Tietou breathlessly looked at the market in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief.

From the time he set out at dawn in the morning and didn't arrive until close to noon, Tietou made a mental calculation. Even excluding the two hours of physical exhaustion, slow foot speed, and occasional breaks, he rushed from the village to the town, and with the normal speed of a normal person,

The speed would also take more than three hours, which is two hours slower.

Looking up, the entrance to the market was right in front. It was completely different from what Tietou had imagined. There was no city wall, only a wall made of earth and stone as high as a person. There was a wooden shelf erected at the entrance, with a wooden plaque on it.

, maybe the sun has passed a little too long and the plaque is a little old, but you can still clearly see the four characters "Wushan Market".

Tietou muttered, "Wushan Market, the font should be Song Dynasty, so it should be from the Song Dynasty or after the Ming Dynasty."

Tietou was a Taoist priest in his previous life, and even became the branch president of a province. He was still very talented and knowledgeable. Due to his professional background, he also had some understanding of the fonts of various dynasties and generations.

Although Song Dynasty was created in the Song Dynasty, it was widely used in the Ming Dynasty and after. Of course, the possibility of it being the Song Dynasty is not ruled out.

You still have to go in and take a look so you can find more references.

"Dad, let's go in quickly." Tietou said to his father.

"Okay, okay." Dad looked at Tietou, thinking that he was eager to go in and see something new.

"Let's go, come on," the second dog next to him was even more anxious.

A group of four people walked towards the market.

Uncle Facai said as he walked: "Tietou, Ergou, do you two know why this place is called Wushan Market?"

Ergou: "Dad, why?"

Tietou thought to himself, could it be because there are five mountains around it?

"That's because there are five mountains around this place, so it's called Wushan Market." Uncle Fa Cai said proudly in front of his son, showing his extensive knowledge.

Tietou remained silent.

There were no soldiers guarding the entrance to the market, and no one charged entry fees. Tietou thought it was a little different from what it looked like on TV, but maybe it was because the place was too small.

The four of them entered the market and saw a dirt road in the middle. On both sides of the dirt road were wooden houses and stores. There were quite a lot of people in the market town. There were various business shops and stalls outside, selling a wide variety of things. All kinds of things.

The sound of hawking filled my ears.

In the village, the feeling was not so strong. After entering this town, on the street of a market with obvious ancient characteristics, Tietou truly felt that he had arrived in ancient society. He closed his eyes and listened to the cries in his ears.

My heart, which had been calm for a long time, was in turmoil again.

His body staggered suddenly and he almost fell.

Opening his eyes, he saw Ergou holding his arm, "Tietou, why are you so stunned? Hurry up and take a look."

"You two, hurry up and follow me," Uncle Fa Cai called back.

The two of them trotted to catch up. When they came to the front, Tietou whispered: "Dad, can I go play by myself?"

"No, it's the first time you two go out to play. What if you get lost? What if you are abducted by Yabo? Follow me honestly and run around to see if I can't beat you to death when I go back." Dad glared and cursed.

It seemed that human traffickers existed in all eras. Tietou had no choice but to follow him obediently. He could only look left and right as he walked, trying to find the unique marks of this era.

The four of them walked to a stall and saw that the stalls were filled with wooden products. Next to the stall was a weeding rake. The owner of the stall was an old man, and there was a young man next to him, who was probably bigger than Tietou.

Looks like one or two years old.

"Old Wangtou, I haven't seen you for a long time. I'm setting up a stall again. The last time I bought some weeding rake from you, it broke. I plan to buy another one this time. You have to give me a good price. Oops, this is your big one.

My grandson, he’s so handsome, and he looks like a smart kid at first glance.” The father came to the stall and started talking.

Tietou rolled his eyes beside him, wondering what the relationship between handsomeness and intelligence was.

The silver-haired Lao Wangtou looked up and said with a smile, "It turns out you are an idiot. The two people next to you are your children?"

"No, this is yes, this is for making a fortune." Dad pointed at me and then at Ergou.

Lao Wangtou, I just saw Uncle Fortune now.

"Old Wangtou, your eldest son is promising. I heard that Mr. Li's wife worked as a carpenter in the market town. In less than three years, he bought a house in the market town and brought you here to enjoy your life. Why are you coming out again?

Have you set up a stall?" Uncle Fa Cai said with a hint of envy.

"Hey, boss, what kind of future is he? I didn't want to come here. It's so comfortable in my hometown in the mountains, but the boss insisted on asking me to come. I'm an old man who can't stay idle. I can't move at home, so I came out.

Set up a stall and stretch your muscles and bones," he said modestly, with an old face smiling like a chrysanthemum, with pride.

Tietou muttered next to him, this is the ancient version of being too honest. But he was also a little surprised in his heart. No matter what era you are in, you can solve the house after two or three years of work. It is not that simple. He turned around and looked, Lao Wang

The boy next to his head was thinking.

