The people in the town seem to be used to things like the dead and corpses. They are not afraid of being frightened by the corpses of the same kind. After hearing about this, they stopped doing business and gathered there, wanting to take a look. What kind of dead images are those swordsmen?
Against the crowd, Yue Si left the town.
These days, it is very dangerous to spend the night in the wilderness, so the distance between villages and towns is very important. Starting in the morning, before closing the city gate in the evening, you will either encounter the village or the next one. In a town, in short, a place to stay overnight.
The location of the next town that Yue Si pointed out by the second shopkeeper was about a day’s journey away.
Yue Si’s footsteps were fast enough, and he did not stop on the road. Even if he did not use his supernatural powers, he arrived at this town at noon.
In terms of scale, this town is a little bigger and more lively than the previous one. The voices are loud, and when you look around, there are pedestrians passing by, but there are more people like the swordsmen in the previous town, and their attitudes are more Outrageous, and more rude, people are afraid to avoid it.
Perhaps the place is bigger, and the equipment of these swordsmen is much better, and they even wear armor.
Although it is the kind of armor that seems to be of poor quality, the armor is simply pierced and stacked together, and there is only the part of the chest and back, but the concept of having armor and not having armor is different.
Even the bamboo armor made of old bamboo and baked is better than simply wearing a cloth.
With the sword in hand, Yue Si found the nearest inn to stay. The price was moderate and the environment was deviated. Anyway, Yue Si did not choose.
After finding a place to spend the night tonight, Yue Si wandered around the city. After selling the Amitabha Buddha’s Zen sword, he had a little extra money on his body, and a dozen taels of silver was enough for him to spend for a while, except for meals and accommodation. Besides, he is going to buy something else.
Walking on the street, Yue Si paid attention to the people selling on the street and the shops. Although it was not a big city, the business of these shops and roadside stalls was not very good, at least there was no shortage of people coming and going. business to do.
But the most prosperous business is the knife shop and the seller of mats. Knives are hung at the door of the knife shop like cut pork, and anyone can choose them.
Yue Si went over to ask about the price. Twenty-two pieces did not negotiate the price. The rope and scabbard were bought extra—even if they were sold as ordinary knives, his own Amitabha Zen knives would still be at a loss.
According to the owner of the knife shop, you will kill me or I will kill you these days. If you don’t want to live like a pig, then take a knife out for self-defense.
As for why the business is good for the mat sellers, it is because a coffin is more expensive than a mat, and most people can’t even buy a thin-skin coffin. Just bury a roll of straw mats, and the better ones are still there. Can use reed seat.
Just like at the end of “Combine”, Xiao Cangwa’s sister-in-law brought a mat to the execution ground to collect the body for Xiao Cangwa. Although the family’s wealth was scattered and could not afford a coffin, she was better than the average person and used a reed mat.
While shopping and asking for prices, Yue Si inquired about the direction and location of Guobei County from passersby.
Just strolling around, basically no one can tell the location of Guobei County. After all, it is only a small county, not a famous big city, and its popularity is not so high; and in this era, people’s daily needs are only in the In a small area around, Shili Baxiang already belongs to the world they perceive, and there is no need to know about things further afield, because it is very unnecessary.
Even the most well-informed businessman is like this. Yue Silian asked many people, but after all, he found nothing.
Even if Yue Si wanted to buy a map, he went to find the location in Guobei County himself, but the bookstore and other places didn’t sell such a thing at all.
After turning around, Yue Si didn’t find out about Guobei County, and the things he sold were basically nothing that caught his eye. In the evening, Yue Si felt that he was almost nothing if he didn’t buy anything. I went to buy a knife of rice paper and two brushes.
Carrying things, Yue Si found a restaurant that he had encountered during the period, went there to eat, and tried his luck in the most well-informed place by the way.
There are quite a few high-ranking customers in the store, all of them with swords and armor, they shouted five and six, drank alcohol, and ate meat rudely, with a very forthright attitude.
