Ni Chu

When she cried, even Xiang Ye was frightened. Judging from her expression, Chi Xue'e definitely didn't look like she was pretending. If she was really pretending, if she was born 2000 later, she would definitely win an Oscar. Crying nose award, the level of crying when you say it is much better than those who put eye drops and wipe saliva.

The man was not intimidated by Chi Xue'e's tears, he held his chin and pondered for a moment and asked the two of them: "You don't even have money for meals, do you?"

Chi Xue'e touched her bosom again for a while, and finally raised her head helplessly, looked 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?" Is it? Take it out, we can’t live in a house for nothing.”

Xiang Ye was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Chi Xue'e foolishly, he didn't remember when she gave him money.But soon he saw the clue from Chi Xue'e's eyes, and quickly reached out to touch his bosom.

Originally, he wanted to follow Chi Xue'e's example and rummage around before telling the clerk that the money was lost, but when he stuffed his hand into his bosom, he actually found a bunch of copper coins tied with hemp rope, and he was shocked. His eyes widened.

The man frowned looking at the copper coins on the table, and said to the two of them, "You two, this money is not enough for accommodation and meals."

After finishing speaking, he bent down and picked up the copper tripod on the table, conveniently tucked the wine jar he brought earlier into his arms and said with displeasure on his face: "The wine is gone, half of this tripod has to be removed! "

Seeing the clerk remove the things, Xiang Ye wanted to stand up and argue with him, but Chi Xue'e who was sitting across from him gave him a wink, and he sat down again.

Not long after the man brought the tripod back to the back hall, he brought another plate of meat and a clay pot with some emerald green vegetable leaves floating in it.

Xiang Ye looked at Chi Xue'e, and saw that Chi Xue'e picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing carefully, so he picked up the chopsticks to pick up the green vegetable leaves in the soup pot in a similar manner. .

The green vegetable leaves were slippery in the mouth, and he felt that the taste was familiar. After tasting it for a while, he suddenly slapped his forehead and shouted: "I said sunflower, but it turned out to be amaranth! I thought it was sunflower leaves before!"

His strange cry startled Chi Xue'e, who was sitting across from her, she quickly raised her head to look at him, and asked with a puzzled face, "What is amaranth? What is sunflower?"

It wasn't until Chi Xue'e asked that Xiang Ye patted his forehead in embarrassment and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's nothing, I just thought of two plants in my hometown."

"Oh!" Chi Xue'e groaned, lowered her head and picked up a sunflower leaf, and put the sunflower leaf to her mouth, she suddenly raised her head and asked Xiang Ye: "I see that you seem to know something that many people know. I don’t even know, so I feel a little confused, where is your hometown? Why do you call sunflower amaranth?”

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.

Over 2000 years, even if he finds the land where he was born and raised, is it still the familiar hometown in his memory?

Chi Xue'e saw the distress in Xiang Ye's heart, and stopped asking about his hometown, and silently ate the dishes on the table with her head down.

When the man brought the 醢 up again, Sheng 醢's cauldron was a set smaller than before.He put the tripod on the table with his face in his mouth, instead of standing aside and watching them eat with a smile on his face like before, he turned and left.

"Hey!" Xiang Ye curled his lips contemptuously towards the back of the clerk, and muttered in a low voice: "What a dog's eyes, you know we have no money and make a face, when we first entered the store, we stood by the side like grandchildren superior."

"The worse his attitude is, the more at ease I will eat this meal." Xiang Ye's face was full of resentment, but Chi Xue'e, who was sitting opposite him, was smacking the dishes on the table with peace of mind, waiting for her to finish chewing a piece Rou then said: "Let's leave here after dinner, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay in Suiyang City."

Xiang Ye glanced at Chi Xue'e, and without asking why, he lowered his head and started eating voraciously.

He didn't sleep all night, he really wanted to stay in the building and get a good sleep, but since Chi Xue'e said to leave after eating, she must have her reasons.

After the two hurriedly finished their meal, they simply tidied up and left the building.

Seeing them leaving, the man curled his lips and snorted, but didn't stop them, and let them walk out of the gate.

"Let's go buy some medicine." Out of the building, Chi Xue'e seemed relieved, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said to Xiang Ye: "When you enter the building, you will look at me and act, and you must not do anything willful. "

"When did I act capriciously?" Xiang Ye gave Chi Xue'e a gloomy look, and then asked, "Speaking of which, why were you always so nervous just now? Could it be that the buildings in the city can still eat people?" Is it done?"

"Do you think they don't know how to eat people?" Chi Xue'e said as she walked forward, "It's a chaotic world today, and it's not as good as it used to be. All forces need to collect money in order to grow. Some forces simply choose to rob merchants, like me. If those who are doing business abroad don't have a lot of thought, I'm afraid they have already followed other people's way."

