The streets became deserted, and occasionally a few pedestrians were in a hurry, and their clothes and hats were tightly wrapped-

Because of this, the sound of the hooves is so distinct.

Two people came from the direction of Qipan Street, one old and one young, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, and both of them each rode a big green mule, which was very large, with a large and thick head, long ears, smooth and well-developed muscles, and a shiny body with oily hair.

At first glance, you can tell that it is a good horse and mule.

The mule was also docile, and it didn't need to be controlled by the master to go forward obediently, and the two of them shook on the mule.

When you get closer, you can see that both of them are wearing thick cotton jackets, cotton coats and cotton hats, which are tightly wrapped and look very bloated. Especially the one who was short and fat, and he looked like a ball. Both of them wore face towels to protect them from the wind, and only two eyes were exposed, so they couldn't see their faces clearly at all.

In front of both of them was a very large blanket lying horizontally, bulging, and I didn't know what was in it.

The sound of horses' hooves made a guard at the gate from a half-conscious noise, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and a little surprised, at this time, those merchants on the road are all running to the city, how can there be people out of the city? On this cold day, go out to find death?

But looking at the thick cotton clothes on the two people, and then looking at the tattered fat jacket on his body, his heart suddenly became unbalanced, he stood in the middle of the road, the spear in his hand was crooked, tilted his head and shouted: "Stop, where are you going?" I don't dare to show my face when I hide it, do I want to do something wrong? ”

In fact, there is no need to interrogate when entering the city, but there is no need to interrogate when you go out of the city.

As for buttoning their hats as soon as they came up, they learned from those officials, these soldiers are called soldiers, but they don't need to fight, they don't need to practice, and they are mixed in the market all day long, but they have learned a good way to splash the scoundrel. If it is a small common person who has never seen the world, give them a scare, and if they are afraid, they will quickly take money to eliminate the disaster.

A few soldiers next to him also came up grinning, they all had some vision, and they didn't look like they had a backer.

The two big green mules stopped, and the tall and thin one jumped off the horse, untied his scarf, arched his hand, and said with a smile: "Everyone, I haven't seen you for a few days, why, even I can't recognize it?" ”

All the soldiers took a closer look, and they were all a little embarrassed. Among them guarding the North City Gate, which one doesn't know Zhang Mazi? This piece is the boundary of Zhang Mazi, the fortune teller, the thief Buddha in the alley on the street, the drug trafficker, and the secret prostitute who half-conceals the door, all have to give him an offering, and it can be said that he is a famous figure in this acre and three points of land.

On weekdays, they are familiar faces, they talk and laugh when they meet, and occasionally they have a drink together, but they stop people at this time, so they are naturally embarrassed.

Zhang Mazi was not angry, he was Liu San'er's subordinate, and he was very close, and these soldiers were also on the pole to Liu San'er, a servant with some real power, because Zhang Mazi was not afraid of them. However, he was mixed up on the street, and he was well-versed in the world, so he naturally did not want to offend them. These people are not successful enough, and they are more than enough to fail.

He grabbed a handful of copper coins from his arms, handed them over with a smile, and said, "Little brother has been tight for the past two days, a little meaning, not a tribute, this cold day, you take it to drink tea." ”

The soldier hurriedly excused himself, but Zhang Mazi insisted on stuffing it into his hand, refused twice, and then accepted it.

They really didn't expect to get the money, although it wasn't much, but it was enough for everyone to drink a bowl of hot soup and eat two fragrant and soft big oil cakes in the small shop next door. Immediately became extremely enthusiastic about Zhang Mazi, but Zhang Mazi was impatient to talk to them, withdrew two more sentences, then confessed, got on the mule, and the two went out of the city.

The two of them walked out of the city and headed in the northeast direction, and after walking for a while, Zhang Mazi glanced back at Yanghe City. The tall black-gray walls stood in the cold wind, and the surrounding area was desolate and lifeless.

Zhang Mazi sighed softly.

The other one is short and fat, naturally it is the Qingyunzi of the Jieling Lux, the old man glanced at Zhang Mazi, and laughed: "What's the matter, do you want to be the person in the nest?" ”

The relationship between Zhang Mazi and Zhang Xiang'er, the old man saw it that day, and later found an opportunity to ask Zhang Mazi, and Zhang Mazi also admitted it. He thought that he would have to be reprimanded, but he didn't expect the old man to just sigh but not say anything. In fact, characters like Qingyunzi, who have done this business, will worship ghosts and fear gods, but they will not pay much attention to these rules of the world. After all, their work is a great way to break the rules of etiquette.

Zhang Mazi nodded, his expression a little stunned.

