Chapter 151: A Bunch of Angels
Chapter 151: A Group of Angels
Yan Bukai has been a city guard in Dongwang City for more than ten years, and this can already be said to be his territory. The full-text ad-free novel is all on Aishang Novel Network biquge.info it is not so easy to find out what people deliberately conceal on other people's territory.
Three days have passed, and the handover between Yan Bukai and Qi Yuanjie has almost been completed, Yan Bukai may leave Dongwang City at any time, leaving less and less time for Hu Wei, but he has not found any clues.
"Don't think about it so much, as the saying goes, it is in the people who plan things, and it is in the sky to achieve things, and if you do your best, you can't find it, and there is no way to do it. Seeing that Hu Wei's brows tightened day by day, he couldn't help but persuade.
Hu Wei took his red hand and gently swayed it on his face. The air in this cave is relatively dry, which makes the red hands slightly thicker than when they were in the imperial capital.
"It's not a day to be strict, we just haven't found a way yet. As long as I can find the slightest clue, I can break him.
What is there in this cave city of Maragobi that can make money? ”
Hong knew that Hu Wei was not such a person who gave up, she just saw that Hu Wei was busy with military affairs every day, and she had to squeeze out time to analyze Yan Bukai's hard work, so she couldn't help but say those words. In fact, when she said it, she knew that if it wasn't for the certainty that it was hopeless, Hu Wei would definitely not let go so easily.
"Why don't we go out for a walk, maybe we can get some inspiration." ”
"It's fine. Hu Wei glanced at the reports on the table, those were not very urgent, so he went out for a walk with Hong. Maybe it can really be like what Red said, but he can't keep anything in order.
Dongwang City is a city without vitality, and Hu Wei and Hong walk on the streets, and they don't feel the warmth of being in the town. Not to mention the imperial capital, a big city like Langtian, even compared to the previous Linggui, the popularity here is much worse.
People say that only when there is hope can there be vitality, but can the people here see any hope? The land is barren, and the harvest of what is planted is only enough for food and clothing, and if the harvest is bad, they will have to go hungry. There was nothing but those few acres of thin fields. You can see through a lifetime of life at a glance, and you have to face bandits and robbers all day long, how much vitality can you have. If you can live, it doesn't count.
"Alas, there is nothing in the bazaar here. I'd like to buy some souvenirs. Red was a little disappointed and pulled Hu Wei out of the market.
Hu Wei saw that Hong's interest was not high, and teased her: "Who said that there are no specialties, there are many specialties here, and you don't need money, you can have as much as you want." ”
Hong tilted his head and thought about it, but he didn't think of what Hu Wei was referring to, and asked a question: "Is there such a specialty, why don't I know." ”
Hu Wei said seriously: "Of course there is. In the yellow sand, you see this yellow sand in the sky, isn't it a specialty here. Think of as much as you want, you installed it yourself. ”
"I hate it, and I bully others. Red reached out to fight Hu Wei.
Hu Wei reacted very quickly, grabbed the red hand in the air, pulled it to his mouth and said, "The gentleman doesn't move his mouth." “
Hong smiled and said: "That's to say you, I'm a woman, not only do my hands, but I also move my feet." ”
Red said, and kicked Hu Wei with his foot. Hu Wei turned around and ran: "Then I will also move my feet to see whose feet run fast." ”
"Don't run, let me catch you, I want you to look good. Red chased after him.
"I'm not a woman, so I don't need to be good-looking. Hu Wei ran and grimaced at her while making a face at her.
A man and a woman, chasing and running, shouting and laughing, brought a trace of vitality to this lifeless Dongwang City.
Hu Wei was running, and suddenly he stopped chasing and stopped. There's no one chasing behind him, and he's running like crazy, isn't that a fool? If you look at the eyes of those people on the street, can't you look like you're looking at a fool?
"What's the matter, what are you looking at?" Hu Wei returned to Hong's side, following Hong's gaze, looking for the focus of her gaze.
