Chapter 149: Snatching Food

PS: Yesterday was interrupted for a day, I'm very sorry, the reason, everyone understands.

Lao Yu spent more than 10,000 yuan yesterday, including a bed, Simmons, bedside table, air purifier, LCD TV, cotton boots, air conditioner, mobile phone for his wife, bags and snacks

Wu Wei likes to travel in modern times, and especially likes self-guided travel, he used to go to Panyu City in the south with Guangdong classmates to live for a week, looking at the strategy according to the map, and playing, very happy.

He is keen to use his feet to travel around an unfamiliar city, taste the most authentic local food, and listen to the most authentic local dialect, and he likes to feel the authentic flavor of a city in this way.

Especially the historical buildings in the city, those ancient alleys that only locals are familiar with, there is a strong smell of the vicissitudes of time, sometimes looking at the wooden doors on both sides of the stone path, there is really a feeling, as if behind the door is another time and space.

And sign up for the tour group, although you don't need to worry about all the affairs, accommodation, transportation, food and drink are responsible for your own travel agency, but the itinerary is in a hurry, the scenery is like a glimpse, a few years later, looking back on the album, sometimes it is strange that I have been there, but there is no impression at all.

This time, Wu Wei and Li Chong went to Zunhua to take up their posts, and they had to pass through Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Jiangsu, Shandong, and Hebei provinces along the way, no less than thousands of miles, which was really a luxury self-help tour. In this Ming Dynasty, except for the merchants who "value profit and ignore parting" and the officials who "travel to the eunuchs", other people really have no chance to have such an experience.

There is a kind of people. Xiucai has the privilege of studying with swords, but except for some wealthy children who have the conditions to travel to the mountains and rivers, ordinary scholars are hanging their heads on the beams in order to gain fame, and they are attacking books all day long, so how can they have such leisure.

Moreover, with the traffic conditions and public security conditions of this era, it is really a very risky thing to travel far away, not to mention the mysterious "water and soil adaptation". This also makes "Xu Xiake's Travels" a geographical masterpiece, in fact, from a modern point of view, this is just a long guide written by a senior traveler.

The so-called water and soil are not adapted. It is nothing more than a cold caused by the temperature difference in the climate. Or endemic diseases such as malaria in the south, which are a piece of cake in the eyes of modern medicine, but in the eyes of the ancients, they are a big deal.

For example, Xiang Yu's sub-father Fan Zeng. was so angry that he "died of carbuncles" on his back. In fact, the "carbuncle" is nothing more than a pustule under the skin. At present, it is a matter of spending 20 yuan at a small pharmacy at the end of the street to buy two boxes of amoxicillin. In ancient times, it became a dangerous and serious disease, and the famous rich man Deng Tong was given several copper mountains in Sichuan by helping Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty suck "carbuncles" with his mouth, so as to enrich the world.

All in all. Tourism is an extremely luxurious thing for the ancient people, many simple villagers have never been out of a radius of 100 miles in their lives, for the thousands of people who accompanied Wu Wei this time, Zunhua and another world are not much different, basically everyone said goodbye to the ancestral tomb before leaving, and made plans to never return home.

But for Wu Wei, it is a completely different state of mind, he has a bright door by his side, safety is guaranteed by personal guards, and he does not spare money at all, and the food and accommodation along the way are according to the highest standards. Even in modern times, urban life is extremely stressful, but how many people have such an opportunity to enjoy life?

The best thing is that there is a beautiful woman by her side, although there is a Taoist old man next to this beauty, but after all, you can still see it from time to time, and the shame between a smile and a smile is also a different kind of fun.

Since he has been in Hukou Town for a few days, Wu Wei will naturally not let go of this good opportunity to experience the local customs, especially whether it is modern or Ming Dynasty, he has never been to Shanxi once.

The weather was very good on this day, Wu Wei called Zhao Wenzhuo and Wu Shisan and a few people, went out to the town for a walk, and by the way to see how the progress of the cargo transfer was.

Out of the gate of the post station, all the way, the market is very prosperous, densely populated, all industries are thriving, selling food, selling goods from the north and south, or even the casino green # building, all inclusive, the street is bustling, the voice of the people is boiling, it is more lively than the general county town, Zhao Wenzhuo and others are teenagers, see this prosperous scene are all elated.

Behind this prosperity is a striking disparity between the rich and the poor, and in addition to the few merchants (mainly Jin merchants) who used entrepot trade to get rich, there are a large number of hungry and cold displaced people. Soon everyone saw a lot of quail-clad homeless people curled up at the mouth of the alley, most of them just looked at the passers-by with numb eyes, and a few clever ones sang the lotus flower falling that they composed and performed themselves, hoping that the merchants would give a hand or two.

Although the weather is good, the sun shines on people warmly, but that is only for people wearing cotton jackets, although it is early spring, but because of the special climate of the Xiaoice River period, the outdoor temperature is still very low, most of the displaced people are some old women and children who have no ability to work, they are unkempt, unclothed, and some large areas of skin are still exposed, although they huddle together to warm each other, they are still shivering in the cold wind.

Wu Shiyi and others were bought by Wu Wei from the market, Zhao Wenzhuo was also born in poverty, and he empathized with the plight of these homeless people.

Wu Wei knew their thoughts, glanced at Wu Shiyi, saw that they were all looking at him, and said with a straight face: "What are you doing with me?" You have your own money, you can give it if you want. ”

Wu Shiyi and the others nodded vigorously, ran over and took out the dry food copper coins from their arms and handed them to those homeless people, they still remembered their duties, even at this time, they did not forget to leave the two guards around Wu Wei.

