In the long sea of clouds, there is no end to the vicissitudes of life.
The young man, who was also wearing a white robe and carrying a baggage, but whose name had changed from Ergou to Fuyu, no longer had the same high spirits as when he first came out of the valley.
Standing at the mouth of the valley, Jiang Ergou, whose weapon had changed from a Kunwu knife to a bronze sparrow sword, was not in a hurry to leave. He could suddenly understand how the old man felt when he came out of the valley.
He glanced back, and Gu Xiaofenying seemed particularly abrupt at this moment.
"Master, when you said that there is nothing good about this world, you can't even drink wine to enjoy yourself. My apprentice didn't understand it at the beginning, but when he understands it today, he can't help himself."
With the same concern as Wang Xuanlang back then, Jiang Ergou turned around and walked out of the valley. At that time, Wang Xuanlang once said: It is better to be young and have no regrets or worries.
But now that the boy has memories and concerns in his heart, is he no longer a boy?
You're still young, but you're just getting older!
In Yuzhou, on the official road that the sloppy old man walked with Ergou, he saw the familiar two-story restaurant from a distance. It can be said that his career with Ergou began here.
Everyone says that people are more timid when they are close to home. Ergou felt this most deeply when he first returned to the valley, but now he is seeing old things and missing old feelings, and the feeling is not good.
Walking into the restaurant, Ergou relied on the memories deep in his mind to sit in the same seat. The table was no longer the same table a few years ago, and it was unknown whether it was ruined by those heroes who drank to their heart's content.
in hand.
Ergou also thought of the two knights he met here who were skilled in family martial arts.
"My name is Luo Xiaogou, and my name is taken from Xiaoyue Cangou, a martial arts passed down from my family!"
"Hey, objectively, your food is all here."
Just when Ergou was still stuck in his memories, the waiter in charge of passing the order brought him back to his thoughts.
The first time I went out with that old man to travel around the world was extremely miserable. Not to mention the beautiful clothes and beautiful clothes, even the food and drinks were not available.
He still remembered that the two masters and apprentices seemed to owe the innkeeper a meal.
"Boy, please bring me another pot of Huadiao. In addition, when I stopped here a few years ago, I owed money for a meal because I was short of money. Let's make up for it together today."
With that said, Ergou took out the money from his pocket and put it on the table. The waiter looked at the money with some embarrassment. A few years ago? This man was probably not a fool! If you don't take the initiative to mention it, who would know.
"this…"
After scratching the back of his head hesitantly, the waiter finally took the money and went to the back to find the shopkeeper.
And not long after, the manager of the hotel came over personally carrying two pots of Huadiao.
"This young hero looks very unfamiliar!"
Ergou Wenyan smiled.
"I came here to eat Bawang Dinner. Naturally, I didn't dare to leave a deep impression on the shopkeeper. Otherwise, I might not have been able to leave at that time."
The shopkeeper looks more prosperous than he did a few years ago. Perhaps because of his all-around skills and clever skills, his restaurant has expanded to a certain extent over the years.
He walked to Ergou's table and sat down, putting the wine tray on the table and laughing.
"Young hero, why should you be in trouble? We will inevitably encounter difficulties when we travel in the world. If you can help us, it will be a big help. Maybe that day will be the day when the good will come to fruition. If the young hero was willing to tell the inconvenience in the first place, maybe
I will also give you some dry food."
Having said this, the shopkeeper took two wine glasses and put them on the table and filled them with wine.
"Actually, I don't even know how many people have owed food money here, but you are the first to pay back the money. You don't have much money, but I accepted it shamelessly. Then pay for the food.
It’s the rules of the world, and we should abide by them and not exceed them, but the extra pot of Huadiao is what I treat you to drink. It doesn’t matter if you can’t finish it. I’ll ask the chef to find a wine gourd to put on the road later.
Drink, the mountains are high and the water is long. When you are tired from walking, you can feel comfortable by drinking some wine."
After having a drink with Ergou, the shopkeeper said goodbye and left. This was the busiest time of the day, so naturally he, the shopkeeper, had to keep an eye on it!
…
After eating the meal, Ergou, who had a gourd hanging around his waist, stood outside the inn in a daze. In such a big world, he actually had an absurd feeling that he had nowhere to go.