"Looking there. Red stretched out her slender jade fingers and pointed to an alley.
As the red fingers looked over, what appeared in the Hu Wei line was a group of half-grown children. The eldest is about twelve or thirteen years old, and the one seems to be old. One of them looks a little familiar with the back:
"Hmm? It's Huzi. What was he doing there. It's interesting, let's go play with him. ”
Hu Wei and Hong secretly leaned in without alarming the group of children. It turned out that the group of children was cooking. There must be more than ten children in this group, and each child has a division of labor. There are vegetable chopping and there is fire, and one by one it is in full swing, which is very lively.
"Hey, Huzi, what about cooking, is there anything to eat, bring me one too." Hu Wei greeted.
Huzi seemed to be the head of this group of children, he was directing everyone to do things, and when he heard someone calling him, he turned his head.
"Sister Red. Seeing the red, Huzi's face suddenly had a smile.
Hu Wei said unhappily: "You, a guy who is heavy on sex and light on friends, only remember beautiful women." ”
Huzi smiled: "I remember you too, Uncle Hu Wei." ”
Hu Wei pointed to his nose and glared: "Mara Gobi, you call her sister and call me uncle?"
"Don't teach bad boys. Red saw that Hu Wei was rude, hit Hu Wei, gave him a roll of his eyes by the way, took a few steps forward, came to Huzi's side, touched Huzi's head very intimately and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, where did you go." I didn't come to see my sister either. ”
Huzi laughed and said, "I'm with my brothers and sisters, and I'm a little busy." ”
Hong wiped the black on Huzi's face and said, "How can you cook by yourself, the adults in the family, won't you cook it for you?"
As soon as Hong's words came out, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly cooled down, and the laughter before was frozen. A few younger children began to have red circles under their eyes.
Huzi's face also darkened, and he shook his head and said, "We are all orphans without a father or mother, and our sisters adopted us. Now that my sister won't let us, we can only cook for ourselves.
But it doesn't matter, we can only take care of ourselves. Besides, my sister should be back soon. ”
Speaking of his sister, Huzi's face showed a smile again. It can be seen that the sister in his mouth must be very good to him.
"That's it, Sister Chu Zhu is coming back soon, I dreamed of her last night. She brought a lot of delicious food for Niu'er, a lot of it. A girl cried out.
The girl's voice was very sweet, and Hu Wei followed the voice to look over. An old girl with a round face, a black head and big eyes appeared in his sight.
The girl's clothes are obviously one size bigger than her, and the long hem is directly used as a skirt, and the sleeves cover her hands. It's really cute to see her pull her sleeves from time to time and show her hands.
Hu Wei only glanced at it, and fell in love with this girl. Smiled and walked over, squatted down, and said in a soft voice as much as possible: "Girl, you are very beautiful"
Niu'er was not afraid of being born at all, she looked at Hu Wei with a pair of eyes, nodded heavily, and said, "Thank you, everyone who has seen Niu'er has said so." ‘
The more Hu Wei really looked at it, the more he liked this girl, and was amused by her answer: "Hehe." You're pretty confident, are you called Niu'er?"
Such a lovely girl, who was so ruthless to make her an orphan.
"Hmm. Niu'er replied, "Yes, brothers and sisters, they all call me Niu'er." ”
Hu Wei asked, "Hehe, Niu'er, can my brother hug you?"
Hu Wei doesn't have any male and female hearts at this time, he just looks at this girl when he is too cute. With a round face, I really want to pinch it.
Niu'er shook her head and pouted, "Don't." ”
Hu Wei was stunned and asked, "Why?"
Niu'er said: "Because you are a boy, Niu'er is a girl." Girls can't just give others a hug. ”
Hu Wei teased Niu'er and said, "In this way, can't you just hold it for a while?"
Niu'er tilted her head and thought for a while, but still shook her head and said, "No." ”
"Is it okay for my sister to hug me?" Hong saw that Hu was deflated, and happily ran to Niu'er's side and asked. This girl is so cute, she wants to hug her too.
