Chapter 6: Why are you so powerful!
The next morning, Ji Qiao and Ji Ling entered the city smoothly.
Ji Ling entered a small city in Dongying the day before yesterday, and he was already excited! Now that I have entered a prosperous city like Linzi, my eyes have been looking everywhere, and I am a little busy. And sighed:
"It's so much more fun than my mother said! It's a pity that my dad didn't keep it, otherwise it would have been mine! ”
Ji Qiao nodded silently after hearing this, and was a little touched.
However, not long after the two entered the city, a large group of officers and soldiers suddenly came on horseback, but they all walked very slowly.
Ji Qiao found out that it was Mrs. Chen who was escorted to Linzi City by a prisoner car. I couldn't help but say in my heart: Riding a horse is fast, but Lao Tzu is tired of walking.
When Ji Ling saw his mother, he didn't dare to shout loudly, but kept shedding tears.
Seeing this, Ji Qiao hurriedly stopped: "Hold back, if you are seen by others, you will definitely be suspicious." ”
Ji Ling immediately secretly wiped away her tears.
Ji Qiao said again: "Let's stand in front and find a way to get your mother's attention, but you can't lose your temper." ”
Ji Ling nodded.
So the two walked to the front of the crowd.
But it was found that Mrs. Chen kept her head down and did not look around.
In order to attract Mrs. Chen's attention, Ji Qiao suddenly shouted, "Who is this prisoner?" How like a savage. ”
Mrs. Chen was already yellow-skinned, malnourished, and had lived on an isolated island for a long time, almost like a savage.
Now I've been driving for two days in a row, and I've been blown by the sea breeze, bumpy horseback, and a cloak that spreads out, so it's more like it.
The person next to him also followed at this time and said: "Yes, this person is too shabby!" ”
However, Mrs. Chen still lowered her head and did not look at anyone.
Ji Qiao was a little puzzled, Mrs. Chen should be able to hear her voice! It is estimated that he was in a low mood and did not pay attention.
So he was trying to find a way to attract her attention.
In order to give Mrs. Chen hope to live, Ji Qiao decided to take a risk, so he yelled at Ji Ling:
"You kid, your father and mother are dead! Why are you pestering me all day? ”
After speaking, he pushed Ji Ling hard.
Ji Ling let out an "ah" shout, and at the same time pretended to be pushed very hard, and took two steps forward.
Then he walked back very aggrieved, and grabbed Ji Qiao's hand and made a pitiful expression.
At this time, many people looked at him and saw the malnourished Ji Ling.
Some looked at Ji Qiao with contempt, and some looked at Ji Ling with sympathy.
Mrs. Chen was different this time, and when she heard this, she was touched by the scene, and immediately remembered her child, so she raised her head and looked over.
After seeing Ji Qiao and Ji Ling, they recognized it at a glance, and they couldn't help but get excited.
However, seeing that Ji Qiao had been shaking his head to himself, he couldn't help but not let the tears flow.
Ji Ling saw that his mother was looking at him, and his mood was uncontrollable at all! Tears poured out unconsciously.
Ji Qiao was afraid that he would reveal his stuffing after a long time, so he immediately forcibly pulled Ji Ling away.
Mrs. Chen was in a good mood after meeting the child! But in order not to let everyone find out about the abnormality, he still behaved lifelessly.
Fortunately, the soldiers who escorted Mrs. Chen didn't pay attention to Ji Qiao and them.
In fact, even if you watch it, you may not recognize it, because of the six people who went to Lingshan Island that day, one went to recuperate, and the other five people all went south to chase Ji Qiao and them.
So these people have never seen Ji Qiao and Ji Ling, not to mention that Ji Ling has changed into women's clothes.
......
Ji Qiao and Ji Ling found a slightly larger inn and stayed there.
This inn is a place to eat and stay.
After entering the room, Ji Qiao said to Ji Ling: "In the future, you must not mention your father's and mother's affairs outside, you must live happily, and no one can see that you are like you have no father." We don't have much money, the next thing is to find a way to make money and support ourselves. ”
Ji Ling suddenly hugged Ji Qiao and replied obediently: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”
The two of them had been running around for a few days, and they were already very tired, and although it was not yet noon, they immediately went to sleep.
