Chapter 2 The Public Thief
I don't know how long I walked in a daze. When Wei Jiu woke up, he was already lying on the grass, while the randomly named Telescope was eating grass with his head down.
He called out a new name several times, but the guy ignored it at all. In desperation, Wei Jiu gave it a new name.
White rabbit!
This time it seemed that he was satisfied. He walked proudly towards Wei Jiu with his head held high and his head lowered to get intimate with him.
The relationship between Wei Jiu and the White Rabbit has grown rapidly. Although the White Rabbit is a horse, it does not affect the intimacy between the two brothers at all.
Suddenly a clear female voice came to my ears.
"You thief! Do you want to bury the horse? My lady is willing to bury the horse. The price is of course whatever you like."
While talking, the girl handed over a steamed bun, which was still wrapped in rice paper. Wei Jiu turned around and found that there was a little girl standing behind him. She should be said to be an older girl, with a round and white face and big eyes.
Look at this big white rabbit.
Wei Jiu felt comfortable hearing this native dialect. He smiled and shook his head.
The girl didn't mind either. She looked at the white rabbit with some pity, but still handed the steamed bun to Wei Jiu.
"Look at the male thief, he doesn't look like a ruthless person. Riding on a horse like a horse will avoid encountering someone with ulterior motives. I hope the male thief will be careful."
Wei Jiuzheng was worried that he had nothing to eat, and suddenly received a donation from someone. He was not embarrassed, took the steamed bun, took a big bite, and said with a smile.
“If you want it, you must have it!”
The maid left briskly with her hands behind her back. Wei Jiu looked around and saw a small motorcade in the distance. The round-faced maid whispered softly beside the carriage for a moment, and then the carriage slowly left.
Wei Jiu was left alone in this open space again. Looking at the steamed buns in his hands, he couldn't help but sigh!
The screen is so simple!
But why would a girl buy a horse? To give it to her lover!
The white rabbit seemed to see through the evil thoughts in my heart. After snorting, I fell next to Wei Jiu. Seeing this, Wei Jiu was furious.
"Every horse sleeps standing up, what kind of monster are you with your legs in the air? Get up, you can survive by eating grass, brother, I will eat grass with you too?"
Maybe he was a little too excited, and his movements involved the wound on his left rib.
I really can't delay any longer. If I continue like this, I will die on the way before I can get familiar with the customs of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, death is not terrible. What I am afraid of is that the body will be eaten by wolves. If this happens, the bunch of bastards in Chang'an will know about it.
Don't laugh to death?
There is always a big gap between ideal and reality.
It was dark at noon, and not a single person or horse was seen in the city, not even a single house.
The White Rabbit has a way to make dinner. It can survive by eating grass and doesn't even need to drink water. The early morning dew is enough for it to survive, but Wei Jiu can't.
After pondering for a long time, he got on his horse and hugged the white rabbit's neck, murmuring in a low voice, and continued moving forward.
Maybe the rabbit was thirsty, or maybe it knew where there was water to keep Wei Jiu alive.
Wei Jiu, who had only eaten one steamed bun a day, dismounted powerlessly and had no time to think. He found dead branches to make a fire. In order to keep warm and to drive away wild beasts, the white rabbit seemed to be afraid of fire, so he hid behind Wei Jiu and stayed away from the fire.
Jiu ignored him and put the fire stick away, then found a branch and cut it into sharp points with a dagger.
Standing in the river with a torch in one hand and a wooden gun in the other, wearing a pair of trousers.
In previous lives, fishermen used lamps to catch fish at night. Although they didn’t know whether torches worked well, they only found out after experimenting with them.
puff!
The shot hit the air, and Wei Jiu was a little angry. After struggling in the water for half an hour, he finally caught a carp!
At this time, Wei Jiu was holding the carp and wanted to cry.
People are free after time travel, why am I so unlucky!
The fish was grilled in front of the fire. As for Dabai, he was lying on his side behind Wei Jiu and fell asleep. He was also very tired.
