"Boss, many brothers are seriously injured." The fleeing robbers were also worried about their injured brothers.
The bandit leader, the thin man looked back, those brothers moaning in pain, pale faces, even though they were licking blood from the knife edge as a bandit, but seeing this scene, he still felt uncomfortable, and couldn't help but groaned angrily: "Head off!" It's just a big scar, so howl and howl, bear with it!"
The injured robbers looked at the leader and held back one by one.
"Well, this is my Sun Yang's brother!" The thin man said immediately, "Don't worry, brothers, I'll go to Danyang City right away, ask a good doctor, and buy more medicinal materials." Although there are some in the robber's den People who know a little about medicinal materials, but this time many people were injured too seriously, and it was not a simple flesh injury.
"Leader, be careful on the road." Many robbers said in unison.
"rest assured."
The thin man 'Sun Yang' immediately took some silver, rode on a camel beast, and carried a machete on his back, and hurried towards Danyang city.
*****
Dan Yangcheng has already appeared in the field of vision of Teng Qingshan and the three of them.
"It is indeed one of the thirty-six main cities of the Duanmu Continent." Teng Qingshan couldn't help praising the mighty ancient city wall stretching east and west. A prehistoric monster in a deep sleep.
"Compared with the county city." Li Jun also praised.
Teng Qingshan smiled: "Didn't Xiaoping say that? In the past, the god of heaven 'Da Yu' taught the residents of the mainland to practice kung fu, unified writing, language, money, etc., the people taught by Emperor Yu, the city built, and ours. That's pretty much the same, not surprising." Since saving the little slave girl 'Xiao Ping' on the island.
Through Xiaoping and the books, Teng Qingshan knew many things.
On the Duanmu Continent, there have been two gods in history.
In the books of the Duanmu Continent, the God of Heaven, 'Da Yu', is a character in ancient times. He understood the world, created the method of cultivation, and passed it on to all peoples. He is an extremely remarkable figure!
"No wonder, it's the same as our Kyushu language." Teng Qingshan thought to himself, "It's just that the characters are different."
"However, they are all hieroglyphs!"
Teng Qingshan is very clear.
In the history of the previous life, with the passage of time, the characters are constantly changing, changing step by step from the oracle bone inscriptions, although the origin of the land of Kyushu and the continent of Duanmu are the same, Emperor Yu unified the characters and passed the characters of Kyushu to Duanmu The people of the mainland.
But thousands of years have passed.
In addition, there was no paper at all at that time, only stones and iron sheets and other items were recorded. As generations went on, the characters in the land of Kyushu and the land of Duanmu naturally became farther and farther away, making it difficult to recognize them.
"However, it is much easier to learn. After all, they are all pictographs. It is estimated that in ten and a half months, you will be able to recognize most of the commonly used characters." The scene of Ping learning the characters of Duanmu mainland.
In terms of literacy, Xiaoping is a teacher!
"Xiaoping." Teng Qingshan said.
"Uncle." Xiaoping stared at Teng Qingshan with her big clear eyes.
She was originally a nine-year-old girl, but she was as emaciated as a six- or seven-year-old child because of all the hardships and poor food.
"Xiaoping, you and I have a lot of things to do, and there will probably be a lot of twists and turns! Otherwise, your lady and I will buy a house for you in Danyang City, and then go to Nufang City to buy a house for you. How about two obedient slaves listening to you?" Teng Qingshan asked.
"No, I don't want it." Xiaoping said repeatedly.
"Uncle, Miss Sister." Xiaoping said with tears streaming down her face, "I am a child in the city, even if I have a house, I will be snatched away, and... my face, my face..."
"Your face?" Teng Qingshan and Li Jun were taken aback.
Xiaoping bit her lip and stroked the ugly scar on her face: "I am a female slave! So, my face was stamped with the mark of a slave. Heitiehe Liu's family moved to the island because there were not enough women. Therefore, men from the Heitiehe Liu family will marry us in the future and have more children, so the marks on the faces of us female slaves will be scratched off by knives! The marks will become scars."
Teng Qingshan and Li Jun were stunned.
"Slaves are not allowed to enter the city alone, nor are they allowed to leave the city without permission!" Xiaoping continued, "If a slave is alone, even on the road, others have the right to catch him, even if he kills him, it's fine."
"Like me, the imprint falls off and becomes a scar."
"Although I said that I will not be treated as a slave, but... I will still be looked down upon by many people and bullied by them!" Xiaoping gritted her teeth, her face was covered with tears. This kind of scar that removes the imprint is different."
"As long as there are scars like this, like the previous bandit leader, who also has scars on his face, he must have been a slave, so he will be looked down upon by others. He is fine, he has force, and I am a child." Xiaoping got off the camel beast , kowtowed and begged, "Uncle, young lady, please, just let me be your servant, don't drive me away, don't drive me away!"
Teng Qingshan sighed secretly.
In the mainland of Kyushu, there are no slaves.
"Xiao Ping!" Li Jun jumped off the camel and hugged Xiao Ping, her eyes were also red, "Don't worry, sister won't ignore you, no."
"Brother Teng." Li Jun also looked at Teng Qingshan.
"Take her." Teng Qingshan nodded.
