Chapter 17: Fireside Talk
Yu Ziyan woke up quietly, still feeling a dry mouth, a hot pain behind his back, and he couldn't reach out to reach it.
When I was hungry and thirsty, I couldn't help but shout, "Is there anyone?" Thirsty ......" However, his voice was weak, and he didn't expect anyone around to guard him, so he still had to endure it.
How did she think that there was really a glass of water handed to her mouth, the man approached, helped her up, gently fed the water slowly, and muttered while feeding: "Do you still know thirst?" Just now, when he was strong, he was like a strong man......", although the words were blaming, the tone was full of concern.
Yu Ziyan was so thirsty that he couldn't wait to feed him one bite at a time, "Gollum." He took the cup and took a few sips to ease up. Although weak, there is no obstacle to mutual hatred: "Who do you say is a female man!?" This shout was full of energy.
Xu Yougui covered her mouth: "Be quiet, the noble person next door just fell asleep!" Anger him, but no one will protect us anymore! Seeing that Yu Ziyan was still staring at her with wide eyes, he rubbed her head: "I know you don't want me to be caught......."
Yu Ziyan took his hand off his head: "You know that you still crashed into it like a fool?" ”
He took a cushion and asked her to sit up straight, and brought a stool from the side: "I said, I won't let you take the risk alone." ”
"But you can't do anything...... This is the gentleman's command. ”
The stool slammed on the ground, Xu Yougui got angry when he heard this, and thought, this girl really doesn't know how to cherish herself! Yin and Yang sarcastically said: "If Mr. asks you to die, you will die?" ”
"Yes." And so she replied.
Xu Yougui sighed. It's one thing to know, it's another to hear it with your own ears. The two-thousand-year-old generation gap cannot be filled by moving a mountain. I could only say helplessly: "...... You are hopeless! ”
Yu Ziyan wondered about his attitude, shouldn't not betraying the Lord and abandoning his faith be the benchmark for dealing with the world? Even though she did a lot of stealing chickens and dogs when she was a child, she never betrayed her promise. "Why do you say that, shouldn't you?"
"It shouldn't. At least not in my hometown. Xu Yougui also said without hesitation. He doesn't think anything in this world is bigger than human life. In his opinion, it is respectable but not advisable for a slave to work for his master. But he also doesn't try to force others with his values. The times are different, maybe his guidelines are not suitable for Yu Ziyan's environment.
"Actually, I always hear you mention your hometown, but I don't know where it is?" She is also very curious about what kind of water and soil can raise a "arrogant person" like Xu Yougui who has no awe.
Yes, that's what she thinks. These days, they are always together, chatting about the world, and their mouths are inseparable from the emperor's nobles, emperor's relatives and relatives. But she knew what was going on. Xu Yougui is different. A Qing Dynasty citizen who is a righteous and eight-year-old has no taboos in speaking and doing things, and even she occasionally deliberately uses a name and surname to call him without correcting it. Let things take their own course. How to look at how wrong.
Xu Yougui's answer was very perfunctory: "It's far away, and you have to go to sea." The world is very big, there are no surprises, you ask in vain, anyway, you can't go......"
Yu Ziyan understood his disdain at a glance, but he didn't expose it, so he deliberately provoked: "I can't go?" So how did you get here? Such a good place not to stay, come here. In a country ruled by the Tartars, the Han people are inferior to the dogs...... What are you trying to do? ”
"I've been deceived!" Xu Yougui didn't care, he opened his mouth to talk nonsense: "I read a book, what is it called'Marco Polo's Travels', I was young at the time, so I believed it." Sneak into the fleet to pan for gold in the Qing Dynasty. Who knows that there is nothing, and there are natural and man-made disasters everywhere, no, they have reaped the consequences of their own evil and become homeless...... However, 'Han people are not as good as dogs'? Who did you listen to this? Did you think so yourself, or did Mr. Ye indoctrinate you? ”
Yu Ziyan seemed to remember something, snorted coldly, and said in a cold tone: "Is there a difference?" ”
"Of course there is, you haven't lived in the Ming Dynasty, whatever he says is what, maybe it's better than now!"
Yu Ziyan glanced at him, "So you guessed it a long time ago?" ”
Xu Yougui: "After talking to him for a while, I found out that your Mr. Ye's emotional ups and downs are too obvious...... That man is a madman! ”
"Slap" Xu Ziyan slapped the bed board, he was angry, but he forgot that he was injured. Pulled to the wound: "Hiss...... It hurts...... Don't be disrespectful to your husband! ”
Xu Yougui hurriedly got up and made a gesture to see the wound. Yu Ziyan waved his hand and said it was okay, he glared at her again, hating Tie Chenggang, "You are really brainwashed......
