Chapter 5: Ancient Market Towns
"Da Da Da!"
After a while, a heavy sound of cow's hooves sounded from far and near.
Rong Ruo was overjoyed and came.
Because it has already been calculated, Rong Ruo has already investigated, there is a family in Li Zhai, who is a carpenter, and will go to the market town on the twelfth day of each month to deliver goods, so this is also the reason why Rong Ruo did not hesitate to take a long detour to come here.
"Big brother, I'm going to deliver again!"
When the ox cart got closer, Rong Ruo shouted to the man driving.
"Phew!"
The man in the car stopped when he saw someone talking.
"Little brother, which village are you from?"
The oxcart man looked at Rong Ruo's face and asked.
"Big brother, I'm from Zhangzhuang, I'm going to visit relatives in the market town, can you give me a ride, I can't walk on my legs!"
Rong Ruo's bitter request haha!
"Come on!"
The man in the ox cart waved his hand happily, and when Rong Ruo got into the car, he waved his whip and continued to hurry.
"Thank you, big brother!"
Rong Ruo smiled heartily, stretched his arms, and got into the car.
Along the way, Rong Ruo directly explained that this was the first time he went to the market town, and hoped that the big brother of the ox cart would tell him about the situation in the market town.
The oxcart man was not stingy, and directly told Rong Ruo what he had seen and heard.
The two of them, accompanied by each other, talked and laughed all the way and finally arrived in the market town.
Rong Ruo listened to the explanation of the ox cart man all the way, and sketched the "prosperity" scene in the market town in his mind all the way.
"Little brother, turn left at the intersection in front of you is the market in the market town, you can find your relatives by asking, but I don't go from that side, when you look back, do you want to make an appointment and I'll wait for you here!"
"Thank you, big brother, you can go home when you're done, you don't have to wait for me!"
The ancients were still honest and tight.
Rong Ruo glanced around, which was no different from Linjia Village, and jumped out of the car with a smile.
Wrapping the package on his shoulder, Rong Ruo looked bitterly at the market town in front of him, which was praised as "prosperous" by the big ox cart brother, and grinned silently.
"Turn left ahead and you'll see the market in the market town......"
Recalling the words of the big brother of the ox cart in his mind, Rong Ruo walked forward with anticipation, maybe the market is really "bustling"!
"Steamed buns, hot steamed buns just out of the pot......"
"Eight Treasure Porridge, Sweet and Delicious Eight Treasure Porridge ......"
Rong Ruo came to the intersection where the ox cart man said, and before he saw the scene, he heard a burst of shouting.
Listening to the sound is still quite lively, Rong Ruo thought so, and turned the intersection.
This......
The scene in front of him made Rong Ruo's smile that he hadn't had time to bloom stuck on his face like that.
The so-called bazaar in front of her was a dirt road that was slightly wider than the one she had just walked, probably because there were more people walking, and the road was not like ordinary dirt roads, and shoes would bring up fine dust when they walked through.
On both sides of the road, there are two rows of mud and stone houses, and the vendors selling things are simple shops with sparse straw huts in front of the houses......
And the pedestrians are only a few more than under the big poplar tree at the head of their village, and there are only a few people who have nothing to gossip about.
Is this also called a bazaar?
Rong Ruo looked up to the sky and sighed, which immortal did she offend to throw her into this backward world?
She thought that in a small village like Linjia Village, the girl of the village chief's family could still have a maid to wait, and other families, although they did not have the same treatment, but they also had a full meal and a rich life, which shows that this era is not so backward, although it is not as prosperous as it is on TV, at least it will not be bad, but now, who can explain to her, why is this so-called bazaar so desolate?
In this previous life, the most backward villages and towns she had been to were also more prosperous than this.
After lamenting, Rong Ruo touched his empty stomach and walked towards the bun shop in front.
After holding two hot freshly baked buns, Rong Ruo followed the example of everyone else, and found a stone staircase to sit and eat.
No, you can see the market town at the end at a glance, how can you hide people, and besides, this is so close to Linjia Village, maybe she will be arrested in a while, and she will be forced to get married, so she better leave quickly.
"Uncle, inquire, are there any carriages and horses here that go to Shanglong Town?" Rong Ruo only knew that the nearest big town to them was Shanglong Town, but he didn't know the specific distance and location, so he could only hope that there would be a special chariot-drawn people.
"This, you go to Jitou to have a look, there are special carriages and horses over there, but, at this point, I don't know if people will go or not!"
The owner of the bun shop pointed in one direction.
Nowadays, the means of transportation are the most primitive oxen and horse-drawn carts, and they need to rest if they are not fast, so they are naturally not always available.
Rong Ruo thanked him, and hurriedly ran over there, no way, who let her come to this backward ancient world!
found the location pointed out by the old man, Rong Ruo asked for a long time and did not have a special car to pull people, and finally took a hitchhiker to the town to deliver vegetables.
After more than four hours of staring at the green insects on the greens, Rong Ruo finally entered the legendary town.
Fortunately, this town is much more prosperous than the market town just now, Rong Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, was in a good mood, and everything was pleasing to the eye, Rong Ruo happily waved goodbye to the insects who had been with her for more than four hours, and the noisy uncle looked at Rong Ruo waving goodbye to a pile of vegetables, and shook his head regretfully.
Rong Ruo didn't know what his uncle thought, so after saying goodbye, he swaggered around the town first.
Yes, although the town is not big, there are all kinds of shops in the restaurant inn, and there is a green building called Ziyifang.
Staying in an inn that looked fairly clean, Rongruo waited anxiously for dark.
Why?
Because it's dark to visit the green building!
Everything else is easy to say, only this ancient Qinglou, Rong Ruo really hasn't seen it.
Actually, in such a hurry to visit the Qinglou, Rong Ruo has another purpose.
Qinglou was a good place to collect information in ancient times, think about it, how many poor people could afford to visit this place?
Anyone who often comes in and out of this place is either rich or powerful, and such a good intelligence system is very important in this feudal dynasty where human life is cheaper than grass.
Linjia Village.
"Dad, people are no longer in the village!"
Since reading the letter that Lin Lingyue left to run away from home, Lin Lingze immediately went through the entire village, but unfortunately, he was still a step late and did not find anyone.
This sister is really getting more and more bold, she is a girl, and she dares to go out alone, which makes him, the brother who has only been to the town at the farthest, or has a father with him, how to deal with himself?
Thinking of his sister after being "all", and thinking about himself again, Lin Lingze was a little depressed, his elder brother was less and less of his brother's prestige.
Lin Shouye glanced at the letter in his hand again, and his face couldn't express his joy or anger.
"When he becomes nirvana, everything will be decided!" Thinking of the two sentences of the immortal master's criticism, Lin Shouye looked into the distance with blazing eyes, could it be that Yue'er's life criticism didn't just refer to that rebirth?
It's just that the outside is not so simple and easy to mix in their Lin family village......
Although he didn't know why his daughter suddenly became normal after that fire, and even more elf than ordinary people, but with the immortal master's comments in front of him and his own daughter, Lin Shouye never felt that there was anything wrong with his daughter.
Whether it is learning boxing and foot kung fu with herself, or doing some strange things, even if she is bold enough to go out alone at the moment, even if this is a feudal society now, Lin Shouye does not feel that there is anything ridiculous.
It's as if all this happened to her daughter is normal.
