Volume 40 Chapter 24

Golden Crow City is on the edge of Yanghe County, Youzhou, and the distance from Baohu City is less than a thousand kilometers. For ordinary people, the distance from Golden Crow City to Baohu City may be a bit long, whether it is by train or airship , it will take a long time, but for a knight, especially for a land knight like Zhang Tie, flying a distance of 1,000 kilometers is like visiting a vegetable market away from home , even if he doesn't use the ability of God Yuzhu, he can easily fly to Baohu City in less than an hour.

After the New Year, after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, there has been no snowfall in Youzhou, but the weather in Youzhou is still cold, especially in the past few days, when the snow has just melted, the chill in the air is even worse.

Flying in the sky, the mountains, rivers and land under his feet were vast and white. In a short time, just before two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Tie flew over Baohu City, and landed directly on a group of pedestrians near the port in Baohu City like lightning. Within the alleys of sparsely populated areas.

Falling into the alley, Zhang Tie turned up the snowproof hood of his cloak, put it on his head, and hung the buckle, covering most of his face at once, with only a small part of his eyebrows and eyes exposed. Now, besides feeling that Zhang Tie should be young, it is also impossible to know whose face behind the hood is.

With Zhang Tie's current reputation in Youzhou, especially in Baohu City, only in this way will he not be recognized as soon as he walks on the street.

These days, Zhang Tie is at home with his family every day. Although he also gets some news from the outside world, these news are always obtained indirectly and are not intuitive enough. It just so happened that Zhang Tie wanted to see it when he came to Baohu City this time. How is the atmosphere in Baohu City? Since he is a knight and he is in Taixia, if he doesn't plan to completely hide in the Black Iron Fort to isolate himself from the world, then he has to pay more attention to some things. Zhang Tie, who was born as a small person in the market, knows better that some things and the truth can only be seen more clearly and concretely in the market.

There was still a thin layer of snow on the ground of the alley. Zhang Tie walked out of the alley and walked on the street outside by stepping on the snow.

This alley is relatively quiet, but the street outside the alley is quite lively.

When Zhang Tie just walked to the entrance of the alley, just over ten meters in front of him, the door of a family living in the alley opened with a squeak, and several people came out. The people on the other side are leaving.

"Second brother, I'll leave Deming to you. When my mother and I are away, you can discipline yourself as you please, beat him when you need to, don't spoil him, you can call him any dirty work in the restaurant Do!"

The one who wanted to leave was a middle-aged couple dressed in plain clothes. It looked like they were from the countryside outside the city. Although the couple who celebrated the Chinese New Year wore clean clothes, ordinary people could tell at a glance that he was a What are you doing? It's that man who is talking, with an honest look.

"Brother, don't worry, Deming is with me. I treat him like my own son. As long as we have a bite to eat, he won't be hungry!" The one who sent him out was also a couple, but they were a little younger. The face shape of the one who spoke is somewhat similar to the one who spoke just now, and people can tell that they are brothers at a glance. "I will gradually teach Deming to familiarize himself with the things in the restaurant, and he can also be a shopkeeper in the future!"

"With your words, I feel relieved!"

"We are all a family. Why are you and your sister-in-law being polite to us at this time? Deming, come here and say goodbye to your parents. In Baohu City, you will only see your parents again in a few months... ..."

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy with red eyes came out, kowtowed to the couple while kneeling on the snow at the door,

"Parents, don't worry, when I learn my skills from my second uncle and save enough money, I will buy a house in the city and bring you here..."

When Zhang Tie walked over, the people who were saying goodbye all turned their heads to look at Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie walked calmly and did not stop. Just walked past this group of people who were saying goodbye, and came to the bustling street outside.

Although the weather is cold, in Baohu City, after the new year, the streets are already lively. After the third day of junior high school, the shops on the street will open one after another. The picture of auspiciousness is also opened, and it has not been opened until the 15th Lantern Festival, which is already very small, indicating that the store owner may be out of state and has not come back yet.

On the main street of Baohu City, there are still some traces of the Lantern Festival three days ago. In front of each shop, exquisite lanterns are hung, and some lanterns are still hanging on the branches of the roadside.

Zhang Tie strolled, and he was not the only one wearing the same snow-proof hood on the street. Baohu City is close to the sea, and the sea breeze is colder in winter. Apply fish oil, otherwise, if the wind blows, there will be slits on the face in two days. In Baohu City, there are quite a few people dressed like Zhang Tie. Does Zhang Tie dress up, except for a little bit of exquisiteness? Besides, there was nothing special about him, so no one paid much attention to him. There were also some people on the street whose hands and faces were smeared with oil. They were probably people who lived on the pier or on a boat.

"Brother, let me call a car to take you off!"

