When the young man heard Wang Lanling's name, he said in surprise: "You are Wang Lanling of Heishui County, the director of the Water Affairs Department?" ”

Wang Lanling didn't expect to be so famous, so he nodded and said, "That's right, it's me!" This time I'm here to do something in the county. ”

The young man quickly clenched his fists and bowed his head, "I collided just now, Xiaomin forgot his hometown, meet the adults!" ”

Wang Lanling always felt that everyone couldn't pronounce clearly, and it was really troublesome to introduce the name or something.

"It's okay, you're good for me." Wang Lanling turned his head and glanced at the shampoo room, and then said to the young man, "Have you been there?" ”

Wang Lanling's eyes were full of curiosity.

Hu Wangxiang quickly said: "No, but the people around me say that it is not a good place, it hurts both money and body, and Xiaomin also saw that many people who came out of it were vain, and the demon girl inside tried to use flattery on me, and I glared back angrily." ”

Wang Lanling sighed, looked at Hu Wangxiang and said, "You haven't taken a daughter-in-law yet, have you?" ”

Hu Wangxiang said solemnly: "I haven't made a name for myself yet, where can I have time to marry a wife." ”

Wang Lanling felt a little strange about Hu Wangxiang, "Are you a scholar?" Middle school or high school? ”

Even if he is a college student, Wang Lanling will not be surprised now.

Hu Wangxiang looked ashamed, blushed, and puffed up his breath and said: "I have never enrolled in school, but I just clean the toilet and courtyard in the school, and I often listen to some of them." ”

Wang Lanling thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Is it because there is no money?" ”

Hu Wangxiang said embarrassedly: "My father died early, and there are younger siblings and mothers at home, and I usually have to work to supplement the family, where is the money to study." ”

"yes, I just remembered that today is the weekend, what do you usually do?" Wang Lanling was more curious about this young man's affairs, and he also wanted to know how ordinary people made money.

Hu said: "I usually clean up in the school, help with chores, and when I go home, I will help the illiterate people write letters to their families, and I will also help unload and move some things. ”

When Wang Lanling heard that it was this kind of work, he thought that this person should be better at writing.

This kind of thing doesn't matter, Wang Lanling is more concerned about another thing.

"What kind of martial arts are you practicing?"

Hu Wangxiang replied: "The internal strength of Xiaomin's cultivation is the Taoist "Sendai Puhua Thunder Light Sutra", and the martial arts is "Dazheng Fist". ”

Ma Dan ...... I don't understand at all......

Wang Lanling paused and said, "Do you know any martial arts that can prolong life?" ”

"Yes!" Hu Wangxiang quickly said: "The master of our school is practicing "Childish Divine Skills", as long as he is not close to women, even if he is seventy or eighty years old, he can walk like flying. ”

Nima's, labor and management have long been ruined!

There was really nothing to say to this person, so Wang Lanling said: "Okay, meeting is also fate, do you know if there are any places in the city that sell delicious food, I will treat you to a meal." ”

Hu Wangxiang quickly excused himself and said: "It's okay to take adults there, you don't need to eat, I still have to write letters to people, and I can't let people wait for me." ”

Wang Lanling said directly: "Then you tell me where the snacks are delicious, I'll go by myself, you write a letter to find me, if I'm still here, I'll tell you something, if I'm not there, forget it." ”

Hu Wangxiang felt that this was okay, so he said: "Go south to the mouth of two alleys, the third alley mouth to the left, there are people selling cold noodles, corn, dumplings, wontons, and roasted sparrows in the alley, my sister is helping people make dumplings, I heard her say that the fish and meat vermicelli sold there are very delicious, not expensive, a dime and a big bowl." ”

"Well, I see, you can get busy."

"Xiaomin farewell!" Hu Wangxiang turned around and went to work.

Wang Lanling continued to walk forward, he was still a little self-aware, and he didn't provoke those demon girls who might be evil kung fu.

The standard of living in the county and the county are two different things, looking at the lively stalls on both sides, Wang Lanling realized that the people here and the people of Heishui County will not understand each other, whether it is the language or the position of their respective lives.

