Chapter 4: Dizzying

The county is near the water and the city, the square circle is not big, the waterways in the city are vertical and horizontal, the green willows are planted all over, the streets are tortuous and meandering, the houses are low, some take wood as the wall, some take the soil as the wall, the roof is mostly green tiles, row upon row, the peddlers are pawns, they shuttle in the narrow alleys, or groups of three or five, squatting on the side of the road, put their goods on the spot, each other's homes are short and long, when someone stops, they greet warmly, after entering the city, Zhang Liang is more excited than Zhang Ling'er, look at the stalls, touch the wooden wall, point and point, tsk, Zhang Liang's strange behavior, From time to time, it attracted everyone's attention, including officials wearing knee-length green clothes and green hats, which made Zhang Ling'er and Zhang Niu's eyes dodge and dodge.

On the main street, the government is solemn and majestic, and the shops next to it are lined up, or selling kitkat small things, or rouge gouache, ready-to-wear cloth, rice wine bowl tea, pastries and snacks, and even two bookstores.

However, the pedestrians on this main street are better dressed and more relaxed. Sometimes you can see some little ladies who are dressed or brightly dressed, or plain, smiling and clear-talking, and some even wear shoulder-length curtain hats, but they are graceful and graceful, and they can always attract Zhang Liang.

Looking at beauties, no matter when, where, or what kind of mentality, Zhang Liang is tired of it. Zhang Niu sold the goods of the three to the old buyer together, and got a total of eight copper coins.

Zhang Liang looked at the copper plate printed with the four characters of Kaiyuan Tongbao in his hand, thinking, if this is in the Celestial Empire, it should be very valuable, the first few years of the popular antique craze, if he held so many in his hand at that time, think about it, but now, I don't know what to buy, remember that a thousand copper plates are always money, and it is only one or two silver.

In my impression, it is almost money. The three of them were already hungry, and Zhang Ling'er next to them didn't want anything, so when they walked past the food stall, they also looked at it.

Looking at Zhang Ling'er's well-behaved appearance, Zhang Liang liked it more and more. The three of them found a vacant land, nibbling on the dry cakes they had prepared when they came, it was already afternoon at this time, and they were afraid that it would not be possible to go back today, and it was also a small county nearby, if they went to a big city more than a hundred miles away, it would take three days to go back and forth.

Camping outside the city is a common occurrence. I bought some green salt and Shu pepper from the vendor, and spent two copper plates.

It hurts to look at it. Zhang Liang wanted to buy some paper to go back, but this stunned Zhang Ling'er and Zhang Niu next to him.

Zhang Niu asked in surprise: "What do you do when you buy paper, do you write, you can read" That is natural, looking at Zhang Ling'er's adoring eyes, Zhang Liang replied triumphantly.

However, when I saw all kinds of signboards on the street, I barely recognized half of them, so it would be a little difficult to write them.

This is thanks to the fact that when I was in middle school, in order to show off my traditional Chinese characters in front of my female classmates, I bought an ancient Chinese dictionary, and slowly became a little interested, plus my Chinese grades were good, and I won the favor of the teacher, and I can also write a few by hand, I still remember when I was in the third grade of primary school, I asked to buy a brush, but it also means to learn how to hold a pen,.

But Zhang Liang still said more honestly: "Yes, not much," at this time Zhang Niu was very happy, growing so big, Zhang Liang was the second person he knew who could write.

Suddenly, Zhang Liang's eyes changed, constantly complimenting, and his voice was so loud, I wanted to let the people around him hear it, and he had more face.

For Zhang Niu, books are sacred. So I never thought I'd go to a bookstore one day. tremblingly, he followed Zhang Liang into the bookstore.

There was also an old man in his fifties, with a long cracked beard and a little gray, and looked at the three people who came in in old clothes suspiciously.

Asked casually: "Guest officer, what's the matter" Zhang Liang looked at the bamboo slips and books piled up on the shelves around him.

He said, "Shopkeeper, how do you sell paper here?" Five pennies a town. It's so expensive, and if you think about it, it's too worthless.

"It's expensive, compared to the Central Plains, the paper we have here is not only of good quality, but also cheap, and the writing is good." The old man was slightly stunned.

Zhang Liang touched the paper and said curiously: "Why is it so rough, it is still so hard, how can it be used in the toilet, is there anything soft" After the old man understood, he was furious.

"I saw that you, a mountain and wild horseman, dared to come to me to spread wild, insult me, insult the ancestor, and do filthy things with this holy paper, get out, get out," a punch hit Zhang Liang's left eye directly in anger.

Zhang Liang was inexplicable and angry, but seeing an old man so sloppy, he couldn't help it. At this time, a group of people gathered outside the store, looking at the excitement, and pointing, as if mocking.

Zhang Liang had no choice but to lead the two out of the dust. Zhang Niu looked at Zhang Liang, whose eyes were gradually darkened, as if he wanted to speak, but he endured it.

After only a while, I feel that wherever I go, there are people to guide me. Zhang Ling'er felt that it didn't matter at this time, so she took Zhang Liang's shirt and followed behind.

The three of them walked outside the teahouse, full of people, listening quietly like a storyteller, where the mouth was like a river, the story probably said that a navy python, over time, turned into a basilisk, with a bloody mouth, for the world, this is too general, can not arouse Zhang Liang's interest at all, I remember that when the teacher talked about extracurricular reading, he took the "Legend of the New White Lady" that could not be touched every summer vacation to share, saying that people used to compare snakes to evil, saying that it was later changed into a good snake by a Tang Dynasty guy named Yuan Zhen, and gradually evolved.

Zhang Niu and Zhang Ling'er next to him were in a trance, thinking about squeezing in, Zhang Liang hurriedly grabbed and said,

"Don't go, there's nothing good to hear, I will, and it's better, if you want to listen to it on the way back, I'll tell you about it, serve alone", Zhang Ling'er didn't believe it: "Really, it's better than this storyteller," suddenly, all the people who were listening to the play in front of them turned their heads, Zhang Ling'er's abrupt voice, everyone heard it, the storyteller was angry at this time, thinking that someone smashed the field, how to get face, and a few people who listened to the book also followed the coaxing, and the more the storyteller listened, the more he opened his arms and made a noise.

At this time, Zhang Liang was also embarrassed, feeling sorry for the storyteller, and he couldn't bear it when he encountered it, so he kept making amends.

Suddenly, a cry came from thirty meters away, no, who knows water, who knows water, The surrounding crowd quickly surrounded him, Zhang Liang was dizzying, and he followed.
