Withered vines and old trees, faint crows, small bridges and flowing water, ancient roads and westerly winds and thin horses.

The sun is setting, and the heartbroken man is at the end of the world.

Ma Zhiyuan's autumn thoughts and Xiaobao's current situation are very similar, but what makes him break his heart is not loneliness, but life and death parting and parting. A small dirt bag, buried in which are his relatives who depend on each other in this world.

Although he does not belong to this world, although he is a person who has been reborn in another world, although he and they do not have a trace of blood affection, but in his heart, they are his closest relatives in this world.

They are an elderly couple, they have no children in their lives, they are a pair of abandoned slaves in this world, and they are always struggling with the brink of life and death due to disease, hunger, and the dangers of the wilderness.

But none of this separates them, for the sake of the promise that the white prime minister did not part with many years ago. And eleven years ago, one winter, they picked up a baby in the snow. They thought it was a gift from God to their child, so they adopted him.

In order for the children to eat an extra bite of black paste, they can starve themselves without eating or drinking. In order for the children to have an extra piece of winter clothing, they can dismantle their own clothes and change them to the children to wear, and they will be exposed to the cold and cold. In order to make their children's lives better, they left their original place of residence and sold themselves into slavery until they were disliked by their masters and kicked out of the house.

They can sacrifice themselves for the sake of their children. But the sky has no eyes, and four years ago, the old man who took in and asked the question died of a vicious disease.

A year later, the grandmother also passed away because she missed her grandfather. Xiaobao cremated the two old men and buried them together. He wanted them to be together forever and never separated.

After the death of the two elders, Xiaobao kept filial piety for them for three years. Now, he has decided to leave. Why? Because he's a man. In front of the graves of the two elders, he knocked his head nine times, and then a fire burned the grass hut where they lived.

Don't look back.

However, the tears could not be stopped.

The bitter hammer wine only reminds the bits and pieces of the past.

Grandpa, Grandma, I'll be back. The scenery is beautiful.

You have been a slave all your life, and you have no name. Your name will live on forever on another day.

Autumn Harvest City, a very small town. There were only about 30,000 families in the city, and there were less than 2,000 soldiers defending the city. The main city is just a small first-class baron, and the martial arts cultivation is only up to the level of high-level martial artists.

But because he is a branch of a large family, there is a good family college in this small town: Gaosheng Academy. Gaosheng Academy was founded by the Blue Family, one of the seven top families of the Colorful Empire.

It is distributed all over the country and is watched by members of their family in order to tap for talent.

The Ascension Academy is divided into four levels across the country: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Top. The beginner mainly recruits martial apprentices and magic apprentices, and there are no talent requirements. The intermediate ones also recruit magic apprentices and martial apprentices, but they have certain requirements in terms of talent. Premium, Premium, and so on, but with additional requirements.

However, because the Canglan family is not prosperous, the colleges they open are much less than those run by the state. So in order to get more talents, they have invested heavily in the conditions of the academy. Therefore, the Canglan family's Gaosheng College is much stronger than the state-run college.

But there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and there is money to be paid for reading.

And Xiaobao is very poor now, how poor is he?

After he had paid the entrance fee, he had one silver coin and eleven copper coins left in his hand. The currency ratio of this world is one hundred copper coins for one silver coin, and one hundred silver coins for one gold coin.

It costs two copper coins to buy the worst black bread in this small city, and this black bread is only the size of a small bun in the previous life. Xiaobao did the math in his heart, such a size of black bread. If he wants to be full, he has to get ten at the least.

In other words, the money he has now is enough for him to eat a few full meals in the city. Food and clothing are a problem, let alone studying?

What should I do?

Heavy * old business?

Life is unfamiliar and dangerous.

Wei Xiaobao took a turn at the gate of Gaosheng Academy and finally found a breakthrough.

