The General Is As Urgent As Law

Chapter 4

I don't know how long it took before Jiang Ye woke up, and he slept in a ball leaning against the tree, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.He opened his eyes and saw the extinguished firewood in front of him. He didn't know that Wei Lin lit the fire last night. No wonder he didn't feel too cold, but he didn't see Wei Lin's shadow.

The snow had almost melted, exposing the bare ground, Jiang also looked around, wondering where Wei Lin had gone.He got up and moved his stiff body, and a strong sense of hunger came over him. Jiang Ye felt that it was not unreasonable for Wei Lin to teach him a lesson. It was really stupid to go out without dry food.But Jiang could laugh at himself, but Wei Lin couldn't say it. If Wei Lin said it, Jiang would be furious.

Just as he was thinking about where Wei Lin had gone, Jiang Ye heard hurried footsteps behind him. Looking back, it was indeed Wei Lin.Wei Lin's skirt was bulging, and he didn't know what he was wearing.

"woke up?"

"Well, where have you been?"

"Here." Wei Lin took out the bulging thing from his arms, which was wrapped in oiled paper, and a scent immediately wafted out, "You must be very hungry." As he said, he uncovered the oiled paper, and it turned out to be a Golden Roast Chicken.Jiang unconsciously swallowed, reached out to take the roast chicken and asked, "Where did it come from?"

"Is it still warm? There's a posthouse four or five miles ahead, I got it there."

"It's cold." Jiang also said.

"Then don't eat it." Wei Lin rolled his eyes, "I trot all the way back, and I put it in my clothes specially, so it's cold, and I can't help it."

"I didn't say no to eating."

"Then do you eat?"

"eat."

"Then you should eat."

Jiang Ye was really hungry, so he didn't care too much, so he opened his mouth to bite the roast chicken.Wei Lin watched him gobble it up, and couldn't help laughing: "Young master, if you are hungry, you are no different from jackals and tigers."

"Bah." Jiang also directly spat the chicken bone in his mouth at Wei Lin, "No one will treat you as dumb if you don't speak."

"whee."

"Do you have any money on you? You also buy roast chicken."

"No money."

"You stole it?"

"No, I bought it with money from you." Wei Lin said calmly.

Jiang Ye was holding the roast chicken in one hand, and touched his belt with the other hand. It was empty, and the purse had disappeared. He yelled at Wei Lin: "You still buy roast chicken if you don't have money?!"

"Isn't this your money? I think it's better to eat it. If it's white flour steamed buns, it might taste like bricks after returning from the cold weather." Wei Lin laughed and took out Jiang Ye's purse from his belt, " Don't worry, you still have money." As he spoke, he shook the money bag, and it was obvious that there was still something in it.

Jiang also had nothing to say. Although Wei Lin took his purse, he bought something for himself. If he was fussy, it would seem unkind.He hugged the grilled chicken, wrapped the chicken leg in oiled paper and tore off a large piece, and handed the rest to Wei Lin: "Eat it, I've had enough."

"No, you should eat more."

"Aren't you hungry?"

"Not hungry."

"Beggars are so resistant to hunger?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wei Lin suddenly became serious, and looked at him with straight eyes: "Your idea is not politically correct. Beggars are also human, so they will naturally be hungry."

"Then you are not hungry."

"Because I ate it."

"what did you eat?"

"I ate...roasted goose, braised fish, steamed hoof...forgot."

Jiang Ye stared like a copper bell, holding the chicken leg in his mouth, holding the remaining half of the roast chicken with one hand, and snatching the money bag from Wei Lin with the other.As soon as the money bag was in his hands, he already felt deeply unwell, the weight was far from what it was when he went out, he shook the opening downwards, and only a few pitiful pieces of silver fell out of the money bag.

"I brought 20 taels out, and now there are only seven taels of silver left, what did you eat!!!" Jiang Ye roared angrily.

"It's not... just, there are a few little beggars next to the post house, so I will share some with them."

