It was relatively cold in the chemical house, the bacon had not yet thawed, and several lines of small characters had been carved out of it with a sharp weapon, like a thick bamboo slip.

Hu Guiyang glanced at it and handed the bacon to the flatbread, "Eat it." ”

The flatbread looked at the owner in confusion, and when Hu Guiyang brought the bacon to his mouth, and said "eat", it couldn't help it, opened its big mouth, bit the bacon in one bite, held it tightly, turned around and walked to the corner to taste it slowly.

Hu Guiyang was in a happy mood, he didn't care about what was written on the bacon, he just needed to make sure that he hadn't been forgotten.

After a cold breakfast, he wiped his face with the snow outside and threw a set of long punches with gusto.

The whole yard was covered with snow, thickened by a layer, and the flatbread was jumping around like crazy, and after Hu Guiyang finished a set of punches here, he ran back from a distance and had a silver ingot in his mouth.

Hu Guiyang hurriedly snatched it in his hand, "I almost made a big mistake, there are not a few pieces in total, but you can't throw them away." ”

The silver ingot was also engraved with small characters, Hu Guiyang looked at the sun, and smiled at the flatbread: "This person is really a waste, I don't know if the engraving will make the silver ingot lose weight?" And if it's like this, how can it be spoiled outward? ”

The flatbread screamed, turned around and ran, circled the yard a few times, found nothing, and returned to the master and stuck out his tongue.

A piece of silver ingots weighed fifty taels, a total of fifteen pieces, Hu Guiyang checked and counted them, and after confirming that they were correct, they were rewrapped and stacked in the corner.

That afternoon, Shen Qianyuan finally appeared, and apologized again and again, Hu Guiyang only noticed that there was hot wine and hot food in the food box, and forgave everything.

While he was eating and drinking, Shen Qianyuan said: "These days, I have been inquiring about the movements of the West Factory, and as far as I know, there is no action. ”

"Nothing?"

"Yes, Xichang doesn't seem to know that you've fled."

"I rarely go to order it...... What about the Pony Building? ”

"The news of the death has spread, saying that he died violently at home, and everyone says that the princess is unfortunate and has not had a good year."

"It's almost the New Year."

"The day after tomorrow, Chinese New Year's Eve."

Hu Guiyang nodded and continued to drink, worried that the wine would be cold after a while.

"Brother Hu doesn't have to hide here anymore, early tomorrow morning, I will send a car over to send Brother Hu to Datong, Shanxi......"

"It's winter, why don't you go to the south?"

"The south is strictly investigated, the West Factory is not moving, maybe it's just an illusion, Brother Hu should go to the frontier to avoid it for a while, after a year and a half, I will confirm that the West Factory really doesn't care, and then notify you to go south."

"Thank you." Hu Guiyang stretched out his hand and pointed to a few burdens in the corner, "Please accept the silver no matter what." ”

Shen Qianyuan laughed and said, "Let's not do business, Brother Hu, you have to treat me as a friend." ”

"I'll treat you as a friend, and silver is a New Year's gift."

"But it's disrespectful." Shen Qianyuan didn't postpone any longer, walked to the corner, and grabbed a baggage, "Two hundred taels of silver for a bag of silver is enough." Brother Hu, who works hard, wants to celebrate the New Year on the road. ”

Shen Qianyuan said goodbye and advised: "After all, Brother Hu has a special identity, and it is still not appropriate to show up on tomorrow's trip." ”

"Just don't put me in a box again."

"Not anymore." Shen Hanwon stepped on the snow and left, locking the gate from the outside.

"Wang Zhizhen is calm, but he has ruined my plan by doing this." Hu Guiyang whispered to the flatbread, "Hey, why do you want so much?" Take one step at a time, those words are carved out by people, not by you with dog teeth, right? ”

The flatbread was so focused on a bare bone that he didn't even lift his eyes.

Shen Qianyuan was very trustworthy, and early the next morning, sure enough, a mule cart arrived, and the driver was none other than Zhang Wuchen.

"Hey, you're back to your old job?" Hu Guiyang was very happy to see his acquaintance again.

