Yang Xi took the copper plate, the firelight shone on it, and said with a smile: “Enough, sit here and warm yourself by the fire.”

But she was thinking in her heart that she had seen Li Shi counting copper coins because she took them out to count from time to time, the copper coins were not only clean but also shiny, while the copper coins the boy gave her were a little dirty, and it was obvious that the boy did not care about these copper coins.

However, the boy’s attire and appearance should be more concerned with copper coins, as many things were incongruous.

Yang Xi and her husband looked at each other, both of them had something in mind, but the young man just kept warming himself by the fire with his eyes fixed.

Zhou Xiaodi couldn’t help but ask, “You don’t have any family?”

The boy said casually, “I grew up eating at many people’s homes. My parents died a long time ago.”

Zhou Xiaodi sneered, “Then you have a lot of money.”

He heard the sound of copper coins colliding in the cloth bag. How could an orphan who had fled save so much money? Without the money given by the eldest brother, the Wu family could not save a single copper coin.

The young man lowered his voice and said, “I have picked up many dead bodies. If you look carefully, you can always find a few copper coins. When you meet someone like me, I will teach you how to pick up a dead body.”

Yang Xi saw that Zhou Xiaodi believed it, “.”

He was still too young, and he was alone. It was not his turn to dig up the body!

There was amusement in Zhou Yu’s eyes. The young man had followed them all the way, and he should be cautious when fleeing alone. This boy not only gave him ten cents for a place to stay but also took out two cents to buy porridge. It was obvious that he was testing them.

In the evening, they had a simple bowl of egg and cabbage porridge, and a few pancakes.

After dinner, Wu Shan came over to talk about the night watch, “Zhou Da, I will take my sons to keep watch.”

Zhou Yu shook his head, “Brother Wu, let’s take turns to keep watch.”

An equal relationship could last longer, and he didn’t want to break up with the Wu family.

Seeing Zhou Yu’s insistence, Wu Shan said, “Then you guard the first half of the night, and I’ll guard the second half.”

Zhou Yu smiled and said, “Okay.”

Wu Shan glanced at the boy and thought of the five copper coins he got. He was shocked. He knew this boy, but he didn’t know that he had so much money!

After dinner, the boy spread hay next to the stove, where he would rest at night.

Zhou Xiaodi helped when he had nothing to do, “I haven’t asked you what your name is yet?”

The young man thought he was still depressed, so he finally asked, “My last name is Yang, and my name was given by an old tóngshēng, Yang Xi.”

Zhou Xiaodi was surprised, “What’s your name?”

Yang Xi blinked and said, “Yang Xi, as in ‘xi’ from ‘sunset’ (xi), but it wasn’t originally this ‘xi.’ The old scholar said it was the ‘xi’ from ‘morning light’ (曦), but I thought it was too hard to write, so I chose this ‘xi’ instead.”

Yang Xi was also stunned, then she sneered in her heart and said to Zhou Yu in a low voice: “The name is fake.”

However, this boy was indeed smart. Somehow he knew her name.

Zhou Yu raised an eyebrow and said, “The first name is fake, but the last name is probably real.”

Li Shi often called her wife “sister Xi”, and this boy must have heard it.

Yang Xi leaned close to Zhou Yu’s ear and said, “This kid can read and write.”

Zhou Yu laughed softly, “Well when he said the words, he subconsciously gestured a few times with his hands.”

After a while, Zhou Xiaodi digested it and said, “You actually have the same surname and name as my sister-in-law.”

Yang Xi was also stunned. How could this be possible? Then he was delighted that God was helping him. His real name was Yang Xixuan!

Yang Xixuan said: “Your sister-in-law and I might be from the same clan. From now on, you can just call me Third Yang.”

Yang Xi listened with her ears pricked up, curling her lips inwardly, thinking that he was really good at making connections. However, Third Yang was probably the real ranking in the family.

Brother Zhou was not stupid. Although he was well protected, he still had some intelligence. He pulled the corner of his mouth and said lightly, “Oh.”

Yang Xixuan didn’t say anything. He just wanted to slap himself in the face. His mouth was bald!

In the first half of the night, Brother Zhou kept watch for about an hour and a half. Zhou Yu got up to continue the night watch, and then he heard the movement.
