Chapter 192: Shopping 100 years ago

Meng Xiaoshuai walked out of the inspector's side room and looked back. The young policeman followed her.

Meng Xiaoshuai said: "Oh, thank you."

The young policeman asked in a low voice: "Miss, are you not having any money?"

Meng Xiaoshuai was waiting for this sentence, and she stopped immediately and nodded: "Well, they were all stolen."

The young policeman took out a banknote from his pocket and stuffed it into Meng Xiaoshuai's hand. Meng Xiaoshuai looked at it and said the banknote was written with the words "Bank of Communications" and the words "Five Circles" and the patterns were very simple.

The young policeman said, "If you come, you will be a guest. Take it, the salary I just paid."

She looked at him, her eyes full of gratitude, but immediately changed into a charming expression: "My brother, I'm so embarrassed..."

The young policeman said: "Where are you going next?"

Meng Xiaoshuai said: "I'll go to Xi'an."

The young policeman said: "The road is still far away. Be careful, your girl, you should hurry on the road and try to walk the official road."

Meng Xiaoshuai said: "I understand, thank you..."

Then, she turned around and left the police station.

She found that although the language had changed, she was very clumsy when she listened to the other party's words, and there was basically no problem. She could communicate with these people. Moreover, these policemen in the Republic of China were not as bad as she thought, but were very friendly.

Meng Xiaoshuai wandered around this ancient town.

Several children of all sizes followed her and watched the fun with a smile. The boys were all naked, with braids, and the girls had squids. Their clothes were very worn.

Passing by a steaming stall, Meng Xiaoshuai tried to buy a tray of buns with money, and only spent five cents. Through this "shopping", she probably realized that the "five-round" banknotes are equivalent to the current 500 to 1,000 yuan.

She ate a few buns and kept the fragrance on her mouth. She held the rest in her hand and prepared to bring it to Wu Min.

As she walked, the bustling suddenly became lively in front of her, and a group of people rushed over, filling the streets. She didn't know what was going on, so she hid on the side of the road to observe. The group of people were men and women. They shouted angrily, unable to hear what they were saying. A strong man was pushing a cart, and there was a wooden cage on the cart, and a girl stood in it with her hair disheveled, as if she was a prisoner.

The group of people walked very slowly, Meng Xiaoshuai guessed that they were parading on the streets.

Next to her was an old lady selling needles and thread. Meng Xiaoshuai asked her: "What's wrong with that woman?"

The old lady's dialect was even heavier. Meng Xiaoshuai took a lot of effort to understand that the woman was named Mumu, she was a bandit, and her man was the horse-boy of the female bandit leader on the mountain.

Meng Xiaoshuai thought secretly, it’s really unreasonable! What does her relationship with her man being a thief? She couldn’t help but feel sympathy for this girl.

The group of people are getting closer and closer.

Meng Xiaoshuai gradually saw clearly that the girl was wearing a dark blue wide-sleeved long gown and black wide-leg pants, and a pair of red embroidered shoes were faintly exposed. They were two feet as big as rice dumplings, and they seemed to be unable to stand and were trembling violently.

The spectators surrounded by the prison car were mostly poor people. They were naked and rolled up their trousers, their veins burst out, and their emotions were excited. Some people screamed hoarsely. The women were wearing coarse cloth clothes, cursing and crying. Meng Xiaoshuai also saw a pointed-faced woman reaching her hand into the wooden cage and pinched the woman named Mumu hard.

There are too many people, Meng Xiaoshuai can't hear what they are shouting, only hear some intermittent words-

"Slutty lady!..."

"Thousands of cuts!"

"Put the oil pan!..."

"One life is worth one life!..."

“Sell ×!…”

When the prison car passed Meng Xiaoshuai, her eyes passed through the woman's messy hair in the prison car. She glanced at her face and Meng Xiaoshuai's head became louder with a "boom" - isn't that juice?

The other party did not see Meng Xiaoshuai. At this time, in her eyes, there were countless angry faces, and each face was blurred and distorted.

Meng Xiaoshuai stood there in a daze, and the prison car had already rolled over.

The crowd also walked over.

Meng Xiaoshuai was panicked.

She asked the old lady: "What will they deal with this Mumu?"

The old lady said: After traveling to the street, they will hold a ceremony to worship the gods, then tie a stone to her and fall into the river.

Meng Xiaoshuai chased behind the prison car and urgently considered what to do.

The parade passed by the police station door. It seemed that the police station could not control these matters. What should we do?

She followed the prison car from afar and walked through the streets. Not only did the number of onlookers not decrease, but more and more people were watching. No one paid attention to her, but everyone only paid attention to the unlucky woman in the prison car.

Finally, the prison car slowly walked along a remote street outside the town.

Meng Xiaoshuai heard some children shouting: "It's time to start! Kill people!"

Meng Xiaoshuai stopped little by little. She really didn't want to see a living person drowned after being thrown into the river.

She began to wonder, is this woman a juice?

