I made up stupid exercises in Da Qin, and Ying Zheng succeeded in practicing them?

Chapter 21 021 Cut off your fingers to save your mother, a favor from a meal!
Chengchuan Village.

Ji Chen found a house where he stayed overnight and took a shower, then washed away the sticky substances on his body.

After wiping it clean and putting it on, Ji Chen slowly walked out of the house.

Inside the courtyard.

In addition to Wu Guang and A Liang, there is also a gaunt old woman and a strong young man.

He is the owner of the courtyard, the old woman's son - Cheng Ye,
only.

His left index finger and middle finger were severed, but the jaw of his right hand was covered with thick calluses.

Ji Chen walked to the courtyard and showed a bright smile.

"Thank you for taking me in so that I can wash off the mud on my body."

After entering the village, I found the ancient well, but you can't take a bath naked, right?In urgent need of a home.

Dozens of companies were searched but all were rejected.

Finally, after asking about the courtyard, she was willing to free up the house for him to take a bath.

To Ji Chen, this was considered a favor.

As he spoke, he took out a dozen pieces of gold from his pocket and handed it over to express his gratitude.

But he was rejected by the old woman.

"Child, take it back quickly. It's easy to take a bath. Old lady, I... really don't want your money."

"Young master, you are out of town." Cheng Ye agreed and smiled: "We met by fate, so we can't talk about money... Seeing that you are escorting the goods, you are already tired on the road, and my mother and I have prepared meals for you."

have to say.

This mother and son are warm-hearted and kind people.

Having said this, Ji Chen realized that he was ignorant if he continued to force things, so he took back the broken silver.

But this kindness must be remembered and must be repaid.

"An ancient saying goes, guests do as the host does, but I listen to the host's opinions."

So ever.

Under the hospitality of Cheng Ye's mother and son, Ji Chen not only took a bath, but also had a meal with Wu Guang and A Liang.

The dinner table.

A Liang buried his head in eating and Wu Guang chewed slowly.

On the other hand, Ji Chen glanced at Cheng Ye's broken finger and asked casually.

"What happened to your wound? It looks like the wound was cut off by a sharp blade."

When Cheng Ye heard this, he subconsciously retracted his right hand, as if the injury was a sign of inferiority for him, and he had an ulterior secret that he didn't want others to know.

Cheng Ye's mother looked gloomy, stretched out her palm as dry as a dead tree, and patted Cheng Ye's arm.

"Son, tell the truth. Don't put too much burden on yourself. It's just your mother who is dragging you down."

"Don't say that." Cheng Ye quickly comforted him, putting his other hand on the back of his mother's hand, pursed his lips and said bitterly: "Without you, where would this child be? To save you... it's all worth it."

These words were spoken from the bottom of my heart and were not artificial in the slightest.

After hearing the conversation, Ji Chen was extremely curious, but he didn't continue to ask questions. This was someone else's business and he could just mention it.

He didn't mean to expose anyone's wounds.

But when he saw that the opponent's tiger's mouth was covered with thick cocoons, he deduced that the opponent was once a Great Qin general.

According to the laws of Daqin, retired soldiers who were injured on the job can receive allowance compensation. But when they were taking a bath in the house, they found that Cheng Ye's family was extremely poor, so he asked about it.

Seeing that Cheng Ye's mother and son were still talking, Ji Chen ate his meal wisely and stopped mentioning the matter.

After a while.

After Cheng Ye finished admonishing his mother, he picked up the wine bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and sighed deeply.

"Young Master, I'll tell you the truth. I was wrong about this matter first, so I don't mind mentioning it."

Cheng Ye picked up the jug and filled a bowl of wine for Ji Chen, touched it lightly, and drank it all again.

But his mother didn't hold it back.

"Sir, let me tell you."

Ji Chen put down the wine bowl, nodded and said, "But it doesn't matter."

