"But even so, we're going to have a bit of a tough month ahead of us."

Li Sicong said, suddenly thought of something, shook his head, and instructed Hu Qing: "I forgot to tell Chen Tai to bring back some more food, and when Chen Tai comes back, you tell him to go out and eat again, this Hou Ye is now dizzy with hunger." ”

"Okay."

Hu Qing nodded, and then said: "It is estimated that there will be some time for Chen Tai to come back, little marquis, you are very hungry, why don't I go outside to get something to eat first?" ”

"Do you have any money?" Li Sicong said.

"This ......"

Hu Qing showed a touch of embarrassment: "It was a little bit before, but it was given to Cui Zhiping, and now there are more than a dozen dollars on me, although it is not enough to buy fish, but it is still okay to buy a few braised pork cakes, if not, I can also order it." ”

"Okay, you better not go, if someone finds out, I'm afraid I'll have to take my life in."

As soon as Li Sicong spoke, he sat down under the pillar and squinted his eyes.

When Hu Qing saw Li Sicong like this, he didn't want to say anything more, covered his belly, and sat aside.

......

A month passed quietly.

Li Sicong and Hu Qing and Chen Tai basically lived a hungry life in the huge Hou Ye's mansion.

During this period, Cui Zhiping came to the Hou Ye's Mansion to send three herbs, but the follow-up herbs ended because Li Sicong failed to give Cui Zhiping money as promised.

In the pavilion, Li Sicong and Chen Tai Hu Qing sat quietly around the stone table, and the hair on the heads of the three people was constantly fluttering with a gust of wind.

On the stone table, on a white tray, there is a peeled egg, three pairs of chopsticks, and a dagger.

On the side of the tray, a teapot, and three teacups

"Little Hou Ye, how should this be divided?" Chen Tai asked.

Li Sicong quietly picked up the dagger, split the egg in two, and divided one of them into two.

"Hu Tent is old, this half will be eaten with you, and Xiao Chen will share the remaining half with me." Li Sicong said.

"How can this work? Little Hou Ye, you work hard every day, and you need more nutrition......"

"Since you say so, then I ......"

"But since the little marquis has to take care of the old guy and me, then my old Hu can only be disrespectful."

After speaking, Hu Qing directly threw half of the eggs on the plate into his mouth and chewed it.

"Huh? ......”

Li Sicong's face sank slightly, then he shook his head, and ate the remaining eggs separately from Chen Tai in his mouth.

After eating the eggs, the three of them drank tea again.

"Hey, I still look hungry."

Li Sicong said, and then his eyes fell on Chen Tai's body: "Xiao Chen, do you want to go outside and go again?" ”

Hearing this, Chen Tai almost spewed out the imported tea that he had just drunk: "Little Marquis, don't call me anymore, now the shops in the entire new capital city are under martial law, and I have been fooled by pretending to be dead and being thrown into a mass grave for the last few times, I heard that the mass graves have been inspected in the past few days, if I go again, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back." ”

"Forehead ......"

Li Sicong showed a speechless look.

"Little Marquis, if we continue like this, I'm afraid we'll starve to death in a few days." Hu Qing said.

Li Sicong drank all the tea in the cup, and put it on the stone table with a 'dang' sound: "Isn't today the day when Dalong delivered the goods that week, let's go, go to the iron shop with the marquis, and have a meal by the way." ”

"Rubbing rice?"

When Chen Tai and Hu Qing heard the word 'rice', their eyes lit up a little.

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and go, little marquis, I'm about to starve to death." Chen Taidao.

Li Sicong glanced at the two of them up and down: "You guys are dressed like this, why are you afraid that you won't be recognized?" They all went to change into sackcloth and then went out again. ”

"Hehe, what the little marquis said is, let's change it, let's change it!"

Chen Tai and Hu Qing trotted away, and when Li Sicong saw this, he shouted at the two: "Don't forget to bring me over!" ”

Seeing that the two of them were gone, Li Sicong shook his head, sat on the stone bench and continued to drink tea.

