Breakfast is still porridge, Ye Zhen knows that Yuan Xiu's body is still very weak and needs to be adjusted slowly, it is best to drink porridge, but he also put some other things in the porridge, which is a little more hearty than last night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The porridge should be boiled slowly, so that it can be cooked, and after more than half an hour, the porridge is fragrant, not to mention this small wooden house, even the yard can smell this strong aroma.

Yuan Xiu, who was sleeping in the bedroom, didn't know if he woke up or was woken up by the porridge incense, but he woke up anyway.

When he walked out of the bedroom, his stomach suddenly "gurgled" and screamed, which made Yuanxiu very embarrassed, and his face suddenly flushed, of course Ye Zhen could hear it, but he just pretended, and when he saw Yuanxiu coming out, he only asked, "Are you sleeping well?"

Yuan Xiu hurriedly said, "No, I slept well, Brother Ye, good morning." ”

Ye Zhen smiled and said, "Good morning." There's water and towels over there, you wash up first, and then we'll eat. ”

Yuan Xiu agreed, so he went to wash first, and when he came back after washing his face, Ye Zhen's eyes changed a little when he saw him, and he looked very surprised.

Yuan Xiu was a little weak when Ye Zhen saw it, and said uneasily, "Brother Ye, what's wrong?"

Ye Zhen looked at Yuan Xiu's white, almost flawless, almost perfect face, and exclaimed, "Little Brother Yuan, you really look ...... Enough...... Handsome. "Xindao" No wonder Niu Er has that kind of thought, Yuan Xiaodi is so beautiful, even girls are rarely so beautiful. ”

Of course, Yuan Xiu knew his appearance, and when he was praised by Ye Zhen so directly, he was ashamed and funny, and his face was full of redness, which was really shy and moving.

Seeing this, Ye Zhen's heart shook slightly, and he said secretly, "Brother Yuan is handsome, but he is not a little manly, he really looks like a girl." Thinking of this, Ye Zhen suddenly woke up, almost gave himself a mouthful, and said secretly, "I'm really stupid, I can't see it, Yuan Xiaodi is just afraid that he is a girl, otherwise how can there be such a beautiful man in the world, Ye Zhen, Ye Zhen, you have been through the rivers and lakes, and you can't even see a woman dressed as a man, you are really a fool, Yuan Xiu is obviously Yuan Xiaomei!"

Yuan Xiaodi suddenly became Yuan Xiaomei, Ye Zhen was really a little uncomfortable, fortunately, Yuan Xiu was still a man, and he didn't admit it, Ye Zhen could still deal with it, and Yuan Xiu thought that Ye Zhen didn't find out his identity, so he actually complained, "Brother Ye, I'm a boy, and my appearance as a man doesn't matter." Besides, I think Brother Ye is also very handsome, with sharp eyebrows, clear outlines, and a lot of manliness, much stronger than me. ”

Although Ye Zhen is a pure master, it is also the first time that he has been praised by a girl so face-to-face, it feels very complicated, he is happy and ashamed, and his slightly dark face is also red, Yuan Xiu saw it, and couldn't help but secretly laugh "Brother Ye also blushed, hum, call you me, I call it a tooth for a tooth!" The girl is stingy and has a strong sense of revenge, Ye Zhen was rectified by Yuan Xiaomei for some reason.

Ye Zhen blushed, and hurriedly said, "Let's not talk about this yet, let's eat quickly." With that, he gave Yuan Xiu a meal.

Yuan Xiu sat at the table with a smile, looking at Ye Zhen, who was quite embarrassed, and felt that it was a good word, but when he saw the rice brought by Ye Zhen, he couldn't help frowning and shouted, "I want to drink porridge again!" As soon as the words came out, Yuan Xiu knew that he was wrong, think about people cooking for you, you still dislike the rice is not good, what is this, isn't it ungrateful!

Ye Zhen didn't care, and said, "It's really not good to drink porridge all the time, but your body is still very weak, it's better to drink porridge, when your body is better, I'm making something delicious for you, come, you taste this bowl of porridge first, and see what the difference is from last night." ”

Yuan Xiu was greatly moved, her eyes were a little red, and she took a sip of the bowl.

