Congrats to the boss and his brother

That night, Chi Jingyao slept on Pei Ye's bed and had a nightmare.

He dreamed that Pei Ye had grown up and became the big boss in the book.

The boss pressed him on the bed "viciously" and asked him why he slept in his own bed, did he want to assassinate himself?

Chi Jingyao was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and woke up from his dream.

"Ayao, did you have a nightmare?" When Rong Niang entered the door, she saw him looking devastated.

Only then did Chi Jingyao realize that it was already dawn, so he quickly waved his hands and said that he was fine.

"I washed your clothes for you. Last night I took my old clothes and changed you into a coat. Try to see if it fits?" Rong Niang held a red coat in her hand, and said I want to help Chi Jingyao try.

Chi Jingyao was a big man at heart, so he was embarrassed to ask her to help, so he took it and put it on himself.

Seeing him like this, Rong Niang couldn't help laughing, she thought to herself that this little girl is thin-skinned, she was also in the bath last night, she insisted on asking her to help, as if she was afraid she would see it.How did she know that Chi Jingyao was a boy, so she would probably be shocked if she saw it.

"It looks good." Rong Niang looked at Chi Jingyao, and said, "Ayao was born beautiful, and she looks good in anything she wears."

Chi Jingyao smiled when he heard the words, and thanked Rongniang.

Rong Niang looks pretty, and she liked to wear red when she was young, but when Pei Yuan fell ill, she seldom took out these clothes.When she turned out her clothes last night, she thought about making them smaller for Chi Jingyao to wear.

It was already bright outside, and Rong Niang stared at Chi Jingyao after he changed his clothes and tied his hair before going to make breakfast.When Chi Jingyao was washing up, he looked at himself in the water and realized that the hair that Rong Niang had tied up for him was much more beautiful than Ruan Baozi's.

Although it was somewhat awkward to wear girls' clothes all day long, after getting used to it, Chi Jingyao found it quite interesting.

After washing up, he wanted to help Rong Niang, but Rong Niang drove him out of the kitchen.

Chi Jingyao secretly thought about how to find an excuse to slip out.

First, I want to see Ruan Baozi, and second, I want to take Laoqian's mule cart to report to the county government.

It was delayed for a day yesterday, if you don't report to the official again, I'm afraid that Ren Yazi will almost arrive in the county.

At this moment, Pei Ye was packing up the animal skins in the yard, and saw him neatly stacking the animal skins one by one, and then tied them into a pile with hemp rope.He sorted out all the animal skins that had been dried before, and Chi Jingyao noticed that one of the white fox skins was in excellent condition.

Chi Jingyao walked over and squatted next to Pei Ye, and asked, "Second Brother, what are you doing with these animal skins?"

When Pei Ye heard the title "Second Brother", he couldn't help but pause for a moment.

He didn't intend to pay attention to this little thing at first, but when he saw his mother coming out of the kitchen from the corner of his eye, he could only reply: "Sell."

"Where are you going to sell it?" Chi Jingyao asked again.

"County town." Pei Ye said again.

Chi Jingyao was overjoyed and asked, "Is the second brother going to the county today? Can you take me with you?"

Pei Ye frowned, and was about to refuse, when Rong Niang beside her said, "A Yao wants to go to the county seat, Pei Ye, you should take 'her' with you, it happens to be in your old Uncle Qian's mule cart." Children want to watch the excitement, which is human nature.

"I..." Pei Ye still wanted to refuse.

Chi Jingyao hurriedly stopped him and said, "Thank you, Second Brother!"

Pei Ye: ...

He looked unhappy, but he glanced at the smiling Rong Niang beside him, so he could only hold back and said nothing.

After a simple breakfast, Pei Ye picked up a bundle of animal skins and a skinned hare in the other hand, and strode towards the door.Rong Niang hurriedly called Pei Ye to stop, and whispered a few words in his ear, Pei Ye looked a little unhappy when he heard the words, but he didn't refute anything.

Chi Jingyao was afraid that Pei Ye would run away without taking him with him, so he trotted behind Pei Ye.

"Second brother, let me get it for you." Chi Jingyao pointed to the hare in Pei Ye's hand and said.

Pei Ye subconsciously wanted to refuse, but after glancing at Chi Jingyao's outstretched hand, he still handed the hare to him.

Chi Jingyao looked at the hare in his hand. He didn't expect that Pei Ye's prey would not only be sold for the skin, but even the meat would not be willing to eat.

But after thinking about it, he also understood that the Pei family had Pei Yuan who was ill all the year round, so naturally he had to save food and money.

Although Chi Jingyao has only been to Pei's house for less than a day, he can already feel the family's hardship.Needless to say, daily life, eating and drinking is extremely simple, but Chi Jingyao doesn't care about these, he is not a person who cannot bear hardships.

