Luo Changfeng and A Fei crossed the forest and crossed the wilderness, almost in a straight line to Baoding City, and a week later, the two successfully entered Baoding City.

Although Li Xunhuan walked on the crooked official road, he was taking a carriage, and the speed was naturally faster than the two, and when they arrived in Baoding, Li Xunhuan had already arrived.

Walking on the bustling and lively streets, Luo Changfeng felt like a world away from home.

For most of the month, he and Ah Fei crossed the mountains and mountains in the wind and snow, and all they saw was a white expanse, except for the inn in the small town of Zhangjiakou, where he had an intersection with Li Xunhuan, there was no one else on his side.

Even if they meet other people, they are basically coming for the golden silk armor, and they are friends and foes.

Now that he is walking in the crowd again, Luo Changfeng feels a little unaccustomed.

Luo Changfeng looked at Ah Fei and said, "We have to try to make a living, otherwise we won't even have a place to stay." ”

Ah Fei said in a deep voice: "I know there is a place to stay, you come with me." ”

The two entered the city from the north gate and walked along the main road to the center of the city, Ah Fei took Luo Changfeng to turn to the street on the right and went to the west gate.

Luo Changfeng didn't ask Ah Fei where he was going to take him, he just followed him quietly, it was close to noon at this time, the snow in the sky was much lighter, and the streets were full of people.

Ah Fei and Luo Changfeng bought some dry food from a street stall, went all the way out of the West Gate, followed the official road to Deli Xu Road, and then turned onto a small road in the northwest direction.

Soon, a building with a large area but a very old and dilapidated building appeared in front of Luo Changfeng.

The wall connected to the gate collapsed for a while, and the path in front of the gate was covered with wild grass, and at this time it was crushed to the ground by the thick snow, and when I stepped on it, it suddenly sank to a depth of more than a foot.

Luo Changfeng followed Ah Fei to the outside of the gate, looking at the plaque on the door where the paint was almost completely peeling, and he could vaguely see four large characters with iron hooks and silver strokes.

Luo Changfeng didn't know the oracle bone inscription and the big seal and the small seal, but he didn't know the traditional regular script, and the plaque was written with the words "Shen Family Ancestral Hall".

Ah Fei glanced up at the plaque, his expression was complicated, but he didn't say anything, and Luo Changfeng didn't ask anything.

Ah Fei pushed open the crumbling door of the ancestral hall and walked in.

The ancestral hall of the Shen family is not small, and the building structure is also very complete, with the wall, the entrance hall, the front hall, the back hall, the annex room, and the living building.

Although the slab doors and windows are very old and covered with cobwebs, the overall frame is still stable and not too badly damaged.

There was only one offering table and wooden shelf left in the main hall, but the tablet on the shelf was missing, presumably taken by the host when he left the place.

"How is it here?" Standing in the middle courtyard, Ah Fei asked.

Luo Changfeng said: "It's quiet and secluded, it's a good place to live." ”

Ah Fei nodded, didn't say anything more, just turned around and walked to the living building, and silently began to clean up.

They don't need much to clean, just tidy up two habitable rooms and turn one into a kitchen.

It took an hour to sort out the two adjacent bedrooms, and chop up the broken furniture in one of the annexes to make firewood.

Luo Changfeng opened a few windows near the roof, so that he could light a fire here to cook in the future, and the smoke could be dispersed.

It's just that if Gou Jian knew that the pure Jun sword, which he regarded as a peerless treasure, was used by Luo Changfeng as a firewood knife, I don't know how he would feel.

After cleaning and tidying up the necessary rooms, the two jumped onto the roof, cleared the snow from the roof, and then sorted out the messy and broken tiles that had been unrepaired for many years, and put them back one by one.

All the holes that could leak from the rain were plugged, and when there were not enough tiles, they removed the tiles from the other useless roofs and put them on the roofs of their bedrooms and kitchens.

The two of them never started from time to time, and it was not finished until the time of the unitary, and it was already dark, but they still lacked many things, but they couldn't do it today, so they had to wait for the night.

The two of them took out the dry food they had bought when they passed by the market during the day, and made do to fill their stomachs.

There was no bedding on the bed, and it was too cold to sleep, so the two went to the kitchen to make a bonfire, and put a bed board next to the bonfire, one left and one right, and so on for the night.

......

The next day, the sky was getting brighter, the snow was getting thicker, and the winter in the north seemed to be particularly long, and I didn't know when the spring of revival would come.

Luo Changfeng and A Fei left the ancestral hall early in the morning and went to the city, and there were occasionally peasant woodcutters carrying vegetables and firewood to sell in the city on the official road.

After entering the city, I saw that the long street was like washing, the snow had been swept away on the side of the road last night, and the rough bluestone slabs were like pieces of green jade in the faint morning light.

There was already a sound of the city in the distance, and the earth was gradually waking up, but the sky was still very dark, and it seemed that there would be no sunlight today.

Luo Changfeng and Ah Fei have to buy a lot of things today, pots and pans, bedding, sheets, firewood, rice, oil, salt, and so on.

In total, there were more than seventy taels of silver on them, which was quite a lot.

When he bought dry food before, Luo Changfeng had already figured out the purchasing power of silver, and a civilian's living expenses for a year were enough for only one or two halves of silver.

Seventy taels, even if they need to spend some on the necessities of life, even if they eat a little better on weekdays and have meat at a meal, it is enough for them to live for a few years.

Before Luo Changfeng said that he needed to make a living, it was based on the situation of buying a house or building a house, and after having a place to stay, they didn't have to worry about life for the time being.

As for the future, when a swordsman mixes the rivers and lakes, won't he even be able to get a little silver?

In Luo Changfeng's plan, in order to make Ah Fei famous all over the world, this sweeping away evil forces is an indispensable part, and evil forces usually do not lack money.

When the two of them arrived at the bazaar, they first went to the carpenter and bought two large baskets, and then went to the carpenter to buy a flat pole and two benches.

Then he took the basket and went to the blacksmith shop to buy all the pots and pans, and then went to the tailor's shop to buy sheets and bedding, and at the same time made several clothes tailor-made, and the tailor shop owner told them to pick them up in three days.

After buying all the supplies, the next thing is naturally to eat, and the two of them went to the grain store, and the rice grain was only bought for the time being, and one stone of rice only needed half a tael of silver.

Luo Changfeng secretly weighed it, one stone of rice was about one hundred and seventy or eighty catties, enough for the two of them to eat for several months.

That's it, Luo Changfeng picked a stone of rice, Ah Fei picked a basket, and inquired about the location of the vegetable market with the grain store shopkeeper, so they went straight to the vegetable market, they planned to buy some vegetables and treat themselves.

For most of the month, they also had a decent meal in the town inn in Zhangjiakou, and at other times, they were either drinking blood in Rumao or eating dry food.

Now, it's finally settled.
