Chapter 20 Opened
Zhang Jiuyan's father was extremely proud on the side, lifting his face high, just like everyone was praising him.
Zhang Jiuyan laughed at everyone a few times, said humbly, and finally said, "It's getting late. I'm going to take a rickshaw, so I'll leave first. You guys are busy."
Put the cloth bag on the rickshaw, pull up the rickshaw, and Zhang Jiuyan is about to set off.
"Jiuyan, come back early, Dad will wait for you at home."
Zhang Jiuyan's father looked full of expectations. Of course, he hoped more to know earlier whether the rickshaw could make money.
"knew."
Zhang Jiuyan agreed without looking back and left.
Zhangjia Village is about twenty miles away from the county town. When Zhang Jiuyan first came, he thought it was very far away.
But when I went to my sister's house that day, I didn't feel that it was far away after walking. It was only more than an hour or two, and I arrived.
And unexpectedly, Zhang Jiuyan didn't feel very tired.
Not only that, this time Zhang Jiuyan took a rickshaw to the county town, and he also met five or six people carrying loads and doing small business in the county town on the way.
Their burden is at least one or two hundred kilograms, but they feel sparse and ordinary when they carry it on their shoulders. It takes five or six miles to take a rest.
Zhang Jiuyan himself doesn't feel tired either.
I have to say that this is a very magical thing, because the ancients ate not many nutritious things and had very little meat and fish, but they gave people a lot of strength and sufficient physical strength.
On the contrary, people in later generations ate well, dressed well, and lived well, but they had no strength. They would breathe in their breath after walking for thirty or forty minutes, let alone carry loads.
After walking about seven or eight miles, Zhang Jiuyan found that the vendors carrying the load in front of him suddenly stopped, and then took a few steps in the same way, and finally accelerated his pace and left.
Zhang Jiuyan was curious. When he got closer, Zhang Jiuyan realized that there was a person lying on the ground on the way. He looked like that, he was obviously dead.
Zhang Jiuyan was shocked and was so scared that he took a few steps back, his face turning pale.
It’s not that Zhang Jiuyan is timid. Anyone who suddenly encounters a corpse will be scared, not to mention that it’s early in the morning and is not mentally prepared at all.
When Zhang Jiuyan reacted from the shock, he couldn't help but go up and take a few more glances.
This is also Zhang Jiuyan's purpose of training courage.
If you don’t even dare to face a dead person, how can you face the chaos in the world in the future?
How to survive then?
At first glance, the deceased was about 35 or 36. The man was thin and his clothes were torn and ragged, without any external injuries, and he was obviously starved to death.
Zhang Jiuyan probably died last night.
Because the weather is hot now, if you die for several days, it will smell.
Zhang Jiuyan couldn't help but look at the deceased again, seeing the deceased's hair loose, his eyes deep, his face was covered with flesh, a wooden stick in his hand, and a rag bag hanging on his body, which was empty inside.
This image is the same as the image of a refugee in Zhang Jiuyan's body memory.
Zhang Jiuyan doesn’t know what to do now?
Should I leave it or bury him and give him a last bit of decency so that I can avoid being eaten by wild dogs and jackals.
Bury him, if he is not a refugee, he will only be afraid of getting involved in a lawsuit.
When Zhang Jiuyan thought that he might get involved in a lawsuit, he pulled up a rickshaw and left.
If you get involved, don’t get involved in the government. This is a common consensus among the people. It can be said that Zhang Jiuyan pulled up the rickshaw and left, which is the instinctive reaction of the body.
But Zhang Jiuyan took more than ten steps, but stopped again and couldn't help looking back.
In the end, Zhang Jiuyan came back, dragged the deceased aside, dug a hole and buried it.
"Hey, I hope you can have a good life in your next life. Don't worry when you are reincarnated. It's hundreds of years later. At that time, people didn't dare to eat fish and meat. They were afraid of gaining weight, high blood pressure, and high blood sugar. That was the life that people live."
After burying the dead, Zhang Jiuyan said something, and finally washed his hands with the water inside the water bag and left.
At the end of Chen, it was almost nine o'clock in the morning when Zhang Jiuyan arrived in the county town.
Because Zhang Jiuyan pulled a rickshaw into the city, the rickshaw was considered a person, and the minor official who was looking at the city gate also charged a penny of entry to the city.
Zhang Jiuyan didn't say anything, but gave it to him.
As soon as they entered the city, many people found the rickshaws that Zhang Jiuyan had pulled, and they all surrounded them and looked strange.
"Yeah, what kind of car is this? Why have you never seen it before?"
"Yes, a chicken bus is not like a chicken bus, and a board car is not like a board car. What is this for?"
Everyone was talking a lot, and their eyes were full of strangeness.
Zhang Jiuyan explained to everyone: "Dear fellow villagers, this is a rickshaw, which is used to attract customers. If any customer is unwilling to walk, I can use a rickshaw to pull you there."
As soon as Zhang Jiuyan said it, everyone understood that it was used to pull people, and it was the same as a carriage.
But looking at this, it must be much cheaper than a carriage. A curious person asked about it and asked how Zhang Jiuyan's price was calculated.
Zhang Jiuyan replied: "It depends on where you go. The road is far away, the road is cheaper, and the road is close, and it is not expensive. It usually costs only three or four cents per trip. If you give me seven or eight cents, you can go wherever you say you go."
When everyone heard this, it was indeed not expensive. Unlike the carriage, which started at least 100 cents. If it left the county town, it would be calculated by two.
However, even if it is not expensive, no one is willing to spend this money. Everyone has a strange look and it has dispersed.
It is not surprising that Zhang Jiuyan is like this. After all, they are all ordinary people. If you expect to make money, it is not much more difficult than plucking a feather from an iron rooster.
Soon, Zhang Jiuyan arrived at the restaurant and waited for the guests.
This is Zhang Jiuyan’s preferred location, and there is nothing more suitable than this place.
Those who can come here are all people with a wealthy fortune, and no one cares about the few pennies.
The restaurant is called "Feihuang Da Restaurant". As the name suggests, it is naturally hope to make a fortune.
Zhang Jiuyan was waiting for the customer next to him. The waiter started to come out and saw that it was strange and asked Zhang Jiuyan about the purpose of here.
Because Zhang Jiuyan used a rickshaw to attract customers, he could serve the guests of the restaurant, and the waiter did not drive him away and even joked with Zhang Jiuyan.
They are all ordinary people, and they usually don’t make things too difficult for each other.
Soon, a guest who was dressed up by a foreigner and had a mouth full of greasy food came out of the restaurant.
Now it’s time to have breakfast, and most of the ancients also knew some common sense about health preservation. Generally, this meal will not be too oily in the morning.
This customer must have eaten small buns, which are oily and fishy, but they are nothing compared to big fish and meat.
Zhang Jiuyan smiled and went up to greet him, "Customer, where are you going? Should you take my rickshaw? The price is not expensive and the journey is fast, so you can arrive in one go, so as not to take time to walk."
