Lang riding a war horse

After a lot of twists and turns at the city gate, in early spring, it got dark very quickly, and it was already Xu time when Gu Zhen and his party really entered the county.

With the sound of horseshoes, Gu Zhen spoke softly to Jiang Yunxuan, but he was listening to the movement outside. Unfortunately, besides the faint whimpering of wild cats and dogs outside, There was no human voice at all.

Curious, Gu Zhen lifted the curtain and looked outside. There was no light at all. The dilapidated and dark street could only be glimpsed by the same blurred moonlight. A gloomy wind blew by, and a The broken white paper lantern rolled past Gu Zhen's field of vision, and the uncomfortable sound reached Gu Zhen's heart, making him shiver.

Gu Zhen lowered the curtain, Jiang Yunxuan looked at him eagerly, and asked, "Sir, when are we going to eat? Xuan'er is hungry."

Gu Zhen touched Jiang Yunxuan's head, and comforted him: "Wait a little longer, there are no shops at the moment, let's go ahead." Then he raised his head and said to Wang Gonggong: "It's still early, why are you on the street? There was no one there, not even a watchman in sight, and not even the shop opened."

The prince replied: "There was a plague in Taifeng County two years ago, and it has been declining since then. There is no one and no money. Many people say that Taifeng County is half a dead city."

Gu Zhen nodded. He also knew about this. Taifeng County is not far from the imperial city, but it is so poor. It is because of this natural disaster that 70.00% of the population in the city was more or less infected and died. .As for Gu Zhen's handling at that time, it was simpler and more rude. He directly gathered the sick people together, whether they were alive or dead, or half-dead, and burned them all. The place where they gathered was Chang Xianglian went to the deserted village outside the imperial city where she distributed sweets when she was young.

No population means no labor force and productivity, no inflow of foreign population, local population continues to die and move out, resulting in Taifeng County getting poorer and poorer.

Gu Zhen knew all these things, but he didn't expect that he would be in such a lifeless state now.

Maybe it would be better during the day, Gu Zhen thought to himself.

Jiang Yunxuan raised his head at this moment and asked, "Will you die if you get the plague?"

Gu Zhen nodded and said, "If you don't get effective treatment, you will die."

Jiang Yunxuan blinked again, and asked, "Will Xuan'er get the plague?"

Gu Zhen patted his little head and said: "No, Xuan'er is the real dragon emperor, no... ouch!"

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard Ye Ran, the driver of the horse, yell, and the fast carriage slammed to the brakes. Gu Zhen almost hit the door frame, and hurriedly lifted the curtain in front of him, and asked: gone?"

Ye Ran turned around and said, "Sir, someone stopped the car."

Only then did Gu Zhen see a child kneeling ten steps away from the front of the carriage, his face was covered by his overly long hair, even though his clothes were very loose and tattered, it could be seen that the child was skinny and small in stature.

Jiang Yunxuan also poked his head out, looked at it, then covered his mouth and nose in disgust, and shouted: "Wow, beggar, beggar, you are so dirty, go away!"

Gu Zhen let out a "tsk", patted Jiang Yunxuan, and told Eunuch Wang to keep an eye on him, while he wanted to go down to have a look, but was stopped by He Xuliang, and said, "I'll come."

Gu Zhen nodded, without forcing, He Xuliang slowly walked towards the child, looked down at the ant that could be trampled into pieces with one foot, and said, "What's the matter?"

The child didn't look up, but just raised his hand to wipe his face, as if he was wiping his tears, and then spit out a mosquito-like tune from his throat, sobbing, "My lord... my lord, do me a favor... give me alms." Let's eat...Xiaobao hasn't eaten for three days..."

Gu Zhen in the back couldn't hear their conversation, at this time Xiyue also came from behind, Gu Zhen asked her: "When you were in Qiong Oak, did you ever hear Ru Xue mention how to cure the plague?"

Xiyue shook her head, saying no.

Yeran interjected, "It seems to be a child who stops a car to beg for food."

Gu Zhen looked up again, and saw that He Xuliang sucked a small bag of dry food from the carriage behind him and threw it to the child. The child immediately hid the small cloth bag in his arms, kowtowed to He Xuliang several times, and shook his head. He stood up unsteadily and walked away with his weak body bent.

Looking at this scene, Gu Zhen felt very uncomfortable. Whether he said he was the Holy Mother or he was machismo, he hated seeing the miserable appearance of children and old people the most, so he jumped out of the carriage and came to He Xuliang, asking, "What's going on?" ?”

He Xuliang said: "I'm just hungry."

Gu Zhen nodded, watched the child's stumbling back standing beside He Xuliang silently for a while, then turned around and sighed, "Let's go."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Gu Zhen turned around, something happened. A big dog sprang out from nowhere in the darkness, and took away the child who was holding the dry food carefully in one bite. He turned around, but he was far less quick than He Xuliang. In a flash, He Xuliang flew after him, leaving a sentence: "Don't wait for me." Then he disappeared in an instant.

Gu Zhen was a little anxious, and shouted: "Then how can I find you?"

In the darkness, He Xuliang's steady voice came: "I will find you wherever you are."

Gu Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then he was hit by the red heart, standing on the spot and holding his chest, to slow down the burst of spring heart.

