After entering the town and his speed slowed down, Junior Brother Liang immediately threw away all the burdens on him.
"You have arms and legs. If you can walk on your own, is it possible that I will have to carry you on my back for the rest of your life?"
Hou Zi was already used to the harsh words and bad temper of the big man Liang. This big man was indeed a vicious man, but he did not use any hands or feet to carry him along the way. He was as smooth as a sedan and he enjoyed it very much.
Dignity is like this, after being trampled on once, it doesn't matter if it comes again?
The four of them walked all the way and came to the only high point in this settlement, a large earth slope. There was a large house on the slope, which was completely built of bluestone. It was very old, and it could be easily seen from the mottled weathering marks on the stone wall.
, there are even traces of slashing, axe-cutting, and dark forging on it. I don’t know what happened?
The fat man spoke, "Just wait for us here. There is a pond under Tiger Hill. Wash it yourself carefully. Don't dirty the sword!"
Don't think about escaping, I've put magical powers on you, you can't run away!"
Hou Ting still expressed his resistance with silence. He finally figured it out. With the behavior of these people, they probably didn't bother to put any restrictions on him. They just wanted to scare him. In a place like this, the common people are like this.
A loyal supporter of man, where can he go?
He doesn’t want to run away, he is planning to take root here, and sooner or later he will pack up these few things!
The four people left immediately, not knowing what to do. They left him here alone, but they were very sad. This was a kind of sadness for him, because with his negligible strength, they couldn't even imagine what he could do.
harm?
After they left, Hou Zi entered the so-called Sword Mansion. He complained in his heart and gave it a noble name. It didn't even have a gate, it was just a big stone arch!
Like Tiger Hill, it's just a big slope, which can really put your face on the map.
The sword residence has three floors. The first floor is a hall, which is tens of feet long and wide. There is nothing but countless sword marks on the inner stone wall;
There are several rooms on the second floor, but they are all empty; there are several rooms on the third floor, but they are all empty. No thieves will come here, except for big rocks, just big rocks!
After coming out of the Jian Mansion, he washed it carefully in the pond under Tiger Hill and threw away his clothes. The clothes were stained with mud and could not be washed out. Moreover, although he was not a spoiled child, he was the worst in his life.
Worrying about washing clothes is a matter of concept.
As for what to wear, of course it is a set of clothes that fit well in Jiandi. The white scholar's uniform should be that of the white-faced scholar; the outer panels are neat and the inside is clean-smooth...
There’s nothing to be polite about. We’ve already reached this point. How can we be so poor and particular? Don’t bite the lice when you have them, don’t worry about the debts when you have them.
It was almost dusk, and after all the hard work from morning to night, I had not eaten a grain of rice, so I was really hungry. There was no fart in the Jiandi, and there was no trace of fire, so I didn’t bother to take a stroll.
They wandered around under Tiger Hill.
These people threatened him not to escape, but they didn't restrict his freedom. It wouldn't be a big deal, right?
There were more buildings and houses under the slope, and the smoke was curling up. It was meal time; there were no streets, and the layout of the houses was very random. Although he was not familiar with this place, he could always find something to fill his stomach by following the smell of food.
The place.
This is a big noodle shop, set up in the open air, with people coming and going; big bowls of noodles, big plates of meat, big pots of wine, and even the spicy food on the table are served in basins. This suits him very well.
Here it is.
After everyone was called to eat, the table was full. It was not that he was wasting it, but that his current state was in the period of gluttony. He wasted it by using elixirs, and it was too late to attract spirits. To make up for the body's consumption, he could only eat hard in the mortal world.
make.
While eating, listening to the chatter and jokes of the diners around me, and occasionally asking the store owner, the situation here gradually became clearer.
The town is called Jiangyou Town, which means very simply, on the right side of the river; but the river has long since dried up, leaving only a faint river bed, and crops have been planted long ago. You can't tell it without looking carefully, but the name has always been used.
Come down.
Jiangyou Town has a population of hundreds of thousands, which is no different from a small town in Anhe State, but only a part of them have settled here, and more than half of them are scattered around the town; it is quite in line with the folk customs here, saying that they
It’s not wrong to be a herdsman farming.
What surprised him a little was that the so-called Sword Mansion on the slope was the patron saint here, responsible for the security of the town. It was more appropriate to call it the monk stationed at the Demon Sect. As for what other civil institutions there were, he didn't bother to ask now.
, and it has nothing to do with him.
He came here to break into the Demon Sect, not to be an official.
The time is too short, so I can only understand it. After finishing the meal, I call the store and "check out!"
The shopkeeper was extremely busy, but he had a clear calculation in his mind. "It's one tael and one cent in total. You are a first-time customer. I'll wipe off the change for you. I only need one tael of silver."
Hou Ting smiled slightly and waved his hand, "Pay it to Jian Di's account! I'll settle it at the end of the month!"
It's not that he's trying to trick people, it's just something outside of him, so he has to be like this.
In Baiyanglin, he threw away all his luggage, including yellow and white things, clothing, food and other travel necessities. Except for the three Taoist books and talismans and elixirs stored close to him, these things were also plundered cleanly by the big man surnamed Liang.
Come out, these people in the Demon Sect are very knowledgeable about this.
Therefore, he feels at ease and has a clear conscience when paying for his meals on someone else's account.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Jiandi does not have a general ledger, and they all spend their own money. So, which uncle do you want to hang on?"
Hou Zi did not hesitate, "I will hang him on the head of a bear."
The store owner chuckled, "Fourth Master Liang? Haha, the name Gou Xiong is quite unique, but Fourth Master Liang hasn't settled the bill for three months. How about his reputation..."
Hou Ting was impatient, "There are always those with good reputations, right? Fat pigs, bamboo poles, and nerds, whoever has a good reputation will be attached to him. If you mention me, Mr. Hou, to them, they will naturally know."
After saying that, regardless of whether the store owner agreed or not, he walked away. The store owner behind him smiled and said, "Good day, sir. Welcome to come again?"
The waiter behind him stuck his head out and said, "Boss, is this guy a freeloader?"
The shopkeeper didn't care, "He's just a freeloader, but he did come from Jiandi. Are you still afraid that some masters won't pay you? The longer they owe you, the more generous the reward will be when the debt is settled."
Hou Zi worked hard and kept doing things. He took credit once and several times. He also went to a clothing store and picked up good materials to buy himself two outfits. He went to the blacksmith shop and bought a waist knife and a bunch of snacks.
Damn...it's a pity that I couldn't find a cultivation workshop.
When he strolled back to Jian Mansion, the four people in the hall stared at him blankly.
Liang Dahan asked directly, "Who is on the hook?"
Hou Tsuga said as if nothing had happened, "Who am I to blame? In Anhe, I don't have to spend money to eat! That's just a reward for him!"
