Chapter 2 Trainee Catch
Picking up the broom again, Chen You quickly cleaned up the martial arts arena while thinking about the current situation.
This martial arts arena was huge, and all the corners and corners were cleaned, which took him most of the hour.
After cleaning the martial arts arena, he quickly passed through the courtyard and came to another place.
It was a blacksmith's workshop, and it had been his regular job for more than three months.
The weapon armor used by Wushan Capture is provided by the Mochen Prefecture Prefecture and will only be replaced once every three years.
During this period, the weapon had a chipping chip, rolled and damaged, and could only be repaired and retrained by Wushan County.
There were five craftsmen in the blacksmith's workshop, but he was the only one who did it.
At this moment, it was already late, and a few craftsmen were indispensable to abuse and reprimand, but Chen You just didn't hear it.
Carry the blank, operate the bellows, prepare various materials, and clean up the leftovers......
As the sun went down, he quickly lifted the broom and swept the entire blacksmith shop.
After cleaning before the craftsman finished working, Chen You carried half a basket of garbage and came to the back door.
The five or six naughty boys who had been waiting outside cheered and came to stand near the garbage pit.
Chen You put the basket on the steps, took out a small cloth bag, and began to pick up the scraps.
Five or six naughty boys, all glaring at him, but helpless.
Before Tatsuyo took over the blacksmith shop, there were seventeen or eighteen naughty boys waiting here to pick up scraps.
But after he came, it gradually became less and less, and now there were only five or six left.
After a cup of tea, Chen You picked out a small bag of waste materials, then lifted the basket to the side of the garbage pit and dumped it.
Five or six urchins swarmed up, rummaging through the remaining scraps.
A five- or six-year-old girl rummaged through the waste a few times, then pouted, with a pair of dark round eyes, stared at Chen You, who was about to leave, and snorted angrily: "Big brother, you have already entered the fishing room, why do you still have to fight with us children for this scrap." ”
Chen You turned around and came to the little girl.
The little girl's eyes flashed with fear, and she couldn't help but step back.
Chen You glanced at the already dark sky, then gently rubbed the little girl's hair and asked, "Little girl, have you eaten?"
The little girl's eyes flashed with confusion, but she still nodded lightly and said timidly, "Eat." ”
"I haven't eaten yet. ”
Chen You grinned, turned and walked into the twilight, heading towards the south of the city.
......
Passing by a steamed bun shop, Chen You bought Sanwen Qian Meat Buns, and then continued to the south of the city.
That's what he used to do before.
In a short time, I came to the door of a store that bought scrap products.
A thin, yellow-faced old man in his sixties was sitting on a recliner in the store, sipping tea with a pair of small eyes.
"Youyou, close the door at the end of the day!" Seeing Chen You come back, the little old man laughed, put down the tea bowl, and jumped up from the recliner.
"Meat buns for you!" Chen You handed over the oiled paper bag in his hand and walked towards the inside of the store.
"Woo Woo ......"
A small flower dog sprang out of the shop and quickly sprinkled joy around him.
"Youyou, come and eat steamed buns, meat!"
The little old man opened the oil-paper bag, took out a meat bun, barked at the little flower dog with a mouthful of yellow teeth.
The little flower dog "Youyou" was greatly excited, and the dog's body jumped and came to the old man's side.
Chen You ignored this person and dog, and went to a corner of the store by himself and opened a wooden cabinet.
"Old man Ding, you took my scrap again?" after a casual glance, he just turned around and shouted angrily.
"In the afternoon, refining refined iron, the difference is a few dollars and the weight is less than ten catties, so I borrowed a little bit of your scrap, what is the noise. ”
Old man Ding smiled nonchalantly, picked up Youyou, who was gulping down meat buns, and walked slowly towards a small attic at the back of the store.
"For the third time this month, you old fellow, you want to take advantage of me, a poor bastard?"
Chen You said even more angrily.
"How do you speak? Eat and live in my old man's house, don't you need money?" Old man Ding glared at Chen You fiercely, and then patted the little flower dog in his arms slowly: "You You, don't learn from this stinky boy, when you grow up, you must know how to respect the elderly." ”
The little flower dog Youyou, stretched his neck vigorously, barely swallowed the small half of the meat bun in his mouth, and then barked twice at Chenyou, a dog's face was full of "contempt".
"Hahaha......" Old man Ding was very happy, patted Youyou's dog's head, and continued to walk upstairs.
"I really don't know who you want to ......spend on such a lonely old man, saving money so much" Chen You retracted his gaze and muttered.
"You stinky boy...... Although the old man Ding is old, his ears are good, and when he heard this, he was immediately furious, and he took off the broken shoes on his feet and threw them towards Chenyou.
Chen You had already put down the small cloth bag, opened a portal at the back of the store, and quickly flashed in.
"White-eyed wolf, white-eyed wolf!" Old Man Ding shook his head and sighed, and walked down the stairs one by one to find his broken shoes.
......
Behind the shop, there is a semi-open warehouse for waste products.
The warehouse is about half an acre in size, with five or six compartments, and near the gate at the back, there is a pile of all kinds of waste products purchased today.
