Pick out the lice, press them to death one by one, and the corpses are all over the floor in no time.Glancing at the dead lice, Zhao Han actually felt a sense of accomplishment, like a cleanliness addict cleaning up the rubbish in the house.

After a full grate for half an hour, Zhao Han cleaned up the lice on the little girl's head, and only then did she pick up the comb and brush her hair.

Updo?Won't!

Styling?Won't!

Zhao Han only braided two big braids for his sister, and after braiding the braids, he felt that the middle hairline was twisted.

Zhao Zhenfang has been leaning against her brother's arms, it hurts when she brushes the lice, but she feels very comfortable when combing her hair.She couldn't help but close her eyes and enjoy, completely forgetting her troubles, as if returning to the carefree days before.

Feeling that her brother stopped moving, Zhao Zhenfang asked, "Second brother, are you ready?"

"It's done." Zhao Han replied.

Zhao Zhenfang stretched out her head and used the accumulated water on the ground outside the eaves as a mirror. She shone around there for a while, touched her braids and said happily, "Second brother's braids are so pretty!"

Zhao Han said, "When the rain stops, find a place to take a bath and get rid of the lice on your body."

Zhao Zhenfang stood up, picked up the grate and said, "I'll also comb my second brother's hair."

It hasn't rained for months, but it doesn't stop when it starts.

In the afternoon, the light rain turned into heavy rain again, and the brothers and sisters could only hide under the eaves to comb each other's hair and play with lice.

The little girl didn't know how serious it was, and Zhao Han's hair was so stiff again that when he was combing it, his scalp was aching.

Zhao Han endured it all the time, instead of making a sound to stop it, he closed his eyes in enjoyment.

"Oh, it's broken!" Zhao Zhenfang exclaimed.

Zhao Han looked back and laughed immediately. The little girl broke the comb teeth, which shows how much effort she used just now.

"Kill them!" Zhao Han commanded.

Zhao Zhenfang immediately pinched the root of the grate and killed all the sparse lice.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Han couldn't help laughing: "Haha, be happy!"

"Giggle cluck!"

Zhao Zhenfang also clapped her little hands and laughed along with her brother.

Zhao Han glanced at the rag shoes on the little sister's feet, and took out the two pairs of children's shoes from last night: "Little sister, try changing them."

Zhao Zhenfang happily took off her shoes and put them on, but unfortunately they were too big and didn't fit well, but Zhao Han was more suitable.

Zhao Han still let his sister put on good shoes, and then tied them with cloth ropes, at least it was better than the original rotten shoes with frayed soles.

Both brothers and sisters wore new shoes, and their hair was neatly combed, except for the tattered clothes that looked like little beggars.

For the time being, I dare not change my clothes, because they are made of silk, for fear of being robbed.

That night, Zhao Han sang a nursery rhyme to put his sister to sleep.Even if he fell asleep, the little sister hugged him tightly, as if she was afraid of losing her last relative.

Alas, Zhao Han sighed softly.

After another day, the sun finally came out, and the torrential rain fell for a day and two nights.

Zhao Han took out some copper coins in advance and went to buy dry food to satisfy his hunger. He didn't dare to take out the silver and jewelry that he had stolen.

On the way back and forth, Zhao Han secretly observed the situation in the city.

Tianjin City in Ming Dynasty, also known as "Abacus City", the whole city is like an abacus. According to legend, it was designed by Liu Bowen according to Feng Shui.

The city wall has a circumference of nine miles, and the streets in the city are nine vertical and nine horizontal.

An ancestral temple was built in the east of the city, an altar was built in the west of the city, a street market was in the south of the city, and an official office was in the north of the city.Up to now, there are five markets and one city in Tianjin City, and there are North Canal Wharf and South Canal Wharf outside the city.

The residents of the city are mostly hereditary officers and military households, and there are also countless wealthy businessmen and giants who have settled down.

The houses of those high-ranking officials and dignitaries often occupy dozens or hundreds of acres of land, and the arches and eaves are like princes and nobles.

