jie didn't know that the three of them knew each other and was about to introduce them, but Jiang Er waved his hand and said, "Lin Lu, Lin Lu!"

He and Lin Lu had a pretty good relationship, and he swung his hand extraordinarily hard.

It turned out to be an acquaintance!Lin Lu threw the shovel in his hand, excited, happy and confused, stepped forward and said, "Why are you here?"

The administrator also stepped forward and asked Lin Ludao, "Is this someone you know?"

Lin Lu's tone was also rarely excited: "Yes, it was someone Yang Cheng knew."

Seeing this, Wan Jie said: "It's good that you know each other. The two of them came from Yangcheng today and wanted to defect to Qingzhou. After walking for a day, the city lord decided to keep them temporarily. They brought their own food. As for the firewood for heating And clothes and the like, the city lord's mansion will consider it as appropriate."

What materials to distribute, how many materials to distribute, and why to distribute these materials, there must be regulations, otherwise anyone who has nothing to eat will come to Qingzhou City, and the people in Qingzhou City will starve to death soon.

Jiang Er and his wife knew about this decision a long time ago, and they were not disappointed when they heard the words. They looked at the brand new and sturdy house in front of them, and saw the people sweeping snow outside in the cold weather. They just felt that they could do it without heating. live here.

The administrator had the key to the house on the first floor, so he directly opened the door on the right and brought the two inside.

Although Jiang Er had fantasized about the lives of mortals in Qingzhou City early in the morning, he never imagined that mortals lived with monks, and this house was much better built than Yangcheng.

Not to mention anything else, just the furniture placed here is not usable by ordinary people in Yangcheng, let alone the kang, toilet and kitchen inside.

Jiang Er swallowed: "Is this really for us?"

The administrator said: "Yes, you are staying here temporarily, do you have any other companions?"

Jiang Er shook his head: "Not anymore."

The administrator nodded: "The two of you have no firewood now, and the kang and the kitchen are unusable, but the latrine can be used. The snow is caught in a wooden bucket and turned into water to flush the latrine. As for drinking water, you can go to the well every morning and afternoon. fetch water."

He warned: "We have to sweep the snow twice a day. Since you are here, you have to abide by the rules. I will knock on the door every day to call you. If you are not feeling well or there is something wrong with the house, you can tell me. "

Jiang Er nodded again and again: "Okay! We must work hard."

The administrator waved his hand and said, "Then I'll go first, Lin Lu, you stay and chat with them."

As soon as he left, there were only three people who came out of Yangcheng left in the house.

Lin Lu was really curious as to why Jiang Er and his wife came to Qingzhou City.

Of course, Jiang Er recounted what happened before.

Lin Lu sighed: "It's good that you come to Qingzhou City, and I don't know how other people are doing now."

Yangcheng knew the news of the snow disaster so long in advance, but the preparations were so sloppy, so many mortal lives, I don't know if it can be saved.

Lin Lu also felt embarrassed when he said it.

But these are beyond their control, Lin Lu said again: "You have no quilts, no clothes, no firewood, I can lend you firewood, otherwise the kitchen kang will not be used, as for quilts and clothes, I will Ask the people in the city lord's mansion, since the city lord let you enter the city, he probably won't just watch you freeze to death."

It's just that if you want to stay in Qingzhou City, you still have to be capable. Lin Lu said with some regrets: "It's winter now, and there is nothing to do, otherwise we can get some supplies anyway."

He still knew these two companions in the past. When they were in Yangcheng, they often worked together. Although Jiang Er was young, he was very knowledgeable about tanning fur. The fur he tanned was better than others. many.

As for Jiang Qi, although he is usually quiet, he is good at manual work. It is not difficult for him to make furniture. Repairing is also a common thing, and he can even make many exquisite and small objects.

Jiang Er didn't think it was a pity, he said: "This house has no air leakage, even if there is no quilt and firewood, we are not afraid."

They put on clothes, and after packing out their burdens, the cloth can be wrapped as clothes, which is warmer than staying in Yangcheng.

Lin Lu had enjoyed the kang, so he naturally wanted to try it with his two companions, but he wasn't sure if the City Lord's Mansion would send anything over.

Xie Ang was also thinking at the moment. When Wan Jie went to pick up people, he had already registered the information of Jiang Er and his wife, including what they would do and what they were good at.

All the mortals in Yangcheng have some ability to survive, and Xie Ang also values ​​the ability of these two people.

Although the people in Qingzhou City can tan fur, the tanned products can only be used by themselves, and no one wants to give them away.

As for the places that need manual work, there are even more places. Even if there is no shortage of furniture now, many places need to be repaired, and multiple people need more hands.

