The dead enemy in the previous life gave me joy

Chu Chu closed her eyes in despair, ready to endure the unbearable pain.

The feeling of weightlessness made him feel sick. At the critical moment, he felt his back was firmly caught, and with a push, several of them fell back to the ground with force.

He opened his eyes, the man was wearing silver silk soft armor, with a thin brown shirt covering his head.

Chu Chu said, "Brother Mingsheng, is that you?"

The person named Ming Sheng looked into the eyes of the person in his arms, paused slightly, and then turned his gaze to another place.

Gu Zhai, who was called Chu Chu at the bottom of the city tower, had already chased to the outside of the city gate, but he saw two people embracing each other from a distance, and the man in red was being hugged intimately by another man.

After running for a few steps, he finally saw the man's face clearly, it wasn't him, and a sense of loss welled up in his heart.He said viciously: "How could it be you? What are you doing here?"

Chu Chu was still panicked, and was afraid that Gu Zhai would notice something, so he kept silent.

Instead, the man beside him pulled him behind him, and was the first to speak out for him: "Xiayi, a tea merchant, has traveled around all the year round. I was just about to enter the city when I saw this young master accidentally fall from the tower. caught him just in time."

Gu Zhai gave Xia Yi a simple fist-clenching salute, without further words.

Chu Chu calmed down, and bowed deeply to Xia Yi, "It was thanks to Mr. Xia just now, otherwise Chu would have died in Huangquan, and there is no way to repay him. I would like to thank you in person for saving my life. There is a restaurant in the east of the city, Mr. Xia must show you his face."

Chu Chu knew that Xia Yi probably recognized him, but it was because Gu Zhai was here, and his invitation to Xia Yi in person gave them a good chance to get away and get along, but Gu Zhai did not leave for a long time, Chu Chu He had no choice but to pretend to be polite and invite Gu Zhai as well.

Ever since Gu Zhai chased him out of the city, his eyes had never left Chu Chu. The figure from his back was so similar to the person in his memory. Sitting on the top of the city, it seemed that the person had been reborn.

He knew it was almost impossible, but he still chased him out of the city, even if he would be disappointed, he would not hesitate!Well, now he is disappointed and desperate, anyone could be him, but this person is absolutely impossible!How could a romantic young man relying on his own family background be the pride of heaven, let alone a sick man!

With eyes full of disappointment and frustration, Gu Zhai turned his head and left, never paying attention to the two of them again.

Seeing Gu Zhai's back entering the city, Chu Chu was about to explain something to Xia Yi, but Xia Yi stopped him. Xia Yi got on his horse and stretched out his hand to Chu Chu, saying: "This is not a place to talk, get on the horse, I will take you You go elsewhere."

The horse carrying the two of them came in through the city gate, ran to nowhere, and galloped past Gu Zhai. Filled with disappointment, Gu Zhai looked up, as if he felt that something had slipped away from him. , and he didn't catch it.

The horse turned around in the wind and sand and finally turned into the backyard of a shop, Xia Ji Tea Shop, of course Chu Chu recognized this place, there is no place in Ningcheng that he didn't know, this tea shop must be Xia Yi's family industry.

Xia Yi rolled over and got off the horse, and put her hands on Chu Chu to protect her from the horse.

Chu Chu followed him from the backyard into a private room in the back house of the shop. This room is very elegantly furnished, without the vulgarity of merchants. The wall paint color of the room is as small as the color of the wall paint in the room, and all the ornaments on the dark compartment are all brown in color. .

"Brother Mingsheng didn't ask me a word, and brought me to such a private place, so you can rest assured of an outsider you just met?" Chu Chu wandered around the room for a long time, admiring the furnishings in the room.

"No, it's not so easy to trust an outsider. I trust someone who will call me 'Brother Ming Sheng'." Xia Yi looked at him.