"That brat Li Yao still owes me a meal of rice wine! I have to go to Maple Leaf City first."
He said he was thinking about the rice wine, but he didn't want to think about where the wine came from. If it weren't for the fact that there was a woman who haunted him, would he be in a hurry to drink the wine?
Turning around, Ergou put the sword on his shoulders, and his pace began to become brisk. If there weren't too many people on the road, he might have just flown with the sword.
…
In Maple Leaf City, the overripe red maples all over the city are swaying and falling in the autumn wind, and finally become silent in the dust.
"Friend, I would like to ask if there is a justice escort agency in Maple Leaf City."
Next to the wide road, after Ergou wandered around the huge Maple Leaf City but almost got lost, he finally knew how to find someone to ask for directions.
The passerby whom he stopped looked at him in disbelief.
"Coming from out of town?"
After Ergou nodded, the man looked stunned at first, and then felt smug about his wisdom and martial prowess.
"Let me just say, if you are a local, I can understand if you don't know where the county and county offices are, but how can you not know where the Justice Escort Bureau is? Ever since Qin Yi of the Justice Escort Bureau broke through to the third-level realm, this county
I'm the one in the city who doesn't know, who doesn't know, I..."
"Friend, you just need to tell me where the Justice Escort Agency should go."
Seeing that the man was about to continue talking, Ergou interrupted him with a smile on his face. If this was the beginning, he would have to find a hotel where he could talk for three days and three nights.
Seeing that his words were interrupted, the man originally wanted to let it go, but the kid in front of him was still sensible, smiled with a smile on his face, and kept his posture low.
"Go in not far ahead and turn the corner. It's the one with the biggest brand name and the widest area in Baiwu Alley!"
He pointed angrily, and the man waved his sleeves and walked away, looking a little unhappy. Ergou laughed and walked in the direction the man pointed.
Baiwu Alley was said to be an alley, but when Ergou walked in, he realized what it meant. The streets of this alley were much wider than any other street he had walked in Maple Leaf City before.
The reason why such wide streets were built was mainly because there were many martial arts gyms opened here. The owners of these martial arts gyms did not choose to practice martial arts in the gyms, but instead took their disciples to stand all over the street.
For those who want to practice martial arts, they will not be tempted no matter how hype you say. Only when they see your genuine Kung Fu martial arts skills will they spend money to sign up.
As for secretly learning, this does not exist. Most kung fu techniques have a set of inner martial arts that match them. Without the personal teaching and guidance of the master, it would be difficult for outsiders to understand them clearly.
When Ergou walked into the alley, many martial arts schools saw the bronze bird sword on his waist, so immediately the leading disciples of each martial arts school came towards him with their junior brothers.
"Does this young hero want to practice swordsmanship? We have all kinds of peerless sword manuals and brilliant sword moves in the Wanxiang Tower. Some of them are even expected to reach the third level when practiced to a high level. The chief swordsman in our Wanxiang Tower is
A fourth-grade swordsman is very famous in Maple Leaf City!"
"This young hero, don't listen to his nonsense. That swordsman is a real fourth-grade man, but he is already an old man in his eighties. Whether he can still hold the sword is another matter. You should come to us for nine years.
Sword Pavilion, we are all swordsmen here. We can compare and exchange experiences in our free time. The most important thing is that our master is in his prime. He just broke through to the fourth level last year. I see that you are destined to keep you here.
You can get personal instruction from the owner!”
"Young hero..."
Before Ergou could say a word, people from seven or eight sword halls had already come to recruit him, and they surrounded him from three levels inside and three outside.
These people had different words but similar meanings. They all promoted themselves and belittled others. Some even started practicing on the spot.
And behind these people, the so-called masters of sword masters and others stood in front of their own martial arts halls with a clear air of dignity. They had a rather masterful demeanor. It has to be said that if they are ordinary rookies who have entered the martial arts world, they will definitely
They will be deceived.
After much effort, Ergou finally squeezed out from the enthusiastic group of people. This scene made the sword masters of the martial arts schools behind them a little disappointed.
This made them all feel a little emotional. These days, even those young people who have just entered the world are hard to deceive. It seems that it will be increasingly difficult to support their families by recruiting apprentices in the future.
