I deliver the courier at the end of Qin

The young boy grabbed the cake without any explanation, Xu Qin quickly stood up, protecting the cake from him.

Kunpeng suggested in Xu Qin's mind: "I tested this kid just now. He has practiced some martial arts. You should not be able to beat him."

The boy looks less than 1.7 meters tall, and Xu Qin is 177cm tall, half a head taller than the boy.

Xu Qin was unconvinced: "He is just a junior high school student, much shorter than me, with small arms and legs, why can't I beat him?"

"But he has practiced."

As soon as Kunpeng finished speaking, the young man gained the upper hand in the fight with Xu Qin. He jumped up a little and forcibly broke off half of the cake that Xu Qin was holding high, and retreated to the side to eat it with a big mouthful. up.

Xu Qin: "Kunpeng, you are really a crow's mouth."

Kunpeng: "I am Kunpeng, not a crow, are you stupid?"

Xu Qin: "..."

He also stopped arguing with Kunpeng, but looked at the young man who was eating with gusto: "You kid is really unreasonable, just grab my cake when you come up."

"Didn't I say four yuan to buy your cake?" The young man ate quickly, wiped the cake crumbs from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, walked over with a smile, and stuffed four half-two copper coins with square holes into Xu Qin's palm , "Don't worry, I never eat on credit."

Yes, you don't pay on credit, you just buy and sell by force.Xu Qin complained in his heart, but he was too embarrassed to argue with the middle school boy who was ten years younger than himself, so he took the other party's money, filled his stomach with the rest of the cake, and decided he was unlucky and planned to find a place to stay The place.

Unexpectedly, the young man followed from behind, and asked curiously: "Hey, I've never seen you in this area, are you a foreigner?"

"Yes." Xu Qin didn't want to say more, and started to leave.

"Don't be angry." The young man pulled Xu Qin's sleeve from behind, and said in a muffled voice, "I didn't mean to grab your pancakes on purpose, but I have never smelled such delicious pancakes since I was a child, and I just got hungry."

Xu Qin turned around, and the young man raised his head to look at him. Only then did Xu Qin notice that the young man's complexion was fair, and under the moonlight, the two rows of long and slightly curled eyelashes were like a small fan.

Xu Qin's heart softened. In modern times, he could eat a lot of delicacies from mountains and seas when he ordered a Meituan takeaway on Tmall, but in this era, children are still greedy for a piece of mutton pie with better meat quality: "Oh, it's just Half a piece of cake? Eat it as soon as you eat it, I said, why are you following me..."

The young man changed his face in an instant, laughed happily, walked around in front of Xu Qin, looked at his face and boasted: "I knew that you are a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person, I just need to pretend to be pitiful, and you stop and listen to me gone."

Oh, can you be broken by a bull?Xu Qin was almost speechless: "Hurry up if you have anything to say, I'm in a hurry to find a place to stay."

The young man said sincerely: "The families we live here are relatively poor. I'm afraid there is no extra room for you to sleep in. However, my father has been traveling for many years, and there is still an empty couch. If you don't think my house is small, you can come to live in my house." Well, if I don’t take your money, I’ll make an apology for stealing your cake.”

"You are so kind to take me in?" Xu Qin was a little flattered by the fact that there was a pie in the sky.

"Well, because you fit my eyes and are good-looking." The young man looked at Xu Qin with an expression of a little adult and nodded slightly, "I think he is the most beautiful man I have ever seen besides my own father."

"I haven't seen anyone who compares his own adults to praise others." Xu Qin asked rather curiously, "Is the king of Yan Jun a fairy?"

The boy smiled without saying a word, and walked briskly ahead.

Later, Xu Qin, who knew the truth, realized that the other party's father really looked like a fairy.

The boy led Xu Qin into a narrow alley, and stopped at the door of a family backed by the outer city wall of Yangwu County. This family was so poor that they didn't even have a wooden door, and a broken mat was hung at the door.

A little boy and a maidservant were chasing and playing on the muddy ground outside, when they saw the boy, they stopped and called out, "Brother Cong is here."

The young man touched their heads, lifted the curtain, and let Xu Qin in first: "This is my home."

There was only one stone lamp lit in the dimly lit room, and there was a middle-aged couple in the room. When the woman saw the boy, she quickly grabbed his arm and shouted, "Amai, where did you go again? Don't tell me the meal is ready?" No one was there."

"Mother, please be gentle." The boy said, "I also brought a guest back."

As soon as the woman raised her head, she saw Xu Qin, who was handsome and luxuriously dressed.Xu Qin's clothes were changed at the Fusu Mansion. The other party brought out the clothes for the guests in order to entertain the guests. The materials and tailoring were all exquisite. There were silver moiré patterns on the light blue sleeves. A small sapphire phoenix-shaped pendant hangs from her waist.

