Tang Li's circle around the "heroes" who participated in the suppression of bandits in this courtyard, most of them were yellow and thin, only a few showed their willfulness, and they sat alone in a corner, so they also took Zhang Qixiu to find a place to sit down at random.

Zhang Qixiu was quick-eyed, and took the lead in running over and brushing the dust of the stone bench here with his sleeve, before beckoning Tang Lixi to sit down with a smile, Tang Li's face said thank you, and said with a smile after sitting down: "Little Brother Zhang doesn't need to be so polite, you and I are not masters and servants, but you don't need to spend all this effort." ”

Zhang Qixiu smiled shyly, "I can do it casually, it's okay, it doesn't take much effort on my part." ”

"Brother Li, how many times have you participated in these bandit suppression activities?" Zhang Qixiu, who sat down, said curiously, "I don't know if you can make so much money as the government said in its propaganda." ”

Tang Li touched his chest and felt the healing of his wounds, feeling that he was almost better, and he was still a little surprised. After Zhang Qixiu asked, he replied with a slight smile: "This money, it is estimated that it is not so easy to earn, and it is the first time for me to participate in these actions, it seems that I can only ask later to see if there are any people who make a living from this." ”

"yes, just ask someone and maybe we'll know what we want to know. Zhang Qixiu clapped his hands, stood up, smiled at Tang Li, and said, "Brother Li, wait for me, I'll go back." ”

Immediately ran to communicate with the people nearby, Tang Lixiu listened from a distance, Zhang Qixiu communicated with the middle-aged men who were also yellow-faced and thin, using the local hometown dialect, he found that his body actually couldn't understand these words, but from Zhang Qixiu's eyes, Tang Lixiu still guessed that what he got was some not very good or useless news.

Sure enough, Zhang Qixiu, who came over, said with some frustration: "Alas, Brother Li, I'm really useless, I asked several people nearby, all of them participated in this bandit suppression activity for the first time, and I didn't know how the specific remuneration was, and those few strong men who looked at the living and didn't get close." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Qixiu lowered his head a little embarrassed and whispered, "I don't dare to ask those people." ”

Tang Li raised his head and looked at Zhang Qixiu, "It's okay, it's just that we're going to leave in the next two days, and we'll naturally know about it then, a trivial matter." ”

Zhang Qixiu raised his mouth and said in surprise: "Brother Li, how do you know that we can set off in these two days?"

Tang Li explained: "Because when we signed up, I paid attention to the soldier's information book, which was almost full, and among the people who sat behind and drank tea with the county commander, there was a military general, with a murderous awe-inspiring awe, and at first glance he was a general who had been in the war for a long time, and he was expected to be the military attache who led the team this time." ”

Listening to Tang Li's analysis, Zhang Qixiu admired Tang Li, nodded again and again, and chatted with Tang Li, and after a while, a housekeeper led his subordinates to bring food to the manor, and saluted the strong men scattered around the manor, and said: "Heroes, tomorrow we will go with Qiu Youwei to suppress the bandits, these meals are a little bit of our master's heart, not respect." ”

"Because we will go to suppress the bandits tomorrow, in order to avoid delaying the military situation, we will wait for you to return from a great victory, and then come here, and our lord will personally pick up the wind and wash the dust for everyone. ”

Then the butler pointed to the food on the wooden board and said with a smile: "You strong men can eat, if it is not enough, I will let the next person go to the kitchen to cook some." ”

Hearing what the butler said, the people sitting in the manor applauded, especially a few of the yellow-faced and thin-faced men, who had already run over and hurriedly served a large bowl of rice, and then sandwiched a few chopsticks and vegetables, and feasted on them.

Seeing that someone was the first to go up to serve the meal, of course, the people on the side were not to be outdone, in case the meat was robbed by others, it would be only possible to drink soup, so they all hurried over, and the butler smiled and nodded with everyone on the side.

Zhang Qixiu also stood up, he was very happy to be able to eat a full meal, and when he saw that Tang Lixi was about to get up, he hurriedly waved his hand to stop: "Brother Li, Brother Li, you don't have to go over to grab food with them, I still have some strength for eating, you just wait for my good news." ”

After saying that, he rushed over, and before Tang Li's words could be said to refuse politely, Zhang Qixiu was far away, so Tang Lixiu could only put down his hand and smiled slightly, since this is the case, then when the time comes, take more care of this shy young man.

Zhang Qixiu really didn't brag about it, he really brought him two big bowls of rice, and there were a lot of green vegetables on top of the rice, and a big spoonful of soup was drizzled, which was quite tempting to look at.