It's just that if people send things over as soon as they come, it will seem that Qingzhou City is too stupid and generous. After a long time, others will only think that Qingzhou City is easy to bully, not that Qingzhou City is good.

So Xie Ang simply called Wan Jie over and said, "Well, let's send them two old quilts first, and firewood for three days, but it's not free, just ask them if they are willing Teach your craft to other people, if you want, there will be work for them in two days, and they can take others with you, if you don't want to, then we don't support idlers."

It sounds a bit harsh, but considering how people in Qingzhou City worked before winter, this requirement is not too high.

If it wasn't for the lack of people in Qingzhou City, how could such a good thing happen in this season of lack of food and charcoal everywhere?

Half an hour later, both Jiang Er and Jiang Qi received a quilt and some firewood.

The firewood was brought directly in a storage bag, and it was very dry without being wetted by snow water at all.

As for the quilt, although it is old, it is soft and heavy, and it feels warm when you hold it.

After the two saw these things, and then listened to the request of the City Lord's Mansion, they naturally did not refuse.

They also work in Yangcheng and teach others crafts, but they can't even eat enough. Now that they can eat enough and wear warmth, what is there to be dissatisfied with?

No, there is still dissatisfaction, because they are not sure whether they can stay.

After seeing the house in Qingzhou, they never wanted to go anywhere else.

So Jiang Er still asked Wan Jie cautiously: "Master Wan, can we stay in Qingzhou City?"

Wan Jie smiled and said, "As long as you work hard, you will naturally be able to stay in Qingzhou City."

Jiang Er heaved a sigh of relief.

He is not afraid of working, but he is afraid of not having enough food and clothing.

Seeing this, Wan Jie asked Lin Lu to take good care of Jiang Er.

Lin Ludao: "Lord Wan, don't worry."

After Wan Jie left, Jiang Er couldn't help but said: "The attitude of the monks in Qingzhou City is too good, and the good ones are not like monks."

Although he came here for this purpose, he didn't expect to get such good treatment.

Lin Lu explained: "Because the city lord loves mortals, monks dare not bully us. Besides, as long as they are capable and willing to work, everyone is the same, no matter what monks or mortals."

Although he has detected the spiritual root and has the opportunity to become a monk, he still feels that the city lord is right. As long as he can contribute to Qingzhou City, what kind of mortal monk is he?

It was the first time for Jiang Er to hear such a statement. Although he felt bold, it sounded really comfortable.

Lin Lu didn't explain too much: "Okay, I'll teach you how to use the kang first, and you can rest well tonight."

Firewood was limited, so Jiang Er and the two of course slept on the same kang. After lighting the kang, Lin Lu said, "It's very warm. You don't need to cover yourself with a quilt."

Seeing the kang for the first time, Jiang Er and Jiang Qi were full of surprises, they touched things here and there, and when the kang was hot, they couldn't wait to take off their clothes and lie down on it.

It was really warm.

Jiang Er was surprised and said: "It's fine if you don't cover the quilt!"

Lin Ludao: "If you burn it at night, it will be warm all night. If you don't go in and out during the day, you can still retain some heat."

Jiang Er nodded repeatedly.

Seeing that both of them were tired, Lin Lu said: "Then you can rest and cook for yourself when you are hungry. I will live upstairs. Call me if you want."

After he left, Jiang Er said to Jiang Qi: "If you didn't go out with me this morning, you might still be freezing right now."

Jiang Qi also had lingering fears.

He said: "But we came out, and the others don't know what to do."

Mentioning this, Jiang Er was also a little silent. They are all people who can't take care of themselves, and there is no way to take care of more people.

"Hey, let's think about how to stay in Qingzhou City, I don't know what to do for us."

Jiang Qi is okay, he can repair things anytime, but Jiang Er is a little confused, where is the fur of a monster for him to tan in this winter?

Speaking of this, Xie Ang already had an idea in his mind.

And he didn't come up with this idea alone.

Early this morning, a monk from the city defense team came to report, saying that the monsters outside seemed to be silent, and they didn't know if they had hibernated.

In the past winters, although the monsters would calm down a little, they would never be silent. This year, I don't know if it was because of the snow disaster, they all hid.

The monks have gained some experience from hunting recently. After hearing the news, their first thought was to go to the lair of the monster.

Don't think it's dangerous to go out now, but the monsters have nothing to eat, are too lazy to move, and have no defense at the moment, so maybe the hunting efficiency can be higher.

Of course, none of the above considerations is the most important, the most important thing, they just couldn't stay in the house for a few days.

After finally raising his cultivation base by a small level, but not being able to go out to find monsters to learn from, it is really itchy.

