MTL - Rebirth of Glory and Splendour-Chapter 20 benefactor
Yi Yin was completely shocked. How sacred is Huo Qingyang? He could actually find these things in the desolate mountain forest.
Wei Zhao was also a little moved when he saw this situation. Could it be that he really thought too much, Huo Qingyang was a kind-hearted young man who was dedicated to kindness and was eager to help others. He didn't want anything from them.
Huo Qingyang didn't care what Wei Zhao and Yi Yin thought, he cleaned up the two pheasants, one stewed the soup and the other roasted on the fire, and then turned to clean up the deer.
Wei Zhao gently turned the branches through the roasted chicken to let it heat evenly, but his mind was obviously not on the roasted chicken. Looking at Huo Qingyang's busy back, Wei Zhao's eyes narrowed, and he didn't know what to think.
The two pheasants were guarded by Wei Zhao, and Yi Yin had no use, so he squatted beside him and watched Huo Qingyang kill the deer. He is skilled in swordsmanship and quick in movements, and quickly dismantles the deer into eight pieces.
Considering that three people couldn't eat so much meat, Huo Qingyang marinated most of the venison with salt, and planned to take it with him to reserve food on the road, leaving only two venison legs for roasting tonight.
Even so, Yi Yin still thought it was too much, so he said: "Brother Qingyang, there are only three of us, can we eat two pheasants and two deer legs?" Considerable, he is afraid of waste.
"Of course I can finish it." Huo Qingyang said without raising his head, "I can eat a pheasant and a deer leg by myself, can't you two finish it? I'm still worried about not eating enough, thinking about it. Would you like to cut another piece of venison?"
Yi Yin quickly waved his hand and said hurriedly: "Enough is enough, this is enough, you must not cut it anymore, it would be a pity if you can't finish it if you make too much."
"Really?" Huo Qingyang was dubious, looked Yi Yin up and down, and teased: "I see you are so strong, and I thought you could eat well, just like when I was a child."
Yiyin looked down, looking down at his slender arms and legs. No, after returning to the Central Plains, he must practice martial arts diligently, and he must never grow into a plump figure like Pei Di.
Huo Qingyang didn't notice Yi Yin's "sorrow", and said to himself: "When I was a child, my mother's biggest worry was that there was not enough food at home. She and her sister often saved their own rations and left it to me and my father. Unfortunately…"
Yi Yin didn't answer, because no matter in his lifetime, he never had the experience of not having enough to eat, and Huo Qingyang didn't finish his words, just listening to his inaudible sigh, Yi Yin could guess that his family, There must have been some misfortune.
Just when the two were in an awkward scene with nothing to say, Wei Zhao's voice floated at the right time: "The pheasant is roasted and ready to eat, don't you want to roast the deer leg? Why don't you bring it over quickly?"
When Huo Qingyang heard the words, he immediately picked up the deer's leg and said loudly, "I'll be here soon." Yi Yin stood up, rubbed his numb calf, and moved over.
Wei Zhao divided the roast chicken into three portions, the largest portion was given to Huo Qingyang, and he and Yi Yin shared the rest equally. The chicken in the crock pot is more troublesome, because they don't have chopsticks, and they are too reckless to fish directly from the soup with their hands.
Huo Qingyang thought for a while, then went outside to break a few thin branches, rinsed them in the creek, and took them back to serve as chopsticks.
For the past ten days, Yi Yin had eaten either barbecued meat or wild fruits every day. He had long been tired of eating it. Today, seeing the stewed pheasant soup that he had not seen for a long time, he couldn't help but have a great appetite. Even Wei Zhao used it more than before.
After scooping up the pheasant chicken in the crock pot, Huo Qingyang and Yi Yin reached an agreement without negotiation, that is, the pot of chicken soup, all to Wei Zhao to solve.
Before Wei Zhao could say anything against it, they each picked up a deer leg and feasted. Huo Qingyang was fine. Although his face was childish, his figure was that of an adult, but Yi Yin, who was so petite, looked very funny with a deer leg in his arms.
Of course, Yi Yin didn't finish eating the deer leg, at least two-thirds of it was solved by Huo Qingyang.
After dinner, Wei Zhao told Yi Yin a story, and Huo Qingyang listened in. Only then did Yi Yin know that Wei Zhao could tell nice stories, but he didn't tell them before. He insisted on telling him the history of Dayan, which made him drowsy.
But no matter how well Wei Zhao's story is told, Yi Yin is not at the age to like listening to stories, so his expression has always been calm, but Huo Qingyang listened with great interest.
When Wei Zhao asked Yi Yin to sleep, he still asked if he could continue talking tomorrow, leaving Yi Yin speechless.
After a night of rest, Wei Zhao's physical condition improved significantly, and Huo Qingyang politely refused to carry him again.
Huo Qingyang still didn't give up and insisted on his own opinion. Wei Zhao was helpless, so he pointed at Yi Yin and said, "A Yin has short legs and can't walk fast. If you don't think it's troublesome, just carry him on your back."
Who would have thought that Huo Qingyang shook his head and curled his lips: "I don't want to carry him, the little guy is chubby, so he should be more active, so as not to grow fatter in the future."
Yi Yin was first disliked by Wei Zhao for his short legs, and then complained by Huo Qingyang for being fat. He simply didn't want to pay attention to them. Where did he have short legs, and how did he get fat? Pei Di was two years older than him, and he was only a little taller than him. Besides, he was strong, not fat.
