Chapter 247: Emperor Ye Lingchu
Hearing the words of the napping merchant, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Leng Muning's cold face.
I was deceived by a seven or eight-year-old girl!
Zhang Suiqiang laughed, threw a tael of silver to the napping merchant, picked up his goods, and asked, "What ancestral secret technique?" ”
Seeing Zhang Sui so generous, the napping merchant's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was sleepy, and said hurriedly: "Ventriloquism, chivalry, their family can speak ventriloquism, speak with their stomachs, and they can change the volume of their voices, for a while like others talking in the distance, and for a while like talking in a close place!" Moreover, Ji Ziling's hairy girl can imitate anyone's voice, which is harmful in our area! ”
Carefully holding the broken silver in his arms, the merchant was grateful to Zhang Sui and Leng Muning, and after a while, he ran away!
Seeing this, the merchant holding the pheasant dripping with blood was about to talk to Zhang Sui, but saw a trace of coldness flash in Zhang Sui's eyes.
glanced at the back of Zhang Sui and the two of them leaving in fear, and the merchant scolded and chattered for a while, today's good luck was not bumped into by himself.
Leng Muning pursed her lips and said to Zhang Sui: "Husband, do you think I'm very, very-"
Zhang Sui shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said: "If you cheat, you cheat, you also heard what the merchant said just now, that little girl is very eccentric, and she was deceived by more than the two of us." If you're really angry, we'll go find her now and clean her up!" ”
"It's not." Leng Mu Ning pondered for a moment before he said, "I was thinking about what Liu Feng said before he died. ”
"What does this have to do with that little girl?" Zhang Sui wondered.
Leng Mu Ning said: "Husband, you think, she is a little girl, she is so famous in this area, it can be seen that she is making a lot of trouble, but why don't you see her parents come out to take care of her?" If it were me, when our child was born in the future, if he was so naughty, I would definitely be worried that he would get into trouble with someone he shouldn't be messed with, what if someone else didn't treat him well? ”
Zhang Sui frowned and said, "You mean that she has no parents and relatives?" ”
"At least there's no one who cares about her life or death." Leng Muning held Zhang Sui's hand and said, "Let's help her, right?" Moreover, you look at the poor people nearby, she doesn't take a little silver, a hundred taels, if someone finds out, it will really make others kill her. ”
"Liu Feng said before he died that weak people in this world are always bullied, I didn't see it before, and I didn't know it." Leng Muning touched his stomach and said: "But now that I have seen it and seen it, I think that if our child is born and the two of us encounter a sudden accident, when the time comes, others will care about him so much, and they will not let him become a person like Liu Feng." ”
"You've changed." Zhang Sui looked at Leng Muning with a complicated complication and said, "Do you know that in the past, you were an iceberg, but now, all you remember in your heart are others." ”
Leng Muning's face gradually turned cold, and she said coldly: "Husband still likes me like this?" ”
Zhang Sui scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Forget it, I'm cheap, you still look good just now." ”
The two inquired about Ji Ziling's residence all the way, and found something that was very speechless.
Unless money is given, no one wants to talk about Ji Ziling.
Until nightfall, Zhang Sui and Leng Muning stopped in a dilapidated log cabin at the end of the town.
The owners of the cabin are a middle-aged couple with a teenage child.
After Zhang Sui gave ten taels of silver, they vacated the master bedroom and let Leng Muning sleep.
Zhang Sui stewed a pot of chicken soup, and just fed Leng Muning to drink, the pair of teenage children stood next to the stove in the room, biting their hands, looking at the pheasant meat in the pot, and saliva dripping from the corners of their mouths.
Zhang Sui sent the bowl of Leng Muning who had finished drinking the chicken soup to the stove, and when the two children saw this, their eyes showed a trace of fear, but they couldn't move their feet.
The middle-aged couple was closing the door and putting two huge grinding stones against it, and when they had done all this, they hurried over and dragged the two children away.
Seeing the two children lying on the ground and not getting up, Zhang Sui laughed and said: "I see that you are all hunters, why do they still look like that when they see the pheasant meat on the stove?" ”
The middle-aged woman's face was hot, and she said: "Don't blame you, knight, we are a border town here, we have been hunters for generations, and we have been poor all our lives. There is no grain to grow in our region, the grain is all transported from the Qi country, the price is extremely expensive, and the prey is very large, the price is low, it takes a lot to get a little food. ”
"In the past, we used to grow up eating prey when we were young, but since the emperor's preaching, we know that children can't grow up if they only eat prey, and they need to eat all kinds of food, vegetables, and meat. The emperor said that the reason why the children of high-ranking officials and nobles are smarter and stronger is because of these. ”
"Also, the emperor also said that hunting for a lifetime is unproductive, we need to save money for our children, and let them travel around the world on their own in the future, grow their knowledge, and learn knowledge, in the future, they will have a future, and they will not die of old age in this small town like us."
"Seeing that both of them are ten years old, according to the emperor, it's time for them to go out on their own, but we haven't saved much money yet, so we can only save a little bit."
Listening to the middle-aged woman's words, Zhang Sui was shocked and hurriedly said, "Who is the emperor of your Chu State?" He's very insightful in this set! ”
The middle-aged couple showed a look of adoration on their faces and said, "Isn't that?" Our emperor is the best official in the world who cares about our poor people! ”
Zhang Sui squatted down, pointed to the pot with a smile and said to the two children: "You go to serve a bowl, you can only hold one bowl, you will not be able to sleep at night if you eat too much." ”
The two children got up from the ground with a thud, kowtowed to Zhang Sui a few times, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and went to the pot to serve pheasant.
When the middle-aged couple saw this scene, they opened their mouths, their eyes were red, but they didn't say anything.
Bowing to Zhang Sui, the middle-aged woman said: "Chivalry, your husband and wife are good people, and they are the same good people as the emperor!" ”
Zhang Sui waved his hand disappreciatively and asked curiously, "Can you tell me what is the name of your emperor?" ”
The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Our emperor is Ye Lingchu, the seventh elder from the Alchemy Pavilion, and he is a person with great ability!" ”
"Alchemy Pavilion Seventh Elder Ye Lingchu?" Zhang Sui was shocked and said, "You didn't talk nonsense, did you? Ye Lingchu is the Seventh Elder of the Alchemy Pavilion? Or is it the emperor of your Chu State? ”
Seeing that Zhang Sui actually doubted what he said, the middle-aged man said angrily: "I, Lu Youcai, never lie!" The emperor's statement in our Chu State is far and wide, and no one in a poor family knows his goodness! He proposed to the king of Chu to reduce taxes for our poor families, and personally came to the border town to teach us the prosperity of some big places, so that we could have a long experience! This kind of person, I Lu Youcai admires the most, I also hope that everyone knows his goodness and prays for him, how can he deceive you? ”
The middle-aged woman glanced at Lu Youcai with disgust, and said to Zhang Sui with a smile: "Although my husband is a little stupid and doesn't speak politely, he doesn't lie. The emperor is in our Great Chu, just like the bright moon in the sky, how dare we forget? ”
Zhang Sui looked at the middle-aged couple in silence, trying to see a trace of truth from their faces.
Suddenly, a shrill sound of "chirping" sounded.
The two children hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands and hid behind the middle-aged couple.
The middle-aged couple's faces also changed greatly, and they hurriedly blew out the lights on the stove, and said to Zhang Sui: "Chivalry, take good care of your wife, and tell her not to make a noise at night, let alone open the door, the fox demon is coming!" ”
"Kitsune?" Zhang Sui wondered.
The middle-aged couple hummed softly, and the two of them touched the darkness and took the two children to the side room.
