The night is blurry, the mist is drifting, there is a bright moon in the sky, the sky and the earth are white, and suddenly there is a light sound of the bang, and before you know it, it is three o'clock.

In ancient times, an hour was equal to two hours in the afterlife, because an hour was divided into four quarters, so each moment could be turned into half an hour in the future (not the kind of boss who wanted to add a clock.) ）

It is from 21 o'clock to 23 o'clock, and at 3 o'clock, it is half past 22 in the later generations.

The ancients went to bed early, and they basically went to bed at this time, but because there was no curfew tonight, the people in the city were still staying on the streets and were reluctant to go home.

When Li Yun walked to the third table with his wine glass, Wang Si was walking slowly on a long street in Bohai City, it was three o'clock, but the unspeakable noise on the street, Wang Si walked out of the gate of the national mansion all the way, and his old face was always with inexplicable emotion.

The noise and liveliness of Bohai City made it difficult for this former patriarch with five surnames and seven wangs to calm down.

In this era, Haishi is the point to go to bed and rest, but in this newly built Bohai City, it seems that the people do not have the habit of falling asleep at Haishi.

Looking at the whole world, Chang'an does not have to be prosperous in the Bohai Sea.

Yes, bustling!

The place where the people gather with smiles on their faces is prosperous.

Wang Si looked back and found that the few hundred horsemen who secretly followed him were still pretending to wander, Wang Si smiled, he didn't feel afraid, he was very grateful to Li Yun for giving him a chance, so that he could not suffer from prison punishment before he died.

Not only is he not punished, but he also walks around casually, it seems that the Lord of the Bohai Sea doesn't care if he dies or not, he just wants to let himself take a good look at his Bohai City.

"Then the old man will take a good look at ......"

Wang Si muttered in his mouth, and suddenly walked towards a stall on the side of the street.

When I got closer, I found that there was a big pot of boiling hot porridge in this stall, the heat in the pot was rising, the thick porridge was bubbling, and there were about a dozen small stools next to the cauldron, and some people were sitting on the stools drinking hot porridge.

Although Wang Si participated in the wedding banquet tonight, he didn't eat any of the dishes on the wine table, he felt a little hungry in his stomach, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his waist.

When I touched it, I remembered that I was now a prisoner who was about to die, and I used to eat and never worry about eating and drinking, but now I wanted to buy a bowl of hot porridge on the street, but I was deeply trapped in the bag that I had only read in a book.

He sighed slowly and stood by the pot looking at the people eating porridge.

Suddenly, the shouter who cooked porridge picked up the spoon and drank at Wang Si, this shout looked very scary, especially when he stared, there was an indescribable ferocity, but the words that came out of the big man's mouth made Wang Si stunned.

I only heard this shouting and shouting: "Do you old man eat or not?" Is it a shame to eat soup soup when you're hungry? If you don't eat, just stand next to it, don't stand in the way of the people behind you, look at you like a blessed person, how to be down when you are not as brave as the common people, say, whether to eat or not to eat, if you eat, take the bowl yourself. ”

Bang!

A large bowl of the sea was placed on the table.

Wang Si was stunned for a long time, stretched out his hand and pointed to the cauldron in front of him, and hesitated: "This is soup kitchen?" It's so strong? ”

Dahan immediately despised him.

A group of people who were eating porridge by the pot laughed, and an old man who was about the same age as Wang Si beckoned and said: "Old brother come and sit here, I see that you have just arrived in Bohai, our soup soup in Bohai City is not only very thick, but also there is a piece of big fat in it, don't stand still, you are not ashamed to be down, come and eat a bowl of hot porridge together, and then go shopping with all your energy." ”

"Shopping?"

Wang Si subconsciously looked up at the sky.

The old man smiled again, and said in a loyal tone unique to the people: "We poor people, there is not much we can do, tonight our lord is married, we poor people can't help much, so we all spontaneously wander the streets, and the big guys want to make this city lively......"

As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Si, and said earnestly: "Lively, it means that people live without pressure, lively, it means that this city is a good place, the lord of the country likes to see the people lively, then we poor mud legs will be lively." ”

The old man's words are actually very ordinary, and an ordinary person can't say too profound words, but it is such a simple and simple paragraph, Wang Si listens to it like a morning bell in the evening.

Ordinary people take the initiative to go shopping in the middle of the night for only one reason, they want to keep this city lively.

Because, their kingdom is going to get married.

Lively means that this city is a good place.

He suddenly had the illusion that he, as a well-educated Confucian, couldn't say such profound words.

……

Boom!

The big man was knocking on the spoon again, and shouted impatiently: "Old man, do you eat or not?" If you don't eat, give the people behind you a piece of land. ”

"Eat! The old man wants to eat! Wang Si suddenly spoke, for some reason he said it very easily, and he didn't have the kind of lowly despise in his heart, but felt that it was normal to say it.

"Take the bowl when you eat, don't be stupid." The shouting was a glaring of eyes, and his face was full of flesh and looked particularly fierce.

