On this day, Yang Yunhui went to the salt shop opened by Cheng Cong. Because he is also a shareholder, everyone is very polite to him.

Just as Yang Yunhui was about to leave, a person quietly walked in from outside the store. This man didn't speak, just holding a wooden box, just bent over like that, and his clothes were tattered, and there was a sour smell, no need to look, everyone knew that this was asking for food.

"Get out, go out ......" The guy was about to drive him away, but Yang Yunhui stretched out his hand to stop him. For he found that although the man was in tattered clothes, he had a long sword wrapped in white cloth on his back.

The fact that a beggar, who should have been poor and had nothing, and that he still had a sword on his back, and that he was sour, but strong, was not an ornament, perhaps a down-and-out swordsman.

In the surprised eyes of the guys, Yang Yunhui took out the money bag and took out a silver coin from it and placed it in the beggar's wooden box.

The beggar glanced at the silver coins in the wooden box, then gently thanked him before leaving.

"Do you recognize this beggar?"

A fellow man stepped forward and said, "Young Master Yunhui, this beggar is from the south, and he has been begging here for several days. ”

Not long ago, there was a civil war in the Dak Alliance south of the Shire, and dozens of city-states were divided into two factions to fight inseparably, and Nanshan City was close to the border, no, many refugees fled to Nanshan City.

In this case, this person may be a swordsman who has fled or a deserter.

After returning home, Yang Yunhui heard the maid say that a chubby middle-aged man had come to him.

"Fatty?" Yang Yunhui turned around in his mind, and he didn't remember when he met a chubby middle-aged man.

"Take me to him. ”

Yang Yunhui followed the maid to the living room, and saw a fat man carrying a big basket looking around.

"Ah, fat brother!" As soon as he saw this chubby middle-aged man, Yang Yunhui recognized that he was going to Cangshan Dojo with Li Bingrui to pick up his fat guy.

"Young master," the fat guy said with a smile on his lips.

"Is this a fragrant tongue?" Yang Yunhui pointed to the big blue and asked.

"Yes, young master, this is what my wife picked up in the mountains yesterday. ”

"Thank you!" Yang Yunhui picked up a fragrant tongue fruit and sniffed it in front of his nose, "Ah, it's so fragrant." ”

Then he took the basket, took the money bag from his bosom, took out a silver coin from it, and handed it to the fat man.

"Here, fat brother. ”

"Young master, don't give me money, this is some fruit, there are a lot of them on the mountain," the fat guy hurriedly pushed away.

"Fat brother, take it, this is what you should take, going up the mountain to pick fruits is also manual work, take it, otherwise I will be embarrassed." ”

"Okay, but that doesn't have to be much," the fat guy scratched his head.

"You should know that Young Master Ben is very rich. ”

"Uh, okay, I'll take it then. ”

"I'll ask you to help me in the future, fat brother. ”

Then, the fat guy left happily, while Yang Yunhui returned to the room with a heavy basket of tongue fruits.

He picked up a fragrant tongue fruit and threw it into his mouth, chewed it, first a slight sourness filled his mouth, and then he felt a sweet taste, the juice was not very much, but it was delicious, and the flesh was very chewy. After eating a fragrant tongue fruit, I sighed, a faint fresh aroma filled my mouth, and at this moment, I could feel a silky coolness in my throat.

"Well, it's very similar to the golden throat, and the taste is not as heavy as the golden throat. ”

Yang Yunhui sat in the room and thought for a while, then walked to his mother Li Xinran's room with a basket of fragrant tongue nuts.

Three days later, Yang Yunhui bought 30 acres of land outside Nanshan City, and Li Xinran led a group of maids to plant all the fields with fragrant tongue fruit. Yang Yunhui plans to plant some first, and then study to see if he can turn the fruit into sugar grains like golden throats. However, these will not be tested until these fragrant tongue fruits are grown.

Another day, the maid came to report, Qi Wenshan and Huangfu Song came.

It's been a long time since I've seen these friends, Yang Yunhui happily went out to greet the two of them, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he shouted loudly, "You're back too." ”

I haven't seen him for a year, Qi Wenshan has grown taller, and Huangfu has become darker. Qi Wenshan learned the art of forging in the steel city in the south, and the road was farther away from the city than Yang Yunhui's river valley city. And Huangfu Song is learning swordsmanship, and it is estimated that he will go to the imperial capital to register for Donghua Academy this year.

"Why don't you see a few of them?"

"They didn't come back, so they followed his family to study business in the south. ”

"Okay, where are we going later?"

"Let's go to the small park, there is a new park in the city this year, and the scenery is very good. ”

"Good. ”

Afterwards, the three of them took a carriage to the newly built park in Nanshan City.

When I arrived at the park, I saw a wooden sign at the door that read: Youshan Courtyard.

