Chapter 265: The Town

The cold air poured into the lungs with the fragrance of grass and wildflowers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xiao Yu opened his eyes and happened to see a round of orange-red fireballs slowly rising from the horizon of the sky, volatile majestic heat, and slowly climbing towards the sky.

It can be described as "the red sun is rising, and its way is bright; The river flows out of the subterranean flow, and the ocean flows".

"It's early in the morning......"

"The season is about the turn of summer and autumn......"

His eyes fell on his body, and he found that his clothes had not changed, and his white shirt was still fluttering, but there was an extra sword at his waist.

"The background is determined to be ancient, as for whether it is martial arts or Xianxia, it needs to be further explored."

As soon as I looked at it, I found myself standing on a barren hill, with a rugged road under my feet, almost hidden by wild grass, and at the foot of the hill was a dilapidated town that slept quietly and deeply in the mist.

"Let's see."

Xiao Yu was not in a hurry, and walked slowly down the rugged mountain road.

When I got closer, I realized that this town was really not big, and it revealed a dilapidated atmosphere everywhere.

The city wall is only a meter high, made of stone and loess, and the backlight of the city wall is full of moss, and some of the crevices have small trees and weeds growing in them, which may fall down when pushed, which shows that the defense is not taken into account at all.

From a distance, you can see three or two yellow-skinned peasants entering the town together, with thin yellow muscles and wooden expressions, and there is no vigorous spirit at all.

At dawn, there must have just been a morning rain, the loess road is full of puddles, to the front of the look, the ground at the gate of the city is also broken, not to step on it and shoot out of the crack a very bad smell of black water, pour your pants through the wet, even if it is dry, it will emit a smell that makes people cover the nose.

"The people's livelihood is difficult." Xiao Yu shook his head and sighed, he had seen the prosperity of Suzhou and the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and this place in front of him was almost inseparable from the slums.

"At first glance, it's not a place for seriousness and purity......

However, before he finished his sigh, two guards suddenly burst out of the small door next to him, the clothes on their bodies were crooked, one was carrying a saber, the other was carrying a spear, but the body of the gun was already covered with insect-eaten holes, and the head of the spear was also rusty, and even a pinch of red tassels was only left with the last two tassels, which were miserable in the cold wind, and with a slight shake, there were clouds of insect chips flying out, making people wonder if it was a pestle on the ground, and it would break off from the middle with a "snap".

Although these two people were wearing military uniforms, whether it was the greasy and dirt on their clothes or the lazy appearance, they were really far from the soldiers.

The two of them stood in front of the door, blocking Xiao Yu's way from left to right, and the one led by him said with a smile:

"This boy wants to go into the city?"

"It's not good." Xiao Yu shrugged his shoulders and said calmly, "That's right, I do want to enter the city." ”

The other person glanced at Xiao Yu, smiled, stretched out his greasy paws from his black sleeves, lazily handed them to Xiao Yu, and said with a grin:

"It's okay to enter the city, but our county master said that merchants have to pay one or two silver to enter the city."

“……”

the groove.

I don't read much, don't lie to me!

Although I don't know what dynasty you have here, but the purchasing power of one or two silver was also worth three hundred yuan in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, and you two were skinny and did not leave a dog's tail whip, obviously this era is not the Qing Dynasty, so push forward, the value of silver is getting higher and higher, in the Tang Dynasty, the purchasing power of one or two silver is even more than two thousand yuan.

To give a vivid example, one tael of silver is enough to support a family of three for a month!

It's just a matter of collecting tolls, after all, you have to charge money to travel anywhere these days, and there's nothing wrong with it.

But your uncle's mouth is just one or two pieces of silver, and he is simply robbing it openly.

Xiao Yu tugged at the corners of his mouth and made a final effort, "Too much, right?" ”

"Hey, this is the rule set by the county master, let's just do things according to the rules."

"And what if I don't give it?"

The man at the head smiled, "Don't give it?" ”

As he spoke, his face suddenly turned cold, and the saber in his hand came out of its sheath with a "bang", revealing half of the cold blade, "If you don't come out with silver, you really won't be able to enter this city today!" ”

“……”

At the same time, the friends in the live broadcast room are already crazy-

"In broad daylight, blocking the road and robbing it, this deal is hard to get."

"Yes, it's strong."

"My arrogant cat said, reward them with a few slaps~"

"Anchor, there are a lot of adults, what's the point of bothering with them? If you want me to say, at most, send them up to 90,000 miles. ”

"Just now Meng Meng Da Xiao Mo Lian was eating, I walked over and said, 'Your bowl is leaking', Xiao Mo Lian turned over the bowl, and said suspiciously, 'No leak', I will never forget the sighing eyes of others...... Is the mascot's IQ hopeless? ”

"It is said that there is a girlfriend who is illiterate, Wu and Hao are indistinguishable, and then Queen Yun came with a sentence, very easy to remember, come, follow me to read 'Koutian Wu, Ri Tianhao', eh, I always feel that something is wrong?"

