Empress, your husband is invincible

The little brother surnamed Zhang hadn't finished expressing his feelings, and suddenly there was a very dissatisfied coughing sound behind him.

The little brother surnamed Zhang suddenly fell silent, and turned around with a smile.

"Boss Li..."

Ye Cheng subconsciously turned around following him.

Isn't it the old shopkeeper of the small noodle stall, Lao Litou, and a skinny eight or nine-year-old boy who is held tightly by him?
Bringing Ye Cheng to meet the master, and the master heard the bad words, the little brother surnamed Zhang babbled a few words, and hurriedly stomped on the oil.

Ye Cheng stood opposite Mr. Li for a moment, but he didn't know what to say.

But before he could speak, Old Li suddenly coughed and spoke.

A pair of cloudy old eyes raised slightly, and Old Li looked straight at Ye Cheng:

"Ahem... I remember you, you are the son who didn't pay for the noodles before."

Ye Cheng was suddenly embarrassed.

"Grandpa, my grandma said, be kind to others..."

Just when Ye Cheng was in embarrassment, the little boy who was being led by old boss Li suddenly spoke.

Ye Cheng suddenly remembered something, took out the 50 tael bank note from his sleeve, and stuffed it into Old Li's hand.

"It was too hasty that day, which made me a little embarrassed. Today, the junior deliberately came to make up for the face money that day, and I hope the old shopkeeper doesn't care about it."

Old Li took the banknote and looked at it, then looked up at Ye Cheng without saying a word.

Ye Cheng thought he had lived two lifetimes, and he could be called well-informed, but he felt a little timid in front of Old Li's cloudy eyes that occasionally had a hint of other meaning.

But before he wanted to leave, Old Li stuffed the banknote back into his hand.

"Too much, old man, I can't find it."

Ye Cheng was stunned again for an instant.

This old boss Li is actually quite principled?
Before Ye Cheng finished expressing his emotions, he heard Old Li boss continue saying:
"The little old man thinks that the young master looks like a person who can write and draw? What do you think?

The little old man didn't accept any money.How about you come and say a few words for my poor cousin? "

Ye Cheng frowned slightly, but he inadvertently met Old Li's pleading gaze, and instantly softened his heart.

"to make!"

After getting Ye Cheng's affirmative answer, old boss Li took his little grandson and led him into the dilapidated small courtyard.

The gate of the small courtyard is randomly woven with dead branches and leaves, and it can be opened as soon as it is pushed.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Ye Cheng's eyes were attracted by a newly dug hole in the corner of the wall.

The big hole was obviously just dug out not long ago, and the soil piled up around it looked wet.

And in the big pit, there is a simple coffin made of several broken planks.

The coffin hadn't been closed yet, so Ye Cheng happened to see a set of watchman's clothes spread out inside the coffin that was stained with unknown dirt.

"That's my poor cousin, with no bones left..."

Sensing Ye Cheng's gaze, Old Li boss immediately answered with neither sadness nor joy.

Ye Cheng was silent for a moment.

Pushing the little grandson into the room, Old Li took out a broken shovel and a small jar of wine from the room.

When he got to the deep pit, Mr. Li suddenly remembered something.He slapped his head, turned around and returned to the room, and took out another broken inkstone plate and an ink block.

"Master, I'm sorry to trouble you. Help me, old brother, and mention a few lines."

Putting the broken inkstone plate and ink block together with a mud basin of water beside the mud pit, Old Li pointed to Ye Cheng at a piece of wood lying on the side of the mound.

Ye Cheng nodded, and immediately sat down cross-legged regardless of the mess, and started grinding.

Seeing Ye Cheng's appearance, Old Li's head paused, and began to jump into the pit, solemnly closing the crude coffin.Then, he began to lift the shovel and move the soil into the pit.

"Wow wow wow..."

With the rubbing sound of the soil falling on the coffin board, Ye Cheng also completely cut the ink block.

Ye Cheng turned his head to look at Old Li, thought for a while and said:
"Old shopkeeper, tell me about your cousin's life. If there are any wonderful and turbulent experiences, you can talk about them..."

Mr. Li was probably a little exhausted. Holding the shovel, after panting for a while in the tunnel, he said with a wry smile:

"Son, to be honest. This old guy is not my cousin. Moreover, until today, I don't know his real name..."

Ye Cheng was taken aback for a moment.

This……

What the hell is this?
"But this guy is a brother who is closer than a brother in this life of the little old man!"

Seeing Ye Cheng's expression, Mr. Li suddenly shook his head and gave a wry smile. He took the wine jar beside him and uncorked it, took a big gulp, and then sprinkled it on the ground.

"As for the first and last name, just write his name when I first met him—Xiao Shisan!"

Ye Cheng nodded, and solemnly wrote "Xiao Shisan" on the raised part of the wooden board.

"When the old man knew him, it was a bit embarrassing to say... But after so long, the old man is about to die, so I don't want to hide it anymore!"

His back was slightly straightened, and there was a hint of pride on Old Li's face.

"In the 13th year of the first emperor Tianshun, I fled from the frontier army and returned home, little old man."

Ye Cheng was taken aback for a moment, and the tip of his pen trembled instantly.

How is this different from what the little brother surnamed Zhang told me?

But at this moment, old boss Li didn't notice these details at all.

After taking another sip of his wine, Mr. Li sat down on the mud pile, and his cloudy eyes became faintly clear.

"At that time, the little old man didn't call him that name. Well, yes, when this idiot robbed me in Jingmao Mountain, the little old man told him that his name was 'Xue Liu'..."

As Old Li's memories deepened, Ye Cheng was dragged into his memories unknowingly.

Xue Liu and Xiao Shisan's first acquaintance was an out-and-out oolong.

One is a deserter and the other is a stupid bandit.

In that ridiculous tribulation, Xiao Shisan awakened another "talent" of Xue Liu.

I don't know what kind of mental journey he has gone through. In short, the deserter Xue Liu became the eldest brother of the bandit Xiao Shisan. After a simple vow, the two went down the mountain together to make a "big fortune".

The so-called "big deal" that the two of them were eyeing was a small village in a mountain depression.

It's a bit funny to say, although they are going to make a big fortune, but the two of them only have two half broken simple knives.

Before entering the village, the two ate up all the dry food on their bodies.

The village occupies a small area, and there are only about a dozen families living there, with a total of less than 100 people.

Probably because they had never met outsiders before, when Xue Liu and Xiao Shisan entered the village, a dozen or so children from the village immediately surrounded them.

After asking the half-grown boy in charge about the "richest man" in the village and Lizheng's courtyard, the two of Xiao Xue immediately formulated a specific "tactic".
