Chapter 36 Grab Time

Morning bells and evening drums, work at sunrise and rest at sunset, this is the daily life of ordinary people.

As soon as the bell rang at five o'clock, the last patrol team returned to the camp. A new batch of guards at the city gate had already stood at their posts, and the twelve city gates slowly opened.

Men, women, and old men from nearby villages outside the city waiting to enter the city to sell things have already lined up and waited to enter the city. People began to appear on the streets, mostly breakfast stalls.

The store clerk on the side of the road opened the door with sleepy eyes, looked at the pale sky, and was hesitant to open the door later, but was severely reprimanded by the store owner.

Livestock Street, Tiankou Lane, also known as Human Tooth Lane, is because most of the people here have nothing to do at home, or they can’t open the pot at home to sell themselves, and there are also people who specialize in human trafficking, men, women, young and old, mixed together.

But most of the people here have one characteristic, that is, they are sweet-mouthed and can talk.

Rich families who need servants or maids, or those who lack labor, will come here to visit.

At this time, the clock had just died down, and there were already people gathered in Tiankou Lane, recommending themselves to passers-by.

"My lord, look at me. I'm tall and strong. You can hire me for anything."

"Master, I am literate and can settle accounts!"

"Miss, please do me a favor and buy my daughter!"

"I, I can work, I don't need wages, just take care of food and lodging!"

"I can farm, drive a car, and feed chickens."

"."

Wen Yu's pace was a bit hasty, she couldn't stay in the county government all the time, no matter what reason An Yuheng retreated, but once she left, County Magistrate Xu would definitely take care of things soon, and she had to seize time to leave before the whole city was under martial law .

Take the mules, load the carts, transport the grain, and leave the city.

Wen Yu planned well, and when he passed by Tiankou Lane and heard the phrase "drive a car", Wen Yu suddenly realized that he didn't seem to know how to drive a car.

I don't know what spells can control the actions of livestock.

Failed!
Wen Yu turned around and stepped into Tiankou Lane, dressed as an ordinary girl, with a basket on her back, which contained Xiao Bai who was deeply asleep.

Although it is called an alley, the space inside is quite large enough for two carriages to run side by side. There are all kinds of people standing, squatting, and lying on both sides. Wen Yu glanced over, trying to find the person who just said that he could drive a carriage.

"Girl. Do you want to buy someone?"

A timid voice came from the side below. It was a squatting thin and small boy with yellowish hair and thin cheeks, but there was only a pair of eyes that were still shining.

"I want to find some people who can drive."

After saying this, several men nearby immediately stood up. Wen Yu's body instinctively wanted to draw out the long sword, but she suppressed it.

There were six or seven people who came together, with shabby clothes, rough skin, and dark yellow complexion. They looked like peasants who had been with the loess all year round, and they had fallen into this state for some reason.

"I will drive!"

"I will too. My family used to have a donkey cart, but I am obedient."

"I can too!"

Chirping is no easier than being around a flock of birds. Wen Yu raised her hand, and the debate stopped immediately.

"You, you, and you, you five, come with me."

Wen Yu ordered the strongest one among them, the one who had a donkey at home, the one that looked the cleanest, the one that talked the least, and the little boy who asked her at the beginning.

"Are you going to drive too?"

The little boy was pointed at by Wen Yu, still in a state of excitement, when he heard the question, Xiao Chickie nodded.

"Yes! I will. I will graze cattle and drive carts for the elders in the village."

Wen Yu nodded, "Alright then, follow me."

As the sky was getting brighter, the six of them were quite conspicuous walking on the street, especially a young girl followed by a skinny boy with four Chinese characters.

At the east end of the street, the Sun Family Mule Store was just about to open. Boss Sun was yawning and preparing to call his buddies to feed the fodder. When he saw the big customer who bought five mules yesterday coming straight ahead with a man in a threatening manner, he thought that the other I want to return the goods, so I hurriedly prepare to close the door.

Sure enough, the little girl's family must have known that they spent so much money and brought someone to return the product!

"Don't close the door! I'll pick it up!"

Wen Yu quickly rushed over with the windy footwork under her feet, still wondering what happened to this store, it closed the door when it saw people coming.

