In the afternoon, at the beginning of the week, they talked to Xiaohua about entering the city in Feifeng Feilongpo.

Zhang Xiaodao suddenly said: In a few days, he will also go to the city with his mother.

It turned out that Chunniang was also afraid of the heavy snow closing the mountain, so she thought that she would bring the mountain goods accumulated at home to the city and sell them, so as to buy some New Year's goods for the New Year.

However, it is always inconvenient for women to show their heads, and bringing their sons at least shows that there are still men in the family and will not be bullied.

Zhou Chuchu disagrees with this, he never thinks that this world is for men, and it is precisely because of these differences in cognition that he is emotionally isolated from this world, and in the eyes of others, he is arrogant, lonely and indifferent, perhaps only with his friends can he show some true temperament.

Yueyue said: "I also want to go into the city, and my mother will buy me delicious food." ”

Xiaohua was a little envious, after she was ten years old, her father never took her into the city.

A few days later, before dawn, the donkey carts were piled with firewood at the beginning of the week, ready to enter the city.

Dad explained the address, and also explained that he wanted to buy those New Year's goods, salt is the most important, and he also had to buy some sorghum, and if he was rewarded, he could buy some wine and meat...... In the end, I told him that if he wanted to buy something for himself, he would buy it.

Before Zhou Zhizhi left, he brought the dagger with him, which was the dagger picked up from Wei Dong in the ancient monuments, with a blade three inches long, a blade on one side and a serrated tooth on the other, and a steel cable hidden in the handle.

He had used this dagger to fight with the monster Xiao Wu before, without any damage, it can be seen that the material is quite good, after bringing out the monuments, he threw it in the house casually, and today he entered the city with him for self-defense.

At the entrance of the village, Zhou Zhizhi met Zhang Xiaodao's family, Chun Niang was dressed in a strong suit, with an iron knife pinned to her waist, and a steel fork in her hand, she was completely dressed as a hunter, she drove an ox cart, the car was full of medicinal herbs and furs, and Yueyue was also sitting on it.

Seeing Zhou Chuchu, Chunniang greeted him.

"How about you, your father?"

"My dad is not in good health, I'll just go. ”

"Let's be together, then. ”

"Thank you, auntie. ”

Chun Niang nodded, the years were carved on her face, she looked in her fifties, but she was actually only in her thirties. She had wounds on her hands and face, presumably from hunting, but she didn't care, as long as she raised her children, it was all worth it.

Zhang Xiaodao is like his mother, with a thin face, thin eyebrows, looking both handsome and wild in the mountains, he is a very handsome boy, but at this moment he is listless behind his mother, and his eyes are a little dodgy when he sees Zhou Chuchu.

The two families set out for the city together.

"What's wrong with you?" asked Zhang Xiaodao at the beginning of the week.

"Nothing ......"

Yueyue said in the car: "My brother wanted to take Sister Xiaohua with me, but I was scolded by my mother. ”

Although Yueyue said it quietly, everyone heard it, and Chun Niang walked in front and looked back at the little ones a few times, but did not speak.

"Did Xiaohua tell you to take her into the city?" If it wasn't for Xiaohua's initiative to ask, Zhou Zhichu couldn't figure out why Zhang Xiaodao would take Xiaohua into the city.

"No, don't ask. Zhang Xiaodao sighed and said.

"Uh...... When you come back, bring some gifts for Xiaohua. ”

After all, he was a teenager, and the energetic Zhang Xiaodao immediately perked up and said, "I'm going to buy a bracelet for Xiaohua." ”

Yueyue jumped out of the ox cart and got into the donkey cart with the help of Zhou Chuchu, so that she could get closer to her two brothers.

Sitting on the stack of wood, she said, "Brother, I want it too." ”

"Go and go, ask your little brother to buy it for you. ”

At the beginning of the week, when he saw Yueyue's big eyes, he said with a headache: "Buy it for you." ”

"The little brother is so good, the brother is bad. ”

Zhang Xiaodao ignored it disdainfully, but pulled Zhou Zhichu and took the initiative to say, "Do you know? Xiaohua was beaten by his father last night. ”

"Didn't you want me not to ask? Zhou Zhizhi smiled bitterly.

Zhang Xiaodao pretended not to hear it, and continued: "Didn't you be stopped by Xiaohua every time you delivered firewood, she said that she carried it back." ”

"You know that. ”

She didn't carry it back at all, but gave it to Tiewa and his grandmother. ”

Tiewa is one of the teenagers in the village, and she also used to read and write with Zhou Chuchu.

Zhou Chuchu didn't expect Xiaohua to do this, for some reason he was a little angry in his heart, as if he was forcing Xiaohua to marry him, which felt terrible.

"Originally, his father and mother didn't know, but he only found out when Grandma Tiewa met her father yesterday," Zhang Xiaodao continued: "Her father was mad, and when he went back, he was beaten up, and her mother didn't stop him." ”

"That's why you want to take Xiaohua into the city for a walk. ”

“...... Forget it, she'll be happy to buy a bracelet too. Zhang Xiaodao sighed.

Zhou Zhichu and Chunniang's family did not leave the village before dawn, but it was close to noon when they arrived in Qishan City.

The guards at the city gate inspected Zhou Zhichu and Chun Niang's car, charged each person a copper plate to enter the city, and one of the captains also picked and ripped off a piece of fur from Chun Niang's car.

Chun Niang had long been used to it, and she didn't stop it at all, only Zhang Xiaodao was a little indignant, but she didn't dare to make any strange moves under Chun Niang's eyes.

"Hurry up, don't stop the people behind. ”

At the shouting of the guards at the city gates, several people entered the city.

Zhang Xiaodao spat on the ground, "Bah, these guards know how to bully the mountain people, sooner or later I will become a general and beat these bastards to death." ”

"Shut up!" Chun Niang grabbed her son and looked at the city gate carefully, "Is the general a poor boy of yours!"

"I'm sure I'll be a general. ”

Chunniang ignored her son and asked Zhou Chuchu: "Let's go to Nanfang Market, where are you going?"

At the beginning of the week, she told her that she was going to the city guard mansion to deliver firewood, and Chun Niang asked him to meet at the Nanfang Market after finishing his work, buy New Year's goods by the way, and then go back to the village together.

After making an appointment, one of them went south and the other went east.

The city guard mansion is in the east, there is the inner city, and most of the people who live in it are either rich or expensive, so the guards have more rules and are very strict, and they were not allowed to go at the beginning of the week at first, but they said that they were sending firewood to the city guard's mansion, and they only let them go after inserting the firewood stack with a spear.

Under the distrustful eyes of the guards, Zhou Zhizhi walked into the inner city, compared to the dirty and messy outer city, it looked orderly and tidy, the ladies and ladies on the street were gorgeously dressed, with a sunny smile on their faces, even the servants were neatly dressed and respectful, and the indifferent, dusty, and shabby Zhou Zhichu looked out of place in it, and passers-by looked at him with surprise, contempt, and suspicion, as if looking at a lowly bedbug.

However, Zhou Zhichu did not have an inferior underground head, but looked around with curiosity, after all, it was the first time he came to the inner city.

After asking a few shop guys, he came to the castle guard's mansion, and he felt amused in his heart when he thought of the surprised eyes of those guys just now.

"Stop, who's the stinky boy?"

As the three giants of Qishan City, the city guard is in charge of soldiers and horses, and it is not the family members who guard the gate of the mansion but the government soldiers, these government soldiers are arrogant and domineering, and when they saw Zhou Chuchu driving a donkey cart directly towards the front door of the city guard's mansion, they immediately shouted loudly.
