Volume 1 The Land of Ashes Chapter 7 No, you will
"I say! What's the matter with you? ”
"I've heard people say that you were like crazy before, asking about the Candle Yin Siege one by one in this Wuling City!"
"Why, now, I'm telling you that's true! But you don't believe it? ”
On the streets of Black Corner Alley, Chu Zhaozhao followed behind Chu Qingxiao and questioned loudly.
Just now, Chu Zhaozhao's words thought that he could win over Chu Qingxiao, but he didn't want the young man to hear it, but his attitude was quite strange.
He was only silent for a while, and then ordered Chu Zhaozhao to expel the guest.
Then, no matter how hard Chu Zhaozhao tried his to, he packed up some rice paper that was placed in the inner room, and went out of his house alone.
Chu Zhaozhao followed behind him and said all the way, but Chu Qingxiao turned a deaf ear and just lowered his head and hurried away.
Chu Zhaozhao said with a dry mouth, and there was no way to take Chu Qingxiao, so he could only follow behind him, wanting to see what this guy was going to do.
Chu Qingxiao was not affected by Chu Zhaozhao, he walked through Black Corner Alley, went out of Xicheng, and first came to a wine shop.
"Shopkeeper, are you still short of people here?" He found the shopkeeper of the wine store and asked the other party respectfully.
The shopkeeper, who was looking down and counting the accounts, heard this, looked up, and suddenly frowned: "Go, go, we don't recruit people here." ”
Chu Qingxiao experienced yesterday's setback, and he was not surprised by the shopkeeper's refusal, but he was unwilling to give up like this, so he opened his mouth and said.
"It doesn't matter if the salary is low, I will settle accounts, I can read, and I have the strength to do anything."
As he spoke, he took out a stack of rice paper from his bosom that he had packed at home and handed it over.
"Sir, you see, this is an article I wrote in the past, some transcribed and some written by myself."
"I write beautifully, and I do things carefully, and Mr. Luo from the Peach Blossom Study has praised them."
"In the future, whether it is bookkeeping, writing invitations for guests, I can token, and I can also do chores on weekdays, wash dishes and serve dishes, all of them."
"Sir, look at it."
The boy tried hard to put a sincere smile on his face, and at the same time let go of his past pride and sold himself hard.
It's just that the enthusiasm he thinks he thinks falls in the ears of others, but it is only noisy and ignorant of what to do.
"Get out!" The shopkeeper waved his hand and pushed Chu Qingxiao out of the door of the wine store, and the raised threshold made Chu Qingxiao's body crooked, rolled down the steps, and fell into the snow.
The shopkeeper still felt a little puzzled, walked to the door of the store, crumpled the rice paper handed by Chu Qingxiao, and threw it out.
"You haven't done your father enough to harm my little shop?"
"Hurry up, next time you dare to enter the door, you see if I can beat you!"
"Bad luck!"
Pedestrians on the side of the street were also attracted by the sound of the quarrel and gathered around, and there was no shortage of people pointing fingers.
"This is the son of Chu Yashi?"
"I heard that I was in the middle of an evil spirit, and I beat the lord who came from the court a few days ago!"
"I heard before that this kid has the ability, can punch and kick, and can write articles, why did he get such a disease!"
"Then who knows? Did Bao Buqi do something bad to be targeted by the spirits? ”
"Chu Yazhi is also a decent person, how can there be such an unsuccessful child......"
The crowd spoke word by word, and malicious speculation came out of their mouths one after another.
These rumors are just rumors on a whim, and they will become facts in the first ten or ten hundred to be spread by everyone.
In the end, it was named in the name of no wind and no waves, and became ironclad evidence that it can kill people.
Chu Qingxiao got up from the ground in embarrassment, he didn't bother to pay attention to the gossip in his ears.
He just bent on his body and hurriedly picked up the paper on the ground.
He had to pick them up before the snow soaked them - the price of rice paper was not cheap, and Chu Yueshan used to be an errand boy in the Yamen, so he didn't feel distressed to buy these things. But now, the family is in the middle of the road, if these things are destroyed, Chu Qingxiao will not be able to ask Chu Yueshan for more.
Chu Zhaozhao on the side finally couldn't stand it, she squeezed away the chattering crowd.
"What nonsense!"
"Can you see ghosts?"
Chu Zhaozhao loudly stopped the whispers of the people around him, and then walked quickly to Chu Qingxiao and helped him clean up the scattered papers on the ground.
Fortunately, the two rescued in time, and although the ink marks on those papers were slightly blurred, they were probably still intact.
