The official road of the farmer

And Li Yu, whom Ye Junshu was thinking about, had indeed arrived in Huaichuan County.

As soon as he entered the city, Li Yu went straight to the Yamen and settled down there.

At this time, the yamen was very deserted, and the manpower available in the mansion was either looking for someone or repairing the embankment.

None of them are in the yamen.

There were only a few servants in the yamen, and the others who could leave their posts obeyed the arrangement and went to help.

So the whole yamen seemed deserted.

The news of Li Yu's coming to Huaichuan was not publicized, only the guards of the Li family knew about it, but they were very tight-lipped.

So before Li Yu's arrival, the people in Huaichuan didn't know about it, and kept a low profile.

But when he came to the yamen, there was some commotion after all, and it didn't take long for Xi Mao to rush over with several officials.

"I have seen the third son."

Strictly speaking, Li Yu's position is only a small general, but because of the special status of the Li family and the great favor of the three giants in the palace, no matter whether he is a minister or a small official, he is honored as the third son.

"My lords, there is no need to be polite."

Li Yu was just being polite, and then went straight to the point and said, "I think all of you adults know my reason for coming, but I don't know how the rescue work is doing now?"

Xi Maochang cupped his hands and said, "Third Young Master, from the moment the accident happened, we assigned some people to search for it, but..."

Xi Mao often smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Insufficient manpower?" Li Yu looked at Xi Maochang.

Xi Mao often said: "The maximum number of people that can be sent has been sent out. If there are more, I can't do anything."

Even if Ye Junshu's whereabouts are unknown, the flood control work must be carried out in time.

One day later, the damage to the people will be one more day, and the loss of the court will be greater.

And deep down in their hearts, the possibility of Ye Junshu still alive is not great.

Perhaps like those ordinary people who failed to retreat in time, they sank to the bottom of the water.

At this time, the eldest prince Xiahou Xuandai also appeared Shi Shiran, and when the enemy met, the arrogance was tense and sparks blazed... that was impossible.

Li Yu cast a cold glance at the eldest prince, and saluted him, his behavior could not be faulted in the slightest.

Xiahou Xuandai greeted hypocritically, "Brother Yu must have been in a hurry all the way and worked hard. This prince will take advantage of the land to do his best as a landlord and clean up the dust for Brother Yu."

Li Yu said indifferently, "Prince Lao, you don't need to worry about it. The most important thing right now is how the person is found."

Saying that, without waiting for the eldest prince to react, he said to Xi Mao, "What news?"

Xi Maochang said solemnly: "Our people searched all the way down the road, but until now, no one has seen Mr. Ye by the river...The villages along the river have also found corpses during this period, and we sent people to see them one by one. However, Master Ye is not inside."

Xi Mao often described the process of searching for people during this period in detail.

Xiahou Xuandai seemed to feel the same way, "Brother Yu, don't worry too much. Master Ye just fell into the water to save the people. The court will definitely not give up on Master Ye."

"The eldest prince is righteous, and the whole court has heard that the eldest prince has also personally risked himself to save people, so they give them great appreciation."

The eldest prince's smile froze almost imperceptibly, and then he said a few words of humility.

The story of them falling into the water to save people spread, and Xiahou Xuandai also began to take it as a fact.

"My prince is grateful for Master Ye's self-sacrifice, and also asked the guards to go to find someone. One more person is more powerful. It's just that there are too many branch rivers in the middle and lower reaches, so I couldn't find him for a while. Presumably, Master Ye is waiting for us to find him somewhere. "

Xi Mao often interjected, "Yes, Ye Junshuji has his own aura, so he will be fine. The third son doesn't have to worry."

Even though Li Yu knew that Ye Junshu's disappearance was inseparable from the Eldest Prince's handwriting, he couldn't find evidence, so he had to be polite, "Please, my lords, do your best to find someone."

"It should be, it should be!"

No news is good news, Li Yu can only think in a good direction.

