The official road of the farmer

"Ah, excuse me."

"Young man, are you calling me?" Grandma turned her head subconsciously when she heard the voice, looked around, and saw that the person who made the voice just now was looking at her honestly.

"Well, okay." Ye Junshu stepped forward and said with a silly smile, "It's like this, the boy and my brother were lucky enough to catch a pheasant on the mountain, and wanted to sell it in the alley, but it was our first time in the town, so we couldn't find it for a long time. Lu, boy saw that you just came back from shopping in the alley, so I wanted to ask you how to get there."

Ye Junshu's selection of objects is very particular. The old lady he called to live in, his clothes were clean and tidy without patches, and he looked like a rich peasant family with no worries about food and clothing.

This old lady is undoubtedly a townsman.

The old grandma's face is friendly, which shows that the family is harmonious and the younger generation is filial. The basket also contains vegetables and half a catty of meat bought from the market early in the morning.

He bought six big meat buns in one go, which shows that the family has a large population.

The old lady first looked at Ye Junshu, then looked down at the fat pheasant in his hand, her eyes lit up, "Is it still alive?!"

Ye Junshu nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, it's fine for another two days."

"You're asking the right person. I just came over from the alley. Young man, do you really want to sell your pheasant?"

"That's right, we brothers can't eat much of such a big pheasant. It's wasted. I hope it can be exchanged for some money."

These days, meat is the most expensive, and no one would think that their own meat is too much.

Grandma lowered her head to look at her skinny little brother. The child was very well-behaved and sensible, and he didn't make a fuss about wanting to eat meat.

Poorer families are lucky enough to catch a wild animal, and they are basically reluctant to eat it. They can exchange it for silver in the town and buy more things.

It's been half a year since their family had eaten wild game, and they still feel a little greedy after thinking about it.

And the little grandson at home has been clamoring to eat chicken during this time, but those hens are all kept for laying eggs, and it hurts to kill any one, but it is still agreed that the little grandson will kill a chicken next few days after the Double Ninth Festival. I can coax the little grandson.

If there was this pheasant, his hen would not have to be slaughtered.

The old lady hesitated for a while, then gritted her teeth and said, "Young man, if you want to sell it, why don't you sell it to me!"

Ye Junshu thought about it for a moment, and then smiled naively: "If Ah wants it, then it's the best, and the boy will save this trip."

"How to sell?"

"Ah, you look like a real person. How much do you think this pheasant is worth? Let's make a price." Ye Junshu said, and handed the pheasant to Lao Ah.

The old Ah Mo weighed it, and knew it, this pheasant is really fat.

"I don't want to make a deal with you, so how about it, I'll give you ten cents a catty, and this pheasant is nine catties, how about it?"

"Okay." Ye Junshu smiled innocently, as if everything you said was good.

In fact, he didn't suffer at all, and this old lady was real.

Although the price of ten cents a catty is not high, it is not low either. Strictly speaking, this pheasant weighs less than ten catties at nine catties.

But the pheasant hadn't eaten all night, and its weight had decreased. In addition to the feathers and the sundries inside, Ye Junshu took advantage of the nine catties.

Both parties had no objection, and soon they paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other. The old lady took out the bulging money bag from the skirt of her shirt, counted ninety coins, and gave it to Ye Junshu.

"Is the count correct?"

Holding Ye Junshu in his hand, he didn't count, but said with a smile: "I can still trust you, the money is right."

"I'm going back now."

"Ah, go slowly."

Old Ah Mo was very upset when he heard that, he carried the pheasant and the basket in one hand, turned around and left quickly, and went home excitedly.

As soon as the people left, Ye Junshu leaned over and waved his hands at Ye Junyou, "We have money!"

Ye Junyou jumped up, very excited, looked at Ye Junshu with adoring eyes, "Brother is so amazing!"

Ye Junshu accepted the child's praise without humility.

"Big brother, how do you know that Ah Mo will buy our pheasant?" Ye Jun's eyes sparkled and he was extremely curious.

Ye Junshu pretended to be profound, "Brother, if you want to know, you will know."

Naturally, Jun Ye has a lot of words of admiration.

Ye Junshu secretly smiled, children are fun and easy to coax.

Of course, Ye Junshu was not completely sure, and the objects he selected were only those who were able and likely to buy.

If you don't buy this one, just find another one, and there will always be one who will buy it.

No matter how bad it is, he can find a restaurant to sell it, but the price will not be too high then.

