The two of them drove the ox cart, and the ox whipped to the county seat.

At the end of the day and the beginning of the morning, the two of them found a place where no one was there and exchanged the walnuts back.

When the two arrived at the gate of the city, they paid the entrance fee, and then led the ox cart to the market.

Luo Yun pointed to the little beggars on both sides of the street, and then pointed to the shabby and cold storefronts on both sides of the street and said, "I look here, it's better to be in our town, can these things be sold?" ”

Li Xiangdong carefully explained to her: "Our county is called Huiyuan County, this is Beichengmen Street, and the people who live here are... Poor families with no land, no land and no business. They are all hard laborers who live by hard work, and when there is no work to do in winter, they can only go without three meals, no food and clothing, and endure cold and hunger. Every year, many people who freeze to death and starve to death go out from the North City Gate. ”

Luo Yun was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he really couldn't understand it.

In the last days, there are only those who die in battle, not starvation.

Li Xiangdong looked at Luo Yun's surprised expression, and only shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then said, "I'll settle an account for you." The strong laborers here do a day's work, which is 20 yuan, and all these 20 yuan are used to buy grain, and we can buy more than two catties of coarse grain for our family. Buy those old rice, moldy grain, you can buy more than five catties. Let's count it according to a small family, a strong laborer, a daughter-in-law, two babies, plus two old people, six people drink thin every day, and they also need three catties of grain, and the remaining two catties can be kept for winter. This is not enough, there are also some essential expenses in daily life, such as the salt that you usually eat, and you have to be sick when you are sick

There are also some essential expenses that are usually necessary. For example, the salt you usually eat, and the doctor you need to see when you are sick. There is also a tax to be paid to the government. Besides, it's not that you want to carry work every day, so there is work for you to carry every day. Therefore, the women here usually go to the homes of wealthy families to help. The old man and the children went to the streets to beg. In order to save some food rations to survive the winter. ”

Luo Yun frowned and asked, "Isn't there an official mansion here?" Does the government care? Besides, life has been like this, what taxes do you have to pay? ”

"It's going to be handed over, let's go back and talk about it." Li Xiangdong looked around and said in a low voice.

Luo Yun's brows furrowed even tighter.

I worked tirelessly, but I couldn't eat enough. Freezing to death and starving to death, no one cares. That's it, you still have to pay taxes. Speech is not yet free.

It's the wrong way to get up on your own. Or is the world not as beautiful as I imagined.

Li Xiangdong held the cow with one hand, rubbed Luo Yun's head with the other and said, "Don't think about it, the government won't care about these things." We can't control it, it's all our own lives. ”

Luo Yun: "I didn't want to care, I just looked at those children pitiful." ”

Li Xiangdong said: "If you can't stand it, take a basket of chestnuts and divide them." ”

Luo Yun's eyes lit up and darkened, and said, "Forget it, forget it, even if one person gives them a basket, it won't do much." After a pause, he said, "Someone has come and asked me to give it again." ”

Li Xiangdong smiled and said, "You, you are hard-mouthed and soft-hearted. ”

Luo Yun just laughed.

As soon as the words fell, two girls came running hand in hand. He also shouted: "Kind uncle and aunt, give me something to eat." ”

It's a pity that the little short legs can't catch up with Luo Yun and their footsteps at all.

Luo Yun put his hand under the straw mat, and when he took it out, he had an extra basket full of chestnuts in his hand.

Li Xiangdong looked at her playfully.

Luo Yun glared at him and said, "You lead the ox cart and go first, and I'll chase you later." Don't waste our own time. ”

Li Xiangdong said, "Okay." You follow the street and turn the next corner...... Forget it, forget it, you hurry up and catch up, if you can't catch up, you can find a little beggar to lead the way, and go to the West Street Market. Just give him more to eat when the time comes. ”

Luo Yun laughed and said, "I can still get lost, don't worry, I'm fast, I will definitely be able to catch up with you." ”

Li Xiangdong shook his head helplessly and led the ox cart away.

Luo Yun looked at the two small bean sprouts in front of him, the big one was a little taller than the grain, and the smaller one was estimated to be only two or three years old, and he was still unsteady when he walked, and he hadn't wrestled when he was pulled to run.

Auntie, we've also practiced...

Luo Yun nodded the back basket with his chin and said, "Load it for you, you can put it as much as you can." ”

The little girl's big eyes instantly lit up and frightened, and she said again and again: "Thank you, Auntie, thank you, Auntie." I want to fill a bowl. ”

As he spoke, he handed over a broken bowl that he was holding.

Luo Yun looked at the black and thin paw in front of him. He sighed inwardly and said, "Take off your cloak and wrap it." ”

The little girl shook her head violently and said, "Auntie, no, I only wore one." ”

Another little bit said, "Sister, I'm not afraid of the cold, I'm hungry." After saying that, he stuffed his fingers into his mouth and sucked hard.

In a while, seven or eight little beggars came around.

Luo Yun looked at these thin little beggars who could be blown down by a gust of wind.

The heart is slightly astringent, this world is so beautiful.

There are all that should be there, and there are all that shouldn't be, but why do you let the little cub live like this?

