Chapter 44: On Acting

The firewood that had been piled up in the yard was half empty, and Cheng Wu came back from outside and took a few firewoods into the kitchen.

At this time, it was already noon, and Cheng Wu quickly cooked the meal, which were all simple dishes, although they were not very delicious, but at least they could still fill their stomachs.

These two people don't have anything else to pay attention to now, it's good to fill their stomachs, although Xu An can't help but complain, there is no way to do it, it is difficult for a penny to be a hero, and it is not his turn to be unwilling!

Cheng Wu nibbled on steamed buns, just a bowl of leftover soup, squatting at the door of the shop and eating, he was not very particular about eating, maybe he was used to a hard life, even if the soup was left for a few days, as long as it was not bad, he still couldn't bear to waste it.

Maybe it's because the fire in the shop is too hot, so he rarely eats in the shop.

"I'll use your sword when I'm done eating. Cheng Wu took a bite of the steamed bun and thought about the sword carefully, then turned back to Xu An and said.

"What are you doing with a sword?" Xu An asked.

"I can't see anything when I look at it like this, I want to use your sword to practice in the afternoon. Cheng Wu returned.

"You don't use a sword, you can use a sword?"

"It's all killing, and the sword is no different. Cheng Wu replied.

Xu An nodded slightly, as if he agreed with Cheng Wu's words, and didn't say anything, picked up the black sword from the ground and threw it to Cheng Wu.

Cheng Wu bit the steamed bun and caught the sword with one hand, gently put it at the door, and began to gulp the leftover soup in the bowl, as if with a good sword as a companion, even the leftover soup in the bowl became delicious.

"Master, we have beef broth, no vegetarian food. Cheng Wu looked up at a monk with an aggrieved face in front of him, stunned and then said.

The monk is naturally Li Wusheng, Li Wusheng is also a little confused when he sees Cheng Wu, who is this person?

"Who are you?" asked Li Wusheng.

"Why are you back again?" Xu An hurriedly walked out and asked when he saw this.

"Her daughter thinks I'm obscene, and I don't want to marry, and I can't help it. Li Wusheng still said with a look of grievance.

"What is this?" Cheng Wu was even more confused when he saw that these two people knew each other, and then asked Xu An.

"This monk drank a bowl of soup from me, but he didn't have any money, so I asked him to be Aunt Zhang's son-in-law. Xu An said simply.

Cheng Wu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, a monk from another family, he didn't give money if he didn't give you a bowl of soup, because you didn't have money, you asked people to be Aunt Zhang's son-in-law? The main reason is that this monk is really willing? I can't help but be even more glad that I came with the money in the first place.

And you're a good monk who has to come and drink some beef soup.

"I didn't drink the soup..."Li Wusheng immediately stopped doing it when he heard this, and said with a look of grievance.

"If this person is unwilling, then what can I do with the rent of this shop. Xu An said to himself.

"Forget it, you go and work for her first, it's a day to be worth a day. Xu An waved his hand and said.

"I haven't eaten yet, it's noon. Li Wusheng was even more aggrieved when he heard this, he was allowed to work before he ate, is there such a reason?

"You are a monk, just go and ask for some fasting food, it will be a problem for us to eat by ourselves, how can we take care of you. Xu An said.

"Amitabha, good, good. Li Wusheng was already aggrieved and was about to cry, why didn't he get into such a big Buddha with long eyes.

Grievances are grievances, but now eating is the first priority, in fact, it is not that Xu An is mean, but that Li Wusheng, a monk, does eat more openly than Xu An and the two of them, in this town, except for Xu An's shop, no matter who he goes to to preach and pray for, he will not starve to death on the streets.

This is also the main reason why Li Wusheng was penniless but survived.

"What's the matter with this monk?" Cheng Wu was stunned when he listened to the conversation between the two, just because of a bowl of soup, he signed a deed of sale?

"He drank my soup and didn't have any money, I thought that he would let Aunt Zhang be the son-in-law, and then the rent of this shop would be settled, who knew that people were unwilling, what could be done, let him work for others. Xu An said with a light sigh.

"No, then the monk is really willing?" Cheng Wu asked again.

"He's a monk, he pays attention to compassion, what kind of ferry, can he still watch the two of us sleeping on the streets? Besides, does he dare or not, if he doesn't go to hell, who will go to hell? Xu An then said while eating.

Cheng Wu understood when he heard this, the monk was completely forced, and he was glad that he came with money again.

After eating, Chengwu walked towards the west with his sword, he didn't walk fast, so he looked down and thought about the sword.

But the townspeople were taken aback by his appearance, and they all thought that he was going to die, and they didn't dare to come up to stop him when they saw him holding a sword.

