Chapter 23: Selling Firewood
(Thank you for the reward of Xiao Li's year, thank you.) )
Without any sharp teeth, Li Po took the two northland men by his side.
While walking towards the human market, Li Po said this to the two brothers, "The two brothers are government soldiers? ”
"That's natural, when my brother practiced, he was still the captain."
"The two brothers are very skilled......"
"I don't have a lot of ability, otherwise I wouldn't have been beaten by you."
Language is the bridge to communication, that's true.
Although the two brothers are still related, they are not so resentful when they talk about it.
And Li Po's understanding of the military system of the Great Sui is no less than that of the two brothers, and he is even more familiar with the life of the mountains and forests.
When passing through the camp of the homeless camp, looking at the unkempt men, women, and children in the thatched huts, who were not much alive, Shi Da's heart softened.
Before he left the camp, he threw the firewood on his shoulder to the ground.
The urn said angrily: "I don't want these firewood." ”
Shi Er looked at it and began to untie the rope on his shoulder.
Li Po immediately grabbed Shi Er, "The two brothers are good-hearted, but these firewood can't save their lives, one load is enough, you don't have to stay here, besides, if there is no firewood, the two brothers won't look good when they go back." ”
As they walked out of the camp, the two brothers' faces became more and more ugly, and as a result of their soft-heartedness, they had to figure out how to talk to their fellow clansmen when they returned.
Li Po didn't say a word of thanks, originally, the firewood was not for him, so he didn't need to thank himself.
When I felt it, I really didn't see it, the two brothers who looked grumpy and quite fierce actually had good hearts and eyes, much better than those two pretentious monks.
"Don't worry, let's sell the firewood at a good price."
"We're not in a hurry about those two copper coins."
"I know, I know, it's hard to say when I go back."
"Shi Da said, don't let us make trouble in the city."
This Shi Nature does not refer to Shi Da among the two brothers, this big character is the honorific title of the villagers, and the leader of their group of hunters.
"I didn't say anything about it, but in this human city, if we don't want to be fierce, how can we talk to people well?"
"That's right, there are really no good people in the human market."
As he spoke, the three of them had already entered the fence wall of the human market.
There is also a porter in the human market, although the combination of the three looks a little strange, but no one in the porter has come out to ask.
The human market is very dirty and messy, and it is simply a copy of the homeless camp.
Li Po came in for the first time and kept looking around.
This time, there are two hunters around him, but it is different, when he enters the human market, the eyes full of malice will not fall on him.
led the two brothers around the human market first.
The city here in the north is not very large, and some of the yards of the messy houses stand in a circle of fence walls.
There are few pedestrians, and there is no one to clean the snow, and sewage is everywhere and smells bad.
I didn't see any slaves, but the idlers came and saw some, wearing tattered leather jackets, coming and going hurriedly, and some of them had knives on their waists.
The people's market in winter gives Li Po's intuitive impression that it is depressed and cold, and there are few people.
But Li Po has already determined that there are countless sins hidden in every corner here.
But he did not come to punish any sinner, but to find a living in this place where sin is hidden.
It's definitely not going to work.
It also takes a certain amount of time to talk to people, but Li Po doesn't want to delay it for too long.
Soon, he led the two brothers back to the side of the camp camp.
The two brothers gradually talked less, they were no strangers to the human market, but they had never belonged to this place, and they felt uncomfortable all over their bodies after staying here for a long time.
They were tempted to get out of here.
Contrary to his wishes, Li Po stopped, took a brief look, and led them to the door of a large house.
This big house has a courtyard at the back, and it looks like a very grand room in the city.
This can only show that the owner of the house is doing very well, and the business is not small.
However, Li Po came to the door, listened to the sound of shouting inside the door, and shone on the thick door.
The gate protested, and a lot of dust fell, and then it was blown away by the cold wind.
Li Po retreated to the two brothers, and the two brothers were stunned, but they both tensed up.
They felt that they might be beaten again today, this was not any other place, it was a human market, and even if they dragged all their fellow clans over, the result of the provocation would definitely be beaten and rolled all over the ground.
If it weren't for the grandfather's order, Li Dalang would have taken these steps, and their lives would have to be explained here.
didn't care about complaining about this living ancestor, the two brothers only cared about themselves, and their hearts were pounding.
The room was quiet for a while, and suddenly there was a shouting and scolding, and the door opened quickly, and two men with cross-eyed eyebrows stood in the doorway.
As the door opened, the aroma of wine and meat and the heat inside the door poured out together, making the tortured Li Po involuntarily swallow the saliva secreted sharply.
He didn't look at the two villains who were similar to the door gods, and first looked into the room through the gap.
There was a large square table in the front hall, the wine and meat were messy, and seven or eight fierce men had already drunk red faces, but at this time they were all looking at the door.
The two door gods who came out looked very fierce, but Li Po was even more fierce than them, and before they could speak, Li Po roared, "Sell firewood, thirty wen a load, and sell it to your family." ”
The two brothers shrunk their shoulders, and they really wanted to call their mother, it seems that they can't save their fists and kicks today.
But then, the two brothers puffed up their chests and their eyes widened.
When things can't be good, they often arouse their ferocity even more, which is also one of the characteristics of adult men on the side.
The two door gods were immediately happy.
The three in front of him looked very strange, and the tone of the baby who spoke was not small, but it was similar to the beggar on the street, if he was one, he would definitely be dragged in by them for a good beating, and maybe he would be quietly sold.
But this baby is followed by two big men, and at a glance they know that they are hunters who enter the city outside the city to sell firewood.
The two of them laughed while pondering, could it be that this baby is still a Chinese person in the city? Haven't seen it?
There are many wicked people in Mayi, and there are many bright or dark rules in the human market, but I have never heard anyone say that there are people who come to the door to sell firewood.
The two door gods felt a little inexplicable, "Go farther away, go to other houses to sell firewood, and don't look at it, is this a place for you to have fun?" ”
