Chapter 261 – Mortal Suffering, Not By Itself
Chapter 261 – Mortal Suffering, Not By Myself
Fengxiang city inside is no traces of famine, there are still guards at the entrance to the city, the city gates there are many people lined up to enter the city, there is no lack of dragging the family.
“The fee for entering the city is two cents, two cents for each person’s head.” The guards were yelling.
The people who entered the city pulled out coins from their pockets and entered the city.
“Give it to them as well.” Song Yin spoke faintly from behind.
“Ah? Senior brother, we’re entering the city normally?” Zhang Feixuan was surprised.
He had thought that Senior Brother would enter the city directly and was about to exterminate those evil demons.
“There is no evil aura from the Soundless Sect, but I found something different I want to see with my own eyes what’s going on.” Song Yin said.
Zhang Feixuan paid accordingly, and a few people entered the city and could see a normal city life.
Pedestrians were walking fast on the streets, there were vendors on both sides yelling there, restaurants were soliciting customers, and at the city gates there were some people pulling chartered carts waiting there.
“Master, master!”
Seeing Zhang Feixuan with such a noble appearance, the person pulling the chartered cart hurriedly ran over and nodded his head, saying, “A ride? We know this Fengxiang City well, we can go anywhere we want.”
Zhang Feixuan subconsciously looked at Song Yin, who nodded slightly.
Zhang Feixuan opened his folded fan and laughed, “We’re new here, we want to learn about the customs here, where can we learn the fastest?”
“Terroir?”
The man pulling the chartered cart froze, looked at them carefully, and then looked at the only little girl among them, “Several masters, is it not too convenient to have female family members?”
“What are you thinking!”
Before the crowd could react, Zhang Feixuan gave them a cross look, “I’m talking about proper customs, proper ones, like restaurants where you can get news and such.”
“This has, this has.”
The man pulling the baggage car laughed, “To be the biggest restaurant in Feng Xiang City, it must be Feng Lai Yi, you see, that highest place in the whole city, is Feng Lai Yi, it’s a recent new construction, in the past, it was the Immortals’ residence there. In the past, it was the residence of the immortals, but the immortals were sympathetic to the mortals, so they turned it into a restaurant for the mortals to eat and drink. Hey, nowadays, we mortals can also go to the residence of the immortals to eat.”
“Alright, let’s go there.”
With a wave of his hand, Zhang Feixuan shook his folding fan and walked towards a chartered car.
“Oh! Ride in the car, ride in the car!” Suzaku clapped her hands and smiled as she chose the best looking one.
Pulling a chartered cart, naturally, there were all chartered carts in Hundred Shou City, which was one of the jobs that people relied on to survive.
Mortals naturally have transportation, but horses belong to the expensive things, the general public can not afford to use, but this car, two wheels and a pocket for people to sit, with a handful of strength on the line.
Even if it is Song Yin, there will be nothing to look down on, with the ability to eat, there is nothing to say.
“Master, you do well, send the car.”
Song Yin also sat on a car, along with the driver a drink, both hands hold the handrail, pulling then go.
“This man, you have no famine here?”
Sitting in the car, Song Yin asked the driver.
“Why no ah .”
The coachman replied casually, “A while ago, there was a riot here, everyone was starving, and the rice and noodles were so expensive that it scared the hell out of people, and the money wasn’t worth anything, and the gold and silver were all over the ground, and no one was picking them up, and everyone was just begging for a mouthful of food.”
“But this situation also did not last long, the immortals came back, the malicious food hoarding guards to finish, everyone has food again, I that regret ah, I would have known that on the ground to pick up the money, that time to pick up the money now use, I do not have to pull the baggage car.”
“Things are better now?” Song Yin narrowed his eyes. “Hey, which is not good, barely alive, there is a meal is a meal, but also have to pay a share of money it, this car before is my, then too hungry, sold the car, the house is also sold. Then there is food, I also want to make a living, so I rented the car again, slept in the big bunk, but this car is still mine before, I have all the marks.”
“Now is pulling the car, every day to put the share of a payment, the big bunk money, the rest of the money to eat a meal is gone, this every day, ah, just want to eat what, all the effort.”
“Master, that Feng Lai Yi is a good place ah, far look at a glance feel worth, but unfortunately I have no chance to eat in this life.”
The driver sighed, suddenly stopped and said, “Master, here it is, five pennies.”
Song Yin stepped out of the car, Zhang Feixuan came over to pay the money, and the several cart pullers consciously went to a corner to rest, checking to see if there were any other customers.
This place, a pagoda shaped palace with a soundless door, just did not expect is that this place can also be sold?
Then the people of the Soundless Sect, had they withdrawn from here?
The plaques on this first floor were all changed, turning into the three big words ”Feng Lai Yi”, and before they could go in, a junior was ushered in at the door, nodding his head and welcoming people in.
“Several gentlemen, inside please. Six of you, elegant seats!”
Several people were welcomed to the upper floors, arriving at a terrace with a view of the outside world, several people had just sat down, and that junior was attentive to serving tea.
“What’s good to eat?” Zhang Feixuan asked.
“Yo, master, this is something to talk about. We have vinegared sliced pork, simmered three fresh vegetables, fried silver wire, fried white shrimp, marinated green clams, and hibiscus swallows.”
Xiao Er’s spirit was shaken, suddenly kneeling downwards, he came to an extremely fast section of reporting the names of the dishes, and then held the tray up to his head, and then did not move.
Zhang Feixuan knew the line, nodded slightly, took out a few copper coins and placed them on that tray, making a tinkling crunch.
“You watch on, the six of us.”
“Thank you master for the reward!”
Xiao Er joyfully stood up, looked at the tray, and yelled, “No. 9 elegant seat of A character, rewarded with six copper coins!!!”
“This,” Song Yin frowned.
“Senior brother, this is common sense, it’s all just something to attract gimmicks and used to add some color to the pot.” Zhang Feixuan laughed.
This was not a strange phenomenon wherever they were.
“Do I need to kneel?” Song Yin asked.
“Eh,” Zhang Feixuan froze, “Probably .”
It wasn’t like kneeling was anything.
“Master, give some reward!”
On the other side, another group of maids also fell to their knees, kneeling down and reaching out to a table of guests, emitting extremely polite and nice sounds.
As they knelt down, a touch of spring color could still be seen on their chests’ wide-open jackets.
That table guest seemed to be a hoity-toity guest, took out a handful of broken silver, and one person stuffed a little bit in his hand.
The maids’ faces were delighted, and they just knelt down and took out their musical instruments, playing and singing away.
Its song is not good, but when playing and singing is to stretch the neck, revealing the white jade-like neck and chest spring light, so that the table guests to see through, listen to the song, also began to charming up.
Song Yin to those who looked dumbfounded, seems to be engrossed in the middle, Zhang Fei xuan see, a slight smile: “Senior brother, may be this is the phoenix come to the instrument’s characteristics, if necessary, we”
The words were not finished, Zhang Feixuan was stunned there.
Because from the eyes of Song Yin, suddenly, shed two lines of tears.
