Chapter 64: Jinling Again

After watching the sunset in a daze for a while, Li Zhongxuan came back to his senses. It's just that I haven't seen her face for a day, and I already miss her a little in my heart.

After washing, Li Zhongxuan changed into clean clothes and walked back to the room. He was a little hungry and wanted to eat a few more peaches, but the thought of his rumbling stomach made him dismiss.

Lying on the bed, Li Zhongxuan stared out the window blankly. Tomorrow, I have to get up early, and after worshipping my father and mother, I can set off for Jinling.

Although his injuries were still severe, he no longer oozes blood. And it seems that there is still a tendency to scar, and it seems that healing is not far away. Although you can practice wearing your hands every day if you stay here, the stinky sweat is not conducive to the healing of the wound. He still has more than 100 taels of silver given by Ye Tianhao, and he can go to Jinling tomorrow to find an inn to live in. On the one hand, you can take care of your injuries, and on the other hand, you can inquire about the news of the Poison Dragon Gang.

The inn has always been a lot of people, and it's easiest to find out the news. As long as they figure out the various entrances of the Poison Dragon Gang, they will have a headache. By the way, I'm going to eat Chen's meat buns tomorrow, with thin skin and a lot of filling! I just don't know if Uncle Chen's steamed bun shop is closed. In the past, my father and I would come to eat a few every time we went into the city, which were cheap and delicious. Eat a few steamed buns and drink a bowl of salted bean curd, the taste is simply delicious......

Thinking of this, Li Zhongxuan only felt that his stomach began to rumble again, and he thought that he must eat enough when he enters the city tomorrow. No matter how sweet the peaches are, they will have diarrhea! Hurry up and go to sleep, or you'll be even more hungry. Closing his eyes tightly, he was breathing evenly in a few moments.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was still gray, Li Zhongxuan opened his eyes.

Maybe I was too hungry in my stomach, or maybe I missed the taste of Uncle Chen's steamed buns too much, so I woke up so early.

After a while, Li Zhongxuan packed up his bags, stuffed all those bottles and cans into his baggage, and took a few clothes and the silver given by Ye Tianhao.

Li Zhongxuan, who had his bags on his back, came to his parents' graves again.

Li Zhongxuan knelt in front of the grave and kowtowed three times, and then said with a smile: "Father, mother, the child is going out again." This time I didn't go out to take refuge, if today is already the world of the Great Song Dynasty, the world is already peaceful. However, when the child crossed the river, he met the gang of water bandits again, and this time I beat them to the point that they fell into a falling flower. There are still too many injustices in this world, and there are too many bad people, and I went out this time to punish the evil and help the weak. I want to be a hero that everyone admires!"

Li Zhongxuan smiled very confidently: "Father, mother, you can rest assured of my safety." Now my kung fu is amazing, even if I am not an opponent in my fists and feet, it is still easy to run......"

......

Time passed quickly, and before he knew it, the first rays of light in the east had shone on his face.

Li Zhongxuan kowtowed a few more times, then turned around with a smile and walked towards Jinling.

As he walked on the road to Jinling, Li Zhongxuan became silent because he saw that the narrow road was lined with dense weeds. He remembered that a few months ago, the road was littered with severed arms and limbs, snow and blood. The bloodied and pale woman was in a daze as she hugged the man with only half of her body left, and the baby next to her was crying loudly. The still burning branch seemed to appear in front of him again.

He shook his head, trying to get rid of these bad memories in his mind, but how could such a tragic picture be so easily forgotten?

Li Zhongxuan didn't let them discover their existence, and the two of them were far away. I only heard the old man say with a smile: "While the weather is still cool, good grandson, let's go faster." By the time the sun rises a little longer, it will be too hot. ”

The child, who was about six or seven years old, said childishly: "Grandpa, I really can't walk, how long will it take for us to get to Jinling City?" I really want to eat the meat buns from the Chen family's steamed bun shop, you listen to my stomach growling." ”

Li Zhongxuan's ear power was different from before, and although they were forty or fifty meters apart, he still heard the words of their grandfather and grandson clearly. Hearing the child say that his stomach was growling, Li Zhongxuan's stomach also screamed. The meat buns in the Chen family's steamed bun shop are really delicious, with thin skin and a lot of filling, and the price is not expensive. Wait a minute, you must eat three or five drawers of him, otherwise it will be difficult to fill the temple of the five internal organs that has been empty for a long time.

Then the old man replied, "Hahaha...... If you want to eat meat buns, don't you hurry up, wait for grandpa to buy you two big meat buns, and make your little belly round. Work hard, and you'll be in Jinling in four or five miles!"

Li Zhongxuan didn't hear what the child was muttering, but saw him grabbing the corner of the old man's clothes. The steps under his feet were a little faster than before.

