After saying goodbye to Mrs. Yin, Wei Shuo stood on the street and was stunned, the beautiful, intelligent and kind Mrs. Yin left a deep impression on him, especially after thinking of what happened to Mrs. Yin in history, he almost couldn't help but want to force the other party to stay in Gaochang.

"Forget it, but when we meet in Pingshui, how can people listen to your advice?! Let's wait for the opportunity to repay Mrs. Yin's life-saving grace in the future! ”
Leaving all the complicated thoughts behind, Wei Shuo's mind was on how to survive in ancient times, and the current priority was to get a sum of money first.
Originally, there were many things in his travel bag that could be sold, but unfortunately most of the supplies were lost when he got lost, and now he has only a military kettle left except for a mobile phone with no signal at all and a solar power bank.
Wei Shuo, who did not give up, kept rummaging through the upper and lower pockets with two hands, hoping that there was anything left.
"Ahh Sure enough, it is the endless road to heaven! ”
Wei Shuo couldn't help but dance excitedly holding the disposable lighter he took out of his trouser pocket, don't look at this thing is not worth a lot of money in modern times, but it is definitely a priceless treasure in ancient times. With it, Wei Shuo doesn't have to sleep on the streets tonight, and even the maids and servants can solve it at one time.
However, there is a good saying: 'There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck!' ’
Wei Shuo patronized and was happy, but he didn't notice that someone next to him was eyeing him, and a pair of eyes were greedy like hungry wolves, staring at the lighter in his hand that was constantly burning and extinguishing the fire......
Feeling that his life in the future has settled, Wei Shuo suddenly relaxed, feeling that everything around him is so beautiful, even the scorching sun in early summer is not as dazzling as before, and Gaochang City is still standing tall under the scorching sun, exuding charming brilliance. It is not only the majestic city walls that make people intoxicated, but also the intoxicating civilization.
The wide street is full of people, the pavilions on both sides are singing and dancing, the juggling is lively, the desserts and snacks are dazzling, and the happy crowd is really lively.
In the face of the bustling street market, Wei Shuo is really overwhelmed, like in a dream, even if he is squeezed by pedestrians, he is not aware of it.
"Ouch!" Suddenly, an ancient man fell to the ground while passing by Wei Shuo.
Seeing the people who fell because of the crowding, Wei Shuo hurriedly went up to help, and said with concern: "Are you okay?" ”
The ancients who were helped up were also neat, patted the dust on their bodies and said, "It's okay......"
But before Wei Shuo could reply, the man suddenly pointed to the porcelain fragments on the ground, and he didn't care about being polite to Wei Shuo, so he hurriedly squatted down and held the ceramic fragments and cried, crying and howling: "Bitter mother......"
This sudden situation suddenly shocked Wei Shuo and was at a loss, and at the same time, as soon as the shouting started, the people around him who loved gossip and entertainment quickly came up and talked about it.
In the face of the congested crowd, a young man who came on a horse was unable to move an inch, he looked at the black crowd in front of him and frowned slightly, and asked the entourage beside him, "Why is there a blockage ahead?" ”
"Hui Langjun, there was a quarrel in front of you, so the street was blocked."
"Order someone to blast through the crowd, I want to get out of here as soon as possible."
"No!" As soon as the young man gave the order, seven or eight slaves pounced on the crowd like a fierce spirit, and immediately provoked a burst of chickens and dogs, and the people who recognized the young man's identity began to retreat to the side of the road.
Man is a strange animal, if it is to watch the excitement, everyone is desperately squeezing inside. However, once some people retreat, it will lead a large number of people to retreat, although many people do not know why they want to retreat, so they will "bang" and make way for a way.
"What's wrong?" A group of people who follow the crowd are starting to pay attention to the question of why they should dodge.
"What's wrong? Didn't you see Yang Xiaolangjun coming? ”
"People are the sons of Taishou, you don't want to die, dare to stand in the way of others?"
"Yang Taishou's only son, Yang Ying?"
"Isn't that him? In Gaochang, if you offend Yang Xiaolangjun, can you still have a good one? ”
Just when the outside world was disturbing, Wei Shuo had recovered from the initial shock at this time, and at the same time figured out the cause and effect of the matter, it was nothing more than a few scoundrels who took a fancy to the lighter in his hand and deliberately set up a game for him to set.