After Su Qiuyan, a salted fish, heard the thoughts of the monks, he was rarely silent.

As a salted fish, he really didn't understand the magic power of chicken blood.

Xie Ang said: "In fact, not only monks, but ordinary people also want to continue to study."

Su Qiuyan: ...

"They don't want to take a good rest?" He asked suspiciously.

Xie Ang actually understands these people's feelings very well, just like him, it's good to let him rest for one day, it's okay to let him rest for two days, but if you let him rest for three days or four days, I'm afraid he will lose his strength .

After all, there is nothing to do in the winter, so I can't sleep all the time, which is too boring.

Su Qiuyan said that he couldn't understand, but he was willing to give support: "Before, I planned to let everyone learn more things in winter. Now that everyone is willing, we can find a house on the first floor where no one lives as a classroom. Every third or fourth building Classes are held together, and the class time is changed to daytime, as for the qi refining class, the class continues in the same way, but both teachers and students have two days off every seven days."

Xie Ang nodded: "I'll let them draw up the detailed regulations in a while, and the class will start the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Su Qiuyan continued: "It's not impossible for the monks to hunt in winter, but it's more dangerous. Let's observe the movements of the monsters for a few days. If it's still the same as today, then send the monks who established the foundation to take everyone out of the city. Although the meat of the hunted monsters cannot be eaten, the monster core can be used to make alchemy, the fur can be tanned to keep warm, and some of the bones and minions can even be used as medicine, so it will not be wasted."

"It's just hunting in winter. My requirements for everyone will be different." Su Qiuyan became serious, "What I ask is not how many prey you can hunt, but whether everyone can follow orders and cooperate closely. Since everyone wants to move, then do it well." Use this winter to practice tacit understanding, if it continues to be the same as in the past, then I will be very disappointed."

After several months of training, the monks in Qingzhou City have indeed improved their hunting ability a lot, but they are still far behind the hunting team in Yangcheng.

It's just that Su Qiuyan has never teamed up with others to hunt, and the requirement is to be able to propose a large basket, and he has no actual guidance experience at all, so when it came to this, he said to Xie Ang: "The hunting team in Yangcheng, I don't know if there are any monks who are willing to join Qingzhou City?"

Although he said a question, Xie Ang keenly got an imperative sentence from his eyes.

"My subordinates think that the situation in Yangcheng this year may not be very good, and there should be some monks who are willing to go to Qingzhou City." So Xie Ang affirmed.

This is not a lie, the last time he went to Yangcheng, he didn't just go to ask for pills.

After finally going out for a trip, you still have to chat with people and ask more questions, so as to ensure that you are well-informed.

So when Steward Sha led them around, he chatted with many monks.

Generally speaking, the monks in Yangcheng are also divided into two categories: those who do not mix well and those who do well. The situation of cronyism in the city is very serious, which has caused some people to "underappreciate their talents", and even live a very aggrieved life.

Xie Ang had heard a name before - Yan Cheng.

This man was the captain of the Yangcheng Hunting Team in the past, but because he didn't know how to behave, he couldn't give gifts, and he couldn't flatter him. The combination of the three made his career seriously frustrated, and he met the confidant of the deputy housekeeper of the city lord's mansion. For the hunting team, he changed from the captain to the vice-captain, and then, more and more airborne, he was dissatisfied, so he didn't even serve as the vice-captain, and directly resigned and became an ordinary hunting team member.

And the deputy housekeeper was the one who was dismissed because he urged the city lord of Yangcheng to come to Qingzhou, so when the butler Sha on the new top received them, he took this matter as "the city lord did not have any malice towards Qingzhou One of the arguments for man's mischief" told them.

At that time, Xie Ang only listened to it as gossip, but who knew it would be used today.

If Yan Cheng can be lured to Qingzhou City, then the ability of the Qingzhou hunting team will definitely be raised to a higher level.

Su Qiuyan's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "Then go and see if we can bring this Yan Cheng to Qingzhou City."

It is a good thing for someone to join us, but it is not enough to blindly accept it passively. We still have to take the initiative to introduce talents.

As long as they are capable of being wronged, they are all within the scope of their goals.

Xie Ang nodded and said, "City Master, don't worry, I'll leave this matter to my subordinates."

After speaking, he took a look at Qin Yue.

Qin Yue's expression was calm at the moment. Although he heard that the captain of the hunting team was going to be brought in, he still didn't react at all, and even showed the same kind of relief as the city lord in his eyes.

If it was the past, Qin Yue must have stood up and said that he could try this position.

Xie Ang sighed inwardly, sure enough, he became the candidate for the wife of the city lord, and other positions can no longer attract this ambitious kid!
