It was just getting light, and the aroma of hot porridge and cooking cakes began to permeate the streets and alleys.
“Sell soup, hot soup!”
The sound of selling hot water through the streets and alleys also sounded.
The so-called hot soup is actually boiled water. This is a habit passed down from the Chu Dynasty. Since the disease in the south of the Yangtze River has been inherited to this day, the people in the city generally do not drink raw water, and do not get up early to cook water. , But spend a penny of copper plate to buy a pot of hot water.
Some are used for drinking, and some are used for washing.
Stay at the door early in the morning, waiting for the peddlers to come one by one, from washing your face with hot tea to cooking cakes and rice porridge, you can even shave your head and beard, after walking down this round, shaking your clothes will be able to walk decently out of the door. .
Today is especially lively, everyone has a smile on their faces, and even the chatter when they meet is particularly energetic.
——After a month of anxiety, Jiang Xia finally reopened the city gate.
It is said that the gangsters of the generation from Huaxian to Jiangxia have been completely eliminated, and King Ning’s soldiers and horses also withdrew to the east to confront King Wu.
Don’t have to fight anymore, can the people not please?
The vendors who do business are ready to bear the burden before dawn, stepping on the thin morning light, and shouting the silence of the night after the drums.
“Rice cakes, fragrant rice cakes!”
Wontons were also full of people in front of the load. A scoop of hot soup was poured into a bowl with chopped green onions, and the taste drifted far away.
“Ha.”
“What are you laughing at?”
Moli turned his head strangely and asked.
Meng Qi shook his head without answering.
King Jing died, but Jiang Xia did not announce the funeral. The first reason was that Nanping County deliberately concealed it. When the spread was released, General Nie’s energy was all put on defending the city and rebelling. Now it’s over thirty-seven. , And everyone was delighted because of all the recovery, but collectively forgot this “big” event.
In this world, the death of the emperor and vassal is a major event, which is equivalent to the collapse of the world. Scholars and officials must wear filial piety, and the people in the capital or county government do not need to do so. The rest of them do not need to be married, but they are prohibited from slaughtering. In the mountainous land, this prohibition is also a fictitious one.
Are the poor and lowliness not qualified to serve filial piety?
The court is out of control, who can make Orion not eat meat?
“This sight makes people happy.” Meng Qi gestured towards the lively streets.
Moli followed Meng Qi’s gaze, and then… he saw the vendor selling chestnut cakes.
“Cough.”
Meng Qi bypassed the shaver’s burden casually, without even looking at the chestnut cake, and walked forward.
The child’s laughter lingers in her ears, the woman who hastily pulled her hair in a bun drags the baby who refuses to wear shoes to the house, the old woman who carries her clothes to the well, and the old woman who just opened the steamer The yellow rice cakes, vendors shouted one after another…
Such days are not rich, but peaceful.
Moli and Meng Qi are walking through the crowd. Almost no one notices them, because they are keen to greet their neighbours and familiar hawkers. Everyone can’t wait to know if they haven’t seen them for so many days. well.
Jiang Xia is not short of food, and the city defense has not been in a hurry, but the people are still frightened by the army of the Tianshou Wang.
Successive greetings, short chatter in the parents…like ripples echoing in the river, waves of water illuminated by the warm sun, from the narrow streets, all the way to the crowds gathered under the trees by the well, and crossed the ridge of the roof. Spread to the market that gradually became noisy.
Occasionally, I would meet people from Fengxing Pavilion and Hengshan School disciples on the road. At the moment, they are also in the market. Some people are busy buying dry food, and some are picking shoes that fit in the shoe shop—Jiang Xia is no longer in danger. But they have to go elsewhere.
In such an atmosphere, even the most rigid people on weekdays are relaxed a little bit.
“Cough, Mo…Doctor.”
An elder of the Hengshan faction held a shoe in his hand, looked up and saw Moli, and greeted awkwardly.
“The soles of these boots are solid, with three layers of stitches stitched on their face. Look at the guest officer.”
Mo Lei glanced at it, knowing it didn’t fit, and continued searching in the shop.
The guy in the shoe shop followed along with each other step by step.
“How long can I get the double new one?” Meng Qi randomly picked a look and motioned, “It’s half an inch smaller than this.”
He said something quite true. Others thought he was wearing it. Moli is not easy to refute. The Hengshan elders over there looked suspicious. After all, the Meng Qi he saw was all 89 years old. appearance.
Leaving the shoe store, without walking a few steps, I saw a chaos ahead.
“Who is riding a horse in the downtown area?”
Meng Qi’s pupils shrank, but it was not his turn to take action, and the people from the rivers and lakes in the crowd took the lead to grab the horse.
The people dodge like a chilling cicada.
The horseman fell to the ground embarrassedly and jumped up in anger, but he was not alone. He had dozens of riders, and looked at it with great momentum.
“Get out of the way, you untouchables!”
The river and lake man dodged and avoided, and his body skills were extremely flexible.
The leader of these riders was furious, and immediately commanded the horse to step on the horse, ignoring the objects of the surrounding vendors and the people who screamed and evaded.
“It’s you group of sloppy bandits again! Kill me!” The leader screamed madly with red eyes.
As soon as Moli stepped forward, he saw people pouring out of the shoe shop, wonton stall, cloth shop, and tea shop.
As large as the elders of the Hengshan faction, as small as the leaders of the Cao Gang, the crowd rushed forward, and the hungry tigers and the sheep usually pulled these people off the horse.
The wailing was endless.
This is a rare sight. People from the rivers and lakes usually do not openly fight against the government, especially in the city. They may break the tables, chairs and benches of the restaurant due to fights, hurting the people on the roadside, but as long as the government’s officials are present Body, will leave immediately.
