Chapter 5
The exquisite silk cloth was formed one by one under his hands, and the shopkeeper seemed to have the best and happiest thing in the world. That kind of feeling is beyond the understanding of outsiders.It is a pity that since the outbreak of the war, famines have occurred frequently, and no one has come to buy or make clothes anymore.This is one of the negative emotions that the shopkeeper can allow a child to order around, but complain a little without resentment.The biggest reason is Ye Xiang's own charm.
The shopkeeper was very busy, Ye Xiang waited patiently, time passed like this.It was an hour after the shopkeeper finished his work.
At this time Ye Xiang stood up, took the clothes handed over by the shopkeeper, turned around, put the 50 Wen money in his arms on the station, and left.He knew he would catch up again.
But the shopkeeper was a little dazed looking at the 50 texts on the stage. He hadn't received money for a long time, and he didn't remember what it was like to receive money.He didn't know that the feeling of receiving money was so choking.He had already planned that there would be no guests coming this time, so he would go home and farm in peace.Because he still has a wife and children to support, he is a man, and he can't continue to keep on like this.Although this is a family business passed down from his ancestors, although he loves this profession very much, he is also the husband of a woman and the father of a child.He can't let them starve, that's his responsibility.
But he decided to return the money to him. He is a child, so he needs the money even more.He has already decided to go home and farm. The two mu of land at home can still barely support the family of three. Therefore, in this chaotic world where food is more expensive than money, it is better to return the money to him as before letting him go out of business. You can still touch the salary of this profession.So he chased after it.
Ye Xiang walked neither fast nor slow, when he heard the yelling to stop from behind, he knew that the time had come for him to bribe his confidant.After entering the store, he noticed this timid, sensitive and careful shopkeeper, and when he was visiting Qingcheng, he inadvertently inquired about this person in places where people were chatting.This person's elders are all dead, he likes to tailor clothes, has a wife and a son, and his son is crazy about painting.Now that the war is in chaos, clothing making is destined to have no business. If this continues, he will definitely starve to death on the street.He now needs a loyal person who can help him with affairs. What can be more grateful than him for saving the lives of his family of three?What could make people follow more desperately than him saving the lives of his family of three?Besides, if he really can't control it, isn't his family the handle?Ye Xiang will not use this trick either, he has a charm that makes people follow him wholeheartedly, this is the charm of the superior, the charm of the ruler.And Ye Xiang has always been a ruler.
"Objective, your money." The shopkeeper panted, "This shop is free of clothes today, so you should take this money back, guest officer."
"You need food, but I have it." Ye Xiang didn't take the money, but just looked at the shopkeeper with calm eyes, and said with a high-ranking tone, "Follow me, you have it, and Buzhuang will have it too." In this way His unruly tone did not show arrogance at all on him, only the charm that made people yearn for and convincing remained.
The shopkeeper's eyes were a little surprised, and he didn't understand why Ye Xiang said these words suddenly.But seeing Ye Xiang's convincing demeanor, he suddenly picked up the idle conjectures that had been thrown to the corner of his mind.Maybe he really met someone who can do great things, he will really let me have food and cloth!By following him, he might be able to bring a better life to his wife and children!
The shopkeeper who became active in his thoughts quickly replied: "I am willing, the little one wants to follow you to do great things."
"Very good, let's continue to open the shop now." Ye Xiang looked at the shopkeeper casually, with a light that should not be underestimated in his eyes, and he could not allow others to refuse, "I will come to you tomorrow, and I will give you food at that time. You will get more of what you want."
The shopkeeper immediately agreed, and now he really believed that he had met a big shot, because his demeanor and momentum could not deceive anyone.His life is really getting better and better!There is no need to live a life of prudence and business anymore.Happiness is so close to him, within reach, which made him even more devoted to Ye Xiang.

Gao Jiping and Meng Xinghun in the courtyard woke up after Ye Xiang left.They slept soundly that night.It's really good that I didn't feel the chill of the wind blowing my bone marrow again, I didn't experience the pain of being hungry again, and I didn't feel confused and hopeless again.Their mood is like the sunshine shining, warm and full of hope.
After the bathing incident last night, both Gao Jiping and Meng Xinghun discovered that Ye Xiang likes to be clean.The first thing they do after waking up is to wash up quickly when Ye Xiang doesn't know what to do; the second thing is to clean the yard clean inside and out.Gao Jiping hopes that Ye Xiang will see her smart and meticulous side, and prove that she is also very useful.What Meng Xinghun hoped was that Ye Xiang would like him and not abandon him, he would clean the house, and he was also very useful.
