The closer the group got to the provincial capital, the more passers-by there were on the road.
People were coming and going, some carrying loads, some driving horse-drawn carriages, and occasionally cars would raise a cloud of dust from the road, leaving pedestrians on their own two legs far behind, making them look dusty.
People from all directions were rushing to the provincial capital.
Some farmers were wearing patched clothes, carrying loads with some fresh vegetables.
From time to time, they would wipe the sweat off their faces with tattered rags.
They only planned to sell these vegetables to the city people in exchange for some money to supplement their family income.
They were also thinking in their hearts that if the vegetables were exchanged for money, they would use the money to exchange for some cloth scraps, and they were also hesitating whether to prepare a new set of needlework to give to their wives as a gift.
Who said that farmers here don’t understand romance?
Lin Yu and his companions walked on the avenue. Although there were old and young, men and women, ugly and handsome, sometimes they could even see some red-haired and golden-haired ghosts on the avenue, which was not uncommon.
It was just that the temperament of the group was too outstanding. Even though they had Chinese faces, they still made those who were used to seeing Chinese people look at them sideways.
Looking at the provincial capital from a distance, an avenue led to the city gate. The mottled city wall on the city gate also had a high attic.
Although it was no longer feudal and the emperor had stepped down, the appearance of the city tower had not changed much.
It was still so old, so majestic, and still so easy to defend and difficult to attack.
There were no people fighting near the provincial capital, so it was a peaceful time.
Therefore, there were no soldiers guarding the entrance.
After entering the city gate, this was the real entry into the provincial capital. A high wall separated the two worlds.
It directly made Qiu Shengwencai's eyes light up.
Although there are still low gray houses on both sides of the street, the main road is clean and wide.
There are many pedestrians on both sides of the street.
However, this is not the core area of the provincial capital.
Therefore, it is not really advanced, but the black lines drawn from the air have surprised Qiu Sheng and others.
Walking along the avenue, it becomes wider and wider.
The style of the provincial capital has changed again.
The low houses are still there, but the pedestrians walking on the wide streets are well-dressed and more tidy.
The low houses seem to be brighter.
There are also many Western-style buildings, which stand out from the crowd.
People going in and out of there seem to have more temperament.
Even the people polishing shoes at the door seem to have more spirit.
Turning a corner, there are a few more grooves on the ground, which are steel tracks, and there is a black iron wire above the track.
At first, everything was normal, but the provincial capital was more lively.
There were more cars passing by.
From time to time, pedestrians cast envious glances.
Some young people rode their own rickshaws, which were also very exquisite.
The man in a long gown came out of the theater without waving, and immediately a rickshaw driver bent over to greet him.
After nodding and saying a few words, the man got on the rickshaw.
The rickshaw driver bent over, held the handle, stepped out his two thin legs, and galloped quickly and steadily on the streets of this provincial capital.
Only a few ding-ling sounds were heard, and the rickshaw driver disappeared, and a square behemoth moved along the rails from afar.
This is the tram in the provincial capital.
Xia Liuqing and Ren Tingting introduced the scenery of this provincial capital to everyone.
What car? What tram? What perfume shop? What bakery? What cafe? What bank?
There are different new things everywhere.
It was just that at the most prosperous intersection in the provincial capital, there were a few strange, dirty and twisted children lying in the corner.
Under their bodies was a tattered and dirty wooden board.
In front of their bodies was a broken porcelain bowl.
Facing the passing young men in suits and the graceful ladies in cheongsam, they kept bowing and trying to please them.
Occasionally, there would be people sitting in rickshaws who would wave their hands and tell the old cow-like rickshaw driver to stop aside.
He kindly lifted up his fine suit sleeves, revealing a shiny and exquisite Swiss watch, and threw down some money, which made the disabled little beggar very grateful.
It was a pity that there were so many disabled little beggars here
There were even some old beggars.
No matter how kind he was, he could not take care of them all.
He could only wave his hand helplessly, with some discomfort and guilt, and let the old cow-like rickshaw puller continue to bend his waist and pull the rickshaw on the ground.
He looked at the exquisite Swiss watch he bought at a high price.
He calculated the time on it.
It would be better if the servants and tenants in his family could have some sense of time.
He should tighten their belts and let them do more work, so that he could be more kind and take care of more little beggars.
