The master and apprentice kept going all the way to Xi'an in the northeast. Seeing the sun overhead, it was almost noon. Ding Xi slept for a while on the horse. Woke up a little hungry. So he asked Master where he was eating at noon. Zhao Jia also felt a little hungry in his stomach. Let's just go ahead and take a look, I guess there will be a town soon.

When Ding Xi heard that he was going to the town, his saliva flowed, and he flattered Zhao Jiayi and said, "Master likes to eat flower chicken the most." How about we eat chicken at noon. ”

Zhao Jiayi didn't know this child's wishful thinking. I wanted to tease him and said, "The chicken is so cute, let's eat noodles." ”

After all, Ding Xi is a child's heart, and when he heard that he wanted to eat noodles, his small mouth also pouted. "Chicks are cute when they are young, and they won't be cute when they grow up." Eating, drinking, and sleeping are not clean. ”

Zhao Jia saw that he was really greedy, so he agreed, thinking about the coiling that he went to Zhao's mansion to get last night, he said to Ding Xi: "Then you can thank Zhao Yuanwai, it was he who funded our master and apprentice's entanglement yesterday." ”

Ding Xi often heard what the master said about Zhao Yuanwai and Li Landlord, as well as Zhang County's order to fund them, so he said with admiration, Master is really a friend all over the world, and he has friends wherever he goes. Then he asked curiously, "Master went to see his friends by himself, why didn't he take me with him?" Let me thank them in person. ”

When Zhao Jia heard his innocent words, he also felt funny in his heart, so he said: "These are what they should do, go to the soup for their friends, money is something outside the body, why worry about it." When you grow up, you have to be a heroic and frank gentleman. ”

Ding washes the child's heart, and he doesn't know what a gentleman is, so he will do whatever the master tells him to do. Nodding his head, "Got it." ”

The master and apprentice were walking, and saw two figures in the woods in front of them flashing behind the trees, Ding Xi didn't see it, and Zhao Jia was on guard in his heart. Seeing that there was still a distance of about 100 meters, he shouted, dismounted, hugged Ding and washed down. He said, "You lead the horse and follow behind." I'll go to the front woods and have a look. ”

Zhao Jiayi walked quickly to the woods in front of him and saw a mother and daughter resting in the forest. Seeing him coming, the daughter hurriedly turned her face, and the mother said uneasily: "I'm in a hurry to disturb my son, I don't know what to say." ”

Zhao Jia looked at his mother and daughter, disgraced, as if he had encountered something urgent, the emperor did not act in these years, invented what wooden tools all day long, and the eunuch was in charge. The upper beam is not right, and the lower officials are greedy and evil. In addition, Shaanxi has been suffering from drought for many years. The people have no means of making a living. Along the way, I don't know how many displaced people I have met. In this world, it is not easy for a mother and daughter to live. He asked, "Don't be afraid, Auntie, I'm going to Xi'an to visit relatives." I just saw you snooping on me, and I thought it was a gangster. Just come and have a look. ”

The mother-in-law listened to him speak elegantly, and her eyes just swept over her daughter, and there was no evil light in her eyes. With a sour heart, he said: "We went to Xi'an to find my son, and we are from Xixiang." The scoundrels of this town are going to marry my daughter. We were forced to run away. In fact, there are no valuable belongings at home. ”

As soon as Zhao Jia heard about it, he was not surprised, and he was chivalrous, so he said: "I'm also going to Xi'an, why don't we go together." ”

When the mother-in-law heard this, she hesitated and said, "This turmoil, plus the little girl, is so inconvenient." When her daughter heard this, she also said, "Thank you for your kindness." We're going to have to dodge the splash. I really don't want to trouble Childe. ”

Zhao Jiayi also secretly regretted when he heard about it. But thinking about it, taking this mother and daughter with him really affected the journey, so he took out some scattered silver and copper coins from his bosom and said: "This is a long way to go, you might as well hire a foot force, a little silver taels, not a respect." ”

People are poor and short-sighted, and the mother and daughter are also ready to beg all the way. Seeing the sincerity he said, he was not polite, so he said: "Great kindness, report it in the next life, Li Zhang's thank you." My daughter's name is Li Ping. ”

Zhao Jiayi was not verbose, and rushed to the town in front with Ding Xi on the avenue, preparing to buy some dry food and clothes in the town. Find a bathhouse and have a good rest.

Soon I came to a small town. At the end of the east and west streets, there are all kinds of restaurants and clothing stores on both sides of the street, and it is noon, and there are not many people on the street. I found a restaurant at the corner of the street, and the business was not bad.

When the shopkeeper saw the two of them entering the store, he hurriedly beckoned them in while leading the horses. I ordered 2 meat and 2 vegetarian dishes, and of course there was chicken. I asked for a bowl of noodles. Eat and drink to your heart's content. Went out and bought some dry food in town. Get ready and keep going.

On the road, the master and apprentice talked and laughed, but it was not boring. Who knew that this way, seeing that it was getting dark, had not yet reached the next town. Looking at the sky, Ding Xi said, "Master, I feel like I'm going to sleep outside today." ”

Zhao Jiayi didn't care, there was plenty of dry food or something. The horse finds some forage nearby, deals with it, and the night is over. He said, "You haven't gotten used to it yet." Don't we do this often? ”

Ding Xi said what he wanted, and said, "It's cold outside." I'm scared too. ”

Zhao Jiayi said lovingly, let's go for a walk and try to find a place to live. It's really not safe out there these days. Although he knows martial arts, who wants to fight and kill others all day long. If you often walk by the river, you will inevitably miss. There are still a lot of masters.