After the yard was cleaned, one of them sat on the steps in front of the yard, and the other sat on the stone bench at the stone table, waiting for Ye Xiang.At this time, they are not in a hurry, they are full of expectations.
The sun slipped from the east to the top of the west, a morning passed, and an afternoon was born again.At this moment they panicked.
Gao Jiping thought, why hasn't Ye Xiang come yet?Why not come?He must have been delayed by something else, right?He will come in a moment, he will come in a moment!Just wait a little longer! ?
The silent Meng Xinghun sat in front of the steps, his eyes looked into the distance, as if there was something "alive" in front of him, without blinking.He will definitely be back!
Staring for a long time, the atmosphere of coldness, and fear spread at this time.They tried their best to stop the frantic guesses in their minds, not to touch them.But sometimes the more you don't want to touch it, the more you can't stop thinking about it.
No, no!They won't be discarded! Ye Xiang doesn't look like someone who abandons his wife and children in order to survive; someone who enjoys food all to himself in order to survive.But then she was helpless in the face of the facts and denied it.That's right, she is neither his wife, son, nor his relative, but just a passer-by with no relatives or reason.In this era of war and famine, it is a great kindness to give her a few mouthfuls of precious food. Why should he ask him to feed her all the time, wasting food.
But even thinking about it like this, she still felt so unwilling in her heart.Obviously, she was about to get rid of that kind of life that was worse than death, but when she was about to step in, the door suddenly closed, leaving her alone in the dark world and gradually starting to despair.If there is no hope at the beginning, will there be no despair at this time?But she was finished, and she still wanted to meet Hope again.
Although Ye Xiang wanted Meng Xinghun to call him Young Master, he accepted it.But in his heart, Ye Xiang is a very important existence to him. At the age of six, he called him Brother Ye in his heart. This kind of affectionate name made him feel that the distance between him and him was shortened, and it also made him secretly happy in his heart for a long time. .
Now, will Ye Xiang come back?He was a little uncertain, but if Ye Xiang really didn't come back, he would look for him until he was found.
As time passed slowly, Meng Xinghun's eyes seemed to be filled with shooting stars, bright and beautiful.His body also seemed to be full of strength, and he flew over like a sharp arrow.He's back, he's back!He knew he would be back!
Meng Xinghun's actions alarmed Gao Jiping.Could it be that when he comes back, that silent kid will become lively only when he comes back!Thinking of this, a strong wind of ecstasy blew in her heart.No one knows how it feels for a person who is dying of thirst to see an oasis; no one knows the excitement of a seriously ill patient when he receives the news that he is still alive;She is the person who is about to die of thirst and disease, but she is also the one who gets the charcoal fire. She knows that it is the rebirth that can see the light again!
She walked out after her, and the moment she saw Ye Xiang, she would never forget that meaningful, clear and majestic figure for the rest of her life.
"Brother Ye, you, you're back." The moment Meng Xinghun saw Ye Xiang, he was so excited that he even forgot the address Ye Xiang ordered, "We've already cleaned the yard, why don't you go and have a look? Hmm. ...and Brother Ye, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I, I'll do it right away."
Gao Jiping, who came behind Meng Xinghun, was also very excited to see Ye Xiang.Seeing that Meng Xinghun had gone to cook, she immediately said, "Young master, welcome, welcome back! You must be very hungry. I'll cook too, and I'll be ready soon."
Looking at the two positive ones calmly, Ye Xiang didn't express any thoughts.It's good that the Wanderer's lack of insecurity flares up occasionally, and it's more loyal.
He put his clothes on the stone table, sat down under the stone bench, and quietly waited for the late lunch.
The two steamed three of Ye Xiang's only steamed buns in the kitchen, and after two to three minutes, the meal was ready.Gao Jiping served steamed buns and put them on the table, instead of sitting like Meng Xinghun, she stood by the table.Seeing Gao Jiping standing like this, Meng Xinghun tremblingly wanted to stand up.Brother Ye is eating, he can't disturb him.
Ye Xiang knew that he didn't eat lunch, and he definitely didn't eat these two either.It's just that Boss Gao is very smart, and he can't relax at all with her.He is very satisfied with her demeanor of master and servant.To control this kind of person, it is necessary to distinguish between master and servant; instead of the line of affinity, such a line will make her feel that the master is easy to control, and it is easier to arouse rebellion.But what Meng Xinghun needs is the affinity route. For this kind of person, the closer you are to him, the more loyal he will be.
Therefore, he held down Meng Xinghun who was about to stand up, and said calmly: "Don't move, after