For the reason that Niu'er just now, girls can't hug boys casually, and this red is also a girl, so there should be no problem. But Niu'er still shook her head unexpectedly and said, "That's not good." ”
Hong really didn't think about it, and she couldn't succeed, so she couldn't help but hurriedly say: "Sister, can't I? I'm not a boy, can't I hug it?"
Niu'er shook her head and said, "No, Niu'er still has to cook." ”
Hu Wei has been enduring it on the side, he can't help it, and laughed and said: "The girl still has to cook, so I don't have time for you to hug it."
Niu'er, my brother helps you cook, and after eating, are you asking your brother to hug you, okay?"
Niu'er thought about it for a moment and asked, "Then is your cooking delicious?"
Hu Wei swore and said: "Absolutely, I promise." ”
Niu'er's big eyes rolled a few times and said, "Then let's talk about it after eating." ”
"Okay, look at me. Hu Wei rolled up his sleeves and began to take over the children's cooking.
It is said to be cooking, but in fact, these children have no rice. In their half-broken pot, there were some sweet potatoes, some vegetable skins, and some leftovers, and those green ones were actually grassroots.
Hu Wei saw these things clearly, and his tears were about to fall. All of a sudden. He hated Sister Chu Zhu in that girl's mouth. She adopted these children, and it was good. But how could she just leave the child alone and run around on her own. It's a shame that the children still miss her. Hu Wei really wanted to arrest her and beat her **.
There was still some food in the ring, and Hu Wei took advantage of the child's inattention, took it all out and added it to the pot. With Hu Wei's ingredients, the things in this pot look good together. At least it's more eye-catching.
When he wanted to put salt, Hu Wei realized that the salt in the ring turned into light salt water for the soldiers to drink when he was in a hurry for a few days, and he never had time to replenish it.
"Huzi, do you have any salt?" asked Hu Wei casually. As soon as the words came out, Hu Wei regretted it. The Mandala Empire is a 6 inner country, there are no coastal areas, and salt is surprisingly expensive in the south of the empire, not to mention the westernmost part of the empire, which is not surprising compared to gold. How can there be such a valuable thing on the children's bodies.
Huzi heard Hu Wei's words and replied: "There is no more salt left for us by Sister Chu Zhu, and I can use this for this time." Just scrape a little bit and go down, the same as salt. ”
Huzi said, turned out a stone-like thing from his clothes, and handed it to Hu Wei.
Hu Wei took the stone-like thing from Huzi, his heart jumped, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he secretly licked it with his tongue, and his eyes suddenly lit up. ”
"Huzi, come over here. Hu Wei forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart.
"Oh. Huzi is like other children, surrounding Hong, listening to her tell the story of Journey to the West. Just listening to it, Hu Wei screamed for a while, which made him feel a little uncomfortable and reluctant to come.
"Huzi, where did you get this thing?" said Hu Wei, pointing to the stone-like thing in his hand.
At Huzi's age, he may not know what this stone-like thing is. But Hu Wei knew that this was also salt. There are four types of salt, namely sea salt, lake salt, well salt and rock salt, in the first three categories, sea salt is used more, lake salt, well salt is relatively less, but there are also. As for this rock salt, not so many people know about it.
Because this rock salt is very similar to ordinary stones, except for some salt-eating animals, such as goats, which will lick and eat, ordinary people basically don't need to put the stone in their mouths, so many people don't know that this is also a salt.
The reason why Hu Wei knew was because once he and his master went to a mountainous area to treat people. And the people in that place eat this kind of rock salt. He thought it was strange, so he asked someone to play with it, and then a down-and-out physicist saw it and told him what he knew about rock salt.
Huzi was anxious to go over and listen to the story, and replied absentmindedly: "This was dropped from a robber and picked up by me." ”
Hu Wei's heart moved, and he asked, "Where were you at that time?" ”
"Dongmen Street, when the robbers entered the city to rob things, everyone hid in the mountains, and I didn't go. Huzi ran away after speaking. He was worried in his heart about whether the wordy Tang Seng would be eaten, how could he be in the mood to pay attention to Hu Worry.
