Chapter 29 Return to the city
"Oh. Sun Jun squinted noncommittally and didn't speak, and after a while, Sun Jun waved his hand: "You go." β
"Yes. Sun Jie bowed and retreated out of the living room, his palms were full of sweat, which showed the oppression that Sun Jun gave him, especially the action of squinting at the end, which made Sun Jie feel bottomless, and there was the depth of Sun Jun's body, even if he pretended to be deep Sun Jie didn't dare to pretend to be it, what if there were other plans?
Wu Acropolis is a small lower city on the border, so his city defense management is extremely lax, and even the guards of the city gate are not regular soldiers, but private soldiers of some forces in the city. Cheng Jin is a native of Wuacropolis, his biggest dream when he was young was to be a swordsman who traveled the rivers and lakes, he could be chivalrous and righteous, and he could hug left and right, and it was best to let his mother hug his grandson to be soft, so he tried his best to worship the nearest Bajian Villa to Wuacropolis, but ten years later, he still achieved nothing, thinking that the old lady who was holding his grandson had died for several years, not to mention hugging left and right, even the white widow in the alley next door thought he was poor and white. But fortunately, the Wang family of Bajian Villa is also a major force in the Acropolis, and the city defense of the Acropolis is managed by the Wang family, of course, the door tax is also collected by the Wang family, and he gave some benefits as a disciple of the Wang family Bajian Villa, and he got this errand with some oil and water.
There are four people at the north gate with Cheng Jin, one of whom is also from Wu Weicheng, who went home to sleep with his wife in his arms, and the other two have not returned to the kiln, which makes Cheng Jin a little lonely in singing a one-man show, not how dedicated he is to guard the city gate, he also wants to hug women and be happy, but it is a pity that he spent all his savings in order to get his current position, and as for women, he only has a spring dream now. The gatehouse guarding the city gate was built in front of the city gate hole, and they urinated at the base of the nearby wall for convenience, and after a long time, there began to be a stench, especially in summer, and the smell was almost immortal.
Smelling this stench and thinking that a few of them were hugging the woman and smelling the fragrance of fat powder, Cheng Jin's heart was unbalanced for a while, and he began to curse them: "Lao Tzu cursed you all to die on the belly of the girl." Cursing, he hung the lantern on a wooden fork in the crack in the wall, and then took off his pants to pee.
"Papapa......" At this time, someone was banging on the city gate, Cheng Jin pouted and rolled his eyes, not planning to pay attention to it. Since he came here to guard the city gate, he has encountered a lot of goods who want to go through the door in the middle of the night, most of them are lonely ghosts, and there are few normal people who don't sleep at this time.
"Papapa......" But today's knock on the door is really persistent, Cheng Jin is still knocking on the door after soaking and peeing, and the impatient Cheng Jin shouted at the door opening: "Hey, hey, hey, don't knock, is it a dead father or a dead mother?" The city gate is not open at night, and you have to enter the city and wait for dawn. β
The people outside the door heard someone talking and shouted urgently: "Brother, don't worry, I have an urgent matter to enter the city, I will pay for the door." The man spoke weakly, as if he was about to fart when he couldn't catch his breath, but who cares? Suddenly, a piece of paper slipped out of the gap at the bottom of the city gate, Cheng Jin picked it up and looked at it under the light and immediately smiled, it turned out to be a deposit ticket of one hundred silver coins, which is like a hungry dog seeing meat and bones for Cheng Jin, who is now poor and crazy, there is really nothing more wonderful than this. But Cheng Jin is a smart guy, he knows that he guards the city gate just to make money, and it is a once-in-a-millennium encounter to meet an uncle like him who is rich and anxious to enter the city, and he is afraid that he will not have this opportunity in the future if he is full, because no one will often knock on the city gate at night to play. So Cheng Jin coughed and said, "This is to be punished for opening the city gate now, I'm very embarrassed." β
The outsider listened to his attitude much better than at the beginning, and understood what he meant, and continued to say weakly: "I still have ......" After speaking, two more deposit tickets were stuffed, Cheng Jin hurriedly picked them up and saw that they were two more deposit tickets of one hundred silver coins. Cheng Jin hurriedly put these deposit tickets into his sleeve, for fear of being seen in the middle of the night. He was in such an excited mood now, with these three hundred silver coins, she still dared to dislike herself, and she would not be able to give birth to a son obediently when the time came. He opened the gate as he thought beautifully, when a man stumbled in from the outside, saying that he was a man because he was standing, not lying on his stomach or floating. The man's hair was messy, his head was lowered, the lights were dim, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, his clothes were dirty and wet with blood, and Cheng Jin was startled when he just came in. But fortunately, the man did not speak when he entered the door, and stumbled away with a spear.
"Amitabha...... Bodhisattva blessed......" Cheng Jin finally closed the city gate and returned to the gatehouse to think about how to talk about him and the White Widow. As for who just put him in the door, he didn't worry about it at all, Wu Acropolis is a small border city, and the chaos here is a place where all kinds of Jiangyang thieves and hooligans like to hide, cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, fish and dragons, it doesn't matter if it's a good person just now, it doesn't matter if it's a bad person, anyway, there is one more, no more, no less.
Tang Feng had insomnia tonight, this is a very rare thing, as a man whose psychological age is about to be forty years old, he was originally a very open-minded person, otherwise he would not have accepted the fact that he had crossed so calmly, plus he had the experience of two worlds, which made him see many things very thoroughly, he felt that no matter what you are going through, whether it is suffering or happiness, you don't have to be too sad or happy, because it is a short experience in a short hundred years of life, the more you experience, the more you experience, the more meaningful life isγ But tonight he always felt that his heart was heavy, and his chest was suffocating, as if something was going to happen, but he had no clue.
Now that it has come to the end of summer, it is like an opponent who is not willing to lose, making the last struggle, but it is not as capable as before. It had just rained during the day today, and the moon and stars in the sky were sparse, as clean as a mirror that had been wiped down. Tang Feng sat at the stone table in the backyard and looked at the starry sky that the world hadn't seen for a long time, stunned, and his mood seemed to be as peaceful as this night sky.
Liu Cripple has been in charge of feeding the horses since he was lame, he is a very respectful person, and he has never made a mistake in feeding the horses for almost 30 years. At night, he wore a robe and carried a lantern to add weeds to the horses, Tang Darthead and the dart team went to Ningyuan City this time to take away a few good horses, and there were only three old horses left.
