From then on, the defenders of this gate were convinced. Whenever they heard the word "swallowing snakes"!, they felt like seeing the ghosts and gods of their ancestors. If they could avoid it, they would avoid it. If they couldn't avoid it, they could only hold their noses and deal with them. All requirements were met.
Don't dare to make things difficult.
After Lin Fengjin entered the customs, he did not go to the inn for personal gain, but planned to find a place to live at will. The requirements were not high, just clean and quiet. Unexpectedly, it was because of the war that it caused a large-scale disturbance.
The business trend was obviously off-season at this time last year, but now it is even more prosperous than the busiest period after autumn!
In the end, one of Taoist Master Fu's guards, Wanyan Nuzhi, had relatives here. She found his relative's house and said that the rent and food would be paid according to the store price, and the fodder for the horses would be paid back at double the price. Only then did they find him.
A place to stay.
This relative and his whole family cleaned the house cleanly and made two rooms available for them to live in. When they saw the horses they rode in, they knew they were exceptionally handsome, so they received them with even more care and treated them with care.
All the animals were rushed to the wild areas, and the stables were vacated for the horses. They were mixed with egg concentrate and carefully raised.
Lin Fengjin and his party traveled more than a hundred miles today in order to travel. They were all tired. Wanyannu chewed a few mouthfuls of dry food and then lay down on the drawer table next to her, snoring loudly.
It was August or September again, and it was very hot. After trekking for so long, the sweat all over his body was sticky and mixed with dust, which was extremely uncomfortable. Lin Fengjin led a few people to the end of the street following the instructions, and they happened to meet him.
We arrived at an old well, which was probably twenty feet deep. The stone pulley with the rope attached to it had been worn down and dented as deep as a punch, showing how old it was.
A few rough guys were very strong, so they dug a bucket of cold water from the well and found that the water was very clear and cold. According to the people next to them, there was still water on the edge of the bluestone near the water at the bottom of the well.
There is ice.
They coveted the coolness of the water, and immediately took a sip of water and drank it. It felt clear and sweet. It poured into their belly like a line of ice, and the heat of the long journey was immediately relieved. They immediately brought a few buckets of cold water.
, it is so comfortable to pour it down from head to toe. As for the wet front trousers, even if it is left to dry overnight in this hot weather, it will be completely dry.
When they came back feeling relaxed, the family who stayed at the hotel also prepared a meal, which was the very famous local steamed bun rice.
The method of making this thing is simple, boil water in a large pot, then throw ground wheat, rice, sorghum rice, chopped naan flour and other things into it, and stir it all the time.
When the various foods inside can no longer be distinguished from each other, use a spoon to scoop a large spoonful of meat oil into it, and then add any leftovers at home. If you are particular, you will also add some cooked oil.
Wait until the bottom of the pot starts to burn, turn off the heat, sprinkle green and white tender green onions on top, scoop it up as you go, the taste is heavy, oily and watery, and the food is all in one
The last layer of pot stickers scooped up when the pot was cooked was charred and fragrant. The children were most proud of this. It was a common meal for local poor families when entertaining guests.
The group of people had eaten and drank enough, and washed away all the travel dust. They felt cool and comfortable, and naturally fell asleep. But the strange thing was that Lin Fengjin couldn't fall asleep while lying on the bed, and he didn't even think about it.
I'm not a pampered person, and I don't usually have the habit of insomnia, but I don't know why there was an exception today. The more I slept, the hotter I got, and the hotter I got, the more I sweated. In the end, I just felt that the mat was covered with sticky sweat, so I just stood up and walked.
I felt a little better after doing some activities in the yard.
However, there are dirt walls and dirt roads everywhere inside Sisheng Pass. We can't expect people at this time to have a sense of greening. There are no plants at all, so it is boring and boring after staying outside for a long time. Lin Fengjin immediately missed the well.
The water was so sweet that it hit my bones. I put a washcloth on my shoulder and walked outside.
Even at this time, when I saw the lights in the pass were brightly lit and many people were hurriedly coming and going, I knew that the inland market's hunger for grassland products had indeed reached a blowout level.
The profits directly led to the cancellation of the symbolic curfew within the city.
Of course, it is precisely because of such rich oil and water that the defender of Sisheng Pass will spend 400,000 shi of food for the head of a few hundred thousand Dongxia people, because for him, even if he pays the compensation out of his own pocket
The money of 400,000 shi of food is enough to get it. Promotion will make you rich. Only by promotion can you make a big fortune!
As Lin Fengjin thought about it, he walked to the well. It was already late at night, and of course there were very few people coming out to fetch water. However, Lin Fengjin's sense of smell was extremely sensitive, and he could smell it from a distance.
A faint smell of blood.
