Senior Brother Ling's lessons were still very practical, at least for these teenagers who had not participated in the battle, it was quite unfinished.

After the totem power switching technique was finished, he asked the teenagers to try it on the spot, and he gave guidance, which was a rare opportunity that no one wanted to miss.

After everyone tried it in front of Senior Brother Ling, the class was announced to be over, and the students left in twos and threes.

He left with the fat boy, who invited him to his house, but he excused himself on the grounds of paying tuition.

Leaving the fat boy, he walked deeper into the dojo and walked into a courtyard with the words "Finance Office" written on it.

"What's the reason for this time? Did the money your parents send you smuggle by the convoy, or did you fall into a mountain stream and can't find it?"

As soon as he entered, the middle-aged woman who was eating inside immediately asked.

Looking at the meat foam in her mouth, she had no appetite at all, but she could only face it with a smile.

"The money has arrived, but my friend has borrowed a little urgently, and there is still a string missing, so I will hand over a string today. ”

As he spoke, he took out the copper coin he had just received from his bosom and handed it over.

The middle-aged woman wiped her mouth with her right hand, touching the little greasy that she had all over her chin, and glanced at her eyes, but immediately withdrew it, and the smile on her face became stronger.

"Boom. ”

Taking a string of copper coins, the middle-aged woman weighed it and frowned a little dissatisfied.

"You are accommodating, I must ask my friends to pay back the money quickly, it must be fast. ”

As he spoke, he glanced left and right, and saw that there was no one else in the room, so he hurriedly took out the ten cents that had been prepared from his clothes and sent it up.

The middle-aged woman's eyes lit up, and the sleeve of her right hand stretched forward, and with a stroke on the table, ten cents disappeared into her sleeve.

"I see that it's not easy for you to study outside alone, otherwise I won't help you, your tuition has been delayed for too long, so if you can't do it, you can go to an ordinary dojo, there is no need to come to the fire. ”

He nodded again and again, saying yes yes in his mouth, looking humbly taught.

"A month at most, and if I don't make it up again, it's hard to explain here, so don't blame me for being ruthless in the future. ”

He nodded his head like pounding garlic, and thanked him for a while before turning to leave.

Out of the courtyard, he touched his shriveled pockets, and then touched his equally shriveled belly, and his brows furrowed.

"Alas. ”

With a sigh, he turned around and walked to the hiding place, took off his clothes, carefully put them in the wooden box he was carrying, and took out a piece of animal skin from it and put it around his waist.

His hands were covered with dirt on the ground and smeared on his face, and then he walked out.

This time he walked along the path towards the depths of the dojo, and along the way he always met people dressed in animal skins like him, and they would always look out of place if they walked on the main road of the dojo.

When he came to a dilapidated courtyard in the depths, he pushed the door and walked in, and there was an old man inside, half-lying there as if he was asleep.

"I'm coming, old man. ”

As he spoke, he carefully placed the wooden box on his back on the ground.

"It's late today. ”

The white-haired old man opened his eyes, and instead of getting up in a hurry, he first buttoned his eyes, and then snorted again, before he raised his head to look at him.

"The teacher pressed the class, and I couldn't help it. ”

He casually made up a reason and said.

"Lying and peeing, not saying a word of truth in your mouth, go to work. ”

The old man shook his hand and pointed to a ditch not far away.

The boy smiled, but did not refute, and walked quickly to the ditch, only to find that the stone on it had not yet been opened.

"Old man, how can I get in if the stone is not opened. ”

"Oh, forgot. ”

The old man got up as if he had suddenly come to his senses, twisted his stiff body and came to the ditch.

The stone slab on the ditch was so large that it didn't look like it could be moved by one person, but the old man didn't care, and stretched out one arm to buckle under the slate, and without seeing how much force he exerted, he lifted the slate up and twisted it to the side.

"Old man, do you have any secret to this great power? Teach me, and I'll make you a good wine." ”

The old man glanced at him and snorted: "It's so strict outside, can you get in?"

"Yes. ”

He said with certainty, and then leaned into the old man's ear, wanting to whisper something, but the old man slapped him away impatiently: "If there is a fart, let it go, there is no one else in this place." ”

He sneered and didn't go any further, but still whispered: "You know that smuggler of salt in the south of the city, he wants to entertain those dignitaries and nobles, and ask me to get him a jar of wine, a string of money and a jar, and I will get it." ”

The old man's eyes lit up, and he was quite surprised: "Amazing, how did you get it?"

He shook his head and smiled, "Secret." ”

The old man didn't delve into it anymore, but said, "Bring me an altar, and I'll teach you this method of great strength, how about it?"

The young man summed it up in his heart and said, "Bantan, if you don't think it's enough, you can only do it next month." ”

The old man immediately nodded: "Then half an altar, it's really hard to be hungry for the past two days, you work, I'll go and sleep again." ”

He nodded, and when he saw the old man back in the courtyard and lay down, he took off his pants and jumped into the ditch naked.

It turned out that the ditch was the sewer of the dojo, and it was full of filth, and the boy was in charge of dredging it here.

