Zheng County belongs to Yuzhou, and Yuzhou lives next to Zhongzhou. The land plates of the two continents are closely integrated, and the mountains and rivers are interdependent. As an ordinary county in Jiuzhou, Zheng County is no different from other counties, and it is a county under the state capital.

The only special feature of Zheng County may be that it is adjacent to the border with Luoyang City, the capital of Jiuzhou. A cloth with water, and a river of water. Luoyang City is upstream, and Zheng County is downstream, and although they are close to each other, they belong to different continents. A large river runs through the county, and the tributaries are densely packed on the river, and the boats come and go, and the noise is extraordinary. The people of Zheng County usually go to the street to buy, and most of them take a boat, take it upstream, go to the boundary near Luoyang City, get off the boat and walk to Luoyang City, and buy and have fun. The people of the two places have close contacts, and marriages are even more frequent.

Half a month ago in the morning, the ferries on both sides of the big river in Zheng County had already gathered some people. There are three or five breakfast shops on the edge of the ferry, and some residents who need to take a boat are enjoying steamed buns and porridge water at the breakfast shops.

At the turn of spring and summer, the temperature gradually rises, everyone wears not thick, a simple long shirt cover, a steaming bowl of white porridge under the belly and forehead immediately sweat.

It was still early in the morning, and the ship had not yet left the dock, so those who needed to get on the boat were not in a hurry. Sitting in the breakfast shop, chatting with the owner of the shop.

"Lao Litou, business has been good recently, so many tables of guests. If the shop near the ferry belongs to your family's business, I have to come over almost every day, and you don't say that you will give a discount and send a bowl of rice wine?"

A lean middle-aged man finished eating the buns, the porridge had not moved, touching his round belly, smashing his mouth, as if he was still unsatisfied, and couldn't help but ridicule Lao Litou, the owner of the bun shop.

When Lao Li heard this, he didn't defend himself. Hey hey Naoku...... At first glance, it is an honest and conscientious businessman.

Then he took over and asked rhetorically.

"It's not as good as your boss Wang, who goes to Luoyang City every day to purchase. I returned to our Zheng County, sold it, doubled, and didn't make a lot of money that day. I can't afford a discount in this small business, so Boss Wang doesn't want to make fun of me. ”

After saying this, Lao Li Tou sincerely apologized.

Boss Wang laughed, and the people on the side couldn't help but look sideways.

As if he suddenly remembered something, Lao Li put down his hand to wrap the bun and wiped his hands on the apron. turned around and walked to the back room, and after a while, he strode to Boss Wang's table with a clay pot and bottle.

Put the clay pot on the table and pretend to be heroic.

"The good wine sent by the son-in-law of the second child in Luoyang City, the little old man has nothing to sip twice, there are still two or two left, I was going to keep it for the New Year, since Boss Wang opened his mouth, I can't discount it, so I will take this bottle of wine instead." ”

Boss Wang was quite surprised, it was originally a joke to pass the boring time of waiting for the ship. Who knew that Old Man Li was still serious, it was really an accident. Who in Shili and Eight Villages didn't know that there was an old Li Tou who had a breakfast shop at the ferry in Zheng County, and this sudden generosity made him at a loss.

After a while, he no longer hesitated, picked up the bowl of tea and poured half a bowl, smashed his mouth, and tasted it silently.

Lao Li Tou's sudden delivery of wine stabbed the hornet's nest, and the other guests on the side stopped doing it all at once, patting the table and complaining.

"Old Li Tou, how can there be such a thing as you? We must also give a discount, otherwise we will not come to your house in the future. ”

was originally impulsively sending wine, but Lao Li Tou was already annoyed in his heart, and he was depressed on the side. Who knew that so many people asked for a discount, Lao Li Tou was completely panicked, he didn't know how to deal with it, he opened a few mouths, his face was flushed, and he just couldn't speak.

When Lao Li Tou was thinking about the intersection of heaven and man, silently thinking about countermeasures, an exclamation relieved him.

"Wow...... What kind of person is that?" exclaimed a man who was standing by the river without breakfast.

This attracted the attention of everyone in the steamed bun shop, and everyone walked out of the breakfast shop one after another with the sound, raised their legs and walked towards the place where the sound came from.

The bun shop is not far from the place where the sound comes from, and it is scattered according to the ferry. It didn't take long for everyone to come to the ferry.

"Where?"

Someone couldn't help but babble.

The first person to notice the abnormality stretched out his finger and pointed at Hanoi.

The sky was already bright, and the field of vision was unobstructed, so it didn't affect the view, and following the direction of his finger, everyone turned their heads to look into the river.

I saw a humanoid thing slowly floating over in the upper reaches of the river, but it just seemed. As for why it seems to be, it's because the humanoid creature in the water doesn't look like a human. It lay on its back on the surface of the river and went down the river, because the distance was not far, and everyone could see it clearly. It was ragged, perhaps not clothes, but a strip of cloth, hanging on its body, swinging around with the current, swollen all over, and the wounds were covered in the surface, already inflamed. In particular, the facial features are completely indistinguishable, so this is what makes everyone hesitate.

Despite their doubts, someone took out the tools to retrieve the body and pulled the humanoid creature on the surface of the river to the shore.

It wasn't until they paddled to the shore and got out of the water that everyone saw clearly, and it turned out that this was really a person.

A bold little man stepped forward and sniffed.

"Ah...... There is breathing, it is alive. ”

The man was surprised.

Hearing this, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and silently retreated. It's hard to be a good person these days, and who knows if this kind of picture can be cured. If the treatment is not good, it will not only take effort but also cost money, and if this person's family sues the yamen because of this, it will be worth the loss to treat you for the crime of careless disregard for human life. If you have nothing to do, you can make a fuss, and you are kind enough to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs. On the contrary, if you are healed, your temperament is unknown, and if you bite you back, you will be unreasonable.

Everyone had their own worries and retreated. Unwilling to put this matter on the table, only Lao Li did not move his steps at this time.

Seeing everyone retreating, Lao Li was a little distressed. He couldn't figure it out, if everyone in this world only cares about sweeping the snow in front of their door, he doesn't like this kind of world, he doesn't like it, he doesn't like it very much.

So when the others retreated without hesitation, he stepped forward without hesitation.

"Come over and take the lead, right?"

Lao Li Tou quickly pushed out the rack cart from the bun shop, and said while pushing the cart.

The crowd was willing to help, and in the end, with the help of everyone, the humanoid creature was successfully put on the cart.

In the end, Lao Li Tou closed the door of the store, and walked away with difficulty pushing the frame car.
