Time Traveling: The Man and Wife Heads the House

The boss gritted his teeth and said after a long time, "Yes, it's a man named Zhang Qing."

The knife in Zhang Chi's hand almost fell to the ground.Zhang Qing?Does he hate himself that much?Want to kill yourself?

Zhang Chi closed his eyes, and when he opened them, his eyes became more and more fierce, "What you said is true?"

The boss gritted his teeth and insisted, "Of course, why should I lie to you?"

"How much did he pay you?"

"He gave us ten taels of silver first, and said that he would give us another ten taels of silver after the matter is completed."

"Are you bandits here?"

"Yes..."

The boss just wanted to admit it. Facing Zhang Chi's eyes that seemed to see through everything, he changed his words again, "No, no. We were originally gangsters from Chunzhou, and it was Zhang Qing who gave us money and told us that you would pass by here. The three of us are here waiting for you."

Zhang Chi raised his eyebrows, and pressed down the knife in his hand, and the third child yelled "Ouch, Ouch" again.

The boss took a step forward and yelled: "Didn't you say that I told you who was the mastermind and you let him go? You don't mean what you say?"

"You said Zhang Qing was looking for you. As far as I know, he has never been out of Gucheng Town. How did he know you? Where did he get so much money? If you don't tell the truth, how can I let him go? ?”

Zhang Chi's series of questions made the boss's hand holding the knife tremble slightly.He didn't expect that Zhang Chi still had the time to think at this critical moment.

"How do I, how do I know where his money comes from? We just work for money."

"Really?" Zhang Chi smiled lightly, "It seems that you are not sincere, so what I said can be ignored!"

After Zhang Chi finished speaking, he grabbed the third child with one hand and raised the knife with the other.

The third child was so frightened that he yelled again and again: "Brother, just tell the truth! Brother! I still have my mother and children at home!"

The eldest brother looked at the third child, and the fierceness that flashed in his eyes disappeared immediately.

"Okay, let me say!" He seemed to have made up his mind before he said, "We don't know Zhang Qing, he came to us with a letter from Tao Zixing, the owner of Pinmingzhai, and asked us to wait for you on this road."

"Zhang Qing, Pinmingzhai? He, does he hate me that much? He actually wants me to die?"

Zhang Chi couldn't believe it, but he knew that this was almost the truth.

He directed at the old road: "Throw the knives over here!"

"why..."

The boss wanted to resist, but saw that Zhang Chi's eyes were more fierce than before, as if he was about to pounce on him in the next second.

He glanced at the second child, obediently threw the knife at Zhang Chi's feet.

Zhang Chi said in a deep voice: "Xihe, come here and pick up the knife!"

"Oh."

Gu Xihe stepped forward, picked up the knife, and stood behind Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi said coldly: "I let you go today, if you want to do evil again, don't blame me for being rude! You can go and find out who I am, Zhang Chi!"

After finishing speaking, he tapped the second child's leg with the back of the knife, and the second child let out a piercing scream.Zhang Chi pushed him forward without mercy, and he fell on the boss.

The boss quickly supported him, and seeing his pale and distorted face, he yelled angrily.

"You, don't you count what you say?"

Zhang Chi said coldly: "I said I would let him go, but I didn't say I wouldn't hurt him. I advise you to take him to see his legs, otherwise, I won't be responsible for the lameness!"

"you!"

The boss didn't have time to say more, so he called out to the second child, set up the third child together, and left in a hurry.

When their figures disappeared, Zhang Chi let go of his hand, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang".

From the moment Gu Xihe heard Zhang Qing's name, he knew that Zhang Chi was not feeling well.He was also shocked, but he could worry about Zhang Chi immediately.

He immediately stepped forward and put his arms around Zhang Chi's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Brother Chi, what they said may not be true. I don't think Zhang Qing will be so mad that he will harm his brother."

Zhang Chi leaned against Gu Xihe's body, feeling weak all over, and even more so cold.This coldness came from his heart, and soon his body began to tremble.

He murmured, "Xihe, did you hear that? It's only 20 taels of silver, and you want to kill me and you? It's really cheap! What benefits does he get for killing us?"

Gu Xihe was frightened by his appearance, hugged him tightly, stroked his back gently, and comforted him softly in his ear: "Brother Chi, you can't believe everything those people say. , We treat Zhang Qing with the utmost benevolence, how could he be so cruel to us? When we go back, let's talk to him and see what happens, okay?"

Zhang Chi's trembling body gradually calmed down, but he hugged Gu Xihe even tighter.

"Xihe, I also hope it's not him."

"Well, it's definitely not him!"

Zhang Chi's mood gradually calmed down, he pushed Gu Xihe away abruptly, and settled an old score with him: "Xihe, I let you go, why don't you go? What if I can't beat them?"

"Brother Chi, I won't leave! If we die, let's die together."

