Chapter 009: Near the Water
I lost all the medicine props on my body, and Hu Wei didn't think about making some more. If there are two thousand copper plates on the body, that is equivalent to two thousand dollars. This is the largest amount that Hu Wei has been able to dispose of independently since he grew so old. You must know that before, Master would never allow him to have more than fifty yuan of money.
Fifty and two thousand, that's a world of difference. In Hu Wei's own words, we are now a small landlord. Let's enjoy life first.
After leaving Xiaowangzhuang, Hu Wei casually found a direction and hit the road. The environment of this mandala empire is not bad, there are no factories, no tail gas emissions, and everything is natural.
The sky is blue, the water is green, and even the big green mountains are good. Beautiful women naturally come out of the beautiful mountains, which makes Hu Wei very happy. Along the way, the big girl and the little daughter-in-law, the beautiful woman let him see a lot.
It's just a pity that he didn't meet a woman like Wang Zhang's again, so Xiao Hu Wei is not in good spirits these days, and he is always depressed. Except for some reactions to the best beauty, most of the time, it sleeps.
There is one more thing in the Mandala Empire, and that is refugees. This group of refugees, I don't know where they came from, dragging their homes, with mouths, on official roads, and by the woods, they can often be seen.
Hu Wei inquired curiously, saying that it was an opening in the upper reaches of the Rong River in the north of the empire. More than a dozen towns in that area were blistered, and many people were affected.
Hu Wei has no relatives here, and he doesn't have to worry about which family has been affected. In short, he is the one who is full, and the whole family is not hungry, so he is too lazy to care about these birds. This kind of calamity and calamity, naturally there is a government, oh no, when you come here, you should be called the emperor. These are the affairs of the Imperial Royalty.
I heard that there was really an emperor in this place, and Hu Wei was really happy for a while. He still remembers what he said when he was in the cave, and if he can come out alive, he will have the opportunity to sign up for the position of emperor. Regardless of other treatments for the time being, the emperor's six-palace system alone, the first queen, the third lady, the nine concubines, the twenty-seventh wife, and the eighty-one royal wives, a total of one hundred and twenty-one wives, are enough to make him itch.
But when he said this, when he went outside, Hu Wei didn't dare to talk nonsense. The officers and soldiers here are so fierce, similar to bandits. Hu Wei personally witnessed two cases of officials and soldiers forcibly robbing people's daughters, and when others helped him say a few words, he was beaten to the point that his head was bleeding and his eyes were stitched.
Because of the disaster, prices have risen somewhat, especially food, which has risen rapidly. The small 2,000 copper plates on Hu Wei's body are now less than 1,000 left.
On this day, Hu Wei came to a town called Ningbao. This town is different from Leping Town, it is located in the territory of Huahe Prefecture in the north of Yunzhou. Huahe Prefecture, like Yunzhou, was also one of the nine states of the Mandala Empire and was rich in coal resources. Ningbao Town is a big town. Although it is smaller than the city, the main town also has a population of 50,000 or 60,000, so it can be called a small city.
It's been more than a month since he left Xiao Wangzhuang, and every day in his spare time, Hu Wei will read the book he took from Wang Zhang. There are some introductions in the book about the methods of practicing spiritual power, which are written quite evilly, and after learning it, you can become an immortal and become a god. Hu Wei pressed the above things and practiced for a month, except for the slight control of the use time of the see-through eye, nothing else was of great use.
Hu Wei is now sitting in front of a small stall on the side of the street, drooling over the beautiful women walking by on the street. This stall was opened by him three days ago, a small table, two small chairs, and a very shameless small signboard with the words "Miao ** Heart" written on it, which is all his belongings.
Speaking of this signboard, he originally wanted to write a wonderful hand and benevolence, but it can be said that he reads little and always likes to write typos, so he wrote this wonderful ** heart. At first, he didn't know that he was still in that beauty. When he finds out, he is not interested in changing it, so break the jar and break it.
It's been three days since the stall was set up, and Hu Wei doesn't even have a business. Even at his unlucky sign, no one dared to approach him. But he doesn't seem to be in a hurry, anyway, there are more than five hundred copper coins in his pocket, enough for him to live for a while.
It was almost noon, the sun was a little big, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and even fewer beautiful women. Hu Wei rubbed his eyes, didn't even accept the stall, and went to a restaurant opposite to solve his stomach problem.
went up to the second floor, found a table near the window, ordered two taels of wine, half a catty of beef, and a plate of fried peanuts. The river breeze outside the window stroked his little face that was a little red from time to time.
was enjoying it, when Hu Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw a tall horse appear on the street. The horse's fur was pure black, with only four hooves, and near the ground, there was a small patch of white. This kind of long method has a name in the Book of Horses, called oolong snow treading.
