Chapter 245: Wayao (Additional update for the leader of the alliance!)
Baolong County appears narrow and long on the map of Daqi. It is a county shaped like an arm. It is adjacent to the two counties of Cangzhu Changming on the left and the three counties of Le'an, Qiuyang and Yinqiao on the right.
Wayao Town is an extremely ordinary town among many towns. This kind of ordinaryness is ordinary from head to toe, from the inside out.
As the name of the town suggests, the livelihood of the people here is to make bricks and tiles.
However, the ordinary people in Qi State are different from the ordinary people in other small countries.
Being able to live well by working hard is already a life that many people dream of.
Based on the information given by Lin Youxie, Jiang Wang found a medium-sized Wayao kiln to the west of Wayao Town.
In front of the pile of neatly piled gray tiles, there was a group of people moving tiles back and forth. These people were both male and female, mostly men. The men were basically naked, and their muscles were stained black and gray. The women were all
Wearing wear-resistant coarse cloth clothes, their hair was wrapped in a headscarf whose original color could not be seen. Some of them looked stronger than men.
Jiang Wang looked carefully for a while, and then relied on the extraordinary monk's excellent eyesight to find Zhang Cuihua——
This is a very ordinary village woman, slightly thinner than the other women who work together, and relatively less bloated. Her face is also cleaner... but she is still not good-looking.
Extraordinary monks, understood only in a literal sense, are beyond the ordinary.
Any extraordinary monk, even if he is as crazy as Zhang Hai or as depraved as Ge Heng, can easily live a luxurious life far beyond that of ordinary people.
Chu Mi was already a monk in the Wailou Realm, and had already stepped into the qualifications of a county governor.
As he said himself, to be able to practice in a place like Liang Shanglou, with such skills and resources, to reach the Outer Tower Realm, he is already amazing, and he is an extremely talented monk!
How could he fall in love with such an ordinary village woman?
There is neither cultivation nor beauty.
"Hey, hey, boy, what are you doing? You've been looking at me for a long time with a stern look on your face!" A particularly strong man suddenly shouted.
Jiang Wang looked around and realized that he was talking about himself.
"This big brother." Jiang Wang smiled warmly and said, "I'm looking for someone."
The strong man walked forward with a large pile of tiles in his arms, glaring at Jiang Wang as he walked.
His face was covered in gray so that he couldn't see clearly, but the warning in his eyes was very strong: "Don't have any evil intentions, or my fists won't recognize you!"
"Brother, please rest assured, I am here as a good person."
Reaching out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man, the strong man walked forward with a cold face, but he still said unforgivingly: "How can a good person be from someone with thin skin and tender flesh?"
"I haven't hired you or messed with you, so why are you talking so much? There's not enough work for you!" a female voice shouted, showing off her momentum.
The strong man moved his head silently and stopped talking.
Coincidentally, it was Zhang Cuihua who came to the rescue.
She had just removed the tiles, patted the dust on her sleeves, and walked out.
Helping a strange young man out of trouble was an ordinary thing. She didn't even look at Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang hurried a few steps forward and greeted politely: "Excuse me... are you a member of Chu's studious family?"
Yes, the pseudonym Chu Mi used in Wayao Town was actually Chu Haoxue.
What are you studying? This name is too ridiculous. A guy who is proficient in deception and abduction is still "easy to learn"? Is this even possible?
"That's my man." Zhang Cuihua stopped and looked at him with a complicated look: "What can I do for you?"
"That's right." Jiang Wang looked around: "Is it convenient for me to take a step to talk?"
The woman looked troubled: "I'm working here."
Jiang Wang thought for a moment and said, "So, how much is your day's wages? I'll pay you, and you don't have to work today."
It stands to reason that not having to work is a good thing for everyone, but the woman shook her head: "There is no such thing as a good thing falling from the sky. My man said, you can never believe this. Even if it is true at this time...
If you don’t want it, sooner or later you will find it somewhere else to make up for it.”
Jiang Wang was speechless for a moment.
Chu Mi is indeed an expert in deception and deception, and has developed a strong sense of fraud prevention in his daughter-in-law.
"You..." In Jiang Wang's silence, Zhang Cuihua looked at him: "Do you know my man?"
Only then did Jiang Wang recognize the vigilance and expectation hidden in this woman's eyes.
After all, her husband "Chu Haoxue" has not come back for five years.
"We...are considered friends." Jiang Wang said.
"How is he?" Zhang Cuihua grabbed his sleeve, but soon let go, and hurriedly wiped the dust on his sleeve: "Yes... I'm sorry."
"It's okay, it's okay." Jiang Wang said warmly: "Shall we find a place to chat?"
"What do you mean?" The strong man bumped back from nowhere and cursed from a distance: "Sister Hua, what's going on? Is this pretty boy bullying someone?"
"It's none of your business!" Zhang Cuihua turned around and scolded him back: "I'm talking to my little brother, am I bothering you? Get out of here!"
The strong and aggressive man was halfway through his charge, but was scolded back again.
Zhang Cuihua then turned back and advised: "Don't be angry, country people don't sound nice, but they don't have bad intentions."
This strong man is a warm-hearted person, but he is just a little reckless.
Jiang Wang won't be angry because of this. It's mainly because it's the first time he's been called a pretty boy, so the experience is quite novel. Before, he had only...
He sighed.
Over there, Zhang Cuihua stretched out his hand again and said, "It's sweltering in the tile kiln, let's talk outside."
It seems that the identity of "Chu Mi's studious friend" has been very effective for her. She has forgotten all the nine precautions and eight vigilances that Chu Mi usually instills.
Just as Jiang Wang was thinking about it, Zhang Cuihua turned around and shouted again: "Dog, Shanzi! I'm going out for a while. Please help me watch Yao'er and don't let him run around!"
Two responses came from the crowd.
"Okay, Sister Hua!", "Hey!"
It seems that she is very popular in this Wayao.
Jiang Wang also retracted his previous judgment. Zhang Cuihua did not completely trust him. This was "flexing his muscles". It was nothing more than expressing - have you seen these men? If you dare to have any bad intentions, I will do whatever you want.
Then I asked a few people to tear you apart in the next life.
"Yao'er..." Jiang Wang asked, "Is he the child of your studious brother and me?"
Zhang Cuihua grinned: "Then I can still have a baby with someone else? Those eyebrows and eyes can't be someone else's seed!"
Jiang Wang touched his nose. He was not very able to withstand such a straightforward language style.
As Zhang Cuihua walked out, he explained: "Burning tiles is a hard work, and you can't live without people for a while. When I was young, I couldn't live without people, so I always took him to work with me. Gradually, I grew up in this tile kiln.
"
After walking out of the tile kiln, she took off her headscarf whose original color could not be seen, dusted off the black ashes, and said proudly: "Don't look at him at a young age, he can even burn tiles himself!"
She smiled and said, "I just don't ask him to do it."
Her husband never came back, so she worked alone in the tile kiln with her children, doing manual labor like a man. She burned bricks and tiles, moved tiles and carried heavy loads.
But there was no resentment in her tone or state.
Only the tenacity to face life and simple and plain satisfaction.
Looking at this smile, Jiang Wang already knew why Chu Mi fell in love with this woman.

ps:
I read a book and there was a sentence in the book, "Opening a restaurant is a matter of diligence."
I no longer remember what was written in that book, I only remember this sentence.
This sentence is so lifelike.
It's what ordinary people say every day.
I hope that when I write about daily life, I can write about the real flavor of life. Not just the transition of the plot and the buffer of the climax.
