Daogu Xianfeng

There are five bazaars in Yangzhou city, among which Nanmenji facing the Yangtze River is the most prosperous, with many restaurants and hotels.The pier where Luo Feng and Liu Aidao got off the boat was nearby, and after walking around Yangzhou City, the two turned back again.

Helelou is one of the large restaurants in Yangzhou City, and it also undertakes accommodation business.At this moment, Luo Feng and Liu Aidao were standing under the Hele Building.

Liu Aidao didn't ask why Luo Feng let the little pickpocket go. In his opinion, the fairy master is so pure and kind, and the child's life situation is obviously not good. It is very normal for Luo Feng to do this.

The waiter of the big restaurant has always had a pair of venomous eyes, seeing the two people standing outside the restaurant for a while, appraised that the clothes of the two people are definitely people who can afford the money, so he decisively piled up his face and walked away with a smile Come to solicit business.Luo Feng and Liu Aidao had originally taken a fancy to this store, so they went in to have a rest.

The setting sun hangs in the sky like blood, setting off everything in the world is extremely desolate, just like the mood of the two people on the ground at the moment.

In the east of Luoyang City, a group of hooligans were punching and kicking two thin bodies, but the situation seemed horrible, but in fact, the two people who were pushed around on the ground eight out of ten times escaped.When a sturdy man spoke, a group of people stopped.I only heard the man say: "You can't just pass by when you're under my subordinates. If you don't pay the tribute today, you'll make up for it tomorrow! You should know the consequences if you don't pay it!" .

After a long while, the two people on the ground got up. During the period, they touched the pain and grinned again.I only heard the shorter boy on the left complaining: "Young Master Zhong, what a big day you are, you can't live it!" The other boy's tone was even more angry: "How do I know! You have to pay the boss if you don't. Boss can’t go on anymore! Both of us have bad luck today, you didn’t find the target at all, I found it but didn’t steal it! Damn it, isn’t it just a piece of jade, why is it so tight!”

It turned out that these two were the lowliest gangsters in Yangzhou City, one named Kou Zhong and the other named Xu Ziling.When fleeing famine the year before last, the two encountered war again, and they have been dependent on each other since they met in Yangzhou.Forced by life, I paid homage to the boss Yan Kuan (this is a name that I can't bear to look at directly!), although I was covered, I had to hand in a certain amount of property every day, so I became a pickpocket.

The two of them talked shoulder to shoulder for a while before turning into an abandoned manor overgrown with weeds.The entire abandoned garden is in ruins, and most of the buildings have collapsed due to years of disrepair, wind and rain erosion, and ants and moths.There is only a small stone house standing crookedly at one corner, which is also dilapidated.The tiled roof with holes in it was covered by a few planks, which barely served as a shelter.Hungry, he walked into the dilapidated house, sat on the stone bed, felt a stabbing pain in his buttocks, both of them groaned, and scolded their mother again: "His mother's words are so big, punching will kill you, alas!" After scolding for a while, I was tired and hungry, but I couldn't bear the tiredness, so I fell asleep.

It began to rain lightly in the middle of the night, and before the time of Mao, two extremely hungry children were woken up by their cramping stomachs. They rubbed their stomachs and crawled up to find a broken earthen jar to drink some of the remaining rainwater. Then they huddled together and waited for the dawn. .

Yangzhou City opened its doors punctually at Maoshi, as if in an instant, the entire Yangzhou City came alive.After morning class, he went downstairs, Liu Aidao talked about some of his friends near Yangzhou city, he was going to visit, and asked Luo Feng if he would go, Luo Feng had no purpose in coming to Yangzhou, so he simply followed.But when he arrived at the place, he saw the gate was closed. After asking the neighbors, he found out that Liu Aidao's friend went out the day before yesterday and said it would take half a month to come back, so he went shopping in the market.

There are many merchants in Yangzhou, and there are almost all merchants on the way back from the north of the city to the west of the city.After wandering all the way back, Luo Feng picked and bought some things.I saw a wilting chili tree at a herb stall. The stall owner accidentally got confused and regarded the chili pepper as a rare herb. As a result, no one bought it, and he was about to die.Luo Feng bought some other medicines, asked casually without any intention, and took them down.

Seeing that the pepper plant was about to die, he hurriedly took out a bottle of water and poured it on it, and hurried to the inn.When passing by a corner of the room, I caught a glimpse of a slightly familiar figure out of the corner of my eye, and didn't pay attention to it.

After returning to the inn to pack the chili peppers, it was only when I was free that I remembered the figure I saw just now, but it was only a blur for a moment.It happened that Liu Aidao came in out of breath, and hurriedly asked: "Just now when I passed a corner, I saw a familiar person, but I didn't look carefully, did you see him?" Liu Aidao calmed down and said helplessly: "Dao You walked really fast. There are many corners, which corner is it?" "I heard the sound of reading when I passed by just now, and it seems to be a school." "Oh, you are talking about the thief yesterday. I saw him and another boy The baby is eavesdropping on the teacher's lectures in the corner of the school." "Is that the kid from yesterday?" Luo Feng was thoughtful, this plot seems a bit familiar...

