Chapter 128: The Incense Stealing Incident
Ever since Li Jicai revealed her intentions, Li Jiye has suppressed her as if she was unworthy, saying that they were not worthy.
"Hmph, the cutest height difference, do you know how? You're happy. ”
"What is Lese? You're talking your hometown again, and you're definitely scolding me. Li Jiye glared angrily, he was not stupid.
"You're annoyed, let's go, don't delay me to do things." Li Jicai turned the rag in his hand and turned his back into the house.
A path has been swept out of the middle of the courtyard to make it easy to walk. Li Jicai must have gotten up in the morning to shovel the snow, but now that a thin layer of snow has accumulated, I don't know how long it will fall today.
Having said that, this year's snow is really heavy, and there hasn't been such a dense snowfall in the previous two years.
Li Jicai said a common saying, and he still remembered it in his heart, as if he was saying something: "In winter, the wheat covers the three-layer quilt, and sleeps on the pillow of steamed buns in the coming year." "In other words, it's a good thing that the snow is thick this year.
However, in the past, he did not think that snow was a good thing.
As soon as it snows, the beggars, the poor, and the poor outside will starve and freeze, thinking that if he and Li Jicai had come to beg in winter, it is estimated that they would have starved to death.
Rich and noble families who have surplus naturally do not have to worry, cooking cattle and slaughtering sheep for pleasure, and drinking 300 cups.
Anyway, each has his own fate, who knew that he, a dignified emperor of the Yan Kingdom, would be able to fall to the Chu State.
It is definitely not okay to go to the temple to steal incense, so he still honestly goes to the market to find a shop that sells incense and candles and brings some back.
After exiting the door, walk down the alley. It was difficult to walk on the slippery stone road, so Li Jiye leaned against the wall and moved out cautiously.
He didn't want to fall and get his clothes dirty, because it was really painful to wash clothes in winter.
Thief TMD cold.
Of course, this sentence was also learned from Li Jicai.
Just as Li Jiye turned a corner and was about to leave the alley, two figures suddenly blocked his way in front of him.
The other party's whole body was tightly wrapped, and only a pair of eyes were exposed, looking fierce.
"Childe stays." A slightly stout man on the left suddenly spat out three words.
Li Jiye originally wanted to ask these two people to make way for him and let him pass through the middle.
But I didn't expect to hear what they said, and suddenly my eyes widened in surprise and looked at them in disbelief.
They are not from the Chu Kingdom, at least their accent is very pure Yan Country accent, if it is not for the years of living in the Yan Kingdom, they will never be able to say such original words.
No, the other party can't be the person he thinks, right? No, no, no, he can't show a flustered appearance, even if it is a familiar accent, it is possible that he is trying to deceive him.
The person on the left of "Three Princes Stay" added another sentence, still waiting patiently for Li Jiye, and the other party also took into account that Li Jiye might not believe them.
Therefore, they can emphasize the word "three", because in Yan Kingdom, Li Jiye ranks third.
"Inherit the Yanli."
When these four words were spoken, Li Jiye had already completely believed their identity.
When their eyes met, they each nodded.
The two big men took the lead in turning around and walked in the direction of another small alley, while Li Jiye gave up his plan to go to the market and silently followed behind the two big men, following in the same direction.
Li Jiye was nervous and frightened by their arrival, and he didn't know what kind of mood he should have to face them.
Because of the reason why he was hunted down and killed in the first place, he didn't dare to inquire about the news of Chu Guoding, lest others find him like a dog looking for a smell.
However, this does not mean that he does not think about it, after all, it is difficult to leave his homeland.
Li Jiye is also very contradictory, on the one hand, he is very satisfied with the current life with Li Jicai, with a stable income, although he is in the officialdom, but what he does is inconsequential things, and what he does is also idle.
On the other hand, he is not from the Chu State, if he is discovered one day, the consequences will be unimaginable, will he be used by the Chu State to threaten the Yan State? It's all unpredictable, after all, it's a foreign country, after all, it's a Chu country with a more xenophobic heart.
After all, "those who are not of my race will have different hearts." ”
Li Jicai has been cleaning at home for a long time, and at noon he thought about waiting for Li Jiye to come back and eat noodles with big stick bones, but until the afternoon, Li Jiye didn't come back, and he didn't know what to do, even if he went out to steal food, he should come back.
When she comes back, she has to interrogate and interrogate her, ask what the hell is going on, why don't you call her for stealing delicious food, this guy must be secretly hiding private money.
If she was still doing business in Suiyuanju, Li Jicai might not pay too much attention to where she went, but now it is different, now that she has no income, she may have to see Li Jiye's face in the future, thinking about it, alas, life.
Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river, feng shui in turn.
After Mrs. Fan died, she lived in Mrs. Fan's room and did not feel afraid.
