"Does Master Liu still come to our Taoist temple?"
Yang Zhen interrupted Tiezhu's memories and asked again, "Where is the Taoist priest?"
"It probably won't come." Tie Zhu shook his head and slowly explained: "Taoist Liu has a palm-sized white disk, which is called a formation disk. He said that placing this thing in the temple can keep you safe, unless something happens.
He will never come back if he leaves, otherwise he will keep it in his room and ask me not to touch it."
"That day when I carried you back from the well, you didn't wake up. I thought that Daoist Liu was an immortal and there should be a way to wake you up, so I went to his room and took a look. I found that he was not there, and the array plate was not there.
It’s gone, so..."
Tie Zhu held his head, a little depressed: "Daochang Liu is gone and will not come again!"
The sponsor has left, and you have no food to eat again, Yang Zhen muttered in her heart.
He was a little strange. Normally, Taoist Liu had only been gone for a few days, and he usually gave Tie Zhu a lot of rewards. Why didn't he save some money?
But he couldn't ask this question anyway, otherwise he might not be friends anymore. Yang Zhen was also very frustrated. He had a lot of questions that he wanted to ask an immortal, such as, what kind of person can have spiritual roots?
, is it possible for him?
"If I can't cultivate immortality, what's the point of me coming to this world?" Yang Zhen murmured to herself.
At this time, night has completely fallen on this mountain forest. The sky is dotted with stars, and the bright and winding stars are clearly visible. Under the starlight, the mountains are undulating, the woods are shadowy, and unknown insects are chirping in a low voice. It is quiet and beautiful.
Yang Zhen looked up at the beautiful starry sky and was lost in thought.
Tie Zhu was still immersed in memories.
The two of them stopped talking and remained motionless, like two stone statues.
After a long time, Yang Zhen broke the tranquility. He thought of a question: "You just said that Taoist Liu lives in his own room?"
"Yeah. Our Taoist temple has a wing. It used to be the old Taoist priest, and later Taoist Liu, they all lived there."
"Daoshi Liu will definitely not come back?"
"Definitely."
"Apart from the two of us, is there no one else in this Taoist temple?"
"No, just the two of us." Tie Zhu looked at Yang Zhen strangely: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"Then why are we still staying in the door bed?" Yang Zhen turned around and left: "Let's stay in the wing room!"
"This is impossible!" Tie Zhu hurriedly grabbed Yang Zhen: "Even if Taoist Liu leaves, what if... if another immortal comes to our Taoist temple, where will you let him live?"
I bet you are still waiting for another immortal to come to your door!
You think this is a paradise in the cave. Immortals can come up on the pole!
Does this count as sitting back and waiting?
Yang Zhen couldn't help laughing.
…………
The next morning, on the grass in front of the Taoist temple, two teenagers were dancing with guns and sticks.
Last night, Yang Zhen pulled and pulled, and finally pulled the reluctant Tiezhu to the wing. The room was not big, and it was very clean. It was a completely different world from the Taoist temple outside that was covered with dust and cobwebs. There was a futon in the room.
There is also a single bed. Tiezhu and Yang Zhen are still half-grown children, so the two of them can sleep on it without feeling crowded.
However, Tie Zhu felt uncomfortable all over and kept mumbling. He got up in the middle of the night and went to sleep on his door bed. Yang Zhen didn't sleep well either. The familiar headache and tearing feeling came again, making him almost cry out several times.
The sound came. Then he took out the wood carvings and small stones, and while rubbing them in his hands, he thought about some random things. I don't know if his attention was distracted, or if there was something magical about these two small things, and his headache gradually disappeared.
, he fell into a deep sleep.
Despite this, he was still full of energy when he woke up the next day, and started learning his stick skills from Tie Zhu - this was what they had agreed to do last night.
The stick technique passed down from Tiezhu's family is not profound. It only involves a few simple movements such as "hitting, splitting, covering, sweeping, piercing, picking, and teasing." Yang Zhen learned it after practicing it twice. This body is learning martial arts.
He also showed quite good talent in this area, which surprised him once again.
Even the simplest stick technique is hundreds of times stronger than the previous Luanwu Yiqi. Now Yang Zhen, with this similar stick technique, coupled with his quick reaction, far exceeds the strength and endurance of his age. Yesterday
Even if a dozen more beggars like that come and fight with each other with sticks, Yang Zhen believes that the final victory will definitely belong to her.
After practicing the stick technique, the two of them took off their clothes by the well and scrubbed their bodies. Yang Zhen put on the clothes the old woman gave him yesterday, tied her long hair into a ponytail, and her whole face took on a completely new look.
I don't look like a beggar at all.
After using the leftover pancakes from last night, Yang Zhen told Tie Zhu that starting from today, he would find a job in the county town and hoped that Tie Zhu would join him.
"We can't be beggars all our lives. We can definitely support ourselves with our hands!"
"Taoist temples cannot be our home. Our home is there!
On the way down the mountain, pointing at the bustling city under the clear sky, Yang Zhen shouted loudly.
……
The two came to Shuyang County again.
