Li Jiye's original brocade clothes were already in tatters, and he was now accustomed to the feeling of the robe draped on his body, imitating the movements and expressions of those monks, and learning to be decent.

There's no way, if he doesn't learn, if he doesn't pretend to be like it, he will be demolished, and people won't give him food, and Li Jicai is even worse than him, she is wearing the old clothes of the old lady of the Wang family when she was young, Li Jicai left the black cloak with a good texture to the Wang family.

Li Jicai was almost unclothed, and every time she picked up the waterfall rags on the road, she would wash and twist them, and then tangled them together and tied them to her body, tying up her bare places.

Most of the people now wear thin summer shirts, Li Jicai wraps herself in airtightness, in the eyes of outsiders, she is like a nervous disorder, and she is not afraid of dying of heat in the summer.

But it's better to die of heat than to be naked, who knows if there is any special prohibition in ancient times, what particularly revealing clothes are not allowed for women to wear, or whatever.

Even the Tang Dynasty didn't wear short clothes and short-sleeved shorts, she wasn't sure, so she couldn't be unconventional to attract the attention of others, just treat her as a madman, a psychopath, and a fool.

Of course, on the other hand, her outfit also gave Li Jiye a daily pastime, supporting him on this boring and tired road, and there was a little comfort for him, and there was someone to make fun of.

So that in the days to come, this journey will not feel difficult and difficult.

Before the sun set, Li Jicai, Li Jiye and Xiao Erhei finally rushed to the city gate at the south gate of Yingdu, because there was a curfew after dark, and they couldn't enter at that time.

A girl wrapped in all kinds of rags, a little monk dressed in four different ways, and a gray-black tall and majestic wolfdog. This peculiar combination caught the attention of the soldiers guarding the city gates.

In order to prevent vicious dogs from hurting people, Li Jicai decided to follow modern habits, rubbed a long rope and made a loop, and put it around Xiao Erhei's neck.

At the beginning, Xiao Erhei was unwilling, no dog wants to be leashed, right?

Especially this kind of leashed, and then led, it is free by nature, but how can a wolf dog in the wind be willing to be treated like this?

But Li Jicai was afraid that the soldiers guarding the city were not willing to let them in, especially this big wolf dog, what if it scared people? couldn't help but be excited and bite someone, she didn't have the money to go to the doctor.

So Li Jicai spent a whole day educating it in Xiao Erhei's ear, telling it that if it didn't want to be leashed, then it couldn't go with her, and she would drive it away.

I don't know if people and dogs can understand what they say, but Xiao Erhei is probably annoyed by Li Jicai, and finally really obediently asked Li Jicai to put a dog leash on it.

He almost didn't surprise Li Jiye's eyes, he didn't expect Li Jicai to be able to speak dog language, it was incredible.

Xiao Erhei was so spiritual, and he was extremely surprised. This person and dog are too strange.

Not only was Li Jiye surprised, but even when they entered the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city were shocked to see Li Jicai walking the big wolf dog into the city.

Well, how to say it, at least in the capital, except for the juggling monkey, no one will lead a dog, especially a dog with such a vicious appearance, isn't she afraid of a woman?

But in modern times, all dogs not only have to hold the dog leash, but also have to be vaccinated and bathed regularly, but also have to do examinations, sterilization operations, dog tags, and certificates, all kinds of bells and whistles, are very normal, so Li Jicai also felt very normal when he was holding Xiao Erhei, and he didn't feel that anything was wrong.

Coupled with her strange and tattered costume, it is easy to think that she is from another country, so it is inevitable that Li Jicai was interrogated by the soldiers defending the city.

Compared with Li Jicai's eloquent and generous conversation, Li Jiye was a little nervous, because he was indeed not from Chu.

But fortunately, Li Jicai has discussed with him countless times along the way, and they will definitely be interrogated when they want to enter the capital, so when they are interrogated, the two of them must confess in advance, and they can't be misunderstood by others except for what is wrong, and it will be bad if they are not let in at that time.

So their unified caliber is that their hometown is a small town below the south of the Yangtze River, there was a recent summer flood, the family was washed away, and both parents died, she took her younger brother to the capital as an older sister to go to distant relatives, her name is Li Jicai, and her younger brother is called Li Jiye.

If you want to ask which distant relatives in the capital are defectors, they hear that there are many small traders doing business in the capital, so they casually say that one is a vegetable seller, specializing in serving vegetables to restaurants, and if they want to ask what their surname is, they will say that their surname is Gao.

