Chapter 516: Cao Zheng
The profound internal strength that Fuyang has that does not match his age is due to the mysterious old man, so some people can't help but ask, where is this mysterious old man sacred, why was he seriously injured and unconscious in the river under the mountain, and why did he have a deep internal force in his body?
It turned out that this mysterious old man was the head of Yaowutang Ji Rong, who was seriously injured by his disciple who fell off the cliff in response to the wind, and there was a big river at the bottom of the cliff, and Ji Rong, who fell into the water, was washed all the way to the river near Fu Yang's house, and was found by Fu Yang and carried back home, Ji Rong was seriously injured at that time, but there was still a breath and did not die.
After that, as mentioned earlier, Ji Rong passed on all the internal power of his lifelong cultivation to Fu Yang before he died, but Fu Yang didn't know the life experience of this old man, he was an ordinary boy in the mountains, he knew little about the world of martial arts, and naturally he had never seen Ji Rong, and in his heart he only regarded this mysterious old man as an old man who had a great kindness to him.
This was the case with Fuyang's adventure three years ago, and it was De Jirong's lifelong skills that made him leap from an ordinary teenager to a martial arts master. But he said that now he is working as a partner in a shop in Wangxi City, mainly engaged in some loading, The miscellaneous work of unloading, because of his poor family background, since the death of his grandfather, who relied on each other, he was alone, and he had very little savings, in order to survive, he had to find this shop to settle down, and the martial arts fight is not a long-term solution, although winning can get a lot of bonuses, but no one can guarantee that he is a long-term general, once defeated, not only the income is scarce, if you are injured, the consequences are serious, not to mention, just to treat the injury is costly and time-consuming, for this reason Fuyang is cautious about participating in martial arts, unless it is absolutely necessary, he will not easily participate in martial artsγ
Fu Yang as a shop guy, a month of income is very limited, if just to cope with their own food and drink is barely passable, but he has a problem, that is good gambling, often after work has nothing to do to enter the gambling hall for recreation, gambling in such a place nine times out of ten lose, Fu Yang is no exception, go to a few times has lost empty-handed, the original from the fight to earn the silver lost a fine.
On this day, Fu Yang, who lost money, walked into the storeroom of the shop with a displeased face, and Cao Zheng, who was also a partner, stepped forward and said: "Fu Yang, look at your stinky face, shouldn't you lose money again last night?"
Fu Yang said angrily: "Go and go, don't open which pot and which pot, I'm just unlucky for a while, and when the day comes, I have to make a lot of money." β
Cao Zheng snorted coldly: "You just wait slowly, kindly persuade you, you can't bet on this thing, it will only get deeper and deeper, if you want me to say that you should quit." β
Fu Yang said: "That's not good, I haven't turned over the money I lost, if I quit, wouldn't I lose those silver in vain?" Cao Zheng said: "Look at your abacus, this will lose and forget it, don't think about turning over the book and losing more." β
Fu Yang said: "Nonsense, I don't believe that my gambling luck is so bad." β
Seeing that Fu Yang refused to listen to persuasion, Cao Zheng knew that it was useless to talk more, so he shook his head and walked towards the warehouse, while Fu Yang followed closely behind. The two of them were busy in the warehouse, basically counting the goods and moving the goods, and neither of them was working on the first day, so they were very handy.
The time of the day is fleeting in the busy work, seeing that the sky is getting dark, Fu Yang and Cao Zheng walked out of the warehouse together, in the past, both of them went back to their respective homes, Cao Zheng's home is nearby, he rarely goes out to play after work, and Fu Yang is alone, and the place of residence is also a rented temporary house, in order to kill time, he often goes in and out of some large and small gambling houses, so as to develop a good gambling addiction.
The two walked forward with their feet in front and back, and Cao Zheng said, "Fuyang, let's go to a nearby tavern tonight to have some bars?"
