Chapter 2 Strange Numbers

Yang Wu raised his head to look at the servant girls standing beside him, but although they tried their best to be calm, their faces were pale, and the panic in their eyes was difficult to hide, obviously the tragic situation of the willow tree that was struck by lightning was frightened, and they couldn't speak for a while. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

These two maidservants are the personal maids of Yang Wu's side, the older one is named Xiaocui, and the other is called Yang Liu, both of whom are local orphans in Yangzhou.

Their parents died in the Sun Ru Rebellion more than a decade ago. Later, Yang Xingmi entered Yangzhou, saw the two little girls living on the street skinny, and felt compassion in his heart, and saw that they were about the same age as his eldest son, so he took them in and let them serve Yang Wu specifically.

Speaking of which, they and Yang Wu can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, and their relationship since childhood is also very good, although there is a difference between master and servant, but they are more like playmates on weekdays.

However, since Yang Wu grew up, the huge difference in identity and status made them gradually separate. The two maidservants grew up beside Yang Wu since they were children, and they not only regarded him as their own master, but also regarded him as relatives. Sometimes when I see him playful and stubborn, not doing his job, he will inevitably dissuade one or two, but he is a bit like the attackers around Jia Baoyu, who want to control him in everything.

Yang Wu was rebellious, and it was okay to be scolded by his parents on weekdays, but now he saw that the closest maid around him was also nagging from time to time, so he was naturally annoyed, and sometimes he would even scold them a few words.

However, today's Yang Wu is no longer the Yang Wu of the past, and now he naturally knows that the two of them are being good to themselves, so he reminds himself from time to time.

As Yang Xingmi's eldest son, it is very likely that he will take over his father's inheritance in the future, if he doesn't work hard to learn some skills now, once he takes the throne in the future, what will he do to govern the feudal town?

"Ah, it's so dangerous just now, just a few steps away, we're going to die." Yang Wu tried his best to imitate the tone of the person in his memory, jumped up a little exaggeratedly, and shouted, "Let's go, hurry up and take a look." ”

"Poof", Xiao Cui couldn't help laughing, "Ah, Childe, you are so slow to react." The slave almost cried in fright just now, but it took so long for the son to react, wasn't it who was detained by the soul just now, and now he has just returned his soul?"

When he said this, Xiao Cui and Yang Liu's faces were much better, they calmed down a little, and patted their hearts again and again, "It's dangerous, it's dangerous." ”

The three of them hurried out of the pavilion and walked towards the willow tree that had been struck by lightning. I saw that the outer bark of this willow tree had been split, but the vitality of the willow tree has always been very strong, and it should still be alive. The willow tree is not tall, it is difficult to be struck by lightning, and even if it did, it should have been split apart, but it is also a miracle that this willow tree is still alive.

"This is a lightning strike wood, which can ward off evil spirits." Yang Wu said to the two with a happy face.

"What is Lightning Strike Wood? Why can it ward off evil spirits? ”

"Trees have been struck by lightning, but the ones that are still alive are lightning-struck wood. Because, this thunder and lightning is specially designed to restrain evil things, and now the breath of this thunder and lightning remains on the lightning wood, which is naturally very deterrent to those dirty things, so it can be used as a house magic object. While explaining, Yang Wu chose a suitable place on the willow tree and folded it for three minutes, ready to take it back to process it and wear it.

Xiao Cui said a little timidly, "But, this is a willow tree?!" I'm afraid it's not appropriate to wear it on my body, right? Yang Liu also nodded again and again.

"What's wrong?"

Xiaocui and Yang Liu glanced at each other, and there was a hint of hesitation in each other's eyes, and then they whispered, "Childe, have you forgotten to wear money eyes?" ”

Yang Wu thought for a moment before he suddenly realized, and he couldn't cry or laugh. It turned out that Yang Xingmi and Zhenhai Jiedu, who were entrenched in Zhejiang, made the relationship between Qian Biao tense and attacked each other all year round. Yang Xingmi asked people to use a rope to make money guan (a rope that wears money), which is called "wearing money eyes". And Qian Biao was not to be outdone, and every year he asked people to cut down willow trees with big axes, calling it "chopping poplar heads".

"It's okay, it's okay, the willow is also a willow tree after all, and it is not a poplar tree. My family name is Yang, what does it have to do with willow? If you want to say taboo, but your name needs to be taboo. Yang Wu said disapprerovingly.

"Giggles, the slave's real name is not called Yang Liu, the name of Yang Liu was given by Madame."

"And what's your real name?" Yang Wu blurted out and asked.

Yang Liu's eyes were a little red, and he said in a low voice: "My parents were no longer there when the slave was young, and everyone called me Yaya at that time, and I didn't have any serious names. But I know what the surname is."

Xiao Cui on the side was also a little depressed, "The slave doesn't have a serious name, she only knows her surname Ye." ”

Yang Wu knew that the two of them remembered the life of living on the streets when they were children, and they felt a little uncomfortable. In the Sun Ru Rebellion more than ten years ago, human life was really worse than dogs, parents like the two were gone, and those who were finally adopted by Yang Xingmi on the streets were lucky, and more people had already become a pile of dry bones, and even some were even more miserable into the wombs of the soldiers in Sun Ru's army.

