Chapter 111: Pretending to be a mortal
The four of them looked at each other, they all held back a smile, and then looked at Huo Rongdong and Song Huan with strange expressions.
Song Yu said: "What's the matter, am I not good?" β
She crossed genders directly and became a rough man with dark skin and a beard, and tattooed with a green dragon and a white tiger on her arms. The other three are not much better, and they also changed their genders, one is a beautiful young woman with rich breasts and fat buttocks, the other is a delicate and timid boudoir lady, and there is a middle-aged beauty who still has charm.
Ami is the young woman, he compared an orchid finger, suppressed his voice and said charmingly: "The slave family also thinks that they are very beautiful, why does the son look at the slave family like this?" β
Song Fan stared at his face and looked at it, speechless for a while, and turned around directly, even looking at it with spicy eyes.
Huo Rongdong wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead and sighed: "If you change gender, male to female, female to male, it is difficult to change people's behavior, and it is easy to make people suspicious." And I don't have any clothes for you here......"
The dress of the unmarried women of the mortal dynasty is different from that of the married woman.
Song Huan flicked his sleeves with hatred, and didn't look over: "Think about it yourself, if you enter the city together with such a face, what are your identities with each other?" β
Song Yu touched the newly grown thick beard on his chin, looked at the three beauties of different ages beside him, and hesitated: "The mountain king and the lady I robbed the village?" β
All:......
In the end, the plan of the king of the mountain was quickly abandoned. After discussing for a while, Pei Shanshan, Ami and Youcang pretended to be ordinary peasants, and they were the three brothers who went to the city to sell firewood. Song Yu became a small peasant girl with a beautiful face, and Huo Rongdong was called a sister, and she went to the city to work.
It's just that the clothes in their storage bags are all Taoist robes and magic robes, and the materials are superior, and they are extraordinary at first glance. Huo Rongdong turned out a few cloth clothes that he had worn before in the corner of the storage bag, and divided them with Song Yu in one set, and the clothes of the other four men were embarrassed.
She pointed to a small village outside the city, where she could vaguely see the woman washing clothes by the river: "I'll go there and buy some clothes, and leave some silver taels for the villagers." β
Ami immediately gave up his hand: "It's hard work for Fairy Huo to go." β
Song Yu reminded: "It's time to call Miss Huo!" β
"Oh, I remember."
Even if he didn't use mana, the monk's body was far superior to that of ordinary martial arts masters.
I went to a small riverside village, but after a while, Huo Rendong came back, carried a bag in his hand, and took out three of the farmer's coarse linen clothes and a white bachelor's shirt from it.
"Can you wear it?"
Although several people were born in a family of cultivators and were pampered, they did not have the slightest complaint about the coarse cloth clothes and upper body.
The action quickly changed clothes, and several people took self-portraits in the mirror, and then adjusted their expressions to make a tired and weak appearance, which is more in line with the identity of a farmer.
The reason why they want to change their appearance and enter the city is because they don't know how to go to the capital of Wuguo;
second, I also want to find out the news in other towns; Third, for the sake of the safety of concealing his whereabouts, if he easily uses the spiritual power of the magic weapon, he is afraid of being discovered by the monks made of iron plates.
The city in front of them is called "Or City", it is an ordinary small city in the Martial Kingdom, all ordinary people thrive here, and the spiritual power content in the air is also very low, so it stands to reason that there are no monks.
There are many horse-drawn carriages and donkey carts on the official road that come and go, which can be regarded as very prosperous, and there are many farmers and merchants who cross the river, so no one pays attention to the addition of a few fresh faces.
When they came to the gate, it was already dark, and some of the guards cried out, "The gate is closedβthe gate is closedββ! Take a few more steps! β
So those who rushed into or out of the city ran one after another, caravans, carriages, horses, and pedestrians crowded together, and Huo Rongdong and the six of them also squeezed into the city smoothly.
They are all dressed as ordinary people, and their faces are very ordinary after camouflage, at most two women can be called "delicate" because of their manners. Besides, a few people had no carriages or horses, no weights, and they were purely on foot, and there was no suspicion at all around them, and the soldiers did not pay too much attention.
Song Fan was also quite careful, and told everyone to get their own baggage, and put some copper plates and sundries on their backs. If you want to take something out of a storage bag, you can use it as a pretense.
They pretended not to know each other and scattered in search of clues. Because it was dark, there was a special inn in the city to rest, and Song Huan could live in the hotel by pretending to be a showman, but it was impossible for Ami to sell firewood as three farmers, and in these years, the money for a room could be enough for them to sell firewood for several days.
Fortunately, there are also large shops specially prepared for the poor people at the bottom in the inn, and more than a dozen people sleep horizontally on a stone kang, squeezed together with each other, the taste is a little bigger, and there are tiles to cover the body, and it is not cold.
But where have the children of the Xiuzhen family slept in such a dirty and smelly bunk, Ami held his arms and shrunk on the very edge. Although they didn't take off their clothes, they still felt the sour smell of sweat and the musty smell of cotton bedding that had not been washed all year round.
