Zhou Geng went to the city with Jinbao wearing the cloth shoes his mother gave him.

After arriving in the city, Jinbao successfully took over the position left by his uncle, but Zhou Geng did not find anything he could do and could only stay on the street. Fortunately, Jinbao helped him, otherwise he might have starved to death.

The turning point of Zhou Geng's life in the city can even be said to be the turning point of his entire life when he met Wu San.

Wu San is a friend of Uncle Jinbao, the big name Wu Jingye. The title "Wu San" was obtained after he worked as a servant. Jinbao needs to call him "Wu Sanye".

He was not old and had just emerged at the age of thirty, but after staying in the city for a long time, he looked very mature. He had a moderate figure, looked a little weak on his face, but his body was very strong.

When Wu San went out, he saved the master in distress, so he was very respected. Jin Bao's uncle saved Wu San, so he was able to successfully take over.

On that day, Wu San arranged for Jinbao to take two friends to transport some goods. By chance, these two friends had a stomachache at the same time for some reason. Because the matter was urgent, Wu San agreed to Jinbao find someone by himself, so he found Zhou Geng.

Zhou Geng worked very hard when he was working, so he was praised by Wu San. Before leaving, Wu San said to Jinbao and Zhou Geng: "In life, you must not only be diligent, but also do things that are contemptuous."

Zhou Geng asked Jinbao: "What is something that is wrong?"

Jinbao said: "It's probably a promising thing, or something affordable." Jinbao then added: "If it's a promising thing, it's a promising thing."

Through this incident, Zhou Geng was inspired to work as a laborer in the city, and gradually met a few poor friends. He worked together when he had work, chatted together when he had no work, and lived a life that could barely make a living.

One day, Wu San appeared again and gathered Zhou Geng, Jinbao and the other three Zhou Geng and Jinbao didn't know each other and said, "I have observed you for a long time, and you are all very diligent. Now, I have something for you to do. The reward is very generous, but it may be a bit dangerous. Would you like it?"

I heard that the reward was very good, and everyone was very enthusiastic. Zhou Geng could also see that the other three teenagers were similar to him, and they were all miserable people who made their own efforts. But when they heard that there was danger, everyone hesitated again.

"Five hundred cents a day. Of course, danger is danger, and I won't hide it from you. You can think about it." Wu San said with a smile.

"Five hundred ci?" Everyone gasped after hearing this. Five hundred cigarettes are equivalent to half a tael of silver! Although it is actually impossible to exchange copper coins for silver for one tael of silver, for these young people, even four cigarettes of silver is an astronomical figure!

Zhou Geng thought that if you do ordinary work, no matter how hard you are, you will not be able to get such a high salary. Wu San told everyone in advance that there is danger, which is considered honest. It is precisely because of the danger that you can give such a high salary!

"Can you tell me what you are doing?" a teenager asked weakly.

"Go to Meishan outside Qingliu City and follow me to find something. The mountains are high and the roads are dangerous. There may be some things on the mountain that I don't describe clearly, so I have something to say to you first." Wu San told them, not worried about the leak of the news. Meishan is so big, and not knowing the specific location to search for things is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

"I did it!"

"I did it too!"

"And me!"

"Fight!"

"We believe in Mr. Wu San!"

After a little thought, the five teenagers screamed and agreed to Wu San. As long as there were enough people, everyone was more at ease.

On that day, Wu San led five teenagers to a restaurant for a full meal, then went to the bathhouse to take a shower, all of them changed their clothes, and moved directly into the inn.

These young men, even Jinbao, who is from the best family, have never enjoyed such treatment and are grateful to Wu San.

The next day, the five teenagers were resting, and Wu Sanze continued to spend a day in the city.

The third day was unclear, and Wu San took the five teenagers on the road. Before leaving, Wu San prepaid one tael of silver for the five teenagers.

The other four teenagers all exchanged the silver into copper coins and entrusted several reliable people to send the money back home. This is Professor Wu San's method. Otherwise, if you directly entrust others to give one or two silver, something is very likely to happen.

Zhou Geng had no relatives in the world. He was very grateful to Jinbao for his care, so he handed the silver to Jinbao and took it home.

During the three days, Zhou Geng and Jinbao were also familiar with the other three teenagers. The three teenagers were all hardworking workers on the dock. The oldest one was called Gou Sheng, the smallest one was called Tie Shu. None of them had big names, and they were called nicknames from each other. Their relatives were all in distant mountain villages and were met by helpers at the dock.

Along the way, I don’t know how many roads I walked. After five days, six people finally arrived at Qingliu City on the evening of the eighth day.

Qingliu City is bigger and more prosperous than the city they were before.

When they arrived in the city, Wu San gave them three taels of silver each. Wu San said that from the first day, they would be paid. In eight days, each person would be 4,000 cents, without deducting the discount, they would just count four taels of silver.

The five teenagers no longer thought about what Wu San wanted them to do. They had a simple mentality that since Mr. Wu San was kind to them, they could not let down Mr. Wu San’s trust and should work hard.

After checking into the inn, Mr. Wu San did not come back that night, and it was not until the afternoon of the ninth day that Mr. Wu San did not appear.

Mr. Wu announced that he would enter the mountain the next day!

That night, Zhou Geng didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night. When he arrived in the mountains, what did Mr. Wu ask them to do? What would happen to them? The future was like the mist and rain outside the window, foggy, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

After getting on the road, Wu San was in a good mood and began to tell the boy about his struggle history. He said: "I was as difficult as you back then, and I was even worse than you. After all, you met me, and as for me, no one was willing to support me at that time. I could only struggle and finally survive to this day. But, have I achieved success? No! It's still far away!"

Wu San then pointed to the long road behind him and ahead and said, "Look, there are many roads in this world, some in the city, some in the mountains, some in the mountains, some are high-ranking officials and nobles, and some are miserable people like you and me... These roads are really numerous. However, this road is the same as people, and only a few roads can be the same as people. With the help of opportunities, people stand out, and the road becomes the thoroughfare and is remembered by people!"

I arrived at Meishan without realizing it. At this time, there were only many wild plums in Meishan. The plum village had not been built yet, so it was very desolate. Only when the plum blossoms were blooming would the city come to enjoy it. Now it is the time when the plum blossoms are not blooming, and no one comes here.

When he climbed halfway up the mountain, Zhou Geng saw the cramped cliff in the distance, which made people alert and look up. Although he stood far away, his heart was thrilling, and he felt that the rocks could collapse at any time. However, the plants on the rocks grew on them, and they were not worried at all, but just swayed silently in the wind.
