Chu Yi did not enter the village, he stopped at the big locust tree at the entrance of the village. He crouched down and asked one of the children closest to us, "Son, is your dad at home?" ”

The child blinked and said, "Daddy is not at home now, but Grandpa said that Daddy will be back soon." ”

I couldn't help but interject, "Then do you know where your dad went?" ”

The child shook his head blankly. I touched the child's head with some guilt. He didn't know where his father had gone, but maybe I did.

The arrival of our two strangers attracted the attention of so many children in the village that they even stopped playing and gathered around. The pomp and circumstance here attracted the attention of the adults of the village. I saw some adults with hoes, others with rakes, and they all saw that we were all enemies. And most of these adults are old people and women.

When the children saw the adults in the house, they all ran over. Chu Yi pulled me behind him without a trace, and then raised his voice: "Fellow villagers, the contemptible and the lady are just passing by here to beg for saliva to drink, there is absolutely no malice!" ”

Chu Yi's words had some effect, and the vigilance of the adults was reduced a lot. I tugged at Chu Yi's sleeve, "Let's go." ”

I couldn't stop his actions. He took a step forward, and I had to follow suit. When he approached the man with the farm implement, he repeated: "The contemptible and the lady have come to the capital from other places to look for relatives, and they are passing by here, and they want to ask you for some water to drink. ”

They looked at us for a long time, and then one of the old men at the head said, "Come in, two of you." "We followed the old man into a farmhouse, and the old man asked his wife to bring out two bowls of water.

Chu Yi personally got up and took the bowl held by the old man, and his attitude was respectful and did not look like a prince at all. I observed Chu Yi's behavior, but I still couldn't figure it out. I took the water that Chu Yi brought to me and drank it slowly. Actually, I'm not thirsty now, I'm hungry.

I noticed that the little boy who had been hiding behind his grandmother was the same child who answered our questions at the entrance of the village. I tried to recruit him, but I realized that I didn't have any snacks with me, so I gave up.

The water in the bowl was drunk, and as soon as I put down the bowl, Chu Yi got up and thanked him and left.

It wasn't until Chu Yi took me away on horseback that I felt like a marionette myself. I couldn't help but ask, "Which one are you singing?"

Chu Yi reined in his horse and stopped in front of a small noodle shop. "It's been a while since you've been out, you should be hungry too, come down and get something to eat."

Chu Yi simply ordered two bowls of clear soup noodles. I saw a lot of people walking early along the way, but this humble breakfast shop was empty.

After the shopkeeper brought two bowls of noodles, I stopped him from stretching out his chopsticks. I brought the bowl in front of him, said "I'm sorry", and picked out some noodles from his bowl.

After a while, I returned the noodles to him. "I don't know if you're coming out, I don't have any silver here, that's the only way, don't dislike it."

Chu Yi took the chopsticks and looked at me in a daze, "Wu'er, you are very guarded, but if you do this, you are still putting yourself in danger." ”

I was a little uncomfortable picking on my face, "I am very pessimistic about my own life and death now, and not many people know that I am alive anyway." I'm fine, but you're different. In the past, my uncle often told me that as long as I left home, I must always be vigilant. ”

It's a small place, but it's not a place to talk. I still eat my noodles quietly. A bowl of noodles was eaten, and when I was about to leave, a group of people came into the small noodle shop. When I saw a person surrounded in the middle, my eyes widened in surprise, and then I looked at Chu Yi, although I didn't have any surprised expression, but I was still a lot more serious.

Chu Yi stepped forward and said, "Fifth brother, why are you out of the city at this time!" ”

"Yo! It's the seventh brother! What a coincidence! "That person said as if he had just seen us, but I knew that he had been staring at Chu Yi since he came in. Perhaps, he deigned to come to a small noodle shop because he saw Chu Yi here.

The entry of this line of people with extraordinary spirit has made the shopkeeper miserable. He cautiously asked, "Masters, what are you eating?" ”

Of course, these trivial matters have nothing to do with the fifth brother in Chu Yi's mouth, since someone told the shopkeeper, and there were also people who knelt down to wipe the tables and chairs with their sleeves. Because, this fifth brother is Emperor Qi Chu Hao. It was also a hurried glance when I was looking for Liu Yiyi that day that I could recognize him now.

Ever since Chu Hao came in, Chu Yi has been subconsciously blocking me with his body. But where would Chu Hao let me go so easily, he looked at me with interest and said, "This beauty, looking at it is very good!" But the seventh brother is new?"

"Back to the fifth brother, Wu'er is a newcomer in the younger brother's house, and the fifth brother has naturally not seen it. It's not like she was playing petty yesterday, she has to come out and take a look. The seventh brother couldn't screw it, so he had to take her out for a spin. Chu Yi said, pinching my face with his hand, and with the doting on his face, I also leaned on him coquettishly.

While speaking, Xiao Er brought a bowl of noodles, and this time someone really tested the poison with a silver needle. Chu Hao said: "It seems that the seventh brother has really won a sweetheart!" If the new brother and sister want some treasure, they must be adult beauty for the brother. ”

Chu Yi said: "Fifth Brother Xie is very kind! In the future, Wu'er has a child, and then he will ask his brother to appreciate the light! You see, we've been out for a long time! Let's leave first! I beg your pardon! ”

Chu Hao smiled and said, "Why do you and my brothers need to see each other!" There is still something to do for the elder brother, so the seventh brother will leave first. ”

After Chu Yi thanked me, he pulled me away quickly. Chu Hao spoke well and let us go, but I felt that his gaze was always on us. It's really strange, how could we meet Chu Hao in such a place now, shouldn't he be in the palace?

After Chu Yi rode some distance, he stopped his horse and decided that we would walk slowly. "It's very open around here, and you can't hide anyone. If you have anything to ask, just ask. After this village, I don't know where the store is. ”