Facing Gu Xihe's red eyes, Zhang Chi couldn't say any more words of reproach, so he could only say: "Forget it, let's not talk about it. Let's go see Uncle Liu."

Seeing that the villain was beaten away, Old Liu Tou crawled out from behind the boulder and shouted, "Second Young Master, Second Young Madam, my leg is hurt."

Zhang Chi and Gu Xihe rushed over to help him sit on the big rock, and Zhang Chi helped him check his injured leg.He was thrown out by the carriage and hit his left calf when he landed.

Zhang Chi touched it a little, and the old head Liu cried out "Ouch, Ouch" in pain.

Zhang Chi frowned, "Uncle Liu, your calf should be broken. I can see the specifics. Let me fix it for you first. When I get to Liumiaozhuang in front, I'm looking for a doctor to take a good look at it for you."

Old Liu didn't expect that Zhang Chi would fix the fracture, so he quickly thanked him.

Zhang Chi told Old Liu to wait a while, he went to find two long thick wooden sticks, made gestures, then found a thin shirt from his bag, tore it into strips, and bandaged it for Old Liu Secure the calf.

Seeing his skillful movements, Gu Xihe couldn't help asking, "Brother Chi, how could you do this?"

Zhang Chi said casually: "If you do too much, you will be able to do it? In the past, on the battlefield, there were no military doctors, and it was brothers who took care of each other, bandaged wounds, and fixed fractures. I don't know how much they have done."

Old Liu said: "I didn't expect the second young lady to serve in the army, I can't see it!"

Old Liu lived far away from Gu's house, and he was not at home all year round, so he was not very clear about Zhang Chi's affairs.

"Yes! I have been a soldier for two years."

"It's not easy!" Old Liu sighed.

"Fortunately."

Zhang Chi gave him an excellent belt and helped him up.

"Uncle Liu, it's empty here, let's rest here for a while, eat something before leaving!"

Old Liu said bitterly: "That's right! Only this part of the mountain road is relatively spacious and flat. I originally wanted to rest here, but I didn't expect to meet bad people! Sigh!"

Zhang Chi looked around. Indeed, there was a mountain next to it, and a big slope on the right. Only here is more spacious, and there are flat boulders and green grass on the ground. Further forward, a small road gradually extends down.

Fortunately, it is here, wide and flat, so no car overturns and people are killed.And although the carriage fell down, fortunately the two horses were still there, and they did not break free from the reins.

Zhang Chi comforted: "Uncle Liu, going out is always dangerous, as long as the carriage is still there. Don't be angry, I'll go get food."

Zhang Chi turned around and met Gu Xihe's gaze, which was deep and complicated, which made him shiver.

He walked over and whispered, "Xihe, what's wrong?"

Gu Xihe lowered his eyes slightly, then raised them again with cautious eyes, "Brother Chi, you, do you remember the past?"

Zhang Chi rubbed his head, and almost understood what Gu Xihe meant.

He frowned slightly, did he remember?Actually not.But when he hit someone, when he fixed the fracture, that kind of action seemed to be instinctive, and he did it naturally.

"Xihe, I don't remember anything. I think, since I have forgotten those things, they are naturally not worth remembering. I don't feel uncomfortable at all, but very relaxed. Don't worry about it, let's Hurry up and eat something, we still have to hurry!"

"Oh."

Gu Xihe still feels a little regretful, after all, losing a memory is not a comfortable thing, but Zhang Chi doesn't care anymore, so why should he always struggle with it?

After a simple meal, the three of them got into the carriage together and continued on their way.

Although Old Liu's calf was injured, it didn't affect his driving. He still sat in the front and directed the two horses forward, but at a much slower speed.Fortunately, there was no more trouble, and they entered Liumiaozhuang at ten o'clock in the evening.

Liumiaozhuang is a fairly large village. As soon as he entered the village, Zhang Chi first asked where the medicine shop was, and a friendly passer-by pointed him to Baohetang.

The old doctor of Baohetang, surnamed Zhao, is in his sixtieth year, and his hair and beard are all white.Looking at Old Liu's leg, he couldn't help but ask, "Who bandaged this?"

Zhang Chi said quickly: "Old Mr. Zhao, I did it. I am not a doctor, but I was afraid that Uncle Liu's leg would be injured again if he was not treated in time, so I fixed him simply. It was just a stopgap measure. .So we came to see you as soon as we got here, please show Uncle Liu a good look.”

After Dr. Zhao showed it to Old Liu, he nodded again and again, "You handled it very well and connected the broken parts very neatly. If you hadn't fixed him in time, even if he came to my place, there would be sequelae. Now Well... I'll give you a few prescriptions, boil the medicinal materials and soak your legs every night, soak for a month, you shouldn't have any serious problems, but if you hurt your muscles and bones for a hundred days, you have to take care of it for a while .”