"We sold it for a lot of money!" It was the first time Ye Jun had seen so many copper coins when he was so grown up!

After Ye Jun realized how many wild animals he had eaten during this period, Ye Jun froze immediately.

He ate a lot of [-] Wen coins, if they sold them all, then they would have a lot of money!

Ye Jun couldn't figure out the exact amount of silver. The largest number he knew was two hundred Wen, and he had heard others talk about it. He had no idea of ​​the exact amount.

Now looking at the pile of copper coins in Ye Junshu's hand, Ye Junyou suddenly realized.

Then it hurts!

A lot of ninety Wen coins!So many copper plates!

Ye Junshu was all smiles, and finally had a good meal.

With a wave of his hand, he swaggered and led Ye Junyou to the bun shop, "Let's go buy meat buns!"

The two quickly stood in front of the bun shop, staring at the steaming fat buns in the cage. "What do customers want to buy? We have pork stuffed buns, vegetarian stuffed buns, white flour steamed buns, corn flour steamed buns..."

"Give me four meat buns! Divide into two," Ye Junshu said.

"Okay! Customer, wait a moment!" The boss quickly wrapped it in oiled paper, "Guest, your steamed stuffed bun costs eight cents in total."

Ye Junshu first took one and handed it to Ye Junyou, took the other one himself, and then gave Bawen Qian.

Then I found a wonton stand and ordered a bowl of chaos, and the two sat at the table to have breakfast.

The two had a full meal, and Jun Ye hiccupped after eating.

He rubbed his swollen round belly, the meat buns and chaos were so delicious, so that's what they tasted like!

No wonder my younger brother clamored for meat buns when my father went to town.

But he also ate wontons!hey-hey!

Ye Junyou obediently followed Ye Junshu with a shy stomach, and asked, "Brother, are we going back now?"

"Later, let's go shopping first and buy something by the way."

"Oh."

The family is so poor that it can be said that they have nothing, and Ye Junshu wants to buy everything, but it is a pity that the dozens of pennies are not enough to spend.

Ye Junshu rushed to buy what he needed urgently.

He thinks it is better to take care of food and clothing first and then talk about other things.

During Ye Junshu's stroll, he saw rice grain stores and cloth shops, so he went to pick them out.

In the end, he bought a bag of rice noodles, and the reservation was for three days. He thought that in three days, Ah Yu should be able to find him.

Ye Junshu is convinced that Ah Yu will definitely come back to look for him.

With the rest of the money, they bought a set of the cheapest cotton ready-made clothes and a small pair of cloth shoes.

Both of them had only one set of clothes, which were still damaged, and they had to be changed and washed.

Originally, Ye Junshu wanted to buy a needle and thread to mend and make do with it, but he didn't have the skills to do it.

In the past, Ming'am helped to mend the clothes at home. Later, Brother Lu grew up, and he took over the sewing work.

Under the leadership of Ye Junyou, Ye Junshu walked around this small town.

To his disappointment, he didn't see any familiar faces.

Could it be that they didn't leave anyone here?

Maybe they had already looked here, but they couldn't find anyone at that time, so they all withdrew.

Seeing that Ye Junshu seemed to be looking for someone, Ye Jun quickly grabbed his hand, as if he wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it.

The joyful mood of putting on the new clothes dropped instantly.

He thought sullenly, elder brother wants to go home.

Ye Jun spent this period of time happily, but felt that time flies, and got used to Ye Junshu's side, but forgot that he didn't belong here at all.

He has his own original family and many younger brothers...

Brother will be home soon...

They walked around from morning to noon, some of Ye Jun's feet felt very tired, but he didn't dare to speak, fearing that his elder brother would abandon him.

When Ye Junshu stopped suddenly, Ye Junyou raised his head and asked, "Brother, where are we going?"

Ye Junshu lowered his head to look at Ye Junyou, saw that his forehead was covered with sweat, and said guiltily: "Brother is negligent, are you tired? Let's go home now."

He only focused on observing the surrounding environment and people, but he didn't expect that Ye Jun had been walking with him all morning, seeing his legs trembling when he walked, Ye Junshu felt apologetic.

They have already walked around the town twice, and they have spent all their money. They have no money for lunch, so let's go back and cook.

"Okay!" Ye Junyou showed a big smile.

He likes the word home.

"Come on, I'll carry you back." Ye Junshu squatted in front of Ye Junyou, the child was already tired after walking for so long.

Ye Junyou looked at the broad back in front of him, swallowed his saliva, and finally couldn't resist the desire in his heart, and lay down on his stomach.

