"Then thank you, Manager Zhang." Xi Zhong thanked him with a smile.
"You're welcome, we are all from the same school." Manager Zhang waved his hand.
Immediately he rubbed his hands and asked in a low voice: "May I ask what the relationship between Junior Brother Xi Zhong and that Hu Bufu is?"
Manager Zhang wanted to find out the relationship between Xi Zhong and the disciple of the sect leader.
Decide how to get along with Xi Zhong according to the situation.
If Xi Zhong is just a servant who pretends to be powerful, then he will take back his previous words.
If Xi Zhong and Hu Bubu were very good friends, then he would have to think carefully about how to please Xi Zhong.
When Xi Zhong heard this, he knew that Manager Zhang was making a clever calculation, so he smiled and said, "Go back to Manager Zhang, Hu Bubu is my cousin."
"Ah!" Manager Zhang's eyes bulged, then returned to normal, nodded with a smile, and said: "I see, that's it..."
At the same time, I was shocked in my heart.
I originally thought that Xi Zhong was just a friend of Hu Bufu, but he turned out to be a relative!?
It seems that I can no longer offend Xi Zhong in the future.
"Since Manager Zhang has already asked, is it time for me to ask some questions?" Xi Zhong asked with a smile.
It feels good to have someone to back me up.
If it had been me before, I guess Manager Zhang would have been so groveling, and he would have been kicked out as soon as he walked in.
I have to say that no matter which world you are in, there are always three, six or nine levels.
When Manager Zhang heard Xi Zhong say that he had something to ask, he smiled and said, "Junior Brother Xi Zhong, feel free to ask. As long as I know anything, I can tell you."
"In that case, I would like to thank Manager Zhang first." Xi Zhong paused and asked: "Then, I would like to ask, what are the details of the mountain behind Qingxiu Mountain where we collect herbs? Is there a map? Yes.
A place without danger?"
Next, Xi Zhong and Li Ping'er should be collecting herbs at Qingxiu Mountain.
So Xi Zhong must first understand this back mountain.
Because this back mountain is said to be connected to the Hundred Thousand Mountains, it is extremely vast and has a vast territory, so it must be understood first.
At least I need to ask for a map, right?
In fact, Xi Zhong could have asked Manager Zhang for an easier job.
For example, go to the outer canteen and work as a logistics worker distributing food.
For example, go to the Green Garden and become a flower gardener.
But Xi Zhong did not choose this, but chose to collect herbs, a job that was not tiring but not relaxing.
There are two reasons.
The first reason is that the manager of the outer cafeteria is not dealing with him. The Green Garden is said to be a venue that the elder woman in green likes, and she doesn't like him, so there is no need for him to be beaten.
The second reason is that Xi Zhong wanted to expand the map.
After summing up the above two reasons, Xi Zhong chose the vast back mountain.
"About the back mountain..." Manager Zhang looked stunned, then lowered his head and rummaged through the drawer.
Xi Zhong stood aside, not in a hurry.
After rummaging for a long time, Manager Zhang finally took out a yellowed map from the drawer.
He handed the map to Xi Zhong and said with a smile: "This is the map of the back mountain. But one thing I have to remind Junior Brother Xi Zhong is that this map only depicts the peripheral area of the back mountain. As for the back mountain
There is no description of the depths, because no one from the outer gate has been to the depths. If Junior Brother Xi Zhong wants a more detailed map, he has to go to the inner gate to ask for help. The inner gate still has a detailed map of the back mountain.
of.."
Xi Zhong took the map and put it directly into his arms without looking at it.
Xi Zhong smiled and said: "Then can you ask Manager Zhang to tell me some other information about Houshan?"
"Of course it's possible." Manager Zhang said with a smile. "Junior Brother Xi Zhong, sit down."
Xi Zhong was not polite and directly found a stool and sat down.
It’s a joke, I have a backer now, so I can be more arrogant.
Seeing Xi Zhong sit down unceremoniously, Manager Zhang was not angry at all. Instead, he became more and more convinced that Xi Zhong was Hu's disobedient cousin.
If Xi Zhong's words are false and he dares to do this, the consequences will be serious.
And Xi Zhong doesn't look like a stupid person, so his words shouldn't be a lie.
"This back mountain, there is nothing to talk about on the outside. The only things that can threaten you, Junior Brother Xi Zhong, are just some wild beasts. Of course, they rarely attack people on their own initiative. As long as you don't mess with them, they won't attack you.
, but it is inevitable that you will have bad luck, so I suggest that Junior Brother Xi Zhong try to avoid the wild beasts on the outskirts of the back mountain to collect medicine. The map is marked with spots where wild beasts frequently appear. Avoid those places. Generally speaking,
There is no danger in speaking." Manager Zhang said with a smile.
"Do our outer disciples all have this map?" Xi Zhong asked.
Manager Zhang shook his head, "Other outer disciples don't have that."
Then he lowered his voice and said: "Junior brother Xi Zhong, we will not talk secretly. I believe you have also seen that our outer sect says it is a place specially for low-level disciples to practice. In fact, it is not. To put it bluntly,
It’s just a place to do errands. There are no high-level people, and there are no cultivation resources. Of course, I’ll tell you these things, brother, so don’t make it public."
