Chapter 22 A day trip to Guanping City

Sanpi was right, it was dawn, and their carriage arrived at the foot of Guanping City.

Since the hour had not yet come, and the gates had not yet been opened, they could only wait outside the gates.

Wang Baoshan looked at this huge city that he had never been to, but he couldn't feel any surprise in his heart. The night of thoughts made him exhausted, his head seemed to be emptied, and he couldn't hold anything at this time, and he didn't want to think about anything.

I don't know how long it took, but several more carriages came intermittently, some hoarding goods and some pulling people, all of which stopped outside the city gate.

At this time, countless vegetable farmers came, carrying all kinds of vegetables and fruits, and rushed over one after another, just like those carriages, waiting for the city gate to open. Most of these vegetable farmers, because of their years of hard work, were hunched and gloomy, and everyone was silent, looking at everything they could see with almost dull eyes, indifferently.

"Look at them, are they happy?" Sanpi didn't know when he woke up, he looked at the vegetable farmers and asked Wang Baoshan.

Wang Baoshan didn't answer, looking at the misty distance.

"They also have something to do every day, they don't have to think about other things, they live hard, but why aren't they happy?" Sanpi didn't care about Wang Baoshan's silence, and continued to speak, as if he was asking himself.

"No matter how hard they work, they are just making a humble living!" At this time, Luo Ying, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his mouth coldly.

Wang Baoshan looked at him a little stunned, thinking of his own life, the village where he used to live, and the villagers there. For these, he is not unclear, but too clear, that is, because he is too clear, so he is helpless not to think about it, but chooses to numb himself in the hard work.

"Big brother, don't think about it! You have to do everything on your own. Sampi pulled his arm and comforted him.

"Hmm..." Wang Baoshan was pulled by him, came back to his senses, and nodded at him.

"Tom... Hmmm..."

At this time, the sound of a gong came from the heavy city gate.

It seems that the hour has come, and the gates of the city will be opened.

With the opening of the city gate, a column of guards armed with javelins and waist knives stood outside the city gate, with grim expressions and pairs of eyes, and they scanned the crowd entering the city without fear. Their posture of being high above made the vegetable farmers who entered the city bow their heads one by one, and they did not dare to come out.

When Wang Baoshan saw it, he was also panicked in his heart, he was afraid that the guards guarding the city would find out the slave marks on his body, and if that happened, he would be arrested back to the Li family's mine.

Seeing that he was panicking, Sanpi took his hand to reassure him.

It was only after he entered the city gate in a carriage with a beating heart that he settled down. asked Sanpi: "Second brother, why do you have to pay money when you enter the city?"

"Hehe, big brother! Do you think that this Guanping City is just for people to enter! Look at those vegetable farmers, when they go into the city to sell vegetables, in addition to the gate of this city, they also need money to enter the gate, and other places also need money, so they will be unhappy, but in order to make a living, what can they do?" Sanpi saw that Wang Baoshan finally spoke, and he was also happy.

At this time, on both sides of the wide street, shops of all colors are beginning to open their doors, and people who pass by the morning market are in a hurry, each busy with their own business. The shouts of the hawkers, the shouts of bargaining, the chatters of welcoming the pick-up and drop-off guests...... And so on, one after another, so lively.

After walking a few streets in a row, Wang Baoshan found that almost every street was full of pedestrians, and everywhere was overcrowded, he didn't know how there were so many people, looking at their busy figures, his eyes were almost gone.

In addition to those on foot, there were those who rode horses, or those who rode in carriages like them, and even those who rode donkeys...... wait, so that Wang Baoshan finally opened his eyes.

Due to the large number of pedestrians and the congestion of the road, Luo Ying was in a hurry for a while, and sometimes he needed to close pedestrians, and he had to wait a long time to pass. Sometimes I have to go down and lead the horse to walk.

Sanpi has been pointing out how to take his route, which has made this cold little hunter very annoyed, and he is sweating profusely looking around, trying to discern the direction, but he has not been able to grasp the essentials.

Wang Baoshan looked at them, he was so busy that he couldn't help, so he had to stay in the carriage honestly.

After walking on and off for a long time, they finally came to a relatively secluded street. There are no pedestrians on this street, there are few shops, they are all houses with independent courtyards.

"This is it..."When he arrived at a small house, Sanpi asked Luo Ying to stop the carriage. He got out of the carriage, looked left and right, and went up to knock on the door.

After a while, the door opened, and an old man came out, he looked a little flustered, glanced at the carriage, and said, "Why did you come so late?"

"Lin Lao. Sanpi didn't answer him, just shouted.

"Alright, go in! The old man came out and led the horse as he spoke.

Sanpi nodded at Luo Ying and Wang Baoshan, and motioned for them to go in with him.

When he entered the front yard of the house, Wang Baoshan saw a person in a gray robe, who was by the big water tank in the corner, holding steamed buns and feeding a few small goldfish inside.

"Senior Brother Han" Sanpi walked straight to the man's side and bowed.

As if he hadn't heard, the man didn't look back, and focused on feeding the goldfish.

