Volume 3 Pen Knife Spring and Autumn Chapter 357 Possession of the Declining God
So the thieves later found out, and they felt that it was completely because of me that their relationship that had been together for several years was broken, so they blamed me at first, and wanted to teach me a lesson to show the resentment in their hearts......" Speaking of this, Ji Taixiang's mood seemed to be a little better, and he shrugged his shoulders slightly.
"One of the thieves came forward and tried to whip me, but before the whip could be raised, and before it could reach me, the tail of the whip rolled up the ornament behind him, and it fell on the man's own back. The other person was also unwilling, and came over to hit me, but I don't know if it was a coincidence or his bad luck, so he slipped on the soles of his feet, fell and ate, and his nose hit the ground hard, and his nose bleededs. After these two experiences, their big boss seems to believe in this...... Combined with my reputation in Yangzhou, the big boss said that I was a very evil person, and I still shouldn't be too polluted, so he let me go!"
"......" Cao Yi and Tan Yun both thought it was too amazing when they heard it, they had never met such a ...... Forehead...... A person possessed by a declining god but incomparably powerful.
"And after that?"
Ji Taixiang said before that "the first time he went out", and this time because the bandits were sent back to Yangzhou City, there must be a second time.
"The second time I also relied on walking, afraid of encountering bandits again, so I changed directions this time, and then finally walked out of most of the day, but when I was on the road, I met a carriage, in fact, the carriage was not fast, but I don't know why, when the horse came next to me, suddenly went crazy, the person stood up, the front hooves were raised high, and accidentally scratched my head, I was black-eyed, fainted." Ji Taixiang seemed to be unable to help himself, revealing a self-deprecating wry smile.
"As a result, when I woke up, I found that I had returned to Yangzhou City, it turned out that the carriage was a wealthy local businessman in Yangzhou, who came back from doing business outside, out of a sense of responsibility, he saw that I had fainted, so he asked the coachman to carry me to the carriage and returned to Yangzhou to find a doctor for treatment. During the treatment, it was found that I was only dizzy for a short time, and my other bodies were fine, and then the rich businessman later inquired about my reputation, and immediately apologized to me for losing money, and gave me ten taels of silver, so that I could recuperate...... And then it disappeared without a trace......"
"Later, I tried twice, but both times I returned to Yangzhou City for inexplicable reasons, and the third time I secretly hid in someone else's ship transporting goods, and they had already driven out of Yangzhou City, and it happened that a rich boy who was only twelve or thirteen years old was hiding in the ship, and he was still the young owner of this merchant ship. As a result, he didn't hide well, and was found in the cargo hold, so the merchant ship quickly returned to Yangzhou City, sent it back, and then searched carefully in the cargo hold to see if there were any other accidents, and then found me, and sent me off the ship very friendly. The fourth time is similar, it is also a very coincidental but inexplicable return to Yangzhou, and then I resigned myself to my fate, as the saying goes, there are only three, I have escaped from Yangzhou City four times in a row by various methods are in vain. Later, I gave up leaving Yangzhou. Ji Taixiang said as he spoke, and his face showed a resigned expression, a sad face, and sighed again and again.
"Anyway, later, those who I wanted to do as a helper didn't want to hire me, and they even invited me away before I even walked in...... It's been two or three years, anyway, I'm embarrassed to ask others to buy food, because there is no income, and no one wants to do my business if I have money for food and clothing, so it has become the way it is now, if others are willing to give me food, I will eat, and I will not give me food, and I am no longer willing to ask others to ask for it, every time I see others looking at me like looking at the plague god, I really can't accept it in my heart. ”
"This is my story, this son, this young lady, are you still willing to come close to me after listening to my experience?" Ji Taixiang looked at Cao Yi and Tan Yun with a calm face, but he could still see a trace of expectation hidden in the deepest part of his eyes.
Tan Yun turned her head to look at Childe, although she was very sympathetic to the young man named Ji Taixiang in front of her, but in her mind, everything was up to Childe, as long as Childe was willing, she would be willing, although deep down she was also a little worried, this Ji Taixiang would not pass on bad luck to Childe.
