Stride on the Journey (2) (Stamp on the Journey (2) Well! I also feel...)
Back on the road(2)
Hmm! I think you have a cornucopia too!
But your cornucopia is not a master?
Tongtong was stunned, "Is that so? Right! Well! That's it!"
She looked up at the muddy path and felt worried, "How far is it from the county seat?"
It's not far, but it's probably another seven or eight miles away.
After walking for seven or eight miles, we rested three times. By the time we arrived at the county town, most of the morning had already passed. The county town was built with an earthen city wall. Looking at the traces, we could see that this wall had been standing for many years. The city gate was not big, but it was only a small one that could be entered.
A dilapidated doorway that allows two carriages to enter and exit. There are always people in various clothes coming in and out these days. The decent ones have no patches on their bodies, but most of them are not only covered in patches, but also dirty and greasy.
.
No one wants to be dirty if it can be clean, unless there is no need to change it.
People who saw this scene felt heavy in their hearts. “The county is in such a situation, so we know what kind of life the ordinary people are living.”
The two of them just looked at the county town in front of them in bewilderment. One voice said, "I didn't expect it to be like this." Another voice said, "It was just like this."
Okay! Don’t worry about it, you have to live your life when you come!
At least you have to go to the drug store to get some side medicine.
But before they even entered the county seat, they were stopped. Two men in uniforms walked across the street. I didn’t know what kind of uniforms they were, but looking at them, I was afraid they had some tolerance.
Before they even got there, the guy in the lead with a black pimple on his face pointed in this direction, "You...said your...your car was requisitioned...quickly vacated the car..."
Before he finished speaking, his hand was already on the shaft of the car.
Siye then smiled, this really can happen to anything. Just when he was about to speak, the hem of his clothes was grabbed by Tongtong, and she tugged gently: Isn't this a sign of movement?
What else was he planning? He turned around and saw Tongtong stretched out her hand, as if to help her.
Si Ye was speechless and stretched out his hand to help Tongtong. His feet touched the ground. Tongtong stumbled and fell towards the man next to him who was holding on to the shaft of the car.
It looked like he was a patient. Who the hell knew what the disease was? He was so frightened that he had to hide back. He didn't touch him, as if his clothes were just rubbed.
The man patted himself and frowned in disgust, but he only ordered the people following him, "Push the car and let's go!"
Then he walked away without even paying attention to the owner of the trolley.
Siye looked at Tongtong: "What's going on?"
Tongtong hid in his arms, turned her palm over, and pulled out a gray cloth bag. She weighed it and made a crisp sound.
Siye was stunned for a moment and looked at Tongtong blankly.
Tongtong was also stunned for a moment, and then looked at him blankly.
Si Ye: "..." Who are you? You can even commit petty theft!
Tongtong said nonchalantly: "..." I don't know if I can do it with empty hands! But at that time, this person had such a face, and we happened to have no money. This person probably didn't expect that someone would stare at him and dare to steal from him, no?
, my hands are faster than my brain and I touch it directly.
I didn't expect it to be so easy, really!
She argued: "This man can rob our car, so I can't steal his money?" She didn't steal anyone else's money either! There were also rich people who came into the city just now, so I just stole it without thinking!
It just happened to teach this person a lesson.
I turned around and stared at him, stealing to death! I also wanted to make a fortune with this man! I didn't plan to stop until he knelt down and called his aunt.
Really! That’s what I was thinking in my mind just now.
Siye raised his eyebrows, he had never encountered this before! He had not yet woken up from Tongtong's accident, but Tongtong turned over his hand, poured out all the money and stuffed it into his arms.
She took a money bag and stuffed it in her sleeves first. Then she pulled him towards the wall. At the wall there was a fire lit by people who got up early in the county. There were still ashes there. After pulling it twice, some of it had not burned out yet. She
She casually picked up dry leaves and other things and threw them on the fire. When the flames started to spread, she added more firewood. Then, the cloth bag in her sleeves fell into the fire under such cover. In just a few breaths, it turned into
Ashes, nothing left. Clean and neat, leaving no trace.
After finishing, Tongtong looked at him with an innocent look on his face. Then he smiled flatteringly: "Let's go eat!"
Si Ye: "..." The rice bought with the stolen money will be more delicious.
Whether it smells good or not only depends on the degree of hunger.
After entering the city gate, there is no need to walk further. There is a bun shop next to it! I ordered three vegetarian buns, meat buns, and fat buns.
Fragrant! So fragrant! Tongtong ate three of the nine buns and didn't dare to eat them. Si Ye probably wasn't full yet for the remaining six. The free noodle soup was a bowl for each person, which quelled his stomach first.
I don’t know the price of the nine buns, but the store said they were twenty-seven coppers.
Tongtong took out three copper coins, and others also found three copper coins.
There is also the words "Qing Dynasty Copper Coin" on this copper coin. Looking at it now, I just sigh.
The two of them didn't leave in a hurry. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was in the store, Siye asked Tongtong to see how much it was and how it could be used.
