"Sister-in-law, I will go to the pier to pick up the goods first, and I will pick you up at the city gate in Shenshi." Zhan Laoer smiled gently and drove the ox cart towards the pier.
Mrs. Li led Zhan Feiyu to the other side, "Xiaoyu and my mother are going to South Street. Wenxing Study's writing is the most reasonable."
"Yeah." Zhan Feiyu nodded.
Compared with East Street, where items can easily be found in dozens or hundreds of taels, the shops on South Street sell high-quality goods at low prices, while the shops on West Street sell mostly small vendors.
The North Street that Zhan Laoer went to is adjacent to the pier. There are many inns and restaurants. Chunfeng Pavilion and Xunfang Pavilion are also on North Street. Ordinary people will not go to North Street to buy things.
Wenxing Study.
Mrs. Li looked at her daughter who was not even taller than the counter next to her, "Xiaoyu, how much paper do you want to buy?"
"Five cuts of jute paper." Zhan Feiyu looked up, skipped the top-grade rice paper, hesitated for a moment and spoke again: "Add another cut of rough paper."
"It's a little girl, do you use it to practice calligraphy?" The fat shopkeeper looked surprised. Although the mother and daughter were neatly dressed, their clothes were patched and their bodies were still stained with dust. They must not be residents of the county.
But looking at the fair and fat Zhan Feiyu, and listening to her childish voice that was neither humble nor overbearing, the fat shopkeeper didn't expect that there would be a farmer willing to let the little girl study, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "Jute paper is thirty cents per knife, and rough paper is fifty cents."
One knife. If you buy more, I’ll give it to you if I still have half a knife of moldy jute paper.”
"Thank you, shopkeeper, and I wish you a prosperous business." Zhan Feiyu grinned, and even if it got moldy, it would not affect his calligraphy practice.
Two hundred texts were spent in one go. Zhan Feiyu once again realized that studying was really a waste of money. "Mom, when I finish practicing calligraphy, I will come to the study to copy books."
Zhan Feiyu also thought about making money by writing storybooks, but she had only been an ancient for a few years, and not to mention her writing skills, she didn't know the taboo of the Daqing Dynasty.
Moreover, I am young, and the popular novels, even if they are not pornographic and erotic, are full of love and romance. For a girl under ten years old to write these things, it would be like hanging someone on a birthday - she has had enough life.
"Don't worry about money, your parents are here." Li was worried before, but since Landlord Zhu has taken a liking to Xiaoyu, there is no need to worry about the cost of pens, inks, paper and inkstones.
Seeing Mr. Li with a relaxed expression, Zhan Feiyu rolled his eyes helplessly at the sky. It seemed that he had to pay a visit to Landlord Zhu in private.
After Mrs. Li bought some needlework and thread, she went to the grocery store to buy some random things. The basket was already full. Zhan Feiyu took out the most expensive rough paper and held it in his arms. "Mom, I heard that the wontons at the end of the street are delicious.
, we’ll have lunch…”
"Get out of the way quickly! Get out of the way!"
"Ah! Run quickly, someone is going to die!"
"The horse is going crazy, everyone, get out of the way!"
Suddenly, horrified shouts rang out continuously, followed by the sound of horses' hooves trampling crazily on the bluestone.
In the chaos, Zhan Feiyu looked back and saw a tarpaulin carriage coming at speed. The black horse pulling the carriage lost control. The carriage swayed from side to side and knocked over the small stalls on both sides of the road. Pedestrians on the street even ran away.
, falling hard, screaming again and again.
"Mom, get out of the way!" Seeing that Mrs. Li was also frightened, Zhan Feiyu grabbed Mrs. Li's hand and retreated to the left. She would be safe as long as she retreated to the shop at the back.
"Don't push me!"
"Get out of here, let me go first!" Furious scoldings rang out, and a tall and burly man roughly pushed away the person who was blocking the way. He didn't care whether the other person fell or fell, and just ran for his life.
Just as she was about to step up the steps, Li was suddenly pushed by the beggar who was also running away and staggered. She and Zhan Feiyu fell into the middle of the road, and the crazy black horse had already rushed in front of her.
"You pushed the stinky beggar!" The big man yelled angrily, but he kicked the beggar out and fell to the middle of the road.
Falling to the ground with a bang, Zhan Feiyu felt that the kneecaps on his knees were going to be broken. But when he saw the beggar who fell to the ground, Zhan Feiyu suddenly felt a little happy, he deserved it! He deserved it!
As soon as he glanced at it, the crazy black horse was running over. Zhan Feiyu didn't care about seeking revenge from the beggar, and shouted urgently, "Mom, get up quickly."
Li was about to get up, but was hindered by the basket behind her back.
"Auntie, don't worry about the backpack and run!"
"Get away!" The crowd of onlookers shouted in horror, the child howled in fear, and the timid woman covered her eyes. Once the horse's hoof fell, it would definitely be a terrifying scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere.
Suddenly, he felt a strong push on his shoulder. Before Zhan Feiyu, who was supporting Mrs. Li, could react, his small body was pushed and fell out, just in front of the crazy black horse.
Mom! Zhan Feiyu, who fell on his back, looked at Li in shock as he dropped his backpack and got up from the ground.
"Xiaoyu!" As if she suddenly realized what she had done, Li shouted sternly as she hid to the side, looking at Zhan Feiyu who was in danger.
His mind went blank, and the unique smell of horses hit his face. At close range, Zhan Feiyu lying on the ground could even clearly see the lines on the horseshoes.
Even if you don't die, you will be crippled! Seeing that the high horse's hooves were about to fall, Zhan Feiyu quickly curled up his body and bent his arms to protect the sides of his head.
The expected pain did not come, but instead the black horse neighed in pain. Zhan Feiyu, who was picked up, opened his eyes blankly. The crazy black horse fell to the ground with a bang, and red blood gurgled along the wound on his neck.
out.
"Big brother?" Zhan Feiyu, who had narrowly escaped death, suddenly widened his eyes and blinked his long black eyelashes. After a while, he grinned like an idiot and said, "Thank you, big brother!"
Yin Wuyan looked indifferent and looked at the blood splattered on Zhan Feiyu's face with disgust. He threw the person to the ground with his left hand and withdrew the silver sword from Zama's neck with his right hand.
His knees were already hurting, and he was so frightened just now. As soon as Zhan Feiyu landed, his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
Seeing how stupid she was, Yin Wuyan averted his eyes and glanced at the blood stains on the sword. His originally indifferent expression became even more gloomy and terrifying.
Uh... Zhan Feiyu glanced at it and smiled guiltily at Yin Wuyan, who was radiating air-conditioning. However, his fat paws secretly moved the rough paper that fell on the ground to the back of his butt. This is fifty cents per knife!
