Chapter 185: The Way to Get Out of the City Nameless old man
Li Chengzhou looked around again and found that there was no one, so he walked quickly to the old man.
The action that had just looked around almost found Li Xiaojiang, who was following all the way. At this time, he was hiding in the alley and patting his chest, and he was almost discovered.
"What are you looking for me?"
"There's a way I can get you out of town."
"How do you know I'm going out of town?"
Li Chengzhou instantly became alert, could this be the old man Fang who came out to protect himself? But on second thought, shouldn't it be, send an old man to protect himself?
"You kid, I can't get out of the city gate for so long, I'm old, but I'm not blind, of course I can see you want to go out."
"Please tell me how to get out of the city."
The old man glanced at Li Chengzhou and stretched out his hand, but Li Chengzhou didn't understand.
"What do you want?"
"Of course it's food! Eat! You rich boys really don't understand anything..."
The old man chattered endlessly, Li Chengzhou was very embarrassed, he only recently felt that he understood more than before, but he was disgusted and didn't understand anything just after he came out.
"Okay, boss, tell me how to get out of the city."
Li Chengzhou said as he took out the food in his bag and handed it to the old man in front of him.
The old man asked Li Chengzhou while eating food.
"Do you know why the guards at the gates won't let you out?"
"Why?"
"Because you're so clean. If you look at the people on the street who wear clothes issued by the government, they are not dirty, they only have one set of clothes, and they naturally wear them all the time without changing, and only the children of rich families can get several sets of clothes. You are clean, your clothes are clean, and you are certainly not a common man. ”
"What does this have to do with me going out of town?"
"Naturally, it has a relationship, the package you are carrying is also bulging, and it must contain food, and the soldier must be trying to blackmail you for some food."
"Doesn't the government give food to the soldiers? Why do you have to rely on this method? ”
"They can avoid being fed when they are soldiers, but what about ordinary people? If you don't work under the government, you can often only receive a relief food, barely enough to eat. In the face of a boy like you, they naturally won't let it go, and they have to extort a sum of money. ”
Li Chengzhou's head was full of doubts, what kind of son? Aren't everyone the same now?
"What tribe are you from?"
Li Chengzhou had an idea and remembered the tribe where the tomahawk was.
"I'm from the Oak Tribe, what did you say about the rich kid just now?"
"Aren't you?"
"I'm not! My family is also poor, and I used to wear animal skin clothes, but this time I went out of the city to wear clothes issued by the government. ”
"Impossible, although you are a little darker, you are generally clean, like us ordinary people, which one is not oily? Don't fool me. ”
"I just went out to clean it, I'm really an ordinary person."
Li Chengzhou sat next to the old man and handed over another piece of cake.
"Old man, what did you just say about the rich kids?"
"It's the tribal leaders and leaders who were in charge of the various cities before."
"Aren't they being routed by the Don Army? How can there be? ”
"Naturally, they can't be eliminated, their forces still exist, and there are even some subordinates."
"Does the government care?"
"How? I heard that some of them are still colluding with the government! ”
"What?"
Li Chengzhou was taken aback.
"Be quiet. Don't be surprised, don't you know? ”
"I don't know."
Such news is like a bolt from the blue, and there are still occasional such things under the clear sky?
"Their food and clothes are also exchanged with the government?"
"Their power can even spread over most of the city, and some of the storehouses are their people, who will secretly deliver food and clothes to their homes. They will also exchange gold or anything useful directly from the government. ”
"The world is full of wonders. Old man, tell me how to get out of the city first. ”
"Two ways, one way is to give the soldiers defending the city some food, and they will let you go, but then you still can't get through such a scene. The second option is that you get your clothes dirty, get yourself dirty, and you'll be fine. ”
For the sake of convenience, Li Chengzhou chose the second option.
He found a hidden place to make himself dirty, and then returned to the north gate.
"What are you going to do out of town?"
"Pick some fruit, you're hungry."
The soldier glanced at the dirty Li Chengzhou, as if he had some impression, where had he seen it, but he couldn't remember it for a while, he didn't seem to have anything to exploit, so he could only let him go.
Li Chengzhou went out of the city and walked all the way north, but before a while, he heard shouts from behind.
"Boy, slow down, wait for me."
Li Chengzhou looked back and saw that it was the old man who caught up with him just now.
"Why are you here too? Aren't you staying in Bull Fire? ”
"Anyway, it's nothing, where to live is not life, but your kid is quite interesting, it's better to walk together and get a companion, and you won't be alone on the road."
This old man has experienced a lot of things, and he has seen it thoroughly, he is the most classic low-level people, and he understands everything quickly with him.
"Okay, let's go, what's your name, old man."
"I don't have a name, you can call it whatever you want."
"You can call me Xiao Li."
The two of them talked about the old man, who was also a commander of Fire Bull City, but later made a mistake and left the army, begging for a living, until now.
Li Chengzhou lied that he grew up in the Oak tribe when he was a child, his father was a small commander, and his family was quite well-off, and later moved to Fire Cow City, and his father was in White Bird City, and he wanted to go over to find it.
The old man listened with disdain.
"You're so old, and you're still looking for your father? Can you make a little difference? When I was your age, I had five or six children, and you weren't married yet, were you? ”
"Not yet."
"I know a few girls, about the same age as you, that is called a strong, strong and capable worker, can withstand a man, and has a big buttocks, and can give birth to a son at a glance."
Li Chengzhou's mind was full of black lines, what kind of taste did these people have, so unique.
"There's no need, don't worry about me, by the way, what about your five or six children?"
Speaking of this, the old man was stunned for a moment.
"They all died, some died in the army, some died hunting, some died of illness, and the last one died of childbirth, and died with his mother."
Li Chengzhou couldn't help but sigh at this life, this is too miserable, this world is left with himself, and when he goes back, he must spread medicine.
The two chatted all the way, and the old man looked up at the sky, and the sun was about to set.
"Young man, did you bring a self-defense weapon and a fire?"
"What's that? I didn't bring it. ”
When the old man heard this, he screamed.
"You're really miserable, old man, me."
Then he pulled Li Chengzhou and started running, looking for a place to stay everywhere.