There are not many people in the park, and they get together in twos and threes. There are many pavilions and many small wooden benches, and the whole park is in a ring, with a small lake in the middle, and a few mounds not far away, which are stocked with a lot of small fish, and some ducks swim in the water, and a few people fish by the lake. It is said that it was built in imitation of the Xiangshan Park in the imperial capital. Not long ago, the merchants in the city jointly proposed that the city lord would build a park in Nanshan, because there were usually no good places for everyone to go, and the merchants also collectively donated half of the cost, and the city lord considered that building a garden would increase the city's popularity and prosperity, so he agreed to build it. You know, there are not many of these gardens in the entire eastern province.

The three of them came to a mound about ten meters high, just right for basking in the sun. Lying on the soft mound, the three of them were so uncomfortable, squinting lazily and chatting with each other.

This year, Qi Wenshan learned the art of forging in the steel city in the south. There is a well-known academy in the Shire in Steel City, called the Kamui Intermediate Academy, which is known for its ability to make armor. It is rumored that seven of the Shire's most famous ten armor sets were designed by the Golden Armor Academy. And after Qi Wenshan's explanation, they learned that there are two most famous achievements of Steel City: armor and puppets, which support the entire armor business of the Charr.

The puppet is synonymous with a kind of equipment, similar to a chariot, some simple mechanical structure, people can ride in it to move, the most successful puppet today is a kind of equipment called Xuanjia chariot, the whole is covered by metal materials, the bottom is installed with four wheels, soldiers can stand in it and shoot arrows outward, the power is driven by a kind of divine magic array, the only drawback is that it is very afraid of thunder and lightning Shenxuan.

The Steel City embodies the best forging techniques of the Shire, and it is among the best in the entire continent. Legend has it that 100 years ago, Steel City was an industrial city in the Dock Cities Federation. After the war between the Shire and Dak, the city of Steel entered the territory of the Shire, and after several generations of kings, it has become prosperous today.

As for Huangfu Song, this year, the family hired a swordsmanship tutor for him. This swordsmanship teacher is quite powerful, he is about thirty years old, and he is already the strength of a sixth-grade swordsman.

Swordsman is an intermediate professional achievement in swordsmanship, and swordsmanship from low to high is 1~3 rank swordsman, 4~6 rank swordsman, 7~9 rank swordsman, and 10~12 rank sword master.

After the teaching of this 6-rank great swordsman, Huangfu Song became a 3-rank great swordsman in 1 year. With these achievements, it should not be a problem to pass the admissions requirements of Donghua College in the future.

Before they knew it, the three of them chatted for a long time on the mound, and gradually became hungry, so they made an appointment to go to the street to buy some snacks to eat.

At this time, there were many more pedestrians on the streets of Nanshan than in the past, and many people looked like outsiders from the way they dressed. These are probably the displaced people who have taken refuge from the south.

Although Nanshan City is in the eastern province of the Shire, it is at the bottom of the eastern province and already borders the Dak Cities Federation, so many homeless people have fled into the Shire and come to Nanshan City.

The three of them bought some steamed buns at a steamed bun shop and ate them slowly on the street.

However, inadvertently, a teenage boy suddenly ran towards the three of them with messy steps, and hit Yang Yunhui directly. He tried to dodge, but when he moved to the side, the little boy followed suit. In the end, the little boy seemed to hit Yang Yunhui unintentionally, and then ran away pretending to be accidental.

Yang Yunhui instinctively felt bad, this bridge was very familiar, and it seemed that something was missing.

"It's not good, my money bag, catch him, he's a thief," Yang Yunhui hurriedly touched the pocket on his waist, which was empty.

Huangfu Song was the first to react, and immediately chased after the little boy.

Yang Yunhui did not fall behind, and quickly started to catch up with the pace he had cultivated in Cangshan. Qi Wenshan was the slowest to react and followed behind.

At this time, the thief boy in front saw that his behavior was discovered, so he didn't hide, but ran all the way, going around the street to get rid of them. But Yang Yunhui and the three of them all grew up in this city, and they couldn't be more familiar with the terrain, so they couldn't get rid of it at all.

So, the three eventually chased the little boy into a dead end. But instead of panicking, the thief boy turned around and grinned at the three of them, "You can't run away." ”

"Huh?"

The three of them were confused, obviously he was blocked, why did they say that they couldn't run away.

At this moment, a lazy voice came from behind him.

"If you don't chase after you, nothing will happen. ”

"Hey, hey, hey. ”

The three of them hurriedly turned around and looked, and at this time, eight young men of fifteen or sixteen years old appeared behind them, all holding sticks in their hands, looking triumphant, and they knew at a glance that they were ruffians and hooligans.

"I said you three, do you understand, do you want to hand over the valuables on your body yourself, or do you want us to do it, huh?" One of the eldest said unscrupulously, knocking on the stick in his hand as he spoke.

"Ha~ha~ha~ha~" The group of people around him also laughed out loud with presumptuousness.

"Who told you to chase it, it was just a loss of money, but now it's not that simple," the little boy slipped over to the ruffians.

"Boss, I want that tall boy's clothes, just in time for my one," said one of the scoundrels.

"I want his shoes, my feet are still bare. ”

"I want the bun in his hand, I haven't eaten enough in the past few days. ”

At this point, the eldest said, "No problem, clean them up, it's all yours." ”

"Up!"
