Liu Tan hurried back to Liu Che and whispered, "No quarrel."
Liu Che sneered and continued walking forward with his hands behind his back. Lu Xuan also walked over in silence and happened to follow Liu Che together with Liu Tan.
Liu Che did not object, as his attention was attracted by the cockfighting on the roadside.
He knew at a glance that these two chickens were not of good breed, and were even the kind raised by ordinary families for laying eggs and eating meat. But at this moment, they were very lively, with a group of people surrounding the two chickens.
Because they are not a breed specifically used for cockfighting, they are not that aggressive. Both chickens were a little panicked and ran around, but they just couldn't fight.
A group of people gathered there, talking and giving suggestions. Even though they didn't see the two chickens fighting, they all looked very happy.
Liu Che stood there and watched for a while, unable to describe what he felt.
Liu Tan, who was standing by, suddenly sighed, "The happiness of ordinary people is really simple."
That's right, the people gathered around were not dressed very well, and even the hands of some of them were dark and deformed due to long-term labor, but they all looked very happy at this moment.
Liu Che seemed somewhat touched by what he heard, but he didn't say anything. He just raised his chin and said, "What's that in front?"
There was a crowd of people gathered here, and there was also a crowd gathered in front. Wei Deng cleverly squeezed in to take a look, then came out and said, "Master, they are playing pot-tossing in front."
"Tou Hu?" Liu Che was a little surprised. What kind of hobby could it be to go outside in such a cold weather and play tou Hu?
Wei Deng smiled and said, "Yes, we're having a competition. There are prizes. If you hit four, you get a small pottery figurine. If you hit five, you get a pottery bowl. If you hit six, you get a silver pendant. If you hit seven, you get a gold pendant. If you hit eight, you get a jade pendant."
Liu Tan was surprised: "Are you so willing to spend that much? How much is it per session?"
"Eight at a time, eight five-zhu coins in total."
After hearing this, Liu Che was also quite interested. This reward was quite a lot, no wonder so many people gathered around.
Wei Deng and Lu Xuan worked together to clear the way for the father and son. After squeezing in, they understood why the stall owner was so generous - the mouths of the eight wine jugs in front of them were very small, basically just enough for an arrow to fit in, and it was very difficult to throw an arrow in.
As soon as Liu Che raised his eyes, he saw the prizes displayed there, and discovered that the stall owner had so carelessly hung three kinds of gold, silver and jade rings there for display.
He had seen countless good things, and he knew at a glance that these things were too rough, but after a walk around the market, he had a basic idea of the general situation of the Northern Border Country. These things were nothing to him, but for ordinary people they were sky-high prices.
Even though they know it's hard to win, don't you think many people still spend money on pot-throwing? What if they get lucky and win?
Liu Tan stood there and couldn't help but have a sentence flash through his mind: Take a chance and the bicycle will turn into a motorcycle.
While he was thinking about this, he happened to hear Liu Che ask, "Master, are you not afraid of being stolen by displaying all these things out there?"
Liu Tan was about to explain that there were Wuhou Guards patrolling when someone nearby said, "Hey, you're from out of town, right?"
Liu Che was puzzled: "How do you know?"
This was the second person who asked him this question today. Although he spoke in the elegant language, the way the locals spoke, even with an accent, tended to be in the elegant language.
The man said, "Our king is safe. Who would dare to commit a crime here? Aren't you afraid that His Highness will send heavenly soldiers and generals to capture him?"
Liu Che was quite interested: "Are you saying that Shuofang City is now so safe that even thieves and robbers are gone?"
The man hesitated and said, "It's hard to say, but no one would dare to do it in broad daylight. And even if someone did, the county government would be able to solve the case in time! Last time, a jar was lost from my house. I reported it the next day and it was found on the third day."
Liu Che glanced at Liu Tan with a smile, and then heard Liu Tan asking Wei Deng: "What's going on with the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals?"
Has he lost touch with the masses? Why haven't we heard any news of this?
Wei Deng whispered, "There's a rumor that there's a team of black-clad celestial soldiers stationed in the palace."
Liu Tan: This is outrageous!
Liu Che was in a good mood. He raised his chin and said, "Let's go and try it."
Liu Tan was stunned for a moment: "Huh? All?"
Liu Che said, "Since you're here, just join in the fun. It doesn't cost much."
His words attracted many people's attention. Some people were wondering where he got such a boast. Eight five-zhu coins were not much money. In the eyes of the people of Shuofang City who were just barely making ends meet, it was a lot of money.
However, when he looked over, he found that each of these people had a good temperament and was dressed exquisitely, so he immediately shut his mouth.
Liu Tan's mouth twitched: "I...I can't do it."
Liu Che glanced at him and said, "It's just for fun."
Liu Tan Yuannian: I think you just want to make me look bad in public.
Liu Che was naturally the first to go. As soon as he got the wooden arrow in his hand, he knew there was something fishy about it - the arrow tail must have something added to it, making it heavier, while the arrow tip was very light, making it difficult to aim accurately.
This is how people eat. Liu Che just wanted to join in the fun and didn't care. The first one he threw out went crooked.
The second one was also crooked, but fortunately he mastered the trick later and threw in four more, and at least he won a pottery figure.
After Liu Che surrendered, the next one was naturally Liu Tan. Liu Tan stood there expressionlessly with his back straight, looking pleasing to the eye.
So what Liu Tan was worried about never happened, because when he threw the ball, no one was paying attention to how he threw it, but only to his face.
However, Liu Tan was under great pressure. He missed seven shots in a row. He gave up and threw the last shot randomly, but he hit it.
Liu Tan: ...
After Liu Tan came down, Wei Deng went up. Liu Che, fearing that Wei Deng would be hesitant, said, "Go ahead and surrender."
Wei Deng finally felt relieved. He walked over, stood there, raised his hand and threw eight balls in one breath, hitting five of them. He came back happily holding a ceramic bowl.
Liu Tan looked at Lu Xuan: QAQ
Lu Xuan couldn't help but touch Liu Tan's head and said, "Wait."
Then he walked over and gave eight five-zhu coins. He hit the target four times on the first try. Liu Che chuckled beside him.
Lu Xuan came over and handed the pottery figure to Liu Tan. Liu Tan was about to comfort him when he saw Lu Xuan walk over and buy it again, then turned around and hit five.
So Liu Tan had another bowl in his hand.
Next, the onlookers watched as the foreign youth, who had a strange appearance but a good temperament, bought twice more and won the gold and silver pendants from the boss.
Wei Deng's mouth dropped open as he watched from the side. Liu Che also tasted something and turned to look at Liu Tan, only to find that Liu Tan was looking at Lu Xuan with a smile on his face, not even blinking.
After Lu Xuan handed the gold pendant to Liu Tan, he turned around and went to look for the boss. The boss got a headache when he saw him coming. He immediately hugged his only jade pendant and shouted, "Closing up, closing up, closing for today. Please come earlier next time!"
Lu Xuan: ...
