Chapter 17 Takes in the Little Beggar
The moon slowly climbed into the sky, reflecting the starry light of the night sky; The wind bent the crescent moon, blew away the white clouds, and blew the ripples in the hearts of those who have hearts. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Yan and the others began to drink after entering the inn, although they had just met, they also talked about everything, and drank happily.
Only Zhang Cang holds his own identity, and he always stops at a superficial level. He seldom spoke, always smiling at a few young people squandering their youth, listening to their wanton words.
Chen Ping also rarely speaks, but he can get to the point whenever he speaks. He has a kind of calmness that young people should not have, but there is also a kind of worry about life in the calmness.
After three rounds of drinking, their words gradually increased. Wei Xiaotian raised his glass and walked towards Zhang Cang.
"Mr. Zhang, you are talented and respectful, and you are the pride of our Yangwu County, and it is our honor to meet you today, and I salute you."
"Prizes, prizes! You are full of vigor and far-sightedness, and you will definitely be the pillars of the country in the future. ”
They greeted each other, and after a drink, Wei Xiaotian raised his glass and came to Li Yan.
"Brother Li, we have a fate to meet, come, do it!"
Depend on! This drinking culture is the same in ancient and modern times! What a tradition!
Li Yan didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly got up, picked up his wine glass, and drank a glass of imitation.
"Brother Li, seeing that you are in the dust, you must have traveled a long way, and you don't know where you are going?"
"My family lives in a mountain village in Shangdang County, my parents died when I was a child, I grew up on a hundred family meals, I met an old man when I was young, and since then I have followed him to learn the art of war, and also taught me a martial arts."
Speaking of his identity, Li Yan unconsciously remembered his past life, his comrades-in-arms, his relatives, and his her. Are they okay from afar? For a moment, Li Yan's voice became low.
"Not long ago, the teacher asked me to travel all over the world and get a long way insight."
When you come to this era, you must have an identity, and Li Yan has already thought of a rhetoric in the past year. As soon as he heard Wei Xiaotian's questioning, Li Yan knew that he was going to knock on the side about his identity and origin, and they did not dare to bring a person of unknown origin into the city during this special period when Emperor Qin's eastward journey was going to pass.
If you don't tell you where you come from, how can people trust you and interact with you? Even Zhang Liang befriended him at that time, and he also had the intention of using him to take revenge, but it was only later that the relationship gradually developed brotherhood.
"Look at Brother Li's unpredictable martial arts, he must be from a famous teacher, right!?"
"Hehe, I'm ashamed, I don't know the teacher's name from now on!"
Chen Ping saw that Li Yan was speaking in a low voice, thinking that he had remembered something sad, so he interrupted their conversation.
"Meeting is fate, come, let's drink!"
Hearing Chen Ping's words, Li Yan woke up from that state and couldn't help but perk up.
"Brother Chen is right, why should we have known each other when we meet, come, let's drink."
Zhang Cang listened to Li Yan's words, his eyes couldn't help but light up, this person is not simple, not only has good martial arts, but also has first-class talent, can say such words as "why do you have to know each other when you meet", how can you be poor in learning?
They drank a lot of wine in this scene, so Zhang Cang drank a little less and remained sober.
Li Yan didn't drink alcohol in the army before, but since he came to this era and drank with Zhang Liang a few times, he didn't know if it was because of the low amount of alcohol in this era or the reason, but he found that his alcohol consumption was surprisingly good.
This time, Li Yan drank a lot, but his mind was still unusually clear.
When they all went back to their rooms to sleep, Li Yan took the remaining half of the chicken, carried another pot of tea, and left the inn.
Li Yan looked into the distance, and under the shade of a tree, he found that the thin figure was indeed still there. When he got closer, he found that he was curled up and asleep, and Li Yan squatted down, wanting to put the half chicken and a pot of tea beside him.
At this time, he woke up, opened his hazy eyes and saw that it was his father-in-law, and quickly got up and knelt down.
It turned out that this thin figure was actually the little beggar.
This little beggar has followed Li Yan and them since they left the tea shop. Li Yan had already realized it, but he just ignored it!
Li Yan touched the little beggar's head lovingly, and asked with concern: "You sleep here at night, aren't you afraid of danger?" There are all kinds of insects and snakes in this woods."
A childish voice rang out.
"Our lives are cheap, and the worms won't want us."
