sheepskin for melon

Looking at the bound hands, Tan Yushu fell into silence, and it took a long time before he said: "Although I said that I did something wrong before, but there is a reason for it, and I am not a criminal. You don't have to be like this..."

Chi Li's gaze stayed on his face for a moment, then slowly moved down, and finally landed on his waist, and stretched out his hand to draw the long knife hanging from his waist out of its sheath.

The slender blade shone with a cold halo under the moonlight, and when he flicked it with his fingers, there was a metallic crisp sound.

Chi Li looked at the heavy, at least one and a half meter long knife, then at Tan Yushu's innocent face, and said "Oh" meaningfully.

Tan Yushu: ...

"The world is hard, so I wear a sword to protect myself, and I have no other intention..."

Chi Li raised his chin, and his eyes slowly closed into a line: "This kind of knife is called Zhanma. The knife is long and curved, and the handle is long and narrow. When swinging, you need to hold it with both hands. It is specially used to deal with heavy cavalry. Knife. A heavy cavalry is covered in armor, which is difficult to break through with ordinary swords, except for the horse's legs which cannot be completely covered, but this kind of knife is powerful and heavy, and can cut off a horse's leg with one blow. Do you have such a knife for self-defense?"

"Mr. Lang is really knowledgeable." Tan Yushu immediately smiled, with an expression of admiration.

Rushing to a mysterious place, Tan Yushu was also nervous, so he brought the most handy knife he used, unexpectedly causing misunderstanding.

But at this moment, Tan Yushu relaxed, which at least shows that this person is also a "mortal", and this place is not really a "fairyland".

Just looking at the embroidery on this man's neck, it is probably not a good match, so Tan Yushu tried to be harmless, and said softly: "I am just a scholar. I have been in the army for a few years by chance. You don't have to be nervous about what villains and soldiers are like."

"Really? Scholars don't have to serve in the military. Why did you join the army?"

"It's a long story, Mr. Lang, can you let me down first, let's sit down and have a good talk?"

Chi Li once again fixed his gaze on this unexpected "guest", and of course more on his face.

It was a face that no one could ignore, soaked in the soft moonlight, adding a sense of mystery like a dream, so beautiful that it was unreal.

As a beauty's privilege, every word he said is so convincing that people can't believe it unconsciously.Even though the long knife one meter away in his hand was still shining coldly, this person still looked so harmless to humans and animals.

However, the corner of Chi Li's mouth slowly curved into a subtle arc. He must not know what it means to hold such a cold weapon, "join the army" and "scholar" in modern society, right?

Tan Yushu, who was always watching Chili's reaction: ...

He didn't know it before, but now he knows, something beyond his imagination must have happened...

Midsummer was short, and it was already light after six o'clock in the morning. Mother Chi pushed open the door to feed the pigs, but when she got to the yard, she couldn't help being surprised and called Father Tan to come out.

"His father, come out and see! This is a horse...a mule?"

Father Chi followed him out, also stunned, a mule cart was hitched next to the pigsty, and the cart was full of goods.

People of his age are no strangers to this kind of carts pulled by livestock, but in what age, trucks are used to pull goods. This old-fashioned thing makes him almost doubt whether he has traveled through time.

"Is there someone at home?"

"I don't know, I still want to ask you."

Seeing that she couldn't get an answer, Chi's mother rushed into the house immediately, wanting to tell Chi Li about this new thing.

"Xiaoli, get up quickly, go to the courtyard and have a look, come out..."

When Mother Chi opened the curtain, her voice stopped abruptly.

Chi Li was sleeping against the wall, with disheveled hair and deeply closed eyes.And beside him, there was a handsome man in ancient costume sitting on his knees. His hands were tied together, and he fell asleep peacefully with his chin propped up. The other end of the rope was being held in her son's hand.

"what--"

Mother Chi screamed uncontrollably, which woke up the two people on the kang.

Chi Li opened his eyes in a daze. He had insomnia all year round, and it was rare for him to sleep so deeply. After being woken up, his reaction was a little slow.

Rubbing his head, seeing the rope in his hand, his memory instantly revived, and he looked at his "prisoner of war" along the rope, and was immediately satisfied. Fortunately, he was still there.

Looking at Mother Chi again, she called "Mom" calmly.But he thought in his heart that he had to install a door for his house sometime.

Chi's father was attracted by Chi's mother's cry, and after seeing what was going on, he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "What's going on?"

Chi Li said calmly: "I caught someone stealing melons last night."

"I'm not..."

Tan Yushu also woke up from his coma, and tried to argue when he heard this, but seeing Chi Li's cold eyes, he swallowed his words back, and turned to look pitifully at Chi's father and Chi's mother.

God, Chi's father and Chi's mother had never seen such a good-looking person in their entire lives, and they immediately felt pity.

"It should be a misunderstanding. This young man is not that kind of person at first glance."

"Anyway, let's let him go first..."

Seeing that this cunning "prisoner of war" easily won the trust of his parents, Chi Li narrowed his eyes and patted his cheek: "Don't pretend to be pitiful."

"I don't have any..."

Tan Yushu wanted to cry but had no tears. He was obviously really pitiful. For example, his legs were so numb that he couldn't stand up...

For the first time, there was a pair of bowls and chopsticks on the breakfast table of Chi's family, but it was also unprecedented that no one touched the chopsticks.

Chi's father and Chi's mother opened their mouths wide at the same time, and it took a long time for Chi's father to speak incoherently: "You mean that melon...then the emperor? Then..."

