Chapter 173: Nanzhang Town

"Dad..., are there any towns near here?"

The first time he called someone his father, Chen Hang always felt a little awkward.

Zhao Dashan said without thinking: "There is a small road out of the village. Just follow it and you will reach Nanzhang Town in half an hour."

Nanzhang?

Chen Hang really couldn't remember where this place was.

"Is there a bigger, more famous city?"

"Be more famous... The city closest to here is Fancheng."

Fancheng?

Chen Hang looked happy. Isn't this the place where Liu Da'er (Liu Bei) stationed his troops? It turns out that I am in Jingzhou.

Zhao Dashan glanced at his son and asked in confusion: "Why do you ask this?"

Of course Chen Hang would not say that he wanted to meet his idol Zhao Zilong. "Nothing."

……

After chatting for a while, it was getting later and later.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, 1,800 years ago, the nights were far less lively than in later generations. It can be said that there was almost no nightlife. I usually go to bed after dinner.

"It's getting late, Hutou, you have just recovered, so rest early."

Chen Hang nodded.

A few people went back to their rooms.

The moment he just walked into the room, Chen Hang suddenly received a prompt from the system:

"Task 1: Join any camp (Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Liu Bei)."

"Task description: You must choose and join any camp (Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Liu Bei) within 10 days."

"Task reward: 1000 evolution points. If you fail, 500 evolution points will be deducted and you will exit this movie world..."

When Chen Hang heard about this mission, the first thing he considered was to join Liu Bei's camp.

Influenced by later generations of novels and storytellers, Chen Hang has long admired the five tiger generals of Liu Bei's camp. Whether it is Guan Yun who has surpassed five levels and killed six generals, or Zhao Zilong who has gone up and down the slope seven times, it makes people excited.

Because it is June, even at night, it is a bit muggy.

Chen Hang was lying on the wooden bed, not sleepy.

In my mind, I was still thinking about the scene when I met the hero. At this moment, a sigh came from next door.interest.

The next room is the "parents" room, with only a wall in between.

With Chen Hang's current hearing, it is not affected at all.

"Alas!" This was Li Cuiyun's voice.

"You, mother-in-law, don't sleep at night, why are you sighing?"

After being scolded, Li Cuiyun immediately retorted: "Isn't it all because of you? Who are those three scoundrels? Who doesn't know this Murakami is lazy and idle? You just believe him... Now you owe the Fu family thirty thousand dollars, what do you want to pay back?"

Zhao Dashan was silent.

The Fu family is a local powerhouse, and their reputation in this area is not very good. They have a bunch of idle hangers-on and do no good.

If youcan't pay back the money in three days, the Fu family will definitely come looking for trouble.

Seeing that her man stopped talking, Li Cuiyu thought for a while and then said: "Master, how about we sell the cow."

"Selling the cow? Do we still need the crops in our fields? Besides, a cow is only worth ten coins, so selling it is useless!"

"What should we do? The Fu family is not easy to get along with!"

Zhao Dashan suddenly murmured: "Don't you still have a gold bracelet? Why don't you pawn it first?"

"That's the dowry my mother left for me!" Li Cuiyun was a little reluctant to part with it.

"After all, it is an external possession, and it is more important than losing your life. If the money cannot be repaid, the Fu family will force the person to death."

Zhao Dashan sighed and felt uncomfortable letting his wife pay for the dowry.

"It won't work. I'll really make my daughter jump into the fire pit."

When Li Cuiyun heard about her daughter, she also fell silent.

Although Li Cuiyun was a bit fond of children over daughters, no matter what, it was still her child and her flesh and blood, so naturally she couldn't bear to part with it.

Not long after, there was a sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets from next door.

Then, Li Cuiyun's voice came: "Take it. Early tomorrow morning, you can go to the town to pawn some silver and buy some supplements when you come back. Hu Tou's body has just recovered and needs supplements."

"This gold bracelet was handed down from my ancestors. My father had it checked by someone. It's worth at least fifty gold bracelets. If it's less than that, don't sell it. Don't be fooled."

"Alas!" Zhao Dashan just sighed and did not speak.

Hearing this, there was no sound from the next door.

Chen Hang felt a little moved.

Poorparents in the world!

The couple's words and expressions showed concern for their children, which reminded Chen Hang of his own mother.

……

the next day.

Early in the morning, Zhao Dashan was fully dressed and ready to go to the town market.

Chen Hang also got up "just right".

"Dad, are you going out?"

Seeing his son back to normal, Zhao Dashan smiled slightly: "Yes, dad is going to town to buy some things for the family."

Chen Hang quickly pretended to be interested and said directly: "Dad, can you take me with you?"

He is going to the town to learn more about the situation.

Zhao Dashan was a little embarrassed.

His son was "recovering from a serious illness" and should get more rest. However, seeing his son's high spirits, Zhao Dashan couldn't bear to refuse.

And unless necessary, they have very few opportunities to go to town during the year, so it would be a good idea to let their son take this opportunity to see the world.

Thinking of this, Zhao Dashan nodded: "Hutou, you can go there, but when you get to the town, you must not run around. The town is not like the village, there are bad people there."

Chen Hang nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, Dad!"

Zhao Nan got up early to help the family cook. Seeing that her brother could go to the town, she wanted to go, but before she could speak, her mother glared back, making her feel aggrieved.

The two "father and son" packed up and set off.

At this time, there were no motorized vehicles for transportation. As for carriages and horses, they were only available to wealthy families.

So Chen Hang could only follow Zhao Dashan and leave on foot.

After walking for more than an hour (nearly three hours), Chen Hang finally saw Nanzhang Town.

When they arrived at the town, Chen Hang followed Zhao Dashan while looking at the town in front of him with appreciation, which was 1,800 years ago.

Nanzhang Town is not big, with only two streets and some alleys around the city. The whole town is divided into four parts: southeast, southeast and northwest. In the center is the market, which is the busiest place in the town.

When we came to the market, it was indeed very lively.

There are restaurants and shops...

Of course, compared to the lively and prosperous metropolises of later generations, such small towns are certainly inferior.

But it was better than the ancient style, which gave Chen Hang a different experience.

"Hutou, just wait for me here. Dad will come when he goes. Don't run around!"

Chen Hang was startled, and then he saw that in front of him was a pawn shop.

Nodding, Chen Hang said: "Dad, don't worry."

……

Opposite the pawn shop is a restaurant.

Sitting by the window on the second floor of the restaurant, a richly dressed young man was lazily eating breakfast.

Beside the young master, the three men were standing respectfully, with flattering expressions on their faces.

Seeing the delicious food on the table, San Leizi was a little greedy and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Afraid that the noise he made would affect the young master next to him, San Leizi cast his gaze outside, trying not to see but to keep an eye out.

Suddenly, San Leizi saw a familiar figure, which immediately attracted his attention.

Take a closer look, isn't it Zhao Dashan?
