There is no hope for Liangchuan in Anping Prefecture.
In the past few years, I have traveled all over the country, including the smoky desert, the silver frost outside the Great Wall, the cherry blossoms in the North, and the East China Sea Jieshi. Liangchuan has never been to any place.
This ghost place is even worse than Helu Village back then. There is not even a decent road in a place the size of a county town.
After the ship docked, a heat wave hit us, and low hills were everywhere. The hills were bare and lifeless, more like small tombs, adding to the desolation in the gloomy weather.
Such scenery is not only found in Anping Prefecture, but also in most areas of Guangnan.
The fields are still wild. Rice should be planted in the fields at this time. There is a green scene everywhere. Unfortunately, there are only weeds in the fields, and from time to time there are voles scurrying around the fields.
Liang Chuan and Sun Shubo came lightly packed, took a look at this bird's land, and sighed deeply. Even the common people couldn't see the land being cultivated. Presumably the common people's life would not be much better. There was no weak land. , only those who do not work hard will always lag behind.
People's faces were flushed with drunkenness, and their eyes were staring at the distance and the sky. I don't know what they were thinking about, maybe where their next meal would be.
Liang Chuan and Sun Shubo walked past them without moving their eyelids. It seemed that the whole world had nothing to do with them except wine.
Not many people are doing anything decent, they all look like they are doing nothing!
Life is difficult for ordinary people, not to mention the life of prisoners in prison!
Si Fangxing suffered this crime.
Liang Chuan led Sun Shubo to find a place to eat first. There were no roads on the street. There was sewage everywhere where he could walk. Human and animal feces could be seen everywhere. What was even worse was that there might be a person or a corpse lying next to it. . After taking a look around, you can see all the way to the end, and there are not many shops, because there are very few outsiders coming here on weekdays. There are not many shops on the street, and they all serve the local Dong people!
"The shopkeeper will cut some meat and bring up a few kilograms of wine. Be more efficient. I'm thirsty!"
Liang Chuan didn't bring much dry food. In such a hot weather, the dry food smelled of being stuffed in the bag and was really hard to swallow.
The owner of the small shop rarely sees customers coming in. There is no second shop of the same type for several miles around his shop. Although he has a monopoly on business, it has never been easy to do business. Today, when he saw business, he immediately came over to say hello!
After trotting for a while, he was not far away!
Han family!
The shop owner was a little surprised!
Liang Chuan did not notice the subtle changes in the shop owner.
The shop owner's breathing was obviously a little rapid! An inadvertent cunning flashed through his eyes. Liang Chuan was so focused on what happened between Yelu Zhongguang and Si Fangxing that he didn't notice these details at all.
Sun Shubo, who was sitting aside, had a clear view of the shopkeeper's face.
Thinness seems to be the characteristic of everyone in this place. The shop owner put a yellow tablecloth on his shoulders, wiped it on the dusty Eight Immortals table, and asked very earnestly: "You two look strange, don't you look like this?" He’s a local.”
Just as Liang Chuan was about to reply to his words, Sun Shubo said, "People from Yongzhou come here to sell horses."
Liang Chuan glanced at Sun Shubo and immediately reacted: "Shopkeeper, you are quite familiar with this area. Please tell me where there are good horses!"
When the shop owner heard that he was from Yongzhou, he didn't know where to buy good horses. He immediately heard something was wrong in his words, and just pretended to cooperate: "Then you have come to the right place. The horses we have here are from all over Guangxi, Nanxi and Guangxi." The road is the best. After finishing the wine, I will ask the waiter to take you two to Souma!"
Liang Chuan said: "There's no rush for this. If you have wine and food, we'll bring them out first. If you have any beef, cut it into five pounds and bring it over. We're going to take it away!"
The shopkeeper's small green bean-like eyes took a look at the clothes Sun Shubo was wearing. These people were so generous and generous, and he was secretly happy. He immediately responded: "There are some, wait a moment, and I will bring them to you right away!"
The shop owner came to the backstage and said to the waiter: "You guys, please sharpen your knives for me. Two fat sheep are here again. It seems like you are not a serious person at first glance, huh!"
The waiter asked: "What's wrong with these two shopkeepers?"
"We, Mr. Ning, are not giving orders. If we encounter any Han from the North these days, no matter who it is, we will knock him down and tie him to the chieftain's house. He will be heavily rewarded!"
"There are so many Han people, why should we kidnap them all?"
The shop owner gave the waiter a slap and said: "What a fart! Only a few Han people have come here these days, isn't there a man with a tattoo on his chest among the first few? I don't know what the festival is between Mr. Ning and the Han family. These two people are together." Look, they are not good birds. Do you know what these two birds just said?"
"say what?"
Snapped! The shopkeeper slapped the guy again and said, "Why don't you sharpen your f*cking knife? It's no use telling you anything!"
The waiter wanted to flatter the shopkeeper, but unexpectedly he slapped the horse on the leg, and went to sharpen his knife angrily.
The shopkeeper turned around and lifted up the cloth fence in the back hall, which was stained with oil and sweat. He glanced at Liang Chuan and Sun Shubo and cursed: "I don't make a draft when I tell lies. I have never heard of anyone in Anping Prefecture." Those who raise horses must go to Hengshan Village. It seems that you two are the ones that Master Ning wants. It seems that you got lucky this time. One of them was tied up, and two more came!"
