Needless to say, these four so-called "beggars" are none other than Xiao Han and Liu Hongji, who were living in Qinling a while ago!
And when they thought of the past few days in Qinling, they almost cried!
In the ice and snow, not only were they short of food and clothing, they couldn't even find a good place to sleep at night. They were often so cold that they could only hug each other shivering and survive the night.
Think about it, among them there are two dignified generals and a confidant of the emperor, but they are as cold as dogs in the wild. I guess this is a strange story through the ages, right?
Of course, the only thing to be thankful for this time is that it is different from the last time when the earth dragon turned over and caused huge damage, leading to dead ends and broken walls everywhere.
They were simply lost this time. As long as there was a compass and the sun to identify the direction, they could always get back on the right road and get out of the Qinling Mountains!
It is estimated that it is precisely because of this belief that a few people were able to walk out of the mountains so quickly and come to Lantian County at the foot of the Qinling Mountains.
"Can Lao Zhu find someone to help?"
In the tavern, Xiao Han and his party couldn't wait for the bone soup to boil. They were like reincarnations of starving ghosts. They grabbed the still red bones and started to chew them.
Until the bone was gnawed so clean that even the dogs outside saw it and ran away in tears, Xiao Han breathed a sigh of relief, threw down the bone in his hand, and asked Liu Hongji, who was sitting opposite.
Sitting across the table, Liu Hongji, with a clean beard and a smooth head, was tearing off a large piece of meat with his mouth open, swallowing it directly into his stomach without even chewing it, and then wiping his mouth, He said angrily:
"Hasn't he already taken your badge? How can he not find anyone! If nothing else, as long as he goes to the county office and gives a shout, the county magistrate will immediately prepare manpower! This Lantian is Your daughter's fiefdom! You are her father! It is only natural for me to molest my daughter! Even if the emperor comes, he can't say anything wrong!"
"This is right!"
Seeing that Liu Hongji's words were absolutely certain, Xiao Han breathed out a sigh of relief, feeling that the huge stone that had been weighing on his heart these days had finally loosened a little.
Although, after they came out this time, seven or eight days had passed since the big avalanche, and the chance of them surviving was almost zero.
But Xiao Han just refused to give in! That's why when we entered the city, we did nothing else and shilled the guard who was traveling with us to go to the county to mobilize people into the mountains!
You want to see people when you are alive, and you want to see corpses when you die! This is Xiao Han's death order to him!
What a feast! Even though the dishes in this tavern are all boiled with water and not delicious, for Xiao Han and others who are extremely hungry, the taste is not important. As long as it can fill their stomachs, it is the ultimate delicacy!
Thinking about the past few days, at first, they could make do with the dry food provided by Ren Qingdai, and then they would catch some blind game along the way and roast them before eating them.
But later on, they were not so lucky and kept encountering wild game!
So he could only rely on the small amount of dry food Ren Qing got and chew snow cubes to satisfy his hunger!
It was only then that Xiao Han realized how slow hunger was!
In the past, I forgot which big shot said: It’s better to be hungry! Because a hungry person has only one thought in his mind, and that is to eat! And people who are full will have all kinds of strange thoughts in their minds!
I remember that when Xiao Han heard this sentence, he sneered at it, but after this experience, he realized that that person was right! When people are hungry, they really only have one thought in their mind! If he hadn't walked out so quickly this time, Xiao Han felt that he would have the idea of cannibalism.
"The shopkeeper's!"
After finishing the meal first, Liu Hongji touched his round belly and shouted at the shopkeeper.
When the shopkeeper saw the "distinguished guest" greeting him, he immediately trotted over, nodded and bowed and said: "Here, there! What else do you have to say, sir?"
I have to say that no matter what year it is, the saying "rich people are great" will never go out of style!
At the beginning, the shopkeeper looked at Xiao Han and the others like flies, wanting to kick them all out.
But after looking at the gold leaves all over the place, his attitude immediately changed 180 degrees. Not only did he push away the waiter and come to serve him personally, but his respectful attitude was even more flattering than the girls in the brothel. It is estimated that he will never be so concerned about serving his ancestors in this life!
"Bring another bottle of wine!" Liu Hongji said to the shopkeeper, shaking the empty wine jar in front of him.
"Okay, okay!"
When the shopkeeper saw this, he nodded and picked up the empty wine jar. He was about to change the wine when he heard Liu Hongji calling him again from behind.
"etc!"
Liu Hongji shouted to the shopkeeper. When he saw him turn around, he touched his clothes, took out an empty box from his arms, and said to him, "Do you know this thing?"
"Is this one?" The shopkeeper frowned, carefully looked at the box in Liu Hongji's hand, and asked uncertainly after a while: "Is this, fairy smoke?"
"Huh? Are you really knowledgeable?" Liu Hong basically asked casually, without much hope, but now that the shopkeeper recognized it, his eyes immediately lit up: "Then do you sell it in this county? Go buy me two boxes of it! I want top quality!"
"Two boxes? Top quality?"
No, the store manager immediately looked embarrassed after hearing Liu Hongji's words: "Sir, it's not that I won't run errands for you. It's such a precious thing. Not to mention Lantian, even Chang'an doesn't have much. Ordinary people don't have much." You can’t buy it at all!”
"Oh? Is this thing so easy to sell?" When Liu Hongji heard this, he suddenly became interested! After all, he has a stake in this thing, so how could he not be interested in it?
"Hey, stop talking!" The shopkeeper didn't even know that the people in front of him were the big bosses behind the tobacco industry. Hearing this, he just sighed and said: "Nowadays, all the powerful people in Chang'an regard it as a refined way to smoke a fairy cigarette. What happened! The cigarette shop was sold out even before the goods arrived!
By the way, do you know about Japan? They went to Chang'an a few days ago and probably saw the dignitaries smoking, so they also ran to buy them. It turned out that the fairy cigarettes were prepared for the people who ordered them and were not sold to them. These Japanese people were so angry that they started to fight I hurt the shopkeeper who sells fairy cigarettes! "
"Japanese?" Hearing this name, not only Liu Hongji's eyes widened, but also Xiao Han and Ren Qing who were drinking soup put down their bowls and looked at the shopkeeper together.
"Yes! Japanese people!" The shopkeeper also wanted to show off in front of Xiao Han and others. Hearing this, he smiled proudly, then stretched out his hand to touch his neck. Thinking about it, something felt wrong, so he raised his hand to his chest again. Said: "I heard that those Japanese people are so tall, and the horses they ride are smaller than donkeys! They are just like those from Xiao'er country, but although they are small, they have a bad temper. I heard that they will sue Sanyuan County when they come up. Hou, Mr. Xiao Dahou..."
