Chapter V: Impropriety
When you come out to buy grain, you don't bring farming tools for digging the soil. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoFortunately, the ground is not very hard, and it can be dug up with the broken tiles that fell from the City God Temple.
As soon as he dug a small soil pit, Chen Yuansheng stopped, "Don't dig it." ”
“?”
Wang Er didn't speak, he looked at Chen Yuansheng and expressed his question with his eyes.
Chen Yuansheng put down the tiles and pointed to the position in front of him, in the middle of the red sand, mixed with a small section of white bones, "There are people down there, bury them here." ”
"Oh." Wang Er nodded.
As the sand buryed, the crows hovering in the sky gradually flew away.
Chen Yuansheng looked at the slightly bulging dirt bag and felt very depressed.
Whether it is a Northern Song Dynasty or a modern person, there are not too many people who can understand Chen Yuansheng's mood at the moment.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, although it was a peaceful time, deaths caused by various reasons were commonplace, and those who died of illness, starvation, and were killed, and so on.
In such an environment, the people of the Northern Song Dynasty have long been accustomed to the passing of people around them.
In modern times, where life is affluent and medical care is developed, the frequency of death is too low for individuals. Even, many people have no concept of death.
A modern person, suddenly back to the past, even if it is the peaceful and prosperous era described in the history books. Perhaps, in his opinion, it is hell on earth.
At least, that's the case for Chen Yuansheng.
Looking at the sky, the sun was hanging high, and although it was a little hot, I couldn't rest any longer.
Put the person in front of the car and move on.
The road gradually flattened, and a small city appeared in view. There are several families scattered outside the castle, and the city gate is in and out, which seems to be quite lively.
"Owner, we're here." Wang Er pointed to the castle and shouted, and the enthusiasm that seemed to be extinguished was ignited again.
"Don't call the owner of the village." Chen Yuansheng said.
"Okay owner." Wang Er replied.
"Stop talking."
"Oh." Wang Er closed his mouth aggrievedly.
"Uncle Li, where to put these wooden guns, it doesn't seem good to bring them in." Chen Yuansheng looked at the city gate in the distance, although the soldiers guarding the gate were lazy, but who knew how they would react when they saw the wooden spear.
Lee, who was old and more experienced, looked around, found an inconspicuous place, and stuck three wooden guns on the ground.
Chen Yuansheng confirmed again that there was nothing taboo in the car, so he mustered up the strength to pull back and move forward.
"Owner, I'll come." Li Bo untied the hemp rope tied to Chen Yuansheng and said.
"Okay." Chen Yuansheng patted his head, he was almost tired and forgot that he had specially prepared a scholar's clothes today, just to avoid trouble.
I'm going to go to the pawnshop in the city to buy gold. It is impossible and does not have the physical strength to pull the wooden cart to run, and besides, pulling the wooden cart is easy to cause unnecessary trouble.
Although I don't know if the "Prodigy Poem" of "everything is inferior, only reading is high", "Chao is Tian Shelang, and twilight ascends to Tianzi Hall" has been made. But the Song Dynasty's respect for scholars is deep-rooted, otherwise Xiao Er, who pours tea, would not be called Dr. Tea.
After a while, Chen Yuansheng finished changing his clothes, and the image of a down-and-out scholar appeared in front of Li Bo and Wang Er.
"Zhai ......" Wang Er stretched out his thumb and was just about to praise it, but he was stared at by Chen Yuansheng and swallowed back.
"Uncle Li, I'm still like a scholar, right?" Chen Yuansheng asked Li Bo.
"It's like it." Li Bo nodded, and when he saw his feet from his head, he suddenly hesitated, "But, these straw sandals ......"
"Not like a scholar?" Chen Yuansheng asked.
Lieber nodded again.
Chen Yuansheng retracted his feet, his wide clothes covering most of the straw sandals, revealing only a small edge, "Uncle Li, what do you see now?" It's not like a down-and-out scholar. In this way, when I am with you and Wang Er, it will not arouse suspicion. ”
"Zhai ...... Childe was right. Li Bo felt that what Chen Yuansheng said was very reasonable, but it was still difficult to change the name, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he almost missed his mouth.
Chen Yuansheng walked in front of the car with his head held high.
"Childe ......" Li Bo looked at Chen Yuansheng's back and shouted hesitantly.
"What's wrong?" Chen Yuansheng turned around and asked.
"Otherwise, let's stop buying grain, you might as well keep the money for the imperial examination." Li Bo said, and Wang Er, who was pushing the cart behind him, nodded in agreement.
Chen Yuansheng shook his head, turned around and continued to walk forward. Even if the book has Yan Ruyu and the book has a golden house, far water can't quench the thirst.
When he succeeds in the imperial examination, how many people can still live. He is not stunned, and he will not think that the imperial examination is the only way out.
Of course, he did not deny that in this era, the imperial examination was the easiest way to change one's fate. He didn't want the imperial examination, not because he was against it, but because he didn't have the conditions for the imperial examination, which was completely different from the uselessness of studying.
Reading is useful.
In the past two days, Chen Yuansheng was still thinking about how good it would be if he had watched "Heavenly Creation".
entered the city gate without any danger, the soldiers guarding the gate were already lazy, and when they saw Chen Yuansheng dressed as a scholar, they didn't bother to check.
After entering the city, Chen Yuansheng said to Li Bo, "Li Bo, you are watching the car here. Wang Er and I went to the pawnshop to see how much money we could exchange for gold. ”
"Don't worry, Childe, I'll just wait here and won't go back." Li Bo found a shady place to park the car against the wall, leaned against the car and said.
Farewell Li Bo, Chen Yuansheng took Wang Er around the city, Wang Er looked at the baked cakes sold along the street, and his saliva almost flowed all over the ground.
One baked cake costs two pennies, Chen Yuansheng thought to himself, after exchanging gold for a while, he would buy three baked cakes, one for each person to pad his stomach, saving the strength to pull food back.
There was no name written on the gate of the small city, and Chen Yuansheng knew that it was called Xinyang from the people passing by.
There are three main streets in Xinyang City, the north and south are slightly shorter, the east and west runs through the small city, this side is the east city gate, and the end of the road is the west city gate.
The first pawnshop was next to the East City Gate, but it was only about 30 steps away.
Chen Yuansheng and Wang Er plunged into this pawnshop.
The pawnshop house is dark, and the counter is very high, estimated to be 1.7 meters.
Chen Yuansheng needed to look up to see the guy standing at the counter.
"When what?" The guy leaned against the wall, looking down, and his voice was lazy, giving people a feeling of being slighted. Think about it, there is no difficulty in ordinary people, who will come to the pawnshop.
"I'm going to be gold." Chen Yuansheng said, he twisted out a golden bean, stood on tiptoe and handed it to the pawnshop guy.
The pawnshop guy was a little more energetic, put the gold on the small brass scale and said, "One penny and two cents, live or die?" Live as 800 texts, and die as consistent. ”
Chen Yuansheng took back the gold and said, "No." ”
