Soldiers gathered everywhere on the street. The situation happened too suddenly, and many people didn't know what happened. The atmosphere on the street was not very dignified.
"Where should we go now?" Zhuo'er asked with a confused look on his face.
"I think Huai'an City may not be able to be defended. Just in case, we'd better leave here early." Shen Jie said.
"I forgot to tell you to pick up your luggage on the way. Do you have money now?" Zhuo'er looked at Shen Jie.
There was nothing she could carry with her in the dress she was wearing. He subconsciously reached into his arms and took out four ingots of silver. His face suddenly brightened: "Look, it's still there. If I hadn't had something in my arms, A small pocket, we have nothing now." Shen Jie said.
"Before we take advantage of the chaos, we should quickly find a market to buy more things. Even if we escape, we won't starve to death." Zhuo'er suggested.
Shen Jie thought it made sense: "You are right. This is Ling Tiancheng's territory. If they try to make things difficult for us, I can't guarantee that I will escape unscathed."
Zhuo'er nodded and said, "I thought you were fearless. You know, I was shocked when I saw you climb up the tower today. How did you do that?"
"I'm not that strong, I just have more strength. Believe it or not, if you run fast enough, you can climb the city wall as well as walking on flat ground."
"You seem to be right, can you teach me." Zhuo'er wanted to learn.
"But the process is very tiring." Shen Jie looked up at her and said. His strength relies entirely on his own efforts, absorbing the magic power transformed by the laws of heaven in many worlds. It does not rely on exercise at all. If it is really possible, wouldn't it be in this world? It is no longer the mortal plane.
"I can bear it, I don't want to be a burden to you." Zhuo'er said seriously with a pretty face.
"Then you can follow me now, okay?" Shen Jie said with a smile.
Shen Jie pulled her and walked quickly. She also knew that the situation was not good. In fact, there were many like them on the street, and the two of them were not particularly outstanding.
"There is a market over there." Shen Jie pointed to a place on the left where people gathered. A couple and their children had just come out of there. The child was eating candied haws in his mouth, and he looked like he was enjoying it. , making his parents feel pity and love. The young couple looked at each other and smiled happily at each other.
"Look at how happy their family is. We want to have a child sometime." Zhuo'er asked, remembering that she and Shen Jie were still a couple in name only. If they wanted to have a child, wouldn't they want that one? At this point, She was a little embarrassed to say such words.
"We have no fixed place to live now. Let's wait until we are stable later, otherwise our children will suffer the same fate as us." Shen Jie said, after experiencing several worlds, his biggest goal now is to live forever. Life is short, no matter how brilliant you were in the past. , you will still be a pile of ashes after death, and hundreds of years later, there will no longer be any trace of your existence in the world. Only eternal life can continue to be glorious, and only by struggling in this way can you have motivation.
Shen Jie and Zhuo'er happened to pass by them: "I still have eighty taels of silver here. If we go to war soon, it's just a pile of scrap metal. You can spend it on whatever you want."
"You know, what we women want to hear most is what you say." Zhuo'er smiled, her skin that could be broken by a blow was as tender, white, and as jade-like as water, and her eyes were as clear as water. Her smile made his heart feel hotter.
As soon as the two people entered, they saw a shop selling rice dumplings. The prices were marked on the nameplate hanging in mid-air. Shen Jie could also understand the words, "I'll buy a mung bean rice dumpling. It only costs two copper coins." Jie looked at Zhuoer.
"One for each person." Zhuo'er felt that the meat dumplings were too greasy and could not be eaten on this hot day.
In addition to the people walking by on the arch bridge, there were also many people leaning on the railings, especially young people. The two of them were standing on a stone road on the right side of the arch bridge. There were three young women separated from them. They could see several other people in that direction. A man dressed as an actor was singing Huangmei Opera, and Zhuoer liked to join in the fun.
"It's quite delicious." Zhuo'er put the half-opened rice dumpling leaf on the handle, which was sticky.
After Shen Jie finished eating the rice dumplings, he took her into this quaint old street.
The skin of the fried tofu on the iron plate was charred, soft and tender, and the surface was sprinkled with a layer of chili powder. Zhuo'er took a bite and said, "It's delicious, but the spiciness didn't melt into it."
It was also the first time for Shen Jie to eat this kind of fried tofu. It looked delicious and tasted good, but it just didn't have the same flavor as the stinky tofu he had eaten in Changsha before. However, not long after walking, he could already smell the unique smell.
Before that, she ordered a bamboo tube of orange juice.
The cool water from the old well is particularly refreshing to drink when your mouth is spicy and thirsty.
At the end of the street, a cool breeze blew from the willow trees. Just as Zhuo'er put the last piece of stinky tofu wrapped in the paper into his mouth, he handed over another package of fried squid, sprinkled with a layer of chili pepper. pink.
"It's delicious, but after eating it, you'll get pimples on your face." She was so happy eating it that she was still complaining about why he kept buying such heavy flavors.
"Water, give me water quickly."
"Ha" She also snatched the water from the bamboo tube in Shen Jie's hand. The nineteen-year-old girl next to him was 1.7 meters tall, with a slender figure, and her legs were almost all covered from the feet up, and they were still so white and tender. , her face is almost one of the most beautiful in a thousand. At this time, she was eating spicy squid, her face was red, attracting the attention of many young men around her.
After eating one, he felt hot all over his body. He went to buy another bottle of water, and the bunch of tinkling copper coins in his arms was holding back a lot of energy.
"I'm not hungry anymore." Zhuoer said with a red face as he stood there.
There was a package of rice dumplings, corn and dry food in his arms: "Now go ahead and buy a few sets of clothes and blankets. If we leave here tonight, we should still sleep outside. These are very important." Shen Jie said.
"I have to sleep outside again." Zhuo'er said a little unhappy.
"Don't forget our current situation." Shen Jie reminded her quickly when he saw that she was a little unhappy.
"I know, I don't want you to tell me." She snorted softly and walked into a nearby street where clothes were sold. His eyes glanced behind him from time to time to see if the man had followed.
The wind in the evening blew away all the clouds in the sky, and a wisp of red cloud hung in the distance, which could only slightly illuminate the city wall in the outer suburbs. Outside the city were the rolling Mangshan Mountains outside Huai'an Prefecture. The group looked very deep at this time. Except for a few defenders on the battlements every few hundred meters on the city wall, almost no one could be seen here all day long.
But today, a clear female voice broke the tranquility of the mountain forest: "Shen Jie, you stinky man, you promised to take me flying down."
