Chapter 2 Strange Numbers

After checking his memory, Yang Wu raised his head and looked at the servant girls standing beside him, but their faces were pale, obviously frightened by the sudden lightning just now. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

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

They have been living on the streets since childhood, and their parents died in the Sun Ru Rebellion more than a decade ago. Later, Yang Xingmi entered Yangzhou, saw the two little girls skinny, felt compassion in his heart, and remembered that his eldest son was about the same age as them, so he took them in and let them serve Yang Wu.

The three of them grew up together since childhood, and their feelings are deep, although there is a difference between master and servant, but they are more like brothers and sisters on weekdays.

"Oops, it scared the hell out of me!" Yang Wu imitated the tone of the person in his memory, jumped up a little exaggeratedly, and shouted, "It's really dangerous just now, just a few steps away, we were struck by lightning." ”

"Poof", Yang Liu couldn't help laughing when he saw his somewhat funny appearance, "Childe, you are so stupid, it took so long to come back to your senses, weren't you stupid just now?"

"Isn't it?" Yang Wu nodded again and again, seeing that the two of them did not suspect his identity, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "I almost scared my soul away just now." ”

He stood up, walked out of the stone pavilion, and looked at the willow tree that had been struck by lightning. I saw that the outer bark of this willow tree had been split, and some parts were already scorched black.

"Lightning strikes wood!" Yang Wu blurted out, with a happy face.

"What is Lightning Strike Wood?" Yang Liu, who had a more lively personality next to him, asked curiously.

"Lightning strikes are trees that have been struck by lightning." Yang Wu looked around the willow tree carefully, and explained to the two of them, "Thunder and lightning are specially designed to restrain evil things, and after hitting the tree, there will be some thunder and lightning breath left, so it is very deterrent to those dirty things, and can be used as a thing to ward off evil spirits." ”

As he explained, he folded a small section in the right place, ready to take it back and polish it and wear it on his body.

"Childe, this lightning hit the willow tree, I'm afraid it's not very lucky, right?" Seeing that Yang Wu looked full of interest, Xiao Cui, who had a steady temperament, reminded in a low voice.

"What's wrong?" Yang Wu stopped, glanced at the maid beside him, and asked puzzledly, "Is it because of Yang Liu's name?" ”

Xiaocui whispered, "Childe, have you forgotten about wearing money eyes?" ”

Yang Wu 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 Qian 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 that it is unlucky, it is Yangliu that your name needs to be taboo. Yang Wu smiled and waved his hand.

"Giggles, the slave's real name is not called Yang Liu, the name of Yang Liu was given by Madame." The little girl said with a smile.

"And what's your real name?" Yang Wu asked with interest. In my memory, although the two maids around me grew up with me, they never seemed to have heard them mention their real names.

When Yang Liu heard this, his eyes were a little red, and he lowered his head and said: "When the slave and maid were young, their parents were not there before they had time to name the slave and maid, and they only remembered their father's surname."

Xiao Cui on the side also said, "The slave is the same, I only know my father's surname Ye." ”

The two of them were born with their parents who died in the chaos, they survived by luck, were lonely, and lived on the streets, but they were later taken in by Yang Xingmi, so they did not die in the troubled times.

Rather be a dog in a prosperous world, not a person in a troubled world.

In this era, orphans like them who can be adopted by large families are lucky, and more people have even become the belly of Sun Ru's "cannibalistic army".

Seeing that the two of them were depressed, Yang Wu hurriedly enlightened, "Since you don't have your own name, then Gongzi will name you now." ”

In ancient times, it was common for the master to name his subordinates, and it was not abrupt.

"You?" Xiao Cui hesitated, she knew that Yang Wu didn't read much, so don't come up with any ugly names.

"Do you doubt I can't pick a good name?" Yang Wu said with a smile.

He knew what the two of them were thinking at a glance, and groaned slightly, "Since your surname is Ye, let's call Ye Cuicui." ”

"Ye Cuicui? Thank you Childe for choosing the name. A hint of joy flashed on Xiao Cui's face, and it seemed that she was still very satisfied with the name, and thanked her with joy.

Yang Wu turned around again and said to Yang Liu, who also looked forward to it, "There is a saying in the Book of Poetry, 'In the past, Yang Liu is still there.'" Now I'm coming back, rain and snow'. Since Mrs. gave you the name Yang Liu, then your real name is Yiyi. He Yiyi, how's that? ”

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

After some conversation, Yang Wu gradually became familiar with his new identity, and the small talk became smoother and smoother, and Yang Liu and Xiaocui did not doubt his identity at all.

Today is the end of March, but the weather in Yangzhou is already very hot. Yang Wucai stood in the sun for a while, and his body was covered with sweat.

He hurriedly returned to the stone pavilion and sat down, picked up the fan and said to Xiao Cui while fanning the wind, "It's hot, Xiao Cui, hurry up and get some cold water, I want to wash my face and cool down." ”

"Yes, Childe." Xiao Cui saluted and walked quickly out of the courtyard.

"This is not good in ancient life, when the weather is hot, don't say that there is no air conditioner, even there is no electric fan." Yang Wu looked at the back of Xiao Cui's departure, and muttered to himself, "From now on, I will be the new Yang Wu, and I will start to adapt to a new life!" ”

"Hey, what's that?" Suddenly, Yang Wu stood up violently and blurted out with surprise on his face.

"What's wrong, Childe?" Yang Liu on the side was taken aback. She thought something was wrong, and hurriedly followed Yang Wu's gaze, but she only saw Xiao Cui's back, and nothing else.

"It's nothing, I may have been wrong just now." Yang Wu came to his senses, sat down quickly, and said hesitantly.

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

Arabic numerals had not yet been introduced to China at this time, and the red number was displayed on the top of Xiao Cui's head, which was very weird.

However, by the time Yang Wu stood up, the number had 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 Xiao Cui's head, am I wrong? It shouldn't be possible, I could see it clearly just now, how could I be wrong? He was puzzled.

Thinking of the legends of various abilities in later generations, Yang Wu became excited in his heart, could it be that he also had abilities?

"Calm down! Calm! He reminded himself in his heart, and his eyes quickly looked at the willow beside him.

Yang Liu was stared at intently by him, and suddenly felt uncomfortable, "What's wrong with Childe?" Is there something wrong with the slave? She looked down at herself strangely, but she didn't notice anything wrong.

Yang Wu didn't answer her, just turned his head and looked pensive.

Just above Yang Liu's head, Yang Wu also saw a red number flash away, an Arabic numeral 5.

"There is a number 4 flashing above Xiao Cui's head, and there is a number 5 on the top of Yang Liu's head. What's going on here? Yang Wu was puzzled.

He resisted the excitement in his heart and walked around the stone pavilion.

"No, we have to find more people to verify it." He hurriedly got up and walked out of the courtyard, where there were some guards, just in time to verify what he had just seen.

"Childe, what's wrong with you? Where is this going to go? Seeing him go out without saying a word, Yang Liu suddenly became anxious and chased after him with a worried face.

"It's okay, I'm just going around." Yang Wu didn't have time to pay attention to her now, he just wanted to quickly figure out what was going on with what he had just seen.

When I left the courtyard, I saw six guards standing on the left and right outside the courtyard gate, each with a tiger on their backs, wearing armor and wrapped in black cloth.

These people were his personal guards, and when they saw Yang Wu coming out of the courtyard, the leading guards hurriedly followed up and asked, "What do you have to say?" ”

"I don't have any orders, you can do whatever you want, leave me alone." Yang Wu nodded, standing aside and secretly observing these guards.
