readx;?“ What can I do? Lupin felt terrified and desperate: "With such a small amount of money, you can't even stay in an inn for two days, let alone eat and dress." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Looking at the unfathomable Luoyang City in the darkness, Lu Bang felt dazed like never before.

Inadvertently, he felt something bulging out of the placket of his chest, reached in and took out a blue plain silk purse, which was the "hush money" that the eunuch in brocade gave to Lu Bang in the evening because he lost the "Jiuhua Fragment".

Lu Bang felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and opened his purse tremblingly, counting five gold leaves, three golden gourds, and more than a dozen golden melon seeds, which were also the rewards of the palace maiden during the Chinese New Year.

Because it is a palace thing, it is made very delicately, and the color is excellent, but at the same time, it is very small. This pile of things is only about three or four taels, and it is nearly fifty taels when folded into silver.

Lu Bang weighed the bag of things, and frowned with some emotion: "If it weren't for Princess Xuanbo and Master Jingchen who left poems on my paintings, I was afraid that I would lose it, how could someone stuff this purse into me?" ”

"After all, it's still stained with the princess's light." Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shed tears: "The princess took care of me a lot when she was alive, and now that she is gone, she can still use the afterglow to save me from fire and water when I am most critical, she is really a noble person in my life." ”

Sighing and sighing, he had to find a place to live quickly, and he couldn't always curl up outside the courtyard walls of the princess's mansion. If this continues, even if it is not discovered by the forbidden army, it will be frozen to death here.

He had to grope his way along the dark courtyard wall, hoping to find an inn to stay in. Unfortunately, it was getting late and all the businesses were closed.

The Great Qi State implements the "night ban" policy, in addition to the three days of the "Shangyuan Festival" on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and the "Mid-Autumn Festival" on the fifteenth day of August, the people can walk freely in Luoyang City all day, and at other times, the people are still wandering in the streets after night, and they will be considered ghosts and ghosts, and they will never be good people anyway. As long as he is caught by the forbidden army, he will be put into prison without saying a word.

Because of this, Lupin found several inns, but the shopkeepers refused to open them for fear of getting into trouble. Seeing that the temperature was getting lower and lower after nightfall, Lu Bang only felt that the north wind was biting, and his steps became heavier.

Just when he was at a loss, he happened to see a large inn on the corner of the street in front of him. Lu Bang took a closer look, and suddenly rushed over like a life-saving straw.

He was so excited, not because this inn dared to risk being punished to open the door for him, but because Lu Bang really saw the "straw"!

It turned out that because of the large scale of this inn, there were many people living in the inn, and there were many people staying in the inn, and there were many horses, and the stables were not enough, so the shopkeeper built another stable under the outer wall of the inn.

At this time, there were five or six horses tied to the stable, and in front of the stable was a hay trough two feet long and one man wide. At this time, the hay trough is full of sun-dried hay.

Lupin ran to the hay trough with all his might, but he didn't think much of it, and climbed into it with three times and twos, and then piled up the hay here on himself as much as he could, with his almost frozen hands......

In this way, Lupin spent the night lying in a thick haystack, barely withstanding the biting cold wind of the first month, and finally picked up a life.

When it was almost dawn, Lu Bang heard the sound of the dawn drum from the direction of Jinguangmen in Luoyang City, and after the drum was knocked in pieces for a while, the shops and people's residences beside the street began to talk and move.

Lupin knew that everyone was about to get up, so he hurriedly crawled out of the hay trough, for fear that when the shopkeeper came out to feed the horses, he would find him in the trough, and he would recognize him as a horse thief, and then twist him to the government, and it would be more than worth the loss.

Fortunately, when Lupin left the stable, no one had come out of the inn, and his whereabouts were not discovered. At present, what he wants to do most is to find a shop that sells breakfast and eat a bowl of hot soup cakes.

But he walked through several breakfast shops, and before he could enter, he was beaten out by the shopkeeper with a big broom. At first, he was still puzzled, and kept explaining: "I'm here to buy breakfast, and I won't give ...... money."

But how could the shopkeeper listen to him, and always interrupted him impatiently: "Go, go, go, go aside!" We have seen a lot of people like you who eat white food, and we take advantage of it elsewhere! ”

Lu Bang knew that he was small and thin, and if there was a real conflict, he would not be able to take advantage of it at all, so he had to bite his lip and leave silently.

When he walked out into the street, there were always people who cast disdainful glances at him, and at first he was puzzled, but then he found a well that was not frozen and took a look at it.

It turned out that he had been in the hay trough all night, unkempt, with a disheveled head, and a lot of grass seeds and grass poles were still stuck to the clothes on his head, plus when he came out of the princess's mansion last night, a piece of the back of the cotton robe was torn off. He turned his head and lifted the torn placket to see that the broken parts were uneven, and the cotton wool was falling from the cracks.

Looking at his dignity, Lu Bang smiled bitterly in his heart: "No wonder I was beaten out of the store, people must think that I was asking for food." Who wants to let someone ask for food in their store in the morning? Who doesn't feel bad about it? ”

"What can I do? I finally didn't freeze to death, do I have to starve to death first? Lupin looked at his own depressed reflection in the well water, and was at a loss.

At this moment, a sentence came to my ear: "Young man, young man, don't think about it!" ”

Lu Bang jerked his head up and saw a sister-in-law in blue and white coarse cloth slowly walking towards him across the street. The sister-in-law was still holding a few freshly cooked flax pancakes in her arms.

As soon as he saw these flax baked cakes, Lu Bang's eyes were about to burst into flames, he came to the sister-in-law in three steps and two steps, and said with a deep salute: "This sister-in-law is invited, can you sell me these baked cakes you take, I am so hungry that my eyes are full of gold stars......

As soon as she heard this, her sister-in-law smiled heartily: "If you are hungry, take it and eat it, my family sells baked cakes, and these cakes are still given." As he spoke, he handed him a few biscuits in his arms.

Lu Bang didn't bother to say words of thanks, he quickly took the cake and put it in his mouth, and took most of it in one bite. After biting, he remembered that the sister-in-law was still looking at him with her eyes open, and only felt that his actions just now were too rude, so he quickly raised his sleeves to cover his mouth and turned his back to eat.

When the sister-in-law saw that he was hungry like this, she still looked squirming and pinching, and couldn't help but laugh "poof": "I didn't expect you to be a down-and-out talent." ”

Lu Bang swallowed a piece of bread in his mouth, and coughed a few times before he said, "Let my sister-in-law laugh." I'm actually an artist. ”
