The stomach is full, and the person is also much more energetic. At this time, Jiang Feng didn't want to die. He first washed his face carefully in a small pond. Only then did he find that his face was not so long and disappointed him. Although he is not a peerless handsome man, he can barely be regarded as a long pleasing to the eye. It's just that the long hair on this head is too terrifying. The clothes on your body should also be washed well.

From this kid coming back so quickly to buy things in the town, Jiang Feng judged that this place should be very close to the town. However, Jiang Feng didn't want to go to the town right away. Because, he felt that he really couldn't see people in his current appearance. Seeing that it was about to get dark, Jiang Feng decided to go to the town the next day.

Jiang Feng was full and was sitting under the tree thinking about his plan, but the little boy on the side was a little impatient to wait.

"I said, are you going to hang yourself yet? Delay a little longer, and it will be dark. As soon as it gets dark, I'm going back. Otherwise, my grandfather will scold me. ”

Jiang Feng didn't expect that he was thinking about hanging himself. However, this time Jiang Feng was not angry.

"Hang, I'm not on it for the time being. However, I can buy a few of your straw ropes. "Jiang Feng has to have a good relationship with this kid now. He's going to point to him tomorrow to do something for him! Otherwise, in the way he is now, he will enter the town, and he will be driven out as a beggar.

The little boy was very disappointed at first when he heard that Jiang Feng said that he couldn't hang himself. But then I heard Jiang Feng say that he wanted to buy straw rope, so he was overjoyed.

"So, how many do you want to buy? We're going to hurry. Otherwise, if you go home late, your grandfather will scold you. ”

"Sell me all the straw ropes you have here!" As he spoke, Jiang Feng took out a small piece of broken silver and handed it over.

"It's too much. Only fifty copper plates. The boy shook his hand.

Jiang Feng saw that he refused to accept it, so he counted fifty of the copper coins he had just returned to him and handed them over.

The little boy took the coin and turned to leave.

"Come early tomorrow! I still have business to do with you! Jiang Feng shouted from behind.

"Got it!" The little boy's immature voice came, which made Jiang Feng feel relieved.

This night, Jiang Feng slept in the haystack of the little boy's house, which was comfortable and safe, and there was no need to worry about wolves. At dawn the next day, he ran back to the hillside where he had met the little boy yesterday, and waited for the little boy to arrive.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for yesterday's little boy to arrive.

With yesterday's cooperation, the transaction between the two went smoothly today. The little boy bought Jiang Feng a new set of clothes from the town, as well as a wooden comb.

It took Jiang Feng more than an hour to clean himself up. Although according to Jiang Feng's makeup artist's standards, it was still too far away, but he finally basically got rid of the beggar circle. No way, who makes the conditions limited! That's for the time being.

At this time, Jiang Feng confidently walked on the road leading to the entrance of the town.

It's a town of only forty or fifty households. To say that this is a town can also be said to be not. Because it's so small. There is a street in the middle of the town, and there are more than a dozen houses on each side of the street, and several houses have their doors closed, and they don't look like shops.

"Can this be considered a town? Much smaller than a small natural village in his hometown. Jiang Feng sighed. But sighing and sighing, his stomach is still full, and the ones he ate last night have already been digested by him. So, Jiang Feng casually bought some food on the side of the road to fill his stomach, and then continued to hurry.

His first destination was Lianjiang City, ten miles away.

Lianjiang County is about 20 miles northeast of Fuzhou City, close to Lianjiang. If you want to enter the city, you must first cross the river.

Jiang Feng came to the only ferry port by the Lianjiang River, and saw a group of people gathered there from a distance, about fifteen or sixteen people. When I got closer, I saw that these people were all dressed in shabby clothes, and they looked a little like beggars. But most of them help the old and the young, drag the family and bring their families, and they all carry all kinds of burdens, and some even bring pots and pans.

With such an outfit, Jiang Feng was very puzzled when he saw it. What kind of people are these! Why is it so strange, Jiang Feng thought to himself.