Whether the horse is good or not, Hu Wei doesn't know, he only knows that the girl sitting on the horse is good. I saw that the beauty on the horse was twenty-nine years old, with apricot eyes, a warped nose, a cherry mouth, a white jade face, eyebrows like a willow moon, a standard beauty portrait, delicate and lovely.
Looking at the figure again, it's even more incredible, breast enlargement, thin waist, and buttocks are temporarily invisible, but thinking about it, it must be very warped.
Hu Wei saw that his saliva was all over the table, and he didn't come back to his senses, just thinking about what it would feel like if he could hold this little beauty, spend the moon and do something he loved, wow, what would it be like.
Hu Wei was thinking about it, and the little beauty got off the horse in front of the restaurant and walked in. It didn't matter if she came in, Hu Wei, who was lying on the windowsill and was dreaming, suddenly lost her goal and almost fell directly downstairs.
"Malagobi, what kind of woman is this, this is simply a goblin who wants human life. Hu Wei woke up and muttered to himself.
When a beautiful woman enters the restaurant, she must be going to eat. The view from the second floor was much better than the first, and Hu Wei thought that she should come up, so he craned his neck and looked at the stairs.
After watching it for a while, Hu Wei felt wrong, and secretly screamed that it was not good, so he quickly jumped up and ran downstairs. Sure enough, I saw the little beauty in front of the counter, talking to the shopkeeper.
Hu Wei leaned up slowly, wanting to take the opportunity to get some oil and eat some white tender tofu, but when he saw the little beauty with a double knife hanging on her waist, he didn't dare to get on.
I've been here for a few days, and Hu Wei has some understanding of this continent. This place, anyone who goes out with a guy, will be more or less a few clicks. Mess with them and let them cut them down, and you're out of luck. There are also government offices here, but the government here is in charge of how to find ways to make money, and they are not interested in other things. I want to find them to help you arrest people, hmph, the yamen has been open to the south since ancient times, and you can't come in if you have no money for reason.
"This little leather girl, it's okay to bring anything, what to do with two knives. Hu Wei muttered in his heart.
He didn't dare to look down on the guys in the hands of others just because they were women. You must know that among the five major army commanders of the empire, two are women. These female generals didn't sleep with the emperor, they all had real skills. Fighting and cutting people is more ruthless than men.
It can be seen that women are more violent than men in this place.
If you can't go up to get stuck in the oil, Hu Wei has other ways. Now, although his clairlight eye can only see through for more than ten seconds, it is no longer limited to using it immediately after waking up, and it can be stored and used when he wants to use it. It just so happens that today's ten seconds are useless
It doesn't matter if it's used, until the little beauty left, Hu Wei didn't come back to his senses, opened his mouth, stunned stupidly, and muttered: "This woman, I want it, this woman is mine"
At this time, Hu was worried, and his mind was in chaos. Two little white rabbits and a black forest kept flashing in my mind. And then there is the scene of fighting little beauties with little worries. The battle situation was even more tragic than that of the Great War King Zhang.
Lost his soul returned to his table, the beef was tasteless, the wine was gone, except for Xiao Hu Wei, who had been standing with a backbone, Hu Wei was dying.
"No, I have to get her. Hu Wei yelled in his heart, and the whole thing came to his senses.
If you want to hold a beauty, you must first know who her surname is and where she lives. As for whether or not there is a promise to others, this is not in the scope of consideration.
After Hu Wei had a goal, his brain began to spin at high speed. All the scenes from the appearance and departure, like a videotape, were replayed.
The corners of Hu Wei's mouth are bent deeper and deeper, and those who are familiar with him know that this Si is about to bubble up again.
"Little Er, bring me another pot of wine. Hu Wei drank the wine in his hand and shouted.
The wine soon came up, and Hu Wei saw that no one was paying attention, so he secretly stuffed the twenty or thirty copper plates hidden in his hand into Xiao Er's hand, and said softly: "Little Second Brother, I want to inquire about you something." ”
The shopkeeper checked the copper plate in his hand, and with a very clever slip of his hand, the copper plate in his hand disappeared as if it had never appeared.
"Guest officer, please ask, as long as the little one knows, he must tell him in detail. The shopkeeper said happily.
Hu Wei saw that he was so skilled in this handwork, and his smile deepened. He dared to take his own money so easily, and he must have guessed what he wanted to ask.
Sure enough, as soon as Hu Wei opened his mouth to ask the identity of the woman just now, a look of 'I already knew you were going to ask this' flashed in the eyes of the shopkeeper.
