Chapter 337: First Arrival in Suzhou City

The carriage brought up smoke and dust, and disappeared around the bend of the street

Seeing this, my heart moved, and a certain thought flashed through my mind.

I watched the whole route of the coachman, and I guessed that he seemed to be heading outside the city gate on the other side.

For many of the carriages in the city went along that place.

I've roughly looked at the map of Suzhou City, and it's fairly neatly built, and it's easy to see where they're going if you pay attention to the carriages on the street.

The flow of people out of the city to follow the city was invisibly divided into several groups.

I touched the boy's arm and asked him.

"Hey, do you know where the driver went?"

I thought about it for a while, and it seems that I had never heard the driver say where the next guest to be picked up was getting on the bus, and he didn't seem to mention the agreed place.

The boy had been to Suzhou, and he even knew the delicious and fun places in the city, so there was no reason why he couldn't figure out the direction of the coachman.

"It should be the docks!" The boy stood in the street like me and watched the coachman leave, and he said a few words.

After speaking, the boy turned around, and likewise, his gaze turned back to my face.

"Xiaoling!" The boy called out my name, and his face behind the hood was blurred, and he seemed to have something to say to me.

I waited patiently for the boy to speak, but suddenly he didn't say anything.

I thought to myself, I can't stand on the street stupidly like this, in the eyes of others, it's so weird to see us.

The flow of people around me shuttled, and I stood on the street with such a mysterious boy with a hat, which already seemed big enough to be conspicuous, especially this guy was quite tall.

Many passers-by are staring at him!

He and I instantly became the focus of the passage at the city gate! "Alright." I was not used to being stared at by a group of people, so I hurriedly said to the boy, "Let's say goodbye here too." I also want to go to the city to see it. ”

Looking at the crowded street ahead, I took a few steps and patted myself on the forehead in annoyance.

Sky! How did I forget to say the most important thing, look at my memory!

I turned around abruptly and saw the boy still standing still, staring at me.

His appearance still stands like a statue.

I walked over, approached him, looked up at him, and said in a tactful tone, "Hey." Can you do me a favor? "Say!" The boy's voice sounded a little expectant, but what was he expecting?

I thought about it and decided to tell the truth. "Can you give me some money?" I lowered my head and whispered, "I want to go to the city, I'm afraid I can't do it without money." ”

The young man handed over the whole money bag in his hand, and looked at me in a flat tone. "Xiaoling. You take it, and you win it in the first place. ”

It seemed that he had been prepared for a long time, as if he had known that there would be such a scene, and his reaction was too calm.

"What about you?" I asked as I looked at him uncertainly.

He gave me all the money, and he planned to go directly to the east of the city by himself?

Well, the map is rough, but how far will it be from here, and how long will it take?

"Xiaoling. It's nothing to do with you, why are you worried about this? “

The boy finished. The tone suddenly lowered a little and asked, "Xiaoling, are you going to follow me?" If you really want to follow, I can take you. ”

It was a friendly, kind word, but the corners of his mouth were raised, and the tone of his voice was very annoying.

Cut! Who wants to continue to follow, it's broad daylight now, there's nothing to worry about, I don't believe that I will have no clues in Suzhou City for a long time, young master, you can go coolly!

This person has the ability to instantly dispel the little apology that has just risen in my heart!

I secretly said in my heart that this person was real, turned my head to look at him, hesitated for a few seconds, and after thinking about it, I divided the little money left in the money bag in half.

He took out half of it and put it back in his money bag and handed it to the boy cheerfully.

My own half was carefully tucked away and hidden.

"I don't want to take advantage of you," I looked up at the young man, and said in a calm tone, "You can't get rid of the money from the gambling house." "In my opinion, it's still evenly distributed."

In the town, if it weren't for the boy's help, all I would have gotten would have been to pay for the meal and the carriage and horses, and I might have been missing.

He helped, and I was grateful to him, and it made sense to give him half of it.