Sun Shubo remained calm, just wanting to see what tricks this store was up to.
There was a sound of sharpening knives in the kitchen, but Liang Chuan didn't take it seriously. How could he have known that this shop turned out to be a shady shop.
Not long after, the waiter came up with a basin of cooked meat. The color of the meat looked very strange!
Although beef is a rare thing these days, scalpers cannot kill it. If you want to kill it, you have to report it to the government. Only scalpers that have died of illness or disease will be allowed to be slaughtered by the people. Otherwise, they will be punished as sabotaging production.
If the common people want to eat beef, they can only eat buffalo meat. There are also yaks in remote areas, but other foods are difficult to eat.
In the Guangnan area, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so people kill cattle and the government can't control it even if they want to.
In fact, the ban on killing cattle among the people will be difficult to implement in the later stage. Cows are valuable and people cannot kill them for meat. Secondly, if the people really want to kill cattle, they will maim and maim them, and then report them to the government. The government will not respond to this If there is no circumstantial evidence for his behavior, there is really nothing the cattle owner can do! Therefore, after the ban was implemented, the government was too lazy to take care of it. They wanted to kill the tools used for farming, so who could stop it?
But the plate of meat in front of me didn't look like beef at all. . .
The two people frowned. The color of the meat was too white, as if it had been soaked in water for a long time. The meat had not been shaved clean, and there was a black hair on it. .
Beef is very strange. After boiling fresh beef, the meat will have a metallic color, and most of it will appear green. People who don’t understand this kind of meat will think that there is something wrong with the quality of the meat, but in fact this kind of beef is fresh beef, and even if the beef is cut plain, it will appear brown, not this kind of white that is very disgusting. .
A terrible plot suddenly flashed in Liang Chuan's mind!
When I saw this meat Liangchuan, I immediately thought of Zhang Qing and his wife’s human meat bun shop in Cross Slope!
When Wu Song arrived at Cross Slope, he saw a black hair from an unknown place in the meat bun. What kind of bird had he not seen in the world? He immediately knew that the meat was human meat!
Liang Chuan's scalp felt numb when he thought of this, and his hands were shaking!
The plot on TV actually happened again!
I have encountered this kind of black shop myself!
The shopkeeper brought another jar of rice wine and filled a bowl for each of them.
The wine was poured into an open bowl. Liang Chuan took a closer look and saw that the wine in the bowl was as muddy as horse urine. When he smelled it carefully, there was an indescribable smell, exuding an uncomfortable medicinal smell. Where can I find the fragrance of half a centimeter of rice wine!
He drank a lot of wine when he came to this world, and rice wine was his favorite, but he had never drank such a disgusting wine.
The two of them froze on the spot. When Sun Shubo saw that the wine had been drugged, he wanted to give Liang Chuan a look, but when Liang Chuan didn't move, the two of them naturally stared at each other.
When the shopkeeper saw that the two of them were not moving, he asked anxiously: "Why don't you two move your chopsticks? Are you not satisfied with the meat and dishes?"
Liang Chuan huffed for a long time, wanting to turn over the table and scold his mother. He exchanged glances with Sun Shubo and said, "No, no, no, we are very satisfied. Shopkeeper, you go and do your work first!"
The shop owner had no idea that both of them had seen through his trick. Liang Chuan spoke and he could only enter the back kitchen.
As soon as the shop owner left, the two of them poured the drinks outside the house in a tacit agreement, threw the meat over the wall, and then flopped their heads on the table with their heads swaying!
suspended animation!
The waiter stared at the kitchen for a while and wondered: "Why did it pour so fast today?"
The shopkeeper slapped the waiter on the back of the head and said angrily: "Don't put so much medicine in it. Look how fast people fall. If they die from medicine, I'll give you an operation!"
The waiter said aggrievedly: "I obviously didn't take enough medicine, that's strange!"
The shop owner walked to Liang Chuan and said: "Drag these two people behind and tie them up! I will ask the chieftain to come and identify them later. If they are not the people he wants, you can cut off the meat for me. This month's There’s meat!”
What a black shop!
Liang Chuan shouted at Sun Shubo: "Get them!"
In a flash of lightning, Sun Shubo pulled out the Japanese sword he got from the Japanese, slashed left and right, first cutting down the clerk, and then slashing the shopkeeper, all in one swift and violent movement!
The Japanese sword is so sharp, there will be casualties if you use the sword!
The waiter was stunned and died without realizing it. The shopkeeper was more lucky. Sun Shubo was merciful and only chopped on his arm. He cut off half of his wrist with a single stroke, causing him to hold his hands in pain. Hold your arms and keep yelling!
Sun Shubo said: "Master, I thought you didn't realize that this is a black shop!"
Liang Chuan chuckled and said, "I have a friend named Zhang Qing who also does this kind of thing. I've seen it so many times that I can't tell it!"
Sun Shubo was stunned: "My boss, you still have such a friend..."
Liang Chuan stepped on the shop owner's hand and said, "Do you want to live?"
The shop owner endured the severe pain and nodded, and Liang Chuan asked, "Have you been guarding us here for a long time?"
The pain prevented him from saying a word, so he could only grit his teeth and nodded again.
"Who told you to guard us? We have committed a crime? Tell us quickly, or I will kill you!"