Cao Yi smiled heartily: "In my eyes, you are not a plague, you are just unlucky, and you are possessed by a declining god." ”
Ji Taixiang also responded with a wry smile, this boy in front of him is the only person who is not afraid of himself in the past two or three years, and he has been talking to himself for so long, and he himself has not chatted with anyone for a long time, right? That's why I've only talked so much today, and I guess I don't pay much attention to it in my heart, but now I've said more in such a short period of time than in the previous two or three years.
"My name is Cao Yi, I am not from Yangzhou, I am from Jiangning, her name is Tan Yun, she is my maid, we will return to Jiangning in a month at most, are you willing to go to Jiangning with us? I'll find you something to do. ”
"Jiang Ning?" Ji Taixiang muttered to himself.
"Well, it's Jiang Ning, no one knows you there, and no one knows your past, others are taboo and afraid of you, but I won't, because there are many orphans like you over there, and they naturally have their own tragic pasts, but at present, they are all doing very well."
Ji Taixiang's eyes lit up instantly, and he asked in shock, "Gongzi Cao, what you said is true?" ”
Cao Yi nodded, and said with a smile: "Naturally it's true, to say something unpleasant, do you have anything worth deceiving me?" ”
"That's right, I'm already like this, you don't have to lie to me at all, no matter what you ask me to do, as long as I can eat and live, I can't starve, I can't die, take me out of Yangzhou, I will listen to you!" Ji Taixiang said excitedly.
"Yes, then I have covered all your food and clothing in the past few days, it just so happens that I have an empty house on the other side of Chongya Lane, you will guard it for me over there for a while, and when I return to Jiangning, I will take you with me."
For Cao Yi's request, Ji Taixiang naturally agreed, if the conditions allow, who would be willing to eat without clothing, now Cao Yi provides a place to stay, and he also said before that he will provide him with food and clothing, then he will be satisfied, compared to the previous street life, it is much better.
Cao Yi asked a guard to take Ji Taixiang to the courtyard of Chongya Lane, and asked him and the newly hired steward over there to arrange clothes for Ji Taixiang, just like the other male servants in the courtyard. Because the people in the courtyard over there were recruited in Yangzhou, so in order to prevent them from discriminating against and rejecting Ji Taixiang, they also specially gave the guard a token, which was a token specially designed to prevent someone from not knowing Cao Yicai, and everyone was required to identify this token compulsorily.
"Childe, did the courtyard of Chongya Lane really let Ji Taixiang go over and guard it?" Tan Yun tilted his head and asked.
"yes, don't you think he's a wicked person? It can be used as a door god to ward off evil spirits, except for outsiders like us, the whole Yangzhou should realize his power, right? Such a god of decay should be able to scare off a lot of ruffians, right? Cao Yi said with a smile.
Tan Yun tilted his head and thought for a moment, "It seems that this is indeed the case?" Childe, you don't want him to use it to manage the warehouse later, do you? ”
"With his decaying physique, let's use it in other places where it is more useful."
Tan Yun thought about it, but still didn't come up with anything better for Ji Taixiang, but she didn't ask, anyway, in her mind, Childe was much smarter than her, so as long as Childe said it, it would definitely not be wrong.
Cao Yi knew what she was thinking as soon as she saw Tan Yun's appearance, and said with a smile: "Do you think that according to Ji Taixiang's characteristics, is it who is unlucky to deal with him?" ”
"yes, that's right."
"Then what do you think of making Ji Taixiang a guard or someone in Taibai's secret camp? Is it just that whoever wants to deal with us will be unlucky? Cao Yi winked at Tan Yun.
"That's right! Childe, you're so smart! Tan Yun exclaimed.
Cao Yi smiled and didn't speak, he took in Ji Taixiang not because of his declining god possession, but because he took a fancy to Ji Taixiang in the case of so many disasters and hardships, his mentality still did not collapse, this is the most commendable, a person with such a firm mind, Cao Yi believes that no matter what he does in the future, he will definitely be able to achieve great achievements.