In front of a small doorway of the High School Academy, there is a sign that reads: Recruit Gardeners. For special reasons, the hospital hereby recruits gardeners from outside, including food and accommodation, and receives a salary of two gold coins per month.

At first glance, it's a good thing, with food and shelter and a salary. But take a closer look: First, what is the special reason?

Others don't know. It's not because there is no security as a gardener at Gaosheng College, and few of them can survive a month of work. Most of them were sent home to recuperate after a few days of serious injuries, and they were unlucky to burp directly.

Second, why didn't there be a request for bidding? According to a person who worked as a gardener at Gaosheng College, he lived in a firewood house and didn't eat anything that the dogs did. Because people often leave their jobs unexpectedly, resulting in a shortage of manpower, those who survive have to work with several people every day.

Due to the above two reasons, Gaosheng College recruits gardeners all year round, but it is difficult to recruit.

There was no way, so the college had to raise the salary. The original one gold coin a month was replaced by two.

It turns out that people die for money, and birds die for food. There must be brave men under the heavy reward, but I didn't expect them to recruit people.

It's been a month since I was in charge of recruiting gardeners, and I finally filled up the staff two days ago, but I didn't expect that someone left unexpectedly yesterday. No, the higher-ups thought he was experienced and sent him out, hoping that he would fool a few people to be gardeners.

After several hours of waiting, a savior finally appeared (does he still want to cultivate for the sake of these things?)

He is only dressed in shabby clothes, and his face is yellow and thin. He paused for a moment as he passed his sign, then his eyes glowed as green as a wolf.

He knew his chance had come.

Enthusiastically pulled Wei Xiaobao and introduced him to the benefits of being a gardener. Under his introduction, being a gardener at Gaosheng College can be well fed, well-dressed, have a homeowner, and have money to take. As long as you are clever, you can also steal teachers to learn art, steal jade and steal incense.

He told him that after becoming an honorable gardener, any part of the college was open to him (because there was a serious shortage of people in many positions). Then you can steal from others while they're in class.

Moreover, the colleges that study in Gaosheng College are all children of rich families, and they don't care if they drop a little thing or a little less. (Xiaobao understands that these students are all very rich, and any leakage is a big gain.) ）

And as the gardener of Gaosheng Academy, he undoubtedly belongs to the head of the ground, and it is not easy to catch a beautiful woman taking a bath and changing clothes somewhere. Seeing Xiao Shouyd's expression flashing and instantly reverting to the appearance of an honest person, Wei Xiaobao thought that Gaosheng Academy was a place where talents were buried.

This guy is so thick-faced and able to act, it's a pity that he was sent out to be a personnel department manager.

Should he go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is that the place where he can display his talents? With his cheekiness and acting skills, he can definitely win glory for the country.

Stealing jade and stealing incense is what buddies are best at, and stealing teachers to learn art is also the main reason why I want to enter Gaosheng Academy. (Xiaobao couldn't help but think: this kid is really his confidant.) ）

So Wei Xiaobao also chatted with Xiao Shou very enthusiastically, and then the more the two chatted, the more speculative they became, and decided to worship (each with his own thoughts!).

Xiao Shou is a full 7 years older than Xiaobao, and now he is eighteen, so he is the eldest brother. Xiao Shou is an orphan who was taken in and raised by an old man from Gaosheng Academy since he was a child. There are no brothers and sisters, so Xiaobao's big brother called to his heart.

The enthusiastic Xiao Shou patted his chest and promised that Xiaobao could find him if he had any difficulties in the academy in the future, and he would definitely help. Xiaobao was also polite, saying that he must ask his eldest brother for help first if he has difficulties. Xiao Shou chatted until sunset because of work.

But except for Xiaobao, no one came to apply that day. The two got off work giggling and ran to a tavern to eat and drink. There is a saying that there are fewer than a thousand cups of wine for a confidant, and there is no speculation in half a sentence. Because of his age, Wei Xiaobao was the first to fall. And then there was no then.
