"Where are we going now?" After walking for a long time, but not seeing a place to stay, Qin Siyang couldn't help but ask. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I don't know. Liu Shuangli replied in a muffled voice.

"You don't know?" Qin Siyang looked at her strangely.

"yes, three days ago, I spent all the money I had left to buy those things. Liu Shuangli said mockingly, "I originally thought that after entering the city, I would first find a job to do and earn some silver, and then find a place surrounded by a roof and walls, a bed, a quilt, and charcoal, and endure a winter." ”

"That's—"

Without waiting for Qin Siyang to ask, Liu Shuangli shook his head, and then said: "But after entering the city, I found that there is no shortage of people in this city to do things, and I ...... Where can I find something to do and earn money?"

"We—"

"We, if we continue like this, we are expected to be one of them in the near future. Liu Shuangli said and pointed to the poor man curled up in the corner, and said sarcastically.

"This-no-no!" Qin Siyang was startled and shouted loudly.

How could he endure himself, like those poor people huddled in the corner, living with no dignity at all.

"Ha, how is it impossible? Tell me about Siyang, what should we do now?" asked Liu Shuang.

"We-" Qin Siyang was speechless for a while, and then paused before replying, "I don't think there really is anything to do, the world is so big, and we all have hands and feet, how can we not find something to do!"

"Well, yes, I hope I can really find something to do!" Liu Shuangli said casually.

"Don't you have faith, it's not like you. Qin Siyang said curiously.

"Hah, no. Liu Shuangli hurriedly smiled and replied, "It's just not guaranteed." ”

"You said last night that it's easy to find something to do. ”

"Yes, I can be literate and martial, of course it's easy to find something to do. Liu Shuangli nodded.

"That's it!"

As the two were talking, Liu Shuangli was suddenly stunned and stopped moving forward.

Qin Siyang also stopped his steps and looked up at her in confusion.

I saw Liu Shuangli stunned for a moment, and suddenly pulled Qin Siyang with one hand, pointed to the wall in front of him, and motioned him to look.

Qin Siyang looked in the direction that Liu Shuangli was pointing at, and he was also stunned for a moment.

Liu Shuangli said in a low voice: "The painting is really good, it seems to be thinking of you." ”

It was a bounty notice with a portrait of a human head, and the boy with clear eyebrows on the portrait could be identified as Qin Siyang at a glance.

The notice paper was a little torn and yellowed, and it was blown by the cold wind, and it was estimated that it had been pasted on this wall for a month.

It seems that Qin Siyang's sea fishing documents have already been received in this small border town, and he is still wanted.

"Be careful, there are many people in this city who want to find silver. Liu Shuangli warned in a low voice, looking at the words on the notice and the amount of the reward, it was exactly the same as what the peasant woman they had met when they had just escaped from the mountains and forests, and there was nothing new about it.

"Aren't you also looking for silver?" Qin Siyang said as he stared at the one thousand taels of silver that was extremely eye-catching on the poster.

"Also, I'm really short of silver now, it's time to sell you so I can get the silver!" Liu Shuangli grinned.

The boy's face sank: "You-dare-"

Seeing the boy's instantly shocked face, Liu Shuangli shook his head a little speechlessly, and said with a smile: "Okay, I can scare you like this if I just say and play, you are really timid." As he spoke, he pulled Qin Siyang and turned around and left.

Walking all the way, Liu Shuangli warned Qin Siyang all the way to forget this wanted notice, remember that he is a girl now, act and walk like a girl, and don't do those boys' actions.

Although Qin Siyang was silent, he still followed Liu Shuangli's instructions and changed them one by one.

The two of them wandered around the town at will, but for an hour they saw nothing special except for the countless poor people, and the nearly shattered wanted notices that appeared on the walls from time to time.

It was already completely dark, because the food that they had bought in the town before had either been eaten by the two or robbed by the poor, and now there was nothing to eat on them. Liu Shuangli could only spend a few copper plates in front of a small stall to buy two steamed buns and a few pieces of baked cakes, which were used for tonight's dinner and the next day's breakfast.

Although Liu Shuangli still had enough money to live in the store, what she saw after entering the city made her a little afraid.

Once you run out of money, will you be like those poor people on the street corner, with dull eyes and no hope, and can only wait for death in vain?

