Chapter 18: Hurry away after eating
Even Xiang Ye was frightened when she cried, judging from her expression, Chi Xue'e didn't look like she was pretending, if she was really pretending, if she was born two thousand years later, she would definitely be able to win an Oscar Golden Villain Crying Nose Award, this level of crying is much stronger than those who point eye drops and saliva.
The guy was not frightened by Chi Xue'e's tears, he pinched his chin and groaned for a moment and asked the two, "You don't even have no money for food, do you?" ”
Chi Xue'e reached out and touched it in her arms for a while, and finally raised her head helplessly to look at Xiang Ye, who was sitting opposite, and said with a bitter face: "I lost all my money, didn't I give you fifty copper coins yesterday?" Take it out, we can't eat for nothing. ”
Xiang Ye was stunned for a moment, and looked at Chi Xue'e stupidly, he didn't remember when she gave him money. But soon he saw the clue in Chi Xue'e's eyes, and hurriedly reached out and touched it in his arms.
Originally, he also wanted to rummage around like Chi Xue'e and then tell the guy that the money was lost, but when his hand was stuffed into his arms, he actually touched a string of copper coins tied up with hemp rope, and his eyes suddenly widened in shock.
The guy looked at the copper coins on the table and frowned, and said to the two: "Two, this money is not enough for accommodation and this meal." ”
After that, he bent down and picked up the copper tripod on the table, and casually tucked the wine jar he had brought before into his arms, and said with a displeased face: "The wine is gone, and this tripod has to be removed in half!" ”
Xiang Ye saw that the guy was moving his things away, and he wanted to stand up and reason with him, but Chi Xue'e, who was sitting opposite, gave him a look, and he sat down again.
Soon after the man brought the ding back to the back hall, he brought a plate of meat and a clay pot with some emerald green vegetable leaves floating in the pot.
Xiang Ye looked at Chi Xue'e, and saw that Chi Xue'e picked up the chopsticks and stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth and chewed it carefully, so he picked up the chopsticks and went to the green cabbage leaves in the soup pot.
The green leaves were slippery in the mouth, and he felt a little familiar in taste, and after tasting it for a while, he suddenly slapped his head and exclaimed: "I said what is Aoi, it turns out to be amaranth!" I used to think it was sunflower leaves! ”
His strange cry startled Chi Xue'e, who was sitting opposite, and quickly raised his head to look at him, and asked with a puzzled face, "What is amaranth?" What is a sunflower? ”
It wasn't until Chi Xue'e opened her mouth to ask that Xiang Ye patted her forehead a little embarrassed and smiled: "It's nothing, it's nothing, I'm just thinking of the two plants in my hometown." ”
"Oh!" Chi Xue'e sighed, lowered her head and pinched a sunflower leaf, put the sunflower leaf to her mouth, she suddenly raised her head again and asked Xiang Ye: "I see that you don't seem to know anything that many people know, so I feel a little wonderful, where is your hometown?" Why do you call sunflower amaranth there? ”
Xiang Ye shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't know, I forgot where my hometown is." ”
When it comes to his hometown, he is very helpless, as long as everyone living in the world has a hometown, but Xiang Ye doesn't know where he should go to find his hometown.
Spanning 2,000 years, even if he finds the land where he was born and raised, is it still the hometown he remembers to be familiar with?
Chi Xue'e saw the distress in Xiang Ye's heart, and no longer asked about his hometown, silently lowering her head and eating the dishes on the table.
When the guy brought it up again, Sheng Ji's Ding was a set smaller than before. He put Ding on the table with his face in his face, and did not stand aside with a smile on his face as he did just now, watching them eat, and turned to leave.
"Whew!" Xiang Ye pursed his lips disdainfully towards the back of the guy, and muttered in a low voice: "It's really a dog's eye, knowing that we have no money, we pulled a dead face, and when we first entered the store, we stood on the side like a grandson." ”
"The worse his attitude, the more comfortable I am at eating this meal." Xiang Ye's face was full of resentment, but Chi Xue'e, who was sitting opposite him, smacked the dishes on the table with peace of mind, and after she finished chewing a piece of meat, she continued: "Let's leave here after eating, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay in Suiyang City." ”
Xiang Ye glanced at Chi Xue'e, didn't ask why, lowered his head and devoured it.
He hadn't slept all night, and he really wanted to stay in the hall and sleep well, but since Chi Xue'e said that she would leave after eating, she must have a reason.
After the two hurriedly finished eating, they simply cleaned up and left the building.
When the man saw them leaving, he pouted and snorted, but he didn't stop them, and let them go out of the door.
