When? In times of war! 247 Lantern Street
The two of them led the horses around, and wherever they went, they only felt that everywhere was a novelty-
Walking around all the way, seeing that it was already dark, Dong Zhongyong's heart itched, and he quickly pulled the corner of Dong Zhongkang's clothes: "Big brother, it's not early." β
Dong Zhongkang laughed: "I know that you kid can't help it." β
He looked around and saw that there was a stall selling candied fruits and sweets next to him, and everyone else had already closed the stall, but he was still there next to him, looking around anxiously. Dong Zhongkang's eyes swept and saw that there were still some things on his stall that had not been sold, so he knew what was going on. He led the horse and walked over, and the peddler hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Our candy candied fruit, sweet and sweet, guest officer, how much do you want?" β
"I see that you are going to close the stall, and it has not been sold yet, so take care of your business and do a good deed. But at this time, does this price have to be discussed? β
"The remaining three packs, they were originally sold for fifty yuan a pack, you have to buy it, three packs of one hundred wen, you take it! But I don't want the bad money that I made privately. The peddler was in a hurry to go home, and said hurriedly.
"Good! Readily! Dong Zhongkang smiled and pointed to the remaining packets: "Wrap them all up for me." β
"Oh, okay!" When the peddler saw that the business was done, he quickly answered, wrapped the three packets of candied fruit in an oiled paper wrapper, and then stuffed him with a few pieces of loose pieces from the stall.

What Dong Zhongkang thought was that most of the brothers were born poor and had never tasted such sweets, so this time they came out and bought some back for everyone to taste.
He took out a small piece of broken silver, shook it in front of the stall owner, and said with a smile: "There is another matter, I have to ask you." β
The stall owner was stunned: "You said, guest officer." β
Dong Zhongkang lowered his voice and asked him where there were the most sisters in this Yanghe city, of course, the price should not be too expensive.
The stall owner smiled and gave him a knowing smile. The people of the Ming Dynasty were poor, that is, the peasants were poor, but due to the prosperity of commerce, the citizens in the city generally lived a good life. A vendor like him actually earns a lot of money, and he has been to such places a few times.
"Walk south along this street, go to the next intersection, turn west, keep going forward, you have to walk half a mile, and then you come to a street corner, where there is a 'bamboo shoot chicken porridge shop', which sells bamboo shoot chicken and meat porridge that is a must. The street to the south of the bamboo shoots and chicken porridge shop is Lantern Street, and every household in it is engaged in this kind of business. There are many large willow trees planted on both sides of that street, so it is also called Willow Street. β
"When the evening came, when all the people had come out, they stood by the street, waiting for the guests to choose, and if they did, they were brought to their homes."
The peddler complimented: "Seeing that the two of you are so majestic and mighty, that sister will definitely like it, and when she brings it to the house, she will have to cook and cook vegetables, so that she can be entertained, and then go to bed and dance with a gang." β
He had obviously been there many times, so he explained in great detail, and smiled lowly: "The yellow-faced woman in the family has been watching strictly in the past two days, otherwise you should lead the two of you to go with you." β
Dong Zhongkang smiled and stuffed the silver into him: "Brother is funny, if you have a chance next time, I will invite you." β
The peddler even said politely, weighed him silver, and wanted to find silver, but Dong Zhongkang didn't ask for it, but just asked him to find some copper coins, which was also convenient.
Then Dong Zhongkang and the two led their horses to the lantern street.
Zhang Mazi's eyes were good, when Dong Zhongkang took out the money, he clearly saw a bulging money bag, and there was silver in it, I was afraid that it was at least ten taels away.
At this moment, Zhang Mazi's mind was hooked. He originally saw that these two people were burly and strong, and he was a little timid in his heart, and it was not easy to provoke, but at this time, he couldn't care about the money in front of him.
He gave Li Hei a look, and the two followed closely.
In front of is a wine shop lined up in the alley, the alley is not wide, but people drink a lot, there is a person drunk and drunk there crazy, standing in the middle of the road began to undress, pointing to the sky and scolding, around a circle of people to see, from time to time a burst of laughter.
Dong Zhongkang originally wanted to go straight to the goal, but seeing that Dong Zhongyong was already in high spirits to join in the fun, he shook his head, and had no choice but to follow.
There were more and more people, piled up several layers, and they all stretched their necks to look inside.
Zhang Mazi's heart moved: "Good opportunity!" β
He and Li Hei also pretended to be lively and came up.
It's still the same old thing, Li Hei covered, and he did it. The target was Dong Zhongyong, because this guy looked stupid and stupid, and it seemed to be easier to deal with.
This time the process of stealing was very smooth, Zhang Mazi smoothly cut Dong Zhongyong's clothes with a very thin blade and put his hand in, but when he reached in, he touched something like an iron ruler.
