Chapter 325: Before and after the saddle, the donkey
After eating, Xu Yuying went to clean up the bed for Ji Junyue and the others, and Zhang Wen took his two sons to chat with Ji Junyue and the others.
Although they guessed that the people from the courtyard next to them should have met during the day, Ji Junyue and the three of them did not have news from the hall, and even sat in Zhang's house peacefully and did not go out to watch the excitement.
But this village chief's house seems to be destined to make trouble today, at first it was a distinguished guest who came to stay overnight, and the carriage drove all the way into the house, attracting onlookers from all over the village, which finally quieted for a while, just when Ji Junyue and the others chatted without a word, there was a bumpy noise from the village chief's house opposite.
It sounds like people are flipping on their backs, as if they are grabbing something, so as not to make a fuss.
"Huh? This is the sound of a donkey, isn't the village chief planning to kill the ancestor of their family for the guests to eat? ”
Zhang Xi'an pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and after confirming that it was indeed the cry of a donkey, he was immediately happy.
However, this time it did not attract the glaring of his father and brother, because Zhang Wen and Zhang Xitai were slightly stunned when they heard his words, stopped talking, and pricked up their ears to listen to the courtyard next to them.
After hearing the cries of the donkey and the scolding of the killing, one can already imagine the scene of the people on the opposite side turning on their backs.
"Why did the village chief think of killing that donkey? I don't know if the village chief's family was born to ...... with that donkey" Zhang Wen seemed to think of something, and his expression was a little weird.
Zhang Xitai sighed: "That donkey is so weird, how can it be slaughtered by people, I'm afraid that the village chief's house will be made to a mess." ”
When Ji Junyue and the three of them who were sitting next to him heard this, a trace of curiosity flashed in their eyes, and Liang Yu was interested in Ji Junyue, so he asked: "But kill a donkey, what else is wrong with this donkey?" ”
Zhang Xitai saw Liang Yu looking at him and was about to answer, but Zhang Xi'an next to him smiled happily: "Brother Liang doesn't know, the donkey in the village chief's house is not an ordinary donkey, the donkey was picked up by the village chief in the field outside the village half a year ago. ”
"At that time, it was still a little donkey, and it was crawling in the wheat field, and the strange black and white hair frightened the village chief, and he thought that he had met a wild wolf or leopard, and called many people to find out that it was a little donkey."
"Because I didn't see any other donkey, the village chief originally planned to drive it away, but this little donkey was very smart, and when he was driven away, he ran away without saying a word, but the next day he ran back, and so on for several days, the villagers lost patience, and planned to kill it directly and eat it, but the little donkey was so smart that it ran very fast, not to mention that everyone couldn't catch it, and even the arrow shot by my father could make it avoid."
"Later, there was no way, the village chief saw that the donkey was very weird, so he tried to talk to it, so that it would not damage the dealer in the field at will, and let it go home with it to provide it with food, but I didn't think that the donkey really seemed to understand, and followed the village chief all the way home, and in desperation, the village chief had to raise it, and this raised it for half a year."
"If it's just like that, it's nothing, it's just some grain grass and soybean straw, but as the donkey grows up, he actually begins to dislike those coarse grains, and runs into the kitchen to steal meat, whether raw or cooked, and frightens the village chief to be afraid that when the donkey takes advantage of no one at home, he will eat his little grandson."
"But as the saying goes, it's easy to please God, it's hard to send God, this donkey entered the village chief's house, no matter what method the village chief used, he couldn't get rid of it, and he couldn't kill it, this donkey was smart and tight, every time he saw someone trying to catch it, he ran to the village chief's house to hide, and if anyone went in to catch it, he had to squat in, so the action was blocked and the donkey kicked a lot, and now it's so noisy, I'm afraid that the donkey is 'rebelling' again."
Zhang Xitai frowned slightly, and glanced at Zhang Xi'an with some seriousness: "How can the word 'rebellion' be said nonsense, even if you are at home, if you are still so open-mouthed outside, sooner or later you will cause trouble at home." ”
Zhang Xi'an knew that his brother was for his own good, shrugged his shoulders, and responded casually with a smile: "I know, I know." ”
Zhang Wen saw that the two sons had a hippie smile on their faces, and the other had a straight face, with helplessness in their eyes, so he immediately smiled, and didn't talk much, letting the two brothers go, just turned his eyes to look at Ji Junyue and the three of them.
"The three of you are resting here, let these two boys accompany you, and I will go to the village chief's house to have a look."
These words came out, and before Ji Junyue and the three of them could reply, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.
"Brother Zhang...... Brother Zhang is coming out, the donkey of the village chief's house is crazy, and the village chief asked me to come to Brother Zhang and shoot the donkey......"
Hearing this, Zhang Wen did not delay, stood up directly and strode out of the inner room, Ji Junyue saw this, but she was more interested in the spirit donkey, stood up and chased out.
