Chapter 2: A New Beginning

Two days later, the sun rose in the east, and the sun was shining.

Second Uncle Lin Hu took someone to drive Lin Hu away in a carriage early in the morning. On the carriage, Lin Hu looked at the figure of the eldest brother, sister-in-law and younger brother gradually moving away, Lin Hu did not have too much reluctance, but more of a longing for the upcoming life.

Soon, however, the excitement wore out little by little as the carriage wore off on the bumpy road.

Whether it was in his previous life or in this life, Lin Hu had never enjoyed this treatment.

In the previous life, after gradually entering the modern society, the carriage disappeared into the mainstream society, except for some special occasions, it is difficult to see again, so there is no such opportunity, and in this life, there is no such opportunity.

Helpless, Lin Hu had no choice but to start closing his eyes and recuperating. However, those who don't know, such as his second uncle, thought he was resting, but in fact, he was really reading novels, yes, he was reading novels.

It may be the reason for the time travel, his memories of his past life are unusually clear, including those that have been forgotten, such as the occasional advertising slogan, the date of the news, etc. When he is bored, he recalls the novels he saw in his previous life, and movies are the best way for him to spend time. Although some novels have been read more than once, some classics are also never tired of reading, and who makes him bored.

When it was almost noon, the carriage passed by a market town, the population of the market town was about 3,000, it was the largest market town in the ten miles and eight townships, and the surrounding villagers had some mountain goods or something to trade here, and by the way, they would exchange some daily necessities or something. Back then, Lin Hu's father traded here with occasional gains.

My uncle and nephew and a coachman had a hurried lunch here and went on our way again.

In the afternoon, when Lin Hu thought that the car would be as dull as in the morning, the second uncle spoke: "Ah Hu, I don't know what you think about the future, if you don't have any ideas for the time being, you might as well be a buddy with me first, it's a lot more convenient for me to take care of, isn't it?"

Ah Hu is Lin Hu's nickname, his father and mother called him that when he was a child, and after his parents died, few people called him that anymore, and most of the others called him Lin Er or Xiaohuzi.

Lin Hu was stunned, he didn't expect this second uncle to be quite open-minded, and just as he was sorting out the language and wanted to say something, the second uncle continued: " Back then, when I went to Qishan Town, I also started from a small second, and now it has been so many years, thanks to the old club's attention, not only let people teach me to read and count, but also married my only daughter to me, not afraid of your jokes, although I am rich, but I have always been grateful to my father-in-law, but, these years have been under the knee no children, if, you come over, the future of this restaurant may be yours. ”

In all fairness, if it was an ordinary mountain village kid, nine times out of ten he would be moved.

But Lin Hu Lin Hu just thought about it for a while, and then refused.

First, he didn't want to trouble his second uncle too much, and he didn't want to stay in a restaurant for the rest of his life, even if he had the opportunity to be the owner of that restaurant in the future, he just had the opportunity to repay his second uncle in the future.

When he was a little older, he heard many legends of fairy magic weapons from the fortune teller in the village, although it is also possible that the fortune teller deceived him, but who really believed it?

Lin Hu's idea is very simple, he wants to be a medicine boy or a blacksmith apprentice first. And after the experience of his previous life, he was also fed up with his weak body, so he chose to strike iron, in his impression, the body of iron striking is relatively strong, and learning to strike iron can be regarded as laying a good foundation for future refining weapons, right? Of course, this is just his wishful thinking, and the specific right and wrong are not yet known.

After seeing Lin Hu reject himself and get Lin Hu's wish to become a blacksmith, the second uncle was a little disappointed, but he didn't say much. After all, everyone has their own ambitions, and he doesn't have much to say, besides, he is still young now, maybe when will he have a child? Even if he doesn't, doesn't Lin Hu have a younger brother?

Later in the road, the carriage looked a little dull.

When he was about to arrive in the town, the second uncle told Lin Hu a few words to be calm and calm in case of trouble, and not to easily conflict with others.

In the evening, the carriage arrived at the entrance of the town. The name of the town is Qishan Town, which is said to be a town, but it is not smaller than some small counties in the previous life, with a population of more than 100,000.

Qishan Town, which is the closest town to the Qiyun Mountains in Cangzhou, is remote but prosperous, because it is the most convenient passage to Qiyun Mountain.

Cangzhou is the most marginal state in the southeast direction of Dali, and Qiyun Mountain is a natural barrier between Dali and the Nanyue Dynasty. Although the two countries have been hostile to each other for hundreds of years, there has never been an example of a war in Qiyun Mountain, because the Qiyun Mountain Range is too big, stretching for thousands of miles, among which there are many poisonous insects and beasts, and there are many legends of big demons in the depths of the mountain.

Maybe individual masters can cross the Qiyun Mountain Range, but if you want tens of thousands of troops to cross the Qiyun Mountain together, it is really a big joke, I believe that the countless demon beasts and demon clans in the Qiyun Mountain will go crazy, in their eyes, this is a naked invasion.

