Chapter 447: On the way home

"Well, I'll buy a handy axe." Song Wumian had no choice but to buy it, otherwise this little broken axe would have to fight him to death.

"Go together, I'll get some money." Liang Yingzhu ran fast with her skirt. After a moment, she took out her purse from the house, held Song Wumian's arm, and looked excited.

"Yingzhu, this is a bit bad." As soon as she went out, Song Wumian could feel the feeling of being pointed at, which was quite uncomfortable.

"Why? I'll have to hide once every six months? Don't you think I'm a widow?" Liang Yingzhu ignored it and put her arms tighter.

Although no one dares to say anything in front of her on weekdays, Liang Yingzhu could still feel some malicious eyes. She is not without a man, her man is a general.

Song Wumian felt ashamed of Liang Yingzhu, and he subconsciously straightened his back when he heard this.

Today, Baodao County is still in its infancy, with only a few shops selling some necessities for daily necessities. There is nothing to visit. Song Wumian chose a handy axe and brought Liang Yingzhu back.

I bought a pack of cooked food along the way. Her and Xing'er's cooking skills are average and she eats lightly on weekdays, but I believe Song Wumian likes to have a heavier taste.

With a "bang~", a thick wood broke in response to the sound. Song Wumian helped it, changed direction, and continued to chop.

"No, it's too hot!" It's already autumn and the weather is cool, but chopping wood is a stamina. Song Wumian's clothes quickly decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When the chopped wood was piled half a person high, Song Wumian was already naked, and his strong tendon flesh kept raising as the axe swung.

"Brother Song, take a sip of water!" Liang Yingzhu handed over with a teacup, and Song Wumian drank it all in one go.

"If you don't have to take a break, then do it again." Liang Yingzhu wiped his chest with a towel. It was covered in sweat and even her pants were soaked.

"No, the work will be completed soon." Song Wumian, who was originally exhausted, burst into amazing vitality under the wipe of Liang Yingzhu.

Liang Yingzhu simply brought a stool, sat on it, held her cheek with her hands, and just watched it. How great would it be if this man was by her side every day?

"Sakura, Sakura!" When the sun set, Song Wumian finally finished chopping. But when he turned around, he saw that Liang Yingzhu was actually asleep, with a sweet smile on his lips.

"Ah! Brother Song, I'm sorry." Liang Yingzhu rubbed her eyes, and then she found that the wood was already piled high and could be used for a long time.

"It's okay, the autumn wind outside is cool. If you are sleepy, go to the house to sleep." Song Wumian helped Liang Yingzhu up and said with a little blame. This is too careless to pay attention to your health.

"Ah, I don't know anything about it on weekdays. Xing'er, is the hot water ready? Prepare a bath water for Brother Song." Liang Yingzhu took Song Wumian's clothes from the side and put them on him. She had just sweated and was most likely to get cold into her body.

"Madam, it's already done, you can go and wash it." Xing'er was very aware and tried not to appear in the eyes of the two of them, disturbing their solitude.

"Brother Song, go and wash first, I'll prepare the clothes you change." In this yard, Song Wumian is already here, and he has prepared a lot of clothes. Now he just needs to take them out.

Song Wumian was soaked in warm water, and there was an indescribable restlessness.

"Brother Song, just put this clothes here. You can take them out later." Although Liang Yingzhu had been in the same room as Song Wumian, she still felt a little embarrassed. She put down her clothes and was about to leave.

"Yingzhu, my back cannot reach it, can you help me wipe it?" Time was tight, and Song Wumian didn't care much.

"Ah, okay!" I wanted to refuse, but I felt that this was my duty as a wife, and I finally agreed.

Xing'er sat at the kitchen door, staring at the afterglow of the sunset. The food was ready, but the wife and the general still did not come out. Although she was still young, she knew something and would never dare to disturb her.

"Xing'er, go and serve the food!" Yingzhu came out of the room with a red face and said to the maid sitting at the kitchen door.

"Maid is going now!" Xing'er hurriedly got up and went to work.

After the sun sets, it is the busiest time in Baodao County. From the fields, farmers who have just finished their work will walk into the village in groups of three or five.

The children who stayed at home ran to the entrance of the village to welcome their parents who were returning home.

At present, Baodao County has not yet formed a commodity society, and it adopts the most primitive tribal system. A village is a tribe. Everyone goes out to open up land together, and the old and weak prepare dinner at home.

In an era of extreme scarcity of materials, there were not many demands except for eating fullness. Instead, it could reflect the simplest side of human nature. No one was scammered and everyone was working hard to make it so that everyone in the village could have a full meal.

The biggest private property of most families should be the chickens and ducks they raise.

"The sound of chickens and dogs is heard, and they will never interact with each other until they die. Maybe that's what it means." Song Wumian looked at the scene in front of him and sighed. This may be the era of men farming and women weaving that many people yearn for, and the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in the ancient times.

"Not the temptation of money, or in other words, it's useless to have money, but it can't last long." Chen He stood outside the fence and burped. He was a little dizzy when he was drinking at Guan Qingquan before. The wine was not very powerful, but he still had the potential, so he simply took a nap.

Song Wumian returned to Liang Yingzhu's side, and he knew it clearly, so he just came over and took a look.

