After leaving the Fang family on this day, Mr. Ji didn't have anything too important, except to take Fang Yu from Zhongzhou City to Donglin Snow Field as soon as possible. He simply went to Zhongzhou City to go around, and it was not in vain to travel thousands of miles.

Middle-earth City is indeed a great place to be, and it's no wonder that people want to make their home here. The houses here are lined up one after another, and the eaves are connected to each other, and they are scattered. The blue tiles, the rows of brown wooden doors and walls embedded in the blackened painted columns, and the hollowed-out wooden windows, are simple and elegant. None of this can be seen in the Donglin Snow Field. In the Donglin Snow Plain, all you can see are houses built of huge stones or ice blocks, most of which are built to avoid the cold, which is far less beautiful and exquisite than the buildings in Zhongzhou City, not to mention compared with those big families.

However, Mr. Ji is free and easy, probably because he has seen it thoroughly, he just looks at it with an appreciative eye, and he has no intention of being glamorous. No matter how beautiful it is, it needs to be adapted to local conditions, and besides, the igloos and stone houses in the snow field still look very atmospheric, he thought so before. He walked leisurely, wandering gracefully, and kept looking at the architectural scenery of Zhongzhou City and Donglin Snow Plain, which had very different styles.

It was almost noon and the streets had become sparsely populated. Most of the rest were people wandering aimlessly, enjoying the comfortable wind and bright sunshine of Middle-earth, laughing and talking in the wide streets.

"It's more comfortable to breathe the air in the city!"

"That's not it! The Northern Trade Road is not so stable. ”

"On the whole, we were lucky this time, the bandits on the side road only asked for some of our possessions, and did not harm our lives. It is said that many caravans not only lost their goods but also lost their lives, and even the corpses were difficult to find in the barren mountains and wilderness! ”

Outside the teahouse at the end of the street, a few dusty men talked. Looking at their outfits, they should have just returned from running a business.

People like them who run businesses are all in the business of making the difference. Ship the specialties of one city back to another city that needs them, and then transport the specialties of that city to the next city where they are needed. However, people like them, who are just running errands, still have to hand over the goods to the merchants for sale. Even if the merchant sells at a higher price, he can get more profit. And these businessmen don't care, they will also make a lot of money from it, and everyone will make money together. Although there are more risks along the way, they are still willing to go to the porters of the goods at that time, after all, no matter what they do, they are begging for a living.

One of them took the reins of his horse and said, "I don't know when such a day will be the end, since there are more bandits, it will be more difficult for people like us to make money!" ”

"Isn't that it?" The man sat on the cargo box, took two puffs of cigarette, then knocked the pipe again, stuffed some tobacco into it again, then took out the fire fold and blew it, and then lit the tobacco in the pipe, and put the fire fold out and put it away, "How long has it been, I can't remember how long I haven't been so worried as now, every time I run the business, it's like living again, thank God for giving me another life." ”

He took a deep puff of his cigarette, and the pure white smoke swirled through his lungs and then slowly flowed out of his nasal cavity. His left hand rubbed the purple on his chest, the hideous scar extending down his neckline and down his chest and deep into his coarse cloth clothes. Everyone said that this was a proof of his running business, recording his life rain or shine with a long scar. It took him a long time to taste the cigarette, like savoring half of his life as a businessman.

The "Boss ......" The unloading man laid out a box, raised his arm and wiped the sweat from his forehead again with his sweat-soaked sleeve. The sticky coarse cloth sleeves rubbed his forehead extremely uncomfortable, like taking a bath in mud, the stickiness was disgusting, and the sand made his skin ach. "Boss, is this really our last run?"

"Yes, when it's over, I'll stop doing this business, after so many years, I still saved a little money, and I plan to do some small business to support my family and live a dull life." He took another deep puff of cigarette and said with a smile, "Anan, you should also find a daughter-in-law, you are such an adult, your wife has earned enough in the past few years, and it is time to start a family, don't work so hard, whose life is not precious?" ”

Anan didn't speak, ran to continue moving the goods, and wiped the shining sweat from the corners of his eyes.