"You prodigal bitch!!!"

"I'm a man, a big man, would you like me to take off my pants and show you?"

"Look at your head!"

"Okay, okay, do you want to see the top head or the bottom head?"

Jiang was also very angry, and bit the chicken leg with a big bite, as if he was going to eat Wei Lin alive.

"Don't look at me like that, as if you want to eat me."

"???"

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, eat chicken."

"roll."

Mixed with bickering and noise, Jiang lived up to Wei Lin's expectations and ate up the whole roast chicken, vomiting all the bones on Wei Lin.Although Wei Lin said it was naive, Jiang also rubbed the oil on Wei Lin's sleeve by the way.

According to what Wei Lin said, as long as he walks four or five miles, he can get a good night's sleep in the posthouse. Jiang also regrets that he went on the road recklessly. If he had thought of this earlier, he would rent a carriage and not have to sleep in the open last night. Oh no, not even meals, just camping.Thinking about it this way, Wei Lin is really good. He seems to be thinking about everything. As expected of a beggar, he seems to be well-informed in this regard.

Jiang also always felt that things were weird, and he didn't know if the remaining seven taels of silver were enough to live in the post house, and he couldn't spend all the money in the post house.Jiang also thought for a long time before he figured out what was wrong, so he asked Wei Lin who was walking in front, "How did you know that there is a post house four or five miles away?"

"Ok?"

"Don't you know that you dare to go out and wander around?"

"I have been to Yanzhou."

"Go for what?"

"I have been in Yanzhou for the past two years, but I came to Xiangcheng this year." Wei Lin said casually.

"Then what are you doing in Xiangcheng?"

"Looking for a job."

"Did you find a beggar?"

"Brother Jiang won't understand. Yanzhou is not rich, and the basic salary is low. How many people are going to Xiangcheng?"

That's true, there are indeed many people in the capital who do business from outside.The Jiang family was also 30 years ago. Mr. Jiang came to Xiangcheng empty-handed, and then built the Jiangfu today from nothing.

Mr. Jiang was not easy when he was young, he complained about others, but he did not give up hope, thinking of himself countless times

If the descendants of the famous family would not be poor and destitute, I have been tortured, and I take a gamble, and I don't want my offspring to be so miserable, so I insisted on letting Jiang Ye inherit the family business.

"What does that have to do with your begging?"

"People in the capital are stupid and have a lot of money. Even begging, they earn more than Yanzhou."

"Then you almost died."

"The so-called people don't fight against the sky, if the sky wants me to die, I will die, if it doesn't let me die... Didn't I meet you now?"

Wei Lin spoke very lightly. If he didn't know what kind of guy he was, he would sound like an expert who sees through the world.

"Ghost knows what wishful thinking you're planning."

"Okay, we will arrive at the post house in half an hour's walk." Wei Lin said.

Thinking of going to the post house to have a good rest, Jiang also felt a little better.

The two were walking when two masked men suddenly appeared in front of them. One of them just said, "I opened this road, and I planted this tree. If you want to..."

"Shut up you, you are really dirt."

The other person slapped the man directly on the back of the head, making him stagger, and then said: "Don't ink, quickly take out the money!" He took out a cloth wrapped in cloth from his back. It looked like a dagger in shape, pointing at Jiang Ye viciously.

"You two masters, this is..." Wei Lin hurried forward a little bit, bent over, with a groveling appearance, and a smile on his face.Jiang Ye couldn't see him like this the most, and kicked him in the hollow of his knee, so that he almost couldn't stand still: "Come on, you are robbing."

"That's right, can't you tell? It's easy to rob?" The masked man with the murder weapon followed Jiang Ye.

"It sounds like a southerner," Wei Lin said.

The person who was slapped before said without thinking: "Yes, how do you know?"

"Are you a fucking fool? Just answer what he says!" The murderer was furious, and kicked him out, "Stop talking nonsense, pay the money, and leave, or, eh?" He took a step forward, and the murder weapon was only one step away from Wei Lin. Wei Lin said with a mournful face, "We have no money."

