Chapter 161: Reward
Slowly opening his eyes, he saw a simple wooden frame. On the wooden frame, many messy thatches could be seen. Xiao Chen sat up suddenly and found that he was lying on a wooden bed.
In front of him was a simple thatched house, with nothing else visible except a wooden table.
"Where is this?" Xiao Chen muttered to himself. He only remembered that he was pulled into the water by Feng Yu. He didn't know what happened after that. But judging from the situation in front of him, he was still alive. That was Tian
Big good thing.
Just as I was thinking about it, a middle-aged lady in her forties or fifties suddenly walked in from outside the house. The lady was holding a bowl of something like water in her hand. Seeing Xiao Chen wake up, the lady quickly smiled and said: "Young man, you are so lucky."
Hey, I was able to survive in the Juanlong River. I am really blessed by the Bodhisattva."
The aunt has a thick accent, but it can be seen that the aunt is really happy for Xiao Chen.
Wait, he is still alive, where is Feng Yu? Xiao Chen suddenly realized that although he and Feng Yu had met by chance, at least they were in the same trouble. He hurriedly asked Auntie: "Auntie, there is someone with me, do you think?"
Are you here?"
The aunt thought for a moment and said: "Are you talking about him? He is better at water than you, or he brought you to the shore."
Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Feng Yu was fine.
"He actually saved me..." Xiao Chen shook his head and smiled. It seemed that he owed him a huge favor.
After getting out of bed, Xiao Chen said to his aunt: "Auntie, I want to go out for a walk."
The aunt waved her hand and said: "Don't worry, you have been unconscious for almost a day. Eat something first."
After being reminded by the aunt, Xiao Chen realized that his stomach was already growling with hunger.
The aunt handed the bowl in her hand to Xiao Chen and said: "Looking at the way you two are dressed, I guess you come from a wealthy family. My aunt's family is simple, and both men and children have joined the army. I only have this clear porridge, so don't dislike it, just make do with it."
"
After taking the bowl, Xiao Chen realized that this was not water, but a bowl of porridge with rice grains. However, the rice in this bowl was very little, almost only a thin layer at the bottom, but it was cooked by the aunt.
It's pulpy and looks like a bowl of murky water.
Xiao Chen promised that he had never seen such bad food in his life, but he still held the bowl with both hands and drank the porridge cleanly. He understood that this was the aunt's wish, and even if Xiao Chen
I resisted and didn't want to waste the aunt's kindness.
Handing the empty bowl back to the aunt, Xiao Chen smiled and said, "It tastes really good."
The aunt smiled and said: "People, when you are hungry, everything tastes delicious, but you are still young and don't have enough energy to eat these."
Xiao Chen patted his chest heavily and said, "That's not possible. After eating this bowl of rice, I feel full of energy."
It could be seen that Xiao Chen was comforting himself. The aunt shook her head, took the bowl and left with a smile.
Next to the bed, Xiao Chen's Yangchen Sword hung quietly. Xiao Chen was a little surprised that the aunt who lived in such a poor life did not have the desire to steal her own Yangchen Sword. It seems that the sword was also the old prince's hard work.
If you build it and pawn it anywhere, it will be enough for the aunt to have enough food and clothing for a lifetime.
Perhaps because of the simple nature of country people, Xiao Chen found that almost nothing was missing from his body. This made Xiao Chen admire his aunt more and more. He put the Yangchen Sword on his back again, and Xiao Chen slowly walked out of the thatched house.
, what comes into view is the structure of one courtyard and three rooms. In addition to Xiao Chen's side room, there is also a main room in the middle, which is probably the aunt's residence.
Opposite is a room where hay is piled. It is full of sundries and hay. At first glance, it is perfectly suitable to describe it as penniless. Xiao Chen secretly thought that this aunt has saved half of his life. When he comes back in the future,
I have to repay Yong'an no matter what.
In the main room, the aunt was constantly busy, presumably with trivial tasks such as washing dishes and cooking. Xiao Chen wanted to help, but he didn't know anything about it, so he simply had to wander around.
As soon as I walked out of the courtyard, I happened to bump into Feng Yu coming back.
Feng Yu looked a little paler, and she was holding a bundle of green vegetables that Xiao Chen had never seen before.
Seeing Xiao Chen, Feng Yu still looked indifferent and said, "Are you awake?"
"Wake up." Xiao Chen scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Um, thank you for saving my life."
Feng Yu glanced at Xiao Chen: "That's it?"
Xiao Chen said helplessly: "I have already said thank you very seriously, but I know that saving a life is more important than anything. Don't worry, when I return to my territory, I will definitely take you to the best brothel to have a good time."
Have a fun few days."
Feng Yu said with disgust in her eyes: "A dog can't change its habit of eating shit."
Xiao Chen glared and said, "Then I'll give you a brothel?"
Feng Yu pushed Xiao Chen away and said, "If I had known you were going to tell me this, I should have thrown you into the Juanlong River and drowned you. Get out of the way."
Xiao Chen knew that he was in the wrong, but he didn't want to be looked down upon by others, so he hurriedly followed Feng Yu, pointed at the thing in Feng Yu's arms and said, "What is this?"
Feng Yu was stunned, looked at Xiao Chen as if he were an idiot and said, "Wild vegetables are what cattle and sheep eat in the wild. Haven't you seen them?"
Xiao Chen was stunned. He was born in the royal palace and grew up in Kyoto. After living a pampered life for so many years, he had never seen anything like wild vegetables.
"So, this is for us to eat?" Xiao Chen asked in a serious voice.
Feng Yu turned to look in the direction of the thatched cottage and said, "For the common people, having wild vegetables to eat is already very happy."
As if thinking of something, Feng Yu suddenly said: "Don't you want to repay me? In this way, if you can get a meal of meat, then you will repay me."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen finally showed a look of pride on his face and said, "What's so difficult about that? I don't have much else, except that I have a lot of money and can just buy some meat. Isn't that a simple matter?
?”
As he spoke, Xiao Chen took something out of his pocket, only to find that the banknotes he was carrying had already been soaked in the river water. Thinking of the heroic words he had just given up, Xiao Chen's face suddenly became a little embarrassed.
Feng Yu sneered and said: "Forget it, I think you can't do it, so I won't embarrass you."
Xiao Chen, who has refused to admit defeat since he was a child, subconsciously raised his chest and said: "Who said I can't do it? Just watch it. I have to make some meat for you today and you can see it. Don't you dare to look down on me in the future."
Got me."
Feng Yu smiled playfully: "Really?"
At this time, Xiao Chen was already rushing to put the duck on the shelf. Although he didn't know where to get the meat, he had already said the words, and naturally there was no reason to take them back. Looking at the sun approaching the west, Xiao Chen said in a condensed voice:
Chapter completed!