Rolling up his sleeves, Tatsuyo began to tidy up, sorting the pile of waste into categories and sending them into various compartments.
In the first year of apprenticeship, there is only a subsidy of 100 copper coins per month, 300 yuan per month in the second year, and 500 yuan per month for more than three years.
However, in the fishing room, there is no place for trainee catchers to eat and stay.
Chen You's father is in Wushan County, and in addition to knowing He Zizhang, he has a good relationship with Old Man Ding. For more than three months, he has been boarding here.
Old man Ding is okay, except for being extremely obsessed with money, the two meals and accommodation every morning and evening are well arranged, and he never treats him as an "outsider".
Since it was his own person, after Chen You came, Old Man Ding did not hesitate to quit the only guy in the store and threw the chores of sorting out the warehouse to Chen You.
Everything in the store is collected, and these messy things are quick with his hands and feet, and it took him more than half an hour to tidy them up.
Seeing that nothing had been missed, he came to the door of a small room to the east, pushed the door and entered.
Inside the small room, there are only five or six steps away, but it is very clean and tidy.
On top of the small wooden table, covered with a small basin and two plates.
Open the lid on the small pot and plate, and inside is a small pot of rice, a plate of stir-fried vegetables and a plate of fried tofu.
Chen You's heart warmed, the rice dishes were still steaming, obviously it was Old Man Ding who pinched the time and gave him another heat.
A gust of wind swept the clouds, and the rice dishes were all settled.
After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, after taking a simple bath, Chen You came to the small bed and sat down.
"I'll report to the yamen tomorrow and resign from the position of trainee catcher!"
He muttered to himself.
This is a decision made today on a day before and after.
In his previous life, he graduated from college and majored in architecture, but in the end, he was sent to a securities company and became a securities broker.
Five years of career, coupled with his own efforts, has given him a deep understanding of all walks of life.
On the other hand, in this world, business activities are still at a level similar to that of ancient times, and from his current point of view, there are a lot of loopholes to exploit and a lot of opportunities to grasp!
Zhao Jie is right, "The arm can't twist the thigh", in this world, force is the fundamental! In the future, while making money, he will enter the martial arts academy to practice martial arts, martial artists, martial artists, martial artists, martial artists, martial kings...... That's what I'm aiming for!"
"As for the hundred taels of silver, it should be fed to the dogs for the time being...... When the strength is improved in the future, I will go back ten times and ask for it ten times and a hundred times! Well, that's it. ”
After Chen You made up his mind, he pulled the futon and lay down with his clothes closed.
"Without Journey to the West, I'm really not used to sleeping......"
After lying down, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
In his previous life, he often stayed up late, resulting in lack of sleep and often dreaming.
Later, I heard a friend say that sleeping on a pillow with a book will reduce the frequency of dreaming. It just so happened that there was a copy of the ancient book Journey to the West left by his parents, so he wrapped it in a towel and slept on his pillow every day.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but he feels that it really has a little effect, so a pillow is five years, and it has become a habit.
"My Journey to the West, goodbye......" Chen You turned over and muttered.
"Hum!" suddenly trembled in his mind!
Chen You got up suddenly, with a shocked expression, and looked at the place where he was originally pillowing.
I saw that there, a thick book with a cyan cover had suddenly appeared!
"Journey to the West......
Chen You couldn't help but tremble slightly, stretched out his left hand, and touched the book.
"Buzz!"
On top of the thick book, a ball of blue light suddenly burst out and dispersed in all directions.
Chen You was dumbfounded, watching the blue light slowly gather in the middle of the hut, and gradually, condensed into a graceful palace woman's figure.
"Who are you?"
Chen You's voice was astringent, and he asked in a trembling voice.
The phantom of the woman opposite loomed, and her face was not real.
"I am, the spirit of this book. ”
The phantom of the woman in the palace costume stretched out a green jade finger, pointed to the Journey to the West classic, and said in a crisp and tactful voice.
"Book Spirit, what the hell ......?"
Chen You was another accident.
But after thinking about it, he immediately calmed down.
In this world, the legendary powerful warrior has the power to move mountains and seas. Then when he meets a "book spirit", it doesn't seem to be something that is unacceptable.
"So...... Did you bring me into this world and take Chenyou's body? I live well on earth, you seem to be ...... like this."
Chen You couldn't help but ask.
"You on the earth have died suddenly because of staying up all night. Now you are not a loser, just another self in a parallel world. ”
The book spirit replied.
"I ...... I'm already dead? No, it's me in that world, I'm dead......"
Chen You lowered his head and muttered to himself.
"Die or die...... Anyway, as an earthling, this is the end of the day!"
He was nervous, and almost instantly accepted reality again.
Looking up at the book spirit in front of him, Chen You suddenly smiled and said slowly: "I've been pillowing you for five years, and you haven't come out to see me!
Shuling's delicate body was shocked, and he stayed in place for a while.
"Ahem, I didn't mean to offend...... If you have anything to do, just say it. ”
Chen You coughed dryly a few times and continued.
The book spirit seemed to have a very thin face, and after a few breaths, he spoke again: "I was born because of human reading, mindfulness, and faith. Now, I need you to collect these three powers for me!"
