Chapter 969: Soldiers
Los Angeles is famous for Luochuan, but with the passage of time, the sun is scorching, the air is dry, and the river that originally flowed with turbid water has now dried up, but the wide open city gates and the people who keep coming and going are showing that this city is not as unbearable as the Luochuan River.
"Sister, you see, it seems that they are now using this barrel truck to solve the problem of water supply. Donghuang Jing tightened the bag with watermelon and lychee on his back, and raised his hand to the wooden cart that was entering and exiting the city gate.
"Well, there is no way, so deep Luochuan has dried up, obviously, the water storage in the ground of Luocheng is insufficient, that is, to dig a well, it is also unrealistic in this weather and environment, the only way is to transport water from other places, and Xiao Zhifu, who is famous for his virtuous government, is the best communicator. ”
Jinxiu touched her mouth and gave such an explanation, and then saw her tidy up, and then walked towards the city gate step by step with her stupid brother with the package full of dried meat and preserved fruits behind her back.
At the gate of the city, there were four soldiers who were checking the details of pedestrians, one of whom had just sent one out, but he didn't want to turn his head and just saw the shiny half of the golden face of Jinxiu
"Hey, look, is that the Jin Gongzi who has a shop? That, that seems to be his younger brother?" If this person said the other, maybe the other three would give him a slap on the head to make him wake up, but when it came to the Jin Gongzi in a small shop, it made them wake up in an instant.
"It seems to be, but how can these two be such ....." One of them squinted his eyes and looked around, but still gave an ambiguous answer.
"Like, whatever, whatever!" One of them, who seemed to be the head of the squad, slapped the man on the head when he heard this, and the red hand alone showed that he was merciless.
"What are you waiting for, why don't you two hurry up and help them carry their things? We'll just keep watch here, let's go!" Seeing that the two of them hesitated, the team leader simply kicked one of them on the ass, and then they ran out in a hurry.
And this Xiang Jinxiu was talking to Donghuang Jing, when he saw two soldiers running towards him, and when he saw them, he smiled and said, "It turns out that they are really two sons, and they are just far away and look like, our leader, we are not busy sending the two of us to give the two of us a hand, but I don't know, eh, is it convenient?"
It is rare that this rough soldier who only knows how to dance knives and guns can say such polite words, Jinxiu and Donghuang Jing glanced at each other when they heard this, but they both unceremoniously unwrapped the package behind them and handed it to them.
"There's nothing inconvenient, it's filled with some rare fruits brought from home, I'm going to get you busy, and I'll give you something new to try in a while...."Donghuang Jing laughed out loud without a shelf, and even reached out and patted the soldier's shoulder.
It will be an invisible flush flashed on his dark face, only his body stiffened a little uncomfortably, but his mouth was still honest, "Strange fruit? The things that the two sons took out must be good, and our brothers are here to thank the two sons for their generosity." "With this fruit as the base, these two obviously work a lot harder.
Jinxiu smiled and walked with them and said that they had reached the city gate, and said hello to the remaining two soldiers guarding the gate, saying that they would be returned later, and that there would be a return gift, but they could be happy, and a mouthful of white teeth basked in the sun.
"Such soldiers are like a person, which is like the past, if you don't look at the skin on their bodies, the master will almost treat them as robbers. Donghuang Jing's voice was quite loud, causing Jinxiu to look at it with a smile.
"That's what Childe said. One of the soldiers who helped carry the things chimed in, "But we all know this kind of thing, and it's inevitable." For example, in a waterhole, there are always a few stinky fish and rotten shrimp that will plague you.
In the past, like our brothers, they were all patrolling on the city wall, and they couldn't see any people every day. ”
Listening to the words of the soldiers, it was obvious that they were not at peace among them, Jinxiu glanced at his younger brother, and did not have any desire to answer, but looked around, and the other soldiers saw it, but they answered with great eyesight
"Now the people in the city have been much better, mainly because the price of food has dropped, and you have the soup soup soup there, the atmosphere in the whole Los Angeles City has improved a lot, but there is no longer anyone who goes to scrape the bark outside the city, and the people are thinking about you in their hearts, otherwise we would not dare to leave the position without permission just to please one of the two of you." ”
This person is indeed quite skillful in speaking, and Jinxiu is not uncomfortable in his heart when he listens, "Hello everyone, what I want to see is such a scene, and we will go to the next place tomorrow to continue to help those in need ......"
"Ming'er is leaving?" The soldier was obviously very surprised, and when he reacted, he saw everyone looking at him, so he sneered, "I'm just a little surprised, these days, we are all used to going to Tong's Mansion to go around without anything, if we disappear in the future, I'm afraid we will get used to it." ”
The man said so, turned his head and smiled, "However, Jin Gongzi is going to help others, thinking about it, I am very satisfied, there are still many good people in the world, and there are few moths......"
Adversity always makes people grow, and some philosophical exclamations are made, but now Jinxiu understands. Looking at the door of Tong's mansion, Jinxiu and Donghuang Jing raised their hands to take the package, opened the bag and picked it up a little, until they couldn't hold it, and then stopped.
"The world of the Northern Regions, sooner or later, will return to purity, although yin and yang need to be reconciled, black and white are always difficult to distinguish, but for this world. I will always show the good side to everyone. ”
Jinxiu said with some feelings, but he didn't give everyone time to think, pointing to the things that the two soldiers were holding with difficulty, and said, "This round one is called watermelon, and the way to eat it is to cut it with a knife, eat the red flesh inside, and then spit out the black melon seeds inside, this is called lychee, and ..... it with your hands."
When Jinxiu finished explaining to them what the pile of things was, someone in the Tongfu finally couldn't wait to greet them, and the two soldiers saw it, greeted them with a smile, and hurriedly grinned and walked away.
Behind him, he watched them leave, turned to look at the old man behind him and said, "Uncle Tong, is the medicinal soup still effective?"
