Chapter 4: Fuquan
Wu Ma Xin was just about to speak, suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves behind him, Long Yiyi pulled him to dodge to the side of the road, three fast horses galloped on the road, the horses' hooves stepped quickly, and the Fu soldiers on the horse kept shouting: "Fuquan reward, all parties avoid, Duan Wang Yongkang, long life without borders!"
Immediately afterwards, mixed with the sound of the horse's hooves hitting the ground and the "squeak" sound of the wheels crushing, a large group of Fu soldiers walked slowly, led by a military general dressed in silver helmet and silver armor, holding an apricot yellow flag, with the word "Fuquan" written on it, and more than a dozen big cars behind them, the things on the car were very heavy, and the ruts were very deep.
Seeing the team of Fu soldiers approaching, Wu Ma subconsciously wanted to reach out and take out the silver needle, but he still pounced in the air, and looked at Long Yiyi eagerly.
Long Yi was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood Wu Maxin's thoughts, and looked at him like a fool: "Why are you so nervous, if you come to arrest you, you will still be pulling such a heavy thing." β
Although I couldn't help laughing, I felt more and more that this big boy was silly and cute.
Wu Ma's face flushed slightly, and he was about to say something, but he saw people on both sides of the street kneeling down one after another, raising their hands high above their heads, stretching forward. Long Yi stopped laughing, quickly pulled Wu Maxin, and knelt down as well, in the same pose.
"These people were sent by King Duan to distribute silver taels, don't you know?" Long Yiyi asked softly.
Wu Ma Xin shook his head.
Since the age of five, Wu Ma Xin and the others have been living in the mountains with the master, and they have no idea about the changes in the outside world, and have always thought that everything is the same as when he was five years old. The Master taught them the skills of survival and the martial arts of revenge every day, and the word "revenge" flowed into every cell with the blood. Whenever Master went out, Uncle Shi would pull them into a small hill and teach them to write, and tell them all kinds of anecdotes about the outside world, which was the only way for them to obtain information.
"Duanguo is subordinate to Chixian Shenzhou, and the fifth day of the first month of each month is Fuquan Day, Shenzhou will send a fleet to send a large number of gold and silver treasures, brocade clothes and jade food, and distribute them to the states by Duanwang to ensure that all people in Duanguo have enough food and clothing, as a condition of exchange, that is, Duanguo people are not allowed to step out of Duanguo for life. β
"What does Chixian Shenzhou look like?"
"Who knows, no one can leave Duanguo, not even King Duan himself. β
The convoy drove in front of the crowd, and Long Yi stopped.
The soldiers picked up the bulging cloth bag from the car, and threw it at the kneeling person with a proud face, and the person who received the silver bag hurriedly kowtowed, shouting "Long live King Duan", even if the person who was smashed out of the big bag on the head by the silver bag, he did not complain, and still knelt on the ground with a happy face.
Wu Ma Xin opened the cloth bag, in addition to a dozen broken silver pieces, there were three broken gold pieces, all of which were engraved with the word "anger", if you save some money, it is enough for a month's food and clothing.
In the eyes of the kneeling people, King Duan is God, and Fu Bing is the messenger of God, but in the eyes of Wu Ma Xin, these people are more like a group of playthings kept by King Duan, no, it is Chixian Shenzhou.
It wasn't until the convoy of Fu soldiers disappeared and the dust had settled that the people on both sides stood up, their faces were happy and satisfied, and the whole street became lively.
The yellow silk clothes hurriedly pulled away the people in front of them and ran towards the shop across the street. The store's faΓ§ade is inconspicuous, with a plaque engraved with three large characters "Lohas Li", followed by a string of numbers: 811226.
A woman snatched the silver bag of the man next to her, and the man said in a low voice with shame on his face, "You have to leave me some money for wine." The woman twisted the man's ears and dragged them out of the crowd: "No, you should go to the little vixen again after you take the money." β
The gambler who owed the debt also became arrogant: "Brother, the money you borrowed last month will be repaid to you this time even with interest." β
The thrifty housewife also became generous: "Mom, I want to eat dragon halva." "Okay, let's go buy it." β
......
Wu Ma's heart was suddenly a little confused, although they were kept in captivity, but they could clearly see the happiness of these people, is it really not worth exchanging happiness for freedom? If they are free, will they be happier?
"What do you think? Long Yiyi tugged at the stunned witch horse's heart.
"Oh, oh, nothing. Wu Ma Xin said lightly, and asked with a puzzled expression, "I can receive so many silver taels every month, which is enough to live, how can there be so many people engaged in business and sales?"
Wu Ma Xin was indeed puzzled by this, and Long Yiyi was even more puzzled, she was puzzled by how Wu Ma Xin could ask such a stupid question.
"How can there be too much gold and silver, who doesn't want to be fed and clothed? Who doesn't want to live in a spacious mansion outside the three grass houses? Especially you men, even if you have good wives in the family, don't you all think about wives and concubines!"
"Oh, yes. Wu Ma sneered.
"Looks like you want to too?" Long Yiyi pinched Wu Maxin's arm so hard that he almost fell to the ground with the silver cloth bag.