......
In the afternoon, the palace of King Qi.
Mrs. Chen, who had been tortured to extract a confession and beaten all over her body, was secretly brought to see the King of Qi.
The soldier immediately reported: "Your Majesty, this woman is silent and laughs more and more happily despite being beaten and scolded." Crazy? ”
Zishen, who was standing beside King Qi, immediately scolded loudly: "Stupid pig, she won't go crazy if you go crazy!" This woman saw that her son had successfully escaped, and her heart was no longer worried! ”
The soldiers were scolded and did not dare to say anything.
After King Qi looked at Mrs. Chen carefully, he said to Zishen: "This woman doesn't need to be imprisoned anymore, let her be a person in the palace and clean the court full-time." ”
Zishen immediately reminded: "Your Majesty, what if this woman commits suicide and seeks death? ”
Unexpectedly, King Qi also scolded loudly: "Idiot, she won't die if you die!" This woman's son is still alive, how can he be willing to die! ”
Zishen immediately smiled flatteringly: "Yes, yes, the villain is stupid, and his brain is not as good as the king!" ”
In fact, King Qi is psychologically clear: no matter how hard she tortures to extract a confession, this woman will not tell her son's whereabouts; It's better to keep a living mouth and make a bargaining chip, which may come in handy in the future; Locked in prison, in case of death, it is worthless.
Letting her clean the court is also a bait to see who will have a secret relationship with her.
......
It wasn't until after the sun went down that Ji Qiao and Ji Ling woke up.
After dinner, Ji Qiao thought to himself: The inn is a mixed place, and it is easy to inquire about the news, so it is better to get an errand here first, find out the situation in Linzi City, and make plans in the future.
So he immediately took Ji Ling to the shopkeeper and asked directly, "Boss, are you a bad guy?" ”
The boss didn't reply, but asked rhetorically, "Do you think my business is very hot?" ”
Ji Qiao looked at the people eating, shook his head and said, "General." ”
The boss said very politely: "Then if you still ask a fart, I can't wait to fire the two guys." ”
Ji Qiao was not discouraged, and continued: "It's okay to dismiss two, I'm on top, I don't want wages, you just need my brothers and sisters to eat and live." ”
Ji Ling immediately helped: "I eat very little. ”
After thinking about it, the boss still shook his head and disagreed.
Ji Qiao didn't give up, and continued to fight: "I can also help you do the accounts for free." ”
The boss was very suspicious, and seeing Ji Qiao's dress, he didn't look like a scholar, so he asked disdainfully: "Do you count?" ”
Ji Qiao replied very confidently: "Of course, if you don't believe me, you can test me now." ”
The boss became interested and was ready to come up with a unique skill that he had always been proud of, so he said: "I will solve a problem, if you ask for the answer within three days, I will use you." ”
Ji Qiao thought to herself: How difficult can arithmetic be at this time? It won't take three days. So he replied confidently: "Half an hour is enough." ”
The boss immediately struck and said: "Don't blow too early, I used a bowl to lay out the answer to this question for many days!" ”
Ji Qiao didn't want to be verbose, so he urged: "You are the question." ”
"Okay." The boss replied, and then said very angrily: "On the opening day of my store, I invited a lot of customers. Two people share a rice bowl, every three people share a soup bowl, every four people share a vegetable bowl, and 65 bowls are shared. How many guests do you count? ”
Ji Qiao said in his heart: Isn't it just solving the equation problem, although I can't read well, but I still know it, not to mention that my brain is very different from before. He replied, "I'll give you the answer in three minutes." ”
So he immediately picked up a chopstick and scratched it directly on the muddy ground:
X/2+X/3+X/4=65;
6X/12+4X/12+3X/12=65;
13X/12=65;
13X=780;
X=60;
"Boss, sixty guests." Ji Qiao replied after finishing the calculation.
The boss doesn't know what Ji Qiao is scratching on the ground? It's a mess to watch, but I think it's amazing! I couldn't help but ask, "Why is your fork (X) so powerful?" ”
