Chapter 40: The Human Heart

All the way north.

Changting insisted on taking the outer suburbs of the road, I thought that I could not meet my companions on the road, how did I know that I would pass through Lin County, people came and went in the middle of the stubble and stubble from the mountain path out of several large groups of people, there were men and women, wearing dark brown linen, the sturdy men who stepped on mussel shoes were the majority, the women were all holding their hair buns, all of them were women who had gone out of the pavilion, a group of people pushed a few big carts and small carts, people walked around the small carts, and the carts were covered with a thick layer of green linen - this was a large group of people.

In addition, there are also poor people who are in tattered clothes, put a few pieces of broken linen cloth on their bodies to keep out the cold, support crutches, and tremble and walk in the snow.

People seemed to rush towards the small plank road like stormy waves in an instant, Changting was caught off guard, and subconsciously reached out to close Changning's headscarf, covering his face with only a pair of eyes to look at the road, the suburban road was already narrow, and suddenly it became a situation where his feet were close to his feet and his body was next to him.

Changting tightly grabbed the package and protected the young sister with his hand and moved forward with difficulty, nearly a hundred people squeezed forward like a tide, Changting pondered for a while, ready to drag Hu Yuniang backwards, and then go to avoid this wave of people, but the person was small and short, as if he was caught in the middle and couldn't move, not only did he not hold Hu Yuniang, but the crowd rushed farther and farther away.

Changting hurriedly raised his arm with difficulty, waved his arm, and was about to open his mouth to call Hu Yuniang, but after thinking about it, he closed his mouth and increased the force of waving his arm.

The smell of the homeless people who had not been washed for a long time was like glutinous rice that had been stuffed for ten years in dog days, and it was like the smell of rotten wood rotting in the water, lingering on the tip of the nose, and the long pavilion was smoked so white that he almost lost his breath.

Hu Yuniang lifted up from afar, left and right, rushed behind the two sisters, turned her elbow back, and pushed the homeless person who was stuck behind the long pavilion to eat, scolding, "Squeeze a fart!" It's not warm up in a heap! ”

After scolding, relying on his tall stature, he stretched out his hand to block the crowd, and muttered a secret curse, "Grandma has legs, I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out!" was slaughtered first, and then met so many inexplicable people - there is not even a shadow of his mother on this road! I don't know what the fuck hit today! ”

The back of Changting suddenly relaxed, glanced back with his head sideways, and whispered to Hu Yuniang, "Don't be disrespectful!" Don't mess with the group of men in front, and stay away from the homeless people behind! ”

Now that there is no war in the end, it is impossible for Youzhou City to close the city gates!

Yangguan Avenue does not go, but chooses a single-plank bridge in the secluded suburbs, which is done by the common people!?

The gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, she has never set foot in danger, but after a little thought, she can know that she chooses the country road to walk, and most of them are sinister people who slaughter dogs.

Changting and Xiao Changning's identities are now invisible, and they are bent on avoiding the Youzhou government, and they have saved their lives, so they have to innocently drag Hu Yuniang, the previous group of people are strong and healthy, and they live in groups, all the way over with a firm and solemn expression, the small cart is surrounded by people, it is obvious that the people next to them are escorting the cart, but they also have to avoid the official city gate, and the load-bearing cart also insists on taking this suburban path.

Who are they? What's in the cart? Where did they come from and where are they going?

Changting squinted slightly, looking at the back of the front with a clear face.

Aren't they dart gangs?

In order to escape the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes collected by the city government, and relying on many people to escort them, do you have the courage to take a small road to detour, drag out the schedule, and take the small road to avoid the city gate review?

No, no, no.

In this world, the horse gang dart bureau that dares to take the dart is unfathomable, where will care about the money that is dotted up and down the idea?

Could it be that a large business transports smuggled goods and earns money outside the law?

No, the situation is turbulent and fluctuating, there is no city gate that goldfish and silver cakes can't open, money can make ghosts grind, money is enough, let the government send iron horses to help you transport private goods, the government is afraid that they can nod and agree.

Changting walked forward in small steps by the crowd of people, Xiao Changning tightly grabbed the corner of the eldest sister's clothes, and Hu Yuniang took on most of the crowding and impact behind the two.

Wait, if the goods are transported, they can't see the light and can't be on the table? Is it necessary to avoid the government people, take advantage of the loopholes of the law, and transport the flow from the wilderness and mountains that the government has not yet governed, so as to confidently and boldly transport the flow?

At the foot of the long pavilion, the troubled times are turbulent, what is very eye-catching? Rice grain? Salt? Tobacco? Money?

