Chapter Seventy-One: Coming to Fengcheng
The eldest brother saw that Gu Zhengwen was alone, but there were more than a dozen people behind him, how could this gap in numbers be made up for by talking? The eldest brother clenched the knife in his hand and said, "Go on, cut him first!"
The dozen or so people behind him also looked at each other, and then swung their knives at Gu Zhengwen, this group of people was just forced by life to get on this way, and there is no way to say that the world is like this. Gu Zhengwen has seen a lot of this kind of people, basically knows the roots, this group of people pay more food, keep less, can't make a lot of money by selling food, and have to eat and drink at home, so they have no choice but to embark on this road.
The appearance of these dozen or so people forming a gang is definitely a village, and if they do more, they will have no fear, and they only think about how to kill people, and if they continue to change like this, they may not even be able to grow food.
Gu Zhengwen didn't pull out the knife, first, he felt that he could solve them without drawing the knife, and second, he didn't want to take their lives. Everyone is not greedy for money to survive, and it doesn't hurt to spare their lives. I saw that Gu Zhengwen knocked the group of people directly to the ground with his fists and feet, and his strength was not great, but it was enough to make them fall asleep.
By the time the moonlight was revealed, there were already more than a dozen people lying on the ground, and Gu Zhengwen went to sleep with peace of mind.
When I woke up the next day, I turned over and shivered, and I was really cold when I slept outside, but fortunately, it gradually warmed up here, and it was okay to sleep. Jiu Wentian blinked, thinking that it was time for him to get up, otherwise he would delay the big event.
Just thinking about it, Jiu Wentian opened his hazy eyes, but at a glance he saw a person lying in front of him, and he was so frightened that Jiu Wentian jumped up directly from the ground, but then he saw more corpses lying there, and his heart immediately panicked, but he saw that Gu Zhengwen was still sleeping. Jiu Wentian immediately pushed Gu Zhengwen and said, "Brother Gu, come out and take a look, why are there so many people here?"
Gu Zhengwen rubbed his eyes, woke up very reluctantly, then sat up and looked at the people on the ground, and then said casually: "Oh, these, they came to attack last night, and I will solve them, but you don't have to worry, I didn't kill them, they just fell asleep." ”
Jiu Wentian took a long breath and said, "So that's the case, it scared me to death, but it's really right to take Big Brother Gu, otherwise I would have confessed here this night." ”
Gu Zhengwen smiled and continued: "You don't have to be too nervous, after all, this is only the first night, I also see this group of people as pitiful, the next time I meet those extremely vicious people, I will cut them down." ”
"That's too cruel, let's find an inn in the future, after all, it's safer in the inn. Jiu Wentian said helplessly.
Gu Zhengwen nodded, then cleaned up the list on the ground and said: "Let's talk about it later, after all, it's quite cold to sleep outside, and the inns outside the city are also very rare, either stealing customers or robbers." Let's eat something and leave, and when we get to the city, it's probably noon, just in time for the luncheon in Fengcheng, isn't it?"
Jiu Wentian said that you were worried about this, but Jiu Wentian really wanted to see what these exotic customs looked like, so he took out dry food and water from the white jade and handed them to Gu Zhengwen and said, "Let's eat something first, let's go." ”
The two red-maned horses were already on standby, standing straight waiting to leave, and Jiuwen Tian went forward and touched their heads and said, "It's time to go, let you eat something good at noon today." ”
The two horses whispered a few times and then said they agreed, and then Jiu Wentian and Gu Zhengwen each led one and stepped forward, and the two of them clamped the horse's belly and drove away, and the people lying on the ground had not woken up yet, but it was almost there, and it should be fine before noon.
The road leading to Fengcheng is a small forest, and there is nothing in it, but it is specially planted by people to prevent wind and fix the soil. Jiu Wentian couldn't help asking: "Brother Gu, you said that women are in power in Fengcheng, so what do men do?"
Gu Zhengwen explained: "Fengcheng respects women and men are inferior, whether in the city or at home, the status of women is very high, they think that men will only do stupid things, so the average male baby will be abandoned or raised to be a servant or something." How to say, in the eyes of this group of crazy women, men are just tool people, and they have no status at all.
"Just like the group of people on the ground you just saw, it is because they can't eat food themselves or they don't have food rations in their homes that men come out to do this kind of desperate business. Of course, there are people who have been evicted from their homes, you don't have to worry too much, every city is not charitable, there will definitely be people living on the streets and forced to survive, this is just a very normal thing. ”
Jiu Wentian was a little confused, could it be that this is still a matriarchal society? But Jiu Wentian didn't care about these things, after all, each place has its own customs and habits, thinking of this, Jiu Wentian also continued: "By the way, is there anything to pay attention to here?"
