31 Downhill
Su Chen returned from the back mountain and went to the martyr's courtyard to exchange for a token of a low-level deacon.
The low-level deacon is still a traitor, but he is one level higher than the lowest-level small traitor. He has a small right, that is, he can choose traitor tasks by himself from now on, rather than being assigned tasks by other middle- and senior deacons at will.
With this convenience, Su Chen can choose some more affordable and flexible chores to do in the future.
Although Su Chen entered the gang for eight months and broke through the lower dantian, it was not worthy of Taoism in the huge Medicine King Gang. However, it caused a small sensation in the Servant Hall. This is still rare for the Servant disciples.
Afterwards, Su Chen handed over the task of guarding the medicine field and received nine coins of silver from the accountant.
Su Chen touched these broken silvers full of copper smell and put them in his purse, making a rumbling sound, feeling an inexplicable joy and great satisfaction.
He was a little mixed with emotion.
I used to fish in the small river in Zhouzhuang. After a month of busy work, I had at most dozens of pitiful copper plates accumulated on my body.
Unexpectedly, he came to the Medicine King Gang and earned a full nine cents of silver in just three months as a small servant. It can be said that it was the first time in his life that he had earned so much money.
If you are a disciple from other halls, you are afraid you will earn more.
The disciples of the Medicine King Gang are known to be rich in Wujun, which is really a waste of time.
Su Chen stuffed the money bag containing broken silver into his arms and hid it close to his body to avoid losing his hard-earned money or being stolen.
But then again, if you really want to spend it, the silver that is less than one tael of silver is useless at all. He wishes to break the silver into two halves to use it.
Originally, Su Chen planned to go to the library to buy a low-level martial arts book, but the lowest-level martial arts secret book in the library also costs a lot of silver. Medicine books are also as expensive.
He was still missing a hundred cents of copper coins, and he couldn't afford it for the time being.
Su Chen had thought for a while and planned to go to Gusu County.
He stayed in the uninhabited Medicine King to take care of Tian Pu for three months, and he was almost completely disappointed.
Go to the bustling Gusu County Town, enjoy the popularity of the crowded places, and find some delicious snacks to satisfy your cravings.
...
Su Chen got off Yaowang Villa and left the Iron Cable Cold Bridge. In a short while, he arrived at the bustling Gusu County four or five miles away.
He bought a few delicious osmanthus cakes and stinky tofu on a street shop, which was also a reward for his hard work over the past few months. Now he has a few dollars of silver in his hand, unlike the shabby feeling that he had just come to the county town, and he doesn’t have any money on his body.
The streets of Gusu County are still as bustling as before, with bustling merchants, sedan chairs and carriages, and trucks carrying goods.
There are restaurants and tea shops on both sides of the street, and there are many rich tourists in the world.
You can see rich young men everywhere, with a few servants, stalking with local dogs for three or two days, teasing and playing with crickets and bird cages.
There were also young ladies wearing oil paper umbrellas shopping, grouped in and out of the exquisite jewelry shops, chatting excitedly and selecting their favorite jewelry and rouge powder.
There are also many small vendors carrying fresh fruits and vegetables, shouting along the street, and shouting loudly.
Su Chen walked alone on the street, relaxing and comfortable, enjoying the lively urban atmosphere.
He came to this bustling Gusu County again, walking among the bustling crowds, everything around him was so vivid, and he felt a kind of intimacy that seemed to be a different world.
Su Chen now no longer has the feeling of being alienated and stranger about this Gusu County.
He has been promoted to a low-level deacon in the Medicine King Gang and can earn some money with his own ability.
In this prosperous Gusu County, you can stand firm and you don’t have to worry about having a meal in the cold winter without the rest, being so hungry that you are dizzy and wandering.
Moreover, as a third-rate warrior, he has already crossed the lowest threshold for disciples in the martial arts world. Among the small gangs with dozens of people in the Wujun River, he can even be regarded as the number one little person, and he is no longer those inexperienced minions.
However, the Medicine King Gang has a great family and is one of the five major gangs in Wujun. There are thousands of disciples in the gang, which makes him seem to be at the bottom of the gang.
Su Chen's current situation is many times better than his displacement half a year ago.
Thinking of the fact that I had just arrived in Gusu County without any money, I was chased by a thug and a vicious dog, and was bullied by several beggars, and almost starved to death on the street. Fortunately, my good brother A Chou took him in for a night and gave him some food to survive.
Every time Su Chen thinks of this, he feels a little sad.
