Chapter 34: The First Time I Went to Town

But I thought about it again, even if the people of the Brother Club really come to our village to eat big households, they can't eat our family, and they are eligible to join the Brother Club on the conditions of our family, where are they afraid of others eating? My worries are superfluous, in fact, I thought about it, Brother Rundong's house may be eaten, but even if you eat one or two meals, it is estimated that you will not be able to eat the exhaustive Runren, besides, I don't believe that the same village people, everyone looks down and does not look up to see, this Peng blacksmith is embarrassed to lead a large group of people to Runyuan's house to eat and drink for nothing.

Thinking of this, I didn't pay attention to anything else, pretended not to know anything, walked out with a long chai knife, and said to Blacksmith Peng with a childlike face: "Uncle Peng, I have chosen a chai knife, this is it." ”

Blacksmith Peng saw me come out with such a long firewood knife, the corners of his eyes jumped obviously, and his curly beard shook even more, and he yelled at me with his eyes cross-eyed with some unwillingness: "Can you hold such a long firewood knife?"

"I'll use it for my dad. My face didn't move, and I still said calmly like a child.

Gritting his teeth, Blacksmith Peng was obviously a little angry in his heart, but Blacksmith Peng himself said that I would take it casually, and he couldn't regret it now, but there was obviously a resentment in his eyes when he looked at me, which was resentment from the bottom of his heart.

I have seen Blacksmith Peng's dissatisfaction, but I have made a childlike and persistent decision, and I can't turn back, so I still pretend to leave unconsciously, but at this moment I have an indescribable disgust for this Blacksmith Peng from the bottom of my heart: "If I am really a five-year-old child, can he be guilty of seeing the same as me? Besides, he himself said, let me choose whatever I want, even if he really suffers, he can let me change another knife, can he be angry with my child, and look at me with such vicious eyes?" No wonder kids don't like this guy. ”

The little unhappiness didn't affect me, and when I got home, I was so happy that I died, and now that I finally had the weapon at hand, I was so happy that I danced around the yard.

My mother could see that the knife I was holding was a little more than the value of my rabbit leg, so she took some of the entrails of the demon rabbit and sent it to Blacksmith Peng.

Dad is molting the skin of the demon rabbit, although he looked at the knife I was holding was a little too long, a little heavy, but he didn't say anything, yes, people in the mountains are calculating to live, such as making clothes for children, they will make it longer, so that after wearing it this year, it can continue to wear it when it grows taller next year. And the firewood knife in my hand looks a little heavier now, but he believes that after two years, this knife will not be heavy in my hand, in the eyes of my father, he thinks that I have also learned to calculate and live, which is the precocious side of poor children.

"Ling Feng, your mother and I went to Runyuanwai today, I heard that Runyuanwai is going to go to the town tomorrow, and I also want to go to the town to sell that deerskin, do you want to go?" Dad asked me casually while molting the demon rabbit.

"Go, I want to go!"

I immediately shouted happily, I have grown so big, I haven't left this village yet, of course I want to go outside to see, I'm afraid this is also because my father knows that I have broken through the level of condensation, so he will be in the mood to take me into the city to see the world.

"Okay, we'll leave tomorrow morning. Dad said with a smile.

"Oh!"

I shouted happily, this is really a good thing, today's good things are all gathered together, first hit the demon rabbit, then have their own new weapon, and then go to the town to walk, I don't want to mention how happy I am, but after the happiness I have a question, I hurriedly asked: "Dad, why do you suddenly want to sell that deerskin?"

Glancing at me gently, my father said helplessly: "Originally, this deer skin was ready for you to use again when you went to school, but knowing that you have now reached the condensation level, and you are now the best time to grow your body, and if your body does not grow well, it will affect your cultivation, so I discussed with your mother to exchange this deer skin for some money, don't let this year's disaster affect your long body, so we thought about replacing this deer skin, as for the tuition fee, we will help you find a way in the future." ”

"Hmm. ”

I nodded happily, now I really need to grow my body, besides, go to school! Do I need it? I listen to the things that Mr. Wu said in the school once, so I don't have to listen to it a second time, and the mastiff's secret book at the bottom of the box is already here, how can he give me guidance? So my school should be on the battlefield in the future, or in the depths of the dense forest, well, I am 100% supportive of this decision made by my parents and parents.

Today, my father is at home, and it is inconvenient for me to practice at home, so I took the newly exchanged firewood knife up the mountain to try out my new knife, and by the way, I will cut some grasshoppers.

For dinner, I ate the devil rabbit meat and the grasshopper I caught, and this meal was braised rabbit meat and roasted grasshopper, which tasted exceptionally fragrant, which was the fruit of my own labor.