"Actually, Cheng Ye cut off two of his fingers by himself." Speaking of this, Cheng Ye's mother wiped away tears.

As soon as these words came out.Ji Chen and Wu Guang were stunned, but A Liang was immersed in his food and ignored what was going on outside the window.

"Auntie, why is this?" Wu Guang couldn't help but laugh and asked. He really didn't understand why he had to cut off his fingers.

Ji Chen's eyes were also suspicious and he listened attentively.

Cheng Ye's mother wiped away her tears and said slowly, "He was once a great Qin soldier. He fought bravely on the battlefield and rose to the second-level title."

Ji Chen nodded in approval.

The military merit system of the Qin State is divided into twenty titles. By killing the enemy's head, you will be upgraded and awarded titles. Cheng Ye's ability to reach the highest title is enough to show that he is extremely brave on the battlefield.

Generally speaking, the Great Qin army is an army of tigers and wolves, which is inseparable from the military merit division system.

"But I was seriously ill at that time, and I was still far away from selling the property I was given. In order to raise funds to treat the old woman's condition, I borrowed a lot from my comrades, but I never got enough. In desperation... I borrowed a lot from the old woman. Unknowingly, after a battlefield victory, Cheng Ye cleaned the battlefield and deliberately cut off two fingers in search of compensation."

When he said this, Cheng Ye interrupted and followed up on the street.

"I thought the matter was seamless, but Chief Zuo saw it and after learning the details, he did not expose me and compensated me with a batch of money, but advised me to take the money and leave to prevent the incident from being exposed."

After learning what happened, Ji Chen gave Cheng Ye a thumbs up.

Cut off the fingers to save the mother.

This behavior alone is admirable.

"A strong man!" Wu Guang picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

Cheng Ye did the same and drank heavily.

"Do you have a pen and ink at home?" Suddenly, Ji Chen asked. After hearing Cheng Ye's story, he understood why he took the initiative to help him, taking care of food and boiling water for bathing.

Cheng Ye deeply understands his most helpless mood, because he has been exposed to the rain and understands the meaning of an umbrella holder.

In this case, he was willing to help Cheng Ye.

When Cheng Ye heard Ji Chen's words, he didn't think much and quickly stood up and nodded.

"Yes, I will go to the house to get it for you."

Ten seconds passed.

Cheng Ye came out with the pen and ink and handed it to Ji Chen with both hands, his eyes confused as to what the use of the pen and ink was at this time.

Ji Chen took the pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote four words on a bamboo slip - Give him a heavy responsibility.

After Cheng Ye saw this word, he asked in surprise: "Master, what are you doing?"

Ji Chen smiled mysteriously.

"Take this jade slip to the Meng family in Xianyang City, and ask the Meng family to deliver it to King Qin Yingzheng. When it comes... you will know."

poof...

The voice fell.

Cheng Ye was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.

Meng family?

There are only the Meng family of General Meng Ao and his son General Meng Wu in Xianyang City.

The Meng family was like a majestic and unshakable mountain in the hearts of the Qin soldiers, and it was even more of a sacred place.

What made his heart palpitate even more... This was all about bringing up King Qin Ying Zheng, and anyone else would be shocked.

"Master, who are you?" Cheng Ye asked tremblingly.

Ji Chen put down the bamboo slips and chuckled.

"The people you help."

then.

Ji Chen patted Wu Guang, and Wu Guang understood and stood up, saying that he was going to leave. Before leaving, he bowed to Cheng Ye's mother and son to show his kindness.

Ji Chen took A Liang to say goodbye, got on the carriage, and drove slowly towards Hangu Pass.

Cheng Ye clutched the bamboo slip tightly, looking at the disappearing figures of Ji Chen and the others, he suddenly fell into deep thought.

Cheng Ye's mother understood her children's thoughts best and showed a long-lost smile.

"We have met a noble person, my child...you don't have to worry about me, just follow your own ambitions."

"Yes, mother."