As soon as the porridge was entered, Yuan Xiu was stunned, the taste was really different from last night, and then another mouthful, the taste was really good, and then he was mouthful after mouthful, a moment of effort, a bowl of porridge was all down, after putting down the bowl, Yuan Xiu couldn't help but exclaim, "This bowl of porridge is so delicious!"

Yuan Xiu ate well, Ye Zhen was naturally happy, and said with a smile, "Eat more if it's delicious, come, I'll serve you a bowl." ”

Yuan Xiu said with some surprise, "Can I eat more today?" He was still thinking about last night.

Ye Zhen smiled, "Of course, last night I was afraid that you would eat too much at once, and your stomach would not be able to stand it, but today I don't have this concern." ”

Yuanxiu was overjoyed and said, "I can finally eat a full meal, Brother Ye, hurry up and serve me rice!" Seeing that he was so impatient, Ye Zhen dared to delay, and hurriedly served a bowl of porridge to Yuanxiu, Yuanxiu was really hungry, and drank two more bowls in one go. When he asked for the fourth bowl, Ye Zhen was really afraid that he would break it, so he said, "Little Brother Yuan, take your time, don't be too anxious, the porridge is there, we can rest." ”

Yuan Xiu also realized that he was a bit like a starving ghost reincarnated, and said with a red face, "Brother Ye, the porridge you made is really delicious." By the way, the taste is not quite the same as last night's. ”

Ye Zhen smiled, "I added some lean meat to the porridge, and the taste is naturally different from the clear porridge." ”

Yuan Xiuqi said: "Lean meat, why didn't I see it." ”

Ye Zhen smiled, "The lean meat was cut very finely by me, and it was boiled for a long time, and it was all melted into the porridge, so you naturally can't see it." ”

Yuan Xiu praised, "Brother Ye, your cooking skills are really good." ”

Ye Zhen said with a smile, "It's just a pot of porridge, and I can't talk about any craftsmanship." "It only took one night for them to go from strange to familiar, maybe Ye Zhen was sincere enough, Yuan Xiu was not wary of him, and when the two of them talked, they looked like old friends, very casual.

After breakfast, Yuan Xiu asked Ye Zhen why that Lao Huang hadn't appeared yet, Ye Zhen wasn't worried that Lao Huang would have any problems, so he said that this guy would appear when he should appear.

When Yuan Xiu heard Ye Zhen say this, he knew that this Lao Huang was really not a fuel-efficient lamp, not only did he often not return home at night, but his behavior was also very strange, which also made Yuan Xiu have a strong curiosity about Lao Huang, and he was actually looking forward to Lao Huang's appearance.

After breakfast, Ye Zhen asked Yuanxiu to take a rest again and take care of his spirits, Yuanxiu felt that he was in good spirits, and he was exempted from resting.

Ye Zhen looked at Yuanxiu's face, it was indeed much better, ruddy and shiny, and more and more delicate and moving, at this moment, he looked at Yuanxiu more and more like a girl, and it was also that kind of beauty embryo, at a young age...... It's very much, if you grow up, wouldn't it be ...... That's more.

Just when Ye Zhen wanted to get into trouble, Yuan Xiu suddenly asked him, "Brother Ye, how old are you?"

Ye Zhen was thoughtful, and said casually, "Fifteen years old." Then he asked, "What about you?"

Yuan Xiu was stunned when he heard this, he thought that Ye Zhen was seventeen or eighteen years old, how did he know that it was fifteen, hearing Ye Zhen ask himself, Yuan Xiu's eyes rolled, and said with a smile, "I said that I am also fifteen years old, do you believe it?"

Of course Ye Zhen didn't believe it, looking at Yuan Xiu's appearance, he was only twelve or thirteen, that is, he was ten years old Ye Zhen also believed it, and this fifteen-year-old Ye Zhen would not take it seriously, so he smiled and said, "If you are fifteen, I will be fifty." Brother Yuan, you're really joking!"

Yuan Xiu saw that he didn't believe it, so he didn't say anything more, and said in his heart, "Idiot, I am tall and big, so I think others are the same as him, and besides, I am still ......" Yuan Xiu thought in his heart, and said in his mouth, "If you don't believe it, forget it." I'm fifteen anyway. ”

Ye Zhen thought he was joking, how could he take it seriously, and said in his heart, "It's really a child's temper, well, I heard that girls have a very strange temperament, and now I see that it's really like this!"