It is natural that young men and women are most fashionable to ride in cars.
But many well-dressed young men, especially those who comb their hair like cow licks, prefer to ride rickshaws.
And they like to ride in the more spacious rickshaws.
It can just fit two people.
In that case, he can sit on the rickshaw with the young lady in cheongsam, side by side, thigh by thigh.
These rickshaw pullers are also experienced.
If he pulled the rickshaw unsteadily when pulling one person, he would be scolded and even charged less.
But when he pulled two people like this, he pulled even more unsteadily.
A sharp turn from time to time made people stagger.
The lady on the rickshaw was shocked and kept exclaiming.
The poor young man quickly reached out to help.
Then he cursed a few more words and ordered the rickshaw puller to pull more steadily.
The rickshaw puller naturally allowed himself to be scolded.
He kept nodding and bowing like an obedient pug.
But no matter how he agreed, he seemed to have lost his years of experience in pulling rickshaws, and he was scolded several times for his years of experience in pulling rickshaws.
He just waited until he reached the destination.
The young man criticized the rickshaw puller righteously.
With a smile on his face, he helped the lady get off the rickshaw with great care.
Then he turned around and gave her two or three times the money.
The young master was very happy. Next time, even if he had money, he would not take the tram or the family car.
He still had to choose a rickshaw driver who looked more experienced.
The rickshaw driver was also very happy. Although he looked like a donkey, a cow, and a dog, he touched the silver dollar in his pocket. He would still be scolded and still pull the rickshaw unsteadily the next time he met two people.
The graceful lady complained softly and grumbled softly.
She felt uncomfortable all over and a little scared.
But when the next day came, she seemed to have nothing happened and still sat on the unstable rickshaw. She was pale again and frightened several times.
"Master, how should we arrange it?"
Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai were both eager to try.
They wanted to have a good stroll in this provincial capital.
But when they came, they had already made three rules with Uncle Jiu and could not act without authorization.
It seems that they still remember those instructions.
Facing the two apprentices who were eager to try, Uncle Jiu shook his head helplessly, but he was still doting.
He took out a few silver dollars from his arms and gave some to each of them.
"You can move freely in the provincial capital, stroll around, buy some food, drinks, and fun things, but you must not cause trouble, fight, quarrel, or destroy other people's things."
"Wait until the evening, and you must gather at Ren's Hotel. We will rest there tonight, and tomorrow morning, we will take the train to Lu's house."
Wencai and Qiu Sheng were so happy that they wanted to jump up.
I didn't expect the master to be so reasonable this time.

Not only did he agree to let them play in the provincial capital, but he also gave them money to invite them to play.
"Thank you, Master, long live Master!"
He complimented them happily.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, he called over the rickshaw pullers who were waiting for people at the intersection.
"What are you doing?"
Uncle Jiu asked them immediately.
"Take a ride, Master."
Uncle Jiu shook his head and sighed.
"If you want to take a ride, take the tram. Don't be a rickshaw puller. Treating people as animals... This is really... Alas..."
Uncle Jiu is still a bit pedantic.
Of course, it is mainly because the performance of the rickshaw pullers in this provincial capital is a bit pitiful.
Each one was tired and sweating, his body was tanned, and the exposed skin was bulging with blue veins, and he was wearing a pair of tattered cloth shoes on his feet.
Although Uncle Jiu said so.
The rickshaw pullers were about to come over, and when they saw the two stopped waving, they froze in place.
It seems that the rickshaw pullers are also newcomers.
Otherwise, they would not be so thin-skinned.
Even if others don't wave, they will take the initiative to come over and ask if they want to let them pull the rickshaw and attract business for themselves.
Lin Yu sighed.
"Master, you should not bother them. Let them take whatever car they want. It is better to take a rickshaw than a tram."
"Although they are a little naughty, they are kind-hearted and will not bully others."
"Playing around in this city will make these rickshaw pullers earn some easy money."
What do you mean by treating people as animals?
Looking at the eyes of those rickshaw pullers, they wish they were treated as animals.
Rather than pity them and not take their rickshaws.
It is better to let them work harder and give them a meal.
They pull rickshaws, but they carry an invisible burden on their shoulders.
They may not have bought the rickshaws themselves.
They may have rented them from the rickshaw shop.