Zhang Wuchen had already cultivated a bit of a master's demeanor, and as soon as he picked up the horsewhip, he immediately became shrunken again, with a flattering smile on his face, "The old business will not be anymore, today is all for Captain Hu, so I changed into this outfit." ”

"Thank you. Don't call me Captain Hu anymore, just Hu Guiyang. ”

"I'll call you a guest officer, please get in the car."

Hu Guiyang carried the burden onto the carriage and took out a big ingot of silver, "I rushed to the car a year ago, and the hard work was twice as hard as usual, please accept this ingot of silver and use it as wine money." ”

Zhang Wuchen's eyes widened, "This wine is a lot of money, enough to drink for a year." ”

"Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, right?"

"Yes."

"Then drink some good wine."

Zhang Wuchen stared at the silver ingot, "I can only give you a ride, it will stop when it gets dark, and then you will have to hire another vehicle." ”

"Ha, if you really want to hire a car, I won't be so generous, this is a gift."

Zhang Wuchen didn't hesitate any longer, took the silver ingot, and smiled all over his face, "Then thank you to the guest officer, my work is worth it." ”

Hu Guiyang got into the car with a flatbread, and Zhang Wuchen drove the mule off.

The flatbread stretched out his head and looked at the distant yard and screamed a few times, quite nostalgic.

The carriage was covered with thick bedding and a small hand warmer, sitting here, Hu Guiyang didn't miss the empty and cold yard at all, and dragged the flatbread back, "A good dog is ambitious in all directions, like you love your family, how can you follow me in the rivers and lakes?" ”

The mule cart traveled all the way, passing through a noisy place during the process, Hu Guiyang was not interested at all, lying in the carriage to sleep for a while and eat for a while, and throwing the hand warmer aside when it was cold.

The voices quickly subsided, and all that was left outside was the creaking of wheels as they ran over the snow.

Hu Guiyang was woken up in his sleep and found that it was dark outside.

Zhang Wuchen whispered: "It's here." ”

"Where?"

"Jingbei Town, you rest here for one night, and hire a car to go to Datong tomorrow - there may be no one to get out tomorrow, wait two more days."

When Hu Guiyang got off the car, he immediately felt the cold wind blowing on his face, and he missed the small carriage more than the courtyard where he had lived for a few days.

The mule cart was parked in the backyard of an inn, and there were no other vehicles but them, and apparently no other customers.

Zhang Wuchen said: "I will go to the front to book a room and pay for three days first." ”

"There is labor."

Zhang Wuchen didn't move, "That ......"

"What's wrong? Oh. Hu Guiyang reached into his arms and prepared to take out the loose silver.

Zhang Wuchen hurriedly stopped, "That's not what I mean, Shen Qianyuan gave me money." ”

"Got something to say?"

Zhang Wuchen was even more twisted, "That, can you give it to me...... Change a silver ingot? ”

"It's okay to give another piece." Hu Guiyang took out a large ingot of silver from his baggage.

Zhang Wuchen just wanted to replace it, and he didn't want more, so he thanked him for his kindness after taking it.

"Is the silver fake?" Hu Guiyang shook it twice and didn't think there was a problem.

"It's not fake, it's full of real silver, I am...... I'll pay for the room first. Zhang Wuchen hurriedly ran away.

Hu Guiyang suddenly realized that there were words on this silver ingot, and he touched it casually and actually selected it.

Zhang Wuchen came back soon, his smile returned to normal, "I said why no one cares about us, it turns out that everyone in the store has gone home to prepare for the New Year, so he left a guy to guard, he gave us two upper rooms, saying that he wanted to eat and drink, and went to the kitchen to do it himself." ”

Zhang Wuchen also had to stay for one night, and then return to Beijing tomorrow morning, he got fifty taels of silver ingots, and he was in a good mood, and he did not suffer from this behavior at all, and after sending Hu Guiyang into the room, he personally cooked a few kinds of wine and food, and his skills were average, but fortunately, they were all hot.

The two of them made a charcoal tray for heating, hot wine, and ate and drank together.

