With his stomach full, he became more energetic. At this time, Jiang Feng didn't want to die. He first washed his face carefully in a small pond. Only then did he realize that his face was not that long.

That was so disappointing to him. Although he was not a handsome man, he could still be considered handsome. However, the long hair on his head was really scary. The clothes on his body also needed to be washed well.

Since the child went to town to buy things and came back so quickly, Jiang Feng judged that this place should be very close to the town. However, Jiang Feng didn't want to go to the town right away. Because he felt that he couldn't see anyone in his current appearance.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Jiang Feng decided to go to town the next day.

Jiang Feng had eaten enough and was sitting under the tree thinking about his plan. The little boy beside him was impatient to wait.

"I said, are you ready to hang yourself? If you wait a little longer, it will get dark. As soon as it gets dark, I will go back. Otherwise, my grandfather will scold me."

Jiang Feng didn't expect that he was thinking about his hanging. However, Jiang Feng was not angry this time.

"Dang, I won't go up for the time being. However, I can buy a few of your straw ropes." Jiang Feng needs to establish a good relationship with this kid now. He will still point to him and do things for him tomorrow! Otherwise

, in his current state, if he enters the town, he will probably be kicked out as a beggar.

At first, the little boy was very disappointed when he heard Jiang Feng say he didn't want to hang himself anymore. But then he was overjoyed when he heard Jiang Feng said he wanted to buy a straw rope.

"Then, how many do you want to buy? We have to hurry up. Otherwise, grandpa will scold you if you come home late."

"Sell me all the straw ropes you have here!" After saying that, Jiang Feng took out a small piece of broken silver and handed it over.

"Too much. Just fifty copper coins." The boy waved his hand.

Seeing that he refused to accept it, Jiang Feng counted fifty copper coins from the coins he had just returned to him and handed them over.

The little boy took the copper coins and turned around and left.

"Come early tomorrow! I still have business to do with you!" Jiang Feng shouted from behind.

"I know!" came the childish voice of the little boy, which made Jiang Feng feel relieved.

That night, Jiang Feng slept in the haystack of the little boy's house. It was comfortable and safe here, and he didn't have to worry about wolves. At dawn the next day, he ran back to the hillside where he met the little boy yesterday, and waited.

The arrival of the little boy.

Sure enough, not long after, the little boy from yesterday came.

With yesterday's cooperation, the transaction between the two went smoothly today. The little boy bought Jiang Feng a new set of clothes from the town and a wooden comb.

It took Jiang Feng more than an hour to sort himself out. Although according to Jiang Feng's makeup artist's standards, it was still far from enough, but he finally got rid of the beggar circle. There was no way, who let the conditions be limited?

!This can only be the case for the time being.

At this time, Jiang Feng confidently walked onto the road leading to the entrance of the town.

This is a small town with only forty or fifty households. If you say it is a town, you can actually say it is not a town because it is too small. There is a main street in the town, with more than ten households on each side of the street.

, there are still several houses with their doors closed, and they don’t look like shops.

"Can this be considered a town? It's much smaller than a small natural village in his hometown." Jiang Feng sighed. But after sighing, his stomach still needed to be full. What he ate last night had already been digested by him.

Everything was clean. So Jiang Feng bought some food on the roadside to fill his stomach, and then continued on his way forward.

His first destination was Lianjiang City, ten miles away.

Lianjiang County is about twenty miles northeast of Fuzhou City, close to Lianjiang River. To enter the city, you must first cross the river.

Jiang Feng came to the only ferry on the Lianjiang River. From a distance, he saw a group of people gathered there, about fifteen or sixteen people. When he got closer, he saw clearly that all of these people had disheveled faces.

Their clothes were shabby and they looked a bit like beggars. However, most of them were supporting the elderly and the young, as well as their families. They also carried all kinds of baggage with them, and some even brought pots and pans with them.

Seeing such attire, Jiang Feng was very puzzled. Who are these people? Why are they so strange? Jiang Feng thought to himself.

At this time, this group of people were surrounding two people who looked like businessmen, talking all over the place, and they didn’t know what they were talking about. The two businessmen were probably tired of what they were talking about, and they saw one of them suddenly draw his sword.