He immediately took a closer look and saw two young men dressed in rags washing and cutting up a lamb next to the well. There was something wrong with the expressions of these two ragged young men, and their eyes looked around with fear.
.And there were only one or two little lambs. How could ordinary people be willing to slaughter them? Therefore, it was almost certain that their sheep was stolen.
Of course, Lin Fengjin had no interest in being Bao Qingtian. All he wanted in his mind was to take a shower and go to bed early. He would continue on the road tomorrow, so he quickened his pace. Unexpectedly, as soon as his footsteps quickened, he would be followed by these two
The boy saw it.
These two children were originally first-time offenders, and a guilty conscience was unavoidable. But for them, the sound of rapid footsteps suddenly came from the darkness, and then an adult strode over!!
Such a scene was a bit too exciting for them who were originally frightened. The two children immediately screamed and ran away without daring to turn around and cried! How did Lin Fengjin know that Lin Fengjin would appear?
Such a situation? I can only smile and shake my head.
After he finished taking a shower, he saw the tender lamb next to him and thought that if he didn't take it, the weather would be so bad that it would be smelly tomorrow. He might as well take it back now and let the landlord cook it, and he would have food tomorrow morning, so he was honest.
I came here without any hesitation.
However, Lin Fengjin had just taken a few steps when he suddenly saw two children rushing out from behind at the corner. One of them could only cry and kowtow, while the other knelt down and cried:
"Uncle! We shouldn't steal your sheep, but my father is sick and is about to die. He wants to eat roasted mutton before he dies. This lamb is also dead. You can beat, scold or punish him as you please.
I just want to fulfill my father’s wish before he died, and I will be your family’s slave for the rest of my life!”
After hearing what these two children said, Lin Fengjin felt a little pity in his heart. Before, he only saw that the two teenagers were unfamiliar with their skills and were not habitual criminals. He didn't expect that there was such a tragic thing hidden behind them. The two brothers looked so surprised.
He is quite filial.
After he smiled, he planned to throw the lamb to the two children, but suddenly there was a firelight behind him, and two strong and fierce women appeared out of the sky. The firelight saw the cleanly washed lamb in Lin Fengjin's hands.
The sharp shouts and curses immediately tore through the night sky. While he was cursing wildly and swearing incessantly, he chased after him, holding something like a rolling pin in his hand.
Obviously, in this situation, it would be too stupid to stand and distinguish things. Lin Fengjin would not make such a mistake. He immediately turned around and ran away, and of course he did not forget to drag the two children with him.
Of course, these two fierce women refused to give up and pursued them with all their strength.
However, when the two of them ran to the well, they suddenly noticed that a lot of copper coins and broken silver had fallen in a conspicuous place. They hurriedly went to pick them up. When they added up, they found that they had enough money to buy two new lambs.
Alas, these two fat ladies ran so far in the hot weather, and their mouths were not stopping for a moment. After getting this advantage, they immediately felt hot all over their bodies, and their mouths were completely dry, so they cursed and stopped chasing.
Of course, broken pieces of silver would not suddenly appear on the ground. This was naturally done by Lin Fengjin. After running a few hundred meters with the two children, he stopped and said:
"Okay, they won't come after me."
Then he handed the sheep over. These two children were also quite clever. Of course they knew that Lin Fengjin had helped them, so they immediately knelt down and kowtow with tears in their eyes. Lin Fengjin dragged him when he wanted to leave, saying that his home was there.
Up front, be sure to ask Lin Fengjin to come in and take a seat and take a sip of water.
Lin Fengjin originally didn't want to go, but he was not familiar with the streets here. If he went back now, he would have to go back the same way. What if the two shrews were still greedy after picking up the money and continued to chase?
Being bumped into by them? That kind of situation is really scary to think about.
To be honest, although Lin Fengjin wanted to kill them without any effort, he was not as knowledgeable as a country shrew like this. He would kill anyone in a quarrel with her, and she was a woman... That was simply the only way to kill them.
It can be described as dehumanizing and insane.
So Lin Fengjin thought about it and thought it would be good to go in for a drink of water to avoid the limelight, so he followed the two children into a nearby alley, then opened a door and walked in.
After entering, Lin Fengjin found that the inside was quite spacious. It was actually a courtyard, which was somewhat inconsistent with the identity of the two children who stole sheep. He thought: Could it be that he had been hit by a fairy jump? But he soon discovered that the house was only big.
On the surface, the inside can only be described as "a house with only four walls", which shows that everything that can be sold has been sold.
Lin Fengjin continued to walk in, and saw an old man with red and swollen eyes, a face full of vicissitudes, and calluses on his hands in the side room next to him. He was in a daze watching the steaming medicine on the stove next to him.
