Chapter Thirteen: We Know It First(1/2)
Lightning flashed and flames roared.
The roof beams struck by lightning were broken and broken tiles flew away.
By the time the surrounding Imperial Guards reacted, a fire had already broken out in the house, and both the fat eunuch and the little eunuch had been reduced to charcoal by lightning. The cause of death could not be seen at all.
Because he promised Zhou Ji, Gao Yao never told anyone about the thunder pattern on his palm, not even Yi Xiaochuan.
And Yi Xiaochuan himself never imagined that there would be someone in the world doing such an 'unscientific' thing.
The bloody piece of the collapsed body kept irritating his eyes. He only ate egg yolks for seven days in a row. Yi Xiaochuan had already fallen into a state of dehydration. In addition, he suffered such severe injuries down there.
When the imperial troops poured into the room, Yi Xiaochuan could no longer hold on and fell unconscious.
........
Dream, this is just a dream. After waking up from the dream, I have returned to modern times.
You can go clubbing and pick up girls like before.
Lily, Anne, and Jessica are still waiting for me~~
By the way, there is also that tigress Gao Lan.
Gao Lan.....
Since returning to the Qin Dynasty, this was the first time that Yi Xiaochuan thought of Gao Lan. In his dream, he returned to the nightclub to sing and dance, and Gao Lan walked towards him holding the hydraulic shear from the car repair shop, which not only scared him away.
The girl who came over cut him off with a ferocious smile on her face.
"No~! No!! Gao Lan, no!!!"
The severe pain came from far to near. Yi Xiaochuan woke up suddenly. The extremely real severe pain came from below. Yi Xiaochuan had no time to pay attention to where he was. When he woke up, his first reaction was to open his pants and check.
own bottom.
However, every time the cloth that had been stuck to the skin with blood stains was pulled open, the wound would be pulled, causing extremely painful feedback. It was not until it was completely pulled away that a bare gun was seen underneath, and then he collapsed with a pale face.
land.
"Are you awake? If you're awake, don't lie down and pretend to be dead! Quickly put on your clothes and follow me to see the steward."
Noticing the movement in the room, a person walked in and whispered sharply, "My lord wants to ask you for questions."
Yi Xiaochuan looked at the beams above his head expressionlessly. When he heard someone speaking, his head remained motionless. Only his eyes moved slightly to the side. He saw that the other person's outfit was similar to the fat eunuch he had seen a few days ago. His original resentment was extinguished.
He rose again, his eyes were dark, and his tone was hoarse with a bit of coldness.
"Ask me what?"
"Hey~ Look what you said, of course I'm asking you about the fire in the ablution room the day before yesterday!" The little eunuch pinched his waist and pointed at Yi Xiaochuan and said, "There was a sudden thunderstorm the day before yesterday, and the prince and the accompanying eunuch were struck by lightning.
If you die, you are the only one in the house who will survive, no matter who you ask."
Yi Xiaochuan said coldly, "Don't you know everything? You know why you still ask?"
"You dog slave has already entered the palace, and you still think of yourself as a master? Let me teach you what the rules are today!" The little eunuch stepped forward and was about to slap Yi Xiaochuan. Before his palm fell, he
Yi Xiaochuan grabbed his wrist, causing the veins to bulge, and the pain made the little eunuch cry for father and mother.
The little eunuch is not a fuel-saving lamp. The palace says that he bullies the weak and fears the strong. He is an old man after all. If he is bullied by a newcomer, his future life will definitely not be easy.
As the saying goes, he beat the master to death with random punches. The young eunuch couldn't pull back Yi Xiaochuan's wrist, so he took advantage of Yi Xiaochuan's difficulty in moving, punching and kicking him, and occasionally calling him down.
After a while, the door opened and the little eunuch walked out of the room proudly, leaving Yi Xiaochuan curled up on the bed feeling the pain he had never experienced before.
This is the Qin Dynasty, not an outing or an insignificant game, but a real world more than two thousand years ago. In addition to the brotherly loyalty, pleasure and hatred he has experienced before, there is also sunshine.
It was dark, and he was in this darkness now.
This time, Yi Xiaochuan faced this era squarely, but the price he paid for facing it squarely was something he was unwilling to bear.
A few days later, the little eunuch came to bully Yi Xiaochuan almost every day. However, as Yi Xiaochuan's body gradually recovered, the little eunuch quietly slipped away and found someone to take over his job.
And Yi Xiaochuan had already met the manager he was talking about.
That night, clouds suddenly came over, and seven or eight thunderbolts struck near the cleansing room. Several houses were burned down, and only Yi Xiaochuan was left alive.
The ancients never dared to judge the celestial phenomena arbitrarily, and the manager's inquiry was just a routine matter. He didn't ask anything from Yi Xiaochuan's mouth, but instead told him what he knew about the situation.
The broken rope and the sudden thunder that night felt strange no matter how you looked at it.
But no matter what, it can be regarded as covering up the traces of murder for him.
Yi Xiaochuan did not report the abnormality he discovered to the manager. There were some things that he could not explain clearly and could not say out loud.
In the past few days, whenever he recalled the feeling of the dagger being inserted into the fat eunuch's throat, Yi Xiaochuan could not help but show a look of pain and confusion.
He doesn't actually want to kill anyone...really doesn't.