Although the old lady looks like a very serious old lady on the surface, she is actually very kind, very kind to them, and takes special care of them.
If it weren't for the old lady, she and Li Jiye would have starved to death on the streets, where would they be now.
When I was cleaning up the room today, I accidentally picked up a gold earring under the bed, a very simple style, and there is no texture, it is a bare plate earring.
Li Jicai has no doubt that this is Mrs. Fan's thing, like her usual simple and simple life. When I think of her, I can't help but remind myself that people should have a grateful heart, thank you for your companionship, and thank you for your care all the time.
Li Jicai carefully stored the single earring, found a piece of fine silk cloth, wrapped it carefully, and then stuffed it into the bottom of the box, so that it could not be easily turned out.
In fact, excluding the reason for cleaning, Li Jicai is still very willing to do housework, because when doing housework, there are often some unexpected discoveries, such as the relics of Mrs. Fan found under the bed today, even in modern times, she is very fond of it.
The little sister born to the stepmother loves to throw things around, she is young and lively, and she often makes a mess of the house, and the stepmother asks Li Jicai to clean it up every time.
If Li Jicai didn't have time to clean up, the stepmother would sue her father after he came back, saying that Li Jicai had made a mess of the house, and every time Li Jicai had a hard time arguing, because the little sister would point at her with the stepmother.
After that, she would be severely beaten.
Later, Li Jicai learned to be obedient, and cleaned up diligently and neatly, so that his stepmother couldn't make mistakes, and she would put the garbage in the garbage bag, and then sneak out of the door when she threw the garbage, and then classify the garbage.
You can always turn over a two-piece coin, or a small biscuit, or a small jelly. During that time, she simply fell in love with cleaning, especially when she didn't have enough to eat.
The strong aroma of the big bones boiled is attractive, Li Jiye is really visionless, and he also eats bone soup noodles for dinner, but he is a little choked, and his appetite is not very good.
Li Jicai put down the hand holding the noodles, when he was alone, he always couldn't help but recall the past, and after recalling the past, the noodles were also cold, and he suddenly lost his appetite.
If you go back to modern times, you will see yourself who must have been hit, but it was not good in ancient times, and the job was gone, and you could only hide and hide like a little mouse when you got into trouble, and you still offended great people, and I don't know if people can forgive yourself.
Li Jicai couldn't help but sigh, she was really difficult.
Why hasn't Li Jiye come back yet? Everyone is a little afraid of being alone.
In winter, when the sky is getting dark quickly, and when night is approaching, Li Jicai plans to pour the noodles in his hand and go out with a lantern to find Li Jiye, at least to the market to ask.
In case Li Jiye was arrested, maybe Qi Qingchu asked her to be careful and not to swagger outside?
There is no Xiao Erhei, and no one can solve the leftovers, so it's a waste of food.
With a dull face, Li Jicai got up from the small table in the kitchen and walked outside. The candles in the kitchen are flickering, and the candles that are almost at the bottom are burning, and gradually the flames are getting bigger and smaller, or maybe there is some kind of wind.
Li Jicai just stepped out of the kitchen door, exhaled lightly, and took a deep breath of cold air, infiltrating his heart and lungs, and suddenly felt that the whole person was a lot more sober.
How these days have become more and more difficult.
The sound of the door being pushed open, the sound of snow falling and falling, followed by the sound of "creaking, creaking" footsteps.
Li Jicai was shocked in his heart, his body couldn't help shaking, and he didn't know whether he was cold or scared. There was no lantern hanging at the gate, and she couldn't tell who was walking in, and she forgot to tie the door shut.
I could only pretend to be casual and shouted: "I'm back, why is it so slow, the noodles are cold." The tone was reproachful, with a bit of uncertainty.
However, the black figure who came in didn't answer Li Jicai much, and slowly moved in her direction against the background of the snow, and the figure seemed to be infinitely magnified in Li Jicai's eyes.
Suddenly, Li Jicai remembered that night when she was abused and beaten by the butcher, it seems that she has been released for a long time, right? The neighbors are not familiar with it, if it weren't for Li Jiye, who would it be? Who's going to come here at night?
"Li Jiye, I said that you pretended to be a ghost and didn't answer, what's the matter? Who to scare? Li Jicai said boldly.
But it wasn't until the black shadow walked up the steps and revealed his face little by little, that Li Jicai's heart rose to his throat and then fell to the ground suddenly, and he was about to be scared out of his heart attack between the ups and downs.
Don't he want to be so scary!
"Li Jiye, I'm really a dog! You promised me that I would die?! After Li Jicai saw clearly that it was Li Jiye who was covered with snow on his head, he suddenly became furious, this force was definitely deliberately scaring her, looking at his eyes without blinking, he pretended to be really similar.
"Hey, what are you doing? Why ignore me? Li Jicai looked at her inexplicably, and walked to her, what else was she pretending, she recognized it.
