Chapter 124: The Town
"Next ......"
The scorching sun is shining, the hot sun is steaming, and in front of a square wooden table, two young men with strong bodies sit side by side, their eyes are sharp, their cheekbones are protruding, and their thick palms are covered with calluses.
The two of them sat on the bench as steady as a mountain, under the dazzling sun, although they had been exposed to the sun for more than three hours, but there was no trace of sweat on their foreheads, not only that, but the distance between the two of them was very cool, which was a kind of low temperature caused by the magnetic field emanating from the surrounding body of the exercise.
"What's your name, how many hands do you know, have you ever killed someone?"
This is a thief-eyed little guy, wearing a cyan gray coat, a pair of simple cloth shoes under his feet, he walked briskly to the square table, and said with a smile: "Two uncles, I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, I know a hundred fists, no one has ever killed, but my father is a pig killer, I have killed pigs." The little guy looked at the two burly men opposite and frowned, and hurriedly added.
The man on the left groaned for a while, and said in a somewhat perfunctory tone: "Come and see ...... with a punch."
"Hey...... Huh!"
This little guy, there is a set of boxing methods that have been practiced for many days, although the boxing method is a decent fight, but the boxing is soft and weak, the routine is rigid and stiff, there is no trace of the sharpness of the martial arts practitioners, and the most unbearable thing is that the steps under his feet are chaotic when he fights, and even some vanity, which is the reason why the kung fu of the waist horse is not done well.
A set of 100 fists 36 ways, after the fight. The little guy withdrew his hand and looked at the two burly men with anticipation. The thief said with a fierce eye: "Two masters, do you think I can join your team?"
"Next ......"
Two burly men. His face was stiff and he shouted weakly.
"How is it going? How many people did Dalong and Erlong recruit in the morning?"
The person who came was a middle-aged man, his face was loyal, and there was a faint smile on his face when he spoke, giving people a sense of kindness. A pair of dark and bright eyes in the crowd, staring at the steps of the middle-aged man's feet, seem to be very usual, the right foot rises first, the left foot falls back and the ordinary person, what makes the young man pay attention is not these, but the law between the middle-aged man's steps every time. The right foot moves one meter less than one centimeter each time, and the left foot moves one meter less than three centimeters each time, the young man carefully observed and secretly frightened, such a guy is willing to move with his heart and walk between the rules and neatness, and he is definitely a hidden and hot practice family.
"Uncle Hou, this town is too remote, and there are a lot of people who come to apply, but few of them have real skills, so they come down in the morning. It only recruited four martial arts beginners, two martial arts masters, and one martial arts master. The two burly men stood up from the longboard and said respectfully to the middle-aged man.
"Seven...... Although it is a little small, the population base of this town is small. It's not prosperous in itself, and it's already good to be able to recruit seven martial artists, so it's been a busy morning. You're tired too, so wait and clean up. Take the seven newly recruited martial artists to the inn to meet Miss, Miss Tian and Tian Gongzi. The old man groaned for a moment, and his broad face was on his face. With a soft smile, he said slowly.
"Yes...... Uncle Hou......"
The two brothers, Dalong and Erlong, nodded at the middle-aged man and said in response.
"That...... I would like to ask, can I submit myself to join your team?"
At this time, a lazy voice sounded, and there was a shallow smile on the corner of the young man's mouth, and his tall body under the scorching sun was slender and straight.
Dalong and Tong Erlong were stunned, looked at the young man's immature face, raised his eyebrows, and said in a slightly angry tone: "Little brother, don't you know our requirements? ”
The young man's facial features were clearly on his face, and the shallow smile froze instantly, and he spread his palms and said: "Although I know that you are complimenting me for being very tender, but my biggest shortcoming is honesty, I am just eighteen this year, and I have reached this age of being as beautiful as a flower." ”
The young man said evilly, and before he could do it, he added: "Besides, age is not everything, you can't easily decide on other people's abilities because of age, you must know that the most important thing in this world is young talents, right? Uncle Hou?"
The middle-aged man known as Uncle Hou looked at Lin Yu thoughtfully, his back was straight, there was no trace of panic between his eyebrows, and there was a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth. ”
"I just don't know if he has the ability to be confident, or is he young and frivolous and unrealistic?"
