"Auntie, you guys go to bed early, I can just find a tree and make do with it all night." After Helian Jingce said that, he tiptoed and flew up to the tall jujube tree in the yard of the uncle's house.
This scene shocked the honest Yu family.
"Brother can fly, he's so awesome." Yu Doudou clapped her hands excitedly.
Helian Jingce had a place to rest, and the Yu family no longer insisted.
Before entering the house, Fu Manman took a box of cooling oil from his sleeve pocket and threw it to Helian Jingce, saying, "I'll give you mosquito repellent."
Helian Jingce took it and saw that it was cooling oil. He felt warm in his heart, but he said, "You said I have rough skin and thick flesh."
"I'm afraid the mosquitoes won't bite me, so I'll loosen the skin for you." Fu Manman said and turned around to go back.
What a dishonest guy.
Helian Jingce held the cooling oil and thought about what Fu Manman said angrily just now. He felt sweet in his heart and raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously.
After spending one night at Uncle Yu's house, Fu Manman and Helian Jingce had a simple breakfast and then left.
After paying a lot, I had nothing to give, so I took a gold lock piece from the space and gave it to Yu Doudou.
The old man refused to accept it no matter what. He paid a lot of money and just said it was a gift from his own heart and a gift to his child.
After leaving the old man's house, according to the old man's dictation, the two of them walked towards the town here. Not long after walking, Fu Manman's stomach felt uncomfortable again, and Helian Jingce was carrying him on his back. They waited for three or four hours.
Just arrived in town.
"The uncle said that it only takes an hour to walk to the town. Why did you walk for two hours? Your body is still too weak." In front of the archway of the town, Fu Manman complained about He Lianjing.
Policy.
Helian Jingce calmed down his breathing. He had been carrying her for four hours. This woman is really heartless!
"Manman, do you know that you are heavier than yesterday!"
"It's not you who fed me." Fu Manman hummed.
After Helian Jingce heard this, he lowered his head and pursed his lips and smiled, OK, it's all his fault.
The two entered the town and found an open-air wonton stall to rest.
Fu Manman ordered two bowls of wontons. When the two bowls were on the table, she pushed one bowl to Helian Jingce and said, "Please eat wontons."
Invite him to eat? But he clearly paid for it just now.
Fu Manman knew that it was him who paid, and she just wanted to tease him. Seeing the frustrated expression on his face, she felt inexplicably happy.
After eating a bowl of wontons, Fumanman felt comfortable all over and his stomach didn't hurt so much anymore.
"Hey, have you heard? The military conscription is about to begin again!" A middle-aged man sighed to the young man next to him at the wonton stall.
"Where's your news? Why haven't I heard about it?" said the young man.
"My uncle is an errand in the county government. I heard what the county magistrate said."
"Ah! Then this news cannot be false."
"Can you tell me how to conquer it?"
"It's not just a strong man born in a family. If you don't want to contribute, just pay, twenty taels of silver per person." The middle-aged man said.
"So much, it won't kill anyone!"
"Hey, we just had a few days of peace, and now there's a war. It's impossible to survive these days."
"It's all those aristocratic families who are fighting for territory. Why is there no one in the world to take care of these aristocratic families?" An old man next to him interjected, his tone full of hatred for the aristocratic families.
At this time, someone whispered: "I don't want to live anymore, how dare I talk about the family's affairs."
"Which side is going to fight?" Fu Manman asked Helian Jingce.
He is better informed.
"It's that place in the northeast, but it can't recruit many soldiers. In that place, private soldiers raised by a few aristocratic families should be enough." Helian Jingce said.
"Then why are those people talking about conscription?" Fu Manman was a little worried about Uncle Yu's family.
He already has a son who has gone to be a soldier. If the current son also goes to be a soldier, the life of the old couple and their granddaughter will be extremely difficult.
"I guess it was a local aristocratic family who issued such an edict in order to make money. In the past, in the palace, there were often such stories about impeachment of aristocratic families. Those aristocratic families deliberately misinterpreted the edicts above, used power for personal gain, and harmed people's lives.
No less." Helian Jingce said solemnly.
Fu Manman understood the deep meaning, "Then what happened to those aristocratic families in the end."
"Disposal? Tiansheng is supported by countless aristocratic families. Those aristocratic families are intertwined. If one of them is disturbed, it will stir up a hornet's nest. Every time this kind of thing happens, it is raised high and put down gently. For the royal family,
The person who died was just an untouchable with a single surname."
Helian Jingce's words made Fu Manman clenched his fists unconsciously. Yes, this damn caste system divides people into three, six or nine levels, and the lives of ordinary people here are even more difficult.
The two of them had just finished eating their wontons when a dark cloud came from the sky.
There was a flash of lightning, and then a dull rumble came from deep in the sky.
No, it's going to rain again, and the weather is still moody!
"It's going to rain, go quickly!"
A group of people finished eating their wontons and ran around to find a place to take shelter from the rain.
Fu Manman and Helian Jingce also found an inn.
As soon as I ran into the inn, heavy raindrops fell behind me.
This should be a shower and it will stop after it starts raining.
"How many days will it take to leave Songcheng?" Fu Manman asked Helian Jingce.
"Three days!"
There is no rush for three days, she will have a good rest here today.
She paid Manman to book a room and went upstairs to have a good sleep. She was crowded with the Yu family last night, but she didn't get a good rest either.
"Boys, I'm sorry, there's only one single room left." The shopkeeper looked at the girl in front of him and saw that she was rich, so he directly told her about the situation.
This girl would definitely not want to go to those Datong stores.
"Then let's take one room!" We paid a lot and booked a room.
"Let's go! I'll ask you to sleep." Fu Manman greeted Helian Jingce naturally.
He must have been very tired after carrying him for a long time.
The shopkeeper standing in front of the counter listened to what the girl in front of him said and thought that this girl was too brave to speak out in broad daylight.
Helian Jingce put his hand on his forehead and followed Fu Manman speechlessly, thinking that this was the Fu Manman he knew!
The two of them entered the room and closed the door with Fu Manman.
Helian Jingce's heart skipped a beat, his body felt hot, and he felt nervous in his heart.
The small town inn is very simple, with a bed, a table and two chairs.
There was a couch by the window. Fu Manman slumped down on the couch, opened the window and looked out at the street.
Helian Jingce came over and reached out to close the window.
"You're not feeling well, so stop blowing the air."
Fu Manman lazily leaned on the small machine next to the couch, glanced at the bed next to him, and said to Helian Jingce: "Go and rest."
"I'm not tired, you can go to bed and rest!"
Fu Manman glanced at him wildly and said with a smile: "You've been carrying me on your back all morning, aren't you tired?"
