Chapter 7: The Afflictions of the Immortals
Zheng Tu came over early in the morning, and when he saw Qin Chuan, he was a little surprised.
"Brother Chuan?"
He was a little incredulous, the person was still the same person, and his complexion was very different from more than half a month ago.
Qin Chuan smiled, "What's the matter, Brother Zheng." You won't be unrecognizable. โ
Zheng Tu said enviously: "Brother Chuan, I heard that wolf meat is a big supplement, but I didn't expect the effect to be so good." In a few days, I will also find a few people and go to the mountains to see if I can fight another wolf. โ
Although Qin Chuan's appearance has not changed much, his body is obviously much stronger, his complexion is ruddy, and the blood of the young man Fang Gang can be seen at a glance.
Qin Chuan laughed: "If Brother Zheng fights another wolf, I will definitely buy some and taste it again." โ
He also wondered if all wolf meat was like this.
In fact, I probably guessed in my heart that it shouldn't be, but I always have to see a result to really know.
Zheng Tu said with a smile: "I really beat a wolf, and I will definitely give you a few catties when the time comes, as a congratulatory gift for you to be admitted to Xiucai." โ
Qin Chuan has already passed two child exams, only the last one is missing, Zheng Tu through contact with Qin Chuan, convinced that Qin Chuan will definitely be able to pass the exam this time.
Sixteen-year-old Xiucai, ten miles and eight towns may not be able to produce one a year. Although I heard that in the provincial capital, there are twelve or thirteen-year-old talents every year, but it is the provincial capital.
In the village, the sixteen-year-old Xiucai, in the eyes of the villagers, really has a bright future.
What's more, the world is closed to traffic, from the court to the countryside, and the friendship of the countryside has always been watched. Since Qin Chuan has great potential, he is really happy to have a good relationship with Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan didn't refuse, and smiled: "Then thank you Brother Zheng." โ
"Brother Chuan, you're right, look at what I brought to you."
When he removed the object from his back, it was a qiรจ made of rough wood, about two feet wide on the left and right, and about one foot six high on the top and bottom.
The book is a common thing for scholars to prepare when traveling. It is cheap to carry, and it can be filled with pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and some books.
A good book basket is also equipped with a pole to carry a cloth curtain, which can prevent rain and rain.
is similar to the one that Ning Caichen carried in a Chinese Ghost Story movie.
Of course, this rough wooden book basket naturally does not have those functions, but in addition to opening and installing the four treasures of the next room, you can also put Ying Ning in it, and you can also put the remaining dry wolf meat in it.
That's the ration he had before and after the hospital exam.
It turned out that Zheng Tu knew that Qin Chuan's family was in difficulty, so he specially sent the book he gave his son and lent it to Qin Chuan for a few days.
Qin Chuan gladly accepted Zheng Tu's kindness.
The two made an appointment to leave tomorrow.
Tomorrow Zheng Tu's wife will go to the provincial capital, it turns out that the wolf skin has found a buyer, it is a relative of the Zheng family, in the city of a large family as a housekeeper, the young master of the big family is interested in the wolf skin, to the city, see the goods, can directly sell to him.
I heard that the family was generous, and the wolf skin could be sold for a good price.
Regarding the sale of wolf skins, Zheng Tu also wanted to ask Qin Chuan to come forward.
Because there is a big family opposite, the young master is also a scholar. Zheng Tu thinks about it, and it is still easy to communicate with readers.
He is a butcher, and when he sees people, he can't help but be weak.
This is a common problem of the people of the time, the generation of rural peddlers and pawns, when they see scholars, they are always a head shorter, not to mention that they are still big families.
Of course, Zheng Tu doesn't know that only those who show talent in the examination can be called a real reader.
However, a teenager like Qin Chuan, who is about to take the college examination and is only sixteen years old, can often make people in the circle pay a little attention.
The sooner you are admitted to the examination, the more opportunities you have to be promoted, and the greater the possibility of becoming an official in the future.
