Chapter 70: Restaurant 1

The weather is not cold now, so the store does not put up its own signature hot wine to sell. Of course, their so-called "signature" wine is not very good. After drinking it again, Cao Muwen felt a smell of horse urine. If it was heated and distributed everywhere, the situation would be unimaginable. Fortunately, it is not the time to drink that. The store seems to have made some sour plum soup, mung bean soup and other drinks to relieve fatigue. The price is very affordable, and ordinary people can pour them into their mouths without hesitation. Far away, Wang Shouren noticed that there were many people in the wine house where he came from time to time, so he thought again. It's better to come here to rest. After all, these days are busy with military affairs. Although he often pass by here, he hasn't gone in for a rest for a long time.

Wang Shouren shouted, and Cao Muwen next to him knew it, so he also pulled the reins and let the horse stop. After Wang Shouren got down from the horse, he took the reins and tied it to the wooden stake at the door. After Cao Muwen tied it closely, the two walked in one after another. Several tables facing the gate are surrounded by people. At a glance, these people still leave work every day as usual, or after finishing some farming, they walk a few more steps to sit in this tavern, chat with each other, and exchange emotions.

Most Chinese people have a special hobby. Most of all, they may be powerless, just a white man, and even a poor man who worries about what to eat tomorrow. However, as long as there is a chance, it is good to pay more or less attention to national affairs, or even listen to it.

After Cao Muwen followed Wang Shouren in and was asked by the store to a slightly clean table, he vaguely heard some such words. The shopkeeper is also familiar with Wang Shouren, because he often comes here, and his "style" is also known to everyone, so he does not show too embarrassed. After bringing a pot of tea to the two people on the table, he retreated first, turned around to the table where the crowd gathered, and went forward to whisper a few words.

Cao Muwen stared at those people, but there were several people he had seen before. Looking at their appearance, he seemed to be discussing something. Wang Shouren picked up the teacup, took a soft sip, and said, "Mu Wen, look, what are those people opposite?"

At this time, Cao Muwen saw the clue. After the child passed by, the voices of those people were obviously much smaller, and several people had got up and left, looking a little panicked.

Cao Muwen just wanted to speak, but Wang Shouren smiled. After looking at Cao Muwen, he got up and walked to the place where the crowd gathered.

When the child saw it, his expression suddenly panicked. It was not that he stood there and walked away. He hurriedly pulled the skirt of the person beside him. The man had never noticed Wang Shouren behind him and was still talking to the people around him in a low voice. After Xiao Er pulled the corner of his clothes, the man suddenly turned around and saw Wang Shouren's face. The color changed so much that I didn't say anything immediately.

Wang Shouren laughed and said, "You just came to talk about something. Why didn't you say anything after I came here? Is there anything else that I can't hear?" After saying that, he sat on a stool by the table.

Xiao Er looked stiff and said hesitantly, "I... I... have something else to order from the shopkeeper. I... I'll go first." After saying that, he fled in a hurry and forgot the rag on his shoulder on the table when he left. As soon as Wang Shouren sat next to them, the group of people who had just talked were silent, and everyone looked at each other silently. Wang Shouren asked kindly, "My servant and I have just arrived. I remember that when I came in, I saw you talking about something. It was very lively! Why didn't you talk as soon as we came in? What? Don't you welcome us?" Wang Shouren asked briskly.

"Uh...this...this..." One of the old men opened his mouth and hesitated to explain, "No...No, Lord Wang, we are just busy playing all day. Everyone came first and had nothing to do, just called a few bowls of water, wine and sour soup and so on to relieve fatigue and rest. There is nothing big. , that is, everyone grinds their teeth and goes home after chatting. What else... Er... What will be hidden from the adults? Your Excellency, you are... very close to the people... Everyone is very happy to see you." After saying that, the old man brushed his black and white beard, still smiled very awkwardly and nodded. He didn't know whether it was for Wang Shouren or to comfort himself. At this time, the people around also nodded at the same time and said, "Yes, yes."

Wang Shouren smiled when he heard this, "I also like to sit here and chat with everyone when I have nothing to do. People who come often should know, right?" The old man nodded quickly.