This line, it can be said that the boyfriend's strength is maxed out.

007: "MDZZ."

He Xuliang felt that he didn't need to worry about dealing with a dog, Gu Zhen. Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Yunxuan kept yelling that he was hungry, so Gu Zhen didn't stop, and hurried back to the carriage, telling Yeran to hurry up. It's best to find the Tongfu Inn that the veteran said. If you can't find it, you have to find a store as soon as possible to take a rest.

As soon as he got into the car, Jiang Yunxuan's small body rushed over, raised his head and asked: "Did the little beggar just now be picked up by a dog? Will he be eaten?"

Gu Zhen sighed and said: "Xuan'er, don't call him a little beggar, he is just like us, he is a common man, a human being, you understand?"

Jiang Yunxuan refused to accept it, and argued: "No, Xuan'er is not so dirty and doesn't wear shoes."

"That's just because you were born in a better place than him. If you were born here and grew up here, there is no father to take care of you, no queen mother to cherish you, no princes and fathers to take care of you, no eunuchs and maids to play with you, you can't eat. If you are not warm enough, will your life be better than him?"

Jiang Yunxuan's big eyes lingered on Gu Zhen's serious face for a while, feeling a little wronged, so Gu Zhen continued to say: "Xuan'er, remember, you, me, and anyone else are not different in essence. , You’ll be hungry if you don’t eat, you’ll be thirsty if you don’t drink water, don’t treat anyone differently, okay?”

Jiang Yunxuan seemed to understand, but for the first time, he began to think about how terrible it would be if he had no food and no one to play with...

While speaking, Yeran's voice came from outside: "Sir, Tongfu Inn has arrived."

Gu Zhen hurriedly opened the curtain, and a slightly shabby but clean two-story building was displayed in front of his eyes. The plaque was only a faint red paint, and it could be seen that it was a vermilion plaque before, and there were two lamps hanging on both sides. The red lanterns, the flames are faint, but it is a rare light in the dilapidated surrounding area.

The corner of Gu Zhen's mouth twitched, and he said: "Wow, Brother Seven, are you so lazy in this system? It's fine if you don't pinch my face again. Are you fucking teasing me in this Tongfu Inn? I doubt I will see it when I go in later." The talented old Bai Li has a big mouth!"

That's right, the outside of the Tongfu Inn is exactly the same as the sitcom in his previous life.

007 picked his nose, and said: "How many high-rise buildings, rivers, lakes and seas are there in "The Great General of the Mad Demon", just steal a while and be lazy, don't accept it, and beat me if you don't accept it?"

Gu Zhen rolled his eyes and said, "Heh, copying the dog."

If 007 really had boogers, he would really bounce them on Gu Zhen's face, saying, "Can artificial intelligence be called plagiarism? This is a tribute to the original work, you know what!"

Gu Zhen gave him a little middle finger in his heart.

Having said that, you have to go in if you have to go in. Just as the group of people entered, the waiter in front of the counter who had been dozing off with a wick in front of the counter suddenly woke up, rubbed his eyes, and suddenly saw a line of handsome men and women in brocade clothes and beautiful women Jia Zhengtai in front of him. , I was stunned for a while, and then exclaimed in surprise: "Oh, the guests are invited, the shopkeeper, here are the guests!"

Gu Zhen looked around for a while, I don't know whether it is gratification or disappointment, it is different from the TV series, it is even more dilapidated, and the waiter is not Lao Bai! !

I want to give a bad review! !

Xiao Er yelled upstairs, then stepped forward to greet him courteously: "Where are the guest officers calling? How many rooms, do you want something to eat?"

Yeran and Xiyue were recruited into Rusongmen since they were young, practiced martial arts every day, and were later taken away by Gu Zhen. Not only are they cold-tempered, but their experience in dealing with people is infinitely close to zero. Of course, that He Xuliang needless to say No one dared to stop him even if he stayed at the hotel without paying, so the job of interacting with people fell on Gu Zhen, and he smiled and said to Xiao Er: "Come to the fourth room. Then boil some hot water and send it over, and then cook some casual meals, it would be best if there are fish, shrimp and crabs, the money will not be short, please make it clean."

Gu Zhen took out a piece of silver and handed it to the little second-hand man. The boy's eyes lit up, and he immediately rolled his eyes with a smile, nodded and bowed his head and said, "Come on, little one, go and order the kitchen to cook for the masters. My shopkeeper will come down and show you the room."

Gu Zhen smiled and nodded to show that he understood, and the little girl disappeared in a hurry. Gu Zhen touched his chin and thought that there was nothing unusual about the inn at present, and couldn't help but worry about how He Xuliang chased after a dog So slow, not coming back yet.

At this time, there were a few footsteps from upstairs, and the person arrived before the sound, and shouted: "My God, who is here?"

This familiar accent made Gu Zhen tremble again, and he said with contempt in his heart: "Fuck, is there a lower limit for your hot chicken system? You copied all the human settings?"

007: "????"

Immediately the shopkeeper appeared, a pretty young woman.

Gu Zhen heaved a sigh of relief, forget about his accent, if Yan Ni's face really appeared, he would really play tricks! !
