Chapter 4 Huangyang Town
"Ahh
There was a low roar in the room, and Rong Tieyi suddenly woke up from his dream, he gasped for breath, and a lot of sweat oozed from his forehead. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
He lifted the thin quilt covering his body, revealing his rather sturdy body, which was only a sixteen-year-old boy, but he had also developed a good body in the eight years since he left home.
He didn't care about that, wiped his forehead, and looked at the humble beam on the roof in a daze.
Suddenly, it felt a little strange.
There was a little light outside, and it was already early in the morning.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the house, Rong Tieyi trembled after hearing the sound, and secretly screamed in his heart, so he hurriedly found his clothes and hurriedly put them on.
But the person has arrived, and he pushed open the door heavily, only to see a bald old man standing at the door, there are not a few hairs on the top of his head, and then he grinned with a big mouth full of yellow teeth, looking a little funny, he pointed at Rong Tieyi and opened his mouth to scold, "I said when are you going to sleep until the kid is going to sleep? If you are late to deliver the goods to others today, you see that I will not kick you out of here!"
Rong Tieyi didn't dare to fight back, under the old man's gaze, he put on his clothes in a muffled voice, walked to the door, and saw that the old man didn't want to get out of the way, so he didn't have a good breath and said, "Eh, you let me, if you don't let me, then I'll let the carriage send it by itself." ”
The old man's temper is not good, and Rong Tieyi's temper is not bad.
Three months ago, Rong Tieyi fainted at the foot of Qilin Mountain, and was sent to a big inn in Huayang City in a daze, someone paid for him for a month's room, so that he could recuperate for a month, but he didn't know why, he just didn't want to stay there.
Left Huayang City and went to a small town thirty miles away to deliver goods for this old man who raised ducks.
The fresh morning breeze blew down from the tea mountain not far away, swept over the surface of a babbling stream, stirred up ripples, and brushed the branches of willow trees on both banks, which blew into this town famous for producing Huangyang tea.
The name of the town is Huangyang Town, which is named after the real estate Huangyang tea.
Huangyang tea has been famous for a long time, and even thousands of miles away in the palace of the capital will provide some excellent tea every year.
Therefore, the fame of Huangyang tea is also getting higher and higher, and there was a period of time when the price of tea has risen several times, which has made this Huangyang town rich.
The town has a population of thousands, and most of them make a living by growing Huangyang tea.
At the intersection outside the town, there is a short bridge paved with bluestone slabs, the bridge is short but wide, and there will always be a horse-drawn carriage to deliver tea in the morning and evening, which makes the town extremely busy.
Rong Tieyi sat in the carriage yawning, looking like he hadn't woken up, looking at the carriage that was passing by quickly, with some envy in his eyes.
Because the carriage of the family is sending a lot of valuable Huangyang tea, and his carriage is sending ducks.
The stream under the stone bridge is clear and bright, the water flow is gentle, the pebbles in the stream can be clearly seen, large and small, strange shapes attract the children in the town to play in the water, fortunately, the stream is not deep, not urgent, the deepest is only over the legs.
There are many willow trees on both sides of the stream, and it is spring now, the willow trees sprout, green and green, which is the best time of the year.
Rong Tieyi drove the carriage lazily, and did not forget to say hello to some people he knew along the way.
In three months, I have also met many people.
I also knew that the duck keeper was old and helpless, and that a son was beaten to death because he was fighting with someone outside, and his wife died soon after hearing the bad news.
The town is rich, naturally will take care of these poor people, see that Lao Xu is really pitiful, the people in the town also take special care of it, and then they made up money together to make a duck farm on the edge of a lotus pond, and life is still passable, without worrying about food and clothing.
The town is not big, there are not many people, and the duck is raised by Lao Xu's family, so most of the people in the town recognize Rong Tieyi.
As soon as this greeting starts, it's endless.
"Eh, Aunt Zhang, do you still want ducks? This special fat that I just killed today! Go to Lao Xu's house and take it." ”
"Hey, Uncle Wang, I'm going to deliver tea again, didn't you just come back last month?"
Just when Rong Tieyi smiled and greeted people, a figure suddenly jumped into his carriage, squeezed the seat, teased the horse, lifted the rope, and sat beside him, a set of actions flowing.
Rong Tieyi glanced at it, a thin young man, wearing a brocade dress, carrying a sword that was worth a lot at a glance at his waist, presumably his family background was good.
