Chapter Ninety-Five: The Fish That Sheds Tears

Dengzhou. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The state city is three feet high, and the heavy breath of history is precipitated in the wind and rain.

There are a few soldiers standing in the city gate cave where people come and go, these soldiers are not wearing armor, and in the hot summer, they are wearing standard soldiers' red jackets, looking listless.

There are even soldiers with knives and spears who take turns looking for shade in the corners of the wall, yawning lazily and bragging.

Occasionally, a few horse-drawn carts pushing wheelbarrows and pulling goods were stopped by the soldiers guarding the city gates, who searched them at random, and then cursed and collected some commercial taxes.

Dengzhou coastal sea, salt, tea, cloth, seafood...... Business is prosperous and thriving.

Lu Bei watched this scene silently, and his heart was flooded with layers of waves.

If he hadn't cultivated the Dao, he might have been rolling around in the red dust like the vast array of beings in front of him.

There may be a very small number of people in the dust who can live a life of peace and joy, tranquility and self-sufficiency.

But more often than not, it was exploited by the court officials and the fraud of the ruffians.

Thinking of this, his cold eyes faintly turned into a pale golden color, and his expression was shining, and Zhen Ran was divine.

He could see white gas and red clouds of smoke, like dragons and snakes, hovering over these small people, peddlers and pawns.

People's hearts are turbid, and red dust is rolling.

"It's a pity that you can't see cause and effect. ”

Lu Bei muttered.

After all, he is not an immortal true immortal, and he can gain insight into cause and effect.

In fact, there are many Dao True Immortals in the Three Realms who have turned into woodcutters, hunters, and fishermen in the mortal world of this world...... Hongchen refines the heart and realizes the Tao.

The four seasons, the rotation of the sun and the moon, the vicissitudes of life, and the changes of the years are all changes in the way of heaven. But in the midst of the dust in the market, there are humane changes.

And the way of heaven and humanity are all in the avenue.

Lu Bei shook his head and smiled, no longer thinking about these lofty things.

casually hung the green jade gourd on his waist, and followed the bustling crowd in front of him into Dengzhou City.

Dengzhou City extends in all directions, and the carriages and horses flow endlessly.

Lu Bei does not probe with his own thoughts, nor does he ask others.

Instead, with his extraordinary eyesight, he swept the shops on both sides of the street one by one, and leisurely followed the layout of the streets of this era to slowly find the taverns in the state city.

Along the way, you may see in the bookstore, three or three of the green-shirted scholars, talking loudly; or in front of the pawnshop, the shabby-clothed farmer, rubbing his hands and hesitating; or in the cloth line, young women and young ladies wearing jinghai cloth skirts and swaying with golden flowers picking and choosing; or seeing a few young children with pigtails playing games on the bluestone steps of several blue-tiled courtyards. The cheerful laughter like strings of silver bells spread far away in the noisy but warm afternoon city...... The hearts of the people are full of laughter, and they all outline a humane picture of an ordinary country in the southern part of the continent.

Lu Bei pressed the sword and walked unhurriedly, his expression was silent, and his eyes did not squint, but if he looked closely, there was a little confusion in those cold eyes.

Until the aroma of wine reached his nose, Lu Bei smiled faintly.

Lu Bei looked up and saw a tavern sandwiched between two tall buildings, separated by a long alley from another courtyard full of bayberry.

The building on the left is a three-story wooden building, and several wind chimes on the cornices of the corner are gently swaying in the wind, making bursts of pleasant and crisp bells.

Listening to the noisy movement of diners guessing and punching in front of you, there is no doubt that it is a restaurant.

And the burst of pure fragrant wine in the tavern can be smelled from afar.

Lu Bei smiled and slowly walked towards the wine in front of him.

At that time, a sneaky petite figure suddenly came out of the alley and passed by Lu Bei, but Lu Bei didn't care.

In the midst of the wine.

The young man smiled: "Guest officer, three catties and seven taels of Xinghua Village, the cashier is two taels or three dollars, Chenghui." ”

While handing the gourd to the unsmiling cold young man in front of him, the young man had doubts in his heart.

Xin Dao, how can a green jade gourd in this person's hand that is obviously not big enough to hold wine like this.

It's weird, weird.

Lu Bei took the green jade gourd, nodded with satisfaction, and was about to touch the bag on his waist, his expression changed slightly, and his eyes flashed coldly several times.

As soon as this guy saw Lu Bei stretching out his hand to grab the air, his smile instantly froze on his face, and he smiled dryly: "Guest officer, you won't forget to bring money, right?" ”

Lu Bei smiled faintly and said in a deep voice: "That's not it. ”

Saying that, Wu Zizi took a silver ticket from his arms, and the face value of the silver ticket was not too big, but it was only ten taels.

It is worth mentioning that the front of the silver ticket is printed with various moire patterns, but the back clearly has a clear spring, and several five-petal lotus flowers are floating in the water.

It was when Lu Bei created the Huanhua Sword Pavilion in the past that he ordered his subordinates to print out the silver tickets.

As long as you rely on this silver ticket, you can exchange silver taels in the major money houses of the Huanhua Sword Pavilion.

The reason for doing this is that it is impossible for Guy Lubei to exterminate the bandit Xiangma when he has no money.

Even though the land of ancient Qingzhou has always been full of horse bandits, it can't stand the perennial sweep like a plow sweeping grate comb.

Of course, some shops made a living by him in combination with his previous life, and Lu Bei naturally proposed something similar to a check in his previous life.

However, it is a pity that until now, Lu Bei still has not felt any Xuanhuang merits falling from the sky.

It seems that this kind of financial means, although it shows the progress of social civilization, is not immeasurable.