If the person who encountered this kind of thing today was Gao Yao, he would definitely persuade Gao Yao to be more generous.
As long as Gao Yao has thoughts of revenge against these people, he will definitely do his best to stop them and even help those people escape.
The reason is: there is no such thing as empathy in the world. In the original drama, how could Yi Xiaochuan, who had a smooth journey, see Gao Yao's inner pain?
This is like the person who sees someone stabbing you and then advises you to be generous.
You should stay away from this kind of person, because when struck by lightning, it will easily affect you.
Ka~ You were stabbed, and the blood hasn’t been wiped off yet, so he came over to persuade you to be more generous.
Ka~ You have been stabbed again, the blood has not been wiped off yet, and he comes over again to persuade you to be generous.
(Are you going to die or not!)
But now the person being purified is Yi Xiaochuan himself. When others are killed, he can of course persuade others to be generous without pain; the dull pain that comes from his body from time to time reminds him, "You are no longer a complete man, you are a
The eunuch is a mutilated good-for-nothing, who has the qualifications to persuade him to be generous?
At a loss, at a loss what to do.
Yi Xiaochuan felt that layers of haze were gradually shrouding his heart.
............
After the injury recovered, Yi Xiaochuan successfully sneaked into the kitchen. Because of his good skills, although no one dared to bully him, there was a faint tendency to isolate him.
Yi Xiaochuan himself didn't take it seriously. He didn't know how to cook. At first, he lied about being a cook just to escape from the official slave labor. Now in the kitchen, no one asked him to cook, so he was free.
A lot, and all in all, it is what I wanted.
As for Zhou Ji, as the foundation was laid, a three-story building rose from the ground next to Xianyang Market, attracting countless children to watch and play every day.
Gao Yao wanted to drive them away at first, but Zhou Ji instead got some candies and gave them to Gao Yao, asking him to use these children to make up some nursery rhymes to help promote their restaurant.
Gao Yao scratched his head and thought for a long time. He didn't know where to get a reinforcement to help him think of a solution. He heard that he was an old man who was drunk all day long.
Zhou Ji's eyes lit up, and then he hesitated a bit. If his guess was correct, the drunkard should be Cui Wenzi from the original drama.
There were so many doubts about this person that Zhou Ji even speculated that he was related to the person on Tangwu Mountain.
The elixir of life in this world does not have much appeal to Zhou Ji. What he is more interested in is actually the meteorite.
The whole crystal stone has a strange magnetic field and contains some kind of strange energy.
The play did not explain the origin of the star or when it fell, but Zhou Ji vaguely felt that this thing was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen a similar existence in some work.
Zhou Ji had no intention of meeting Cui Wenzi, and Cui Wenzi seemed to avoid him on purpose.
On this day, he left the Liuli shop run by Lu Pheasant and Su Su. When he was about to go to the restaurant to check on the construction progress, he saw a familiar figure from a distance walking towards the restaurant following the child's guidance.
Walking from the west of the city to the east, Yi Xiaochuan looked at the busy construction site, grabbed a worker and asked, "Excuse me, is this the best building in the world?"
Being suddenly questioned, the young worker was a little nervous. He wiped the dust from his face and said in a panic, "This...Mr. Gong...Mr., who are you looking for?"
"Father..." Yi Xiaochuan's eyes suddenly turned cold. Even though he knew that the other party was just stuttering because he was in a panic, when he heard these two words, his heart still couldn't stop throbbing. He forced a smile and said,
"Is Gao Yao here?"
"Shopkeeper Gao? Shopkeeper Gao should be training the cooks in the kitchen right now, right?" The worker pointed to a row of temporary huts not far away, swallowing his saliva as if he had already smelled something.
"High... Shopkeeper..." Yi Xiaochuan murmured, followed the worker's fingers, nodded slightly to thank him, and then walked all the way towards the temporary kitchen. Before he could get closer, he happened to see a
Gao Yao, dressed as a cook and with a confident air on his brows, walked out.
Yi Xiaochuan has never seen such a high-ranking official before. In the past, he always had a flattering smile on his face, was timid and afraid of getting into trouble, and liked petty gains. But now, although his clothes are not luxurious, he has the kind of look from the inside out.
The calmness revealed is a transformation for the better.
The joy and expectation that I originally felt after hearing the market nursery rhyme and asking questions all the way were gone, replaced by an inexplicable fear.
Suddenly, Yi Xiaochuan regretted his impulse, so he turned around suddenly, lowered his head and left quickly as if he was afraid of being discovered by the high officials.
As a result, before I took two steps, I heard another familiar voice coming from the front.
"Xiaochuan? It's really you~Xiaochuan!"
Gao Yao didn't notice Yi Xiaochuan's figure at first. It wasn't until he heard Zhou Ji's voice that he looked at Yi Xiaochuan not far away with an expression of surprise, a little disbelieving, but also a little inexplicably distressed.
I haven't seen Yi Xiaochuan for more than a month, and I don't know where he went with Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty. He was dressed in a gray-brown robe and looked a little thin. Although there was a smile on his face, the smile was less sunny than before. Instead, it was replaced by Yi Xiaochuan.
There is an indescribable gloominess, as if the whole person is shrouded in a layer of haze.
Go through hardships.
To be continued...
