至于‘白玉鼠’？ Then has not painted a portrait completely, including is male is female, age many does not know. 则是完全没有画像,连是男是女,年龄多少都不知道。 Aaron also thought little, arranges the city gate position. 亚伦也不以为意,排到了城门口位置。 The soldiers of defense swept his one eyes, smells the fish fishy smell, the complexion brings difficult to look at: „Enters the city to spend daqian!” 守城的士卒扫了他一眼,闻到鱼腥味,脸色就带着难看:“入城费一个大钱！” Although in the heart complained this hinders the business development, but Aaron anything had not said, the little darling made a payment, entered Taize Prefectural Seat. 虽然心中吐槽这是阻碍商业发展,但亚伦什么都没说,乖乖交钱,进了太泽府城。 This city two sides are the one-story houses that the height varies, the path is not too spacious. 这城市两边是高低不一的平房,道路也不算太宽敞。 Overall, making Aaron be greatly disappointed. 总体而言,令亚伦大失所望。 Until arrives at the transaction the east market, felt slightly livelier. 直到走到交易的东市,才感觉稍微热闹了一些。 Perhaps is reason that because the new year's celebration collective goes to the market, four sides the farmers in eight townships also gather here, hawks handicrafts that some are making. 或许是因为过年集体赶集的缘故,四面八乡的农夫也汇聚此处,叫卖着一些自己做的手工艺品。 The bamboo basket and backless stool...... have the toy horse and grass dragonfly that the child plays...... 竹篓、板凳……还有小孩玩的竹马与草蜻蜓…… The two sides stores are crowded, outside is also hanging the sign. 两边的商铺人来人往,外面还挂着牌子。 For example outside grain shop is hanging ‚meter/rice’ character. 比如米铺外面就挂着‘米’字。 The tea merchant is hanging ‚tea’ character. 茶庄则是挂着‘茶’字。 Salt number, pawnshop, cloth wholesaler and gold and silver shop, wineshop, teahouse and rouge shop...... 还有盐号、当铺、布庄、金银铺、酒楼、茶馆、胭脂店…… Looked at the blond Westerner, looked at this Eastern bazaar again, inexplicable lets some Aaron warm feelings. 看多了金发碧眼的西洋人,再看这种东方集市,莫名就让亚伦有些亲切感。 Aaron enters a city just like the country folk, stops from time to time, east asked west to ask, but did not buy, let not know many business unstated criticism poor devils. 亚伦宛若乡下人进城,一路走走停停,东问西问,但就是不买,让不知道多少商家腹诽穷鬼。 However the businessman art welcomed eight side Ke, was the new year's celebration, this polite cannot lose with the scene. 不过生意人讲究笑迎八方客,又是过年,这客气与场面还是不能丢的。 Aaron does not look for these to have the big company of goon, was only thick-skinned with the face, pours also learned many things. 亚伦也不去找那些有豪奴打手的大商号,只凭着脸皮厚,倒也学到了不少东西。 Strolled for quite a while, studied a lot of frequently used characters, only waits to digest silently. 逛了半天,学了一肚子的常用字,只等回去默默消化。 And, from spreading paving of comparing goods, bought the cheapest half jin (0.5 kg) ‚high froth’ with a cured meat, treats as the new year's goods. 并且,也从货比三家的摊铺上,买到了最便宜的半斤‘高沫’与一条腊肉,当做年货。 ‚High froth’ is the broken tea leaves, the vendor is the coolie who the tea merchant transports the tea leaves, these are tea leaves that in broken bits the ordinary day collect. ‘高沫’就是碎茶叶,摊主是茶庄搬运茶叶的苦力,这些都是平日搜集的细碎茶叶。 The tea of various varieties have, combine a body, is somewhat poor and pedantic, but the flavor is good. 各种品种的茶都有,混杂一体,有些穷酸,不过味道还不错。 The cured meat is the wild pork that in the mountain hunting household hit, after air-drying souse, does not hate to eat, brings to change money. 腊肉是山里猎户自己打的野猪肉,风干腌制后舍不得吃,也拿来换钱。 The hunting household is seemingly tall and sturdy, the smile was quite simple and honest, was saying must contribute money to the home young married woman child buys cloth to make new clothes. 那猎户看起来人高马大,笑容却相当憨厚,说着要攒够钱给家里的婆娘孩子扯布做一身新衣服。 Aaron looked at broken numb Shan, shrugs the arm. 亚伦看了看身上的破麻衫,耸了耸肩膀。 In any case, he does not have money to buy the new clothes new year's celebration. 反正,他是没钱买新衣服过年的了。 