Fu Yang looked surprised and said: "Lao Cao, I heard you right, the sun is coming out in the west today, and you also want to go to the tavern to drink?"
Cao Zheng said: "What's all the fuss about drinking, do you go or not?"
Fu Yang said happily: "Of course I went, I usually drink outside alone, but I can't ask for you to accompany me today." The two of them laughed and walked towards a nearby tavern.
Speaking of Cao Zheng's abnormal behavior today, it is completely out of kindness, his age is twenty-five, seven years older than the eighteen-year-old Fu Yang, and his natural life experience is much richer, there are countless stories of tragedies caused by gambling in the past, he doesn't want to see the young Fu Yang embark on a crooked road, so he took the initiative to ask Fu Yang to go to the tavern to drink.
The two sat down in the tavern, the wine and food were quickly served, and the two immediately ate and drank, Fuyang was very interested, perhaps because he met Cao Zheng for the first time and asked him to drink, he frequently raised his glass to drink with Cao Zheng, and Cao Zheng did not push, the two of them came and drank the contents of the cup. After a while, Fu Yang had drunk more than a dozen glasses of wine, and he only felt groggy because he was too strong to drink, and soon fell asleep on the wine table.
Seeing that Fu Yang was drunk, Cao Zheng secretly said in his heart: "This amount of alcohol is not good, it seems that you can't go to the gambling house tonight to fool around." β
Cao Zheng drank a few more glasses of wine, and he would not get drunk if he drank ten more glasses with his alcohol consumption, but drinking alone was very boring after all, so he picked up the drunk Fuyang and walked towards the door of the tavern, thinking that Fuyang was alone and no one took care of him, and after a little thought, Cao Zheng helped Fuyang towards his home.
The next day, Fu Yang woke up from his sleep, he opened his eyes and found that he was not in his house, he hurriedly went out of the house to check the situation, Cao Zheng's voice outside the house made him suddenly realize, he stepped forward and said: "Old Cao, why did I sleep in your house?"
Cao Zheng turned around and said: "You woke up, I forgot how I got drunk last night, you live alone, there is no one to take care of at home, I can't rest assured that I will help you to my house, hurry up and wash your face, wash it and have breakfast together." β
Fu Yang nodded and went to wash, and then had breakfast with Cao Zheng and his wife and children, Fu Yang is not a stranger to Cao Zheng's wife Liang Hong, he has seen it a few times when he worked in the warehouse, Fu Yang said: "Sister-in-law, I'm causing you trouble, take some melons and fruits another day to honor you." β
Liang Hong said: "Fuyang, what do you say, treat your sister-in-law as an outsider, and when you have nowhere to eat in the future, you just have to go to your sister-in-law's house." β
Cao Zheng took over and said: "Fuyang, it's okay for you to stay alone like this, have you ever thought about becoming a family business, with a wife, someone will take care of you, your sister-in-law knows a lot of people, do you want to pay attention to it?"
Liang Hong said: "Yes, yes, there are a few girls of your age on my mother's relatives, if you want to get married, I can find you a match." β
Fu Yang said: "I'm afraid that this thing won't work now, you look at me like this, there is no piece of tiles on the top and half an acre of land under the bottom, and there is not much spare money in my pocket, where can I get a family business." β
Cao Zheng said: "What you said also makes sense, you really can't marry a wife like you are now, but you are still young, it doesn't hurt to wait a few more years, but there is one thing that you have to remind you when you are a brother, don't go to the gambling house to make money in the future, it's not easy for us to make a few dollars, you still have to save money to start a family." β
Liang Hong also said: "Yes, yes, gambling is unacceptable, nine out of ten bets are lost, and it doesn't end well, don't go in the future." β
Fu Yang also knew that Cao Zheng and his wife were for their own good, so he nodded again and again: "Brother and sister-in-law, you two can rest assured, I won't go in the future." β
The three of them chatted while eating breakfast, and after eating, Fu Yang and Cao Zheng went to work in the warehouse together.