Knowing the progress of the matter, Li Yu wanted to wait for the latest news from the person who went out to find someone.

Li Jia, Li Yi and other mighty troops had already led people out in several batches, and later Li Bing also joined the search for people.

Li Bing knew that his master was coming, so he specially left someone to wait for Li Yu's arrival.

It's just that Li Bing and his group acted secretly in Huaichuan, and only after they met Li Yu at the gate of the city did they turn to the public.

For a while, the people who went out have not come back so quickly.

Xi Maochang said with concern, "Third Young Master, your complexion doesn't look very good. The lower official even asked someone to clean Lord Ye's temporary room every day. Why don't you take a rest? I'll look for you when there's news?"

Li Yu rushed all the way from Shangjing to Huaichuan County. Although he was riding in a carriage, the driving was not too fast, but they basically drove day and night.

As soon as he arrived at the place, he couldn't wait to learn about the situation of the missing person, and he didn't have time to catch his breath when dealing with the First Prince and other officials.

Li Yu wanted to refuse at first, but he didn't know what he thought of, so he said, "Then I will trouble Mr. Xi."

Seeing that Xi Maochang and the others wanted to see them off in person, Li Yu said, "My lords, please stay here, you can go about your own business, there is no need to entertain me specially."

Afterwards, Li Yu bowed his hands to bid farewell to Xiahou Xuandai and other officials, and then took his own people and asked them to lead the way to Ye Junshu's small courtyard.

After a while, they arrived at the place. All of Li Yu's subordinates were outside. They pushed the door open and went in, and then closed the door behind their backs.

Li Yu walked forward all the way, looking around casually.

The house is very simple, but tidy and clean.

The temporary owner has been away for many days, and his breath is already very weak.

Li Yu looked down at the neatly folded bed, then lay down on it lightly, taking the thin quilt to cover himself.

He pulled the quilt and sniffed closer, as if he could still smell the faint breath of Ye Junshu.

Li Yu suddenly felt more at ease.

He sighed silently.

Zizhou didn't know where she was, if she knew she was pregnant, what expression would she have...

Li Yu rubbed his stomach, but he didn't feel uncomfortable. He is outside now, which is very inconvenient, and he can't disclose the news he has.

So I can't go to the doctor.

But he had already drank several anti-abortion pills on the way, so he thought it would be fine.

No matter how cautious he is about many things, he is still worried that he will not be able to guard against them.

Li Yu cherishes this hard-won child very much, but now he can only be wronged.

He was worried that if the First Prince and the others knew about it, they would have nothing to fear.

He smelled Ye Junshu's breath, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.

Li Yu was indeed tired.

Towards evening, someone came to report that part of the search team had returned.

Li Yu fell into a deep sleep this time, feeling light all over his body, and had more energy to deal with the next thing.

When he walked to the hall, almost all the officials here were present.

No matter what you think in your heart, there is always some concern on your face.

This time it was Li Jia who came back, and there were two other teams.

It just didn't bring back good news.

The situation is not optimistic.

After so many days, the dams have been repaired and the flood has receded. They only need to finish the finishing work.

Still can't find any trace of Ye Junshu, I'm afraid...

But no one in the room said it stupidly, they all looked at their eyes and their noses.

Li Yu waved his hand and said, "Go down."

"Yes."

Li Jia and others who came to return to their orders withdrew.

Lieutenant Kang comforted: "Don't be discouraged, third son. There are still a few other teams that haven't come back yet. I think tomorrow will definitely bring good news."

"yes……"

"Maybe the people below are not careful. There are many branches downstream, large and small. There must be something missing..."

Li Yu responded with confusion, and continued: "My lords have worked hard, it's getting late now, why don't you have dinner first, and then discuss."

"Yes."

Others naturally have no opinion.

Even though they didn't go out to find people in person, but because some people were sent out, they were busy keeping an eye on the repair of the Huaihe dam and the cleaning work on both sides, and sometimes they had to go off in person.

