Chapter 4: Chu Xiangling's life experience
"Oh, it's Lang Zhong who abducted the doctor? This is also the case in the next life, Lang Zhong is still Huang Huang or not Qi Huang...... But my leg is basically not cured, so don't look at it! Have you eaten well, huh? After eating, I'll go out and move (work) if you want to rest for a while, lock the door when you leave, what kind of money (valuable) things at home, play is afraid of foreign rats and insects into the house to pick up the ashes for us (don't care why Luoyang official dialect is Shanxi dialect, because I am not from Henan, and I don't know how the ancient Luoyang official dialect is said)"
The old man was about to get up and leave, but Xu Mad was also a stubborn master, and said: "Old man, that's not what you said, you take us in and save us with water and rice, I naturally have to remember your kindness, not to mention how inconvenient it is to walk in the mountains, if I heal your legs, I will repay you for this meal." ”
The old man couldn't resist Xu Mad, so he sat on the kang and Xu Madness lifted his trouser leg to check the injury, but the broken bone did not look like it was broken, but like it was hit by a blunt object, so he asked: "Old man, ...... your leg?"
At this time, Chu Xiangling also came over, and the old man hurriedly covered up the injury and said, "What's wrong?" ”
"Ah, nothing"
Xu Mad said: "It can also be cured, but you need to break it first, and then I will graft the bone for you, and fix it by the bamboo board, and smear it with black jade intermittent ointment, change it every three days, that thing is sold in the city, two taels of silver and a small box, in your case, you can basically walk normally in the last half a year......
"Huh? Half? ”
The old man immediately shook his head and said: "No, no, I live alone in this deep mountain and old forest, hunting for a living, what will I eat if I am sick for half a year?" I understand your kindness in the future, in fact, I'm pretty good like this now, forget it, forget it, I'll go! The old man picked up the trap and bow and arrow and was about to go out, Xu Mad saw that he insisted on doing so, so he no longer insisted, but took a bowl of rice porridge and drank it by himself, seeing Chu Xiangling looking absent-minded, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?" Hurry up and dry your clothes, this place is not safe, if you are approached by the killer, then we will really confess! ”
Chu Xiangling said: "You take the prince to go first, I want to stay and confirm one thing"
"Confirm what? You don't have to look at it to know that the killers are the crown prince, what else do you want to confirm? Xu Mad wiped his mouth after drinking rice porridge, but Chu Xiangling said: "Oh, it's not that incident, it's this old man, I always feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity with him, but I can't say it for a while......"
Xu laughed wildly: "Familiarity? It can't be your own father, right? ”
"A dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth, you are looking for death!" Chu Xiangling raised his fist, and Xu Yan immediately waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, I won't say it, but when I checked the old man's injury, I found that his leg didn't look like a broken fracture, but it was quite similar to the broken bone caused by a blunt object blow, I heard you say it before, your father is a gambler, and it's not uncommon for casinos to break people's legs, maybe he is really your father!" ”
Chu Xiangling slapped the table and said angrily: "Are you finished?" In the absence of a proper line, we are here today to settle the new accounts and the old accounts together! ”
"It's okay for you not to get angry at every turn, especially in front of the world...... Have you noticed? He wears a peace festival around his neck, which seems to be quite close to the show workers in Jinling, and he looks relatively old, and he always deliberately avoids you, even if he is not your father, most of them know you, what do you think? ”
Xu Yan looked at Chu Xiangling, only to see her holding her chin with one hand, and said: "Indeed, it is a little suspicious according to what you say, but I remember my father's voice, and I definitely won't be as hoarse and old-fashioned as him, not to mention that now that our debts with Chase Casino have been cleared, my father should come back even if he flees to avoid debts, right?" Why hide in the mountains and forests and not come to me? He has always been unbitter and always opportunistic, so he was asked to live this kind of life as a hunter who drank blood and hair, I don't believe it."
"The facts are in front of you, I can't believe it or not, the more people like him, the more they like to miss the past, I guess there must be something left in this room to prove his identity!" After Xu Mad said that, he began to rummage through the cabinets in this dilapidated house, and Chu Xiangling said with a disgusted face: "Hey, why are you so rude?" Rummaging around other people's things......"
