"Cousin, everyone helped me repair my house all afternoon. I have nothing to thank you for."
"How about this? I think there is a tavern in our town. Invite everyone there and it will be lively at night."
Been busy all afternoon.
The roof has been repaired and the window paper has been replaced with new ones. The old house is now habitable.
As a modern person, Zhang Heng did not have the habit of asking others to help him for free. He originally wanted to pay him.
However, this idea was rejected by Zhang Zhentian on the grounds that clans do not pay each other to help each other, so outsiders only pay.
Zhang Heng felt uncomfortable because he couldn't give him money and was asked to help in vain.
Let's just treat everyone to a meal. Judging from the looks of everyone, they usually don't have much energy. They should eat something good to replenish themselves.
"Eight or nine people, this is too expensive. Besides, you just came back from Nanyang, so you have a lot of money to spend."
Zhang Zhentian thought about it and felt that this was not good.
Those who know will say that Zhang Heng is good at handling things, while those who don't know think that they are cheating on him.
"Cousin, I am not short of money when I come back from Nanyang. Besides, I also want to get to know everyone."
Zhang Heng has his own plans.
He wanted to gain a certain say in the clan within a short period of time, so money was indispensable to clear the way, and it was impossible not to expose his wealth.
So under his repeated insistence, Zhang Zhentian said nothing more, and a group of people happily went to the tavern.
"Man, do you have any beef or mutton?"
A group of people came to a tavern in the town.
As soon as Zhang Heng showed up, dressed like a rich young man, he attracted everyone's attention.
Dagou Town is a poor place. There are not many rich people and they have seen little of the world.
Just a gold pocket watch, which few people in the town have seen. This is a good thing that only the rich men in the provincial town have.
"There is beef. It was just killed in the morning and braised in the afternoon."
The waiter in the pub cannot see anything without his eyesight.
Although he didn't know Zhang Heng, he knew Zhang Zhentian.
Zhang Zhentian is the son of the old man of the Zhang family. Now Zhang Zhentian is actually walking behind Zhang Heng. Needless to say, this must be an honored guest.
"Bring five pounds of beef, stew a chicken, fish, and all kinds of delicious dishes."
Zhang Heng said casually, then looked at Zhang Zhentian behind him: "Cousin, can everyone have a drink?"
"this..."
Zhang Zhentian was speechless.
The wine in the tavern is not cheap. They were a group of nine. They wanted to drink to be happy, and even ten pounds of wine could not stop them.
"Here comes ten pounds of flower carvings. I want the best one from you."
Zhang Heng knew that Zhang Zhentian wanted to save him money, so he simply didn't ask him.
At this time, the nine people chose a big table to sit down. In a short time, the table was set with wine and food. Each dish was full of oily hard dishes, which made everyone drool.
"Brother Heng, let me toast you."
Swallowing, a chubby helper stood up.
"This is Zhang DaDa, who claims to be the boldest person in town."
Zhang Zhentian said from the side.
"Brother Heng, I'm so brave. I can sleep in a cemetery in the middle of the night."
Zhang boldly patted his chest, and then added: "I am the driver of the carriage. You have just returned from Nanyang and are not familiar with life. If you come to my place, you will definitely speak to me. I am the most righteous person."
Others also chimed in: "Brother Heng, if you have anything to say, please speak up. We will know you are a kind person as soon as we see you. Don't be vague when you are useful."
Zhang Heng was all smiles.
It is said that rich people have no shortage of friends, and this statement is indeed true.
Not to mention the distance, the eyes of the people sitting in front of him were all shining brightly, and it was almost written on their faces that he was a rare commodity.
"Cousin, on my way back, someone told me that there are zombies here. Is this true?"
After finishing a glass of wine, Zhang Heng looked at Zhang Zhentian with some suspicion.
Zhang Zhentian was silent for a while, shook his head and said, "I've heard of it, but I've never seen it."
After speaking, he looked at everyone.
Everyone shook their heads, including the boldest Zhang DaDa, who said: "It's all hearsay. No one can tell whether it's true or not."
Zhang Heng saw this and asked no further questions.
Because let alone now, even a hundred years from now, when the information network is so developed, there will be a lot of strange things happening.
For example, a person goes home at night and passes by an intersection.
I saw an old man with white hair from a distance, but in the blink of an eye, the old man disappeared, and I was so shocked that I broke into a cold sweat.
"Cousin, if you believe this, there is a ten-mile slope seventy miles to the east. There is Wanfu Yi Village there. There lives a real man called Xu Zhenren. I heard he is quite capable."
"If you think it's still not safe, there is a real Qian living in Echeng next door. It is said that he is the senior brother of Zhenren Xu. He is the true successor of Maoshan and is famous within hundreds of miles."
Zhang Zhentian said something casually.
"Zhenren Qian, Zhenren Xu?"
Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment.
After a while, he turned to look at Zhang DaDa, who was holding a roast chicken and munching fiercely. He always felt familiar to him, and suddenly asked: "Zhang DaDa, is your wife's name Hongxing? Do you usually give a man named Mr. Tan?"
