Guangyuan County has been a fortress for entry and exit from Sichuan and Sichuan since ancient times, and it is also an important military area that military strategists must compete for. Therefore, the city wall was built to be more than three feet high, and the length is almost invisible at a glance.
A soldier holding a spear was leaning on the battlements of the city wall, looking boredly at the pedestrians below.
Outside the city wall, there are countless traces of slashing, axe, smoke and fire. The color of the land under the city wall is also different from other places. It has obviously been soaked in blood many times.
Everything tells the story of the tragic battles that took place here.
Jin Feng and the others arrived at the south gate. Perhaps the armor on the female soldiers alerted the defenders. When Jin Feng and the others approached, the soldiers who were lazily leaning against the city gate all picked up their weapons.
Amei snorted coldly, stepped forward and took out a token. The expressions of the defenders immediately changed, and they respectfully let the group in without even checking the token.
Entering the city gate is a stone road more than ten meters wide. Because it just rained yesterday, it was a little muddy from the mud on pedestrians' shoes.
But this did not affect the enthusiasm of the vendors at all. Both sides of the stone road were full of vendors' shouts, making it extremely lively.
"Brother-in-law, is this the county town? It's so lively!"
Xiao'e poked her head out of the carriage and looked around excitedly: "Wow, there's a candied haws seller, oh, there's also a noodle seller..."
"As expected of a county town, there are so many people there in the afternoon. At this time in Jinchuan, we can hardly see anyone on the road."
It was also the first time for Guan Xiaorou and Runniang to come to the county town, and they looked outside with the same curiosity.
Tang Dongdong grew up in the county town and was already familiar with this. At this time, his face was gloomy, obviously remembering something unhappy.
Although the veterans were also curious, they did not forget their mission and watched passers-by vigilantly.
In fact, they all carried knives, and the female soldiers were also wearing armor. They were not easy to mess with at first sight, so passers-by stepped aside to let them go first.
In his previous life, Jin Feng had seen night markets that were much more lively than this one, and had also squeezed through the crowded subway, but this was the first time he saw so many pedestrians in ancient costumes and ancient buildings, as if he was visiting a film and television city.
However, the costumes and architecture at this time were very monotonous, and they seemed novel at first. After walking two streets and seeing everything like this, Jin Feng felt a little bored.
Realizing that something was wrong with Tang Dongdong's expression, he slowed down and asked with a smile: "Dongdong, where are we staying today?"
Tang Dongdong retracted his thoughts, squeezed out a smile and replied: "Stay at Zhao's Restaurant. From there, go to Yaxing. Go to the intersection in front and turn left. Then walk three intersections and you'll be there."
Jin Feng chatted with Tang Dongdong for a while, and the carriage stopped at the door of an inn.
The inn occupies a large area. At the front is a three-story wooden building, which is a typical Chinese classical building with carved beams and painted beams and cornices. It looks quite charming.
"Gentlemen, do you want to work in a hospital or stay in a hotel?"
As soon as the waiter saw so many people, he knew that big business was coming, and he greeted them with a smile.
"Staying here, do you have a yard?" Tie Zhui asked.
"Uncle, if you want to have a hospital, you are right to come to our Zhao's Restaurant. We have the best courtyard in the county!" the waiter said enthusiastically.
"Okay, lead the way."
Iron Hammer casually threw a small bunch of coins to the waiter: "Choose a good yard for the grandpas. If there are rats and bugs, be careful that grandpa breaks your dog's legs!"
"Don't worry, sir. I guarantee that you will have a comfortable stay. You will want to come again next time."
The waiter put away the coins, smiled even more happily, nodded and bowed and led them to a courtyard.
"This courtyard is the largest in our restaurant. There are ten rooms in total, as well as a separate kitchen and bathroom. There is also a stable at the back. It is most suitable for you, sir."
The waiter opened the courtyard door: "Sir, can you see if you are satisfied?"
Iron Hammer did not answer, but looked at Jin Feng.
Jin Feng took a look and saw that the yard was not small and the environment was quite quiet, so he nodded slightly.
"Okay, that's it. Let's arrange for a few people to come over and feed our horses and boil some hot water. We all need to take a bath."
Tie Hui took out a ten-tael silver ingot and threw it to the waiter.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment, someone will be here soon!"
The waiter agreed, took the money and ran away.
Soon, six or seven servants came in, leading the horses and boiling water.
I was caught in the rain yesterday and felt sticky and uncomfortable. After taking turns to take a shower, it was getting dark.
The yard has its own kitchen. Runniang was going to cook, but Jin Feng stopped her.
"When you finally go out, you have to try the cooking skills of other restaurant chefs, right?"
The purpose of making money is to spend it. Jin Feng asked Tie Chui to call the waiter and ordered the best banquet in Zhao's Restaurant. He also made an exception and ordered a few jars of the restaurant's signature wine.
How can veterans usually enjoy this kind of treatment? Each and every one of them excitedly raised their wine bowls to Jin Feng for a toast.
Although the alcohol content of Dakang's wine was low, drinking too much beer was still intoxicating. Jin Feng didn't know how to get back to the house afterwards, and slept straight away until the next day.
"Master, you finally woke up. Mu Lan and Dongdong came over to see you twice."
Guan Xiaorou brought over a bowl of warm water: "Rinse your mouth first. Madam Run made some sour soup for you. I'll bring it to you."
Jin Feng took the warm water and asked casually: "Why do Qing Mulan and Dongdong come to me?"
"You're not the boss yet. You drank too much yesterday and insisted on singing songs and composing poems for everyone."
Guan Xiaorou rolled her eyes at Jin Feng: "Drink less in the future, but the master's singing is so good and his poems are so good. Mu Lan and Dongdong were both frightened by you."
Ahem!
Jin Feng was so shocked that he choked.
"I composed a poem. What poem did I compose? What song did I sing?"
"Get up, slaves who are hungry and cold, get up, people who are suffering all over the world, I have forgotten the rest."
Guan Xiaorou learned two lines: "I don't remember all the poems I wrote, but I remember the five-flowered horse and the golden fur. I will exchange my son for fine wine. I will sell the eternal sorrow with you. I will also let the hammer sell the war horse."
Let’s switch to wine…”
At this point, Guan Xiaorou suddenly covered her mouth and laughed: "Head of the family, you always refuse to admit that you miss Dongdong, but yesterday you asked me to have a drink with Dongdong."
"do not talk……"
Jin Feng smiled bitterly and covered his forehead: "Are Qing Mulan and Tang Dongdong here to laugh at me?"
"I don't know, but it doesn't look like them. Their faces are quite serious."
Guan Xiaorou said: "By the way, boss, what is air conditioning?"
"Did I say air conditioning?"
Jin Feng suddenly jumped up: "What else did I say?"
"I didn't say anything. I just said that the wine in the restaurant was terrible, the food was mediocre, and the house was not good."
Guan Xiaorou thought for a moment and said, "Then you started singing and writing poems, and then you took Mu Lan and Dongdong to drink, and you even hugged Runniang's shoulders."
"Go and help me call Mu Lan and Dongdong over."
Jin Feng knew that when Qing Mulan and Tang Dongdong came to see him twice early in the morning, he must have said something.