"Uncle Zhang, wait, let's go with you to see, Liang Yi and Li Er will have some kung fu, maybe they can help."
Hearing Ji Junyue's words, Zhang Wen, who had already walked to the courtyard, immediately stopped, turned his head to look at Liang Yu and Feng Ye with some joy, and smiled again and again without the slightest doubt or prevarication.
"That's a good feeling, quick, come with me!"
Liang Yu and Feng Ye glanced at Ji Junyue, and then quickly followed Zhang Wen and left in advance, while Ji Junyue walked behind with Zhang Xitai and Zhang Xi'an in no hurry.
If it was in the past, according to Zhang Xi'an's temperament, he would have run to join in the fun without first running like a monkey, this time from hearing the incident on the other side to now, he has followed Ji Junyue's side in a good manner, so that Zhang Xitai, who is his brother, only felt a little weird, and looked at Zhang Xi'an suspiciously for a moment.
Zhang Xi'an didn't care about his brother's eyes, from hearing Ji Junyue say that Liang Yu and Feng Ye would do kung fu, Zhang Xi'an's already bright eyes became brighter and brighter, shining brightly, like a weird little fox.
"Brother Ji, it turns out that Brother Liang and Brother Li can also do martial arts? I wonder if I can teach my little brother two tricks? Don't look at the little brother who is thin, but he is a master of fighting in our village. ”
Ji Junyue turned her head and glanced at Zhang Xi'an, who said that he boasted of his chest, this kid was young but had a lot of eyes, when he first saw her and Fengye Liangyu, those eyes seemed to be full of smile and innocence, but in fact, they were hiding essence and light, and they were small and big.
If it weren't for his pure temperament, she wouldn't have been patient enough to let him pull around all the way, peeking on their identities from the side.
Now it seems that this kid has long seen that the three of them are not very human, especially the sharp spirit of Liang Yu and Feng Ye, since this kid said that his ambition is to be a general, then his perception of some people who practice martial arts must be sharper than ordinary people, but he is afraid that he will be eyeing Liang Yu and Feng Ye early.
Now she herself said that the two of them would do martial arts, which just gave him a reason and excuse to take the opportunity to lobby.
Ji Junyue looked at him with a smile: "But we have to leave tomorrow." ”
Zhang Xi'an's meaningful smile at Jun Yueman last season suddenly avoided her gaze with a little weakness, only to feel that this little brother's eyes were too deep and sharp, as if he had already seen through all his calculations.
However, he finally met a nobleman, and he would not let go of such an opportunity to ascend to the sky, and he had to fight no matter what.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xi'an looked back at Ji Junyue's gaze, and raised his immature little face with a flattering smile.
"If Brother Ji doesn't dislike it, little brother, I am willing to saddle up for Brother Ji, I just hope to get the guidance of Brother Liang and Brother Li."
When Zhang Xi'an first saw this young man who claimed to be surnamed Ji, he felt that he was not simple, such a heavenly posture, and he was full of noble air, and that temperament was not at all something that ordinary people could have, so he concluded at a glance that this young man was either rich or expensive.
Therefore, he kept talking to attract the attention of the three of them, so as to investigate the relationship between the three of them, and after observing that Liang Yi and Li Er would go to see this little boy from time to time, he knew that these two people must be the servants of this little boy.
And looking at the cold aura on Liang Yi and Li Er's bodies, the aura of slaughter that occasionally overflowed unconsciously, at first glance, they were not ordinary servants, but they were just guards, so he took advantage of the village chief's house to have a guest, and he took the opportunity to go to investigate to make some foreshadowing and ushered in a chance for himself.
Brother Xiwen, but he has been fond of martial arts since he was a child, but with an ordinary family like their family, it is almost a fool's dream to get ahead, even if he has real skills, in this world of official protection, he is afraid that he will not be able to defeat the calculations of villains, and even if he enters the eyes of nobles, in the end he is just a dog driven by others.
So he decided to take a shortcut, first find someone who has the ability to learn the ability, and then plan the next step, no matter what the identity of this little boy is, he believes in his own vision, that Liang Yi and Li Er's kung fu must be very powerful.
Zhang Xitai, who was next to him, was startled when he heard his brother's words, and immediately scolded him.
"Zhang Xi'an, what nonsense are you talking about! What can a minor child do for the little son, it's good not to cause chaos to others, and if you say this kind of thing again, I will let my father ground you, and don't want to leave the house for a month! ”
Zhang Xitai's somewhat gentle face showed a rare hint of sternness, but the worry that flashed in his eyes did not escape the eyes of Ji Junyue and Zhang Xi'an.
Zhang Xi'an's eyes flickered slightly, his lips, which had always been smiling, pursed slightly, and he didn't look at his brother, but looked directly at Ji Junyue, and a bright smile bloomed on his face again, and he said pleasantly.
"Brother Ji, don't look at me as young, but I can do anything, watch the door, pour tea and do bad things, as long as it is something that the boy can do, and it must be better than them, as long as Brother Ji agrees with Brother Liang and Brother Li to teach me kung fu, within two years, I will definitely be able to protect Brother Ji."
