Chapter 14: Brothers Meet
It is said that if you walk too much at night, you will encounter ghosts, and Yue Xi is now sitting on a donkey cart and walking at night, and she is also looking forward to meeting ghosts.
In ancient times, there were no illuminated street lamps on the roads, so when one was in the dark, the night was boundless.
I haven't taken this official road from Cixian County to the imperial capital for a few months, and Donkey Baoqi actually walked in that direction obediently without Yue Xi rushing it.
Yue Xi, who was holding a small wooden stick in his hand and couldn't see how far in the moonlight, sat idly on the cart.
She looked back from time to time, as if Du Sanniang was still sitting cross-legged behind her.
Slowly lying on his back on the cart, his eyes were full of stars, but his mind flashed like a movie with Du Sanniang from the first encounter.
It seems that people are gone, and those who don't care about the past are extraordinarily precious.
Such a result can be said to be unacceptable to Yue Xi's expectations!
After thinking about it, she thought that Han Er would take revenge on the people she had contact with, and even what she was most worried about at the beginning was Ye Miancheng, who had done a lot of things for herself. But the final result was that Ye Miancheng was actually retained for a year, and Du Sanniang accidentally lost her life.
Yue Xi was born without relatives, so she cherishes those around her more than anyone else.
The people in the palace have lived together for six years, and she has regarded these people as her family, burning down the palace and escaping with death, so that they can live as a person in the years to come.
But this is not to say that Yue Xi can accept the sacrifice of other people's lives in exchange for those people's chance of survival.
When she was in the moon, when she stood on the street of Yudao and begged Ying Su to turn back, Ying Su rejected her.
She was very uncomfortable.
At that time, she was just heartbroken.
In the past six years, she has long been numb to the taste of heartache in the palace.
Therefore, the pain will also hurt, and it is only yourself who is uncomfortable, and it will not hinder others.
But when Du Sanniang's burnt flesh and blood blurred body gradually became cold, Yue Xi's heart was broken!
At that moment, she hated Yingsu from the bottom of her heart.
In the story of Ying Su, Han Huachao, and Han Yuexi, Yue Xi chose to quit.
It's not that she's afraid of competing with Han Yuexi for a man, but Yue Xi clearly understands that such a man is not what she wants.
So she let it go.
And just after she withdrew from this bloody story of the three people, she didn't know what happened between Ying Su and Han Huachao, it was their business, and Yue Xi didn't care.
But one thing is certain: Yingsu did not restrain the woman who was as beautiful as a flower and a scorpion!
Before Du Sanniang had an accident, Yue Xi didn't have any opinion on Han Huachao, but instinctively got tired of such a woman who was on the surface and behind her back.
Now it's different, Yue Xi can't allow her to reach out to those innocent people so unscrupulously.
"You can't bear to care about your sweetheart...... Then, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite......" Stretching her arms, Yue Xi was lying on the cart and muttered, but her palm touched something, she copied it and looked at it, it turned out to be the big shovel!
Grabbing the wooden handle with both hands, Yue Xi made a melon-cutting movement into the air: "Han ...... 2. ......"
The imaginary big watermelon in the void instantly halved and overflowed with juice.
Nine hours later, Donkey Baoqi stopped without waiting for Yue Xi's reprimand.
Yue Xi frowned and looked to the side, it was the stall selling sesame baked cakes.
"It's not for sale! Not for sale! In front of the stall, there were two merchants from other counties, who were bargaining with the middle-aged man who was buying the baked cakes, as if they wanted to buy the remaining baked cakes in his basket, and the man turned his head and saw Yue Xi's crying and laughing face, and immediately raised his arms and began to drive people away like flies: "My baked cakes are all sold out!" β
The half-pan baked cake is still hot to the touch, and it looks like it has only been out of the pot for a short time. Yue Xi asked the man to wrap ten in oiled paper, and the rest were fed to the donkey.
Without the baked cakes, the man could just close the stall early, he was happy, and he couldn't stop praising Yue Xi for being good to the livestock: "This thing is better than people, although it eats a little more, but it can work, you can calculate this account clearly, and you can earn more money for it if you eat it well." β
Stretched out his hand to take the basket that Yue Xi returned, the man looked at the bottom of the basket and there were still a lot of cooked sesame seeds, it was a pity to throw it away, and it could not be used again, he knocked on the bottom of the basket, trying to pour all the sesame seeds inside into the donkey trough, Yue Xi put the baked cakes wrapped in oil paper into the baggage, and when he turned around, he saw that the man had already walked towards the donkey Baoqi, she shouted anxiously: "My donkey...... Kick people! β
Before she finished her words, the donkey had already kicked the man back to the stall with one kick!
Yue Xi hurriedly walked over and helped the man up, hurriedly said words of apology, and wanted to pull him to the doctor to see.
The man's legs and feet were dexterous, and he also lifted his legs when the donkey Baoqi raised his legs, so he was only startled and did not suffer Yan Zhan's injury, and because Yue Xi had taken care of his business in the past, he waved his hand and refused her offer: "It's not in the way, it's not in the way, and it's not hurt, what kind of doctor ......?"
Yue Xi didn't want to go, and took out an extra hundred yuan and handed it over, the man still waved his hand and refused, the two of them were pulling, and the money in Yue Xi's hand was taken over by one hand: "I said brother, don't forget it, you can buy him a few more times in the future, don't pull it, go home with my brother to see!" β
Look at your dick? Hehe!
