Chapter 142 Notes

Ye Feng pulled the carriage to the backyard of the inn, sent the boy away, and then packed up the belongings in the carriage.

Ye Feng hid jewelry and other gold with special markings, and packed gold without special markings into a bag and carried it on his back.

,

Ye Feng thought that if there was a plague here, there would be people who needed money, and he would donate some to the local victims.

At this time, Ye Feng heard the cry of a pigeon. He looked up and saw a pigeon flying from the side and passing overhead. Ye Feng picked up the bow and shot the pigeon down.

Unexpectedly, he hit the pigeon with one arrow. Ye Feng was very surprised when he saw the pigeon shot down.

Because when Ye Feng saw this bow, he wanted to draw the bow and try it, but he never found a suitable opportunity and was itching all the time. Just now he wanted to just try this bow and shoot an arrow at random, but he didn't expect that he was hit by it.

What Ye Feng didn't know was that after entering the Overflow Realm, his reflexes and eyesight had been improved, and his archery skills had almost reached the level of being able to penetrate a Yang with a hundred steps.

The reason why I say almost is because he is relatively new to bows and arrows. Ye Feng learned his bow skills from a veteran when he was defending the city in Qiemo Kingdom.

Ye Feng looked at the dead pigeon that fell on the ground, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

He smiled and said: "You are really unlucky. I can shoot you all, but you can have a bowl of pigeon porridge in the morning. It's a pity that it's a little short. It would be nice to have a few more."

Ye Feng packed up, took the pigeons to the inn, handed the pigeons to the boy and said: "I just bought the fresh pigeons, let's make some porridge."

"A few more side dishes. Oh, cook more porridge and cook it three times. I'm used to eating more in the morning."

This first site is:

When the boy heard San Ge, he couldn't help but look at the clerk. The clerk touched his body and his face darkened. He said to Ye Feng in embarrassment, "Little brother, don't worry, let's have a bite first and eat slowly. Your Excellency will be here soon."

He turned to the boy and said, "Use pigeons to cook porridge, and then add some pickles."

Ye Feng saw that the county captain didn't pay them and asked the clerk to entertain them, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, bring some more porridge and some more dishes, and I'll settle the account."

The policeman next to him said hurriedly: "How can this be done? We should be entertaining them."

Ye Feng waved his hand and said, "We were going to the city to eat, so it doesn't matter."

The policeman looked at the clerk. The clerk pretended not to see anything and said nothing. The policeman could only shake his head helplessly.

The boy next to him was holding a pigeon that was still warm and bleeding and said to himself: "Are there any pigeons for sale in the backyard? There are only stables and huts in the backyard."

The boy returned to the kitchen with the pigeons in confusion. Seeing his confused look, Ye Feng thought they didn't know how to cook pigeon porridge, so he followed him to the kitchen.

The cook was taking the pigeon from the boy's hand, and Ye Feng said, "Let me do it." He took the pigeon from the chef's hand.

When the cook saw someone helping him, he was willing to help and said, "Where did you buy this pigeon? It's really fresh, as if it had just been shot."

This first site is:

Ye Feng blushed and said, "Someone just shot it and sold it to me."

The cook suddenly realized, "Oh, no wonder it's so fresh."

Ye Feng plucked the pigeon's feathers and saw a piece of cloth tied to the pigeon's leg. Ye Feng took it off and unfolded it to look at it. There were two lines of words on it.

The cook also saw the note, came over to look at it and asked, "What's written on it?"

During this period, the scripts of various countries were almost different. The Qin State used the Western Zhou and Spring and Autumn bronze inscriptions that were close to orthodoxy.

In other countries, the writing strokes are simplified at will, and the physical structure is extremely confusing. There are even several ways to write the same character.

For example, the character "horse" in Qin and Chu still has the appearance of some later traditional Chinese characters. The character "horse" in other countries looks like a painting.

For example, the character "horse" in the Sanjin Dynasty is like a triangle with two curved horizontal lines on it. The character "horse" in the Qi state is also written lying down, and some are written upside down like later calligraphy and painting.

Ye Feng had never seen these words at all, so he looked at the note and said: "Well, what, what, what, what. Three? Hey, let me go, I am really awesome, hey."

The cook next to him said: "Who is this? You are so shameless and you still write that you are awesome."

Ye Feng suddenly found that he could understand a few of the words, and started shouting excitedly.

Ye Feng looked at the words on the note carefully again, and said to himself: "The note seems to say that the three of them can do whatever they want, and check whatever they want."

"Two and one girl, one is taller, the other is fairer, the other is ugly, the other is lewd."

Ye Feng read it twice and suddenly an idea flashed in his head, and he said to himself: "Can the three of us be the three of us? Someone used a flying pigeon to pass the message and asked other people to check the three of us?"

"The girl is tall? She is fair-skinned, beautiful and has long legs? The words don't seem to match. The girl is tall, but it doesn't seem right either. She has good martial arts? Yes, she has strong martial arts! Female martial arts are strong. Can they tell that Yue women are strong in martial arts?"

"Beautiful, white, American? Well, it seems wrong. It's a mess. It should be words like white skin and beautiful appearance. The first one refers to Yue women, and the next two refer to me and Qiu Laoer.

.”

"Ugly? Your whole family is ugly. Well, ugly, they may be talking about Qiu Laoer. One is wretched, eh? The other is wretched? You are a fool, your whole family is wretched."

"Well, this must also be about Qiu Laoer. But who is he? It seems that there is not peace in this city. It seems that we need to be careful."

