Wu Zhigu couldn't untie Jin Lian's hands and feet, so he quickly stood up and carried her into the temple, and lightly placed her under the offering table.

Although they were stopped, the obscene words and laughter of these people were still continuous, coming back through the door panel.

"Brother Wu, it's over, I'm hurting you, I forgot, I gave you that snake in the bag!" Suddenly, Li Zhong's face changed, and he pointed to Wu Zhi's waist and jumped to his feet.

As soon as Wu Zhiyi lowered his head, his face became hotter and hotter, and he couldn't help but burst into a rough voice: "Fuck your sister!" Li Zhong, this is a snake, this is clearly my capital! ”

"Isn't your money very big, why did you say that you were a three-inch Dinggu bark in front of everyone before?" Li Zhong laughed.

It turns out that this guy is also deliberately joking.

"I'm talking about when you don't show your hideous face, if you come to the time of the officer, you must be so thick, you old call Hanako, while playing with snakes!"

"Haha! It turns out that Brother Wu just pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, and he admired it, now that you have settled down, I won't bother you, brother farewell! ”

"Li Zhong, where do you live?"

"Fukudain in the west of the city!"

"Fukuda-in? What is that place? ”

"Brother, you don't even know about Futian Temple? It was a place built by the Celestial Empire to settle the old, young, poor and sick, and each person was usually given one liter of rice and ten wen a day, and when it was cold and bitter in autumn and winter, five more wen would be added as the purchase of charcoal for heating......"

"Is there such a place?"

"Nature." Li Zhong confirmed.

Wu Zhizheng was cold and hungry, looked back at Pan Jinlian under the incense case, it is estimated that she is similar to herself, presumably not only frightened but also collapsed, she is "new to the city", and she doesn't want to get some food to wear and a change of clothes, I am afraid that she will starve this little lady to death in vain......

Not only that, but I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this day's crossing night......

"Jin Lian, you wait for me here, I'll go out with Brother Li Zhong and find you something to eat, and I'll go back when I go...... Don't get me wrong, if I don't untie you, I'm not afraid that you will escape, but because I'm afraid that you won't be able to open it and do stupid things...... Listen, wait for me to come back! ”

Wu Zhi's tone was as gentle as possible.

But Jin Lian didn't even look at Wu Zhi.

Although Wu Zhi was a little uneasy in his heart, he had no choice but to get up and join Li Zhong, take the latch, open the door, squeeze through the crowd that had not yet dispersed and Li Zhong strode towards Futian Courtyard in the west of the city.

Those people originally wanted to watch the excitement for a while and listen to some movements, but at this moment, they saw that one of the protagonists of the singing opera had already left, and they slowly dispersed.

On the road.

"Li Zhong, stop calling me brother, you are obviously older than me......"

"Brother Wu, I call you this respectful of you, it has nothing to do with age, it means that you have the ability, you see, just now the famous children of the three courtyards of the division were present, but only you married this flowery little lady......"

"Really?"

Under Li Zhong's explanation, Wu Zhi understood that the men of the Celestial Empire at this time were accustomed to calling people with higher status or ability than themselves as elder brothers, which was a kind of customary rule under social customs.

It's like calling people handsome guys when you see them in modern times.

About half an hour later, the Futian Courtyard in the west of the city was close in front of him. I saw the high-walled courtyard and the glazed tile house, which was very solemn and brilliant.

It is worthy of being a government institution, one is full of grandeur and majesty, and the other is also remarkable for the prosperity of the Celestial Empire.

At this time, it was almost noon, and the Futian Courtyard was crowded, but it was orderly.

"Mr. Chu......"

Under the leadership of Li Zhong, the two went to see an old gentleman, with Li Zhong's unsparing guarantee, coupled with Wu Zhi's wrapped rag bag clothes and his embarrassed appearance at the moment, it is the best evidence and persuasion, after Mr. Chu recorded the roster, he issued money and food subsidies to Wu Zhi.

"Brother Wu, where are you from?" Li Zhong asked.

"Chinese......," Wu Zhi said after a moment's thought.

"Brother Wu is really joking, of course the descendants of Yan Huang are all Chinese, is it still floating from overseas? Forget it, you don't want to say that I won't ask, anyway, it's the same end of the world, you are a fool, although you are not without a long life, but you are really penniless, and now you have just married, there are still a lot of places that need to be settled, I see these brothers, how old are I when you are old, since you help people to the end, you can accept the money and food I gave out today, and count it as a gift from me with you......"

“……”

While talking, the two had already walked to the bunk where Li Zhong slept at night. It turned out that the main duty of this Chengxi Futian Courtyard was to accept the old, weak, sick and disabled, and there were rows of rooms for them to use. And those homeless people who are in the prime of life, although they also have relief, they are only allowed to make bunks in the outer hall, which is a different system of their own.

"Brother Wu, let's put down our things first, you come with me!"

Li Zhong took the rice grain from Wu Zhi's hand and put it in the tattered mattress that belonged to him on the ground, the place occupied by the mattress was even if it belonged to him as an acre and three points of land, in fact, it was only the size of a palm, and he could barely stretch his legs when he slept, but it was a little difficult to roll left and right, because it would roll on someone else's body......

However, although the space is small, it is also a personal territory, as long as it is not allowed by the owner, others will not occupy and move around.

Li Zhong took out a snake bag from the "one acre and three points of land", a stick with two crosses in front, a hoe, and two strips of red cloth, and then pulled Wu Zhi and walked outside.

"What for?" Wu Zhi asked.

"Didn't you let me play with snakes, you were really right, I'll take you to catch snakes now!" Li Zhong smiled, and at the same time squatted down and tied two strips of red cloth to the right hands of the two of them.

"Ahh

"Hey, Brother Wu, what are you doing? Don't be afraid, in fact, snakes are not terrible at all, there are many dogs x men and women who are really much more poisonous and terrifying than snakes! ”

On the way, Li Zhong bought two big steamed buns at a broken cost and handed one to Wu Zhi. That's lunch.

An hour later, the two came to the inaccessible West Gate.

On the left is a cemetery, and on the right is a vast mountain field. There is a small river two or three hundred meters ahead, which, according to Li Zhong, is the lower reaches of the Qing River. The reason why this place was chosen is that the snake cave is generally not too far from the water source.

"In fact, catching snakes is very simple, and it is not as terrible as you think, many snakes are non-toxic, but they can also be used for dietary therapy or medicine, and the effects are quite many, dispelling wind and invigorating blood, reducing inflammation and detoxification, tonifying the kidney and strengthening yang, warming the fetus, beauty and health care, frostbite and scalding...... Whether it's snake meat, snake blood, snake skin, snake bones, snake oil, or snake gall bladder, it's all good things, those big families are cute, usually they see snakes as if they have seen ghosts, and after they are put into medicine, they have a completely different attitude......"
