Tibet

Chapter 6
When the boy heard that he was from Si Ning Palace, he said: "You wait, I'll ask!"

He closed the door, and Li Ye sighed, "If it wasn't for your help today, I really don't know what to do."

"It's okay! Didn't you say that you don't know each other if you don't fight? Friends! Isn't it that you help me and I help you, right?"

"Okay!" Li Ye nodded, "I've made you my friend!"

At this time, the door opened again, and the boy came out carrying three plasters of ointment and two sets of medicines, "Bring me thirty pennies!"

"This is 30 taels of silver!" Li Ye quickly handed over the wallet.

The boy looked at the quality of the silver by the light of the lantern, took it over and weighed it, and then handed the ointment and the medicine bag to Li Ye.

"I'll tell you how to use it. Roast the ointment on the lamp to soften it, and stick it on the place bitten by a poisonous snake. After an hour, replace it with another one. After sticking three times in a row, the poisonous blood will come out, and then boil the medicine to replenish For your body, rest for two or three days and you will be fine."

"Thank you so much!"

At this time, suddenly there was a drumbeat sounding in the distance, and Qiao Bin's face changed drastically, "The gate is about to be closed, let's go!"

Li Ye put the medicine into his bosom, got on his horse, didn't bother to say hello to the boy, and galloped on the horse, one in front of the other, the two of them rushed towards the gate of the workshop like the wind.

Chang'an closed the city gate at night, and began to close the square gate at Xu time. After one hundred and eight drum beats, the square gate was closed, and it would never open. You can only enter it at dawn the next day.

Li Ye was also desperate at this time, galloping his horse desperately, and rushed to the gate of Daixianfangfang, he got off his horse and handed the horse to Qiao Bin.

"I'll come to you tomorrow!"

"Come on! The drums are about to stop."

Li Ye sprinted towards the gate of Yonghe Square opposite. At this time, the sound of the drums had stopped and the gate was slowly closing.

"Brother, wait for me!"

The two pawns who closed the door saw Li Ye who was rushing towards him. They hesitated for a moment, and slowed down the speed of closing the door a little. The moment the door closed, Li Ye rushed into the last gap.

..........
Aunt Mu is very skilled in medicine, so she carefully applied the plaster on Pei Sanniang's wound. At this time, Pei Sanniang's entire right calf was swollen, and the black air had spread to her thigh. is dangerous.

Li Ye sat nervously at the side, holding his mother's hand and praying silently. At this moment, he already regarded Pei Sanniang as his mother.

Li Ye's parents in his previous life divorced very early, his younger sister went back to Sichuan with his mother, he and his father, but his father was an alcoholic and beat others when he drank, which made his childhood very unfortunate, but fortunately he had a grandmother who loved him.

When he was ten years old, his father got drunk and wounded someone and went to prison. He and his grandmother went back to the countryside.

At the age of 15, his grandmother passed away, so he had to go back to his father's house. His father had already been released from prison and remarried. Although his stepmother didn't drive him away, she never concealed her hatred and dislike for him.

He often misses his mother and his deceased grandmother, but his mother has remarried long ago and can no longer take care of him, so he has no choice but to hide this longing for his mother deep in his heart.

At the age of 16, he lived in school and completely left that cold and violent home.

He now has a home again, although poor, but so warm, Pei Sanniang's care and love for him are not different because of the millennium, which makes him feel his mother's love again.

And Aunt Mu, he has always believed that she is the past life of grandma.

After an unknown amount of time, he fell asleep beside Pei Sanniang's bed.

Li Ye had a dream. He dreamed that a phoenix hovered above his head. The phoenix pushed him lightly, and he fell into the sea. Li Ye woke up suddenly, only to find that his mother was gently stroking his hair.

Li Ye was suddenly surprised and happy, "Mother, you woke up!"

"My silly son has finally grown up." Pei Sanniang's voice choked up, her eyes turned red, and tears flowed down her cheeks.

"Mom, let me see your wound!"

Aunt Mu smiled and said: "Don't look at it, the black blood is gone, and the swelling of the calf has subsided, so I only used the second plaster. This plaster is really effective!"

"Then let's post the third post!"