Yue Xi looked up at the sky and felt that he didn't have such a bad taste.
Unexpectedly, he met Zheng Baocai at the gate of the city, and Yue Xi's heart only felt a burst of joy: "Brother Zheng, why did you come here too?" β
"I just came out of our shop and bought some food by the way...... Zheng Baocai was also happy, his bearded mouth pouted and smiled and showed a mouthful of big yellow teeth: "Hey, brother, you didn't say you wanted it."

, brother, didn't you say you wanted to do something, this is done? β
When Yue Xi left in winter, Zheng Baocai's mother was about to give birth, and the family was busy, but fortunately, Du Sanniang often went over to help so that there were no mushrooms on the kang!
Therefore, she did not tell him her identity and later arrangements, one of the most important of which was that she was afraid that it would be no good for him to know the truth.
"Also...... It didn't work neatly. After thinking about it, Yue Xi had no choice but to reply vaguely.
"What's the matter? It's convenient to talk to my brother about wow? Zheng Baocai waved his hand at the man selling baked cakes, and pulled Yue Xi towards the donkey cart: "Let's go home and go." β
"I haven't said hello to Brother Zheng yet!" When Yue Xi arrived in the imperial capital, she was hesitant to find Zheng Baocai to ventilate, but now she happened to meet her, which made her less entangled: "I remember that my sister-in-law can be said to like a girl." β
"Haha!" Zheng Baocai sat on the other side of the donkey cart, and first laughed loudly before saying proudly: "She likes girls, my brother thinks that this baby is better to have another boy, but my brother's seed is good!" No, it's a son again! β
"Huh!" Yue Xi laughed with him a few times and then put it away, thinking about the body of the dog mother, she pretended to ask casually: "How is my sister-in-law's body, can she be raised?" β
"Alas!" Yue Xi's words made Zheng Baocai sigh, and his expression immediately dimmed: "It's just to survive......
"......" Yue Xi was shocked, opened his mouth to persuade him, and felt that there was really nothing to persuade for this kind of thing.
"You already knew this was the result, didn't you?" Zheng Baocai scratched his scalp with both hands, and without waiting for Yue Xi's reply, he said the result: "At that time, you invited Prince Chengping to come over to check my daughter-in-law's pulse, and I knew that she might be bad......
After experiencing Du Sanniang's death, and hearing Zheng Baocai talk about this, Yue Xi suddenly felt that he was very blocked. She shut up and had no interface.
After a few long sighs, Zheng Baocai suddenly said loudly: "I forgot to buy chicken, my brother was so happy to see you visiting, I forgot to buy bamboo shoots and chicken for your sister-in-law!" β
The lady of the Zheng family is now terminally ill and is not interested in anything, she recently ate bamboo shoots and chickens from a stall at the gate of the city, she didn't eat much, and ate at most two small wings at a meal, but even so Zheng Baocai was very happy, and she would bring one back to her daughter-in-law to eat after work these two days.
After returning to the stall in front of the city gate and buying bamboo shoots and chicken, Yue Xi went into the city to buy two jars of wine and put them in the car, and the two of them got on the road from scratch and went straight to Zheng's house.
"Has anyone come to the shop to inquire about me lately?" After the grandmother's temple, turn another street to the Zheng family, Yue Xi saw that there were no pedestrians on the road, so he asked.
"It was a long time ago. Especially in February and March, there are always some people who come to the shop to ask if the owner is there. Zheng Baocai glanced at her and asked tentatively, "Isn't my brother in trouble?" β
"What can I do?" Yue Xi smiled disappreδΈι¨ly, pulled the reins to make the donkey Baoqi stop at the door of the Zheng family, she inserted the small wooden stick that drove the donkey into the collar of Zheng Baocai's clothes, and turned around to lift the wine jar on the car, and took the oiled paper bag wrapped in bamboo shoots and chicken, and walked over with a smile on her face towards the old man who was standing at the door with a long neck and a big white goose standing at the door: "Uncle, I came to see you!" β
Father Zheng saw Yue Xi coming over with a smile when he was far away, and the old man also smiled: "The Yue family is a descendant, but you haven't come yet, why did you go?" β
"I made a business and went on a long trip." Yue Xi held the wine jar in his hand and sent it to Father Zheng's body with both hands: "This is to honor your old man!" β
"Well, I'll take it." Father Zheng is a real person, took the wine jar and beckoned Yue Xi to walk to the courtyard: "Just eat at home, I'll cook everything." β
"You cooked it?" As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a large pot of pig-like food on the small dining table, and Yue Xiyan said insincerely: "The craftsmanship is really good...... It smells good! β
"If you like to eat, eat more!" Father Zheng smiled and put the wine jar on the table, and served a big bowl to Yue Xi with a spoon: "Just say it, don't look at the food I cooked, in fact, I don't like to eat either!" β
"......" Yue Xi had no choice but to take the rice bowl and put it on the table, and walked to the front of the main house as if fleeing: "I'll see the children go first......"
"...... coming" The lady of the Zheng family sat at the door of the main house improperly, first greeted Yue Xi weakly, and then asked earnestly: "Where is Sanniang?" I don't know where she went, she hasn't been home for a month. β