"Everyone cheer up, this is the last part of our trip, pack up and take the brothers for a good meal!" The boss swept away the depression, stood up and shouted with a smile, "We can't go to Cuiyan Building, it's too expensive!" But the dog meat shop of the big Zhuang family on the street has enough wine and meat! ”

……

I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, I don't know which street corner a little boy ran out of the street and hit Mr. Ji head-on, Mr. Ji didn't react, but he saw that the boy was very angry, and the small rope whip in his hand whipped him hard. Mr. Ji dusted the place where the boy had been whipped with a small rope with his hand, and then looked down to see the boy who looked like he was five or six years old. For such a young child, it is impossible to distinguish the weight of the hands and feet, Mr. Ji's body may not feel any pain, but if it is an ordinary person, he will definitely clearly understand the pain. He was thinking about whose child it would be, and he had no basic manners, and he was a little annoyed, although he didn't have to worry about a child, but he still felt the need to say something.

So he squatted down and smiled at the little boy and said, "Can you tell grandpa whose child you are, do you know that you are very rude to do this, and you can't be so rude to others." ”

Looking at the smiling and kind man in front of him, the little boy suddenly rubbed his eyes and cried. Not long after, a bloated middle-aged woman ran over from a stall not far away, she hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the boy, picked up the small rope whip that fell from the boy's hand, took two steps back, and turned sideways to Mr. Ji.

"Baby, baby, what's wrong? Who bullied you, tell Grandma, Grandma will help you get angry! Good baby, good baby, don't cry, don't cry! ”

The boy still rubbed his eyes and cried, didn't speak, just pointed in the direction of Mr. Ji. Just as the boy stretched out his hand, the woman scolded Mr. Ji as if she had expected it: "You old thing, you are such a big person, to bully a five or six-year-old little hairy child?" Do you know how to write shame, huh? A lot of age has lived to dogs, old thing! ”

This woman's mouth is well-known on the street, and it is justified no matter what the situation. Occupy her strength by three points, and ignore her strength by nine points! If you have a advantage, you must take advantage of it, even if you can't take advantage of it, you have to enjoy it. She is so eloquent, in this male-biased world, her husband doesn't dare to yell at her, but seems to be obedient and strong, so everyone calls her "sister-in-law". What kind of adult can teach what kind of child. Today, this old man is unlucky, he actually touched the brow of "Sister-in-law Zhanli", and some of them suffered hardship, and the people nearby thought so.

Mr. Ji frowned, a little disgusted by such a person. After thinking about it, it is no wonder that this child has such a behavior that the parent's education affects the boy's growth. He said in a deep voice: "This eldest sister ......"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by Sister-in-law Zhan: "Eldest sister? Who's your old sister? When you're old, you actually call me eldest sister, are you getting older and more confused? Let me tell you, if you don't give me an explanation today, you won't want to leave! ”

After saying that, he shouted and shouted, attracting everyone to come and watch.

Mr. Ji was speechless, he didn't expect a neighborhood woman to be speechless, he was suddenly amused and laughed.

"What are you laughing at, you dare to laugh when you beat my baby?" Sister-in-law Zhan Li pointed at Mr. Ji's nose and said viciously.

"So how do you want to solve it?" Although he was displeased, he was not happy or angry, and his face was still gentle, but he couldn't see his thoughts.

"Whether it's public or private, you can do it." After finishing speaking, Sister-in-law Zhan Li closed her mouth and confronted Mr. Ji.

Mr. Ji thought to himself, this is not only a spicy household, but also a philistine who relies on children to play scoundrels. "So what is public and what is private?" Mr. Ji asked.

"The public is to arrest you and go to the government, whether you are justified or not, but it is always troublesome, and there are people in the family of Zhan Li's sister-in-law who are officials in the yamen, although the position is not high, but it is enough to bully some old people and outsiders, and you still have to compensate in the end if you make trouble." Someone on the side persuaded him, "I suggest that you should be private, it can be regarded as a wealth and disaster, and it will be good to see Zhan Li's sister-in-law hiding in the future." ”

Mr. Ji was a little emotional when he heard this, not all the philistines are in the land of philistines, such as the person who reminded him. Mr. Ji clenched his fists: "Thank you for the reminder." ”

Mr. Ji shook his head, and didn't want to worry about anything with the woman, so he took out two silver leaves from his arms and planned to go private. These two silver leaves can be regarded as buying something for children to eat, after all, children are innocent of anything in most people's hearts, even if they have such a reasonable mother. Thinking about it carefully, he felt that this child was a little pitiful.

He said to Zhan Li's sister-in-law: "Since this is the case, then let's be private, this can be regarded as seeing the customs of Zhongzhou City." ”

Just as he was about to hand the silver leaf to his sister-in-law in private, he was stopped......