There are two pools in the south of the city, which are large puddles left when the city was built, which can directly lead to the moat outside the city.Now it has also been occupied and has become a garden lake for the rich and powerful.

"Get out of the way, out of the way!"

Several strong horses rammed, the nobles galloped on their horses, and dozens of domestic slaves ran and chased after them.

After a few months of drought and two consecutive days of heavy rain, the dummies had been suffocated long ago, and now they have made an appointment to come out as a group to have fun.

Zhao Han pulled the little sister away suddenly, and the brother and sister were almost killed in the street.

"Ha ha!"

Looking at the angry horse in fresh clothes and thinking of the starving people outside the city like mummified corpses, Zhao Han couldn't help but sneer in return.

I wandered aimlessly to the southern city wall, where it also collapsed several dozen feet.

The imperial court couldn't afford the money for repairs, so it let Tianjin, a military important place, have a big gap in the north and south walls for 20 years!

Many city bricks were picked up by the people, but some were left scattered.

Zhao Han found a large green brick, took out the scissors that had killed the day before yesterday, smashed the brick and slammed it violently at the riveted joint.

Zhao Zhenfang squatted beside him and asked, "Second brother, what are you doing?"

"Use weapons for self-defense." Zhao Han replied.

"Boom!"

After hammering for a long time, the rivet broke and the scissors were smashed in half. Zhao Han was so tired that he was out of breath.

Half of the scissors were attached to the tip of the spear by Zhao Han, and they were repeatedly tied with cloth strips.

Bamboo spears become iron spears!

The remaining half of the scissors are also wrapped around the handle with a strip of cloth.In this way, it is a dagger with cloth strips to increase friction, so it is not afraid of slipping hands when blood is splashed.

The dagger is hidden in his arms, and the tip of the spear is also wrapped in cloth, so there is no need to show the edge for the time being.

The security in the city seems to be better than outside the city.

Before officially heading south, Zhao Han didn't plan to leave the city, and even wanted to try to find a job.

They found a small restaurant in the southeast of the city.An overly high-end restaurant would definitely refuse to accept unidentified persons. It is estimated that Zhao Han would be kicked away as soon as he walked to the door.

Perhaps the brother and sister are no longer unkempt, so even if their clothes are ragged, the shop assistant allows them to enter.

"Are you rich? What about your adults?" the shop clerk questioned.

Zhao Han took a stance, first tidied up his clothes, then bowed his hands, and said with nonsense: "Your Excellency Haojiao knows that the ancestor of this kid is the royal chef of Yingzong. When the Tumu Fort, the ancestors went out with the imperial car and unfortunately died in the chaos of the army."

Good guy, just looking at words and deeds, it doesn't come from the bottom, how can ordinary people have such tutoring knowledge.

The shop assistant was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously, "You... are you going to eat?"

Zhao Han sighed and said, "The boy's family is at a disadvantage, and he came to Tianjin to join his relatives. Unfortunately, the relatives are also struggling to survive. I have a court cooking skill and want to be self-reliant. I wonder if I can be a cook in your restaurant?"

Why did Zhao Han choose to be a chef for a living?

Because when he was in the army, as a recruit, he was successfully selected as the strongest branch of our army - the cooking soldier!

It is very impressive that recruits can enter the cooking class, which means that all military skills are absolutely excellent.

"You want to stay as a cook?"

The shop assistant looked at Zhao Han, shook his head and said, "I can't decide this, go and find the shopkeeper yourself."

Zhao Han took his sister and quickly found the shopkeeper and repeated what he just said.

"Is your ancestor really a royal chef?" the shopkeeper asked quietly.

Zhao Han lied without blinking, and said solemnly, "It's absolutely true."

The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "I'm really capable, but I can stay and help the cook, and I'll be able to cook when you are a few years older."

"Thank you!" Zhao Han said happily.

