Looking up, a wall is high, the natural barrier is full of rules, the cone is unmarked, and the masonry is not in sight. The road on which the green stone slabs is paved, the soldiers are obstinate and orderly, and they should stand in the wind.The breeze passed, the wall headlines and banners were spread, and far away, it was quite like that.

Several officers at the city gate were on duty and were looking for passers-by who came and went.Passing pedestrians are often like medical tests, several cross-examinations, several searches, a little attention is a dispute, it seems that only the skeleton is completely their own.

Occasionally acquaintances are familiar with the road, the inspection is much simpler, if you can be a coat in front of the eyes, or a carriage of the gentleman with a superior state, there is a chill, a cry: "Brother, can't search inside?"It is often said: "Where you say, you don't have to worry about it..." Clouds.

If it is not a major event in the court or the city, such guards are often in vain.

Large towns and villages, high-walled courtyards, small door households, but one side of the soil and water, the so-called strong dragon is also afraid of the ground snake, no matter where you come from, the common customs of the countryside is the eternal truth.

"What is it?"Standing still, a voice came, and a young guard immediately took a step forward, blocking the way through the city gate.

This person is lean and tall, the face grain "red beans" is full of "pit potholes", a bad suit is too loose seems quite inappropriate, the face is a "yin and yang strange" look.

At this moment, he was sitting on the dirty wooden bench, his eyes had just been swept away from his body, but he was still staring at the pedestrians who were passing by from time to time, and it seemed that it should be the heads of these people.

Did the water wash the Dragon King Temple?A person who goes to the county of the county, and is the "guest" of the county adult, is rejected by the little man at the door, is not a joke?

I don't know, but Zhong Yi decided to first understand the identity, to see what I can do: "under the city to run to relatives, alone with a small burden, you officers this what is the meaning of this?" 」

“Boy, in the field, right?To tell you the truth, we are seriously ill with the gangsters in our county, in order to prevent the bandits from mixing into the city, the people in and out must accept the inspection and take things over", the yin and yang face did not fall, and several guards immediately surrounded them.

Where this situation is being checked, it is clear that he is a bandit.

"Okay, you can go in," a soldier threw the burden into the hand, and then waved his hand.

As the saying goes, relying on mountains to eat water, guarding the city gate every day, facing the pedestrians in and out, the soldiers can find their own "mountain water".

Isn't that?When he touched the small bag in his own bag, he found that two pieces of silver were missing.

“What is your name?”Zhong Yi thought to himself: Is this man the first ten-li shop to rebirth?

These two pieces of silver must not be cut off.

"What?You want to mix faces, don’t you?My name is Liu San, brothers to face, call the third brother, ", reported their name, but also a yin and yang face: "Don't worry, don't set it close, the third brother remembers you, the next time you just go in and out at this gate."

Zhongyi traveled to the four seas with the clouds of Lingyun, and he has been to many places, and since he was a child in Yicun for many years, Li County has also been his home, and Master has repeatedly told him not to act easily, so he can't be angry, and he must endure.

However, this said, "It's better to meet than to meet the coincidence", since things fall on their own, then "return" this Liu San?

Zhong Yi threw the burden on the table and said without expression: "It is so, the name of the person I went to the city was named Fan Yu, who first came here, I don't know where his family lives, and he who is tired of bringing a way to bring him?". .

Fantish?Did you know that the name of the county is called by you?Liu Sangang wanted to say, but immediately swallowed a spit, hard to the mouth of the words to "pharyngeal" down.

Liu San immediately got up and waved to several guards, and they spread out for many years, and a "bumpy" face was full of human history.He looked at the young man in front of him, who was blind: everyone had this year?Did you meet the hard stubble today?

But Liu San's face immediately missed a hint of laughter: now there are many strange things?What if a liar wants to be fooled?Moreover, knowing that the county adults first came to Li County, outsiders are not familiar with, if the city does have a re-name person, others here to call its name is not appropriate.

"I don't know what kind of person my brother said, the location of the house in the city?"Is the house a high-walled courtyard or a small door?”Liu San, a person with good memory, all the big families in the city are clear, not half vague.

If you really don't see the real Buddha not burning incense, the person who is looking for is really not easy: "I am looking for this person lives in the east of the city, the house is sitting in the north facing south, at the door...", Zhong Yi looked at Liu Sanyi, who was full of doubts, "Oh, yes, there is a pair of stone lions at the door, a big stone lion."

A yin and yang face immediately became red, and then a flush of redness came white.Zhong Yi felt that he should be a little more lighted: "I have told you, but if I am blocked here, the tired brother invites this person out, otherwise I will wait here."

...

In a corner outside the city gate, Liu San almost knelt down and said, "Little brother, you are my brother, you see the beads in the lower eyes should be dug out when the ball kicks", saying that he handed the two pieces of silver to Zhongyi, and then touched two larger pieces from his body: "Little brother, you don't remember the little man, forgiving...".

