A mule car(riage) from the inn by drawing, the mule before, behind was not a compartment, but was an animal-drawn cart, animal-drawn cart top head a canvas. 一辆骡马车从客栈里被拉了出来,骡马在前,后面不是车厢,而是一个板车,板车上盖着一块帆布。 Usually , the inn goes out to do grocery shopping with this. 平日里,客栈都是拿这个出去买菜的。 The Bei the Blind Man left hand takes a small leather whip hand to pull the reins, sits in „driving position” steadily on. 瞎子北左手拿着一条小皮鞭一只手牵着缰绳,稳稳地坐在“驾驶位”上。 The small mule broken car(riage), „opening” had/left a Cadillac's feeling to Bei the Blind Man. 小骡破车,偏偏给瞎子北“开”出了一种凯迪拉克的感觉。 Blind Man drives, A'Ming accidental/surprised had not thought that slightly has any improper, changed him of new clothes to sit in the Bei the Blind Man body side very much tranquilly. 瞎子驾车,阿铭没有丝毫地意外也没觉得有任何的不妥,换了一身新衣服的他只是很平静地坐在瞎子北的身侧。 The carriage is not big, only if lying down to behind, otherwise words that sits in front, two grown men affirm suffer in the same place. 马车不大,除非到后面躺着,否则在前面坐着的话,俩大男人肯定得挨在一起。 The small mule cart proceeds slowly, on the small mule nape of the neck the bell often sends out the leisure resounding ; 小骡车慢慢悠悠地往前走,小骡马脖颈上铃铛不时发出慢悠悠的脆响; Rain, but also below, is not big, no doubt cannot compare sleek/moist of Jiangnan inland such as crisply, but also just right fell the dust sand in place of air frontier fortress covering up, here, might be called the rare gentleness. 雨,还在下,却不大,固然比不上江南内地的润如酥,但也恰到好处地降边塞之地空气里的尘沙给遮掩了下去,在这里,堪称难得的温柔。 The mule is walking limping, the speed of animal-drawn cart is not naturally fast. 骡马步履蹒跚地走着,板车的速度自然不快。 On the side of Bei the Blind Man comes a whip to the front mule worn out, the mule also to take care of that Blind Man face, is perfunctory is called one, but hoof, actually not necessarily half a point acceleration. 瞎子北一边有气无力地给前面的骡马来一鞭子,骡马也为了照应一下那个瞎子的面子,很敷衍地叫一声,但蹄子,却不见得半分加速。 one person and one mule, in this rain curtain, achieved a tacit understanding. 一人一骡,在这雨帘之中,达成了一种默契。 „Not only changed the new clothes, but also washes hair?” “不光是换了新衣服,还洗了头？” Bei the Blind Man teased. 瞎子北调侃道。 „Pitifully does not have the air blower and hair mousse.” “可惜没有吹风机和摩丝。” „hair mousse, for a long time a far noun.” Bei the Blind Man yawns , to continue saying that „Siniang also really gives up, aren't your clothes, cheap?” “摩丝,好久远的一个名词了。”瞎子北打了个呵欠,继续道,“四娘也真是舍得,你这一套衣服,不便宜吧？” „You have.” “你也有。” „New clothes?” “新衣服？” „Suits your musical instrument, under canvas behind car(riage).” “适合你的乐器,就在车后面帆布下头。” Bei the Blind Man hearing this, both hands predecessor, ten fingers are beating unrestrainedly flexibly: 瞎子北闻言,双手情不自禁地前身,十指灵活地跳动着: „Oh, pressed Siniang, in this time, caused the piano, was not easy.” “唉,难为四娘了,在这个时代,弄出钢琴,也不容易啊。” „Is erhu.” “是二胡。” „............” Bei the Blind Man. “…………”瞎子北。 „Said the proper business.” The A'Ming reminder said. “说正事吧。”阿铭提醒道。 „In Tiger Head City, can amount to something, there are four factions.” Bei the Blind Man starts to brief the faction situation in Tiger Head City. “虎头城里,上得了台面的,有四个帮派。”瞎子北开始介绍虎头城里的帮派情况。 The Tiger Head City resident population are not many , about 20,000, in this, many elderly and infirm, therefore, with the requisition of conscripted laborer, caused usually in also to calculate that few days ago very lively Tiger Head City, suddenly became dreary. 虎头城的常住人口并不多,也就两万左右,这里面,还有不少老弱妇孺,也因此,前些日子随着民夫的征调,导致平日里还算很热闹的虎头城,忽然变得萧索了起来。 