Chapter 121

Xue Shuiwu was stunned again. In the days that she was with Ye Xiaotian, she was either blushing or in a daze. There was really no other reaction.

In her heart, it was as tragic as the sky falling down. Why did this Brother Ye …. What was his brain made out of?

Xue Shuiwu naturally did not know that Ye Xiaotian had always had this kind of personality. His skin was thick, but his heart was even thicker.

Xue Shuiwu was stunned for a long time. Then she twisted the corner of her clothes and said embarrassedly, "Brother Ye, you …. Don't joke with me. Shuiwu's marriage was decided by my parents when I was young. Shuiwu is just a little girl. How would I dare to make a decision on my own and go against my parents' orders? "

Ye Xiaotian said, "I am not joking with you. After talking for half a day, aren't you just worried about your parents' orders? I will certainly make your father and mother change their minds. As for that Xie something Feng, you don't need to worry about him. When I, Ye Xiaotian, make a move, he will definitely back off. He is simply courting death! "

Xue Shuiwu said hesitantly, "But my mother said that a good horse does not match two saddles. A good girl does not marry two men. Young Miss also said that a girl should be faithful to one until the end. My family and the Xie family have already exchanged marriage certificates. Although we have not bowed to heaven and earth and gotten married, but I ….. can also be considered as a member of the Xie family ….. "

Ye Xiaotian said, "If that's the case ….. then there will be some trouble. Your family and the Xie family have exchanged marriage certificates. But you and I have just bowed to heaven and earth. So who should you be faithful to until the end? "

"Of course it's Brother Xiaotian!" Le Yao stood at the door and clapped loudly.

At the side, Fuwa was working hard to eat bamboo shoots. At such a young age, it had now become Le Yao's follower. It liked to imitate Le Yao in everything. Seeing Le Yao clapping, Fuwa was stunned for a moment. It hurriedly threw the bamboo shoot at its feet and clapped its two bear paws.

Xue Shuiwu could not stand it anymore. She was full of worries. She was dumbfounded by Ye Xiaotian's words. She did not know whether to laugh or cry. So she got up in a panic and said while running, "Brother Ye, you ….. you should rest early. We … we can talk tomorrow … …"

… …

The next morning, the family of four sat in a daze in the ruined temple.

Fuwa held the bamboo shoot and chewed on it. This was the last bamboo shoot. Fuwa chewed on it with relish, completely unaware that it was about to run out of food.

Ye Xiaotian said, "Our money has been confiscated by the county government. We don't even have breakfast. Hey! In order to force me to submit, these officials have really used all kinds of methods. "

Shui Wu timidly said, "Big Brother Ye, how about … how about we agree to them? Xue Shuiwu said timidly, "Brother Ye, why don't ….. we agree with them? If we don't agree, they won't let us go. "

Ye Xiaotian chuckled coldly and shook his head. "You are a woman. How could you understand the twists and turns of these officials? I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as it seems."

"What?" Shuiwu widened her beautiful eyes in surprise.

Ye Xiaotian wanted to say something but stopped. He stood up and said, "We have to starve this morning. I will go out and find a job now. As long as I can earn enough money for three meals a day, it will be enough! They want to force me to give in? No way! "

"Brother Xiaotian!"

Le Yao suddenly called Ye Xiaotian. She turned to look at the temple gate and waved at Ye Xiaotian mysteriously.

Ye Xiaotian squatted down in front of her and asked, "What is it?"

Le Yao put her hand into her pocket and mysteriously took out a steamed bun. Ye Xiaotian widened his eyes in surprise.

Le Yao laughed and took out another steamed bun. Ye Xiaotian greedily asked, "Do you have more?"

Le Yao's face fell and she shook her head.

Xue Shuiwu came over and asked, "Where did you get the steamed bun?"

Le Yao whispered, "Yesterday in the kitchen of the posthouse. Hehe! The auntie who searched me didn't care. "

Ye Xiaotian murmured, "So there are benefits to being a foodie."

Le Yao grinned, "I used to be afraid of being hungry. I saw a basket full of steamed buns in the kitchen and no one was watching, so I took two."

Ye Xiaotian rubbed her head and gently embraced her. He said softly, "Don't worry. I won't let you go hungry with Brother Xiaotian in the future."

"Mhmm!"

Le Yao nodded vigorously, "Brother Xiaotian is the most capable!"

Ye Xiaotian smiled and said to Xue Shuiwu, "You and Yaoyao eat the steamed buns. You guys stay here. I'll go find a job. "

Xue Shuiwu stood up and said to Ye Xiaotian uneasily, "How about I go too? How can I let Brother Ye … you …"

Ye Xiaotian glared at her and said gruffly, "Nonsense! Marry a man, marry a man, wear clothes and eat! If he can't support you, what's the use of a man like him? You wait here, I'll go earn money! "

Although Ye Xiaotian's words still had the intention to take advantage of her, Xue Shuiwu didn't even refute it on the surface this time. She gently lowered her head and felt an indescribable warmth in her heart. Unfortunately, just as this feeling rippled in her heart, she was angered by Ye Xiaotian's next sentence.

"Besides, you're a troublemaker! Once you go out, I'll be too busy cleaning up after you. How will I have the time to earn money! "

Le Yao raised her face and innocently said to Ye Xiaotian, "Brother Xiaotian, can you really earn enough money to eat?"

Ye Xiaotian glanced at her and proudly raised his chin, "Who am I!"