Sure enough, it is better to be a dog in a prosperous world than a person in a troubled world.

Yang Wu had the heart to enlighten the two, "Since you don't have your own name, then I'll give you a name." ”

"You?" Xiaocui hesitated a little, not that she couldn't accept Yang Wu's name, in this era, it was a glorious thing for the master's family to give a name to the slave. But what worries them is Yang Wu's ability to choose a name, but she knows that Yang Wu doesn't read much, what good name can he come up with?

"What? Doubt I can't pick a good name? Yang Wu knew what the two of them thought at a glance, "Since your surname is Ye, let's call Ye Cuicui" He thought of a name for her while speaking, which was just right for a girl.

"Ye Cuicui?" It could be seen that Xiaocui was still very satisfied with the name, and thanked her happily, "Thank you for choosing the name." ”

Yang Wu turned around again and said to Yang Liu, who was looking forward to it, "There is a saying in the Book of Poetry, I used to be in the past, and Yang Liu is still there." Now I'm back, rain and snow. Your name is Yiyi, He Yiyi, how about it. ”

"Thank you, Childe, for choosing the name." Yang Liu also thanked him with joy on his face.

After this name, Yang Wu gradually became familiar with his new identity, and the conversation between chatting became smoother and smoother, and asked some things that were not very clear in his memory, and then said, "It's only the end of March now, and the weather in Yangzhou is so hot, Xiaocui, you go get some water, I want to wash my face first, and then calm down and read a book." ”

"Yes, Childe." Xiao Cui saluted, slowly exited the stone pavilion, and walked outside the courtyard.

Yang Wu silently looked at Xiao Cui's departing back, and his eyes gradually became deeper.

"From now on, I will be the new Yang Wu!" Yang Wu secretly admonished himself.

"Hey, what's that?" Suddenly, Yang Wu blurted out violently, his face full of surprise.

"What's wrong, Childe?" Yang Liu on the side was also taken aback, thinking that something was wrong, he hurriedly asked, and looked at Yang Wu's gaze, but found nothing.

"It's nothing, I may have been wrong just now." Yang Wu was a little distracted.

It turned out that just now he saw a red number 4 on the top of Xiao Cui's head, and it was an Arabic numeral that Yang Wu was familiar with, although it was a flash, but it was very clear.

Arabic numerals have not yet been introduced to China at this time, not to mention that these two numbers are displayed on the top of the heads of the two women, which is as weird as it is. When Yang Wu stood up and looked again, the number quickly disappeared, but Yang Wu believed that he was absolutely not wrong just now.

"What's going on? First inexplicably crossed over to this Yang Wu's body, and now inexplicably saw a number on the top of Xiaocui's head, could it be that I read it wrong? It shouldn't be possible, I could see it clearly just now, how could I be wrong? ”

Thinking of the various special abilities of the protagonists in many time-traveling novels in later generations, Yang Wu couldn't help but get excited in his heart, could it be a special ability? After all, even the thing of crossing has appeared, and no matter what special ability there is, it is acceptable, but I don't know what my special ability is?

"Calm down! Calm! Yang Wu kept reminding himself in his heart, "Well, it's nothing, I'm going to read a book." After speaking, Yang Wu returned to the pavilion and sat down, picked up a book and pretended to be, but his eyes looked at Yang Liu with a strange expression. Yang Liu was stared at by him in a divine way, and he was suddenly full of discomfort, but fortunately, Yang Wu stared at her for about five or six seconds before turning his head.

Sure enough, just now on the top of Yang Liu's head, Yang Wu also saw a red number flashing away, which was an Arabic numeral 5.

"The number 4 on Xiao Cui's head is on top of Yang Liu's head, but the number 5 on Yang Liu's head is on top of it. But what exactly do these two numbers mean? Yang Wu was puzzled, but he knew that he did have some special abilities, and the two numbers were the size of a palm, which appeared extremely clear on the top of the heads of the two women, and it was definitely not an illusion.

Holding back the excitement in his heart, Yang Wu couldn't read anymore, he hurriedly got up and walked outside the courtyard, he wanted to find more people to observe and study.

"Childe, where are you going? The king said that he wanted you to read well and not leave this courtyard. Yang Liu behind was in a hurry, and chased after him with a worried face.

"It's okay, I'm just going to walk around." Where can Yang Wu still take care of Yang Xingmi's words now, at this moment in his heart, he just wants to quickly figure out the meaning of these numbers.

As soon as I left the courtyard, I saw six warriors standing on the left and right outside the courtyard gate, each with a tiger on their backs, wearing black armor, holding a Tang sword in one hand and a spear in the other. These warriors were Yang Wu's personal guards, and they were ordered by Yang Xingmi to protect him while grounding him here.

"Childe, the king has a life, let you study quietly, and please don't embarrass the little ones." As soon as he saw Yang Wu coming out of the courtyard, the leading guards came up to stop him.

"I don't go out, I'll look at the door. Do whatever you have to do, and leave me alone. ”

Yang Wu looked helpless, but fortunately, his purpose was just to find some people to observe. When the guards saw that he was really just standing at the door, they didn't say anything.