Ami pinched his nose and silently recited the mantra of purifying his heart, and Pei Shanshan next to him quietly took out a mint sachet from his sleeve to smell it, and a few of them endured it silently, but other real porter farmers were very accustomed to such a dirty and messy environment.
Some people do a day's work, and they are so tired that they fall asleep; Someone took out a dry biscuit, and he was hungry under the cold water; There were also people gathered around the dim candle flame in twos and threes to talk about the latest news in the city.
Ami pretended to be asleep, but actually pricked up his ears to listen to their conversation.
A big man took out a sweat towel and wiped his face: "In this terrible world, life really can't go on." β
"First of all, they were conscripted, the city walls were repaired, the moats were dug, and a village was ten rooms and nine empty, and so many men died, and none of them could come back."
"Then there was a great drought, and all the rice in the field dried up, and I was hungry on the only potatoes left. I knew that there would be a catastrophe in a big drought year, but no, the big cat on the mountain had no food, so he ran down the mountain to eat people! β
Some others helped: "No, if you want me to say, it's that the one on the golden throne in the capital has done too many bad things, which has made God angry!" β
In the minds of the common people, catastrophes from the sky or strange celestial phenomena are the result of the emperor's unkindness.
"Fierce beasts eat people, it's not a way to go on like this, why don't we follow the example of the ancients and organize a team to go up the mountain to kill tigers?"
The big man who spoke before knocked on his leg and grinned: "It's useless, that's not an ordinary big cat!" We only have to die! β
A group of short-term workers were discussing something, but the man who spoke was silent, just knocking his own leg.
Suddenly, he felt a hand pressed on his knee: "Big brother, you go on, what's wrong with the big cat?" β
The man inexplicably felt that his legs didn't hurt after a day's work, turned his head, and saw an ordinary-looking kid next to him, and didn't think much about it: "That's not me talking nonsense, we saw it with my own eyes!" β
"Half a year ago, there were fierce beasts near the village, and a lot of young people were taken away, and the village chief felt that it was not good, so he took people to the town to find the officials." The big man said vividly, "But who knows, so many people died, and the government still sat idly by, they said that there were too many villages to report the crime, and they couldn't manage it!" β
"grandma's! The government doesn't care if we fight it ourselves! The big man said angrily, "Later, the village organized a tiger fighting team, but it was not an ordinary big cat at all, it could fly and breathe fire, and five people died immediately, and my leg was injured at that time!" β
Ami asked again: "Big brother, do you know where this beast hurts people?" β
"There are several villages in the surrounding area, all of which are next to the mountains and forests. There are also places farther away, where are there so many tigers! Oh no, this is a natural disaster! β
After that, he made a bitter face: "Anyway, too many people have died this year......"
After hearing this, Ami's face was solemn, and he hugged his fists again and said, "Thank you, big brother, for solving your doubts." After saying that, he lay down back in the Chase shop.
The big man scratched his head and muttered in his mouth: Look at the inferior rough man who is also working, how can he speak so elegantly.
It's strange to say that when the kid pressed his knee, his leg didn't hurt anymore.
The next day, the three groups of people met in the lobby of the inn, exchanged a look, and walked to the back alley off the beaten track.
"The information I found out is that the government is aware of this phenomenon of rampant demon beasts."
Song Yu said again: "There is an eldest sister in our shop, her husband and son were taken away by forced labor and never came back. According to her, both of them are in good health, and they will never die outside because they dig an embankment. β
She and Huo Rongdong glanced at each other: "We think this conscription is also quite strange, there are too many dead. β
Song Huan clapped: "It seems that we have to find a way to sneak into the capital." β
Ami raised his hand: "I, me, me!" There is a big brother in my shop, he is about to follow the caravan to the north, we can say that we want to follow the caravan to the capital to work, just pay some fare! β
So last night, Wang Daring in the Chase shop saw Ami and the others again.
He touched his head, a little strange: "You really want to go to the capital?" This is a carriage caravan, everyone has a carriage to sit in, and it costs 20 cents a day! β
Sell firewood, sell firewood for a day and don't know if you can make five cents!
If ordinary farmers do not have a harvest in the fields, and rarely do odd jobs far away, even if they do, they will only take ox carts and pay three or four cents a day.
The king's bold convoy was transporting precious fabrics, and he was afraid that the sun would damage them, so he used a carriage with carriages.
He didn't see that the three Ami brothers were like children with family backgrounds, and the tattered linen clothes were all patched, and they couldn't get mixed up even if they thought about it. Song Yu and Huo Rongdong's two daughters are also ordinary village women, and only Song Huan, a scholar, has a little silver taels.
But unexpectedly, they all paid the fare in one go, and they paid it for seven days as soon as they paid!
Usually people follow the car, that is, every two or three days, and there are also one hand a day. In case half of the road is shy, you can also follow the convoy by yourself.
These six people handed over a lot of copper plates, and they didn't even frown. The three Ami brothers didn't mention it, and climbed into the carriage with great skill. The scholar who seemed to be quite weak actually climbed up easily.
In the end, the two peasant girls took a look in the carriage, and even asked the merchants to buy a gourd filled with water!
Isn't the wall of that thing overgrown in the courtyard, it's not worth spending money on at all!
Wang Daring, who has been watching: Blocking the heart, loser!
