Chapter 5: I Raise a Villain in Troubled Times (5)
Back at the tattered wooden house, the boy poured all the grain in his arms into the rice jar, and lay on the edge of the jar to watch for a while.
Ye Shenyu glanced over, and the yellow layer was covered with the bottom of the tank, and it was estimated that he would not be able to eat it for a few days.
In fact, it may not be enough for Ye Shenyu to eat in one meal.
This bit of food is not enough at all, and Ye Shenyu's mouth has long been fed by Yue Liying. Not to mention coarse grains, even ordinary polished rice is rarely eaten, and it is all carefully selected pearl rice. Not to mention the dishes, the characteristics of the five lakes and the West Sea, the carefully selected ingredients, and the things that are served at the end may not be eaten by the emperor.
Looking at the little rice in the tank, Ye Shenyu felt that he might have to find something to eat.
Here she was thinking about how to eat well and well, and the boy over there had already begun to clean up the planks on the floor, trying to put them back together into "doors".
Ye Shenyu thought for a while, and after knocking on the system to no avail, he asked the boy who was fighting the wooden board: "There is a famine here, is there any other place that is richer and has food?" ”
It is better to have a restaurant where you can cook delicious dishes.
The boy didn't understand what "rich" meant, but he understood what it meant to have food to eat. He shook his head: "Everyone has nothing to eat, and there have been many people who fled before, saying that they came from there......"
He stood up and pointed to the north: "There is no food over there, and there is a war everywhere, everyone is running, and there is no food." ”
The boy squatted down again and fiddled with the plank, and suddenly sighed: "But the king of Huainan doesn't seem to be short of food, Huainan must have food!" ”
King Huainan? Ye Shenyu heard him say this name: "Is it the one who came to give porridge?" ”
The boy nodded violently: "Yes, Li Xiucai from the village said before that King Huainan is the lord of heaven!" ”
"Isn't he a prince?" Ye Shenyu asked rhetorically, "Lord Ming should be the emperor, right?" ”
"I don't know." The boy thought bitterly, "He seems to be talking about after?" In short, the king of Huainan was a good man, and he could eat with him, and many people left at that time to go to the Huainan army. ”
"It's a pity that I'm too young...... the boy lowered his head and his voice was a little low, "otherwise, if I change the food, my father and mother will be able to eat." ”
As he spoke, he lost his voice, and his shoulders kept shaking.
Ye Shenyu looked at him with a pair of clear eyes, slightly distracted. After a while, the boy got up and went to block the door, and Ye Shenyu suddenly said, "Let's leave here tomorrow." ”
The boy held on to the plank and looked back blankly: "Where are you going?" ”
"Go to Huainan." Eat restaurant.
"But Huainan is far ......away," the boy emphasized, "but far away, far away." ”
"No matter how far you go, you can get there." Ye Shenyu was stunned and looked down at the boy's limbs. She may need to find a carriage.
This is easy to do, she often grabs things like carriages, and knows where they are.
At night, the boy curled up on the wooden bed and fell into a deep sleep. Ye Shenyu held a long knife in her arms, standing by the window, and the moonlight like water dyed her body.
The system disappeared, there were no tasks, and there was a bottleneck in martial arts. She doesn't seem to have much to do now, and she seems to be able to do anything.
Anyway, go find a place to eat first. If you're lucky, you can grab some food and belongings from the robbers on the way. And then...... Ye Shenyu turned his head to look at the boy on the bed. She didn't care about the people around her in the past, but this time she not only replaced the identity of the original body, but also ate half of the original body's cake.
Half a cake that can save lives.
She had to be responsible, at least not to let her original brother starve to death.
Raising a child is inexperienced. But I have never eaten pork and have always seen pigs running, Ye Shenyu deduced that if you eat and drink, you will never die if you wear and live.
Ye Shenyu put one hand on the edge of the window, jumped out gently, and when he landed, a dream came from the house: "Sister, don't leave Xuan'er ......"
The boy's breathing was steady and long, and Ye Shenyu did not look back, flying into the distance.
The night passed quickly, the sky turned white, and the boy woke up with his sleepy eyes rubbed. When he got up, he found that there was no one in the house, so he got up in a panic and shouted, "Sister! ”
He jumped out of bed and ran out in a hurry, and the door that he had managed to fix was smashed to pieces. As soon as he went out, he was stunned, and a tall carriage stopped outside, and two horses were sneezing and fiddling with their hooves. The girl sat on the carriage with a knife in her hand, and was looking at him with inky eyes.
People are still there, what happened yesterday is not a dream.
Ye Shenyu saw him standing motionless in a daze, patted the carriage under him, and said, "Come here." ”
The boy walked over: "We ......"
"Set off for Huainan." Ye Shenyu said.
The boy didn't come back to his senses: "Oh......" He walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, and ran back: "I haven't taken yesterday's rice yet!" ”
Ye Shenyu waited for a while, and the boy came out with a small cloth bag. Ye Shenyu jumped down and carried him and his bag into the carriage, while he sat in the groom's position and drove the carriage on the road.
The boy let out an exclamation in the carriage and poked his head out holding the pastry: "Sister, do you know which way Huainan is going?" ”
"Go to the county seat first and ask someone for directions." Ye Shenyu replied, depending on the situation, you can directly catch someone to catch the car. She hadn't done this kind of work for a long time, and she was a little rusty.
The boy nodded and handed over a piece of pastry. Curious, he rummaged through the carriage and found a small cabinet full of preserved pastries, many of which he had never seen before.
The snow-white pastry was held in front of Ye Shenyu, Ye Shenyu was silent for a moment, and said, "Wash your hands before eating next time." "It seems that raising children is not enough to just have food.
The boy hummed obediently and took a small bite of the fine white pastry. He had never eaten something so sweet, so delicate and delicious. I just feel like I'm dreaming. The boy grabbed the pastry and thought that he must not have woken up yet, maybe he was fainting from hunger, and that he was dreaming.
I just hope this dream will sit for a long time.
The carriage drove onto the main road, galloped away, and it didn't take long to reach the county seat. Unlike yesterday, today the door of the county seat is closed, and a large crowd of people are crowded outside, some crying and some smashing the door.
Locked down? Approaching the city gate, Ye Shenyu grabbed the reins and let the carriage stop behind the crowd. She jumped out of the carriage and walked over to a man kneeling outside the city gate, ready to ask.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance. Ye Shenyu leaned over for a moment, stood up again, and looked in the direction where the voice came from. Only an extended black line could be seen on the horizon, and after a few moments, the black line gradually became clear.
It was an army in armor and a yellow cloth scarf, galloping towards the county seat, and the horses' hooves brought up clouds of dust, blurring the signs on the military flag.
