Chapter 39: Fu Xiaohu's Wonderful Adventure (3)

Fu Xiaohu jumped out of bed, pushed open the door and ran out, grabbed the guy who was cleaning and asked, "Man!" What about the three people who came with me yesterday? ”

The shopkeeper replied, "The three guests left before dawn, and asked me not to wake you two." ”

Fu Xiaohu clenched his fists hard, he wanted to pound something, but there was no object around him that could give him anger. Why should you trust Liu Kang? They sneaked into the Asarashi Valley more than a month ago, just to find trouble for the people in the valley, why did they believe them?

Fu Xiaohu suddenly felt as if he didn't understand anything, and since he came out of the valley yesterday, he hasn't encountered a single pleasant thing.

The two men came out of the inn and walked like the walking dead on the streets of Nantun Town.

Tan Wushuang was hungry again, and in the valley, he was second only to Amber in terms of food.

"Xiaohu, what should we do?" He asked again, several times in the morning.

Fu Xiaohu was very irritable, because he didn't know what to do.

"Why don't you ......," Tan Wushuang said cautiously, "let's ...... Get back? ”

"No!" Fu Xiaohu suddenly became angry, "We've only been out for a long time!" I'm going to die! Dead outside! Don't go back either! ”

"But we don't have any money on hand now, so do we still have to do coolies? Even if you are a coolie, you have to eat enough. This town is only half a day's journey from Chaolan Valley, so let's go back...... Your father, and my father, must be anxious. ”

Fu Xiaohu saw a person, a very ordinary young man, about the same age as them, wearing a coarse cloth robe. He pushed a cart of white flour and sold it everywhere.

Fu Xiaohu pointed at the man and said, "He's about the same age as us, but people can support themselves." Perhaps, he has a family, a daughter-in-law and children, and he can support a family by himself. He's just a human being, what about us? Since I was a child, I learned martial arts with my uncles and uncles, and my father said that I was even a master of ground characters, would we starve to death? Will it be inferior to even ordinary people? ”

Tan Wushuang said patiently: "But the problem is ...... People have craftsmanship, do we have it? ”

"Fatty, you don't want to go back."

"I want to!"

"Then go back, what are you doing with me? I didn't tie your feet. ”

Tan Wushuang stopped talking.

Fu Xiaohu continued: "Do you remember that year? We told Lan'er that we were going to the depths of the Lan Valley, but when we got to the woods, you didn't dare to go, so you forced me back. Although Lan'er and they were lost for two days and two nights that time, they dared, they dared to break in. More than a month ago, they were going out of the valley, and the three of them were not even the slightest afraid. I heard my father say that during the time they went out, they were assassinated and troubled others, and the whole world was afraid of them. Fatty, don't you envy? You don't want to go back from the bottom of your heart, I know you. Uncle Tan has a bad temper, he has taught you since he was a child, saying that you are not promising, and you are not convinced. But what's the use of not being convinced? Let's not go back, let's break in, break out! You can show your dad that you're not a bad breed! ”

Tan Wushuang knew in his heart that he didn't want to go back, but he didn't want to suffer either. If Fu Xiaohu proposed the word "go back", it would make him feel at ease. At least when I talk to others in the future, I can say unashamedly: "I didn't want to come back, Fu Xiaohu wanted to come back." ”

Hearing Fu Xiaohu's words, Tan Wushuang's eyes became firm, and he said to Fu Xiaohu: "Xiaohu, I understand. We're out now, and there's no adult to take care of it, so we'll have to rely on ourselves in the future. I listen to you, and as you say, we will do as you say. ”

"Okay," Fu Xiaohu nodded, "Let's get some entanglement first, of course, we won't do the work of robbing the house, if we want to do it, we will be a real hero." Let's go to the house from yesterday and see if there is any work for us, and if not, we will look for it. If you have the strength of two arms, you will definitely not die of hunger. ”

The two set a survival policy, the first step is to earn money first.

Came to yesterday's mansion again, today's mansion is a little deserted, and it seems that there is no need to unload. The two of them were a little dumbfounded, and the little arrogance just now was consumed a lot.

Preparing to take a look at another place, the door of the house opened, and the richly dressed middle-aged man walked out yesterday, and when he saw Fu Xiaohu and the others, he was stunned, and then said with a smile: "Yo, young man, here again." ”

Fu Xiaohu felt very embarrassed, and said vaguely: "Just passing by." ”

After speaking, he pulled Tan Wushuang and left.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Good boy, you didn't learn the truth I taught you yesterday." ”

Fu Xiaohu stopped and asked, "What's the truth?" ”

"To die is to save face and to suffer sin."

"You!" Being ridiculed like this, Fu Xiaohu was very angry.

The middle-aged man was very patient, and he didn't care about the dirt on the ground, and sat on the steps: "When I was as old as you, I was more proud than you." I can't study, I don't have much strength, and my family is poor. Caught up with a bad year and almost starved to death on the streets. A well-wisher has found a job as an accountkeeper, and I'm not happy to do it. Hehe, arrogant, it's not a good thing. ”

Fu Xiaohu asked, "Then how did you survive in the end?" ”

"Ask for food." Middle-aged men don't shy away from the unbearable past.

"Asking for food? It's better to keep an account. ”

"yes, isn't that the same as you?"

"How is it the same as me?"

"I ask you, and you answer honestly, do you want to come here and find some work?"

Fu Xiaohu closed his mouth tightly, didn't speak, and couldn't open his mouth.

"Yes, let's just say that there are more people who come to us every day to look for work, and there are no fewer of you."

