Yizhou is really not a prosperous and livable area.
Outside the city wall is the northern land full of yellow sand. There are Turks staring at it all the year round. The war has made this place even more barren, so that it can only be relieved by the imperial court every year.
The huge gap between the rich and the poor makes it possible to see beggars, robbers and hooligans everywhere on both sides of the street, and just across the wall, there are also gold-selling caves where the rich spend their money.
If it is said that the rottenness of the capital is that the gold and jade are corrupted from the outside, then here it is putting its unbearableness in front of outsiders.
But it happened that this was an essential and extremely important strategic location. If Yizhou fell, then the door of Liang State would be wide open, and people could only let people in and out wreak havoc.
It is precisely because of the unique geographical location here that Chu Yu felt that the atmosphere of the whole city was very different from the places he had been to before after receiving the interrogation and entering the city.
It was too quiet, as quiet as an empty city.
Chu Yu and Liu Dazhuang found the largest inn in Yizhou. As soon as they walked in, there was no enthusiastic waiter like other inns to lead the way, so they had to stand in front of the counter to look for the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper of the inn had a haggard face, and while his withered fingers crackled and quickly calculated, he asked coldly without raising his head, "How many rooms."
Liu Dazhuang held his breath when he came, and immediately became unhappy, and angrily slapped the knife in front of him, "Hey, what's your attitude, how do you do business?"
When they got off the carriage just now, a thin child bumped into Liu Dazhuang's body. He felt something was wrong at that moment, and when he touched it, the money bag was gone.
Fortunately, the child didn't run far, Liu Dazhuang caught him in three steps and two steps, and it took him a long time to find the money bag.
Liu Dazhuang was about to take the child to see the official, but Chu Yu saw that his face was thin and sallow, and he was pitiful, so Liu Dazhuang gave him some silver coins and let him go.
"Brother, you are so kind, you should take that child to the police and punish him! Let him never dare to do such a thing again," Liu Dazhuang dissatisfied.
Chu Yu said helplessly, "That kid looks like an old hand, and he probably does this kind of stealing a lot on weekdays. Even if you catch him to go to the government, the people in the government can't do anything to him, at most let him suffer some flesh and blood. He will still make a living like this when he comes out, since he can’t be influenced, what’s the point of that?”
Chu Yu understood this truth a long time ago. Liu Dazhuang rubbed the back of his head. Although he felt that what Chu Yu said made sense, he was still a little bit annoyed.
Although there was no loss of money, it was also a bad mood. The shopkeeper's attitude at this time naturally made people feel even more unhappy.
Chu Yu quickly stretched out a hand to block him, "Brother Zhuang."
He turned his head to the side, and said to the shopkeeper in a warm voice, "If you want two upper rooms, ordinary ones are fine."
The shopkeeper raised his eyes, his eyes fell on Chu Yu's white and delicate hands, and then he raised his head to look at the bamboo hat Chu Yu was wearing, sneered, and muttered "rich people," while recording them.
Everyone here seems to have a strange hatred of the rich, even the youngest children know that money can fill them up.
Chu Yu was a little unaccustomed to it. Although he was not well-fed since he was a child, he did not have to worry about food and clothing in the palace. Even the palace rules that were deducted were enough to support him.
The shopkeeper's tone was very rude. If Chu Yu didn't stop him, Liu Dazhuang really wanted to have a good argument with him.
Chu Yu didn't want to get entangled with him too much. He was a little tired from running around for a long time. At this moment, he just wanted to go upstairs to have a good rest. After waking up and eating, he could continue to think.
"Two upper rooms, [-] Wen a day, food and drink are calculated separately, half of it is settled now, and the other half is settled when you leave," the shopkeeper slapped the bill in front of them expressionlessly.
Liu Dazhuang couldn't bear to see him whimpering, so he boldly took out a piece of silver and put it on the counter, "We'll stay for ten days."
The lazy shopkeeper moved swiftly when he saw the money, and before Chu Yu saw his movements clearly, the money had already entered his pocket.
He spoke quickly, and said confidently, "I have agreed with you in advance, and you will not be refunded if you check out early."
The corners of Liu Dazhuang's eyes twitched, as if he was trying his best to endure, and he couldn't bear it any longer.
Chu Yu was afraid that he would have a dispute with the shopkeeper, so she hurriedly pulled him by the sleeve and went upstairs. But this time, it was okay, and finally a waiter came to lead them upstairs. Although he was not enthusiastic, he was more polite than the shopkeeper.
After entering the room, Chu Yu went around and confirmed that the room was not bad, it was considered clean and tidy. After watching Xiaoer change into a clean bedding, he put down his things and fell asleep.
This sleep was really dark, and when he woke up, it was already dark.
As soon as the door was opened, the person leaning against his door was unprepared, staggered backwards, happened to meet Chu Yu's gaze, and smiled at him embarrassedly, "Brother, you're awake."
Chu Yu was a little embarrassed, "I overslept, how long have you been waiting?"
Liu Dazhuang quickly shook his hand, "Not long not long."
In fact, he had been standing outside Chu Yu's door for more than an hour. Knowing that Chu Yu was sleeping, he quietly stood at the door and waited for him without disturbing him.
Chu Yu turned sideways quickly, "Let's talk first."
