"Dangdang Dang"

The two listened to the sound of bells and drums in the distance with annoyance, and looked at the tall city wall of Jizhou helplessly.

Slowly walked with the four teenagers for a long time, they said that Jizhou was going to close the city gate, although Chen Xin had seen it in some history books, but he didn't think about it, he hurried or was a step late, so a group of six people were locked out of the city gate.

Fortunately, there is also an inn outside the city gate, six people opened three middle rooms, three boys and a little girl, three rooms are a total of four and a half cents of silver, Chen Xin wants some simple meals, a total of eight and a half cents of silver, this time Chen Xin has experience, estimated the size of the penny in the afternoon, took out a silver nugget, and handed it to the shopkeeper. It depends on how the shopkeeper should distinguish the size and how to make change.

I saw that the shopkeeper glanced at the candle flame a few times, took out a nickname from under the counter, weighed it and then took out a clip clip, skillfully cut off a few pieces with a few clicks, and picked up the nickname again, and said, "Please see it." Turning the weighing rod to Chen Xin, Chen Xin naturally couldn't understand it, pretending to nod, and the shopkeeper returned the cut part to Chen Xin.

Chen Xin looked at the silver nuggets on the scale at a glance again, and roughly remembered the size of eight cents of silver. casually asked the shopkeeper: "If you use copper coins, what is the price?" ”

The shopkeeper looked at him strangely and said, "Son-in-law still brings so much copper money when he goes out?" If it is Jiajing Longqing Wanli gold back money, one or two discount five or six hundred Wen, if it is private money, it must be seen in quality, the good one or two for one thousand five hundred, and the bad one or two for three thousand is also available. ”

Chen Xin nodded, and then took a piece of silver and threw it to the shopkeeper: "Prepare bath water for my companions, make the meals better, and wait for them to wash before serving!" ”

When the shopkeeper got the money, he immediately nodded and told the guy to handle it quickly......

A lamp is like a bean, jumping on the porcelain lampstand, six people sit around the table and spit out, no one speaks, Chen and Liu have not eaten for a day, and the other four people have not eaten for a long time, six dishes and two pots of rice are facing the sky in a blink of an eye.

In addition to the sea dog, the other two little beggars are two brothers, also Haizhou Wei, one is called Zhang Dahui, seventeen years old, is the one who shouted "the dog is coming" and then was hit by the scar on his nose, the other is called Zhang Erhui, fourteen years old, and Zhang Dahui sneaked up on the scar is him, it turns out that there are three and four meetings, and he also died on the way into the customs, the little girl is called Wang Daixi, thirteen years old, and she can't even say where she is, she only knows that it is from Liaodong. Because they were all Haizhou Wei's people, the three teenagers mixed together, and not long ago they brought Wang Daixi with them.

The four of them took a shower before eating, changed into the old clothes that the two of them robbed, and completely changed their appearance, there were many large and small scars on the face of the sea dog, Zhang Dacheng and the two brothers were a little better, but there were also a lot, obviously they had suffered a lot since entering the customs, and their eyes were a little dumbfounded, only after Wang Daixi cleaned, he was well-behaved and skillful, and his eyes turned around smartly, and he remembered to give the sea dog two dishes.

"Big brother, it's the first time I've eaten so much, I'll wash your clothes and cook for you in the future, and I'll always follow you, okay?"

"Good, good. It's just that the eldest brother doesn't even have a place to live, and if you follow us, you will also suffer. Liu Minyou liked Dai Xi quite a lot, and Ai Lian said to her.

"I'm not afraid of hardship, my eldest brother is so majestic, I can make a lot of money soon, and when my eldest brother buys a house, I will live in a firewood house, and it won't be cold in winter. In the past, there was only one quilt at home, and my mother always hugged me to sleep in winter, so it was not cold. ”

"Home?" Liu Minyou listened in a daze, thinking about his home that he had saved but could never go back to.

"Brother Liu? Did you ever have a home? Wang Daixi looked up at Liu Minyou, his eyes were shining.

Liu Minyou came back to his senses, quietly wiped the corners of his eyes, snatched the last piece of meat from under Chen Xin's chopsticks, and put it in the bowl with joy.

