Chapter 327: winking

The wind blew up at night, and it was a little colder outside the pass than inside the city, Li Haitang rubbed his hands, the trip was too hasty, it was considered a wayfinding.

"We have to go back and prepare warm clothes."

The barbarians are in the north of Daqi Border City, the weather is colder, and some places have been covered with snow.

The purpose of coming here today is mainly to find tunnels and exits, but the results are not satisfactory.

"what does that mean?"

Li Haitang was dizzy, the gate of Daqi City was closed, and it was impossible for one's side to go out of the city blatantly. It would be tantamount to telling the barbarians that there was a problem between their husband and wife.

You can't go through the city gate, the rest is the tunnel, probably there is no safer place than the location given by the black market.

"Let's go back first, go back and talk."

The entrance to the tunnel was too narrow, Xiao Lingchuan could only pass back and forth with his wife, wait for an open area, and then move forward with her in his arms.

By the time the two returned to Chunniang's small courtyard, it was already midnight.

After bathing in hot water and eating a bowl of steaming noodle soup, Li Haitang finally let out a sigh of relief.

She went down the mountain with a small bag, and there were no warm clothes in it. Fortunately, in Chunniang's guest room, there was a thin jacket with cotton in advance for her. She put it on the kang and waited to put it on the next morning.

"The black market has another tunnel, which leads directly to the barbarian's town."

After crossing the river, there is another entrance, but Tassel didn't mention it. Presumably the black market has its own rules and will not show its cards to outsiders.

Xiao Lingchuan hugged his wife in his arms and coaxed her to sleep. He walked a lot tonight and his body couldn't take it anymore.

Entering the barbarian town at night, they couldn't find the inn for a while, and the couple had to find another way.

Instead of this, it is better to get up early in the morning and set off, cross the river first, and wait to enter the city in a small town outside the barbarian city.

The barbarian and Daqi are divided into two by a long river, and the land of thirty miles on both sides is the territory of each country.

There are quite a few small villages and towns outside the city, which belong to the "three-way" zone, and the people rely on the trade between the two countries to earn a living from the price difference.

"After we cross the river tomorrow, we will go to the small town first."

The gates of Daqi City are closed, but the barbarians are not. They still need supplies as supplies, and they can always find a way to enter the city when they go to the small town.

Li Haitang only listened to half of it, and fell asleep exhaustedly. When he woke up, the sky was bright.

Wufu made breakfast and was cleaning the courtyard. After Li Haitang drank a big bowl of pumpkin porridge, he felt that this girl was worth buying, and if she was trained well, she might become a chef.

"Miss, don't bring banknotes, we can't find a suitable bank to exchange them.

Xiao Lingchuan reminded that all his old books were in charge of Li Haitang, and he only had a few pieces of silver in his hands.

"I know."

Li Haitang agreed.

After the meal, the couple packed their bags without taking bank notes. If they needed money, they could only exchange it with gold and silver.

Li Haitang brought some jewelry from Liu Xian'er's father, Master Liu in Licheng, and she was reluctant to wear it from her husband.

The two of them rode to the crossing of the tunnel to explore the road last night, and they were delayed for a while. Today, they are almost familiar with the road, and they arrived not far from the river in an hour without taking the side road.

Unexpectedly, there were still pedestrians on the chain bridge. When Li Haitang inquired, these people were ordinary people living outside the city.

They couldn't tell which country they were from. If a man from Daqi married a barbarian wife, or if a barbarian married a woman from Daqi, the babies he would give birth to would be similar to those of modern mixed blood.

It is these people who are least willing to see the two countries fighting each other.

"Husband, did we come in so easily?"

Li Haitang was surprised that the gate of the barbarian city was closed, but a small corner gate was opened. They did not look for directions when entering the city, and only charged a head fee. Much easier than she thought.

"The two countries are at war, and the people who enter the city are ordinary people. Even Daqi's spies, single-handedly, can't do anything to the barbarians."

Xiao Lingchuan had foreseen that it would be easy, so he didn't take advantage of the darkness to climb the city gate.

Moreover, the gate of the border town was tens of feet high, and it took a lot of effort for him to climb up and down with his wife.

Entering the barbarian city, another round of light and shadow.

There is not much difference from the border town in the northern part of Daqi. The quaint bluestone road is a bit thick, with two rows of streets and many shops.

The difference is that the wine shops and butcher shops on the street occupy almost half of the street, and the faces of the customers who come and go are flat, and it can be seen that the war has no impact on the barbarians.

"Husband, have you been here?"

After entering the city, Xiao Lingchuan didn't look left and right, but walked in one direction.

If you are a newcomer, you must be unfamiliar with it. For example, Li Haitang can't tell the difference between east, west, and north.

"came."

About two years ago, he came to the barbarians to carry out darts and deliver medicinal materials, and they were going to stay at the place of acquaintances during this trip.

It is inconvenient to live in a hotel with too many people.

The border city of the barbarians is called Sishui City, which means that there are waters on all sides, and the customs are similar to those of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

There is no curfew in Surabaya City at night, and wine shops are the favorite places for men to go.

"The winters of the barbarians are long and cold. Men like to drink a kind of wine called Shaodao. Take a sip and your stomach will burn."

Burning knives, barbarians are also called shochu, the king of spirits, almost sixty degrees, if you don't drink well, drink a small wine cup, you have to lie down.

Li Haitang listened to the novelty, but she tried her best to bear it. She didn't look around like a bumpkin, but just stared ahead.

After walking a few steps, she found something very interesting.

Xiao Lingchuan was tall, with deep brows and eyes, not much different from a barbarian in appearance, and he didn't get any surprised looks along the way.

It stands to reason that the savage husband has scars on his face. In the eyes of the people of Daqi, it is a proper disfigurement and ugly face. After all, they all like Lu Yuanqing's thin, white-faced scholar, who has the same aesthetics as Miss Zhang.

The barbarians are different, advocating force, and weak scholars who have no flesh on their bodies will be stared at.

"Husband, I seem to see someone winking at you."

There was a girl wearing a red flower in front of her just now, she kept flirting with Xiao Lingchuan, Li Haitang was furious immediately, and quickly put her arms around him, declaring her sovereignty.

As a result, it was not surprising to see a hint of disappointment in the girl's eyes.

"The barbarians are quite open to marriage."

Xiao Lingchuan couldn't see any joy or anger, but he was a little excited in his heart, he had to show his mother, his face was very popular among barbarians.

He came to the barbarians to sell goods, and was often stopped by people. Those unmarried girls were bold enough to directly ask him if he was married.

"How open?"

The travel notes that Li Haitang read mainly introduced Daqi's rivers and mountains. The people of Daqi treated the barbarians one by one, which is enough to show their contempt.

"You are free to marry and marry. If two men both fall in love with a girl, they will fight a duel." There are towns and grassland tribes here. object of our hearts.