After Dong Ce left that day, he and Master made preparations for a trip. Dong Ce gave Qingyunzi a hundred taels of silver, and Qingyunzi bought two big green mules and bought some tools, some of which were very rare and had to be built in a blacksmith shop. Of course, it was Zhang Mazi who came forward, Qingyunzi would not show his head, and he was still a little afraid and jealous in his heart. Zhang Mazi has also saved a lot of money over the years, and wants to pay for it himself, but Qingyunzi refuses to let it. only said that since he recognized himself as a master, he would eat his own and drink his own, and he would have to save a good net worth for his apprentice in the future, and he would never let you suffer and suffer!

The old Taoist priest was particularly stubborn at this point.

After a few days of preparation, everything was ready to stop, and early this morning, the two set off.

When Zhang Xiang'er came out to send off, she kept a smile on her face, but yesterday, she hugged Zhang Mazi and cried. She also listened to some of it that day, and vaguely knew Qingyunzi's identity, so she was even more worried, and she didn't know if Zhang Mazi would encounter any danger when she went out with her this trip. After all, I'm going to rob the grave and dig the grave! Who knows what's out there? Folklore has exaggerated that to the fullest.

It's just that she is a very smart woman, she knows what to say and what not to say, and when to do it. She is like a virtuous wife, packing up for Zhang Mazi and sending him away.

It was only when the figure turned out of the alley that she cried bitterly.

In addition to these necessary things, the two of them also brought a piece of Dong Ce's waist card to them, with this waist card, they can prove their identity, and they don't have to worry about some small troubles.

Qing Yunzi took a breath, and suddenly sneered: "Look, you are quite familiar with those soldiers at the city gate?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Mazi said: "It's not that there is any friendship, it's just that sometimes they drink alcohol, and sometimes they have to take care of that territory." ”

"In the future, don't associate with these people, you can drink wine, but you must not drink high." Qing Yunzi looked at him, and his voice was serious: "If you do what we do, you have to be vigilant from time to time, if you say too much, you will lose, and you may have to miss a sentence." Less to say less wrong, more to say more wrong, not to say good. Not to mention being drunk, it is estimated that the eighteen generations of ancestors can shake it out. You've just done it, and it's been a long time in the future, so it's best not to get too close to people...... If you stay underground for a long time, you will have a smell on your body, don't let people see through it. ”

Zhang Mazi woke up and knew that this was the master instructing him, so he hurriedly responded and wrote it down carefully in his heart.

All the way east, while hurrying Qingyunzi told him some rules of this line, precautions, etc., as for the trick of unloading the Linglus, it has not been mentioned yet, and it is too early to say that.

The wind was northwest, and the two of them went northeast first, then east, all the way through, not against the wind, and their bodies were tightly wrapped, so it was not too uncomfortable.

After talking for a while, Qingyunzi was a little dry, took out a tin wine jug from his coat and put it on his mouth to drink, and sighed comfortably.

Zhang Mazi smiled: "Master, how can you drink?" ”

Qing Yunzi glared at him: "Your master and I can naturally drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, if you have my amount, I don't care about you." ”

Zhang Mazi took the flask and took a sip, only to feel a burst of heat in his abdomen, and it was comfortably tight.

He put the wine jug into his coat and said, "Master, are we going in the direction of Gao Shanwei?" ”

"It's not Gao Shanwei, it's much farther than that." Qingyunzi said: "Let's go to Xuanfu, go to Baoanzhou, and go to Huailai." ”

"So far?" Zhang Mazi was taken aback, and he didn't expect to go to such a far boundary before leaving: "What are you doing over there?" ”

"Find some people, those dirt rats, hidden deeply! I don't go there myself, I'm afraid I won't be able to dig them up. And ah......" Qingyunzi smiled leisurely: "Since the Qin and Han dynasties, there have been many big families over there, many rich people, many powerful people, and many large tombs and mounds. This time, let's open a meat dish first and make some money, so as not to let Lord Dong look down on him. By the way, I also give you a kid to practice his hands. ”

This is a field that Zhang Mazi has never touched. As soon as he mentioned it, he was full of interest, and hurriedly asked, "Master, tell me, what is it like to do what we do?" ”

"Come on, look at you, it's rare to be tight, the old man will tell you." Qingyunzi was in a good mood, laughed, let Zhang Mazi get closer, and said, "Today, I'll tell you about the four characters in our line of unloading Lux Shi." ”

"Four words? What's the word? Zhang Mazi hurriedly asked.

Qingyunzi stroked his beard and said with a reserved smile: "It is the four words of Wangwen and Qianche." ”

Zhang Mazi was stunned: "Look at what you hear?" Isn't that what the doctors in the clinic use? This praise was just right, it was the itch of Qingyunzi, he laughed: "What are those doctors compared to us?" They look and hear and inquire about people's diseases, but we are looking and hearing and asking, but it is the pulse of the world! ”