In the end, Huo Qingyang carried the rest of the venison and their luggage, and Wei Zhao led Yi Yin on the journey home.
Yi Yin has always felt that Huo Qingyang is a typical two-faced person. He talks to Wei Zhao in a warm and friendly tone, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. When he talks to him, every sentence is provocative, as if it is fun to make him angry.
However, although Huo Qingyang's mouth was a little annoying at times, he still took the initiative to slow down his pace to match Wei Zhao's body and Yi Yin's age.
Not only that, Huo Qingyang was very familiar with the terrain of Tianmen Mountain, and they had arranged their daily meals and camping at night.
Two days later, they could no longer see the steep Feiyi Peak in their field of vision. Huo Qingyang said that this is entering the territory of Dayan.
Although they hadn't left the mountain, Wei Zhao and Yi Yin were still relieved when they heard Huo Qingyang's words. This means that they are already safe, and it is impossible for Fuyu's pursuers to go deep into Dayan.
Looking at the boundless Lin Hai in front of him, Yi Yin asked, "Brother Qingyang, when can we get to the border town?"
Huo Qingyang raised his eyebrows and said, "According to our current speed, it will take another four days. If it were me alone, two and a half days would be enough, less than three days."
"Only four days? So fast?" Yi Yin heard people say before that Feiyi Peak is located in the middle of Tianmen Mountain. It took them nearly ten days to walk from the mountain to Feiyi Peak, and then came out from Feiyi Peak. It should be about right.
Huo Qingyang didn't understand why Yi Yin was so surprised, but he heard Wei Zhao say indifferently, "It seems that we made a lot of detours on the mountain in the past few days."
Yi Yin nodded in agreement with lingering fears. If they hadn't met Huo Qingyang, let alone four days, they might still be circling in the mountains for another ten days. Huo Qingyang said that they were lucky, and it was not unreasonable.
Huo Qingyang's estimation of the time and distance was very accurate. On the afternoon of the fourth day, they arrived at the border town before sunset. Huo Qingyang kindly invited Wei Zhao and Yi Yin to be guests at home, saying that he was the only one at home and it was very convenient to do things.
Wei Zhao looked at the clothes that he and Yi Yin had been wearing for a long time, and nodded in agreement. It was okay to be in the mountains before, but now in the city, it is a bit shameful to dress in this way.
Huo Qingyang brought Wei Zhao and his son home, and the first thing he did was to boil water to bathe them. As for himself, he flushed when he was fetching water from the well.
Wei Zhao's figure was similar to Huo Qingyang's. They were both thin and fit enough to wear his clothes, but Wei Zhao was half a head taller than Huo Qingyang. His trousers were obviously shorter and his calf was showing. Fortunately, In summer, it's okay.
Yi Yin was pitiful. The Huo family had no clothes that he could wear, so he could only wrap Huo Qingyang's shirt as a robe. Huo Qingyang said, let him stay for one night, and tomorrow he will go to the east of the village and lend him the clothes of Lizheng's little grandson.
With people under the roof, Yi Yin would naturally not be picky. Besides, he and Wei Zhao had already troubled Huo Qingyang a lot along the way, so why would he have the nerve to ask for it?
The next day, Huo Qingyang really brought Yi Yin clothes, not the coarse shirt he imagined, but fine linen. In addition, Huo Qingyang also brought Wei Zhao a set of muslin clothes, and they were brand new.
Wei Zhao and Yi Yin looked at each other, and both saw doubts in each other's eyes. Huo Qingyang's own clothes were still rough, with patches on his shoulders and knees. Why would they lend them such fine clothes, and why would they lend them to him?
Wei Zhao didn't want to disturb Huo Qingyang for too long. After changing his clothes, he wanted to take Yi Yin to say goodbye. He said that he was penniless and could not thank Huo Qingyang for the time being, but when he returned to Yujing, he would definitely send someone to thank him.
Huo Qingyang shook his head repeatedly, saying that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, and he does not need them to repay. He also left Wei Zhao and Yi Yin to live for a few more days to take care of their health. Besides, the border town is thousands of miles away from Yujing, so it's not like they can walk away.
If they are not in a hurry, they might as well wait a few days for him to bring the game brought out from the mountains to the county town and exchange them for silver taels, so that they can be entangled, and they can also hire a car or something, and he has nothing to do, just in time You can send them back to Yujing.
Suddenly, Wei Zhao's expression changed suddenly, and he said sternly, "Huo Qingyang, who are you? What are your motives for approaching our father and son?"
For a long time, Wei Zhao had contradictory views on Huo Qingyang. His appearance was too sudden, and he was too kind to them. Wei Zhao could not convince himself that he had no purpose. However, he observed Huo Qingyang all the way, but couldn't see anything wrong with him.
Originally, Wei Zhao planned not to scrutinize it any further and left with Yi Yin directly, because Huo Qingyang really wanted something from him, and as long as it was reasonable and reasonable, he would never refuse.
Unexpectedly, Huo Qingyang came out like this. They met by chance and offered help. These can be said to be warmhearted, but Huo Qingyang himself was very poor, and he still wanted to entangle them, and even wanted to send them back to Beijing in person. Wei Zhao couldn't help but improve. alert.
Huo Qingyang looked straight at Wei Zhao, not avoiding his scrutiny. After a moment of silence, he knelt down on one knee and said sternly: "His Royal Highness's life-saving grace is unforgettable, and the mere return is nothing."
As soon as these words came out, Wei Zhao and Yi Yin were both dumbfounded, who saved whom.
