185,【The thief in the downtown area】

After leaving Chaoyungang, the square head went straight toward the northwest.

When there is a small road nearby, he will follow the small road; if there is an official road, he will walk on the official road, or even buy a carriage seat; and when there is no road next to him, he will walk between the fields as if walking on flat ground.

Whether it was fields, ditches, ponds, rivers, or messy forests, he looked as if nothing had happened and passed by.

There are no high mountains in the vast territory east of Yunzhong Mountain. After walking for hundreds of miles, the earth gradually became less flat and began to appear.

This time he did not walk slowly, but moved forward slightly faster than ordinary people.

As the wind, rain and snow pass by, the weather gets colder and colder.

But for the people, not everyone can afford to wear cotton clothes. More people wear leather felts or cold-proof clothes made of reeds and catkins.

The poorer people hide in the house and do not come out, covering all the clothes and bedding that can keep warm on their bodies, which is called "maodong".

Some people also use domestic cats and dogs as warmers, which is also very common.

The northward, the house looks more and more different from the ones near Yunzhongshan. The adobe is thicker and often has heating facilities.

When it is cold, burning a handful of firewood can bring some temperature to the cold night, either in the kang, on the side of the warm wall, or in the stove.

Some lucky places also use coal to keep heating in scattered ways, but due to transportation and prices, it is not popular.

Along the way, Fang Chang not only observed the various aspects of the world as before, but also often visited the city gods, land, mountain gods, water gods, and met with them, talked about things on earth and things outside the world.

And he, a practitioner with extraordinary conversation and outstanding temperament, is also very popular with these gods.

After all, their responsibilities are very busy every day, but they don’t have a vacation, and they can’t visit each other often. Moreover, they cannot travel far away from the place they manage like Fang Chang.

Therefore, for this practitioner who travels around the world, they not only envy his cultivation and state of mind, but also envy his insight and freedom.

Fang Chang also gained a lot on this road.

After several breakthroughs, he has a transcendent temperament and can hide himself and let others ignore him in person.

Now, after observing the mortal world for a long time, he has gained new experiences and new experiences.

Walking in the downtown area, although he was still wearing white clothes and swords, and was handsome and tall, people looked at him as natural as seeing an ordinary neighbor, and they were completely unaware of it.

Many times, this is very convenient.

For example, now, Fang Chang is like an ordinary passerby, standing by the street, gathering with a few citizens who are familiar with each other and listening to them chat, but the few of them are completely disregarded by his joining.

"The market has become more and more chaotic recently, and it is much worse than in previous years."

"Yes, everything is rising, oil and salt are rising, rice, grain, tea and vinegar are also rising, all the items you can see need more money to buy."

"There are only so many ways for everyone to get money. I don't know when this day will be the first."

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads, sighing.

"Now there are many people stealing things." Someone whispered, "not only should we prevent fire and water, but we should also prevent pickpockets from stealing. It is said that there are robbery outside the city."

The more they spoke, the more angry they became. Fang Chang listened casually, without expressing any opinions.

When it comes to excitement, people are very angry.

Fang Chang had a very good eye. He could see not far away, as several citizens beside him said, someone was stealing in broad daylight and running away when he got it. However, the careless owner who exposed his property suddenly realized that he had not realized it and let him act.

He shook his head, with the current response strength of Fuzhou, he could only catch more and more.

Because after the stolen, citizens often dare not look for officials to report the case, and often just swallow the bitter fruits of the losses themselves. Because when reporting to the officials, they may lose more. If you are a little bit of a mistake, even if you are a victim, even if you roll out in the yamen, peeling the skin will be light.

But what surprised Fang Chang the most was that the thief who had been stealing in broad daylight just now did not go far, but saw him wandering around, pretending to be fine, and continued to wander on the street.

As a result, something happened.

It seemed that because of quarrels and grievances, a bigger conflict suddenly broke out on a street not far away.

The sound of fighting, the sound of sharp blades entering the flesh, the sound of snatching...

There were still no officials in charge, but the scene was out of control for a while. While we were shouting, the attention of people in several streets was attracted. However, the perpetrator was walking between the streets with a sharp knife in one hand and the victim in the other, as if he was looking for a good case to slaughter the people in the hands.

The thief was very clever, greeted his accomplices, and then quietly lie in the corner.

When the assailant passed by, the two of them rushed out like lightning, and suddenly appeared in a corner that the perpetrator could not notice, knocked the sharp blade away from his hand, and the people around him took the opportunity to rush forward and subdue him.

Not to mention how everyone will treat the injured and punish the evil people later, Fang Chang is very interested in these two stealers.

After all, in a sense, the two little thieves and the one who just injured others with a knife are both in the dark side of society. Unexpectedly, there was a situation similar to "black eating black" that occurred.

I don’t know what mentality they are based on, so they take risks to do so.

Fang Chang became interested, so he pulled away from the current chat people, switched to the state of his body, and followed slowly.

It seems to be an industry habit. The thieves do not like to expose themselves in everyone's sight, but quietly leave in the chaos, leaving no clues.

"Brother Junyuan, you were so neat that moment."

One of the thieves said to the other, the latter was the main force who had just stopped the strong man from committing an offense.

"That's right, we just rely on our hands to make a living. What's the point? Besides, the other party is just trying to hurt people and has no technicality. It's really hard for them to make trouble."

"Look, they are caught now. Maybe they will be taken to Caishikou later, take a knife, or be tied up with a rope for this life."

The thief, known as "Jungyuan", shook his head and said.

He is thinner than his accomplices. Even though the weather is cold, he is still wearing several layers of clothes and his face is not good, which shows that his daily life is quite poor.

"So Brother Junyuan, where are you going next?" the former asked.

"Don't worry, Yudai, we'll be able to get a good stewed cake this time, and then buy some food for the remaining money. We haven't had enough food for many days. Today we will make up for it first, and we can resist hunger for a longer time." The thief named Junyuan happily threw two small wallets.

This is what he had just succeeded. One of them was stolen from a passing pedestrian, and the other, "I cut it down when I just hit the knife-carrying man, but this guy was really rich. Instead of being cheaper at the back, it would be better to help us, right? Jade belt."

When the latter heard this, he nodded repeatedly and licked his lips.

After the arrival of the severe winter, all walks of life are not having a good time. Because they always leave room for action and have a choice in their goals, they have been hungry for a long time.
