Chapter 17: What Are They Going to Do with My Mei'er?!

Li Bai was disappointed......

Because it's not fun in this county, it's not fun at all!

is completely different from what Li Bai expected, especially for him, an idler who basically has nothing serious to do, and at the same time does not have a few more big money in his pocket, it is indeed quite boring.

In fact, before coming, Li Bai had already prepared in his heart.

Like the kind of TV or the plot of the novel, you can meet a beautiful little lady when you go out, or the person who accidentally knocks down is a stunning little widow, obviously it can't happen, at least it's unlikely to happen to him?

Therefore, now Li Bai is full of disappointment......

Anyway, in Li Bai's opinion, in addition to the streets and square markets in this Shu County, they look a little bigger, a little more crowded, the streets are a little lively, there are all kinds of shops, and there are tall city gates and city walls, it seems to be just like that, and there is nothing remarkable, even compared to those small cities that he has lived for nearly twenty years after a thousand years, they are almost 108,000 miles worse!

So, after running to a blacksmith's shop and customizing a sword for self-defense that was not considered a violation of the rules, and getting it in his hands before curfew the next evening, he had nothing to do.

Today was the third day, and he really didn't know what to do except hang out all day and stay in that dilapidated inn full of shops.

And Li Bai doesn't like that inn at all, it's dirty, messy and poor, it's not the kind of independent and beautiful big guest room that Li Bai imagined, like those heroes in the TV!

Of course, there may be such rooms in this county, but unfortunately, he doesn't have much money in his pocket, and he really can't afford to live in that kind of good inn.

Similarly, of course, he can only glimpse a place like Qinglou from afar, and he definitely doesn't dare to go, and he also has no money to go! Besides, he also looked down on those vulgar fans who could make him lose his appetite just by dressing up, so when Third Uncle Lin and the rest of his peers went to sell things or buy necessities, he was idle for two whole days, only to feel a little more boring and empty than when he was in the village?

When he was in the village, he could still teach, practice swords, climb mountains or put up a teacher's shelf to scare those little children, and in his spare time, he could tease and tease Mei'er's sister, who looked more and more beautiful, not to mention how beautiful those little days were......

Where is it like now, in this boring county town, where do nothing all day long and wait for sleep?

But fortunately, Third Uncle Lin and they are going back soon, at most, they will stay here and go shopping for another day or two.

"It's boring......"

"Sure enough, the kind of time in TV and novels that makes a fortune by all means after crossing over is a lie, and I don't have time to practice sword teaching and be busy with my life, where is there still the leisure to do something else?"

"And it's not like it hasn't been rectified ......"

Yes, Li Bai tried to use some advanced modern knowledge to make money to a limited extent, such as the furniture and toys made by Uncle Lin, as well as the transformation of some convenient living appliances, the improvement of plowshares for ploughing, etc., but in the end they all had little effect.

Because he has no ability to keep them at all, such as the toys and novel new wooden furniture made by Uncle Lin, as long as they are seen, they will definitely be imitated in less than half a month, but before that, they can also get Li Bai a little meager income.

And like the kind of utensils or plowshares that are convenient for life, etc., they are directly learned by others, and then the water becomes something in someone else's house without splashing, and who cares that it was 'invented' by him Li Bai?

Therefore, gradually, because he had no experience, no manpower, and did not want to engage in the kind of business that was regarded as 'low', and did not want to be reduced to the point of selling words, paintings and poems, Li Bai also gave up, except for occasionally giving advice to Uncle Lin and getting some small money to make himself and his sister Mei'er have no worries about food and clothing, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the great cause of sword training, and it was a full six years in a flash.

Now, after walking out of the mountain village, he found that there were suddenly more places to use money, and after discovering the difficulty of not having enough money, he began to worry and brew again.

"Forget it...... Either way, you'll have to find a way to make more money! ”

"At least ......"

"I also have to pursue a little bit, such as building a bigger house for Mei'er to live in, and then I have to ensure that I can eat big fish and meat every day, although I don't expect to be comparable to the kind of life of the emperor, but at least it should be comparable to the ordinary landlord Lao Cai, right?"

