Cannon Fodder Strategy

My Unparalleled Hero (19)

Lily's background was different from his own. She was raised by many people and she must have been unwilling to marry him. Will people laugh at her in the future and say that she married an executioner? She was originally the rich daughter of the Marquis, but now she lives in her two broken thatched huts, cooking and washing dishes for herself every day. It can be seen that her hands were not wet with spring water before. Now she has to do this, but she doesn't complain at all. This situation is already very embarrassing. In the future, if she really becomes the executioner, if she goes out and people look at her, can she bear it?

Now he can lock her in the house when he goes out, but Zhang Hongyi can't help but think of the time when she first arrived at his house. She was not as fierce and aggressive as she is now, so he cried and asked him if he wanted to lock her in the house. .

Originally he had good intentions and was just afraid that someone would harm her, but then he thought of what she said: "I feel like I'm in prison."

The words were still ringing in her ears at this moment. She didn't mean it when she said it, but she listened with intention.

She cannot be locked in the room for the rest of her life. She should not be treated like this. Zhang Hongyi clenched his fist and remembered Ye Er's words:

"... Qingyun Wealth Road." He has no ability, but his brute strength is amazing. He has no rivals until he grows up. He is not good at literature. Although he has never learned martial arts formally, he has been fighting since he was a child. He is not good at formal martial arts, but If you fight with someone, you'll get over it. Now that you're young and don't go out to explore, could it be that when you get old in the future, you'll just stay in Yingzhou like this?

Zhang Hongyi had never thought about this in detail before. He was a person who could just muddle along. But now I'm thinking about it seriously. Ye Er said that Deng Zhizhou is famous for his love of provoking talented people. As long as he kills the enemy and makes meritorious deeds, as long as he fights hard for it, one day if he can be promoted based on his military merit, he might be able to The money can help her hire a girl to wait on her.

"Qingyun Fugui Road..." He muttered a few sentences subconsciously. When Ye Er said these words at first, he didn't think about it at all. He stayed at home well. There are lilies again. Naturally, he didn't want to leave her behind, but now he was hesitant. Zhang Hongyi thought about it for a long time and couldn't make up his mind. I just thought about if he left. First of all, I couldn’t bear to part with it. Secondly, I am afraid that she will be bullied because she has no support at home, but let her endure hardships with him, let alone whether she is willing to do so. Zhang Hongyi also felt a little unwilling to give in. After thinking about it for a long time, Lily was woken up by the sound of him turning over, and his voice was still a little hazy:

"What is the road to wealth? Are you dreaming?"

She was half asleep, and her voice was as soft as maltose. Zhang Hongyi subconsciously wanted to grin, but he was afraid that his laughter would really wake her up. He covered his mouth and shook his head. When he realized it, she still closed his mouth. He closed his eyes, unable to see his own movements, and spoke quickly:

"No." She didn't know if she heard it, and fell asleep again.

The moonlight shone into the room, and Zhang Hongyi suddenly reached out and touched the measured straw in his arms. Then he felt relieved and gradually closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When Lily got up in the morning, Zhang Hongyi was no longer in the house. His bed was already cold. He had obviously gone out before dawn. There was bone porridge in the pot. Apparently he had set up firewood before going out, and the wood had not been burned out yet. , the pot was bubbling with heat, Lily endured the cold and poured hot water to wash herself, then washed the dishes and drank two bowls of porridge, and then she put away the dishes.

Zhang Hongyi returned home early on this day. When he came back, he said that he would not work anymore after the New Year and wanted to have a good rest at home. He also said that he wanted to go out to buy some New Year goods in the afternoon.

In the past, he had no energy to celebrate the Chinese New Year alone. He was the only one left in the house, and it was deserted during the Chinese New Year. He usually had his brothers to accompany him. The older brother also had family members to accompany him during the Chinese New Year, and they couldn't drink with him, so he didn't buy it in previous years. New Year's goods, I don't think celebrating the New Year is important. But things are different now. Now that there is an extra person at home, Zhang Hongyi can't help but look forward to it. This is Lily's first time going out after entering the mission, and she is also a little excited. The two have lunch, and Zhang Hongyi goes out with the money he has earned these days. , Lily decided to buy the things she wanted to buy for the New Year first.

Although Yingzhou is a chaotic place, because it is a neighbor of foreigners, you can sometimes see some businessmen from other places entering Yingzhou. It seems that there is not a lot of people flow, and the streets are not bustling, but there are many people coming and going, most of them People even wear the costumes of their respective tribes, which is very easy to recognize.

There are a lot of stalls selling things on the street, including fur and dry goods. However, Zhou Lily’s impression is that the rouge and gouache stalls sold by stalls in the capital are almost impossible to see here.

On the contrary, there are many selling slingshots, daggers, and leather armor. Most of them are sold by foreign merchants, and the handles of some of the daggers are inlaid with unknown gems. The imperial government's control over iron has not reached Yingzhou. It is too chaotic and ordinary county officials cannot control it at all. The folk customs are too tough, and most officials turn a blind eye. If this place doesn't have any weapons to defend itself, I'm afraid there will be a lot of chaos in a day. If the weapons are really forced to be confiscated, I'm afraid it will arouse public resentment.