As a result, there are still eighteen copper coins, five copper coins plus the three recovered coins. There is also a newer coin with a fat profile of a human head on one side and the words "Three Years of the Min Kingdom of China" below.
.On one side is a dragon pattern, and also has the words 'China Minguo'.
The money says that the Min Kingdom lasted three years, but in fact it may not be three years now.
It turns out that the Qing Dynasty did not just fall.
There was no point in worrying about it. She handed the brand-new money to Siye and said nothing. The new money should be more valuable. Anyway, this fifteen-year-old girl from the Lin family had never seen anything like this.
Plant money.
Si Ye became the fourth brother Jin. After all, he was a man. He often walked around outside. Of course he knew what the money was. He took it out as soon as he saw it. When he pulled her out, he said: "A long-term worker can't exchange for two in a year."
This kind of money."
ah?
Hmm! So, the money is still valuable. So what to do now? Where to go?
Siye felt that Tongtong's current body would not allow him to eat or drink when he returned to the village, so he simply didn't go back. "Find a house and rent it first, and settle down first."
Okay! In today's life, if your children are still eating at home when they are adults, it will be a burden.
The eldest, second, and third brothers of the Jin family left home to make a living on their own when they were fourteen or fifteen years old! Either they were introduced by fellow villagers, or they went out together in a group to find a way to survive. It was better than staying together and starving to death.
Siye started talking about the Jin family, and Tongtong finally remembered that the Lin family's fourth daughter, Hongtao, would have been fourteen this year, but she was hired by a wealthy family in another town two years ago.
The son of that family became a child bride.
The eldest girl in the family is clumsy, and she promised to live with others when she was eighteen, but the young man went out to make a living and said he would come back the next year, but he was gone without seeing anyone and spent his time here. The second girl, Lamei, works in farming, because there is a child in the family who is only thirteen.
It has roots that need to be taken care of. It will definitely be gone in another two years.
This girl had studied with a landowner's daughter, so her family may not have planned to use this as a gimmick to get a good marriage. Otherwise, they couldn't just keep her here and earn free money.
If you think about it, let's settle down first and then go back home to talk.
We can't afford to live in an inn. It depends on who has a private house. A separate courtyard is best. Let's rent it for a month first and settle down temporarily.
But who can I ask about this lease? You can ask one of the residents.
There was an old man dragging his little grandson along the roadside. His clothes were dirty and tattered, but looking at the chubby face of the child with some flesh on it, I thought that the family was not well-off, but they were not hungry either. Then this was a good life.
If you have old people or children, you must be old residents in the city.
Si Ye went to ask, and he pointed to the inside of the alley and said, "Go in, and there is a gate store at the end. The yard of that house is empty, the house is dilapidated, but it is cheap. There is no owner anymore, and all the people are dead."
, if you are not taboo, go and ask. There is someone at the opposite door, she is a lonely old woman, the aunt of the original owner of the yard, and the house now belongs to the old woman."
It's close to the city gate, not a good place. I walked along the alley and passed by more than ten houses before I arrived at the place I was talking about. But this house was too dilapidated. On the opposite side, although the house was old, it was built from front to back.
Strictly.
Si Ye knocked on the door, and there was a reply from inside. After a short while, an old lady with a stern look came out, only sticking her head out, "Nothing to eat! Leave quickly!"
I thought he was begging for food.
Si Ye originally wanted to rent the house of this old lady, but after looking at her character, he felt that living with this old lady was too uncomfortable. He just pointed to the opposite side and said, "We are just asking, can we rent the yard opposite?"
?”
The old lady looked outside, then looked at the two of them, "That yard is not for rent, only for sale! A Yuan Datou will give you the property lease if you have money! If you don't have money, leave."
Then there was a clang and the door was closed again.
Hey! I'm afraid that if I pay once a month, there will be big trouble in the future! If I live in this house, I am young and strong, and I won't leave without paying in the future. What can an old woman like her do to others? This is not the same as asking someone to do it.
Is it the same as if the house has been occupied?
Then it is better to say that you want to sell it and leave if you have no money. If you have money, you will not lose if you get a Yuan Datou.
Although it may be a bad attitude, but after thinking about it, I can understand. A lonely old woman can't keep her family property if she doesn't act like this!
What should I do? I only have this little money on me. Yuan Datou has a lot of money, but he only has a few coppers after giving it to me.
The key is that the village still owes someone a trolley!
Tongtong looked around and saw that this was a cloth bag alley with a wall at the top. There was an earthen house against the wall, which must have been a woodshed. She walked over and looked inside. It was a mess, but there was a narrow shop.
Fire kang.
In fact, this is fine too! She went over and knocked on the door again: "Madam, let me ask, can I rent the room outside?"
The door was not open, but a voice came from the inside of the door: "... A heavy smoker once lived in that house, and later the heavy smoker died in it. If you don't mind, you can live here, no money needed..."
Tongtong was stunned: Oh! The old lady is not a bad person. It’s just that the world is such that people can’t believe it!
