The oil lamp in the grass hut only had a faint light, and Ding Yi looked at the old man with this bit of light, Rao is Ding's excellent eyesight, and he couldn't rely on this light to see the old man's face clearly, but the other party suddenly broke Ding Yi's official body, how did he do it?

The old man raised his hand and said to Ding Yi: "My lord, sit widely, the old man will explain, and then I will accompany the adult to speak." ”

After saying that, Uncle Jiu turned around and trembled, but Ding Yi heard the old man spit out a mouthful of phlegm outside the grass house, and then said angrily: "Ah Qi, go home!" If your two younger brothers hadn't been filled with food by your fifth sister-in-law, they would have waited for you to come back? I'm already starving to death! Marrying a daughter-in-law, marrying a daughter-in-law, I think you are fascinated by a woman! ”

Ah Qi, who still dared to complain in front of Ding Yi, did not dare to refute the old man's words, the rule of law in the imperial court is basically at the county level, the power of the clan is very great in these years, or the ordinary people, the old man in the clan discussed someone's guilt in the ancestral hall, it was really beaten to death with a stick and buried in a pit, and that's it; As for if there is a personal affair, it is even more common to soak the pig cage and kill people, and it is also done with great fanfare, and the whole village is the same as a festival. So even if Ah Qi dared to reason when he met Xiucai, he didn't even dare to raise his head when he met the old man of this clan.

"Ah Hua, Ani, you should also go back to take care of your father first, this little house will accompany the old man to say a few words, and I will send him to your house in a while." Although the two sisters were a little reluctant, under the old man's prestige, they didn't dare to say anything, and honestly left Ding Yi to go home.

"My lord, let this village go!" After calling away the two sisters and Ah Qi, the old man re-entered the grass hut, knelt on the ground, and bowed down to Ding Yi. Fortunately, he was old enough that Ding Yi could still flash to the side when he moved, and when the old man bowed down. Ding Yi had already forcibly picked him up from behind him and sat down.

Helplessly exhaling from his nose, Ding Yi looked at the old man in front of him and asked him, "Does the old man know about the students?" Ever met a student before? ”

The old man shook his head and said with a wry smile: "My lord, you are an official, your every move is a high-ranking style, when you were young, you also served several terms as a staff member for Huang Tang, even if the old eyes are dim, this official spirit is still clear." The official of the private interview of the microservice. was bullied by the officials below, that was an excerpt staged on the stage, unless the poor and remote Xia County really has never seen anything in the world, otherwise there are such stupid officials and staff in the world? ”

Ding Yi is indeed accustomed to being a high-ranking official. Even if he didn't notice it himself.

"The adults listened to the dog barking and were not surprised. Because you know. Someone will always keep the dog on a leash, and you don't have to worry about it; When you come here, the little old man goes out, you stand quietly, because you are used to someone always giving you a front stand, and you are used to waiting for others to come and greet you first...... In a word. You look at the posture of being a big official, I'm afraid, it's still the criminal department that has jurisdiction over the criminal name......" Uncle Jiu shook his head as he spoke, the expression on his face full of doubt. Or maybe it's because I don't know why this village is stained with this young high-ranking official, judging from this posture, I'm afraid it's not lower than the prefect's grade.

As for saying that he guessed that Ding Yi was afraid that he was the one who was brought to the criminal division, it was because the dog stopped barking, and since Ding Yi led the horse and walked over lightly, the dog was like being castrated. Even the Zhao butcher in the east of the village can't be scared of the good dog, how murderous is this? The old man looked at Ding Yi's age, and he didn't look like a military general who went into battle to kill the enemy, so he guessed that he was probably a high-ranking official of the Criminal Division.

"Don't worry too much about it, the student really just sent the two sisters back, how could he think of Guan Fei and Zhengding? Why don't you say I'm a lustful disciple? Ding Yi smiled and took out the pastries that were originally intended to be given to the young sentry from his arms, handed them to the old man, and said to him, "They beg me to accompany me, I see that it is dark, and there is that Ah Qi who blocked them in the city before, saying that he wanted to sell them to Qinhuai, so he came to your land, and the old man didn't have to worry about it." ”

Listening to Ding Yi's words, the old man thought for a while, and felt that Ding Yi's style, if he really had any schemes, he really couldn't lie to such an old man as himself, and he would joke when his heart was relieved: "If Lord Ding really likes those two sisters, the old man is in charge, and he will send you to the house tomorrow morning, even if he is a concubine, it will be their ancestral tomb with green smoke!" ”

Uncle Nine took a torch from the door and put it on the oil lamp and lit it, and then led Ding Yi to Ah Hua and Ani's house, the old man's age is too big, his legs and feet are already very inflexible, if it is not for Ding Yi's support, I am afraid that this less than 100 steps of the road can slowly move for half an hour.

Before I went to Ah Hua's house, I smelled the aroma of cooking rice, or the smell of burning grass woke up Ding Yi's stomach, and I really felt more hungry when I smelled this smell. Ah Hua's family is naturally not wealthy, and there is not even a yard, but four walls built with loess, and some straw is used as a roof.