Chi Jingyao secretly made up his mind that when he earns more points from Pei Ye, he must exchange for more food in the mall to "subsidize" Pei's food.At that time, if Pei Ye is happy, his strategy speed will be faster and he will be able to get more points.

The abacus in Chi Jingyao's heart was crackling, and he couldn't help laughing.

Pei Ye glanced at him inexplicably, with a "fool" expression on his face.

Chi Jingyao: ...

When the two arrived at Lao Qian's house, Pei Ye signaled Chi Jingyao to give Lao Qian the hare in his hand.

It was only then that Chi Jingyao realized that the hare was not for sale, but a "fare" for Lao Qian.

Lao Qian is also a kind person.In the past few years, Rong Niang often took a mule cart to the county town to get medicine for Pei Yuan, and Pei Ye often took a car to the county town to sell animal skins, but Lao Qian pitied the Pei family for having a seriously ill son, and never took in the money for the car from his mother and Pei Ye. .Later, Rong Niang felt sorry, so she often asked Pei Ye to distribute some of the prey he had caught to the old Qian's family.

"Hey, did you bring your little girl with you when you went to the county today?" Old Qian's wife teased Pei Ye.

Seeing that Pei Ye's face was not very good-looking, Chi Jingyao on the side whispered, "Second brother, I want to go to the latrine."

Pei Ye responded, and Chi Jingyao turned around and ran away when he saw this.

Seeing that Pei Ye didn't follow, he ran wildly towards the house of the sister who took in Ruan Baozi yesterday.

When Ruan Baozi saw Chi Jingyao, who was out of breath, he was both surprised and happy.

Chi Jingyao didn't come back last night, so he thought Chi Jingyao was lost.

Chi Jingyao didn't say much to him, just gave him a few hasty instructions, and then took out a few eggs and a few sweet potatoes from his pocket.That was what he exchanged in the system mall, 3 points for an egg, 2 points for a sweet potato, Chi Jingyao spent a total of 20 points in exchange for these things.

Ruan Baozi was somewhat apologetic for letting Baozi live and eat for nothing.

Only in this way, he now only has 60 points left.

Chi Jingyao put the eggs and sweet potatoes in Ruan Baozi's hands, but after learning about his intentions yesterday, the woman refused to accept them anyway.

The man in her family goes out hunting or doing some work during the day, and she stays at home alone with the children and takes care of the housework, so she is often overwhelmed.After Ruan Baozi arrived, he happened to be able to coax the little doll for him, but it was a great help.The implication is that Ruan Baozi can stay here for a longer time, which is what she wished for.

Chi Jingyao was relieved when he heard the words, and then ran away in a hurry after explaining a few more words.

He went back and forth this time, although it wasn't too far, but he spent a lot of effort.

When Chi Jingyao arrived at the alley of Lao Qian's house, he saw Pei Ye waiting there with frowning eyebrows.

"Which hut did you go to?" Pei Ye asked.

"Over there." Chi Jingyao stretched out his hand and pointed casually.

Pei Ye didn't know whether he believed it or not, he just gave Chi Jingyao a meaningful look, and didn't ask any more questions.

At this moment, Lao Qian's mule cart was also packed, and Chi Jingyao found that there were not only animal skins brought by Pei Ye, but also things that others entrusted Lao Qian to sell.It turned out that Laoqian was in the village, not only doing the business of pulling carts and picking people up, but also selling goods for people, earning a little money from the middle.

"Second brother, why didn't Old Uncle Qian help you sell the animal skins you got? You have to make a trip by yourself." Sitting on the mule cart, Chi Jingyao had nothing to say.

"It's nothing to do." Pei Ye said.He obviously had no desire to chat, and the reason why he talked to Chi Jingyao was probably because he was afraid that the little thing would cry, and if he did cry, he would have to coax him, which would be even more troublesome.

Chi Jingyao pointed to the pile of animal skins again, and asked, "Second brother, did you beat these?"

"En." Pei Ye responded.

"Second brother, you are amazing." Chi Jingyao said.

What he said was not all flattery. Chi Jingyao had only seen hunting in novels and film and television works before, and he always felt that those hunters in ancient times had a kind of "master" filter.After all, hunting is no longer allowed in modern society due to various reasons, and Pei Ye was the first living hunter he met.

Thinking of this, Chi Jingyao looked at Pei Ye with a bit of "appreciation".

Pei Ye felt uncomfortable being watched by him, so he simply turned his back to him.

Facing Pei Ye's back, Chi Jingyao sighed softly, and thought to himself, "Boss", he must have reached puberty.

It seems that many teenagers will become quiet when they reach puberty, and it seems that the boss is no exception.

"What do you want to do in the county seat?" Pei Ye asked Chi Jingyao when he was almost at the county seat.