The problem of age is so over, Ye Zhen is only ten years old when Yuan Xiu is ten years old, he is younger than him anyway, and Yuan Xiu is too lazy to explain to the nerd, and the title of "Brother Ye", he will not be so smooth and natural in the future.

Ye Zhen and Yuan Xiu are not at first sight, but they are young people so they get along well, the two chatted and talked, and before they knew it, the barrier between them disappeared, and they had a certain understanding and understanding of each other.

Yuanxiu told Ye Zhen that he was from Zhongzhou, that is, Yanzhou, which was the place where the imperial capital was located, and it was also the most prosperous place in the Great Zhou Dynasty, of course, Zhongzhou was also the largest area in Kyushu, because it was located in the center of the Great Zhou territory, so everyone liked to call it Zhongzhou.

Ye Zhen was slightly surprised when he heard Yuanxiu claim to be from Zhongzhou, Zhongzhou and Yongzhou are far apart, if you really have to walk for a long time, and the distance is secondary, the most important thing is that you have to cross several mountains from Zhongzhou to Yongzhou, the mountain roads are difficult and dangerous, and there are all kinds of wild beasts, how can a child in Yuanxiu go all the way here?

Ye was really unbelievable, Yuan Xiu saw his doubts, and explained that he was originally accompanied by a family member, and this family took care of him all the way, so he could be regarded as a safe journey, but there were unforeseen circumstances, they had just arrived in Yongzhou, and the family member got sick and died within a few days, Yuan Xiu had no support, so he could only go on the road alone, and finally became like this.

Ye Zhen heard that Yuanxiu had a family member before, and knew that Yuanxiu's family background was not bad, but why did he come to Yongzhou thousands of miles away, how could his parents be so relieved.

When it comes to his parents, Yuanxiu's eyes suddenly turned red, it turned out that their family was really good before, and the family was very good, but two years ago, his family suddenly suffered a catastrophe, Yuanxiu's parents both passed away, leaving Yuanxiu alone, how can he take care of himself as a child, fortunately, the family is loyal and simple, and has received the great grace of the Yuan family, so he will take Yuanxiu to take care of him, because Yuanxiu has a cousin in Yongzhou, and the family took Yuanxiu to go to the place, but before he reached the destination, the family died of illness, leaving Yuanxiu alone in the world, if he didn't meet Ye Zhen, Yuanxiu was really worried。

After Ye Zhen heard what Yuan Xiu said, he sighed for a long time, and said in his heart, "His life is really bitter, his parents died at a young age, and he wandered outside, it's really pitiful." ”

Yuan Xiu talked about his parents' family history, his expression was sad, tears flashed faintly in his eyes, his hands were tightly grasping the corner of the table, he was trying his best to control his emotions and not let himself cry, and he looked like this, which made people even more sympathetic, Ye Zhen gently patted Yuan Xiu's shoulder and comforted, "Little Brother Yuan, it should be sad for the family to pass away, but those of us who are alive still have to live, you have to be strong, so that your parents' spirits in the sky can be comforted." ”

Yuan Xiu nodded heavily and said, "I understand Brother Ye, I will live well and not let my parents down and worry about me." ”

Ye Zhen smiled with relief, he knew that Yuan Xiu had already gone through the most painful and sad stage, understood a lot of things, and was far more mature than his peers, and he had this kind of experience, so he and Yuan Xiu could be regarded as sympathetic to each other, and they were really the same fallen people!

Ye Zhen didn't want to touch Yuanxiu's sadness anymore, so he asked, "Where is that cousin of yours?"

Yuan Xiu said, "In Qincheng." ”

Ye Zhen frowned slightly when he heard this, Qincheng was the capital of Qin back then, and it was still more than a thousand miles away from Tongguan, but he was quite familiar with Qincheng Ye Zhen, because his hometown was there.

Seeing that Ye Zhen frowned and was silent, Yuan Xiu was a little strange, so he said, "Brother Ye, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Zhen hurriedly said, "It's nothing, I'm just wondering, how can your cousin and your family be so far apart." ”

Yuan Xiu said, "Brother Ye doesn't know, our Yuan family was originally from Qincheng, and my father is because of ...... I went to Zhongzhou for other reasons. ”

Ye Zhen didn't notice anything wrong with Yuan Xiu's words, so he said, "That's the case! ”

Yuan Xiuxi said, "It turns out that you are also from Qincheng, no wonder I feel kind when I see you, this is the reason for my fellow countrymen." This is really a bit childish, Ye Zhen was secretly funny when he heard it, and Yuan Xiu suddenly said about Qin Cheng, which immediately reminded him of some past events, his heart suddenly felt sour, and his eyes also revealed a little bitterness, Qin Cheng, hometown, it sounds very kind, but the distance is so far away.