Suddenly Li Bai, who felt that the idea he had when he was in the village was too short-sighted, and felt that he had to think about improving the quality and level of life again, so that his family would not run out of food when he went out to travel in the future, so he finally started to use his crooked brain again, and just muttered to himself while wandering around the fang market in this county seat, while meditating.

Coming from the Internet era, he has a lot of ways to make money in his head......

However, he must choose a method that can safely make a little money, preferably for a long time, and it is still the kind that is not very obsessed, not afraid of imitation or robbery, anyway, it is the kind of obscene development and muffled to make a small fortune.

"But what to do?"

"You need to think about it, and you have to be the kind of person who is not afraid of piracy...... There are no intellectual property protection laws in this world......"

Li Bai, who was wearing a Tang scarf and fluttering clothes, was thinking about it like this, while pacing towards the inn rented by himself, Uncle Lin and others.

And his image of a handsome and upright little Langjun has naturally gained the attention of many passers-by, especially the long sword pinned to his waist, which was looked at and watched by those bad people, that is, the officials in charge of investigation and arrest in the Tang Dynasty.

However, after seeing that Li Bai was a handsome young man, he still looked like a literati who was reading and the style of the sword was not violated, those who were good at observing words and emotions and were unwilling to do much did not care much.

After all, although Li Bai is not wearing the kind of rich and noble family, at least his spirit looks extraordinary, plus this blue sky and bright day, Li Bai did not draw his sword to cut people, they naturally will not cause more trouble.

'Sell steamed cakes! ’

'It's almost winter, so let's take a look at the best rabbit skins.' ’

'Dry goods, sell dry goods......

'Let's Jean! Beware of the mule cart hitting you! ’

'Needle and thread brain .....'

'Ayya! I'm going to eat that oil cake! ’

'What's so delicious about the pancakes?' Let's go home and eat dumplings? ’

'I don't ......'

'Obedient, that oil cake is not delicious!' ’

‘!! ’

'Phew! What do you guys think of the road? Beware of the horses, and you will suffer! ’

‘……’

Li Bai didn't care what others thought, he just wandered around the fang market in this county town aimlessly, and he didn't buy much, just looked at and watched the lively fang market and those bustling crowds like an open-air farmers' market to pass the time.

After all, this is the third day, and he has already bought all the things he should buy, including some gifts and small items that he thinks are good for Mei'er at home, etc., all of which he has packed in the inn, and is waiting to be brought back with the third uncle and them when the time comes.

"Huh?!"

At this time, after gradually finishing the small market, when he walked not far from the inn that was not too big in another square, Li Bai suddenly found that the guys from Third Uncle Lin no longer went to sell their furniture and furs, but followed the group of people who came with the village to gather outside the inn, as if they were arguing loudly about something, and looked anxious?

Seeing this, Li Bai, who was a little curious, hurriedly walked towards them.

"Hey!"

"Third uncle, and eighth uncle, what are you arguing about when you don't go to sell things but gather here?"

"Was you bullied?!"

Li Bai, who thought that his group had been bullied, asked in an unkind tone on the spot.

Now he is in a panic, if there are really some gangsters who are not long-eyed to cause trouble or want to collect protection money, he, Li Bai, who is at least 'fourth', has to teach the other party a hard lesson!

"Ahh

"It's a big fat, huh? Why, when did you come, and with whom, is it Grandpa Muramasa? ”

At this time, Li Bai suddenly discovered: The guy in the distance who looked anxious and had sweat and stains on his face turned out to be Lin Dapang, who was one year younger than him in the village and was also his student? Therefore, after he first said hello to the other party, he began to look around, wanting to see who the fat guy who suddenly came to the county seat was here with.

However, before Li Bai could see clearly, the fat man who lived not far from his house and was only one year younger than him grabbed a few steps and grabbed his hand.

"Great, great!"

"Teacher !!"

"I've found you, you, go back!"

"Today, tonight, the village sacrifices to the mountain god, which was originally selected by Liuya, but ...... But Sister Qingmei insisted on going up the mountain for Liuya, we couldn't persuade her, we couldn't stop it, we couldn't beat it, so please go back quickly, teacher! ”

"I've been here to report to you all the way, and if you're going back late, it may be too late!!"

