Chapter 871

Chapter 873

During the Qingming Festival, it rained heavily, and pedestrians on the road wanted to die.

This year, there is no rain during Qingming Festival, but the people of Chang'an City have lost their souls.

Early in the morning, when it was just dawn, the medicine seller Pisan went out with a piece of yellow paper in his sleeves on crutches.

When the Rong tribe came over, he was recruited by the imperial court to defend the city and do some drudgery of carrying stones and arrows. The Rong tribe outside the city was recruiting the civilians, and the same thing was being done inside the city. Every household has a place assigned to it.

Large families can naturally use money to buy people from poor families, and the descendants of poor families can also provide people for rich families, so as to exchange a sum of money for their families to clothe and eat. If you are able to do things well in the city, you are favored by Shangguan, and you are promoted to serve in the army. For ordinary people, it may not be a way out.

Not long after Pisan, a medicine seller, went to the city, he broke his leg and had to walk with a cane ever since. There should have been a pension, but it was exploited layer by layer, and finally it was in Pi San's hands, which was almost the same as none.

Nowadays, the price of rice in Chang'an City is more expensive than gold, and it is difficult for ordinary people to live, not to mention Pi San broke his leg. He used to sell some rat poison and Dali Pills to get by, but life became more and more difficult after breaking his leg. But the snake has the snake's way, the rat has the rat's way, and even survived by relying on the skill of the chicken thief who was deceived.

Not far away, he came to a grave mound, clicked on the yellow paper, and sorted out the dead grass in front of the grave.

"Brother, are you worshipping your ancestors today?"

Before he could do it in front of the grave for a while, a man in brocade came over. Pi San glanced at him and lowered his head again.

"no."

The brocade-clothed man was stunned for a while, and said, "Is that a friend?"

"No." Pi San didn't raise his head: "I'm not familiar with the graves."

"Uh..." The man in Jinyi was completely speechless. He didn't ask, and he didn't ask. Finally, he said, "What's your name, brother?"

"Pi San, a medicine seller." Pi San showed the cloth pocket on his body: "Snake, insect and rat poison, bruises, longevity medicine for longevity, fertility medicine for not giving birth, and nourishing nourishment. The aphrodisiac medicine in your body, I think your complexion is a little empty, do you want some aphrodisiac medicine?"

Li Letian coughed violently: "No, no, my body... can still hold it."

"The high officials also came to visit the grave?" Pi San asked.

"Forget it." Li Letian sighed and said, "I don't need the medicine. Big brother will chat with me for a while."

As he said that, he reached into his arms and subconsciously wanted to take out the money, but found that he had nothing on him. When today, Xingzhi is wandering in the city, how can he bring gold and silver.

Pi looked at him with three eyes, but Li Letian couldn't raise his hand. He took a bead from his belt and said, "Brother, buy some wine to eat."

"I can't buy any wine either." Pi San said: "I heard your tone is very strong, I thought you were going to give me the jade pendant."

Li Letian looked at the jade pendant hanging from his waist, and gritted his teeth in his heart. Poor mountains and bad waters make troublesome people...

"It's a family tradition, it's a joke for my brother." Li Letian smiled, sitting cross-legged on the grass, and said, "How many children does my brother have?"

"Three boys, two daughters?"

"The more sons, the more blessings, my brother is very lucky."

"All dead."

"Uh..." Li Letian was speechless again.

"I starved to death as soon as I was born, and sold it to a big family to be a maid. Later, I didn't know what happened and jumped into the well."

"Should you pay some money?"

"The eldest son came to the door and was beaten. He said that my daughter stole something from others, so it would be good if he didn't ask me to lose money. The eldest son was raised at home for three months, but he didn't save his life, and finally went."

Li Letian really had nothing to say until now, and there was no smile on his face.

"Brother hasn't told me who is buried in the grave?"

"Actually, I'm not familiar with her either. She used to be a brothel singer. It is said that she is still very famous. Many dignitaries and nobles attended. But the fireworks girl, fortune and misfortune could not help but provoke someone, and finally became a half-door prostitute. Later I met her. A former guest, who probably has no face to meet others, has found a shortcoming on his own."

Speaking of this, Pi San's words gradually increased, saying: "The guest is not bad. He gave me a sum of money and asked me to bury the person. It is said that he also did some other things, but I don't know."

"It's a righteous man." Li Letian nodded.

"Unfortunately, I don't know the name of the master. He looks very vicious, but he is a good person at heart. People, you really can't look at it. There are some little white faces with thin skin and tender flesh, but they are very stingy in their bones."

Li Letian touched his nose and thought to himself, "Are the people of Chang'an so bad at their mouths?"

"Why is my brother's leg lame?" Li Letian.

"There was a list on the top, asking me to go to the city to move stones, so my leg was lame."

"It was actually wounded for guarding Chang'an City, and my brother is also a righteous man."

Pi San shook his head: "I'm not, I broke this leg on purpose?"

Li Letian was stunned again: "If you have a good body, why do you want to..."

"Oh, you don't understand." Pi San sighed: "If I hurt my leg, I don't need to go to the city wall. There are ten people who went to the city with me, and now I am the only one alive. This high official People, do you say that one leg is more important, or is life more important?"

Li Letian was silent for a while: "Brother is right, but he is confused."

"Did you want to ask me just now, why do you burn paper for someone who is not a relative but not an ancestor?" Pi San looked at the mound in front of him, and said slowly: "Actually, I was thinking of the original guest, and thinking of that guest, I just I feel that there are still people in the world who miss us and are willing to do something for us. Every time I see this grave, I feel more at ease.”

At this moment, Li Letian was no longer speechless, but completely ashamed. The empire is very big, and this empire belongs to the Li family. People like Pi San are all the people of the Li family. After all, the Li family is somewhat incompetent.

As the masters of the empire, did the Li family have accumulated more virtues or made more sins?

Li Letian stood up, holding his fists in both hands and said, "Thank you for teaching me today, I have been taught."

"Would you like to give me the jade pendant?"

"Uh..." Li Letian smiled, stretched out his hand and took off the jade pendant, and said, "The last question, according to my brother, can Chang'an City be defended?"

Pi San took the jade pendant, took a serious look at the quality, and finally mumbled.

"It's not very easy to take action in a world where there is chaos and chaos."

Raising his head, he saw that Li Letian was still looking at him, looking forward to the answer to the question.

He put away the jade pendant and said, "If you want to keep it, you can keep it. If you don't want to keep it, you can't keep it at any time. As for whether you want to keep it or not, it depends on your majesty's heart."

Li Letian frowned and pondered what Pi San said. When he heard the last sentence, he was suddenly startled and looked at Pi San with wide eyes.

But he saw Pi San leaning on a cane and limping away.