Even though some of them had secretly used some steamed buns, they were already growling with hunger.

Although Li Yu didn't like to hold banquets, the officials present were all busy with his affairs, and Li Yu wanted to show something anyway, so he bought a relatively sumptuous meal at his own expense.

However, this is still a disaster area, and no matter how abundant the supplies are, there will be nowhere to go. The most is a few more game that Li Yu let people hunt on the way.

But for officials who haven't eaten a good meal for a long time, it is already extremely delicious and rich.

A meal was enjoyed by the guests.

Others were more attentive to the search.

On this kind of occasion, the eldest prince was naturally present, as if he didn't know that he was annoying, and once again made a sense of presence in front of Li Yu.

He once again expressed his regret that Ye Junshu had not been found so far, and he also said that he wanted to find someone together.

Li Yu frowned, and finally said: "Prince, Your Majesty calls you back to Beijing immediately."

He came here this time with the will of Emperor Tai'an.

Oh, just forgot to mention that at first.

Xiahou Xuandai's smile narrowed, "Father is grateful for the kindness of this prince..."

Before the eldest prince finished speaking, Li Yu continued: "Ming noble concubine heard that the eldest prince fell into the water to save someone. After being stimulated, she fainted several times and wept day and night. When she learned that I was coming here, she specially asked me to , I must let you go back immediately."

Xiahou Xuandai's smile froze.

What Li Yu said was true, he couldn't tell whether it was true or not.

But he knew that Li Yu was just cold-tempered and not talkative, but he seldom lied, and it was likely to be true, and no one dared to make false claims about his father's will.

Commander Kang said with emotion: "Poor parents in the world, Your Majesty and Concubine Ming are concerned about the eldest prince, and you can't feel at ease if you don't see it with your own eyes!"

Other officials also sighed and complimented non-stop.

Xiahou Xuandai said with a moved face, "It's my prince who made my father and concubine Mu worry."

As soon as the matter came to this point, no matter how you say it, regardless of whether the eldest prince is unwilling or not, his return to Beijing tomorrow has become a fact.

Not long after, Xiahou Xuandai left with his men and returned to the mansion.

The place where he lived temporarily was the mansion of Deng Hongyuan, the governor of the county, and Xia Houjue, the fourth highness, and he was not with other officials.

Xiahou Xuandai paced back and forth in the hall, thoughtful.

At the end, he asked Hou's guard at the side, "Our people haven't been found yet?"

"Back to the eldest prince, no."

Xiahou Xuandai was happy with Emperor Tai'an's concern for him. From this point of view, even though Emperor Tai'an was afraid of the eldest prince, there was always some kind of family affection that he kept giving up.

But Ye Junshu hadn't been found yet, and Xiahou Xuandai felt uneasy all day long without confirming his news.

It's okay for him to be here, under the banner of looking for someone, he went looking for someone with great fanfare.

But if he left, things would be difficult.

Not to mention that now that Li Yu has come, it is even more difficult for him to find a chance to make a move.

The current plan is to find Ye Junshu first.

It's a pity that this Ye Junshu is really good at hiding. So many people searched for one, but they didn't find any clues.

He sent people to watch the county town and the major pharmacies below, just to see if anyone was going to buy wound medicine.

According to the deceased man, he had already stabbed Ye Junshu, but he didn't hit the vital part.

But at that time in the water, the blood loss rate would be accelerated. Once Ye Junshu passed out in the water, he would die in eight or nine out of ten cases.

Xiahou Xuandai didn't quite believe that Ye Junshu could escape under such circumstances.

He was convinced that Ye Junshu was dead.

But he was still uneasy if he didn't see the body for a day.

If he went back tomorrow, he would definitely take most of the people with him, otherwise he would not be able to go on the road with peace of mind.

In this way, there will not be many people staying here.

At that time, there is no chance of winning against Li Yu's people.

No matter how unwilling Xiahou Xuandai was, he could only let it go.

