With this momentum, Jingnan is as stable as Mount Taishan. After seeing this scene, Zhu Pingan was inwardly convinced.
“Many thanks to the grand master, many thanks to the folks, we appreciate your kindness, now the Japanese have not yet withdrawn, at any time there is a possibility that they will attack the city again, the swords do not have long eyes still, it is very dangerous to be on the city walls, the folks quickly go down.”
Zhu Pingan quickly stepped up to meet them, reached out to help the white-haired old man in the lead, thanked the old man and everyone else, reminding the people that the Japanese may attack the city at any time, and that the swords on the city wall are not long for eyes, so for safety’s sake, ask the people to quickly go down to the city wall.
“Great Master Governor, don’t worry about the little old man, he’s so old, he’s already lived long enough. As for us, we have been listening to the tragic fight above you down below, and after hearing the news that your stones, logs, and other defending artefacts have been depleted, we are very anxious down below. This coffin board is made of jujube wood, it’s even heavier than the logs, this coffin board is designated to smash the little Japanese’s head open.”
The white-haired old man shook his head and pulled Zhu Pingan’s arm, letting Zhu Pingan watch the six descendants carry the coffin board.
“Great Master Zhixian, if it wasn’t for your desperate protection up there, we would have been killed by the Japanese.”
“Great Master Zhixian, I carried my family’s millstone, which smashes down better than a stone.”
“My family’s water tank is also heavy.”
People said one after another, displaying their lifted and carried heavy objects and moving things towards the city wall stomping down.
Zhu Pingan and the young and strong people, government officials and soldiers on the city were all very moved and rushed forward to help carry the heavy things. All the people worked together and soon carried the stones, planks, millstones and other heavy things under the city wall stomp.
With these stones, planks, and other city defending artefacts carried up by the townspeople, it was enough to consume for a while.
“Great Master Governor, you guys quickly use some food, you’ve been fighting for a day, it’s not good if you don’t eat or drink.”
After carrying the heavy loads, the people have brought the food to Zhu Pingan and the people defending the city.
It was hard to resist the heavy feelings, and since everyone had fought for half a day, it was time to eat, so Zhu Pingan accepted the goodwill of the people.
“Thank you, thank you, hey, painting? Nonsense! Why did you come up here, didn’t I tell you to hide in the cellar at home?!”
Zhu Pingan took the rice handed over by one of the people who squeezed over and thanked him, after saying a couple of sentences, he suddenly felt that the clothes of the little brother handing over the rice were a bit familiar, and then hit his eyes to see, wasn’t it Painter, a woman dressed as a man, wearing her own clothes, the trousers and sleeves were long by a large amount, and didn’t fit at all, and even though he had painted his face a bit with grass and wood ash, Painter’s iconic bun face was still recognised at a glance by Zhu Pingan.
“Cough cough ……”
Painter was recognised by Zhu Pingan and was taken aback like a ground squirrel, her little mouth opened into an O shape in surprise, so surprised that she forgot to breathe, and she coughed only after she had almost suffocated, no, I’m disguised like this, and Auntie can still recognise me? I’ve tied my hair in a boy’s bun, I’m wearing boy’s clothes, and I’ve smeared my face with grass and wood ash.
I can’t even recognise myself in the mirror.
I can’t even recognise myself in the mirror!
Master Auntie is too familiar with me, isn’t she? Only a special, special, special familiarity can do that, right?
It seems that Master Auntie has been keeping an eye on me all along, and that’s why she recognised me who was disguised to such an extent.
Auntie has been paying attention to herself all along.
Thinking of this, the bun little maid, Painter’s little heart poofed, and even through the grass and ash, one could see the blush.
“Aunt, Auntie, you’ve got the wrong person, I, I’m not Painter ……” Painter finished coughing and hardened her little mouth to deny it.
“What did you call me?”
This stupid girl, Zhu Pingan was speechless, you have shouted my aunt, but also said that I recognised the wrong person?