The imperial examination is a single-plank bridge crossed by thousands of troops, and once crossed, it is to climb the dragon gate.
The next day, Zheng Tu and Qin Chuan converged and pulled a wooden donkey cart over, on which the wolf skin and the meat to be sold in the city were all on it.
Zheng Tu didn't leave a place for Qin Chuan to sit in the car.
Because the dirt road in the countryside is difficult to walk, on the wooden cart, it is really a toss. Dozens of miles down, the bones had to fall apart.
Fortunately, Qin Chuan's physique has now exceeded the level of ordinary adults, carrying a book on his back, and slowly following Zheng Tu and his party all the way to the city.
Zheng Tu wanted to help him memorize the book for a while, but Qin Chuan also refused.
In fact, moving forward with weight, by adjusting the rhythm of breathing, he can also practice the Mixed Yuan Tongzi Gong a little.
Ying Ning has been drinking meat porridge with him these days, and she has indeed grown meat.
It looks like he is already in his early year, barely able to stand up and walk staggeringly. And this child is not afraid of cold or heat, and is very easy to feed.
Xiao Yingning often pokes out of the book on the road, looking around, there is often laughter, and it is cute.
Zheng Tu and the others have entered the city many times, knowing that the journey is hard, but this time they don't feel hard at all.
Children's vitality and cute smiles are actually the source of happiness and the motivation for adults to fight.
If Zheng Tu hadn't been for his son's future, he wouldn't have thought of going to the city to do business.
In fact, he can't be a few years older than Qin Chuan.
But it looks like he is much older than Qin Chuan.
It's not just the years that make people old, but also the burden of life.
Qin Chuan thought that in a few years, he would have to change his appearance and even need to change places, otherwise it would be too easy to attract attention.
This is the distress of being an immortal species.
It is also the trouble of happiness.

The surname of the big family is Wang, and Qin Chuan met the young master of the Wang family with a wolf skin through the relationship of the Zheng family's relatives.
Wang Fu is 26 years old this year, and he has already taken the children's examination nine times, and he has failed nine times. Soon after, it was his 10th children's examination, and this time he was lucky enough to finally take the college examination for the first time.
He had recently heard that wolf skins had the effect of warding off evil spirits and calming the nerves, and he wanted to wear a wolfskin jacket when taking the exam.
However, wolf skins are rare and not often available.
What's more, he's still a fat man, so he has to make a tailor-made one. If you want to buy a ready-made wolf skin jacket, you can't.
If you wait a little longer, you will definitely be able to buy wolf skins, but the hospital test will not wait for anyone.
Just when he was about to be disappointed, he didn't expect to learn the news of the wolfskin from the butler.
So Wang Fu and Qin Chuan met.
"Hey, didn't you say that the other party was a butcher? I don't look like it. โ
The butler explained.
Wang Fu couldn't help but smile, "It turns out that you are also about to take the college exam, let me tell you, the rules of the college exam are big, you must pay attention." But it's your first time to take the test, there is a high probability of not winning this time, and don't be sad. By the way, how old are you......"
Wang Fu is a good friend, seeing that Qin Chuan is not very old, he is going to participate in the hospital exam with him, and he also brought the wolf skin that he misses, which is simply fateful.
"Sixteen."
Wang Fu was suddenly surprised that he could take the hospital exam at the age of sixteen.
As a scumbag, he suddenly realized that Qin Chuan was not simple.
He saw that Qin Chuan was heroic and strong, and thought that he was at least twenty. And Qin Chuan also came with a child, guessing that he was already married.
I didn't expect him to be sixteen years old.
In fact, it is not too early to get married at the age of sixteen, but when he came to take the hospital exam at the age of sixteen, Wang Fu was a little shocked.
However, he still pretended to be very calm and patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder, "Then don't worry, you try how deep the water is in the hospital test this time, and you will be more sure next time." Come, let's take a look at this wolf skin first. โ
