Chapter 11: Are We Going to the Wrong Door?

After walking for more than half a month, Jingfa and Yao Cai finally arrived in Yangzhou City.

The folk have always had the saying that Yang Yi Yi Yi Er, this Yang is Yangzhou, and its prosperity and richness are said to have surpassed the capital Chang'an.

Yangzhou, it is more appropriate to call it a big city, rather than a city, because it is really crowded.

"This man is a little bit more. Approaching noon, the scorching sun was in the sky, Jing Fa wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, looked at the city gate not far away, and sighed.

"Let's go, don't be stunned, I'm still in a hurry to go to the Qianhua Building to drink." As soon as Jing Fa finished speaking, he was pushed by the person behind him, and he had to slowly move two steps forward.

At this time, he was standing in the middle of a long line of people, and the city gate was still more than 500 meters away from him.

"Lao Cai, what is the situation in Yangzhou City, you have to queue up for such a long time when you enter the city. Jingfa looked up at the sun, estimated the time, and seemed to have been in line for more than half an hour, and then looked behind him, the end of the line had disappeared, and all he saw were dense human heads.

"It takes half a day to enter the city, and half a day to go out of the city, and these people have nothing to do with eating and holding on?"

"Hey, old money, old money. Seeing that Yao Cai, who was standing in front, did not react, Jingfa went to pat him on the shoulder.

It's okay not to shoot, but Jing Fa was startled by the shot, only to see Yao Cai's body weaken and faint directly on the ground.

Jingfa was so shocked that he shouted: "Come on, someone, someone fainted from heat stroke!"

This call caused an uproar in the crowd, and a moment later a squad of officers and soldiers ran over.

The leader of the officers and soldiers stepped forward to hold Yao Cai's pulse, and his brows suddenly furrowed.

At this moment, Jing Fa silently stretched out his index finger to press against a acupoint on Yao Cai's back, and in an instant, Yao Cai's whole body spasmed, foaming at the mouth, and the leader was so frightened that he hurriedly let go of his hand and shouted: "Hurry up, you two don't have to line up, go into the city immediately to find a medical center." ”

"This, Commander Ma, is it a little inappropriate?" said an officer and soldier on the side in a low voice.

"What's inappropriate, do you know what day it is today, the annual Hundred Flowers Banquet in Qianhualou, and ......" The leader suddenly lowered his voice and said to the officers and soldiers, "There is news that a noble person from the court will come to this Hundred Flowers Banquet, if there is anything wrong at this juncture, you and I will have to move our heads, quickly, we must not die here." ”

After hearing the leader's words, the officer and soldier were frightened, and hurriedly helped Jingfa to help Yao Cai up, urging the two of them to enter the city quickly.

Hearing the release of the officers and soldiers, Jing Fa thanked him one after another, carried Yao Cai and walked forward quickly, crossed the flow of more than 500 meters, and passed through the security check at the city gate under the envious gaze of everyone, and smoothly entered the city.

After the two of them left, suddenly, screams and griefs broke out in the team one after another, as if heat stroke would also be contagious, and they all fell to the ground and said that they had heat stroke.

This was followed by the shouts of the officers and soldiers: "Don't pretend to be sick for me, and don't even think about entering the city if you pretend again." ”

But these voices immediately disappeared from Jingfa's ears, because after he carried Yao Cai into the city, he quickly turned into a nearby alley, put Yao Cai on the ground, and tapped the two major acupoints on him twice.

"Ahem, ahem. Yao Cai woke up, coughed violently for two sentences, grabbed Jingfa's neckline, and roared angrily, "His grandfather's, you kid gave me a hard time on the patient, you want my old life!"

"Old Cai, don't pretend, you just wanted to pretend to be sick and fool around, if I hadn't helped you, you would have been in trouble a long time ago. Jing Fa pushed Yao Cai's hand away and said with a smile.

"His grandfather's, nothing can escape your eyes. Yao Cai felt a little bored, stood up straight, touched the acupuncture points that had been stimulated by Jingfa with internal force before, and was still a little numb, so he said angrily, "You kid will do it lightly next time." ”

"Oh, you still want to have a next time, don't you? Jingfa stretched out his index finger and sneered.

"Don't don't, no next time, definitely no next time, hurry up, hurry up and get down to business. Yao Caitou didn't reply, and hurriedly ran out of the alley.

Out of the alley, the two found that the road was full of traffic, and the river was endless, thinking that no wonder they had to queue up in a long way to enter the city.

The two had only heard of the prosperity of Yangzhou before, but they didn't expect it to be so prosperous, as if people from all over the country were crowding here.

Thinking that there were so many people, it might make it difficult for the two of them to find the location of the Washomon, Jingfa hurriedly took out the address left by the man in black that day, and caught a person on the way and began to ask.

In the process of asking for directions, they learned that although Yangzhou was prosperous in the past, it was not as crowded as today, and today, they happened to meet the annual Hundred Flowers Banquet of the famous fireworks holy land in Yangzhou City, and the annual Hundred Flowers Banquet will gather all over the country at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, which can be described as a bright flower bloom, beautiful and delicious, which attracts people within a radius of hundreds of miles will gather in Yangzhou on this day to watch the feast. Moreover, today's Hundred Flowers Banquet is different, because there will be a peerless beauty will appear, which will stimulate everyone's enthusiasm even more, it is said that even Chang'an, Luoyang and other places thousands of miles away, there are many dignitaries and nobles who will come overnight, just to see its beauty.

For women, Yao Cai and Jingfa were not interested, so they didn't pay attention to it after listening, causing the person they asked for directions to think that these two men were abnormal, and then looked closely at the two of them hooking shoulders and backs, and their intimate attitudes suddenly gave birth to goosebumps.

"Your address is in the west of the city, so you can find it. The man hurriedly pointed the way, and then ran away without looking back, dusting off his body as he ran, as if he had glued something disgusting to Jingfa and the others.

"Inexplicable" After the two muttered, they followed the man's point, and finally squeezed a crack in the crowd and successfully reached their destination.

This is a big mansion, and the plaque at the door of the house reads three big characters: "Sitongtang." ”

The two of them dressed up and were about to enter, when they suddenly saw a fat man running on the side, holding a wooden comb in his hand, and handed it to the middle-aged man standing at the door of Sitongtang, and said: "Please send this comb to Liu Qing, No. 46, Tongmu Lane, Suzhou, and the sender will write: Love your fat forever." ”

As he spoke, the fat man took out a piece of broken silver and said, "This is the freight plus the insurance fee, don't lose it." ”

"Don't worry, Sitongtang, the courier housekeeper around you, is accessible, safe, reliable and timely. As he spoke, the man first pointed to the word "Sitong" printed on the front of the clothes, and then pointed to the word "Bada" printed on the back, and then made a V posture with his right hand.

After handing over the comb and the broken silver, the fat man left satisfied.

But leaving Jingfa and Yao Cai with their mouths wide open, dumbfounded.

The two looked up at the three words "Sitongtang" on the plaque, looked at the note in their hands again, and after repeatedly checking the address, they said in unison:

"Old Cai!"

"Xiaofa!"

"Are we going to the wrong door?"
