Chapter 23 Selling Firewood

(Thanks to book friend Xiao Li Zhinian for the tip, thank you very much.)

Without any sharp words, Li Po managed to trap the two northern men by his side.

While walking towards the market, Li Po said this to his two brothers, "Are these two brothers soldiers of the government?"

"That's natural. When my brother was training, he was still the team leader."

"The two brothers are very capable..."

"I'm not very capable, otherwise I wouldn't have been beaten by you."

It is true that language is a bridge of communication.

Although the two brothers still had feelings for each other at this moment, their resentment became less intense as they talked.

Li Po's understanding of the Sui military system was no less than that of the two brothers, and he was even more familiar with life in the mountains and forests. After walking for a while, the two brothers felt as if they had met a close friend. Everything this evil man said sounded so good to them.

.

When passing through the refugee camp, Shi Da felt softened when he saw the unkempt, disheveled, cold and lifeless men, women, and children in the thatched huts.

Before leaving the camp, he dropped the firewood on his shoulder to the ground.

He said angrily, "I don't want these firewood anymore."

Shi Er looked at it and began to untie the rope on his shoulders.

Li Po immediately grabbed Shi Er and said, "The two brothers are kind-hearted, but these firewood can't save lives. One load is enough, don't leave them all here. Besides, if there is no more firewood, the two brothers will not look good when they go back."

nice."

After walking out of the camp, the faces of the two brothers gradually became ugly. The result of being too soft-hearted was that they now had to think about how to talk to their fellow tribesmen when they returned.

Li Po didn't even say a word of thanks. Originally, the firewood wasn't given to him, so there was no need for him to thank him.

When I realized that, I really didn't realize that the two brothers, who seemed to have bad tempers and were quite fierce, actually had good intentions. They were much nicer than the two pretentious monks.

"Don't worry, we can just sell the firewood at a good price."

"We are not worried about those two copper coins."

"I know, I know, it's hard to talk about it after we get back."

"Shi Da said we won't be allowed to cause trouble in the city."

Naturally, Shi does not refer to the eldest of the two brothers. This big character is the honorific title of the villagers and the leader of their group of hunters.

"I didn't mean to cause trouble, but in this crowded city, how can we talk to people well if we don't be more aggressive?"

"That's right. There really aren't many good people in the market."

While talking, the three people had already entered the fence of the market.

There is also a concierge in the market. Although the combination of three people looks a bit strange, no one from the concierge came out to ask questions.

The market is very dirty and messy, almost a replica of a refugee camp.

Li Po came in for the first time and kept looking around.

This time, he was followed by two hunters, but it was different. When he entered the market, the malicious eyes would not fall on him.

First, he led the two brothers around the city.

The population here in Beicheng is not large, with some messy houses and yards standing in a circle of fences.

There are very few pedestrians and no one is cleaning the snow. Sewage and defecation can be seen everywhere, exuding an unpleasant smell.

I didn't see any slaves, but I saw some idle men, wearing ragged leather jackets, coming and going in a hurry, some with knives on their waists.

Li Po's intuitive impression of the winter market was that it was depressed and desolate, with few people around.

But Li Po has determined that there are countless evils hidden in every corner here.

But he is not here to punish any sinners, but to find a way to make a living in this place where sin is hidden.

It's definitely not possible to just take a quick look at things.

It takes a certain amount of time to talk to people, but Li Po didn't want to delay it too long.

Soon, he led the two brothers back to the refugee camp.

The two brothers gradually talked less and less. They were no strangers to the city, but they had never belonged to this place. After staying here for a long time, they felt uncomfortable all over.

They really want to leave here quickly.

When things went counterproductive, Li Po stopped, looked around briefly, and then led them to the door of a big house.

The back of this big house is connected to the yard. It looks like a very grand house in the city.

This can only show that the owner of the house is doing well and his business is not small.

However, when Li Po came to the door, he heard the shouting and shouting inside the door, and he shined a few clicks on the thick door.

The door swung in protest, and a lot of dust fell, which was then blown away by the cold wind without a trace.

Li Po retreated to the two brothers. The two brothers were stunned and tensed up.

They felt that they might be beaten again today. This was no other place, but a human market. Even if they brought all their fellow tribesmen here, the result of the provocation would be that they would be beaten all over the floor.

If it hadn't been for the grand master's order, their lives would probably have been at stake here if Li Dalang kicked them in.

Not caring about complaining about this living ancestor, the two brothers only cared about themselves being frightened.

The room was quiet for a while, and suddenly there was a sound of yelling and cursing. The door opened quickly, and two men with raised eyebrows stood at the door.

As the door opened, the aroma of wine and meat and the heat inside the door surged out, causing the tortured Li Po to involuntarily swallow the rapidly secreted saliva.

He didn't look at the two villains who had similar door gods, and looked into the room along the gap.

There was a large square table in the large front hall, and the food and wine were in a mess. Seven or eight fierce men were already drinking and their faces were red, but at this time they were all looking at the door.

The two door gods who came out looked very fierce, but Li Po was even more fierce than them. Before they could say anything, Li Po yelled, "Selling firewood, thirty cents a load, I'll sell it to your family."

The two brothers Shi Da shrank their shoulders and wanted to call her mother. It seemed that they couldn't spare the punch today.

But then, the two brothers puffed up their chests and stared.

When things cannot get better, their ferocity is often aroused. This is also one of the characteristics of adult men on the frontier.

The two door gods immediately became happy.

The three people in front of me looked very strange. The boy who spoke had a loud tone, but he was similar to the beggars on the street. If he were one, they would definitely drag him in and give him a good beating, and he might even be sold out secretly.

.

But the boy was followed by two big men, and he knew at a glance that he was a hunter from outside the city who came into the city to sell firewood.

The two of them were laughing, but they were also wondering, is this kid still a middle-aged man in the city? I haven't seen him before?

There are many evil people in Mayi, and there are many explicit or implicit rules in the market, but I have never heard of anyone coming to the door to sell firewood.

The two door gods felt a little confused, "Go away and sell firewood to other houses without even looking at it. Is this a place for you to have fun?"