Perhaps, at that time, she left the lake and did not go to the humanoid race, but went to the Sun Tomb, entered the passage with "boredom" engraved, and came to Jing Town...

However, it was impossible for her to meet a bandit and marry him in such a short time!

Meng Xiaoshuai was thinking about it all, and suddenly there were a bunch of horse hooves and strange shouts from afar. Then, gunshots sounded again, just like the big firecrackers exploding, the sound was dull: "Bang!——" "Bang!"

She looked forward, and the crowds of people scattered and fled in scattering. One or two people fell down and were immediately stepped on by everyone.

She saw dozens of people riding fast horses rushing over the earth road, with loess covering the sky and the sun. There was no doubt that those people were bandits on the mountain. The crowds paraded quickly disappeared, leaving only a few bodies.

Meng Xiaoshuai hurriedly hid behind the stone lion from a family next to him and secretly observed it.

The bandits rushed to the prison cart, and several people jumped off the horse, waved their swords, and smashed the prison cart in a few strokes. The woman named Mumu lay softly on the cart, as if fainting. A man held her and put her on the horse's back, then stepped on it. The horse tweeted and raised his horse's hooves high.

The dozens of bandits did not leave the same route, and they rushed into the town.

Meng Xiaoshuai quickly pushed the door panel of the house next to him, bolting it tightly.

In a blink of an eye, the bandits rushed over.

Meng Xiaoshuai sat next to the stone lion tremblingly, not daring to move.

The group of bandits ran over from Meng Xiaoshuai, and occasionally someone shot a shot into the sky, and the sound of gunfire was deafening.

After a few minutes, the sound of their horse hooves finally got farther and farther away.

Meng Xiaoshuai was still sitting, his whole body was weak.

After the surroundings became quiet, after a long time, the door panel next to her creaked. She looked back and saw that the door panel was pulled open a crack, revealing the naked head of a thin man. He looked around and muttered, "Oh, he was the ancestor..." and then retracted.

Meng Xiaoshuai finally stood up and walked forward in dismay.

It seems that the poor Mumu was rescued by her man. Meng Xiaoshuai breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, she realized that her bun was not known where she had been left.

She wanted to buy another tray for Wu Min, so she walked to the main street.

Walking out of this remote street, she saw the inspector running over from a distance with a few policemen in black, followed by a few people wearing vests and carrying spears. He should be the security team members. The group of bandits had long disappeared.

It was four or five o'clock in the afternoon. Maybe the bandits had just arrived, and there were almost no people on the street, and it was very quiet. The shop doors on both sides were closed tightly.

Meng Xiaoshuai walked a long way, suddenly stopped, and looked back and saw the little boy selling cigarettes following him.

When he saw Meng Xiaoshuai stop, he also stopped.

Meng Xiaoshuai asked: "Do you have something to do?"

The little boy didn't speak.

Meng Xiaoshuai walked towards him, and he ran away and entered an alley next to him.

Meng Xiaoshuai continued to walk, and finally, she saw a small stall selling buns, with two reed hens looking for food next to them. Meng Xiaoshuai walked over, spent five cents, bought another tray of buns, and asked the stall owner to pack it for her, holding it in her hand, and was about to leave, when he saw the little boy selling cigarettes again. This time, he stood a long distance and looked at Meng Xiaoshuai curiously.

Meng Xiaoshuai stopped paying attention to him. She looked around and identified the direction of returning to the cave.

You should walk back and walk out of the town.

She walked back.

When the little boy saw her coming, he ran away again.

so cute.

Just as Meng Xiaoshuai was about to walk out of the town, there were a lot of running sounds coming from behind.

She looked back and the commander came over with two policemen, about dozens of meters away from her. The commander raised a very heavy pistol, the barrel was thick and long, and he shouted, "Don't move!"

Meng Xiaoshuai said: "What are you doing!"

The commander continued to shout, "Raise your hand!"

The other two policemen also raised their guns and pointed them at her. They didn't see the young policeman.

Meng Xiaoshuai had no choice but to throw down the bun and raise his hands.

One of the policemen took off a bundle of rope from their waists and approached her carefully.

Meng Xiaoshuai said: "What am I doing!"

The policeman didn't speak, so he came over and tied her up, and then said softly: "Stop talking nonsense! Let's go!"

A policeman led her like a livestock, and the commander and another policeman followed behind.

Meng Xiaoshuai followed them and returned to the police station in a daze.

Three policemen escorted her around, but in the end, she was actually locked up in a prison!

After the inspector locked the prison door, he quietly looked at Meng Xiaoshuai and said, "I know who you are."

Meng Xiaoshuai said: "Do you know who I am?"

The commander waved his hand, and the little boy selling cigarettes ran out and stood next to the commander.

The commander said, "He has seen you."

Meng Xiaoshuai said: "I have seen him too! What's wrong?"

The commander of the tour guide said: "When you took people down the mountain to rob, he saw you."

Meng Xiaoshuai widened his eyes: "I'm robbing?"

The commander said, "You are a child scarf."
