After the rain, the sky cleared, the sun rose, and it started to get hot again.
Ye Yanke squatted on the threshold with a bowl of rice, eating with big mouthfuls.
What he ate was He Agui's bowl of burnt rice, and the dish was half a blackened dried salted fish.
After eating the pancakes filled with meat and eggs, the old man was basically full, so he kept the burnt rice as he originally wanted to have it for dinner.
When I brought Ye Yanke home, I heard that he hadn't had lunch yet, so I gave him the burnt rice.
There is no bounty, but at the very least, you have to take care of the food.
Only when you have a full stomach can you have the strength to kill the monster.
Ye Yanke seemed to be really hungry. If he didn't pick his taste, the salted fish would be burnt and the rice would be cooked. He ate very deliciously.
His straw sandals were rotten, so he simply took them off, leaving his feet bare. He looked like a country boy with nothing at all like a knight-errant.
Except for that heavy sword.
Ye Yanke cherished this sword very much and never left it alone, nor let others touch it.
Chen Jin sat on the shaft of the car and looked at him with interest.
Feeling the observing gaze, Ye Yanke raised his head and asked vaguely: "Scholar, where do you come from? Where are you going?"
"I'm from Genshui County, and I went to the prefecture and county to take the exam."
"Where is Genshui County?"
"A small county under the jurisdiction of Yunling Prefecture."
"Oh, I know Yunling Mansion."
Ye Yanke continued to cook and finished eating. Suddenly I saw a grain of rice stuck to the edge of the bowl. I licked it clean with my tongue. Then I stood up with satisfaction and took the bowl to wash.
Then come and talk to Chen Jin: "You are a scholar, but you go to the state and county alone to take the exam, without bringing a scholar with you?"
Chen Jin said: "I'm not a disciple of a wealthy family. Where can I get the scholar followers?"
Ye Yanke took a look at it: "Don't try to lie to me. You can afford a carriage, and this is a good horse."
In the Qian Dynasty, families who could own a carriage, even if they were not from a wealthy family, were still quite wealthy and could afford it.
Chen Jin said: "The carriage is not mine, but the county government lent it to me. After using it, I have to return it."
"Oh, that's it."
Ye Yanke understood.
No wonder Chen Jin was dressed simply. Not to mention the scholarly entourage, he didn't even have a coachman, so he had to drive the coach himself.
Maybe the sword he was carrying was borrowed from someone else for self-defense.
Since everyone was born poor, he suddenly felt that the distance was getting closer. He also sat on the shaft, stretched out his hand to touch the shaft wood, and praised: "This car is really good."
After touching the car, I immediately went to touch the horse, from the horse's head to the horse's butt. I couldn't put it down.
Obviously he loves horses more.
He said: "One day, when I have saved enough money, I will buy a good horse and travel around the world."
Chen Jin smiled and said: "I think you should buy a pair of good shoes first. If you don't even have to wear shoes, even if you go to accept the bounty mission, people will not give you a high price."
Ye Yanke blinked: "It makes sense."
The two started talking like this, and it didn't take long before Chen Jin learned about each other's life experience:
Ye Yanke was born as an orphan. He was adopted by an old swordsman when he was young and was taught swordsmanship. At the beginning of this year, the old swordsman died of illness.
After burying his mentor, Ye Yanke began to wander the world.
However, the world is not as beautiful as imagined. He is also a man of moral principles and rules, so his life is not satisfactory, and he can even be said to be down and out. All over his body, the heavy sword passed down to him by his master was used as a facade to earn a living.
When He Agui came out, he couldn't help but said to Chen Jin: "Master, do you really have to leave?"
Chen Jin nodded: "I want to see how this knight-errant slays monsters."
Hearing this, He Agui sighed, said no more, moved a small stool to the yard, sat in the sun, and enjoyed this rare relaxation.
Ye Yanke looked at Chen Jin: "Scholar, I will stay to kill the demon, but I may not be completely sure. If something happens, I won't be able to take care of you. You'd better stay away and don't get close."
