I opened a restaurant in ancient times

On summer nights, there are always bursts of cicadas chirping around, which is annoying.

It was already dark at this time, only a few faint lights not far away.

Zhao Heng took the candle and walked out the door. Jiang Yuan was still outside the door by himself, but he couldn't be made to wait for too long, after all, it was pitch black outside and there was no one there.

Just lit the candle and opened the door to see, under the yellowish candlelight, Jiang Yuan was holding the small tree at the door. Although the wound on his body was not big, the bruised area still hurt a little.

But now this level of pain is still tolerable, the pain when I just fell is called grinding.

The most important thing now is to go home quickly and treat the wound with some herbs, otherwise it will be bad if something else happens.

Zhao Heng was worried about his knee, so he reached out to support Jiang Yuan's arm.Jiang Yuan refused a little, not wanting him to help him.However, Zhao Heng believed that the time had come and he should not continue to waste time.

For one thing, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother were still waiting for him to go back at home. They would definitely be worried if they went back so late.Secondly, it was already so dark, if someone suddenly came out from around, it would be very clear that he and Jiang Yuan were still here.

It was not suitable after all, so he ignored Jiang Yuan's refusal, still held his arm with his hand, and said in a low voice: "It's already so late, I'll hold you by the arm, and hurry up to send you back Otherwise, Uncle Jiang and Auntie will definitely be worried."

Hearing this sentence, Jiang Yuan didn't refuse any more. He really wanted to go home quickly in his heart. Since he was a child, he was still with a young man. Thinking of this, his cheeks became hot.

Let Zhao Heng support him. After all, we have known each other for such a long time. Zhao Heng is not a bad person with bad intentions. Except for a few things that troubled others when he came to Dahe Village at the beginning, he has been taking care of other people's homes since then. up.

Thinking eyes, staring carefully at the dirt road in front of him, taking advantage of the faint light of the candle, he limped towards his home at the foot of the mountain.

He couldn't ignore the warm palms on his arms, Jiang Yuan could only try his best to divert his attention, and the pace on his feet quickened a little.

"Slow down, don't your legs hurt?"

Jiang Yuan then slowed down a bit: "Oh..."

When they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, they passed the gate of a house, and saw that the lights in the house had been extinguished, and they seemed to be going to sleep.

Both of them lowered their voices tacitly, not intending to disturb others.Just as he was about to pass, the oil lamp was lit again, revealing a hint of warm yellow in the dark night.A middle-aged man coughed, opened the door and came out.

Zhao Heng quickly covered the candle in his hand, preventing others from seeing the light and noticing them.Just when the two were inexplicably nervous, they heard the sound of splashing water again.

Probably poured the unfinished water on the ground, and came out again because of this.

When the middle-aged man finally re-entered the room, the two were inexplicably relieved, and there was a little embarrassment in the eyes they looked at each other.

The two of them didn't know what to say at this time, and in the end it was Zhao Heng who spoke first: "Let's go, I'm delaying your return today because of my errands, and I'll make up for it when I calculate your wages tomorrow."

This matter was not in the scope of Jiang Yuan's work. At first, it was just because Zhao Heng wanted someone to go with him.

There are only a few people he knows well in the village and town, one is Zhang Qiao and the other is Chen Xiaoniu, and he doesn't know much else.

Originally, I asked Jiang Yuan to go with him to look at the goods at the merchants at the wharf. What I saw was that the two had known each other for such a long time. It can be said that they had known each other since he came to Dahe Village.

They are also familiar with each other, and Jiang Yuan can do some arithmetic, which is also helpful for his business.

"No need, I got so much wages a few days ago, it's enough." Jiang Yuan felt that no matter in the town or in the village, few people were willing to hire a little brother as a helper. He was willing to let himself go to him before. Doing work at the stall has already helped my family a lot.

It's just that I just helped others casually at the beginning, and I got such a good job for nothing, which is something most people dare not even think about.

Although few people in the village and town are too poor to afford food, it is not easy for a young brother to find a job. Zhao Hengneng is willing to let him help and pay such a good salary. He is already very happy.

"Hey, I'm not good at talking about today's matter. It made you come home so late, which caused you to fall and knock yourself down. I'll pay you more tomorrow. You can't refuse this matter!"

Even if he took the money to see the injured place, in the final analysis, he still blamed himself for what happened. He had to let Jiang Yuan go with him. If he went alone, this would not have happened.

After thinking about it, Zhao Heng said again: "Forget it, you can rest at home for a while tomorrow, you just knocked your leg, and I will count your wages for you when you come back again."

Jiang Yuansi was going to be a disservice, so he responded in a low voice, "I should be fine the day after tomorrow, just scratched the skin, and it won't hinder me from going to work."

"Well, good." Zhao Heng smiled helplessly, and promised him to go the day after tomorrow.

While the two were talking, they were almost at Jiang Yuan's house.When they were some distance away, they saw a light at the door of Jiang Yuan's house.

It was Apa Jiang and Aunt Jiang who were waiting for him to go back. They were worried because it was too late, so they discussed and came out to greet him. Unexpectedly, they saw two figures as soon as they went out.

The slightly shorter one seemed to be limping, and another person was supporting him.Seeing this, Apa Jiang and Aunt Jiang hurried forward to take a few steps.

The lights reflected the faces of the two of them. Father Jiang and Aunt Jiang saw their elder brother Yuan limping along, so they didn't bother to see Zhao Heng holding his younger brother's hand.

I just hurriedly took Zhao Heng's arm from his hand, and asked anxiously: "Brother Yuan? What's the matter, where did you fall?"

"It's okay, just scratched the skin, it will be fine in two days." Jiang Yuan's knee was still burning, but he didn't want to worry his parents, so he just said it lightly.

Father Jiang said, "How did you fall?"

Jiang Yuan quickly explained: "When I was at the intersection, I didn't see my feet, it's nothing. I'm a young man and I'll be fine in a few days, don't worry!"

"Uncle Jiang, Auntie, Brother Yuan was injured..."

Before he could finish speaking, Aunt Jiang interrupted him: "It's not your fault." After all, if you paid others to do the work, you should follow the boss to do the work.