“……”

Xiao Yu's whole body is Spartan.

I've seen people who have collected tolls, but I've never seen people slaughtered directly with knives.

The people who entered the city just now confiscated the money, but they found the master's head, isn't it possible that I am like a wronged leader?

Xiao Yu's eyes narrowed, and the momentum on his body was suddenly released.

The two were about to speak, when they suddenly saw the temperament of the boy in front of them change.

It felt like a sleeping tiger suddenly opened its eyes, slightly revealing its sharp teeth and claws, and spit out a slightly fishy breath, and the cold momentum seemed to hit and press, which suddenly made the two of them tremble, their eyes were frightened, and their hands and feet were soft and leaned against the wall behind them, and even their teeth trembled.

Xiao Yu retracted his gaze, didn't bother to talk nonsense with these two people, and walked directly towards the city.

It took a long time for the two men to come to their senses, gasping for breath and sweating profusely on their foreheads.

"The man's eyes just now were terrifying...... was so frightened that Lao Tzu's heart and liver jumped to his throat. ”

"Phew!" The other person was also pale and frightened, but he refused to admit defeat, opened his mouth and spat at the mouth, and said viciously, "That life is white and pure, and he is wearing silk and satin, and he must be worth a lot of money, and he is not even willing to pay a silver entrance fee, and he is also stingy!" ”

The other hesitated for a moment and whispered:

"I think it's better to forget it, that person doesn't seem to be easy to mess with."

"What's not to mess with, in a poor country like ours, who will come over to see him dressed up clean and refreshing, where he looks like a ranger walking the rivers and lakes, it can't be a rich kid with a hot head, going out to play."

"Hehe, Zhang Zhutou likes this kind of hard bones, when the official seal is stamped, the shackles are taken, and he is put in prison, and with a little means, can there be less oil and water on his body?"

"No, this can't be left like this!"

This guy and that head catcher are related, they are used to running rampant in this town on weekdays, although they are not majestic, but they are not far away, they were scared by Xiao Yu's eyes for a long time, and they only felt that the crotch of their pants was a little damp, and now after sobering up, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and finally I couldn't hold it back, and I went to find someone to take revenge.

Well, cowardly barking, that's the kind of person I'm talking about.

……

When Xiao Yu arrived on the street, the number of pedestrians in the town gradually increased, and the smell of fried oil pots gradually spread on the street, mixed with the smell of earth and grass, making people really feel the breath of life.

Turning the corner of the street, you will see that there is an old camphor tree that looks like a pavilion next to the street, and there is a series of tea stalls below, the water in the pot is steaming, and you can smell a fragrance wafting along the wind from afar.

Hooked by this fragrance, Xiao Yu couldn't help swallowing his saliva, walked over, and found a fairly clean stall to sit down.

From where he sits, he can see the low hills outside the town, the terrain is gentle, the slope is low, the vision is very open, as far as the eye can see, the grass is green, the breeze blows, the hillside is like a wave of undulations, the sky is blue, as if washed with water, the clouds are whiter, and it makes people feel refreshed when they see it.

After Xiao Yu sat down, soon a seven or eight-year-old girl came over with a teapot and filled him with a bowl of bitter tea.

The tea is packed in a large tin teapot, which is directly brewed from dried wild camellias, and it is quite bitter in the mouth, but when you swallow it, you feel a hot current along the throat and straight into the chest and abdomen, and there is actually a trace of aftertaste sweetness.

Xiao Yu was stunned by the little girl, raised his head and poured a bowl of hot tea into his mouth, and then said, "First serve two steamed buns." ”

After a while, two baskets of steaming mutton buns were served, Xiao Yu took the chopsticks, one bite at a time, and he was also very addicted.

At this moment, suddenly a team of officials walked on the street like a vicious look, led by a big man wearing a scarlet headhunter suit, who looked about thirty years old, with a short mustache under his chin, but his eyes were quite narrow, and he was still holding a stack of wanted documents in his hand, after seeing Xiao Yu, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed, and said:

"It's him, take it and talk about it!"

The diners near Xiao Yu suddenly dispersed with an "uproar", but they didn't go far, and hid far away to the side and whispered.

The officer's gaze swept over Xiao Yu's body, and he immediately scolded loudly:

"Daring bandits! Dare to commit murder in Guobei Town! Zhang Zhutou is here, and he will not be tied up quickly, otherwise he will let you eat a stick! ”

Xiao Yu pulled the corners of his mouth and said with empty eyes:

"Speaking of catching thieves and getting dirty, I just ate a bun, what did I do?"

"You want proof?" Zhang Zhutou, who was wearing a vermilion costume, slapped the wanted desk in his hand and shouted, "This is the evidence, and I can't deny it!" ”

Xiao Yu looked down and immediately got drunk——(To be continued.) )