Chen Jin smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, I have also learned swordsmanship. Maybe, I can still help."
He patted the Cao Mang sword and made a sound.
Ye Yanke didn't really believe it. In his impression, he had always thought that scholars were accustomed to rhetoric and talking on paper. If you really encounter danger, you will be scared to death. Especially for a white-faced scholar like Chen Jin, even if he has learned swordsmanship, he has mostly learned some tricks.
Time passed quietly, and it was almost evening.
He Agui started to prepare dinner. There were two more people at home, and they were both very eatable, so they had to cook a lot of rice.
At this time, Chen Jin took off most of the bag of rice from the carriage, as well as other ingredients, various seasonings, etc.:
"Old man, I'll make dinner today, and you can rest aside."
He Agui was startled: "How can this be so embarrassing?"
Chen Jin said: "I also want to eat myself, so I can borrow your pot and firewood."
Just as he was talking, there was a sudden noise outside.
Soon, someone walked into the yard.
Two people.
Two young women.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The one on the left is tall and has a cold face; the one on the right is slightly shorter and plump. When walking, his waist and hips twist and turn, which looks a bit artificial.
Both women were wearing very gorgeous clothes, with their waists tied up and their chests straightened out, and their expressions were arrogant. When she saw the mess around the house, she frowned, unable to hide her disgust.
The most noticeable thing is that their eyebrows are actually painted red, which is extremely delicate and beautiful.
Behind the two women were several old men, who were timid and did not dare to get too close, but also looked curious.
He Agui was equally surprised. He didn't know what happened. He felt nervous and reserved. For a moment, he was speechless.
The plump woman put her hands on her hips and said arrogantly: "Are you the head of Datang Village?"
He Agui hurriedly said: "I'm just the old man. I've seen... I've seen fairies."
In panic, I didn't know what to call him, so he could only choose something nice to say.
To them, the two women were indeed dressed and groomed like fairies.
The woman was quite satisfied with this title and said with a gentle look on her face: "We are disciples of the Red Eyebrow Sect. We heard that there is a snake demon here, so we came here to surrender."
He Agui was overjoyed when he heard the name of the Red Eyebrow Sect and quickly knelt down on the ground: "Thank you two fairies! Your kindness will be unforgettable to us villagers."
"Unforgettable."
The other old people also knelt down.
The woman with a cold face glanced at Ye Yanke, who was carrying a heavy sword, and finally fell on Chen Jin. She stayed for a moment, and then said: "We have solved the snake demon issue, and there is no need for others to look at it." Nosy.”
After that, he left with his companions and headed straight for the water.
"Okay, now the village is saved."
He Agui was so happy that he burst into tears.
Suddenly being robbed of his business, Ye Yanke asked angrily: "Village chief, is this Red Eyebrow Sect very powerful? I haven't even seen the snake demon yet, so I said it was solved."
"Ye Xiake, you don't know something. Within a hundred miles, this is the Red Eyebrow Sect!"
He Agui gave a thumbs up and then started talking nonstop.
……
But he said that the two female disciples of the Red Eyebrow Sect left the village lightly and came to the shore of the water behind.
The sun sets over the mountains, and the red clouds for a long time make the water surface turn red, which is a unique scenery.
The woman with a cold face glanced around and said, "Junior sister Cai, blow the bone whistle to see if Xiaohong is in the water."
Junior Sister Cai was saved, so she took out something from her waist, which was a strange-looking bone whistle. She put it into her mouth and immediately made a sharp sound.
After blowing for a while, there was a strong sound of wind, sparkling ripples, but no movement.
"Sister Liu, Xiaohong is not here."
Senior Sister Liu frowned, raised her head and looked around: "Did you run up the mountain? Let's go up and have a look."
"Okay."
The two of them walked hand in hand, their gorgeous clothes fluttering in the mountain wind, their skirts flying, and they looked as if they were immortals.
After they left, a while later, the originally gentle river suddenly made a strange "gurgling" sound, as if it was boiling.
The next moment, a black shadow appeared, its long body swimming in the water, especially ferocious!
