Chapter Twenty-Four: Into the City

We stayed in the village for three days. The first is to take a break, and the second is to plan what we will do next.

I know that this place is called Zhaojiapo, and I also know the names of those village girls, the one in Yuandundun is called Xiaojuan, and there is a girl with a seven-point appearance named Xiaodrunk, Weiwei, who is thin and malnourished with yellow muscles, and there is also a girl named Meizi. Plus twin sisters Da Lanzi and Xiao Lanzi.

Most of these village girls have wheat-colored skin, or ruddy complexions, which are called healthy complexions when they rest in the fields from sunrise to sunset.

Compared with the appearance of these village girls, if you only look at the face, Ye Xianxian is a little more beautiful than them.

They are all honest and timid as mice. Full of fear of strangers.

They were astonished, as astonished as little animals. This is all due to the fact that they grew up in the countryside in close isolation.

But after getting acquainted with them, their lively and cheerful side was revealed.

Speaking of these twin sisters, Da Lanzi, Xiao Lanzi. And a joke.

When it comes to monkeys, it's always full of swearing. Deflated calf, king chop egg, kill you, and the like came out of his mouth endlessly.

But there was a dog basket that he never said since.

The reason is that one day I was bored and made fun of the monkey, and I couldn't do it, and then I started scolding.

Scolding me for being a dog basket. Then Da Lanzi and Xiao Lanzi were reluctant, and they stubbornly thought that the monkey was scolding them for being a dog.

The monkey was speechless and never said the word dog basket again.

We have food, although it is said to be coarse tea and light rice, we have a temporary shelter.

But we have no soldiers and no pay, and it is a fool's dream to think about things.

So we discussed it for a long time and came to the conclusion. Go to Eagle City and recruit troops.

We had to have money to recruit troops, so we started pooling money again. The entire Zhaojiapo was gathered, and there were only a few dozen dollars to make five baht coins.

That's not enough to buy a chicken, it's a poor rural area with heavy taxes. After years of war, ordinary people have long been hungry.

The old fox is a little stubborn, and there is always too much gap between the ideal and the reality.

"That's not enough for a meal." I hit the crowd.

"What to do, to go?" The monkey is talking about Eagle City.

"Go," the old fox slapped the table, "here we can only eat and wait for death." Go to Eagle City and find a way to get money first. ”

So we planned to leave Zhaojiapo, and Xiaojuan and the others shouted that they had to go with us.

We are embarrassed, we are going to war. These women are still country girls who have never seen the world, and it is a burden to take them.

"Xiaojuan, you can't come with us. We're going to go to war and defeat the bad guys. The old fox persuaded bitterly.

"We don't care, we will fight. Don't leave us, please. Xiaojuan wiped away her tears, grabbed the corner of the old fox's clothes and wiped her nose. They are also wrenched in the pain of losing their families.

These countrymen are unpretentious and don't know what to be reserved or gentle. Their character is to do whatever they want.

The old fox looked at the corner of his clothes, this thing is somewhat clean.

Even if I am a sloppy person, I am afraid that I can't stand it when someone else wipes my nose with the corner of my clothes.

Xiaojuan didn't think so, she didn't think there was anything wrong. She began to cry again, and then went to grab the corner of the old fox's clothes: "You are all gone, what should you do if you leave us here, woo woo woo ......"

This time the old fox learned to be obedient, and he quickly dodged it.

Xiaojuan didn't catch it, so she leaned on me. Frightened, I immediately ducked: "Okay, okay, I said old fellow." Just take them with us, and it's a big deal that we can find a place for them to live after we settle down in Eagle City. ”

"yes, they'll starve to death if you leave them here." Ye Xianxian also persuaded.

I found that Ye Xianxian and the old fox were not too close. Although they both care about each other, they don't have that kind of intimacy between father and daughter.

Vivi and the others also cried, they all wanted to go with us.

What can they do about these little girls whose families are ruined? They had no choice but to follow us.

Because we are lifesavers, good people in their eyes.

