The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives

Chapter 93 Leisure Time

Yang Ji was sitting on the bluestone steps in front of an unsold shop on the street. He held a steamed bun he had just bought in his right hand and put it in his mouth. He also held a steamed bun in his left hand and rested his elbow on it. On the thigh.

There were two common people sitting on both sides of Yang Ji who were similar to him. They also bought two steamed buns and sat on the steps chewing them quickly. Occasionally when he choked, he picked up the bamboo tube placed next to him and drank a mouthful of cold water for himself.

Yang Ji estimated that the cold white water in the bamboo tube might contain salt. There is really no shortage of salt as a necessity in Taishan County now. After Zhang Shuangsu Shiping made sea salt, the price of salt in Taishan has been very stable.

The man on the left finished the two big steamed buns in his hand in less than 2 minutes after sitting down, and then urged the other man to hurry up. How could he still be grinding after eating a steamed bun? If he didn’t hurry up, the people on the construction site would Your life will be taken away by others.

Another old man who was still eating the steamed buns leisurely, that is, the one sitting on the right of Yang Ji, became anxious after hearing the words of the old man on the left, and immediately stuffed the remaining steamed buns into his mouth. , chewed briefly twice, swallowed it, then picked up the bamboo tube and left quickly.

Yang Ji looked at the half-eaten steamed bun in his hand and pondered, was he eating so slowly? Then he threw the thought away and continued at his slow pace.

After Yang Ji finished eating a steamed bun, he wanted to drink some water to relieve his thirst, but after looking around, there seemed to be no place selling water, not even a tea stall.

[Too bad, there isn’t even a milk tea shop! 】Yang Ji took a hard bite of the steamed bun, and after returning home, he tried to find a way to make milk tea, and then let people of this era experience the beauty of milk tea.

[But it seems that the sugar needed for milk tea cannot be obtained. How about waiting for a few days and then researching it? ] Yang Ji suddenly thought that it seemed difficult to obtain high-end ingredients like sugar in Taishan County now.

[Why don't you go to the wild and look for honey or something? 】Reluctant, Yang Ji thought that honey seemed to exist at this time. Then Yuan Shu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms lamented before his death that he couldn't even drink honey.

Yang Ji, who desperately wanted to drink milk tea, did it as soon as he thought of it. He finished the steamed bun in his hand and continued to wander slowly around the street, just like a street wanderer with nothing to do.

Yang Ji, who was running around Fenggao City, would go and watch wherever he saw something interesting. Although Fenggao had only recovered for less than three months, the flow of people on the streets was still good.

Under the bulletin board on the street, a literate official was explaining the latest announcement to the onlookers. The notice was written in vernacular, and even if the official read it, the onlookers could still understand it.

Yang Ji followed the people to watch, and followed the people to read the words and sentences on the notice. Every time the clerk read a sentence, the people watching followed suit. The clerk smiled and waited for the people to finish reading, and then read the next sentence, and so on.

After Yang Ji read along a few times, he quietly left. Because the accent of the clerk was a bit serious, Yang Ji doubted that he was a local. Otherwise, how could he frequently speak in dialect to communicate with the onlookers.

As he walked, he came to a construction site that was under construction. People inside were busy dusting, but Yang Ji couldn't tell what kind of building was being built here, even though the construction site was facing the street.

After crossing the construction site, we came to a street with a denser flow of people. It opened earlier and there were more vendors than on the street just now. There were very few shops on the street that were not open for business.

Yang Ji actually saw a juggler here, and a circle of people were watching next to him. From time to time, one or two shouts broke out, accompanied by the people's applause.

Yang Ji walked around the whole street but didn't see any storytellers or anyone who had anything to do with cultural people. He must have been arrested and taken to be a manager.

In this way, Yang Ji walked around the entire Fenggao City in half a day. It must be said that it was terrifying, because Fenggao City is now full of construction sites and there are not many completed and open streets. Yang Ji's shopping efficiency is considered slow. .

It's noon, and it's time to eat. Although the people here are not used to three meals a day, due to the strong consumption power of the construction site, several restaurants serving lunch have opened on the street.

But it's still steamed buns with some side dishes. The side dishes are made from wild vegetables dug from the wild, but the taste is pretty good, at least at this point in time, it's pretty good.

After lunch, Yang Ji continued to wander around the city, but he was getting closer and closer to the city gate. He arrived at the city gate after spending an hour on the road.

"Hey, Dahe, have you eaten?" When he walked out of the city gate, Yang Ji saw an acquaintance, Zhang He. After all, every time he saw Yang Ji, he always called him sir. How could he not be familiar with him?

When Yang Ji returned to the city from the military camp that day, he happened to see Zhang He squatting at the door with a newborn baby in his arms, trying to find a scholar to give his newborn a good name.