"Who are you ignorant of? Wearing such beautiful leather, how can you have no money?"

"No!" Wei Lin hurriedly retreated to Jiang Ye's side, and stretched out his hand to pull the fox fur to show to the gangster, "Look, this is a fake, but it's actually made of weasel fur. Do you know how to cut down weasels? If they are worthless, just take them out." Put on the facade!"

He was talking to the gangster, and his accent changed.

"Why is that white?"

"Oh, it's dyed!"

"Keep the money, keep the leather, and leave." The villain said, "I won't beep with you."

Jiang also thought about it. He might not be able to beat a gangster with a murder weapon with his bare hands. If he lost his life, it would not be worth it. I'll throw you the money and leather."

"You're smart."

Jiang also found his money bag from Wei Lin's waistband, and threw it to the gangster along with the fox fur on his body.

While the gangster was bending over to pick it up, Jiang Ye grabbed Wei Lin's hand and ran away: "Run!"

Wei Lin was dragged by him like that, and the two panicked and ran with their heads buried in their heads. All in all, it was 36 tricks, and running was the best strategy.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Ye slipped on the sole of his foot and fell directly to the ground, tripping Wei Lin as well.It happened that the terrain was a small hill, and the two of them fell down the hill and rolled down the hill.

Accompanied by the rolling momentum of the two of them, Wei Lin's scream pierced the sky.

Wei Lin rolled fast, was stopped by a tree, and slammed into the tree trunk with his waist straight. I didn't even have the energy to scream.

"You... you... get up... I'm going to faint..."

Jiang Ye was in pain all over his body. He heard Wei Lin's words in a daze. He finally got up and fell to the ground, but found that his face was wet. Face all the way down.

Wei Lin waited for a while before getting up, and sat on the ground panting heavily. Seeing the wound on Jiang Ye's head, before he had time to check how he was doing, he tore off a piece of cloth from his sleeve, and carefully wiped it off for Jiang Ye. Blood on the face.

"Does it hurt..." He asked while rubbing it, but Jiang didn't speak, and just took a deep breath, which must have been very painful.

There is no good place left for the clothes on the two of them, and there are holes everywhere, which are tattered.There were also many large and small scratches on the face, and the surrounding area of ​​the wound was still full of mud and gravel, which was extremely dirty.

Wei Lin wiped away the sand from Jiang Ye's wound little by little, and then changed to Jiang Ye to help him clean the wound.

There is no stream or anything around, so I can barely make it a little bit cleaner.

"Now I know what it means to be close to vermilion, red and close to ink, to be black," Jiang Ye said.

"Ok?"

"A beggar turns into a beggar."

"The battles are not neat, don't make them up forcibly." Wei Lin curled his lips, looked at himself, and then at Jiang Ye.Before that, Jiang had always kept a cold face, and he was dressed so well, looking really weak, but now he looked more pleasing to the eye: "You look better like this."

"Did I show you?"

"Then forget it."

"When will you pay back the money you owe me?"

"When did I owe you money?"

"In the mansion, you talk about two taels of silver."

"Wow, are you so rich and so stingy?"

"Pay back the money."

"I have no money."

Jiang Ye thought it was the same, even if this person had money, with his prodigal methods, he probably spent it all.

"It's all right now, I don't have any money anymore." Jiang Ye waved his hands and fell down on the ground a little bit broken.

Wei Lin sat aside, thought for a while, and said, "It's okay, so, let's go near the post house, and I will go begging. What if I get rich?"

"No one will give you money for a post house with no village in front of you and no shop in the back."

"Didn't I just give the little beggar money yesterday? Believe me, good people are rewarded."

Jiang also simply closed his eyes and stopped talking to Wei Lin.

"Okay, don't be sad, rest for a while, and when the pain doesn't hurt so much, we will go to the posthouse."

"Do you know the way?"

"I don't recognize it, but I have a way."
