In addition to picking up some strange things, the old man likes to find some drinks to satisfy his cravings. As for those valuable goods, gold and silver, the old man has no interest at all.
This person dresses like a beggar all year round, is homeless, and lives on the streets, but he never steals, let alone begs on the street.
On weekdays, when the weather is nice, I look for wild fruits outside the town to satisfy my hunger, dig some herbs, pick up some valuable gadgets, or miscellaneous strange things that no one knows.
Every once in a while, the old man will set up a small stall in an unobtrusive place on the street. The items he sells are some of the things he has collected, and most of them are gadgets made by himself, mostly ornaments and dolls.
It means great wealth, prosperous business, prosperous family business, etc. There are also calligraphy and paintings from his own handwriting.
When he was not interested in doing business, or when an adventure party wanted to go out to hunt monsters in the wilderness, he would always follow them shamelessly.
However, this strange old man will not disturb others. Instead, he will do whatever he can in his power, such as looking out, doing odd jobs, running errands, carrying goods, etc., in exchange for food that he does not often eat, and for a change of taste.
Teams with good hearts will also reward the elders with some spirits.
In this way, the old man has been living in Shuangqi Town for decades. No one can tell exactly how many years this strange old man has been here.
Lujia Liquor, the oldest long-established wine shop in Shuangqi Town, the late shopkeeper had been wandering around the town when he was young. To this day, no one can tell his origins.
There is a story about the Lu Family Restaurant among the elders. At that time, the drinks at the Lu Family Restaurant were just average, the food tasted just so so, and the merchants who came and went rarely came back to patronize it.
Business became slow, and Shopkeeper Lu was also very anxious at that time. He was so anxious that he couldn't find any good solution.
Once, when the demon clan was at war with the Yan Kingdom, a group of refugees came back from outside the border. Shopkeeper Lu was kind-hearted, so he used his meager money to give porridge outside the town.
As a result, the storm passed and the refugees returned to their hometowns. The old man came to visit and gave the old shopkeeper a homemade wind chime. He said that this thing would make the Lu family wine shop prosperous, but the old shopkeeper only regarded it as a joke.
The wind chime looks really good. The old shopkeeper kept it according to the wishes of the patriarch and hung it above the door.
And from then on, the old shopkeeper gave the elder some dishes every day as a reward for the elder's gift.
As a result, since then, the business of Lujia Restaurant has been getting better and better, and the quality of the drinks and dishes has been getting better and better.
As time went by, the old shopkeeper secretly pondered that the chefs in his shop had not been changed, but the dishes he cooked had become more delicious. The winery where he bought the wine had not been changed, but the wine tasted different when it came to his place, so he decided that the old man must
Very human.
Before the old shopkeeper passed away, he repeatedly told his son that he must treat the old man well and do some good deeds within his ability.
After the old shopkeeper left, the current middle-aged shopkeeper Lu, who was new to running the business, was young and energetic, changed the previous rules of the old shopkeeper when he was in charge again, changed the chef, changed the wine shop where the wine is brought in, and renovated the store.
Naturally, the prices of drinks and dishes in the store have also increased a lot.
After a period of time, the business of the Lu family's wine shop became increasingly stagnant. Soon, the demon tribe started to cause chaos, and another misfortune occurred in the border areas.
Shopkeeper Lu believed that these matters should be dealt with by the government, so he took care of himself and refused to give porridge to the victims.
As a result, after the incident, the business of the Lu family restaurant suddenly became depleted. After sitting on the empty table, the young shopkeeper Lu became anxious. Remembering his father's last words, he had to bite the bullet and invite the original cook back in exchange for the original wine.
From time to time, small favors are given to people in need.
Over time, the business of the Lujia Winery became better and better. In response, the young shopkeeper of the Lujia Winery treated the old man as a guest, but the old man acted crazy and ignored him.
For more than ten years, shopkeeper Lu has always secretly found people to patronize the elder's business, and paid teams willing to take the elder out to take special care of the elder.
It is interesting to say that as long as that team is willing to take the veteran leader to take risks, it will definitely gain a lot, and there will always be a near miss. This situation has led to many teams being willing to pay high prices to invite the veteran leader to go out together.
As a result, the old man hid instead and refused to show up. This old man with a strange temper was capricious and sometimes deliberately teased people. He came and went again and again, and the locals had become accustomed to this.
Zhao Feng defeated the demon envoy and drove away the demon master Mulig. Soon Zheng Gong learned the news and hurriedly contacted the highest official to guard Zou Jing.
"Gong Zheng, are you serious about this?"
"Gong Zheng dare not lie to others!"
"That's very good. I agree to all this person's requests and our town guard will rush to Shuangqi Town as soon as possible."
Zheng Gong did not expect that his boss Zou Jing would come to Shuangqi Town in person. He was frightened and said, "Zheng Gong, I can't guarantee that this person will stay in Shuangqi Town."
"Huh, stupid. Since he proposed to live in that land temporarily, how could he leave!"
"But, where is Lijiacun?"
Faced with the request to guard Zou Jing, Zheng Gong did not dare to talk nonsense and take over everything. He was just a school lieutenant, a middle- and lower-level military attache of the Yan Kingdom.
Military attachés at the level of Zheng Gong have a very embarrassing position. If they make a mistake or their superiors make excuses at will, they may be killed at any time.
Zou Jing was well aware of the reason. Faced with his subordinate Zheng Gong who did not dare to take a step beyond his reach, his expression was stern and his words were as sharp as ever.
"Gong Zheng, I ordered you to find a solution yourself. Something went wrong. Be careful about the head on your neck."
After finishing his report, Gong Zheng looked sad and had no intention of dealing with official duties. He returned to his residence in the inner courtyard of the government office and lay on the bed without saying a word. He stared at the roof and sighed.
"Gong Zheng, Gong Zheng, you are a small official in a border town. Why did you come to Shuangqi Town to become a school captain in order to get promoted and make a fortune?"
"Well, now it's hard to get off the tiger, and death is on the left and right. It's better to abandon the official position and run away."
Zheng Gong's real difficulty does not come from his big boss, the guard Zou Jing, but from the local local snakes Lijiacun and other villages on their respective sides.
Although these local tycoons do not display official positions on the surface, they actually hold the power of life and death in the local area.
Because of the special nature of the border town, Lijia Village and other villages controlled the money, food, and population of several counties and towns around Shuangqi Town. If they wanted to change these two things, the guard Zou Jing was powerless, not to mention that Zheng Gong was just a
A young military attache who is not popular and has no background.
Guarding Zou Jing could temporarily allow Zhao Feng to live in and even have jurisdiction over the land south of Shuangqi Town with a stroke of his pen, but Zheng Gong did not dare to agree.
In the villages headed by Lijiacun, Zheng Gong had seen how terrifying these local snakes were.
