Chapter 039

The next day, the old lady ordered the kitchen to prepare a lighter meal for her.

When Meng Shi learned this, he pondered for a moment and ordered the kitchen.

At lunchtime, the food delivered to the old lady's house was very light, boiled greens, boiled cabbage, boiled tofu...... The old lady was used to eating a lot of oil and meat, and she couldn't swallow a single bite of the green vegetables and tofu on the table, so she withdrew them all and asked the kitchen to make a new dish with a little oil.

The old lady spoke, and the kitchen man was quick to make a copy. Stir-fried chicken slices with mushrooms, braised fish pieces......

This time it looked much more decent, The old lady was satisfied with a chopstick, put it in her mouth and chewed it, her brows immediately wrinkled, less oil, less salt, and the taste was the same as chewing wax. After a few bites, the old lady put down the chopsticks, and had already redone them, and asked the kitchen to redo them, and she was too embarrassed to speak, and besides, she didn't even know what the rework would look like.

The old lady didn't know, This was all specially arranged by Meng's, in fact, even if there is less oil and less salt, it can be delicious, but Meng's deliberately made it difficult for the people in the kitchen to make it very palatable, plus the food given to the old lady a while ago was a lot of lard, she couldn't adapt to it all of a sudden, and naturally felt that she couldn't swallow it.

The grandmother who served her called a little maid to come in and clean up the meal, and the little maid looked at the barely untouched meal with pity in her eyes, and quietly looked up at the old lady.

The old lady didn't eat, she was in a bad mood, and her face sank, "What are you looking at?!" Do you think I'm fat? ”

The little maid was so frightened that her face was like earth, and she knelt down with a puff, "No, no, no, the slave maid thinks, thinks that you are just right, just like the Buddha and Guanyin." ”

"What Buddha Guanyin?" The old lady frowned, why is this girl stupid?

"When the slave maid and the slave maid went to the temple, they saw that the Buddha statue and Guanyin statue in the temple were all rich and peaceful, and none of them were thin and thin. The little maid lay on the ground and kowtowed, "Slave, slave think, old lady, you are very similar to that Guanyin." ”

The old lady was overjoyed. If people want to do something and don't want to do something, they will always subconsciously make excuses, not to mention that this little girl said that she was like Guanyin and that she had great blessings. Besides, none of the Buddha Guanyin is really thin, all of them are rich, not to mention the smiling Maitreya Buddha. The old lady suddenly felt that she was not fat at all, and it was a blessing to be a little rich, and she decided not to eat any boiled vegetables again.

"Alright, get up." The old lady saw that the little maid's head was blue, and asked her to grab a handful of money, "You are a sincere person, go play." ”

So, the old lady's light diet lasted only one noon, and then resumed at dinner. Eating fragrant food, the old lady felt that eating green vegetables and tofu again would be simply unbearable with herself, and she would lose her great blessing.

Meng Shi listened to the news from the kitchen and smiled slightly, it doesn't matter, even if this method is slower, she can afford to wait.

……

Ye Li took a small servant through the bustling Xihua Street, smelled the smell of crispy chicken, and thought to herself, my sister likes this crispy chicken very much, but there are too many people in line every time. Ye Li saw that it was still early, so he asked the little guy to line up, and he stood in the shady alley and waited.

An honest farmer walked into the alley and stared at Ye Li in a daze.

Ye Li's sword eyebrows furrowed, and Xingmu looked at him coldly, this person should have just entered the city, and he didn't know how to be polite, if he met an arrogant person, he would definitely be beaten if he stared at others like this. Ye Li didn't intend to embarrass him, but he didn't want to be looked at like this by him.

The man's neck shrunk, but he didn't avoid his gaze, but walked towards Ye Li, "You, this ...... Master, the person next to you said that you are the prince of Jiping Houshi, are you? ”

Ye Li was a little surprised, could it be that he came to find him, and nodded, "I am, are you in trouble?" ”

"Oops, I've found someone!" The man looked surprised, groped around his body, took out a piece of jade pendant that looked ordinary, and handed it to Ye Li, "Do you know this thing?" ”

Ye Li glanced at it, his face changed greatly, he knew this jade pendant! This is the jade pendant he gave to his father!

When his father was a waiter in the household department, when he was busy, he often had to stay overnight in the household department, and he couldn't go home for a few days, he bought this jade pendant with the moon silver he saved, and carved a crooked "sharp" word in a corner, and gave it to his father, saying that "with this jade pendant, it is equivalent to a son accompanying you", the jade pendant is not good, and the words he carved are also ugly, but his father likes it very much, and he did not take it off when he wore it on his body until the day he disappeared.

"Where did you get this jade pendant?" Ye Li grabbed the jade pendant and asked excitedly, this jade pendant is from his father, is his father still alive, and his father asked this person to come?

"Do you know this jade pendant? Then I've found the right person! The man slapped his thigh, "Oh, let me tell you, seven years ago, there was a teacher in our village, he didn't remember who he was, he lived in our village, teaching for a living, he had a serious illness the day before, and suddenly remembered who he was, saying that he was Ji Pinghou, and he had to let me bring this jade pendant to find Ji Pinghou's son, and said, "You are his son, and you want to see your son before you die." Oops, he was sick and dying, and I saw that he was pitiful, so I agreed-"

"Where is your village?!" Ye Li's mood was really up and down, when he heard that his father was still alive, he was so happy that he wanted to turn over a few heels, and when he heard that his father was sick and dying, he couldn't wait to have wings, so he flew over immediately, where did he still have the heart to listen to him.

