Chapter 5 Heaven is ruthless, and human life is sloppy
The sun sets, and the night falls.
After dinner, all the miscellaneous servants of the Skylark House gathered in a hall.
Because today is the last day of the month, the day when the Skylark House is paid.
Everyone's face was filled with excitement, and those old handymen were just that, after all, they were people who had come over and had experienced receiving wages, and their faces were quite calm, but those newcomers who had just joined the Skylark Building were probably very excited because they were about to get the first pot of gold in their lives for the first time.
Among them, including Zhao Zhen.
"After a month of hard work, I can finally receive ten taels of silver, and if I let my father and sister know, I will definitely be very happy. β
Zhao Zhen stood in a corner of the hall and thought in his heart: "Every three months, there can be a chance to ask for leave for five days, originally I planned to ask for leave to go home tomorrow, but now there is no need to worry, it is better to raise the fetus first, and cultivate to the realm of the day after tomorrow." β
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe, a jade crown on his head, and a slightly chubby figure walked into the hall. Behind him, there are also two green armor guards, hanging a treasure knife on his waist, Kong Wu is powerful, between walking, the pace is steady, at a glance, he knows that he is a practitioner, and his strength is not low.
"I've seen Deacon Zhang. β
When the middle-aged man walked into the hall, all the handymen bowed forward, not daring to slack off in the slightest, and said respectfully.
This person is the miscellaneous deacon of the Skylark Tower, Zhang Youfu, who wants to accept Zhao Zhen's sister Zhao Xuan as a concubine.
As a miscellaneous deacon, his rights are not low, and the departure and stay of the more than 100 people present are all under Zhang Youfu's control, so no one dares to offend him, otherwise I am afraid that he will be covered and left immediately.
"Hmm!"
Zhang Youfulong strode straight to a chair above the hall, waved his big hand, and sat down.
"Presumably, when you joined the Skylark Tower, you all memorized the rules, and I won't say much nonsense, but now I read the name of the person, give me a list. β
Zhang Youfu's voice was loud and powerful, resounding throughout the hall, making everyone hear it clearly. As he spoke, there was an extra booklet in his hand, on which were written the four big characters "List of Miscellaneous Servants".
Obviously, the names of all the miscellaneous servants, are recorded.
"He Guang, Shen Tao, Ding Changshou. Zhang Youfu took the roster and called out three names in a row.
"In the Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· In!" Three trembling voices rang out from the crowd, and then three men of about twenty-five or sixteen years old walked out.
"You three, you can leave. Zhang Youfu said coldly.
"Huh, where are you going?" the three of them were stunned for a moment, and their faces turned extremely pale.
"Go home, you've been fired, and you're no longer the handyman of the Skylark Tower. Zhang Youfu's voice revealed ruthlessness.
"No, I have worked so hard to enter the Skylark Tower, how can I leave?"
"Why do you expel us, I don't accept it!"
"Deacon Zhang, don't think that if you are a miscellaneous deacon, you can use chicken feathers as an arrow and bend the law for personal gain, do you want to fire us and then embezzle our wages?"
The three of them exclaimed, looked at Zhang Youfu on the seat, and shouted unwillingly.
In the crowd, they also began to talk about it, speculating about what was going on, and many people changed their faces, after all, as handymen, they were all poor, and if their wages were stolen, I am afraid that there would be no way to live.
"I don't repent!" Zhang Youfu sneered on his face: "You three, you are too lazy to do it, you have not completed the assigned work many times, and you have stolen the things of the Skylark Tower and sold them outside, and then went to the casino to gamble for money, do you think these things can be unaware, I don't know?"
Zhang Youfu had already made up his mind and acted reasonably, as soon as these words came out, the faces of the three of them instantly turned pale and collapsed to the ground, and the others also understood what was going on, and then quieted down.
"Don't, Deacon Zhang, we all know it's wrong, let's stay, from now on, we must change our ways, work diligently and conscientiously, and never dare to slack off." β
The three of them kowtowed desperately on the ground, crying and screaming, and their voices were extremely miserable.
"Get out!"
Zhang Youfu was ruthless, he didn't have any affection to talk about at all, he acted completely according to the rules of the Skylark Tower, and he was determined to expel the three of them.
"Two brothers, you have probably seen Zhang Youfu's cold-bloodedness, there is no room for turning back in this matter, if we lose this errand, we will all starve to death on the streets, horizontal and vertical is death, it is better to give it a go, maybe you can snatch some gold and silver treasures, and then you can be happy wherever you go. β
Among the three, a man named He Guang flashed murderous intent in his eyes, got up from the ground, and said sharply.
"Zhang Youfu is in such a hurry to get rid of us, he must have accepted other people's money, and he wants to arrange a new person to take our place, damn it, if you don't kill this thief, I am unwilling!"
"Kill!"