“Aunt …… Aunt Master ah ……” bun little maid subconsciously replied, after answering, see Zhu Pingan face speechless expression, the painting child only in hindsight reached out her paw to cover her smallmouth.
“Ahem, Auntie is so powerful, you recognised Painter with a single glance, I couldn’t even recognise myself when I looked in the mirror myself. Auntie quickly eat, the food is getting cold, I’ve wanted to come up for a long time, those big-headed soldiers stopped me from coming up, these are all the things that Auntie loves to eat, they are all made by Painter’s own hands oh.”
The bun little maid, Painter, opened the lunch box like a treasure, attentively handed it to Zhu Ping An, like a happy little sparrow, chirping non-stop.
Err.
How to say it, the picture of the meal made by the girl really can’t praise the quality of the food, this chicken pieces are burnt, knife skills are also let the ingredients suffered, cut the size of the different, this cooking compared to Li Shu, simply a hundred thousand eighty thousand miles away.
However
Looking at Painter like a dog waiting for praise, lifting her chin, shining eyes looking at herself, if she was given a tail, this time the city walls must have been cleaned by her, Zhu Pingan really couldn’t bear to discourage her, so, against his will, he piled up an expression of approval on his face, taking the chopsticks and picking up a piece of chicken and putting it into his mouth, hmmm……As expected, too much salt was put in again, salty Zhu Ping An’s cheeks shivered, Zhu Ping An suspected that this girl had not beaten the salt seller to death.
“Well, not bad, great progress.”Zhu Pingan complimented against his will.
“Ahem, it’s not that good ……”
Hearing Zhu Pingan’s praise, the bun little maid painting a small face instantly bright with the little sun, obviously happy little mouth can not close, but also put on a modest look, waved a fat paw, but unfortunately the painting acting skills unlimited equal to zero, a modest scene, live and let live acted out as a villainous look.
“Aiya, really not so good …… ah, just focus on talking, auntie quickly eat, the food is almost cold.”
Baozi little maid painting child happy with a dog like, happy almost forgot to let Zhu Pingan eat, see the hands of the lunch box before “ah” a sound remembered the main thing, busy lunch box to Zhu Pingan hands.
On the city wall, the folks also sent the rice they brought to the hands of the people guarding the city, for a time, the city wall was filled with the smell of rice.
“Kill!”
Right at this moment, the shouts of the Japanese pirates resounded again from below the city.
Zhu Pingan hurriedly put down the boxed lunch in his hand, and raising his eyes, he saw that the Japanese pirates outside the city had begun to gather again, and that the Japanese archers were all ready to take their positions, so he hurriedly shouted loudly to the crowd, “Quickly, brothers raise your shields, hold up your planks, and cover the fathers and mothers as they hurry to get down to the city wall, as the Japanese pirates are getting ready to attack the city again.”
“Great Master Governor, we’re not going down, we’re going to help defend the city.”The white-haired old man led the crowd and shouted.
“Fathers and elders, we appreciate your good intentions. It’s just that having too many people is rather not conducive to us defending the city. Besides, you guys can help us defend the city by helping us collect defensive artefacts underneath the city, which can help us defend the city just the same. The Japanese are about to attack the city, there is no time to lose, folks hurry down to the city wall.”
Zhu Pingan said loudly.
Under Zhu Pingan’s persuasion that “going down to the city can also help us defend the city”, the people were finally persuaded.
Zhu Pingan ordered the defending youths to hold up their shields and planks to cover the common people as they descended the city walls.
“Quickly, you also follow a piece down. If you don’t listen again, I’ll return you to the capital.”When Zhu Pingan saw that Painter was lagging there, he couldn’t help but say in a board voice.
“Eating other people’s food and still being so mean to them ……”
Hearing Zhu Pingan threaten to return to the capital, only then did Painter reluctantly puff out her cheeks and follow the crowd down the city wall.
