Chapter 59

When the man saw that it was Chen Xie, he grinned and showed his snow-white teeth, "It's you" He waved his hand, and the sharp knife in his hand flashed in a cold light, and the sharp knife in his hand had been inserted into a door panel, and there were already several knives of all sizes inserted into the door panel. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Lao Cao came over and patted Chen Xie on the shoulder, laughing: "You are so good today, I just came back from hunting in the mountains" At this time, I saw some skinned animals on a table not far away, Chen Xie also smiled: "I really have a good mouth today, but I also brought a few jars of good wine, let's drink a few glasses later" He said and revealed Ah Bao in his arms, Ah Bao looked at Lao Cao with wide eyes, "Lao Cao is my son" Saying that, he beckoned to me again, I stepped forward, "This is my wife", I have taken off my hat, Lao Cao glanced at my face, hugged his fist "sister-in-law" and then reached out to hug Ah Bao, Ah Bao was not afraid of him, after being held in his arms, he suddenly reached out to grab Lao Cao's beard, Lao Cao was caught by him unexpectedly, he laughed "Good boy, good hand" He stretched out his hand and touched Ah Bao's body and smacked his lips: "This is a good material for martial arts." Chen Xie smiled: "If you don't dislike it, I will be an apprentice for you in the future" Lao Cao nodded, "I'll go to you in two years."

After a few more pleasantries, Lao Cao let us into the pavilion, where there was a table and four stools, which were very simple but looked clean. Lao Cao shouted at the house: "Second son, serve tea." After a while, a thin boy walked out with a teapot in one hand and a few tea bowls in the other, the child had fair skin, a pointed chin, and a pair of thin phoenix eyes, looking at us, Lao Cao slapped the back of the child's head: "Look at what, hurry up and pour tea!" The boy rolled his eyes and pouted, and poured tea on the bowl. Lao Cao said: "I'll clean up, you guys talk slowly" After speaking, he took the child's collar and went to get busy.

Chen Xie then talked to me about Lao Cao, the first time he met Lao Cao, was on the back mountain of this town, when he met an assassin, all the way to the mountain, he was left with Li Mo alone, just met Lao Cao who was hunting, it was Lao Cao who killed the assassin and saved him, and then he stayed at Lao Cao's house for a night, the two chatted for a night, and they became friends with each other. Later, every time he passed by here, he always came to Lao Cao for a drink.

After about half an hour, Lao Cao set up a table of banquets, he, Chen Xie, and Li Mo, who came later, drank around the table, and the second son took me and Yudie to eat in the house, and then the guards who came were arranged in a restaurant in the town. The second son didn't talk much, just lowered his head to eat, Lao Cao really cooked a good dish, Yudie and I ate a lot, Ah Bao ate a small half bowl of rice and fell asleep, and he was tired after a morning of travel. After we finished eating, Chen Xie, they were still drinking. The second son sat on the threshold looking at the gazebo, I walked over to chat with him, who knew that as soon as I spoke, he rolled his eyes at me, raised his legs and left, I was a little inexplicable.

On the gazebo, Chen Xie and Lao Cao were still pushing the cup and changing the lamp, talking about something from time to time, Chen Xie smiled very happily, it was rare to see him so relaxed. When Po woke up, they were finished, the guards had eaten and drunk, and the horses had been fed. As we continued on our way, Lao Cao sent us outside the town and waved us goodbye. In the afternoon we did not ride horses, Chen Xie also squeezed with us in the carriage, he took a short nap in the carriage, and after waking up he kept teasing Bao, and at dinner we simply ate some dry food on the road, and after eating, we continued to walk, until the moon rose high, and we arrived at a post house.

The days that followed were lackluster, and there were more than 100 people in our line dressed in civilian clothes, pretending to be a caravan all the way forward, and Xiaoxing stayed overnight and walked for more than ten days, and finally came to the border of the grassland, and saw that the grassland was not far from the place where the mutual market was. It was getting late, and we set up camp in a clearing near a stream, and in the southeast corner of the clearing there were already people one step ahead of us, and a group of people were eating and drinking around the campfire. Fortunately, the open space was large enough, so we pitched our tent in the northwest corner. When we were busy burying the pot and cooking, a young man came over with two entourages to say hello, the man looked about twenty years old, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, high nose and wide mouth, and the two entourages behind him were broad-shouldered and round-waisted, and at first glance they looked like they were full of martial arts. Chen Xie stepped forward and arched his hand at the man, the man introduced himself as Liang, a passing merchant, Chen Xie said that his surname was Chen, and he was also a businessman, so the man warmly invited Chen Xie to go over for a drink or two, Chen Xie couldn't shirk it, so he said hello to me and took Li Mo and another guard over.

After we had eaten, I was ready to go to sleep, Chen Xie came back, I heard him standing outside the tent and telling Li Mo to pay attention to the vigilance at night, he opened the curtain and came in, saw that I had not slept yet, came over and hugged me, I smelled a smell of wine on his body, it seemed that he had not drunk less, I asked him: "Are these people in danger?" Chen Xie nodded: "There are more than 40 people, all of them are strong men, and the person in the lead doesn't look like an ordinary person, I haven't figured out their details yet, I'm still careful tonight, but you can rest assured that I will protect you, you are very safe" I naturally believed his words, and after chatting for a few more words, we rested, and the night was safe.