The young man looked at me in a daze, did not reach out to take it, I waited for him for a few seconds and saw that he still did not move, and directly stepped forward and slapped the money bag on his hand.

Look at his twisting and pinching, I'm much more generous than him!

I gave myself a thumbs up in my heart, and after paying the money, I breathed a sigh of relief.

I waved my hand at the boy, but he didn't move, so I left him and walked on my own.

Walking far away, I could still feel the gaze behind me, but I didn't look back, not once

Suzhou City is much larger than the small town, and it is said to be the largest city between the north and the national capital.

In the past, when the situation was peaceful, there were many commercial exchanges between the two places.

There are many people of different races gathered in the northland, each of whom is the king of the land, and there are also men and horses below.

Over the years, there have been small frictions, and several large foreign leaders have successively annexed many nearby tribes, and to this day, I heard that some of them are not to be underestimated.

When the sky was on the ship, he told me about these things, and it revealed a lot of information.

I remember asking him if the princess on the other side of the battle, the empress's sister-in-law, had united the forces of the alien race, and Tianfang gave me a clear, affirmative answer at that time!

Compared with the Northland, the intrigue of the king's men in the capital city is not at the same level, and the water in the Northland is deeper, and it is still a river of blood at every turn

A horse-drawn carriage passed by the street, and I quickly trotted a few steps out of the way.

I've seen the style of horse-drawn carriages on the streets. Similar to the car we hire, but occasionally some specially marked carriages passed by, and I heard that those were the cars of the residents in the eastern part of the city.

Sure enough, it's a veritable rhythm of the rich. The decoration of the carriage and even the wheels can be seen to be made of fine materials.

Stopping under the eaves of a shop, I made my way and walked towards the busiest street in Suzhou City.

As I walk down the street, I pay attention to the outfits of the people who pass by.

Occasionally, people dressed up in alien costumes pass by on the street, and those people always make me look at them a few more times.

I remembered what he had said when I was talking to my brother on the boat, and I was even more sure that the princess had borrowed some of the power of the alien race in the Northlands. Support this war.

If they win, there will definitely be some negotiated conditions between the two sides, and no one will be able to do useless work.

The obstacle you passed on the way. If he didn't think about it, it must have been the handiwork of the Northland, or those aliens who had been the vanguard of such a tricky thing.

We bypassed the main road outside Suzhou. I don't know when the king arrived nearby. Is there more foreshadowing waiting for them?

But while in the car, the teenager denied my speculation.

He believes that the setting of the mechanism is not enough to complete many places in a short period of time, and it is not easy to set up obstacles on the cliffs near the lake.

Crossing Suzhou and getting closer to the national capital, the teenager prefers that more roadblocks will be set up on the road between Suzhou and Beidi, rather than the section from Suzhou to the national capital.

Because the former is vast and sparsely populated, the mountain roads are more remote. To the north, it is even more icy in winter, and the cold air hits people. If you want to pick a place, you will be more inclined to that side.

On the surface, what he said is quite right and reasonable

I thought fiercely in my head, Tianfang's friends are in the capital city, and all kinds of news will reach such a place that outsiders would never imagine.

But the accounts I have come into contact with, the money in them is in and out, and they reached out to the medicine, which shocked me when I checked it.

I have speculation in my mind about this.

When I find my senior brother in Suzhou City, I want to ask about it, the distance from the north is getting closer and closer.

If there is an inside story, I must know it sooner so that I can come up with a solution.

Passers-by passed by, and their conversations drifted in the wind.

"The Great War in the Northland is about to resume, have you heard?"

"I heard that, isn't Master Wang about to arrive here, you say, will Suzhou City affect it?"

I couldn't help but stop, how I had forgotten about it, I had been in the mountains for so long that I was almost not used to the way of thinking outside, as if I was still at the stage of worrying about what to eat next.

This is Suzhou, a new life has begun!

When I first came to Suzhou, it seemed that the places I should go to were the places where I could hear a lot of discussions.

The fastest way to get to know a place.

