Seeing the big man frightened, Feng Ye winked at Zhao Yang, then picked up a bowl and ate the meal. He sandwiched some meat marinated with soy sauce with green vegetable soup. He ate the hot meal until he was full.
The big man took care of him and the two children went to the rear part of the house to rest. When Feng Ye and Zhao Yang went into the room to rest, that big man still looked around from time to time to see where the men hiding in the dark were.
It was not surprising that he would believe the words of the two children. It’s really because the older one of the two children was dressed in a humble azure robe and was as simple as a playmate, while the smaller one had an exquisite appearance and was garbed in fine clothing. Moreover, the young one had a n.o.ble air and should have been the child of a wealthy family.
Who would believe that two young kids come out without an adult to keep watch? It must be true, as the child said, that his father wanted him to go out and experience hards.h.i.+p while protecting them secretly.
When he arrived at this thought, he secretly wiped his cold sweat, quietly retired, no longer dared to have any crooked ideas about the two children.
That night, the boys slept well and replenished their vigour. The next morning, they got up and were ready to go on their journey.
When they came outside, they saw the big man baking pancakes to eat. They sat down at the table and each of them picked up a pancake and ate it.
The big man looked at them and asked, “Young Master, when are you leaving?”
“We’ll leave shortly.” Feng Ye answered, taking a bite of the pancake and swallowing it. “Uncle, how far is this place from the market?”
“It’s not far. If you leave after eating, you’ll probably reach the market by noon.” The big man picked up another pancake and ate it. He didn’t forget to say, “Young Master, you said you will give me some money.”
“Mm, I haven’t forgotten.” Feng Ye gave him the gold coin he had already prepared beforehand. “This is for you.”
Seeing that it was a gold coin, the big man’s eyes brightened. He became more and more convinced that the two children came from a n.o.ble family. Otherwise, how could ordinary children take out a gold coin easily?
He immediately grinned and narrowed his eyes. “Alright, alright. Don’t hesitate to eat these baked pancakes. If these are not enough. I’ll bake some more for you.” He put away the gold coin happily.
With a pure smile on his tender and delicate face, Feng Ye told the big man, “Uncle, there’s no need. We will be leaving soon.”
Seeing this, the big man didn’t insist on it any longer, but looked at the two of them and said, “Young Master, I’m going to go to the market in the city to buy something later. Shall I give you a ride?”
Feng Ye’s eyes lit up. “Do you have a carriage?”
“Horse, carriage? Hehe, something like that!” He smiled sheepishly.
Feng Ye looked at Zhao Yang. “Sunny, let’s take Uncle’s carriage to the city!”
“Mm.” Zhao Yang nodded his reply, ate the pancake and wiped his mouth with a small handkerchief.
“Alright, sit down and have a cup of water while I take the carriage out.” The big man said and headed outside.
Not long after, Feng Ye and Zhao Yang came out. When they saw the so-called carriage, the corners of their lips twitched a few times. It was an ox cart. An old cow was towing a flat two-wheeled cart. It looked as plain as it could be.
“Sunny, let’s go on foot!” Feng Ye spoke with a serious face.
“Yes.” Zhao Yang answered. The two children walked to the other side together.
Seeing this, the big man couldn’t help shouting. “Hey, Young Master, you’re not taking the carriage?”
