After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

Chapter 221: Ruined Temple Sheltering from the Rain

Chang Wei didn't say anything. He had come to Longshui Town to do some business today. When he turned around, he saw her ox cart, so he deliberately asked Manager Chang to drive the carriage in front, and he deliberately walked slowly on the road while waiting for her.

I guess it's just a matter of luck. I wonder if Jiang Xiaohe will take the initiative to let him get on the ox cart.

Chang Wei glanced at her secretly and asked, "I heard from Brother Meng that you are going to open a branch in Longshui Town?"

Jiang Xiaohe nodded.

"Why not open a branch in a county town? There are more people in a county town, so business will naturally be better."

"It's because I don't have money." Jiang Xiaohe pulled the cow rope and turned his head slightly and said, "A little bit will add up to a lot. Once the two stores are running and I have saved enough money, I will definitely open a shop in the county town."

No money? Just tell him you don't have money, he has plenty of money.

"I'll lend it to you!"

Jiang Xiaohe glanced at him and thought, you are quite generous, but she won’t lend it to you. It’s like you are grateful to her for taking the money.

"No need. I'm not in a hurry to open a branch. I can take my time." If he then asked her to give birth to a baby for him, wouldn't it be a waste of time and effort for her?

Chang Wei nodded, and Jiang Xiaohe asked again, "Are your previous injuries healed?"

Hearing Jiang Xiaohe's concern for him, Chang Wei felt a little excited: "It's almost done."

Jiang Xiaohe continued, "I've known you for so long, but I still don't know what you do. Everyone calls you Landlord Chang. Is your family farming? But if you're farming, why did you get so badly injured?"

Chang Wei looked at her with amusement: "You call me Landlord Chang because I have bought a lot of farms in our town, so I have a lot of land."

"Then what do you do? Are you also in business?" Last time, Meng Hetang said that the transportation and escort of mushrooms should be handed over to him. Could it be that he was engaged in transportation in ancient times?

"As for me, I have to rely on my wits to make a living."

Jiang Xiaohe thought about it and wondered if there was any profession in ancient times that relied on martial arts to make a living.

Finally he asked, "Are you a bodyguard?"

"My lady has a good eye, she guessed it right at once!"

Oh, I didn’t expect that.

"Are you really a bodyguard?"

Chang Wei nodded: "Our county, even our state capital, has my escort agency."

Jiang Xiaohe stretched out a hand and made a cool gesture towards him, asking why Meng Hetang had given the escort task to him.

Thinking of his last injury, he said, "It seems that your escort mission is not very safe."

When talking about this, Chang Wei frowned slightly: "We rely on luck when escorting. In the past few years, there has been unrest in the mountainous area of ​​Zezhou. There are too many bandits, and the government is unable to wipe them out in one fell swoop, which makes some people panic."

Zezhou? Why do these two words sound so familiar?

Jiang Xiaohe frowned. Chang Wei leaned on the cart with both hands and looked at her: "I heard that your man had an accident in Zezhou?"

Yes, she said, these two words are familiar, didn't Zhang Dashan have an accident on Zezhou Mountain? He was killed by bandits.

Jiang Xiaohe nodded: "Master Chang has done a very comprehensive search."

Chang Wei showed a trace of embarrassment on his face: "When I wanted to marry you, I naturally asked more questions."

marry her?

That's obviously not marrying her, but taking her as a concubine.

But when it comes to this, both of them feel a little awkward, and no one speaks for a while.

It was a fine day, but suddenly a strong wind blew and dark clouds appeared in the sky.

"The weather changed too quickly. It was sunny just now, but now the wind is blowing and it's going to rain." Jiang Xiaohe wondered.

"The weather in summer is so unpredictable." Chang Wei pointed ahead and said, "There is a dilapidated temple ahead. Why don't we go there to take shelter from the rain?"

To be honest, if she was driving the ox cart alone, even in the rain, she would have wanted to rush back in one go, but Chang Wei was also on the cart. Thinking of what he had just said, his injury was almost healed, but not completely. It would be bad if his wound got inflamed or something else because of her driving the cart in the rain.

So they hurriedly followed the direction he pointed. Before they reached the dilapidated temple, there was thunder and rain. Fortunately, they entered the dilapidated temple before the rain got heavier and tied up the ox cart. Jiang Xiaohe wiped the rain off her face.

"We are lucky that we didn't get soaked to the bone."

Chang Wei walked towards the temple and Jiang Xiaohe hurriedly followed.

Chang Wei found some dry wood and started a fire: "I think the rain won't stop so soon, you can warm yourself up by the fire and dry your clothes."

Jiang Xiaohe sat a little further away from the fire. If she was too close, her face would be burned.

Chang Wei started to take off his clothes. Jiang Xiaohe was stunned, then she thought that he might want to dry her clothes, so she quickly turned her head away.

Chang Wei squatted down in his underwear and looked at Jiang Xiaohe: "Why don't you take off your clothes?"

Jiang Xiaohe shook her head.

"What are you afraid of? We are alone here, there is no one else around."

Jiang Xiaohe turned her head away. Is there something wrong with Chang Wei's brain? To her, he is just someone else, okay?

"I'll sit by the fire, and the clothes will dry naturally. Master Chang, just take care of yourself."

Chang Wei: ...Did he say something wrong?

"Oh." Chang Wei squatted down and used a wooden stick to hang up his clothes.

The two of them stayed like that in silence. The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the sky was getting darker and darker. It felt like there was a hole in the sky.

When the cold wind blew, Jiang Xiaohe couldn't help but sneeze.

"Are you catching a cold?" Chang Wei asked worriedly.

Jiang Xiaohe rubbed her nose and said, "No, my nose is just itchy."

Chang Wei looked at her wet shoes and trouser legs.

He touched the clothes he had dried and threw them to Jiang Xiaohe: "Go change your clothes and I'll dry them for you."

Jiang Xiaohe didn't want to.

Chang Wei's expression changed: "Don't force me to use force."

"You dare!" Jiang Xiaohe threw his clothes to him.

Chang Wei stood up immediately, and Jiang Xiaohe quickly moved closer to the fire: "My clothes will be dry in a moment, no need, thank you for your kindness."

Seeing that she was so strong-willed one second and then showed weakness the next, he realized that she was wary of him.

Unable to help but smile, Chang Wei took the clothes and put them on himself, then sat down again.

"Why? Are you afraid that I will kill you?"

Jiang Xiaohe pinched her collar tightly: "Master Chang is not such a mean person, right?"

"Do you want me to be so mean?"

Jiang Xiaohe looked at him unnaturally: "This joke is not very funny."

Chang Wei immediately put away the expression on his face, then propped up his thigh with one hand and put his head on his palm: "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who takes advantage of others. I never force a woman to sleep with me."

"Mr. Chang is right!" Jiang Xiaohe said flatteringly.

Chang Wei propped up his head and looked at her: "Jiang Xiaohe, why do I always feel that you are different from the women I know?"