The next morning, my dad and I got up early, and after washing up, we walked to Runyuanwai's house.

At this time, the sky is just dark, the sky in the distance has just flashed a hint of fish belly white, and the air can still smell the refreshing humidity of the morning dew and the fragrance of fen grass in the morning mist, it is a wonderful morning.

It was my first time in town and of course I was in a good mood.

At this time, I believe that many families have not even gotten up, and my father and I have already walked to the head of the village.

When we arrived at the door of Runyuanwai's house, we saw a large carriage carrying goods parked in front of Runyuanwai's house, and Runyuanwai and the tenant farmers at home were loading grain into the cart. Runyuanwai is shrewd, diligent, very business-minded, his family always has a surplus of grain, this year is a disaster year, other families have no food to sell, but Runyuanwai still has a lot of grain to sell to others, now the price of grain has skyrocketed, I believe that Runyuanwai will make a lot of money this time.

When my dad saw that the runner was carrying the goods, he immediately went up to help, after all, we had to hitchhike with others.

Brother Rundong is also busy next to the car, every time Runyuanwai goes to the town to sell goods, he will bring Rundong, Runyuanwai's idea must be to let Rundongge inherit this family business in the future, so that Rundongge can first understand the business situation in the village and the town, so that it is easier for Rundongge to learn the ability to make money outside Runyuanwai.

But is Brother Rundong's ambition here? Does he want to be the kind of merchant who cares about one copper coin or two copper coins to every poor person he deals with?

However, Brother Rundong has indeed started to help the family work now, and at this moment he is frowning and helping to carry the food, until he sees me and my father coming, his eyes are full of joy and greet us, and he came over to greet us: "Uncle Ling, Ling Feng is here." ”

"Hmm. I happily went up to greet Brother Rundong.

"Work first, play after work!"

Immediately, there was a shout from Runren outside, and he was scolding Brother Rundong for finishing his business before chatting.

Brother Rundong had a cold face, and replied to Runren in a voice that was not intense, but also unfriendly: "Can't I take a breath?"

Runyuanwai's face was pale, and he glanced at Rundong fiercely, but he didn't scold Brother Rundong again.

Although their father and son did not quarrel like last time, I can see that the relationship between Brother Rundong and Runrenwai is getting more and more stiff, and their way of fighting a cold war at the moment is obviously often staged at home, and neither side wants to give in, but neither side will exacerbate the contradiction too much, which is to be transformed into the rhythm of a protracted war.

Seeing that Run's face was ugly, my father hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded him, "I'll carry food for Young Master Run, he is still a child after all." ”

Runren saw that there were steps under the stairs, and it was even more inconvenient to quarrel with his son in front of outsiders, so he no longer paid attention to Rundong, and it calmed down here.

And Brother Rundong now has free time, so he began to introduce me to some interesting things in the town, and obviously planned to take me to the town to see it today.

I'm even happier to have this guide, and I really hope that the first time I go to town, I'll meet those fun things that Brother Rundong said.

After a while, the truck was full, a whole cart of grain, there were twenty or thirty bags, so much grain made me look very envious, in my home has never seen a bag full of grain, can see three or two pounds of grain flour is already good, and in the home outside the run, you can take out so much grain casually, it is really envious.

"Okay, now let's go. Runren said outside Zhang Luo.

I sat in the car with my father and Brother Rundong, and the group drove to the outside of the village.

"Ling Qiang, it's not the best time for you to sell deerskin now, many people are frying grain now, I'm afraid that fewer people will buy deerskin, so if you sell it now, you will be pressed a lot of prices." "Runren was willing to talk about business, and at this moment he saw the deerskin in my father's backpack and began to talk about his business experience.

"Hey, the life at home is tight, if you don't sell deerskins, you can't live this day, so let's sell it. My dad said in a daze.

Runyuanwai also knows the situation of each family now, like my family has a deerskin to help survive this year's disaster year, this has been calculated, many families have run out of ammunition and food now, so Runyuanwai didn't say anything and continued to hurry.

The car passed by the entrance of the village, passing by Peng's blacksmith's blacksmith shop at this moment, I don't know why, I just wanted to see Peng's appearance for no reason, maybe I just learned yesterday that he was a member of the brotherhood, I just wanted to see how Peng's blacksmith would react to the richness of the car outside Runyuan, but unfortunately, the door of Peng's house was closed and locked, and I didn't see him, so he should not be at home.

"It's good not to see him, otherwise it would make people feel uncomfortable to see him. ”

I thought again of the vicious look in Blacksmith Peng's eyes when he looked at me yesterday, which was disgusting, and I pursed my lips and tried not to think about Blacksmith Peng's fierce gaze as much as possible.

Our car left the village of Yinzhao and set out on the road to the town
