【The two first met】

The author has something to say: The articles in the [Daze Dynasty] series are ancient.For the specific era background, you can refer to another article by Uncle, but it will not affect reading this article if you don’t read it.It can be regarded as a farming article, but the main content is to open a shop.Uncle really doesn’t know what the scope of farming text is~~~ It’s enough for everyone to understand the meaning!There is a river in Huixiang City, which runs through the entire city from north to south.It is strange that other towns are built on the water, but it straddles the river.In the years long ago, every time the water rose, I didn't know which families were happy and which were sad.

Looking back to the four directions of Xiangcheng City, southeast, northwest, there is nothing to rely on.Although the south side is better, it is just a forest.It is such a flat and abrupt city, which has not been plundered after several wars.

It can be described as strange, but it makes sense when you think about it.Such an abrupt city, so what if it is seized, there is no support, and how many soldiers and horses are wasted, it is better to pluck the feathers and rob it to enrich the food and grass.

But it is such a city that has no mountains and rivers to rely on and has never been guarded by soldiers. It has never been looted for a hundred years.On the contrary, it has become a refuge for refugees from war-torn years.

But why?To find out the source, we have to go back to the ancient times. In the wars just past, there were some unscrupulous overlords who wanted to plunder, but when they led the army to the west gate, their heads were chopped off.

The soldiers at the back never saw who or who didn't get rid of the overlord's head. They only remembered that they finally retreated to their defending city in desperation. In the end, they lost their general and were defeated by the current emperor, that is, the rebel army of that day. .

Speaking of this is a bit mysterious, in fact, there is no protection of gods and demons in Xiangcheng this time, it's just that there are more rangers, it is almost a gathering place for rangers.

About a long time ago, there was such an incident that a city was robbed, and some rangers did something chivalrous because they couldn't see it.Slowly, in the era of publicity of rangers, this habit has been handed down.

It can be described as a game of forces from all sides. In the end, Xiangcheng was expanded several times and no village was born, just a lonely one.Although lonely, he lives and works in peace and contentment, and thousands of years have passed like this.

It is said that it is now the fifth year of the Tianyuan Dynasty of the Daze Dynasty, and the world has just been settled.The Emperor Dongfang Wuming made great efforts to govern and spread business extensively, which made Xiangcheng more prosperous this time. After all, it was located on the main road of transportation from south to north, east to west, not to mention that it had not been affected by the war.

It's the hottest month of August, and Huixiang City, located in Ezhou in the south, can't beat the scorching heat even after it has just rained.

At noon, on the shaded path of the woods in the south, a man in short linen clothes, wearing a bamboo hat, and carrying a sheathed sheath on his back at noon came. A long sword and a package hung on it.

Dressed like this, you don't need to think about it to know that this person is a ranger.It doesn't mean that the one with the sword on his back must be a ranger, but that this kind of casually dressed and lazy person can't be other identities.Ordinary businessmen don't know how to carry swords, and disciples of famous schools don't know how to be so rough.

Of course, there are rangers who don't carry weapons so obviously, but they are also a minority. After all, the status of ranger was deeply loved by the people in the war-torn years.Although the world has been settled now, the glory of the ranger has not faded, so the weapon that can better demonstrate his ranger status is also the first choice.

It wasn't too far to enter the city gate, but we heard the sound of sobbing in the woods.Although the ranger was dressed indifferently, he was still a ranger. How could he ignore such a tempting and bullying thing, so he turned and walked into the woods without hesitation.

But I saw a boy dressed as a servant kneeling and weeping in front of a small mound, on which was written the tomb of Ah Huang.

Why do you say it's a small mound but not a tomb? It's just because it's so small that the little one thinks a baby is buried in it.But even a baby who died young shouldn't be buried so hastily, and this crying teenager is still a child, and he will never be a father.

As for what it is, many possibilities have turned in the ranger's mind, but what is not certain is that he has encountered tedious housework at this time.Uh, what rangers are most afraid of is people who come to their door because of housework. It is difficult for honest officials to resolve housework. How can they, who put loyalty first, deal with it.

But he didn't go away either. After all, the child was crying a little bit, and he still had some compassion. At least go back to the city with the child.Rangers are just swimming around, there is no rush to catch up with the process.

