Chapter 65: Into the City
It was noon, and the sun was shining on their heads, making them feel like they were about to dry out. There was a bustle in front of the city gate, there were traders who traveled from south to north, and there were old and young masters who dragged their families with their families. It's so hot, and everyone is huddled together, and when they get closer, the smell of sweat on the man's body can smoke people back.
Chunting and Luo Yu were mixed in the crowd, and they had already arrived outside Lin'an City last night, and they had been lined up until noon this evening, and they could finally see the soldiers in front of them who were checking their household registrations one by one.
After finding out the two household registers from the unlucky couple that day, Chunting and Luo Yu did not take the country roads in the outer city anymore, and walked along the official road day and night for four days and finally arrived in Lin'an City.
Lin'an is not a big city, but as long as you enter the city, it is better than sleeping in the outside city, and you have to beware of homeless people coming up to rob. When they enter Lin'an City, they can smoothly enter the next city. No matter how barren Lin'an is, at least in this troubled world, the inner city can be regarded as a paradise.
The people of Chunting are small, and they can barely see the scene in front of them when they stand on tiptoe. Luo Yu looked at the little girl who stood on tiptoe and reached the tip of his nose and couldn't help but laugh, "There are people in front, nothing to look at." You can go into the city today, you're worried. ”
Rao is like this, Chun Ting still can't help but be a little worried, they are taking the household registration of others, although the age above is slightly older than them, but they are only two or three years older, their faces are blackened, their hair is scattered, and they can always get through.
took someone's household registration and went into the city as someone else, they would be safe and secure in the future, Chunting always felt that he owed the couple something, although they were not hurt, but it was a worrying thing to stand by and watch, I wanted to help, but I didn't have the strength yet; If you don't help, you can't get over your conscience.
There was a sudden noise behind him, and Chun Ting looked back at a woman holding a child, surrounded by several men. The woman was neatly dressed, her hair was meticulously coiled up with a cloth towel, and she carried a small lotus-colored burden on her back, holding this child who looked like she was less than a year old.
The woman had a beautiful face, but now she was all occupied by terror, and she took a few steps back with the child in her arms, only to bump into another man.
Luo Yu looked at the woman, and then looked down at the Spring Court, only to feel that the lady's dress was simply the Spring Court a few years older, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and leaned towards the Spring Court without a trace. If it weren't for the difference between men and women, Luo Yu would even want to encircle Chunting in his arms to feel more at ease.
But if Chunting is a little Langjun...... Luo Yu suddenly felt a chill, and the handsome little Langjun was just as unhappy in the troubled times. Originally, when I was in the capital, there were not a few people who were willing to play with the little brothers, and they were all things left and right, and they didn't want to look like anything.
Seeing that the leading man's hand was about to touch the woman's face, the old woman was anxious for a while, and wanted to reach out to stop it, but was overturned on the ground, and the old woman said "oops", but refused to give up, and reached out to grab the man's trouser legs. When the woman saw the old woman fall to the ground, she wanted to help her, but the man took her in her arms, and the woman screamed.
robbing people's daughters in broad daylight, is there really no royal law in this world?
Chun Ting felt frightened, and unconsciously touched the dagger on his sleeve. Since that day, Luo Yu has returned this dagger, although it can play a greater role in Luo Yu's hands, but Luo Yu is afraid, he is afraid of this situation. What if the person who is surrounded now is the Spring Garden? At least she could pull out a dagger and give the man a knife.
Oh, if Chunting really fell into this situation, if she couldn't beat the other party, she would probably wipe the dagger on her neck.
This is not a wilderness, and even the onlookers are many times more than that day, but everyone invariably chooses to remain silent, as if this is just a farce, and they are just spectators, watching the drama rise and fall, and the joys and sorrows of the people on the stage have nothing to do with the contract.
It would be nice if this was really a show, isn't there often a scene of heroes saving beauty in the book? Why did they all become cowards in reality?
Although she is a coward herself, she is a girl, and Madame said that when there is danger, they can shrink behind men. Chunting didn't think so, but when it came to the moment of crisis, she found that she was a burden, and she couldn't do anything, and she would only drag others back, so it was better to hide in a safe place and stay honestly.
was feeling the heat and coldness of the world, when he heard the man's wail, he was thrown to the ground in a blink of an eye, and he was stunned when he saw Chunting in such a reversal.
With a biased look, I saw that the person who came was sword-eyed, burly, upright, and stepped on the man with bad intentions under his feet, and the surrounding people were noisy, and Chunting couldn't hear clearly what the man's mouth was talking about, probably reprimanding the man for his unruly hands and feet, and he could think crookedly towards the old and weak women and children.