Walking into the alley, here and left are the places that sell snacks, and the outermost ones are selling cold powder and corn, and after walking a few steps inside, Wang Lanling saw a shop selling dumplings.

There was a boiler and a table in the shop, and a small stove outside, and because it was still morning, there were few people on the street.

Next to the sewer ditch outside the dumpling shop, a little girl with her hair coiled back was sitting next to a wooden basin washing clothes, and looked up after feeling Wang Lanling's gaze.

The two looked at each other, Wang Lanling was thick-skinned, and the little girl quickly lowered her head and continued to wash her clothes, rubbing the clothes in her hands vigorously on the washboard.

Wang Lanling walked up to the little girl and said, "Don't do the laundry, I'll take you to drink fish soup." ”

The little girl who was washing clothes stopped what she was doing, raised her head to look at this person, and looked at Wang Lanling with confusion and disgust.

"This young master, I don't know you." The little girl didn't want to deal with this disciple.

Wang Lanling saw that he had failed to talk, so he said helplessly: "Then I'll drink it myself, what's your name?" When I just asked someone for directions and said where the snacks were good, the person said that the fish meal in front was delicious, and said that his sister was making dumplings, wasn't it? ”

After hearing this, the little girl's expression softened a lot, and she said kindly: "My surname is Hu, everyone calls me Mulberry, do you know my brother?" ”

"Well, he's going to write a letter, if you're not busy washing your clothes, come with me to eat something, I'm not familiar with this place for the first time in the county." Wang Lanling is still very willing to talk to the little girl.

is different from the little girl who sells zongzi, this little girl is a very beautiful, young and lively little girl.

"You wait for me, I'll wash this clothes and go over."

Wang Lanling stood outside and waited for a while, Hu Sangbao washed the clothes and put them in the empty basin, and then went into the house to talk, and another girl with a child came out to help look at the store.

The two went inside together, and Wang Lanling asked, "Isn't your shopkeeper there?" ”

"The shopkeeper went to play mahjong, and he won't come back until noon, usually the store is me and the proprietress and her son and daughter-in-law are helping, Bingbing who came out just now is the granddaughter of the proprietress, and someone will call me back, not far."

Hu Sangbao explained, and then asked with a smile, "What's your name?" Look, as old as me, I'm fourteen, what about you? ”

"I'm also fourteen, I live in Heishui County, my name is Wang Lanling, your brother is Hu Wangxiang, you are Hu Sang, what are the names of your younger brothers and sisters?" Wang Lanling felt that the name was wrong.

Hu Sangbao explained: "I have a daughter, my two elder brothers and a younger brother, the eldest brother Hu Wangxiang, the second brother Hu Guiqiao, and the younger brother Hu Santu. ”

"Your father must have been a man of culture." Wang Lanling said with emotion, fortunately, he didn't use that famous sentence in this place.

Hu Sangbao was a little unhappy, and said: "My father used to be a guard on the Muzhou side, and then surrendered here, and he has been living here, and he named it in the hope that we will not go back to Muzhou, I was born here, and I don't know about the Muzhou side, I heard that it is very poor, or the county is better." ”

Wang Lanling didn't know about this, and after finding out that the generals who surrendered were treated so poorly, he couldn't say anything.

When the two came to the store, Wang Lanling looked at it and ordered two bowls of fish meal, that is, some vermicelli and vegetables were added to the boiled fish soup, which tasted good, but he couldn't eat enough.

Wang Lanling had a small amount of rice, but because he didn't eat enough at Zhao's house in the morning, he still ate most of the bowl, and the last bit of grinding and chirping was that he couldn't eat it.

Hu Sangbao's bowl of fish soup was drunk cleanly, even the fish bones were bitten.

At this time, Hu Wangxiang had not yet come.

Hu Sangbao saw that Wang Lanling had no intention of settling the bill, so he said, "I'm going back to work, what about you?" ”

Wang Lanling didn't want to move when he was full, and said, "I want to go to the bookstore to buy a copy of "Quotations from the First Emperor". ”

When Hu Sangbao heard this, he said, "Then I'll take you there, I also want to see what the bookstore looks like." ”