The shopkeeper added: "You said that you came to Tianjin to invest in relatives, and called your relatives to be insurers. The insurers outside the city are not counted, they can only be in the city."

Zhao Han was instantly dumbfounded.

In ancient times, all walks of life attached great importance to guaranteeing people.Even the students who take the exams must be guaranteed by three senior scholars to prevent the candidates from falsely reporting their personal information.

And shop recruitment, also need to protect people.

Even if you are an apprentice, you must have three guarantors, and the guarantors must also be clean local families.

A refugee of unknown origin who wants to apply for employment in Tianjin?

Dream it!

Zhao Han still didn't give up and said, "The shopkeeper, why don't you let the kid cook a dish, how about you taste it first?"

The shopkeeper seemed to see something, and sneered out a word: "Get out!"

Zhao Han persevered and said, "The shopkeeper, I can still tell the story, or I will tell you a paragraph now. Let's talk about the last year of the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a Niujia Village in Lin'an Prefecture..."

The shopkeeper had completely regarded Zhao Han as a liar and shouted, "Call me out!"

The shop assistant immediately came over to chase people away, Zhao Han had no choice but to get out of here.

After looking for a few more shops, no matter how much Zhao Han tried to push him, no matter what kind of work Zhao Han wanted to do, he had to meet a necessary premise: three local people from innocent backgrounds joined forces to protect the company!

It seems that there is no hope of working to make money, and we can only find another way out.

Then go south immediately, and get to the relatively warm south before autumn arrives, so as not to stay in Tianjin and freeze to death in winter.

Of course, there is one more thing that seems more urgent now.

Zhao Han came to a pharmacy and asked, "Boss, do you have any medicine for trauma?"

"What kind of trauma?" the shopkeeper asked back.

Zhao Han was silent for a moment, and chose to tell the truth: "Anal fissure..."

Yesterday, I was constipated, broke through the old wounds, and the blood flowed like an uncle visiting the door.

Chapter 006 [Stepping Through the Sky]

The ointment is very effective, but it is a bit expensive, three coins and a spoonful.

Smear on the affected area, it is cool and looks like Ma Yinglong.

It is estimated that it also has a bactericidal effect, and the swelling will disappear in half a day.Unfortunately, Zhao Han was always constipated, and the wound cracked as soon as he exerted force.

One tenth of the money stolen from Hou Ye's house was used up at once.

Alas, no matter what, we are also strong men.

The price of grain in Tianjin is getting more and more expensive. Take buying steamed buns, for example, the price has increased by [-]% in a few days. It must be that Tianjin grain merchants are sitting on the ground and raising prices.

Zhao Han didn't save money, he bought meat stuffed buns and vegetable buns every day.

Money can be earned again, but the body must be taken care of.

The brothers and sisters looked much better, they could run and dance, and they felt tired after walking for a while.

God is pitiful to see that two malnourished young children did not get sick after a heavy rain, which is also a fortune in misfortune.

Zhao Han acts very carefully. Every time he buys food, he is not in the same store.But he was still being targeted because he, a child, paid fines for several days in a pharmacy.

"Come on!"

Zhao Han took the little sister's hand, and at the corner of the street, he suddenly quickened his pace and ran into another alley.

A gangster followed, only to find that the target was missing, stomping and cursing in anger.

The brothers and sisters went straight to the southeast of the city, where there are Tianjin Wei School and Gongyuan, where Tianjin students study and take exams.

No matter how the world is getting worse and worse, scholars need to have a face, and hooligans dare not run wild near Wei Xue.

Opposite Wei Xue is a bookstore.

The brothers and sisters squatted under the eaves to eat, and the bookstore owner didn't chase them away, just told them not to get too close to the door.

A few Wei students came together, picked out the store for a while, and each left with their newly purchased books.

Zhao Han took a peek at it, and the students were full of novels.

He suddenly came to his mind, maybe he could make money by telling stories, and he could just make up Xianxia, ​​martial arts, etc.

That night, I slept under the eaves of the bookstore.

"Second brother, I'm cold."