Chun Ting was fascinated, but suddenly stretched out a hand in front of her eyes and waved it in front of her, Chun Ting came back to his senses, and when he saw that it was Luo Yu, he asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”
Luo Yu was a little speechless, and pointed to the front, "It's coming to us soon, what are you thinking there?" ”
Looking ahead, there were really only two people who arrived at them. Thinking of Fang Cai Luo Yu's question, the ghost of Chunting muttered: "It turns out that there are really heroes in this world who save beauty......
Luo Yu and Chunting were close to each other, and heard the little girl's muttering clearly, and suddenly remembered that she had saved this girl twice, but then she sighed that it turned out that the hero saving the beauty was not just written in the book to fool people, could she not be a hero in her eyes?
But come to think of it, whose hero can be so weak that even a little girl can't protect it.
When they entered the city, the head of the soldiers guarding the city checked the household registration as usual, and Chunting lowered his head and did not dare to look at the head of the soldiers, for fear that they would be stopped outside Lin'an City if there was an accident, oh no, they would be arrested and taken to the prison of Lin'an City.
After a while, the soldier leader asked, "Xingyang people, what are you doing here?" ”
"Yes, yes." Luo Yu nodded and bowed, with a proper flattering look, "What else can I do here, in this world, I can't even eat in Xingyang, if I don't bring my mother-in-law here to join my relatives, I can't starve to death outside." ”
"Defecting to relatives? What kind of relatives? What are you doing in the city? The soldier asked nonchalantly.
Luo Yu said with a smile, "Ling Xiangzhai's third shopkeeper, that's a small distant cousin. ”
"It turned out to be the nephew of Old Xue Tou." The soldier was clear, "Old Xue Tou's life is not easy, he can't even afford to eat, who has the heart to buy his pastries to eat!" ”
"What you say, what you say. But the little one originally relied on the Lord's family to enjoy food, and now the original Lord's family can't support himself, how can he keep us people! It's all begging for food, and I really can't come here to go to my relatives. "Luo Yudao.
Bing Tou suddenly looked at Chunting, "Yo, your mother-in-law's color is good when it comes, you kid can do it." As he spoke, he reached out to pick Chunting's chin.
The little girl's white face was shown like this, and the soldier whistled frivolously, "This is tender, I don't know if I think it's a little girl who has not gone through personnel." ”
Chunting's appearance is placed in the capital, no, even if it is placed in the maid next to Bai Huanru, it is not outstanding, but if it is thrown into this pile of homeless people, it is naturally a beauty. The little girl loves to be clean, and every day she wipes her face with a washed handkerchief, and usually lowers her head and doesn't feel anything, but now that her chin is picked, her appearance is naturally clearly revealed.
Luo Yu's heart was furious, and he wanted to reach out and knock down the claws of the soldier's head, but he couldn't bear it. You can enter the city with patience, and there is no need to ruin all preparations for a trivial matter...... Fuck it!
As soon as Luo Yu was about to make a move, he saw Chun Ting shrinking behind him with tears in his eyes, looking coquettish and timid, and he could cry just by saying something heavy.
The head of the soldier was agitated by Chunting's retreat, as if he was about to scold, but was preempted by Luo Yu, "You are angry, woman, long hair and short knowledge, you have not seen much of the world, you are like her." As he spoke, he took out a small cloth bag from his bosom and opened it layer by layer, revealing a ruby the size of a fingernail inside--it was originally set in Luo Yu's golden crown, and let Chun Ting pry it off with a dagger.
"This is still left by the head of the family, and the small one is useless to take on the body, so it is better to give it to the military master." Luo Yu changed his indignant image, with a smile on his face, and flatteringly handed over the things in his hand.
The head of the soldier took it, took a closer look, and probably couldn't see any name, so he snorted coldly, "Count your kid acquaintance, go over." ”
Luo Yu was grateful, and led Chunting into the city in a hurry.
Chun Ting sniffed and wiped away her tears, Luo Yu's performance was really beyond her expectations, she was a small citizen in the market, if it weren't for that, I was afraid that they wouldn't have entered the city so easily.
Whether it was the conversation with the soldier head, or the final taking out the ruby to bribe the soldier head, if it weren't for the fact that Luo Yu almost couldn't help but fight with the soldier head during the period, it would have been perfect.
Pulling his sleeve and wiping the place that had just been touched by the soldier's head, the material of his clothes was a little rough, and his face was red. Luo Yu saw her movements, and stretched out his hand to stop her, "Don't rub it, it's all red, I'll get water at the post station and wash it well." ”
Chun Ting obediently put down his hand, and after a while, he couldn't help but ask, "How did you know that there was Ling Xiangzhai in Lin'an City?" Do you really recognize Ling Xiangzhai's three shopkeepers? ”