"Bring people back."

"Yes!"

It's just that he was not reconciled in the end, and after thinking for a while, a small group of people stayed down to search secretly.

Here, shortly after the First Prince left, the other officials also resigned one after another.

When Li Yu returned to the courtyard, Li Jia was already waiting in the hall.

When Li Yu came in and sat on the first seat, he immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty: "This subordinate has neglected his duty, please punish him!"

Li Jia was extremely ashamed. His duty was to protect Master Ye, so he should not leave him at every step, so that others would have to weigh some points if they wanted to attack Master Ye.

Unfortunately, he still lost his job.

Li Yu was a little angry at the guard for not protecting Ye Junshu well, but now is not the time to pursue responsibility.

Li Yu said coldly: "After you go back, you can go and receive the punishment on your own."

As for the idea that something would happen to Ye Junshu, in Li Yu's mind, it didn't exist.

"Subordinates obey!"

Li Jia breathed a sigh of relief, even though he knew that the punishment would be severe, he could still save his life. They were not afraid of death, but they wanted to use their own lives to pay for their failure.

"Recount what happened in detail."

The news Li Yu heard came from various sources, and he had to judge whether it was true or false. Although the guards were weak in protecting him, he still trusted their words more.

"Master Hui, that day..."

Li Jia succinctly narrated what happened.

From the moment Shangjing left, Li Jia and Li Yi were always by Ye Junshu's side, never leaving him for a moment.Even if you need to leave sometimes, at least one of them will stay.

This situation continued until the day of Ye Junshu's accident.

That day happened to be the first day of repairing the dam, which required a lot of manpower.

The eldest prince sent all the people around him to help. They couldn't stay by Ye Junshu's side any longer, so they went to help under Ye Junshu's order.

Li Jia and the others thought that Ye Junshu was not far away, and they could pay attention to it at any time, and there were so many officials and people here, they probably wouldn't do anything in public.

They were then arranged to serve as a human flesh network wall.

Under such circumstances, it was impossible to pay attention to Ye Junshu's side all the time. For some reason, a group of officials who were standing on a high place had disappeared.

They were very anxious, but their hands and feet were bound, and it was impossible to leave under such circumstances.

Unexpectedly, not long after, when they heard the news of Ye Junshu again, it was the news that he, the First Prince and another commoner fell into the river.

Then they searched in time, and found the first prince on the relatively gentle bank of the middle river.

It seemed that the eldest prince was rescued by someone, but at that time, there was only the eldest prince in a radius of several hundred meters, and Ye Junshu and another person were not seen.

After that, it was what they were looking for all the way down the river bank.

Li Jia and others contacted Li Bing in private five days ago. They searched in the open, while Li Bing and the others searched in the dark.

It's a pity that after so many days, there is still nothing.

"You asked the people about their whereabouts along the way, but you didn't notice anything unusual?" Li Yu frowned.

"Yes."

During this period of time, due to the flood, the people of Linhe in the middle and lower reaches of the village had picked up many living and dead people. If they inquired, they should not be concealed.

Li Jia and the others judged that those people were not lying, even if they occasionally said they had seen it, they all confirmed it was not the case.

Ye Junshu... seems to have disappeared out of thin air.

Li Jia was ashamed.

Not only did they fail to protect him, they couldn't even find him.

Li Yu's face was sullen, and his fingertips were lightly clasped on the table.

After a while, he said: "Go down, I will go with you tomorrow."

Li Jia replied respectfully, "Yes."

Then back off and leave.

Li Yu sat in the hall for a while, then got up and went back to his room to rest.

The servants had already filled up the hot water, and Li Yu soaked in the water to relieve his fatigue, and remained silent.

It took a while to touch the soft and slightly curved belly, lowered his eyes and sighed softly, where is the child's father?

Ye Junshu was repairing some rare pieces of furniture in the house.

