Not to mention jackals, tigers, leopards, poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, the bandits who block the road are enough to frighten people. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Shen Tang and his wife try not to stay in the wild overnight.
However, the top priority is to buy two new clothes for Shen Xiaolangjun. Qishan's own clothes are almost out of clothes.
He came out of the cloth shop with a cloth bag in his hand.
It was too late to tailor the clothes, so he could only choose two men's shirts from ready-made clothes that were about the same height as Shen Xiaolangjun.
There are both inner and outer clothes, plus the one I lent to Shen Xiaolangjun, three sets of replacements should be enough.
"Shen Xiaolangjun, it's time to go..."
Qi Shan was about to ask Shen Tang to go to the next village before dark, but Shen Tang, who was supposed to be at the door, disappeared.
Where are people?
Do you dare to run around when you are not familiar with the place?
He was about to look for the disappeared Shen Tang. Before he took a step, he caught a glimpse of a familiar pure white across the street - the tall, snow-white mule lying obediently on the ground, even if passers-by gathered in a circle. It couldn't stop its slapping tail.
Qishan: "..."
"Folks who come and go, take a look. Freshly picked green plums cost three cents per catty, while supplies last..."
As soon as I got closer to the crowd, I heard familiar shouts.
He saw Mr. Shen, whom he was familiar with, sitting facelessly on the ground, his hair hastily tied up into a ball with straw ropes. There was a piece of cloth spread out in front of him, with a hill-like pile of green plums piled on the cloth, and beside him there were There is a large basket with green plums inside.
She didn't seem to be ashamed at all and enthusiastically sold green plums.
As long as someone comes to buy, she will greet her warmly, calling her husband, wife, brother or sister, smearing her mouth with honey, and shouting indiscriminately.
I also didn’t forget to advertise Qingmei,
It is high-quality and low-priced, has a thin skin and is large in size. Eating it can not only quench thirst and relieve summer heat, but also nourish and beautify the skin. It is really a must-have fruit in midsummer.
Qi Shan stood in the crowd and watched for a while, and found that most of the people buying green plums were women, and each one was bought in three to five kilograms. Not to mention that green plums are too cheap, and you can make a profit just by buying them. Just let this handsome young man buy them. Calling yourself "sister" or "lady" is not a loss.
If it weren't for Shen Xiaolangjun's young age, enthusiastic attitude, good looks, clean eyes and no dirty thoughts, the men on this street would probably drag him to the alley and beat him up - he would have nothing to do with teasing these big wives. What does the little lady do?
Calling everyone "Niangzi" or "Sister" when meeting people is frivolous.
After a while, Shen Tang's green plum was completely sold out, and dozens of copper coins were put into her purse. She stood up and patted the dust on her butt, as if she had expected Qi Shan to be there.
He smiled and asked: "Yuanliang, are you done?"
Qi Shan was not angry and resisted the urge to roll his eyes.
"You're done, what are you doing?"
Others sell wine as coins, but Shen Xiaolangjun sells green plums on the street?
Shen Tang shook the clanking money bag.
"I have no money, Yuan Liang asked..."
Don’t you know how poor she is now?
You can't reach out and ask Qi Shan for money, right?
They are neither relatives nor friends, they are each other's tools, and neither one owes the other. Shen Tang cannot be so shameless as to treat him as an ATM machine.
Under Qishan's complicated gaze, Shen Tang returned the frame to another stall owner, redeemed the mortgaged Wenxin monogram from the vendor, and put it back on his waist. He used the newly earned money to buy some salt, wine, and other items. Pickled side dishes.
"Why did you give money to Master Tian and the others when you knew you were short of money?" Qi Shan said and threw the cloth bag into the bag carried by the motorcycle. Ever since he discovered that Shen Tang could focus on the motorcycle twelve hours a day without getting tired, The motorcycle was given a new job.
Both of them had their luggage carried on it, which saved them a lot of effort.
After parting ways with Tian Zhong and his party two days ago, Shen Tang took out a few pieces of broken silver from his arms and gave them to them, plus a dozen cakes.
"For one thing, I didn't earn those pieces of silver myself." She collected them from the first official who was killed. She didn't feel bad about using other people's inheritance. "Secondly, Tian Zhong and the others took them with them. Injured, penniless, even if there is a place to seek refuge, I have nothing on me, and I don’t know if I will reach my destination with my life.”
Even if she has no money, she will not starve to death.
After some thought, I threw away a few broken pieces of silver.
As a painter and otaku who grew up in peacetime, Shen Tang always felt sorry for others, so she would help if she could.
Qi Shan didn't seem to believe it and asked again: "Is this the only reason?"
Shen Tang tilted his head in confusion.
"If it's not because of this, why else? Why, these days, doing good things and doing good things is still subject to conspiracy theories?"
Qishan: "..."
Seeing that Shen Tang's expression didn't seem to be fake, he didn't know what was going on in his head, and his expression changed unpredictably, making people confused.
Shen Tang didn't know why, so he had to be careful: "Yuanliang?"
Qi Shan took a deep look at her and sighed, "Nothing."
But with one wrong step, his body was already three feet away.
Shen Tang, who was left in place: "...Gan!"
Since there's nothing wrong, why are you using Yanling to run around?
Even if you bully her, she won't be able to ride a motorcycle to chase the wind and sneak into the scenery!
Because he was so poor, Shen Tang could only walk all the way selling cakes, green plums, and sugar candies produced and sold by himself.
The prices of green plums and sugar candies fluctuate according to the dress of the local people. Those who are well-dressed and clean are sold for a few cents more, while those with patches and unkempt hair are sold for a few cents less. The price of pancakes is based on the local vendors. Since it is a business without capital, try not to disrupt the market. .
Qi Shan did not comment on her considerations.
Of course, I don’t know why I’m complaining about Shen Tang in my heart.
Shen Xiaolangjun was the most miserable schemer he had ever seen in his life, even when he was at his lowest.
But he enjoys it himself, so he doesn't say much.
The two of them hurriedly and slowly approached the territory of Sibao County.
Calculating the time they spent on the road, it was estimated that they were slower than the second batch of Gong's exiled prisoners.
"Yuanliang, I heard from the people at the market not long ago that there are four great treasures in this Sibao County, and the people have enough food and clothing...but why?"
Shen Tang led the motorcycle and followed Qishan, looking around.
The streets were empty and dilapidated. Occasionally, passers-by could be seen looking sallow and thin, as if a handful of bones were covering a torn sack, and a gust of wind would make them sway.
These passers-by are also very timid. If their eyes accidentally meet the two unfamiliar faces of Shen Tang, they will shrink their necks, like frightened rabbits, quicken their steps and disappear.
Qi Shan sighed: "Sibao County was one of the first counties to be conquered by the Geng Kingdom. Three of the six nearby counties were plundered, and Sibao County was particularly serious. It will be difficult to restore the previous prosperity..."
Every household was in a state of mourning and there were funerals, and the wailing and sobbing in my ears never stopped.
Such a scene of decline is not surprising to Qi Shan.
Who allowed the battlefield of the war between the two countries to be placed in Xin State?
The people of this land are doomed to tragedy.
However, when the two arrived at Xiaocheng after all the hard work, they found that there were two completely different worlds inside and outside the city.
Outside the city, there were corpses strewn across the fields, and the wasteland was thousands of miles away. The whining sound made by the night wind was like thousands of lonely ghosts wailing in their ears.
And inside the city——
Crowds of people surged, singing and dancing took place.
