Volume 1 Lonely Closed Beta Chapter 7 Notice in the West of the City
Nothing was said all night.
On the second day, when Lin Feng woke up, he was already Hitachi. After a while, he called Zhang Meng and Lin Qing to give him what he had just written, and told them to go to the county seat to buy it according to what was written above.
The two of them took the paper and saw that the words on it were as thin as soybeans, and most of them lacked this and that, but the words were beautiful, and they didn't know what to write them with. However, it is not difficult for these two people, and they can recognize nine times out of ten by guessing.
But some of the strange things listed in the content have never even heard of them, such as rules, curved rulers, ink ingots the size of hairpins, dozens of pieces of paper the size of a table, and a dozen pieces of sheepskin that have been dried and softened. Pieces of iron that are slightly thicker than paper are half the size of a table....
Looking at the things on this list, both of them had big heads. Where to buy it, but the two of them have already boasted about Haikou, if they can't do it, it won't be a big shame.
After the two discussed, they decided to go to Lin Zhen first, his knowledge was very profound in the Lin family.
"Second brother..., second brother is there?"
As soon as the two of them arrived at Lin Zhen's small courtyard and had not yet entered the round arch, Zhang Meng shouted loudly. The noise like a grand bell made Lin Qingzhi frown.
At this time, Lin Zhenzheng opened the bow and set up the arrow, stared at the arrow target next to the arch of several zhang Kai with bated breath, was shocked by Zhang Meng's shouting, and was immediately distracted.
I saw that the two people who had just appeared at the door suddenly rolled away on both sides of the arch, and the arrow passed between the two in an instant, and stuck in a tree outside the door.
Seeing this, Lin Zhen was shocked on the spot.
The person who is good at the long bow and arrow has very good eyesight, and the two people who dodged just now were naturally recognized by him, but fortunately he didn't hurt them, Rao is so, Lin Zhen was also afraid for a while.
"Young boy, are you okay?" Zhang Meng got up, patted the dust on his body and walked towards Lin Qing.
"It's fine."
Lin Linqing also stood up, tore off a weed inserted in his hair, and said casually: "It's all your fault for yelling, making the second uncle angry!" Hahaha..."
"Brother Meng, Qing'er, are you hurt?" Lin Zhen, who had come to his senses, quickly ran to the two of them and asked eagerly.
"Second brother, we're fine! Hey, hey..."Zhang Meng smiled.
"Second uncle, in the past, the pirates didn't shoot one or two arrows, and we could all dodge them, how could we not dodge your unintentional arrows?" Lin Qing said lightly.
"You two, hey... Never mind! Lin Zhen handed the bow in his hand to Lin Qing and asked, "What's the matter with looking for me?" ”
Lin Qing took the bow with his left hand, took out the list Lin Feng gave them from his arms with his right hand and said, "Uncle, look at this." Then handed it to Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen took the list and looked at it carefully. The expressions on the faces are very varied.
Sometimes his brows are furrowed, as if he is puzzled, sometimes his eyes are slightly closed as if he is contemplative, and sometimes his mouth is half open as if he is surprised. The two people next to him were secretly amused.
"It's... Who wrote this? ”
After watching it for a while, Lin Zhen asked.
"Who else, our eldest son Lin! Hey. Isn't the second brother a headache? Zhang Meng laughed happily when he saw Lin Zhen like that.
"The words are strong and powerful, but how do you lose them??" Lin Zhen said with a frown.
"But isn't it, it took a lot of effort for the two of us to understand the meaning of the above, but we didn't recognize the things we wanted above, and we didn't know where to find them, so we came to ask my uncle for advice." Lin Qing said very sincerely.
"Hey, that's fine! However, I was very surprised by Feng'er's growth after this catastrophe. The above list is not very unusual, but we rarely use it. After that, Lin Zhen took the two of them to sit down on the stone table in the courtyard and explained the things on the list to them.
After about half a cup of tea, Zhang Menghaha laughed: "I know Lao Zhang, brother, it's not too early at this time, let's set off." ”
After saying that, he got up and was about to leave, looking very happy and a little impatient.
"Third brother is slow, my brother has something to explain," Lin Zhen called Zhang Meng, "This time I entered the city to do the important things entrusted by Feng'er, don't make a mistake because of others!" ”
"Hey, I know," Zhang Meng replied impatiently.
Lin Zhen stared at Zhang Meng and said, "Especially you, Brother Meng, you can't drink!" ”
"Brother, don't worry, I definitely won't. Even if I pass by the door of the wine store, I Lao Zhang will not take a look. Zhang Meng patted his chest and promised.
"A liquor store? You come here."
"What's the matter, what else does my brother have to explain to me alone?" Zhang Meng said as he approached Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen's hand suddenly stretched out to Zhang Meng's waist, and before Zhang Meng could react, his money bag was in Lin Zhen's hand.
"Second brother, what are you doing?" Zhang Meng said puzzled.
"Without this, your guarantee can be trusted. Qing'er, you pay for what your Uncle Meng wants to buy, and come back to me to get it. But except for wine, can you remember? After Lin Zhen finished speaking, he gave Lin Qing some silver taels.
"The child is commanded!" Lin Qing said very solemnly.
"Is there a brother you do this?" Zhang Meng glanced at Lin Zhen, turned around and left, and the joy just now could no longer be seen.
The two couldn't help but laugh when they saw this.