One leg of the dilapidated square table was broken, and the other two legs were crumbling, leaving only one leg to prop up the whole body.

Li Yu found some straight wooden sticks in the kitchen, and then shaved off the vines brought back, leaving only the bare vine branches.

Then tie the wooden sticks to the table legs with vines, and tie them tightly.

Due to limited conditions, Ye Junshu couldn't find other more suitable materials, so he could only use local materials.Now he's dealing with the last broken leg.

Ye Junshu searched for a long time before finding a suitable thick wooden stick, compared the correct height, and then tied it to the cut place, replacing the incomplete part with a wooden stick.

He put his hand on the table, pressed it down and shook it, and it was steady, so the repair was completed!

Ye Junshu looked up at the irregular holes in the roof, thought about it, but still didn't deal with it.

The conditions are too difficult.

A clever woman can't live without rice, he has no thatch to fill the hole, and there is no ladder for him to climb.

Even if he could go up, the roofs of those dangerous buildings probably wouldn't be able to bear his weight, and it would only make things worse if he went up.

I really don't know how this dilapidated house survived the torrential rain for more than ten days.

Ye Junshu pays high respects.

This house is already very difficult to repair, the best way is to tear it down and redo it.

It's just that they want no one, no money, and want to build a house, they are daydreaming!

Ye Junshu gave up decisively.

Ye Junshu made the only bed in the room, and it was much easier to sleep on.

Although it is very romantic to watch the stars and the moon at night, for the sake of his own body, Ye Junshu placed the wooden bed as far as possible without holes in the roof.

Fortunately, it didn't rain again during this period, otherwise I could really experience the spectacle of watching the rainwater fall from the cave, forming a column of water column, and the water on the ground formed a river.

They moved the table to a place that could barely cover the rain, and squatted on it to embrace their shivering sense of desolation.

During the past few days when they went up the mountain, Ye Junshu picked up some useful things, and the house didn't look so dilapidated anymore.

Ye Junshu put his hands on his hips, looking at the results he had made in the past two days, he felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart, he is so powerful, he can turn decay into magic.

After appreciating himself for a while, Ye Junshu turned around and left the house to tidy up the small kitchen which could only be walked four or five steps.

Hot water was boiling in the pot missing the big hole.

A pile of firewood was stacked neatly in the corner, reaching the roof of the shed.

Ye Junshu cooked the lunch by the way.

Relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to draft water.

There are mountains and water here, and the supplies are naturally abundant. They had to avoid the villagers during the day, so they went to the river to catch fish in the middle of the night.

Ye Junshu wove a big net out of vines, and they fished it a few times, and the harvest was not small.

Some time ago, the flood was raging. When we reached Xiachuan Village, although the water level still rose a lot, it was not to the extent that it overwhelmed the village.

It was brought down by the flood, and no one was fishing in the river during this period, which made it easier for them.

Some people may think that several corpses have been soaked in the river, can the fish in the water still be eaten?

But in fact, no one really taboos this.

First of all, this river is running water, and the river has a large capacity, so those few corpses in the river are undoubtedly a speck of dust in a bowl.

What's more, they can catch people who accidentally fell into the water from the river every year. If this is taboo, then they can't catch aquatic products all the time?

So Ye Junshu and his wife went fishing for several nights in a row, and the fish that they couldn't finish had already been dried in the sun, and they would save it for later eating.

In addition, they have set traps on the mountain these days, and they can still catch prey.It's a pity that there are no conditions, otherwise he can be a bow and arrow hunting, and the harvest will be even more.

Because if you go far, you can also pick wild mushrooms and wild fruits.

During this period of time, I don't have to worry about food, but there is no rice and noodles.

Ye Junshu regretted it.

Ye Junshu looked into the distance, wondering why Xiaoyou came back so late today?

Just as he was thinking about whether to go out to find someone, he saw Ye Junyou running from a distance. The smile that Ye Junshu had just raised fell down instantly when he saw the bruise on Ye Junyou's face.

