Mysterious Catastrophe - Chapter 535

[Chapter 533 Fucheng (Ask for a monthly pass!)]

The weather is getting colder.

Although the water in Taize Lake does not freeze in winter, it is freezing cold.

In ancient times, the medical conditions were backward, and a cold could kill someone…

The fishermen of Taize Lake often look for some tidal flats and deserted islands in winter. The boat knots are continuous, forming a ‘boat island’ and ‘boat village’, reporting to each other to keep warm, drying fishing nets, etc…

However, during the festival, the price of fish is also high, so many fishermen still venture out of the lake to fish.

When the first light snow fell in winter, Aaron put the boat next to ‘Lao Yutou’ and ‘Lao Chutou’ and asked them to take care of them.

There were only some ordinary household goods on the Wu Peng ship, and the pages of the book seized after killing ‘Yanli Liu’ were repackaged by him and buried in the reeds.

Therefore, there is no fear that someone will find any clues.

…

After walking along the official road for an hour, a blue-black city wall built of bricks and stones appeared in front of Aaron. .

There was also a long queue at the gate of the city, mostly honest farmers and small businessmen.

As for angry horses in fresh clothes, martial arts warriors with swords and knives, and dignitaries, naturally there is no need to line up, and the guards of the city have to bow their heads and bow their heads to please see them off.

Aaron came to the end of the line and waited patiently.

At the same time, he raised his head and saw the huge plaque on the city gate with three big characters written in a dance.

“Well…this should be the ‘Taizawa House’…I learned it again…”

Aaron secretly remembered.

A fisherman going to read and read is simply too eye-catching.

Moreover, those Qing Gao scribes are willing to accept his ‘beam repair’, they still have two opinions.

The plan in Aaron’s mind was to accumulate slowly and learn secretly by himself.

Anyway, there are still a lot of materials, such as the big money in his hand, which he later heard called ‘Dingyuan Tongbao’ at Yuyang Wine House, and the reverse is ‘one coin’… This is another six words!

And pictographs have certain rules. The more you learn, the faster you can guess.

Aaron is not in a hurry anyway. This time he entered the city to buy New Year’s goods in name, but in fact, he was looking around, feeling the situation, and learning Chinese characters by the way.

So many plaques, shops… just ask, take a look…you can learn a lot.

If you can find a copy of Mengtong’s thousand-character text, it will be even better.

‘No no…buying a book is still too ostentatious, I won’t take it…’

Aaron shook his head secretly, and slowly followed the team forward. He saw that there was a bulletin at the gate of the city, which seemed to be a sea capture instrument or something.

There was also a clerk who was chanting aloud beside them, apparently for the illiterate people like them, and they were immediately interested.

“Here is someone who committed Ma Qian, killed two people, and fled… Seven feet tall, with three moles on the left… If anyone wins, they will be rewarded 500 yuan!”

“Jiangyang thief Bai Yushu…a dozen thieves at night…the crime is extremely heinous…if there are clues…the government will reward you, and thirteen companies in the city will raise funds to give you a hundred taels of silver…”

…

Aaron looked at the words on the list and tried to compare them with the words in the mouth of the clerk.

After all, he is not a child, and his learning ability and subjective initiative are very strong.

After memorizing the glyph and pronunciation, he glanced at the portrait curiously.

As a result, Ma Qian’s head was still clear, with a sketch style, completely different from the ancient random drawings that Aaron thought.

As for the ‘white jade rat’?

There are no portraits at all, even male or female, and how old they are.

Aaron didn’t take it seriously, and lined up at the gate of the city.

The guards guarding the city glanced at him, smelled the fishy smell, and his face became ugly: “It costs a lot of money to enter the city!”

Although he complained that this was hindering business development, Aaron didn’t say anything, paid the money obediently, and entered Taize City.

There are bungalows of different heights on both sides of the city, and the roads are not too wide.

Overall, a big disappointment to Aaron.

It wasn’t until I walked to the East Market of the transaction that I felt a little lively.

Perhaps it was because of the collective fairs during the New Year, farmers from all over the country also gathered here to sell some handicrafts they made.

Bamboo baskets, benches… and bamboo horses and grass dragonflies that children play with…

The shops on both sides were crowded with people, and there were signs outside.