Yue Si listened carefully, and found that these gangsters were just bragging about themselves, bragging about their martial arts, bragging about killing themselves, and in a word, there was no useful news.
Relying on a few copper coins to open the way, the second shop assistant led Yue Si to sit in a relatively secluded corner. Although it was time to share a table with others, the same table was an ordinary businessman. Although he also drank and chatted, It’s just a trivial matter in business, not like the big noise over there.
It was still one main dish, two small stir-fries and a large portion of meat. While waiting for the dishes to arrive, Yue Si saw two people dressed as farmers walking in. The shop clerk was about to go over to say hello, but the shopkeeper was very good at it. Swing, let him go directly.
Then the two peasants fell to their knees with a thud, and begged to the people around them, shouting in a tone like a mourning: “Please save us, gentlemen! Please help us, heroes! !”
Obviously, the two farmers were scared and reserved, and only in this way did they dare to speak out loud.
“Crack!” With a loud noise, a wine bowl shattered beside the two farmers, and the fragments splashed on the two farmers, making them tremble.
“Fuck off, the uncle is drinking here, you two are crying over there, sweeping away the nature of the uncle, believe it or not, the uncle slashed you with a knife.” Some Jianghu people yelled at the two farmers in dissatisfaction. This remark caused a burst of echoes from the surrounding people.
A gangster went on to say: “You bastard, hurry up and ask this uncle to save your lives. If I can’t say anything, I will give you both at one stroke when the wine is finished. chopped.”
The high guest in this corner just finished speaking, and several businessmen at the same table with Yue Si exchanged in a low voice: “This person who asked the question probably just came out of the rivers and lakes, and there was a timidity in his words, which sounded like If you learn from other people’s words and pretend to be a gangster, you may be a local ruffian, and if you buy a knife, you will pretend to be a swordsman.”
“Master, if you want to listen to me, I’ll tell you…” a farmer said boldly: “A group of strongmen have set their sights on our village, and they plan to loot our village, take our grain and livestock, and Young women in our village.”
“That group of strongmen were just a group of farmers before. They fled the disaster and left the village. They got some broken swords and knives from nowhere. They robbed a few people on the road and got emboldened, so they started the business of robbery. A few people were sent to our village to ask for food and livestock. Our villagers wanted to resist them, and they swarmed and killed one of them, but those people really killed people, and they killed a few, and the rest were killed. Although the individual fled temporarily after seeing the crowd, he left a message saying that in a few days, when all their brothers arrive, we will destroy our village.”
“So, we want to invite a few uncles to our village to help us build up our momentum and scare away those strong men.”
At this time, the farmer next to him who had been afraid to speak knocked his head on the ground loudly: “Master, please save us!”
At this time, the farmer who had been talking also learned from his comrades, and slammed his head on the ground: “Masters, you all have real skills, and when you arrive in our village, you can scare the strong men away by standing there. Yes. Those people are not afraid of us farming, but they are afraid that you have the ability, if you go, they will definitely be scared. “
“Please save us, please, please save our village!”
“Since you want to ask the uncle to help you, how are you going to entertain the uncle, and how much silver tael do you pay?” It was the Jianghu man who made his debut among the merchants and said, “I want to invite this uncle to come with you. , but it’s not cheap!”
“Yes, it’s not cheap. The uncle costs ten taels of silver to kill a person. How much can you afford?” When it comes to money, those high-ranking players in the rivers and lakes became restless and shouted.
The more taciturn of the two farmers held out a trembling hand.
“Ah, fifty taels, the uncle is willing to do this business, but this uncle said yes, this is the money to follow you on a trip, and if you kill a person, the uncle will charge an additional five taels of silver.” laughed.
However, the farmer continued to say tremblingly: “Five taels of silver… This is the money that our whole village gathered together. No matter how much more, we really can’t get it out.”
