6 Going to the rivers and lakes

As the sky was getting dark, the backyard of Tianying Inn began to get busy. The sound of a butcher sharpening his knife came from the large yard, and the sound of pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks bleating. The guys who were doing odd jobs helped several chefs in the yard.

Several chefs were preparing dishes and scolding the clumsy guys.

An old man of firefighting man rubbed cold red hands and pushed open the door of the woodshed room, moved a few sleepy wood and straw to the kitchen to cook. When he saw Su Chen sleeping in the woodshed room, he couldn't help but be surprised, "Oh, Brother Chen is here too today. He came to play with A Chou, but he didn't go back to Zhouzhuang? It's cold and the firewood room can't sleep soundly!"

Su Chen was awakened by the sound of the old man who was fired, and quickly emerged from the warm straw pile, and greeted the old man who was scared to the old man who was fired, "Uncle Li! I've been cooking so early!"

He often followed the fishermen from Zhouzhuang to Tianying Inn to sell fish goods, so most of the inns recognized him.

Su Chen quickly woke up Ah Chou who was asleep on the side.

"It's getting late, and in a while, the shopkeeper will come."

The old man Li of the Huofu smiled politely, turned around and saw A Chou still sleeping in the woodshed, and couldn't help but curse: "A Chou, you lazy guy, can't get up to work! When the big shopkeeper comes later, you will have to break your ears when you haven't gotten up to work!"

Ah Chou also woke up. He heard the old man who was scolding and crawling out of the straw nest. He hummed unconvincedly: "Old Li, don't look down on me. From now on, I won't be angry with you. I will go to the world and go to the Sky Eagle Sect. In the future, I will learn martial arts and become a great man in the world. Not to mention you, Old Li, even if the shopkeeper sees me, he will have to call me "Ugly" respectfully! See if he dares to beat me up, pull my ears!"

"Oh, I haven't even killed a chicken, and I'm still learning from others to go to the world. How many of your heads are enough to be chopped? If you have the ability, say this in front of the shopkeeper, and see if he doesn't slap you to death. Butcher Zhang is killing pigs. Go and try to kill a pig? If you dare to kill pigs, don't wait, I'll call you ugly now!"

The old man Huofu shook his head and was funny. He didn't believe A Chou's words at all. He just thought that A Chou had heard too many stories about the world told by the storytellers on the street and was fascinated. He took the firewood out and went to the stove in the backyard to cook.

"snort!"

When Ah Chou thought of the vicious spirit of the shopkeeper, he was immediately a little depressed and did not dare to boast about it again.

Su Chen was not hit by Old Li's words. Seeing that it was dawn, he thought to go to the Medicine King Gang early and quickly pushed the wood door out of the woodshed.

The eaves outside the room and the ground in the backyard of Tianying Inn are covered with a thin layer of white snow.

The wind was strong last night, and there was a heavy snowfall at some point. The world was completely refreshed. The eaves were covered with white space, covered with silver and were particularly enchanting.

Unfortunately, the snow in the backyard in front of me had long been stepped on into messy mud by Butcher Zhang, the chef, the servants, and the pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks in the yard.

Su Chen was thin, wearing a thin short shirt, and a pair of torn straw sandals with toes exposed under his feet. When the cold wind in the morning was blown, he suddenly felt a burst of bumps and trembled all over his body.

Ah Chou followed him out, sneezing in the cold wind, and shrank his hands and feet in the cold.

In the big yard, Butcher Zhang, his fat son Zhang Tieniu, and several adult helpers were rushing a fat pig that was running around, tied it upside down on a wooden stand.

Three or four adult helpers took the hard work to tie the fat pig to death on the wooden frame.

The fat pig seemed to know his fate that he was about to be slaughtered. His four hooves struggled desperately, screaming shrillly.

Butcher Zhang did not dare to neglect, and he raised his knife and slashed the fat pig's throat accurately with one knife. The fat pig was whispering, and the dazzling bright red pig blood splattered everywhere, which was particularly dazzling on the snow.