Zhang Mazi grabbed his hand, and suddenly the expression on his face changed: "This thing, why does it feel so familiar?" β
β¦β¦
"Got it?" Li Hei saw Zhang Mazi's body shrink back, with an inquiry in his eyes.
Zhang Mazi nodded, but shook his head again, turned around and left with a strange face. Li Hei knew that something must be wrong, so he hurriedly followed.
Walking to a place where no one was around, Zhang Mazi stopped and said, "This thing is strange." β
"Eccentric? What's wrong? No money? Li Hei hurriedly asked.
"It's not." Zhang Mazi stretched out his hand: "Look at this." β
"Hey, isn't this your sword, big brother?"
Li Hei thought it was something, but he looked over carefully, and by the light of the roadside restaurant, he saw clearly, isn't this Zhang Mazi's smooth knife?
After Shi Jin gave Zhang Mazi the knife, he hid it as a treasure, but he never forgot to kick it in his arms and take it out to show off. As his confidant, Li Hei has naturally met many times, and it was very rare at first, but later, it was also commonplace, and he felt that it was nothing.
Zhang Mazi shook his head and said with a solemn face: "This is not my ......"
"Isn't it not, isn't it just a knife? What's the big deal......" Li Hei said with a big grin, suddenly, his expression froze, and when he said it, there was no follow-up.
He slammed a spirit.
He remembered very well that when Zhang Mazi showed him a shun knife for the first time, he told him that this kind of knife is very rare in the Guan, and only the Jiannu outside the gate likes to use this kind of knife, almost one person.
Zhang Mazi's face sank like water.
Li Hei's teeth were fighting, and his face turned pale: "You mean, they are ......"
Due to Jiannu's successive battles on the battlefield, and the repeated defeats of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was afraid of Jiannu like a tiger, and the color of the conversation changed. The army is extremely frightened, and it will collapse at the first touch, often thousands of people let the wolves of Jiannu with dozens of vests rush to the pigs, and among the people, among the people, they even promote Jiannu like demons and monsters.
The fear of Jiannu for more than ten years has also made it surprising that after the natural change in the year of Jiashen, Jiannu entered the customs all the way, and encountered surprisingly little resistance.
"It doesn't look like a slave." Zhang Mazi shook his head and said, in fact, he had really seen the head of Jiannu.
When he reached the level of the Governor of Xuanda, the Governor of Xuanda specially ordered people to build a pergola outside the city gate, and put the first level of the fortress inside, so that the people could watch.
It's a pity that the people's customs are weak at this time, and even the dead Jiannu also makes them afraid, and not many people go to see it, but they take a detour one after another. However, Zhang Mazi was bold and went to see it once. At that time, I thought that this Jiannu was nothing, and it was no different from us, with one nose and two eyes. But there are some differencesβthe head is big, the nose is small, the face is relatively flat, the scalp is blue, and the back of the head is drooping with a pigtail like a rat tail.
"But I can't hold it, maybe it's a slave and a spy." Zhang Mazi was already excited when he said this, and the tips of his nose were a little red: "Let's follow them closely, this is a great achievement!" β
Li Hei also nodded.
The two followed Dong Zhongyong and Dong Zhongkang all the way, and at this time, the two of them had already left the crowd to watch the excitement and walked in the direction of Willow Street.
It's a short distance from Willow Street, and after about a cup of tea, it's time to get to the ground.
This Willow Street also has a name, called Lantern Street, which is indeed worthy of its name, and both of these names are very apt.
This is a small street about less than a mile long, not too wide, and about two zhang to die, but it has a very different charm.
The streets are clean, the ground is paved with bluestone slabs, and there are special buckets for sewage and filth, which are absolutely not exposed. The buildings on both sides, the cornices and arches, are not large, but they are very exquisite. Here, it seems that there is a little less roughness of the north and a little more coquettishness of the south of the Yangtze River.
At the front end of the street, there are restaurants and tea shops on both sides, I am afraid that there must be seven or eight, outside these restaurants and tea shops, under the eaves, there are many yarn lanterns, I am afraid that there are dozens or hundreds of lights. The outside of these gauze lamps is mostly covered with pale red or pink, revealing a hazy and ambiguous atmosphere.
On both sides of the street, there are many weeping willows, which are already cold winter, and the leaves have already fallen off, but the dead branches and fallen trees have a different flavor. On the willow tree, there are also many lanterns.
From a distance, the street seems to be bathed in a pink ambiguity.
When people walk in it, they are naturally intoxicated. And at this moment, under this lantern, under the willow tree, under the eaves, there are already some women standing. Dong Zhongyong was dumbfounded: "There are a lot of women (pronunciation: nizi, ni is four sounds)." Dong Zhongkang has never experienced this kind of scene, but since he brought Dong Zhongyong here, he naturally wanted to hold on to the field, so he pretended to smile indifferently: "What is this?" The battle is ahead! β
