Fu Tang

Li Congjia looked at Shi Xueting's tightly wrapped bald head and fell into deep thought.

Shi Xueting is open-minded: "You go to the city, I will find a way."

"This... can't be helped?" Li Congjia looked at the city wall.

Jiangdu Mansion was once the accompanying capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but it was built with great effort. The height of the city wall was close to five meters. If Shi Xueting could not enter the city, he could only wander among the mountains and forests.

Li Congjia definitely wouldn't let this kind of thing happen, but he couldn't make Shi Xueting's hair grow up to his waist overnight!

Li Congjia began to rack his brains, and finally made a decision: "Just say that you lost all your hair because of illness, and we went to the city to extend medical supplies!"

This seems to be the only way, otherwise there is no way to explain why Shi Xueting has a straight hairstyle on his head.

Shi Xueting had no objection, and the three of them swaggered into the ranks of the poor.

There were a lot of people queuing up. After Li Congjia got in, he looked around and found that the people around him were all sallow and thin, with numb expressions and no brilliance in their eyes. There are too many people.

Even Yang Xin is no longer the same as when he met him just now, this kid is really full of energy now.

In this way, when the three people want to pass through the city gate, they will naturally be interrogated.

Li Congjia graciously asked Shi Xueting to take off the cloth on his head, and then several meters around them were emptied in an instant. Li Congjia thought out a sentence inappropriately - tyranny is fiercer than a tiger.

It would be appropriate to put it here.

Li Congjia opened his eyes to the city guard and said nonsense: "The two of them are my cousins. I was originally from Changzhou. They were forced by the puppet Tang Dynasty and their families were ruined. Now only these two cousins ​​are left to depend on each other. Unfortunately, my cousin suffers from a strange disease. As a last resort, I had to travel to Jiangdu Prefecture to ask for medical advice, but on the way I encountered a puppet Tang army, and lost some guides, so please be patient with Wei Lang."

The guard saw Li Congjia's eloquence, he seemed to have read the book, but he was not too presumptuous, he just looked at Li Congjia and Shi Xueting and asked, "Is he your brother? Not your brother?"

Li Congjia was lucky enough to fail, brother, your focus is a little strange!

But he still held back and said: "Hehe, my cousin looks more anxious."

The guard searched his body, but found nothing except some copper coins. Seeing that these people were in a state of distress, and they didn't even have any luggage, it was in line with what he said.

Li Congjia repeatedly stated that he would reapply for household registration and road guides, and after passing a few copper coins to the guards by the way, the three of them were finally released into the city.

After entering the city, Li Congjia almost burst into tears, it's not easy to be a savage!

After finding an inn to stay, the three of Li Congjia looked at each other, because they found that no one would go out to buy things.

It's not that I can't, but I don't know the price!

Shi Xueting grew up in Shaolin Temple since he was a child, except for chanting scriptures and practicing kung fu, he has never been in contact with the lives of ordinary people.

After Li Congjia passed through, his class was too high, and he didn't know how the common people's prices were.

As for Yang Xin... Forget it, he can't even recognize the types of food and vegetables now.

In the end, Li Congjia could only accept his fate and said, "I'll go."

The image of Shi Xueting should not be swayed, but Yang Xin... looked at Li Congjia longingly. Ever since he entered the city, he felt like he was dreaming. He had never seen such a bustling city. city!

Li Congjia's heart softened, and he took Yang Xin's hand and said, "Shishi Lang will go with me, so that I can go shopping by myself in the future."

When Li Congjia was walking on the street, he didn't have the excitement of just entering the city.

He felt a little disappointed, Jiangdu Mansion was not as prosperous as he imagined, but Yang Xin walked all the way to see everything, it seemed that everything was new, and he vividly explained what it means for a bumpkin to enter the city.

Li Congjia observed all the way, and found that there were not many restaurants on the street, not many selling cooked food, and there were even few clothing stores, the most were grain stores, and there were a few sporadic butcher shops.

He sighed silently. Although the south was more prosperous during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, it was still far behind that in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.

If the people have sufficient purchasing power and don't worry about food and clothing, various shops will appear on the streets and the economy will develop.

Li Congjia took Yang Xin through a street, and after buying him some candy sweets, he had a rough idea of ​​the price, and walked into a clothing store that seemed to be the best on the street.

Li Congjia took a closer look and found that he didn't have many choices. There were only a few colors that ordinary people could wear. Among them, white was the best-looking but the worst-selling one—after all, white was easy to get dirty.

In the end, he could only choose a few popular clothes such as white and black, and just after he went out, he was frightened back again—some soldiers dressed as Zhou Jun on the street were arresting people!

When Li Congjia returned to the store, he found that there were many spectators around. Are these people afraid of being arrested?

Li Congjia wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask more, for fear of attracting attention.

Yang Xin didn't have such big worries anymore. It's normal for a half-sized man to speak unabashedly. He directly grabbed an old man next to him and asked, "Old man, what's wrong? What mistakes did these people make?"

The old man looked numb, looked at Yang Xin and found that it was just a farm boy, and he was not overly wary, but said in a low voice: "The whole Jiangdu Prefecture is not safe these two days, they are all catching teenage dolls, I don't know what to do What are you doing, committing crimes."

Yang Xin was a little surprised: "Why?"

The old man shook his head in confusion, but a young man next to him said in a low voice: "It is said that he is looking for someone, and not everyone will be caught. All three people who travel together, two big and one small, will all be caught." Got it."

Teenagers, two big and one small!

Li Congjia grasped the point in an instant, and couldn't help asking: "As long as it is such a person, we will arrest it?"

The young man nodded and added, "Most of them are foreigners."

Li Congjia couldn't help holding Yang Xin tightly, and only after the soldiers on the street and Zhou Zhou had withdrawn did he hurriedly take Yang Xin back to the inn.

After returning to the inn, Li Congjia noticed that the innkeeper had looked at him several times, and couldn't help but feel even more worried.

After seeing Shi Xueting, Li Congjia told everything, and Shi Xueting immediately judged: "He is looking for us."

Li Congjia was more concerned about another matter: "Did the Baijia army surrender to the Zhou army?"

If Zhou Jun didn't surrender, how would he know about them? The target of arrest was aimed at the three of them.

Li Congjia thought for a while and suddenly said: "No, the arrest order must have been issued long ago, but we didn't encounter any embarrassment when we entered the city today!"

Just as Shi Xueting was about to say something, he heard a loud knock on the door, and Li Congjia turned pale instantly.