Xi Zhong smiled and nodded, "Manager Zhang, I still know these things well, and I'm not stupid."
"That's very good." Manager Zhang nodded with a smile and said, "Then I will continue to tell you. This back mountain is connected to Shiwanda Mountain and is connected to the inner gate. Therefore, this back mountain is full of spiritual energy and has many surroundings.
There are many precious herbs. Of course, there are even more precious herbs deep in the inner mountains, but there are also spiritual beasts inside. Those spiritual beasts have high and low realms. These are not ordinary beasts. They have high or low levels.
There are low levels of cultivation and even spiritual intelligence. In the depths of the inner mountain, I don’t recommend that you, Junior Brother Xi Zhong, wander in. It’s best to just hang around leisurely on the outside.”
"Okay." Xi Zhong smiled and said, "Thank you, Manager Zhang, for the disclosure."
Manager Zhang waved his hand, indicating not to worry.
"In that case, should I resign first?"
"Go on, remember to come to me tomorrow to receive the task. There is no way around it. Every registered disciple must complete the task. You must not be lazy, otherwise the higher-ups will find out and blame you. So I hope Junior Brother Xi Zhong can understand."
"Well, of course I won't embarrass you, Manager Zhang. This little thing is understandable."
"Wait, Junior Brother Xi Zhong, come here first. I have a few hares here. A disciple just honored me. Anyway, I can't eat that many by myself. Can you take two back?"
"Manager Zhang, you are so polite. Then...I won't be polite?"
"..."
After taking two steps, Xi Zhong came back again.
Manager Zhang asked in confusion: "Junior Brother Xi Zhong, what else is there?"
Xi Zhong said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Manager Zhang, I have no salt or oil... Look..."
"..." Manager Zhang twitched the corner of his mouth, and then waved his hand, "There is firewood, rice, soy sauce, and salt in the room inside. You can take it yourself!"
"Then thank you, Manager Zhang." Xi Zhong walked towards the back room carrying the rabbit.
After walking out of the house, Xi Zhong grinned.
It feels so cool to have the feeling of being backstage.
Manager Zhang, who was originally arrogant and arrogant, had to lower his attitude and talk to himself.
Of course, despite being happy, Xi Zhong still did not forget his original intention.
If you keep relying on your trap, you will never get ahead.
You must become stronger.
You must find a way to possess spiritual roots.
It's just that I have no choice but to do it now.
When walking back to the thatched cottage, Xi Zhong said hello to Li Ping'er, and then went to fetch water.
After fetching the water, he took out his knife and treated the hare.
Xiao Ping'er squatted beside him and watched Xi Zhong handling the hare blankly.
Xi Zhong smiled and said: "Xiao Ping'er, the rabbit is so cute, how can you kill it? Just let your brother do this kind of thing. Don't look at it."
As a result, Xiao Ping'er shook his head and looked straight at the hare.
Xi Zhong saw carefully that drool was flowing from the corner of this little girl's mouth.
Xi Zhong twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that this aunt might also be a ruthless person in the future.
In the past few days, Xi Zhong and Li Ping'er have been eating in the outer canteen. Although there is meat, the taste is really unpleasant.
Let’s eat meat today.
I lit a fire in front of the thatched cottage, went to the bamboo forest next to it, cut some bamboo sticks, skewered the plump hare, and roasted it on the fire.
After roasting for a while, the aroma of rabbit meat began to spread.
at this time.
Li Ping'er already had her eyes wide open, staring intently at the rabbit meat on the fire.
Xi Zhong couldn't laugh or cry.
Is the emotional bottle still a foodie?
Finally, Xi Zhong sprinkled the oil, salt and cumin on it, and a fragrant roasted hare was completed.
Xi Zhong took off a plump rabbit leg and first handed it to Li Ping'er, who was already drooling.
"Thank you, brother Xi Zhong!" Li Ping'er happily took the rabbit leg and started eating it in small bites.
Because the rabbit's legs were too hot, the little bottle exhaled while eating. It looked so cute.
Xi Zhong smiled and shook his head, thinking, if he had a sister, it would be like this, right?
Xi Zhong picked up another rabbit leg and started to chew on it.
Both of them were very hungry, so the plump hare was eaten in a short time.
Li Ping'er licked her little finger with unfinished content.
Xi Zhong laughed loudly, "I didn't expect you, Xiao Ping'er, to be a foodie."
Li Ping'er blushed and waved quickly, "I..."
"It's okay." Xi Zhong rubbed Xiao Ping'er's head and said with a smile: "In front of brother Xi Zhong, you can eat whatever you want and how you want, no need to worry."
As a result, Xiao Ping'er broke away from Xi Zhong's hand, looked dissatisfied, pouted and said: "Brother Xi Zhong, the oil on your hand got into my hair!"
Xi Zhong couldn't laugh or cry again.
But in my heart I fell in love with this little girl even more.
It feels like I have adopted a younger sister.
At the same time, this also made Xi Zhong's determination to protect her even stronger.
Regardless of whether she has thighs in the future, I should protect her.