Chu Chu's thoughts are flying, remembering that when he was Tao Jiang in his last life, his parents died early, and he was a miserable wandering child. At first, he could always get food from kind people, so he survived; later, the natural disasters in Ling Kingdom became more and more More and more, the environment is getting worse every year, and the lives of the people are difficult. That year was a severe winter that had never been seen, and it was even more difficult for a beggar like him. He has not begged for a long time. A grain of rice, until that day, he finally knocked on a door, it was a little boy wearing a brown round collar, who looked a year or two older than him.

The boy's clothes were clean and tidy, and his eyes were so clear that he didn't dare to stretch out his dirty little hands like he used to beg for food, but said tremblingly: "Brother, please give me something to eat, I'm about to be hungry died."

The boy's bright eyeballs rolled and rolled, and he ran towards the door. After a while, he handed him a cloth wrap with two pieces of plum cakes that were not fresh, and handed him a water bag.

The boy said: "It's past dinner time now, and our family doesn't have anything else to eat. We only have these two pieces of plum cakes. I'll eat them first, and you can come back tomorrow afternoon."

He couldn't remember the taste of that plum cake, but in retrospect he still thought it was the best thing he had ever eaten.The next day he was on time and went to the shop. This time the little boy gave him half a bowl of porridge, and every day after that, the boy would deliberately steal the remaining half to give him.

The boy was born in a generation of tea merchants, and his parents have been doing business all year round. Although the state of Ling is in decline, only the merchants are rich. Family, the boy always finds an opportunity to sneak out of the house after every class, because he knows that the little beggar must be near his house, and then dances and repeats to him what he was taught in the teacher class, teaching him to recognize and practice characters .

Tao Jiang will always remember that the little brother who cleanly gave him a meal told him: "Little beggar, my name is Xia Yi, and the small character is Ming Sheng. This small character is given to me by my master, and no one else will." I know, I just tell you, if you can’t remember it, just memorize a "Poem of Four Qi." The boy imitated his master and turned his little head and read: "Heng is like a spring flower, and no catalpa is like a summer shade. .The sound of the sheng blows the autumn wind, and the wine flies in the winter snow.”【1】

From then on, every time he saw him again, Tao Jiang would happily call him "Brother Mingsheng".

It's a pity that the Ling Kingdom is declining more and more, and many surrounding countries are eyeing it. Xia Yi's parents are worried that if their son stays in the Ling Kingdom, there may be troubles, so they plan to take Xia Yi to their country.

Xia Yi, who was already a young boy at that time, showed Tao Jiang a clear path, saying that there was a fear of a war in the Ling Kingdom, and the Lord would definitely recruit soldiers again, and he could try it at that time, at least in the army, he would be guaranteed to eat well. Be full and dress warmly.

After he left, the Xiaji shop was still there, and he had greeted the shopkeeper. If Tao Jiang had any difficulties, he could come to the shopkeeper, and if he wanted to write to him, he could also entrust the letter to the shopkeeper.

In the second year after Xia Yi left, the lord of the country recruited soldiers as expected, and Tao Jiang also signed up, but the recruiter looked down on such a thin little beggar, and kicked him out several times. Tao Jiang was not discouraged. Just wrapped around Bingtou, and Bingtou got tired of being entangled, so he took him in, turned around and threw him to Huotouying. Tao Jiang didn't care where he was, as long as he had a mouthful of food and a place to live, he could be anywhere Well, Huotouying is better, it is the place he has wanted to stay for eight lifetimes, he has only seen so much food in his dreams of hunger and cold, such as delicacies from mountains and seas, like a full banquet.

"What are you thinking about? Could it be that he fell off the top of the wall and fell stupid." Xia Yi stretched out his hand to draw in front of his eyes, calling back the person who was distracted in front of him.

"I just saw the decorations in the tea shop, and I remembered my childhood for a moment. I didn't expect to see you and me again, but it has been a lifetime."