Walks while looked, when passed by a wealthy and prominent family yard, by opening wide the front door, can see inside giant square, dozens capable men are lifting to make the stone-lock dumbbell, trains martial arts, making Aaron stop the footsteps. 就这么一边走一边看,当路过一家高门大院时,透过敞开的大门,可以看到里面一片巨大的广场,数十个精壮汉子正在举弄石锁,演练武功,让亚伦不由停下脚步。 „Is this Qingshan Dojo? Facility Master Xue Qingshan, in the past was illustrious big Fist Master, now is hale and hearty......” “这就是青山武馆吧？馆主薛青山,当年就是赫赫有名的大拳师,如今老当益壮啊……” „This dojo also shows off on new year's celebration these huge opening the door households, acknowledges as teacher appealingly study the military, usually with doors tightly shut, dares to peep beats severely, said that you are truant martial arts......” “这武馆也就过年这几天大开门户显摆,吸引人去拜师学武,平时门户紧闭,敢偷看就痛打一顿,说你偷学武功……” ...... …… All around pedestrian discusses spiritedly, Aaron looks two Martial Master that in front of the dojo guards, feeling the muscle is very developed, as for more could not look. 四周行人议论纷纷,亚伦看着武馆前面把守的两位武师,感觉肌肉是挺发达的,至于更多就看不出来了。 He passed by the dojo slowly, sees opens ‘Return of Spring Hall’ by dojo. 他慢慢路过武馆,又看到就开在武馆旁边的‘回春堂’。 Since old times the medical military did not divide family property, by the dojo often had the hospital and medicine hall and so on construction, regarding treating traumatic injury one kind was very experienced. 自古医武不分家,武馆旁边经常有医馆、药堂之类的建筑,并且,对于治疗跌打损伤一类很有经验。 Aaron in the time of advance party of ‘Return of Spring Hall’, but the martial arts contest manager were many. 亚伦在‘回春堂’之前站的时间,可比武馆长多了。 After all this body will also fall ill, will possibly also die of illness. 毕竟这具身体同样会生病,甚至可能还会病死。 To go on living, must find the doctor, must take a drug! 想要活下去,就得找到好医生,要吃药！ ‚Later results in attention this point, un, best study independently medical technique......’ ‘以后得注意这一点,嗯,最好自学一下医术……’ Also white Piao when in the city an storytelling, has waited till dusk, Aaron the origin city gate goes out of town. 在城内还白嫖了一场说书,一直等到黄昏之时,亚伦才由来时的城门出城。 The soldiers who that defends a city also tear his packet check intentionally, sees inside cured meat with the tea leaves, mumbled a poor devil crassly, waves to catch up with him to leave. 那守城的士卒还故意扯开他的包裹检查,看到里面的腊肉跟茶叶,骂骂咧咧地嘟囔了一句穷鬼,才挥手赶他离开。 After the Aaron back vanishes, that defense soldiers arrive under nearby shed to rest. 等到亚伦的背影消失之后,那个守城士卒来到旁边的棚子下休息。 Also being all smile the people in the shed, come to pour tea to him immediately, smile to ask: „Army Master, how?” 在棚子里还有一个满脸堆笑的人,立马过来给他倒茶,笑问道:“军爷,如何？” If Aaron here, can recognize inevitably, he is that follows frequently in ‘Master Hu’ behind personal servant. 如果亚伦在这里,必然能认出来,他就是那个经常跟在‘虎爷’身后的跟班。 „Poor devil, even/including Pibu cannot afford.” “穷鬼一个,连匹布都买不起。” The soldiers drank a hot tea crassly. 兵卒骂骂咧咧地喝了口热茶。 „Owes I also to think that he enters a city alone, can a little good thing.” “亏我还以为他独自进城,能有点好东西呢。” The ‘Goldfish Gang’ member of pouring tea is meeting rudeness with a smile: „Was exhausted you, ‘Master Hu’ had the instruction, these fishing fine, while not celebrating the new year to go round the fish market, will treasure the fish to attain to attain in the city to sell, must look at the tight point......” 倒茶的‘金鱼帮’成员陪着笑脸:“劳烦您了,‘虎爷’有吩咐,这些打渔的都精得很,别趁着过年绕开鱼市,将珍惜鱼获拿到城里来卖,都得看紧点……” Then, some said pitifully: „Has Mangy Head Liu to work as the informer by the dealings, has what slightest sign of trouble also to know ahead of time, but this killed does not know where recently died went......, what a pity, his being filial piety is rich......” 说完,又有些可惜地说:“以往还有癞痢刘当眼线,有什么风吹草动也能提前知道,但这杀才最近也不知道死哪里去了……唉,可惜了,他的孝敬还是蛮丰厚的……” „, Isn't the man, the dead casino is on the woman belly...... is not simple as for the informer?