Yun Guimeng asked in a milky voice, "Auntie, what is the teacher doing?" ”
Chu Xiangling: "Be a thief!" "Qingqing
"Oh? To be a thief? It looks like fun to be a thief, and I'm going to be a thief too......"
Yun Guimeng happily clapped his hands and made Chu Xiangling very speechless, about a quarter of an hour later, it really made Xu Mad find some clues, pressed a brocade box under the cover, and after opening it, he saw a jade hairpin come into view, Xu Mad picked it up and said: "Tsk, such a treasure is worth a lot, but this old man is so poor, there must be some story here, na, do you recognize it?" ”
"It's ......"
Chu Xiangling took the hairpin and said, "This is my mother's thing, how can it be...... Wasn't it already used by my dad to pay off its debts? At this time, Xu Madfa asked: "Actually, I am more curious about your family's life experience, this hairpin is extraordinary, it seems to be from the palace, but it is not a product of my Yun Kingdom, this jade is of excellent quality and flawless, it should be produced in the land of Wu Yue, could it be that your mother is the princess of the previous dynasty?" That's, isn't it? ”
Chu Xiangling shook his head and said: "I haven't seen my mother, since I can remember, I settled in Jinling with my father, at that time in Jinling City, our Chu family made a living by operating a silk restaurant, but then I don't know why the government seized the family property, my father took me to flee to Luoyang, it was ten years, my father also came to Luoyang City after he contracted the vice of gambling and drinking, the family business gradually failed, my father left me and ran away, and then I met the eldest brother"
Xu Yan said: "Tsk...... If this is the case, then this is interesting, "The Legend of the Nations" has mentioned that the Yue country is located in Yangzhou, rich in products, and the land is very little, the royal family takes water as the surname, and the Yun family is the same as the Great Zhou vassals, after the fall of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the wolf smoke in Kyushu is everywhere, the water family in the Yue country uprising, the capital Jinling, in the south of the Yangtze River for three hundred years, 40 years ago was destroyed by the Yun country...... As for the Chu family, it is the gate valve family of the Yue Kingdom, presumably your mother is a princess who married the Chu family, right? ”
Chu Xiangling glanced at him and said, "Cut, why don't you become a storyteller if you are so good at making up stories?" It's as real as it ......."
"Oh, I know it's impossible."
Xu Mad clasped his hands to his chest and teased: "There are clouds in the book: In ancient times, Yue women entered the court, Yingge Yan Yu charmed the king, think what kind of posture that Xi Shi is, if they are like the girl, then Wu Wangfu is probably a blind man!" ”
"You...... I warn you not to go too far! ”
Chu Xiangling looked at Xu Crazy angrily, but thinking about it carefully, those uncles and uncles seemed to have a very strange attitude towards them when they were children, they were very good to themselves, but it was because everyone was too good to them that Chu Xiangling felt strange, but with the past few years of coming to Luoyang to beg for a living, this feeling gradually faded away......
At this time, Xu Yan said: "No matter what, you still want to think about how to face him, right?" Now that we are working for the Hou Ye, if we rashly agree with Ling Zunxiang, we will encounter some unnecessary trouble! ”
"I know, you make me think!"
Chu Xiangling quietly put the royal blue hairpin back into the brocade box, and then walked out of the hut with Xu Mad and walked towards the town, which is expected to be the stronghold of the North Building, and the knights who were guarding here were also relieved to see that Chu Xiangling was safe and sound, and said: "I will welcome the safe return of Mr. Xu, the son of the landlord!" ”
Chu Xiangling waved his hand and said: "Help us find a few sets of clean clothes, and then inform the eldest brother that we are fine, and ask him to send someone to escort the prince back to Beijing, I am worried that the purpose of those people from the beginning is the prince, in addition, go and help me find out one person, that is a lame hunter who lives on the outskirts of Anping Village, this matter should not be made a big fanfare, you can investigate secretly!" ”
"Subordinates take orders!"
The chivalrous man withdrew from the room, and the three of them each had someone to serve and returned to their respective rooms, Chu Xiangling was bathing in the house at this time, but Xu Yan's words made her can't help but think more, could it be that she is really related to the royal family of the Yue Kingdom?
