Act 164: Soft Stubble(1/2)

Ten out of ten, thirteen return, and ten out of ten, return thirteen, which means simple and clear. Generally, it takes one year, and a very small number of them are in units of months.

If you can’t pay it back when it expires, you will get the old profits. Even if you don’t borrow too much, you will get the money like a snowball, and it will get bigger and bigger.

It's the one that the donkey rolls around.

It is not unreasonable that Chen Yuansheng thought the interest rate was high. In modern times, 30% of the interest rate was definitely usury. However, in the Northern Song Dynasty, this became a symbol of kindness.

"The interest rate is not high. Brother, you and I are both scholars. You must understand it when you read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles." The middle-aged scholar said to Chen Yuansheng with a kind look.

"I'm so weird." Chen Yuansheng replied. At this time, he suddenly remembered that the gold had been exchanged for food, but the lunch problem of his three people had not been solved. He hesitated for a while and said to the middle-aged scholar, "Brother Liao, can you borrow six cents? You will definitely return it all next time you come."

The middle-aged man took out six cents of money from his cuff and said, "What's wrong with giving it to my brother for a small amount of money? However, I must arrive at the Daminghu Poetry Club."

Chen Yuansheng replied, "Natural."

After taking the six cents and carrying the invitation, Chen Yuansheng took out the rat skin and put it on his shoulder, came to the wooden cart containing four stone rice, picked up a hemp rope, landed it on his shoulder, and walked forward with all his strength.

"Good brother, please wait." When the middle-aged man saw this scene, his voice became louder and less calm. He lifted up his robe and ran to Chen Yuansheng, "You are so rude to the scholar."

"I can't even eat, so why are you talking about politeness?" Chen Yuansheng took off the Lun scarf tied on his head and said, "Brother Liao, there's no problem like this."

"It's true, no more..." The middle-aged scholar stared at Chen Yuansheng for a while before saying.

"There will be a date later." Chen Yuansheng said that, and then pulled the car and got away.

The wooden cart carrying things was much heavier than when it was not carried. Chen Yuansheng and Uncle Li were not very strong, and one person could not pull it, so two other people had to work together.

"Erlang, go buy three sesame cakes." When he arrived near the Chengdong sesame cake shop, Chen Yuansheng took out the six cents he had just asked and said to Wang Er.

The car parked on the side of the road, Wang Er, who remembered Chen Yuansheng's words, pursed his mouth and took six cents to buy sesame cakes.

The sesame cake was dead noodles, very dry and a little choked. Just by the water in the gourd, Chen Yuansheng barely finished the tasteless sesame cake.

He leaned against the car and leaned towards Li Bo and Wang Er, and said in a low voice, "When we walk back, save some effort and put the wooden gun in a place where we can get it. The beggar on the left and the peach wood seller on the right. I am watching us, I guess they will take action when they leave the city."

"Don't look!" Chen Yuansheng whispered Wang Er, who wanted to look back, and then said, "We are fleeing households. No one in the city can rely on ourselves. Whether the people in the village can have a meal or even whether we can return to the village alive depends on ourselves."

Chen Yuansheng looked at Uncle Li, Uncle Li nodded, looked at Wang Er again, and Wang Er nodded as well.

"Let's go after eating." Chen Yuansheng said.

Wang Er ate the sesame cake in a circle. He left the sesame seeds in the middle of the cake until the end. He looked at the remaining sesame cake heart in obsession, and raised his head and stuffed it into his mouth.

He chewed vigorously, as if he wanted to squeeze out the last scent of the pancake, and finally drank a big sip of water. Chen Yuansheng and the other two started to set off again.

On the way, passers-by pointed at Chen Yuansheng, who was wearing a Confucian shirt and pulled a cart, gathered together in groups of three or three, not knowing what he was talking about.

Chen Yuansheng didn't care about these whispering people. His physical strength was mainly used to pull the cart, and his energy was mainly used to pay attention to those who observed them.

"Brother, I think they have discovered us. Should we give up?" said a dirty and smelly little man who was thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a dress that had not been washed for unknown periods.

"What? Give up? Have you been sweating pills by Lao Yufeng? I told you not to steal - watch Lao Yufeng take a shower, be careful that her man will come back and break you into eight pieces." said the boss, who was only twenty years old last year.

"Boss, you don't understand. Sister Yufeng looks so beautiful!" said the little Xianhan.

"I don't understand? What's the good thing about Lao Yufeng's fat meat that can sway a stick of incense when you take a step? You guy, you have the ability to get Lao Yufeng into bed and then hug a big fat boy for his man. Don't miss her now, hurry up and contact other brothers and look forward to those people.

That scholar, I watched him drill all the pawn shops in the city and bought so many meters. I thought he could still have something. We snatched him and would not have to worry about food and drink for at least two months.

Then you go and get two kilograms of meat, and Lao Yufeng, the foodie, will be left behind you."

The boss talked for a long time. At the beginning, the little gang was listless. When he heard it, he stood straight and flashed in his eyes.

