Although the parting was a little sad, it was quickly overcome by joy. Thinking of the colorful world at the foot of the mountain, Sun Lei felt better.
After going to town for a big meal, Sun Lei suddenly thought of Lu Zhishen again. Usually, the two of them sneaked down the mountain to drink and eat meat. Now that there was no one at the table, he inevitably missed the one next to him who was always gruff and rude. A cheerful man with rectum.
Touching the dome hat on his head, Sun Lei didn't like it. The hair had only grown for more than a month and was still a little short. It was very conspicuous after taking off the hat.
Seeing a Fan Yangli selling on the street, Sun Lei bought one directly. This white Fan Yangli looked very good, and even a little fashionable. It was a hat made of white felt fur, with a semicircular body and a brim. It is wide and shaped like a lotus leaf, and there is a bunch of red tassels on the top. It can block the sun and wind and rain. You can't see your hair when you wear it. It is really a rare good hat.
Wearing Fan Yangli, carrying the whistle stick, and buying a cloak to put on, Sun Lei finally felt a bit like a knight walking in the world.
Sun Lei has already thought about where to go. Tokyo, the current capital of the country, also known as Bianjing, is supposed to be the most lively place in the world. How can I not see it?
There are two ways to go to Tokyo from Mount Wutai. One is to go down the mountain from the east and take Damingfu in Beijing. The other is to go down from the west and take Taiyuan Prefecture and Dongluzhou south to Mengzhou and then follow the Yellow River to Tokyo.
Sun Lei must take a shortcut if he wants to go to Tokyo. The road from Damingfu is flat and it takes more than a month to reach Tokyo.
After asking about the road, Sun Lei headed south along the main road. Sun Lei had already understood that there are not often dormitories on the road. You must have a plan when traveling. If you miss the dormitory, you will have to sleep in the wild.
After driving for several days, Sun Lei finally arrived at Zhending Mansion. This was the first big city he encountered after descending Mount Wutai.
Sun Lei had money, so he went straight into the big city, ready to have a good meal and rest. In the past few days, he had to sleep in the open air in order to travel, and because many restaurants and shops were open in remote places, it could be said that there was no place to go. There was only one family in a radius of more than ten miles. Sun Lei was worried that he would not enter a shady store, and he would only dare to rest when he encountered villages and towns with many people.
"Oh, this person just doesn't feel at ease walking around the world!"
Sun Lei sighed and thought of Lu Zhishen again. If Master Lu were here, he would be able to block the open and secret arrows in front.
Zhending Mansion is a big city. After the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture was occupied by the Liao Kingdom, the Liao people were ready to attack Hebei Roadside Defense. Big cities like Zhending Mansion became the safest place, supporting the Hebei West Road. border defense.
It is also very common to dress up with Fan Yangli and a whistle stick on the back. It must be close to the Taihang Mountains. Banditry is also very serious in this area. People passing by often carry weapons such as whistle sticks.
After entering Zhending Mansion, Sun Lei found a good inn and stayed there first. He asked the waiter to bring some food and wine to the room, and then went to sleep directly after eating.
Sun Lei was not in a hurry to go to Tokyo alone. Seeing the prosperity of Zhending Mansion, he wanted to stay in Zhending Mansion for a few more days. Watching street jugglers and listening to roadside plays every day was considered a pleasure.
"Da Lang! Da Lang, save my son!"
Sun Lei was eating some fruits bought by the roadside, and was about to go to the street where he saw the sideshow yesterday to watch another sideshow. Suddenly, a ragged old woman on the side of the road ran over and hugged his leg and started crying.
When Sun Lei saw that it was an old woman, he didn't dare to move. He secretly screamed, this ancient porcelain is here!
"Old lady, I don't know you!"
Sun Lei took a closer look and realized that she didn't seem to be a porcelain maker. Before he came, the old woman was sitting on the roadside with a broken bowl in front of her. She was clearly a beggar.
"Old lady, are you hungry? These are for you!"