Who drives the carriage?"
Forehead...
Zhang DaDa was stunned for a moment, holding the roast chicken and muttering: "Brother Heng, how did you know?" After speaking, he looked at the others: "What did you say?"
Everyone shook their heads.
hiss!
Zhang Heng took a breath of cold air.
He was not sure before, but after Zhang boldly admitted it, he finally knew where he was.
In this way, the rumors of zombies may not be just rumors.
There really is such a thing in this world.
"Zombie!"
Zhang Heng felt a chill running down his back, and there were many thoughts in his mind: "What a ghost. The good master of the two worlds suddenly changed his painting style and became a supernatural world. Fortunately, I asked more questions today, otherwise I would have been stupid and nothing."
I don’t know, I’ll have to suffer a loss in the future.”
As soon as one thought arose, another thought emerged uncontrollably: "In the supernatural world of the Republic of China, wouldn't it be too unchallenging to just make some money and go back?"
Without waiting to think about it any longer, everyone came to raise their glasses.
When you are about to drink wine, don’t stop drinking.
I sing a song with you, please listen to me.
Came back drunk.
...
In the next few days, Zhang Heng stayed in Dagou Town with peace of mind, either drinking with Zhang Zhentian or wandering around.
After a few days, people in the town became familiar with him. They all knew that he was the son of Zhang Daxian who came back from Nanyang. There were many smiling faces in the neighborhood.
Zhang Heng saw everything in his eyes.
When it comes to simplicity, people during the Republic of China were still simple.
In later generations, many of the neighbors would not know each other even if they lived across the street. It would not be easy to integrate into a new environment.
"Here, let me give you some candy."
It's another morning.
Zhang Heng signed in for a bag of toffee in broad daylight and handed it out to the children playing on the street.
The children cheered and ran home as if offering treasures.
Zhang Heng watched happily. In this era when supplies are scarce and many people don't have enough to eat, Dabai Toffee is a supreme delicacy.
"Brother Heng, morning!"
While entertaining himself, Zhang Heng heard someone calling him again.
Looking up, he saw Zhang DaDaDali driving a carriage to greet him at the intersection not far away.
"Bold, didn't you pick up Mr. Tan today?"
Zhang Heng walked up with a smile.
Zhang DaDa is a carriage driver in the town. He is currently working with Mr. Tan and is considered a full-time driver.
"Master Tan's salary is too low."
Zhang boldly jumped out of the car and approached Zhang Heng with an honest face: "Brother Heng, how about I follow you?"
Zhang Heng said nothing.
"Actually, it was my wife who asked me to come."
Seeing Zhang Heng didn't answer, Zhang boldly added another sentence.
"Your wife?"
Zhang Heng frowned slightly.
If he remembered correctly, Zhang Bingdao's wife was a shrewd person.
Knowing that his family was poor, he hooked up with Mr. Tan outside to relieve Zhang DaDa's burden.
"What did your wife say to you?"
Zhang Heng thought to himself: "A red apricot sticks out of the wall. Zhang's bold wife is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She won't have her thoughts set on herself, right?"
"My wife said, Mr. Heng, you are a wealthy businessman who came back from Nanyang. You make clothes with gold and silver with iron. If I can hang out with you, I will definitely have a better future than with Mr. Tan."
Zhang boldly became embarrassed as he spoke, and said with a blushing face: "I don't have that many ideas. I just know that there is no one around you to help you, and I don't have any other skills. I am just familiar with Lu. I will take you wherever you want to go."
"
Looking at Zhang DaDa, who looked honest and honest, and thinking about his future fate of ruining his family, Zhang Heng was silent for a while: "Okay, you can follow me from now on, and there is no need to go to Master Tan."
According to the story line of "Ghost Fighting Ghost", it won't be long before Zhang DaDa realizes that his wife is stealing from someone, and then goes to catch her.
Later, he was framed by Mr. Tan and was inexplicably accused of murder. He finally converted to Maoshan and became a disciple of Xu Zhenren, bidding farewell to the world of mortals.
Zhang Heng wants to come.
Zhang's bold wife cheated on her, partly because she was lonely, and partly because she had had enough hard times and didn't want to eat her last meal.
If Zhang DaDa is promising and can make money, will it change Zhang Da Da's fate?
Of course, Zhang Heng is not without selfish motives.
Zhang boldly had a pure Yang character and was born with the seed of Taoism. Even if he lost his virginity, he would not be able to compare with ordinary people. This is why Master Xu was willing to accept him as his disciple.
Ever since he knew that this was the world of "Ghost Fighting Ghost", Zhang Heng became interested in Taoism.
Putting aside whether Master Xu would accept him as his disciple or teach him the Maoshan technique, Master Qian would definitely be willing to teach him if he saw money.
Keep Zhang DaDa by your side, and you may become a good helper for him in the future.
Taking a step back is not a matter of cultivating the Tao.
Zhang DaDa is good at martial arts and can defeat five or six strong men with his bare hands. His martial arts skills may not be inferior to those of some martial arts masters, and he can ensure safety by taking him with him.
