When I was sleeping in a daze, there was the sound of exciting and jumping wheels rolling overhead, and the bustling crowd was very noisy.

Lao Niu patted Chanchan's shoulder, saw her wake up, and said with a smile: "I am young, and I slept quite soundly." Get up, the bridge is lively, go out and have a look. ”

Chanchan smiled and agreed, and got up after giving birth to a lazy waist, the sea was still in the dark corner where he saw him last night, curled up, and when he saw Chanchan wake up, he also got up.

Walking out of the bridge, the early morning air broke into Chanchan's arms with dew and hugged her.

The stalls on the bridge were gradually set up, and on the other side of the bridge, there was a wonton stall under a big tree, braving the white mist all over the sky.

The scent of chaos penetrated Chanchan's nose and throat from afar, touching her trouser belt, empty. I can't help but feel lost.

I'm hungry.

Although the sea on the side didn't speak, he had been carefully observing Chanchan, seeing her changing expression, he put his eyes on the wonton stall not far away, and took out a few copper plates from his clothes and shook them in front of Chanchan.

"Are you going to treat me to ravioli?"

The sea nodded.

The man made the skin with water and noodles, wrapped the cabbage and pork stuffing that had been prepared in the skin, and gently pinched it with one hand, and the appearance of the ingots was revealed.

He grabbed a handful from the pile of raw wontons and threw it into the boiling soup as if at random. After waiting for a while, the "big ingots" that floated on the soup noodles were scooped into the celadon bowl, sprinkled with a few shallots, and the aroma was overflowing.

Take a bite, chewy and fragrant.

"Boss, another bowl!"

Chanchan wiped the soup stains on the corners of her mouth, and she was still unfinished.

The man got the order, grabbed the chaos and went back to the soup.

The sea looked at the bowl on the table in embarrassment, and couldn't help but feel ashamed.

On the other side of the wonton stall, there were a few early risers, eating hot wontons in one bite and talking about the recent events in Yongwu Town.

"I heard that a high-ranking official will come to Chang'an recently, and he will come to inspect us."

"Heh, I said why the entry and exit have been so strict recently, you can't get out without customs clearance documents, and people from outside can't get in."

"But no, how important is the life of that high-ranking official, our Wang Lizheng has been busy recently, and the nearby county orders have come, and there are so many people in our town at once, for fear that there will be a mistake, and my head will not be safe."

Although Chanchan was eating fragrant wontons, her ears had been listening to the Quartet, and of course she had heard the conversation of those men.

Paperwork?

He fled in a hurry, and along the way, he sat in the Tengyun carriage conjured up by Jiang Cheng, and he did not go through various checkpoints, and there was no certificate such as customs clearance documents.

You can also secretly call Cha Cha Mu out by yourself and use a small trick to escape, but what about the sea?

His brows tightened, and his mouth quickened his movements.

According to the men's words, the high-ranking official should not have come to Yongwu Town now, if you want to leave, you must hurry, otherwise when the high-ranking official comes, you will not be able to get out, and you can't stay here all the time, it is easier to be found by Jiang Si and the others.

Drinking the wontons and soup in the bowl together, Chanchan wiped her mouth and said to the sea: "I'm going to go to Cheng's groceries to do some things now, and we'll leave when the things are done!" You go back first, wait for me to come back. ”

The sea did not refuse and obediently returned to the original bridge.

He wasn't worried that Chanchan would leave him behind, after all, he didn't give her any benefits, even if she left him alone, he had nothing to say about her.

Walking along the road she came, Chanchan soon arrived at Cheng's groceries.

Yesterday's guy Lao Zhang came out to look on the street, Chanchan felt strange and asked, "Who are you looking at?" ”

The guy was startled and complained: "Why did you come out all of a sudden?" He pointed to the inside of the shop and said, "I told the shopkeeper about you yesterday, he has been waiting for you inside for a long time, come in." ”

Chanchan followed the man's steps to the back of the store, and when she entered, there was a small courtyard, three small houses were adjacent to each other, and there were a lot of vegetables in the center of the yard.

The guy shouted inside: "Shopkeeper Hu, he's here!" ”

The guy pushed Chanchan in, and didn't forget to say again: "Don't be a liar, otherwise I will take you to the government." ”

Chanchan smiled and waved her hand: "No, no, really good people with real money." ”

The shopkeeper came out as he spoke, a middle-aged man with a big belly and a shiny face, with a pair of small bean-sized eyes that turned from time to time, and he had an indescribable philistine atmosphere.

"You're the one who says you're a friend of the old man?"

Although the person in front of him was dirty and sloppy and there was no difference between him and a real homeless man, just in case he was really a tiger in Pingyang, he still had to stutter, so he didn't have impatience on his face, but spoke softly.

Chanchan took out the beautiful jade with good color from her arms, the shopkeeper took it with both hands, and looked at the sun, this workmanship texture is indeed not like ordinary jade, and a tiny Cheng clan emblem is engraved in the corner of the jade.

The shopkeeper returned the jade pendant with both hands, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what this old man needs from the shop?" ”

"My clothes are tattered and tattered, and I don't have a good place to live, so you can give me a few silver ingots. When I return to Luoyang, I will definitely talk to Chengyu. ”

The shopkeeper was busy saying okay, and the envoy took out ten silver ingots from the shop and handed them to Chanchan.

Bidding farewell to Cheng's groceries, Chanchan went back to the bottom of the small bridge with the ten ingots.

When the sea saw Chanchan coming back, she was still bulging in her arms and came over with concern.

"I've got money, let's leave today!"

The eyes of the sea lit up, and Chanchan kept gesturing and thanking.