Tan Yushu sat upright, bowing to Chi's father and Chi's mother: "Yes, that's how it happened. At that time, Tan was worried about the congratulatory gift to His Majesty, but he didn't expect to encounter such an opportunity. It's not a gentleman's choice if you don't ask yourself. Because, Tan Mou specially came to return the gift, and I hope you will forgive me."

But obviously, Chi's father and Chi's mother's reaction was beyond Tan Yushu's comprehension.

Father Chi asked with an indescribable expression: "Excuse me... that... Where did you come from?"

Tan Yushu's heart skipped a beat, but he still suppressed his strangeness and replied: "It's been 25 years since the founding of peace, and I'm a member of Dayong..."

Father Chi glanced at Mother Chi, and began to count with his fingers: "Xia Shang and Western Zhou, unified Qin and Han..."

The more he counted, the more confused he became. Fortunately, Chi Li interrupted him: "There is no such dynasty in history. He should come from a parallel world."

"Parallel world?" The four people present, except for Chi Li, were dumbfounded.

Chi Li didn't want to explain this concept, but only evoked a rare smile.

"Maybe it's hard for you to understand, but in terms of historical development, there should be hundreds of years between us. This world is completely different from the world you know. The most fundamental difference is that we don't have an emperor here at all." .”

"No emperor?"

Before coming here, Tan Yushu was actually mentally prepared to face all the strange things, but at this moment he was still shocked from the bottom of his heart.

In the following time, Tan Yushu asked a few words, and Chi's father happily talked to Tan Yushu about the "proletarian revolution" and various current policies.

What he said was very complicated, with a hammer here and a stick here, but it was enough for Tan Yushu to understand the basic national conditions of the time.

"The people are the masters of the country, power belongs to the people..."

Tan Yushu was shocked. Such an unbelievable thing can really be realized in the future?

Chi's mother looked at her man's flushed face, obviously having a conversation, and knew that with his tonality, he would not be able to find Bei if he came to him. This was showing off.

He kicked him in embarrassment: "Eat quickly, don't talk so many useless words." After speaking, he put a bowl of white porridge in front of Tan Yushu with a smile.

Tan Yushu was flattered and took it immediately: "Thank you, old lady." Then he said in a gentle and soft voice: "Master Chi cares about the world, he is well-informed, every word has benefited me a lot, in the eyes of the younger generation, It's not useless."

Father Chi was talking about something very exciting, and it was very uncomfortable to be interrupted. He immediately smiled when he heard Tan Yushu's words: "Yes, yes, yes, I am talking about national affairs, and you, a woman, can't understand." Happy He picked up a pair of chopsticks and mixed cucumbers into Tan Yushu's bowl: "Xiao Tan, I'll talk to you when I have time."

"Then the younger generation will have Master Laochi."

"Haha, it's easy to say~ Don't call me Master Chi, that's feudal dross, just call me uncle~"

Mother Chi vomited and rolled her eyes away from the dead ghost.

Tan Yushu picked up a mouthful of white porridge with his chopsticks. The rice grains were plump and smooth, sticky and connected together. It was polished rice without a single shell.Trying the entrance, it was sweet and glutinous, even the tribute rice in the palace was a bit inferior, Tan Yushu couldn't help but widen his eyes, and looked at Chi Mu in shock: "I don't know where the rice Madam bought, how could it be so sweet and delicious? ?”

When Chi Mu heard it, her eyes lit up: "Is it particularly delicious? I picked it out after trying several varieties. There are many more expensive rice on the market, but none of them taste as good."

Father Chi shoveled the rice into his mouth: "Is there a difference? Why can't I eat it? Anyway, it all ended up in my stomach. Why pay so much attention to it?"

Tan Yushu said with a warm smile: "Naturally, the daily diet should not be sloppy. Madam's dedication to the family is really admirable."

Chi's mother rolled her eyes at Chi's father, then looked at Tan Yushu happily.

The first time she saw Tan Yushu's face, Mother Chi liked him from the bottom of her heart. As a result, not only did she look beautiful and well-behaved, but her small mouth was as if she had been smeared with honey, and she immediately liked him even more. go with your heart.

Raised his hand to peel an egg and put it in his bowl, he said happily: "If it tastes good, eat more~ Don't call me old lady, it's weird."

"Then can this junior take the liberty of calling you aunt?"

"Good good!"

Chi Li at the side silently watched the amiable scene on the dinner table. Before today, this treatment was still his.

Chi's father and Chi's mother had just found their own son, and they had always been careful to please this strange son in every way, and they even circled around him at the dinner table.And today it was rare to forget him aside, but to laugh heartily around a person he had just met.

I have to say, this guy really has two brushes, an unknown person who traveled from ancient times, captured his parents in a few clicks.

But that's fine too, Chi Li silently ate rice.He is not good at dealing with the enthusiasm of others, instead of facing a cautious smile every day, he would rather be put aside by others.

However, suddenly, a white and thin hand broke into sight, raising his eyes, Tan Yushu was putting an unpeeled egg in front of him.

"Brother Chi likes eggs?"

"do not like."

"Oh."

Tan Yushu didn't say any more, and took the egg back. He didn't say much from the beginning to the end, neither enthusiastic nor indifferent, but kept politely outside the boundaries.

Chi Li took a serious look at the people around him. This guy is indeed a person who is very good at making people feel good. He has mastered the scale of getting along with anyone proficiently, and will not easily make people feel uncomfortable.

Sensing the probing gaze, Tan Yushu turned his head and smiled, as if there was a clear lake in that gaze, with a slight touch, layers of ripples would form.

Chi Li looked away, and snorted coldly in his heart: Obviously, he is still very good at taking advantage of his beauty.