The young man looked angry, looking at Rong Tieyi, he was not polite, put his hand on Rong Tieyi's shoulder and lay down against the big boxes behind the carriage, he said with a comfortable face, "Rong Tieyi, the storyteller is going to talk again today, I have to hurry over, you be quick, I will invite you to have a good meal later." ”
This thin young man, named Wei Shen, is the son of the mayor of Huangyang Town, who usually doesn't do anything, plays blindly all day long, and doesn't give carriages and horses at home, so he comes to pick up Rong Tieyi, which is a hitchhiker that is sent to Huayang City every day.
Rong Tieyi raised his eyebrows after hearing this, and said, "Go listen to the book again?" ”
Wei Shen had an expression of don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, and said disdainfully, "Then it's interesting for you to grind your mouth with the Taoist priest on the mountain every day?" I said, don't you think about it every day, what do you have to become an immortal? Can that immortal squat in a broken temple like that stinky Taoist priest and ask you for silver?"
Rong Tieyi shrugged his shoulders and smiled, not wanting to talk to this guy anymore, raising his horsewhip and walking towards the road outside the town.
At this time, most of the people in Huangyang Town have begun to go out to work, in addition to planting tea, they are busy delivering goods to major cities.
Even now, the business of Huangyang tea is just as prosperous, mainly because this production area is just one in Huangyang Town.
Rong Tieyi greeted all the way, and drove the carriage for a long distance like this, and he had already left the boundary of Huangyang Town.
The road to Huayang City is not long, and the carriage arrives in an hour.
And on this avenue, not only Huangyang Town, but also caravans in several other towns, it seems to be very lively.
Wei Shen sat in the carriage with his eyes half-closed, drowsy, Rong Tieyi had been in a lot of energy after walking for a long time, and suddenly had some dissatisfaction with the young master beside him.
"Your dad didn't find out this time, did he?"
Wei Shen raised his eyebrows, "What if he finds out? If he refuses to get me a horse, what's wrong with me hitchhiking?"
This Wei Shen is quite handsome, it is absolutely one of the best in Huangyang Town, if the body is a little stronger, even if he walks in Huayang City, he is an eye-catching boy. As the son of the mayor of Huangyang Town, not only is he well-dressed, but the silver on his body is naturally many times more than this Rong Tieyi.
This kid has always had an idea, that is, he wants to walk the rivers and lakes like those heroes of the rivers and lakes, and recently under the influence of the storyteller in the city, he has strengthened his confidence, and it is really not a matter to be scolded by his father at home all day long, no, going to the city to listen to books This is one of them, and the other is to go to apprenticeship, Huayang City is not a small place, and there are countless martial arts sects of all kinds, but this can be some famous is the Wanjian Gate a hundred miles away, and people are the first of the four famous families.
But it happened that at the five-year opening meeting of Wanjianmen last year, Wei Shen suddenly got a serious illness, and after he recovered, the mountain gate had already been closed, and he wasted an opportunity to enter Wanjianmen to practice.
In desperation, I could only go to the nearby mountain gate and go to Huayang City to worship a teacher. There are about seven or eight large and small sects in Huayang City, but the ones that really have some strength are the Yanyu Gate and the Iron Hand Gate.
In private, there is a saying that smoke and rain come first, and iron hands are second, and Wei Shen naturally wants to go to the smoke and rain gate.
Wei Shen's capital is enough, but this sect accepts apprentices, and it is as simple as not paying tuition fees with the martial arts hall, and it depends on the qualifications. As the first sect in Huayang City, Yanyumen is naturally rigorous in accepting disciples, so this Wei Shen just wants to try his luck, in case he is favored by a master, it is really a glorious ancestor, and the future is limitless, and he doesn't have to be scolded by the stinky old man at home every day.
Rong Tieyi skimmed the bells and whistles scabbard on Wei Shen's waist, and felt a little funny in his heart, he had followed his master to three major states in the past eight years, and he had seen not a thousand but eight hundred knights in the rivers and lakes.
Rong Tieyi had already put away everything when he left Huayang City, and he didn't tell others that he had ever been a ranger, mainly because this business was not likable.
Wei Shen naturally didn't know that Rong Tieyi had not only practiced martial arts, but was already the strength of the five-rank Xuanwu realm.
When the carriage had just walked past a big locust tree, Rong Tieyi suddenly stopped, put the reins down, and jumped out of the carriage directly.
Wei Shen frowned, and shouted at him with an impatient look, "Hey, what are you doing, you want to go to that broken temple again?" ”
Rong Tieyi looked at the hill in front of him, the green on the hill was full of green, and he could vaguely see that there was a gray-black house in the middle of it.
Rong Tieyi thought for a moment, then turned around and returned to the carriage and took out a small cloth bag from the big box at the back door, and said to Wei Shen, "It's okay if you don't send it, then you can't walk to the city by yourself, and you won't be able to walk for a few hours." ”
