Wu Yi picked up his heavy hand and signed his name. When he came out of Liu's house, he was still in a daze, his eyes were scattered, and he shivered from time to time. The cold air surged down his throat, and the bitterness in his heart surged up, overwhelming him.
Almost nauseated.
But Wu Jin didn't care about him, and just squeezed his hand so hard that it hurt like hell.
Liuchi Alley is so busy that it’s hard to walk even a single step.
Guanpu was played everywhere, and cheers erupted from time to time. All ladies and Xiaojiabiyu crowded together to place bets. They wore coarse clothes and linen, intertwined with colorful embroidery, and gambling money was everywhere.
The originally spacious street became crowded and narrow. Wu Jin led Wu Yi through a group of people who were rushing around. A noble girl suddenly took off the golden hairpin from her head and threw it to the ground. The golden hairpin jumped up and brushed against the instep of Wu Yi.
Wu Yi thought to himself, how many taels is this golden hairpin worth?
What others casually bet may be able to cover his debts for a year.
It was still not easy to pass through the crowds in Guanpu. There were people sending messages to pay New Year greetings everywhere, traffic was busy, and beggars came out in droves, taking this opportunity to ask for more reward money.
Wu Yi looked at the beggar and thought that the beggar was happier than him - he had read books, had fun, and knew what was good and what was bad, so the subsequent sufferings and hardships became extremely painful.
It would be great if, like in the story, a savior could suddenly rush out and save him from the fire and water.
Why did Mr. Cheng and Miss Mo suddenly disappear? Aren’t they always wandering around?
No matter who among them, as long as they appear, they can save his life.
I don't know which child let go of the "ground mouse" and ran around under people's feet. The children chased and shuttled back and forth. The streets became more and more chaotic. Wu Yi dodged twice, and when he looked up again, he saw that Wu Jin had already arrived.
Went ahead.
"Brother..." He raised his head and was about to shout when Cheng Ting suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Cheng Ting had his ears pulled, grinning all the way, and the appearance became more and more grotesque, holding a huge facial snake in his arms.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, they bury face snakes to ward off disasters. They are no longer than half an arm long and coiled up in a pile. The face snake Cheng Ting is holding is half a person tall, hard and straight, and can be used as a crutch when placed on the ground.
Cheng Ting was eager to break free from the hand that was holding him, and was using the huge face snake to fight back, making the person holding him clang.
The person who was knocked was the eldest brother of the Cheng family. He was ordered by his father to arrest Cheng Ting and return home. However, he got off to a bad start. The stone-faced snake knocked him all over his head. He quickly released his hands and covered his head.
When Cheng Ting got this opportunity, he turned around and ran away. Wu Yi's eyes lit up and he raised his hand and shouted at him: "Cheng San..."
Before the rest of the words could be shouted out, Cheng Ting had already rushed towards him, angrily covered his mouth, not allowing him to say a word more, and slapped him in the face.
Wu Yi didn't expect that Cheng Ting not only didn't listen to him complaining about his pain, but instead gave him a slap in the head. Tears burst into his eyes and Cheng Ting covered his mouth so that he couldn't even cry.
Cheng Ting dragged Wu Yi away as if he were taking a hostage. The streets were full of people and the ground was full of objects. They were no place to hide people.
The eldest brother of the Cheng family was still there, so close that he was frightened. He looked around and saw that there was only a carriage that could hide people. It was blocked here and could not move. The owner of the carriage left first with his entourage, leaving only
The driver of the bus is driving slowly here.
Cheng Ting saw that the coachman looked familiar, but couldn't remember who it was for a moment. When the coachman saw him, he immediately saluted and called Mr. Cheng.
In a hurry, Cheng Ting first pushed Wu Yi into the carriage, then climbed in, shouted to hurry up, covered the carriage curtain tightly, and said "hiss" to Wu Yi.
Wu Yi's words just rolled on his tongue, and he "shushed" him back.
Cheng Ting came to the window, opened the curtain a crack, and saw the eldest brother of the Cheng family and Wu Jin bumping into each other.
Cheng Ting looked away to avoid being discovered. At the same time, he felt a bump under his buttocks, as the carriage swayed.
After a few movements, the carriage stopped again. He quietly opened a crack and looked out, and saw Wu Jin and the eldest brother of the Cheng family walking over.
He saw the shadow of Cheng Taishan in the eldest brother of the Cheng family, and his whole body immediately ached, and even his breathing became softer. He hugged the noodle snake and did not dare to move, never daring to let his eldest brother discover his traces.
Facing Wu Yi's dull face, he hesitated for a moment and then reached out to cover his mouth.
At this moment, Brother Cheng had already approached the back of the carriage and complained bitterly to Wu Jin: "He thinks he has some ability, but he still wants to go to the military camp with others, and he doesn't even look at his body, and he can't even move.
If you stab someone, can you lift the knife?"
"Miss Mo...when did you leave?"
"The imperial edict was received on the 28th, telling her to leave immediately. On the 29th, she set off for the fortress. She has not passed the year in a row. I think your majesty...that person is not too broad-minded and has not asked anyone to pass the year."
"But you have a real job, so you can't wait?"
"There is no actual position. He only has a false title, called Zhonghou of Guide. People who know the imperial edict say that my uncle has lost his temper and thinks that by giving up the family business, he can intervene in the fortress and revive the Mo family.
As a result, His Majesty just gave him a title and ridiculed him."
"Guide... I remember he is a third-rank general, and Zhonghou is a seventh-rank general?"
A false title of a seventh-rank official, but the title of a third-rank general is still used, and it is still "Gui De", which makes people think a lot.
"No, I really don't know what my uncle is thinking. Where has Lao Sanzang gone? He won't be able to play with me even if he's in trouble. Let's see how I deal with him!"
Cheng Ting heard these last few words so clearly that he could even tell that his eldest brother must be gritting his teeth and gearing up at this time.
Cheng Ting was so shocked that he was sweating all over and felt that he was in danger.
"Third brother! Come out, and I will beg for mercy when I get back!"
Brother Cheng was nowhere to be found, so he immediately changed his face and pretended to be a good brother, trying to trick Cheng Ting into showing up.
"Brother has a good grasshopper cage, too..."
The rest of the words were still in my throat, but suddenly there was a "pop" sound on the street, and a "flower tube" exploded.
A fireworks seller yelled loudly: "You little bastard! Hozen! Steal your grandpa's fireworks! Let grandpa catch you, and I'll slap you hard enough that your butthole won't be able to hold it!"
The children who were hiding in Tibet burst into laughter and said in a strange manner: "Old bastard! Old hozen!"
At the same time, someone stole a few fireworks from the stall and lit them, causing smoke and sparks to explode everywhere on the spot.
Because it was daytime, the beauty of the fireworks was not obvious, but the smoke was huge and the sparks were scattered. They jumped higher than a ground mouse and burned a hole in a noble girl's bra in an instant.
Another spark fell on the ground and burned a hole as big as a fist on the deed paper. The banker jumped up and grabbed the vendor. The vendor went to grab the child again. Liuchi Lane suddenly became chaotic, and the crowd became confused.
The crowd was shut down and everyone ran to watch the excitement.
In the midst of the chaos, there was a sudden "crunch" and a child pushed down the rack of fireworks.
The fireworks rack was three stories high. The racks were made of thick solid wood. The fireworks above were connected in series with gunpowder wires. There were hundreds of explosions. When it fell down, the fireworks that were not tied tightly fell down with a thin splash, and then the entire cross.
They all turned to Wu Jin and the eldest brother of the Cheng family.
