After the sworn vows were completed, Shen Luoxia and Zhao Zheng walked back to the Hongchen Inn together. The two walked side by side, talking and laughing, and they really looked like siblings. The woods were not far from the inn, and the two of them walked side by side. Not long after leaving, I had already returned to the backyard of the inn.
At this time, Rentuzi was fetching water from the well in the backyard. He carried the bucket outside the well and placed it on the edge of the well. When he heard someone opening the door, he looked over and saw Zhao Zheng and Shen Luo. Xia walked into the courtyard talking and laughing. Judging from the intimate behavior of the two people, it was really a bit unusual.
Rentuzi frowned and thought wildly in his mind: "Could it be that the shopkeeper fell in love with Xiao Zhao because he saw that he was handsome? No, the shopkeeper only liked rough men before, so why has his appetite changed now?"
How could Shen Luoxia know Ren Tuzi's messy thoughts? She looked at Ren Tuzi and ordered with a smile: "Ren Qianqiu, go and gather all the guys in the inn together. Every one of them counts as one." Don't be left behind, I have something important to announce."
When Rentuzi heard this and looked at Shen Luoxia's happy expression, his heart skipped a beat. As soon as he loosened his hand, the bucket fell down and fell into the well with a "plop" sound. He had a bitter look on his face. He asked dryly: "Shopkeeper, are you and Xiao Zhao getting along?"
When Shen Luoxia heard this, she raised her eyebrows and became angry. She raised her hands as if to hit the butcher, and spat: "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you crazy? Zhao Zhengxiang and I are different. You are nearly ten years old, how can you get involved in this? I asked you to gather everyone because you have something else to tell me."
"It's okay if it's not, it's okay if it's not." Rentuzi breathed a sigh of relief and ignored the bucket. He turned around and ran into the inn. Not long after, his shouts were heard in the inn, and his voice was as loud as Beat drums and gongs.
Shen Luoxia and Zhao Zheng then entered the inn and stood at the back door. Under Rentuzi's shouts, the guys in the inn all came over. Not counting Shen Luoxia and Zhao Zheng, together they had a total of Six people. When these people were called together, they were all a little confused.
The calculating Smiling Ghost Wang Er was smarter. Looking at Shen Luoxia and Zhao Zheng being so intimate, he rolled his eyes, stroked his goatee twice, and asked tentatively: "Shopkeeper, do you think you know it?" Do you want Xiao Zhao to be your younger brother?"
"You are smart, you guessed it right before I said anything." Shen Luoxia smiled with a charming smile, "I just married Jinlan to Xiao Zhao, and from now on, he is my biological brother. I called everyone here today just to announce this matter."
As soon as this statement came out, it caused quite a fuss, not because of how big the matter was, but because it was a bit sudden. After these people learned about the matter, their reactions were different. Wang Er smiled and praised Zhao Zheng for his good fortune. The butcher burst into laughter for no apparent reason. Song Kuai asked Zhao Zheng and asked endless questions. The other honest and honest cook just laughed apologetically but did not interrupt. The other two waiters were very envious of Zhao Zheng and repeatedly asked the shopkeeper if he wanted to charge more. younger brother.
The incident became more and more noisy. After a while, even the guests started to boo, threatening that the shopkeeper would hold a banquet and treat everyone to a meal. Shen Luoxia was in high spirits during happy events, although she did not agree to hold a banquet. , but promised to halve the meal and accommodation fees for all guests, and give each table a pot of daughter's red wine, which made everyone happy.
In the evening, when all the customers in the store had dispersed, Shen Luoxia called the waiters together and ordered the two cooks to prepare a table of good wine and food, taking this opportunity to celebrate her marriage to Zhao Zhengyi. .Everyone sat around the Eight Immortals table and had a good meal. Originally Zhao was not allowed to drink while eating, but today Shen Luoxia allowed him to make an exception and allowed him to drink as much as he wanted.
Zhao Zheng was the central figure today, and he was the youngest among everyone. He was inevitably responsible for toasting everyone. Half of the people here were drunkards. How could he drink against these people? It didn't take long for him to get high and his face turned red. He smelled of alcohol as he spoke.
While the food and wine were in full swing, Shen Luoxia picked up the conversation and announced: "From now on, Zhao Zheng is my brother, and is no longer just a waiter. He will no longer need to interfere with the work in the store." .You guys can temporarily take over his work and suffer a little more hardship. In a few days, I will take Zhao Zheng around the county and bring back two new waiters to save you a lot of work."
Everyone agreed and there was no objection.
Shen Luoxia turned to look at Zhao Zheng with a smile, raised her hands and put her arms around Zhao Zheng's shoulders, and said kindly: "You have been staying in this wilderness store for more than half a year, and you must have been a little tired. This time you enter the county. Here, I will take you for a nice walk, and I will also make you some new sets of clothes to wear."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. When Zhao Zheng heard that he could stay in the city for a few days, his heart immediately became hot, and a fierce light flashed in the depths of his eyes. He was worried that he would not have the chance to enter the county to kill Qian Chong, but now he finally has Opportunity. Although he has become Shen Luoxia's younger brother, he can ask Shen Luoxia to do this for him, but he doesn't want to do this, because as long as he is a man, he will not want a woman to take revenge on his behalf! More What's more, he can do this on his own, so why bother relying on the help of others.
"Sister, I really want to go to the county, and I really want new clothes, but there is no need to look for the waiter anymore. I can continue to be the waiter in this store and help the inn." Zhao Zheng said with a smile.