After saying that, he showed an innocent smile.
Li Yan was a little sad when he heard it. How many such people are there in this world? Not to mention here, even in the 21st century, there are many such people in the era of advanced science and technology!
Li Yan cleaned up his mood, wanted to create some relaxed atmosphere, raised the half chicken in his hand, and said with a smile: "Look, this is for you."
The little beggar had a light in his eyes and swallowed his saliva, but he didn't answer.
"Engong, I haven't eaten the two breads you gave me yet, this is enough for me to eat tomorrow for a day! I don't want this. ”
As he spoke, the little beggar took out two breads from his arms and raised them proudly.
"You just take it, and I'll open the meat tonight, satisfy your cravings, and eat a full meal."
As he spoke, he shoved the half of the chicken into the little beggar's hand.
The little beggar looked at the half chicken in his hand, and his eyes were filled with tears, which were as clear as pearls, and in the blink of an eye they fell on the placket of his ragged clothes.
"Engong...... Engong! Eun Gong, don't you want me to follow you? ”
I didn't expect this little beggar to be so smart!
From the beginning, Li Yan knew that this little beggar was afraid that he would be entangled with him and wanted to follow him. Looking at such an aura of a little beggar, Li Yan couldn't bear to refuse. But now I don't know if I will be alive in the near future, even if I survive, I have no fixed place, how can I take care of this little beggar?
Li Yanzheng was muttering to himself how to speak, but he didn't expect this little beggar to say it himself.
Li Yan had the idea of using half a chicken to dispel him, but he didn't expect it to be seen by him.
Li Yan could only bite the bullet and say: "I have no fixed place to live now, and I can't take care of you at all!"
"I don't need to be taken care of by Engong, I can do any job, I can make cattle and horses for Engong."
"I just have that bag of silver, when it's gone, it's gone, how can I feed you, you'll be hungry!"
"I will ask for food, and when there is no money, I will go to beg for food for Engong."
"I still have important things to do, and I don't fit to take you with me at all!"
"I can do some errands for Engong, it's really inconvenient, I'll follow you when you're done."
This little beggar can really stalk him. Looking at his hopeful gaze, with tears in his eyes, Li Yan really couldn't bear to say the words of refusal again.
Seeing that Li Yan stopped talking, the little beggar thought he was angry, so he said with a crying voice: "Engong, you can accept me!" You leave me here alone, and when you're gone, I'll be beaten to death by those men!" ”
This little beggar is really good at playing the sad card, but Li Yan is right to think about it, those beggars have no faith at all, and when they leave, they will definitely sprinkle their anger on the little beggar's body, with the physique of this little beggar, he may really be beaten to death.
Li Yan thought again, he was not very familiar with this era, and he didn't have any relatives, so it would be good to have someone around him to take care of each other. With this in mind, he looked at the little beggar more closely.
I saw that this little beggar was thin and short, only twelve or thirteen years old, and his big eyes flashed with aura.
So, Li Yan stepped forward and cordially combed the little beggar's hair and asked, "What's your name?"
When the little beggar heard this, his heart was happy, and then his heart darkened.
"I don't have a name, they all call me bitch!"
His voice was low, and he grieved that he had no name.
"My surname is Li, you will follow my surname Li in the future?"
"Good! Good! Good! ”
The little beggar is very happy, I have a surname!
Li Yan also smiled, what's the name? Think hard!
"Let's call it Li Xiao! I hope you will laugh happily every day in the future. Do you like it? ”
The little beggar jumped up happily, I have a name!
"My name is Li Xiao, my name is Li Xiao, and from today on, my name is Li Xiao!"
The little beggar said "My name is Li Xiao" three times in a row, and danced happily. But he suddenly stopped, and asked timidly, "Did Engong agree to take me in?"
Li Yan suddenly had the idea of teasing him, and said with a straight face: "I didn't say yes!"
The little beggar looked straight at Li Yan, seeing Li Yan's straight face, he was so anxious that tears rolled in his eyes, and then he looked at Li Yan with a smile in his eyes, and he suddenly burst into tears and laughed.
"Engong, you liared, you gave me a name!"
"You kid is smart, you are not allowed to call me Engong in the future, you have to call me big brother!"
"Yes, big brother!"
Li Xiao's eyes were full of smiles!
They smiled and walked into the inn holding hands.