In fact, Teng Qingshan also discovered... Xiaoping's past home should be very good.
Slaves are not qualified to learn words!
But Xiaoping was trafficked three times. Long before her family was ruined, Xiaoping learned to read at a very young age, and...although she was only nine years old, Xiaoping was as intelligent in thinking and speaking as a young adult! However, in this continent, intelligence cannot make her escape the fate of being a slave.
Soon, Teng Qingshan and his group of three had arrived at the south gate of Danyang City. Although the gate was not crowded, there was still constant traffic. Many rode camels, or trucks pulled by camels kept entering the city, and some When people go out of the city, almost everyone wears a thick jacket.
"Dan Zai!"
Teng Qingshan looked at the two big characters on the tower, although he learned a lot of characters during the time at sea, but for the word 'Dan', Teng Qingshan only knew the word 'Dan'.
"Anyway, I know some words." Teng Qing comforted himself.
"Two big coins per person." The city gate guard guarded the entry fee.
Fortunately, Teng Qingshan got a lot of money from the robbers, and Li Jun immediately handed over six big coins. The man with a messy beard that looked like needles on his face glanced at Teng Qingshan and Li Jun, carefully looking at the two of them. Xiaoping looked at her face and snorted lightly: "Go in."
Xiao Ping could only bow her head.
…
Inside Danyang City, Teng Qingshan was carrying a large package and holding a black stick, Li Jun was leading the camel beast, Xiaoping was also holding Li Jun's hand, and the three of them were watching the bustling Danyang City.
"Interesting, interesting." Teng Qingshan's eyes lit up.
Most of the buildings and houses in Danyang City are domes or spires, and the windows are relatively tight.
This is completely different from the architectural style of Kyushu. The perennial low temperature makes the clothing and architecture of people in Duanmu mainland completely different from Kyushu. The island I went to before, the Heitiehe Liu family, just fled to the island. Living in a simple wooden house, there is no time to build some stone buildings in the future.
Camels can be seen everywhere on the street, tall men wearing thick padded jackets and carrying weapons.
"Brother Teng, where are we going now? I'm a little hungry." Li Jun smiled.
"Xiao Ping is hungry too." Teng Qingshan glanced at Xiao Ping with a smile, "Come on, let's go eat first, and then go buy a carriage or something."
But the three of Teng Qingshan had just left for a while.
"Boy, step on my dirty shoes and leave like this?" A loud voice came from the front, and Teng Qingshan and the three looked around, only to see that there were already many people watching in front of them.
Teng Qingshan was curious: "Didn't you say that fighting is not allowed in the city?"
Staying closer, Teng Qingshan found that a tall and strong man wearing a felt hat was staring at a thinner man with a dark beard, and growled, "I am going to see a distinguished guest, you dirty my Shoes, why, just want to settle for these ten stinky money?"
The dark mustache's face darkened: "Brother, take a step back."
"Who is your brother!" The tall and strong man stared.
"How much do you want?" The mustache lowered his voice.
The tall and strong man obviously felt that the other party was easy to bully, and raised his eyebrows: "One tael of silver, let's forget about it."
"Clang!" Mustache pulled out the long knife on his back.
The tall and strong man's face changed slightly, he retreated two steps in a row, and the people around him even took a few steps back in a row.
"My name is Chang!" Mustache stared at the tall and strong man with eyes like swords, and said loudly, "Invitation to fight! Do you dare to fight?"
The tall and strong man was taken aback.
"Haha, is that guy scared?"
"Cowardless coward!"
The people around were afraid that the world would not be chaotic. Teng Qingshan and Li Jun were a little puzzled, and Xiaoping next to him said in a low voice: "Uncle, fighting is not allowed in the city. If you kill someone, you will be arrested, but... If you invite a fight, the other party will also join the fight, and it’s okay to kill people.”
Teng Qingshan suddenly realized.
At this moment, the two people surrounded by people, the tall and strong man was squeezed by the people around him, his face turned red, he stared at the mustache and shouted: "Invitation to fight? I have accepted the battle. If you are brave enough, I will send you to meet your ancestors!" .” As he spoke, he also pulled out the machete behind his back, but he just pulled it out.
"call out!"
The mustache directly swung the knife one step ahead!
A cold light flashed.
"Puchi!" The blood from the tall and strong man's throat sprayed out like water, his eyes widened, his lips moved, as if he was still unwilling, and finally fell to the ground with a bang, leaving a large pool of blood on the ground.
Mustache sneered: "Idiot, you've already joined the battle, and you're still talking nonsense."
Withdrawing the saber, the mustache walked away from the crowd. The people around chatted a few words, and then left one by one.
"Just leave like this, no one cares?" Teng Qingshan was a little surprised.
"Uncle, there are a lot of things like this, when you don't agree with each other, you draw your sword and face each other." Xiaoping said, "I have seen it many times. Sometimes in the city, just because of a word or two, they will be killed. Wait a minute." Son, there are men and horses from the Fang family, the owner of Danyang City, who came to carry away the corpse."
Teng Qingshan nodded, and secretly said: "If you don't agree with each other, you draw your swords to face each other? It is indeed a place where families compete for hegemony. There are more people killed than in Kyushu."
