It won’t happen again, will it?
Pei Wende believes that he has been very honest during this period. He has never been back to his rehabilitation together with Qingsi, but he just doesn’t want to get into any big trouble before his injury heals.
However, judging from the current situation, Pei Wende feels that the days of leisurely recuperation may be gone forever.
After all, Pei Wende still has great confidence in his intuition. That extraordinary perception is not so much intuition as an early warning of some upcoming crisis in Long Mai in this area.
"What the hell happened?"
Pei Wende walked to the front of the bulletin board of the city gate in three steps and two steps.
Then the first thing Pei Wende saw was the dazzling new notice on the bulletin board of the people there.
While an official-looking petty official is reading the notice from the innermost side of the bulletin board to the people around him.
Pei Wende couldn’t squeeze into the crowd because he was far away, so he couldn’t see the original notice.
However, relying on his super listening ability, Pei Wende pieced together a general story from the reading of the beadle and the discussion of the surrounding people.
Anyway, the main idea of that notice is that there are signs of wild animals outside the city, so make sure everyone is safe and not suitable for leaving the city for the time being.
In the daytime, the officials will organize a hunting team to hunt the beast outside the city. Please be calm.
But it’s all official statements from the beadle’s mouth
According to the discussion of the surrounding people, it seems that things are not as simple as the government said.
No living things were found outside the city, but some people said that it was not a big beast, but more horrible and evil, and it was very likely that it had already been mixed into the city.
Even the government knows this, so it will close the city gate before it, just to prevent the monster from running out.
Besides, there are some rumors that murderers and robbers are looting outside the city.
Although it is not much, it is slowly flowing through the crowd.
"The beast? Demon? Murder robber? "
Pei Wende doesn’t know whether these statements are true or not, and he doesn’t know whether it is intentional to spread rumors.
From what he can observe, most onlookers seem to regard these statements as after-dinner talks, and no one puts them at ease.
In fact, except for those caravans and travelers who are in a hurry to get out of the city, the people who block the city gate are more surrounded by a kind of sightseeing mood.
What is the truth of the matter?
These ordinary people don’t care that the situation is not dangerous to them, so they won’t worry too much.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
A moment later, in the neighborhood near the west gate,
"Auntie, I’m back!"
It took a lot of effort to squeeze out from the crowd again. Pei Wende went straight to a hut in the next neighborhood and gently knocked on the door.
"Wende is Wende back?"
It didn’t take Pei Wende long to wait. An old woman with a full face of vicissitudes gently opened the door and then said with a face of complaints and cuts.
"You went to mountain herbalism again? Didn’t you say you’re still hurt? During this period, you should rest in peace! "
"There is a medicine. Why did you come back so late? Are you running around again? "
"I told you to mind your own business. It is because of your kindness that they give you all this mess. You have to learn to refuse!"
A series of questions said that Pei Wende was speechless and could honestly surrender with both hands.
"Aunt, my injury is almost the same …"
"And I’ve been staying at the doctor Lu during the day and I haven’t run around."
It was the old woman who had been getting up early to set up a stall after being taken by Xiaoqing overnight. She found Pei Wende who was seriously injured and took him back to her home to take care of him.
Thanks to the old woman’s careful care of Pei Wende during this period, she can get better so quickly.
Therefore, Pei Wende has always remembered the kindness of the old woman, and most of the money she got from collecting herbs in the mountains was given to the old woman.
The old lady said that Pei Wende was "meddling", which seemed to him to be nothing but meddling in everything.
People who live in small places will help a neighborhood more or less.
On the contrary, Pei Wende has been taught to "converge" the old woman, and her neighbors are more or less out of place.
Of course, this may also have something to do with her half-life experience.
After all, it is an "adventure" for an old woman to be willing to take in her husband’s early death and her child’s early death.
In a sense, the old woman seems to regard Pei Wende as her young son body double.
"Auntie, this is my mountain collecting herbs and selling money. Please accept it first."
Pei Wende thought that in order to prevent the old woman from nagging, she hurriedly gave her two hundred coppers to each other.
"You …"
Seeing this, the old woman sighed.
"Wende, I know you are not an ordinary person, but you have to save some money for yourself to marry a wife!"
Even though Pei Wende has been together for such a long time, the old lady is still a little unaccustomed to Pei Wende’s "chivalrous" style.
But what she knows better is that if she doesn’t take the money, the 200 pence will definitely not last until the next day.
Either Pei Wende took it out for a "midnight snack" at night and ate it, or he gave it to the neighbors. Don’t even think about saving it for the day.
Pei Wende does not deny that he wants the old woman to accept his "gift" in this way.
On the other hand, it is true that Pei Wende’s recognition of copper coins is far less than that of the ancients.
After all, no matter what, Pei Wende is a traveler from the 21st century, and neither knowledge nor pleasure can be compared with the natives in this era.
What has he never seen in the 21st century? What hasn’t been played?
In this era, apart from eating and drinking, Pei Wende never imagined that there were places worth spending his own money.
Anyway, Pei Wendegen has no expectations in all aspects except eating.
