Chapter 2, Master's whereabouts

Coming out of the bridge cave and looking at the surrounding environment, Jiang Yan found that the bridge he lived in was not far from the city wall of the Forty-Nine City.

These forty-nine cities are the kingdoms of the two dynasties of the Ming and Qing dynasties in the past, and Jiang Yan has heard that these four nine cities have four inner and outer seven imperial cities.

"Inner Nine Outer Seven Imperial City Four" refers to the fact that there are nine gates in the inner city, seven gates in the outer city, and four gates in the imperial city. The four gates of the imperial city are Tiananmen, Di'anmen, Dong'anmen, and Xi'anmen; The nine gates of the inner city are Zhengyang Gate (Qianmen), Chongwen Gate, Xuanwu Gate, Chaoyang Gate, Fucheng Gate, Dongzhi Gate, Xizhi Gate, Anding Gate, and Desheng Gate.

This city wall is much bigger than the Xi'an city wall I saw before, and it is not the previous capital, but it is a pity that it was demolished in later generations. If it were placed in its own time, it would be a great tourist attraction.

However, under the current city wall, the garbage pile is almost the same as the city wall, and there is a foul smell.

I glanced up at the city gate, but fortunately, my eyes were better, and I saw a few big characters in Zhengyangmen effortlessly.

Seeing this Zhengyangmen, Jiang Yan's heart was mixed, although he had thought about it before, he would not wave. But now it seems that I was thinking a little idealistic before.

What if you don't have a reasonable way to make money, you can't follow your master to sell your art for a lifetime!

I should find a serious job, I was a dignified undergraduate graduate in my previous life, and it shouldn't be too difficult to find a job.

However, when he saw his little arms and legs, Jiang Yan instantly dispelled the idea of looking for a job.

There is another reason to dispel this idea, I don't know traditional Chinese characters!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but complain, which god did I offend, let myself travel to this era, and I crossed over, you are about the same age as yourself! How to make a ten-year-old child live in this chaotic time is a problem.

This is really an empty dragon slaying skill, but he is young!

Forget it, don't think about it, let's go to the master! Jiang Yan pulled the patched clothes on his body and strode towards the overpass.

Alas! I don't want to wear this rag, I have been looking for it in the supermarket just now, and there are no clothes at all in the supermarket except for some gloves and socks.

After passing through Zhengyang Gate, this came to the most lively Qianmen Street in Sijiu City, and I have to say that this Qianmen Street is really lively.

The courtyard houses of the alleys with blue bricks and gray tiles, the words of Beijing accent and Beijing rhyme, and the seventy-two lines that are almost extinct in later generations, all kinds of shouts come and go, and there is a breath of life when you listen to it.

Sijiu City Overpass, that is the most lively place in the whole Sijiu City, there are almost everyone here with three religions and nine streams, don't believe it, this showman, juggling, almost all of the cross talk, as well as fortune tellers, cure, almost not far away. Especially all kinds of Yanjing snacks, smell fragrant.

After coming to the overpass, Jiang Yan didn't immediately look for his master, but crowded into the crowd to watch a lively, I have to say, there is almost no moisture in the performances here, if there is no three or five years, you really can't perform these.

Looking at these performances, Jiang Yan couldn't help but think to himself, if these were filmed by himself and placed on Douyin, they would easily break 10,000.

After watching it for a while, Jiang Yan remembered what he was doing here, so he left the crowd and walked towards the place where he and his master often performed art, but Jiang Yan was disappointed that his master was not there at all, and he didn't see his master when he walked around the entire overpass.

This is to make Jiang Yan blind, his master should not slip away! What if he slipped away!

Throughout the morning, Jiang Yan almost ran through the place where he and his master often performed their arts, and after returning to the overpass, he found a place in the shade, Jiang Yan sat down directly, he was so tired of walking around this circle!

Coo, coo, and his stomach rang again, Jiang Yan found that his food consumption seemed to have increased a lot in the cafeteria just now, and he had eaten several large bowls of rice and vegetables just now.

If you put this before, you can eat one-fifth of it, even if you have a large stomach.

It is estimated that Jiang Yan has forgotten which era he lives in and what era it is.

Although he had no money in his previous life, he ate and drank much better than now, and it can also be said that one is in the sky and one in the ground. It's good not to have too much auxiliary food.

In this era, everyone is generally short of oil and water. Completely rely on carbohydrates to provide energy, and there are almost no non-staple foods, so it is really not just a matter of saying that people in this era eat not a few big bowls, and half of the size eats poor people.

Let's fill our stomachs first! There are many people here, and Jiang Yan doesn't dare to take things out of the space.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan got up and walked directly to the place where snacks were sold.

Before I got close to the shack selling snacks, all kinds of cries came to me.

"Here comes the bee cake! Aiwowo"

"Donkeys full of sugar are rolling! No sweet, no money. ”

"Crispy pancakes! Hemp tail. ”

"The yellow of peas! What a big block. ”

"Boiled and burned, fried ghosts, cheap and filling."

Smelling the aroma of food, Jiang Yan came directly to a place that sold steamed buns, and when he saw the bulging buns on it, Jiang Yan's saliva wanted to flow down.

But before Jiang Yan could speak, the boss who sold the steamed buns glared at Jiang Yan and scolded: "Where did you come from to ask for food, don't be mistaken for Lao Tzu to sit in business, get out of here." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Yan was furious, but looking at the huge man who sold the buns, Jiang Yan could only leave. But in my heart, I was scolding, this turtle grandson is really not a good thing.

Jiang Yan, who had no choice, could only return to the place where he was squatting just now, thinking in his heart, otherwise he would leave here first, find a place to fill his stomach and squat here for his master.

"Xiao Yan, what are you doing here!" At this time, Jiang Yan felt that his back was patted, and when he turned around, he saw Tian Zao standing behind him with several children.

"Sister Zao, don't bring you like this, don't you know that there is a saying called people are scary and scared to death! If I'm going to be scared to death, you don't feel guilty! ”

The person who came was Tian Zao, the child king in this area, and she took more than a dozen children to make a living in this area and several streets.

I followed the master to set up a stall here, and I got acquainted with her as soon as I came and went.

However, Jiang Yan from later generations knew that this Tian jujube was still the first heroine in the TV series "Hutong" that he had seen in later generations.

"Coo," the stomach screamed.

Hearing the screams in Jiang Yan's stomach, Tian Zao laughed a few times, and randomly took out two sesame baked cakes from his shoulder bag and handed them to Jiang Yan

"Let's eat!"

Jiang Yan took the sesame baked cake and took a bite, this sesame baked cake is really fragrant, eating the baked cake Jiang Yan said vaguely to Tian Zao: "Thank you, Sister Zao, by the way, Sister Zao, have you seen my master." ”

"I saw him yesterday afternoon, but your master seems to be injured, and I asked him at the time! He said it didn't matter, said he would handle it, and I haven't seen him since. ”

"My master is injured, is it serious", Jiang Yan heard this, put down the baked cake in his hand and nervously took Tian Zao's hand and asked.

"I don't know, but I see a lot of blood."

When Jiang Yan heard this, the sesame baked cake in his hand was no longer fragrant. Thinking quickly about everything about his master in his head, this rummaging really made Jiang Yan find the clue.

Since Jiang Yan and the master came to this Sijiu City, the whereabouts of the master have become strange, and he disappears a few nights every week, asking him what he is doing, the master just touches his head and says that he is doing things that are beneficial to the poor.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan was almost certain that his master might be an underground party. Something suddenly flashed in my mind.