"Who hit it?"

Ye Junyou was taken aback by Ye Junshu's suddenly darkened face, and then realized that he was angry only when he saw the wound on his face. He couldn't help scratching his messy hair, and said honestly: "Those children in the village beat me up. of."

He went out and ran into the mountain today, and wanted to see if there were any wild animals in the trap, but he happened to run into a group of children on the road, so he chased him and beat him.For this he also lost a bundle of firewood.

"Does it hurt?" Ye Junshu didn't have any ointment in his hand, so he had to rub it gently for him.

"No pain, no pain." Ye Junyou was already used to it, so he said indifferently, "It will be fine in a few days."

He had suffered worse injuries before, compared to those, these bruises are just drizzle!

It was this kind of habit that made Ye Junshu feel even more distressed.

Such a good child, but let him endure so much suffering, God is so unfair.

No matter how clear Ye Junshu is, there must be more miserable existences than this child in many corners of this world that he can't see, but when he doesn't see it with his own eyes, he always subconsciously ignores it.

And what happened to Ye Jun, let him see it, so he couldn't help but care about it.

Ye Junshu said: "If someone bullies you, you can't admit cowardice. You have to find an opportunity to bully you back. If there are many people and powerful people, you should run. Run as hard as you can. If they can't catch up with you, they won't be able to hit you."

"Of course, I can run really fast!" Ye Junyou said proudly, "They can't even outrun me."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have only got a few bruises, and he was hit when he was caught off guard. When he reacted, he ran away quickly!

Ye Junshu rubbed Ye Junyou's head, after thinking about it, he still felt uneasy, and finally he said: "I will teach you a few tricks later, when someone bullies you again, you can beat them back severely, as long as you don't kill anyone, Hit as hard as you want."

No matter how naive and ignorant a child is, it is always wrong to hit someone, and it is because of ignorance that he does not know the severity of the attack.

Those adults and children who like to bully others will never know how painful they are until they are beaten a few times.

That's why Ye Junshu didn't like to do anything. If he could reason, he usually only reasoned.

But not liking it doesn't mean he allows others to bully himself and his family.

Ye Junshu thought, how could his children be bullied?Even if there is a fight, it must be the winning side.

Several children in his family have fought, but there are many children in his family and there are many people, they have never lost a fight, and they have become a bully in the alley. I thought he didn't know it!

Sure enough, one person is still too bad.

Ye Junshu thought, when the child returns to Shangjing, he won't be bullied so badly.

"Really? Really?" Ye Jun asked excitedly after hearing Ye Junshu's words.

In Ye Junyou's eyes, Ye Junshu is really omnipotent, basically there is nothing he can't do.

Ye Jun imagined that he would beat those children who often bullied him to the point of crying and shouting, so he couldn't help being happy.

"Yeah." His children can no longer be bullied.

Ye Junshu put this matter on the agenda.

If possible, Ye Junshu would like to go to the parents to teach them that Ye Jun has someone to support him.

But it is not appropriate for him to show his face in front of outsiders now, otherwise if the news gets out, he still does not know whether it is his own or someone else who came first.

Ye Junshu pondered, perhaps he could find the door by himself.

He was familiar with most of the members of the Mighty Army, and if he saw them, he would have nothing to worry about.

If he is not one of his own, he can escape quickly in the dark.

Ye Junshu began to think about this possibility.

Ye Jun let out a sigh, remembered something, and quickly said to Ye Jun: "Brother, we haven't gone to see the trap today!" Maybe there are wild animals inside!

I didn't see any prey yesterday, but there must be one today!

Ye Jun was very annoyed, if he hadn't been careful not to pay attention to his surroundings, he wouldn't have bumped into that group of people, otherwise he would have gone into the forest a long time ago!

A few days ago, Ye Junshu took him into the mountains to dig traps for prey, and they harvested a pheasant and two rabbits the next day!It can be described as a bumper harvest!