Sun Lei thought that the old woman wanted to eat, so he handed the fruit in his hand to the old woman.
"Da Lang! Da Lang! Save my son! Save my son!"
The old woman didn't even look at the fruits, she still cried and howled. Her sad voice made everyone on the street look over.
No matter where you are or what era you are in, people don’t take it too seriously to watch the excitement. A crowd gathered around him soon. Some women pointed and whispered, as if they guessed that Sun Lei was an unfilial son and his own grandmother didn’t take care of him. .
Sun Lei really couldn't argue. He didn't know this old woman at all, so how could he start talking about his father and son.
"Old lady, use this money to buy food!"
Sun Lei only thought that the old woman was asking for money, so he took out some copper coins and handed them to the old woman, hoping that she would let him go and beg for food elsewhere.
"Da Lang, save my son, save my son!"
The old woman didn't even look at the money, she continued to cry, her voice was hoarse.
"Old lady, we don't know each other, and you're not willing to leave even if I give you the money. Are you trying to blackmail me?"
Sun Lei was a little angry. You asked for food, but I also gave you food and money. What does it mean to live and die?
"What are you doing around here? Do you want to be beaten? Get out of here! Get out of here!"
Sun Lei saw more and more people surrounding him, and he was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger. He banged his whistle stick on the ground, as if he was going to beat him. Those who were watching the excitement saw Sun Lei going crazy and dispersed.
"Old lady, don't push yourself too far!"
Sun Lei slammed his whistle stick on the ground, making a dull "dong" sound on the stone slab.
"Dalang, go and save my son, go and save my son!"
Sun Lei originally wanted to scare the old lady, but it was of no use at all. When the old lady saw the whistle stick, she immediately gained strength and dragged Sun Lei away, which was still the direction out of the city.
Sun Lei was very angry, but he still couldn't swing the whistle stick. After all, this was an old woman with white hair in front of him. Judging from the weather-stained face, she must be in her sixties, which is considered a long life in this era. I strongly recommend it. He fell to the ground and probably lost half of his life. If he were to hit the whistle, he would be meeting the King of Hell.
"Old lady, this is not a hurry. I see you are hungry too. Eat something first and wait until you have more strength."
Seeing that the old woman's mind seemed a little unclear and crazy, Sun Lei's heart softened. A normal person would be afraid when seeing this whistle stick, but the old woman didn't react at all, her eyes were cloudy, and she was probably half crazy, so she recognized the wrong person.
Seeing a stall selling Chaos on the roadside, Sun Lei supported the old woman and walked over.
"Go away, beggar, you've soiled my tables and chairs and affected my business!"
Seeing that Sun Lei didn't leave her alone, the old woman sat quietly at the table. Sun Lei got up and was about to buy two bowls of Chaos. Unexpectedly, the vendor selling Chaos happened to look over and thought it was the old beggar woman who had made Sun Lei unhappy. Come on, he ran over and yelled at the old woman, even waving the linen cloth on his shoulders to get ready to hit her.
The old woman was too frightened to speak. She pulled Sun Lei's clothes tightly, as if she had been yelled at many times. She lowered her head and shrank her neck in fear, and almost hid under the table.
"What's wrong with the beggar? I can't afford your chaos?"
Sun Lei was angry and had no place to vent his anger. Seeing the stall owner's arrogance, he took out a handful of copper coins and slapped them on the table.
"Give me two bowls of Chaos. The skin is thin but the meat is thick. If one of them is broken or the filling is not big enough or the skin is not thin enough, try my whistle stick. I guarantee you won't be able to get out of bed this month!"
Sun Lei swung his whistle stick and hit the stall owner with a loud sound. The stall owner was so frightened that he did not dare to move or hide away. He closed his eyes and the stick fell, ready to scream in pain and then roll on the ground to beg for mercy. , who knew that the stick would fall lightly on his shoulder, like a fallen leaf.
"Remember my request! The dishes and chopsticks also need hot water to wash."
Sun Lei then put away his whistle stick and helped the old woman sit down.
