Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Coincidental Encounter with the Dead

When Zhang Wei woke up, his intuition was sore, his limbs were weak, and only his eyelids and mouth were obedient to him, and all other parts of his body were on strike. The little boy sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Zhang Wei with concern, and when he saw that he was awake, he jumped up with joy, and shouted with his hands dancing: "I said you won't die, haha, I said you won't die, and you will get better when you wake up!" ”

Zhang Wei said hoarsely: "Where is this?" The little boy jumped to the side of the bed and said, "This is the Zhao Mansion, you will be safe when you get here, how is it, do you feel better?" ”

Zhang Wei saw that the little boy looked concerned, and said with a smile: "It's much better, I should be able to get out of bed after a few more days of rest, little brother, you brought me here?" ”

The little boy said proudly: "Of course, I only borrowed two taels of silver from you, and we lived in this mansion, how about it, amazing!" Zhang Wei said: "You are such a kid who can send me from outside the city to the city, it's really amazing!" But I don't know what method you used? ”

The little boy smiled: "I have a way, just chat with someone, and naturally someone will send us over!" ”

Seeing that he refused to say, Zhang Wei didn't ask, and said, "What's your name?" Have we seen it? ”

The little boy said: "My sister calls me Xiao Ming, and you also call me Xiao Ming, but it's a pity that my sister was killed by that villain." When he said that he was sad, he began to cry. Zhang Wei didn't know how to persuade him, and was about to speak, but he saw the little boy laughing again like a trick, and said: "But that villain has been killed by Engong, and my sister can be happy under Jiuquan, yesterday my sister entrusted me with a dream, let me follow Engong and repay you for a lifetime!" ”

Zhang Wei saw that the little boy was talking vividly and interestingly, and he felt pity, and said with a smile: "Xiao Ming, how old are you?" ”

Xiao Ming puffed up his chest and said, "I can marry a wife in six years!" Zhang Wei said: "That means that you are only nine years old now, and you are still talking about such a roundabout thing." Xiao Ming smiled and said: "I am already an adult, not only can I take care of myself, but also take care of my father!" ”

Zhang Wei thought secretly: "This little boy has lost his sister and has no place to live, and he is very pitiful to be helpless, so he will take it with him for the time being, and wait until he is looking for a good family." Thinking of this, Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Okay, for your smart sake, then I'll take you for the time being!" ”

Xiao Ming was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, Zhang Wei had such a little friend, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be lonely along the way. The two were chatting, and suddenly a big man pushed the door in and said to Zhang Wei: "Are you Zhang Wei?" ”

Zhang Wei couldn't get up, and just about to answer, Xiao Ming leaned over and said loudly: "My master is Zhang Wei, just tell me something, don't you see my master resting?" ”

Dahan looked at Xiao Ming, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it's the same with you, you can tell your master in a while, the competition will start on time in the afternoon three days later, if you don't come by then, then even if you abstain, that's all!" After saying that, he turned around and left.

Zhang Wei asked: "Xiao Ming, what kind of martial arts competition, what's going on?" ”

Xiao Ming smiled shyly and said, "That's the case, where we live, it's the Zhao family's mansion, yes, it's just that I came to apply for the competition under your name, so isn't this a delicious and delicious place to wait for us!" ”

Zhang Wei feigned anger and said: "You kid, report good news or bad news, I can move my mouth and eyes now, and I won't be able to compete with martial arts then, see how we end?" ”

Xiao Ming said: "Don't worry, I have already inquired, the game lasts for half a month, the first game with you was hired by me for two taels of silver, when the Dao Gong only needs to be a show, rest for three days after each game, and then Engong's body will naturally recover almost." ”

Zhang Wei smiled bitterly: "You little goblin, I really don't know if I should thank you or 'thank you'!" Zhang Wei's last two "thank you" deliberately accentuated the tone. Xiao Ming said mischievously: "Then don't thank you." ”

The three days of kung fu passed in the blink of an eye, due to the rich diet of the Zhao Mansion, coupled with Zhang Wei's strong body, he recovered quickly, and he was able to get out of bed and walk around at this time, although it was not good to fight in martial arts, but since the first game was with To, the pressure was naturally much less.

At noon that day, there was a sea of people outside the arena, colorful flags fluttering in the arena, and the people participating in the competition were divided into four groups, sitting in red, blue, white, and black four squares. The rules of the competition are very simple, adopt an elimination system, each group competes according to the list, the loser is eliminated, and the winner is promoted. From the first round onwards, no matter whether you win or lose, you will be hired by the Zhao family, and the more games you advance, the higher the level, and the more rewards you will naturally have.

