Chapter 53: The Benefactor (Click)
It didn't take long.
The cooked meal was brought up by the old man in the horse coat and placed on the table.
A portion of fire-grilled cabbage, tofu sprinkled with a little coarse salt, and a portion of fried mushrooms with pheasant meat, with only a little oily shine in them, looks dry and unappetizing.
Su Heng took a piece of tofu with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
The tofu has been completely burned.
Just like the appearance, it is indeed very unpalatable.
The pheasant meat in the mountains tastes not good, the meat is very woody, and there are some stuffed teeth, and the broilers that have been carefully cultivated and bred in the previous life are completely incomparable.
But...
This world.
It's good to have something to eat, but who cares how the food tastes?
Su Heng and Zhu Xiaowu ate the food on the table and drank some yellowed and sour rice wine, chatting casually.
Su Heng's own personality is relatively dull, and he doesn't like to talk much on weekdays. Zhu Xiaowu's personality is very lively, this guy is a chatterbox, chattering non-stop on the table.
Conversation.
Su Heng also roughly knew Zhu Xiaowu's own experience in the past two years.
Since Old Man Zhu was beaten to death by Xu Biao, after burying his father, Zhu Xiaowu, who was alone, left Deling County.
He originally wanted to go to the nearby town of Changchun to join one of his relatives, but he didn't expect that the relative had already moved away from the town of Changchun and was missing.
Zhu Xiaowu, who was penniless, was taken in by a local gang in Changchun Township.
Zhu Xiaowu has a good appearance, and he is very good at talking, so he soon gained the attention of the gang leader.
From then on, Zhu Xiaowu followed the leader of the Changchun Gang to practice martial arts. I never thought that this guy's talent and understanding are good, which makes the gang leader pay more attention to liking.
He even wanted to marry his own daughter to him.
Merely.
According to Zhu Xiaowu's description.
The daughter of the old gang leader is more than 1.6 meters tall, but weighs more than 200 pounds, revealing a kind of militarized beauty all over her body.
Zhu Xiaowu didn't want to agree, but the old gang leader was so kind to him that he couldn't refuse, so this matter could only be left dry.
He concentrated on martial arts, pouring a lot of resources and the patient teaching of the old gang leader.
In just over a year.
Zhu Xiaowu had already completed two blood refining.
But before he and the old gang leader's daughter got married, there was turmoil in the Changchun Gang, and the old gang leader and his daughter were poisoned to death by his subordinates, and before he died, he told Zhu Xiaowu where the gang hid resources.
After avenging the gang leader.
Zhu Xiaowu scattered and sold the remaining resources in the gang in exchange for money.
went to Xiangjia Tubao to find follow-up exercises, and then was chased and killed, and happened to meet Su Heng passing by and was rescued by him.
Although I don't know how much of these stories are true and how much of them are false. But Zhu Xiaowu obviously had his own opportunities, otherwise, he would not have completed the second blood refining so quickly.
Come to think of it.
Su Heng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
If there is chaos today, life will be ruined, and order will completely collapse.
But for some martial artists, it is a great opportunity to fight. A family of local gentry like the Xiang family, once it completely collapses, it will be like a giant whale in the deep sea landing on the ground and everything growing.
With the outflow of a large amount of resources, there will be many civilian warriors who will benefit from this and have the opportunity to step into a higher realm of martial arts.
Halfway through the meal.
Zhu Xiaowu put down the chopsticks in his hand.
He had drunk a lot of alcohol, and his face looked unnaturally flushed from his previous injuries.
But Zhu Xiaowu's eyes were still shining, he looked at Su Heng, and after hesitating for a while, he still said seriously: "Brother Heng, there is one thing I have always wanted to ask you to understand. ”
"What's the matter?"
"The night my father died, I went to Xu Biao's house thinking that I would either slaughter him or I wouldn't be alive.
But halfway through, I saw a figure walking by. Then, when I arrived at Xu Biao's house, he was already dead, with blood all over his body, and his head was about to be smashed. ”
Zhu Xiaowu choked up a little and said, "Although there was no moon that night and it was very dark, the figure of that person was very similar to you, Brother Heng." ”
"That's right."
Su Heng nodded slightly and said, "Xu Biao was indeed killed by me." ”
"Ahem!"
Zhu Xiaowu stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, but tears still overflowed uncontrollably from the gaps between his fingers. He patted his thigh vigorously and coughed violently, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably.
After a while.
Zhu Xiaowu slowly relieved himself.
He raised his head, hugged his fists at Su Heng and said, "Brother Heng, you will be my reborn parents in the future." If it is useful to get my little five, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, my little five will never say anything! ”
It seems that he feels that his dry words are too weak.
Zhu Xiaowu took out the three cheats from his arms and slapped them on the table, "This red fire real skill was bought by me for 10,000 taels of silver, so I will give it to Brother Heng first to express my heart!" ”
The old man in the horse coat behind the counter heard the movement.
At first, he glanced at his desk with some distress and found that the table was not broken, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he looked at the three books on the table, pouted, three broken books, worth 10,000 taels of silver, who to scare?
"This..."
Su Heng shook his head and pushed the three cheats back: "These three cheats are not very useful to me. And if you really want to share it, just copy it for me, why bother? ”
"Hehe, what Brother Heng said is true."
Zhu Xiaowu scratched his head and shouted at the old man in the horse coat: "You have a pen and paper here, get it for me quickly." ”
The old man in the horse coat rolled his eyes and said lightly: "You have to add money!" ”
Half an hour later.
The shopkeeper removed the food from the table.
Zhu Xiaowu held a brush in his hand, lying on the table and copying as if no one was around.
Su Heng took the other two cheats by himself, and looked through them carefully.
He doesn't lack real skills for the time being, but there will definitely not be too many such things. Even if you don't plan to practice in the future, if you look at it more, you can provide some ideas for reference, and you will always gain something.
Not to mention.
A complete true skill that leads directly to refining strength.
The price often costs tens of thousands of taels of silver, even if Su Heng doesn't practice himself, he can exchange it for money or give it to others, which is very good.
As his size grew, Su Heng's perception became more and more amazing. It's not impressive, but it's not far off. The three cheats were flipped through by Su Heng, and the contents in them could be roughly written down by Su Heng.
When the book turns to the last page.
What appeared on it was not text, nor a pattern of moves, but a painting.
The picture is a bit sloppy, but it can be seen as a burning red meadow, and in the center, a red stag is grazing with its head down.
The fury of the wildfire burning and destroying everything, the tranquility in the red deer's pupils...
Two diametrically opposed emotional pictures.
Blended together.
Just by looking at it, it makes a deep impression.
