Chapter 153: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas

"Then why don't you chase it?"

So, on the wide streets of the imperial capital, there was such a scene, a thin and dirty little man in front of him ran towards a crowded place, and two teenagers younger than him in the back chased desperately.

"Zhengye, hurry up!" As the elder brother, Qin Yutang is two years older than his younger brother, and he has been learning martial arts for two years longer, so he runs much faster than his younger brother, and Qin Zhengye, who is only ten years old, is panting and follows behind, how can he not be tired when he is already extremely hungry?

"Stop! Hear me! Stop me and give me back my money bag!" ”

Qin Yutang shouted at the rabbit-like thief running in front of him while chasing, and occasionally turned around to urge Qin Zhengye who was hanging behind, wanting to wait for him, but he was unwilling to let the thief in front run away, so he fell into a dilemma.

"Brother, you go after it, I really can't run, and if I chase and come back to find me, I will try to keep up!"

Qin Zhengye shouted from behind.

"No way!"

Qin Yutang took two steps back, grabbed his hand, and said angrily, "We can't be separated, this person is unfamiliar with life, what if we get separated?" ”

After speaking, he dragged Qin Zhengye's hand and dragged him away.

"Let one let let one let one! Let me go! ”

He squeezed towards the crowd, causing a commotion in the crowd, "Who's this child, how... Ah, you've stepped on my foot! ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we have something urgent!"

Qin Yutang apologized while taking Qin Zhengye to keep drilling forward, but where was that person?

On the stone steps on the side of the street, there were two tired teenagers, it was Qin Yutang and Qin Zhengye, both of whom had frustrated expressions on their faces.

"Brother, or, let's... Why don't you go back? ”

Qin Zhengye flattened his mouth and rubbed his stomach aggrievedly, there, he had already sung about the empty city plan, and he was already hungry.

"Go back?"

Qin Yutang, who was holding his knees, glanced at his younger brother, "How do you go back?" Walking? Are you sure you can walk back? After a pause, he added, "Even if you can go back, do you think your grandfather can just forget it?" ”

"But..."Qin Zhengye hesitated, put his chin on his knee, and muttered in a low voice, "It's better than being unaccompanied and having nothing here, right?" ”

"I'm not going back anyway! If you want to go back, go back yourself! ”

Qin Yutang twisted his head and snorted stubbornly.

"Brother!"

Qin Zhengye wanted to persuade again, but seeing Qin Yutang's unmoved appearance, he gave up again and spoke weakly, "But what are we going to do now?" ”

"Doesn't Master often say that there is no way to the world, there will always be a way."

Qin Yutang saw that his younger brother finally stopped arguing and went home, so he stood up and patted the dust on his buttocks and said.

"And where are we going?"

Qin Zhengye asked in a panic, now that they have no money or food, it is estimated that they really have to sleep on the streets, so they should not be so curious and run away from home with their brother.

The two of them stopped and stopped, and when they passed by all kinds of dim sum bun shops, they couldn't help but stay for a while, but unfortunately, after touching their bodies, they could only swallow saliva and reluctantly leave.

"Shopkeeper, can you do a good job and let us work here?"

"Go, go, where is the little brat, don't come to make trouble!"

"Boss, do you need to work?" We both have the strength to work, as long as we ....."

Without waiting for the two teenagers to finish speaking, the stall owner, who looked five big and three thick, picked up the knife at hand, "Go away, go away!" Don't get in the way of Lao Tzu's business! ”

"Boss, you need ....... here"

"No, no, no, get out!"

The boss really stung Qin Zhengye's little heart with a few extremely impatient rolling words, and he cried and said to Qin Yutang, "Brother, let's go back, you said that the son of our dignified general's mansion, when did these people treat him like this?" Brother, let's go back, this capital is not good! Not good at all! ”

"Brother! Isn't it good? Shall we go back? ”

Qin Zhengye shook Qin Yutang's arm and pleaded in a low voice, he would rather go back and be beaten and punished than be looked down upon and disliked everywhere.

"No! Can't go back! ”

Qin Yutang shook off his younger brother's hand and said angrily.

"But brother, let's ...... like this" Qin Zhengye looked at the sky, the sun had already gone west, and soon, it was going to be dark, and they didn't even eat lunch, "What should we do at night?" ”

"Zhengye, are you afraid? Afraid of hardship? ”

Qin Yutang frowned, his eyes were thoughtful, and he looked at his cousin solemnly, knowing that he wouldn't take him out.

Qin Zhengye nodded, and shook his head again, "Brother, do we have to wander like this?" ”

I don't know why, Qin Zhengye suddenly remembered the little beggars he had seen in Luozhou City before, and their dirty little faces and the kind of little eyes that were eager to eat came to mind.

He doesn't want to be like that.

"Come with me, we'll find something to do."

Qin Yutang pondered for a while, and took his younger brother's hand again, he didn't believe it, there was a huge imperial capital, and he couldn't find a place to contain them. If this is the case, he will go back to Luozhou tomorrow, even if it is begging, he will return to Luozhou Qinfu. Starting point Chinese

Qin Zhengye was helpless, so he had to follow Qin Yutang along the street, they asked all the way, but unfortunately they still found nothing, no place was willing to take them in, and they didn't even have food to eat, the two of them were tired and hungry, especially the younger Qin Zhengye, his legs were already weak and weak, if it wasn't for his brother Qin Yutang pulling him, it is estimated that he would have to fall to the ground immediately.