"This is Han Shu, Senior Brother Han..."Sanpi turned around again and introduced to Wang Baoshan and Luo Ying.

"You go and rest for a while and eat something..."After the man finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Wang Baoshan and the others.

This person is the little leader in Heifeng Village, who is responsible for entering the city to procure, Han Shu.

Sanpi saluted again, took Wang Baoshan and Luo Ying, and went to the kitchen in the house.

Sitting on the pyre in the kitchen, Wang Baoshan ate steamed buns and asked Sanpi: "Second brother, what's going on?"

"It's okay, this Senior Brother Han is the little leader in the village, this is his father-in-law's house, I have been to Senior Brother Xu once before, so I know his father-in-law, Lin Lao. After eating the steamed buns, Sanpi leaned against the pyre, ready to sleep.

"Since it's an acquaintance, it's easy to get things done. As soon as Wang Baoshan heard that they were all acquaintances, his nervous heart calmed down a lot.

"Let's sleep! After Sanpi finished speaking, he didn't care about him and began to sleep.

Luo Ying seemed to be very tired, and he had already fallen asleep, snoring quietly.

Wang Baoshan saw that they were all asleep, but he wanted to sleep but couldn't sleep for a while, and he was shocked by the night's effort. The excitement and uneasiness made him feel bottomless, and he had no clue when he thought about it. In the end, I simply didn't want to think about it, closed my eyes, and fell asleep.

In a blur, he found himself under a tall city gate, and everything around him, like his consciousness, was also blurred, and he could only see some illusory shadows. In those shadows, there were shadows that looked like human figures, running around, and there were lying figures everywhere on the ground, and countless figures in the distance, intertwined, as if they were fighting, fighting each other with weapons, and once a shadow fell, there would be many shadows rushing up. Either you die or I die, endlessly, like a torrent, rushing endlessly......

"Big brother..."

Then, with a call, all the shadows disappeared, and the whole vague everything disappeared.

Wang Baoshan opened his eyes and looked at Sanpi calling him, only to realize that he had just had a strange dream.

After waking up, he felt that he was in a cold sweat, and his whole body was a little dizzy.

Luo Ying touched his forehead with one hand and said, "Why, I suffered from the wind and cold..."

Sanpi listened, and also came over to touch it, and saw that Wang Baoshan's face was a little pale and sweating profusely. He said, "Big brother, you're okay! I'll trouble Lin Lao and cook you a bowl of ginger soup." ”

"It's okay, it's just a strange dream, don't worry..."After Wang Baoshan finished speaking, he shook his head and stood up.

At this time, he found that it was already dark outside, and he slept until night after a sleep.

"It's okay, let's eat something first!" Sanpi went to the stove, brought steamed buns, and gave them to eat.

After a while, Lin Lao pushed the door in and asked them to follow him to the hall.

At this time, the hall was brightly lit, and Han Shu was talking to someone. As soon as he saw them coming, Han Shu said to the man, "Brother Yang, this is the junior brother I told you. ”

Then, he said to Sanpi: "Senior brother, this is the recipient, you can give Mr. Zhao's letter to him!"

After hearing this, Sanpi hurriedly took out a bamboo tube from his arms and handed it to the man.

Wang Baoshan looked at the strange man, handsome and extraordinary, with a well-defined face and a majestic appearance. Although the figure is not tall and mighty, it is also powerful, full of muscles, and bulging clothes, obviously born as a practitioner.

Of course he didn't know it, this person was Yang Zhuoyi, who killed his boss in anger.

Yang Zhuoyi took the bamboo tube, took out a few rolls of handwritten letter paper from it, and looked at it carefully.

After looking at it for a long time, he looked up, put the letter paper into the bamboo tube, and put it in his arms. And said to Han Shu: "Brother Han, can I talk to them alone?"

Han Shu's face showed a hint of surprise, then he nodded and smiled, got up and took Lin Lao on the side, out of the hall, and when he went out, he didn't forget to bring the door of the hall with him.

"Under Wang Qiang, dare to ask the strong man's surname?" Sanpi waited for Han Shu and them to leave, and stepped forward to salute Yang Zhuoyi.

"My surname is Yang, what did Mr. Zhao say when you asked you to come?" Yang Zhuoyi returned a salute to him.

"Mr. said that after reading the contents of the letter, Brother Yang understood everything and said nothing else. ”

Yang Zhuoyi nodded, looked at the three of them again, and after muttering for a while, he said, "Okay, Brother Wang, you clean up and follow me later." ”

"Yes, everything has Brother Lao Yang!"

Wang Baoshan listened to their conversation, and was shocked, not knowing where they were going. I just heard the number of Sanpi, saying that his name is Wang Qiang, and I was even more shocked, when did these Sanpi start, and he actually changed his name.

"Brother Yang, we don't have anything to look up to, and we don't have anything to clean up, so it's better to leave now. Sanpi said, looked at Wang Baoshan and Luo Ying, and smiled at them to reassure them.

Yang Zhuoyi didn't say much, got up and walked out. After leaving the hall, he said hello to Han Shu, and led Wang Baoshan and the three out of Han Shu's father-in-law's house.