"Thank you." Taking the paper handed by Chu Zhaozhao, Chu Qingxiao was stunned for a moment, and then thanked him sincerely.
"Little things." Chu Zhaozhao smiled, his eyes like a crescent moon.
Chu Qingxiao didn't say much, he stood up and glanced at the pedestrians around him.
Seeing this, everyone who was still talking hilariously avoided the young man's gaze.
Chu Qingxiao's willingness to explain in his heart was completely extinguished when he saw everyone's reactions.
He smiled wryly, shoved the papers into his arms, and was about to leave.
But at this time, Chu Zhaozhao suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the corner of his clothes.
"Girl?" Chu Qingxiao looked at her puzzled.
The girl just smiled, signaling him to be calm, and even under Chu Qingxiao's surprised gaze, she walked to the door of the wine shop.
In the wine shop, the shopkeeper, who thought the matter was over, clapped his hands proudly, turned around and was about to walk in.
"Hey!"
But at this moment, Chu Zhaozhao's voice came from behind him.
The shopkeeper paused, and looked back at the girl suspiciously.
"I mean, shouldn't you apologize?" The girl asked as she stared at him with a smirk.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he frowned: "What?" Is there still such a reason to buy and sell in this world? ”
"If he comes to find a job, I have to give it to him, and I have to apologize if I don't give it?"
"Do you think that his father is a servant, can he oppress us ordinary people?"
The shopkeeper was also a smart man, and he saw that Chu Zhaozhao was not good, so he immediately turned the spearhead and led the matter to the topic that was most likely to stimulate ordinary people.
As soon as these words came out, the people around them suddenly looked angry.
"Yes! Is there still such a truth in this world? ”
"People don't look down on him, is it difficult to recruit him?"
"That's right, who would recruit such a guy as him, what if he gets sick that day and beats the guest?"
When the surrounding people saw the wind and rudder, they also echoed it.
Chu Zhaozhao glanced back at everyone, but he didn't care.
"Of course, it's your freedom to hire or not."
"But he came to visit, and he was courteous, and he did not disturb your guests."
"Why are you pushing? And why did he throw his things on the ground? Chu Zhaozhao asked.
The shopkeeper was stunned at first, but soon thought of the wording, and he said, "This shop belongs to my family, and I don't welcome him, is there a problem?" ”
"He entered my shop, not to mention pushing and shoving, even beating him, what can he do?"
After the shopkeeper said this, he looked at Chu Zhaozhao proudly, and his eyebrows were full of provocation.
But Chu Zhaozhao didn't have the slightest annoyance, she just smiled and asked, "Then according to your meaning, as long as it's no longer in your store, it doesn't matter what we do, right?" ”
"That's natural, I don't want to provoke a broom star like him, as long as I don't make trouble in my store, I don't bother to pay attention to it." The shopkeeper's words.
"That's good." The smile on Chu Zhaozhao's face became brighter and brighter.
With that, she lifted one foot and stomped on the ground outside the store.
Boom.
Just hear a muffled sound.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper thought that the girl was going to make a move, and subconsciously took a step back, but after this sound, there was no movement.
He couldn't figure out what Zhao Zhao was doing for a while, and looked at the girl in front of him in shock.
Chu Zhaozhao turned around at this time and took Chu Qingxiao's hand.
"Let's go." She whispered.
Chu Qingxiao was also a little confused, and the two had just turned around.
The shopkeeper behind him also came back to his senses, he looked at the two who seemed to be running away, and couldn't help but laugh: "I thought I had some ability, but it turned out that I could only say two cruel words, and I lost the following girl......"
Click.
Before the words fell, a crisp sound suddenly came.
I saw that just now where Chu Zhaozhao was standing, a crack suddenly emerged from the ground, and then spread along the steps towards the wine shop, and a doorpost in front of it suddenly collapsed in half under the crack, and then the plaque of the wine shop shook for a while, and at that time it fell to the ground with a bang, raising snow all over the sky......
The shopkeeper who was still shouting just now looked at the plaque that was smashed down against the door in front of him, and his face turned pale for a while, and he stood still.
……
"Just now, you did that?" Chu Qingxiao, who was pulled by Chu Zhaozhao and ran out of the street just now, finally couldn't help but ask.
When Chu Zhaozhao heard this, he raised his head proudly: "Introduce yourself again." ”
"Chu Zhaozhao, under the Qingque Peak of Tianhang Mountain, a quasi-inner disciple, a master of the Lingtai Realm."
Chu Qingxiao's eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief: "Three Realms Martial Artist? ”
He looked Chu Zhaozhao up and down, the girl in front of him looked like she was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and she could have three realms of cultivation.
