253: C253 Difficult to Enter the City

C253 Difficult to Enter the City

"Do you know why I want to use you?"

Before leaving, Xiao Yun asked.

Third Zhang shook his head.

"I don't know."

Xiao Yun smiled. He pointed at the knife at his waist and said, "Among all the hunters, you are the only one who often wipes this knife. It is not because you cherish it, but because you are used to it. You do not use it to cut anything. You will wipe it seriously."

"Just because...?"

Third Zhang was confused. He did not understand what this meant.

But he did not ask in detail.

Xiao Yun didn't tell him in detail either.

One family, five.

Relatives and friends also came to see them off.

Another family hired a cart to send Second Zhang over.

On one hand, Second Zhang was extremely grateful, but on the other hand, he felt weak in his heart.

He kept muttering to himself that a cripple like him was a burden to his son's future.

He might as well just leave him behind or just let him die.

It was a matter of life and death.

On the one hand, it was because his parents loved his son.

On the other hand, it was indeed meaningless to live.

There was no hope, just living.

Every day when he opened his eyes, he would always see that shabby roof.

He stared blankly at the rising and falling sun outside, looking exactly the same.

He himself did not have much life left to speak of.

The only thing he hoped for was that his son could say that he was a good wife, and his daughters could marry into a good family. If he could see his daughter-in-law's appearance, he would be satisfied for the rest of his life.

He did not dare to hope that the other party could serve him until his death.

Eating, drinking, and sprinkling were all on the bed. He was also annoyed.

He was eager to die, and even begged bitterly.

Third Zhang's two younger sisters could only cry.

His mother sighed and did not express her stance.

Third Zhang also did not say anything.

They changed their identities very quickly.

They knew that from now on, the life and death of the family would be decided by Xiao Yun.

Was this slavery?

Xiao Yun asked himself.

It shouldn't be.

He knew it very well.

The word slave had always been a form of slander.

Everyone had to live.

Anyone who was called a slave would give him enough opportunities to do something that was not even considered a slave. It would even make people gasp in amazement!

This was not a slave. It was just a type of life technique that was accumulated over a long period of time.

Because no matter which world or era it was in, resisting meant certain death.

Xiao Yun walked to Second Zhang's side.

He was actually not old, but he looked like he was in his last years.

"Old man, don't think so much. You still want to die now, and you think that it's a relief, but I can assure you that you won't be willing to die in the future."

"Young master, this is..."

Second Zhang was in fear and trepidation. He wanted Third Zhang to invite Xiao Yun away as soon as possible.

After all, the scent beside him did not smell very good.

If he got annoyed by Xiao Yun, he was afraid that his son's future would be ruined.

Xiao Yun smiled and waved his hand.

"Your son's case money won't be low. These two daughters of yours... When the time comes, you can also learn some skills from your servants, if you don't want to do rough work. Just learn some needlework and the like, and in the end, you will still be able to earn some money. Your wife is still young and strong, able to wash and wash. When the time comes, it won't be for nothing. In this year, at least a hundred or so yuan has been spent. When you have money, let them send you to the theater. From early to late, you like to listen to the show, and you can have a private seat all year round. When the time comes, there will be someone to serve you. It can be considered a master's day. If you don't like it, you'll probably have wine and meat every day. Having enough food and drinks, chatting with others, playing chess, aren't you happy too? Even if he didn't like all of these... It would be good to have someone send him to a brothel to see the scene. Have you smelled the smell in a brothel? It's very fragrant, just like sweet osmanthus flavored honey. "

After saying this, Xiao Yun turned around and left.

He didn't want to give the other party too much pressure.

After Second Zhang heard this, he didn't want to die anymore.

Because he... had never tasted sweet nectar that tasted like osmanthus!

As long as one had a goal and encountered some difficulties, one could always persevere.

What they feared the most was that they would lose hope in their hearts.

The family, a cart, slowly headed towards Beijing.

If this was in his previous life, he would have arrived in less than half a day.

However, in this world, it took him four days.

When Xiao Yun arrived at the city gate, the hunters in Third Zhang's village had already packed up the newly hunted fur and brought the skin grass from last year to sell.

Coincidentally, they bumped into each other at the city gate, and they agreed to enter the city together.

This line of work was considered grand and mighty, and everyone had smiles on their faces.

As long as they exchanged the fur for money, they would be able to live a good year.

Just as they were about to enter the city, a city guard walked up and asked in a clear voice, "What are you doing? Stop, stop!"

Everyone was stunned. The old hunter hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Sir, we are here to sell leather, please let us in."

The city guard frowned and took back his hand.

The look in his eyes changed.

He walked to the truck and looked at it with raised eyebrows. "You didn't take it with you, did you?"

"This... How could this be? Lord Shangguan, we are just ordinary hunters, right? The leather last year had already been teared and cooled down. Now it is tough and soft, these are all good quality leather. We're going to try our luck in the city. "

"No belts?"

The city guard suddenly raised the spear in his hand and stabbed it into the leather!

All the hunters felt their hearts skip a beat.

"What are you doing? "

One! The reckless hunter wanted to use this fellow as his life depended on it.

It was still that old hunter who hurriedly went forward to stop him. He smiled at the city guard and said: "Lord Guan, why don't we open up these leather and let Lord Guan see clearly. We really don't have anything with us."

Lord Guan coldly looked at the crowd and coldly said, "Just open them? Your skins are so thick. Who knows if there's anything hidden inside?"

"This..."

The group of people immediately had no choice.

Don't look down on poking the skin a few times.

If you poke a hole in it, the value of a piece of leather would shrink by several times!

A piece of skin that could originally be sold for money had a slight flaw on it, especially the skin on the back. If there was a hole, it would be worth a hundred wen. If the hole was big, it would be worth a few dozen wen!

The higher the quality of the leather, the more complete it would be. The quality of the leather would be increased by one grade, thus doubling the value.

The flaw would decrease the grade of an item by several grades!

Just like the hole created by the spear, even though the fur of the material was not damaged, after all, it was a hole, even if it was the best craftsman. But if one were to touch it with one's hand... Or when the wind blew, the feeling of being stitched up like a scar... It would be unbearable.

For example, it was like a beauty, everything was good, but there was an additional scar on her face... This was disintegration!

It was an injury that he would never be able to get rid of for the rest of his life.

With this shot just now, among this group of hunters, there would definitely be someone who would not be able to live this year well.

If they stabbed a few more times, last year's hard work would be in vain. In the next year, they would not know how to live.

This world was just like that.

One. A small city gate was enough to cut off the lives of the commoners!

Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes and looked at all of this.

He first looked around.1

He found that there were really a few people in the city who pretended to do something else, but they kept looking at everyone's faces.

These people were very likely to be spies arranged by Zhao Wuji or Young Master Xi!

He could only suppress the anger in his heart.

He took a few steps forward and stood in front of the city guard, grinning.

The city guard did not even notice how Xiao Yun appeared in front of him. His figure was like a ghost.

He was naturally shocked. He took a step back and said vigilantly, "Who are you? What are you doing? "

Xiao Yun smiled and said," Master Guan, don't be impatient. Everyone is just making a living, and it's not easy either. Just like Master Guan, the wind blows and the sun blows every day... Look, your hand is freezing and cracking. "

As he spoke, he naturally grabbed the hand of the city guard and quietly stuffed a large pile of stones into his hand.