"No need, we have been to Baohu City many times, and the roads are very familiar. When your sister-in-law and I came here, we had already made an appointment with Li Dazhuang, who came to Baohu City from Jingou Tun to deliver food. We are in Ximen Where are you waiting for him, just take his car back, you don't have to send it, go back..."

The street outside the alley happened to run east-west. Zhang Tie came to the street outside, and without hesitation, he turned directly to the west, walking at a leisurely pace.

The voice in the alley was still heard in his ears, and Zhang Tie knew without turning his head that the couple from the countryside had already declined the send-off, but the sender still sent them to the entrance of the alley, and the people on both sides said a few words After talking, they separated, and the couple from the countryside walked thirty meters behind Zhang Tie, while the sender returned home and closed the door.

After walking behind Zhang Tie for a while, seeing that they were far away from the entrance of the alley, the woman among the older couple who had been silent just now suddenly said something.

"My sister-in-law didn't speak just now, I'm a little worried..."

The man was silent for a while, and then nodded affirmatively, "Don't worry, the second child is a man of his own mind, and he can be the master in his family. When the second child came to develop Hucheng, it was a few brothers in the family who gave him the responsibility." For this small restaurant he collected money from, he sold more than ten acres of land and a few cows I raised. You have seen it over the years. The second child is not the kind of person who forgets his roots. He has been helping all these years What's more, he still watched Deming grow up, he is Deming's uncle no matter what, and he won't treat Deming badly!"

"That being said, I'm still a little worried. After all, letting Deming come to Hucheng this time is not just a matter of staying for three to five months. After a long time, it's inevitable that the second brother's family will have some thoughts..."

"Hey, isn't this something that can't be helped!" The honest man sighed, "Those who have connections and capabilities in our village have rushed to send their children to the city in the past two days. Several people heard that they were sent directly to Youzhou City and entered a school. Lao Cao sent his youngest son to Jinguang City as an apprentice. In the sawmill, this is always safer in the city than in the country. A few years ago, it was okay and safe in the country, but now it is dangerous to live in the country. I heard that those states where blood men came , hundreds of villages, just outside the city, were fine on the first day, but after one night they were killed by the blood man, not a single person was left alive, and many people became the rations of the blood man The three to five-meter-high guardrails and walls outside the village can only defend against ordinary beasts and ordinary thieves. The blood man has arrived in Youzhou a few days ago, and I heard that many people died, we have to find a way for Deming..."

"I'm worried about Deming..."

"The world is in chaos all of a sudden. It doesn't matter if Deming suffers a little bit. As long as he saves his life, everything will be fine. By the way, what about the set of emerald ornaments you kept at home, wait for the next opportunity to hug the tiger When you are in the city, you take it with you, and you quietly send it to your sister-in-law, don’t let the second child know, this is a matter for your women, I don’t need to teach you.”

"Ah, that's what I left for Dehua to marry a wife in the future. No matter what happens to our family, if we want to marry a daughter-in-law into the door, we must have two pieces of decent jewelry!" The woman looked a little surprised, but also a little bit reluctant.

"Dehua is in the army now, so I don't need it for the time being. Let's take care of Deming's affairs first! As long as the two brothers can live well, they are better than anything else! It's a big deal. I'll find another chance when spring comes. Go to the mountains to see if you can try your luck and find some wild ginseng..."

"I listen to you..." The woman was silent for a moment, then nodded...

Zhang Tie knows that gathering ginseng in a place like Youzhou is very dangerous, especially for fighters who have already reached the ninth level, because in the mountains where wild ginseng can grow, there must be many kinds of monsters and beasts. Such a place is extremely dangerous, and there are many people who never return.

Poor parents all over the world!

Zhang Tie let out a long sigh in his heart. He never thought that even in Baohu City, Youzhou, which is far away from the blood man's chaos, Taixia's blood man's chaos would have such a huge impact on the surrounding area of ​​Baohu City. People living outside the city began to try their best to get their family members into the city to seek a safe shelter.

Taking a closer look at the flow of people on the street, it seems that there are really more people than when I came here the last two times.

Youzhou is like this, so in the cities of other states, there are more people who want to squeeze into the city. Although there are many cities in Taixia, the proportion of people living outside the city is more, almost accounting for Taixia. Seventy to eighty percent of Xia's population, bloody people rioting, everywhere is buzzing, everyone rushes into the city, I'm afraid some places have already caused troubles.

Just when Zhang Tie was frowned slightly thinking about something, there was a voice of cursing from the inn in front, "You madman, what kind of alchemist are you pretending to be, how can you be a poor alchemist in Taixia, who has no money?" What kind of inn are you staying in, get out of here..."

As soon as the voice fell, a figure was thrown out of the door together with a bedding.