"East Gate Street, robbers, rock salt. Hu Wei repeated in his heart. He vaguely felt that he should be able to think of something. But those things are spinning in my head, and I refuse to come out.
Suddenly, a name flashed in Hu Wei's mind. Dongmen Street, robbers, rock salt, strictly do not open. Connect these four words together, shuffle them and put them together again. If you put the robbers and Yan Bu together together, then substitute the value of rock salt. An answer gradually surfaced. A lot of things that I couldn't figure out before, I can figure it out.
"Hey, something's mushy. ”
"Wow, it's our meal. ”
"Woo woo, stupid brother cooked our rice, and we don't have anything to eat today. ”
Hu Wei, who was thinking deeply, was awakened by a chaotic sound around him, raised his head a little dazedly, and looked at more than a dozen children, including Huzi and Niu'er, all of them staring at him. The red on the side stood there with a smile instead of a smile.
"What's the matter, kids?" Hu Wei still didn't come back to his senses.
"Brother Villain, you cooked our rice. "Niu'er is the most popular, but she has the loudest voice, and she is the first to denounce Hu Wei.
"Uh" Hu Wei then remembered that he was helping the children cook. When I turned my head, I still didn't look at it, even the pot was boiling, and it was difficult to have anything to eat.
"Oh, I'm sorry, it's my brother's distraction, it's my brother's fault. Faced with the angry eyes of the children, Hu Wei quickly apologized.
Seeing that Niu'er was about to speak angrily, Hu Wei hurriedly said: "I know it's my brother who is wrong this time, I'll accompany you." I'll take you to eat something delicious, okay with chicken rice?"
The children hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and when they heard Hu Wei mention the chicken, their eyes lit up.
Niu'er asked with stars in her eyes, "What is chicken rice, is it delicious?"
Hu Wei pinched Niu'er's face and said with a smile: "Chicken rice is cooked with chicken and rice, it is very delicious, and the fragrance can be smelled across half the street." ”
"Really?" Niu'er swallowed her saliva and asked expectantly, "Then when can we eat?" This cute girl, when she heard that there was chicken rice to eat, she didn't take it to heart while worrying about pinching her face. You must know that she usually hates people pinching her face the most.
Hu Wei stood up and snapped his hands and said, "Now, immediately, immediately, if you want to eat chicken rice, come with me." ”
"Well, yes, can I have two bowls?" said Niu'er.
"You can eat as much as you want, and you can eat enough."
Hu Wei took more than a dozen children back to the barracks of the independent regiment, and asked the firemen in the army to cook for Huzi and Niu'er. Speaking of which, this is the first time Hu Wei has opened a stove in the army. In the past, he used to eat with the soldiers, but this time he made an exception for the sake of the children.
Compared to the information from the children, a meal is nothing. What they sent was the sails of the voyage. Thinking that this cave Wang City was likely to have the most scarce salt in the entire northwest region, Hu Wei's heart was so excited that he almost stopped beating.
However, Hu Wei had to endure the filling of the entire Dongwang City to find rock salt at this time, and there were still two city guards and three town guards on his head at this time, and before he completely controlled the 50,000 troops, Hu Wei did not plan to reveal this news to anyone.
When the chicken rice came up, the children all screamed with excitement. The intoxicating aroma of rice is undoubtedly a temptation for them. Especially Niu'er, her face was flushed with excitement. It's as cute as a doll, it's so cute.
The chicken rice is placed in the center of the table, full of a large pot, which is specially explained by Hu Wei and made according to the amount of adults. The children's eyes were staring at the pot of rice, and they swallowed violently, they really wanted to eat.
But what is touching is that they did not use their hands to grab it, but sat restrained, waiting for the tiger to distribute the food to them one by one. When everyone has food, they don't move.
What a group of well-behaved and sensible angels.
