Chapter 2, Master’s Whereabouts

After coming out of the bridge hole and looking at the surrounding environment, Jiang Yan found that the bridge hole he lived in was not far from the wall of the Sijiu City.

This Sijiu City was a country of the two dynasties in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Jiang Yan had heard a long time ago that this Sijiu City had the saying that the inner nine and outer seven imperial cities were four.

The inner city is nine, the outer city is seven, and the outer city is four," means that the inner city has nine city gates, the outer city has seven city gates, and the imperial city has four city gates. The four gates of the imperial city are Tiananmen, Di'anmen, Dong'anmen, and Xi'anmen; and the nine gates of the inner city are Zhengyangmen (qianmen), Chongwenmen, Xuanwumen, Chaoyangmen, Fuchengmen, Dongzhimen, Xizhimen, Andingmen, and Deshengmen.

This city wall is much larger than before when I saw Xi'an. It's not a pity that it was the capital of the past, but unfortunately it was demolished in later generations. If this were in his own era, it would be another excellent tourist attraction.

However, under the city wall now, the garbage pile is almost the same as the city wall, and it also emits an unpleasant smell.

I looked up at the city gate, but fortunately my eyes were good, so I saw a few big words about Zhengyang Gate effortlessly.

Seeing this Zhengyang Sect, Jiang Yan felt mixed feelings. Although he had thought about it before, he was calm and unwilling to do so. But now it seems that what he was thinking about before was a bit ideal.

What if I didn’t have a reasonable channel for making money? I couldn’t follow my master to sell my skills for the rest of my life!

I should find a serious job, but I was a prestigious undergraduate graduate in my previous life. It should not be too difficult to find a job.

However, when Jiang Yan saw his little arms and legs, he instantly gave up the idea of ​​finding a job.

There is another reason to dispel this idea. I don’t know how to use traditional Chinese characters!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but complain. I offended some great gods and allowed myself to travel to this era. Time travel is like you. At least you are about the same age as you! How to make a child about ten years old? It's a problem to live in this messy time.

This is really a dragon-slaying skill, but I am so young!

Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore, so I’d better go find the master! Jiang Yan pulled his clothes covered with patches and walked towards the overpass with big strides.

Alas! I don’t want to wear this outfit. I have just searched for it in the supermarket. I have no clothes except gloves and socks in the supermarket.

After passing through Zhengyangmen, we came to Qianmen Street, the most lively Qianmen Street in Sijiu City. I have to say that Qianmen Street is really lively.

The hutong Siheyuan with blue bricks and gray tiles, the Beijing-style and Beijing-style words, and the seventy-two lines that were almost extinct in later generations. Various shouts came one after another, and it sounded like a sense of life.

The Sijiucheng Overpass is the most lively place in the Sijiucheng. There are almost everyone in all kinds of people. If you don’t believe it, you can see that there are almost all kinds of art, juggling, crosstalk, and fortune tellers and curing diseases. There are almost no distance between them. Especially the various snacks from Yanjing, which smells fragrant.

After arriving at the overpass, Jiang Yan did not immediately look for his master but squeezed into the crowd to watch the excitement. It has to be said that the performances here are almost nothing, and if they had not been able to perform these things for three to five years, they would not have been able to perform them.

Looking at these performances, Jiang Yan couldn't help but think that if these were photographed by himself and placed on Douyin, they would be able to exceed ten thousand easily.

After watching for a while, Jiang Yan remembered what he was doing, so he left the crowd and walked towards the place where he and his master often performed. However, Jiang Yan was disappointed that his master was not there at all. He patrolled the entire bridge but did not see his master.

Jiang Yan is blind now. He will not slip away, right? What if he slips away!

After finding a place with his back, Jiang Yan sat down directly. He was so tired when he was walking around this circle!

Gugugugugu, his stomach sounded unsatisfactory again. Why did he get hungry again after a while? Jiang Yan, in the cafeteria, just now, found that his appetite seemed to have increased a lot. He had eaten several large bowls of rice and vegetables just now.

If this was done before, if you could eat one fifth of it, it would be considered that you had a large stomach.

I guess Jiang Yan forgot which era he lived in and what era it was here.

Although he had no money in his previous life, he had much better food and drink than he is now. He could also say that he was in the sky and underground. Although he had no money in the past, he did not lack oil and water! Don’t have too much auxiliary food, okay?

In this era, everyone generally lacks oil and water. They rely entirely on carbohydrates to provide energy, and there are almost no side foods. Therefore, the people in this era are not a few big bowls of food, and I am a poor man. This is really not just a saying.

Let’s fill your stomach first! There are so many people here, so Jiang Yan dare not take things out of the space.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan stood up and walked straight to the snack place.

Before we got close to the shed selling snacks, various hawking sounds came.

"Bee cake is coming! Aiwowo"

"The donkey full of sugar rolls around! It's not sweet, no money."

"Sweet and crispy cake! Mawei."

"The peas are yellow! What a big piece."

"Burn and fire, fried, cheap and full."

Smelling the aroma of the food, Jiang Yan went directly to a place where he sold buns. Seeing the bulging buns on it, Jiang Yan's saliva was even flowing.

However, before Jiang Yan could speak, the boss selling buns glared at Jiang Yan and scolded: "Where did you come from beggars? Don't act like I'm doing business by mistake, get out of here."

When Jiang Yan heard this, he was furious, but looking at the huge man selling buns, Jiang Yan had to leave. However, he was scolding in his heart that this grandson was really not a good thing.

Jiang Yan had no choice but to return to the place where he had just squatted, thinking in his heart, otherwise he would leave here first and find a place to fill his stomach and come here to squat on his master.

"Xiao Yan, what are you doing here!" At this time, Jiang Yan felt that his back was being patted, and when he turned around, he saw Tian Zao standing behind him with a few children.

"Sister Zao, I won't take you like this. I don't know that there is a saying that people are scary! If I'm going to be scared to death, you won't feel guilty!"

The person who came was Tian Zao, the king of children in this area. She brought a dozen children to make a living in several streets.

I followed my master to set up a stall here, and I got along well with her after a while.

However, Jiang Yan, who came from later generations, knew that Tian Zao was the first heroine in the TV series "Hutong" he had watched in later generations.

"Gugu" her stomach started to scream in discomfort.

Hearing the screams in Jiang Yan's stomach, Tian Zao laughed a few times, and took out two sesame cakes from his bag and handed them to Jiang Yan.

"Give it a treat!"

Jiang Yan took the sesame cake and took a bite. The sesame cake was really delicious. While eating the sesame cake, Jiang Yan said to Tian Zao vaguely: "Thank you, Sister Zao, by the way, Sister Zao, have you seen my master?"

"I saw him yesterday afternoon, but your master seemed to be injured. I asked him at that time! He said it was okay, and said he would deal with it. I have never seen him since."

"My master is injured, is it serious?" Jiang Yan asked when he heard this, put down the Shaobing in his hand and nervously pulled Tian Zao's hand.

"I don't know, but I saw a lot of blood shed."

When Jiang Yan heard this, the sesame cakes in his hand were no longer fragrant. He quickly thought about everything about his master in his head. This search really made Jiang Yan discover the clues.

Since Jiang Yan and his master came to the Sijiu City, the master's whereabouts have become strange. Every week, he disappears several nights. When asked what he is doing, the master just touches his head and says that he is doing something that is beneficial to the poor.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan was almost sure that his master might be an underground party. A sudden flash of thought seemed to have thought of something.