Crying with a sad face, and then Lin Da Fat cried and urged Li Bai loudly in that tone that was almost about to cry out in a hurry.

“??”

"W-What do you mean?!"

What a mess of the mountain gods, what was chosen and went up the mountain, was shaken and shouted by the dead fat man in front of him, Li Bai was stunned in an instant, and he didn't know what was going on at all.

However, hearing that it seemed that the matter was related to Mei'er's girl, and that this Lin Dapang was so nervous, Li Bai, who subconsciously felt that things were not going well, slowly turned his head to look at the surrounding Lin San Uncle and the others, wanting to know what was going on from the mouths of the old people in their village.

"Ahem~!"

"What else does it mean, isn't it the mountain god in the village that is sacrificed once every eight years?"

"Eight years!"

"Every eight years, the mountain god eats a pair of boys and girls! I thought that this incident had nothing to do with Li Bai and Mei'er's girl, so I didn't say much, but what do ......you think?"

But how could you think that Li Bai and Lin Yatou have grown so big, and they are still tired of being together every day, and they are still children?

What a useless thing!

I think that at the beginning, he Lin San was not just thirteen years old and hurriedly got married, and at the age of fourteen, he had already begun to hold a baby......

However, carpenter Lin San didn't dare to say this, he just sighed and looked at Li Bai a little gloomily, he didn't know how to comfort the other party.

And in this matter, he Lin San also complained a little bit about the old man in the village!

At the beginning, Lin Dalang died to save people, leaving two orphans to be pitiful, but fortunately, Li Bai and Mei'er are still competitive, they have survived without asking for many years, and life is really not too bad, now the two of them have grown up, and there is no old man in the family, why didn't the old man who was the village Zheng go on a snack and did the two of them earlier?

Otherwise, this kind of bad thing can happen today?!

"Worship to the mountain god is usually before dusk and sunset, and people are sent to the mountain......"

"But now it's an hour, it is estimated that in less than an hour, the first street drum will sound in the county, and the sky is getting dark very quickly in this late autumn, I guess you won't be able to go back."

"Ahem......"

After saying that, Lin San, a carpenter who was annoyed and resentful, shook his head and sighed heavily, and the faces of the other people in the village next to him were not very good-looking.

“……”

After listening to Uncle Lin's explanation, and then looking at Lin Da Fat, who was still anxious, sad and sweaty and pulling his arm, Li Bai's head was covered, and he opened his mouth in disbelief, he couldn't say anything, and his eyes were a little straight.

“!!”

"Not good!!"

Finally, after roughly understanding the cause and seriousness of the matter, Li Bai, who finally came back to his senses, first exclaimed, then turned around and ran out of the city.

'Hey! Li bai? ’

'Where are you going?!' ’

'Oops! ’

'Quick! Stop him! ’

‘!! ’

'Why do you want to stop my teacher, you are not allowed to go!' ’

'Big fat baby, what are you doing?' ’

'Not allowed to go anyway!' ’

‘……’

However, when Lin San and those hunters in the back got rid of the entanglement of a certain fat-eyed fat boy and planned to chase after him, where did they still see Li Bai's figure?

"Bastard!"

"Damn it!"

Li Bai ran the crowded streets, knocking down several pedestrians and knocking over several shops along the way, and even caused two street patrol officials to shout at him to stop, but where did he have time to pay attention to them?

“!!”

"Mei'er, don't do anything stupid!!"

Call! Call!

In one breath, he rushed out of the city gate at a speed of less than three or four seconds of 100 meters, and the doorman guarding the gate was exclaimed, thinking that he had run away from a strongman and was nervously guarded, but Li Bai had already rushed to a small shop outside the city, and just stood in front of the open-air resting spot where the banner swaggering foot merchants were sitting in a group, gasping for breath.

“……”

Li Bai didn't continue to run forward, because he knew that it wouldn't work like this!

I don't know if it's a mountain road of dozens of miles or dozens of kilometers, just running with his legs is definitely not good, and it is estimated that he may not be able to rush back in time if he is tired, so he must think of other ways!