"What do you know? Sir is so kind to me, even if you help me, I will not let you slander him. Yu Ziyan said this with gratitude and reverence. Xu Yougui rolled his eyes when he heard this, he really didn't want to mention Ye Tianxiang, a psychopath, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Okay, don't talk about him." By the way, last time you said you followed your grandfather, but what happened later? ”
……
Thinking of his grandfather, Xu Ziyan immediately put away his smile and became serious and resentful. I don't know if I hate myself or others. Some things, missed, are eternally separated.
That year, she and her grandfather got down from the bridge as usual and went to a fixed place to set up a stall. Along the way, you will pass by a variety of snack sellers. Grandpa's skill in painting sugar people is a must, whether it is butterflies or flowers and birds, even the flying phoenix is also painted vividly.
Although it is said that the building near the water is the first to get the moon, Yu Ziyan has not liked sweets since he was a child. All the way, I looked at the pure meat buns and charcoal baked cakes on the stall, and my gluttonous drool, a pair of big black eyes were about to pop out of my eyes.
But she is sensible, filial, and knows that she has no money. The candy man can't save much money, it's not easy to feed the grandparents and grandchildren, where do you dare to ask for more.
But where is our eccentric Yu girl wronged by her own mouth. happened to bump into Lu Erlaizi who was vomiting and diarrhea in the corner of the street, and a small idea came to him.
"Grandpa, you go first, I'll say hello to my friend and I'll go to you!"
"Okay, come back soon, grandpa is old, and I have to rely on you to shout to attract business."
"Grandpa, don't worry, the girl will come when she goes."
As soon as he turned around, he slipped away.
As soon as Lu Erlaizi finished spitting out and taking a breath, he was pushed hard from behind, and he almost didn't fall into the praise he had just vomited. Scolding: "Go to the ball!" That person who doesn't have long eyes dares to sneak attack Lao Tzu!? ”
Yu Ziyan giggled: "Er Laizi, it was your aunt and grandmother who pushed it!" What, are you going to clean me up? ”
"Eh! This is not our little sister! As soon as Lu Erlaizi, who was full of burgundy, heard Yu Ziyan's voice, he immediately lost his temper and turned around with a smile. Holding a handkerchief that had just wiped his mouth: "What's the matter, Sister Xiaoyu will help my buddy get a sweat towel again?" ”
"Sweat towels? Hehe! Yu Ziyan pointed to the embroidery of the flower branches on the handkerchief, "You will use the handkerchief I gave you to wipe your mouth?" Next time, I'll really get a sweat towel for my aunt and grandmother, see if you dare to use it! ”
Seeing her serious appearance, Lu Erlaizi's handsome face that was always smiling instantly wrinkled into a bun: "Don't mind!" Good sister, you can't bear to let such a handsome person as your brother wipe his face with that stinky man's sweat towel, if it is worn out, you will not be able to use it in the future! ”
Looking at his evil smile, Yu Ziyan was disgusted: "Phew! Keep it for yourself! ”
"Say it! What's the matter with your brother and me? Craving scones again? Lu Er Laizi closed his eyes and began to pretend to be an uncle, waiting for Yu Ziyan to beg him.
"Hey! You really understand me! What do you think? A match? ”
Lu Erlaizi opened one eye: "Yo, it's good to know your brother this time?" If you want me to help, you can! But you also have to do me a favor, it's called courtesy. ”
"Cheng, I understand the rules, but don't go too far, if you don't succeed here, I can go to Brother Xi."
Seeing her agree, Lu Er Laizi smiled, rubbed his hands and came to him: "How can that Xizi be familiar with me who sells baked cakes, and no one can talk to him as directly as your brother and me!" Just help my brother and me get another jade piece, and exchange it for two dollars to spend! ”
"You owe money to the gambling house again?"
"Hey, hey, little bet, little bet!"
The two of them slipped through a few alleys along the corner of the wall and returned to the lush heavenly street that was crowded with people just now.
Leaning against the wall, staring at the sons and brothers coming and going on the heavenly street, Yu Ziyan said: "Say, which one do you like?" ”
Lu Er Laizi stared at the exquisite jade matches, and he wanted to point to this for a while, and then he fell in love with that, and when he was hesitating, a piece of bloodstone came into view.
"That's it!"