"Let's go buy some medicine." Out of the pavilion, Chi Xue'e seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat on her forehead and said to Xiang Ye: "When you enter the pavilion in the future, you will see my eyes and act, and you must not be willful." ”
"When did I come to the wayward nonsense?" Xiang Ye glanced at Chi Xue'e very depressedly, and then asked, "Then again, why were you always nervous just now?" Is it possible to eat people in the halls of the city? ”
"Do you think they won't eat people?" Chi Xue'e said as she walked forward: "Now is a troubled time, compared to the past, all forces need to collect money in order to grow, some forces simply choose to rob merchants who come and go, if I don't have many eyes on businessmen, I'm afraid I have already fallen into the way of others." ”
"Ugh!" Xiang Ye nodded, what Chi Xue'e said did make sense, a beautiful woman like her who walks outside and has a huge amount of wealth, if she doesn't pay much attention, it is really easy to fall into the trap of someone with a heart, but there is one thing he still doesn't understand, Xiang Ye, who is leading a donkey in his left hand and a mule in his right hand, stepped forward two steps forward and walked side by side with Chi Xue'e and asked, "How did you see that there was something wrong with the guys in the pavilion?" ”
Chi Xue'e's gaze stayed on a small house with a few dustpans outside the door not far ahead, and she said to him as if she hadn't heard Xiang Ye's question at all: "There is a pharmacy in front, let's go buy some medicine for injuries, and then leave Suiyang quickly." ”
As she spoke, she quickened her pace again.
The two bought some medicine for injuries prepared by the pharmacy, Chi Xue'e stuffed the bottles of medicine she bought into her arms, turned over and rode on the mule and said to Xiang Ye: "This time you ride a donkey, I ride a mule." ”
Xiang Ye answered and rode on the donkey. But the donkey seemed to be very reluctant to let him ride, and when he had turned on the donkey's back, the donkey craned its neck and howled twice, and spun around a few times, as if trying to throw him off the donkey's back.
"You flat-haired brute!" From the first time Xiang Ye led this donkey, the donkey seemed to be against him very much, and this time it finally him off, he rode on the back of the donkey and punched the donkey's fart-thigh and scolded: "The beauty rides on your back, you are very well-behaved, why do you ride Lao Tzu and you squirt?" Could it be that the fart-stock of a beautiful woman is softer than Lao Tzu's? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Xue'e turned her face and glared at him, and he quickly shrank his neck and stopped scolding the little donkey under his crotch.
Strange to say, after he punched his fist, the little donkey actually became tame, and obediently followed the mule that Chi Xue'e was riding and walked out of the city.
The two of them went out of the city, and walked for several hours before they found a town to live in.
Xiang Ye had a lot of questions in his heart, although the guys in the pavilion showed some power in Suiyang City, he didn't find anything wrong with it, and he didn't know when Chi Xue'e unknowingly stuffed fifty copper coins into his arms.
Although these questions entangled him, he finally entered his dream after staying up for nearly a day and a night without sleeping.
More than 20 days later, two people dressed in pure white clothes appeared outside Xingyang City, riding two strong horses under their crotches, and walked slowly towards the city gate.
These two people appeared at the gate of the city, and the Qin army guarding the city just glanced at them and let them into the city without the slightest questioning.
These two people are none other than Xiang Ye and Chi Xue'e, on the way, Chi Xue'e thought that the donkeys and mules were walking too slowly, so she added some money and exchanged them for two horses, and bought new clothes to change the bloody clothes on her body, and then rushed to Xingyang.
After entering the city, Chi Xue'e didn't ask anyone for directions, and rode straight to the west of the city.
On the way here, Xiang Ye heard from Chi Xue'e about how prosperous Xingyang is, but after entering the city, he found that there were very few people in the city, and occasionally a few people walking in the market were listless, as if they were seriously ill.
This time he did not ask Chi Xue'e for the reason, he had seen a record of Xingyang at the end of the Qin Dynasty in the history books.
After Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled in Daze Township, the righteous army marched westward all the way, and they were invincible everywhere they passed, but in the end, their hundreds of thousands of troops were caught in the battle of attacking Xingyang and could not extricate themselves, and were finally annihilated by the Qin army that had breathless.
In the Battle of Xingyang, Li You, the commander of Sanchuan County, played a majestic role, and his name was forever engraved in history, and was admired by generations of descendants.
Chi Xue'e wanted to take Xiang Ye to meet Li You, who commanded the Battle of Xingyang, and on the way to the county guard's mansion, Xiang Ye had been imagining what Li You should be like.
According to historical records, Li You was the eldest son of Qin Prime Minister Li Si, and he should have been a Wenchen, but in the Battle of Xingyang, he led the Qin army defending the city and the people in the city to resist the Zhang Chu army several times their size, completely showing his bravery and unyielding integrity, which a simple Wenchen could not do at all.
"Eldest sister, can you tell me what kind of person Li You is? What does he look like? Is it bad tempered or not? Xiang Ye rode up to Chi Xue'e and turned her head to look at her and asked.
In the days when the two of them got along, Xiang Ye and Chi Xue'e became closer and closer, and I don't know when he started to call Chi Xue'e eldest sister; And Chi Xue'e seems to have forgotten the promise she made to him as soon as she repays him with her body, and takes care of Xiang Ye like a big sister.
In terms of age, Chi Xue'e is more than 2,000 years older than Xiang Ye, and in terms of the years she has lived in the world, she has been one year longer than him, and she has much more experience in walking in the world than him, Xiang Ye has naturally become her little brother and follower.