And his father, Chu Yueshan, is only in the second realm, so he dares to be called the top ten powerhouses in Wuling City......
For a while, Chu Qingxiao didn't know whether his father's vision was too shallow, or the girl in front of him was extremely talented.
Chu Zhaozhao enjoyed Chu Qingxiao's surprised gaze very much, and she straightened her chest more and more proudly.
It's just that this kind of pride didn't last too long, and I heard Chu Qingxiao say again: "But since you have such ability, why do you want to do fraud?" ”
"You also see my current situation, the entire Wuling City treats me as a madman...... You can't cheat money from here......"
"You better change someone to deceive, of course, I think it's better not to be a liar, with your ability, to be a dart master, or to be a teacher in the martial arts, it should be more than enough......"
Chu Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment, and then said in astonishment: "You think I'm a liar?" ”
Chu Qingxiao also blinked and looked at her: "Isn't it?" ”
"I'm not a liar!" Chu Zhaozhao stomped his feet, a little angry: "You don't have hysteria either"
Probably after experiencing Fang Cai's help, Chu Qingxiao didn't have so much hostility towards Chu Zhaozhao.
He said with a wry smile: "When I was sick before, someone also said the same thing as you. ”
"He told me that he could find the swords of the swords of the swordsmen of the Western Continent that I imagined, so as to prove that everything I said was true."
Chu Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment, and asked with a strange expression: "Then did he find it?" ”
Chu Qingxiao smiled, shook his head and said, "He cheated me out of all the money, and three days later, my uncle bumped into him from the gambling house. ”
"My uncle fought with him to get angry for me, but unfortunately...... Didn't fight. ”
Chu Qingxiao, who said this, paused, the expression on his face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of self-blame.
"When I first got sick, I was really obsessed, frantically looking for evidence to corroborate the memories in my mind."
"I'm like I'm in two worlds, when I close my eyes, I see the ruins of Wuling City, and there are many bones, but once I open my eyes, what I see is the lights of thousands of homes."
"This situation almost drove me into madness."
"I ignored the people around me who really cared about me, my father and my uncle, for me, they lost the errand of the servants, and gave away the house that they had bought with most of their life, and pawned the only jade bracelet left by my grandmother."
"Now they still have to sell their strength in the rice grain shop to earn money for me to treat my illness......"
"I don't want to be a burden to them anymore, I've made up my mind not to think about those ethereal things, and to cherish what is in front of me is the most important thing."
"So, you can't fool me with these words."
Chu Zhaozhao looked at Chu Qingxiao who was talking a little stunned, before, she probably just wanted to find the secret of this realm in order to escape.
But at this moment, she suddenly realized that for the young man in front of her, this absurd world was all he had.
Let him find the secret here, that is, let him destroy the world as he knows it.
It's cruel.
After saying this, Chu Qingxiao cleaned up the snow stains on his clothes, swept away the previous decline, he looked at Chu Zhaozhao again, and said with a bright smile on his face: "Thank you for helping me out today, but now I have to go." ”
"I want to find a job today and share some of the burden for my father and uncle."
With that, he took a step.
Chu Zhaozhao finally came back to her senses, and she was not willing to give up.
There's no reason for her to be trapped in this world because of a little pity in her heart.
"But what if that's true?" she said. Do you care about Uncle Chu and Uncle Sun, what about those Xizhou sword armors who came here thousands of miles away for Wuling City? You don't want to know, where are they now? ”
Chu Qingxiao's raised feet were suspended in mid-air at that time, as if frozen.
After a while, he muttered: "But you can't prove that they really existed, there is no trace of them in the entire Wuling City, I will not be for these ethereal things......
As soon as he had spoken, he lifted his foot and fell again, and was about to leave.
Seeing this, Chu Zhaozhao seemed to be unable to hold back the anger in his heart: "You stop!" ”
She said loudly, and quickly stepped forward to stop Chu Qingxiao.
"Miss Chu, I won't ......" Chu Qingxiao frowned, and was about to say something.
But as soon as these words came out, they were interrupted by Chu Zhaozhao.
"Nope! You'll help me. Chu Zhaozhao said.
She spoke firmly, with an inexplicable confidence.
Chu Qingxiao didn't like the other party's messy posture, and his brows furrowed a little deeper.
"Why?"
"With this."
The corner of the girl's mouth suddenly hooked up a smile, and a hand reached into her arms, and at that moment she took out something.
Chu Qingxiao looked at it fixedly, but it was a pink purse.
Chu Zhaozhao shook his purse at that time.
The crunch of the jingle bell swings open.
It was the sound of silver clashing.
