003 Qingyang Town
Uncle Zhang is not from the village, he is a businessman nearby.
It is mainly responsible for purchasing prey and fur from mountain people and selling it to towns, and at the same time bringing in some daily necessities to sell it to mountain people to make profits.
A donkey, a cart, a bow and a few arrows, and a carry-on hunting knife are all his belongings.
This time, in addition to Sun Heng, there were two people in the village who followed him to the town, including Sun Ershu and the mute Liu at the entrance of the village.
Uncle Sun Er said he wanted to sell animal skins to buy something, but Sun Heng knew that he should have the most ideas of giving it to him.
The mute Liu really wants to sell things. He is an old hunter in the village. In the first two months, he hunted an injured tiger, which made the villagers amazed.
The things on the tiger are valuable, and they are definitely worth it.
It takes three days to start from the small mountain village and arrive at the nearby Qingyang Town.
It takes seven days to deal with goods and buy and sell things even if everything goes smoothly.
The next day, they were ready and followed Uncle Zhang who had pulled a truck of goods on the way.
The mountain roads are rugged and difficult to walk, and they stop by and stop until a day later, when they count on the road.
However, going up to the avenue does not mean that they are safe. Although there are no wild beasts attacking here, there are black bandits!
Uncle Zhang said bluntly that if they really encounter Black Mountain bandits, they should not think about resisting and just offer goods directly. Maybe the other party is happy and they can spare their lives.
Sun Heng tightened the hemp rope around his waist and spoke to Uncle Zhang: "Does the court care about this kind of thing?"
"The court?"
Uncle Zhang blinked, as if he was a little unfamiliar with this word: "How can the court take care of it? Lord Wang has only a hundred soldiers, so it's good enough to be able to watch the town."
Sun Heng did not continue to ask questions. He could see that although Uncle Zhang had a wider knowledge than the others in the village, his horizons were also extremely limited.
He didn't even understand what territory he was in, what dynasty he was today, and what was the situation in the town?
Along the way, they encountered no trouble and came to Qingyang Town safely.
The sun rose, and on the distant land, the town was like a giant beast, crawling on the ground, opening its mouth wide, and sucking the crowd.
The wall surrounding the town is more than ten feet high, with a pothole on the surface, and looks weathered.
Above the city gate, there are three extremely complex big characters, which I think should be Qingyang Town.
Sun Heng stood in the distance and looked at it, silently remembering the three complex words, secretly gestured in his mind, deepening his impression.
Literacy is an amazing skill here, and there is no one in their village who can read.
Even Uncle Zhang, who travels to business, only knows how to write his own surname. Even so, he is still very proud.
Zhang, add the three words Qingyang Town, and now I can write four words myself!
Sun Heng smiled with a pursed lips.
This is outside the city, a small market circled by the guardians, for nearby mountain villagers and merchants in the city to trade here.
You need to pay the city fee when entering the city, and you cannot get weapons. There are not so many restrictions here, which not only ensures the safety of the town, but also facilitates transactions among mountain people. However, the two are cheap.
"Brother Wang!"
Zhang Dabo walked over with a young man in a long gray cloth gown and pointed at Sun Heng with a smile: "He is the child I mentioned, clever!"
“How old is it?”
The young man Wang looked up and down at Sun Heng as if he was scrutinizing the goods, and finally nodded with satisfaction.
Although Sun Heng was dressed in short brown, trousers, and had a pale face and thin skin, his skin was clean, his eyes were bright, and his hair was very dry, but he was very meticulous.
Standing with a group of mountain people, it is obvious that the difference can be seen.
"Ten years old!"
Sun Heng answered, bowed his body and handed over his intact wolf skin.
This is a reward, as a thank you introduced by the other party.
"Ten years old?"
Brother Wang frowned: "I'm a little older, I'm just about the age of seven or eight."
"A little older, I understand more."