What's more, weapons and armor

"The one in front of me should be a little farther away" Hu Yuniang raised her eyes, her eyes were full of the man's majestic back, and she endured it in her heart, well, she couldn't beat it, she endured it, her eyes turned, and she saw the latter group of people with rickety bodies, yellow-skinned and thin, but she was a little unconvinced, "The weak are partial to help, they support each other when they go out, the big guys are difficult, they can help the foil, why bother to go away?" If there is a double heart of right and wrong, I Hu Deyu can be worth ten and beat them all down! ”

Changting's train of thought was interrupted, and he subconsciously said "ah", and after thinking about it carefully, he understood what Hu Yuniang meant, and couldn't help crying and laughing.

How can this man be childish, plus self-cooked!

What kind of people are that group of old, weak, sick and disabled, does she know? Supporting each other? I might want to stab you in the back! But that day in the valley, they appeared in Hu Yuniang's wooden house for no reason, Hu Yuniang didn't ask anything, and took responsibility to take care of the two of them

Changting thought about it in a deep voice, turned his head, and deliberately suppressed his voice very low, "Even though the group is yellow-skinned and thin, weak and black-faced, they have passed through the deep mountains and old forests of Jueshan safely and soundly. A group of people did not go to the inner city to recuperate, but to go to the outskirts of the city, to increase the amount of travel and the amount of food and salary they needed.

With the four words of ghost in his heart, Changting didn't say it.

Because the strong man who was at the forefront of the previous group of people suddenly turned his head, his eyes looked at the direction of the long pavilion in surprise, and after being surprised, his eyes suddenly deepened, and he suddenly saw an incomprehensible deep meaning.

Changting was stunned!

They were nearly 100 meters away from the man, and the man actually heard her and Hu Yuniang's whispering!

That man is a practitioner!

In the past, the dead soldiers of the Lu family practiced martial arts since childhood, and the best of them could wear Yang in 100 steps, without leaking a drop of water, and they could see thousands of miles at a glance and listen to all directions!

The common people of the Great Jin Dynasty bear heavy and harsh donations, it is not easy to eat and dress warmly, and it is not easy to practice martial arts and lead the way to the guidance of the day after tomorrow, ordinary people have no way to support a practicing family at home, and the children of the scholars are dependent on their identity and bloodline, and it is impossible to condescend to the noble practice of martial arts piling, only the servant family raised in the military family or the family will have this possibility!

Something that both military families and families have to smuggle

Changting gritted her teeth, she avoided it!

"Hey, hey!"

Seeing that Changting had no more words, Hu Yuniang reached out and gently pinched the little girl, and asked quietly, "Anything else, or something!?" ”

As soon as Changting came back to his senses, he didn't pay attention to his feet, a big stumble, and almost pounced on Xiao Changning's back, Hu Yuniang hurriedly reached out and grabbed it, her face frowned, she really didn't understand why even the poor homeless person couldn't get close, everyone is a poor person, life is very hard, one more person to go together, it's multiple insurances, isn't it?

Changting pursed his lips, but his eyes fell on the earlobe of a woman not far away—there was a piercing ear, but it was not plugged with a thick tea stalk like the short and fat woman yesterday.

There are few ear piercings for the poor, one is to unconditionally buy silver jewelry as earrings, and the other is that the ear piercings are not easy to take care of, easy to become inflamed and feverish, and if you are not careful, you will have a fever, which is plain and eventful, so you simply do not fight. Humpty and fat women will collect money, women are beautiful, and naturally they also like beautiful earrings, but Rao is so, she just plugs it with tea stalks.

The latter group of people came in ragged clothes and described as wolves, but the women's ears were all pierced with two ears.

Or the family road is in the middle, but even if the family road is in the middle of the family, it can be regarded as a serious family, so why be afraid of going to the inner city?

Those who do not have a household registration card are fugitives and those who are in arrears, except for those who are wanted by the government.

Either one is not a good person.

"Alas, it's better for you to stay away, don't get too close, anyway, you can't suffer losses and you can't be fooled." Changting leaned sideways to cover his mouth with wide sleeves, and whispered a few words to Hu Yuniang.

Hu Yuniang nodded as if she didn't understand.

As twilight approached, the crowd finally did not rush forward, and after a day's journey, it was always necessary to have dinner.

The whining of the beasts not far from the forest dispelled the idea of Changting wanting to drag Yu Niang to go alone, the three little girls were wrapped tightly in their headscarves, Hu Yu Niang really listened, and did not take out the dry naan cake, only took the water bladder out, and the three of them drank three or two sips one by one, and covered the water cover.

How precious is dry food?

Changting didn't know, but she had heard the travelogue, and she knew that when the previous dynasty fled the famine, someone could exchange her son for a naan!

Nowadays, there are many people, and rashly taking out dry food is like a husband's arms, and it is coveted in vain!
