The old man nodded, and his expression softened a little: "In this way, I have been to Heshi Village, who would have thought that it would be ......?"

As he spoke, he waved down Gu Qing's name and said with a smile: "The old man sees that you are not very old, such hard work, you can still do it for food now, but you can't do it for a lifetime." ”

"Thank you, old Bertie...... Mention, mention. Gu Qing scratched his head, took the photo post and smirked a few times, and hurried towards the boat without delay.

The beard looked at his back and said casually: "This kid has practiced martial arts, and his foundation is not bad." ”

The old man sighed: "The place in Heshi Village is actually not bad, but unfortunately some time ago, the river burst its embankment, and the entire village was flooded for dozens of miles around it.

This kid has roots, I guess eighty percent because he is in the fishing team and hunting team in the village, and he has been taught to be patiently trained. ”

Hearing this, he couldn't help but smile: "You want to carry him?"

The old man didn't say much: "Let's take a look again and see if this kid is qualified." ”

......

After moving the goods at the dock for a whole day, after Gu Qing received the wages with great gratitude, he found a nearby shop and bought a few hard multigrain flatbreads.

However, the amount of food he eats is too large, and the food is often digested in an instant as soon as it reaches his stomach. It wasn't until today's wages were all spent that Gu Qing was able to eat three points full.

He touched his stomach unsatisfied, looked at the flatbread and swallowed his saliva fiercely, and silently lowered his head and walked towards his residence.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded next to him: "The salary is not enough for you to eat?"

"Which ......" Gu Qing subconsciously opened his mouth, and when he looked up and saw the old man, he couldn't help scratching his head and laughing: "Maybe I've done too little, just wait until I'm familiar with it." ”

The old man glanced at him, listened to the gurgling sound coming from Gu Qing's stomach, and chuckled: "Even if you are tired from work, you won't be able to eat." ”

Gu Qing's face changed, and he lowered his head in some embarrassment and stopped talking.

If it's an ordinary person, it's okay, and the reward for hard work can not only feed enough, but also support the family. But Gu Qing is a martial artist, how much more than ten times the amount of food? Even if you eat the cheapest flatbread, this amount of money can't fill your stomach.

A smile flashed in the old man's eyes, and he walked forward with his hands behind his back: "Hehe, the old man sees that you are honest, you are not lazy in your work, I will reward you with a mouthful of food, if you want to do it, come with me." ”

Gu Qing stood in place, stunned and looked at him with a slightly thin but very tall back, hesitated for a while, until the other party was about to disappear to the corner of the street, and finally gritted his teeth and followed.

Hearing the footsteps, the old man's eyes flashed a hint of triumph, and the corners of his mouth turned up and his beard trembled slightly.

Coming to the backyard of the Wang family, the old man coughed and said: "Now, my Sanzhu Gang is the time to employ people, and it is very welcome to those who are willing to endure hardships.

The old man will show you a clear way, join my Sanzhu Gang as a long-term worker, sign a ten-year long-term work contract, other old men dare not guarantee it, but there is a full meal, and the salary of ten taels of silver per month is there, and you also know it during the New Year's holidays and the like.

The other way is similar, but the risk is greater than the former, it is also to join the Sanzhu Gang, and there is no need to sign a work contract, what is done is the work of carrying a knife and selling his life, and doing a good job is a reward, and he has money and power, but he has to be willing to fight. ”

Gu Qing looked thoughtful, as if he was weighing which of the two would be more rewarding and more worthwhile.

The old man is not in a hurry, he can afford to wait. He had been observing Gu Qing on the dock for a long time before, and the age on the photo post was not very old, less than twenty years old, but this guy worked from morning to night, and he didn't rest once.

If it wasn't for the innate divine power, then it could only be that this guy had practiced for a few years, and his foundation was solid, and after seeing him eating, he gave a conclusion, and Gu Qing immediately reached the point of condensing the essence of the five internal organs.

To be sure, this is not a fast progress, as long as there is a sufficient supply of energy in the initial stage, the talent is not too bad, and it is generally completed in two years or even less.

But to achieve this, it often takes a lot of essence supplements, and even the most basic dietary supplements are enough to bankrupt ordinary families.

So in such a comparison, Gu Qing can reach this point at this age, it can only be said that he is extremely talented, and he is born to practice martial arts.

For this kind of character, all forces have always been open to welcome, after all, with a little training, they can become the backbone, and the cost is extremely limited.

Gu Qing scratched his head with a wry smile: "I, uncle, I don't know which one to choose." ”

The old man also said that it was understandable for him to answer this way, after all, a half-grown young man who had just arrived in a strange place had little experience, and his life experience was almost none.

It is not difficult to see from the fact that Gu Qing, as a martial artist, still went to the dock to work hard, he didn't know anything at all, and he was completely stunned.

"The old man suggests that you choose the second one. ”

The old man thought for a while and said with a smile: "A good man is determined to become famous, if you don't fight at a good age now, you won't even have a chance to fight in the future."

