Chapter 152 Hug a Golden Thigh!

enough.""Don't speak like that, sister-in-law. During such chaos, surviving is already a blessing. This girl is fortunate, she escaped a great disaster and will surely have a brighter future.""Okay,...People were no longer worried and dispersed, continuing their busy lives.

Chop wood, draw water, help with cooking, the night deepens quickly, and patrol arrangements still need to be made.

Jiayin, like a little puppy, sniffed around Ye Gongzi.

Lao Li still thought she was mischievous and was about to pick her up.

She didn't want to have a good sound but her face changed color, "Uncle Ye is injured!"

All of Li's family members were nearby and upon hearing this, they immediately gathered around.

"Young Master Ye, you're injured How come you didn't say anything, did you rush here because you were worried"

Miss Ye quickly shook her head, "Yesterday I encountered a barbarian, who cut a gash on my back. I've already applied medicine to it, and it probably reopened while I was riding today. It doesn't bother me."

The Li family refused, however. Immediately, Li Lao San and Jia Huan dragged him into the pigsty.

As expected, Young Master Ye's wound on his back was half a foot long. It wasn't some minor injury.

Some guards brought over some wound medicine. Everyone helped reapply the bandages and dressings, then they let Young Master Ye rest in the shed. Afterward, they busied themselves making him something delicious to eat.

Young Master Ye thought for a moment, then asked the two guards closest to him to go to the other side of the mountain and call over the hundred guards who were staying there temporarily.

The villagers were amazed and heartbroken to see these one hundred guards, each with blood staining their bodies.

While they grumbled that Young Master Ye was being too showy, they mobilized everyone to wash the blood off these guards with hot water, washing their faces and soaking their feet. In short, they did everything they could to make them clean and comfortable.

The women were even busier, running around to prepare meals for a hundred people.

Let's not say that Young Master Ye is the great benefactor of the entire village, let's just say these guards are heroes who have slain barbarians, and they deserve to be treated with utmost generosity.

The soldiers weren't polite either. They had been eyeing the hot spring for a long time, and now they just wanted to jump in and take a bath, washing away the dust and blood of battle.

So I asked, "Can I go in and wash"

The villagers were dumbfounded, and in the end, they wished they could slap themselves hard on the head.

They're still busy boiling water Isn't there a hot spring right here already

It's pitiful that they've never seen it before, thinking only of boiling with hot water and completely forgetting about hot springs...

Soon, the pool at the bottom of the waterfall was simply encircled, and soldiers jumped in like dumplings, splashing and laughing, the noise nearly shaking the valley to its core.

The villagers listened from afar, busy and grinning along.

In Li Jia's shed, Ye Gongzi held Jiayin and whispered softly.

Seeing that there was no one nearby, Jia Yin carefully took out a pill and gestured for Ye Gongzi to take it.

Miss Ye smiled and, without hesitation, swallowed it directly.

When leaving the Li family, Jiayin’s secretly given bottle of pills was gone.

When his personal guards were seriously injured or had a high fever, he would secretly slip them a piece.

Only a few were left. They were all used up that night when we saved the villagers at the dock.

Jia Yin quickly poured water for him. She didn't dare use the cups or glasses in the space, only taking a porcelain bowl to pour it into, which wasn't as eye-catching.

In the end, she thought about it and still picked a fruit, stuffing it into Ye Gongzi's mouth to get rid of the bitterness there.

Miss Ye didn't ask a single word, she divided half of it to Jia Yin. Big and small, they hid in the shelter like hamsters, stealing bites. I found it strangely amusing and extremely joyful.

Jia Yin pointed outside. In the night, the two mountain peaks were bare and black.

She leaned against Ye Gongzi's ear and whispered, "Uncle Ye, I want to plant fruit trees on the mountain."

What kind of fruit

Miss Ye chewed up all the pips in her hand and swallowed them, finding the idea quite agreeable.

If you were to sell this kind of fruit, it would definitely be a hit!

"Sure, need a hand"

Jia Yin immediately put on a smile and hugged his neck, "I found the fruit trees, Uncle brought them back."

Miss Ye understood, smiling and gently tapping her small nose. "Little ghost," she said, "I get it. Tomorrow I'll have Ye Shan and Dong Mei come over. Even if I'm not here, you can ask them to help. Outsiders will naturally think it was my arrangement."

Jiayin was so excited that she threw her arms around him and kissed him repeatedly. "Uncle, you're the best! This is our secret, we can't tell anyone, okay"

"Don't worry," Ye Gongzi hugged the little chubby girl, sighing softly, "Your uncle owes you his life. You can trust me."

Jia Yin didn't speak, she suddenly felt a bit choked up and wronged.

A little child, possessing a great treasure, lived in an ordinary farm family. She did everything cautiously, weighing her options carefully, fearing that she might bring trouble upon herself and her family.

But she is also a modern soul, having been influenced for so many years by ideas of human equality, the preciousness of life, and kindness to others. These values are simply ingrained in her very being.

Every time she saw her family and villagers starving, she felt deeply guilty clutching the abundance of food inside her space, unable to bring it out.

The conflict on both sides often left her in a dilemma, and no one knew how much she had suffered.

Miss Ye felt the faint sadness around her. She didn't speak, but just gently patted her, over and over again...

Soon, dinner was ready. The soldiers were all clean and cheerful, sitting around the bonfire, holding large bowls of dumpling soup.

Although it's called "dough dumpling soup," the bowl is mostly filled with Chinese cabbage and radish, with only a few dough dumplings. But it tastes really good.

Sipping on this hot soup and then roasting the biscuits they brought with them to eat, my stomach feels so good.

In Li Jia's shed, the old woman and Li Lao San were also having dinner with Ye Gongzi.

Young Master Ye scooped all the small dumplings from his bowl and gave them to Jia Yin. He then looked up at Mrs. Li and said:

"Auntie, I heard it cost one thousand taels of silver to build a hot spring resort"

Li Lao Tai nodded, “That’s right, Mr. Wen had someone from the Ministry of Works come to take a look. He said it would cost at least one thousand taels of silver. The families in the village could scrape together over two hundred taels, and our family has another hundred taels, but it's still not enough.”

Young Master Ye said, "Aunt, for the remaining silver, I'll take care of it. But this silver is a loan to our family, not the village. After we make money, our family can repay me. However, the profits from the estate still belong to our family. This way, outwardly it can be said to be my property, and no one will come to snatch it."

Having said that, he probably worried that the old lady and Li Lao San wouldn't believe he could protect the manor. He added in a low voice, “The current emperor is my nephew.”

Li Laotai and Li Laosan were both so shocked that they gasped. They had guessed that Ye Gongzi's identity was extraordinary, but they never expected him to be related to the Emperor!

On the contrary, Jia Yin was delighted and couldn't help but dance with joy. Her luck was so good that she had grasped such a thick golden thigh!

Li Lao Tai took a long time to calm down, then said coldly, "No, Young Master Ye, since you've put in the capital, you're definitely entitled to a share of the profits. If it's inconvenient for you, our family can take care of it for you, and you just need to collect the silver."

Miss Ye shook her head and smiled, "Auntie, I don't need this bonus. If your family doesn't want to accept it, just save the money and use it for Funiu's dowry later on. This child is dear to me, I treat her like my own daughter."istened with a nod, becoming increasingly ashamed.He had, for a fleeting moment, suspected that the Li family had embezzled the stipends paid to the wounded soldiers...He quickly adjusted his sleeves...