The carp was left alone on the fire. He didn't need to use a dagger to scrape the fish scales. At this time, he was folding a small box with the rice paper wrapped in the steamed buns, using the leaves to get water, pouring it into the paper box, and placing it on top of the fire!
Boiling water in a paper pot is the only way to get hot water these days.
While the water was boiling, Wei Jiu took off the bandage around his waist. The wound was suppurating and the dead flesh had rotted. Without medicine, he had to find a way to control the wound.
Every time I see this wound, I can think of Liu Qingyun's death.
Compared with it, it's just a piece of flesh that has been chipped away.
The dagger was scalded in boiling water. Wei Jiu held a wooden stick in his mouth and cut off the carrion with a knife, and then rinsed the wound with boiling water.
The severe pain caused Wei Jiu to bite off the stick in his mouth and his body convulsed.
He didn't know whether this would be effective or whether it would cause other problems.
There is no time to think about so much at this time.
Enduring the severe pain, he bit into the tasteless fish bite after bite. Now he only had one thought, to survive!
Qu Qingxuan must be waiting for him, and Cai Qinghu is already waiting for him to go to Yangzhou.
Some revenge must be avenged.
Lying on the grass and looking at the sky, I thought back to my two years in Chang'an, and I couldn't help but regret. During these two years in Chang'an, I only thought about how to make money, but never thought about the future.
Money is good and everyone likes it.
But just because everyone likes him, he ends up in this situation.
What I didn't even expect was that Li Er would abandon him at this time. It would be a lie to say that he didn't hate Li Er, but after hating him, he thought, he still hates him!
It would actually be quite good if I could calm down a little bit in Chang'an in the past two years and run the bun shop safely.
Although you may not get to know Liu Wanzhi or Cai Qinghu in this way.
Wei Jiu was confused.
At this time, he didn't know whether it was the right thing to run that bun shop or whether it was right to end up in this situation.
Sudden!
There was a sound of footsteps, and Wei Jiu frowned and stood up, holding the dagger in his right hand. How could there be anyone else here so late at night?
A figure appeared in sight.
He is about the same age as Wei Jiu. He is dressed in blue linen clothes and carries a book box on his back. Judging from his appearance, he should be a scholar.
The scholar approached and bowed to Wei Jiu.
"I've been bothering you late at night, and I'd like to ask you to atone for your sins. I wonder if I can reward you with the remaining fish and meat."
It turned out to be a poor scholar who followed the smell. Wei Jiu glanced at the half fish on the leaf, frowned slightly and nodded.
if!
If Wei Jiu had not met Bian Ji and the round-faced maid who gave him steamed buns today, he would never have agreed to give this stranger half a fish.
The scholar put down his book box, caught half of the fish and ate it, and nodded vaguely to Wei Jiu.
Wei Jiu spoke calmly.
"Do you know kung fu?"
The scholar shook his head.
"Brother, look at my body. I don't have the materials for martial arts training. I just used the relics of my two elders to study for several years. I heard that Chang'an has been very lively in the past two years. I plan to go to Chang'an to see which noble family I can join."
In exchange for a livelihood."
Hearing that he didn't know kung fu, Wei Jiu was relieved and lay down again and stopped talking.
The scholar ate all the fish, even the fish bones. Wei Jiu pointed to the paper pot.
"There is some hot water there, drink it!"
At this time, the scholar discovered that the paper pot was actually placed on top of the fire, and there was still water in the paper box. This scene made him wonder. The scholar had a lot of questions. Wei Jiu frowned and said in annoyance.
"Get out of here after drinking water."
The scholar then stopped asking questions and bowed.
"Today's great kindness, I dare not forget it. I also ask my brother to tell me his name. I will definitely repay you in the future."
Wei Jiu waved his hand irritably.
"Wei Twelve, the twelfth in the family, what is your name?"
"This is Li Yifu!"
Wei Jiu stood up suddenly, pointed at Li Yifu and shouted.
Chapter completed!
