old friend wine

Unknowingly, Shen Ci and Xu Qinghan have lived in seclusion in this remote mountain village for more than a year.

The Dendrobium planted by Shen Ci in the past two years has grown very well, and the money he sold is enough for two people to live for three to five years.Xu Qinghan bought more than a dozen chicks half a year ago, and all of them have grown up except for one that was trampled to death by him at the beginning, and the other that was fed to death. It's a pity that Xu Qinghan's luck is not very good, only five of the dozen chickens The hen can lay eggs, but raising the brood does not make any money.

It's New Year's Eve again.

Xu Qinghan has long been tempered by the mediocre life to be gentle and soft. He is not unskilled in washing, cooking, carrying water and chopping firewood.

Shen Ci squatted in front of the stove to boil water, smiled slightly and looked at Xu Qinghan who was sitting on a small bench beside him, with his head down and plucking chicken feathers resentfully.Shen Ci knew that he had a deep grudge against these roosters, because the roosters only ate food and did not lay eggs, Xu Qinghan usually felt sorry for his few bags of corn when feeding the chickens.Moreover, Xu Qinghan has a strong interest in picking eggs, so he goes to the chicken coop regularly every day to dig out eggs. If any chicken lays an extra egg, he can eat half a bowl more for dinner, so the rooster that can't lay eggs will annoy him even more. .

At the beginning, Shen Ci was still a little worried that Xu Qinghan was just trying to be fresh for a while, and would not be able to live a life of poverty in the countryside, but he didn't expect that Xu Qinghan's cute and innocent side, who had let go of his glory and wealth, was so lovable.He is easy to be satisfied, and he can be happy for a long time if a chicken lays an extra egg or a penny rises in dendrobium.He is still so easy to play petty temper, if Shen Ci talks a few more words with the big girl next door, Shen Ci will definitely see a washboard waiting for him by the bed when he enters the room.

Time flows between the fingers like quicksand, such an ordinary and busy day makes both of them feel so comfortable that they suspect that they are dreaming.The pressure from the capital's wanted arrest is increasing. Not only has Shen Ci's wanted arrest warrant not been revoked in the past year, but the bounty has been rising steadily, reaching an unimaginably sky-high price.In addition to the increase in the bounty, the scope of the hunt has also gradually increased. Shen Ci occasionally worries about whether the southern border is still safe.

In the past two months, Xu Qinghan was the only one who went shopping in the town, Shen Ci no longer dared to show his face, he was so valuable, who knew how many people who thought of this bounty were searching for his whereabouts everywhere.

"The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve. There will be a fair in town tomorrow. I'll go buy some vegetables and drinks. Do you have anything you want to eat?" Xu Qinghan raised his eyes to look at Shen Ci, and a strand of long hair fell down in front of his eyes.

Shen Ci wiped his hands on his clothes, and gently pulled his long hair behind his ears, "You can buy whatever you like, I don't have anything in particular."

Xu Qinghan rubbed his hand affectionately with his side face and said, "I want to eat braised pork, you make it for me tomorrow."

"Should we eat it tomorrow instead of waiting for the Chinese New Year?"

"We eat roast chicken during the Chinese New Year, and we can't eat so many good ones in one day." Xu Qinghan raised the plucked fat chicken in his hand and looked at it, "Killing two is enough for us to eat, and the remaining ones What to do, it will be a waste of food if you keep raising them.”

Shen Ci came up with an idea, "Get it and buy it at the market, and the money for buying chicken cubs will be returned to the original cost, and it will save you from worrying about the capital all day long."

"Okay, I'll take Uncle Zhang's donkey cart tomorrow, and he and Xiaoni are also going to the market." Xu Qinghan smiled and snapped his fingers, "I'll go tomorrow morning, and I'll definitely be back by noon, do your best Braised pork is waiting for me."

As a result, the next day, Shen Ci took the time to make the braised pork and let it cool down, but he didn't wait for Xu Qinghan to come back.

------

Xu Qinghan really couldn't come back, no matter what, he never expected to see a spirit fox in this remote village far away from the Emperor Shangao!He immediately dropped the chicken and turned around and ran away, but he couldn't run better than the martial arts spirit fox, and he was caught by the spirit fox in two or three steps and brought back to the inn.

Xu Qinghan is really going crazy, he and Shen Ci's happy life is still going nowhere, how can it be ruined again!The aloof and cold His Royal Highness King Yan has never been so hysterical in his life. He rushed out of the door again and again, and was stopped by Jin Longwei again and again, and his long hair was loosened by him.Linghu couldn't have imagined that Xu Qinghan would be so decisive, he turned around and opened the window and jumped from the third floor if he couldn't get out!

Linghu was shocked and jumped out of the window. Fortunately, there were a lot of weeds growing on the back of the inn, Xu Qinghan only slightly twisted his ankle when he fell.Linghu was exhausted by his torment, and had no choice but to tie him to a chair with a rope.

Xu Qinghan leaned his head back on the chair without saying a word, his hands tied behind him were still struggling unwillingly, and the hemp rope was soon stained scarlet by the blood from his wrists.

Linghu has a keen sense of smell, and quickly discovered Xu Qinghan's self-harming behavior.He knelt by Xu Qinghan's side and held his arm, sighed, "My lord, why do you torture yourself, even if you break free from the rope, you won't be able to escape."

Xu Qinghan looked down at him, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll go back with you, immediately, let's go now."

Linghu smiled, and said slowly, "My lord, there is still someone missing. Either we wait here and wait for him to find him, or you take the initiative and take your subordinates to find him?"

Xu Qinghan was flustered, he looked at the bright sun outside the window from the corner of his eye, it will soon pass noon.If it takes another hour or two, Ah Ci will definitely find him.

"What a bold slave, a little guard is so disrespectful to this king, you should let go of this king, or this king will chop off your head!" Xu Qinghan was still dying.

Linghu took out a gold medal from his bosom, and put it in front of Xu Qinghan, shining it brightly, "According to His Majesty's decree, no matter what method is used, this subordinate must bring you and Chief Shen back to the capital. This subordinate is only following orders, please Forgive me, my lord."

Xu Qinghan forced a strange sneer from the tip of his throat, "I will never forgive you in my life, if anything happens to Ah Ci, I will kill you without a whole body."

Linghu couldn't help shivering in Lingling, and said awkwardly, "My lord, calm down."

Xu Qinghan stared at the slowly setting sun in a daze, if it wasn't for the occasional blink of an eye, people would suspect that it was a sculpture.

At sunset, he still saw the person he wanted to see the most and the one he didn't want to see the most. As soon as Shen Cifu stepped up the stairs, he was caught by the rope net that fell from the sky, and then several knives were put on his neck.

Shen Ci was forced to lie on the ground, looked up at Xu Qinghan who was tightly tied to the chair, and then turned his eyes to see Linghu beside him.He let out a long sigh of relief, and smiled at Xu Qinghan from a distance, "It's good that you're fine, I thought you'd met someone bad."