, shouted, "Stop!"

When these people saw the official suddenly draw his sword, they were all startled, so they backed away one after another without saying anything. The official glanced at everyone, then pointed at one of the men in his fifties and said, "You, come here

Tell me the reason. Everyone else shut up."

When the man saw the official pointing at him, he just walked out of the crowd and saluted the policeman. "My lord, please forgive me. The little people fled from Mi County, Shaanxi Province. There is nothing I can do, Mi County has another year this year."

It's a severe drought! The crops have failed, and the court's food relief supplies are not enough. We have only one way to escape the famine.

It turned out that we were planning to flee to Zhili, but on the way we heard someone say that there was going to be a war in the north, so we had to turn south again. We fled from Shandong to Zhejiang, but we never found our master's family to take him in. Later, we heard that even

There was a great philanthropist in Jiangcheng named Chen Yuanliang, and we all decided to join Chen Yuanwai.

We in Mi County are already poor. We mainly relied on begging to get here. We didn’t even have a spare steamed bun, so where did we get the money? Because we had to cross the river, there was no other way, so everyone took this

I collected twenty dollars from begging along the way, and wanted to discuss with the ferryman to ferry us across the river.

However, Your Excellency, you are here to charge another ten cents per person as tax, and we really have no choice. We came all the way south, and there were more than thirty people there, but when we got here, there were only seventeen people left in front of us.

Some people have died of hunger, and some have died of illness. If we can't find a host to take us in, the seventeen of us will starve to death sooner or later! Sir, please be merciful and take pity on us, and let the little people go.

past!"

The man spoke passionately, and his eyes couldn't help but become moist. When the others heard this, they also shouted: "Sir, let us go!"

The official glared his triangular eyes and shouted to everyone, "What's the noise? What's the noise! ​​I pity you, who will pity me! We have a quota every day! If we can't complete it, we will be punished.

.None of the father-in-laws sent by the tall manager are easy to serve."

Jiang Feng looked at everyone, and then at the two businessmen. He had just arrived, and he didn't want to meddle in other people's business, so he was planning to go around. The two businessmen had already seen him.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? You want to run away!" A businessman chased away everyone and stopped Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng didn't understand what happened for a moment. "I...won't you let me pass here?"

"I gave in! But have you paid the money?" the tolerant said firmly.

"What money?" Jiang Feng really didn't know what money he had to pay.

The official pointed to a sign that stood on the beach beside the river. "What money? Didn't you see this sign? 'Everyone who crosses the river will receive ten cents each.' This is the emperor's oral instruction from our tall manager.

This card is set up to collect taxes from passers-by."

Jiang Feng finally understood the reason. It turned out that these two public servants were here to collect tolls. It seemed that the refugees who were fleeing the famine had an argument with the two public servants because they could not afford to pay the tolls.

Jiang Feng does not object to tolls. In modern society, people collect tolls everywhere, and he has long been used to it. Jiang Feng did not want to talk to these two businessmen, so as not to get into trouble. Just as he was about to pay, he saw him coming over again.

Two people.

Among the two people, the one walking in front was wearing a Confucian shirt and holding a folding fan. He looked very elegant and distinguished in appearance. The person following him looked like a book boy and was slightly shorter than the owner.

, but he also looks more handsome, and there is a softness in his bones.

Jiang Feng's heart moved. Could it be that this book boy is a maid?

When the two of them came closer, Jiang Feng had already seen through the identity of the book boy. She was indeed a woman. Although the owner was well dressed, his Adam's apple was covered by his collar. However, Jiang Feng still exuded a faint feeling from this person.

From the fragrance, I can tell that this person is also a female.

If you were an ordinary person, you might not be able to tell the identity of this woman. But Jiang Feng is a professional makeup artist. His job means that he deals with almost all beauties of all colors every day. Jiang Feng has a special interest in the unique smell of women.

A professional sensitivity.

"Stop!" When the official who was negotiating with Jiang Feng saw these two people, his eyes lit up. However, unlike Jiang Feng, the reason why his eyes lit up was because he saw the young master-like person in front of him.

If you dress luxuriously, you will definitely be able to charge more money later.