It's just that he underestimated this young man's ability too much. The young man actually kept crying that the sun went down and he didn't seem to want to listen.Although he was not afraid of the curfew thanks to his kung fu, the child in front of him couldn't make him cry any longer.

"Hey, kid. Are you done crying? It's time to go home and find your parents!" So the next thing made You regret it even more, because the boy cried even harder.

"Wow, wow, wow..." There was no sound just now, but now they howled out, but it looked like a funeral.

"Damn it!" You Xia is also a chivalrous man, although he has always been vulgar, he is not used to swearing, but this time he failed. "I said whether you will go back or not. If you don't, I will leave first. I heard that there are many dead souls outside Huixiang City, and they will come out at night..."

"Who cares, I just cried for a while. If you hadn't stood here, I would have finished crying and gone back."

"Yo, it's pretty fierce. But I'm afraid I've gone to see Lord Yan a long time ago. You really want to be my father."

"Hmph! Help me..." But it turned out that he had knelt down for too long and couldn't stand up.

He didn't say anything more, and entered the city gate after walking for a long time.As for the security guards in Huixiang City, all rangers know about it, that's fine.So when he entered the city, he planned to separate from the child, but the child stopped him.

"Go back to Xianglou early tomorrow, and I'll treat you to the Huixiang pot." After speaking, I was a little embarrassed and ran away with a blushing face.

The ranger shook his head, feeling that this kid is quite interesting.Tomorrow, I must go to Huixiang Tower to taste the fragrant pot and drink the fragrant wine, and I don't need the child to invite me.

It's just that I have to find an inn first, and I don't know how many days I can stay in Xiangcheng this time.Since the establishment of the Daze Dynasty, the days of their knight-errants have been worsening day by day. It's not that they are looking forward to chaos in the world, but it's just that sooner or later they will have no money to spend.But he has learned to save money.

But if it's not easy to do, it doesn't mean it can't be done. As long as he does it well, more people will come to him.As for this time, there is a special place in Xiangcheng, Bafanglou, where people who need to do inconvenient things come here to find people. Of course, they must prepare silver to welcome them, and of course gold is also fine; I came here to find a living, took a deposit to do things, and returned with the rest of the money after the work was done.

Naturally, this Bafang Building will also have some commission, but it is only one or two out of ten.When some people come to entrust work, they will specify which person to do it. After all, the ranger team is also mixed, so each ranger has a code name here.

It is also somewhat similar to the practice in brothels, but the things bought and sold are different.

This ranger also has his own number plate in the Bafang Building, which is called Yizhang Piaohong.

Some rangers will have a secret connection with Bafanglou, so that once there is a business, they can know as soon as possible and seize the opportunity.However, more rangers still disdain this, and instead use Bafanglou to find business after returning to Xiangcheng.

Of course, the most important thing is that the shopkeeper of Bafanglou is unwilling to do that. It was originally just a teahouse, but then he thought about doing this when the business couldn't continue.He doesn't sell secrets. Who knows that he leaked the traces of a ranger that day and was found by the enemy, and then he was found by the ranger, so he couldn't eat and walked away.

As for the guys who reached an agreement with those rangers, the shopkeeper didn't bother to care about them. Anyway, the rangers who did such things were not powerful people, so they turned a blind eye.

Yizhang Piaohong found a similar inn and stayed there. After eating and taking a bath, he went to the Bafang Building, which was not resting all day long, and showed his token, and hung up Yizhang Piaohong's number plate .

Not too famous, but not without reputation.So Yizhang Piaohong put up the sign first, it would be better if someone looks for it specially, so you can earn a little more, if no one looks for it, we can wait a few days to talk about it, it's not in a hurry.

There was nothing to say all night, and at the end of the second day, he slowly went back to Xianglou.Because I heard that there will be a lot of people queuing up in Huixiang Building every morning, he doesn't have to eat the Huixiang pot and the Xiangxiang brew, so he comes later.

It's just that I never thought that today's visit to Xianglou is a little different.There is only Huixiangniang, but when he arrived, he had already sold out today's portion.The reason is that the shopkeeper's pet dog died, and the shopkeeper went home to observe his filial piety.After hearing this, Zhang Piaohong was stunned for a while, feeling that this shopkeeper is really a man of temperament.

He said this to Xiaoer, and then he heard a familiar voice: "Humph!"

Fluttering red and turning his head,