Ye Junyou looked at these animals with meat in their eyes.

In the end, all these wild animals entered their stomachs, and they ate them for two days in a row. Ye Jun couldn't help drooling when he thought of the taste.

Ye Junshu looked at the sky outside and said, "Eat something first, I will go with you later."

"Okay!" Ye Jun nodded heavily, "Brother, don't worry, we will never meet anyone else this time!"

"Ah."

Ye Junshu already had other thoughts in his mind, and he didn't care if news of his presence would leak out.

Although Xiachuan Village is remote, it is not isolated from the world.

Ye Junshu guessed that someone might have come to the village to inquire.

It's just that when he was rescued at the beginning, it was just at night, and few villagers knew about it, because he didn't stay for long and was thrown to the foot of the mountain soon, so it didn't spread in the village.

Those who saved him and then dumped him would naturally keep their mouths shut, worrying about getting into trouble.

In addition, he himself did not take the initiative to appear in front of people, and he deliberately avoided it. Except Ye Junyou, no one knew that he was here.

Ye Junshu had already decided to take the child away, so it didn't matter whether the news leaked or not.

They went into the forest familiarly, and found the place where the trap fell. Ye Junshu saw the strangeness of the trap mouth, and immediately twitched his lips and said with a smile, "There is a prey!"

Jun Ye jumped up and down excitedly, and smiled silently, they had something delicious again!

He followed Ye Junshu closely, approaching the trap.

Ye Junshu pushed aside the grass above and looked inside. There was a pheasant underneath, colorful and extremely fat.

Jun Ye took a sip of his saliva.

Ye Junshu also heard the clucking sound of the big pheasant, and quickly grabbed it in his hand and tied it with rope.

This big rooster was only injured, not dead. It can be raised for at least two days.

Ye Junshu took Ye Junyou to see several other traps, and saw a rabbit.

There are no large dangerous animals in this mountain forest, probably due to the absence of natural enemies. Although there are few small animal species, they reproduce in great numbers.

However, these small animals are very strange, and the villagers at the foot of the mountain occasionally want to catch a game to satisfy their hunger, purely relying on luck and years of experience of the older generation.

Xiachuan Village is not big, and there are no hunters, which makes Ye Junshu cheaper.

Based on years of experience, he set traps in several places where animals are often seen, even if not every day, there will be harvest every two or two days.

Today, they harvested a big pheasant weighing about four or five kilograms, and a rabbit that was also quite big.

Although Ye Junyou was not much disappointed, it was good to have two, and soon he was in high spirits, actively wanting to pick up the prey.

Ye Junshu couldn't hold him back in the end, so he gave Ye Junyou the relatively light rabbit to carry.

Ye Junshu smiled and said, "Let's eat rabbits tonight."

"Okay!" Ye Jun had no objection.

"This wild pheasant, why don't we take it to the town tomorrow and exchange it for rice."

I eat vegetables and meat every day, and I have no rice to eat, so I always feel hungry.

Ye Jun hesitated, "I'm going to the town!"

"Yeah, we are always short of money, and we can buy food if we exchange it."

In fact, he thought, he could trade both of them.

However, Ye Jun ate a lot of meat during this period of time, so he finally looked better, and Ye Junshu would not be reluctant to part with a rabbit.

Moreover, this rabbit is already dead, and it is not good to leave it for a long time.

Ye Jun rarely went to the city, only in the past two years since he was kicked out of the house, he sneaked behind the villagers and went to the town twice.

It's just that in his impression, the people in the town are not friendly.

At the beginning, he wanted to work in the town to make money, but no one hired him, and the adults disliked him very much, and he was chased away like a fly when he entered the shop.

Later, he saw that beggars could earn a few pennies by squatting in the corner, so he also learned to squat on the ground with a broken bowl.

Unexpectedly, beggars also have territory, and Ye Junyou was also driven away in the end.

Unable to find a way out in the town, Ye Junyou had no choice but to go back to the village, at least he had a shelter from the wind and rain.

