As soon as the sky dawned, the city gates slowly opened in the morning mist. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The small merchants and vendors who had been guarding outside the city gate rushed in with their ox carts and donkey carts, and disappeared into the streets and alleys of the city in an instant.

Qin Hao originally wanted to take them out of the city, but when he saw this scene, his heart moved, so he let them go out of the city first, while he stayed in the city with Tian Xiaoqian, Yang Zaixing, and Wu Hu, and followed those small merchants and vendors to the entrance of the vegetable market.

The economy of the Great Song Dynasty is developed, that is a horizontal comparison, in Qin Hao's eyes, even if the prosperous Bianjing City is as prosperous, it is not as good as a remote mountainous area in modern times.

Cattle as an important farming tool, in the past slaughtering cattle is illegal, from here it can be seen that cattle in the past was quite scarce, in Tian Hengshan, in Tian Hengshan also only Tian Uncle family has an ox cart, other families do not.

Yesterday's ox cart was very tattered, and the fact that it could be pulled to such a tattered point without being repaired only shows that the ox cart was commonly used, and that the family was not very wealthy.

As soon as the city gate opened, there were not ten ox carts entering the city, but also eight, looking at the crooked wheels and listening to the creaking sound, Qin Hao suddenly felt a familiar feeling.

Because yesterday's ox cart was no different from the one in front of him, the same old cow, the same tattered, the same ordinary, and the ox cart was basically full of vegetables, so Qin Hao followed them to the vegetable market.

Although the vegetable market entrance in the past is also the current farmers' market, although it is not a little well-planned like the modern farmers' market, people have been doing business here for many years, and slowly forming their own territory.

That is to say, everyone sets up their stalls in the agreed places, and those who grab positions are basically not seen here, and there are no rules, and these small traders and hawkers are unconsciously abiding by this unwritten rule.

Qin Hao didn't ask about each vegetable stall, and when those small merchants and vendors unloaded their goods and placed them neatly in front of their stalls, Qin Hao's gaze fell on an empty position.

Slowly walked over and said to the fish seller next to him: "Old man, I want to ask, did you have a stall next to you before?" ”

"Yes, he is Li Er from Niutou Village, but I don't know what happened to his family in the past two or three days, I didn't come over, this little brother, do you want to set up a stall here?"

When the old man said this, his eyes gradually became vigilant, "This little brother, I'm sorry, this stall belongs to Li Er, if you want to set up a stall, please go to the opposite corner, no one has set it up there." ”

Qin Hao saw that the old man regarded himself as an ordinary trader, and smiled disapprerovingly, "Thank you for the old man's guidance, I'll go over and take a look." ”

After finishing speaking, he pretended to come to the location pointed by the old man, this is a dead end, very few people come, Yang Zaixing looked at no one on the left and right, and said with a smile: "Brother Qin, are we going to go to that Niutou Village to have a look?" ”

Niutou Village is in the south of the city, about ten miles away from the city, although the road is a mud road, but it is very flat, unlike the mountain road in the south, there is no feeling of one step and three shakes when walking on it.

Qin Hao is not a military general, and his body is relatively thin, and the ten-mile journey does not seem to be far, but it takes him almost half an hour.

Niutou Village is located in a small mountain col, which seems a little remote, sparsely scattered with only a dozen or so families, living in the kind of dilapidated thatched huts, the whole village seems very deserted, and there are no active people.

Yang Zaixing was always particularly vigilant about such an environment, and immediately said to Wu Hu: "Huzi, you find a hidden place to hide Brother Qin, and I'll go into the village to take a look." ”

Yang Zaixing was holding a silver spear in his hand, and it was naturally extremely inconvenient to go out to investigate, and seeing Wu Hu holding a double hammer in his hand, he naturally handed the silver spear into Qin Hao's hands.

Yang Zaixing's silver spear also weighed dozens of catties, and it was quite difficult to lift it with Qin Hao's thin arms and legs, so he could only carry the silver spear on his shoulder, feeling a kind of pain.

Seeing this, Yang Zaixing smiled a little embarrassedly, "Brother Qin, I'm really embarrassed, this silver spear is the ancestral heirloom of the Yang family, I can't just throw it on the ground, please bear with me." ”

The significance of this silver spear to Yang Zaixing, Qin Hao knows it very well, the gun does not leave his body, it is Yang Zaixing's habit, if it were not for the special situation in front of him, it would be impossible for him to hand over the silver spear to himself.

Seeing that Qin Hao smiled and didn't speak, Yang Zaixing didn't say much, but broke off a dead branch, used the right to crutche, and then used yellow mud to make himself gray, and then slowly walked towards the village with the dry branch.

As soon as he arrived at the pass at the head of the village, he saw two people lying behind the ridge, squeezing his eyebrows at him, slowly walked over, followed him down, and asked in a low voice: "Sandao, Xiaowa, have you also touched here?" What is the situation in the village? ”

"There is something wrong with the situation in the village, I have been observing Xiaowa for a long time, I rarely see people moving, and I don't see tobacco drinking in the early morning, this village looks like an abandoned village." Liu Sandao replied in a low voice.

Yang Zaixing also said in a low voice: "This village is called Niutou Village, I visited the vegetable market with Brother Qin just now, and there were still people doing business at the entrance of the vegetable market two days ago, it will not be a deserted village." ”

Quick Sword Xiaowa pondered slightly: "It seems that we have found the right place, although we have not seen the people in the village move, we can deeply feel the murderous aura behind this silence, so there must be someone in this village." ”

"That's right, my feeling is the same as Xiaowa, but now in broad daylight, Xiaowa and I don't dare to act easily, so we have to lie here and wait until the evening to touch it and take a look." Liu Sandao agreed with Xiaowa's speculation.

Yang Zaixing nodded, "We can find the same place from different directions, then it means that there is a problem with this place, let's do it, Xiaowa, this place is watched by me and Sandao, you go and find Zhang Yi and them, and watch the exit of this village." ”

"Sandao and I originally had this plan, but we were afraid that it would be dangerous for us to stay here alone, so we didn't move for a long time, but now that Brother Yang is here, it's better."

After saying this, the quick sword Xiaowa quietly withdrew from the ridge, and after greeting Qin Hao, he went to find Zhang Yi and them.

Wu Hu looked at his back and asked, "Brother, since those Fusang people are in this village, then let's kill them, my double hammer and Brother Yang's silver spear, I believe it will be no problem to deal with those Fusang people." ”

Qin Hao shook his head and said: "Although your twin hammers are powerful, they are not flexible enough, killing enemies on the battlefield, soldier to soldier, general to general is okay, but to deal with these elusive ninjas, it is still Zhang Yi and them." ”

Zhang Yi and they were born in the rivers and lakes, and their martial arts are most suitable for this kind of solo fighting, or small-scale group fighting, especially in dealing with hidden weapons, their experience is much more sophisticated than Wu Hu.