When he came out of his work, his body was stinky, and the old man thought he was dirty, so he threw him a copper plate and told him to leave quickly.

He picked up the copper coin on the ground, turned around and picked up his wooden box and walked out.

This time, he didn't dodge again, and went straight out of the dojo and went straight out of the fire along the South Gate Street.

After walking hard in the wind and snow, and seeing that there was no one around, the young man took off his animal skin skirt, rolled happily in the snow, and washed away all the filth on his body.

When he was sure that he was clean, the boy washed his animal skin skirt in the snow again, and then carefully opened the wooden box and put his clothes back on.

He only had this one sackcloth, and if it was dirty, he would wash it, and if he washed it a few times, it would be bad, and he couldn't afford to buy a new one.

Dressed in sackcloth and walking back to Gen Town in the wind and snow, after greeting the patrol police, he walked back to his home along the deserted street.

It was a low-slung house, which was originally the family's warehouse, which he rented out for two quarters of a penny.

When he returned to his room, he immediately dragged off his sackcloth, and instead of wearing the animal skin skirt that still smelled a little in the wooden box, he found a new one to put on.

By the faint light outside, he took out the animal skin recorded today, and carefully looked at it several times from beginning to end.

Sleepiness welled up, so he fell asleep with the hide in his hands.

"Goo-goo-goo......"

A cry came from his stomach, which woke him up from the middle of the night, rubbed his eyes, got up and went to a bag of animal skins, grabbed a handful of fried yellow millet from it and ate it in his mouth, and then he got up to boil water.

Staring at the water slowly boiling, he brought the bowl and chopsticks, poured yellow millet into the bowl, added hot water, and then carefully took out a small animal skin bag from the corner of the bed.

"Not enough to eat this month. ”

Flipping the animal skin bag twice, he sighed, and slowly opened the animal skin bag and poured it into the bowl.

This is the private salt with sand and gravel, the only seasoning agent for his bowl of rice, and it is also for the body to replenish salt.

When he was in a writing class, he heard the teacher say that people need to eat salt, otherwise they will lose their strength, and someone asked what to do in the days when there was no salt before.

Ru Mao drinks blood.

This is not a good way, it seems barbaric, not to mention, if Ru Mao drinks blood, what is the difference between it and the southern barbarians and the northern barbarians.

Putting aside these chaotic thoughts in my head, I carefully put away the salt bag, and after eating, I fell asleep again.

The next morning, he got up early, picked up his wooden box again and walked out of the house, leaving Gen Town.

This time he didn't go to the fire capital, but changed direction and headed towards Kun Town in the southwest, where he was going to find the black water.

He has been doing this for some years, but he is familiar with the way, and after coming to Kunzhen, he went straight to the goal.

"I can't do it, the investigation is too strict, I heard that it's because the north wants food again, and I can't survive it on the top, so I gave some, the food is not enough, people may be hungry, where is there any heart to brew black water." ”

He reluctantly left this black workshop and walked towards the next place, just in time for the owner of the next black workshop to be pressed out by the patrol police, obviously exposed.

The man recognized him, but instead of reporting him, he glanced at him and followed the patrolman away.

I walked a few more houses, and the answer was basically the same, there was no blackwater left.

After walking through all the blackwater workshops that Kunzhen knew, he finally found that none of them had blackwater, and then he understood why the smuggler was giving such a high price.

This black water is really hard to find.

He still remembers that he drank this thing when he was a child, and although the wine was expensive at that time, it was not so expensive that it could not be consumed, but now it is really sky-high and he can't find a jar.

A little weakly left Kunzhen and returned to Genzhen, lying on his animal skin blanket, thinking about the tuition money, and then thinking about the huge power, he felt that he couldn't just give up.

"Kunzhen doesn't have it, just go to Kanzhen to take a look, there were the most black water sellers back then, there will always be some grain in stock, for money and strength, you always have to fight. ”

He made up his mind in his heart and forced himself to sleep, preparing to go to Kanzhen tomorrow to have a look.

Kanzhen is in the north of Genzhen, where the origin of winemaking was originally made, but later it was suppressed because the blackwater dealers were too rampant, and since then it has bid farewell to the name of the wine country.

But "a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff", he felt that he still had to try, after all, there were too many things to get this time.

With this in mind, he went to Kanzhen the next day, and he ran up and down Kanzhen in one day, but no one had black water at all.

Some people even persuaded him not to move this thought, this time the top was too strict, and two of them had already been cut off from Qianzhen, and three were also cut off when they left the town, and those who were dragged away from Genzhen yesterday were also beheaded.

Don't do it in this case, it's not worth it to be beheaded.

He smiled and explained to the person, and left with great gratitude, but turned his head and continued to look for it.

The whole Kanzhen was not found, but when he returned home, he still did not give up, and decided to go to the field again the next day, after all, the workshops of these black water dealers are outside, and if you can't get it, you can still pick up a jar.

With this beautiful and boundless fantasy, he slowly fell asleep.
