Chapter 117: The Border

Tang Wan looked at the city gate close at hand, and finally had a sense of security, after half a month of non-stop eating and sleeping, Tang Wan finally came to a border city between the Jin and Song Dynasties - Lingxiao City.

As a border city, the area of Lingxiao City is not large, it is smaller than San'in, about half the size of San'in City. Because of the remoteness, the flow of people is not much, the whole city does not look lively, most of the people on the street are yellow-faced and thin-skinned farmers, who are from the mountains at first glance, all of them are yellow-skinned and thin, showing a sad look, and their expressions are numb.

The city is very small and the population is not large, Tang Wan is very satisfied with this situation, Yelulie will never set up an ambush in such a small border city, she just needs to supply and spend tonight.

Tang Wan walked into the inn in the dust, the shopkeeper of the inn fell asleep on the table, Tang Wan screamed several times, and the shopkeeper woke up from a big dream.

"The girl wants to stay in the hotel?" The shopkeeper was a little shaky.

"What, no? Don't have a house? Tang Wan asked.

"Yes, yes!" The shopkeeper promised again and again: "There is nothing else in the shop, but there are many houses." In the past few months, there are still a few people living in the hotel, and they are all empty! The girl can rest assured that she will choose a good room for you. The shopkeeper chattered as he went upstairs and pushed open a door.

"Look, is this house still alive?"

Tang Wan looked carefully, although the layout in the room was not very gorgeous, there were all the things that should be there, beds, tables, chairs, cabinets, dressers, and black wood of one color, which looked neat and clean.

"Not bad." Tang Wan nodded, when she was out of the house, how could she be so exquisite.

The shopkeeper's chest was straight: "It's not that Lao Er is boasting, there are few inns in the entire Lingxiao City that can compare to my inn." ”

Tang Wan laughed when she heard it, how many are there? There are no more than ten stores in the city. The shopkeeper is so cute.

"Why doesn't anyone live there?" Tang Wan asked, the shopkeeper was dozing off when she came in just now, although this place is remote and the only city within a radius of dozens of miles, it is still the border. Why did the shopkeeper not have the heart to do business and sleep at the gate? Tang Wan guessed that it must not be the reason for the small flow of people.

"Alas! Girl, I'll tell you the truth, this business can't be done! The shopkeeper sighed: "This year's New Year is not good." There is not much production in the field. During the autumn harvest, there was no food at all, and the peasants had to pay taxes to the government, so they managed to survive until winter. Seeing that the Chinese New Year was coming, but there was no food at home, they ran to the mountains to hunt, but how could there be so much prey on the mountains? There are a lot of people. Even the hunters in the mountains did not harvest. ”

Is it bad to get a good year? Tang Wan frowned, saying that she really hadn't paid attention to this. She has no worries about food and clothing, where will she pay attention to the life of the peasants?

"You see that the whole family is coming to the city, where is there so much food in the city? If you can't get by, who can give to others all the time? …… There have been fewer people in the city for the past two days. The county lord drove many begging people out of the city, where did the girl come from? Don't see the tents outside the city? The shopkeeper chattered a lot, and finally asked Tang Wan.

"People?" It doesn't seem to be. She was in a hurry, not paying attention to the people outside.

"It's not just us. This is the case in several nearby counties, and the girl will find out if she walks a few more places. The shopkeeper continued, shaking his head with a wry smile, "Even food and clothing can't be solved, who still comes to live in the store, and if I go like this, my store will close sooner or later!" ”

Tang Wan nodded, didn't she?

"Shopkeeper, please get some reads();." Tang Wan took out a few pieces of broken silver and handed them to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper shook his head: "Girl, this bit of silver is enough to live in the store, but you really can't buy any food, don't embarrass the old man." ”

When Tang Wan heard this, she took out two more pieces of silver: "Is this enough?" ”

It's really a natural disaster, prices are rising, she came all the way, and this ghost place is the most expensive. Could it be that the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is a disaster year? It seems that she has calculated well, look at the recent weather, what is going on!

"Girl, you wait, I'll get you something to eat." The shopkeeper smiled on his face, there is a business, it's not easy!

Tang Wan ate, took out the copper coin and threw three hexagrams, the hexagram is normal, there will be rain in five days, and it will not rain for a few days in winter, isn't it normal? Even if it is not for a month, it is normal, the shopkeeper said that the weather was bad last year, so this year should be okay, Tang Wan pushed open the window, looked at the twinkling stars in the sky, and counted it again.

That's right, the coming year will be smooth, don't worry. Counting this, Tang Wan smiled, what was she worried about, she was not the emperor! …… However, it is always good to have good weather and good weather, and the life of the common people is always better.

But who said, "Xing, the people are bitter; Death, the people suffer. "Lao Du or Li Bai? Tang Wan was a little dazed, it didn't take long for her to forget many things in modern times, and in a few days, would she forget them?

Tang Wan silently walked back to the house, lit the candlestick, looked at the blurred shadow in the bronze mirror, and suddenly couldn't recognize who the person inside was. Who am I? Tang Wan, Jin Wan?

Eyebrows, apricot eyes, Qiong nose, red lips, and pretty face still have Tang Wan's gentleness, but there is a trace of indescribable changes between her eyebrows, and when she saw Jin Wan's shadow, she was a little dazed, and she couldn't tell who this face looked like. Born from the heart, is it true that a person's appearance is really related to temperament, otherwise why would she have changed so much?

If it changes, it changes! What other impact could it have other than remind her of certain marks from her past life? What do you do when you think so much, no matter how much you think, you can't go back to modern times, you can't do anything! Tang Wan extinguished the candles, turned over and went to bed, and she had to hurry tomorrow!

On the second day, Tang Wan got up early in the morning, walked around the market, spent a lot of money but didn't get much, just as the shopkeeper said, there were too few things and too expensive. Tang Wan didn't pick and choose, she bought food for three days and went home, and along the way, she saw a few people looking at her frequently, their eyes bold and explicit, staring at her baggage. Tang Wan didn't care.

Back at the inn, Tang Wan took out the horse and was about to go on the road, but unexpectedly, there were a bunch of boxes of different sizes blocked at the door, and she couldn't pass at all!

When the visitor saw Tang Wan leading the horse, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly ran over to greet her: "Girl, you want to go out!" I'm sorry, there's really too many things, let's clean it up, girl, wait, it'll be fine in a while! Where is the girl going? ”

"Hurry up and clean up!" Tang Wan avoided answering.

The man ignored Tang Wan's coldness, and continued to say enthusiastically: "My wife and young lady are going to Lin'an, I don't know if the girl is on the way, how about we go together?" By the way, my wife is from the Lin'an Zhu family, the wife of Zhu Dazai. ”

Zhu Dazai? Prime minister?

Tang Wan shook her head, decisively not recognizing. However, if you are the prime minister, you can consider going along.

"Girl, it's not safe for you to go on the road alone, so it's better to take care of you with us." The man extended the invitation again. (To be continued.) )