As for the explanation, this is even more of a joke, if the demon beasts can explain it, the world will have no fighting conflicts for a long time, and if the restlessness of the demon beasts in Qiyun Mountain forms a beast tide, it will be unbearable for any country, even if it can't shake the country's foundation, it is inevitable that the vitality will be greatly damaged.

Moreover, even if the two countries really had the ability to ignore the threat posed by the Qiyun Mountain Range, the 100,000 mountains behind the Qiyun Mountain would be able to discourage them.

100,000 mountains, does not really refer to 100,000 mountains, this is an imaginary finger, but also the real forbidden land of human beings, no one knows how vast it is, but as far as is known, among the 100,000 mountains, there are tens of millions of mountains that exceed 1,000 zhang.

And the Qiyun Mountain Range is only a branch of the periphery of the 100,000 mountains.

Therefore, neither country has set up any military fortresses on the edge of Qiyun Mountain. However, some businessmen from the two countries have a strong interest in all kinds of demon beast skins, inner pills, cubs, various medicinal herbs, and some rare spiritual objects that occasionally appear in Qiyun Mountain.

It is also because of their attention that it attracts many adventurers every year, and there are also some young warriors who will also go to Qiyun Mountain for training, of course, only on the periphery of Qiyun Mountain, which is why Qishan Town is located in a remote area, but it is extremely prosperous.

Qishan Town is mainly divided into five parts, and the center is the most prosperous place in the town. All the big inns in the town, and some trading places are here.

The north of the town is a forbidden area for ordinary people, and this is also where the yamen in Qishan Town is located. The area directly east of the town is inhabited by people with heads and faces in the town, and it is the rich area of the town.

Due south are small shops and workshops, where most of the common people live.

As for the southwest, it is also a forbidden area for ordinary people, because it is the territory of the Broken Knife Society.

The Broken Knife Club is the largest gang in Qishan Town, controlling several land and water wharves similar to Qishan Town under the jurisdiction of Jiyang County, and the merchants' goods must pay a fee to this gang whether they are transported in or out, which is also one of the gang's sources of income.

The gangs in this world are not all triad in nature, they can also be said to be a kind of monopoly organization that controls various effective resources by virtue of their own strong strength, and an economic entity with the nature of the underworld.

And their main income is not the kind of protection money collection and debt collection that Lin Hu thinks, this kind of thing is the kind of thing that scoundrels are willing to do.

In the eyes of the locals, the Broken Knife would be a behemoth, but they have always guarded their bottom line and not had any conflicts with the local Yamen, although the entire Yamen is only thirty or forty people, which is only stronger than a slightly larger adventuring team.

With the strength of the Broken Knife Society, although the entire Yamen can be destroyed in an instant, but they don't dare, although the Yamen is small, it is the face of the Dali Dynasty, in the final analysis, the Broken Knife Society is just a gang at the bottom of the rivers and lakes of the Dali Dynasty, and it does not have the strength to compete with Dali, maybe they can destroy the Yamen of Qishan Town in an instant, but, soon, the imperial court will let them leave no chickens and dogs.

And the relationship between the Broken Knife Society and the yamen is not the same as that between rats and cats, officers and soldiers and robbers.

On the contrary, the yamen in Qishan Town not only have nothing to do with the Broken Knife Society, they usually have many places to rely on the Broken Knife Society.

When some powerful warriors make trouble in Qishan Town, and it is difficult to cope with the strength of the yamen, at this time, the yamen will ask the masters of the Broken Knife Society to make a move, and the Broken Knife Society will gladly agree in order to sell the face of the court.

If gangs like them want to continue for a long time, most of them have to face struggles within the gang and fights with other gangs, and the rest is that they will be exterminated if they are in a bad mood one day. Now, the court has asked for them, but naturally they can't ask for it.

And this, in fact, is also the epitome of the entire Dali Dynasty, the official mansions of many big cities have close ties with the local families and sects, even if it is the royal family of the Dali Dynasty, their members have an indescribable relationship with some high-ranking lords in Dali and several top sects.

These are still far away for Lin Hu.

His first goal now is to enter the largest blacksmith shop not only in Qishan Town, but also in Jiyang County, where Qishan Town belongs.

Then, find a way to learn about the world. After all, this world is still too foreign to him. If there is a chance, it would be better to get a set of legendary martial arts cheats or something, even if you don't have it, it doesn't matter, after all, he is still unsure whether that thing exists, everything is just his speculation. If so, it's still a long time, and there will always be a chance in the future, isn't it?

When Lin Hu saw the "people in the rivers and lakes" with swords and swords on the street, he was more certain about the existence of martial arts in his heart.

After Lin Hu arrived in Qishan Town, the next day he followed his father-in-law and his many years of contacts in Qishan Town to find a steward of Tieji, and used some silver to win a place for Lin Hu to become an apprentice of Tieji.

If it was just an ordinary blacksmith shop, it wouldn't have to be so troublesome, but who made this an iron keeping? Tie Ji's identity as a senior blacksmith is no worse than his shopkeeper, and even much stronger.

Lin Hu didn't know the second uncle's hard work, but what he knew was that his new life was about to start from this iron record.
