Chapter 45: Pei's Master and Servant (Gageng)
Chapter 45 Pei's master and servant (plus more)
"Hey, don't cry!" Ye Anlan was a little numb, and still had a guilty conscience, she said to the child: "Then do you know where your brother is?"
"Someone said they saw him in Yuyang County." The child wiped away tears, sobbing, "So I'm going to Yuyang County."
Ye Anlan rubbed the space between her eyebrows, "Do you know where Yuyang County is? Do you know how long it takes to get there? Do you know how many malicious people like them are along the way?"
The child stopped talking for a moment, but his stubborn expression was silently telling his stubbornness—he had made up his mind to go to Yuyang County.
Ye Anlan sighed, "Why don't you come with us? We will also pass by Yuyang County."
The child suddenly became happy, "Hey? Really? Can I?"
Ye Anlan nodded, "You boy, do you want me to wake him up for you?"
The child hesitated for a moment, "Will it have a bad influence on him?"
Ye Anlan shook her head, "No, it's just pinching someone."
As soon as the child heard it, he immediately stretched out his hand towards the boy.
"Master, master?" The boy who woke up was confused for a moment, but soon he recalled what happened before, and he jumped up, "Quick, master, find a place to hide .”
The child patted his servant's arm, "Qingchun, don't be nervous, we are safe now."
He wanted to introduce Ye Anlan to the boy, but found that he hadn't asked the other person's name at all.
"Pei Huaixiu, I don't know what to call your brother?"
"Ye Anlan."
The child nodded slightly, then turned around and told his servant, "Brother Ye is very powerful, he solved those cannibalistic refugees and saved us."
Little fellow Qingchun was taken aback. He never expected that this kid, who was not much older than his young master, could save them from fire and water with one enemy.
After thanking Ye Anlan solemnly, Qingchun briefly asked a few words about what happened to his young master after he fell into a coma.
Hearing that Pei Huaixiu said that he was almost eaten by those refugees, Qingchun was both afraid and grateful.
Without saying a word, he kowtowed to Ye Anlan three times while kneeling on the ground. The movement was so loud that Ye Anlan's forehead ached from hearing it.
Pei Huaixiu also had a look of distress. He grew up with Qingchun, and Qingchun gave up his life to protect him along the way. To Qingchun, he really regarded him as an older brother.
He stretched out his hand to pull Qing Chun up, and belatedly made a solemn bow, thanking Ye Anlan for saving her life.
Ye Anlan didn't take it seriously, it was just a matter of little effort anyway.
She brought the pair of master and servant back to the camp, and then asked Zheng Fengshou to pour hot water for them, and took coarse grain pancakes and dried meat.
If it was in the past, Pei Huaixiu would not eat this kind of rough food, but during the past month when he was away from home, not to mention delicacies from mountains and seas, many times Pei Huaixiu couldn't even eat hot food. Gone.
He washed his hands, grabbed coarse grain pancakes and jerky, and slowly gnawed them in hot water, eating them with relish.
Ye Anlan yawned and threw them two old quilts, "There is a bed made of dead branches over there, so you can spend the night by the fire."
Even if Pei Huaixiu came from a wealthy family, it is impossible for Ye Anlan to give up her tent to them. Therefore, the master and servant received the same material treatment as the Yang family.
***
After sleeping deeply for more than two hours, Ye Anlan came out of the tent, took the hot water that Mrs. Li gave her, and quickly began to wash.
At the same time, Ye Jinkui and Zheng Fengshou finished their task of vigil and went back to the tent together to catch up on sleep.
Mrs. Li and Aunt Su took out the rice noodles and began to prepare breakfast and dry food. After washing up, Ye Anlan began to guide Ye Song and others to practice martial arts in a targeted manner.
The couple of the Yang family, who had just arrived for the first time, were not idle. They did not dare to intervene rashly in other matters, so they took the initiative to go to the surrounding area to help collect firewood.
As for Yang Xiaomei and Yang Xiaotao, after the two girls washed up, Ye Anlan called them over to practice martial arts together.
Little fellow Qingchun saw it, and couldn't help but think carefully, he asked Pei Huaixiu, "Master, do you think I can practice martial arts with them too?"
Pei Huaixiu was a little surprised, "I asked you to practice martial arts before, didn't you always feel tired?"
Qing Chun scratched his head, "But I don't want you to encounter the same thing before."
Pei Huaixiu was silent for a moment, "Then let me ask Mr. Ye."
"It's not Mr. Ye, it's Miss Ye." Ye Anlan's hearing is very good. Although the voices of the master and servant are not too loud, she still hears them seriously.
She beckoned to Pei Huaixiu and Qingchun, as if she didn't see the cracked facial expressions of the two, "If you want to learn, come here, I just happen to be teaching with you."
Anyway, it's not something that needs to be kept secret, and it doesn't involve her seemingly unreliable teacher.
It took Pei Huaixiu a while to recover, "You, are you a woman?"
Ye Anlan nodded, "Everything was inconvenient last night, I didn't have time to tell you in detail, it was not intentional concealment."
Pei Huaixiu had a complicated expression. He felt a little shocked that he and his boy, the two of them, were actually rescued by a girl about his age. In particular, last night, he seemed to be pulling his trousers, begging for help
Being ashamed and thrown to grandma's house, Pei Huaixiu felt that he could no longer look directly at Ye Anlan's black face.
By the way, to paint one's face into black charcoal, is this really a ruthless hand that a girl can do to herself?
With her mind in a mess, Pei Huaixiu was dragged by her own servant to join the big team practicing martial arts.
This group of people started training at different times, and their physical fitness was also different. Soon, the young and poor physical fitness all ran to the side to rest one after another.
Only Yang Xiaotao, whom Ye Anlan placed high hopes on, and Ye Song, who already had a certain level of skill, held their breath and persisted until Mrs. Li greeted everyone for dinner.
Breakfast is very common chicken and millet porridge and coarse grain pancakes, while the dry food for lunch is palm-sized pancakes baked together with white flour and miscellaneous grain noodles.
"Here are your cups and bowls and chopsticks. Make a mark so that you don't get them confused. If you run out, you have to clean them yourself."
"So did the quilt you used last night"
"And the most important point, don't be so kind! Without my permission, no one is allowed to approach other refugees casually, let alone give food and water or rescue people. Do you understand?"
Pei Huaixiu nodded halfway, and realized what Ye Anlan said, and her two slender eyebrows couldn't help but slightly frowned.
Ye Anlan knew it would be like this. The pampered young master who is innocent and ignorant of worldly affairs, even though he has suffered a bit after leaving home, he still doesn't have a deep understanding of the cruelty of this world.
Plus that he has also experienced hardships, and he can easily empathize with those refugees who are frowning and feel sorry for them.