"Guest officer, you have to ask about the identity and family history of the girl just now. This little one shouldn't be too talkative, but since you asked, I'll sue you some, but you can't say that I sued you. Her name is "
"Golden Phoenix, hehe, good name, good name" Hu Wei got the news he wanted, sang a flustered song all the way, and walked out of the restaurant.
What about the stall?
Beauty matters, who cares about that.
****************
Huangfu.
The rich home of Ningbao Town. In addition to guarding the Xu family, he is the richest in his family.
The house has good land, and the house has a granary. Generations of winemakers are a big wine merchant.
Hu Wei was standing in front of the gate of the Yellow Mansion at this time, only to see the deep mansion compound in front of him, the mansion was wide and the walls were high, there were two family members in front of the door, and a vicious dog.
But don't be too alarmed, our predecessors have already summed up a good strategy to deal with this kind of place. Doesn't Tang Pohu's experience of Tang Daxia still give us some inspiration?
Hu Wei expressed his feelings at the front door, turned around and walked to the back door. He had already inquired clearly, the brewery in Huangfu was going to recruit people these days. Hu Wei plans to make a move first.
The back door was much more lively than the front door, and there were a lot of men and women standing, some coming to see the work, and some sending their families to see the work. The man's rough voice, the woman's whisper, and the occasional baby's cry all mingled together to form a buzz that made people's ears swell.
At the corner of the stone steps, there was a woman nursing her child, and it took great perseverance for Hu Wei to look away. The world is not good, and it is not easy to find a job like Huangfu that includes food and shelter and another salary, so only ten people are recruited, and at least more than 300 people come to earn a place.
Hu Wei had been following the master before, and he had never worked for anyone. However, after traveling thousands of miles, he will not be like those who wait in line, foolishly fantasizing that he can be one of the ten lucky ones.
"Sexual happiness is earned on your own. ”
The sister who was good with Hu Wei and taught him to read and write once said such a sentence to him, and Hu Wei has always remembered it.
The book is mainly to write and sell paintings for a living, this sister who specializes in **** painting, is Hu Wei's best mentor 'comrade' friend. Many of the things she gave to Hu Wei were very useful. Just those seventy-two scattered hand combat skills were enough to make Hu Wei unable to forget her for the rest of his life. But unfortunately, many of these moves have been stolen by Wang Zhang.
Hu Wei observed at the door for a while, then sorted out the newly bought cloth clothes on his body, raised his legs and walked inside. He didn't think that in these days, people with brains don't have to queue up.
"It's lined up, don't mess up, hey, hey, what about you, what are you doing, stand up" Hu Wei shouted indiscriminately as he walked inside. Those who lined up honestly didn't know what he was doing, and treated him as a person in the Huang Mansion, no one dared to say anything, some of them were pointed out by him, and they straightened their waists and stood up straight.
Hu Wei quickly squeezed to the front of the line, and before a steward spoke, he walked up quickly, took his hand and said, "Fortunately, fortunately, fortunately"
As he spoke, the copper plate that had been prepared in his hand was stuffed into the hand of the steward.
The person in charge is also a delicate person, and he knows the elegance when he hears the sound of the piano. After a slight inspection, I knew that there were fifty or sixty copper plates stuffed over. With a smile on his face, he pulled Hu Wei aside and said, "Oh, why did you come, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Turning to a corner, the person in charge glanced up and down at Hu Wei, took the shelf and said, "Let's talk about it." ”
Hu Wei secretly hated in his heart, but said with an extremely sincere smile on his face: "The master in charge, the little one wants to get an errand, you see"
Hu Wei only said this, and then shut up. Smart people don't need to talk much, everyone can understand.
The steward's surname is Hu, known as Hu Guanshi, who is one of the six stewards of the Huangfu Mansion and is in charge of external brewery affairs. Being greedy and lustful is not a good thing.
When Steward Hu heard Hu Wei's words, he frowned, looked very embarrassed, and did not answer.
Hu is worried about the old rivers and lakes, and at a glance, you can know that this old guy is afraid of little money. So he put his hand behind his back, took out a hundred copper plates from the ring, and said with a smile: "The little one has been very interested in brewing wine since he was a child, and he asked the steward to help." ”
Steward Hu smiled again at this time, and said kindly: "Young people with ideals are good, I like such young people the most." What's your name?"
"The surname is Hu, and the single name is a worrying word. ”
"Yo, I didn't see it, it's still my family. I can't figure it out that 500 years ago, we were still a family. ”
Hu worriedly said, unless you also crossed over, let alone 500 years, even if it is 5,000 years, 50,000 years, we don't have a dime to do it.
"That's, that's, in the future, the little ones will all depend on the caretaker to take care of them. Hu Wei said with a smile.
"Just wait. ”
The steward flicked his sleeves and left. He didn't take away the clouds, but only one hundred and fifty copper plates. !
