The Fulang's Modern Young Husband Chapter 422 Part 2

Qin Hengyi said, "Shiyi says A-Zuo is one of Jiang Zhanying's spies — not from any prominent family."

Spies were mostly orphans—to put it bluntly, they were little more than servants. Moreover, Jiang Chuying and A-Zuo had already been involved before marriage. Jiang Zhanying was furious. When he caught them together, he wanted to cut A-Zuo down with his sword on the spot, but Jiang Chuying had set her heart on A-Zuo and shielded him desperately, even threatening to kill herself. Jiang Zhanying had no choice but to accept it. 

But he was still angry, so there was no grand ceremony.

"This is different." Qin Hengxuan was silent for a long time before saying, "If..."

Fang Zichen had not yet been acknowledged back into the family, and whether he was willing to return, they could not be sure. Qin Hengxuan and Meng Ruqing worried that Fang Zichen might not be willing to acknowledge them. Old General Qin naturally understood. At this juncture, if anything happened to Guaizai, Fang Zichen doted on his son so much that he might very well want to kill them, let alone anything else. Moreover, Qin Hengxuan doted on this boy excessively, but children "will not amount to anything without a beating."

Earlier the soldier could still moan a couple of times, but now...

What the heck was that? Salt water?

After the wound was treated, Tang Daniang directly bandaged it up.

Lao Jiang could not hold back any longer: "No medicine needs to be applied?"

Back when Physician Li was teaching them according to Fang Zichen's "lesson plan," she had also been completely baffled.

Disinfection and sterilization, alcohol distillation, suturing—she had never even heard of such things.

However, blasting a channel through to the sea was extremely difficult. This was nothing like blasting through mountains on land before. At sea, there were far more problems to consider. The first was the force of the blast and the flying debris — they could easily injure the workers. On land, they could dig tunnels and hide under iron plates, but at sea, where were they supposed to hide?

The vibrations from blasting might even cause nearby mountain bodies to loosen, and it would also affect the surrounding fishermen.

To connect directly to Hezhou, they'd have to blast flat the middle of these large mountains entirely and carve out a path.

Chapter 421  

Liu Da's wife waited at home for most of the day and didn't see him return. The food was still on the stove. She told her eldest son to go out and look for him. But then—wonderful—the eldest son went and didn't come back either. She told her younger son to go, and the younger son didn't come back either.

Liu Da's wife grabbed a cleaver and searched the streets for a long time. An acquaintance saw her and said, "Looking for Liu Da and the kids?"

"Yes."

"They're in the hot pot restaurant."

The next day, Dahu and several other men shouldered hoes and carried sickles, planning to take their chances in the mountains. Just as they were heading out, they noticed that far away, someone seemed to be coming toward the village.

Red clothes stood out sharply against the vast whiteness.

As they got closer, they saw it was yamen runners.

The people of Xiaolu Village had no good impression of yamen runners. If not for the sabers at their waists, they would have swung their hoes at them right then. No one went to greet them; they only went back to call the village chief.

Xiaolu Village had a particularly difficult year. In the evening, Dahu came back from the mountains against the wind and snow, carrying a small bundle of tree roots on his back—he'd spent most of the day digging them up.

Recently, everyone had been rushing into the mountains. Even tree roots were hard to find now. The few roots on his shoulders didn't weigh much, but Dahu was hunched over, as if crushed by those few roots, his footsteps extremely heavy.

There were three children at home, and his father was already in his sixties. This little bit of tree roots was nowhere near enough to eat.