"Stop posting!"

Pei Sanniang struggled to sit up, Li Ye quickly supported her, Pei Sanniang took the plaster from Aunt Mu, sniffed it, smiled and said, "I'm going to study it carefully, maybe I can get this prescription."

She suddenly grabbed Li Ye's ear, quickly and accurately, "You brat, tell me, where did you get the thirty cents?"

.........

Of course Pei Sanniang would not stop her son from playing basketball and making money with his own ability, why not?
But she also has a condition, the money she earns must be handed over to her, for example, the ten pennies that Li Ye got back yesterday can't be found no matter what.

Early the next morning, Li Ye came to Qiao's mansion as promised, and Qiao Bin was already waiting for him at the door.

Obviously, Qiao Bin was not as happy as yesterday, and seemed a little preoccupied.

Finding an opportunity, he whispered to Li Ye: "My father may test you, you must not be modest, you must show your true skills, or I will be miserable."

"why?"

"There is competition!"

These three words explained why Qiao Bin had something on his mind. Li Ye was not the only applicant. After all, Qiao Bin was only a teenager, and his father didn't believe his recommendation was normal.

Li Ye nodded, "I will try my best!"

.........

The Qiao Mansion does not occupy a very large area, about three acres, divided into three entrances, the front yard, the atrium and the back house. The front yard is the kitchen, stables, warehouses, servants' rooms and so on.

Li Ye saw at a glance that there were many large water vats by the wall, covered with bamboo hats. Li Ye also had two large water vats at home. Mrs. Mu told him that every household had them, which meant happiness. Of course, they were also water vats. , the more cylinders there are, it is estimated that there are eighteen cylinders here.

Passing through a corridor, they came to the atrium, in the middle was a patio, the floor was covered with blue bricks, the bricks were a bit blackened after a long time, the two sides of the patio were the side rooms, the middle was the main hall, and there were rooms on both sides of the living room, Usually a living room or dining room.

At this time, there were more than a dozen people standing in the atrium. There was a couch on the middle step. A middle-aged man sat cross-legged on it. He looked very similar to Qiao Bin. He was probably his father.

There were several servants standing around, as well as several young men in white samurai uniforms, about seventeen or eighteen years old, all of them holding polo clubs and looking very high-spirited.

Before going out, Aunt Mu specially told Li Ye some basic etiquette. You don’t need to kneel down, just bow. Generally, scholars with high reputation only need to kneel down to the world, kneel down to the emperor, and kneel down to their parents. , if it is a servant, servant, tenant farmer, etc., he must kneel down to his master.

Qiao Bin's father was only the steward of the powerful mansion, not Li Ye's master, so of course he didn't need to kneel down, Li Ye stepped forward and said, "Your Li Ye, I have seen Uncle Qiao!"

Qiao Bin's father is called Qiao Xingzhong. He has a long, thin face and a pair of eyes that are particularly bright. He looks like a shrewd man.

He stroked his beard and smiled and said, "Third brother, this is the shooter you introduced, isn't he a little too young?"

Qiao Bin had already stood behind his father, and said in a low voice, "everything my child told my father is true!"

"But the rules set by the prince, I have also told you."

"Father-"

"Okay! Just give it a try."

The rule set by King Si Ning is to choose a polo player among the family members of the royal family. Li Ye is not eligible, but Qiao Xingzhong still wants to give his son face and let Li Ye withdraw through fair competition. His son has nothing to say .

Qiao Xingzhong waved to another young man in black. The young man stepped forward to salute vigorously. He was about [-] or [-] years old, and he was very strong. He could tell from his walking steps that he was a martial artist. He looked at it arrogantly. Glancing at the broken cue in Li Ye's hand, his eyes were full of ridicule and contempt.

Qiao Xingzhong smiled and said: "I was ordered by the prince to form a polo team. I still lack a shooter. I need to pick one of you two. Of course, the one with the highest skill will be selected. It's fair. You have no objections." Bar!"

Both of them nodded, and Qiao Xingzhong smiled again: "My yard is not big enough to shoot holes like real polo. I need to change it. Let's use the bottle hitting game! I will feed you the balls, and there are many bottle breakers. wins."
