In the next few days, Huang Chai would go to the tavern of the shopkeeper Xu for a while every day after work. The reason why he didn't bring Huang Yan was because Huang Chai considered that his younger brother was really bullshit, his head was like paste, he couldn't speak and didn't understand the world, and if he brought him, he would only bury his head in eating and drinking, and it was useless not to say it, I was afraid that he would annoy the shopkeeper.

finally met a noble person who appreciated himself in Bianjing City, how could he let the yellow salt be disturbed.

Xu Qingcang pretended to ask Huang Chai why his brother didn't come at first, but then he didn't even bother to ask. Huang Chai estimated that this shopkeeper Xu had already seen that his brother was a useless product.

Every night, Huang Yan came to the tavern of the shopkeeper Xu, at first he would do some sprinkling and sweeping, and after working for half an hour, he would run to the shopkeeper Xu with a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts, and stand and talk to the shopkeeper Xu.

Shopkeeper Xu asked Huang Chai a lot about his hometown, and Huang Chai naturally hid the fact that he was originally from Ganzhou City in Wei State, saying that he was from Shazhou City in the Great Song Dynasty, which was adjacent to Ganzhou. The purpose of coming to Bianjing City --- to kill Chen Letian to avenge his third brother Huang Mi, so naturally he also hidden. Everything else was told the truth, even the fact that they had been horse thieves.

Huang Chai is not afraid of the shopkeeper Xu going to the official to arrest him, just because he feels that this shopkeeper Xu is not like a person who will do this. And most importantly, it doesn't do any good to the shopkeeper Xu in doing so. Huang Chai knew very well that an ant like himself was nothing at all in the eyes of a wealthy person like Shopkeeper Xu.

"Shopkeeper Xu, what is the name of your friend, can you tell me conveniently? Huang Chai said flatteringly. In fact, he can't read a lot of words, and he can write a fart letter, and he writes about the same letter.

"Fate is endless, there will be a day when we meet again, if fate is over, it will not be found in any case, do not force, do not force. Xu Qingcang waved his hand, as if he had eliminated the non-existent friend of the sandbank. As the helmsman elder who has found no less than fifty good seedlings of the Xiling faction, Xu Qingcang can see that although this Huang Chai has no knowledge, he has ambitions. He knew that there were many ambitious people in this world, but not many people with insight. Moreover, this Huang brother actually worked as a horse thief, which is even better!

The city of the border stopper, at the junction of the Song and Wei dynasties, there is not much of anything, that is, there are many thieves and bandits. In addition, in recent decades between the Song and Wei dynasties, Shazhou and Ganzhou have always been able to trade, so the personnel in the city are extremely complex, and there are everyone, if you want to live well in Shazhou and Ganzhou, you have to have a seven-trick exquisite heart, otherwise no matter how big the family business is, it will not be able to keep it.

Most people who want to live a good life have moved inward. Although the household registration law of the Great Song Dynasty did not allow people to move for no reason, young people could use the excuse of studying and studying, and they would be led south by the road in a bright way, and once they found an opportunity to settle down, they were reluctant to go back. Even if it's just one or two hundred miles inward, as long as you can leave Shazhou City, you will have hope for the future, and you don't have to live so fearfully.

So Xu Qingcang was not very surprised when he heard that the Huang brothers had been horse thieves, but just smiled and said: "If you can survive, it proves that you have the ability." ”

Huang Chai grinned, showed his black and yellow teeth, and said, "We are three brothers, the third brother died in a fight, and then our brothers were scared and came to the capital." ”

Xu Qingcang sighed: "Your choice is right, living in the capital, I don't dare to say that you will definitely be rich, but... Don't mind if I say something ugly, even if you ask for food, you can't starve to death, it's better than living on the side of the house today and not knowing if you can see the sunrise tomorrow. ”

"Yes, yes, shopkeeper Xu, you are an understanding person, we just haven't studied, if we could understand this principle earlier, we wouldn't have let the third brother lose his life, alas..."Speaking of the third brother, Huang Chai showed a sad expression.

Xu Qingcang said: "The deceased is gone, and those who are still alive must live well to be worthy of the dead." Brother Huang, what do you think about the future?" This was the seventh night, and Xu Qingcang finally stopped letting Huang Chai stand, but let him sit down and talk.

Huang Chai was stunned and said, "It's enough for the little ones to eat and drink, and they don't dare to have other thoughts..."

"Don't you dare or don't want to?" Xu Qingcang seemed to smile.

Huang Chai lowered his head, drank the wine in the cup, and was silent for a while before saying, "Don't dare." ”

Xu Qingcang stood up, put his hands behind his back, and his emaciated appearance was quite a big man in Huang Chai's eyes. So Huang Chai quickly followed and stood up, looked down at his toes, and waited for Xu Qingcang to continue.

It was only now, until this moment, that Huang Chai finally understood something.

Shopkeeper Xu has something to do with him. No matter what Shopkeeper Xu likes about him, he takes a fancy to him after all. It must be difficult and even dangerous to explain to him.

Maybe the shopkeeper Xu has an enemy who is inconvenient to do it personally, or maybe the shopkeeper Xu has an outer room that must be removed and discovered by his wife. But no matter what, Shopkeeper Xu can use his yellow firewood.

Huang Chai waited for the shopkeeper Xu to speak, and thought to himself: "This life should have been confessed to the third brother in the hands of Chen Letian a long time ago, and now I will earn one more day of life! As long as I have the opportunity to live a better life, I am willing to gamble!"

However, it took a long time for the shopkeeper Xu to come out: "Come here today, and come back tomorrow." ”

Huang Chai walked out of the tavern and looked at the dark night, unable to tell whether he was disappointed or relieved. As he walked home, he had a feeling that he hadn't felt in decades, a longing. He longed for Shopkeeper Xu to give him a chance, no matter how dangerous this opportunity was and how small the possibility of success was, he accepted it, as long as there was a chance.

After arriving at the home he had snatched from the old beggar in the southern suburbs, Huang Yan had already fallen asleep. Huang Chai kicked Huang Yan awake.

Huang Yan rubbed his eyes and said blankly: "Brother, you're back..."

"Get up, I'll tell you something. Huang Chai said.

Huang Yan obediently dressed up, lit a fire, and boiled water.

Huang Chai stared at Huang Yan for a long time, and said, "Second brother, we may be going to send it!"

"Ah, brother, what nonsense are you talking about?" Huang Yan was a little afraid to look at his eldest brother's eyes, he felt that his eldest brother's eyes were a little oozing today.

Huang Chai raised his hand, Huang Yan subconsciously shrank his neck, but the hand that had hit him many times did not hit him this time, but rarely touched his head, and then Huang Chai said: "There may be a job for us to do, which is a little dangerous, but as long as we do it, we may not have to worry about it for the rest of our lives." Of course, just maybe, it's not certain yet. Do you dare to do it with me?"