The behavior of the guards immediately caused a commotion, and some of the people who got the food immediately held it tightly in their arms, which was remembered that there were still children in the family, and some of them stuffed it in their mouths, regardless of the dry mouth, and immediately chewed soundly, needless to say, this must be alone, and some children grabbed their clothes and did not let go. Holding half of the broken pottery bowl in one hand, he said timidly in a childish voice: "I'm hungry"

The fortune teller who was setting up a stall and playing hexagrams showed a disgusted expression when he saw this, hurriedly cleaned up the stall and walked away, and let out a sneer with a "hum" through his nose when he passed by Wu Wei's side.

Wu Wei's guards beside him saw him like this, how could he bear it, grabbed him by the collar, and scolded him: "You guy, it's just a matter of not saving you when you see death, how dare you laugh at us like Qiao?" ”

The fortune teller was dressed in a thin blue shirt and a scarf. Short and thin. was grabbed by someone, and suddenly struggled, and the stalls were scattered all over the ground, only muttering: "Hugh is rude." Hugh was rude. Let it go first. I have something to say. ”

Wu Wei nodded slightly, and the pro-guard grabbed him hatefully and let him go.

I saw him staggering two steps before he stood firm. Ignoring his own food on the ground, he craned his neck and said to Wu Wei: "I kindly remind you, but how can you not know good people?" ”

Wu Weiqi said: "Kindly remind us? Seeing that the fortune teller didn't answer, he glanced at Wu Shiyi, sneered again, and saw the guards glaring at him with a pair of bull's eyes of the boss, and hurriedly forcibly stopped laughing, with a very strange expression.

Wu Wei followed his gaze and was stunned.

It turned out that a large group of homeless people suddenly came out of the corners of nowhere, more than ten times more than that, and countless hands stretched out to Wu Shiyi and them, and the dry food and copper coins that the guards brought with them were not much, and they had already been distributed, and they were immediately in a hurry.

There were also later snatches from the hands of the first-gainers, and the sound of beating and screaming was endless, together with the crying of children, the lamentation of the elderly and women, and the scene suddenly became a mess. After all, the guards are young, and they can't help but be at a loss in the face of this situation, pulling away from this side and starting to fight, pulling away from that side and having disputes, and there are many women and children inside, and they can't help but be afraid, and the wolf is unbearable.

There was also a stall selling pastries not far away, and was pushed down by someone in the chaos, and suddenly the homeless people rushed up and grabbed it, and the vendor was squeezed aside, and he was beaten a few times, and he did not dare to come forward, and watched his stall being robbed of everything, and sat on the ground and cried.

Originally, Wu Wei didn't go through such a scene, but there were as many people around him as he used to be, which was enough to maintain order, and everyone knew in advance that there was enough food, and they were not panicked, so the relief food could be distributed calmly, and these homeless people in front of him didn't know how many days they had been hungry.

That gentleman probably has seen a lot, and his business is often affected, and he hates this kind of behavior of being a good person!

Wu Wei saw that he had done something bad with good intentions, and his face suddenly became a little scornful, and he ordered Zhao Wenzhuo to bring the robbed hawker over, and without saying a word, he stuffed a ingots into his palm, and the man gently swiped it, which was enough to buy him a few pastry stalls.

The peddler was dressed in an old short brown and five short figures, and he couldn't help but be surprised and happy when he saw this, and he laughed and laughed, and hurriedly put the silver into his arms, looked around, and saw that no one noticed, so he knelt down and kowtowed to Wu Wei, and knocked the bluestone slab on the ground to a loud bang, and said: "Villain Li Daying, knock and thank Engong!" Kindness and kindness will surely be a prince for all generations! ”

Wu Wei hurriedly pulled him up and said with a smile: "Be careful, don't let people snatch it again, there won't be any more next time." "Just kidding, it's okay to kowtow, I didn't attract the homeless people over, and I had to run away, master.

The peddler Li Daying also smiled, and the fortune teller on the side had sharp eyes and mouth, and he had already seen that he had won a piece of silver, and he couldn't help but have hot eyes, and said, "You are lucky to meet this official." He sighed again: "Why should I run so fast when I knew this, this mess is worth a few dollars?" ”

Wu Wei saw that his stalls were scattered all over the place, all of them were ordinary brushes, yellow paper, etc., which were worth a few pennies, and the loss was very small, but he misunderstood him just now, and he didn't care, so he asked Zhao Wenzhuo to give him a few coins of silver, and the gentleman suddenly smiled, and his mouth couldn't close.

At this time, the situation suddenly changed, only to see two men wearing placket armor and soap Li rushed over, holding an iron ruler in the crowd to split their heads and faces, and suddenly the voices of the displaced people shouted and wailed, but no one dared to resist, just blindly hugged their heads and ran hard.

It turned out that this was the archer of the town's inspection department, responsible for maintaining daily law and order, and they came so quickly that someone had gone to report it.

Seeing that things had become like this, Wu Shiyi and the others also looked at each other, and Wu was afraid that they would cause more trouble, so he hurriedly gestured for them to come over.

He has the heart to help the displaced people here, but this time he carries not much food, and he wants to buy food on the spot with silver, but he doesn't know how many displaced people there are along the way, how can he be a head?

Just as he was hesitating, the chaotic scene in front of him had gradually subsided, but at this time, he suddenly heard someone shouting in the distance: There is food on the dock, folks, go and grab the food! (To be continued......)
