Chapter 2 A Kind Boy

The streets of Yongcheng County are bustling with vendors selling groceries, tea, clothes, pollen, and most of the shops display their best goods to catch the eye of passers-by. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The streets are full of people.

The men walked calmly and greeted those they knew warmly.

The women's steps were brisk, and from time to time there was a burst of laughter like silver bells.

There are many TV series about the Tang Dynasty in later generations, in addition to the plot of tearing, most of the women in the play are gorgeously dressed, with open breasts and rough breasts, which makes people suspect that the crew used the screenwriter's manuscript fee to hire the tailor, and the tailor used all his brains to squeeze his chest.

An He had the psychology of verification, and glanced at the breasts of the women passing by him, not like in the TV series, most women have narrow breasts and short sleeves, no long skirts, let alone breasts, and the shoulder bones are tightly wrapped in the skirt.

The most exposed is a rich lady wearing a silk skirt, with a step on her head, a delicate bamboo basket, and a girl ring behind her, the neckline of the skirt is a little low, and a touch of clotted fat is slightly exposed on the chest, and it is impossible to talk about showing her breasts at all.

Even so, when the woman saw An He glancing at her chest, she hurriedly lifted the mattress collar and shrunk her neck, hurting the Buddha to turn herself into a snail.

The girl in the back stood up to protect her master without hesitation, her apricot eyes were wide open, her jade face was threatening, and she glanced at An He fiercely.

Looking at Yahuan, who was as fierce as a little tiger, An He's heart trembled, and he hurriedly fled.

I thought: I just glanced at it, as for the eyeballs that are about to be gone?

The poems I read in college, such as "the chest is like snow and the face is like a flower", "the white snow occupies the chest for a long time", and "the pink chest is half hidden and the snow is clear", etc., are not confirmed in the slightest on the streets of Yongcheng County in the Tang Dynasty.

An He couldn't help but wonder if the poets of the Tang Dynasty were all paranoid.

In fact, An He didn't know that in the Tang Dynasty, only aristocratic women could wear open corsets, concubines and princesses were allowed to show their breasts, and song and dance prostitutes could also be half-naked to please people, and women from ordinary people's families were not allowed to be half-breasted.

"Cookcakes, freshly out of the pan!"

The shouting of the owner of the cake shop shattered An He's thoughts, and An He struggled to recall the familiar shout, and remembered for a long time:

Isn't this something that Comrade Wu Dalang once sold!

Look at the master who sells cooking cakes, Jing is somewhat similar to Wu Dalang, with stubby limbs, a lock of rat whiskers, a pair of small eyes, revealing the shrewdness of a businessman, and a three-inch figure, only by tiptoeing can he get to the top of which basket of steaming drinking cakes.

An He wanted to ask him if his surname was Wu, Wu Dalang's Wu, maybe he was really Wu Dalang's ancestor in the Tang Dynasty.

A cage of cooking cakes was picked up by him into the bamboo pan on the board, which cooking cake is not like the shape of the cooking cake sold by Wu Dalang in the TV series, neither like steamed bread, no steamed bread, nor like a baked cake, there is no sesame on it, it is just a steamed dough spread out.

Anhe smelled the aroma of the cooking cakes, and his stomach "gurgled", feeling hungry, not hungry, but very hungry.

The aroma of the cookcake spread from his nose to his stomach, and An He couldn't wait to stretch out a big hand from his stomach and reach directly to the cookcake shop.

If it weren't for the boy taking him in, would he be so hungry that he would be like a beggar in the TV series to rob other people's cooking cakes, An He suddenly had a ridiculous thought in his mind.

The thought flashed, then annihilated.

Don't steal, don't gamble, don't take drugs, don't ****, this is the basic principle of Anhe.

The two walked to the door of the largest restaurant on the street, the Yuelaixiang Hotel.

The boy placed two loads of firewood next to one of the stone lions at the door.

The shopkeeper Lin of the hotel happened to walk out, and the extremely round body of the shopkeeper Lin walked very lightly, like a leather ball, trembling and bounced to the young man's side, and a big cake face smiled like a blessing from heaven.

Seeing that the boy came to sell firewood, he gave the boy ten cents, so he asked the guy in the store to carry the firewood into the firewood room in the backyard. He smiled like a chrysanthemum and told the young man to send more pheasants next time, because the five pheasants that the young man sent last time had already been on the guests' tables.

The boy bought some coarse grain and salt with the money he had received in exchange for firewood, and then led Anhe to the back street, and after a short walk, he came to a courtyard surrounded by wooden stakes with the thick mouth of a bowl.

The courtyard was small and square, with two adobe houses, as if they had grown straight out of the dirt, the roofs were covered with thatched grass welded with mud, and the window lattices were in tatters, and a gust of wind blew, and the rotten stickers crackled.

Two hens will walk around in the yard and print plum blossoms in one place.

A huge yellow dog crouched under the window lattice, spitting out a scarlet tongue.

Seeing that the master was followed by a stranger, the dog straightened up, the size of a calf, and barked at Ann and Wang.

An He clearly felt that this was not a welcome, but a demonstration.

The boy stroked its head before he stopped yelling, circled the boy's legs several times, and sniffed his legs and arms affectionately with his tongue.