"Hey, honored guest." The woman hurriedly took out the only seat in the room and dusted it off, and smiled embarrassedly, "Since my second brother went out for a wandering tour, the family hasn't entertained guests for a long time, how dare I ask you his honorable name?"

Xu Qin bowed to the two of them: "Madam Youlao, my servant Xu Qin, a person from Wen County, Hanoi, passed by Yangwu County, saw the city gate was closed, so he had to stay outside the city, I don't know what this place is..."

"Our place is called Huzhou Township. My name is Chen Mai. This is my mother-in-law Zheng Ru, and the man over there is my father-in-law Chen Bo." The boy named Chen Mai began to introduce Xu Qin.

Zheng Ru pushed Chen Mai: "Hurry up and pour water for the guests."

After speaking, he looked at Xu Qin and said, "This child's close relatives are often not at home, and Chen Bo and I are usually taking care of it."

While talking, Chen Mai had already poured a bowl of water and handed it to Xu Qin: "It's warm, not hot, you drink it first, and I'll ask my mother to cook for you."

It turned out that it was a little late for Chen Mai to go wild outside, and the family had already eaten, and they were too embarrassed to let the guests eat cold food, so Zheng Ru reboiled the water in the pot and cooked for Xu Qin and Chen Mai respectively. A bowl of mustard green noodles.

At that time, although there were very few seasonings, the noodles themselves were chewy, and a layer of finely chopped green onion and minced meat was sprinkled on top, paired with freshly harvested mustard greens, which tasted very good.

Xu Qin eats a lot, and the ancients didn't eat three meals a day like the modern ones. Ordinary people basically only eat two meals a day. If they ate early in Fusu, they would have digested it early.That's why just half a pancake didn't care about being full at all, but now after eating a bowl of hot noodle soup, Xu Qin just felt his stomach is comfortable.

In ancient times, common people didn't have many recreational activities at night, and it was dark outside, so they usually went to bed early.Chen Mai's father's small room has not been lived in for a long time, and it is covered with dust. Zheng Ru still needs to spend some time tidying it up.

At this time, two little boys from the Chen family, one named Su and the other named Xing, pestered them with Brother Cong saying that he was going out to catch fireflies. Xu Qin happened to be digesting after a meal, so he went out with Chen Mai.

The alley was really dark, but the children had grown up playing in this narrow alley, so they had no problem running around.It's just that when Xu Qin followed, he had to watch out for the bamboo pole protruding from nowhere, and the clothes that some careless daughter-in-law forgot to take back to dry on it.

A lot of weeds grew on both sides of the yellow dirt road. The farther away from the city wall, the sparser the surrounding houses and the more desolate the scenery.

Walking to a small sparkling river, the children rushed down the gentle slope with a cheer, startling countless faint green light spots.

"Wow, there are so many fireflies here." A Xing rode on Chen Mai's shoulder, and happily stretched out her small hand to grab the green dot closest to her.

Seeing the children catching them with bare hands, Xu Qin couldn't help but said to Chen Mai, "Can you find me a small straight stick?"

"What?" Chen Mai asked curiously.

Xu Qin smiled slightly: "Of course it is to make you a cloth pocket that can catch many fireflies at once."

He was well prepared and hid some tools that might be used to catch fireflies in his sleeves before he set off. He quickly tied a cloth bag and tied it to a discarded flat bamboo piece that Chen Mai found.

By waving the cloth pocket in this way, many fireflies can be caught in the net at once.

"Brother is awesome!" Asu and Axing clapped and jumped together, very excited.

Xu Qin took out a hand-sized small glazed gourd bottle from his sleeve like a magic trick, and put the fireflies caught in the net into it.The glass bottle was one of the gifts Fusu gave him. Although it was still a rare thing in the Qin Dynasty, for Xu Qin from modern times, it was just a glass bottle with a slightly rough texture and impurities.

Since Chen Mai kindly took him in for the night, Xu Qin gave the bottle to Chen's family, so that the children could play with it.

After the fireflies entered the glass bottle, the bottle seemed to be glowing at night, emitting a mysterious and soft green light in Xu Qin's hand.

A burst of exclamation broke the tranquility of the night in Hutiao Township. On the second floor of a building in Linhe, a woman's profile was projected on the lit window. She seemed to be dressing in the mirror, but there was an extra pair of ears on her head. .

Along with the screams of the family and the sound of footsteps came one after another, there was also the cry of "Woooooooo" from the second floor, echoing in the wilderness, it was extremely terrifying.

Xu Qin carefully identified it for a while. The sound that sounds like a cat is not a cat, or a dog is not a dog. It seems to be the barking of a fox, right?

"Brother Cong, I'm afraid." A Xing leaned against Chen Mai tremblingly, and a gust of night wind rustled the reeds by the river, making her hold on to her sleeve even more and refused to let it go.

"It's the butcher Lu's family who are making foxes again?" Chen Mai frowned and comforted his little sister, "Don't be afraid, let's find out."