Old Liu Tou heard a lot from Dr. Zhao, and seemed to understand, but he understood a sentence, "Doctor, my legs won't be lame?"

After hearing the affirmative answer, he thanked again and again.

Dr. Zhao laughed heartily, "You! I should thank this little brother. If he didn't deal with it in a timely manner and in the right way, I wouldn't be able to help you."

Old man Liu finally relaxed, cupped his fists in thanks, "Thank you, Mrs. Gu."

Dr. Zhao looked up at Zhang Chi, the man in front of him was actually a pair?He shook his head secretly, believing that he was right.When he saw Gu Xihe, his eyes lit up and he understood immediately.It turned out to be like this.

Although it was the first time he met Zhang Chi and Gu Xihe, he had a good impression.Zhang Chi didn't care about the injury on his face, first let him show Old Liu's legs, and then he could see his character.

He looked at Gu Xihe carefully again, stepped forward and said, "Master, are you injured? Can I feel your pulse?"

Gu Xihe shook his head quickly, "I'm fine, so I won't bother you old man. Just show it to Uncle Liu and Brother Chi."

Zhang Chi also advised him to let Doctor Zhao take a look, but Gu Xihe still refused.He had heard before that a doctor with a good pulse could tell whether it was a man or a pair just by feeling the pulse, so he didn't dare to take the risk.Unbeknownst to him, the doctor only looked at his bone development, and he had already seen it very closely.

Gu Xihe was afraid that Zhang Chi would persuade him again, so he could only say: "Brother Chi, I'm hungry, let's eat and rest quickly!"

Zhang Chi thought that the road was hard to walk today, and he was frightened, so he should eat something delicious to calm down the shock, and rest early.

"it is good!"

Although Zhang Chi appeared calm on the surface, in fact, he kept thinking about the words of the boss, and he was angry and sad at the same time.Although he wished to sever ties with Chen Guihua and Zhang Qing, he still had extravagant hopes in his heart, since they were Zhang Chi's only relatives after all.But today, he was really discouraged.He wished he could go back immediately to settle accounts with Zhang Qing and the boss of Pinmingzhai, but for the sake of Gu Xihe, he suppressed this anger again.

Lying on the bed, he couldn't sleep all the time, and the faces of Chen Guihua and Zhang Qing flashed in front of his eyes like a revolving lantern.This time when he goes back, he must settle accounts with them!It's best to make a clean break and never communicate with each other.

Gu Xihe opened his eyes in a daze. In the dimness, he saw Zhang Chi staring at the roof with big eyes. He knew what he was thinking, but he regretted that he didn't find it. He felt distressed and blamed himself.

"Brother Chi, don't think about it, we'll think about it when we go back, okay? Things won't be that bad."

Zhang Chi sighed quietly, "I don't even think about it! But, I can't help myself."

Gu Xihe understood, fell silent for a moment, patted Zhang Chi's body lightly, and read softly: "The wind and rain are miserable, the rooster crows and crows, and seeing a gentleman, the cloud is not in danger? .When you see a gentleman, don’t Yunhu get sick? The wind and rain are like darkness, and the rooster crows endlessly. Now that you see a gentleman, don’t Yunhu feel happy?”

Hearing Gu Xihe's soft and deep voice, Zhang Chi even listened to a few lines and fell asleep before he had time to ponder the meaning of the lines.

When he woke up the next day, Zhang Chi had completely lost the gloom of yesterday, so Gu Xihe heaved a sigh of relief.

Going forward from Liumiaozhuang, there are still eighty miles to Su County.Because of old Liu Tou's leg injury, Gu Xihe and Zhang Chi decided to only travel forty miles a day and arrive in two days.

Old Liu was very sorry and said that his leg was fine.

Gu Xihe said, "Uncle Liu, anyway, there are still a few days before the exam, so it's okay if we go a day late. If your legs don't take care of them, it will be a lifetime thing."

Zhang Chi also said: "Yes, Uncle Liu, you don't want to become a cripple like me, do you?"

Old man Liu hurriedly said: "Second Young Madam, don't say that, how can you tell that your legs are lame?"

He knew that Gu Xihe and Zhang Chi were doing it for his own good, and since the two of them said so, they accepted the love.

After passing Liumiaozhuang, the road is wide and flat, with green crops on both sides. There are more pedestrians and horses on the road, and the passing villages are denser. There are also many farmers farming in the fields, making it very lively.

Zhang Chi asked in puzzlement, "Why is this place so prosperous just across a mountain?"

Gu Xihe said: "Although it is separated by a mountain, Su County does not belong to the Dadu Province, but the Plain Province. As the name suggests, the Plain Province is a large plain with few mountains and several rivers passing by. There is enough rice and grain, and it is the capital of the emperor, so the people at the foot of the emperor are naturally densely populated and more prosperous."

Zhang Chi nodded, "I see."