When they are on the road, in order to avoid being dressed up at that time, they will always come to rehearse when they are resting on the road, where they rest at night, according to Li Jicai, this is called rehearsal.

It has been rehearsed in advance, the rehearsal is familiar, and the facial expressions and language are in place, so it will definitely not arouse people's suspicions. Li Jiye felt that Li Jicai's idea was very good and comprehensive, so he was also very cooperative.

When they couldn't see their fingers at night, the two of them relied on each other like this, relying on rehearsals, laughing and chatting, and playing with Xiao Erhei to relieve their inner fears.

They slept in many places along the way, including ruined temples, abandoned houses, caves, roadside pergolas, and even watermelon fields.

Thanks to the fact that Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, the land is fertile and there are many fruits and vegetables planted, and they only need to encounter melon and fruit fields on the road, and there is no one who does not start, which also more or less alleviates their predicament.

"What's your name?" A tall soldier with an ochre-complexed face and a resolute face stood still in front of Li Jicai wearing a stiff suit of armor and holding a weapon in his hand.

She doesn't know what this weapon is, the knives, forks, swords, halberds that are often said on TV, maybe this, what is this soldier holding in his hand, but out of curiosity, Li Jicai stared at this weapon and looked at it, if it is brought to modern times, is this thing worth it?

"Li Jicai." Looking at it, she still didn't forget to bow her body slightly, and then replied with a respectful look at the soldier with a smile.

Li Jicai looked at his weapon intently, and the soldier was slightly nervous, could it be that this woman wanted to snatch the weapon in his hand? Without a trace, he took a step back and made a slightly defensive move.

The soldier tilted his head, and looked at Li Jiye who was standing behind, and before he could speak, Li Jicai turned sideways, and then said in an introductory tone: "This is my younger brother, Li Jiye, my hometown has suffered a disaster, my parents are gone, and we have come to join our relatives in Kyoto." ”

There was just the right amount of sadness on Li Jicai's face, which made people unconsciously believe her words. A thin and small, only thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, where can people set up heavy defenses?

"This is our family raised dog since childhood, called Xiao Erhei, very well-behaved and never barks or bites, our family has always held it." While the soldiers were thinking, Li Jicai also introduced Xiao Erhei's identity by the way.

Although a dog doesn't really need to be introduced.

The soldier looked at the strangely dressed brother and sister, and then at the fierce-looking big wolf dog, although he hesitated, but still interrogated some specific details, and the other party answered fluently, and in the end there was no special reason, so he had to let go.

Most of the soldiers guarding the city have not heard what the people in various places below the Chu State say, as long as they speak the Chu language, they can be identified as Chu people, generally people from other countries will speak with a strong exotic tone, and their appearance can also be distinguished, but it is obvious that Li Jicai's sister and brother do not look like people from other countries.

And it was almost time to turn over the shift, and they rushed all the way over, and they looked very pitiful in tattered clothes, so they didn't embarrass them.

So the soldiers generously let them pass the inspection, and the other two rows of soldiers who were watching from the side did not have any objections, they were all subordinates of the soldiers who were inspected.

When the tall and mighty city gate slowly closed, Li Jicai glanced back at the city gate, and suddenly a strange feeling emerged in his heart, just like the kind of sentence that the heroine must say when she often sees the heroine in the palace in TV dramas: "Once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea." ”

After all, this is the capital of the Chu State, and it is logically the most political, economic, and military concentration area, and it is also the most prosperous place.

I hope she can find a place to live in this prosperous capital, and then she can one day realize her wish to return to modern times.

The gap between big cities and small places, of course, Li Jicai knows that each has its own benefits, but if a place is more remote and backward, it is definitely not a good thing for her to be an orphan girl, if it is in the capital, she can still struggle.

And in a small place, I am afraid that I will not follow the experience in the western suburbs of Jinzhou, and become the wife of a certain peasant who was forcibly taken back, and the emperor is far away, and he can't control it.

She is powerless and powerless, and she is about to have another experience in the capital, and I don't know what Li Jiye's plans will be.

By the time they entered the city gate, the sun had set, the tall city walls had completely blocked out the sun, and lanterns had been hung up in every house in the capital, and the road reflected on the white and clean stone pavement was very bright.

At this point, everyone should be having dinner, right? Li Jicai thought about it and felt that his stomach was also gurgling, so hungry.

After eating the last meal for so many days, when will we be able to achieve a well-off society and have meat?

Pulling Xiao Erhei and taking Li Jiye to the city, they did not walk along the main road, but walked to the corner of the alley and suddenly turned in.

It was Li Jicai who took the initiative to guide in.
