Chapter 46: The Beggar

Since Fang Zhongjin and Lu'er left Hangzhou, they continued to set off all the way to Ninghai. Zhejiang has been the land of fish and rice since ancient times, with abundant products and prosperous people. Even the Battle of Jingjing did not come here. It can be said to be the richest and most peaceful place in the whole of China.

Lu'er has never left the capital since she was born, and at this time, she is really like a bird out of the cage and feels strange to see anything. Fang Zhongjin pointed out all the way and said some interesting things. The two of them didn't rush to stop and go like this, and they really felt that everything was fine on the road.

But when I went to the vicinity of Jinhua, I felt that there were more and more flowers on the road. Every time you walk out of the road, you can see groups of three or five called flower children gathered together, either bored and lying under the shade of the tree, or several people get together to roll the dice, and see passers-by coming and not begging.

Lu'er asked Fang Zhongjin strangely: "Brother Jin, I heard that Jinhua is also a big place, why are there so many beggars gathered here?

Fang Zhongjin didn't understand the reason, he also passed by Jinhua when he returned to his hometown last year, and remembered that Jinhua was a rich and prosperous place. How could a year pass, and there are so many more Hanako?

Fang Zhongjin observed for a moment and said, "I see that these called Huazi are all strong and strong, and they don't seem to be famine victims. If someone passes by on the road, they don't beg, maybe they are martial arts people from the beggar gang, right?"

Lu'er stuck out his tongue when he heard this, and said, "If it's really a martial arts person, we don't want to attract attention." In case of any incident, we don't know when we will be able to go to Ninghai. ”

Fang and Lu finally rushed to the gate of Jinhua County before the sun went down, but they saw that a group of people called Huazi gathered densely outside the city gate. Look at these called Hanako are all strong adult men, although the clothes are ragged but menacing, there are always hundreds of people. They obviously couldn't enter the city, so they had to sit on the ground at the gates.

Fang Zhongjin pulled the deer carefully through the pile of flowers, and finally came to the city gate. He raised his head and shouted into the city gate, "Big brother in the city, open the door." We are ordinary passers-by, and we want to go to the city to join our relatives. ”

It wasn't long before a soldier stood at the gate and looked down. Seeing that Fang Zhongjin and Lu'er were beautiful and clean young men and women, he shouted to them, "Is there a way?"

Lu'er hurriedly took out two roads from his arms and shook them in mid-air.

The soldier nodded and said, "It's not peaceful here, come to Xicheng." We'll put the basket and pull you up. ”

Fang Zhongjin didn't understand why there were so many flowers gathered here, and he didn't understand why Jinhua County didn't dare to open the city gate as if it was facing a great enemy. If ordinary good people want to enter the city, they need to find a remote place to sit in a basket and hang into the city gate. But the two of them still walked to the west of the city as they were told.

One of the leading figures who had been gathering on the side heard this and glanced at the other Hanako on the side. Hanako on the side nodded, and ordered a few people to follow the leader far behind Fang Zhongjin and them.

Sure enough, when Fang Zhongjin went around to the west of the city, he saw a huge rattan basket slowly put down on the city wall. Fang Zhongjin asked Lu'er to step into the basket first. Unexpectedly, a powerful man called Hanako rushed out of the oblique thorn. He grabbed the rattan basket with one hand and shouted to the soldiers on the city tower: "Why can these two babies enter the city and not let our brothers in?"

The soldiers on the upper floor of the city did not lose at all, and shouted to the flower child: "These two babies are white and clean, and they are dressed decently and beautifully. So I'm happy to let them in, uncle. You are filthy, ugly, and stinking, and I won't let you in. If you are not convinced, hurry up and reincarnate again!"

The flower child was angry and shouted to the castle tower: "The stinky soldier is full of oil." It is really a dog that looks down on people, and only recognizes clothes but not people. When we go back and change into clean clothes and go into the city, the first thing we do is to cut you stinky soldiers!"

At this moment, several more beggars came and stretched out their hands to hold the rattan basket. Everyone cursed hatefully, and for a while, foul language spread all over the sky. Some Hanako scolded so hard that they spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground.

Not to be outdone, the soldiers upstairs scolded back: "You stinky flowers, even if you put on dragon robes, you still have the face of a leper dog." ”

This scolding provoked several beggars to be furious. The family worked together to pull the rope from the rattan basket downward, trying to pull the soldier down. Everyone shouted and scolded the soldier and threatened to stew him into dog meat.

At this time, the soldier was also a little panicked, and threw the whole rope down, not even the rattan basket. He shouted to Fang Zhongjin and Lu'er under the city gate, "I'm sorry for the two little dolls. Jinhua County has not let people in these days. Come back into the city in a few days. If you want to complain, you can complain about these called Huazi, they gathered people to make trouble, and now they are going to rebel and eat people. When our county lord moves in for reinforcements, he will ask you to be killed and skinned one by one. It's good to be an adult!" He shrank back into the city walls, and refused to come out as much as he asked the flowers to curse.

Lu'er was shocked and angry this time. Seeing that it was getting dark, the two of them had nowhere to go, so they had to sleep outside the city. And are these people called Hanako around really anti-thieves? The county magistrate in the city went to call for reinforcements, could it be that there was still a war here?

Lu'er looked at Fang Zhongjin, lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Jin doesn't really want to fight here, right?" But seeing Fang Zhongjin frowning and thinking, he didn't dare to disturb his train of thought. After a while, Fang Zhongjin suddenly said: "I see that although these people are all martial artists, except for a few people who have a bamboo pole in their hands, no one has weapons. If you can rebel in this way, it can really be called 'uncovering'. Besides, if there is really a rebellion, the soldiers at the head of the city will not be able to speak as hard as they do now. Most of them are just bragging. ”

Fang Zhongjin lowered his voice and said to Lu'er: "Don't worry, when the night comes, we will quietly climb the wall and go in." Always find a place with eaves to spend the night. ”

Lu'er looked up at the towering city wall and said worriedly: "This city wall is so high, Brother Jin, you can climb it, I can't do it." ”

Fang Zhongjin laughed and said, "With me here, what are you worried about, just bring you into Jinhua County." ”

When Lu'er heard this, she put her heart back in her stomach. The two of them sat down in the shade of a random tree on the edge of the wall, intending to wait until evening.

Although there are no shops and restaurants outside the city, they can't stand the deer and have already prepared. I saw her take out some dry food steamed buns from her baggage and share them with Fang Zhongjin.

However, the two of them didn't want to attract attention, and some of the people outside the city gate had already been eyeing them. The two of them had only eaten two bites before a man in his thirties walked up to them. He was as strong as a pagoda, and his voice was like a bell, and he said to the two people sitting on the ground: "Little dolls, I couldn't help it just now. and you will not be able to enter the gates. ”

Fang and Lu looked up, but who was the beggar who pulled out the bamboo basket with one hand just now?
