Outside Guobei Town, it is as desolate and silent as ever, but it is rainy season, and the entire Guobei Town seems lonely.
It rained all night last night, and the roadside was full of mud and stagnant water. For most passers-by, this kind of weather is extremely annoying. However, the road has to be traveled and people have to live. God will not
Don't care about the life or death of these idiots.
It is said that the Zhou family caravan was attacked by a group of bandits last night. Later, the Xiahou swordsman chased the fleeing bandits and had no choice but to break away from the caravan. However, the next day, the rain finally stopped and the caravan arrived successfully.
Guobei Town. Young Master Zhou rarely travels far, because, except for Jinhua City, there are few places more prosperous than it. Looking at Guobei Town again, Young Master Zhou’s first impression is completely different, except for the beauty of this small town.
The population is relatively large, and the others are not worth mentioning to this pampered young master.
Guobei Town is indeed far inferior to Jinhua City. Looking at the entire Guobei Town, there is only one relatively complete block, which is considered the most prosperous place. There is only one inn in the entire town, and this inn also incorporates restaurants and teahouses. Although it has functions
It's quite a lot, but how can it be that there are only two houses in the whole house? In the eyes of Master Zhou, this is unimaginable. His family's property in Jinhua City is larger than this entire street. Of course, Master Zhou also
I'm not a pretentious person, and I don't have many requirements for these external things. So I walked to the only comfortable guest room at the back of the inn, ready to have a good rest.
"Uncle Liu, please arrange these goods first, let everyone take a rest, and then bring gifts and let's go visit Uncle Juan." The young master of the Zhou family explained the housekeeper's tasks, and then he lay on the bed without thinking about it.
The butler closed the door and exited the inn room, and went outside to arrange the guard's work and schedule.
"Butler, the two carts of goods have been packed up, and the horses have been put in place," a man from the Zhou family guard came over and told the butler.
"Okay, yes, we encountered some trouble when we came out this time. However, God still favored us and we didn't make any mistakes. Everyone performed well this time. When I get back, I will explain it to the master and give everyone credit," the housekeeper
He sincerely thanked the guards, and at the same time, he took out a few ingots of silver from his arms and handed them to the leading guard, "Use these silvers to buy some healing medicine and bandage them, and the rest will buy some wine and meat to reward everyone.
Nothing happens these days, but we can't go far away."
"Thank you, Butler Liu. You are so polite. The brothers all suffered some superficial injuries and are not serious. Fortunately, we invited the hero Xiahou this time. Otherwise, we might have fallen into the hands of a few thieves."
The leading nurse said with lingering fear, but he was telling the truth. Without Xiahou Swordsman, everyone might be in trouble.
"Well, this time is indeed thrilling, but we are all blessed and blessed. God will not let us go so easily..." The housekeeper also said with empathy. The more he thought about it, the more shocked he became. When he looked back, he thought,
But he almost fell down, and he couldn't say the next words at once, "Okay, you guys need to take a rest first, there will be a task for everyone soon."
"Yes, Butler Liu, let me take the brothers to rest first." After saying that, he turned around and went to find some of his subordinates.
"If a person doesn't work hard, what's the difference between a person and a salted fish?" The tavern in Guobei Town was as lively as ever, and the drinkers at every seat were talking loudly, as if status and class could be reflected by the loudness of the sound. In fact,
, it’s just a group of idle people who don’t know the so-called venting. No matter how much you express, you will be drowned by more voices in the next second, and then you will be forgotten. This is the meaning of the tavern, day after day
Day after day, year after year, eternity remains unchanged!
"I heard that the boy from the Ning family returned home in time for the exam," the drinkers in the tavern chatted with each other about interesting topics. Unfortunately, this small place is always a place where topics and fresh topics are exhausted. A small fresh topic
It will definitely trigger a climax of public opinion in this tavern. "The Ning family is just a single member. Even if it is elected, it will be able to bring glory to the ancestors."
"Guang Zong, Yao Zong, didn't you know some time ago that his mother just passed away? He only had such a family member left, and now, when he comes back, he can't even see his mother for the last time." A person next to him answered.
, it sounded like neighbors who knew each other. When I finished speaking, I sighed, as if I had lost a relative of my own.
"Oh? That means this guy named Ning is also a poor man. His family is ruined!" An audience member also expressed his opinion.
"Hey, you don't know, right? I heard that his house was sold to others. After his damn old lady left, he didn't even leave any money to buy a coffin. I don't know who was so kind and sold his house to someone else.
They were all sold so that his wife could be buried." An alcoholic suddenly couldn't hold back the news and broke the news.
"I've never heard of this. I don't have any relatives in the Ning family. I didn't see anyone when I was doing business. Hey, why did I see his house being moved back and forth several times, but he couldn't even see it.
Like a thief, I thought he was a relative of theirs." Everyone expressed their opinions or what they had seen and heard, and in a short time they reconstructed what happened in the past period. It was amazing.
Not to mention that the tavern of this era is truly a magical place!
But it is said that the only son of the Ning family, named Ning Caichen, is from the Jiaxing area. His family came to Guobei Town to settle down because they fled. Unfortunately, Ning Caichen's father died early, leaving only an old mother.
Ning Caichen needs to be taken care of. It is said that the Ning family is still a scholarly family. Unfortunately, the family is in a poor position, and even food and clothing are difficult to meet. Normally, Ning Caichen can earn some odd money by learning to write and paint, and even support the family.
It's not enough.
A few months ago, Ning Caichen left home in order to go to Beijing to take the exam, leaving behind an elderly mother who was entrusted to neighbors to take care of her. Unexpectedly, her mother was weak and fell seriously ill, and she passed away not long after Ning Caichen left.
. Unfortunately, sometimes reality is so cruel, and what is even more devastating is that things are not as good as people wish. This Ning Caichen had a lot of knowledge, but when he needed to be named on the gold list, he failed. After Ning Caichen learned that he had failed,
He rushed home without stopping, but he didn't expect the bad news to hit his head one after another.
Many people will summarize the stories of a lifetime, some are happy and some are worried, and some people sum up the four happiest things in life: sweet dew after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, and the inscription on the gold medal. But for Ning Caichen.
, the beautiful life that he should have expected suddenly fell to the bottom of the well, and his whole person collapsed into a mess. For this nerd, these waves of blows made him unable to believe in the beauty of the world anymore. If he let go
In real society, it is estimated that most people will become cynical terrorists who seek revenge on society.
A few days ago, Jie finally received a side mission and went to Guobei County to hunt down bandits.
"Subplot: Eliminate the remnants of bandits from Jinhua City to Guobei Town. If you complete any task, you can receive corresponding rewards at any government agency in the world."
"Complete the mission space reward: 500 general reincarnation points, 1 skill point"
"The mission failed, the corresponding reincarnation points will be deducted"