γγγγγγγγ
As soon as the voice fell, I saw that the three of them took out a short knife from their arms, and the sharp edge was exposed, obviously they had already discussed and prepared, and at this time they broke out, and the husband was angry, and the three of them became tigers, and the sound was huge.
If it was an ordinary person, I am afraid that he would have been stunned at this time, but Zhang Youfu's face did not change, he sat on the chair peacefully, calmly looking at the three people who rushed quickly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was looking at a dead person.
Bang!
Suddenly, just when the three of them fiercely rushed to Zhang Youfu's position less than a zhang, the sound of scabbard rubbing suddenly sounded in the hall, and then the knife flashed, poof, blood splashed five steps, and the three of them stopped abruptly, and they fell in a pool of blood, with unwilling death in their eyes.
It's too late, it's fast, just a short moment, and the three living lives are gone.
Heaven is ruthless, and human life is like a mustard, which is vividly reflected in this world.
"It was those two guards who shot and killed the three of them, the realm of the day after tomorrow!"
Zhao Zhen stood in the crowd, his eyes stared, he saw the whole process, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart: "This is the gap between ordinary people and people in the acquired realm, it is simply the difference between cloud and mud, like slaughtering a dog, when will I have such power, the acquired realm, the acquired realm, the acquired realmΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Zhao Zhen's heart was instantly full of heat, if he had changed before, he would definitely feel sad about the death of the three people, the same suffering people, the end would not be much better, maybe one day in the future, others stood in his current position, and saw himself lying in a pool of blood, unwilling to die.
At the same time, Zhao Zhen finally saw Zhang Youfu's iron-blooded ruthlessness, if half a year later, his sister married him as a concubine, I am afraid that it would really be like Wu Ming and others said, the fate was miserable, and the corpse was thrown into the wilderness.
Zhao Zhen will never allow this matter, and in his heart, he is thinking about how to solve this matter: "Strength! Only I have stepped into the acquired realm, and I have the strength that others can't resist me, and when the time comes, no one can hurt my family." β
Zhao Zhen's eyes shone brightly, and at this moment, his desire for power was so eager.
"It's not a pity to die, I, Zhang Youfu, have been in the Skylark Tower for so many years, is it so easy to kill?" Zhang Youfu sneered: "I have long known that you are ruthless, and you even dare to steal things from the Skylark Tower, and what else do you dare not do, so I brought two guards in the building to correct the law." β
Zhang Youfu had no sympathy for the death of the three people, and soon someone dragged their bodies out, I am afraid that tonight, those jackals, tigers and leopards will have to have a full meal again.
"Okay, you don't have to be nervous, these three people are all pests, they have broken the rules of the Skylark Tower, and they have been punished, and you are all diligent people, and you don't have the slightest slack in your work, which is very good. I won't say more nonsense, start paying now, and if you read your name, come up and get paid. β
After speaking, Zhang Youfu picked up the list of miscellaneous servants again, spit out the names one by one, and put down the silver hair of a white flower ingot.
Those who received the money instantly showed excited looks on their faces, the bloody killing just now had long been forgotten by everyone!
γγγγγγγ
In the dead of night, the stars are shining, and the moon is like a silver plate.
Drink!
A huge stone, weighing fifty catties, was held above his head by Zhao Zhen, and then he started running, running by the Qingshui River, at first very slowly, but gradually, his speed began to increase.
After receiving their wages, the other handymen went back to their rooms to rest and meet tomorrow's work, but Zhao Zhen ran to the Qingshui River and began to exercise his body.
What happened just now had a great impact on him, he was eager for strength, whether it was to protect his family or to deal with the impending danger, he couldn't relax in the slightest, otherwise he couldn't finish what Wei Bufan had explained, and whether he could survive or not was a question.
"Master Wei Bufan said that the best age to raise a fetus is from the age of six, and now that I have reached the age of fifteen, I have missed the best cultivation age, and it is impossible to achieve anything, but I have the Dragon and Tiger Golden Pill, which is enough to make up for these, and even surpass others, the only thing I have to do is... Try!"
Zhao Zhen ran with a boulder in both hands, and Wei Bufan's words sounded in his mind.
This is a way of strength training that Wei Bufan told him, through weight-bearing running, he can greatly exercise the endurance of the body, strengthen the flesh and blood of the whole body, increase strength, and greatly consume physical strength, so that the blood circulation accelerates, stimulates the medicinal power of the Dragon Tiger Jindan, and constantly enhances his physique.
However, this method is extremely dangerous, if you are not careful, your physical strength will be exhausted, and you will not be able to support the weight of the boulder.
Therefore, the children of those rich and noble families did not dare to try this way of training, and could only use their legs, feet, hands, abdomen, and neckΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β· Tie sandbags to other positions, practice slowly, accumulate over time, and finally change to iron to train strength.
However, Zhao Zhen has the Dragon Tiger Golden Pill, and whenever his physical strength is exhausted, a stream of medicinal power will come from his heart to replenish the energy consumed, so he dares to use this dangerous way of training.