"Since everyone is just chatting, what's the difference when I come here? Naturally, you don't need to worry about anything? What did you just talk about? I'm just resting. Just like you, what have you been doing now? Don't stop talking when you see me coming..." Wang Shouren said and laughed.

"Oh... okay, since adults want to listen... er... er, let's continue... haha, let's continue." After saying that, the old man immediately wink at the many resting guests present. At that time, everyone understood, so they opened the chatter one after another and began to talk. What did you eat this morning? How many eggs did your old hen lay today? In the evening, the 80-year-old mother of Zuotian gave birth to a big fat boy or something...

Wang Shouren also smiled helplessly when he heard it, and Cao Muwen was also funny to listen to him. These people were obviously chatting before they came in... Although Cao Muwen didn't really listen to it, the three words "Chi Zhongrong" were still heard clearly. It seems that the news of the uprising since these days has shocked the general public. We are all ordinary people and the lowest level of society. Chi Zhongrong took the lead in rebellion. Although it is impossible for these people to meet the "Golden Dragon Overlord" at all, this does not mean that they will not know this person. Chi Zhongrong rebelled because of the oppression of the government. Naturally, these people live much better than Chi Zhongrong, but the same social status will resonate with them, and it is natural for them to discuss with each other. Speaking of this mentality, Cao Muwen was deeply touched and remembered that it was still 2003 (or maybe the future). The evil beauty* has killed Iraq again. Although the war has nothing to do with many drifters in Beijing, including Cao Muwen, it does not affect many of them squatting in the dark and wet basement and staring at the war broadcast on an old-fashioned TV that has been yellowed and buzzing. Cao Muwen still vaguely remembered a buddy who didn't know where he found a map of Iraq. He was even more painful than the military map on TV. He endured the humidity in the dark basement while avoiding the noise of the police smashing the door to check the temporary residence permit. The police thought this place. After Fang couldn't live and hit the house, he climbed out from under the bed and picked up the map to continue to guide the righteous Iraqi people against the crazy attack of the United States. One day after the U.S. occupied Baghdad, Cao Muwen was lucky enough to see this brother on the street and asked him why he was in such an environment and still paid so much attention to foreign wars. His answer shocked Cao Muwen. Because of this, he and Adam were also hiding underground and empathize. Later, Saddam was hanged by the Americans, and Cao Muwen never had this guy again. It seems that he has left...

Cao Muwen can deeply understand this, and these people are just feeling it, because their situation may change one day and become like Chi Zhongrong. At that time, what should they do? Should they... rebel?

This is not a big deal. Naturally, Wang Shouren will not care about the people around him talking about Chi Zhongrong's rebellion. The defense of the people is more than the defense of Sichuan, which makes sense. But how to prevent it? But it's a problem. Dayu governs water, which is easy to dredge and should not be blocked. In those years, Dayu's father chose to block the water. The effect was not obvious, but accumulated water. Instead of controlling the rapid flood, the soaring water caused a bigger disaster. Dayu adopted a "so sparse" approach and led the turbulent waves to the low-lying cloud dreamland. The floods gathered to form Yunmeng Daze. Dayu also finally managed the flood, and the celebrities have been famous for thousands of years. Kings of all dynasties know that "the mouth of the people is better than the defense of Sichuan", but most of them do not know how to "prevent". Is it "prevent" or "let go"? Should we compare the words of the people to a turbulent flood and never have a trace of appeasement, or release the water to the right place like Dayu's water control?

Cao Muwen picked up the teacup, drank it all, stood up, and strode to Wang Shouren. They also moved a bench and put it next to the table. When everyone saw that the attendant of Lord Wang Shouren, who had been sitting in the distance, had made such a move, they were all at a loss. They saw Cao Muwen sitting on the side carelessly and looked sideways.

Cao Muwen sat still and was not ambiguous. He looked at Wang Shouren and nodded slightly. The latter smiled, nodded slightly, leaned forward, and said loudly, "Gentlemen, when I and I just came in, I heard that you were talking about Chi Zhongrong. You also saw us... Especially after Lord Wang came, because he is a governor. Although the adult is kind and likes to talk to the people, it is still very inappropriate if you don't avoid such things, and it will even lead to the disaster of killing, right? Therefore, we had to keep silent after we came. But doing this... makes adults more curious... isn't it?" After saying that, Cao Muwen laughed with "no intention".
