Chapter 0013: Descendants of Hua Tuo
Li Ang walked in the market with five pieces of money on his back, but fortunately this time he didn't cross over to a scholar who was powerless, otherwise he would have to be pressed down by these five copper coins.
I don't know how much it costs to sleep in the Qinglou for a night, if it costs ten yuan to sleep for a night, Lao Tzu carried 80 pounds of broken copper and iron on his back, and when he arrived in the Qinglou, he was probably so tired that he foamed at the mouth, and he walked against the wall, and he still had the strength to play with the girl?
Li Ang found a nearby inn, asked, only four copper coins for one night, and it was already in the room, Li Ang was full of a sense of wealth all of a sudden, but when he thought about it, it was not a way to carry 40 pounds of copper coins all day long.
He called the shopkeeper of the inn and asked, "Shopkeeper, can you help me exchange these copper coins for gold and silver?" ”
The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a sparse chin and beard, and he is a ...... A highly recognizable person. He looked at the burden that Li Ang had opened, squatted down and sniffed it deeply, and said, "Guest officer, your copper coin is in good condition, do you want to exchange it all?" ”
Li Ang had heard of smelling a woman by smelling incense, but he had never heard of such a person who could distinguish the color of copper coins, and under curiosity, he couldn't help but bend down and smell it, and when he raised his head, his nose was retracted, and his expression was strange: "Shopkeeper, can you really smell the color of copper coins?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "The guest officer said that he laughed, the villain is just a habit, a habit, hehe, don't take it seriously, how much do you want to change, the small shop can change it for you." ”
"Habit? Depend on! You're fooling me! ”
"The guest officer is angry, the guest officer is angry, the villain doesn't dare to lie to you, the villain loves to smell the copper coin when he is young"
"Do you have the face of a profiteer, hahaha! Okay, keep me three hundred, and exchange the rest for silver. ”
Waiting for the shopkeeper to exchange the copper coins for silver, Li Ang suddenly felt that he was very poor, and forty catties of copper coins were exchanged for more than four taels of silver, and he felt that his assets had shrunk seriously all of a sudden!
No, you have to work hard to make money, how can you say that we are also a prince, how can we meet people if we are too miserable? If you want to make money, you naturally have to go to the metropolis, and it is easy to make a lot of money in that kind of place.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Li Ang went downstairs for breakfast, and walked around, and most of the shops sold pasta. Specifically, it is mainly cake, and there are dozens of kinds of cakes, and things similar to steamed buns are also called cakes.
What steamed cakes, pancakes, hu cakes, soup cakes, people eat the most in the morning is noodle soup and porridge, although it is not to Li Ang's heart, but can only fill the stomach.
Out of Guankou Town, Li Ang took Tinker Bell all the way to Chengdu. The green hills on both sides of the road are like daisies, and the chickens and dogs in the villages smell each other.
Tinker Bell beside him suddenly became a little restless, and Leon squatted down and stroked its head and back, "Tinker Bell, these people have no ill will towards us at least now, don't worry." He had already discovered that someone was following him in the dark, and he was raised by wolves when he was a child, and his six senses were much more sensitive than ordinary people.
With the Zhao family following, although it may not be able to prevent the assassination, at least it will not be worse.
There are gradually more cars, horses and pedestrians on the road, and the people along the way wear mostly coarse cloth shirts and trousers, and the women's clothes are much brighter, but the women of these villages and wild families rarely have the kind of crisp breasts that are half-exposed in film and television, probably that kind of dress is only worn by aristocratic women.
Leon was lucky enough to catch an ox cart that hauled herbs, and half a cart of herbs included snow lotus, saffron, rhodiola and the like.
The owner of the ox cart is called Hua Jing, an old man in his fifties, and the person in charge of driving the cart is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old half-year-old named Hua Qiu.
Old man Hua was very talkative, and boasted to Li Ang that he said that he was the eighth generation of Hua Tuo, and Li Ang laughed when he heard it.
Immediately afterwards, Li Ang got a message from the old man Hua that the 2,000-strong army of Tubo had come to attack Yerong City, and the battle was quite fierce.
When Li Ang heard the news, it was as refreshing as drinking sour plum soup on a June day. He fooled Yu Shouzhong before, saying that the Tubo army was chasing him, and it was estimated that he would come to attack Yerong City.
I didn't expect the Tubo people to really come now, God help me!
Not only did he fulfill his lie, but Yu Shouzhong probably didn't have time to take care of him.