Walking to the busiest section of Baiwu Lane, Ergou finally saw the lavish gold-edged plaque with the four characters "Justice Escort Agency" written on it.
.
From this, Ergou can see that his brother Qin really has the capital to dominate Maple Leaf City.
Arriving in front of the door, Ergou followed the flow of people and walked into the escort agency. People were coming and going inside the door, and there was an endless stream of people coming to escort the escorts, and they filled the entire lobby.
No wonder people always heard on the road that this Justice Escort Agency was almost squeezing out the other escort agencies in Maple Leaf City. Now that I saw this scene, I realized that what they said was true.
"Hehe, let me tell you, I made more than forty taels during this trip. Tonight, I will arrange ten pounds of soy beef and ten years of rice wine for you!"
Suddenly, Ergou heard a familiar voice, it was Li Yao who owed him a meal of rice wine.
It's just that there were too many people, so Li Yao didn't see Jiang Ergou for the first time. After staying in the Justice Escort Agency for so many years, Li Yao can now be regarded as a veteran. Now when he travels, there are naturally many people following him.
Young brother, looking at his complacent look, he seems to be enjoying himself very much.
Without any warning, Ergou quietly watched Li Yao walking towards him. The moment Li Yao passed him, Li Yao, who was walking quickly with the crowd cheering him up, stopped.
pace.
Li Yao took a few steps back and stood in front of Ergou. He seemed a little unsure after not seeing him for many years.
"Two dogs?"
It wasn't until Jiang Ergou, who looked like a different person in front of him, smiled and nodded that Li Yao's uncertainty turned into surprise in an instant.
"Er Gou! It's really you!"
Li Yao's voice was not deliberately concealed. Almost everyone in the Justice Escort Bureau heard it, and then, there were screams of surprise in the Escort Bureau.
"Two dogs!"
"Really two dogs!"
Most of these people are those who walked through that period of time with Ergou, and now most of them have become the pillars of the Justice Escort Agency.
Those with poor martial arts skills stayed in the escort agency and became stewards, while those with better martial arts skills took charge of their own darts and became the escort leaders.
Hearing these calls, Ergou felt a lot of warmth in his heart. After the old man left, he finally felt like he was home.
"Er Gou! Just wait, Brother Qin is inside. You go find him yourself. I'll buy some wine right now!"
As he spoke, Li Yao and his gang of boys ran out of the escort agency. It seemed that without the rice wine, Ergou would disappear in the next second.
Before being escorted into the lobby, Ergou saw Qin Yi walking out of the room with an excited face.
After not seeing each other for many years, Qin Yi's originally dark face was much fairer than before, but his body bones had not lost weight and he was still very strong.
After walking out, he punched Ergou in the chest. He didn't know where to start with so many words at this moment.
"good!"
Then, he put Ergou into his arms. Qin Yi, who had never been able to hug his wife in his life, felt at this moment that Ergou was his own wife.
After a long time, Qin Yi finally released his hold on Ergou and patted him on the shoulder.
"Xuejian is in the backyard, go find her yourself."
"Um."
After nodding his head, Ergou looked at the people around him and walked into the house. However, while walking, he vaguely heard what Qin Yi said outside.
"Every guest has seen that my brother is going home today, so he will not do business next time! All the guests who are entrusting escorts, please come back tomorrow. All orders owed by our Justice Escort Agency today will be discounted at 20% tomorrow."
…
After passing through the courtyard, Ergou walked to the deepest part of the escort agency. In a courtyard with a huge red maple tree, he saw the woman who had made him miss him day and night.
The woman's face was still as frosty as when they first met, and she was wearing a tight white skirt that outlined her perfect curves. At this moment, she seemed to be thinking about something to the point of trance, even someone walked into her yard
She didn't notice it either.
However, no one dared to enter her yard before. Except for her brother, everyone was whipped without exception.
Ergou had already thought of thousands of words to say when he met Qin Xuejian again, but now he felt a little embarrassed.
He tiptoed to the ground, and in one step he reached the branch of the red maple tree and landed on top of the woman's head.
Looking at the delicate face of the woman at his feet, Ergou lost consciousness for a moment and said softly.