After laughing a few times, Lin Zhen patted Lin Qing on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you guys go and come back quickly, remember to bring a few more guys." I'll take a look at what our eldest son Lin is up to. ”
Liekou County is located not far from the south bank of the mouth of the sea in the water of the river, and the town where the Lin family is located is located in the northwest direction of Liekou, which is an important wharf in the county, so the road to the county seat is in good condition, Zhang Meng and others arrived in front of the West City Gate in less than half an hour.
At this time, it was past noon, and it was the beginning of the western sun, and the western city wall was under the scorching sun, and the heat emitted twisted the distant scenery into a crooked one. The word "Liekou" flashes with golden light, which is very eye-catching.
"Haha... Look at this city wall is in tatters, cracked and exposed, these dog officials don't repair it, I think it won't be long before there will be a veritable crack in this column! But those two words cost a lot of money, and you will definitely be able to exchange it for a lot of wine money when you fold it down. Zhang Meng walked two or three feet away from the city gate, looked at the wall and said.
"Uncle, just keep quiet. That's what the Wang family put up. Who in Liekou County doesn't know that the west is the gate of the Wang family! We can't cause unnecessary trouble to our Lin family! Lin Qing walked up to Zhang Meng and said softly.
"The Wang family? I'm not afraid of this white-eyed wolf? After Zhang Meng finished speaking, he walked towards the city gate.
Zhang Meng is known for his fierce temperament, which frightened Lin Qing and quickly grabbed Zhang Meng.
"Haha, look scares you. See, that group of people seems to be looking at something, let's go and see Gu too. Zhang Meng pointed to a group of people on the right side of the city gate.
When the two of them approached, because the onlookers blocked their view, Lin Qing squeezed in, only to see a notice from the government posted on the wall.
"These villains are so rampant, they actually disregard people's lives and rob people's money in broad daylight. Don't let me encounter it, or I'll cramp and skin it! After reading the notice, Lin Qing gritted his teeth and said to himself, it is not difficult to see that he is also a jealous and hateful person.
As soon as Lin Qing spoke, the people around him also began to discuss.
"Yes, yes, more than a dozen lives! I heard that each of the dead had one ear cut off. It's cruel! ”
When an old woman spoke of her ears, she unconsciously touched her withered ears with a little fear.
"Yes, my child is on an errand in the government, and he came home last night to talk about it, which scared our whole family a lot!"
It was an old man who spoke, and when everyone heard that his son was an official messenger, they thought that the old man should know more about the matter, so they all gathered around him.
That gang of robbers really wasn't human. According to the head of my son, from the perspective of his clothes, all the people killed at the scene were some family members, and their masters were not found, and they may have been kidnapped by the gang. It seems that those gangsters still want to exchange them for money as meat tickets! ”
"Old Li, be quiet, there are no spies of that dead man here." The old woman who had just spoken pulled the old man Li and whispered to him.
After listening to the old woman's reminder, Old Man Li was terrified, turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
"Qing'er, what's the matter?" At this time, Zhang Meng also squeezed in.
"The bandits are committing murder again, and the government has issued a warning list!" Lin Qing replied.
"Damn, the world is really getting more and more chaotic!" After listening to Lin Qing's words, Zhang Meng also glanced at the notice, and said angrily, "What is the use of these bird officials not going to arrest the robbers, but only issuing a warning?" ”
After that, Zhang Meng was about to tear up the notice, but fortunately Lin Qing stopped it in time. Everyone was also dissuaded, and Zhang Meng stopped.
"Uncle, we can't take care of these officials, but if we encounter those bandits, we won't let them go!"
After Lin Qing finished speaking, he pulled Zhang Meng out of the crowd and entered the city with all the guys. They didn't know that someone was already eyeing them.
••••••
Lin Zhen sent Zhang Meng and the others away, and after taking a break in the courtyard, he went to find Lin Feng.
As soon as Lin Zhen entered the door, he saw more than a dozen pieces of paper scattered on the ground, and his face became ugly. Although Caihou paper came out as early as 70 years ago, due to the limitations of production level and technology, by the end of the Han Dynasty, where Lin Zhen lived, paper was still very valuable.
In addition, the ancients had to wipe their hands clean before reading and writing to show respect for books. And now that Lin Feng is so bad at the paper, can he not be angry?
Lin Zhen picked up the papers one by one, and was about to say something to Lin Feng, but saw that Zhengyang drew two concentric circles, marked with the word "Lelang", and there was a small circle at the bottom left of this circle, and the word "Liekou" was clearly visible.
A line curves from the top right to the bottom left, from small to large, like a river, connecting the two places. Further down is the band square of the mark, the small dot of Nanxin.
At the bottom are three small areas marked with Mahan, Band Han, and Jin Han. On both sides of the paper, there are some small stripes that look like waves, and it is not difficult to see that it represents water, and the small thin lines that curve and stretch are not the coastlines of the earth and the ocean.
At this time, Lin Zhen's heart seemed to have stirred up a storm, and his hand holding the paper began to tremble.
As a person who has lived in this land for almost 40 years, how can he not see that this is clearly a map of Lelang County and its surroundings. He really couldn't believe when Lin Feng had learned such abilities.
It must be known that the map drawn by Lin Feng, even the best map in the county, cannot match such detail and authenticity. Lin Feng, who often goes to sea, naturally knows the importance of maps.
Lin Zhen couldn't help but exclaim when he thought of this: "Wu'er is really a genius!"