"Thank you, Brother Liu, I don't dare to eat Brother Chen's meat."

Chen Xin scolded with a smile: "Brother Chen's meat is not delicious. ”

Liu Min patted his head with joy: "Eat with joy, Brother Chen is full, and there is a lot of waste." ”

He picked up the meat with joy and was about to eat it, when he remembered something, he put the meat in Zhang Dada's bowl and said, "Brother Dahui has shed a lot of blood today, and Brother Dahui eats it." ”

Zhang Dahui swallowed it in one gulp, but still didn't care about speaking, and began to fill a bowl of rice again.

When the four teenagers were full, the two refused their request to help wash their feet, and sent them back to the house, Chen Xincai sat down to wash his feet, and said to Liu Minyou: "We take turns to sleep at night, don't sleep both of you." ”

"Why?"

"What if someone comes and steals the money?"

"You mean the four of them? No way. ”

"Be careful, we just met today, we are lucky, we just came and got silver, without silver, we are just like them. Besides, you have to guard against other people, this is outside the city, and the boss said that there is no patrol. ”

Liu Min thought about it, this bit of silver is now the only asset of the two, so he nodded and agreed.

"I'll enter Jizhou tomorrow, but what will I do when I enter Jizhou?" Liu Minyou asked, staring at the candle flame.

"Besides, there is a place to live, and I don't know how to farm, this bit of silver on my body, I estimate the weight, at most it is a few dozen taels, only when I enter the city can I have a chance, so I take a few dolls to shake around, and I don't know how long this money can last."

"Staying in Jizhou? Aren't you afraid of running into that demon fat man, medicine farmer, shopkeeper beggar or something again? ”

"Also, let's take a look at what this Ming city is like first, buy clothes and leave, and change places."

"Do you want to go to Jingshi? You love politics so much, go to Beijing to talk about it. ”

"Forget it, in this era, you have to pass the eight-share exam to be qualified to talk about politics, or you will practice the sunflower classic, I can't take the eight-share test, second, I don't dare to wield a knife from the palace, and third, I don't even have an identity, if I cross over to a lifting person, I will still be guilty of going to Mengna's fat man."

Liu Min said: "Why don't we go to Tianjin?" ”

Chen Xin agreed: "Let's go to Tianjin in a few days to see, after all, it's my hometown, the north will not be peaceful in a few years, we will take a boat to Jiangnan if we have the opportunity, Jiangnan has no major turmoil until Chongzhen hanged himself, anyway, there are more than ten years, we have this little capital, go to Jiangnan to do some business and make a living, Jiangnan at the end of the Ming Dynasty is very interesting." In short, let's take one step at a time. ”

Liu Min is not familiar with these, but he feels that Chen Xin will accept his younger brother as soon as he comes, and it doesn't look like he wants to mess around.

At this time, it was only after nine o'clock, both of them were night owls, never went to bed before twelve o'clock, but today they were tired, to say that this ancient night, except in the room, there was no light everywhere, if it was cloudy, it was really out of sight.

Chen Xin washed his feet and fell asleep first, Liu Min was afraid that it would affect Chen Xin's sleep, so he blew out the lamp and sat at the table, it was silent outside, only a few dogs barked occasionally, and he sat for a while and was extremely bored, so he went to the window and pushed the window open.

A gust of night breeze blew across his face, raised his head, the window was full of stars, the bright and winding Milky Way was clearly visible, Liu Minyou was stunned, as if he was looking at the original brightly lit city. The skies of the later industrial era have long since lost their current clarity.

Liu Minyou knew that Chen Xin was not asleep, and asked, "You say, which star did the pyramid that took us through come from?" ”

"Abbotan or Avatar, or the moon? Who knows. ”

"Dangdangdang" Jizhou's bell and drum tower came from the bell and drum tower again, this time the drum was not beaten, a total of eighteen, the clear bell in the quiet night if there is substance.

"This alarm clock is good, the next time you ring the bell, you will wake me up and replace you. I slept first. Chen Xin said in the dark. Then there was the sound of turning over, and after a while, there was a burst of snoring.

"This is the night of the Ming Dynasty." Liu Minyou muttered to himself.