I don’t know what happened after A Chou left the Tianying Sect in the past eight or nine months, and whether he had laid the foundation for the lower dantian? He had an appointment with A Chou, and he would succeed in practicing in the future, and he would go on the Smiling and Proud Wanderer together.
Before he knew it, Su Chen walked leisurely to the near Tianying Inn.
In the backyard of Tianying Inn, Su Chen met the butcher Zhang, who was slaughtering pigs, the father of Senior Brother Zhang Tieniu, and politely greeted him.
Since he bid farewell to Master Li Kui, his relationship with Zhang Tieniu and other brothers has become weak. However, he and Butcher Zhang are fellow villagers, but there is another relationship.
Su Chen asked Butcher Zhang about A Chou's news, but Butcher Zhang didn't know how A Chou is doing now. He hasn't seen A Chou return to the Sky Eagle Inn in the past six months, and there is almost no news.
Su Chen couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
He thought of another thing: Butcher Zhang's wife is from Zhouzhuang and often goes back to Zhouzhuang to visit relatives. He asked Butcher Zhang to help bring five coins of silver and send it back to his hometown in Zhouzhuang to bring it to his parents.
He saved a few coins of silver on himself, and he kept the secrets of martial arts to practice in the future.
Butcher Zhang naturally agreed. He would occasionally go back to Zhouzhuang to visit relatives with his wife, and would help Su Chen take her back with him, which would be fine.
...
Su Chen came out of the Sky Eagle Inn, wandered around the streets in the city, thinking about something to do.
Suddenly, he saw dozens of feet away in front of the lively street, a twelve or three-year-old boy in gray clothes was pushing a manure truck with seven or eight manure buckets piled up on the car, walking outside the east city gate.
The boy had a blue scar on his face, his appearance was a bit ugly, and he was covered with a cloth sweat scarf on his shoulder.
Su Chen was stunned.
Isn’t that exactly Ah Chou?
"Ah Chou! It's me!"
Su Chen was surprised and quickly waved to Ah Chou.
The scarred boy heard someone calling him on the street and couldn't help but look back. Seeing Su Chen not far from the street, he was stunned, but quickly lowered his head and pushed the dung truck hard and hurried out to the east gate.
Seeing that Ah Chou ignored him, Su Chen lowered his head and covered his face. He wanted to leave, but was surprised and quickly chased after him.
He had come to Gusu County and Tianying Gate to look for A Chou a few months ago, but the Tianying Gate Hall was too big and there were many disciples in the gang, so he didn't know how to find it.
Now I finally happened to meet in the street market, so how could Ah Chou leave like this?
Su Chen quickly followed and grabbed A Chou with joy.
"A Chou! I went to Tianying Inn to find you before. Uncle Li and Uncle Zhang both said that you have entered Tianying Sect and become a disciple of Tianying Sect. I have tried to find you several times, but I have not found you. What is your situation recently?"
However, Ah Chou covered his face with a sweat towel, his eyes dodged, and his expression was a little ashamed, as if he was unwilling to recognize Su Chen.
But Su Chen was held back and couldn't leave.
Ah Chou could only put down the hand of the feces truck, wiped the sweat on his face with a towel, and forced a smile and said, "Oh, it's Brother Chen, I didn't watch it just now. I have entered the Tianying Sect now. However, the Tianying Sect's recruitment manager said that I will work for them for three years in vain in the sect first, and I will do all the rough, dirty and tiring work. After these three years, I will be a real outer disciple. Brother Chen, don't worry, I will definitely cultivate martial arts, and we brothers will go to the world together in the future!"
"Term three years of hard labor?"
Su Chen was stunned.
Carrying manure, washing clothes, etc. are the work done by servants and maids. Although the tragic disciples of the Medicine King Gang also do miscellaneous work, they take care of the fields, patrol, watch the night, etc., and do not do these things.
Forget this, I have to work hard labor for three years before entering the Tianying Sect. It’s nothing. After all, being a disciple of the Tianying Sect will be rewarded.
But Su Chen was surprised to see that under A Chou's sleeves, there were still scars of swords and sticks.
"What's going on with these scars on your body? These are wounds from the knife and stick, and many of them are from the past month. Not to mention that you fell. Someone bullied you in the Sky Eagle Gate?"
Su Chen's eyes turned cold, and he immediately turned on Ah Chou's sleeves and exposed all the scars hidden inside, which was shocking.
Some of the wounds have not even fallen off. It is not the old injury that the shopkeeper Wang of Tianying Inn beat him eight or nine months ago. It must be the injury he suffered recently.