I guess he saw that Yang Ji was easier to talk to and he was a high-ranking official, so after seeing Yang Ji, he handed the baby to Yang Ji directly. Yang Ji had never held a baby before, so he could only pick it up hurriedly and carefully. Very pink and tender little baby.

Although Zhang He looks rough, he is actually very strong. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to come to Yang Ji with a child who was just over a month old at this time.

"Mr. Ziyu," Zhang He saluted Yang Ji, "I haven't eaten yet. Aren't I waiting for that guy from Jiang University to change my shift? No, he's already here."

Yang Ji looked in the direction Zhang He was pointing, and sure enough he saw Jiang Dazheng leading a group of people walking towards the city gate. They were the city defense troops trained a few days before the ban. After the expansion of the military camp outside was completed, , these people also need to be reinvented.

"Dahe, let me ask you something." After looking away, Yang Ji asked Zhang He again.

"Excuse me, sir." Zhang He said solemnly. This was the first time that Mr. Ziyu asked him for help.

"You often wander around in the wild, do you know where I can get honey?" Yang Ji approached Zhang He and whispered.

"Honey? I have it at home. Sir, do you want to find some honey to try?" Zhang He's eyes lit up and he asked Yang Ji. He is a sweet tooth.

"If you have some at home, can I buy some? I've been feeling a little bad lately, so I wanted to find some sweets to relieve my mood."

Yang Ji was happy at first, and then quickly replied that if Zhang He had it at home, he wouldn't have to go to the wild to search.

"Sir, don't mention the word [buy]. When I come on duty tomorrow morning, I will bring the best jar of honey at home to give to you! Um, will you still be out of town tomorrow?"

Zhang He didn't ask why Yang Ji was in a bad mood, but just tried his best to handle Yang Ji's affairs. After all, he just heard Yang Ji say that sweets can relieve unpleasant emotions.

"Okay, but just give me a can. I will pay according to the market price. It's not easy for you to find this outside. Don't bargain with me here, otherwise I won't want it!"

Yang Ji saw Jiang Da approaching with someone, "Then I won't disturb you for the handover, I'll leave first." Yang Ji waved to Zhang He who was standing in the guard box, and then walked out of the city gate. .

"Sir, please walk slowly." Zhang He waved helplessly to Yang Ji, and then continued to look at Jiang Da who was walking towards him, thinking about when to go outside to find some wild honey and visit Yang Ji.

After walking out of the city gate, Yang Ji continued to walk along the road. The fields on the roadside were full of crops that had sprouted and grown. The tender green seedlings made people feel very comfortable.

Farmers in the fields are working hard on weeding. From time to time they stand up and beat their sore waists. At the same time, they look far and near to see how much is left to be done. They sigh softly and smile. Keep working with your head down.After walking forward for a while, I came to a clump of bamboo growing not far from the roadside. Because there had been a heavy rain a few days ago, the bamboo was growing well.

Yang Ji found a piece of bamboo that was of suitable thickness and about the same length as a fishing rod. He pulled out the long sword hanging on his waist and chopped off the bamboo with a brush.

Then trim the remaining branches of the bamboo, and trim the bamboo joints carefully with a sword blade.Then he chopped the cut bamboo strips into fine pieces, and used the method of refining the materials to make a fishing line and a fishhook.

After tying the fishing line to the fishhook, tie the fishing line to the small end of the fishing rod. After tying, use the powerful warming secret technique to warm the entire top and bottom of the fishing rod. These days, even the river The fish inside all have internal energy, so be careful.

He walked onto the main road with his fishing rod and continued walking forward. About half an hour later, Yang Ji turned off a small road from the main road. If he continued walking along this small road, he could see a small river.

There were still lush crops on both sides of the path. Originally, no one came here to farm, but after Zhao Yun walked around Mount Tai, some people came here to farm.

After the people working in the fields heard the noise, they quickly stood up and looked at Yang Ji. They were not unusually vigilant. Yang Ji waved the fishing rod in his hand to show them.

However, people did not relax their vigilance. Instead, they picked up their farm tools and waved them at Yang Ji a few times, saying that we are not easy to mess with here and should not try to steal their things.

Yang Ji shrugged, turned around, left the busy farmers behind, and continued walking to the end of the path, where he would relax today.

Above the boundless wilderness, the ripples of the breeze are rippling the green branches of crops, and the undeveloped groves in the distance are setting off waves of green. It is really beautiful.

Ahead is a small village where no one is stationed. The dilapidated scene shows the helplessness of troubled times. I wonder when the people who once lived here will come back and take another look at this small village.

Yang Ji walked along the path of the village, touching the collapsed wall with his fingertips. All the past events came to mind, including the children's play, the adults scolding the naughty ones, and the old man sitting at the head of the village chatting.