"Yes, but I'm afraid you won't be able to control it. Gu Zhengwen said with some difficulty.
Jiu Wentian asked suspiciously: "What does this mean? Tell me quickly, I, as an envoy, naturally have to understand this." ”
Gu Zhengwen said softly: "After all, there are mostly women here, although the status of men is not high, but in order to make a living, you still need to do something, if you are a little nested at night, then ...... Don't go to the Green House...... You, you know?"
Jiu Wentian suddenly understood what this meant, and said very speechlessly: "I'm not talking about this, I mean is there any etiquette to pay attention to, I can't break other people's rules in the past." ”
Gu Zhengwen then also said: "This is nothing, you just treat the women sitting on the stage as men, seeing the city lord is the same as seeing Jiang Fuqing, the rest is to remember to be dominated by women on paper and when speaking, you have to use her next to the female character." There are some other complicated things that I don't quite understand, but you should only go to meet the city lord, and you don't need anything else. ”
Jiu Wentian understood, so he said: "That's it, I know, let's do it, take care of him three seven twenty-one, send the post out first." ”
After about an hour or two, Jiu Wentian and Gu Zhengwen came to the outside of the city gate, which was guarded by two very strong-looking women, and they also held spears in their hands, and looked at the people who came and went viciously, and there were several camps set up on the side of the city gate, presumably some guards were inside.
After Jiu Wentian passed, he was stopped, and the woman's voice sounded very strong, Jiu Wentian once thought that this was a man, it seems that the people here are really simple. The woman said, "What are you two men doing here?!" Fengcheng never accepts men from outside, so you must leave here quickly, otherwise we will not be polite. ”
At this time, the faces of several women were revealed in the tent, and they were smiling at Jiu Wentian stupidly, still holding melon seeds in their hands, and Jiu Wentian could be regarded as experiencing the feelings of girls. Jiu Wentian said helplessly: "I am the envoy of the old city, and in a few days it will be the coming-of-age ceremony of the princess of my old city, and I am here to inform the city lord." ”
The woman looked at the two of them carefully, and then said, "Didn't they all come from Xiao Lebang before?"
Jiu Wentian took out the golden order of the old city, and then said: "I am new here, and Lord Xiao has been resting recently. ”
The other woman looked at the golden order in Jiu Wentian's hand, and then said: "This token is real, it turned out to be the envoy of the old city, and I will take the two of them to the Checheng Lord's Mansion." ”
"I'm tired. After saying this, he followed the woman.
Gu Zhengwen followed Jiu Wentian, but he heard a voice behind him talking about them and said: "Have you seen that envoy? That figure is not bad, the person behind him is too sloppy, but there is a kind of ruffian, alas, when do you say that there will be a female envoy in this old city, what can those men do, it is completely an animal that thinks in the lower half of the body." ”
Gu Zhengwen sneered, but didn't say anything, put on his hat and followed behind Jiu Wentian. There are also the eyes and ears of the Four Elephants Sanskrit Sect and the Black Wind Gate, although there are not many, but the people who lurk in are all masters, and Gu Zhengwen doesn't want to cause more trouble.
Jiu Wentian followed the man, most of the people who came out to buy vegetables on the street were men, and the people who indulged in casinos and other entertainment places were women, and the women sitting on the steps looked straight at Jiu Wentian with her eyes smoking a cigarette. Jiu Wentian thought to himself that it was really upside down here, although he was a little uncomfortable, but it was not easy to say anything, because he had not seen a slightly "normal" woman so far.
In Jiu Wentian's mind, he originally thought that there were all young girls here, and no matter how bad they were, they were all women with charm, but he really didn't expect that there were all "women" among some men here, and it was impossible for Jiu Wentian to be interested in a person with a scar on his face. However, Jiu Wentian also understood that although his mental age was forty or fifty years old, his body was still in his teens.
For some things, I have no interest in some things at all.,But the body is unusually honest.。 Jiu Wentian also felt a little ashamed of this, but it was normal, man, be open-minded.
Gu Zhengwen walked to Jiu Wentian's side, and then said: "There are subordinates from the Black Wind Gate who are watching us, you should be careful, if I guess correctly, there must be people from the Four Elephant Sanskrit Sect nearby, and even the spies of the other three cities, you should be more careful." ”
Jiu Wentian was speechless for a moment, and said: "There are so many identities here, no wonder it is difficult to be an envoy, there is no one around you who can be trusted, and you have to be afraid." ”