Fu Xiaohu struggled for a long time, and finally let go of the last bit of arrogance: "Yes...... I want to find a job to do. ”

"Haha," the middle-aged man smiled, "Look, isn't this just learned?" It's not a shame to earn money and live. You don't ask, how do you know if we have a job here? ”

Fu Xiaohu asked, "Uncle, what ...... Is there a job in the house? ”

The middle-aged man shook his head: "No." ”

"You!"

"Hey, don't be angry, just because we don't live here doesn't mean there aren't anywhere else. Come in with me. ”

The two were suspicious, but they still entered the house with the middle-aged man.

After the middle-aged man entered the door, he shouted at the courtyard: "Xiao He! Xiao He! ”

A young man ran out of the backyard and asked, "Steward Cui, have you negotiated a good price with the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau?" ”

"I didn't look for the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, the goods are not expensive, it's just trouble, and the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau charges a lot of money."

"Then how do we send it over?"

Steward Cui pointed at Fu Xiaohu and said, "Let them send it." ”

Xiao He looked at Fu Xiaohu with some suspicion and said, "They? Who are they? ”

"The two children who resisted yesterday."

"Can they make it?"

"Don't worry, it's not bad in nature, it's just a little arrogant. I can see that these two are practitioners...... Let people take things out. ”

It didn't take much time for two subordinates to come over with two baskets on their backs. The baskets were placed on the ground, and when the lid was lifted, Fu Xiaohu saw that there was a stone brick in each basket. The stone bricks are quite large, and they look like they weigh about fifty pounds.

Steward Cui said: "Master Luoyang Hou, the two square bricks at home are broken. Looking for a clear eye, you have to use the marble of Jinan Mansion, it just so happened that my lord went over there to do business, and Mr. Hou asked my lord to buy two. This thing is quite heavy, it's not worth sending a carriage to go, and the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau probably doesn't want to take on this kind of work without oil and water, so you two can go. ”

It was no problem for one person to carry fifty pounds for a day or two, and Fu Xiaohu decided to take over the job.

He asked, "How much do you give?" ”

"One hundred and twenty copper plates for one person."

Fu Xiaohu said: "Okay, we took this job, but ...... You'll have to pay twenty copper plates upfront. ”

Steward Cui said disdainfully: "Twenty? Walking to Luoyang City for one day and coming back for another day, twenty copper plates are not enough for you to eat. Boy, you can't open your mouth. Xiao He, take sixty copper plates. ”

Holding the sixty copper plates given by Steward Cui, the expression on Fu Xiaohu's face was a little subtle, and he couldn't say whether he was happy or embarrassed.

Steward Cui waved his hand and said, "It's still early, let's go quickly." ”

Fu Xiaohu clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, I ...... this kindness."

Steward Cui interrupted him: "I pay for it, you don't need to thank me for doing things." ”

With a basket on their backs, the two set off towards Luoyang City.

Although I haven't done much heavy work, I have the strength of two sticks. There was no discomfort other than the pain of the shoulder. From Nantun Town to Luoyang, the carriage took half a day, and the two legs had to walk for a day, and the two of them did not dare to delay, so they walked relatively fast.

After walking for a long time, the two people who had not eaten in the morning were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, and they happened to see a tea shed on the side of the road, so they went to rest their feet and eat something, and this money could not be saved.

The two were eating, when they heard a few martial arts people at the table next to them discussing something loudly.

"Four people, enter the Songshan faction. Qian Zhishui was a master of the Tianzi List back then, what was the result? It's still not an opponent. ”

"I heard that one of the four people is Zhu Mingyu from Qingfeng Guan."

"Yes, but there are three left, a man and two women, all of whom are from Changfeng Building."

"No, no, I've heard that Changfeng Lou sent three people out, and all three of them are little girls."

"This ...... I don't know......"

Hearing them say this, Fu Xiaohu and Tan Wushuang were stunned, and they both looked at each other: Isn't this Li Fenglan and them?

Fu Xiaohu turned his head and politely asked the few people in the rivers and lakes: "Driver, I want to inquire about it." ”

The people in the rivers and lakes were also very polite, and asked him rhetorically: "What does my brother want to inquire?" ”

"Those people from Changfeng Tower, are they fighting the Songshan faction?"

"Yes."

"Isn't the Songshan faction a big sect? Four people went in? ”

"Hey, brother, you're right, the Songshan faction is indeed a famous faction, but it can't stand up to the strength of other people's martial arts. I heard that there is a woman in yellow who has defeated the two masters of the Songshan faction, and it is effortless, and now martial arts people predict that these are estimated to be the top ten masters in the sky. ”

"Later, what about later?"

"It's gone."

"No, didn't the Songshan faction take revenge?"

"Revenge?" The Jianghu person smiled, "What revenge?" How to get revenge? On that day, more than 100 people from the Songshan faction had never beaten anyone, and they had already lost face, and more than 100 people gathered for people to fight? Lose someone again? ”

Fu Xiaohu was silent for a long time and said, "Thank you, I'm fine." ”

After speaking, he turned around, and the people in the rivers and lakes continued to talk loudly, and Fu Xiaohu and Tan Wushuang looked at each other.

Tan Wushuang whispered, "Amber...... Is it really that powerful? ”

"My dad said that if it was a desperate fight, he might win Emerald or Amber, but if it was a fight...... My dad had no hope of winning. ”

After speaking, the two of them stopped talking, but they both knew what each other was thinking: Look at Li Fenglan, it's only been more than a month, and it's already been a martial arts. Look at yourself again, you still have to live by doing coolies.

When the two of them were depressed, they heard the people from the rivers and lakes behind them say: "I heard that the four of them did not fight in vain, and they also extorted two thousand taels of silver from the Songshan faction." The martial arts sects that participated in the siege back then are now saving money, just hoping to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster. ”

When Fu Xiaohu and Tan Wushuang heard this, they instantly felt that the pickles in the bowl were not fragrant......