Liu Dazhuang glanced casually in the room, and when he saw Chu Yu's changed underwear, he blushed and hurriedly looked away, "How did you sleep, little brother?"
Chu Yu poured a cup of cold tea on the table and nodded, "It's okay."
Liu Dazhuang smiled, "Hehehe, don't tell me, even though the shopkeeper here is smelly and hard-tempered, the guest room is not bad, and the quilt is very warm."
Chu Yu put a cup of tea in front of him, and took a sip of it.
Liu Dazhuang watched his movements curiously, "Brother, although Brother Meng asked me to send you to Yizhou, he didn't say what you are doing here. What are you going to do next?"
Chu Yu put down the cup, pondered for a while and said, "Observe for a few days first."
Although he came to look for Yue Qiuyun, he actually didn't know this legendary general. It would be too rash and impulsive to come directly to him, so it's better to hold back.
He smiled gratefully at Liu Dazhuang, "Brother Dazhuang, I have to thank you for taking care of me during this time, and then you can rest at ease."
Liu Dazhuang scratched his hair in some disappointment, said "Oh", and said worriedly, "If you need me for anything, I'll be there for you."
Chu Yu froze for a moment, nodded with a smile, and responded obediently, "Okay."
He really liked Liu Dazhuang's straightforward character, and he rarely had such people around him, so he suddenly understood why Meng Zhenzhi trusted him so much.
This sincerity and openness alone is already commendable.
Liu Dazhuang stared blankly at Chu Yu smiling happily, although he didn't quite understand what he was laughing at, he also giggled along with him.
After sleeping all afternoon, she didn't feel sleepy at night. Chu Yu tossed and turned on the couch, thinking about how to see Yue Qiuyun, and fell asleep after thinking about it.
When he woke up the next day, he was determined not to wait at the inn, so he put on his bamboo hat and went out to inquire about news.
Coincidentally, as soon as he walked out of the inn door, he heard a noise. He searched for the sound, and saw the child who stole Liu Dazhuang from yesterday was being held by a big man like a chicken.
The big man threw the child to the ground, and the child was also clever, and was about to run when he got up, but was roughly dragged back with a short shirt.
"Boy, how dare you steal from your grandpa and me? If you don't learn well at such a young age, I will beat you to death today!"
The big man was cursing, and he raised his fist and was about to hit him on the head.
Just as Chu Yu was about to stop him, he heard a hoarse voice. He turned his head and saw not far away, the innkeeper was standing at the door, shouting, "Don't beat him! He's just a Little bastard, it won't do you any good if you are beaten to death, and you have to receive thirty lashes, why bother!"
The shopkeeper just looked old, but at this time he walked over vigorously and advised, "Don't fight, this land is under the control of General Yue. If General Yue's men patrol and see it, there will be good fruit for you."
With this set of kindness and power combined, the big man was a little hesitant, but he let go of his hand slowly when he heard Yue Qiuyun's name.
He kicked the child aside, snorted coldly, spat and cursed, "Unlucky, get out!"
The black and skinny kid who looked like a little monkey got up, and the shopkeeper threw him a hot bun and yelled, "Take it and eat it, don't steal it!"
The kid picked up the bun and ran away.
When the child disappeared, the shopkeeper returned to the half-dead appearance when Chu Yu first saw it, and returned to the inn with a cold face, and said to himself, "Really, it affects my business!"
Chu Yu suddenly felt that he was not such a cold-hearted person.
Chu Yu hesitated for a moment, looked at the place where the child left, thought for a while, turned around, went to the bun shop next to the inn, and bought some steaming meat buns.
He walked slowly towards the place where the child ran away, and sure enough, the child was huddled at the entrance of the alley, devouring the cold buns thrown by the shopkeeper.
Attracted by the aroma of the hot meat buns, the child raised his head and looked straight at Chu Yu.
Chu Yu looked around to make sure that there was no one, and then walked over to the child.
The child looked at him cautiously, as if he was afraid that Chu Yu would snatch his buns, so he ate the rest of the buns in two mouthfuls, rolling his eyes in shock.
Chu Yu felt it was funny, squatted down in front of him, and looked at his face.
The child was sallow and thin, his face was smeared with ashes, and he couldn't quite see his original appearance, except for a pair of thin, protruding eyes, which were black and white, clear and clean.
Chu Yu handed the hot meat bun in front of him.
The child's hesitant and suspicious eyes wandered back and forth between Chu Yu's bamboo hat and the bun in his hand, and finally his appetite overcame his vigilance, and he reached out to grab it.
Chu Yu quickly withdrew her hand and hid the bun behind her back.
The child stared at him coldly, as if he felt that Chu Yu was teasing him.
Seeing that there was no one around, Chu Yu took off the bamboo hat, looked at the child's face, and gave him a gentle and friendly smile, "Why, can you talk?"
The child was stunned. He stared blankly at Chu Yu's face. After a while, he rubbed his eyes repeatedly to make sure he didn't have hallucinations.
He blinked, stretched out a hand, and carefully touched Chu Yu's knee.
When the thin finger poked Chu Yu, he quickly retracted it.
Chu Yu was a little confused, and didn't quite understand what the child meant.
Two drops of hot tears rolled down the child's eyes, he wiped the tears off his face with the back of his hand, and whispered like a little cat, "I don't want to die"
Chu Yu,"?"