Ye Junshu stood up steadily with the person on his back, and even staggered. Well, the boy of twelve or thirteen years old is not as heavy as any of his twins. It is too light, so he needs to be raised well.

Ye Junshu walked out of the city while thinking.

Ye Jun put his hands on Ye Junshu's shoulders, feeling very stable and safe.

He leaned his head secretly, and his eyes turned red instantly.

Ye Jun sniffed silently. Since he was a child, it was the first time someone carried him. When he saw Hou Amusheng's younger brother walking around on his father's back and riding his neck, he was so envious. .

Is this how Father feels?very nice……

Ye Junshu tried hard to remember the way when he came, but it was going backwards now, and it was still dark at that time. Ye Junshu walked a certain distance, took two forks in the road, and when he encountered another fork in the road, he was a little uncertain.

Ye Junshu asked, "Xiaoyou, which way shall we go?"

When there was no response, Ye Junshu called again in doubt: "Xiaoyou?"

Ye Junshu tilted the person down, and turned his head to see that Ye Jun had the child already sound asleep.

Ye Junshu smiled silently, then turned his head to look at the road in front of him, and chose the road based on his vague impression.

It should be this... right?

Ye Junshu raised his foot and stepped up.

Not long after Ye Junshu left the town, a group of strangers came slowly on horses, and then dismounted at the gate of the city.

"Third Young Master, let's go in and take a rest? By the way, let's inquire about it?"

This group of people was Li Yu who came to look for someone. They had already passed through several towns and villages along the way. They had already searched for it once, but now they were looking again, fearing that they might have missed important information.

Li Yu stared at the city gate for a moment, and suddenly his heart moved, and he nodded slightly.

Li Yu and his party led their horses into the town, and found a nearby inn that was seeing a booming business, to solve their food and clothing.

This town is not big, but it still takes some time to walk around.

Li Jia has been to this place once, so he is familiar with it.

After lunch, Li Jia introduced the situation here to Li Yu.

This town looks small, but there are more than a dozen villages below it, but there are only six villages near the branch of Huaihe River.

Last time they searched in a hurry and only found a few villages near the river. Now that they think about it, they should have searched all the villages. Maybe people from other villages came to rescue them.

Thinking of this, Li Jia felt even more ashamed.

He felt that he shouldn't make such a low-level mistake, and he was really ashamed of the Li family's cultivation of him.

After eating lunch, Li Yu rubbed his eyebrows with his fingertips for a while.

Although he didn't ride a fast horse, he used horses instead of walking after all. After sitting for a long time, Li Yu still felt a little tired.

Since having a child, he gets tired easily.

Now that his stomach is full, he wants to sleep.

Li Jia noticed Li Yu's expression, and said knowingly: "Third Young Master, this subordinate has already ordered someone to go to the house, why don't you take a rest? This subordinate will take someone to look for it first."

It is not a secret among them that the third son is already pregnant with the young master.

This is the first child of the next generation of the Li family, and the loyal guards like Li Jia are also very concerned about it.

Anyway, they couldn't finish walking through the nearby villages in half a day, so they would definitely spend the night in the town.

Li Jia has asked people to book several rooms.

Li Yu nodded without refusing.

Under the leadership of Li Jia, he went to the inn not far away to rest in his room.

There were only two people left at the door, and the others went out to look for people.

Li Jia and the others drew several pictures, which were the portraits of Ye Junshu, drawn by Li Yu himself.

Although Li Yu is more martial, but under the teaching of Empress Li, he is capable of both civil and military skills, and he is not a problem with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

A few simple black lines outline the charm of Ye Junshu's outline. Anyone who has seen Ye Junshu can think of this portrait when they see it.

In other words, as long as a person exists, there are always clues about the other person in this world.

Ye Junshu used to avoid people on purpose, and was not found in a short period of time. If he stayed longer, no matter how well he hid it, the villagers of Xiachuan Village would find out sooner or later.

What's more, when Ye Junshu appeared in the town, he deliberately circled the whole town twice. After all, he was a new face of the town, and many people noticed Ye Junshu's existence.

And although the person looks a bit downcast, but the temperament feels different, the whole person looks very energetic, with a handsome face.

Especially those brothers, it is rare to see such a good-looking man, how can they not take a few more glances?No, it wasn't long before Li Jia and the others asked someone on the street, and they asked for the news from a shopkeeper.

"I've seen the person you're looking for."