So much so that the martial arts people are equivalent to the term “Jiangyang Thief”, and they will only cause trouble.
Now the hawker selling sugar cakes on the roadside has his mouth wide open, and he hasn’t recovered.
“General Han, what are you doing?”
A man from Fengxingge scolded with contempt, obviously not paying attention to this group of cavalry.
Mo Li remembered afterwards who the leader was.
Unexpectedly, the people also whispered, as if they had heard something.
Meng Qi has a keen ear, and it is natural to hear that the people are actually asking each other who General Han is and what is going on.
The people of Jiangxia didn’t even know that King Jing was dead, nor did they know that Nanping County’s city was almost lost, and it was impossible to know that General Han’s wrong decision led to the reversal and collapse of the city’s defense. They were simply surprised. Different, puzzled.
Surprised that the people from the rivers and lakes openly fought with the government, but they still seem to know each other.
“The Taoist chief bought me biscuits just now!”
“And the old man, still holding the shoes from my shop… I didn’t see that he was a high-ranking Jiang Yang thief, he had a beard, and he seemed to fall when the wind blows. Who would have thought When he jumped like that, the shadow disappeared, and another jump stopped the galloping horse! Super power!”
Just a little skinny, he was slandered as the elder of the Hengshan School who fell in the wind: “…”
He is not a rabbit, where did he jump from left to right?
Pitifully, he is also a respectable celebrity in the arena, and now his old face is lost.
These whispers, heard in the ears of the embarrassed General Han, were like sarcasm. The expressions on the faces of those whispering turned into knives. He didn’t hear the real content at all, but thought it was the ridicule that he had heard countless times in the army these days.
Talking on paper, defeated, and fled in shame!
“Damn it, those incompetent soldiers are holding me back…”
General Han never admitted to these crimes, but he could not swear like that. He needed to gather more old men and leave Jiang Xia.
But when the street was overturned to the ground, the sense of shame in my heart rose to the culmination along with the surprise and puzzlement on the faces of the people around.
During this period of time, his days in Jiangxia were like years. Old General Nie didn’t see him at all. Others didn’t say anything in person, and the ridicule behind him didn’t stop for a moment. Now not only gangsters dare to humiliate him, but even the common people can give him pointers?
General Han’s head buzzed, and his anger broke his sanity directly.
He yanked out his saber and slammed it at the crowd.
“Shut up! Keep your mouth shut, you ignorant untouchables! You dare to laugh at me too?!”
“…”
Meeting those bright red eyes, Moli had nothing to say.
Perhaps because he looks thinner? Or is it more conspicuous to stand in the crowd?
The answer is no. General Han did choose a direction to wave his knife casually, but he met Moli only because he disliked the young man’s eyes, passing lightly like fallen leaves, and then turned to the distance.
This indifference is more annoying than contempt.
The people who originally stood near the Moli screamed and avoided it. The others were trying to stop them. They suddenly realized that General Han was pointing at Moli, and he couldn’t laugh or cry.
There are so many people in the market, but they are looking for the best martial artist. What kind of luck is this?
This scene was so ridiculous that the elders of the Hengshan faction seriously thought that the general might not have lost the war because he was weak and afraid of death. Instead, he lost the advantage of defending the city by drinking water and choking his throat. ?
“Say, do you look down on me? With your ants, you dare to be presumptuous!”
General Han was stunned by the anger. He didn’t notice that Mo Li was able to avoid him with this knife. He also felt that he was hacked. The panic of the surrounding people satisfied him for so many days of being ignored and ignored. Feeling sarcasm, so he vented his anger to his heart’s content.
Meng Qi calmly looked towards the end of the market.
Sure enough, there was dust.
“What’s going on?” Moli was tired of the knife reflecting the light in front of his eyes, dark luck, causing General Han to rush straight forward, stumbled firmly by the stone of a shop on the side of the street. .
“Ah!”
In the eyes of everyone, it seems that General Han’s sword can’t be grasped securely, but Moli took a step back with luck
Actually, there is a reason why Meng Qi didn’t take General Han’s “hidden danger” in his heart. Jiang Xia’s old general is not stupid, and Fengxingge is not stupid. Just like the Japanese and Korean general who broke into the mansion but was easily thrown out, he was just a clown, and it shouldn’t have been an accident.
But now dozens of people and dozens of horses are gathered in the streets.
How did General Han get the horse, how did he summon all the subordinates who had broken up, why did he put on a look like he was leaving Jiang Xia, but no one stopped him?
“I’m afraid that someone deliberately indulges it.” Meng Qi looked calm.
General Han did not have a conclusive charge. Even if he was not defending the city well, Jiang Xia did not have the power to take him down. Moreover, this person may also have the power of Jingzhou, and General Nie was unwilling to directly tear his face. So usually at this time, there will be a deliberate run to make people embarrassed, and after the other party is irritated and make an outrageous move, they will justly take the person down.
Meng Qi looked at Jiang Xia’s soldiers who were whizzing up.
“Han Fu, how dare you steal a horse and vote against the enemy!”
“Take them all and leave them to General Nie!”
In an instant, the situation reversed, and all the people who had shown great power before were **** into rice dumplings and forced away.
From beginning to end, these Jiang Xia soldiers did not say hello to the people from the rivers and lakes who saw uneven roads, and the market gradually returned to calm.
Meng Qi’s expression is still ugly.
It’s not because of Jiang Xia’s army pawn, but the person who gave the order obviously didn’t care about the consequences of General Han, and the death of some people was of little importance in their eyes.
This is a habit of officialdom, even if it is changed to a general or a prefect, it is still the same.
Everything in the upper ranks is a major event, even the grief after death, and everything in the lower ranks is irrelevant, even if it is fate.
When will the world change and when will the human heart be solved?
“Ali, the road to the world is still very long.”