“However, after the uncles come to our village, we can invite you uncles to eat and have meat to eat.”
“Have enough food? Five taels of silver?” Another wine bowl was smashed next to the two farmers, and the pieces shattered them all: “You two treat the uncles as beggars, not to mention inviting multiple uncles, one uncle Please don’t move.”
When the two farmers heard this, they kowtowed again and again: “Uncle, about money, only five or two of us can agree to it, and there are other people who have gone to other towns to invite the uncle, and those in the village who can agree may be More, but…”
Before the two peasants could continue to talk about it, those gangsters scolded and scolded. They are really poor and crazy swordsmen. Maybe they will go there for the five taels of silver and the well-stocked meals. , but those people will not eat meat and drink in this restaurant.
“The shopkeeper, send these two flies out to the uncle, and then make a noise here, believe it or not, the uncle will not pay for the drink, and you will overturn your table.”
“Mother*, crying, it’s like crying for his father, and it takes away the uncle’s interest in drinking.”
The shopkeeper can’t ignore the shouting and scolding of the high rollers, because it is related to his business. These high rollers do what they say. If they say they default, they will default. table.
Instructing two strong shop assistants to drag the two farmers out of the restaurant, he came out from behind the counter himself, and cleaned the fragments of the two wine bowls, his face was full of distress. Money, definitely can’t let those few corners of the world pay, they can only admit that they are unlucky.
There is also the residual wine in the bowl, and a little water is added to make another bowl.
After the two farmers were dragged out by the shop assistant, they were thrown onto the street unceremoniously: “Get out, get out, don’t delay my family’s business.”
Pedestrians on the street saw two despairing farmers, and began to discuss: “Two poor ghosts, it is estimated that they were found wanting to eat Bawang’s meal, and they were beaten out.”
“Yeah, I don’t know how to eat Bawang’s meal. It’s fine to change into two good clothes. At least I won’t show timidity with a little dish, and I can see it at a glance. something.”
Amid the constant sneers and discussions, the two farmers climbed up and left, supporting each other in dejection.
After watching a farce, Yue Si shook his head and said to himself, “In just two days, I have encountered three things one after another. It’s really interesting! What kind of world is this?”
Soon, Yue Si’s food was ready, and then, under the surprised eyes of the businessman at the same table, he ate it all at an astonishing speed, even chewing the bones into his stomach.
After checking out and paying the money, Yue Si returned to the inn where he was staying, and unexpectedly saw the two farmers again, who also lived in this inn.
It’s just that unlike Yue Si who lives in the guest room, these two farmers live in a pigsty together with the pigs raised in the inn.
There are pigs in the backyard of the inn, and the smell is very bad. This is also the reason for the moderate price and poor environment given by Yue Si.
Two peasants were sitting against the corner of the pigsty, and by the light of the candles shining through the gaps in the bamboo fence, they were nibbling on the rough and hard pancakes one after another, and they exchanged today’s affairs in frustration.
“Five taels of silver… is it really that little? My family can’t save five taels of silver in a year~www.mtlnovel.com~ not to mention having to feed them a full meal, and kill chickens and pigs for them to eat. The farmer, who had few words before, said with a weeping voice: “We work hard in the fields year-round, and we have to drink porridge, eat wild vegetables, and eat all-you-can-eat rice for the harvest and Chinese New Year. .”
The farmer who had been talking before was silent at this time.
Fifty taels of silver is a lot for their farmers, but it is only a small sum of money for those high-profile customers in the rivers and lakes. After all, the most common knife costs twenty taels, and they can get ten taels for any business. Why? To follow them to do the thankless thing.
If they are rich enough, they can spend fifty taels to ask someone to guard the village for them, and they will not be afraid of those strongmen, and they can farm pigs and chickens with peace of mind.
They were not the only ones who came to the town to invite high-ranking guests. They begged bitterly but only got ridiculed. It is conceivable that the situation of the others was also very bad.