Zhang Qixiu grinned, his face was full of joy, and he handed one of the bulging bowls of rice to Tang Li, who shook it with a smile, pointed to another bowl of rice, and said, "My appetite has not been very good recently, and I am used to being a vegetarian." ”

Zhang Qixiu's eyes widened, as if Tang Li's discovery of some big secret, and after muttering a few times, he handed the bowl of rice leaning towards him to Tang Li, and said, "When did Brother Li find out?"

After that, the chopsticks picked and turned out a chicken leg from under the bowl of bulging rice he originally wanted to hand to Tang Li, it turned out that the young man wanted to invite this eldest brother who was willing to help him today to eat a chicken leg, but Tang Li's refusal.

Tang Lifu took this bowl of rice that was just a vegetarian dish, bitter gourd, green beans, tofu, etc., but Zhang Qixiu's soup was also the broth, so it still tasted different, and after two bites of rice, Tang Lixi said with a smile: "My little eyesight is better than ordinary people, so I still saw the scene when you grabbed the last chicken leg, but recently I really just want to eat vegetarian seasoning, but thank you very much." ”

Zhang Qixiu smiled, squatted down, picked up a thin piece of bitter gourd and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed a few times and curled his face, and hurriedly took a big mouthful of white rice before he smiled and spoke, "The bitter gourd of our Wushui products is really bitter, Qiyun likes to eat this taste since he was a child, I still feel very bitter after tasting it for a long time, and I am not used to eating it." ”

Immediately, the shy young man smiled, "Qiyun is my sister, Zhang Qiyun." ”

Tang Li nodded, "Yunxiu is completely clean and healthy for a long time." Good name, it seems that your parents still hoped that you both had a good life. ”

Zhang Qixiu listened to Tang Li's statement, and the corners of his mouth smiled so much that a few grains of white rice fell out, "Yes, this is the first time I've heard this statement, but our names are indeed given by my father and mother at the request of Mr. Na Xuejuku." ”

Zhang Qixiu, who picked up the chicken leg and took a bite, was full of anticipation, and muttered: "It's going to be okay, now that we're all alive, everything will be fine." ”

Tang Lixi smiled heartily and lowered his head to eat seriously.

After everyone was full, the housekeeper ordered someone to take some bamboo mats to the courtyard, it turned out that there were not too many guest rooms in the house to entertain so many people, so they could only invite the people who participated in the suppression of bandits to spend one night in the courtyard, the temperature was not very cold at this time, and it was no big deal to rest in the courtyard for a while, and Tang Li looked at the people who participated in the suppression of bandits, most of them were ordinary people who were powerless and had yellow and thin faces, and they did not dare to have any objections to the arrangement of the county government.

As expected, most people took the bamboo mat, found a comfortable place, and lay down to rest, Tang Li's heart was full of slander, such a group of people, can really go to suppress bandits?

Zhang Qixiu ran to get two mats again, Tang Li stretched out his hand to ask and beckoned a maid to come over, and asked if he could rest anywhere in this manor, and after getting a positive answer, he took Zhang Qixiu to the big tree in the manor, pointed to a flat and empty place under the tree, and said: "There are many stars tonight, it should be rainless, you can rest here for one night." ”

Zhang Qixiu nodded obediently, and just wanted to ask where Tang Lixi planned to rest, he saw Tang Li's arrow step jumped onto the treetops, standing steadily above, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Brother Li, do you know how to do kung fu?"

Tang Li smiled, did not reply to Zhang Qixiu's question, but looked back at the next majestic man with a meaty face who was about to come over and drive them out of here, but after seeing Tang Li staring at him with a smile, he stopped hesitantly.

These strong men with cold and fierce faces mixed in the manor have not eaten since just now, not like the people who signed up to suppress the bandits, but like the people who monitor the people in the manor.

Anyway, if you really start a fight, as long as you are not seriously injured because of the crotch pull of the weapon like last time, then there should be no problem in escaping, after all, this is not a war between countries, like yourself or Yao Taohua, the existence of physical comprehension beyond ordinary people, in these small-scale battles, it must be no problem to take one enemy and a hundred enemies.

Leaning on the trunk of the tree, Tang Li, who had raised Erlang's legs, found a grass root out of nowhere, put it in his mouth and chewed it, glanced at Zhang Qixiu, who was lying on the mat, and said, "Hey, try to follow me tomorrow." ”

"Ah, yes!" Zhang Qixiu under the tree replied loudly, full of surprise.

Guangqingyuan's matter is actually difficult for Tang Li, so Zhang Qixiu, I hope there will be no regrets.

For some reason, Tang Li always felt weird, and he didn't think about which step went wrong, so he could only let Zhang Qixiu follow him closely, otherwise, this little brother who looked a little like himself back then, if something happened, he would still be a little sad.

Even if you know these people, they are just paper people with no soul and no real life.

Tang Li often thinks about what a real "person" is, he doesn't know, at least at the moment, he doesn't know.