Wang Si smiled, stepped forward to pick up the big bowl, and before he could speak, he suddenly heard a bang, and when he reacted, he found that it was the big man who viciously filled his bowl with porridge.

After it was full, Dahan glanced at him and suddenly asked, "How old is this year?" ”

"How old am I?" Wang Si was slightly stunned, and then subconsciously said: "The old man is seventy out of fifty this year. ”

"Yo, it's an elder!" The big man snorted, and suddenly stirred the spoon into the pot, obviously he was very careful when he mixed it, but he scolded and scolded on his mouth, as if he was very angry: "I have lived so big, I can't starve you, I don't know what the lord thinks, I have to set the rule that the elderly over fifty years old must give meat to eat, is Bohai City very rich?" It is not easy for the lord of the country to earn money......"

While scolding and scolding, he kept stirring the spoon, and suddenly snorted coldly, the spoon scooped out a piece of big fat meat from the pot, and smashed it into Wang Si's bowl with a bang, his eyes were still very fierce, and his face was full of meat as if he was trembling, but the words he said were clearly very heartwarming, and he said to Wang Si: "Go to the table and sit and eat slowly, if you are not full, you can ask for it casually." ”

Wang Si was stunned and held the big bowl, looking at the big fat that had just been added to the bowl. Suddenly, his pupils froze, and he saw the big man's legs behind the cauldron......

Two legs, one of which is crippled.

Wang Si subconsciously wanted to turn the angle and take a closer look at how the big man was crippled, but the big man glared at him fiercely, and scolded and scolded: "I said you old man, don't get in the way behind." ”

Wang Si didn't care about his ferocity, just stretched out his hand and pointed to his stump leg, and asked in a deep voice: "You are a disabled person, and the Lord of the Bohai Sea even sent you a job?" ”

"Fuck!"

The big man suddenly roared, and his eyes widened angrily: "Lao Tzu's leg was crippled by Liaodong dogs, Lao Tzu has been a Han slave in Goguryeo for 20 years, it was the lord of the country who led the troops to save me back, what happened to the lord of the country who sent me to live?" When did Lao Tzu do such an easy job in Goguryeo? Besides, if I don't work, why should I eat nothing? Lao Tzu is a person with a Bohai hukou, we are not refugees like you who have just come to Bohai...... I said old man, do you eat or not, I haven't seen people who talk so much about you......"

Wang Si took a deep breath, walked to a small stool with a big bowl, and when he was halfway there, he suddenly turned to look at the big man, who was about to stare at him, but Wang Si suddenly bent down and said with guilt: "If the old man can live again, he will definitely repay you for this leg." Little brother, you may not know that the old man's name is Wang Si, and he was arrested from the capital of Goguryeo, and the reason for the arrest is very simple, the old man secretly fornicated with Goguryeo! ”

The big man was stunned for a moment, and he was at a loss for what to do with the spoon in his hand.

Wang Si raised the big bowl full of hot porridge in his hand, touched the big fat meat with his fingers, and asked, "Now, do you still let the old man eat porridge?" ”

The people around him all looked at him in amazement.

The expression on the big man's face changed, there was a kind of complexity that cannot be described in words, a moment of fierceness, a moment of cruelty, a moment of hatred, a moment of sadness, after several breaths, the big man suddenly smacked the cauldron with a spoon, and said: "You go to the side of the street to eat, I am afraid that I can't help it when it is close, I want to beat you to death, but you are an old man." ”

"Alas!"

Wang Si sighed lonely, but he got the answer he wanted in his sigh.

Even if he did something treacherous, he was still forgiven by a Liaodong Han slave with a stump leg. The reason is very simple, just because he is an old man who is hungry and wants to eat porridge in the eyes of the man.

This answer made Wang Si feel an indescribable sense of shame.

He slowly left the stall with a big bowl, walking slowly on the street with a dull face, and suddenly heard a shout behind him, it was still the big man who gave porridge just now, the big man's tone was clearly a little hesitant, but in the end he gritted his teeth and said a kind advice, and scolded loudly: "You old man, don't wander around, the weather is a little cold in the second half of the night, you find a sheltered courtyard door to lie down, lest you freeze to death tomorrow and no one buries ......"

Wang Si's body shook, and his face was pale.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him, and it seemed that several strong people were catching up, Wang Si didn't look back, just smiled with a big bowl, and asked lightly, "Is the time coming?" The old man can go on the road. ”

I didn't know that there was silence for a long time, and it was a long time before I heard someone say coldly: "The lord of the country said that people should not be concerned about death, and while there is still a little time, Mr. Wang can go with us." ”

Wang Si turned around in a daze, looked at the few hundred horsemen pretending to be ordinary people behind him, and asked in surprise, "Where are you going?" Is it convenient to go outside the city to bury the body? ”

Several hundred horsemen smiled with obvious disdain, and one of them still said coldly: "Go to Chengxifang City, the time should be in time." ”

Chengxifang City?