Su Chen was shocked by the fierce sound of killing pigs and did not dare to look at it. He felt panic in his heart and his eyebrows were even more powerful.

Old Li was right. He and A Chou had never even killed a chicken. He took a knife to kill a pig and his hands and feet were weak and trembling, let alone rushing into the world.

It is so difficult to break through the world of the world that killing people is as difficult as killing this stupid pig.

Su Chen's lips were pale.

However, he was homeless and had no way out. He had a strange disease on his body and needed medicine to prolong his life. He could only go forward and take the Medicine King Gang, which was his best way out.

Or you can compete in the world to make a name for yourself and have a prosperous future.

Either he died and no one collected the body on the street, and he died silently, even more desolate than this fat pig.

Su Chen glanced at A Chou and asked him in his eyes if he regretted it, whether he wanted to stay in the inn?

Ah Chou immediately patted his thin chest and said with great firmness on his face: "Brother Chen, don't say much! I have made up my mind to join Tianying Sect and become a great hero in the world. Whoever advises me to be anxious."

If it were the last two days, he would have just stayed in the inn as a young man, and he never thought about going to go out into the world. That world was too far away from him, a young man.

But last night, I had been tempted and a storm of dying with Su Chen for a night, and a storm of dying flames ignited.

Longing to become a superior person one day and gain a great fortune, this impulse can no longer be suppressed. How could he continue to stay in this inn with no future?

Su Chen nodded vigorously and was about to leave the backyard with A Chou. Suddenly, he saw the figure of the shopkeeper Wang outside the backyard gate.

Su Chen was shocked.

This shopkeeper Wang is not ordinary, and he can't rub any sand in his eyes. He is afraid that A Chou will be implicated, so he hurried back to the woodshed to hide, so as not to be scolded by the shopkeeper because of himself.

Ah Chou's face also changed drastically and he was panicked.

Although he was determined to leave, the great shopkeeper's power was still there and he did not dare to offend the bad luck of the big shopkeeper. Ah Chou hurriedly grabbed an old hen in the yard, pretending to be helping the chef catch chickens and slaughter the chickens to show that he was not lazy.

On weekdays, shopkeeper Wang is very harsh on the guys, either beating or scolding him, and no one in Tianying Inn dares to contradict him.

Manager Wang walked into the backyard with a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy in fine clothes and gorgeous clothes, with a big belly, and majestic appearance.

Manager Wang did not notice A Chou, and did not scold any of the guys in a normal manner. He smiled at the chefs and guys in the yard and said, "Guys, Tianying Gate is going to recruit apprentices today. This manager is going to take his son to join the recruitment of inner disciples. You all work hard in the inn. If my son can pass the assessment and enter the inner door, I will give you half a pound of rice, flour and two taels of pork to celebrate!"

Butcher Zhang, several chefs, and many helpers, who were busy in the backyard, quickly stopped the work at hand, all of whom showed an excited look and loudly congratulated him.

"Thank you, the shopkeeper for the reward!"

"The big shopkeeper is so generous and kind, and the little shopkeeper will definitely pass the inner door assessment of Tianying Sect this time!"

Everyone in the inn knows that Manager Wang is an outer disciple of Tianying Sect. It took decades of hard work to climb to the position of the manager of Tianying Inn and manage this rich inn for Tianying Sect.

But the biggest regret of the shopkeeper Wang Dasheng in his life was that he could not become an inner disciple of the Tianying Sect in his early years. Otherwise, he would have been in the world of war, and he would have been in the world of war, rather than staying in this inn as a shopkeeper, serving the rich tourists in the world of war, and eating and drinking well.

Therefore, he has always had high hopes for his precious son and carefully cultivated him, hoping that his son would pass the Tianying Sect inner sect assessment and become a top figure in the martial arts world.

Although the shopkeeper has repeatedly failed to pass the assessment of the disciples of the inner sect of Tianying Sect in recent years, he has not given up yet.

After giving instructions to the friends in the backyard, the shopkeeper Wang took his hands behind his backyard and took his baby son out of the backyard of the inn to report to Tianying Gate in the city.