At last the old fox relented, and promised the girls to follow us into the city.

Eagle City, which is now Pingdingshan City. We, the countrymen in coarse linen clothes, are destined to be looked down upon when we go to the city.

As soon as we arrived at the city gates, we were stopped.

"Stop, what are you doing?" A city gate guard has a rogue look, bullying the weak and fearing the hard is a shameful face they have cultivated in their careers.

Xiaojuan and the others were so frightened that they hid behind us, and the other soldiers laughed, it seems that they usually bully these countrymen.

"Into town!" The cold-faced beast stood in front of the guard, his tone indifferent.

The guard was startled and drew half of his saber as a sign of intimidation: "You, what are you?" The tone is obvious.

"Haha, sir. We went into the city to do business, and that trouble was accommodating. Mao walked over with a grin, resolving the embarrassment.

The guards are not stupid, and they can see that the cold-faced beast is not easy to mess with. So he immediately shifted his goal: "Do business? What kind of business are you doing with your bare hands? ”

There must always be business to do business, and this society has not yet developed to trade. Their so-called business is to pay with one hand and deliver with the other.

"That, haha. We, countrymen, admire the prosperity of Eagle City. I want to go into the city to see, and by the way, buy some daily necessities for daily life. Mao laughed and shook the copper plate in his pocket.

The guards looked him up and down, and looked at the copper plate around his waist, which was all our belongings, not enough to buy a chicken, and the guards muttered: "Hillbilly, this Eagle City says that you can enter it if you enter."

The meaning is obvious, if you are smart, give the guards some favor.

But we only have these dozens of copper plates, we can buy a chicken, if we give it all to him, we will be penniless, if we give it less, it will be called Huazi, and if we don't do it, we will be expelled, or we will be put into the county prison as a suspicious person.

Guards, bullying the weak and fearing the hard. Also check for suspicious persons. The income was very low, so they had to start the idea of people entering and leaving the city.

It's also a fat shortage. However, there are risks. If you stop a high-ranking official or nobleman who doesn't know his identity, or a dignitary from the capital, and ask for money and goods, it is not impossible to punish him with a cane at least and behead him at worst.

The old fox swaggered over, and the shelf didn't know and thought it was Cao Cao coming.

The guards saw that although the old fox was dressed in a coarse linen shirt, his graceful and luxurious bearing was extraordinary. I was stunned for a moment.

"You, who are you? From, from where? "The guards were a little unsure.

"Capital Xuchang!" The old fox said coldly.

The guard was taken aback, but the guy in a coarse linen shirt, no matter how extraordinary his bearing, was a poor ghost.

So this time it was not good, and the guards were a little skeptical: "Capital? Who are you? ”

"My family's name, is it just what you asked?" The monkey stood up and clasped his hands contemptuously.

The old fox continued to pretend: "Well, this Eagle City County Taishou is well managed. You see this street is bustling, people come and go, it's very lively, haha......"

"Xiao Tu," the old fox looked back at me.

It wasn't until I realized he was calling me.

"Your uncle!" I cursed quietly.

"Xiao Tu, I'll play the emperor when I turn back. This Eagle City County is too conservative and has made outstanding achievements and should be commended. Isn't it, Xiao Tu, Xiao Tu? ”

The old fox deliberately got angry with me, and I had to hate: "Yes, what you always said is right."

The guard is not a fool, and the other walked over and leaned into the guard's ear: "Look at this posture, it's not the origin of a big man, don't be able to get it in oil and water, but get into trouble." Let them go. ”

The guard immediately changed to a minion smile: "It turns out that it is from the capital, please."

The old fox swaggered into the city, and the guards were doubly respectful.

The dog's strength is perfectly reflected in the monkey at this moment.

When the monkey walked up to the guard, he let out a disdainful "Humph!" from his nose. With a sigh, he followed the example of the old fox, swaggered with his hands behind his back.

The guard immediately lowered his head and nodded with a smile on his face.

Xiaojuan and the others were like meeting a weasel's hen, desperately leaning towards us, trembling and following behind.