Uncle Zhang smiled and persuaded: "This kid is smart, obedient, hardworking and hardworking, and will definitely not disappoint the master."
"Um……"
Brother Wang looked at Sun Heng, then looked at the wolf skin, and walked forward and flipped it over. Seeing that the wolf skin was intact and had no gaps, he finally nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, then you can go with me!"
He picked up the wolf skin and clamped it under his ribs. Without waiting for Sun Heng to thank him, he continued to speak: "I will only be responsible for introducing you in advance. Whether you can really get into other people's eyes depends on your own ability."
"I see!"
Sun Heng focused his head heavily, and a smile appeared on his face: "If Brother Wang hadn't spoken, I wouldn't have even this opportunity. Thank you, Brother Wang!"
"Ha ha……"
Brother Wang smiled with satisfaction and reached out to pat Sun Heng's little head: "No, not bad! It's really clever, come with me!"
Sun Heng hurriedly said, "Brother Wang is here, I will say a few words to Uncle Sun, and I will leave now."
After saying that, he turned around and left his own things to Uncle Sun. This was all agreed in advance. If he was not attracted by someone, he would come back to ask for things. If he didn't return for a few days, it means that Sun Heng really settled his home in the town, and these things will be given to Uncle Sun.
Then he picked up a small package of his own and bowed to say goodbye to the few people.
Not many reluctances to leave, Sun Heng said goodbye to his side, followed Brother Wang, and headed towards the city gate of Qingyang Town.
Brother Wang took the eight-character step, wolves sandwiched, and said without looking back: "Do you have a name?"
"have!"
Sun Heng nodded: "Sun Heng, don't you know the surname of Brother Wang?"
"Sun Heng."
Brother Wang nodded and smiled again: "Your surname? You are quite polite in speaking, just like a rich young man. My name is Wang Xiaoliu, and the family is ranked as the sixth one."
Sun Heng hurriedly said, "Then what if I call you Brother Six? Brother Six, I don't know what the situation is about recruiting apprentices in Meishan Pharmaceutical Shop? I rushed up like this without knowing anything, so don't cause any trouble to Brother Six."
"Well, you're so sensible."
Wang Xiaoliu raised his head and smiled, speaking as he walked: "Meishan Pharmaceutical Shop is the largest medicinal shop in Qingyang Town and the best clinic. It is said that Dr. Wu is a famous teacher in the county."
"This time, Meishan Pharmaceutical Shop will recruit six apprentices. As long as you succeed in your studies, you will be a doctor!"
Speaking of this, Wang Xiaoliu couldn't help but be envious: "I had no way back then, so I could only be a restaurant servant, otherwise I would definitely be an apprentice in the pharmacy!"
"The life of Brother Six is also enviable."
Sun Heng smiled and comforted him: "Uncle Zhang said, you are the top leader in purchasing goods in restaurants now, and you are much better than us mountain people."
"What kind of top leader is there! Just running errands around the manager."
Wang Xiaoliu waved his hand, with a modest mouth, but his face was full of pride: "But I have suffered a lot when I can do it today. I came in the same group as me, haha..., it's not as good as me!"
"Sixth brother is amazing!"
Sun Heng's compliment made Wang Xiaoliu laugh again.
"Close the city gate!"
Seeing that the two were about to approach the city gate, a loud roar suddenly came from the town. The sound was so loud that it was like someone was roaring with a loud horn: "Don't leave, thieves!"
"Pull up the city gate!"
Several soldiers at the city gate changed color when they heard the sound and hurriedly began to drive away the crowd and turn the rotary chains.
"Stop them!"
With a low growl, not far from Sun Heng's eyes, several big men suddenly took out sharp blades from their side and pounced on the direction of the city gate.
The man was tall and big, and the sword in his hand was whispering. With a wave of the big sword, he had already brought up a head, and blood spurted on his neck. The headless corpse shook in place and then staggered to the end.
Killed!