Outside, there was a stove with a fire, a wooden board resting on the stone that probably served as a dining table, and the one inside, which was supposed to be a bedroom, stood at the door and listened to the earth-shattering coughing sound coming from inside. The old man called Ah Hua out, and he got Ding Yi's advice, without mentioning that Ding was an official, but just said to her: "One person cooks, and the other goes to Ah Qi, and asks him to take the note, and the Chinese people also bring it over!" ”

Ah Hua answered, and hurriedly ran out, and the ninth uncle instructed Ani again: "No eyes? Don't know how to borrow two stools to sit on? Go to the fourth aunt's house on the side and teach Yi to lend you the tea set and coffee table. Ding Yi originally said that there was no need to be so troublesome, and even he thought that he would give the silver to the old man and go back first.

When he passed the gate of the academy first, he explained to the guard at the gate that he might not go back at night. Nanjing City can't enter, just find an inn to deal with it overnight, anyway, there is a change of clothes - after all, the military brand in the bones can not be erased, the clothes and shoes in the backpack on horseback, the tactical knife, are still prepared all year round.

Anyway, he really didn't want to stay in this small broken village for long, Taiyuan was ecological here, or to put it bluntly, it was too poor. A place where he even had to ask his neighbor to borrow a coffee table, Ding really didn't know what could let him stay, the main reason was that after coming here, he didn't insist on studying politics, and Ding began to transform from a people's policeman and a people's army to a scholar class.

"Their father used to be a good hand at collecting medicine, but unfortunately, he fell down the mountain and injured his waist." Uncle Nine said to Ding Yi with a smile, "My lord, there is nothing here that can enter your eyes, but the wild tea picked from the mountains a few days ago can be tasted." As he spoke, he called to a certain family in a loud voice, and called the son of that family to go to his house and fetch wild tea. It can be seen that Uncle Jiu's prestige in this village is excellent, and the people he called immediately responded to the errands.

Soon the tea leaves in the exquisite lacquerware were taken, and the water was boiled in the red furnace, and it was indeed a fragrance that left sweet teeth.

After drinking two cups of tea, the IOU and Ah Qi came over, and after checking that it was correct, Ding Yi took out the money and came out to pay off the debts of the two sisters, and their father also came out to thank him with the help of others. Ding Yi didn't want to stay longer, so he left after everything was done, and Uncle Jiu stuffed the pot of tea to Ding Yi, the old man walked unsteadily, and Ding Yi didn't dare to fight with him, so he quit.

Got on the horse and went out of the village, and gradually Ding Yi felt that something was not right, his head was getting more and more dizzy, his heartbeat was not right, it seemed that he couldn't beat anymore, he only felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, he took the four hooves under his crotch to step on the snow, and when he got off the horse, he couldn't stand at all and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Ding Yi knew that he must have been poisoned, and he couldn't care about his demeanor at this time, so he crawled to the canal on the side of the road to irrigate the fields, who knew that he suddenly used too much force, and the whole person rolled into the canal about a foot deep, and the cold water made Ding Yi rarely have a trace of consciousness, so he began to drink water desperately, and then spit on the field by the canal, and then continued to drink water, and then continued to vomit.

He had already figured out how he was poisoned, it was those two cups of tea.

Other than that, he didn't eat anything else.

Fortunately, he was in good health and only drank two glasses, but Ding Yi couldn't figure out why this small village wanted to kill him? Whether it is the pair of sisters or Ah Qi, they all look like farmers from top to bottom, not killers who have practiced kung fu and pretend to be farmers, but farmers; Uncle Nine is really an old man who can't even walk, why do they want to poison themselves like this?

After frantically pouring water and vomiting many times, Ding Yi crawled out of the canal, just stepped on the filth he vomited, and fell again, so he had to re-enter the canal and wash it again. April of this year is the fourth month of the lunar calendar, but it is not the AD calendar, he thought that this summer would not be tight even if it was wet, who knew that after washing for a while, he climbed up the ditch and felt weak.

Ding is not a helpless sour Ding, he knows that his body can't bear it, if he wears wet clothes like this again, he will be finished with a cold, and this year's cold will kill people. So he struggled to strip it all naked, and with great difficulty to remove a rucksack from his horse, when suddenly he heard the sound of a bird flapping its wings in the way.

No matter who came, Ding Yi could only dismiss the plan to wear naked in the middle of the road, he tried a few times, he really couldn't climb the horse, weakness is weakness, no matter how strong the will is, it is weak. Ding Yi could only pick up the rucksack and slap the horse's buttocks, and the horse ran away, and then he walked into the ditch again, naked, and staggered on the ridge with difficulty, only the hard ridge would not leave obvious footprints, and he touched into a melon shed.

Listening to Uncle Jiu's voice on the road, still so old and weak, it seemed that he found the clothes that Ding Yi had peeled off casually: "That's right, this is his clothes and shoes, and he is really not dead!" ”

Ah Qi didn't flinch this time: "Your feet and legs are inconvenient, stay here with me, sixth brother, you catch up!" ”

"Oleanders can't drink this guy! What the! The man who was called Sixth Brother cursed viciously. (To be continued......)