At this time, this group of people was surrounding two people who looked like tolerances, gossiping, and they didn't know what they were talking about. The two tolerances were probably annoyed by them, and they saw one of them suddenly pull out his waist knife and shout, "Stop!" ”

These people were startled when they saw that the man suddenly drew his sword, so they retreated one after another, and said nothing. The man glanced at the crowd, then pointed to one of the men in his fifties and said, "You, tell me why." Everyone else shut up for me. ”

When the man saw that he was pointing at him, he just stepped out of the crowd and saluted the messenger. "Bear with me. The villains fled from Mi County, Shaanxi. There's no way, Mi County is in a big drought again this year! The crops were not harvested, and the food for the imperial court disaster relief was not enough. We're left with the only way to escape.

Originally, we were going to flee to Zhili, but halfway through the road we heard that there would be a big battle in the north, so we had to turn south again. We fled from Shandong to Zhejiang, but we never found our home to take us in. Later, I heard that there was a great benevolent man in Lianjiang City, Chen Yuanliang, and Chen Yuanwai, so we all discussed and went to Chen Yuanwai.

Our Mi County was already poor, and along the way, we mainly relied on begging to get here. I don't even have an extra bun on my body, so where does the money come from! Because they had to cross the river, there was no way, so everyone scraped together twenty of the money they had begged for along the way, and they wanted to discuss with the eldest brother who was ferrying to cross the river for us people.

However, my lord, you have to collect another ten cents per person in taxes, and we really can't do anything about it. We came all the way south, and there were originally more than 30 people, but when we arrived here, only the 17 people in front of us were left, and the others were starving to death and dying of disease. If we can't find the master's house to take us in, the seventeen of us will starve to death sooner or later! Be merciful, my lord, have mercy on us, and let the little people go! ”

The man's eyes couldn't help but moisten a little with emotion. When the others heard this, they also shouted, "My lord, let us go!" ”

The man glared at his triangular eyes and shouted to the crowd, "What a noise, what a noise!" I pity you, who will pity me! We have a quota here every day! If we can't finish it, we'll have to hit the board. None of the fathers-in-law sent by the tall chief steward were easy to serve. ”

Jiang Feng looked at everyone, and then at the two tolerances. He was a newcomer, and he didn't want to be nosy, so he was planning to get around. Those two tolerances had already seen him.

"What are you doing, what are you doing, you want to run!" A tolerance lined up and everyone chased after Jiang Feng to stop him.

Jiang Feng didn't understand what was going on for a while. "I ....... Haven't you let it go here? ”

"Let it go! But did you pay the money? "That tolerance is hard and hard.

"What money?" Jiang Feng really didn't know what money to pay.

The tolerance pointed to a sign standing on the beach by the river. "What money? Don't you see this sign? 'Anyone who crosses the river will receive ten wen per person'. This is the emperor's commandment, and our tall chief has set up a card here to collect taxes from passers-by. ”

Jiang Feng understood the reason. It turns out that these two tolerances are exclusively for tolls here. It seems that the refugees who fled the famine also apparently had a dispute with the two men because they could not afford to pay the tolls.

Jiang Feng is not opposed to tolls, in modern society, there are people everywhere who collect tolls, and he has long been used to it. Jiang Feng didn't want to be verbose with these two tolerances, so as not to get into trouble, and was about to dig out the silver, when he saw two more people coming over to him.

Among the two people, the person who walked in front was wearing a Confucian shirt and holding a folding fan, and he looked very unusual, and his appearance was also outstanding. The person behind him looked like a scholar, slightly shorter than his master, but also more handsome, and there was a softness in his bones.

Jiang Feng's heart moved, could it be that this scholar is a maidservant?

When the two approached, Jiang Feng had already seen through the identity of this scholar, and it was indeed a woman. And this master, although he was well dressed, happened to cover the Adam's apple with his collar. But Jiang Feng still judged from the faint aroma emanating from this person that this person was also a female.

If you are an ordinary person, you may not be able to see through the identity of this woman. But Jiang Feng is a professional makeup artist, and his work makes him deal with almost all kinds of beauties every day, and Jiang Feng has a professional sensitivity to the unique taste of women.

"Stop!" The tolerance who was negotiating with Jiang Feng, when he saw these two people, his eyes also lit up. However, unlike Jiang Feng, the reason why he felt that his eyes were shining was because because he saw that the person who looked like a son in front of him was dressed luxuriously, and he would definitely be able to charge more money for a while.

The two stood in astonishment, apparently not understanding the purpose of the man calling him to stop.
