Chapter 29: The Beginning
After eating and drinking, he got rid of the tool man Zhang San, and Li Zhengyi just took a cursory glance around the street, and then returned to the small building that belonged to him.
I asked when I first came back, and now it is less than half an hour old, that is, I am going back and forth at eight o'clock in the evening.
The ancients almost should have gone to bed at this point, but for Li Zhengyi, it was the time when the nightlife had just begun.
What's more, I just ate two bowls of mutton and two pieces of bread, and I couldn't sleep no matter what.
When he returned to the house, the lights were lit, and in the flickering light, he suddenly noticed a few wooden sticks standing behind the door.
Thinking that Zhang San said that he was good at using sticks before, he took one to the backyard and prepared to try to practice.
Just a few days after the fifteenth, the moon in the sky was bright, illuminating the quiet courtyard quite brightly.
The yard is about forty or fifty square meters, which is enough for him to perform. Li Zhengyi clenched the tough wooden stick with both hands, took a deep breath, and slammed it forward......
It didn't take long for him to throw his stick aside and start doing push-ups and leg raises, which he was good at, without saying a word.
It's just because when I played the stick before, I felt good at the beginning, and I danced vigorously.
But just after a moment of pride, the stick in his hand accidentally hit the wall and collapsed back. I almost hit my head, so I had to give up for the time being.
At night, Li Zhengyi didn't know how long he had been practicing, anyway, after feeling tired, he washed his body and went upstairs to rest.
After knowing that it was the Water Margin World, he was not so worried about safety for the time being.
After all, the current society is quite prosperous and stable, not to mention that he also used things to firmly top the front and rear portals.
The wooden bed can also adapt to sleeping, but the sound insulation of this ancient house is really not very good, and the squeaking sound makes it difficult for him to sleep for a while.
Fortunately, the sound next door came to the block, and it went quickly. After touching the thick kitchen knife on the side of the pillow, Li Zhengyi gradually fell asleep with peace of mind.
"Selling Cookcakes~"
"Jujube cake... Delicious jujube cake ......"
On the first day after the crossing, he unexpectedly slept lazily, and Li Zhengyi was woken up by the sound of hawking outside.
The light shining through the thin white paper on the window illuminates the room, and the antique style of the various furnishings looks clearer than yesterday. There is a traditional charm that makes him feel novel.
After getting up and washing, Li Zhengyi did not cook by himself, but went to the stall where he drank mutton soup last night.
When he arrived, he found that the stall was indeed open, and there were other food sellers around, but he didn't immediately like the new and dislike the old, and sat down directly and asked for a bowl of mutton soup.
"Second Brother Li, get up."
"Wow! Do you think Second Brother Li has become handsome again? ”
"Sure enough, it's whiter and more tender than sixteen or seventeen girls......"
I was enjoying the food, but I was suddenly disturbed by these familiar people around me.
Although he can also understand that these crooked-looking guys have no knowledge, the main thing is that their appearance is indeed as tall as three or four stories to them.
But can't you see him eating? One by one, they are too blind.
In a conversation with Zhang San last night, I learned that he was still a faceless person on this street, and he didn't need to be too pretended, so Li Zhengyi just hummed a few perfunctory words and stopped paying attention.
While just bowing his head to eat, the words of the diners around him also made Li Zhengyi think that although they looked similar, there were still some differences between himself and Li Er.
Since he came by himself, where did the original Li Er go. And after he returns, will Li Er, who looks like this, continue to exist?
For a while, Li Zhengyi didn't have any reliable ideas, and there were more and more people talking about his changes around him. He had no choice but to finish a few bites of the mutton soup in the bowl, throw down a dozen pennies and leave quickly.
Breakfast was not expensive, a large bowl of mutton soup and two dough cakes cost less than 20 wen in total.
Thinking of the dozen or so coins and a few pieces of broken silver still in the cabinet, even if he ate like this for a month, it would be more than enough.
Anyway, it wasn't his money that was spent, and he couldn't bring it back, so Li Zhengyi didn't feel distressed at all.
After eating, he didn't go anywhere else, and walked straight to the blacksmith shop he had seen yesterday.
It's good that he didn't receive the task, but now that he has to complete the task, maybe he will clash with people in the process, and just using those few sticks to defend himself is not enough to make Li Zhengyi feel at ease.
At this time, the streets become more lively, bustling with people coming and going.
The shouts of various vendors and the voices of the people around them mingled with each other, and it was very lively.
On the street, there are Sven scum in long shirts and holding fans, farmers in short clothes, and vendors carrying burdens squeezing into crowded places.
Occasionally, he would meet someone who greeted him, no matter who it was, Li Zhengyi just nodded coldly and passed by.
Anyway, he didn't know these people, so it was useless to talk about them.
"Ding Ding Dong ~ Ding Ding Dong!"
When I came to my destination, I heard the sound of clanging iron.
The iron stove was in a half-open shed, and two bronzed-skinned strong men were sweating their sweat.
There was an uncle who was about forty years old and sat on a chair next to him drinking tea, and after standing for a while and hearing someone else calling him Master Liu, he stepped forward.
Seeing Li Zhengyi coming, Master Liu put down the teapot and got up and said, "Li Er, what are you doing here?" ”
Unexpectedly, this is also an acquaintance, and seeing that his attitude is not as respectful as Zhang San, Li Zhengyi slightly restrained some of his six relatives and did not recognize him.
But think about it, after all, Master Liu is not young, although his hair is a little gray and he has a short beard, but his body is stronger than many people in the prime of life.
What's more, there are two young and strong apprentices next to him, how can they please a young man like Li Zhengyi.
"Ahem......"
Just as he was about to explain his intentions, he was interrupted by Master Liu's words.
"You kid has been lazy lately, how did you become like a little girl, this is not the fault that our craftsmen should have."
"Don't you save more money when you're young, and ...... when you're old"
Looking at this situation, there may be some friendship between the two sides. But Li Zhengyi didn't come here to listen to him, so he said directly: "I'm here to buy something." ”
Sure enough, no matter when businessmen pay attention to "customers are precious", as soon as he said this, Master Liu immediately stopped talking and invited him to the store.
After listening to him explain his intentions, Master Liu said a little strangely: "Aren't you kid good at using sticks?" How did you come up with the idea that I would buy a Pak knife here? ”
"Besides, don't you know that our Great Song Dynasty prohibits the private possession of blades, right?"
Ha? Isn't there a Pu knife in Water Margin? Why can't you get here?
"Haha, but it's not impossible, as long as you don't say it's from me."
Seeing Li Zhengyi's expression, Master Liu thought that he was surprised because he couldn't buy weapons.
I secretly thought that it shouldn't be, this Li Er is half a person in the rivers and lakes, he shouldn't know the doorway, and he just said that he couldn't buy and sell just to tease him.
It's a little weird, but business still has to be done.
"I have some friendship with your father, although he is gone, but I will not fool you. If this Pu knife is bought for someone else, then it will have to be added. If you use it yourself, forget it. ”