Restaurants? I weighed the money left after I gave half of it to the teenager, and I am afraid that if this money goes to the restaurant, I will have to go to the gambling house again!

I happened to see a gambling house on the side of the street, which was belittled and hated by the teenager, and when I walked by, my steps faltered, and I remembered his long lessons, and I tightened my back and hastened to leave.

I laughed at myself and estimated where the money could go.

Remembering that I hadn't learned about the prices in Suzhou, I deliberately approached the place where the street was selling.

When I saw the prices of the things on the stalls, I had a rough idea in my mind!

The street stalls sell simple things, and this is actually a barometer of prices in the city!

The little money I have on me is definitely not enough to go to the restaurant, and the young man's angry eyes flashed in my mind for a moment.

At that moment, I was in a trance, even if I thought about it casually, I always vaguely felt in my heart where I had seen that guy?

His eyes, those eyes

Why do I feel familiar, but I can't remember anything, who can tell me?!

I frowned, stood still and thought for a few seconds, still feeling incomprehensible.

Calming down, I looked at the crowded area for a while, and looked at a stall on the side of the street.

I estimate that the money in hand is not enough to even go to a tea house, so it is still safe, but it is always okay to eat a bowl of noodles

A simple shed was set up on the street, and five or six small square tables were placed underneath.

In the cold wind, the steaming noodles at the stalls are a great place to stop in winter.

I asked for a bowl of mushroom noodles from Suzhou, a soup with mushrooms from the mountains, and a little dried shrimp to cook together.

Sitting at the square table occupies a corner, and an old gentleman next to him also orders the same noodles.

I ate half a bowl of the stall and looked across the corner to see a group of people waiting in line at the door of a shop along the street.

I stopped my chopsticks and looked intently.

The old gentleman sitting next door saw it and said to me with a smile: "That's a time-honored brand in the city, the dim sum of Fuyuan Building." ”

"Oh!" I didn't expect someone to take the initiative to talk to me, but I saved the effort of asking, I retracted my gaze and looked at the old gentleman and asked with a friendly smile, "Don't you say I don't know yet!" "I didn't know when I first came to Suzhou, but I felt strange when I saw so many people waiting on the street."

The old gentleman also stopped the chopsticks in his hand, rested on the edge of the bowl, looked at me and smiled: "Where did the little brother come from?" ”

"The capital city." I replied.

"The situation in the Northland is tight, and you still came from so far away," the old gentleman was stunned for a moment, then looked at me and said, "If you plan to buy dim sum from Fuyuan Building, don't buy it here." ”

That's what I said, I was confused!

I looked at the old gentleman and asked with confusion in my eyes, "What do you mean?"

That's right! I really want to buy it, I heard the young man mention it, and I have an impression in my heart, he said that the dim sum made by Guan is too unpalatable, and it can't be compared with the city in Suzhou!

Since you are in the city, the dim sum is not much expensive, so you always want to buy a few pieces to taste.

"You mean the time-honored store in Suzhou City, this dim sum shop is not the best?"

The old gentleman shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that, Fuyuan Building is the best dim sum shop we have here."

"It's just that, it's just that this Fuyuan Building is the most lively place, but in terms of taste, the semicolon near the east of the city is better."

"What is the reason for this?" I find it even more strange.

"Little brother, you don't know when you first arrive, the east side of the city is actually a place where rich and powerful people gather in Suzhou City."

After listening to the old gentleman's words, I frowned, except for the young man, he was the second person to tell me about it.

The old gentleman paused, and continued: "So there are very few restaurants and restaurants over there, although there are few, but the taste is much better than that on the street here!" ”

"The dim sum is also more elaborate, and the price is a little higher."

"Makes sense," I nodded in agreement after thinking about it, "and the merchant is very good at doing business." ”

The mystery here is the same as before the crossing, most locals would not go to those time-honored shops in the scenic spots, pedestrian streets.

They all know that things are better, so why bother to roll in the pile! (To be continued......)