Although it was only a day later, this was only the second time he visited this city. Yang Zhen's mentality was completely different from yesterday. Yesterday, he was curious, confused, and scared. Now, he has left these negative emotions behind.
Cheer up, be confident, be determined.
This city is no longer the strange ancient city it was yesterday. With the experience of staying at an old woman's house, and with people like Mr. Shaobing who are cold on the outside and warm-hearted on the inside, this city has already made him feel a little kind and friendly.
A sense of identity.
Yang Zhen believes that he will be able to find his own place in this huge Zhuojiang County.
……
The first place Yang Zhen chose to apply for a job was a restaurant.
This is a three-story building. It seems to be quite old and simple. The first floor is probably a dine-in restaurant. It is very busy and busy. It seems that the breakfast here is very popular. The second floor looks like
There was steam steaming from the teahouse. Yang Zhen estimated that there was a private room on the third floor. Since it was morning, there was probably no one around and no sound could be heard.
There was a waiter standing at the door of the restaurant, dressed in gray soap clothes, welcoming guests.
Yang Zhen came over with Tiezhu, followed the example of adults, stretched out her hands to bow, and sang "O".
"This little brother, is the manager of your restaurant here?"
When the waiter saw two children coming over, the first boy had a strange braid and was serious about saluting and speaking like an adult, which was quite amusing. He happened to have some free time at this time, so he responded with a smile:
"Whose child are you? Are your adults drinking tea and eating in our restaurant? Come, come, come, I will take you in to find out..."
Seeing the misunderstanding from the waiter, Yang Zhen quickly waved her hand:
"I'm not looking for someone. I'm looking for the shopkeeper of your building to discuss something."
"What's the matter, tell me first."
When I heard that I was looking for the shopkeeper, the waiter was surprised. He looked at the clothes of Yang Zhen and the two of them. They were both ordinary people, especially the big one at the back. His clothes were even more shabby. So he felt relieved and thought that it shouldn't be a big deal.
Things.
Yang Zhen hesitated slightly. The waiter had to pass this test, so she made her purpose clear:
"My two brothers were hit by a rat infestation at home, and they are living here. They want to find a job in your restaurant..."
"No!"
Before Yang Zhen could finish her words, she was flatly rejected by the waiter.
The waiter raised his hand and pointed at the iron pillar:
"Your brother looks like this... Our restaurant is open for business, and this dignified appearance should not scare away our customers. You don't have to go to the shopkeeper, it won't work! I will take you there, and you will get scolded if you don't say it!" This was because she was rejected by the security guard at the door before she even met the interviewer! Yang Zhen secretly felt unlucky and had no choice but to come up with plan B:
"Little brother, you misunderstood. It's not my eldest brother who is looking for a job, it's me."
"You?" The waiter looked Yang Zhen up and down: "How old are you this year?"
"Nine... no, ten... ten years old!" Yang Zhen felt vaguely uncomfortable and spoke a little faster: "Don't look at me as young, I can write and do math, sweep the floor and clean the table, serve tea and water
, odd boy, I can do everything! "
Yang Zhen patted her chest and tried to act like an adult. Of course, in a sense, he was indeed an adult.
"Ha..." The waiter sneered: "You can do everything? With your small body, can you handle the dishes? A toad yawns, it's such a loud tone, hey!"
After the waiter finished speaking, he lifted the towel to his shoulder, turned around and continued to greet the guests.
Yang Zhen got angry and jumped around: "Why do you look down on me? I can do everything you can do! You are jealous of your talents. I want to see your shopkeeper!"
Yang Zhen wanted to continue the argument, but was stopped by Tie Zhu. Looking back, she saw Tie Zhu's lips tightly closed, his face flushed, and he looked very angry.
"Let's go!" Tie Zhu said bitterly.
The two left the restaurant and walked for a while with their heads down. Tie Zhu suddenly said: "Xiao Shitou, I want to walk by myself."
After that, he walked in the other direction.
She was hurt by what the waiter said just now! Yang Zhen sighed and watched Tiezhu disappear at the end of the street.
……
Yang Zhen is not depressed after a bad start. When it comes to finding a job, how many people succeed in just one interview? It wouldn’t be complete if you don’t visit every “enterprise” in this city!
Yang Zhen has a fellow student who studied finance. The school he graduated from is very average, and there is little chance of staying in the local area. When it was time to find a job, he went to the most prosperous commercial street in the city and submitted his resume to one company after another. In the end, he got the job he wanted.
I joined a big company, received an attractive salary, and stayed in that city.
As an inspirational story, his experience was often discussed at gatherings among fellow villagers, and Yang Zhen was naturally familiar with it.
Yang Zhen plans to visit all the restaurants, shops, workshops, and inns in this city, and ask every one of them. If it doesn't work in one day, then two days, if it doesn't work in two days, then three days, or in five days. If he doesn't believe it, he won't find it!
In the shop in front, there is a big word "Dang" written on the high wall, the door, and the sign outside the door, and on both sides it says:
Life is about things that come and go, and things in the world are just things.
This is a pawn shop, Yang Zhen walked in.