Therefore, Liu Shuangli didn't dare to spend more silver, seeing that the weather was not too cold, and the sky was sunny tonight and the wind was not strong. She gritted her teeth, pulled Qin Siyang out of the city before the city gate, and found a loess slope outside the city.

"It looks like we're going to have to spend the night here today, but it's not too cold and the sky is clear, so it shouldn't be too hard tonight. Liu Shuangli looked around, there was not a big tree here, only a mountain full of weeds, growing on this loess mound at will.

Qin Siyang didn't have the heart to look at this dim dirt land, he was just worried about a question, and now he could only worry about this question: "Is it really so difficult to find something to do in the city?"

"Well, you saw it just now, it's hard. Liu Shuangli nodded back.

As soon as he heard this, the boy's expression suddenly darkened.

There was no one around, and the dirt slope at night was windless and cloudless, except for unknown insects whispering in the grass that no one could understand.

Seeing Qin Siyang's face collapse in an instant, Liu Shuangli laughed suddenly, blinked and said, "But Siyang, with the two of us, we can still see it." Especially you, with a good temperament and a good face, should be very easy to buy as a slave to a large family. ”

As soon as Liu Shuangli said this, Qin Siyang's already gloomy face was instantly covered with a layer of frost.

The boy's eyes looked like he was going to kill someone, and he looked directly at Liu Shuangli and said coldly: "You want to sell yourself into slavery?"

Liu Shuangli was stunned: "I'm not just joking, Siyang, you don't have to show me your face right away, it's scary." ”

"Are you really joking?" Qin Siyang grabbed Liu Shuangli's hand with a cold face and shook her vigorously, "You like to make such boring jokes so much." “

"Oh my God, Siyang, you don't have to be so serious!" Liu Shuangli grabbed the boy's hand and didn't let him shake it again, "Okay, why should I buy myself as a slave for no reason and call others for nothing, isn't it that I can't get along with myself." ”

"You're not saying that if you can't find something to do, you won't have money or a place to live. Do you say that if we continue like this, we will either starve to death or freeze to death?"

Liu Shuangli sighed and said, "Because of this, we should work hard to find things to do and make money." ”

"But you just said that it is difficult to find trouble, that there are too many people and too few things, and it is not our turn to do things at all. Qin Siyang asked in an accentuated tone.

"Siyang?"

"Huh?"

"Do you think there's no way ahead?" Liu Shuangli was a little helpless about the boy's always overly pessimistic mood.

"Where is that road?" Qin Siyang asked.

Liu Shuangli analyzed: "First of all, I am different from the poor people in the city, I can read and write, and I can do martial arts, and in this alone, I should be easier to find things to do than them." ”

Qin Siyang was taken aback, stunned for a moment before he was curious: "Could it be that those people are illiterate?"

Liu Shuangli was stunned for a moment, she looked at the boy in front of her in disbelief, and said angrily: "My eldest young master, have you seen how many poor people in this world can read?"

Being so disgusted by Liu Shuangli, Qin Siyang couldn't help but feel embarrassed, he unconsciously lowered his head, and he didn't know how to answer. I only heard Liu Shuangli continue to say: "My father is a talent who has failed to make the list, he can read and hyphenate words, and has read the Four Books and Five Classics, so he taught me to read and write since I was a child." Otherwise, I would be like those people, illiterate. ”

"But you are not only literate, but also martial. ”

"Oh, martial arts were learned later from the master. Liu Shuangli replied.

"You're very different from everyone else. The boy muffled.

Liu Shuangli smiled shallowly.

The boy looked at Liu Shuangli, stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered something, and said: "Shuangli said that your father is a talent and can read and break words, isn't it, then he is different from those poor people, and it should be easy to find something to do, isn't it? But I remember you said that your father was starved to death." What the hell is going on?"

"Ah, starving. Liu Shuangli laughed loudly, the laughter with a bitter taste that was different from the previous made Qin Siyang feel very uncomfortable when he heard it.

After a long time, Liu Shuangli stopped laughing, paused and said, "Siyang, have you ever heard of the saying 'useless is a scholar'?"

"I've never heard of this, it's useless to be a scholar? What is this?" Qin Siyang said in amazement.