Hearing that he was not here to return the goods, Boss Sun smiled, and the hand that closed the door turned to open the door, welcoming, "So it's you, girl, I thought someone was here to pick things up, don't blame me, don't blame me."

Wen Yu didn't have time to argue with him, and said bluntly, "Where are the mules? Five, take them away now."

The guests are so straightforward, the money in Boss Sun's pocket is solid, and he said equally straightforwardly, "Come, I will take you away."

The people brought by Wen Yu naturally knew what they were going to do, so they followed Boss Sun without giving orders, and each came back with a mule after a while, looking at Wen Yu with envy.

A family who can afford five mules at a stretch is a master after all, and he and others should be able to live a good life.

Wen Yu didn't know about this wonderful misunderstanding, so she took the five of them away without saying a word to Boss Sun, leaving Boss Sun leaning against the door and waving constantly.

"Miss Wen will come again when she is free, she must come!"

The next step is to go to the car dealership. At this time, the owner of the car dealership, Lao Li, has not opened the door, but Boss Sun just told Wen Yu that Lao Li has already woken up at this time, so he can shout a few times and report Boss Sun's name.

"Here it comes, it's called the soul!"

Old Li cursed and pushed the door out. Seeing that it was Wen Yu leading the mule, he understood, "Wait a minute, take the mule to the yard for a quarter of an hour at most."

a bit long.

Wen Yu frowned. An Yuheng might have already acted at this time. If the news of the county magistrate's death was discovered, there would be a period of chaos first, and then Yanmen City would be under martial law.

"Can you go any faster?"

"I'm alone, I can't do it any faster!"

"I'm here to help!" The young man who asked the question first stood up and saw that everyone's eyes were on him, rubbing the hem of his clothes with both hands, and his voice was a little nervous, "I learned a little bit when I was driving."

"Okay, you can help me, maybe it will be over in a quarter of an hour."

When the two of them were busy around the mule, Wen Yu was in the mood to ask the four men he bought.

"What's your name? Why did you end up here?"

To Wen Yu's surprise, she only knew that this world was different from the world of comprehension. There were no various monks to maintain order, and all kinds of magical creations were convenient for life.

Without exception, the four people worked for the landlord's family for a year because their fields were embezzled, and their income was not enough for food and clothing, and they had to pay various taxes.

The four of them were originally villagers from nearby villages. Due to various reasons, their wives and children separated, and they came to Tiankou Lane in Yanmen City, and lived by occasionally finding some part-time jobs.

The strongest is Lao Miao, the tallest is Lao Tu, the cleanest is Lao Ma, and the least talkative is Root.

The names are indescribable.

A quarter of an hour later, the boy and Lao Li came out with a smile and told Wen Yu that it was ready.

Five people each drove a mule, Wen Yu sat in the lead, and together with the young boy, rushed towards the next target - the Gujia grain store.

"What's your name?"

"Tang."

After getting closer and observing carefully, Wen Yu realized that this was not a boy, but a girl, whose grade was not much different from Wen Yu's!

Wen Yu was a little embarrassed, and a little pitiful for Ah Tang, and then thought that she was just a fleeing famine, and there was no one who was more pitiful.

It was already bright when we arrived at the Gujia Grain Store, and there was a depressing atmosphere brewing in the air of Yanmen City, as if something was happening.

"The girl came so early."

The clerk in the grain store showed a rare expression of surprise, then put it away, and in a cold manner, took the note, hooked up the account, and asked other clerks to bring the grain that Wen Yu had ordered.

Wen Yu directed the four men to move the food, while she took Ah Tang to Ma Xing Street.

It is estimated that there will be no time to stop for a meal in the next period of time, so I have to buy something to take with me.

When passing by the teahouse, the store door was open, but there were very few customers inside, even the waiters were listless, and the storyteller was not there.

Thinking of the storyteller who had only heard twice and never met formally, but made Wen Yu a little concerned, Wen Yu turned the corner of the street and was about to buy something at the food stall in front, when a crisp wooden sound came Nearby.

"However, there are several groups of bandits in the mountains on both sides of the canyon."

　It can be seen that my name is useless.