The man was spitting as he spoke, and was startled by Ye Li's roar, his neck shrank, and he whispered: "Our village is at the foot of Baique Mountain, called Queluo Village." ”

After hearing what he said, Ye Li turned over and got on his horse and galloped away.

The man watched Ye Li's figure disappear, smiled, turned around and just wanted to leave, when someone knocked a stick on his head, and his body fell softly, and then, someone supported his body and took him into a carriage.

Ye Li didn't know about Queluo Village, but he knew that Baique Mountain, walked fifty miles along the official road, turned into a small road, passed through a long and narrow valley, and walked more than ten miles to arrive.

Ye Li's horse rode fast, the corner of the blue brocade robe was raised, the wind passed by his ears, his starry eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked intently at the path in front of him, the sky was getting dark, if it weren't for his excellent eyesight in martial arts, he would never have been able to run so fast on this path.

Even so, he had to slow down when he entered the valley, which was full of stones, and if the horse was injured, his speed would be even slower.

Ye Li was anxious, and the horse carefully avoided the stones on the ground. Suddenly, the hairs on his neck stood on end, and a creepy feeling made his heart tighten, as if something very dangerous was approaching.

What is it? Ye Li reined in the horse, listening carefully, it seemed to be the dull sound of a boulder hitting the mountain wall. Ye Li reacted suddenly, he didn't have time to look at the horse, he didn't have time to take a closer look, his body jumped out of the horse directly, like an arrow off the string, shooting out quickly in front of him.

The moment he flew away from the horse's back, a hook came to the horse's back, and if he hadn't left, it would have taken him away. Ye Li didn't look back, and naturally he didn't find this hook lock, and he didn't look back until he was a hundred steps away, feeling that there was no danger, so he stopped.

Many large stones had fallen down from the hill, and they had fallen where he had stopped, and the poor horse had been stoned to death, and his death was terrible, and blood and intestines were spilling all over the ground.

It is not a coincidence that so many stones happened to fall here, it should be man-made. Ye Li's hot heart calmed down, someone deliberately lured him here, using the news that his father was still alive. Since he is not dead, the other party should still have a back move, Ye Li's hand held the hilt of the sword, and his thumb pushed away the scabbard, revealing a snowy blade. Fortunately, he is not a weak scholar, no matter who wants to plot against himself today, he will also fight his way.

More than 20 figures emerged in the darkness, "Pap, papa, pap", and the person at the head applauded lightly and said with a smile: "The little brother is good, it's a pity, it's a pity." ”

Someone sang and harmonized with him, "Big brother, what's the pity? ”

"It's a pity that no matter how good his skills are, he is destined to be inseparable from this valley of broken souls today."

Ye Li counted the number of people on the other side and estimated his chances of winning, "Who sent you?" ”

"Huh." The leader shook his head, "Although it is said that you are going to die anyway, it doesn't hurt to tell you, but take people's money for others."

We also have our rules, so ah, we can't say it. ”

Ye Li pulled out his sword with a snort, "Then don't talk nonsense, come over if you have the guts!" ”

"What guts!" The leader was quite verbose, "Little brother, have you ever killed someone?" ”

Ye Lixing's eyes were a little cold, "What if you haven't killed it, just take you to be the first!" ”

"Then let's try it." The leader waved his hand lazily, "Brothers, all together." ”

More than 20 people rushed up, with all kinds of weapons in their hands, some people were holding axes, some people were chopping wood machetes in their hands, Ye Li's snowy sword danced vigorously, and more than 20 people were helpless for a while.

"Tsk, what a bunch of shit." The eldest brother shook his head helplessly and joined the battle group.

Ye Li had never had this kind of life-and-death experience, he had fought with the guards of the Yu Palace, but it was just a fight, and neither side had any desperate intentions. Now it's different, a little carelessness is a dead end, he tried his best, but after all, there were many people on the other side, and gradually, the sword in his hand was not as fast as it was at the beginning.

Neither side of the fight noticed that not far away, there were several figures standing quietly.

"Boss, let's ...... Don't go over and help? "That's the master's uncle, if something happens, the master will have to skin them.

"What's the hurry, this is a rare experience against the enemy, let him see for a long time." Having said that, the bow and arrow in his hand had quietly pulled away a little.

Ye Li's kung fu is very good, but the person who is the leader is not weak, plus there are many people on the other side, he fights with the person who is the leader, and he has to guard against the sneak attack of the other party's younger brother.

Ye Li clenched his teeth, he couldn't be defeated, he couldn't die here, he still had his mother, and his sister, who was raised by himself, was only eight years old, and he still needed his care. Thinking of his sister, Ye Li's spirits perked up, and the long sword in his hand became sharp again.

The thief led by him was quite experienced, seeing that Ye Li was obviously about to run out of strength, he didn't know why he was excited again, he didn't fight head-on, he just dragged Ye Li, anyway, there were many of them, as long as it was long enough, Ye Li would naturally lose.

He was right, Ye Li had more than one enemy, no matter how much he looked forward to returning to his sister in his heart, the sword in his hand was still dancing more and more slowly.

The thief led by the thief gave a few junior brothers a look, and the weapons in the hands of the younger brothers beckoned towards Ye Li, Ye Li knew that it was not good, blocked a few axes and machetes, and turned back suddenly, but saw that the thief's long sword had reached his chest.

It's too late to hide.

The sword in Ye Li's hand stabbed straight out, even if he died, he would die together. His eyes widened, and his heart was filled with infinite regret: Qianqian, I'm sorry, my brother can't protect you.
