Although the roads in the city are relatively smooth, there are still some bumps in the carriage. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mo Bai, whose body was extremely weak, still felt dizzy and swollen for a while, and his face was even more pale as paper, extremely uncomfortable.

But he never said anything, and instead of sitting on the bench in the middle of the carriage, he sat cross-legged on a futon, frowning slightly, closing his eyes and meditating to resist the pain of the bumps in the carriage.

I don't know how long it has been, but suddenly, the bumpy carriage began to slow down slowly, and Tie Xiong's voice came from outside the door at the right time: "Sixth Master, it's almost time to get to the city." ”

"Huh?" Mo Bai opened his eyes, looked in the direction of the car door, and just saw the car door open a gap, revealing Tie Xiong's face full of beards, and took a closer look at his eyes, seeing that he was still calm, Mo Bai didn't say much, just nodded lightly and said, "Got it." ”

"Later, the soldiers will investigate, you will follow our discussion, just sit in the car and don't move, I have also deliberately entered and exited the city in the past few days to try, and I have not seen them recognize me. Even if there is an accident, they must let you get out of the car to check later, don't panic, just leave it to me to deal with, these people just want to get more benefits under the pretext......" Tie Xiong was still a little worried that Mo Bai would be exposed, and explained again.

"Well, good!" Mo Bai nodded again, got up from the ground, put away the futon, sat back on the bench in the car, set up a quilt that had been prepared long ago, covered his body, leaned on the carriage, held a pair of blue handkerchiefs in his hands to cover his mouth and nose, and coughed lightly.

This gesture, coupled with his pale and bloodless face, made the whole person look like a tuberculosis ghost, and people would be born in their hearts when they looked at it, and they were deeply afraid of touching it, so as not to get infected with bad luck.

Tie Xiong nodded slightly, and then carefully looked at its face, making sure that if it were not for someone as familiar as himself, it would be difficult to see the clues, and then closed the door again, and the carriage moved slowly.

"Ahem, cough, cough ......," Mo Bai sat in the car and coughed a few times from time to time.

Tie Xiong may think that Mo Bai's posture is still for the purpose of camouflage, but in fact, he doesn't know that this is actually Mo Bai's true appearance at the moment.

When his body swayed with the bumps of the car, if he didn't rely on willpower to endure it, he really was just like this.

coughed a few times, his chest was slightly soothed, and his white eyes moved away from the handkerchief in his hand, his eyes drooped slightly, and he clearly saw that there was a shocking red on the blue handkerchief.

Shaking his head slightly, he gently exhaled a breath of turbidity, Mo Bai withdrew his gaze, lowered his handkerchief, and closed his eyes again.

It didn't take long to hear a commotion outside the car window.

"Stop, Stop......"

"Yes, it's just you, what are you running? Yes? What to run? Smack......"

"Roll, roll, get out of ......"

"Oh, the little girl looks pretty smart, come, come, come and check ......."

Mo Bai, who closed his eyes, opened his eyes again, knowing that this was the gate of the city, and these noisy noises must have come from those soldiers who were interrogating.

But at this time, he still couldn't help frowning at the sound in his ears, it was really these voices, which seemed to come out of the mouth of a soldier, it was like a ruffian hooligan who was making trouble for nothing.

The carriage slowed down again, and Mo Bai gently lifted the curtain of the carriage window, lifted a corner, and looked at the source of the sound.

I saw that less than fifty meters in the distance, several soldiers with waist knives were scattered around the city gate.

There are people sitting in the scaffolding on the side, I don't know if they are drinking tea or drinking, and there is even a person who is squatting in the corner of the city gate and holding a roast chicken in his hand.

Of course, there are also those who stand at the gate of the city to check, and those frivolous voices that shout are made by these checking soldiers.

At this time, it was still early, the sun had just risen, and the city gate should have just been opened, and there were still many people waiting for the examination.

Entering the city, going out of the city to divide the two sides, most of the people who entered the city carried burdens, some old and some young, it seemed that they did not go far away, but they were originally countrymen, and they returned home after working in the city.

Recently, most of them are middle-aged men, who should have gone to the city to work, and some elderly people, who carry baskets or baskets, and it seems that they should have come to the city to sell something to subsidize the family.

Mo Bai This is the first time he has really seen folk life, he has been in Beijing before, of course, he has seen the people, but the capital is different.

This is the real folk, his eyes focus on the service posture of these people, and at a glance, his heart is slightly heavy.

Not to mention silk and satin, more than ninety percent of the people are coarse linen shirts, and even if it is just coarse cloth, there are not many long shirts, all of them are short, and the tattered patches are even more common at a glance.

His gaze was slightly raised, and he looked slightly at the faces of those who were about to enter the city to face him, even if they were far away, Mo Bai seemed to be able to feel the fatigue of running for life in the eyes of these people.

However, under this predicament, Mo Bai can clearly be seen, those soldiers who are interrogating are scolding and scolding from time to time, and even look at someone who is not pleasing to the eye, and will also wave their fists and feet.

Seeing that the middle-aged man who looked tall lowered his head, laughed and waved in the midst of their shouting and scolding, picked up the messy package that they turned over, and bowed away......

"Hey, this bun is pretty good, it's just that there's a little less meat......"

"Yes, yes, the military master is tolerant, tolerant, the grandson of the little old man's family is sick, waiting for money to buy medicine, there is really no money to buy meat, wait for the little old man to sell these buns today, make two small dollars, tomorrow the little old man will definitely give you a few stuffed ......"

"Well, sensible, sensible! Come, come, brothers, come and have a taste......"

Mo Bai lowered the curtains, closed his eyes slightly, but his mind could not fade away, this old man had tears in his eyes, watching these soldiers take away the steaming buns in the burden they picked up I don't know how far, but they didn't dare to resist, but played the scene of haha flattery.

"Tetsuo!" Mo Bai let out a soft voice.

"Sixth Master!" Suddenly hearing a sound in the car, Tie Xiong hurriedly opened the corner of the car door and looked at Mo Baiying.

"Call the old man who sells buns over and buy two!" Mo Bai opened his eyes and said in a low voice.

"Huh?" Tie Xiong seemed stunned, and then glanced back at the team in front of him, and saw that there was still a while, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll buy it for you!" ”

"Well, you go and ask him what his grandson is suffering from?" Mo Bai didn't look up, but said softly.

Tie Xiong was about to leave, and when he heard this, his figure suddenly froze, and he glanced back at the white posture again, and replied in a deep voice: "Okay!" ”