For example, the word ‘mi’ hangs outside the rice shop.

The tea house is hung with the word ‘tea’.

There are also salt houses, pawn shops, cloth houses, gold and silver shops, restaurants, tea houses, rouge shops…

Watching a lot of blond Westerners and watching this kind of oriental market makes Aaron inexplicably feel a little more intimate.

Aaron, like a countryman entering the city, stopped and walked all the way, asking questions, but he just didn’t buy it, so that I don’t know how many merchants slandered the poor.

However, businessmen pay attention to welcoming guests from all over the world with a smile, and it is New Year’s Eve, so this politeness and scene cannot be lost.

Aaron didn’t go to those big firms with gangsters. He learned a lot just because of his thick skin.

After shopping for a long time, I learned a lot of commonly used words, and I just waited to go back and digest it silently.

In addition, I also bought the cheapest half a catty of ‘Gaomo’ and a piece of bacon from the shops that shop around, as New Year’s goods.

‘Gaomo’ is broken tea leaves, and the stall owner is the coolie who transports the tea leaves. These are the finely broken tea leaves collected on weekdays.

There are various varieties of tea, mixed together, some poor and sour, but the taste is not bad.

The bacon is wild boar hunted by hunters in the mountains. It is reluctant to eat after being air-dried and marinated, and it is also exchanged for money.

The hunter looked tall and big, but his smile was quite simple and honest, and he said that he wanted to save enough money to make new clothes for the mother-in-law and children at home.

Aaron looked at the ragged linen shirt and shrugged his shoulders.

Anyway, he has no money to buy new clothes for the New Year.

Just walking and watching, when passing a high gate compound, through the open door, you can see a huge square inside, dozens of strong men are lifting stone locks, practicing martial arts, so Aaron can’t help but stop. pace.

“This is the Qingshan Martial Arts Hall, isn’t it? The owner of the hall, Xue Qingshan, was a well-known great boxer back then, but now he’s getting stronger…”

“This martial arts hall has also opened its doors to show off during the Chinese New Year, attracting people to learn martial arts. Usually, the door is closed, and if you dare to peek, you will be beaten up, saying that you are secretly learning martial arts…”

…

There was a lot of discussion among the pedestrians around. Aaron looked at the two martial arts guards in front of the martial arts hall and felt that the muscles were quite developed. As for more, he could not see it.

He passed by the martial arts hall slowly, and saw the ‘Huichun Hall’ next to the martial arts hall.

Since ancient times, medicine and martial arts have not been separated, and there are often buildings such as medical halls and medicine halls next to the martial arts hall, and they are very experienced in the treatment of bruises and injuries.

Aaron spent more time standing before the ‘Huichuntang’ than the head of the martial arts hall.

After all, this body will also get sick, and may even die.

If you want to live, you have to find a good doctor and take medicine!

‘We have to pay attention to this in the future, um, it’s better to teach yourself medical skills…’

There was also a storyteller in the city, and it was not until dusk that Aaron came out of the city.

The soldier who guarded the city also deliberately tore open his package to check, saw the bacon and tea inside, muttered a poor ghost, and waved him away.

After Aaron’s back disappeared, the city guard came to rest under the shed next to him.

There was also a smiling man in the shed, who immediately came over to pour him tea, and asked with a smile, “Master, how is it?”

If Aaron is here, he must be able to recognize him. He is the sidekick who often follows behind ‘Tiger Lord’.

“A poor guy who can’t even buy a piece of cloth.”

The soldiers cursed and took a sip of hot tea.

“Fortunately, I thought he could have something good when he entered the city alone.”

The members of the ‘Goldfish Gang’ who poured tea accompanied them with a smile: “Excuse me, Lord Tiger has instructed, these fishermen are very skilled, don’t take advantage of the Chinese New Year to bypass the fish market and bring your precious fish to the city. When you come to sell, you have to be careful…”

After speaking, he said with some pity: “In the past, there was still a leprosy Liu as an eyeliner, and I could know in advance if there was any trouble, but I don’t know where the death went recently… Alas, it’s a pity, his filial piety is still pretty good. Rich……”

“Oh, man, it’s not a dead casino or a woman’s belly… As for the eyeliner, it’s not easy? Change it if it’s gone!” How can the water legs not obey obediently?”
