Chapter 3 Anthill
It was not the first time that the owner of the melon cart had come to the county town to sell his goods, and he had no concern for the three county officials who had galloped by, as long as the purpose was not his money bag, his cart and his melons, and he had paid twenty cents of the entry tax to the soldiers guarding the city for his melon cart outside the city gates - no wonder some of the owners of the orchards were willing to peddle their goods in the countryside - and a few of the largest and best melons, but it was only after passing through the gates that his expression became serious and nervous.

His nervousness is not without reason, in Zhou Huairen's memory, the area around the north gate of the county seat is the most depressed in the city. The most desolate place, most of the people who live here are coolies, a small number of craftsmen, their income cannot support the lively restaurant, and there is no river outside the north gate that can be used for boats, so although the streets here are paved with pebbles taken from the river beach like the lively south gate, there are few shops on both sides, and there are few pedestrians on the streets, which is what Zhou Huairen knows, and now Hua Lin sits on the low melon cart and sees more than Zhou Huairen.
More malicious looks.
These eyes are not very visible to Zhou Huairen with an armed entourage, a drunk man with a bare chest and belly standing on the side of the road with a broken wine jug, he seems to be about to fall on the melon cart, but the owner of the melon cart has already been prepared, he deftly pushed the cart to avoid it in advance, followed by a blind man with unsteady steps, and also held an "iron mouth straight off" The owner of the melon cart still managed to avoid it with his superb driving skills, and then a stall with very few goods, which was greatly supported in the middle of the road, and a few fierce men with cross-faced faces as guards and patrons, and all its goods were just a few incredibly ugly clay pots, Hua Lin estimated that it would be difficult to find customers in Jiming Village, especially one of them, which obviously relied on a handful of wet river mud to keep his head from separation. However, after this crockpot smashed it into the melon cart again because of the person holding it, I am afraid that a handful of river mud will not be able to make up for it!
"This crockpot is worth ten silver!" the stall owner jumped out like a whirlwind and shouted: "Your car has damaged my ancestral treasure, so say what to do!"
Who would put the ancestral treasure in the middle of the road, but the other two big men who didn't know whether they were the patrons or the guards also clamoured: "We are all witnesses and acquaintances, so we will pay the owner the package in your car!"
"Package?" said the owner of the melon cart unfamiliarly, "I don't have a package." ”
"You thief...... Where did the baby go?"
"It seems that I ran away with the dysentery head Agui. A big man next to him said.
"Huh, bald fourth, don't think about eating this alone!" the stall owner scolded hatefully, the bald fourth is the owner of a nearby alley, this does not mean that he has the property rights of that alley in the official face, but that no one has competed with him for the sovereignty of that alley for the time being. A poor alley where there is not even a prostitute, four or five children with dysentery and a noble head, this is all the power of the bald old four, even in the desolate north gate, there are few gang forces who can see such a pitiful profit, they prefer to occupy a part of the street and extort the hawkers who enter the city, the income is much higher than extorting a few coolies living in the alley, so this time they are just talking, and no one even moves their feet on the melon cart, which makes the owner of the melon cart feel distressed.
Dysentery Ah Gui knew that he had good luck today, like all children who are often hungry, his eyes were very good, and the melon was tempting, but it was someone else's bag, and he could only touch a damn belly at most, and the little girl in the car - unlike the rough men who patronized and stared at the package, he could see that she was wearing a flower dress, not very old, without patches, and it was worth several meals, not to mention the package she was holding tightly, how many valuable things would be in it?
Therefore, when the others were playing around the owner of the melon car, he saw the opportunity and dragged the frightened little girl and ran!
"Follow me, hide. The soft girl followed him without resistance, of course, of course, it should be safer to hide in the side alley with a child of the same age than to be surrounded by a few fierce men.
Next, it was how to persuade her to follow him to the bald fourth child's house, he knew that this had to be coaxed and intimidated: "Your package is too heavy, get it for me." ”
The girl nodded obediently.
As soon as he took the package, the dysentery head Agui's heart immediately moved: "Not good!" This package is too light, and it doesn't weigh at all! Is it all air?
And that well-behaved, soft girl has already pounced on her with a sly smile!
