Xia Mingyue read with great interest, turning the pages one by one.

At this time, the snowflakes in the sky gradually became smaller.

There was a thick layer of snow on the ground, like a blanket. Wu Jin, nestling in the warm nest, found it very fun. He stretched out his paws and stuffed them into the snow. When he felt the strong chill, he retracted his paws and put them under his body to warm himself up.

After playing for a while, he licked the white snowflakes with his tongue.

It was cool but not sweet, and not as delicious as the fermented rice wine and egg drop soup I had in the evening.

Speaking of the fermented glutinous rice and egg drop soup, it is rare to have a bowl of this soup, and it is so delicious that after drinking a big bowl, I still feel it is not enough.

I really hope I can drink this kind of egg drop soup often in the future...

Wu Jin thought, and narrowed his eyes.

Suddenly, it saw something coming out of the wall, which made it open its eyes wide and stand up, staring at the wall carefully.

And on the top of the wall, there was no other movement except a layer of snow.

Could it be that I saw it wrong?
Just as Wu Jin was doubting himself, a head slowly popped up from the top of the wall.

someone!

Are you trying to steal something in the middle of the night?
Wu Jin immediately became alert and quickly walked to the base of the wall. He lowered his body, stretched his neck forward, and bared his teeth, ready to attack at any time.

When the head was completely on top of the wall and the entire face was exposed, Wu Jin was stunned.

High-profile bag?
When Lu Qiyan was doing a pull-up and his upper body emerged from the wall, the first scene he saw was Wu Jin who was about to pounce on him at any time. He was also stunned.

Sure enough, every time I go home, there is always a dog blocking my way.

He and Wu Jin probably have some incompatibility.

But it was already late at night, and he was originally hesitating whether to knock on the door to wake up Xia Mingyue. Since Wu Jin was awake, why not call it to open the door?
Thinking of this, Lu Qiyan clung to the wall with one arm, struggling to hang on to it, and waved at Wu Jin with one hand, signaling it to come over.

Wu Jin opened his mouth and wanted to say something to Lu Qiyan, but he glanced at the inner room and was afraid of waking up Xia Mingyue, so he stopped talking and looked at Lu Qiyan fiercely.

If you have something to say, say it now. If you have to fart, fart now. Don’t try to get close to me!

"Wu Jin, can you help me open the door?" Lu Qiyan whispered.

Don't even think about it!

"Don't you recognize me again?" Lu Qiyan frowned. "Didn't we just meet in Xiaohe Village a few days ago? We are all family. You can open the door for me."

Tsk, who are you family? You are a conspicuous person, you are not the same as them. Besides, who would be a good person hanging on the wall in the middle of the night?
Wu Jinlian didn't want to pay any attention to Lu Qiyan. After glaring at Lu Qiyan for a while, he really didn't want to communicate with him any more, so he simply turned around and prepared to go back to his nest.

Since you don't like knocking on the door and prefer hanging it on the wall, then just hang it there.

Lu Qiyan, "..."

It turned out that they were incompatible and could not even speak the same language.

After thinking about it, Lu Qiyan still waved at Wu Jin, "It's too late now. If I ask Mingyue to open the door, I'm afraid she will be cold. Why don't you open the door for me and I'll knock on the door of the inner room? That would be better."

Seeing that Wu Jin still ignored him, Lu Qiyan simply gritted his teeth and threatened.

"If you don't open the door, I will eat up all the food in the house when I get up tomorrow morning, and you will only be able to eat dry buns tomorrow..."

Wu Jin, "???"

Eat up all its food?

If someone else said this, it would definitely not believe it. But this is a conspicuous bag!

The conspicuous bag can do anything...

It's really annoying. He doesn't come back early or late, but has to come back in the middle of the night. And he lets this dog open the door. How shameless!
Wu Jin cursed in his heart for a long time, and finally walked slowly to the door, bit the bolt with his mouth, and pulled it out little by little.

Only after all three bolts were opened did Lu Qiyan successfully open the door.

Reaching out to brush off the snow on his body, Lu Qiyan shook off the snow mud on his feet outside the door, then walked into the door and closed it gently again.

"Thank you, Wu Jin." Lu Qiyan finally expressed his gratitude to Wu Jin and raised his hand to touch Wu Jin's big head.

Wu Jin dodged nimbly.

People and dogs should not be too close to each other, so don't try to get close to them.

We are not very familiar with each other.

Seeing Wu Jin snorting and swaggering back to his den, Lu Qiyan shrugged helplessly, placed the horse he rode back at the gatehouse, crossed the yard, came to the door of the main room, and knocked gently.

The sound was not loud, but Xia Mingyue in the inner room heard it clearly.

The person knocking on the door at this time is Jiang Zhuguo?

Putting down the storybook, Xia Mingyue quickly put on her coat and asked, "Zhu Guo, is there anything wrong?"

"It's me." Lu Qiyan replied.

The voice was deep, magnetic and distinctive, allowing Xia Mingyue to instantly recognize that the person was Lu Qiyan.

At this time, Lu Qiyan came back?
Xia Mingyue put on her coat, put on her shoes, and walked into the main room.

After confirming through the crack in the door with the bright light of the snow outside that the person outside was Lu Qiyan, Xia Mingyue pulled the bolt.

"Why are you back at this time?" Xia Mingyue raised her hand to brush off the thin layer of snowflakes on Lu Qiyan's body, and hurriedly took the kettle from the cotton pad and basket that served as the insulation layer.

The tea in the kettle was still warm. Xia Mingyue poured a cup and handed it to Lu Qiyan, "Hurry up and drink some hot tea to warm yourself up."

Lu Qiyan first closed the door carefully, tidied the cotton curtain at the door, and made sure that no cold wind blew in, then he went to take the teacup handed to him by Xia Mingyue.

The teacup was warm, but when she took it, it accidentally touched Xia Mingyue's fingertips.

A little chilly.

"Go lie down on the bed, it's cold outside." Lu Qi Yan said.

Although there was a charcoal basin in the room for heating, it was still quite cold after suddenly getting out of the warm bed.

Xia Mingyue was quite afraid of the cold, so she did not refuse. She ran to sit on the kang and covered most of her body with the quilt.

Seeing this, Lu Qiyan continued, "The bridge over the Yongfeng River has been built day and night, and most of it has been completed. The stone materials have not kept up in the past two days, so I ordered people to supervise the construction. The speed of the bridge construction has slowed down a bit, and I have some free time."

So I came back to take a look.

"It snowed again today, so I'm afraid it will be delayed for a few more days. It will probably take until the end of the month to complete the construction of this bridge." Lu Qi Yan said.

"Yeah." Xia Mingyue nodded in the inner room, "The stones are not in stock, but is it because of the shortage of silver and money?"

"That's not the case." Lu Qiyan paused, "The gentry and wealthy families nearby are quite generous and are very concerned about the bridge construction. They have all donated a lot of silver. There is no shortage of silver for the bridge construction at this time."

Since Lu Qiyan personally visited these people one by one last time, they have become much more obedient. Some of them not only gave money, but also donated a lot of food and meat, showing great intent to curry favor with him. (End of this chapter)
