He was at a loss at first, and then suddenly remembered what happened before, thinking that he was completely naked, and quickly locked himself up, but found that he was wearing a sackcloth at some point, but other than that, his other things were gone.

Hengwu's bamboo whistle was gone.

Ji He stood up from the ground with a panicked expression on his face, and the people around him all showed panicked expressions when they saw him get up, and took a big step back suddenly.

With this retreat, Ji He finally saw clearly that he was in a completely strange place right now.

His eyes widened at once.

If he remembered correctly, he was besieged by refugees at the gate of the city before, and everything was robbed.

But how did he appear here?

Just when Ji He couldn't figure it out, the crowd of onlookers suddenly separated, and a tall man came out from the outside. After seeing Ji He, he frowned and said, "Boy, you are standing at the door of my noodle shop." What are you doing?"

"Me?" Only then did Ji He realize that there was a noodle shop behind him, and those onlookers should be people who were going to have breakfast.

He hurriedly stepped aside.

Unexpectedly, the big man did not go to open the door, but walked in front of him, slapped him on the shoulder, and said, "Boy, I heard that you wandered here?"

"Yes, yes... I..." Ji He wanted to explain what happened to him before, but when he thought of the hideous faces of those refugees, he finally swallowed all what he wanted to say.

Looking at the appearance of Ji and Wei Nuo Nuo, the big man smiled: "I happen to be short of a handyman in the noodle shop, would you like to stay?"

Ji He wanted to refuse, hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.

Heng Wu is not around, he needs some time to find him, staying in the noodle shop is the best choice at present.

It's just that Ji He didn't expect that he would stay here for eight years.

Eight years is enough for him to grow from a boy to a teenager.

It's just that he always felt that this process seemed familiar, as if a long time ago, he also grew up with someone else in this way.

The town Ji He left behind is called Lijiabu, and the owner of the noodle shop who took him in is also surnamed Li, with a single name of Cai.

Go out from the back door of the noodle shop, walk two streets, and come to a river next to Lijiabu. Ji He chose a secluded place, took off his dirty clothes, and went into the water to take a bath.

The river water in March was still slightly cold, pouring on his arms, causing goosebumps, but Ji He seemed not to feel it, and washed himself clean without changing his face.

Before going down the river, Ji He was dark and thin, but after washing off the dirt on his body, he found that his skin was actually very fair, his eyebrows were exquisite, and he didn't look like a running girl at all.

He pretended to be like this on purpose, because he discovered a long time ago that Li Cai, the owner of the noodle shop, did not take him in out of kindness. He is a very selfish miser, but he has a very deadly and perverted hobby.

He likes young people of fifteen or sixteen.

It is the kind of liking with desire.

So in order to protect himself, Ji He painted his face black since he was ten years old.

I don't know if he pretended to be too ugly to attract Li Cai's attention, or Li Cai didn't get his mind on him for the time being. Ji He is still safe these years.

After washing off the dirt on his body, Ji He went ashore. He had no change of clothes, so he could only put on the previous clothes, and then took out a bag of pot bottom ash from his pocket with ease, and was about to put it on his face. Mo, but suddenly heard a sneer from the side: "I said that you were so beautiful when you were young, but why did you grow and become more disabled later, so you are fooling me here!"

Ji He's heart broke, and he ran in another direction without looking back, but he was no match for Li Cai. He just ran two steps away when his arm was grabbed by a big greasy hand. Ji He turned back in horror See Li Cai has come behind him!

"Let me go!" Ji He put his other hand on Li Cai's finger, intending to escape, but Li Cailian's other hand tightly grasped it!

Ji He's heart rose instantly, he had no choice but to turn his head and bite Li Cai's wrist!Li Cai suffered a lot and finally let Ji He go.

Ji He took several steps back and stared at Li Cai vigilantly: "What are you going to do?"

Hearing what he said, Li Cai smiled: "Boy, didn't you know it a long time ago? Why pretend that you don't know anything."

A flash of panic flashed in Ji He's eyes: "I don't know what you said, I'm going back to the noodle shop."

"Want to run?" Li Cai suddenly took a step forward and grabbed Ji He's wrist again. The slippery touch made Ji He shudder suddenly. He turned around and kicked Li Cai's waist hard!

Unprepared, Li Cai was caught upright, and his face turned red. He covered the important part of his kick and bent down, but his eyes were still fixed on Ji He, and he gritted his teeth and said: " If you dare to beat me, I will beat you to death after I go back!"

Ji He has grown up in the noodle shop and has been beaten by Li Cai since he was a child. He never thought that he would be able to resist Li Cai one day. Hearing Li Cai's threats, he couldn't help panicking.

Seeing his flustered expression, Li Cai's blushing face showed an indistinct smugness.

Sooner or later, this kid will be his!

Ji He couldn't understand Li Cai's eyes, but he intuitively sensed the danger. Instead of staying any longer, he turned around and left the small river!

He is not stupid!Knowing that he beat Li Cai, Li Cai will definitely not give him good fruit to eat!

After thinking about it, Ji He felt that he couldn't stay in the noodle shop any longer, so he decided to leave this place!

The agreement he made with a certain ghost when he was young has become blurred with time. He has no reason to stay in this place. It is the best choice to leave when he is in danger. After all, he has grown up now. big.

After being threatened by Li Cai, the 16-year-old half-grown child quickly rushed back to his room in the noodle shop, packed up a few clothes, and prepared to take them on the road.

It wasn't that he didn't want to take other things, but that Li Cai never gave him money. In the noodle shop, even the rice was left over by the customers, so they couldn't continue to sell it.

He hurried out of the noodle shop with the only things he had. After walking two streets, he accidentally passed a pawn shop. OK, and then I saw the shopkeeper of the pawn shop holding something and cleaning it.

Small and shiny, it was the bamboo whistle that he lost when he was eight years old.

Ji He was taken aback, and the dusty memories in his mind flooded out, the frontier town, the parents who left him behind, the ghost general who rescued him, and his story.

He promised Heng Wu that he would take him to Changping.

Ji He's footsteps stopped suddenly, he hesitated for a moment, and finally gave up on going out of the city, but took a step forward, came to the door of the boss's shop, and asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, what is this bamboo whistle in your hand?"

Hearing the sound, the boss looked up and found that it was a dirty young man. He didn't care, waved his hand, and said, "It's from my store. Do you want to buy it? Twenty copper coins."
