For the past three days, Dongzhang has been recuperating peacefully in this courtyard. In his free time, he would go to the small river behind the house to fish, although he really didn't know how to fish.
As for the wound, both external application and internal medicine were used. With the help of the Nine Yang Magic, the wound had gradually hardened and was about to scab. One sunny afternoon, Dongzhang was lazily lying on his side fishing by the river. Suddenly, someone came from behind him. There was the sound of approaching footsteps.
"Sir, I got it."
After finishing his pole and sitting up, Dongzhang smiled and said, "Let's eat fish today."
Ping Dongzhang definitely couldn't catch fish with his fishing skills. In the end, he used stones to smash the fish out one by one. The two of them didn't even go back to the house. They lit a bonfire by the river and threw the fish out. The children were strung up one by one and placed next to the bonfire. Zhang Dong smiled and asked Lawrence Lu, "What are your plans next?"
Lu Guanying, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, played with the branches in his hands boredly and said nonchalantly, "What else can we do? The road of water transportation is dead. Since the Salt Gang has intervened, there must be official figures behind it. It's not big anyway." No, the waterway is only slightly familiar to Lu. After all, I have done this before, but it doesn’t matter anymore, what about sir?”
Dong Zhang lay down on the grass and stared up at the lush leaves above his head. "I'm leaving tonight."
Lu Guanying was surprised, "In such a hurry? Don't you wait until your injury recovers before leaving?"
"The injury can heal at any time, it doesn't matter if it's just a day or two." Then he turned to look at Lu Guanying who was sitting cross-legged and said, "Although you have been frequently in and out of the city in the past few days to inquire about information, you know that those in the Canal Gang don't have much concern for us. Check for the reaction, but the lack of reaction does not mean there will be no action later. I think you should leave as soon as possible."
Lu Guanying pondered for a moment, "Lu came here to seek cooperation, but now that cooperation has failed, he has become a mortal enemy. He will naturally leave. When he returns to Dasheng Pass, no matter how strong they are here, they will not be able to do anything to Lu. In that area, Lu Guanying You can still say something."
After saying this, Lu Guanying turned to look hopefully at Dongzhang who was listening quietly and said, "Sir, if you don't mind, how about following Lu to live in Lujiazhuang for a few days? My wife is a good cook."
Knowing that Dongzhang was a tough talker, Lu Guanying released the news that his wife was very good at cooking in an attempt to attract Dongzhang to stay with him in Lujiazhuang.
"Hey, then you are really lucky." Zhang Dong looked at the gentle Lu Guanying with a little envy and said, and unconsciously thought of the three beautiful figures in the ancient tomb, as if
None of those three people have ever washed rice, oh, Qinghui, but they can only cook the food, no matter how much it is, Xiaoyao seems to only know how to make a fire, and I'm sorry, but can't do anything else, and, That beauty in white can’t do anything
Shaking his head to stop thinking about these things, Zhang Dong looked at Lawrence Lu who was looking at him expectantly and said with a smile, "There will be a day when I will nag you. Just don't find it annoying."
Although Dongzhang did not directly agree to go to Lujiazhuang now, he also indirectly promised to go in the future. This really gave Lu Guanying some expectations, and he said happily, "It's settled then, Mr. Lu is waiting for you."
With a chuckle, Dongzhang responded with a smile, "Okay."
After chatting for a while, the fish beside the campfire were all cooked. Although there was no wine, the two of them still ate with gusto.
At night, by the river behind the house, Lawrence Lu held up his hands and said to Zhang Dong, "Sir, have a nice trip."
"You too, let's go." As soon as he finished speaking, Dongzhang's figure on tiptoes floated into the river in an instant. When he came to the river, he tapped his toes on the river and floated forward, finally stepping onto the other side. In an instant, people It had disappeared into the night.
Looking at Dong Zhang's miraculous light kung fu, Lu Guanying secretly lamented that Mr. Dong Zhang's abilities were really unbelievable, and he didn't know who he was from. It was really shocking to have such skills at such a young age.
After some emotion, he turned around and went back to the back room. At this time, Dongzhang was galloping on the country road at full speed. He jumped three or four feet away with one step, and kept tapping the ground with his feet, far away. It looked as frightening as a ghost floating leisurely.
In just a few minutes, Dong Zhang arrived at the city gate more than ten miles away. Although the city gate was closed at this moment, the city gate of a small town would not be that high. Zhang Zhang's attainments in Qinggong were enough to make it up the city wall with just one jump without even using any force.