Ye Feng was muttering in a low voice while handling the pigeons. The cook next to him thought he was saying something to apologize to the pigeons. The cook said to Ye Feng: "I didn't realize it, brother, he is still a very particular person."

Ye Feng replied: "Well, the pigeon feathers have to be pulled out cleanly."

The cook shook his head and went off to do his own business.

Ye Feng blanched the pigeons in water and skimmed off the blood foam, then added soybeans and millet and simmered them.

Ye Feng thought about things and returned to his seat with some soybeans in his hand.

Qiu Laoer saw something in Ye Feng's hand and thought it was something to eat, so he asked: "Brother Feng, what's delicious in your hand? I'm a bit hungry too."

Ye Feng was interrupted from his thoughts, looked at the soybeans in his hand, handed them to Qiu Laoer and said: "Soybean sashimi. I'll give it to you."

Qiu Laoer bit into one and found that it was raw. He asked, "Brother Feng, are these soybeans raw? Raw ones cannot be eaten."

Ye Feng glanced at Qiu Laoer and replied absently: "I didn't eat."

Yue Maiden discovered the problem and asked Ye Feng in a low voice: "What's wrong? You were absent-minded when I saw you coming back from the kitchen."

Ye Feng briefly told Yue Maiden in a low voice about the note found on the pigeon.

The girl Yue felt at the city gate that someone was watching them in the house on the roadside, but because Chuan Jianguo and his carriage were far away, they didn't feel it at that time.

But when they arrived at the inn, Ye Feng took the side door and entered the backyard. When they entered the inn through the main entrance, they were only a few houses away from Chuan Jianguo's carriage. Yue Maiden felt that the people in the carriage were watching them.

Because she didn't know the other party's intentions, Yue Virgin did not act rashly these two times.

The virgin girl also briefly talked about what she had just been under surveillance.

Ye Feng thought for a while and said to Yue Maiden: "The pigeons fly from north to south, so the pigeons should be released by the people monitoring us in the building near the city gate."

"I don't know now whether they are monitoring the entire city or monitoring us, but judging from their note, it seems that they are not monitoring us."

"We just encountered them by chance. Who would risk their lives to monitor a plague-infested city?"

At this time, there was the sound of voices and footsteps of several people walking towards the door.

A police officer ran in first and said, "The county captain is here."

Soon a man in official uniform walked in with several official servants and two people dressed as doctors.

The county captain shouted with a Lu accent: "Who knows the origin of this plague?"

,!

The Mandarin of this period was Yayan, which is the Yayin of the Central Plains, also known as Yayan, Tongyu, Zhengyin, etc. It was the common language of all dynasties since ancient times and was popular among central officials and literati groups.

Yayan originated from the Xia Dynasty's rule that officials, princes, and emperors could not use dialects when making pilgrimages to the emperor, but could only use Xia dialect, which is Yayan. On the one hand, it was difficult to understand, and on the other hand, it was easy to cause misunderstandings.

During the Manchu Dynasty, a Chaoshan man came to Beijing to ask the emperor whether Jiabeng had eaten, but the emperor mistakenly thought he was asking if he was dead, so he was beheaded. Only later did he find out that the local dialect meant Jiabeng had eaten.

After the Shang Dynasty destroyed the Xia, the Yi language, which is now Shandong, was designated as Mandarin, but the common people still used the Xia language in private. After the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty resumed the use of the Xia language as Mandarin.

Therefore, the county captain's Lu accent is a bit special. He likes to use inverted sentences when speaking in Lu accent. It sounds interesting, but sometimes it is easy to misunderstand.

For example, in "The Analects of Confucius·Zihan" "Who am I to deceive? Deceive heaven?" The correct word order should be "Who am I to deceive? Deceive heaven?" The translation is, "Who am I to deceive? Deceive heaven?"

Qiu Laoer pointed at Ye Feng and replied: "He is the one who knows the name of the plague."

The county lieutenant looked at Ye Feng and frowned when he saw that Ye Feng was very young and looked less than twenty.

In the blink of an eye, she saw Yue Shengrong next to her, taking off her scarf and eating porridge normally, and her eyes lit up.

The county lieutenant sat up straight, straightened his clothes and said, "This plague is coming very fiercely. Is there any way to solve it?"

When Qiu Laoer saw Ye Feng, he was a little confused and replied: "You can treat cows."

The county lieutenant asked in surprise: "Seriously?"

Qiu Laoer glanced at Ye Feng and nodded: "Seriously."

The county lieutenant immediately said to a policeman next to him: "Go find the cow." The policeman next to him was staring blankly at the virgin girl without any reaction.

When the county captain saw no response from the messenger, he emphasized again: "Go find the cow."

The person next to him pointed at the policeman with his finger, and the policeman reacted and replied: "Sir, the little ones are not called cows."

At this time, the man next to him who had just pointed his finger said: "My lord asked you to find the cow."

The policeman then came to his senses and said, "Hey," and ran out.

The virgin Yue felt the gazes of several people opposite her, which made her feel a little angry. At this time, she had already drank a bowl of porridge, wiped her mouth and put on a face towel.

Then she raised her head and responded to the people who looked at her with cold eyes. Several people couldn't help but shuddered and looked away.

,!

When the county lieutenant saw this scene, he couldn't help wiping his sweat and looking away from his furtive glances from time to time.

The county lieutenant couldn't help coughing and said: "This meal counts as my shop."

The innkeeper responded immediately.

The county captain turned back to the people behind him and said, "We have been busy all morning. Let's sit down and have something to eat."

After that, the county captain ordered another bowl of bean soup and two pickles.

Bean soup is much cheaper than millet porridge. This shows that the county captain is quite frugal and should be a relatively honest official.
