Chapter 005: Into the City
On the road, Mu Yang met two groups of people. Seeing the clothes and the burden on his shoulders, they should be nearby farmers who rushed to the city to sell vegetables early. They saw a decent young man riding a strange bicycle and quickly passing by him. They all looked over in surprise and stared until Mu Yang rode his bike away.
The road gradually widened and became flat. You could already see the shadow of the city gate tower from afar. Muyang knew that the county town had arrived, so he quickly got out of the car, pushed the car to a big tree on the side of the road, and hugged the mountain bike and traveled back to Hyundai.
I searched again that except for this outfit, I was indeed clean. I crossed over again and began to walk towards the county town.
"What are you going to the city to do?"
"Boss, I went to the city to sell vegetables. The green radishes grown in my own fields are so beautiful. Why don't you leave one to try it?"
"Go and go, whoever eats your radish, who eats your radish early in the morning will not fart for a whole day, go in."
"Next, what are you going to the city to do?"
The city gate had just opened. The dozen or so people who wanted to enter the city who were gathering outside the city gate stood up and leaned forward. At the city gate were two Japanese soldiers holding 38-large rifles, wearing yellow military uniforms, and wearing a butt curtain hat, standing guard there.
Some of them were four puppet soldiers, one of whom was not awake, with a slanted hat and a gun tilted, and someone was holding a cigarette without a filter in his mouth, constantly asking the people who came into the city and doing inspections.
The inspection is not very strict, but the inspection of loads, carts, etc. that may carry weapons and guns is relatively careful, and it seems that it has suffered a loss in this regard.
It was Mu Yang's turn, and Mu Yang walked forward.
The puppet army squinted his eyes at Mu Yang and asked, "What are you doing? You're a face-to-face."
In fact, some of the people who come to the city to sell vegetables are familiar with the puppet soldiers. Although some don’t often go to the city, they can tell that they are ordinary people who are desolate when they look at the dress. But the young man in front of him is different. He is dressed in a straight Zhongshan suit and leather shoes. This puppet soldiers have only seen this outfit on the officials in the county, and others don’t wear it often. Looking at Mu Yang’s appearance, his skin color is obviously a person who has not been through the wind and frost, and he has never had the taste of farm work.
"I am a college student, from the capital. I am traveling abroad. Now I am passing by Baxian and preparing to enter the city." Mu Yang replied in a humble and arrogant manner.
In fact, he was really nervous inside, and his palms were sweating in his hands now.
"College students, when traveling abroad, they can't be the Communist Party." The puppet army squad leader said with a disgusting brow.
This guy was really confused, but we are now a probationary party member and have not yet been promoted to a regular party.
After the puppet army squad leader said this, the other three people nervously raised their guns and pointed their guns at Mu Yang. The two Japanese soldiers at the door also noticed the situation here and looked over here, making Mu Yang's head sweat slightly.
"How is that possible? I like to travel and appreciate the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland. A few days ago, I went out with my classmates on vacation. Later, I broke up with my classmates in Baoding, so I came back by myself."
Mu Yang's answer was quite appropriate. The puppet army squad leader could not find any suspicious points. He asked someone to search Mu Yang again. There was indeed nothing, and he didn't even have money, so he let Mu Yang enter the city.
Mu Yang walked on the stone street in the city, not walking fast, and his eyes looked at the street shops on both sides from time to time. Although he was calm, he knew that his back was soaked at this moment. He was really nervous just now, afraid that he would have exposed some problems. Even if he had the ability to travel back time, he would not die at the hands of the puppet army and the Japanese soldiers. However, at that time, it was inevitable that he would be nervous, and it would be good if he didn't make a fool of himself.
The streets are not narrow, the houses are made of blue bricks and gray tiles, and many of the shops have plaster flags on them, and they are all open. Is the plan for the day in the morning? Especially these shops pay attention to these things.
There was a shop in front of me, with a palindrome hanging on it. Someone was standing outside to make pancakes, and a tempting fragrance came out from it. Mu Yang had eaten this thing, and it was mutton soup. He was really a little greedy, but he had no one on his body now and could not eat.
"It's better to find a place to travel back and get the gold ring for money." He didn't bring anything before, just because he was afraid that he would be searched for the gold ring when he entered the city, and he would lose more than 2,000 yuan in vain.
Mu Yang urgently needs to find a suitable place to settle down, or a place that is convenient for him to travel through. He then walked around the street and saw an inn with the sign of Lesheng Inn and Restaurant hanging on it. It was estimated that this was equivalent to a hotel in later generations. Mu Yang raised his legs and walked in.
"Sir, do you eat or stay in a hotel? If you eat, we have everything in the store. The authentic Shandong cuisine chefs are here. They are cleaned very clean. The bedding is newly washed and it has been sunburned in the sun to ensure you feel comfortable sleeping."
Seeing Mu Yang wearing a bright dress, the waiter introduced Mu Yang in detail, and his face was full of smiles.
"I'll go and see the room first." Mu Yang said without showing any timidity.
"Okay, please go upstairs. There is a guest room upstairs. I will lead you." As he said that, he led Mu Yang to a guest room.
It’s true that although this is just an inn in a small county town, the room is really good. It is a small suite with a bedroom outside the living room and the bedroom inside. Of course, there are no facilities like bathrooms and bathrooms here, and it is considered the most traditional old-fashioned hotel.
The furniture inside is all solid wood. Although it is just ordinary pine furniture, it is all quaint. This store should have been operating for a while.
"How much does this room cost per day?" Mu Yang asked.
"This room has a triangular silver dollar every day. The meal is calculated separately. Our store can order dishes and deliver them to your room." The waiter replied.
Mu Yang didn’t know whether the price was expensive or not. Anyway, I thought it was OK, so I just stayed there.
"I don't have cash on me now." Mu Yang saw the waiter's face collapse as soon as he finished speaking, but Mu Yang continued, "But there are some valuable things on me, where can I exchange them for them."
Hearing this, the waiter's face immediately became a smile again, and he answered: "I don't know what valuable items are objectively planned to exchange for. If it is antique calligraphy, painting, jade, jewelry, ginseng, antler, tourmaline and agate, you can go to the Jin family pawnshop on the South Street to exchange for money."
"It's a gold ring, pure gold. I want to just use gold to exchange money in the money shop." Mu Yang said.
"Yes, gold can be exchanged directly at the money shop, which saves the price being cut by the pawn shop. In fact, if it is gold, there is no need to go to the money shop. Our inn can exchange it directly for you, just compare the price according to the money shop."