"I said you kid, isn't it just rent, you don't have to go to death if you don't have money, this is a forbidden place ahead, what is it called? Seeing this, Aunt Zhang ran to Xu An's shop and said.

Xu An had just finished eating, and he was speechless when he saw Aunt Zhang's reaction, but he came up with an idea.

Xu An stood up, turned his back to Aunt Zhang, and didn't speak, just looked up at the sky and sighed, shaking his head while sighing.

"Kid, what's wrong with you?" Aunt Zhang hurriedly asked when she saw this.

"Don't dare to deceive Aunt Zhang, I wanted to pass on this ancestral beef soup, I don't want to carry it forward, I just want to find a good life, but you also know that it is difficult to do business here, and now the two of us really can't sustain it, the two of us have already discussed, the soup shop is closed, and we will not rent your shop." Xu An sighed again and said, looking at that look completely heart-wrenching.

"It's also a way not to rent, it's better to go to the big city to do some work, save some money first, find a place with a lot of people and then do business well, it's better than in a place where we don't." Aunt Zhang also said with a bitter look.

"Huh?" Xu An was stunned at first when he heard this, and then panicked, thinking to himself what to do now?

"Auntie is right, but I pity my guy, he would rather die than go back, how can the two of us face the neighbors when we go back like this? Let me send the black-haired person, how can I bear it..."Xu An slowly sat down on the chair, lowered his head and sighed softly.

"Then what can I do? I can't just let that kid die, right?" Aunt Zhang panicked when she heard this, and hurriedly asked.

Xu An smiled secretly at the corner of his mouth, and then quickly retracted, pretending to think carefully for a while: "Or, do you think this will work? I'll tell him first that you have waived our rent for two months, so that our shop can still be opened, and he won't go to death." I'll let Master Wusheng continue to work for you, how about we trick him back first?"

Aunt Zhang thought carefully for a while, and then nodded: "I think it's okay, trick him back first!"

"Trick him back first. Xu An said with a smile.

After Xu An finished speaking, he left the shop and walked in the direction of Chengwu.

After two months of rent waiver, this person's mood became different, he even felt that the air had become a lot better, and he slowly walked towards the west with his head in his hands and whistling, as for what to do after two months, Xu An didn't think about it.

Of course he wouldn't call Cheng Wu back, although Ji Dongli's sword was very unbearable in his mouth, Xu An himself knew that Ji Dongli's sword was indeed amazing.

Cheng Wu told himself that he seemed to be able to understand a little, which was a rare thing, Xu An didn't think he was lying, so he didn't want to bother Cheng Wu.

Although Xu An complained that Cheng Wu wasted time there every day and did not have the consciousness of being a helper at all, in fact, Xu An never stopped Cheng Wu from looking at the sword, and he complained maybe it was just because he hated the person who left the sword.

Cheng Wu is fascinated every time, and he can be described as unable to extricate himself, but no matter how he can't extricate himself, he still returns to the shop on time to cook as soon as the meal arrives, and the water and firewood in the shop have never been lacking, and the two seem to have formed a good tacit understanding.

Even so, you still have to do what you should do, or you really can't explain it to Aunt Zhang.

As for the monk, Xu An was not afraid of him running away, nor was he afraid of anything happening to him, because he was very afraid of death, and he happened to have the ability to kill him easily, so Xu An was not worried about the monk at all, and was even a little glad that he helped him solve the rent problem of the shop.

Naturally, it is impossible for him to be a son-in-law, Cheng Wu has more important things to do, and he will not force him, although he is very optimistic about Cheng Wu, thinking that it is useless for him to go to see the sword every day, just a waste of time.

But people, living in the world for so long, will always do some useless things, useful or useless must be done to know, although it is a bit of a waste of time, but for these two people there is only time.

When he was in a dilemma, hey, suddenly a monk came, which was simply wonderful for Xu An.

He found a relatively flat hillside and lay down with his hands on his pillows.

Xu An had a grass root in his mouth, chewed it twice from time to time, sucked the juice that was not very delicious, and the crossed Erlang's legs began to sway regularly.

He looked at the sun and narrowed his eyes slightly, then suddenly chuckled and read, "1, 2, 3." ”

His voice was very soft, and the movement of reading the numbers was very small, as if only he could hear himself say these three numbers, and these three numbers appeared very abruptly, if someone around him would definitely think that he was guilty of some kind of nerve.

But there was no one around him, and he didn't do anything else after reading the three numbers, he still lay there quietly, and then slowly closed his eyes, as if sleeping.

Or maybe he's sleeping! Xu An lay down and fell asleep after reading the three numbers.