Turning over a stone in the corner, the earthworm that saw the light for the first time hurriedly hid from the sunlight from outside the world, but even if it drilled into the soil, it was useless, because Yang Ji brought a piece of bamboo.

Insert the bamboo slices diagonally into the moist soil and turn them over gently. A few earthworms want to escape from the sky-covering hand again, but this time they can't escape.

Yang Ji put the earthworms he pulled out of the soil into a bamboo tube. This would be their last home. Yang Ji was kind enough to dig some soil and put it in so that they would not have anywhere to hide.

There is a small river about a hundred meters from the back of the village, and a path leads directly to the river. The side of the path is already covered with weeds, and traces of past farming can be seen vaguely.

At the end of the path, on the bank of the river, the steps made of bluestone have been polished extremely smooth by the past time, but you can still see chiseled marks where you stepped on them to prevent slipping.

There are two tall willow trees standing on both sides of the steps. Their high-spirited green branches cover the steps under the trees. The hanging branches touch the slightly turbid river water, and small fish gather in the ripples of the water.

Sitting on the bluestone steps, Yang Ji reached out and broke off a willow branch of suitable thickness, etched a floating rune on the skin of the willow branch, and then tied it with fishing line about thirty centimeters away from the fishhook.

Open the bamboo tube containing earthworms, pull out a lucky one from the tangled earthworms, hook it with a fishhook, and then swing the fishing rod to throw the fishhook to the center of the river.

After adjusting the position of the fishing rod, put down the fishing rod, immerse your hands in the warm river water, and wash away the earthy smell on your hands.

-

Yang Ji is now looking at each other with a big fish that has its head on the edge of the stone steps and its body submerged in the water. At this time, Yang Ji is sitting on the stone steps with a fishing rod in his hand, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Yang Ji has been staring at it for 5 minutes now, "I said, Brother Fish, if you really like me, how about you go over there and bite the fishhook, and then I can catch you." "Yang Ji suggested to Brother Yu.

Brother Yu was unmoved and continued to watch Yang Ji fishing there. "I won't look at you anymore. Let's see how you still look at me." Yang Ji moved his eyes away from Brother Yu and towards the float.

-

Yang Ji put away the fishing rod again, and there was only a little bit of earthworm residue left on the fishhook. Yang Ji endured his grief and once again selected an unfortunate one and hung it on the fishhook.

After throwing out the fishhook, Yang Ji looked at Brother Fish who disappeared for a while and then reappeared, "Brother Fish, even if you don't pity me, you have to pity the unfortunate Brother Earthworm." Yang Ji couldn't hide his sadness. said.

Brother Yu floated his body up and down in the river for a few times, as if he was agreeing with Yang Ji, "Then I will thank Brother Yu for his generosity on behalf of Brother Earthworm." Yang Ji thanked Brother Yu.

-

"Brother Yu, what do you mean? He brought his brothers and sisters to eat at the table of Brother Earthworm's family? This is the last surviving Brother Earthworm!" Yang Ji gritted his teeth and said to Brother Yu and his brothers and sisters.

At this time, the fish brother and his brothers and sisters poked out their fish heads from the river and looked at Yang Ji with their dead fish eyes, "This is unbearable!" Yang Ji used the fishing rod to kill him at lightning speed. Brother Yu was stunned.

The school of fish suddenly dispersed, leaving only Brother Yu floating alone on the water. "I told you a long time ago, Brother Yu, now you are toasting and not having to drink as a penalty." Yang Jilao Brother Qiyu said into its eyes.

Yang Ji opened the fish's mouth, hooked it with a fishhook, and then threw the fish brother back into the river, waiting for the water to calm down. After a while, the float suddenly sank to the bottom, and Yang Ji put away the fishing rod.

Yang Ji looked at the fish's eyes, "I just said that I can't be in the Air Force today. Did you see it? This is the proof!" Yang Ji patted the fish's head, then pretended that nothing happened, and fished a fish. The big fish went back to the city.

Yang Ji carried the fishing rod and caught a big fish behind him. Facing the setting sun, he walked on the road back to the city with windy steps, enjoying the envious looks of passers-by on the road.

After Yang Ji returned home, he gave the fish he caught to the chef at home and asked her to make a steamed fish dish. This was a chef who had studied in Chen Xi's house. Just thinking about it makes her mouth water.

At the dinner table, Zhang Ning looked at the happy Yang Ji strangely, [Does the head of the family like fish so much?But I have never seen the owner of the house so happy when eating fish before. 】

After eating and drinking, Yang Ji boiled a pot of hot water, took a comfortable hot bath, and then lay on the bed contentedly.

[Let’s go fishing again when we have time in the future. ] Yang Ji thought this while lying on the bed with his eyes closed.
