Chapter 17: The Brothers' "Spring Outing"

With money and food, Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song's diet will naturally not be worse, after eating eggs in the morning, the two of them solved half a chicken at noon.

The remaining half is wrapped in lotus leaves, and then some rice is packed in a bamboo tube, ready to be eaten on the way to the county seat.

From Qili Village to the county seat of Fenyi County, with Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song's foot strength to walk half a day, according to Yan Heng's estimate, it is not possible to have dinner after entering the county, you have to eat dinner on the road, after all, the child's stomach can't help but be hungry.

Yan Heng made a small briefs for Xiao Yan Song last night, and sewed a sealed pocket on the small briefs, which contained five silver tickets of one hundred taels given by Ouyang Jin.

Yan Heng wasn't sure if he would encounter robberies on the way to the county seat.

Although it is now a peaceful era, it is difficult to ensure that there are no thieves, he and Xiao Yan Song are very small, and the first time he goes out with a huge amount of money, he naturally has to be careful, and this huge amount of money is still the only capital for his family to survive in this world.

Putting a huge amount of money worth five hundred taels of silver on Xiao Yan Song can play a role in fooling around, even if he meets a thief, the thief will not think that a five-year-old child has any money.

Yan Heng remembers that when he was a child, he and his parents took a train back to their hometown for the New Year, and his parents often did this.

Now Yan Heng can only be regarded as a learner, and keeps instructing Xiao Yan Song:

"When you want to pee, you must remember to take off your pants, don't pee in your pants, you know, whether we go to the city to beg or eat and drink spicy food is all up to you, Xiao Yan Song?"

"Got it, brother", it can be seen that Xiao Yan Song seems to be very excited about entering the county seat, and he ran forward dozens of steps away in a blink of an eye, very energetic, and seems to have completely forgotten that he and his brother Yan Heng entered the county town because his father was in prison and he was about to become an orphan.

Yan Heng had to catch up and grabbed Xiao Yan Song, who almost fell to the ground: "Stinky boy, why are you running in such a hurry, I'll be bored later, I won't carry you, don't you just go to a county seat, are you so happy?" ”

"Because you can see Xiao Lulu when you enter the county, brother, didn't you say that Xiao Lulu is with her uncle in the county, can we also go to see her uncle, and by the way, we can play with Xiao Lulu for a while."

As he spoke, Xiao Yan Song took out a meteorite as clear as white jade from the small shoulder bag sewn by Yan Heng who temporarily gave him a small linen cloth: "I also brought a gift to Xiao Lulu, Xiao Lulu likes these beautiful little stones the most." ”

"Brother, do you say that little Lulu still remembers me?"

"I want to tell Xiao Lulu that I can already memorize the Analects, and I can also memorize some of the Book of Filial Piety."

"I told Lulu that my brother is smart, and I want to tell Lulu some little secrets."

……

Little Lulu, little Lulu! She keeps muttering about little Lulu!

Yan Heng couldn't help but roll his eyes, he didn't know who this girl named Xiao Lulu was, and what kind of magic power could make his younger brother Xiao Yan Song, who would be the first assistant in the future, so worried and chattering endlessly.

"We can't go to the county seat to see Xiao Lulu first, we have to find a way to rescue our father first, filial piety comes first, you can't just think about Xiao Lulu, you have to think about how to save your father, you know?"

Yan Heng can only find a way to lead the topic to business, he doesn't want to ask about his younger brother Xiao Yan Song and Xiao Lulu, and he doesn't want to interfere too much, after all, Xiao Yan Song also has the right to like someone.

"Father has an elder brother to find a way to save him, my brother is so powerful that he will definitely save his father, right", Xiao Yan Song smiled stupidly, then pouted and muttered: "And I'm small, why worry about these things." ”

Yan Heng was speechless about this, but he was helpless, who made himself bigger than Xiao Yan Song.

The eldest can only grit his teeth to shield his younger brother from the wind and rain, while the younger one only cares about the wind and snow.

Xiao Yan Song didn't understand his brother Yan Heng's helplessness, so he still turned around, raised his little hand and asked, "Brother, when can we see Xiao Lulu?" ”

Yan Heng wanted to go crazy and run away, thinking that even if Yan Song was a very popular minister in the future, the fact that he would only marry one wife and never take concubines in the world seemed to be true, but I was afraid that it would take root at this time.

"You have to rescue your father before you can see Xiao Lulu", Yan Heng said and pointed to Xiao Yan Song's little nose and said: "From now on, everything has to listen to my brother's words, you can do what your brother tells you to do, remember, otherwise, you won't be able to see Xiao Lulu!" ”

Xiao Yan Song's head kept nodding like a chicken pecking rice, but then he pretended to whisper and seriously dragged out his voice:

"Brother, let's hurry up and go to the county seat to rescue my father, after rescuing my father, let's go find Xiao Lulu, okay."

Yan Heng couldn't cry or laugh now, and when he saw that he had snot on his nose again, he pulled out a piece of straw paper that had been changed earlier and rubbed his nose again: "The first request, from now on to the county seat, you are not allowed to mention Xiao Lulu again, remember?" ”

"Remember!" Xiao Yan Song twitched his little red nose, and followed Yan Heng forward with one foot high and one foot short.

Xiao Yan Song also did what he said, and no longer mentioned Xiao Lulu along the way, when Yan Heng taught him to memorize the Book of Filial Piety, he did not reject it, and walked seriously while carrying it.

The brothers, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, carried two bamboo sticks, wearing patched clothes and straw straw sandals in the rainy spring, they walked step by step towards the county seat of Fenyi, which looked like they were called Huazi from a distance, but no one would have thought that these two called Huazi would one day turn the county town of Fenyi and even the entire Ming Dynasty upside down.

Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song would not have thought that it would be many years later for the two brothers to return to Qili Village again after leaving Qili Village at this moment.

Life is destined to be a journey with no turning back, fortunately, Yan Heng has not been in this world for a long time, and he does not have too much nostalgia for the so-called hometown Qili Village, and Xiao Yan Song is still young and does not understand the true meaning of "looking up at the bright moon and bowing his head to think of his hometown", and the two brothers have entered their new world with a yearning for the future.

In the 15th century, the air was fresh, especially in the spring when the peaches and apricots were shining, and it was moist and refreshing.

Yan Heng likes to cook at this time, and now he is constantly turning half a chicken in his hand, properly controlling the distance between the fire and half a chicken, and sprinkling wild peppercorns, so that this half chicken is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the aroma is fragrant.

Xiao Yan Song drooled, looked at the roast chicken in Yan Heng's hand, and forgot to follow his brother Yan Heng's instructions to add firewood to the simple stove built of stone.

"Let's eat!"

Yan Heng's words made Xiao Yan Song jump up directly with joy, rubbed his little hands and was about to grab the chicken leg.

Yan Heng ripped it off and gave it to him, while he himself gnawed on the chicken neck with a wooden stick.

The sound of chewing in the quiet field resounded non-stop, and the entire peach garden had more chicken bones in less than half an hour.

"Okay, it's really tired of hiding here to steal my chickens, now let's just settle the ledger together, little rabbit, don't think that if your uncle doesn't treat you well, no one will get you, you hurt me that I can't get your family's fifty acres of land now, and I have lost my prestige in the clan, now see if I don't kill you!"
