Chapter 164: Give Money

(Ask for subscription, ask for automatic subscription!)

The situation suddenly changed, and the emperor died. The undercurrent in the capital is turbulent, and it has become a place of right and wrong, and it is not suitable to stay for a long time.

Helplessly, the weather is cold, the climate is harsh, and it is very difficult to rush at this time. The weak are hardly able to withstand it. As a last resort, some new science and technology scholars can only hide in the inn and live a hard life, and they will have to wait for the New Year before they can leave Beijing and return to their hometowns.

But there are also some people who choose to leave as soon as possible. They sat in the carriage, with charcoal fires for warmth, and servants to serve them, and they were not afraid of the cold.

Some people left and some stayed, and Chen Tang's departure from Beijing, just like when he entered Beijing, was undisturbed and did not cause any movement.

He got ready, put a book on his back, got into a carriage rented by a carriage in the capital, and quietly left the capital.

After passing through the building, passing through the mausoleum city, the wind and rain were combined, and the carriage was changed in the middle, and the money was spent like flowing water.

Along the way, although it is not full of devastation, it is very depressed, there are many displaced people, and there are not a few people who die on the roadside. It can be seen that people's livelihood has withered and struggled, and it has reached a level that cannot be ignored.

It's just that above the temple, now there is a fight, who cares about the life and death of the people at the bottom?

As a person who has come over, Chen Tang understands the turbulent law of the situation in the world. The current situation is like a powder keg full of gunpowder, and if you are not careful, it will explode with a bang.

But there was nothing he could do about it.

Time flies, and the New Year passes in a rush, and I don't feel it at all.

At the beginning of spring, the ice and snow are beginning to melt, and there are new shoots spitting green.

On this day, he had returned to the boundary of Yuruo County and rushed to Xinbai Town.

Chen Tang has it in his pocket, but it has dried up so badly, and there is more than ten dollars left.

When he arrived outside the town, the coachman put him down and left in a hurry, and for the rest of the journey, Chen Tang could only rely on his own legs.

His plan was to stay in Yuruo County for a while. After all, it was in this area that I entered the first school.

This is a very important clue, at this time, Chen Tang hopes that Song Siming will take the initiative to show up, so as not to make him find a way.

At noon, hungry in his stomach, Chen Tang thought about going into the town to eat a bowl of noodles to warm his stomach. However, he is now shy, and the inn is difficult to live in. If it is feasible to show his identity and show his fame, but Chen Tang is unwilling to do so.

He has martial arts and is used to coming and going, so he can get by, so why bother to ask someone to take him in?

Step now and walk into the town. As he walked, he looked around and frowned.

He felt the change in the town, a change that was defeated, broken, and uneasy.

I remember the last time I was here, the time of early summer, the sun was warm. Although after coming in, I met the Qian family for a funeral, but at that time, the town was lively and prosperous.

Now, walking on the street, it is deserted. Some of the shops on both sides were either closed or sitting in an old man's house, leaning listlessly on the edge of the house, with gray hair and wrinkled faces, looking sad.

Two exchanges, less than a year apart, how did it become like this?

Soon, Chen Tang came to the door of the Yunlai Inn.

With a bang, one person was thrown out and fell to the ground solidly.

Immediately, the two men pounced, and hit the man like a rain of fists and feet, and while beating, they scolded: "What a poor sour, I have no money and still want to eat, look for a fight!"

The man was a scholar, thin and weak, and had no backhand, so he could only desperately hold his head and beg for mercy.

Chen Tang couldn't see it, and said: "Please stop, you two, if you have something to say, why do you have to beat people to death?"

A man, with a fierce face, glared at Chen Tang, and shouted, "What's the matter, you want to be chivalrous?"

kicked the weak scholar again, and then stopped with his partner and walked back to the inn.

After many punches and kicks, the scholar was in pain and his face was bloody. He was stiff, barely stood up, and hurriedly cleaned up the worn-out books that had been thrown to the ground, as well as some pen and ink and other things.

Seeing this, Chen Tang sighed and walked into the store. Looking around, I saw that the layout of the interior had not changed, but the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper had all changed. It's a meal at the moment, but the popularity is deserted, and no one eats.

Thinking about the calamity of the midwinter season, it is not surprising that this side may also be affected, and it is not surprising that it has become depressed.

Chen Tang said: "Shopkeeper, come to a bowl of clear soup noodles." ”

Not long after, a man who had been beating someone just now came up with a bowl of noodles and landed heavily on the wooden table, making a muffled sound.

I saw this noodle, the bowl was not small, but there was only half a bowl of soup in it, and the number of noodles was countable, not enough for two bites, and one by one, it was very stiff, and it was not cooked well at all. The soup is also very bad, with patches of black things floating, I don't know if the pot has not been washed, or dirty water has been used.

Reaching out and touching the bowl, it was cold.

"Fifty dollars, give the money quickly. ”

The man clasped his hands and said in a rough voice.

Chen Tang smiled suddenly, looked up at him, and said with a smile: "You give it to me?"

The man was stunned for a moment, his brain suddenly turned a little unturned, and he said viciously: "You kid, don't talk nonsense, do you want to eat the overlord meal?

Seeing Chen Tang, he was clear and delicate, although he had more meat than the previous one, but a scholar was a scholar, even if there were four or five more, it was not enough for a beating.

Chen Tang shook his head, understanding what happened to the scholar outside. This Yunlai Inn has turned into a black shop, which is really surprising. Could it be that the Qian family is poor and crazy, or maybe Qian is nervous?

He stood up, his book on his back, and wanted to leave.

"Wow, it's really another person who doesn't pay for food!"

The man smiled cruelly, he was already used to doing this, and stretched out his big hand and grabbed Chen Tang's head.

Syllable!

There was a crunch.

Chen Tang grabbed it with his backhand, his face was cold: "Do you want to do it?"

"Dare to fight back!"

Seeing this, the other man jumped up, strode up, and punched him.

"Get out!"

Chen Tang was furious, and flew up with a kick that hit him in the chest. Flying a foot away, he smashed a wooden table and fell to the ground, humming so much that he couldn't get up.

When this scene happened, the shopkeeper who was planning to make a plate over there was taken aback, and hurriedly walked out with a smile on his face: "Misunderstanding, Childe misunderstood!"

grabbed it in his hand and took out fifty coins very happily: "This money is for the son." ”

At this time, the man who was grabbed by Chen Tang's wrist was already in pain and cold sweat was pouring out of his face.

"Humph!"

Chen Tang unceremoniously shook his hand to collect the money and strode out of the inn.

The man bared his teeth and said in a low voice, "Shopkeeper, why did you really send him money?"

The shopkeeper slapped him in the face: "Idiot, what do you know? Go and tell your lord and send someone over. These outsiders dare to spread wild in Xinbai Town, and they are really impatient. ”

"Good!"

The man hurriedly ran out the back door.
