Chapter 16: Magical Green Light
Butcher Zhang Jin is a very ordinary butcher in Hongyang County, running a butcher shop, and his business is also passable, he can earn one or two hundred wen a day, and when the business is good, he can earn three or four hundred wen, which is considered a rich person.
There is an old mother and a virtuous wife, as well as a naughty and lovely daughter, and the family makes a living from the butcher's shop, and their life is ordinary.
This time, Zhang Guangyi was asked to be a helper, mainly because his body was getting worse day by day, and it began to become laborious to slaughter livestock alone.
Don't look at him now that he is only in his thirties, and his body is also very strong, but he has lived in the slaughterhouse for many years, and it is inevitable that he will be accidentally injured by the deathly counterattack of the animals.
Over the years, he has fallen into a dark wound, and now, he is already a broken body. Usually there is some slight pain in doing things, but as long as he grits his teeth, he can still insist on doing things. But once it is windy and rainy, the joints of his whole body will have severe pain, and he can't move at all, and he can't exert his strength.
In this case, it is very difficult to pick up a knife, let alone slaughter pigs and sheep, and when pigs and sheep are slaughtered, they will not stupidly stay in place and wait for you to slaughter. They will desperately resist and attack the butcher who wants to slaughter them.
Therefore, whenever it is windy and rainy, Zhang Jin's butcher shop usually closes.
In order to treat the disease, Zhang Jin did not seek a doctor, but it was useless, and the prescription prescribed by the doctor had no effect at all, but the more he ate, the more serious it became.
Now he is also resigned to his fate, and only hopes to make more money while he can still work, and then find a good home for his daughter.
……
At this time, it has only been long since the opening of the market, and the market has not officially begun, and some villages that are a little farther away from Hongyang County can only arrive in Hongyang County at about ten o'clock in the morning.
At that time, the market is at its most lively, and people from each village will sell their own souvenirs and exchange them for the daily necessities they need.
At noon, the number of people on the streets began to slowly decrease, and it was not until Shenshi (three o'clock in the afternoon) that the market was almost over, and the people of the villages began to leave Hongyang County one after another, and they had to rush back to their respective villages before dark.
However, Zhang Jin's butcher shop, when rushing to the market, is generally only open until noon (one o'clock in the afternoon), and the meat is sold out.
Considering that it was still early, after agreeing with Zhang Jin and others to come back at noon, Zhang Guangyi wandered around this different street again.
At the beginning, in order to find work, I didn't carefully observe this ancient market, and the last time I just went to the street, I met the snitch, and I didn't finish reading the whole street, and now the work has been found, and today is still the time to catch the market, so I naturally want to relax and relieve the uneasy mood during this time.
Although there is no money in his hand, this does not affect Zhang Guangyi's mind of shopping, no money, isn't it still possible to watch, along the way, all kinds of 'novel' things really surprised him to see. In particular, he was amazed to see boxers made of silk in a cloth shop.
'There are panties in this era!' ’
Modern people who have traveled to ancient times actually have a lot of unaccustomed points, and the inconvenience of language expression is only a small point. People who are used to wearing underwear, in this era without underwear, can be said to be very unaccustomed, without underwear, it always makes Zhang Guangyi have a feeling of cold and fluttering in the lower body, when walking, I feel particularly twisted, and now that it has been a long time, it is better.
The most unacceptable thing is the problem of shit, although the development of paper in this era is not bad, and the price is not particularly high, but it is not something that ordinary people can buy to wipe their buttocks.
After ordinary people here, they all use a small piece of bamboo to clean up, and the taste can only be experienced by themselves, Zhang Guangyi almost exploded.
Suddenly, an inexplicable gust of wind blew, making Zhang Guangyi's lower body cold again. Shiddered, glanced at the silk panties again, sighed, and continued to walk forward.
When life is better, you must buy a few pairs of underwear, this cool feeling is really unpleasant! ’
Seeing a lot of novelties along the way, Zhang Guangyi felt like buying one to take a look, but unfortunately Langzhong was ashamed, he didn't have a copper plate on his body, so he could only watch with his eyes.
Unconsciously, Zhang Guangyi was strolling around and came to the door of Yang Kee's grocery store.
The Yang Kee grocery store still looks like it used to be, with an old plaque hanging in the middle and two or three pedestrians at the door picking up goods.
Wang Xiaobao, the former shopkeeper and now the grocery store manager, was a little tired and was talking to the person who selected the goods.
It seems that it has not been affected by the last accident, and everything is business as usual.
Looking at Wang Xiaobao intact, Zhang Guangyi stood on the street with some emotion in his heart.
Although I didn't take the task to save you, I changed your fate. ’
What used to be a dangerous task can be so simple. ’
Wang Xiao'er, who was selling goods, suddenly felt a jump in his heart, as if someone was watching him, and subconsciously looked into the street and saw Zhang Guangyi who was looking at him.
Finding that the other party was looking over, Zhang Guangyi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, retracted his gaze, and watched the goods between the stalls on the street as if nothing happened.
'This man?! ’
Looking at Zhang Guangyi walking around the small stall, Wang Xiaobao had a very strange feeling in his heart.
'How does it feel!' It's important to me?! , but I don't know him?! ’
Wang Xiaobao stared at Zhang Guangyi, and one shot after another flashed in his mind, but he didn't find a figure similar to Zhang Guangyi.
'What's going on?' Who the hell is this man?! ’
A green light that was invisible to others shrouded the top of Wang Xiaobao's head, and soon turned into a small green disc, flying towards Zhang Guangyi, landing on his right arm, and in the blink of an eye, it merged into his right arm.
No one found out about all this happening, including Zhang Guangyi himself.
When the green disc was attached to his arm, he only felt a sudden coolness on his arm, and subconsciously looked at his right arm, but did not find anything abnormal, only thought that he was in a trance.
"Xiaobao!"
Wang Xiaobao, who was looking at Zhang Guangyi, was pulled back to his senses by a shout, and hurriedly looked at the guest in front of him.
"Ah, what's wrong?"
A woman who picked up the goods pointed to a piece of goods and said impatiently: "I said Xiaobao, you still don't sell anything, I asked you three times, what are you thinking?" ”
"Ah, nothing."
Wang Xiaobao shook his head, glanced at the goods, and instantly became energetic, "This thing costs two pennies a piece, sister-in-law, let me tell you, this thing ......." ”
"Stop! Bring me two. ”
Before Wang Xiaoer could finish speaking, the buyer directly interrupted him and took out four copper plates and put them on the counter.
Wang Xiaoer, who had completed a transaction, looked at the street again and did not find Zhang Guangyi.
'Who the hell are you?' What does it have to do with me? ’