Uncle Hou's heart sank slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Lin Yu with interest and praised: "Young man Lang said it well, age is not everything, you can't easily define other people's skills because of age, hehe...... Young man, don't blame Dalong and Erlong, after all, this is just a remote town, and ordinary martial artists rarely see it, let alone young talents, so Dalong and Erlong They have this question, don't blame it. ”
"Uncle Hou is right, if I'm surprised, it's not the kid. ”
Lin Yu smiled modestly and left Luofeng City, all the things he experienced during this holiday made this once arrogant and domineering teenager begin to learn to hide his edge, know how to be modest, and accept it when he sees it.
"Young man, since you said that you are here to apply, then I have to ask you what you are capable of. ”
Uncle Hou crossed his hands gently, looking at the confident young man in front of him, and there was a slight expectation between his eyebrows.
Lin Yu smiled, suddenly his sleeves bulged, and a fierce punch hit the big dragon on the side, the big dragon didn't expect the young man next to him to suddenly attack him, seeing that the fist was about to smash on his body, his face changed, and he hurriedly punched it.
"Knock ......"
The two fists intersected together, the strong wind agitated, ......and the body of the big dragon raised back, and the body staggered back two steps, "Damn boy, you dare to sneak attack me." Da Long's face was pale, looking at the young man in front of him, and he wanted to pounce angrily, but he was stopped by Uncle Hou on the side.
"Little brother, we have accepted you, but we have to say it first, since you have joined our team, regardless of life or death, you must protect your employer, that is, the person we want to protect on this trip, the safety of our young lady, although three hundred taels of silver sounds exciting, but little brother, you should know the relativity of everything, the higher the silver given, the greater the relative danger, we are not calm on the road, and we may die at any time, so you think about it, when you want to go to the Donglai Inn to find me, sign the deed of sale, we will pay you a deposit of one hundred taels first, and then pay you the rest of the two hundred taels when the matter is over, you see how it is." Uncle Hou groaned for a moment and said solemnly to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu's face was calm, a smile rolled up at the corner of his mouth, he nodded and said, "Reasonable, just do what Uncle Hou said, then Uncle Hou, I'll go and pack up my things first, let's see you at the inn in the east." As the words fell, the young man's footsteps moved slightly, and his figure slowly disappeared from view.
"Uncle Hou, this guy cheated just now, why do you still want to accept him? He attacked me secretly, I didn't react for a while, and I was taken advantage of by him, otherwise I could break his head with one punch. The big dragon on the side was still angry that Lin Yu suddenly shot at him, which made him careless and ugly for a while, and he was angry.
"This guy, although his methods are a little unauthentic, but in any case, he can knock you back with one punch at such an age, which proves that his strength is not bad, at least he will be a martial artist, in a sparsely populated and remote town, there is such a young martial artist, it is quite surprising. A different kind of light flashed in Uncle Hou's eyes, and the glimmer of light disappeared in an instant.
"It's not that I dislike you, baby, although you are quite disliked, and sometimes I dislike you very much, but you have to understand that there is a reason why Young Master Ben left you alone on the road this time. To go to the Moon Canyon, you must pass through Frostfall City, that is the prince's territory, Lu Chen's father is the largest, and there are local troops stationed, I am afraid that Lu Ming has already known that he has laid down the Longtan Tiger's Lair in Frostfall City and is waiting for me to jump, and some things are better to do alone. Lin Yu groaned.
Spread out his palm, looking at the notice in his hand, his face moved slightly, and muttered: "A dilapidated town, it is interesting that someone pays a high price of three hundred taels to recruit a martial artist, today I see that the middle-aged man called Uncle Hou has an even breath and is full of energy, I am afraid that it has reached the point of entering the realm, and the big dragon and the same two dragons are also martial artists, such a team of people is strong enough, and they even have to recruit martial artists, but I am afraid that things are not simple!"
Lin Yu rubbed his head a little tiredly, and there was a slight sound of thought between his eyebrows, he sighed and muttered: "This group of people has a generous shot, presumably from an extraordinary background, and the destination I went to is the same as the Moon Canyon, I hope to blend in with them and be able to pass through Frostfall City smoothly." ”
In the morning, the scorching sun was high, the scorching temperature, and the people were lazy, Lin Yu fell on the bed and squinted for a while, woke up and made a package, went downstairs to settle the house payment, and the slender body of the young man walked in the blazing sun, heading towards the Donglai Inn in the middle-aged population.