Zhang Tieniu, the fat son of Butcher Zhang, looked up at Butcher Zhang in anticipation, and said something that was very disgusting: "Dad, I also want to be an apprentice in Tianying Gate..."

Manager Wang had a sharp ear. After hearing this, his face suddenly became dark and his steps stopped.

He just said he wanted to take his son to Tianying Gate to participate in the assessment, but Butcher Zhang's son actually said he wanted to go too. What does this mean? Do you want to sweep his face?

The atmosphere in the courtyard became extremely heavy in an instant.

All the chefs and the chores were frightened and silent.

Butcher Zhang's face changed, and he hurriedly slapped his fat son Zhang Tieniu and threw him out, and scolded him in a dilemma, "You idiot, don't urinate and look at yourself. Can you go to the Tianying Sect? That's the 18th generation of ancestors who have smoked, so that you can have such a great blessing!"

After saying that, he didn't care about his fat son who was beaten and cried, and quickly pleased the shopkeeper, "Big Manager, my stupid kid is ignorant and he is just talking nonsense. By the way, today his child wants to go back to his parents' home in Zhouzhuang to visit his relatives. I want to take a day off to the shopkeeper and take his kid back to the countryside with him!"

"Okay, you'll be allowed to have a day off! Dragon gives birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes. Zhang Tuzi, your kid is born to kill a pig. Don't think about everything, it's just a joke!"

Manager Wang glanced at Butcher Zhang, snorted disdainfully, and then took his son away with satisfaction.

After the shopkeeper Wang walked away, the chefs in the backyard breathed a sigh of relief and did not dare to talk about what had happened just now. They all became busy again. The sound of killing pigs and sheep sounded in the yard, and soon the chaos returned to the storm.

...

When Su Chen and A Chou saw that the shopkeeper Wang was walking away, they hurriedly slipped out of the backyard of Tianying Inn and arrived on the bustling streets of the county town.

The Medicine King Gang that Su Chen wanted to go was outside the city, while the Tianying Gate that A Chou was going to was inside the city. The two of them had different paths.

"Brother Chen, I'll take you to Yaowang Villa outside the city first."

"No need to be so troublesome. You have to go to Tianying Gate. Don't miss the time or miss the big thing. I'll just go to Yaowang Villa by myself. By the way, where will the Yaowang Gang go?"

"Okay. The road to the Medicine King Gang is easy to recognize. After leaving the south gate of the city, I walked five miles along the official road, and there was a very conspicuous Phoenix Mountain.

After this mountain was occupied by the Yaowang Gang, it was also called Yaowang Mountain. The Yaowang Gang built a very grand villa on the mountain, which was the headquarters villa of the Yaowang Gang. It was very majestic and conspicuous. You can see it after walking a few miles. By the way, Brother Chen, you don’t have money. I still have dozens of coins here. You may need to collect it."

Ah Chou took out dozens of copper coins and wanted to stuff them to Su Chen.

"You keep it yourself, the city will be expensive!"

Su Chen quickly pushed it away and refused to stop, feeling moved.

A Chou only earned three-month copper coins in the inn a day, and it took at least one month to save dozens of coins of copper coins. He could not ask for this money.

"We are good brothers for life, why are you polite to me! In the future, we will make a lot of money by becoming a rich man in the world, and spend a little money. What are these dozens of copper coins?"

Ah Chou is anxious.

"Just one, I will buy a few steamed buns on the road to make my stomach! Ah Chou, let's say goodbye! No matter what, we must make a way out and become a wealthy man in the world. See you again in the world in the future!"

Su Chen couldn't refuse, but in the end he couldn't resist and took A Chou's copper coin.

"Okay! Let's see you again in the future, drink a big bowl of wine and eat a large piece of meat!"

Ah Chou waved his hand fiercely, and tears filled his eyes.

Two teenagers said goodbye on the bustling streets of Gusu County. With the dream of becoming a wealthy man in the world, they hurriedly rushed towards their respective futures in the cold and whistling cold wind.