Risk often means gain, to be honest, your talent is not bad, if you are smart, it is not difficult to make a name for yourself. ”

"Well, I'll listen to you. Gu Qing clenched his fists, and his speech was slightly rapid, and he could vaguely hear a bit of forcibly stabilizing his emotions.

The old man took out a jade plate, handed it to Gu Qing and said, "You can take this thing, go to Du Yanhu, and just say that Steward Lin will let you go over." ”

Gu Qing carefully pretended, and said with a stiff face: "Thank you for bringing me, wait for me to come...... Coming ......"

Old man Lin waved his hand and smiled dumbly: "Come on, the coming day will be long, let's talk about it." ”

After all, he is a kid who has never been in the world, and he can't even say flattering words, looking at the back of Gu Qing leaving, a little smile appeared on Old Man Lin's face.

"In this wave of acting, I can win the Berlin actor. The corners of Gu Qing's mouth curled, playing with the jade card in his hand, and a touch of coldness flashed between his eyebrows.

Actually, Gu Qing didn't expect things to come to this point. He knew from the beginning that there was no urgency in this matter, so he went over just to see if there was anything to take advantage of.

Who would have thought that just because of his age, he was directly looked at by the other party, which really left Gu Qing with a lot of effort, after all, this matter is indeed difficult at the beginning, once it gets off to a good start, the difficulty will be much less later.

Of course, this Steward Lin is not a fuel-efficient lamp, how can he trust him completely with confidence, and all the words he said?

Afterwards, Gu Qing's information must be verified, and in addition to the conversation, there was also a small pit buried in this guy - Old Man Lin did not tell Gu Qing who Du Yanhu was and where Du Yanhu was.

Maybe it's a school exam, maybe it's a temptation, or both?

Moreover, this guy seems to be honest and kind in his words, but he didn't say it at all, behind the Sanzhu Gang is actually the behemoth of the Wang family.

In a word, to put it bluntly, I still don't believe Gu Qing, everything has to wait for someone here to find out his details.

Since the other party didn't say it, Gu Qing wouldn't show his clues, he was afraid that someone would be watching his every move in the dark, so in order to avoid accidents, it was better to do a full set of acts.

I saw that he hesitated for a long time with the jade plate, as if he was thinking about how to find Du Yanhu, and he wanted to turn around and ask Steward Lin three times, but every time he turned around and wanted to raise his hand to knock on the door, he fell into hesitation again.

Suddenly, Gu Qing seemed to have come up with an idea, the embarrassment on his face dissipated a little, and he walked back to his residence quickly with the jade plate.

Early the next morning, he rushed to the dock again, and sure enough, he didn't see Steward Lin again, but the boat of the Sanzhu Gang was still parked there, and Gu Qing hurriedly walked over.

When he came to the beard, he showed the jade card and respectfully explained the conversation with Steward Lin yesterday, and then said his intentions and asked where Du Yanhu was.

The beard glanced at him in some surprise, and without hiding too much, he pointed him in the direction.

After Gu Qing thanked him three times and left, the figure of Old Man Lin suddenly walked out of the cabin, looking at Gu Qing's back and smiling silently.

The beard had a slight understanding, and asked with a chuckle, "Are you testing him?"

"That's right. ”

Old Man Lin nodded, and explained while registering his name: "If that kid only has a good foundation, in the end it will be the life of a thug, so you don't need to pay too much attention."

But now it seems that although this guy has no experience in dealing with things, he is not a dead brain, and his head will spin in circles, which is much better, at least much better than the guy who only knows how to work hard. ”

The beard smiled and said, "Tsk, it seems that you have really picked up a talent." ”

Steward Lin replied: "It's just that he has great potential, whether he is a talent or not depends on whether he can go on." If you die halfway, what's the use of being a talent?"

The rivers and lakes are like the sea, the tide rises and falls, and only those who go to the end are qualified to talk about the past, and most of them have lost their lives halfway.

Talent?Genius?

There is no shortage of these things in this world, there are too many geniuses, too many talents, but most of them will fall and die in the middle of the road, like a meteor that will be fleeting, although dazzling, it will eventually be forgotten.

Miscellaneous Courtyards.

Gu Qing met the long-rumored Du Yanhu, a man who was two meters tall and at least more than three hundred pounds, under the guidance of others.

Without saying a word, he directly took out the jade plate, bowed his head respectfully and said, "Du Ye, my name is Gu Qing, and Steward Lin asked me to bring this to you." ”

"Old man Lin?"

Du Yanhu played with the jade card, looked at Gu Qing casually, and hooked his hand at the person next to him: "Lu Yan, go and help him, give it a try." ”

The young man next to him, wearing a short coat and a hideous scar like a centipede on his forehead, looked vicious, but he spoke unexpectedly kindly.

He arched his hand and took the lead and walked out: "Friend, let's try our hands on the field, and stop when we get there." Figure out the basics, and arrange for you to do things. ”

Gu Qing nodded again and again, followed the other party to the field outside, looked around, walked to the weapon rack, took out a long knife, weighed it in his hand a few times, and looked up at Lu Yan: "Brother Lu, I'm ready." ”