They went to the gate of the town first, unusually, looking out of the town, they could see a long line, there were at least six officers and soldiers patrolling in front of the door, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate carefully looked at the customs clearance documents in the hands of the visitors, whether they went out or entered, they were strictly supervised.

There was no such a big battle yesterday, probably because the high-ranking officials who those men talked about were coming in the morning.

After only a glance from a distance not far away, Chanchan gave up the idea of walking out of the door.

Without customs clearance documents, she can't even stay in Yongwu Town, and maybe she will be imprisoned as some illegal, which will not make up for the loss, and the gain will not taste the loss.

Chanchan didn't think about asking the shopkeeper to help, but where did he get the things that circulated in the government such as customs clearance documents, besides, the shopkeeper was a shrewd person at a glance, if he came to the door and said that there was no customs clearance paperwork, he couldn't guarantee his suspicion and reported to the government.

After thinking about it, I still think about going to sea again.

She pulled the sea to the dock again.

Although Yongwu Town is a town, it is close to the mountains and the sea, and the transportation is much more convenient than those big counties.

As soon as I entered the dock, I smelled a fishy smell of fish, and some of them were returning from fishing and were collecting their nets, and the fish in the nets were poured out, and the women were cleaning them up one by one.

Shuttling through the crowded dock, Chanchan didn't know which boat moored on the shore was out to sea, grabbed a fisherman who hurried by, and asked, "I don't know how to go to sea?" ”

The fisherman glanced at her a few times, broke away from Chanchan's hand, and replied, "It's a foreigner, right?" The ships that go to sea depart every half month, and the nearest one is only in these four or five days. ”

Four or five days!

"Is there a ship going overseas today? I can give double the money. ”

The fisherman smiled: "You don't look like a rich person, you want to take a black boat, right?" Tell you, Yongwu Town has been strictly managed recently, and those ships that have taken people out to sea in the past dare not commit crimes against the wind, no matter how much money you give, it is useless, money is important? ”

I really didn't expect to go out today and hit a wall again and again.

Even the way out to sea at the end was blocked by the high-ranking officials who kept appearing in other people's mouths, and I couldn't help but be indignant.

Maybe Chanchan's lost look was too aggrieved, the fisherman was a little soft-hearted, he was kind-hearted, and he helped people to the end, and said: "We often go to teahouses and restaurants for recreation, you can try your luck, if you meet a ...... who is willing to take you to sea"

He didn't say any more, but Chanchan already understood what he meant.

Thanking him gratefully, he took out two copper coins from his arms, which was what she specially asked the shopkeeper for change, in the eyes of outsiders, she was a penniless poor bastard, and she took out a silver ingot, which was really eye-catching, and it was easy to be remembered by thieves.

The fisherman waved his hand and rejected her copper coin: "I'll just say casually, whether there is anyone to help you is not necessarily, you don't need to take the money to thank me, you can keep it for yourself to buy baked cakes to eat." ”

On the way back, I met the old cow squatting under the restaurant, and I felt very cordial.

sat down next to him and told him what happened today, and Lao Niu comforted him in turn: "I know the high-ranking official you are talking about, it is from Chang'an, and I heard that he is the prime minister of the dynasty." ”

"His surname is Ping, he is the younger brother of the queen, he was a famous gentleman in Chang'an when he was a child, and when he grew up, he was much more restrained, and he was honest and fair in government affairs, and I don't know what he came here for."

"Prime Minister Ping, at most stay here for two or three days before leaving, you wait for this wind to go to sea again, we always have a piece of land under the bridge for you to live."

Chanchan was surprised that Lao Niu knew so much about that high-ranking official, and asked with a smile, but she didn't expect it to be exchanged for an unfathomable smile from Lao Niu: "Don't underestimate the name Huazi on the side of the road, maybe we know more things than those powerful people." ”

I wanted to ask some royal secrets, but there was a fight in the restaurant.

Lao Niu and everyone went up in a crowd, and pulled Chanchan by the hand: "It's a good show, drunks are fighting." ”

The man who was kicked out of the restaurant was a man, he was wearing a loose and dragging gray coarse cloth, and he could smell a strong sour smell emanating from him at a distance of about ten meters.

The little second in the restaurant crossed his waist, waved the white cloth in his hand, and shouted: "I don't have money to come to the restaurant to eat, I don't know how many days I haven't taken a bath, this smell makes our restaurant smelly, hurry up, and want to make trouble?" ”

With that, he walked away with contempt.

The man seemed to be a little drunk, staggered his steps, pointed at Xiao Er and said angrily: "Lao Tzu is rich, who do you say has no money!" ”

The crowd of onlookers gradually increased, and they surrounded the man and pointed and pointed.

"Then you should take it out, the two bottles of good flowers you ordered in the store just now, a jar of daughter red and all kinds of dishes, I will charge you three taels of silver." Xiao Er stretched out his hand, "Where's the money?" ”

The man's center of gravity was a little unstable, he took three steps back in a row, and took something out of his waist, "I didn't bring it today, I'll give it to you tomorrow." ”

As if he had anticipated the man's words for a long time, Xiao Er smiled contemptuously: "It's just a little trotter, what kind of uncle." He turned around and went back to the restaurant.

After all, the man was drunk, sat down on the ground, lay back, and fell asleep.

The crowd of onlookers saw that there was no excitement and gradually dispersed.

Lao Niu pulled Chanchan away, and said in his mouth: "You can still eat like this, the old man has learned, and he will go to the restaurant to enjoy it." ”

Chanchan always looked back at the man.

Fang Cai's little second said, this man is running the boat?

Is it possible to take him and the sea out to sea?
