Chapter 41 Into the county

The waiting time flew by, and in one day, I went up the mountain to chop wood, dried herbs, baked kang, and picked up a basket of mushrooms and other miscellaneous items by the way.

When it came to the next day's small gathering, Pei Yao stuffed the rattan basket she was carrying with herbs, left more food for Duoduo and the chickens, checked the safety of water and fire in the cave, and went out of the mountain to the river.

When I arrived at the side of the road at the entrance of the market, I saw that there were only two ox carts waiting to pull people, and there were not as many cars as there were in the big market, but it was understandable that there were few people in the market, and she was not in the mood to go to the market with things on her back.

The two handlebars on the ox cart saw her standing at the intersection and watched them, the old one didn't wait for the action, the young one was probably less than 30 years old, the handlebar type was lying on the frame with Erlang's legs crossed, chewing a grass root in his mouth, seeing her, a carp stabbed up, jumped off the ox cart, spit out the grass in his mouth, and came over and asked: "Where are you going, our cow is young and strong, and you can run as far as you want!" ”

Pei Yao glanced at the cow behind him, the cow was not old but did not serve carefully, a little sluggish, and the corners of his eyes were full of eye droppings.

The ox in the other cart was older, but stable and clean enough, and stood next to the cow with the handlebar, pulling the bull to look at her, and did not come over.

Pei Yao had a bad first impression of this young handlebar, because of the comparison, she decided to choose the older ox cart to sit in, so she said: "I'm sorry, my father told me to find that uncle's car, my father is used to it, and he is more familiar." ”

When the young handlebar type heard this, he whispered to the side: "What is this like what you are used to doing my car!" I'm good enough for this car! ”

The old handlebar heard Pei Yao say that he was familiar with him, and he also saw that she was an excuse, so he directly pulled the ox cart forward: "Come and get in the car, why didn't your father come out today?" ”

Seeing Pei Yao get into the old handlebar-style ox cart, the young man scolded with a pout: "Old thing! ”

It's a pity that both of them walked some distance and didn't hear it.

The old handlebar drove the ox cart forward, Pei Yao pointed to the direction of the county seat, and turned onto the official road, and the ox cart drove slowly but steadily towards the east county seat.

Pei Yao observed this old handlebar style, the skin on her face was dark and wrinkled, she was in good spirits, she was probably less than 50 years old, she was neither old nor young in ancient times, but her granddaughters at this age were generally older than herself.

The clothes and pants on the whole body, such as the cuffs, the front placket, the knees, etc., although there are many puddings, but the stitches are neat, the whole body is neat and clean, and some silver hair is meticulously combed, wrapped around the top of the head with an old hair band, and the whole person looks neat.

The handlebar turned around and said, "Housheng, your father doesn't often come to make my ox cart, right?" ”

"Well, I didn't want to be that person's car just now, thank you for your relief." Pei Yao said.

The old man smiled: "What's this, you call me Uncle Wu, my home is in Wujia Village in the west of the bridge, and it will take half an hour to cross the bridge." ”

"Uncle Wu." Pei Yao said from the kindness: "When I get to the county seat, I want to walk around, Uncle Wu, you and I will meet at the city gate at noon." ”

Of course, Uncle Wu would not go with her, unless she was going to buy something, and the things had to be loaded in a cart, otherwise their hired handlebar style was waiting at the city gate.

"I'll be waiting for you at the gates at noon."

Listened to Uncle Wu's introduction to the county all the way.

All the way to the gate of the county seat, Pei Yao got off the ox cart, stood outside the city gate and saw the antique city wall gatehouse, with two words written "Li County", and I know one word. Li characters are the same as simplified Chinese characters, and the county characters are guessed...

Pei Yao walked into the city gate with a basket on her back, and she was curious about everything she looked at with her eyes wide open, even the walls in the city gate cave were curious about whether they were made of stone or brick... This is the opportunity to see in ancient times, not everyone has it! Gotta look good.

The two soldiers with spears who passed by the city gate also watched curiously, this dress is the uniform of the ancient soldiers, and it is nothing, but there is a red scarf-style cloth towel around the neck, and then look at the gun in the soldier's hand, well, it is very old.

She stared at others with wide eyes, others were not blind, and she didn't have the same knowledge as her, but she saw a lot of people in the countryside, but she looked around up and down, left and right, after all, she showed the sturdy soldier at the door, and saw his eyes glaring, and said: "You are not entering the city!" ”

Pei Yao shrank her neck, are people curious! It's spicy!

When I entered the city gate, I saw that there was a stone pavement in the middle that could accommodate two carriages, and there were all kinds of shops and restaurants on both sides.

It's already halfway through the morning, and the streets are full of people shopping, men, women and children, except for people passing by in a hurry, the shops are all well-dressed, and it seems that this shop is also taking the high-end route.

Pei Yao walked into the street with a rattan basket on her back, shook her head on both sides of the road, looked at what the shops were like one by one, and saw that the silver building's eyes were about to fall in, most of the ancient gold and silver jewelry were hairpins and step stud earrings or something, very different from modern times, curious!

I also saw a big-bellied uncle in a fancy costume leading the concubine into the silver building. How do you know, you ask?

The little concubine said: Master, can you buy a jade hairpin for Hong'er, people haven't changed it for a long time, so Sister Ru and Sister Qiao have new ones!

The voice was sweet, which gave Pei Yao goosebumps all over her body!
