As soon as he heard that he wanted to buy ten, the man selling sweet potatoes hurriedly lowered his head to take the sweet potatoes and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Here you go, here are ten sweet potatoes! They taste better when they are hot!" the man said as he handed over the sweet potatoes wrapped in oil paper.

"Huh? I...I think I've seen you before?" As soon as the man raised his head and saw Chi Zhongtian, he was suddenly startled.

While Chi Zhongtian took the sweet potato, he handed the money over with a smile and said, "Really? I think you look familiar."

The man took the money in a daze, then frowned, then as if he suddenly remembered something, he clapped his hands excitedly and said, "It's you! I remembered, you were the benefactor that night!"

Chi Zhongtian smiled even more happily when he saw that the man had remembered it: "It's not like being a benefactor, but I just helped you drive away evil people."

This man was none other than the sweet potato seller who was bullied by Butler Du of the Prince's Mansion that night. Chi Zhongtian still remembered giving him two taels of silver to buy a cloth tiger for his child, because that day was the birthday of the man's child.

"I didn't expect to see you again! Haha, I'm so happy! You can take these sweet potatoes, but I can't ask for the money. I promised you back then that as long as you eat them, I won't charge you any money!"

Smiling happily, he handed the money over.

Chi Zhongtian lowered his head and saw that the man's hands were blackened by charcoal ash, and he felt sour in his heart. But he knew that he must not look down on such a person, because he also relied on his own efforts to make money to support his family. There was nothing wrong with it.

What's more, those who look down on others will eventually be looked down upon by others. This is a wise saying that Chi Zhongtian knew when he was a child.

"How can I not pay for eating your sweet potatoes?" Chi Zhongtian smiled and pushed the man's hand back.

At this time, Yongmenzi Di also came over, and he also recognized this man. If it hadn't been for this incident, he would not have gotten to know Chi Zhongtian.

"It smells so good! Haha, brother Chi, you can't enjoy it alone. Come on, I'll buy ten of them too!" Yongmenzi Di also took out his silver and handed it over.

The man was stunned and asked with a smile: "Master, do you know my benefactor?"

"We know each other, we are friends!"

"Okay, then I'll sell them to you cheaply! Hehe!" The man quickly wrapped ten sweet potatoes and handed them over.

Yongmenzi Di praised the sweet potatoes while smelling them: "This stuff is really fragrant!"

I think Yongmenzi Di has never eaten anything bought from this kind of place. Today is the first time I bought it. Instead of being disgusted, I found it very delicious.

"Brother, you're busy, I'll leave first. I'll come see you when I have time!" Chi Zhongtian saw that the time was almost up and prepared to go back.

The man said: "Okay, my benefactor, you can go about your business first. Come here often when you have time. I'll invite you to my house for dinner, and I'll ask my wife to stew pheasants for you!"

Chi Zhongtian was inexplicably moved in his heart, and he quickly nodded and said: "Okay, definitely, I will definitely go if I have time!"

On the way back, Yongmenzi Di asked Chi Zhongtian if he wanted to "take care" of this man. Chi Zhongtian firmly refused. The reason was very simple. The man selling sweet potatoes had his own dignity and occasionally bought his sweet potatoes.

That's it. If it goes any further, it will be difficult for a man to accept it.

After listening to Chi Zhongtian's words, Yongmenzi Di was filled with emotion. He wondered why Chi Zhongtian was only one year older than him, so he knew people's hearts so thoroughly.

Things are going smoothly here in Chi Zhongtian, and he can be said to be in a happy mood, but Aoshuangxue, who is far away in Shezhou, has been feeling a little unhappy these past few days.

Since Ao Shuangxue went to Jixi Village to learn the art of treating poisons with Shen Zong, she has been working very hard. She only returns to the yard occasionally to check it out. Fortunately, the servants Chi Zhongtian found are doing their best, and the whole yard is cleaned by them. It was clean, so Ao Shuangxue was relieved and devoted herself to learning medicine and poisoning from Shen Zong.

One day, Ao Shuangxue listened to Shen Xing's instructions and went to a spring near the south of Jixi Village to look for an herb called "Xulongcao" to prepare a detoxifying pill. Ao Shuangxue wanted to She was collecting herbs, so she wore a gray-white coarse linen skirt and carried a bamboo basket. Looking at her suddenly, she looked like a village girl.

After Aoshuangxue walked to the spring, she searched carefully, but by chance, she only found a few plants after searching for a long time, which was definitely not enough. Later, she met a farmer who came here to fetch water, and the farmer told him to follow the spring. If you go west, there might be more, so Aoshuangxue walked west, looking carefully all the way.

At this time, there was a loud noise not far ahead. Ao Shuangxue raised her head curiously and saw that there were about twenty people walking towards this direction in groups.

Aoshuangxue felt very strange. Jixi Village had always been very quiet. Where did such a group of people come from?

After a while, the group of people came over. Ao Shuangxue looked around and saw a young man wearing a lake blue robe. He was walking around shaking a paper fan and looking around. There was a man wearing an official uniform next to him. The man was saying something to him with a smile on his face.

Seeing that they were officials from the imperial court, Aoshuangxue stepped aside very politely, preparing to let them pass first.

Originally, everything was normal, but the bad thing was that when the young man waving a paper fan passed Ao Shuangxue, he inadvertently turned his head to look at her. This look was so extraordinary that he couldn't take his eyes away. .

Aoshuangxue was wondering when she suddenly looked up and found this man staring at her. She felt a little unhappy and turned around to leave.

"Girl, wait!" the young man suddenly stopped her.

Ao Shuangxue was stunned, stopped and turned around and asked, "Call me?"

The young man hurried over, clasped his fists and said, "This girl, do you dare to ask me your name?"

When you meet someone and ask them their name, what's going on?

Ao Shuangxue was greatly disgusted, sneered, and then walked forward.

"Bold! Mr. Liu asked you a question, but you are so rude!" Suddenly, the official next to the young man shouted loudly, and several government officials immediately walked over and stood in front of Ao Shuangxue.

"Hey! Don't be rude!" The young man suddenly waved his hand to stop them, then walked over and said, "Don't be surprised, girl. Since you don't want to say anything, I won't bother you." Then, with a straight expression: "You guys Some of you, please stand down!"

"Yes!" Several government officials heard the young man's words and quickly stepped aside.

Aoshuangxue sneered again, and then left quickly.