"Brother, I really can't walk, I... I'm so sleepy! ”

He hung Qin Yutang's arm, panting and pleading.

But Qin Yutang was unmoved, and still dragged him forward.

"Brother... Brother..."

--------

The next day, Yun Die finally woke up groggily, she didn't know what was wrong with her, of course, no one told her what was wrong with her, she just said that she fainted due to overthinking and lack of sleep, and she didn't pay attention to it.

"Red Sleeves, give me makeup."

She shouted behind the door.

"Here it is, mother."

Red Sleeves and Lu Yao walked in with their clothes, and Red Sleeves also held a basin in his hand, which contained towels and other things, which were used to wash Yun Die's face.

Lan Xing disappeared early in the morning as usual, and Yun Die still ate breakfast alone, as if everything had not changed.

"Mother, where are we going today?"

Red Sleeves ordered someone to remove the table, brought a cup of tea to Yun Die and asked.

"Well, let's go to Yunfu."

I haven't been there for a few days, so it's time to see how the progress is, especially the young man newly recruited by Wu Liang that day, it's quite interesting, go and see if it's still there.

Ai Yang....

She could still remember his name.

Yun Die couldn't help but smile.

In disguise, Yun Die and the red-sleeved green Yao walked out of the prince's mansion through the side door and took a carriage all the way to the Yun mansion.

After they left, a dexterous figure walked out from behind the rockery, looked out the door, and then turned to Qiuyuan.

"Mother, they're gone, they're all dressed up, who knows what they're going out for!"

Xianghui closed the door and said in front of Tian Wanqiu, who was waiting anxiously.

"Really? Did you read that right? ”

"That's right, Niangniang, the slave is sure that it is the one in the main courtyard, and the two little hooves named Red Sleeves and Lu Yao next to her!"

Xianghui's face was full of resentment, since that person entered the mansion, they Qiuyuan didn't say that His Highness was favored, even if they could see His Highness, they had to burn high incense, "I don't know what kind of fox tricks that woman used, so that Her Highness stayed in the main courtyard at night....."

"Xianghui!"

Tian Wanqiu shouted, "Don't talk nonsense, be careful that the wall has ears!" ”

She has been much more cautious recently, last night her father sent a letter, saying that her uncle's crazy brother ran away from home, and her uncle Tian Zexiong sent people to look everywhere, but he turned the entire emperor upside down, but unfortunately he still didn't find it.

Because the son of his uncle Tian Zexiong had followed the second prince Lan Yue to escort disaster relief food and was seriously injured in an attack, Fu Da was rescued by life, but after coming back, he fell asleep for more than a month, and Mrs. Tian was heartbroken for a while, who expected that he would wake up again in the past two months.

The whole family was very happy, but unfortunately, they were soon dumbfounded again, because Tian Qi was stupid, and when he woke up, he was full of crazy words, and he didn't know anyone anymore, it was like a different person, and he didn't remember the past at all.

There was no way, the Tian family could only claim that Tian Qi was seriously ill and it was inconvenient to see guests, so they refused to come and go, and Tian Zexiong tried to keep a low profile in the court.

Who knows, seeing that Tian Qi, who has improved a lot, took advantage of the inattention of one of his subordinates and ran out secretly......

"Niangniang, are we going to go along?"

Xianghui asked in a low voice.

"Naturally, I want it, in case, they have something unseemly..."Tian Wanqiu thought about that scene and smiled, as if Yundie and the others were doing something unseemly, and they happened to be bumped into by her.

"Let's go!"

Subsequently, Tian Wanqiu also put on a veil and took Xianghui out of the house. It's just that they didn't know that after them, Feng Miaoyi also took the maids around her out of the door and went in the opposite direction.

Yunfu under construction, not seen for a few days, the foundation has been filled, and the main construction of the house has begun, Yundie thought of the house that was destroyed by fire last time, in ancient times, fires can also be seen everywhere, whether it is man-made or natural disasters, ancient building walls are difficult to escape doom, because, most of the ancient buildings are mainly wooden, and such as candle flames are open flames, if you want to burn, it is not a matter of minutes?

"Sorcerer, do you say, is it better to use wood or stone for this wall?"

Yun Die asked as she watched the workers busy on the ground.

"Well, it is said that wood is much less troublesome than stone, and stone, strong and reliable, will not be very hot in summer..."Wu Liang explained thoughtfully, "However, stone is more troublesome, because stone is not ready to sell compared to wood, and besides, that thing is heavy, and it requires more labor, so..."

"In an imperial capital like the Southern Dynasties, few people used it to build houses, but like those mountain bandits and thieves, because of the convenient terrain, most of them used stone to build cottage fortresses, but they were also strong and reliable."

Wu Liang explained.

Yun Die listened, nodded thoughtfully, and asked again, "I'm afraid that the stone mine can't be mined by itself at will, right?" ”

"Miss, do you mean those iron and gold mines?"

"Uh~ No?" She didn't know what to say, she didn't know which dynasty this corresponded to, so she couldn't explain it.