Ye Jun thought about it for a while, then raised his head and said to Ye Jun, "We will leave before dawn tomorrow." In this way, we will not meet people from the village.

Otherwise, what if those people ran into them and snatched their pheasants?

When they entered the city early, they would have sold the pheasants long ago, and no one would know about it.

"it is good."

"Brother, don't worry, I still remember the road, the village is not far from the town, and we will be there soon!"

"Um……"

"..."

Before dawn the next day, Ye Junshu and Ye Junyou got up to wash up, and then walked towards the town in the dark with the pheasant.

After a night, the pheasant was a little limp, but it wouldn't die for a while.

Live chickens are worth more than dead chickens.

When they reached the gate of the town, the simple gate had not yet opened.

Ye Junshu and the two were waiting outside.

At this time, the genius was dim.

Apart from Ye Junshu, there were other people waiting nearby. Seeing that they were carrying dustpans and baskets, they must be rushing to the morning market.

It's just that today is not a market day, and there are not many people after all.

Although Ye Junshu and Ye Junyou's clothes were torn, they were all tidy.

The child is no longer the dirty and messy look it used to be. With Ye Junshu around, even though he has no obsession with cleanliness, how can he take a look at the child's appearance?

Children need to be clean to be likable.

Therefore, Ye Jun's face, neck and hands were washed clean. Although there were holes in his clothes, he didn't look dirty if he didn't wash them for ten days and a half months.

Ye Junshu used soft rattan as a belt to fasten some loose clothes, which looked different in spirit.

Even the messy hair on his head was knotted, and Ye Junshu couldn't straighten it out even though he rubbed it in the water.

They didn't have scissors or combs, so Ye Junshu could only do this first.

Still, he tied up his messy hair with a cane.

When others see this child, they will not think he is a beggar.

Ye Junyou was still a little worried about seeing the people in the village, but he took a look, only a few of them were kind, but they were elderly.

Does Ye Jun remember his appearance? It should be that they have never bullied him, but just ignored his existence.

Ye Junyou remembers those people who bullied him in the village clearly.

Thinking about it this way, Ye Jun was no longer afraid, and tried to stand upright beside Ye Junshu, and even reached out to grab a corner of Ye Junshu's clothes.

Not long after, the city gate opened.

Those common people hurried into the city carrying their burdens.

Ye Junshu took Ye Junyou's hand and followed the flow of people in.

Fortunately, this town is not big, and they don't have to pay a city fee to enter the city.

Otherwise they won't be able to get in.

Ye Junshu stopped and looked around.

Ye Junyou originally wanted to follow those people rushing to the morning market, but when he saw Ye Junshu stop, he asked suspiciously: "Brother, don't we go with them?"

If you go later, the market will not have a good location!

As soon as Ye Jun thought of this, he became anxious, wishing he could run away with Ye Junshu.

"No rush." ​​Ye Junshu said, "Let's go find out the market first."

If he is not mistaken, there is a fee for setting up a stall in the market.

Ye Junshu and the others are penniless now, and if they can save a penny, they will save every penny.

He wants to maximize the value of this wild pheasant.

"Oh." After Ye Jun heard this, he was no longer in a hurry, and he obediently responded.

Ye Junshu led Ye Junyou to walk in the market.

The aroma of steamed buns, steamed buns and noodle soup at the morning stall filled the air, making people greedy.

Ye Junshu and Ye Jun didn't eat anything when they went out, and they walked for half a day. Now that they smelled these aromas, their stomachs were already growling with hunger.

"Selling steamed stuffed buns! Delicious and big meat buns!"

"Sell fried dough sticks! Don't miss it when you pass by!"

"..."

The cries from the small stalls were one after another, and the whole market was full of excitement.

Ye Junshu and the two walked for a while, carefully observing the people passing by, and it didn't take long for them to set their sights on the target.

"This aunt, please wait!"