When Lily went out, she covered her face at Zhang Hongyi's request. Although she was wearing shabby and bloated clothes, she still attracted a lot of people's attention when she walked next to Zhang Hongyi, who was strong and looked scary.

The two went directly to the cloth store. It was just a few days before the Chinese New Year, and Zhang Hongyi wanted to choose some clothes for her. Most of the fabrics sold in the store were blue, black, and gray. Some of the silks were pink and yellow. , rose red color, the color is nice, but the price is also expensive. Zhang Hongyi reached out to touch it. The shopkeeper did not dare to offend him, but he was also afraid that the calluses on his hands would scratch his silk. Oops. He stomped his feet for days:

"Zhang Heizi, don't touch it. If it breaks, who will I sell it to?"

"Who are you selling it to? My wife is here. If she likes it, I will buy it. Are you afraid that it will be damaged by touching it?" Zhang Hongyi frowned, with a fierce look on his face: "What's more, if you touch this thing, That's bad, that designation is fake! I'm going to smash up your shop, so shut up and stay alone!" Zhang Hongyi snorted, and the shopkeeper looked helpless. He was afraid of him, but he didn't dare to be angry. Da Yan huddled in the corner, shook his hands, and snorted: "I don't know! This is silk. Of course it will be damaged if you touch it. Can it be compared to cloth?"

When Zhang Hongyi heard this, he didn't believe it. He carefully stretched out his hand and rubbed it on his clothes twice, and then reached out to touch it. It was smooth. It was indeed not comparable to the coarse cloth on his body. The satin felt soft and smooth. It was smooth and smooth, and when he looked at the ordinary coarse cloth next to it, he was a little disdainful. The color was not good to say, and it was prickly to the touch. He touched Lily's wrist yesterday and saw her exposed calf. The skin was smoother than this satin, and when the coarse cloth was worn on her body, it was probably even thicker than her skin.

What's more, the dark color is indeed not very good-looking. Compared with these brightly colored silks, it is much worse. He hesitated, pointed to the silk and asked:

"How much does this cost per foot?"

"What zhang? This is the one that sells feet. This is something only used by gentlemen and ladies. If you want it, one foot." When the shopkeeper said this, he gritted his teeth and made a gesture: "Thirty-eight cents is the minimum. No more, no less, I would rather not sell it." He was afraid that he would shout too loudly, so Zhang Hongyi got impatient and snatched it away. We all live in the same street, and this black man's reputation in Yingzhou City Who doesn't know? He is just a green-skinned little bastard who does all sorts of shady things with those gangsters. The price is indeed low. Unfortunately, Zhang Hongyi doesn't understand. In his mind, ten yuan for a foot of coarse cloth was already considered high. , this silk actually cost tens of cents per foot. He took a breath and widened his eyes:

"So expensive?"

"It's not expensive anymore! Why don't you buy this kind, and I'll make it cheaper for you." Hearing that he thought it was expensive, the shopkeeper quickly came up to hug the silk, while pointing to the coarse cloth beside him: "I also have green and white ones. The bottom flower is also very beautiful. If you want to buy it, I will give you nine cents and ten cents, and I will also give you some toppings."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he looked at Lily again:

"This is your new wife, right? She's not an official wife, so there's no need to wear such fine clothes. As a woman, it's good to have new clothes..."

As soon as the shopkeeper's words fell, Zhang Hongyi was stabbed in the foot. He almost jumped up. When he heard these words, he felt an unknown anger in his heart. He was even angrier than when he was called a green-skinned gangster before. He pointed at the shopkeeper's nose. Just scolded:

"Say it again! Why can't my wife wear silk? Just put it down for me. I'll move them all away." After he finished speaking, seeing the shopkeeper's face change, Zhang Hongyi sneered and slapped the counter. , said loudly: "If I can't pay, I will pay slowly. If I can't pay for the rest of my life, I will have a son to pay in the future. If my son can't finish paying, my grandson will continue to pay. Why, do you have any objections?"

He was just acting rogue. The shopkeeper's face turned pale and his lips were trembling. Seeing that he was as tall and strong as an ox, he had clenched his fists. He was afraid that if he said something inappropriate, he would punch him. , Who doesn’t know Zhang Hongyi’s strength nearby? I'm afraid that if he doesn't beat him to death, he will have to suffer some hardships. He is alone, and if he does get beaten, he will deserve it at most. He will be sued to the county, and at most the county will sentence him to exile.

But Yingzhou is the base camp for the exiles. Where can they be sent if they are exiled again? He is not afraid of beating him, and it is not painful to sue him. The government does not want to deal with such a scoundrel.

I don’t know what kind of evil wind happened today, but during the Chinese New Year, he actually came to his store to cause trouble. The shopkeeper didn't know what he said that made Tai Sui unhappy. He clasped his hands together bitterly:

"Zhang Heizi, what I say is not pleasant to the ears. Don't care about me. If you take this silk away, won't it make it difficult for me to live? It's the New Year and I have a family to support. In this way, I will give it to you You have a piece of cloth and you choose a color, okay?" (To be continued...)
