Chapter 9: Into the City
Early in the morning, it was overcast and the weather was gloomy.
The village chief is going to organize some people to go to the city of Frost City to purchase a batch of things, naturally Zhang Yang will also follow, yesterday afternoon I wanted to tell the village chief the news that he was going to follow, but after encountering the embarrassing thing of the village chief, I didn't have time to say it, but fortunately, Zhang Yang still caught up with the team that was going to the city this time.
This trip to Frost City was mainly to purchase some daily necessities, so it was basically some young and strong men, and empty carriages.
These horses are quite short, only suitable for pulling things, not for riding, so the group can only walk towards Frost City, which is a distance of hundreds of miles, Zhang Yang said secretly in his heart.
The eldest girl also joined the team to go to Frost City, talking to Zhang Yang along the way, his words are simply one in a million, and he has been chattering, which makes Zhang Yang very upset, if it is not for the fact that he can't beat the eldest girl, he will definitely directly press the eldest girl to the ground and blast the hammer.
Time flies, because the physical fitness of ordinary people in this world is very strong, and everyone who walks for a day does not feel a little tired, and begins to choose a location to prepare a tent to protect against mosquitoes.
Soon the tents were set up, and the tents surrounded the city, and a place was vacated in the middle, and a bonfire was lit, and everyone sat around the campfire, talking and laughing, eating the dry food they had brought with them when they went out.
Zhang Yang silently ate the dry food in his hand, Frost City, the first city he was going to go to in this world, he was very curious.
The night was getting darker and darker, and because of the weather, there was no moonlight, except for the campfire range, and it was pitch black and silent outside.
After dividing the men for the vigil, the crowd began to burrow into the tents and prepare for sleep.
According to the eldest girl, tomorrow you will be able to go to Frost City in half a day's way, especially the food in a restaurant in the city is very delicious, and the eldest girl wants to take Zhang Yang to have a good meal, but he has enough money.
The night was eerily silent, but nothing happened.
Soon, the dawn sun shone on the land.
Everyone had already packed up their tents and other items, and they were marching towards Frost City.
It was almost two o'clock at noon, and Zhang Yang finally saw the city wall in front of him that was dozens of meters high and could not see the end, as well as the large exaggerated plaque and the word frost city on it.
Zhang Yang was a little shocked, how much manpower and material resources do it have to take, but thinking about the quality of ordinary people in this world is also understandable, otherwise when the enemy surrounds your city wall, if the city wall is only more than ten meters high, those enemies will definitely be able to jump up easily.
Everyone slowly walked towards the city gate, there were a lot of people entering the city, these people went in directly, the guards next to them looked like they were ignorant of answers, and they didn't have the slightest intention of wanting to check, so relieved, what if there were enemy spies mixed in.
Soon it was Zhang Yang's turn and his party to enter the city, but the guards looked at Zhang Yang's short hair with great interest, after all, the hair did not grow much in a month.
However, he was also quite interested, and he did not stop Zhang Yang and his party, so they entered the city smoothly.
When he was looked at by the guard, Zhang Yang secretly sweated, after all, this is a person in the government, and his strength is so weak now, what if he is found to find some excuse to detain himself and send him to prison for torture.
Entering the city, Zhang Yang looked at all the buildings around him curiously, which was not much different from the appearance of the ancient city in those TV series, but the scale was a little larger, and there were more people.
Everyone listened to the sound of all kinds of hawking, walked to a quieter street, found an inn called Youban, booked a room, and went to buy daily necessities for their own homes.
The eldest girl dragged Zhang Yang to go to a particularly delicious restaurant, and after passing through the streets, she finally came to this restaurant called "The food here is so delicious that it can explode your clothes".
Zhang Yang was a little speechless for a while, but he still followed the eldest girl into the hotel.
I saw the eldest girl skillfully going upstairs, sitting skillfully by the window, raising her hand to beckon Zhang Yang to come over.
Zhang Yang had just sat down when a timid but very crisp voice sounded, "This, this guest officer, what do you need to eat?"
Looking at the voice, this is a cute little girl who is only about 8 or 9 years old, looking at them timidly, dressed as a shopkeeper, because the clothes are quite big, which makes the little girl look even more cute.
What the hell? Is this kind of world so depraved? Shouldn't such a cute little girl be taken care of like a flower at home, and hire child labor, this is a black shop, it must be a black shop.
The eldest girl also looked at this little girl with some curiosity, because when the eldest girl came before, it was the second little brother of the shop named Zhang Xiaoniu, and this time it turned out to be a little girl, but this kind of thing is no different for the eldest girl.
Skillfully told the ordered food to the timid sister-in-law.
The little girl heard the big girl's order like chanting and suddenly turned around, she couldn't remember so many names of dishes at all, thinking that after she was caught by the terrible middle-aged man called Xie Ding, although she was not beaten, but she wanted to let herself work for ten years to pay off the debt he owed, the little girl was aggrieved and shed tears.
Zhang Yang looked at the little girl who was in a hurry and still crying, and couldn't help but think of his lovely daughter.
Although this little girl looked very pitiful, Zhang Yang didn't say much, after all, she was penniless and had no strength, I'm sorry little girl. After silently apologizing to this lovely little girl, he ignored her again.
"Hmph, you waste of eating white food, you can't even do something as simple as ordering food, it seems that you have to sell you to the Qinglou. The voice came slowly from downstairs, and an uncle who was on the top slowly went upstairs.
After the little girl heard Uncle Xie Ding's words, she said excitedly: "Don't, shopkeeper, I will try my best to remember the menu, don't sell me to the Qinglou." ”
"Hmph, if you eat white food, it's useless to talk about it, what my medicine king Xie Ding hates most in his life is people like you who eat white food. ”
Uncle Xie Ding, who is called Xie Ding, said slowly, he has already walked in front of the little girl, ready to arrest this little girl, sell the Qinglou directly, dispose of it at a discount, and sell it at the price of her white food that day, don't look at Chu Chu pitiful, how to say that she is also a congenital monk, just give her a small punishment.
At this moment, Zhang Yang stood in front of the little girl to block Xie Ding's hand, Xie Ding glanced at it a little strangely, the man in front of him, with strange short hair, and a gray robe, with a kind face.
"Friend, it's not good to meddle in this kind of thing. Xie Ding had already seen that Zhang Yang was just a newcomer who had opened 12 meridians and had not officially stepped into the cultivation world in the quenching period, but what made Xie Ding curious was that the man in front of him was more than 25 years old, and he could sense that the meridians in his body had just opened in the past month.
"Although it is very shameful for this little girl to eat a meal of white food, there is no need to sell her to the Qinglou no matter what. Zhang Yang said righteously, originally he didn't want to take care of it, but when he heard that he was going to sell the little girl to the Qinglou, something in his heart seemed to be deeply touched, and he chose to stand up.