Looking around, the lights in the city are lit up, the lights are shining, the streets are busy with traffic, and drunken men are coming and going in the Goulan Restaurant, which is a feasting and feasting restaurant. It is a lively night scene.
Such a lively scene made Dongzhang standing on the wall feel happy. When the Song Dynasty was founded, the Tang system was adopted. Kaifeng was managed according to the Lifang, which is equivalent to dividing the whole city into many communities, each with walls. , the doors are closed and locked at night, and people cannot take to the streets without any reason.
However, the population of this dynasty developed rapidly and the economy was very developed. Residents along the street built private buildings and opened windows and doors on the walls of the squares. The city squares were useless and bustling at night. The officials tried to control it several times. During the reign of Emperor Taizong and Zhenzong, The curfew was restored twice, but neither succeeded. By the time of Renzong, it had completely become a city that never sleeps, and the Lifang system withdrew from history.
During the Song Dynasty, the "curfew" system collapsed and bustling night markets appeared, so there was Su Shi's "Night Tour of Chengtian Temple".
Looking at the lively streets under the city gate, Dongzhang smiled silently, then picked a dark corner and jumped off the wall. But where were the officers and soldiers on the city wall?
Oh, they are still drinking and punching each other in twos and threes. If there is an enemy attack, they don't even know how they died. This is the officialdom of the Song Dynasty. The typical thing about this dynasty is that people are stupid and have a lot of money, and the officialdom is not good, but the citizens of Cha Cha are rich. Deliuyou, the economy of the Song Dynasty can be ranked among the best throughout the history. You can see how prosperous it was by looking at the picture Along the River During the Qingming Festival.
Without further ado, the time at this moment is only eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening, and the street is still very lively. Occasionally, you can see some children running around in the streets. Dongzhang walked all the way to the street, and there was a lot of excitement. It can be said that there are so many things to see on the road, including candied haws sellers, lantern sellers, and small noodle stalls.
Seeing that there were vendors selling masks on the street, Dong Zhang walked forward and looked at the many animal masks on the stall. Finally, Dong Zhang took off the familiar fox mask and said to the vendor, "I'll buy this one." ”
After paying and leaving, Dongzhang hung the mask on his waist. Seeing that the cloth shop on the street was still on, and looking at the clothes that didn't fit him that didn't fit him, Dongzhang walked away again. Got in.
The fabric doesn't have to be too good, nor does it have to be too bad. Dongzhang picked the gray he liked, and asked the shopkeeper to cut it according to the pattern he drew. When he got it and had to wait for a while, Dongzhang smiled and added more money, and the shopkeeper Without saying a word, he summoned several waiters and told them to work overtime. He turned around and told Dongzhang that he would pick it up in just half an hour. Dongzhang then walked out of the store with a smile.
But I don’t know where to go for entertainment at this time. I took a look at the lively Goulan Theater at the entrance, how about we go and listen to some songs?
After a while, at a small noodle stall on the street, Dongzhang was slurping noodles. In the end, Dongzhang still didn't go to Goulan to listen to the music. Anyway, Dongzhang didn't understand the babbling tune, so he just ate it. Just a few bowls of noodles to pass the time.
Just as the noodle stall owner looked dumbfounded, the father-in-law ordered seven bowls of noodles in a row. He counted the time and it seemed that it was almost time. He paid the bill and left in a hurry under the strange eyes of the owner.
When I came to the clothing store at the right time, people were really talking about it. They said half an hour was half an hour. The ancients really talked about credibility. After putting on the clothes that fit Dongzhang, he felt much more comfortable instantly. He looked at his waist. Between the thick belt, I secretly thought that there was only one sword left.
Walking out of the store, Dongzhang walked all the way towards Tongfu Inn. Although the inn was not overcrowded at this time, it was still quite lively. When he came to the counter, Dongzhang ordered a bag of peanuts and two jars of wine. After packing, I walked out of the inn.
He walked to the dark alley behind the inn and looked around. He jumped onto the wall with a vertical jump. Following his footsteps, he flew up to the roof of the inn.
As soon as he got on the roof, he saw a long strip of cloth lying quietly on the tiles. With a smile, Dongzhang walked over and opened the strip of cloth, took out the familiar stainless steel sword, looked at it for a moment, then put it beside him, and followed Then he sat down on the floor, opened the wine jar, and said to himself in the air.
"Thanks. If you can't sleep either, then come and have a drink."