Wei Shuo looked at the person lying on the ground with some embarrassment, not that he was reluctant to hold the lighter in his hand, but that this was the guarantee of his future life, so he naturally refused to easily cheapen a few scoundrels.
Fortunately, when Wei Shuo was helpless and thinking about a way out, out of the corner of his eye, he found that the crowd had dispersed in all directions, and at the same time, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and he saw a young man in gorgeous clothes coming to him.
Wei Shuo's eyes turned to the young man and said: "This brother is invited, he has just arrived in the next year, and he lost his money because of the bandits before, and he didn't expect to encounter the current predicament again." Seeing that Brother Taiqi Qi Qi Qi Qi Yu Xuan Angding is a child of the family, there is an ancestral heirloom in his hands, and he is willing to resell it to Brother Tai to solve the immediate dilemma. ”
After listening to Wei Shuo's words, the faces of the scoundrels lying on the ground all changed greatly, and their eyes showed fierce light and they wanted to eat Wei Shuo in one bite, but with Yang Ying present, everyone did not dare to act rashly.
Originally, Yang Ying didn't want to deal with Wei Shuo, in his opinion, although the other party was dressed in strange clothes, but as a child of a family, he was in Gaochang, an important city linking the Western Regions and Hexi, what kind of rare and exotic objects had he not seen?
However, when Wei Shuo took out the lighter, and the flame ignited after a click, Yang Ying's eyes were immediately attracted, he had never seen such a magical thing when he was so big.
"Wow!" The people around the crowd let out an equally exclamation, and they were equally shocked by the wonder of lighters.
Yang Ying took the lighter in his hand and took a closer look, and found that he didn't know what it was made of, he gently plucked the wheel with his thumb and it would make a clattering sound, and at the same time, there were sparks flashing out around him, and the most amazing thing was that there was some 'water' in the middle.
"What is this?"
"Back to Xiaolangjun, this thing was made in the extreme west, and it was specially used for fire. The boy returned to the Central Plains from the western country, encountered bandits on the way, and all his belongings were lost, only this one survived because of his small size. ”
Originally, the kid wanted to exchange this thing for some money, so that he could live in Gaochang with this, but he was coveted by Xiao Xiao under his guilt. I saw that Xiao Langjun was a child of a family, and he would not behave despicably like others, so I had the intention of reselling this thing to Your Excellency. ”
After listening to Wei Shuo's words, the corners of Yang Ying's mouth showed a hint of a smile, and as soon as she waved her hand, she saw several slaves pounce on her like wolves, regardless of the begs for mercy of several scoundrels, grabbed her arm and dragged her aside and beat them up.
Seeing this situation, Wei Shuo's heart suddenly froze, and he couldn't help but secretly wake up to himself again, this is not a modern society ruled by law, no one told you about human rights in ancient times, unless you can sit in a high position in the future, otherwise you will be an ant in the eyes of the powerful after all.
The scoundrel's screams became louder and louder, and Wei Shuo arched his hand towards Yang Ying to show his gratitude, and then turned around and planned to leave. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Yang Ying.
"I don't know what else is going on with Xiao Langjun?"
"Didn't you resell this thing to Zaixia, don't you want the money?" Yang Ying stared at Wei Shuo with some amusement and asked.
Seeing the other party's means of punishing scoundrels, Wei Shuo dared to ask for any money, so he smiled bitterly: "Xiao Langjun said that it was just a joke. This lighter should be regarded as a reward for Xiao Langjun to relieve the siege for him, and as for the money, he would never dare to accept it. ”
"Oh? How can you be so generous? Just now, Lang Jun didn't say that he would settle in Gaochang with the money obtained from the sale of this thing, if he didn't accept the money, how should he gain a foothold? ”
"Money is something outside the body, and it can be earned again when it is gone. Gaochang City communicates east, west, north and south, and there are many businessmen who come and go in the city, and they are proficient in arithmetic, so it is not difficult to find a job to support themselves. ”
"You're proficient in arithmetic?" Yang Ying was surprised, he didn't expect that this Han family Miao descendant from outside the region was still a talent.
Although the ancients did not attach importance to arithmetic, many industries are indispensable to people who understand arithmetic, take Yang Ying's father Yang Han in charge of the Taishou Mansion, for example, is now recruiting assistants who understand arithmetic.
"Anyway, I can't take your treasures for nothing, so let's do it, since Brother Tai is unwilling to accept money, I can introduce you to Taishou Mansion to do things, I don't know if you are willing?"