Zhong Yi took the silver, looking cold disdain: "See these coming and going pedestrians?"If you no longer put your hand into their burden in the future, then today's thing will be fine, otherwise, I will only ask you to go to the Lord Fan to say."

Not far away, a ragged old woman was taking a little boy about six or seven years old as he was about to enter the city, and saw the fierce guards, and the child clinging to the old woman's horns and slowly hiding behind him.

Zhong Yi smiled at the little boy and said, "Come, this is for you, take it," and said that he hardened the two "bigger" pieces of silver into the little boy's hand.

The old woman behind him was a hoarse voice of thanks.

...

At the moment of lunch, there are usually fewer street pedestrians, but all kinds of large and small bars, restaurants, noodle restaurants and food stalls are indeed lively.

Several good-mouthed restaurants are coming and going at this moment, but the second person in the doorway is still shouting at the pedestrians passing by the street: "Good wine and good dishes in the food", the guest of the building will look out the play: this table of dishes is not yet?Calling so many guests in, all come to lick empty dishes?Hahaha...

An old noodle restaurant, there are a few stools at the door, guests who can't line up the house will sit on the street by the window table, a large pot of hot noodle soup at the table, a large cup of hot noodle soup, a large clap of garlic in a small bowl, the main food is not, but the feeling of eating noodles is vivid.

Roadside snacks fried tofu, snowy balls, hot soup sheep blood stalls also have a lot of people patronized, dining snacks?Most of these people eat small meals or do not do heavy work on weekdays.Of course, it is not excluded that the individual "big appetite" is first in this pad, and then go to the noodle restaurant not far away to a big bowl.

Long residence almost do not eat human fireworks in the cloudy mountain, Zhongyi is quite fresh, a roadside to enjoy, but do not know that the front is the county.

"The two brothers who were tired of each other, said that someone was visiting, to see Fan Zhixian County," said Zhong Yi, and handed the letter to the officer at the door.

After receiving the letter, the left and right asked a few simple questions, and then politely responded: waiting here.

A moment later, there was a loud laugh in the hustle.

“This must be a good brother, isn’t it?Come, come, please, speak in the air.

The county and other heads, the body is slightly blessed, the face is white and clean, and the round-collared robes painted with embroidered creeks are still fit, but the belt between the waist is slightly tighter, but this kind of attire is definitely the most striking in the county.

"Sage brother, my uncle and Mr. Ling Yunzi are the deceased, long wanted to ask you to come down the mountain to help, after this county is your brother's two", Fan Yu Zhongyi is a few years old, but if you treat people to receive things, but a lot of experience.

“Brother Fan, is this where is this?Brother for the official, brother for the auxiliary, brother for the main, brother for the suo, must not be confused with the proportion", Fan to the brother commensurate, if you can say it, but the first time you meet, Zhong Yi still feel a little awkward: "Fan brother, in the future privately you and I call you, if there is an outsider, I also call you a Fan, good?" 」. .

"Good or not," Fan said with a laugh, "if it is true that the famous teacher is a noble apprentice, what the wise brother said is very, thoughtful, according to you."

After the joke, Fan gave "I have sent someone to prepare the meal, you rest here, and officially pick up the wind for you at night."The county population, land production, money and food taxes, prison, folk customs, etc., these things are annoying, you will slowly understand later.”

Zhong Yi felt that the knowledge of the county in front of him was pleasant and unfettered, but he was very happy with his duties, but he was very pleased.

Finally, Fan patted Zhong Yi’s shoulder and said, “Son, you must fully assist your brother, you and I will do a great job here.”

Big enough?It seems that this Fanzhi County is full of ambition and ambition, and he has planned this early, so much better.

Under the luminous light, the lights in the courtyard flashed, and it was not very suitable for a while, after all, it was far from Lingyun Mountain.

The huge private room, before a big red round table, people stood around, said and laughed, saw Fan slowly entered, everyone rushed to meet, and sat down after a few words.

"Suddenly, full of abdomen, virtue, the county's friends, as the county's staff, you have to respect each other as a guest," Fan determined God, looked around: "Mr. Zhong first came here, some situations do not know much, he wants to be familiar with some matters in the gate, you must fully cooperate."

The people nodded their heads and got up and toasted with him.

"County Li Shunan, the main book Wang Jin, the classic Shi Caozheng, and...", said Fan Zhi County motioned to stand on the side of a man to the table: "Shen dust, Shen catch the head..."

Let’s all toast together...

Fan Yu one by one, Zhong Yi quickly remembered that he wanted to take a seat as soon as possible.

After the cup again, everyone knew each other, and everyone could quickly melt like it, and everyone said and laughed, just like old friends who had not seen each other for many years gathered to talk about the old.