Chi Jingyao thought for a while, and instead of hiding it from him, he whispered in his ear: "I want to report to the government."

Pei Ye was startled, a trace of doubt flashed across his face.

Chi Jingyao said again: "That day I saw Ren Yazi with many children."

Pei Ye glanced at Chi Jingyao, seemed to understand something, and said, "The people in the yamen don't care, there are people doing business in the county market, and sometimes there are people who sell their children and daughters, how do you manage?" ?”

"Don't you care about anything?" Chi Jingyao asked.

He was mentally prepared for this, but it was still hard to accept the words. It is a pity that this is not a modern society, and people are divided into different classes. Some people are sold into slavery and prostitution, and no one cares.

Pei Ye thought for a while, and said, "It's not that I don't care about it at all, it depends on the mood of the county master."

"That is possible." Chi Jingyao said: "I want to report to the official for a try, second brother."

Pei Ye finally nodded, and after the mule cart entered the county seat, he said something to Lao Qian, and then took Chi Jingyao to the gate of the county government office.

Chi Jingyao stood outside the county office and watched for a long time, but did not move for a long time.

"Don't want to go?" Pei Ye asked.

"Second brother, do you know any big families in the county?" Chi Jingyao asked suddenly.

Pei Ye thought about it and asked, "Does the sheriff count?"

"What's the county guard's last name?" Chi Jingyao asked.

"My surname is Li." Pei Ye said.

Chi Jingyao thought for a while, took a deep breath, and walked towards the grievance drum at the gate of the county government office.

Seeing this, Pei Ye grabbed him by the back of his neck and led the people towards the official post at the gate of the county government office.

Chi Jingyao:? ? ?

Don't the reporter need to beat the drum first?It's not quite the same as he thought.

If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have to do so much foreshadowing.

When the officer heard that Chi Jingyao was going to report to the officials, he looked like he didn't want to talk to him, but after seeing the young man behind him, his attitude slowed down a little, and he led the two of them into the county office.

The reporter was indeed different from what Chi Jingyao thought. They were not taken to the lobby, but to the county master's study.

The person who received them was a teacher from the county government. He looked like a scholar in his 40s.

Chi Jingyao told the master everything he knew about Ren Yazi, only concealing the fact that he and Ruan Baozi escaped, and lied that he accidentally ran across it.The master didn't pay much attention to what he said at first, but seeing that although he was young, he spoke clearly, and when he said things in a more orderly manner, he couldn't help listening seriously.

"If it wasn't for Xiaomin's sister who heard a young master inside shouting that he was the son of the shopkeeper Niu Da in the county, Xiaomin wouldn't dare to bring him to bother the old master." Pei Ye suddenly said, "Although I don't know where it is. Is it true that your young master is lying, but if it is really the child of some noble family, if Ren Yazi sells it off, I'm afraid it will implicate our Elder Master in the investigation, after all, Ren Yazi came from our county."

Chi Jingyao was startled when he heard the words, and subconsciously glanced at Pei Ye.

This was what he was going to say, but Pei Ye preempted it.

But I have to say, these words from Pei Ye's mouth are indeed more powerful than his little doll's.

Sure enough, as soon as the master heard that there might be a young master from a noble family, he immediately frowned and asked for a lot of details.

After all, the shopkeeper Niu Da in this county that Pei Yekou said was not an ordinary person.

"Second brother, how do you know what I want to ask the nobleman in your county?" After coming out of the county office, Chi Jingyao asked Pei Ye.

Pei Ye glanced at him lightly, and said, "Do I look like a fool?"

Chi Jingyao smiled, and it wasn't a question of whether he was a fool or not, it was just that Pei Ye guessed what he was thinking based on just one question, which really surprised him.

After Chi Jingyao heard from Pei Ye that the county master probably wouldn't want to take care of this kind of thing, he thought about trying to get some nobles to come in, so maybe the county master would take care of it when he heard that it was too involved.Judging by the face of the master, this trick really worked.

"But... why did the second brother change Li Junshou into Niu shopkeeper?" Chi Jingyao asked puzzled.

"The magistrate of the county is a subordinate official of the county magistrate, and he might even know the young master of the Li family." Pei Ye said, "If you want to flirt, you have to flirt with someone he doesn't know, right?" The details of the abducted son can easily give away his feet.

Chi Jingyao suddenly realized when he heard the words, and thought that Pei Ye had robbed him of his words because he was afraid that he would reveal his secrets.

"Second brother, you are so smart." Chi Jingyao said to Pei Ye with his small face up.

Pei Ye looked down at him with complicated eyes.

In contrast, he felt that this little thing was too smart.

No matter how you look at it, this kind of thought doesn't look like what a six or seven-year-old milk doll should have.