Zhao Jia saw that it was about to get dark, so he walked by himself and let Ding Xi ride on the horse. In the distance, I saw a few families on the hill in front of me. But it's dark. Zhao Jia pointed with one hand and said to Ding Xi, look, isn't there someone in front.

Ding Xi has followed him for a few years, don't look at the small people, but also experience some experience, and said: "It's so late, the black lights are blind, and it is estimated that it is a village where no one is around." ”

Zhao Jiayi was quite satisfied with his answer, so he said: "Eighty percent is, don't sleep in the wilderness." At least there's a top. ”

The two walked for half an hour, and then they came to take a look. Several houses were broken and collapsed. It's really a roof left. Found a leeward place, and the two of them went into the house to clean up a little. It's been a day. Zhao Jiayi felt fine, but Ding Xi felt quite tired. Eat some dry food indiscriminately. Zhao Jia asked Ding to practice martial arts at the beginning. Although the conditions were difficult, Zhao Jiayi supervised Ding Xi's homework every day.

Watching Ding Xi punch and be vigorous, it was really like that at a young age. I was comforted. The end of martial arts training is an endorsement. The Book of Poetry, the Analects. Let's take a look at that. At night, the two did not dare to make a fire.

Wait for the homework to be done. Zhao Jiayi asked him to stay in the house and not move, go out for a walk by himself, and familiarize himself with the environment. It's a good habit I've developed over the years.

This place is backed by a small dirt slope and is not far from the main road. A few acres of abandoned farmland not far away. It is estimated that the people in the village have left home to earn a living after experiencing everything. The government, landlords, and bandits made a living in poverty. Such villages are not uncommon. The landless peasants went to the county to beg for a living.

Walking up the high slope into the distance, I vaguely saw lights about ten miles to the northeast. It looks like it's not far from town. On the way to and fro, I vaguely saw two black shadows slowly walking towards this side. It is estimated that it is also the person who missed the road. After looking at it for a while, I found that there seemed to be three figures behind the two black shadows. At first I thought it was a gang. Look at the three unhurried ones in the back. I guess it's not like that.

Zhao Jia saw it, how could he not understand. It's hard to be a good citizen these days. Looking at the three people in the back, it is estimated that they will wait for the right place to do it. Since it is in his own hands, how can he let them do whatever he wants? I have a mind in my heart. He returned to his place and let Ding Xi lead the horse and hide behind the slope. He was nearby and watching. Forget it if it's okay. What a bad word. I'm going to make a move.

found a room to hide, only to see the two people in front of them hurriedly come over, and said while walking the watch: "Girl, you see where there is a good place to hide nearby, hurry up and hide." I'm desperate to let you go. The last three followed all the way, not like the good guys. ”

Zhao Jia was very familiar when he heard it, and when the two got closer, they found that it was Li's mother and daughter. The mother and daughter have come out to travel long distances in this world, which is really dangerous. The good guys and the bad guys are now the same thing.

Li Ping also felt that the three people behind him had bad intentions, and he didn't meet anyone along the way, and there was no village. Seeing that there are a few families here, I thought it was a village, but who knew that there were no people, it seems that there is less luck today. I am a yellow flower girl. As a last resort, I can only save my reputation by dying.

As they spoke, the three of them had already arrived quickly. Seeing this, Mother Li hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The three of you are strong, I will give you all the money on my body." Spare us all your lives. Good people are rewarded.

One of them came out and said, "Don't be afraid, old man. We're just robbing for money. I will not harm your lives. ”

After saying that, the three of them burst out laughing. The other continued: "Big brother is right, old man, we only need your daughter to accompany me for one night, and I will send you away tomorrow morning." ”

Zhao Jiayi scolded in his heart when he saw this, a shameless man. I'm glad to have met me today. Otherwise, wouldn't you have done all the bad things? I'm getting ready to go out. I heard Li Ping say: "Aren't you afraid of killing your head as a robber? ”

It's too late, it's too soon. Zhao Jiayi hurriedly came out of the house and stopped in front of her. He said to the three gangsters: "You haven't succeeded yet, so hurry up." My son doesn't care about you. If he lets me meet him again one day. You must wait for the dog's life. ”

The five of them were all startled when they saw a person suddenly come out, hearing that he was going to be nosy. It's all a little settled. Seeing that he was alone, the murderous thoughts arose again. The leader wants to defeat him first.

Looking left and right, the three of them often cooperate. Immediately understood. Three against one, looking at the winning ticket. Get started. Zhao Jiayi naturally knew that this was definitely not something that could be solved with a word. Be on guard. Look at their footsteps and move less. immediately protected the Li mother and daughter behind him.

Kicking and punching, after a while, all three of them fell to the ground. Dealing with the three scoundrels is naturally not a problem. He assassinated Wei Zhongxian. To be able to escape twice under the hands of Dongchang is not idle.

Zhao Jiayi defeated the three scoundrels, and he was not proud. After all, ordinary people. Look at the three of them falling to the ground, moaning and wailing. Zhao Jiayi said: "I advise the three of them to be kind in the future and not to be evil." As he spoke, he searched three people. Take out everything that is valuable.

Let Li's mother and daughter take it away and go to Houpo to find Ding Xi. Watch her mother and daughter walk down the slope. Zhao Jiayi stripped the three of them of their clothes. The three of them said goodbye. Zhao Jia smiled and said, "Let you know what courtesy, righteousness and shame are." I don't want to kill today. Get out of here. ”

After Zhao Jiayi joined the three of them on the back slope, he decided to go to the town. After all, this place is probably not safe anymore. I have to guard against it. Li's mother and daughter are naturally grateful. The four of them set out all the way to the town.