"Are you serious?" asked the little gang.

"When did I tell lies? Go!" the boss said proudly.

Xiaobang ran out in a daze. Thinking of being able to play adult games with Yufengjie, whom he dreamed of, Xiaobang felt that he was full of strength.

The rat skin covered with the pads avoided the hemp rope directly rubbing with the skin. Chen Yuansheng changed his shoulder and continued to pull the cart.

He left the city without any danger, and three wooden guns were still there, putting them in the car. The three men marched forward at a relatively slow speed.

You can't walk too fast, you must retain your physical strength, otherwise those who follow them will have no power to fight back once they strike.

Chen Yuansheng had thought that Futong, who had the best physical fitness and the highest force in the village, followed him into the city. However, when he finally decided, he gave up. Because, if Futong entered the city, his temperament that looked like a modern soldier would cause greater trouble than his force.

The sun fell to the west, and before I knew it, the sky began to dark.

The road back to the mountain village has been mostly gone. Wang Er looked back and said to Chen Yuansheng, "Master, there will be no problem. It's so far away. If you don't go back, someone will come to rob us, right?"

"I can't say it." Chen Yuansheng shook his head. No one knew what horrible things would be in the darkness before dawn.

……………………

"Shopkeeper, why did you invite that kid to the poetry party? He was one hundred cents cheaper. I saw that he was wearing a pair of straw sandals and a cart, not like a scholar." said Liao Ji's friend.

"You don't understand. He is a scholar. No matter what he wears, you can understand it by looking at him. No one has a poor stick, but his mud legs have the same look." The middle-aged scholar lay on a chair and closed his eyes to rest. "Today, that poor guy is good. His daughter is good. If you can't afford to pay back the money, you can get his daughter first."

"I understand." said the guy.

The night here is quiet.

The wheels rolled over the stones, accompanied by the rough breathing of three people.

"Master, slow down, I can't see clearly!" Wang Er rubbed his eyes and said.

"Persevere, I'll get to the clover in less than two miles." Chen Yuansheng said, looking at the road signs on the side of the road. He knew how Wang Er felt now, because he himself also had night blindness.

Now the situation of the three of me is very bad. Not only is it dark, but I am also tired and hungry. The porridge I drank in the morning and the cake I ate for lunch have been digested.

I don’t know if those idle men in the city have given up...

When it was still dawn before, they could barely find their traces, but now it's dark and you can't see anything.

Not seeing it does not mean that danger leaves. Chen Yuansheng thought they would take action immediately after leaving the city, but he did not expect that they could wait for so long.

Continuing to move forward, Chen Yuansheng suddenly felt a little regretful. He didn't let anyone stay in the parody before leaving, so he came out to pick it up at night. If he had a full staff, he believed that there was nothing to be afraid of in these idle men in the city.

……………………

The wind blew gently.

"Boss, we have all come out so far, and we are not going to do anything? My feet are almost worn out." Xiao Bangxian's excitement had long been gone, and he said to the boss beside him in his throat.

"You know what the hell is! Do you see the guns the three of them are holding? If they still have the strength, we might not be able to beat them." The boss suddenly rushed to the back of the little gang's head.

"Oh!" Xiao Gangyi screamed, but the sound was not loud. He muttered, "Boss, you always say I'm stupid. I think you're beaten by you."

When the boss heard his words, his hand raised again.

"Boss, I was wrong." Xiaobangyi saw the boss's waved hand and begged repeatedly.

However, shutting up was not more than a breath, and he said to himself, "I don't believe it, the three of them are that powerful."

"Oh!" Xiao Bangxian completely shut his mouth.

A half moon hangs in the sky, not very bright. The deserted moonlight pours on the ground, making it a little cold.

A black cloud flew quietly to cover the moonlight.

The boss said to the little gang on the left and the partner on the right, "Take it!"

"Do it!"

"Do it!"

"Do it!"

...

The "hands-taking sound" spread like ripples, and the order quickly reached everyone's ears.

Taking advantage of the black clouds, a group of people were hunched, carrying various weapons in their hands, and heading towards the wooden cart on the road.

……………………

Chen Yuan moved his ears vividly, as if he had heard something, but when he listened carefully, it seemed like an illusion just now.

One second...

Two seconds...

Three seconds...

Chen Yuansheng suddenly shouted, "Get the gun!"

Bo Li and Wang Er, with the same conditioned reflex, picked up the wooden gun on the wooden car. After they took it, Chen Yuansheng also held the wooden gun in his hand.

Using wooden carts as cover, three formations formed.

The six-foot wooden gun moved forward, burning black thorns, facing the darkness ahead.

Nothing, nothing was seen.

However, Li Bo and Wang Er did not question Chen Yuansheng's order, but implemented it as soon as possible.

……………………

The boss's night vision is obviously much better than Chen Yuansheng and the other three. He vaguely heard the sound of "holding a gun" and saw three figures lined up together. He was even more grateful for his previous decision.

These three people are not soft-tempered!

There are no shouts from the sky, no swords and shadows.
