Chapter 8: All actors

When night fell, in a thatched hut next to the racecourse in the east of the city, Xu Tian was busy for a day, bought some rice wine from the tavern, and bought some snacks. I haven't drunk some wine for a few days, and Xu Tian is also greedy. At this time, I had just taken a sip of rice wine, and before I had tasted the appetizers I bought, I heard some movement in the courtyard outside. Xu Tian thought to himself that someone else would come over so late, so he hurriedly got up and went to the courtyard to open the door.

Before Xu Tian opened the courtyard door, he was directly knocked open by a man. I saw blood flowing from this person's arm, and the other straight hand kept pressing, and his clothes were in tatters. The scene in front of him frightened Xu Tian, and he hurriedly closed the courtyard door and helped the man into the house.

"What's wrong with the little brother?" Xu Tian asked eagerly.

"Please save my life, sir." The injured man's voice trembled, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

"Please also tell the little brother quickly" Xu Tian helped the injured man to the bed and lay down, took some gauze, and wrapped the injured arm around.

"Today, I was supposed to stay in Yangdu for one night, and I wanted to go to Luoyang to find my uncle Wang Yun and make a living. However, when I returned to the wine store tonight, I happened to hear the shopkeeper say that the horse I brought over was a steed, and I wanted to take it and present it to the Mi County Order, so as to open up some connections within the county government. When I heard this, I was immediately unhappy, and I hurriedly went back to the house to pack my things and prepare to run, but I was still a little slower. When they found me, they fled to the street, thinking that some county soldiers on the street who were patrolling the night would come to their rescue, but when they heard the shopkeeper calling me a thief, they also chased after me, and injured their arms in the fight. So when I ran here, I knocked on the door of my husband's courtyard and asked him to save my life. ”

That's right, it was Wang Ye who was injured and broke into Xu Tian's house, Wang Ye did not hesitate to scratch his arm in order to make this play better, but he just scratched it, as for the blood that was the plasma that he went to the butcher shop to get, after all, Wang Ye couldn't put such a heavy hand on himself.

Xu Tian was about to say something when there was a knock on the courtyard door again.

"Open the door, open the door, investigate the thief!" Two gruff voices burst out.

"I'm afraid that if those officers and soldiers don't come to search, don't make a noise for the little brother, and Xu will go back when he goes to deal with it." Xu Tian looked at Wang Ye, who looked weak lying on the bed, and said, Wang Ye nodded at this time, pretending to be very difficult and did not answer.

"Open the door quickly!" Xu Tian opened the courtyard door, and he couldn't see the two of them in the dark night, but saw two "officers and soldiers" covering their mouths and noses, and couldn't wait to take a look at the courtyard. Xu Tian leaned forward sideways, blocking the sight of the two "officers and soldiers".

"Two, it's so late, how can there be thieves in this courtyard, if there is, I will also arrest and escort them to the county office. In addition, if something goes wrong here, although it is Xu Tian's responsibility. Xu Tian said to the two with a smile.

"I don't know Xu Tian, get out of the way quickly, you can't afford to take care of something." Among them, the slightly older "officers and soldiers" yelled at Xu Tian. Another "officer and soldier" nodded and said, "Second brother, you haven't been here for a long time, so you shouldn't know about this matter." This Xu Tian is also a veteran of the county, and the county lieutenant also mentioned it, saying that he injured his back some time ago and did some chores in the horse farm. It's also your own person, so don't be too embarrassed. The slightly older "officer and soldier" nodded after listening to the other.

"It's okay for the two of you to come in and search, so as not to embarrass the two of you." Xu Tian pretended to let go of half of his body, but he didn't mean to let the two of them in.

"Then forget it, I guess my own people won't make any baskets." After saying that, the two "officers and soldiers" headed west.

And Wang Ye in the house wanted to laugh and hold back at this time, it was a bit big and useless to let this Ji family brother pretend to be this "officer and soldier", and the rest of the fool was up to himself.

Xu Tian closed the courtyard door at this time, returned to the house, and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say the feeling, and then asked Wang Ye, who was lying on the side: "Little brother just said that when Chao Situ is the little brother's uncle?" ”

Xu Tian was originally an ordinary farmer, but when he was young, he read some books in private schools with those playmates who were honest at home, and later as he got older, the family found someone to find a job as an errand boy. Don't talk about the Situ that Wang Ye said just now, even if you don't see much in the county on weekdays, people like them who have no background are not very popular. A few days ago, after exterminating the bandits, he suffered a back injury. Later, the county lieutenant said that Xu Tian and his gang were old, so he asked them to make some groceries. But Xu Tian knew in his heart that it was the county government that didn't want him to be a wasted person. I wanted to go back to my hometown to accompany my family, but the way back was too far, and it was not peaceful recently, so I had to do some chores to support myself first. Today, he was counted down by his colleagues that day, and he also worked in the county government, and the difference in food and salary was several times worse. In the past, Xu Tian had a small pot of rice wine almost every day, but now he has to count his money bags and buy them once in a while to satisfy his hunger. I don't think I have done anything hurtful, how did I end up like this?

"Situ Wang Yun is in Uncle Xia, this time I am looking for him, but now there are many changes, and I don't know when I will be able to get to Luoyang." Wang Ye sighed as he spoke.

"What do you call a son who dares to be a son?" At this time, Xu Tian's title for Wang Ye has also changed, in Xu Tian's opinion, most of the people he knows are well-off, and they are a little worse than Wang Ye in terms of skin and temperament. If it weren't for the extremely solid family background, Wang Ye would not have been able to raise such a good talking temperament. Even if what Wang Ye said is false, then find another way out, if he really follows the right person, then it will be much better in the future than nesting in this horse farm where birds don't, and he is not welcomed, thinking of this, Xu Tian secretly clenched his fists.

At this time, Wang Ye also noticed some changes in Xu Tian, after all, after suffering for so many years, he just wanted to get ahead, staying in this horse farm was considered a day without a future, if he had a reputation, he would be worthy of the people in his family.

"Just call me Wang Ye, sir! I don't know what to call Mr.? ”

"It's good to be called a son, but I can't afford to be a gentleman." Compared with just now, Xu Tian was very flattered.

Wang Ye said and took out some silver coins from his chest.

"Gong Xu, this is a thousand silver coins, you take it to buy some wine and food to eat, it can be regarded as a life-saving grace," Wang Ye said and stuffed it into Xu Tian's hand.

These silver coins can be used to offset Xu Tian's income for nearly two years. The past two years have not been good, and the county government is deducting some of them, and that's all there is to it. At this time, Xu Tian felt that compared to the county government he had worked for for several years, he was not even as generous as a person he had never met. This also made Xu Tian determined not to nest in this small place, maybe the person in front of him was his nobleman. If you can follow him to find a half-official position, it is also an opportunity. Thinking of this, Xu Tian pushed the silver money back.

"Childe, these can't be received, they are just easy to do, not to mention life-saving grace. If Gongzi does not dislike it, Xu Tian is willing to follow Gongzi before and after the saddle. Before he could finish speaking, Xu Tian bowed his knees in front of Wang Ye.

Wang Ye had also thought about this, but before he could come up with a killer idea, Xu Tian was willing to come, which... It's a little quick, too! Wang Ye couldn't care about the "serious injury" in his hand and hurriedly helped Xu Tian up, his eyes were full of relief.
