Remember [ ] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
In the deep mountains and forests, the deathly silence, Ye Chen was looking up at the starry sky, only frowning and silent.
Looking at the old man with the child on his back, his face was pale, and he didn't dare to make a sound, this demeanor obviously recognized Ye Chen as a robber, his son and daughter-in-law were killed by the robbers, only he and his grandson survived, at this moment, he wanted to escape, but unfortunately he was old and twilight, and he was powerless, but, in his eyes, Ye Chen, the robber, seemed to be different from other robbers, blocking his way, but he didn't say a word, just put his head up, I don't know what he was looking at.
Could it be that this robber wants me to take the initiative to give me money? The old man thought in his heart, but now that he has nothing to eat, how can he have any money.
After three or five seconds, he gritted his teeth, put his hand into his arms, and took out a steamed bun tremblingly, which was shriveled and shriveled, which was the only ration left for him and his grandson.
"Well... Good man, you are merciful and let my grandfather and grandson go. The old man held the steamed bun in both hands and handed it to Ye Chen, his tone trembling, almost pleading.
Ye Chen's thoughts were interrupted, and he finally closed his eyes from nothingness, seeing the old man like this, he instantly understood what his intentions were, and couldn't help laughing, "Old man, I'm not a robber." ”
Hearing this, the old man was stunned for a moment, and then he was a little excited, since he was not a robber, then he didn't have to contribute rations, and he could save his life.
"Grandpa, I'm hungry. The child whispered, Xu saw the shriveled steamed bun, swallowed saliva vigorously, and the little belly gurgling, it seemed that he was hungry.
The old man smiled, broke a piece and stuffed it into the child, and put the remaining half back in his arms.
The child was very excited, two little hands holding the steamed bun, burying the little head, opening the mouth to bite, but the steamed bun was too hard, he was like gnawing bones, occasionally biting off a small piece, chewing hard, desperately swallowing into the stomach.
Ye Chen's heart was touched, this child was not only hungry, this was crazy! How similar to when he was a child, he was crazy when he was hungry, no matter what it was, as long as he could fill his stomach, even if it was cockroaches and insects, or grass roots and tree bark, he would desperately stuff it into his mouth.
In a moment's trance, he subconsciously stretched out his hand and took a piece of osmanthus cake from his baggage, which he bought in a small town earlier, and it tasted good, at least, compared to the shriveled steamed bun, this osmanthus cake was much softer.
"Here, eat this. Ye Chen smiled, squatted down, took the child's steamed bun, handed over the osmanthus cake, and then touched the child's little head.
The little guy's eyes lit up, mainly because the osmanthus cake was fragrant, and it was delicious when he smelled it.
He was very sensible and did not take it immediately, but looked at his grandfather first.
"Eat!" said the old man, smiling gently.
The little guy took it, and he was very filial, broke the osmanthus cake in half, and stuffed it to the old man, "Grandpa, you eat." ”
"Grandpa is not hungry. The old man's eyes were full of kindness, and he pushed back again.
Ye Chen looked at the dry cough, because he wanted to take a few more pieces, but the embarrassing thing was that there was only one piece of osmanthus cake left, and there was nothing to eat all over his body.
Ay!
With a sigh, Ye Chen turned around, there was no shadow in an instant, it was only three seconds before and after, and he came back with a whoosh, and the old man who was watching was stunned for a while, thinking it was haunted?
Looking at Ye Chen's hand again, there are two more pheasants, and there is still hot blood dripping at the moment, at a glance, you can see that it has just been called, but this speed surprised the old man, when he was young, he was hunting, in order to catch a pheasant, he could run for several miles, and he may not be able to catch it, the one in front of him is good, only three or two seconds before and after, and it is a little too fast.
"Are you from the rivers and lakes?" the old man murmured softly, not yet shaking his senses.
Here, Ye Chen was already busy, carrying a sword in his hand, cutting out a stone pot, three stone bowls, plus a soup spoon, and then, the bonfire was lit, the stone pot rack was filled with water, Ye Chen divided the two pheasants by two, plucked the hair of the two pheasants, and after disemboweling it, cut it into pieces, and put it into the stone pot.
Seeing each other is fate, and the grandfather and grandson have to have a full meal.
Soon, the broth was boiling, and the aroma of the meat was overflowing, wafting all over the mountains and forests.
Now, not only the children, but even the old man was swallowing his saliva violently, not knowing when he smelled the meat last time.
"Grandpa, I want to eat meat. The child pursed his mouth.
"Obedient. As he spoke, the old man took the child into his arms, fearing that the child would not be sensible, so he ran over by himself.
"Don't be stunned, come here!" Not far away, Ye Chen beckoned the old man and children while stirring the broth with a spoon.
When the old man heard this, he hesitated for a moment, and then came over with the child in his arms.
"There's nothing to do, just make do with it. Ye Chen filled two bowls, half broth and half chicken, steaming hot, and when he was done, he handed over a pair of chopsticks made of tree branches.
"Thank you. The old man was grateful, and hurriedly took it, although he was also hungry to the point of madness, but he still did not forget to feed his grandson first, and only when he was pumping space, he drank two mouthfuls of broth, and the little one ate it even more.
"Don't burn, it's more. Ye Chen smiled, but he didn't forcibly stop it, he knew too well what it felt like to be hungry and crazy, whether it was hot or not, whether it was bones or meat.
The amount of food of the grandfather and grandson is not ordinarily large, and the meat of the two pheasants does not seem to be enough, and Ye Chen, who is engaged, is not embarrassed to eat meat, so he drinks two bowls of soup.
I don't know when, the grandfather and grandson were full of burping, the belly of the little guy was round, the old man was similar, and the most important thing was that the spirit of the two was much more radiant than before.
