Chapter 11: The Human Flesh Shop
"I'm afraid, Brother Qing", hearing that the black-faced man was Chao Chuan, the crescent moon seemed to be much bolder.
"Mademoiselle thought I would be afraid of him"? Qing Cifei gritted his teeth, said to Yue'er, and glanced at Chao Chuan after speaking.
There was no expression on Chao Chuan's dark face.
"The ranking of the four major swordsmen was a few years ago, and it is not clear which one is stronger or weaker now", Qing Cifei continued: "Brother Chao is interested, you can have a competition."
"I don't have time to compete with you", Chao Chuan said coldly: "I don't have any interest in your affairs."
Yue'er was a little anxious: "I have spent money to treat you to food and accommodation these days, why are you so ungrateful"?
"I said, I don't have any money for you, and I can't help it if you volunteer", Chao Chuan still has an unchanged black face.
"Let's go back with Mr. Qing at the crescent moon", Tian Yi looked at it for a long time and finally spoke: "Mr. Qing has no malicious intent, seeing that this situation should be that you run away from home, it is better to go home first and report your safety."
"You~~", the crescent moon was speechless angrily, thought about it, and said angrily: "Then what about your illness?" My uncle, why don't you go back with me." After speaking, he looked at Tian Yi, and then looked at Qing Cifei.
Keijifei shook his head, obviously disagreeing.
"Come with me, my house is not far from here", Chao Chuan's words were surprising, "There are less than 100 miles to the west from here".
"That's the only way, I'll go to you after I go home to visit", Yue'er finished speaking, thinking in her heart, why did this black face suddenly become enthusiastic again? But there is no other way. continued: "There are coils in the baggage, and don't forget to eat the pills, this horse will be given to Mr. Chao, and the province is walking so slowly."
After speaking, he followed Qing Cifei and the others away.
Tian Yi watched the crescent moon leave from afar, vaguely reluctant.
This place has belonged to the boundary of Jicheng in Yanwang City, and Chao Chuan took Tian Yi to the west of the city.
"You are not Tian An", as he was walking, Chao Chuan suddenly spoke, "I know Tian An, and it was Tian An who came to report to me not long ago."
"I am Tian Yi, the second son of the Marquis of Pingling", Tian Yi heard Chao Chuan say Tian An's name, and felt that there was no need to hide anything.
"You are the second son"? Chao Chuan drank the horses, dismounted and gave Tian Yi a salute, "The appearance of the second son~"?
Tian Yi sighed: "Sir, let's get on the horse and talk while walking."
"I didn't expect there to be so many changes", Chao Chuan couldn't help but sigh after listening to Tian Yi's detailed words, "No wonder I see that the son's body shape and appearance are extremely incommensurate."
As the two of them talked, they saw a wooden house. There are three wooden houses side by side, with a simple shelf in front of the door, and a village in the distance to the north, and woods not far to the west, and small roads and farmland around it.
Someone in the house heard the voice and opened the door to greet him: "It turned out that Daddy is back", a woman's weak voice came.
"Yun'er, come over and see Childe", Chao Chuan said to the woman who greeted him.
Yun'er came over to give Tian Yi a salute, and Tian Yi saw that this woman not only had a weak voice, but also had a thin body, a yellow face and thin muscles, and although her clothes were shabby, she was also clean, and she looked like a village girl, and she seemed to be older than herself.
"You're welcome", Tian Yi returned the salute.
The three of them entered the wooden house, the furnishings in the wooden house were very simple, and after Yun'er cooked tea for the two, they entered the hut on the left and did not come out.
Although it was coarse tea, Tian Yi took a sip, it was also fragrant tea, and asked the question he had asked again: "I don't know what Mr. Chao has with his father, and why does he live in Yan Kingdom?"
"Childe doesn't ask, I have to talk to Childe in the future", Chao Chuan took a sip of tea, thought for a while, and continued: "In a blink of an eye, it has been almost more than 20 years since I arrived here."
"More than 20 years ago, I was a pawn in the army of Qi State, and I was fortunate to listen to orders in front of the Pingling Marquis who was the general of Xincheng at that time."
"One day the Zhao army raided the country, the guard asked the general for help, the general has always been friendly with the guard, so he led the army into the guard to help, although the Zhao army was repulsed, but there were also injuries, I was injured in the battle of the right leg, and later although healed, but has fallen disabled, lame and walking."
"The general has always loved the people like a son, and treats his subordinates like a nephew, and when he saw that I was unable to move, he sent me back to the city to live in a house near the Hou Mansion, and opened a tea stall not far from the house. That house was originally a place set up by the Hou Ye to deliver news, and the tea stall seemed to be a safe place specially set up for me, and I usually lived a leisurely life. I've always been obsessed with swordsmanship, and when I have free time, I devote myself to studying. ”
"On this day, Lao He, a regular customer of the tea stall, told me that the braised meat shop opposite the tea stall has recently advanced greatly for some reason, and the braised meat made is very delicious, so he has to ask me to taste it."
"There is food who doesn't want to taste, I received the tea stall that night, I went to the opposite side with Lao He, I didn't enter the door and the aroma was already fragrant, and the store was full of customers. After waiting for a while, there was an empty seat, and I asked Lao He for braised pork to taste."
"Sure enough, the taste is extremely beautiful, Lao He said: 'I didn't lie to you'. I replied, 'This meat is really delicious, it is incomparable, but I tell you that this meat is not ordinary meat, I have eaten it, it is human flesh.'" Lao He was immediately stunned when he heard it."
