Chapter 573: You Are Honest
Zhang Xiaowu didn't care about the warnings of these knights, a group of reckless people, what could they do in this dragon capital? When he came to the front of the church, he saw the grass again, and they were still sheltering from the rain. One of them gestured to a bearded man, and the bearded man recalled, so he deliberately walked towards Zhang Xiaowu and bumped into him.
Unexpectedly, before the bearded strong man was next to Zhang Xiaowu, he was stabbed in the stomach by Zhang Xiaowu with a very fast punch. The strong man wanted to anger Zhang Xiaowu, and then slandered him as a thief, and then beat this person in groups, and finally robbed the girl. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaowu didn't say a word, but the strong man was beaten to the ground, foaming at the mouth and twitching his limbs, and fainted in pain after a while.
And the crowd dispersed, and their hearts said, "Why did this man fall to the ground?"
The rest of the Jianghu men immediately gathered around to inspect the situation, and one person hurriedly asked, "Ding Hua, Ding Hua, how are you?" But the Jianghu guest named Ding Hua had already fainted and couldn't wake up for a while.
Zhang Xiaowu pretended not to know, and hid aside to watch the excitement, and those people saw that the bearded man couldn't wake up, and they all showed incredible expressions, as if they were thinking about what he was sick with.
"Maybe it's the plague, I saw it when I was back home!" Zhang Xiaowu hid behind the crowd and shouted, "That's it, I suddenly fainted, and then I died." β
Suddenly, the people in the shop scattered in all directions, no matter whether it rained or not, no matter how cold the weather was, at least they would not be infected with the plague if they ran out. The shopkeeper also wailed and shouted: "What kind of life have I been to blood mold, how can I put such a thing on the stall, you go, you all go, take your people away, don't be in my store." A few shopkeepers began to drive people away, and the shopkeeper said, "Hurry up and carry him away, don't die in my shop, beware of me suing you." β
A charlatan said angrily: "Have you done this business? β
The shopkeeper sneered: "You live in the store, you live in the store, I just open the door to do business, you come to the store with the plague, and if you don't live in the store, you will also infect others, how can people not dare to leave you." Go, go! β
The man said angrily, "We'll stay." β
The shopkeeper said, "I'm sorry, but the shop doesn't accept plague patients. β
The man was furious: "My brother has no plague. β
"Where are you from?"
"From Yizhou."
"Look, now that there is a plague in Yizhou, you still say that you are not a scourge? Let's go, I'm not going to do your business today. The shopkeeper exclaimed, "I'm not going to do your business today!" β
The man immediately pulled out his sword, and his subordinates also drew their swords, and the shopkeeper sneered: "Chen Erxiao, report to the official quickly, and tell Yinyi Wei that someone is making trouble in Longdu, I think anyone dares to make such a mistake." You have the courage to fight against the Silverguards, and tell you that one Silvercoat will not kill ten of you. β
Several men looked at each other, it may not be like provoking the silver guard, although they are from the rivers and lakes, they also know the name of the silver guard, compared to the national spy agency Jin Yiwei, the group of silver guards is the national thug, so they snorted, set up Ding Fu, put on the hat and turned to leave.
When the shopkeeper saw them walking away, he spat on the ground fiercely, and said disdainfully: "What the hell, a group of southern barbarians." Because the Shenghan Dynasty inherited from the Tiantang Empire, and the Tiantang Empire was the Central Plains Empire, many people always believed that the Central Plains was the symbol of the Shenghan civilization, so they despised the people in the remote areas, and always felt that others were people from the wilderness, and there were not many advanced civilizations, and they did not even accept indoctrination.
This kind of discrimination is especially true to the people of Longdu City, just like the small people in Beijing and Shanghai before Zhang Xiaowu's crossing, in addition to relying on discrimination against outsiders who do not have a local hukou, they also look down on outsiders with little income.
This shopkeeper obviously belonged to this kind of local who discriminated against outsiders, because when he turned around and saw Zhang Xiaowu, he said with a smile: "Guest officer, what do you need?" β
"Is there a brazier?"
"Brazier...... Yes, there can be. β
"Bring a brazier and two pairs of quilts."
"Okayβgotta pay for it."
Zhang Xiaowu happily gave the money to the shopkeeper, and instructed him to buy two bowls of broth and four dough cakes to send, the shopkeeper asked whether it was fragrant meat or mutton, Zhang Xiaowu was curious about what fragrant meat was, and the shopkeeper said that fragrant meat was dog meat, and mutton could also be found, but mutton soup was more expensive. Zhang Xiaowu asked him to send two bowls, a bowl of fragrant broth and a bowl of mutton soup.
After there was no one in front of the hall, Zhang Xiaowu returned to the upper room, the so-called upper room is a separate guest room, the store has six upper rooms, and the remaining five rooms are occupied, after Zhang Xiaowu and Miss Ye entered, there was no place in the upper room. The rest of the guests want to stay in the hotel, they can only live in the ordinary room, the ordinary room is the Chase Shop, there is a very long earthen kang in one room, the earthen kang is padded with reed mats, covered with a quilt that I don't know how many people have covered, and there are even lice on the quilt......
Even this upper room is not very clean, but because it is too cold, Miss Ye has to hide on the bed wrapped in a quilt, and her beautiful little cherry face is also white.
"Ahh Miss Ye rubbed her nose and found that she had a runny nose, so she hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped it.
The door creaked open, and Miss Ye looked up and saw Zhang Xiaowu, who had failed in the disguise technique, walking in with a brazier. Miss Ye hurriedly asked, "Why did you bring it yourself, what about the shopkeeper?" β
"I'll tell him to bring another quilt."
Miss Ye was about to say that she would never live here, sharing a room with him alone and widows, when she heard him say again: "Girl, where is your home?" Wait a minute, I'll ask the store to hire a sedan chair driver and send you back. After all, you and I meet in the water, lonely men and widows live in the same room, if someone talks about it in the future, how can I prove my innocence? β
Miss Ye was almost so angry that she vomited blood, her originally pale little face suddenly turned red like a small apple, she bit her lip and said, "What nonsense, I have to prove my innocence." I thought you were a decent gentleman, but I didn't expect to joke with me at this time, hum! β
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Come on, come on, bake a fire, this charcoal pot cost me a tael of silver, and it is also dangerous to use a charcoal pot, in case the house is too closed, it will cause carbon monoxide poisoning - forget it, you don't understand." By the way, Miss Ye, I haven't asked Fang Ming yet. I can't keep calling you Miss Ye, right? β
Miss Ye's eyes rolled and said, "Our family is called Ye Shishi." β
Zhang Xiaowu praised: "People called Shishi are all beauties who have fallen into the city and the country, I knew a woman called Shishi before, and you two have a comparison." β
Ye Shishi asked, "How is she?" β
Zhang Xiaowu thought for a while and said, "She is kind, smart, and beautiful. β
Ye Shishi asked for no reason: "What about me?" β
Zhang Xiaowu didn't think about it: "You are kind and smart. β
"......" Ye Shishi waited for a while and asked anxiously, "And then?" β
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Honesty." β
Ye Shishi said angrily: "You mean I'm not beautiful?" β
Zhang Xiaowu smiled: "Either you are honest." β
Ye Shishi: "......"