"Thank you, young man. The old man had tears in his eyes and was sincerely grateful, "It's hard to escape, and it's the first time I've eaten so much." ”
"Get married. Ye Chen said and handed over the wine gourd.
The old man hurriedly wiped his hands on his clothes, carefully took it, and then raised his head and poured it violently, the wine tasted very strong, but it was also bitter, and the old man who drank it was in tears, as if he remembered the sad things, remembered his bitter wife, son and daughter-in-law.
After a long time, the old man accepted his sad thoughts, wiped his old tears with his sleeve, and returned the wine jug to Ye Chen, "Let Xiaoyou smile." ”
Ye Chen smiled, did not speak, more concerned about the child in the old man's arms, the kung fu of a meal, he had peeped at the child dozens of times, nothing surprising, only the natal soul, exactly the same as the prince of Qi.
Whether this ancient star has reincarnation or not, he is not sure, he needs to continue to verify, if there are people like children, then most of them have reincarnation.
"Xiaoyou, you are well-informed, and you know how to go to Zhuxian Town. While Ye Chen was thinking, the old man leaned closer and asked in a low voice.
"From here to the south, about two or three hundred miles. Ye Chen smiled, the guess in his heart was not wrong, this grandfather and grandson traveled all the way, and they really wanted to take refuge in Zhuxian Town, compared to the war in the outside world, Zhuxian Town can be called a paradise, and its reputation has spread all over the world, in the past three years, I don't know how many people have fled there, if it is him, he will also go.
The old man's face was ugly, and he subconsciously hugged the child tightly, the distance of two or three hundred miles was too far away for him in the twilight, maybe he couldn't go to Zhuxian Town, so he starved to death in the middle of the road, and there were robbers along the way, he didn't dare to think about it.
"I'm also going to Zhuxian Town to find an old friend, why don't you go with a companion?" Ye Chen smiled at the old man.
Hearing this, the old man's eyes lit up instantly, and he was excited, there was a Jianghu person as a companion, it would be much safer, he was not afraid of death, he was afraid that his grandson would also suffer with him, this is the last single seedling of his family, and he can't cut off his children and grandchildren.
"Rest early and hit the road tomorrow. Ye Chen smiled, turned around and walked away, sat under an old tree, and fell asleep.
The old man took a deep breath, could not hide his joy, found a pile of dry grass, and fell asleep with his grandson in his arms, sleeping peacefully.
He closed his eyes, but on the other side, Ye Chen opened his eyes, looking at the child in the old man's arms, and did not think that this was an accident, this ancient star must hide unknown secrets, and the reason why he wanted to go with him was to study the child carefully, and he could find some clues.
There was no word all night, and dawn in the blink of an eye.
In the early morning, the warm sun poured down, and Ye Chen stretched his waist to get up, full of energy.
On the other side, the old man also picked up the child and slept soundly all night, and the grandfather and grandson were also full of energy, especially the old man, full of energy, his mission was to send his grandson to Zhuxian Town, as for his own life and death, he had already looked down on it.
"Come, I'll hold it. Ye Chen stepped forward, took the child, and put it on his shoulder, whether the child is the reincarnated son of the King of Qi or not, it doesn't matter, the past is the past, and he will not chase after this life.
The old man hurriedly followed with the trunk of the dead tree.
Re-entering the mountain forest trail, Ye Chen picked a lot of wild fruits to temporarily satisfy his hunger.
Tyre!
When he walked to the depths of the mountains and forests, a cry suddenly sounded, and then, he saw a bunch of people rushing out from the oblique side, all holding weapons, the leader was a bearded reckless man, with a scar on his face, and a ghost-headed knife in his hand, his eyes were red, and his expression was fierce.
The old man's body trembled, and he was very frightened, and the child sitting on Ye Chen's shoulder was also frightened.
"I opened this road, I planted this tree, and I wanted to start from ...... ”
"Smack!"
Before the reckless man's jargon was finished, he heard the crisp applause, and when he was done, he saw that the guy flew out, and the whole big character on the board was pasted on the rock wall, and it didn't fall for a long time.
Boom!
The reckless little brothers collectively swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then dispersed in fright.
It was Ye Chen who made the shot, why are you also urine, and you dare to rob me? There are so many people in the world, you are the best, for this number, he has always been very direct, can do it, and is definitely not noisy.
The saddest thing is that bearded and reckless man, who has been blocking the road and robbing for so many years, and it is the first time he has been so embarrassed, at least he has to wait for me to finish speaking!
The old man was also shocked, his heart was pounding, and he felt that he had been closed by the ghost gate, if Ye Chen was not there, most of their grandfather and grandson would have been exposed to the wilderness.
Ye Chen was calm, and from beginning to end, he didn't blink his eyes.
Out of the mountains and forests, Ye Chen's pace accelerated, the old man was old, and he couldn't catch up with him, Ye Chen was very understanding, and he performed light skills, taking the old man and the child, all the way to leap.
A quarter of an hour later, the three of them stopped in a small city, Ye Chen was very generous, found a restaurant, invited the grandfather and grandson to have a good meal, one of them bought three or two new clothes, waited for dry food, and bought a carriage, and then went straight to the south.
"Young man, why is it so good for us. In the carriage, the old man was grateful.
"Get married. Ye Chen still replied last night, he would not tell the truth, even if he said it, most of the old people would not believe it, everything was because of that child, if it weren't for him, Ye Chen would probably not pay attention to these things, after all, he is not a savior.
The old man didn't speak again, only hugged his grandson tightly, secretly wiped his tears, and went out to meet nobles, just the good fortune accumulated in his previous life, and his son, daughter-in-law and wife who pity him, they didn't have such good luck.
