Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 10 Into the City

   There is a saying that when a book is in use, you will hate less.

The same is true of ability. In normal times, Li Xin didn't feel that he was weak. During this time, he was able to make consistent money every day, and he even felt that he was doing well. But when things came to an end, Li Xin realized himself deeply. How weak.

   Just like now, they are just two ordinary people from Jingzhao Mansion, and he has no room for resistance.

  Because he could clearly see that although the two were not wearing official uniforms, they both had knives on their waists.

Although this small wooden house is simple, it was made by the charcoal seller bit by bit in the past ten years. At this time, it was swallowed up by the raging fire. The grief in the old man's heart can be imagined. It's just some skin trauma, but his heart is like a drop of blood. Just after waking up, he fainted again.

  Li Xin gritted his teeth, bent over and carried the old man on his back, then held the charcoal girl with the other hand, and stood up tremblingly.

   Fortunately, the old man's body is very thin and not very heavy, and Li Xin is not too difficult to carry on his back.

   He glanced at the ingot of silver on the ground, and after hesitating for a while, said softly to the charcoal seller, "Girl, go and pick it up."

He originally had some "deposits", but the money in this era is all copper coins, and carrying money around is a bit heavy, so he kept all the money in the house. At this time, the whole house was swallowed up by the fire. The money was It's impossible to get it back.

Now that the house is gone, they have to find a place to stay. Although they don't really want to use the money left by the big man, but now is not the time to save face, he doesn't understand the "consumption level" of this capital, so he It is necessary to collect as many resources as possible.

   As for what the tall guy said…

Li Xin took a deep breath, put the charcoal seller on his back, and walked in the direction of the capital, but the direction he walked was not the north gate that he usually used to go in and out, but a long detour towards the direction of the capital. Go to the south gate of the capital.

   At the north gate, someone was staring at him, and he remembered his appearance, so he couldn't leave easily.

The three of them stumbled and stumbled all the way. When it was almost evening, they came to the gate of the city gate. At this time, the city gate was about to close. Li Xin turned back to the charcoal girl and said, "We will enter the city later, and they will ask us where we came from. , you say we are the local woodcutter."

   said, Li Xin pointed to his mouth and lowered his voice: "Tell them, I'm dumb."

   The reason why the people of Pingnanhou Mansion were able to find themselves was because they placed eyeliners at the gate and asked their name. Now, if you want to hide from them, you can only hide your name first.

   The guards guarding the gates are not for everyone. They usually only ask some people who are face-to-face, sneaky, or people with foreign accents. For the local people, they will not care.

Li Xin was from the north in his previous life, while this Li Xin was from Yongzhou in the south. He spoke very differently from the capital, but the charcoal girl was a native of the suburbs of Beijing. She was asked to deal with these gatekeepers. Couldn't be more appropriate.

   The little girl is very smart. Although she didn't know why Li Xin did this, she still nodded.

The two walked towards the city gate. At this time, the city gate was about to close, and it was getting dark early in winter. These people couldn't see what Li Xin looked like. They just saw that he was carrying an old man on his back, a little suspicious. One of them reached out and stopped them.

"what for?"

Li Xin raised his head and called out a few times, indicating that he could not speak, the little **** the other side, with a trembling voice, said crisply: "Master, this is my brother, he is a mute, grandpa I'm hurt, my brother took my grandfather into the city to find a doctor..."

   What she said was authentic Beijing suburban dialect. The soldiers guarding the gates were all natives of the capital, so they could hear it naturally. Hearing the words, he frowned: "The old man didn't get sick, right?"

At this time, the medical conditions are extremely backward, and general big cities, especially places like Beijing, will never allow the "source of disease" to enter the city, so as long as it looks like a sick person, these people will ask about it. a few words.

   The little girl cried: "Grandpa was robbed by some strong men, and he was injured, but he didn't get sick..."

  The soldier guarding the gate waved his hand lazily and said impatiently: "Come in, the city gate will be closed."

   Li Xinxin let out a long sigh of relief, and slowly walked into the capital with the charcoal seller on his back.

  Although the old man was not heavy, he had to walk around a dozen miles from Beishan all the way to the south gate. Although he rested a few times along the way, his stamina was almost exhausted by now.

   Fortunately, he finally entered the capital smoothly. This time, he did not reveal his name. The people at this gate should not recognize him. That is to say, at least for a while, the people of the Marquis of Pingnan may not find him.

   Li Xin took a deep breath, squatted down slightly, continued to carry the old man on his back, then found an inn in a good location on the street and checked in.

   Staying in the store is also a guide. In order to prevent his name from being exposed, Li Xin still let the little girl talk and pretended to be a mute.

   The reason why he didn't go to a remote inn is because Li Xin knew that this era is not safe.

  The rent for this inn is two hundred cents a day at the cheapest day. The three of them couldn’t live in one room, so Li Xin opened two rooms.

   But there is no way, the most important thing now is to find a place to settle down, find a doctor for the old man, and then think about the next step.

After settling down, Li Xin poured a pot of hot water, wiped the charcoal seller's face, then called the charcoal seller aside, and said softly, "Girl, you are here to take care of grandpa, brother go out and find a doctor for grandpa... Come back, don't go out and walk around here, close the door, and don't open the door if I don't call you."

   The little girl nodded heavily.

   She is only six years old this year, and she has no idea of ​​her own. In the past, her grandfather was her heaven, but now the grandfather's sky has collapsed, and she can only trust Li Xin, the "elder brother".

   After explaining a few more words, Li Xin put all the money in his pocket on his body, thought about it, took the ingot of silver with him, and pushed open the door.

In this era, there is a strict curfew at night, but the curfew does not mean that you cannot go out. The curfew means that you are not allowed to go out of your respective workshops. The workshops of this era are similar to a living park, which is larger than the communities of later generations. I don't know how many times, at night, as long as you don't go to the street outside the workshop, there is no problem walking around the workshop.

   At this time, although the sky had dimmed, there were still many people walking around in the workshop. Li Xin walked in the workshop, took a few deep breaths, calmed down a bit, and began to find someone to ask the location of the medical center.

   Uh, since the old book is not finished yet, the new book is not stable to update. The old book has been updated in two days, and the book can be updated stably by then, okay!