Yuan Xiu was a very clever and intelligent child, and when he saw Ye Zhen's expression, he thought about how he got to Tongguan since he was from Qincheng, and he was still alone, what about his family? Could it be ......? Yuan Xiu thought a lot at once, and after a little hesitation, he said, "Brother Ye, how did you get here?"

Ye Zhen pondered for a moment before telling Yuan Xiu his story.

Ye Zhen's hometown is called Yejiazhuang, which is a small village near Qincheng, there are only more than 100 households in the village, because most of the people in the village are surnamed Ye, so it is called Yejiazhuang.

Ye Zhen's parents are both farmers and make a living by farming, because the world is good, their lives are okay, and they are naturally happy.

It's just that the world is unpredictable, fate is impermanent, just when Ye Zhen was six years old, a plague befell Yejiazhuang, almost overnight, more than 100 families up and down Yejiazhuang, hundreds of people were killed by the plague, everyone, except for Ye Zhen, who was only seven years old, everyone else died, and Ye Zhen's parents died next to Ye Zhen.

How could the young Ye Zhen have thought that his father, who was still telling stories for himself last night, suddenly died, even now, after a few years, Ye Zhen can still remember the events of that day clearly.

Ye Zhen woke up very early that day, much earlier than before, children love to sleep, Ye Zhen is no exception, but that day was very strange, he woke up early.

Ye Zhen, who was lying on the bed, shouted a few times to his mother, but no one answered, and called his father a few times, which was still the same, which made Ye Zhen a little strange.

He slept in the inner room, and he was supposed to sleep with his father, but a few days ago, his father and mother discussed with him and asked him if he wanted a younger brother or sister, of course Ye Zhen thought about it, he was very envious of the neighbor's puppy, because the puppy had a cute sister.

Ye Zhen also wanted a cute sister, but his father said that if he wanted a sister, he would have to sleep by himself, at first Ye Zhen was unwilling, but thinking about that lovely sister, he could only sleep alone.

That morning, Xiao Yezhen didn't hear his father's voice, so he was very strange, so he got dressed and got out of bed and came to his father's bedroom.

He saw that his father and mother were both in bed and sleeping soundly, but his snoring father did not make much movement, and the bedroom was very quiet, very quiet.

Xiao Ye Zhen was very sensible, knowing that his father and mother were very tired, he didn't wake them up, and he was playing in the yard, but after playing for a while, Ye Zhen had a strange feeling, because it was too quiet both at home and outside today. In the past, there were people walking around outside, and there was a lot of noise, but today it seems that everyone is still sleeping, sleeping so deeply, so quietly.

The strange atmosphere around made the seven-year-old child feel bad, and he hurriedly ran into the house and called out to his father and mother, hoping that his father and mother would wake up quickly, but no matter how loud he shouted, his father and mother still lay quietly on the bed, motionless and silent.

Xiao Ye was really scared, he had never seen such a situation, he didn't know what to do, he could only keep screaming and crying by the bedside, and his father and mother who loved him didn't hear his crying at all, fell asleep quietly, and never woke up again.

Ye Zhen was very calm when he talked about the past, as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with him, but his bright eyes were already dull and gloomy, just imagine that he could remember everything so clearly, understand, the impression is really beyond imagination, it is hard to believe that a seven-year-old child will have such a deep memory, it is really unforgettable, the memory is still fresh, and it is indelible.

Yuan Xiu listened quietly, he never imagined that Ye Zhen would have such a tragic experience, the death of his parents was so weird, thinking of a seven-year-old child guarding the corpse of his parents crying, shouting, helpless and helpless, Yuan Xiu was already cold, Ye Zhen did not cry, but he was already in tears like rain, wet his clothes a lot, he was sad for Ye Zhen, and at the same time thinking of his similar fate to Ye Zhen, the tears kept flowing and it was difficult to collect.