Seeing that Old Man Hua didn't have any nervous expression, Li Ang couldn't help but ask curiously: "Old Hua, aren't you afraid that the Tubo people are coming to attack Yerong City?" ”
Old man Hua was very arrogant and replied to him, "What is this? Has my Datang been at war with Tubo less over the years? The walls of Yerong City are thick, and the enemy attacks them year after year, and they return with great defeats again and again. Last year, tens of thousands of troops came to Tibet, but they didn't get a good deal, but this time only 2,000 people came, can they turn the sky upside down? Look at this road, can there be a slow army rushing to support? No, it means that Yerong City is as safe as a rock, otherwise the Jiannan Jiedu Envoy would have sent reinforcements earlier. After giving birth, you put your heart back in your stomach, the Tubo people can't get by. ”
"Yes, yes, Hua Lao is worthy of being well-informed and observant, so I am relieved."
Li Ang was really relieved, whether the Tubo people were angry because Wu Qi attacked Zhawa Village, and came down to take revenge, or because of other reasons to attack Yerong City, Li Ang believed that they would not announce to Yu Shouzhong that we were not here for Li Ang.
Hehe, it's cool!
After chatting warmly with Old Man Hua, Li Ang asked him, "Doctor Hua, are you recruiting apprentices?" When I was a child, I used to help my mother dry herbs, if your family recruits apprentices, I will go to Huashen Doctor to give you a hand, you can take care of my three meals. ”
"Little brother amused me, didn't he? Look at your outfit and listen to your conversation, do you look like someone who is giving an apprentice? Old man Hua habitually sniffed with herbs, sniffed the saffron, put it down, picked up the snow lotus and sniffed it, a bit like people snuff and enjoyed it very much.
Li Ang picked up a sun-dried snow lotus and chewed it twice in his mouth, and sighed: "Doctor Hua, I have no father or mother, and I don't even have any relatives, don't look at me dressed decently, it was a favor for others, and someone else gave it away." In addition to this outfit, I don't even have a change of clothes, and now I also call the world home, and I don't even have a place to go. ”
"Yo! No, where is the little brother from? Old man Hua sat up straight all of a sudden, and looked at Li Ang with some disbelief.
"I'm from Chengdu, but I was abducted when I was young, begging everywhere for food, and when I was a little older, I gave people some odd jobs to make a living, Huashen Doctor, you see." Leon said and stretched out his hands.
Old man Hua saw that his hands were covered with thick calluses, so he believed most of them, how much hard work must be done to produce such thick calluses on his hands!
Old man Hua said with some embarrassment: "Don't hide it from the little brother, the old family really can't afford to invite anyone." Otherwise, why buy some herbs, why do I have to run around with this old bone. ”
"By the way, what about the children of Doctor Hua's knees?"
"The old man has a son and a daughter under his knees, the unfilial son has been spoiled by his mother since he was a child, he doesn't learn good medical skills, he loves to dance with guns and sticks when he is a child, and he causes trouble everywhere, a few years ago, he simply ran to Longyou to join the army, forget it, don't mention this rebel, the old man has long been without this unfilial son."
"The boy and Doctor Hua fell in love at first sight, if you don't dislike it, accept me as a righteous son, I have a lot of strength, and I won't eat and drink your old one for nothing."
"Hehe, well, let's talk about it, let's talk about it. Little brother, if you really don't have a place to go, you can go to the old man's house and settle down first. ”
"Okay! Then thank you Hua Lao. ”
What Li Ang is asking for is just a temporary foothold, more precisely, he wants to ask for an "account". Although Old Man Hua talks about everything, he has some scruples, which is also human nature. This acquaintance didn't work for a day, and it was always too abrupt to accept people's righteous sons.
Under the bright sunshine, the scenery of early spring on the roadside is clear and gorgeous, and the flowers that are in bloom, the fragrant grass, and the swallows returning in spring are flying around busily, building nests in the mud.
With a place to stay, Li Ang was in a good mood, chewing on the dried snow lotus and humming: "Smoke smoke, towards that side, fire to fire, to me, kill a chicken to fight the gang, I eat chicken brains, you eat chicken butts, eat sugar chicken shit, blame you don't blame me"
Old man Hua and Xiao Qiu, who was driving the car, laughed when they heard this, "Little brother, one more, one more." ”
"Well, listen! On the night of the thirtieth day, the thief got up and stole the urinal tank. The deaf man heard the sound of footsteps, the blind man saw that he was climbing over the courtyard wall, and the lame man followed him, and the dumb man shouted loudly, and his claws came out to grab it, and the idiot went up to the hall to ask for a closer look. ”
"Hahaha"
"What are you laughing at? Looking for a fight! ”
The three of them sat in an ox cart and walked with a grin. was laughing happily, a cold drink suddenly came from behind, Li Ang looked back, but saw a white commotion behind him, the people in front of him were holding the spirit flag, and a row of carriages behind them pulled dozens of large coffins, turning out from the left side of the hillside in a mighty way.
Depend on! Where did so many dead people come from.
Li Ang secretly thought, and suddenly his heart moved, this is really a ghost!