Le Yao worriedly said, "You're Ye Xiaotian! Brother Xiaotian, how come you don't even remember your own name? "

Ye Xiaotian almost fell down. Xue Shuiwu, who had a dark expression, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Ye Xiaotian glared at the two troublemakers, one big and one small, then turned around and walked out of the temple.

… …

Li Yuncong and another official had changed into plain clothes. Before the city gates opened, they had already rushed over to keep an eye on them.

At night, the city gates were closed and it was difficult to enter or leave. Ye Xiaotian's two 'sisters' were both women. One of them was still a child, so there was no need to keep an eye on them. Ye Xiaotian couldn't fly away with them even if he had wings. He only needed to keep an eye on them during the day.

Ye Xiaotian didn't pay attention to them. He treated them like air and proudly walked past them. As he passed by, Li Yuncong giggled and said, "What do you think? Why don't you agree to our lord's request? "

Ye Xiaotian sneered and walked away.

Ye Xiaotian had a strong confidence in himself. Who am I? I'm someone who came from the Imperial City. How can such a small matter stump me? You country bumpkins! As long as I leak a word, won't you all be crying and begging me to come and work for you? Who wouldn't be willing, unless they were blind!

The confident 'city man' Ye Xiaotian began his job-hunting experience in Guizhou's Hulu County. He finally realized that the shopkeepers here were really blind.

… …

"You want to work in my shop? Okay, take a look. What kind of cloth is this? "

"This … … I don't know."

"Then take a look at this silk. Where did it come from?"

"This … … I don't know either."

"Get out!"

… …

"Do you speak Miao?"

"No, but I'm here to apply for a waiter position. Waiter only needs to know how to serve tea and water. Why … …"

"Do you speak Yi language?"

"No, shopkeeper, I'm here to … …"

"Then do you speak the local dialect?"

"No … …"

"Get out!"

… …

"You want to be a bodyguard? Your physique is a little thin. "

"Escort Chen, I may be weak, but I'm smart. Raising a flag, driving a carriage, setting up shop, searching for information, I can do all of that. "

"Do you know martial arts?"

"No, but I … …"

"It's fine if you have the strength. Come, pick up this stone dumbbell that weighs 120 Jin and show me how to swing it a few times. "

"120 catty?!!! Perform a few rounds?!!! No, no, no, I can't do it. If I'm not careful, I'll break my foot again … … "

"Get out!"

"Escort Chen, if you really can't … … I can be your strategist."

"Scram!"

… …

"Do you have a loud voice?"

"Yes! I understand. If you want to sell something, you need to know how to shout. Shopkeeper, listen to me, I'll shout for you. Cough, cough! 'Coriander, chili, green onions, celery, lentils, eggplant, cucumber, winter gourd, sea eggplant, radish, carrot, radish, Chinese toon sprouts, garlic chives ~ ~ ~' "

"… …"

"Shopkeeper, what do you think? I know you're a wine seller, so I'm just trying to clear my throat for you. "

"Can you fight?"

"Yes! Who doesn't know how to fight? There's no need to learn. "

"I'm asking, can you fight? Fight! Beat people up! "

The innkeeper brandished his fist, and struck a pose.

Ye Xiaotian was stunned. He stammered, "Selling wine … … I have to fight as well? Does your shop often fight? Oh! I remember now. A few days ago! Just a few days ago! A bare-legged girl broke your wine urn … … "

"Can you fight or not?"

"I don't hit women."

"What about men?"

"Your county's men are so strong. This kid isn't known for his strength … …"

"Get out!"

"Shopkeeper … …"

The two bare-chested men stepped forward and crossed their arms. They looked at Ye Xiaotian coldly.

Ye Xiaotian laughed and said, "Uh … … Brothers, your county's men are really strong!"

Ye Xiaotian hurriedly left the wine shop. He stood on the uneven, narrow, and long bluestone road and sighed, "Ai! Why can't anyone discover my strengths! "

Ye Xiaotian hurriedly ran through the streets and alleys. He ran into walls again and again until his back and legs ached. Not far away, Li Yuncong and another yamen runner were in an even worse state. They looked at Ye Xiaotian with a bitter expression on their faces. They supported their waists and looked at Ye Xiaotian weakly. They looked like they wanted to kill someone.

Night fell and the lanterns were lit. The city gates were already closed. Li Yuncong and the yamen runner were relieved. They finally gave up on following Ye Xiaotian and returned home. But Ye Xiaotian, who hadn't found a single job after a day, was too ashamed to return to the Earth Temple.

On the long street, some shops and people hung up red lanterns. The red lanterns enveloped the small street in a mysterious and serene atmosphere. Ye Xiaotian walked dejectedly. He felt his heels hurt. He saw a house with a large lintel hanging red lanterns, but the door was closed. He walked over and sat down on the threshold.

Ye Xiaotian leaned against the door and let out a long sigh. He thought gloomily, "When I came out today, I even boasted. If I go back like this, she'll definitely laugh at me. Even if she doesn't say it, she might even comfort me. But in her heart, she'll definitely laugh. But if I don't go back, where can I go? "

Ye Xiaotian's stomach growled. Ye Xiaotian rubbed his stomach and said self-deprecatingly, "Ye Xiaotian, ah, Ye Xiaotian, I didn't think you'd be in such a sorry state. When Qin Shubao was in trouble, at least he still had a horse to sell. What can you sell? "

Just as Ye Xiaotian said this, the courtyard door behind him suddenly opened. Ye Xiaotian, who was leaning against the door, didn't have time to react and somersaulted inside.