Zhang Wei was not interested in rewards, but he heard that the Zhao family's selection of materials for this competition was to escort the caravan to Yecheng, just so that he could take a ride and make money, so why not! After the three-way drum beat on the field, a strong man walked to the center of the field, hugged his fists and saluted: "Our Zhao Mansion holds a martial arts competition, aiming to select capable people and encourage martial arts. ”

When everyone in the audience heard that there were fifty taels of rewards, they were full of emotion, as if they were going to compete on stage. As soon as the gong sounded, the four phalanxes began to fight. Zhang Wei played against a man with a machete, only to see the latter play with a big knife, and then stood up and put on a posture, which caused a burst of applause from the audience.

Zhang Wei secretly thought: "Isn't it a trust, why are you doing such a grand event!" Zhang Wei took out the gentleman's sword and held it in his hand, and the blue fighting spirit disappeared in a flash. Still doesn't work? Zhang Wei said to himself.

The man who used the knife saw Zhang Wei show his blade, and he played with a stick of incense again, and then raised his knife to slash at Zhang Wei. Seeing that this trick was full of loopholes, Zhang Wei took a step to the right slightly, and his left palm poked out and hit the big man's chest. Dahan was not in a hurry, he hit the palm straight, anyone who took Zhang Wei's palm hard, would definitely be knocked off the ring, but at this time Zhang Wei's physical strength was weak, and he only felt that a force came from his left palm, and he couldn't even get half of his strength, and his palm was like touching Dahan's chest, and the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing.

Dahan paused for a few seconds, as if considering whether this was Zhang Wei's killer move, and then jumped backwards with all his might, fell on the stage, and shouted: "Good palm, I admit defeat." Zhang Wei shook his sore left hand, hugged his fist slightly, and said, "Accept!" Seeing the excitement in the audience is so simple, it's over, so I don't spoil the fun, seeing the excitement of other rings, there are cheers from time to time, and I hurriedly went to surround other rings. In an instant, only Zhang Wei was left here, and he beckoned to Xiao Ming under the field and walked out of the ring.

The fifteen-day competition ended quickly, Zhang Wei didn't want to be too eye-catching, and he just admitted defeat in the second game, so now Zhang Wei is ranked last in the competition, and some of the family members who are a little good at fists and kicks are ranked at the same level, and they wear brown clothes. The winners of the second and third games of the competition wore dark red clothing, those who entered the final of the competition wore blue clothing, and the top of each group wore yellow clothing.

All the warriors gathered in the martial arts arena, and the butler of the Zhao Mansion distributed two silver rewards, and everyone was very happy. Suddenly, a burst of aroma hit, causing everyone to look at the owner of the aroma. I saw a mature and beautiful woman, dressed sexy, slowly walked down from the main seat, and came to the yellow costume warrior, Ying Ying made a blessing, and said coquettishly: "The slave family's first husband went early, leaving only this big stall of family business to be taken care of by the little woman alone, how can the slave family not want to show up, and just want to be a virtuous helper." This trade is the largest business of the family, and the slave family does not dare to make a mistake, so they came up with a way to compete, and I hope that the heroes will not be surprised! After saying that, it was another bow. Everyone was fascinated by her beauty and sexy figure, and they wanted to leave after receiving the money, but they had already made up their minds to escort her to the end. The woman said: "The third generation of the slave family is in business and has a little savings, but how can the slave family have a bad fate and was born in this troubled era, I really hope that there will be a hero to protect the foundation of the Zhao family for this generation, and the slave family is to make cattle and horses to repay the kindness." After speaking, he swept the samurai in the front row, although he glanced at it, but everyone in the front row felt that he was looking at himself, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

Zhang Wei stood in the back row, unable to see the woman's face clearly, but felt that the voice was familiar, and when he was thinking about it, he actually met the woman's gaze. This woman turned out to be Zhao Yudan who gave it to Zhang Wei's mansion at the beginning! Those who can spend 5,000 taels of silver to buy a hundred-yuan bill must be rich and powerful, but why did she deliberately woo the samurai this time, is it really as she said that she needs a righteous warrior with strong martial arts to help? Or maybe there are some peerless treasures in this shipment?

In any case, anyway, this time it is also a rubbing car, as long as you go to the Central Plains safely and steadily, then you can desert and go to Xiaopei to meet Uncle Liu Huang, who has been admired for a long time.