"Uh!" Xiang Ye nodded. What Chi Xue'e said is indeed reasonable. If she is a beautiful woman who travels outside like her and has huge wealth, if she is not careful, it is really easy to fall into the trap of someone with a heart. , but he still didn't quite understand one thing, Xiang Ye, who was holding the donkey with his left hand and the mule with the right, stepped forward and walked side by side with Chi Xue'e and asked, "How did you find out that there was something wrong with the staff in the building? "

Chi Xue'e's eyes stayed on a small house with a few dustpans outside the door not far ahead, and she said to him as if she didn't hear Xiang Ye's question at all: "There is a pharmacy in front, let's go buy some. wound medicine, and leave Suiyang quickly."

As she spoke, she quickened her pace.

The two bought some wound medicines from the pharmacy. Chi Xue'e stuffed the bottles of medicine she bought into her bosom, turned over and rode on the mule and said to Xiang Ye, "This time you ride the donkey and I ride the mule."

Xiang Ye responded and mounted the donkey.But the donkey seemed reluctant to let him ride it. After he rolled over on the donkey's back, the donkey raised its neck and howled twice, and turned around a few times, as if it wanted to throw him off. donkey back.

"You flat-haired bastard!" Ever since Xiang Ye led the donkey for the first time, the donkey had been against him as if he didn't like him very much, and now he finally angered him, and he rode on the donkey's back He punched the ass of the donkey fiercely and cursed: "You are very good when the beauty rides on your back. Why do you kick the ass when I ride it? Is it possible that the ass of the beauty is softer than that of the old man?" some?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Xue'e turned to stare at him, and he quickly shrank his neck and stopped scolding the little donkey under his crotch.

Strange to say, after he punched the little donkey, the little donkey became docile, and obediently followed the mule that Chi Xue'e was riding towards the outside of the city.

The two left the city and walked for several hours before finding a town to live in.

Xiang Ye had a lot of doubts in his mind. Although the staff in the building in Suiyang City showed a bit of power, he didn't find anything wrong with it, and when Chi Xue'e stuffed fifty copper coins into it without anyone noticing. He didn't know what was in his arms.

Although these problems entangled him, he finally fell into a dream after staying up for nearly a day and night without sleep.

More than 20 days later, two men in pure white clothes appeared outside the city of Xingyang. They rode 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 took a look, and let them into the city without any questioning.

These two people are none other than Xiang Ye and Chi Xue'e. On the road, Chi Xue'e felt that the donkey and mule were walking too slowly, so she added some money and exchanged them for two horses, and bought new clothes to cover her body with blood. After changing his clothes, he rushed to Xingyang.

After entering the city, Chi Xue'e rode straight towards the west of the city without asking anyone for directions.

On the way here, Xiang Ye heard from Chi Xue'e how prosperous Xingyang was, 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 didn't ask Chi Xue'e why, he had seen records about Xingyang at the end of Qin Dynasty in history books.

After Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising in Daze Township, the rebel army marched all the way to the west, and they were invincible wherever they went. But in the end, their hundreds of thousands of troops were trapped in the battle against Xingyang, and they were finally caught up. The Qin army annihilated them in one fell swoop.

In the Battle of Xingyang, Li You, the prefect of Sanchuan County, played a powerful role, and his name was engraved in history forever, and he was admired by generations of descendants.

It was Li You who commanded the Battle of Xingyang that Chi Xue'e wanted to take Xiang Ye to meet. On the way to the county guard's mansion, Xiang Ye kept imagining what Li You should look like.

According to historical records, Li You is the eldest son of Qin Prime Minister Li Si, and he should be a civil servant. However, in the Battle of Xingyang, he led the Qin army guarding the city and the people in the city to resist Zhang Chu's army that was several times their size. Without his bravery and unyielding integrity, a simple civil servant could not do this at all.

"Big sister, can you tell me what kind of person Li You is? What does he look like? Is he bad-tempered?" Xiang Ye rode up to Chi Xue'e and turned to look at her and asked.

During the days when the two got along, the relationship between Xiang Ye and Chi Xue'e became closer and closer. I don't know when, he has changed his name to Chi Xue'e's eldest sister; and Chi Xue'e seems to have forgotten what he did to him back then. The promise of repaying with your own body is like taking care of Xiang Ye like a big sister.

In terms of age, Chi Xue'e is more than 2000 years older than Xiang Ye. In terms of years of living in the world, she is one year longer than him, and has much more experience in the world than him. Xiang Ye naturally became her. younger brother and follower.