"Brother Chen is here, please come in quickly, Xing'er, go and add some dishes!" Liang Yingzhu ignored the grievances between their men. When she returned to Quanzhou before, his father also explained the grievances between the three major families and the Chen family to her clearly.

But Liang Yingzhu felt that no matter what, Chen He was still the elder brother who was willing to protect her.

"I don't know if I'm going to give you a seat for Brother Chen!" Seeing Song Wumian who had no reaction at all, Liang Yingzhu kicked her directly.

"Well, General Chen, please sit down!" This kick made Song Wumian very happy. This is the difference, only his own men can get treatment.

"Then I'm not polite. Actually, I'm not hungry yet. This is the first time I've come to Yingzhu's new home. I'm empty-handed. I'm sorry!" Chen He was also very satisfied with the kick. Now his treatment should be just like his brother-in-law, and he immediately straightened his back a little.

"Brother Chen, you are about to set off overnight. I won't prepare wine for you, eat more dishes." Liang Yingzhu raised her chopsticks and picked up food for him. After finishing, she did not forget to pick up a piece for Song Wumian.

Xing'er brought the bowls and chopsticks in front of Chen He, and was about to retreat and wait in the kitchen.

On weekdays, only Liang Yingzhu and her both had dinner together, but today there were two big names, and she was inevitably annoying.

"Hey, that, Xing'er, eat together!" Song Wumian used to pay attention to style, and there were countless servants in his family, so it was naturally impossible for him to have dinner together.

Now that he has been under Sun Yu's rule for a long time, he gradually feels that people should not pay attention to everything. Even if the Duke of the State is like this, he is a general, so there is no need to show off his character.

"Yes! Yes! Eat together." Chen He was not willing to be outdone, and his brother-in-law could be considered half of his master.

Xing'er was quite uncomfortable, so she just looked at Liang Yingzhu with questions. She used to hear that big people had heavy rules at home. They were servants, but they were not.

If you are careful, you will always be blamed, and this doesn't look like it.

Xing'er knew the identities of these two people, and had heard from his wife that they were even higher than those of the county magistrate.

"Xing'er, come on, sit next to me!" Liang Yingzhu pointed to the empty seat beside her. Since they didn't care, let's eat together.

The meal was quite harmonious. Chen He didn't eat much, so he was not hungry at all.

"General Song, let's go back to Quanzhou directly?" At the dinner table, Song Wumian didn't say clearly that Sun Yu must be heading east in Fuzhou and Luoyuan County has already gone down, so he should be heading to Ningde.

Ningde County is located near the sea to facilitate the fleet to dock. If it is to gain military achievements, it should go directly to the vicinity of Ningde.

The current navy fleet is simply an invincible existence on the sea, so it’s okay to look at it.

"Yes, go back to Quanzhou first. The Duke must have left an arrangement. Some of the supplies we carry are very important and urgently needed." Song Wumian nodded. Many of the supplies in it were sulfur ore and essential items for making gunpowder.

Sooner or later, artillery will be used in large-scale land warfare, and it will inevitably be easily learned by others at that time. In that case, it will have to win by quantity. Among the materials obtained by Japan, the status of sulfur ore is no less than that of silver.

"Let's go, Yingzhu, we're leaving!" Song Wumian held Liang Yingzhu's shoulder. If possible, no one would want to have a love relationship here. However, a real man should be determined in all directions, otherwise, he would probably repeat the mistakes he had when he was young. Without strength, he would not be able to hold on to anything.

"Brother Song, be careful and take good care of Brother Chen." Liang Yingzhu looked up at Song Wumian, then turned to look at Chen He. Although they were all generals, they always had to fight desperately.

She is a woman, and she cannot prevent men from pursuing fame and fortune, and she just hopes that they can all return safely.

Chen He waved his hand and turned around and left first, leaving some space for them to be alone.

However, unexpectedly, after a moment, Song Wumian chased after him.

"What, won't you be there later?" Chen He turned his head and looked at it. It was still a while before leaving the port.

"I always have to leave, it's almost done. You can't delay it because of private matters." Song Wumian kept stopping at his feet. The earlier he left the port, the better.

Half an hour later, the huge fleet left the port and headed towards Quanzhou, with only the sea breeze and the stars and moon accompanying them.

Every time the navy approaches the port on a large scale, it is the most lively time in Quanzhou, much more lively than during the Chinese New Year. The vendors who hear the news are waiting in the port just for the first batch of goods.

Overseas things are very rare in the Central Plains on weekdays. If you want to sell them at a good price, you have to grab the time. If you have too much, it will be worthless. This is an eternal truth.

Nowadays, most of the ships are loaded with items that cannot be used for trade, such as roughly refined brass, silver, sulfur and other strategic materials. These must be sent to various workshops and processed into finished products before circulation.

In addition to these, it is also loaded with some crystal products, fans, pearls, deer antlers, poria cocos, some exquisitely crafted crafts, and the well-known Japanese sword.

The Japanese sword was passed down from the Tang sword. The blade was slender, with a very small arc and a sharp edge. Song Wumian tried it and it was more lethal than his treasure blade.

However, there is a problem with this Japanese sword. It is very light, and the blade lacks elasticity and the armor-breaking ability is not strong, so you can only win at speed. If you encounter a soldier using heavy weapons, it is easy to be broken by a knife and a single blow.