Zhang Wuchen got drunk after a few drinks, spoke vaguely, and became bolder, "Hu Guiyang, there is something I hold in my heart, and I have wanted to say it for a long time." ”

"Just say, no one gags you."

"I thought you had become an immortal, but I didn't expect that you would still be a mortal after you came back, to be honest, it's really disappointing."

"Haha, if a person like me can become an immortal, what is the reason?"

"Originally, I also thought that becoming an immortal should have all kinds of qualifications, but after Yunyang and his party, I realized that becoming an immortal is the same as being an official, some people rely on knowledge, some people rely on chance, some people rely on ancestral shade, in short, each has its own means, and in the end, whose official is bigger, it is not necessarily."

"So you want to become an immortal too?"

"Of course, I will never forget the experience of Yunyang in my life, the feeling of omnipotence...... Alas. I have to thank you for taking me to Yunyang, you are my destiny. ”

"I forgot why I took you to Yunyang Mansion in the first place."

"It's called chance, my chance."

Hu Guiyang took out the returned engraved silver ingot, "Then why don't you want it?" ”

Zhang Wuchen's face changed slightly, and the wine also sobered up a little, and he smiled: "Do you really not know, or are you pretending to be confused?" ”

"You've known me for a long time, do you think I'm a fool?"

Zhang Wuchen smiled silently, drank two glasses of wine in a row, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the words on this are the Fire God Formula." ”

"It's not the same as the Vulcan trick I've learned."

"Well, someone has improved it."

"Who is 'someone'?"

"Hehe, listen to me. When Yunyang changed, everyone lost their skills, it was really a gloomy fog, and everyone even envied those who died. About ten days later, there were rumors that someone had regained their strength, and after that, the rumors grew. ”

"Yunyang Inhuman?"

"Yes, at first, everyone was still suspicious of the truth, but a month later, there were a few masters in the government, looking for martial arts celebrities to challenge, saying that they were practicing hands, and they all won, and everyone believed that there were really strange people this time."

Tong Feng is one of the masters of the government, Hu Guiyang has been taught, and it is indeed different from ordinary people, "What does this have to do with the fire god recipe on the silver ingot?" ”

"These aliens who have recovered their strength are what I call 'ancestral shade' and 'chance', and if others want to regain their divine skills, they can only rely on solid 'learning'. As far as I know, many people work on this. ”

"Are you one of them?"

"Hey, how can I do that? I'm a student waiting for Meng, and when people have realized 'knowledge', just share a little bit. ”

"The words on the silver ingot are the 'knowledge' that someone has realized?"

"Yes, but I don't dare to learn, because it says that if you don't have an alien, you will be to blame."

Hu Guiyang laughed, "You have to have 'knowledge' before you can learn 'knowledge', isn't it redundant?" Go and ask me scissors, hammers, and chisels to cut this 'learning' into pieces. ”

Zhang Wuchen's face changed, "Such a big opportunity is in front of you, you don't want it?" ”

"We are talking about 'learning', where does the 'chance' come from? You don't go and ask for scissors, I'll throw them in the brazier. ”

Zhang Wuchen hurriedly stopped, "Mixed with charcoal, this silver will not be useful." ”

Hu Guiyang was in high spirits, took out the dagger from his arms, and said with a smile: "I don't need you." ”

Hu Guiyang cut silver on the table and chopped it at will, one piece with different sizes, and all the words on it were destroyed.

Zhang Wuchen didn't stop it, his face became more and more surprised, "Hu Guiyang, your strength ...... It's not small. ”

Although the silver is soft, it is as easy as chopping vegetables, and Zhang Wuchen has seen it for the first time.

Hu Guiyang also understood, put down the dagger, grabbed a few pieces of broken silver, and pinched it hard, the silver turned into a piece, although there were still traces on it, and he didn't want to separate it again without knives and scissors.

Zhang Wuchen's face was overjoyed, and he raised his glass and said, "You are really a Yunyang stranger!" ”

Hu Guiyang was stunned for a while, blurted out a curse, and said loudly: "Thousands of precautions, day and night precautions, are still secretly calculated by bastards." ”