After all, it is not a gold and silver standard currency, but a credit currency.

Seeing that Lu Bei took out the silver ticket, the guy was busy changing his smile at this time and said: "Look at the outfit of the son, the little one knows that the son has not been like a broken house on credit for a long time......"

Lu Bei didn't want to listen to this guy's flattering words anymore, reached out to take this guy's change, and walked outside.

Standing under the tree for a long time, his eyes became amused for a while.

Xin Dao, under the nose of his Yuan Shen Dao, can quietly take away his money bag, but he has some ability.

Lu Bei's figure flashed, and he followed the divine thought on the money bag and went to a place.

In front of a stall selling small items such as flower hubs, windmills, and wood carvings.

The merchant of this stall is surnamed Zhang, and his name is Zhang Laohan.

At this time, Zhang Laohan had a long-standing old face, and the folds were smiling a flower.

In front of me is a girl carved in pink, twelve or thirteen years old, holding a sugar gourd in her left hand at the moment, and her mouth is constantly stuffed.

Wearing a pink sleeved skirt, her figure is petite and cute, less than one meter three or four tall, and a pair of big eyes are like a clear spring gurgling back and forth.

Stretching out the lotus root arm that deceived the frost and snow, the soft right hand picked up a flower drum on the stall and shook it from side to side.

Zhang Laohan said with a smile: "Big girl, if you like this flower hub, you will take it, and grandpa will sell it to you cheaply." ”

The little girl smiled sweetly, "How much is that?"

"A tael of silver. No, a tael and a half penny. ”

Zhang Laohan's throat rolled, swallowed and spit, and grinned.

Xindao, this girl doesn't know which official lady she is, and she doesn't know the price of the goods. It was the one who sold sugar gourds before...... Five sugar gourds earned six taels of silver.

"That'...... This one...... What about windmills. ”

The little girl took another bite of the sugar gourd, and her mouth was full of sugar, and she stretched out her little fragrant tongue and licked her lips, vaguely speaking.

"One tael or six pieces of silver...... It's ...... altogether."

"I know this, one or two five dollars plus one or two or six dollars...... It's five taels of silver, isn't it?"

The little girl stretched out her fingers like onion tubes, and counted them one by one for a long time, but she raised a pink and snowy little face, and smiled lightly.

Two pear-shaped dimples quietly emerged on the little face of the white and red.

"Yes, yes......"

Old Man Zhang's mouth was crooked when he smiled.

"Well, I'll give you the money. ”

The little girl took a silver ingot from a plain bag and handed it to Zhang Laohan.

Lu Bei looked at this scene from afar, somewhat crying and laughing.

Coughing heavily, he transmitted his voice with divine thoughts, and said coldly: "Bold evil dragon, it's not ...... yet"

Before Lu Bei finished speaking, as soon as the girl heard the transmission of this divine thought, she turned her face and glanced at Lu Bei quickly, and ran away in a hurry.

And after running out a few steps, it seemed that he had forgotten that the phoenix car and the flower hub had not been taken, so he picked up the flower drum and ran again.

This time, I didn't even bother to pick up the plain tips that fell on the ground.

Zhang Laohan saw the plain brocade bag falling on the ground, faintly emitting a dazzling light, looked left and right a few times, and quietly stepped forward to pick it up.

Lu Bei took a mana and put the money bag in his palm, and then as if he was in the wind, in a few flashes, he seemed to chase after the dragon slowly.

This money really can't be picked up by this merchant, it's just a way to get into trouble.

The merchant thought he was doing something hidden, but when he was investigating, he clearly saw that there were a few young people who looked like idlers at the window on the second floor of the street, and they had noticed everything that was happening here.

At that time.

Ao Xi's pretty face the size of a palm was flushed, and her big eyes were full of panic.

The heart is broken.

I took advantage of the chaos in the Dragon Palace to sneak out, and I must have been discovered by my father. That's when he sent someone to arrest me...... Well, that's not right...... It's all my fault, how did I take that Taoist's money bag.

Ao Xi panicked, and he was reluctant to lose the flower drum in his hand, not wanting to rush to an alley just now.

A big man with a hat carrying two buckets of water walked out of the alley leisurely.

Caught off guard, Ao Xi knocked down the wooden barrel full of water that poked out and fell to the ground.

Most of the bucket full of water was splashed on Ao Xi's body.

Ao Xihua's face was pale, and she was so frightened that she didn't bother to apologize to the big man with an iron face, so she ran out of the city.

It's broken, it's really broken this time...... Without the Dragon Balls, we have to go back to the sea as soon as possible.

Ao Xi thought like this in his heart, and his steps were faster, like a gust of wind, but he still felt that the mana in his body was getting weaker and weaker......

Outside Dengzhou.

In the distance is the East China Sea, where the blue waves are endless.

A golden carp was covered with scales, scattering colorful light, lying on the beach without moving, its mouth open and closed.

At that time, a fisherman with a sad face and a disappointed expression came from afar.

He muttered to himself: "I didn't catch a single fish this time, and I don't know how to suffer from the tigress's noise when I go back." ”

"Hey, this is ......"

The fisherman was overjoyed, and rushed over with an excited expression, and said in surprise: "God has opened my eyes, this can stew a big pot of fresh fish soup......"

Hurriedly took out a straw rope from his waist, and was about to pass the golden big carp in front of him.

However, the long red whiskers of the big golden carp trembled slightly, and the big eyes were full of crystal tears.

"Father, come and save Xi'er, Xi'er is going to be stewed and eaten......"

"Old gentleman, five taels of silver, how about buying your fish?"

At this time, suddenly a clear voice came from afar along with the warm summer sea breeze.