If there is no business to do, I am afraid that they will lose money at dawn, and they will not make any money in a day, and they will have to give money to the boss of the rickshaw shop for nothing.
That feeling makes them even more tormented.
After hearing what his apprentice said, Uncle Jiu also reacted immediately.
He was indeed pedantic just now.
What's wrong with pulling a rickshaw?
People riding in sedan chairs have been seen since ancient times.
I made paper figurines for people, and I also made some paper figurines to carry sedan chairs.
Poor people are everywhere, but I haven't been to such a place where Chinese and foreign cultures are combined for many years.
I came here rashly, and my mind was a little confused.
No matter how things change, they still remain the same. After adapting for a while, I felt that everything was the same.
At most, those objects are a little novel, but what is the difference between people?
There is nothing new under the sun.
Old Jianghu people like Uncle Jiu are very adaptable.
Uncle Jiu waved his hand and stopped caring.
Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai immediately jumped and ran happily like wild dogs.
The rickshaw puller also smiled and immediately came to the two with steady and fast steps.
He bent down to put down the rickshaw and asked people to get on the rickshaw.
Then he took Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai to stroll around the provincial capital happily.
Lin Yu was not interested in these things that combined local and foreign styles.
But everyone present was interested except himself.
Even Uncle Jiu, who looked the most solemn, was actually very interested in these foreign things in the provincial capital.
He took everyone to stroll around the provincial capital as if nothing had happened.
Now that he has money, he is not as stingy as before. Although his past habits still make it difficult for him to pay, he is not stingy at all.
From time to time, he will buy some food and toys for everyone.
Strolling while walking.
Passing by some stylish buildings, there were still some colorful lights hanging on the gatehouse.
Even though it was not yet night, some movements in the building could still be heard.
It seemed that some lewd music could be heard.
It seemed that someone was practicing their voice, maybe there would be a performance in the evening.
Everyone strolled around the provincial capital and feasted their eyes.
Tried the tram and visited many shops selling imported goods.
Went to the teahouse to drink tea, went to the theater to listen to a few songs, and tasted the pot-washing water in the coffee shop passed by.
This was also what they thought was the failure of this trip to the provincial capital.
It cost many times more than the best Longjing tea, and drank a small cup of pot-washing water.
It really made everyone feel unlucky.
A group of people were having fun and wandering around in the provincial capital.
It also attracted many people's attention.
There was also the boldly dressed lady who flirted with Lin Yu and Qiu Sheng.
But Qiu Sheng had a golden hoop on his head, so he would not respond to them.
Lin Yu was calm and had no interest at all.
Not only because he was good at cultivating his mind, but also because he was just over two years old and his body did not secrete that kind of hormone.
Naturally, everything seemed boring.
Qiu Sheng was handsome, and Lin Yu was even more outstanding, delicate and exquisite. No matter men, women, old or young, they couldn't take their eyes off him and wanted to take a few more glances.
He was just like a doll that walked out of the painting, a fairy boy from heaven.
They strolled around the provincial capital for a day and bought a lot of groceries.
Although there was nothing really useful, everyone was very happy.
Some groceries were inconvenient to carry with them, and they would definitely not have bought them before.
But now they have leopard skin bags.
As long as they don't exaggerate and buy a few coffins, all kinds of things can be stuffed into the leopard skin bags.
It really solved a big problem on the road.
In the evening, they had a meal together in the provincial capital, a beef western meal.
It felt okay.
After eating and drinking, the happy play was coming to an end.
Everyone walked back to the hotel.
Passing by the small western-style building with colorful lights, the lights are already on.
The sound of some Western musical instruments often floats out of the building, singing and dancing, and the singing and dancing are prosperous.
And the disabled little beggar on the corner of the street has been very smart and disappeared on the street.
Don't come to bother the eyes of these celebrities who come to Gaule.
Tomorrow at noon, they will get up again to worry about the country and the people. Wearing decent clothes, facing French foie gras and red wine, they can't eat, worrying about the livelihood of the people.
It's so hard, what's wrong with coming to relax at night?
If the blind people come at this time to spoil people's mood, there are plenty of benefits for them in the dark alleys in the middle of the night.
After living in the upper class society of the provincial capital for a long time, everyone has his own philosophy of survival.
The disabled little beggar is also very smart.