"Wow, brother, did you grow up here? This is my first time here." He said with envy on his face, but Tietou couldn't bear the feeling of boredom in his heart.

"That's right, there's nothing here that I'm not familiar with," the boy from the Wang family said proudly.

"It's amazing. I just came here and I haven't been anywhere yet," Tietou said with hopeful eyes.

"That's not easy, let's go, I'll take you to play, and I'll make sure you have a great time." It's a normal reaction for a normal teenager to express himself in front of his peers.

"Dad..." Tietou turned to look at his father.

The father paused and replied: "Go, but you two don't run around, follow your brother Wang, and come back early."

Tietou was stunned for a moment. Although he was surprised that his father agreed so easily and did not say what he had prepared later, he did not think too much and walked forward with Ergou and the three young men from the Wang family.

Dad Tietou actually thinks more. Although the youngest of his family doesn't talk much, he is also quite smart. The reason why he agreed so quickly this time is that he actually wants Tietou to have a good relationship with the Wang family boy and see if he can

You can't be a carpenter's apprentice under Lao Wangtou.

…

As Tietou followed the boy from the Wang family, he thought that the easiest place to find the mark of the times is the "zhèng fǔ publicity board". If it was the Ming Dynasty, although the smallest organized administrative unit was the county, below the county

There are also townships, and below the townships there are Du and Tu, which are actually thought of at the modern town level, and Tu is the village level. This is obviously a market, not really a "town". The towns in the Ming Dynasty,

It’s not just a name you call it casually. I always thought it was a town, but I was wrong.

I can only walk around, but fortunately this market is not big, so I can always find something.

Sure enough, the boy from the Wang family took Tietou and Ergou and spun around for about ten minutes. They were basically spinning some ancient style items. Tietou had not reached the level of an archaeologist in his previous life, and he was not a toy player.

It's an antique, and I can't tell what year it's style is.

Thinking of this, Tietou was a little annoyed. He had been here for more than a month and he didn't even know what dynasty it was. It was a bit embarrassing.

"Brother Wang, which family is Mr. Li's wife that my father mentioned before?" Ergou asked curiously.

"Come on, let me take you to see. Ms. Li's family is the richest in the market. Many shops belong to her family." The young man from the Wang family looked proud, as if he was proud of himself.

The three of them began to leave the market and ran towards the house on the west side.

"Did you see it? This is Mr. Li's wife's house. It's grand, right?" the boy from the Wang family gasped.

In front of the three of them, they saw a courtyard. Since they couldn't see inside, they couldn't tell who entered or exited the courtyard. But looking at the high-walled courtyard, they knew that this family had a lot of money. Above the door of the house was "Li Mansion".

Come into view.

This was the first time Tietou saw a "serious" house in this world.

"Squeak...ah", the door of Li Mansion slowly opened, and the three of them hurriedly hid aside.

"Brother Rong, this is a rare opportunity for our Wudang sect to open its doors to recruit disciples. I hope you can seize it. If you can succeed this time, then you and I can help each other in the sect." A clear voice said.

came.

Tietou looked up and saw three people standing at the door of Li Mansion. One of them looked very familiar to him. He looked like a young Taoist, wearing a green robe. There was no dust in his hands, but he was carrying a long sword. Because he was standing sideways,

Facing each other, so we can't see clearly his appearance, the other person is a 167-year-old boy, with red lips and white teeth, handsome appearance, wearing sapphire blue clothes, and another person wearing gray clothes and hat, bending down, standing behind the young man in the clothes,

He should be a servant.

"Brother Tianzhi, please rest assured. Rong will definitely keep your instructions in mind." Although the young man in Huafu is young, he speaks like a young adult, and he is young and mature.

"Three months later, when the Wudang Sect recruits disciples, whether they are the main line of the Li family or the branches, I have informed everyone of the age group one by one. I have almost given it to you. As for whether it will succeed or not, it depends on your own destiny."

, looking at the young man in front of him, the Taoist admired him in his eyes, but his words were indifferent.

"Okay, I'm leaving." The young Taoist turned around and left without hesitation. Before leaving, he glanced at where Tietou and the other three were and ignored them.

"Best farewell to Brother Tianzhi," Li Rong bent over to send him off.

The servant next to him came over to help: "Master, we have gone far, let's go back."

Li Rong ignored him and bowed down to see him off. He didn't get up slowly until no one could be seen on the long street in front of his house.

"He gave me a gift, and it's worth bending down to give me a gift." Li Rong said lightly, and then turned around and returned home.

…

When Tietou and the others returned to Lao Wangtou's stall, Dad and Uncle Facai had bought the salt, grain wine, and other daily necessities they needed.

A group of four people started to rush home.