There are many food stalls in Yangzhou Nanmen Market, among which Lao Feng Vegetable and Meat Steamed Buns are the most famous.In addition, the old Feng's concubine, Zhensao, who is in charge of selling buns, has a beautiful face, which has become a living sign to attract business.

When Lao Feng brought a plate of steaming vegetable and meat buns from the kitchen inside to the shop for Mrs. Zhen to sell, the impatient customers rushed to hand over their money.Sister-in-law Zhen was so busy that she suddenly poked her head out from the crowd buying buns, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, eight buns." Sister-in-law Zhen responded, wrapped the buns and handed them over, looking at the man He reached out his hand as if to hand over the money, but was suddenly grabbed by another hand stretched out from the side: "Good boy, stole my money to buy buns, see if I don't beat you!"

The boy who bought the buns screamed, turned around and ran away.The boy in the back ran after him, but before Mrs. Zhen could react, the two ran and chased, and quickly disappeared into the noisy crowd.

"Hey, I haven't paid you yet..." Sister-in-law Zhen looked at the direction in which the two of them were running away, but she couldn't see anyone for a long time. When she wanted to call her husband to chase after her, she hesitated for a while, but finally kept silent.

In a corner a few blocks away, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were sitting on the ground, chewing on buns.

"Ha, Young Master Ling really has you. You bumped into that rich woman when you were running just now, and you managed to snatch her purse. It's faster than my hands." "That's it!" The two teenagers bit the buns for a moment Satisfied, I suddenly saw two Taoist priests heading north on the street over there.

Kou Zhong poked Xu Ziling and said: "Master Ling, look, that trail is the fat sheep I targeted yesterday, and there are several pieces of jade on its waist. If I got a piece yesterday, neither of us would be beaten."

Xu Ziling looked at Luo Feng who was about to walk out of sight in a gorgeous cloth, and enviously said: "Being a Taoist priest is so rich, I want to be a Taoist priest too." Kou Zhong, who was happily eating buns, didn't hear clearly , vaguely said: "En? What did you just say?" "Nothing..."

After eating the buns, the two stood up clapping their buttocks. The cold morning wind blew, and the two in tattered clothes shivered.Xu Ziling thought of the money bag, and said, "I haven't looked at the money bag that I just brought along." He took out the money bag, opened it, and said, "Young Master Zhong, there are more than one or two taels of silver!" Kou Zhong hurriedly leaned over, "How much is one tael?" Staring at the tael and fifteen five baht coins, he shoved Xu Ziling with his shoulder and said happily, "The money handed in is now guaranteed. If we are lucky, we can touch it again." Come on, save some money and live a good life!" He rubbed his hands indiscriminately, and put his arm around Xu Ziling's shoulder: "So! There is no unparalleled road, and with our abilities, we will surely be able to create a new life in the future. Let’s go out.” Xu Ziling laughed, “What’s our ability? What’s our ability? Don’t tell me it’s stealing.” The two walked out of the corner one after the other, and the crisp laughter unique to teenagers was shattered in the wind.

Yangzhou City has always been bustling with people, and these two days have been particularly lively, with a huge passenger flow.But those foreign businessmen are almost not easy to mess with at first glance.Two hours later, the two people who had traveled around Yangzhou city gathered in this corner again.After two hours of nothing, both of them lowered their heads.Xu Ziling lamented: "It seems that today's good luck has been used up, and the people who are walking around are either poor or with guards." Kou Zhong was depressed for a while, and said: "Fortunately, there are young master Ling's harvest in the morning, otherwise we will go and listen Old Master Bai, let’s give a lecture, I haven’t been there for several days.”

So the two went to a nearby school one after the other. There were many students scattered in the house with white walls and black tiles. On the podium sat an old man with a gray beard and a kind face, shaking his head and giving a lecture: "Mingfeng is here. Bamboo, Baiju’s food court. It turns into a cover of grass and trees, and it reaches thousands of places. Covering this body and hair, the four elements and five constants. Respectful but raised, how dare you damage it. Females admire chastity, males only..." The tone is drawn, and the cadence is frustrating. , and the students below followed suit.Afterwards, the old master began to explain, and the two pairs of ears outside also listened with gusto.

Old Master Bai's school has elementary school and high-level students. After teaching today's elementary school thousand-character prose, he will start to check the homework of those high-level students.Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were fascinated by what they heard, and at the same time despised those who memorized the wrong books, secretly said: "I understand everything even if I listen to it, but I can't remember it, how stupid!" Suddenly felt someone pat on the shoulder, just now Thinking impatiently, remembering that I was eavesdropping, I thought I was caught, so I turned my head quickly.

Looking at Luo Feng who was about the same age as them but a head taller than them, he immediately recognized the person he had mentioned earlier in the morning, and wanted to yell.Luo Feng interrupted directly: "Do you want to be discovered by that master?" The two hurriedly covered their mouths and looked at Luo Feng in surprise.

Luo Feng just said: "Follow me." Not afraid of the two running away, he turned around and left.Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other, turned around and were about to run away.Just lifting one foot, Luo Feng flicked the fly whisk backwards, and saw a Wuxing energy blocking their feet like a rope, tripping them up and gnawing mud.They got up in a disheveled manner, looked at each other, recalled what they saw just now, suddenly their eyes lit up, winked at each other and followed Luo Feng away.