Two hours later, Li Sicong and the three of them had already changed their clothes, walked out of the mansion through secret passages, and came to the crowded street.

On the street, there is a lot of traffic, and all kinds of shouts are endless.

After the three of them changed their Mai, they walked on the street, but they were the same as other ordinary people, and even a little more rustic.

However, although the street is very lively, for Li Sicong, his heart is becoming more and more lonely and empty.

In Li Sicong's view, he is still an out-and-out modern person, and everything here seems so out of tune.

"How far is it?" Li Sicong asked.

Chen Tai looked up at the street and said, "It's not far, it's half an hour away." ”

"What? Half an hour to go? ”

Li Sicong felt a little bitter in his heart, saying that after the three of them left the mansion, they had walked for about two hours now, which gave Li Sicong the feeling that he had finished his life's road in one go.

"No, I need to sit down and rest."

Li Sicong said that, he sat on the side of the road.

"I'm so hungry, little marquis......" Chen Tai covered his belly and lay on the ground.

Li Sicong also kept panting: "You can eat later, rest for a while, and continue to hurry." ”

Jingling!

A crisp sound came from the ground, but it was three copper coins that were constantly circling.

Li Sicong looked up, but it was an aunt who was carrying a vegetable basket to buy vegetables.

"It's a pity to come out to ask for food at such a young age......"

In the words of the aunt, she gradually drifted away.

"Nima, you actually treat Lao Tzu as a begging for food!?"

Li Sicong thought of a similar scene he encountered in modern times, and felt ashamed and angry in his heart, so he directly grabbed the copper coin on the ground and was about to throw it into the distance.

When several beggars in the distance saw this, they raised their eyebrows and glared, got up and waited for Li Sicong to throw the money over.

However, before Li Sicong threw the money out, he was blocked by Chen Tai, and the copper money in his hand also fell into Chen Tai's hands.

"What are you doing? Give me the money! Li Sicong spread his hands and said.

Chen Tai smiled bitterly: "Little Marquis, why do you have to get along with money?" We might not be as good as beggars now, I'll go buy something to eat and I'll be back in a moment! ”

"You ......"

Li Sicong just wanted to say something, but Chen Tai had already run away.

"Little Hou Ye, don't want to save face, let's eat something first." Hu Qingdao.

"If you want to eat it, I won't eat this food if I kill it."

Li Sicong said a word, but sat on the ground.

After a while, Chen Tai came back happily, eating a steamed bun in his mouth and two hot steamed buns in his arms.

"Wait, aren't you?"

In Chen Tai's words, he handed the bun in his arms to Hu Qing, who ushered in him.

"Little Hou Ye, steamed buns, it's still meat filling!"

Hu Qing handed one of the buns to Li Sicong, and he put it to his mouth and ate it.

"Meat-stuffed buns?"

Li Sicong swallowed and foamed, although he resisted in his heart, but his palm involuntarily took the bun in his hand.

After opening his mouth to take a bite, Li Sicong was even more out of control, and almost swallowed the bun in one go.

"It smells so good!"

Hu Qing exclaimed, but shook his head and said, "I really want to have a few more." ”

"Why is this kid so familiar? So much like the thief who stole our roast chicken some time ago? ”

"It's really him! Damn, see if I don't break his dog's legs! ”

......

A rough conversation came from not far away, and the eyes of Li Sicong and the three of them looked over.

I saw that in a roast chicken shop, five burly men quickly ran out, each carrying a wooden stick or machete.

"Little ...... Little Marquis, something is wrong...... Run! ”

Chen Tai spoke, but he grabbed Li Sicong, who had not yet reacted.

"....."

Li Sicong and Hu Qing reacted in an instant, and they didn't want to run away with Chen Taifei without thinking about it.

Everyone chased after each other, but everywhere they went, it was crowded and chaotic, and the stalls on the roadside were also affected.

"Split, run separately! Hu account room all the way, Chen Tai with me! Blacksmith Shop Gather! ”

In Li Sicong's words, he parted ways with Hu Qing with Chen Tai.
