Chapter 26: Jumping Over the Wall
In fact, it did take Ye Xiao half a day to find Jijiabao and enter it.
When he set off from the royal city of Jingzhou, he pretended to be an ordinary businessman - running around with a few men all year round, his face was tired and dusty.
General Ye has lived in the army all the year round, not to mention anything else, his daily training alone has made his complexion much darker than ordinary people. In addition, his physique is strong, quite good at speaking, and he is good at maneuvering, and the identity of Shang Jia is also in line with his god, and others do not suspect him.
General Ye is on a mission, and he does not dare to slack off on the trip.
When he came to Luomei Town, he put down a few of his buddies - actually his entourage, and went to Jijiabao alone early in the morning. The strange thing is that after he came to the gate of the Ji family, he couldn't tell the difference between east and west, north and south, and the Ji family fort in front of him looked so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary, the gate was dilapidated, and the houses were low.
General Ye suspected that he had come to the wrong place for a while.
There was no way, he came and knocked on the door.
The one who opened the door was a bad old man with a rickety back, half-deaf and half-blind, General Ye prepared a basket of kind words, but the old man didn't understand what the knocker in front of him wanted for a long time, and finally closed the broken door with trembling and self-determination.
Ye Xiao was speechless for a while, neither easy to break through or push. When he found that the door he had finally knocked on was closed again, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, General Ye actually ate a bad old man's closed door.
The persevering General Ye knocked on the door again, knocked for a long time and came out again, she opened a crack in the door with difficulty, looked at the visitor with cloudy eyes, raised her shriveled chin, and said with a leaky mouth that she was not a janitor, but an old man. The old man had just gone conveniently, and he had to wait for the old man to come back to judge whether he could come in or not.
Ye Xiao......
I once wondered if this was Jijiabao, and the gatekeeper of Jijiabao was like this?
Ye Xiao had to wait.
While waiting, I thought: Is Jijiabao really like this? I heard that the mask of the lord of Fanji Castle is worth a thousand gold in an ordinary way, not to mention that the lord of the castle is a businessman and has a lot of money. Jijiabao should have a family property of ten thousand golden lights, but now that the gate of Jijiabao is so broken, is the rumor false?
No, some people in the rivers and lakes say that the owner of Jijiabao is tired and lazy, is it because his house is in dilapidation because he is not good at management?
It's not right, Ji Jiabao is good at disguise, could it be that all this in front of him is pretending to be a ghost?
Well, it's possible!
Relax and wait, wait.
Finally waiting for the old man to come over, General Ye stepped forward: "In Xia Ye Xiao, it turned out to be an old acquaintance of the castle owner, please see the lord of Ji Castle if you have something important, please report to the old man." ”
As he spoke, he stared at the old man's flaws, but he couldn't see them no matter how he looked, so he had to give up.
The old man saw that his eyes were bright, and he secretly laughed in his heart: "It's small, I can let you see it!"
The old man spoke upside down, and said without a preface: "Donor, go back, I just met the castle owner just now, and my castle owner is not at home." ”
Donor?
Just met the castle owner?
Not at home?
What is the logic of this?
Ye Xiao found herself being entertained.
At this time, a seven or eight-year-old clever little girl in the door poked her head out and said to Ye Xiao with a smile: "My grandfather is old and can't hear with his ears, so it's a little unclear here." She pointed to her head and smiled embarrassedly, "The owner of my castle is not a guest, you can go, don't send it!" ”
After speaking, he helped the old man to the gatehouse to rest.
"Little girl, can you tell me why the castle lord is not seeing guests?" Ye Xiao hurriedly asked.
"The castle lord is busy, and he has to go for a walk and make tea with our wife after breakfast...... Oops! She suddenly screamed, as if she had made a big mistake, and hurriedly covered her mouth with her free hand, "I shouldn't tell outsiders about my castle master!" ”
After helping the old man, the little girl walked back.
"Would you like to trouble the little girl to report it again? He told the castle owner that Ye Xiao asked to see him. Ye Xiao had something to ask for, he didn't dare to be abrupt, he took out a small bead from his arms and handed it to the little girl, "The beautiful and cute little girl should have a beautiful bead, this bead is for you." ”
The little girl took the beads and looked at them for a long time: "The gentleman said: 'The rich cannot be lewd, the mighty cannot be bent, and the poor cannot be moved. 'Well, this bead is weirdly pretty, all right. With that, she held the beads in her hand, closed the door, and jumped away.
After a quarter of an hour, the little girl came back, and she opened the gate to see General Ye with an expectant face, circling around outside the gate.
Ye Xiao saw her coming over and immediately stepped forward: "What's the matter?" ”
When the little girl saw him coming, her eyelids drooped, and she said in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, the old man of the castle sees that the beads in my hand are beautiful, and I like them, so I was happy to give me two." ”
She stretched out her hand, and saw the other two beads lying quietly in the little girl's hand, which were bigger than the ones she had just given.
The girl said again: "The castle owner said that the sensible little girl can't just accept strangers' things, and said, let you come in and I'll take care of it myself!" ”
Ye Xiao was overjoyed when she heard this, this is so simple! Just say a few nice words to yourself!
But before he could be overjoyed, the cold girl splashed down with a basin of cold water: "I think about it, you better go where you go!" After saying that, he smiled and waved his hand, quickly closed the door and disappeared.
Ye Xiao......
Suddenly a little annoyed and a little crying and laughing. Anyway, he is also an upright general in Shangyuan Country, who has been in the military camp all the year round, and has a majestic body, who dares to be disrespectful when ordinary people see him?
I was tricked twice in less than an hour today! The old man in his old age is just a good one, and one of them is actually a cute little girl who has not dried up!
When I Ye Xiao is made of soft persimmons?
Inside the door, Ji Ping, who had removed his disguise, clapped his hands with the little girl: "Good job, good daughter!" ”
Outside the door, Ye Xiao grinded her teeth and decided not to take the usual path anymore.
Who said that you must go through the main gate when entering Jijiabao?
He began to look for an alternative way to enter Jijiabao.
Gate, hmph, don't go!
Do you want to find a hidden wall point.
Where is it hidden? The walls of these courtyards looked tattered and bare, and from time to time there was a conversation or two of passers-by not far behind them, and it was not good to look at if they were discovered.
It's past noon.
Finally, General Ye found a place that looked like a backyard that was both hidden and easy to climb.
Ye Xiao carefully noted down this place.
At the end of the day, the heroic General Ye turned over and jumped into Jijiabao.
He made a "gentleman over the wall" solidly.
This is counted as entering Jijiabao.
Ye Xiao probed his brain, no, looked left and right, looking for his location. As soon as he took two steps, he heard an indifferent voice behind him: "General Ye is so skilled!" ”