Zhang Xi'an looked up at Ji Junyue with a small face confidently, and patted his thin chest with a heroic appearance.
Since Ji Junyue saw that this Xi'an had a lot of eyes, and it was clear that he was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, he naturally knew that this was just a trick he showed.
Ji Junyue glanced at Zhang Xitai, who was a little pale and a little blue next to her, a touch of darkness passed in her eyes, she didn't say anything, she walked out of Zhang's house and walked towards the village chief's house next to her.
Seeing this, Zhang Xi'an's eyes darkened slightly, and he didn't say much about following quickly, but he didn't want to be dragged by Zhang Xitai.
"Xiao An, do you know what you're talking about? You're only fourteen years old, and you're still a kid who doesn't know anything, and your brother knows that you've been smart since you were a child, but the world outside isn't as simple as you think. ”
"In the village, if you get into trouble, our family can help you settle it, but outside, our family is just a powerless ordinary people, if something happens to you, we are helpless, don't let the family worry about you, okay?"
Zhang Xitai didn't say anything stern at this time, but persuaded him earnestly, his eyebrows and eyes were dyed with a little worry and solemnity, how could he, as an elder brother, not know whether his younger brother really loves to make trouble, or whether he is a weird person and a big ghost.
Although the younger brother seems to be naughty and mischievous since he was a child, he is actually very smart, and his brain is better than that of him, who is the eldest brother.
But even if Xiao An is smart, the outside world is not enough to be a little smart, the world is complicated, people like them who have no identity and no status, once they provoke right and wrong, whether right or wrong, they are the first to be sacrificed and obliterated.
He always knew that his brother's heart was higher than the sky, and this small village could not trap him, and he did not want him to leave home early to endure hardships and put himself in danger.
Zhang Xitai understands Zhang Xi'an, Zhang Xi'an is more slippery and cunning than Zhang Xitai, how can he not understand Zhang Xitai, he glanced at Zhang Xitai deeply, Zhang Xi'an rarely retreated from the face of the hippie smile, and said calmly and seriously.
"Brother, I know you're worried about me, but sooner or later the eagle will grow up to leave the nest and soar into the sky, although I don't know where the sky will be in the future, but I know what I want, I don't want to be trapped here, I want to become a general who leads the Quartet one day."
"Ji Yue, a woman can still win the military power in the northwest with her own ability, become the commander of one party, and let an emperor break the precedent for her and retain her position as a general, outsiders only say that Ji Yue has a good skin to confuse the emperor, but I think that a short half a year to become the commander of the northwest, only three months to train a group of new troops in the northwest into elite people, what he has is not a skin, and it is not by relying on the skin to make the emperor so favored."
"Women are still like this, as a man, how can I retreat because I am afraid of danger, I have ideals and ambitions, as a man, I should not be afraid of hardships and difficulties to achieve, brother, I know you can understand me."
Looking at the resoluteness on his younger brother's face, looking at the shining eyes when talking about his ideals and ambitions, and listening to what he said, although Zhang Xitai was worried and reluctant, he could no longer say a word of refutation and dissuasion.
Although he is a rigid person, he is not a rigid person, although he loves to read, but he is not a stupid person, and he thinks the same as his brother about the woman who has become famous in recent months and everyone talks about it.
If a woman is like this, how can she retreat as a man......
In the end, Zhang Xitai could only suppress his reluctance and worry, and said with difficulty: "If you have a way to persuade Ji Gongzi, I will no longer stop it." ”
Over there, Ji Junyue walked into the village chief's house and saw a chaotic scene.
The whole courtyard was full of chicken feathers, a few chickens that had lost their hair flew around in horror, a dog that was leashed in a corner next to it barked wildly, and a strange-looking ...... The donkey, 'athletic', fled in all directions, making it difficult for the sturdy villagers who were chasing him.
Liang Yu and Feng Ye didn't make a move, they stood aside with their hands folded and watched the play, while Zhang Wen shot the donkey with a homemade hunting bow and arrow, but was always flexibly avoided by the donkey.
The entire hundred-meter-wide yard was messy, and the only thing that was clean was the leftmost corner.
There is a certain luxurious sedan chair there, and there is a young man standing next to the sedan chair, looking coldly at everything in front of him, and the murderous aura released from his body makes the animals in the yard who are dancing with demons all keenly retreat, and they dare not approach this boundary for half a minute.
With just one glance, Ji Junyue was sure that the person in the sedan chair was really met during the day, and seeing that Liang Yu and Feng Yi didn't make a move, Ji Junyue roughly understood why the two of them were like this.
Look at the weird donkey, the hair on the whole body is divided into two colors, black and white, one side is all black, and the other side is all white, with the back as the dividing line, it has become the trend of the Chu River and Han realm, and the person standing on this side sees white, and the person standing on the opposite end sees black.