"Whew! Call! ”

Then his eyes began to wander over the goods behind the footmen and the oxen, horses, and mules beside the carts......

Cattle definitely can't do it, it's too slow!

Neither can mules and horses, that thing can't run, and as for donkeys, it probably doesn't run as fast as his legs!

“!!”

Soon, Li Bai fell in love with a tall white horse tied to a pillar alone, and he knew at a glance that it must be a rare good horse.

"Everyone!"

"Hurry up and use your horses!!"

Although Li Bai from modern society can't ride a horse, the other Li Bai in his memory has been in the Tang Dynasty for half his life, so how can it be difficult to get him for such a small thing as riding a horse? So, he rushed straight over, untied the reins, and then planned to turn over and ride away.

‘?? ’

'Stop! ’

'Where are the dogs and rats, who are you, dare to rob my Langjun's horse on the street?!' ’

'Let go!' ’

'Let it go!' Otherwise, you will be beaten half to death and then sent to the official! ’

‘!! ’

'Still want to run?' ’

'Stop him!!' ’

Seeing Li Bai's movements, of course, the group of servants who were sitting in the shop to rest their feet rushed out one after another with sticks or simply empty-handed, ready to surround Li Bai's road first, and then start fighting after snatching back the horses.

Swish!

However, without waiting for the other party to rush over, Li Bai, who was in a hurry, went directly with a sword!

Soon!

I saw that a big tree not far away was directly broken by his sword qi, and it fell down with a groan, and even almost smashed into the shed of this resting shop, which frightened the cows, horses, mules, and merchants and travelers in the distance to exclaim!

‘!! ’

'This ......'

‘?? ’

'Gollum! ’

At this moment, the group of servants who saw Li Bai take out his sword and collect it were so frightened that they froze in place on the spot, and looked at Li Bai and the big tree not far away that was cut off by his sword in a daze with incredible eyes, or swallowed saliva with difficulty, not knowing what to do next, and no longer daring to mention the matter of taking people and sending them to the official after being beaten.

"Huh!"

"It's just a horse, and since it's urgent, then this little brother is light?"

Get!

Seeing Li Bai so 'wolf annihilation', where did the middle-aged Langjun and his companions, who had just stood up and looked like a rich man's brother, dare to say half a word?

Therefore, as the person concerned, the person who was surrounded by the servants and called 'Lang Jun' didn't think about it, so he smiled wryly, and arched his hand to Li Bai, whose face was full of anxiety, from a distance, and signaled that the horse would be 'lent' to Li Bai like this.

“……”

"It happened suddenly, in order to save people, Li Bai had to make this decision, if he is destined to see you again, Li Bai will definitely return the favor to Your Excellency, and leave here!"

Now Li Bai really couldn't care too much, and he didn't even ask about how to return the horse, he jumped directly into the saddle, and then ran away with a shake of the reins and patted the horse's buttocks, and soon disappeared at the end of the road.

“……”

“……”

"Lang Jun, your beloved horse was robbed by thieves, are we going to report to the official now?"

After a long time, when the servants and the shopkeepers and the resting merchants had reacted and discussed aloud at the tree that had been cut off far away, and pointed at the group of people who had been robbed of their horses, one of the servants came up to the still somewhat stupid brocade-robed boy and asked in a whisper.

"Not necessarily!"

"The left and right are just a horse, if you can exchange that person's favor, it's worth it!"

“!!”

"Lang Jun, do you really believe the words of that thief?"

"Haha! Why don't you believe that he is really in a hurry? ”

"But ......"

"Let's go, let's go, the county seat is not far away, let's take advantage of the darkness to go to the city, it's a big deal to go to the Fang Market tomorrow to buy another one!"

'Kelang-kun! ’

"What if that person can be touched in the future, what is the use of that favor? Besides, it's too ...... to exchange a favor for a horse."

"Hah! You still don't understand...... Let's go, don't mention this again!

"Yes......"

Although he was very reluctant, the servant finally had to answer, and then glared hatefully at the place where Li Bai had disappeared, and only then did he consider himself unlucky to salute them under the gaze of the merchant travelers and shopkeepers next to him, and followed them with their sticks towards the Lang Jun who was walking in front of them on foot.