"How can that be possible? If you have to concentrate on practicing martial arts in the future, how can you have time to do those chores? Practicing martial arts is a big thing, it is related to your future and destiny, so you can't slack off at all. Your talent is extremely high, and your future achievements are limitless. You will definitely surpass my sister, and I can't let the chores in the inn delay you." Shen Luoxia patted Zhao Zheng's shoulder a few times and said from the bottom of her heart.
"Sheep have the kindness of kneeling down to breastfeed, and crows have the kindness of feeding back. My sister's kindness in cultivating me today, Zhao Zheng will definitely never forget it."
"I'm serious, I'm serious. It's only natural for a sister to help her brother."
Everyone was talking and laughing, and after finishing the sumptuous dinner, Shen Luoxia took Zhao Zheng's hand, claiming that she had a gift for Zhao Zheng, and took Zhao Zheng into the boudoir.
After closing the door, Shen Luoxia put her ear against the door and listened to what was going on around her. She seemed very cautious. After confirming that no one was eavesdropping, she retreated into the house and took out a metal-shaped object from her arms. Shen Luoxia handed the metal tube to Zhao Zheng and said in a low voice: "You have become my younger brother. As a sister, of course I have to give you a gift, such as gold, silver and jewelry." If you can’t get it, I’ll just give it to you.”
Zhao Zheng became curious, took the metal tube, and looked around.
The metal tube is very small, only an inch long and as thick as a finger, just like a pen. The whole thing seems to be made of bronze and glows with cyan. On the surface of the metal tube, many flower patterns are carved, with the largest flower in the center
It's a peony, and the surrounding flowers are all in the background. On the other side of the metal tube, there is an ancient and beautiful word "花" engraved on it, highlighting the origin of this thing.
There is an obvious gap in the upper part of the metal tube, which seems to be a lid that can be opened. At the bottom of the metal tube, there is a small spherical bulge, which obviously hides a mystery.
"This is..." Zhao Zheng's eyes lit up. Based on his understanding of the world, he had already guessed the origin of this object.
"This is the 'Wanhua Firecracker Container' of the Wanhua Valley Hua Family. It was given to me by my master back then. It is a token of the Wanhua Valley Hua Family. As long as you hold this thing, you can command the Hua Family members all over the world. If
If you are in danger, you can take off the cover of the 'Wanhua Firecracker Tube' and open the mechanism at the bottom, so that the gunpowder hidden inside can be shot into the sky. If there are people from Wanhua Valley nearby or people related to Wanhua Valley,
When friendly people see fireworks, they will automatically follow the fireworks and come to rescue them," Shen Luoxia explained.
There is such a special prop in the game, so Zhao Zheng guessed what it was at a glance. He was very satisfied with this gift. Although Wanhua Valley is not a huge force in the world, there are thousands of tribesmen in the valley.
, are all over the world, and there are not a few friends in the world. With this token in hand, even if it cannot save one's life in a critical moment, it can at least scare others. When others want to harm him, he has to weigh the consequences of Wanhua Valley.
For weight, hesitate.
In fact, Zhao Zheng received considerable benefits after he recognized Shen Luoxia as his sister. First, he no longer had to do chores in the inn, and became more free and easier to move; secondly, he had the opportunity to learn from Luo Yanbu.
Opportunity, this is simply too important to him; again, he has established a relationship with the famous "Flying Female Yaksha". With this relationship, it may be able to help him a lot in the future.
Now, he has obtained this very practical "Wanhua Firecracker Cone", which is equivalent to an extra treasure on his body.
"This 'Wanhua Firecracker Can' can be used three times in total. I used it once because I encountered a trouble. Now I only have two opportunities to use it. You have to make good use of it." Shen Luoxia continued to explain.
road.
"Thank you sister for the generous gift. It's a pity that I don't have anything good with me, so I can't give anything back to sister." Zhao Zheng felt a little apologetic. Although he had a "Fragrant Jade Bamboo Armor" in his warehouse, which was a very good gift, there was nothing he could do about it.
If you explain the origin clearly, there is no way you can give it away.
"What's a gift without giving something back? Just calling me sister is already a gift in return. Well, it's getting late now. You've drank so much wine, so go back to the house and go to bed. I've already asked
The room numbered 'Winter' has been vacated for you, so you can sleep in that room from now on, and you don't have to squeeze in with the waiters from other stores."
"Well, I'll take my leave then. Sister, you should go to bed early." Zhao Zheng put the Wanhua firecracker tube in his pocket, left Shen Luoxia's boudoir, and walked straight downstairs.
There were so many things that happened today that Zhao Zheng couldn't even digest them for a while. Walking on the stairs, he reorganized everything and came up with a clear plan.
Within a few days, Shen Luoxia should take him to Qibao County. Taking this opportunity, he has to do two things. One is to kill Qian Chong, and the other is to purchase enough food. Medicinal materials in order to refine the Tiger Bone Pill after returning.
Of these two things, it was not difficult to purchase the medicinal materials. He had enough silver in his own hands, and he didn't even need to ask Shen Luoxia for money. As for killing Qian Chong, they were all within his control. He was already satisfied. If all the conditions are met, as long as nothing unexpected happens, there won't be any big danger.
Zhao Zheng cleared his mind, nodded, and strode down.
In the past, all that was needed was the east wind. Now, even the east wind is blowing!