Listening to the old man laughing loudly, Li Zhongxuan also laughed very happily.

I still remember that I was like this little boy, following my father around. It's just that he walked much faster than him, if not for anything else, just for those few mouthfuls of steamed buns! Hearing that their destination was not much different from his own, Li Zhongxuan was also happy to follow behind them and listen to the pair of grandchildren chatting.

Listening to the laughter along the way, I just feel that time flies. Happy times are always short-lived, the sun has just risen, and they can already see the Jinling City Gate.

There were also more pedestrians on both sides of the road, including vendors pushing a cart of vegetables and hunters carrying a few pheasants and hares...... More than a dozen soldiers lined up on both sides of the city gate, checking on the people entering and leaving one by one.

Now Jinling has become the orderly Jinling again, and Li Zhongxuan followed behind the pair of grandchildren and waited for inspection.

After a while, it was their turn, and the soldier asked, "Where are you from, and what are you doing in the city?"

The old man smiled and pointed to the sack behind him: "Master Jun, we are from the mountains near here." This time I came to the city to sell some game. My little grandson wants to eat the meat buns in the city, so I'll take him with me!"

The soldier held the spear in his hand and pointed to the sack behind him, motioning for him to open it and take a look.

When the old man saw this, he opened the sack for the soldier to see. He said, "It's just a few pheasants and hares, and they can be sold for some money to supplement the family." ”

I heard the soldier mutter: "There are still a few golden chickens, take them out and let me see." ”

The old man's face was embarrassed, these five-colored tailed golden chickens could be exchanged for several taels of silver, and at this moment, the soldier asked himself to take out these golden chickens, which was obviously uneasy and kind! Rather than being forcibly snatched away, it was better to take the initiative to offer them himself. Immediately squeezed out a smile and replied, "I was about to take out two of them for the military master." As he spoke, he took out two brocade chickens from the bag and handed them to the soldier in front of him.

"I'm asking you to take it out and take a look, not for your golden chicken. The soldier smiled: "But it's rare for you to have such a mind, presumably because we big-headed soldiers are very hard to be exposed to the wind and sun." Since you've said so, I'll laugh it off. As he spoke, he reached out and took the two golden chickens, and then waved his hand at the grandfather and grandson, signaling that they could go in.

Seeing this, the old man and his grandson hurriedly bowed to the soldier, and then walked quickly to the city gate.

So it was Li Zhongxuan's turn.

"What are you doing, what are you doing in the city?" The soldier had just received two golden chickens, and he was in a good mood, so his tone was a little gentle towards Li Zhongxuan.

Li Zhongxuan was very ashamed of this person's approach in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that it was not easy to have more rights and wrongs at this moment, he couldn't help but teach this person a lesson just now. I just thought that the main purpose of my visit this time was the Poison Dragon Gang, and if I offended the people of the government before I entered the city, I am afraid it would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. I can only wait for the people of the Poison Dragon Gang to clean up, and then punish these little officials who scrape the people's fat and ointment.

So he lowered his head slightly and said to this man: "Master Jun, I have come to the city to join my relatives." ”

"Oh, you're here to kiss. The soldier looked at Li Zhongxuan, his face was delicate, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and he looked like a young master. It's just that he is dressed in a plain cyan shirt and carries a gray package on his back, so he really doesn't look like a rich man. So he waved his hand at him and said, "Okay, you can go in." ”

Li Zhongxuan raised his feet and walked over his body towards the city gate.

"Wait, you said you came to join your relatives, where do your relatives live?" The soldier felt that something was wrong, how could a mountain and wild family have such a white face? It should be like the pair of grandchildren just now, with slightly dark skin! At the moment, he was suspicious, and subconsciously asked more.

Li Zhongxuan thought that his lie had been exposed by him, so his head turned sharply, but he really couldn't think of any good answer. In a hurry, he replied: "My relative is the shopkeeper of the Chen family's steamed bun shop, and I came here this time to make a living under him." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be a relative of the shopkeeper of the Chen family's steamed bun shop, and that steamed bun is really good. It's a good idea to make a living there, and the business has been doing well since we came down to Jinling. The soldier nodded, then waved his hand at Li Zhongxuan and said, "Okay, you can go in." ”

When Li Zhongxuan heard this, he walked towards the city gate with his steps quickly, and entered the city gate after a while.

The soldier turned, ready to check on the next person to enter the city. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, a thoughtful look appeared on his face. I saw him pat his head: "I forgot to ask him where he is from, this kid definitely doesn't look like he's here to join his relatives!" So he hurriedly turned around and looked at the city gate, where was Li Zhongxuan's shadow. I saw that he showed a look of chagrin, and said in his heart that he had let go of a big fat sheep with his own hands.