"I just want to live in a spacious house. Wu Ma explained helplessly.
"You're not hungry, let's go eat. Long Yiyi said with a wicked smile, "On Fuquan Day, all hotel tea shops are not charged, we have to find a high-end restaurant, eat enough and then hurry." β
"Great, I'm hungry enough to eat a pig. Wu Maxin's eyes widened, and then he whispered, "Can you give me back my silver needle?"
"No!" Long Yiyi's high-pitched voice attracted the eyes of the surroundings, and he lowered his voice a little embarrassedly and said, "It's not a safe area yet, so I can't give it to you, at least I have to leave Shuhe Town." β
"Oooh oh. Wu Ma Xin raised his hand in surrender, as if it was right to listen to her, at least, she wouldn't harm me.
The high-end restaurants that are crowded on weekdays are all full today, and there are even long queues at the entrance of the most upscale houses. The two of them walked around the street for a long time, and there was only one worse tavern with a place.
When the wine and food were served, Long Yiyi put his right hand on his left shoulder, lowered his head slightly, and said in his mouth: "Thank you Duan Wang for giving me food and clothing, Duan Wang Yongkang, long life without borders!"
Long Yi saw that Wu Ma's heart was not moved, and he hurriedly whispered: "Hurry up and do it together, you must pray before using chopsticks, if you are reported by others, it is a big crime." You look at the other tables, no matter how old you are, what status, you have to do it. β
Wu Ma looked around, as long as it was just served, it was like this, and he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Why pray?"
"Rules!" Long Yi said, giving him a blank look, and ate to himself.
I have lived on the mountain for a long time, but I don't know that the people have become like this.
Wu Ma wolfed down a few pieces of chicken in his mouth, and asked vaguely: "By the way, just now a few people wearing yellow silk shirts took the money and hurriedly entered a store called 'Lohasli', what does this store sell?"
"I don't know about this, but I've heard that it's a very enjoyable thing, and if you eat it, you can be happy like a fairy.
After a hearty meal, continue on your way. In the evening, Wu Ma Xin and Long Yiyi ate some more food, and by the time they arrived at Sixty-Three Village, it was already dark.
"Let's find a place to stay first. Long Yiyi said.
"Is the Fuquan Rili Inn also free?"
"It's beautiful," Long Yi said with a blank look, "The inn is naturally not among them, and you stay today and leave tomorrow, so it's not Fuquan Day." β
"Oooh oh. β
"There is a ruined temple outside the village where the twenty oxen roar, let's go there and rest. As he spoke, Long Yiyi bought a few worn-out blankets from a roadside stall.
"Oooh oh. β
The ruined temple was made of wood, dilapidated and dilapidated, with a thick amount of ash on the ground, and several old futons that had rotted, and a smell of urine mixed with rot came to the nostrils.
The two found a leeward place and cleaned it simply, only then did they know the use of Long Yiyi's blanket, and sure enough, the girl was careful.
The two sat on the ground, and Wu Ma Xin said, "Now you can give me my silver needle?"
"Okay," Long Yi didn't ink, took the silver hairpin from his head, rubbed his hands a few times, and then returned to the original appearance of the silver needle and handed it to Wu Ma Xin.
"What else?"
"This," Long Yi said with a slight flush, "you turn your back and don't peek." β
Long Yi took off his coat, revealing his inner heart.
The women's corset of Duanguo is called the heart clothes, which are tied to the body with two ropes and two pieces of cloth, which can cover the chest. As soon as Long Yi took off his heart clothes, it turned out to be a silver heart coat of the same shape. Long Yiyi took off the silver heart coat, rubbed it for a long time, and recovered it into more than a hundred silver needles, and said, "You can turn it around." β
Wu Ma Xin saw that Long Yi was wearing a heart robe, holding a silver needle in one hand, and rubbing it lightly on his chest with the other hand, and turned his head after taking the silver needle, his face was hot for a while.
"Why do you say you brought so many silver needles, I wore a silver heart coat for a day, and my chest hurt, and you didn't say to help me rub it. Long Yiyi rubbed it while looking at the nervous Wu Ma Xin and laughed.
"Don't look at it, I'm not peeking. β
"No wonder they all call you earth dogs, you are really hypocritical, full of benevolence and morality, but in fact, you are a man and a prostitute. If there are no evil thoughts in your heart, what is there to dare not look at, it is clear that there is a ghost in your heart. Long Yi said jokingly.
"......" Wu Ma Xin couldn't refute it.
"Okay, I'll just put it on. Long Yiyi said and put on his coat, "Let's sleep, we have to hurry tomorrow." β
"Oh, good. Wu Ma Xin sat down cross-legged against a relatively solid wall, closed his eyes and rested, and as soon as Long Yi leaned on him, he quickly fell asleep.
"Is this woman open-minded or is she tempting herself to sin, is she so relieved of me?" Wu Ma smelled the tempting body fragrance, and his heart couldn't settle down.
Maybe she's right, the earth dogs are really sanctimonious, alas...... Wait, why do you call me a dirt dog?