Chu Chu pursed his lips, picked out Xia Yi's favorite tea cake in the dustpan, and started to steep it. He first crushed the tea cake, and when it was crushed, he put it in a teacup and poured some boiling water over it.

His technique is very unique, first inject a small amount of boiling water to make the powder into a paste, then measure the tea to inject the soup, and beat it with a tea cage while pouring. 【2】

"Are you really Little Jianger?" Looking at his familiar operation, Xia Yi was 100% sure that it was the tea making technique he taught him, but she was also full of curiosity.

"I really do, although I don't know how to explain it to you." After testing the temperature, he held the small porcelain cup forward and handed it to Xia Yipin.

Xia Yi first put it under his nose and sniffed the fragrance of the tea lightly, then took a sip, feeling that the temperature was right and his lips and teeth were fragrant, he said: "Good tea, and the way of making tea is also very good, as expected of my teacher." Apprentice who came out."

"Master praises others, and he even praises himself." Chu Chu was also happy.

Xia Yi was sipping the tea made by Chu Chu, but his voice was choked with sobs: "Do you know why I came to Ling Kingdom at this time?"

"If my guess is correct, it was Xiao Hua who gave you the news, but I don't quite understand why you are dressed like this." Chu Chu also poured herself a glass, and said while drinking.

Xia Yi turned his back to Chu Chu at this moment, and Chu Chu couldn't see his expression clearly. He looked down and knew that Chu Chu had noticed the thin silver armor wrapped in his clothes. After thinking for a while, he said: " Now that the world is not peaceful, since I, a businessman, have found such a good thing, I will naturally make the best use of it, and take precautions. If you like it, I will find a gold thread next time and give it to you. You will be safe with this thing point."

Chu Chu waved his hands again and again. Now he is no longer a general on the battlefield. Since he does not face the fight directly, no matter how good the soft armor is, it is useless to him, not to mention that there are people around him protecting him.

Xia Yi turned around and said: "Although I have often corresponded with you all these years, I can't compare to Chai Lian who is always close to you by your side. I am worried that he misses you too much and will be used by someone who has a heart, so he can't tell the truth from the fake. I don't allow anyone to act recklessly in your name, so I'm coming to Panning soon." He stared at Chu Chu drinking tea, "You know what, I was still hesitating when I came, I was afraid that I would find out in the end It's not you, but I'm not reconciled if I don't take a look, I never thought it was really you, I'm glad God returned you."

Chu Chu also murmured: "Yeah, I'm glad God brought me back." Let me finish all the unfinished things, he didn't finish talking.

"I originally thought that I would pay homage to your tomb when I came back this time, but now that you're back, I don't have to go anymore," Xia Yi said.

Chu Chu asked, "My grave?"

Xia Yi nodded and said, "At that time, Chuanling was still fighting, but the famous General Weng Shu died suddenly. General Chai didn't know what to do, but he knew that the news must not be let to the enemy. Very good, so I privately entrusted your 'original body' to me for burial, and I decided to bury you in the 'Caotang Temple' privately."

Chu Chu said in relief: "So that's where it is, that's good too. Fortunately, the evening drum and the morning bell are always with me."

Xia Yi said regretfully: "Now that you have come to the Ling Kingdom, you should go and see it. It can be regarded as an end to the past, but... the news that Weng Shu passed away was known to everyone in the Ling Kingdom a while ago, and the king must have passed away Weng Shu. The location of the general's tomb is made public, I am afraid that it will bring trouble to you, so I can't accompany you there now."

Chu Chu said: "It's okay, it's more appropriate for me to go and return quietly alone."

The current him doesn't want to involve his predecessors in right and wrong anymore, he just hopes that they will all escape from the hustle and bustle with Tao Wengshu's passing away.

The author has something to say: [1] It comes from Wang Wei's "Poetry of Four Qi" in the Song Dynasty of the Southern Dynasties.

[2] The description of the tea ordering technique refers to the historical Song Dynasty tea ordering process, and the textual research is declined.