The store that Li Jia asked was the owner of the rice store, and Ye Junshu bought rice noodles here not long ago, so he naturally had an impression.

Li Jia asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure this is the person in the painting? When did you meet him? Where is it?" This is not the first person to say that he has seen Mr. Ye, but it is a pity that it is finally confirmed that he has identified the wrong person.

The store owner felt that he was insulted, so he raised his voice in an instant, and said loudly: "Of course it is impossible to admit your mistake, this is the person! His eyebrows and eyes are exactly like the ones in the painting, he is about 20 years old, and he is about this tall... I just saw it, no You may be wrong!"

The shopkeeper compared him to being almost a head taller than himself. The young man was handsome, and he was the tallest person he had ever seen. The shopkeeper was naturally impressed.

He described what he looked like in his memory, and Li Jia was instantly excited when he heard it.

That's right, this is Lord Ye!

He didn't mention Master Ye's personal information just now, if the shopkeeper hadn't seen it, it would be impossible to describe it so accurately.

He was extremely excited in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, "Where is the other person? Do you know?"

"I don't know. I just bought a few catties of rice noodles in the store this morning. Maybe I'm still in the town, or maybe I've already left."

The shopkeeper didn't talk nonsense either, he told the truth.

He didn't know the other party, so he didn't know where the other party lived.

"When did he buy rice noodles here?" Li Jia asked.

The shopkeeper recalled it, and replied: "It's time."

When Li Jia heard the time, there was only a few hours difference before and after, maybe they were in the same place.

However, he didn't immediately go to the street to inquire, but to learn more about other information.

Li Jia stuffed a coin into the shopkeeper, "Thank you shopkeeper for letting me know, please ask the shopkeeper to repeat what our young master said at that time, maybe there is some missing information."

"This is the son of our family who accidentally fell into the flood some time ago. We searched for a long time, and finally found some news. Please help us find someone from the store."

When the shop owner heard that they were not looking for revenge, they were naturally more enthusiastic. They also heard about the fact that a flood had caused the separation of many families and wives. During this time, several groups of people have come to inquire about the news.

In addition, the other party gave a piece of silver, even if he owns a rice and grain store and his family has a small amount of money, no one thinks that the free money is not too little.

The shopkeeper tried his best to recall their conversation at that time, and he said everything he could remember. If he couldn't remember clearly, he described it in his own language according to his vague memory.

"That's all I remember."

Li Jia said gratefully: "Thank you for letting me know, when we find the young master, we will definitely thank you a lot!"

After Li Jia thanked the shopkeeper, he turned around and left quickly.

The shopkeeper returned to the shop after watching the person walk away. He rubbed the back of his head and felt that he had forgotten something. After a while, he clapped his hands suddenly and said, "I forgot to mention something just now!"

He sighed a few times, but it was a pity that the person had gone far away at this time, and it was impossible for the store owner to leave the store to find someone to explain.

At this time, an unattractive strange man walked in, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Shopkeeper, what you just said..."

Before the shopkeeper had finished listening to the other party, he asked again and again: "Are you asking about your son?"

The strange man paused and nodded.

"Hey, just right, I forgot to mention a piece of information just now, your young master is accompanied by a thin child, about nine years old, looks like a child from a nearby village."

Only the poorer farmers in the village have such dark and thin children, who look like they have not had enough to eat for a long time.

The strange man smiled and said gratefully, "Thank you for letting me know."

Then he turned around and left quickly.

The storekeeper watched the people leave, and felt that he had done his best. Holding the ingot of silver in his hand, he felt more at ease, and then entertained the coming guests with a smile on his face——

"What does this guest need..."

Li Jia and his party scattered around the street and asked around. Among the ten people, two or three had an impression, which meant that Ye Junshu had really appeared here.

Finally asked, Ye Junshu left the city at noon.

When I came with them, it was less than an hour before and after.

This is really good news!

This is the first time they have received such definite news after so many days.

Although they haven't found anyone yet, this news let them know that Master Ye is really not dead.And now that they are so close, I believe finding someone is just around the corner!

Li Jia returned to the inn, and the two people left behind were still waiting at the door, he asked: "Is the young master up yet?"

The two shook their heads.

Li Jia didn't want to disturb at first, but if he didn't report such important news in time, the young master would definitely blame him when he knew it.

So he knocked on the door and called a few times: "Master?"

Not long after, Li Yu opened the door.

As soon as Li Jia saw Li Yu, he immediately said, "My lord, there is news!"

Li Yu's eyes, which were still a little sleepy, sobered up instantly.