A board car was placed in a corner of the yard, very dilapidated, with two wooden planks rotten on the body, and large and small gaps in the wooden wheels.

Looking at the entire courtyard, the most valuable thing is probably this old wooden car.

The young man opened the door with the key hanging from his waist, and warmly beckoned An He into the house, which was very empty, and there was no mountain between the two mud houses.

A kang, a stove, and a small wooden table are placed on the kang, and a large vat containing water and a pile of firewood are placed next to the stove.

On the south wall hung two machetes and a pair of self-made bows and arrows.

Look around, that's all.

The boy Bang Anhe took off the bag on his shoulder and put it on the bed on the east wall.

The young man seemed to see that An He was hungry and tired, so he hurriedly cooked.

The boy added a few spoonfuls of water to the pot, and when the water boiled, he put some wild vegetables that Anhe could not name in it, and carefully took out a few grains of salt from the salt bag and put them in the pot.

Then mix the coarse grains and water you bought to form a dough, and then stick it to the inside of the pot wall and press it into a cake shape.

Cover the pot and cook it for about half an hour, and when the pot is steaming white, the meal is ready.

The young man took off the soup cakes, filled two bowls of wild vegetable soup, and took two pairs of chopsticks and put them on the small wooden table on the bed.

An He was extremely hungry, so he was no longer polite, and ate four cooking cakes in a row and drank two bowls of wild vegetable soup, although the soup did not taste very good, except for salt, there was nothing else.

After eating, An He had the strength, and after helping the boy clean up the dishes and chopsticks, he became interested in the bow and arrow hanging on the wall, took it off, and used the strength of feeding to pull it halfway.

This kind of thing, An He only saw in the park playground when he was a child, but it is just a thing that modern people use for entertainment.

An He drew an arrow and played with it in his hand, the arrow feathers were made of goose feathers, and the arrow shaft and arrow were sharpened with a sub, and he touched it with his hand, which was extremely sharp.

The young man said: Because the family is poor, the bow and arrow are all made by him, the goose feathers on the arrow feather are collected from the back kitchen of the Yuelai Xiang Hotel, and there are many mangshan near the bamboo shaft of the arrow shaft, and there are no raw materials for the arrow shaft.

This arrow is not the same as what An He imagined, the carved arrows used in the TV series were used to kill the enemy on the battlefield in the Tang Dynasty, and ordinary hunters could not afford to use it.

When sleeping at night, because there was only one kang in the house, the two had to sleep in the same bed, but fortunately, both of them were very thin, and one kang was not too crowded.

Since it was still spring, the two of them only covered a thin quilt, and they didn't feel too cold.

During the conversation, An He knew that the young man's name was Lin Yishan, his mother died of malaria the year before last, and his father was both a father and a mother.

In the year when his mother died of illness, Ashina Helu, who was then the general of Zuo Xiaowei and the governor of Yaochi, secretly summoned the old ministry and took advantage of the death of Taizong and the new monarch Li Zhi had just ascended the throne to launch a rebellion, deviate from the Tang Dynasty, and constantly disturb Xizhou and Liangzhou.

Li Zhi was furious, conscripted 100,000 troops to defend the northwest, guarded against the Turks, waited for an opportunity to counterattack, and prepared to conquer the Western Turks in one fell swoop and raise the western border.

Lin Yishan's father was conscripted as an auxiliary soldier by the government according to the conscription system at that time, and was stationed in the northwest with the army to quell the rebellion.

If you want to say that the military system of the Taizong and Gaozong periods is really enough to cheat, not only do you have to buy your own equipment and weapons, but you also have to bring your own rations.

After his father left, because he couldn't pay the rent, he had to sell 60 acres of land to the Wang family of the family in Yongcheng County, and the family only had 20 acres of land and 20 acres of Yongye field. Without his father's support, Lin Yishan had to drop out of Mangshan Academy and go home.

Due to the weak strength of the person, the land can not be cultivated, most of the cultivated land at home is barren, fortunately, a mountain often followed his father into Mangshan to hunt, learned a lot of hunting methods, plus good health, familiar with the mountain road, good archery, is now a well-known hunter.

While hunting in the mountains, you can chop firewood for money, although life is a bit tight, but you can also maintain daily expenses.

Lin Yishan said to An He: "You and I are the same age, you are two or three years older than me at most, I am thirteen years old, I will call you brother in the future!"

An He was stunned: I am twenty-seven years old, how can I be two or three years older than you?

I looked at my clothes that used to fit well, but now I was very wide, and thought to myself, maybe the wormhole changed my age while changing my space.

"I've been an orphan since I was a child, let alone a brother, and my parents don't know where they are, it's my blessing to have a younger brother like you, and you will be my brother in the future, so I'll call you a mountain."

Thinking that he crossed over to this Tang Dynasty alone, and there was no other relative, the only one he knew and was willing to be a brother with him was this thirteen-year-old boy, An He couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

"I must let Lin Yishan live a happy life and become the richest, happiest, and most respectable man in Yongcheng County!"

Looking at this young man who took him in without hesitation when he was in the most difficult time, and then looked at this family with four walls, it is estimated that even the thief does not care about it, An He suddenly gave birth to a sense of man's responsibility.