Luo Yun sighed, took the little girl's bowl and said, "You can also take off your clothes and wrap them, start from a young age and come one by one, and if you don't get it, follow me to the West Street Market to get it." After thinking about it, he said one more sentence: "I got it, hurry home and put on my clothes." Don't freeze, you still have to see a doctor and take medicine. ”

When Luo Yun was almost divided, a few little beggars came one after another.

Luo Yun looked at these little beggars and said, "I don't have anything now." I'm going to the West Main Street Market, and if you want it, come with me. ”

After saying that, we left with an empty basket.

When Luo Yun caught up with Li Xiangdong, Li Xiangdong was leading the ox cart and walking on West Street, which is also called Xiyi Road.

Xiyi Road is lined with shops, and small buildings with two or three floors abound, all with wide open doors, and you can see it when you stand outside, and it is very lively inside.

The pedestrians on the road were all servants and women, and they were well-dressed.

This north and west are worlds apart, no one thinks it's inappropriate, everything is so taken for granted, and it is justified.

The treatment of the strong and the spicy chicken is very different, and Luo Yun has a deep experience.

The base where Luo Yun was born can be said to be one of the most powerful in the last days.

The base boss will provide jobs for the spicy chickens to ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing. Although the clothes are animal skins and the food is the nutrient solution, at least there is no need to participate in the battle, and there is no danger to life. And the people at the North Gate are not as good as the village chief's cattle and their chickens.

This morning, she also saw the village chief carrying two bundles of dried straw, scooping two bamboo tubes of soybeans for the cows to eat, and feeding the chickens three times a day.

Luo Yun complained: It's really better than animals...

It's really a fucking world......

When Luo Yun saw Li Xiangdong, he quickened his pace, and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Li Xiangdong smiled and asked, "So fast, it's finished?" ”

Luo Yun nodded and said to him, "I want to smuggle another bag of chestnuts and put it on the ox cart." ”

Li Xiangdong was taken aback, reacted and immediately said, "No, such a big bag will be a goof." You can't expose yourself for the sake of others and cause trouble for yourself. ”

Luo Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry, you can't find it." I loosened the rope, moved the prey up, and put the chestnut in the back of the car, and I would definitely not find it. ”

After thinking about it, he rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't we just lift the straw mat and let them all see our prey, and if they want to buy it, they will naturally come to us to buy it." If there are many people who buy it, we will get the one with the highest price, do you think it will work? ”

Li Xiangdong hesitated and said: "I haven't sold wild things like this, so I don't know if it will work." ”

"Wild boars and wolves are definitely not good, and big tigers are also rare, so they should be okay. Try it and maybe sell it for a few more bucks. ”

"Then let's try it, I don't know if it will scare those nobles if you lift the straw mat here, if you collide with them, it will be troublesome."

"What are you afraid of, let's walk, the straw mat is not tied properly, and you can blame us if you accidentally slip down." After speaking, he winked at Li Xiangdong.

An expression of I'm innocent, I don't know anything...

Li Xiangdong smiled: "Okay, listen to you, that's it." ”

Li Xiangdong slapped the cow a few times, the old cow sped up, Luo Yun lucked the wind, the straw rope made a hissing sound, the straw mat was also gently supported and slid down, and the pedestrians on the side of the road let out exclamations and avoided one after another.

Luo Yun put on a smile and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I surprised everyone!" These are dead things, and they are all dead and transparent. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. ”

It is said that reaching out and not hitting smiling people, not to mention that the little lady with such a sign apologized to everyone.

Everyone was surprised and curious.

Someone asked, "You hunted this big tiger?" ”

Li Xiangdong took the opportunity to stop the ox cart and said: "Yes, it was hunted by our husband and wife, and it was just hunted last night, and it is still very fresh." As he spoke, he pushed the big tiger to the side, revealing the wild boar and the wolf, and said, "These are all hunted last night, everyone see, they are all very fresh, and our husband and wife have traveled at night and sent them to the city to sell." If you want to buy something, you can go to the West Street Market to buy it. ”

After the advertisement, Li Xiangdong was about to leave with the ox cart.

At this time, diagonally opposite the Baixiang Restaurant, someone shouted at the window of the private room on the second floor: "Hey! Wait a minute, say you!"

Li Xiangdong looked up and saw a man in a blue robe with black hair and a golden crown standing by the window, holding a folding fan in his hand, pointing in his direction. Li Xiangdong bent his arm and pointed at himself with his index finger.

The man said, "Yes, it's you, you wait a minute, let me see the big tiger you hunted." ”

Li Xiangdong stopped moving, and the husband and wife looked at each other and 'came'.

After a while, I saw a young man in a brocade dress and a graceful demeanor approaching.

However, we must ignore the folding fan he shakes in the cold first, except for the small eyes that can focus on the light, this person's appearance is the villain in the TV series, the kind that will receive a lunch box when he appears in two episodes.

Li Xiangdong stepped forward and saluted: "You can look at this son casually." ”

The young man didn't touch it, but just looked at it carefully and said, "You big tiger want to sell?" ”

"Yes."

"What do you cost?"

Li Xiangdong looked up at Luo Yun, and Luo Yun nodded.