Young requisition as conscripted laborer to leave is a reason, but the primary cause the regional conflict that lies in having suddenly, let communicate here caravan to stop the footsteps in the previous stopping place, everyone is also waiting and seeing. 青壮被征调为民夫离开是一个原因,但主要原因还是在于忽然发生的局部冲突,让本来来往这里的商队纷纷在前一个站口就止住了脚步,大家也都在观望着。 Once lost the inflow of caravan, the small cities of Tiger Head City this export-orient economy, naturally were also basically hard to live it up. 而一旦失去了商队的流入,虎头城这座基本上外向型经济的小城镇,自然也就难以热闹起来了。 And similarly because of the frequent turnover of caravan, while promoting local economic development, multiplied an unavoidable good and bad people mixed up. 且同样是因为商队的频繁进出,在促进了当地经济发展的同时,也滋生出了一种无法避免的鱼龙混杂。 The common border small town, is impossible to present so many restaurants, joyhouses and casino, is impossible to present so many factions, in the final analysis, the cake did in a big way, person, were many. 寻常的边境小镇,不可能出现这么多的饭馆、窑子、赌场的,也不可能出现这么多的帮派,归根究底,还是蛋糕做大了,人,也就多了。 The matter of most rare and beautiful flowers is, reason that because the State of Yan powerful family stands in great numbers, the grasping strength of Monarch to place was very weak, created many loopholes in household register, in the city the common people were many, but truly had the State of Yan nationality, less than half, mixed the person of faction as for these, naturally not in the Tiger Head City household register. 最奇葩的一件事是,因为燕国门阀林立的缘故,君主对地方的掌握力十分薄弱,造成了户籍上的很多漏洞,城内百姓不少,但真正拥有燕国国籍的,不到一半,至于这些混帮派的人,自然是不在虎头城户籍上的。 Regarding this, the Tiger Head City government official also turns a blind eye, really must check the household register earnestly, these powerful family's first do not comply. 对此,虎头城的官吏也是睁一只眼闭一只眼,真要较真清查户籍,那些门阀第一个不答应。 „ The city east Hyena Gang help/gang, city west Three Gods Group, Gathering In Righteousness Gang in city, Carriage Gang of in addition suburbs, is in Tiger Head City, four gangs that can amount to something. “城东的鬣狗帮帮,城西的三神会,城中的聚义帮,外加城郊的车帮,算是虎头城内,能够上得了台面的四个帮会。 Hyena Gang does the human smuggler business specially, the wilderness Barbarian Clan tribe has the private war to massacre frequently, some prisoners of war will be transported, sells by way of Hyena Gang toward the State of Yan inland, but the aristocrats of Barbarian Clan tribe are interested regarding the Jiangnan female of State of Yan inland including State of Qian State of Jin very much , conducts to sell by way of Hyena Gang. 鬣狗帮专门做人口贩子生意,荒漠蛮族部落经常发生私战残杀,一些战俘则会被输送过来,经由鬣狗帮贩往燕国内地,而蛮族部落的贵族对于燕国内地包括乾国晋国内的江南女子很感兴趣,也是经由鬣狗帮进行贩出。 Three

wins over the follower to receive the incense and candle, raised a group of goons. 三神会则是一个彻头彻尾的神棍组织,里面供奉着燕国内的土神还有蛮族的蛮神外加还有西方的一些神祇,收揽信徒收受香火,也豢养了一批打手。 Gathering In Righteousness Gang walks outwardly on protection money specially, not only oneself opened the joyhouse casino and restaurant, in Tiger Head City includes our inn, needs to pay a wealth to it every month. 聚义帮则是专门走明面上的保护费,不光自己开了窑子赌场和酒楼,虎头城内包括咱们客栈在内,都需要每月向其缴纳一笔钱财。 Carriage Gang, is a bit like to the inland water transport help/gang, is primarily the carriages and horses good business, all wants the carriages and horses dock workers, in the Tiger Head City boundary goes all out need to pull out from the oneself wages sell part to give Carriage Gang, otherwise does not allow to live hand to mouth to eat in this boundary. ” 车帮,有点类似于内地漕帮,以车马行生意为主,所有想在虎头城地界卖力气的车马力夫都需要从自己的工钱里抽成出一部分交给车帮,否则就不允许在这地界里混饭吃。” „Now we in the city east, therefore, is first starts to Hyena Gang?” “现在我们是在城东,所以,是先对鬣狗帮下手？” „
