Chapter 11 Can This Money Buy Lives?
Zhan Mo wrote a letter and went down the mountain, and went to find his mother by himself, but when he got to the bottom of the mountain, he found that there was a vast sea of people, and he didn't know where to look for it.
Zhan Mo also decided to go to Chang'an.
Along the way, Zhan Mo saw many people who went south, dressed in tatters. Zhan Mo called for a cup of tea to quench his thirst halfway, and after Zhan Mo drank the tea, he gave the store a silver ingot, and when the shopkeeper was about to speak with the silver, Zhan Mo hurriedly said, "Is it not enough?" Then he took out another ingot, "Is that enough?" ”
She went north for a silver ingot and a meal along the way, and she didn't expect the tea in this shop to be so expensive.
The shopkeeper looked at Zhan Mo again, and felt that Zhan Mo's gentle and elegant white-faced scholar felt that he was the son of a rich family, so he hurriedly said: "Childe, there are too many." ”
Zhan Mo: "Oh, just ask the road fee, I see that there are two roads ahead, I want to go to Chang'an, which one to take?" ”
Shopkeeper: "Childe, you want to go north, now the Central Plains are in turmoil, you are a young man, thin body, or don't go, it's too dangerous, I have opened a tea shop here for ten years, just this year I only saw people fleeing south, there are very few people who go north, most of the people who go north are dart bureaus and officers and soldiers, no matter how bad they are, they have to go together, a person in the north mountain, the strength is weak, either halfway was robbed, or was eaten by wild beasts, just say that the road to Chang'an has to pass through a dense forest, there are often jackals, tigers and leopards infested, A lot of people died, and it was almost dusk, and it was very dangerous. ”
After Zhan Mo expressed her gratitude, she still chose to move forward, she thought: Can the jackal, tiger and leopard still stump me? I'm from Lost Valley Villa, so I can't disgrace my father.
The shopkeeper shook his head in pity.
Zhan Mo walked for a while, entered the dense forest, the sun had set, at dusk, only heard the sound of the forest, she instantly became vigilant, her right hand was ready to draw the sword, took two steps, as if something was looking at herself, peeping at herself.
Zhan Mo turned his head suddenly, and the "eyes" hiding in the shadows also hid, and Zhan Mo thought to himself: What kind of beast is so smart? Know how to tailgating? Do you still know how to hide? It's strange that such beasts have never heard of them.
Zhan Mo took a few steps forward, and there was a sound of panting, and there were about a dozen "beasts" around, but Zhan Mo believed that it was a human being, and then, the rapid and heavy steps and the sound of breathing were getting closer and closer, and Zhan Mo had already judged that they were strong people.
Suddenly, two rough old men stood in the middle of the road, blocking the way of Zhan Mo.
"I planted this tree, I opened this road, and I want to pass by from here, leaving the road to buy money."
Zhan Mo turned around, and there were more than a dozen mountain bandits with rat heads and rat brains walking around, Zhan Mo suddenly remembered that these people were sitting in the tea shop before, drinking tea in a big bowl, and talking upside down.
Zhan Mo immediately understood what the shopkeeper meant, the beasts in the forest were terrible, and the robbers who killed people and robbed money were even more terrifying, and even understood what the shopkeeper meant by shaking his head helplessly and pitifully.
Zhan Mo broke into the rivers and lakes for the first time, and when he saw the tall and strong man, he couldn't help but take two steps back, although he was a person who practiced martial arts, but in the face of these more than ten strong men, the chance of winning was very small, and he thought: Anyway, he also brought a lot of money from the villa, so why use force to solve the problem that can be solved with money?
Zhan Mo took out a piece of silver and gave it to the robber, and the robbers made eye contact with each other after taking it, and the big man on the front of the silver said, "What? Do you want to buy your life with this money? ”
