"Right ahead."

It's an ordinary town.

At a glance.

The town is located at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the size of the town is not large.

Take a closer look.

It was afternoon, and there were fur traders from the county buying furs, and medicinal herb merchants picking herbs.

It's obvious.

This is a resource town that relies on the mountains and eats the mountains, and makes a living from hunting and collecting medicines, and this is Huangfuqi's hometown.

"Brother Qi!"

All the way.

Many young hunters recognized Huang Fuqi, and said with a happy face: "Brother Qi, when did you come back, do you still know me, I am Cao Liang, Xiao Liang who followed your ass to eat bird eggs when I was a child." ”

"Xiao Liang!"

Huang Fuqi smiled on his face: "You kid is so old for a while." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the pheasants and roe deer on the stall: "Didn't you join the martial arts hall, why are you still hunting in the mountains?" ”

Early years.

Hearing the news that he had entered Baishou Mountain, the young people in the town also emerged with a style of martial arts.

Cao Liang is one of them.

It's just that he failed to pass the mountain gate assessment, and was brushed down twice in a row, and later heard that he went to the county's martial arts hall.

"Brother Qi, I've been back for more than a year."

Cao Liang said as he lifted his clothes, revealing the scar on his stomach: "A senior brother who runs a restaurant at home invited us to make trouble in the opponent's restaurant, but the result is that people are not good at stubble, and the fight started without talking about it. ”

smiled self-deprecatingly: "Since then, I've been afraid, this knife stabbed in the stomach really hurts, so I ran back, and now the son inherits his father's business, and he has nothing to do to go up the mountain to beat rabbits, catch pheasants and the like, and the family also helps to say the doorman." ”

After speaking.

Carry a pheasant to the Huangfuqi.

Huang Fuqi did not refuse.

As an elite disciple in the mountain gate, he is also the idol of the younger generation in the village and town.

Huang Fuqi actually knows very well that most of the people who practice martial arts are not high and high, happy to enmity and revenge, but fight on the street, so brave and ruthless.

When will the name be passed out?

Everyone on the street knows that you are not easy to mess with, so some ruffians come to take refuge and call you big brother.

If you can get people in the loop, you can make money.

Establish a name, seven or eight brothers, and more than 100 younger brothers.

You're the leader of so-and-so.

When the time comes, you will be in charge of two or three streets, and the merchants on the street will have to give you filial piety, and you will take out some of it to make some county orders, masters, master books, and a group of head catchers, and you will be a tyrant in the county from now on.

And this is also the final destination of most martial artists.

"It's okay if you don't practice, you can rely on the mountains and eat the mountains, we haven't heard of anyone starving to death."

Huang Fuqi took out two pieces of broken silver: "But forget about the pheasant, if you just go up the mountain to play, and catch two wild animals and divide one with me, I won't say anything, but you are now hunting for a living, just point to this and sell it for money, if I take it for nothing, how can I be right to your brother." ”

"Chigo..."

"I'm your brother, I'll take you if I ask you to take it."

Huang Fuqi couldn't help but say something, and stuffed the broken silver into Cao Liang's hand.

Cao Liang smiled innocently, and while putting away the silver, he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Qi, you are not far from being first-class." ”

Huang Fuqi said vaguely: "Almost." ”

He's actually been first-class for a long time, he just doesn't want to show off.

"Top-notch..."

Cao Liang sighed sincerely: "The martial arts master who taught us is only a second-rate post-stage, if you don't go out with this strength, put it in the county, and open the hall disciples." ”

"Perhaps."

Summer insects are not enough to say ice.

What is Huang Fuqi's goal, is the garrison general of such and such a prefecture, or the vanguard of the army.

county.

Not to mention opening a martial arts hall, it is not uncommon for him to sit in the position of head catcher.

"Dad, mother..."

Huangfu Qi's house looked very dilapidated.

This is also unavoidable.

He studied art in the mountains, and his own expenses were already very large, plus his father was seriously ill in bed, and the little money sent back every month was used to buy medicine, and where did he go to build a new house.

"Kiki is back?"

It was an old woman who greeted her.

She looked like she was fifty or sixty years old, her eyes were white, and she groped her way out the door: "Is it Kiki?" ”

said again: "Your eldest sister came back in the morning, brought five catties of cornmeal, and a lot of dried sweet potatoes, which can be used to make your favorite sweet potato porridge." ”

"Mother, your eyes..."

Huang Fuqi stared.

"It's okay, I don't go out, and it's not a hindrance."

While the old woman spoke, she said with some uncertainty: "Qiqi, is there anyone else?" ”

"Auntie, my name is Jiang Xuan, I am Huang Fuqi's senior brother, and one of them is my maidservant Lime." Jiang Xuan took the initiative to say: "This time I went down the mountain, I have a sect task in my body, and I invited Senior Brother Huangfu to help me go, on the way back, I heard him say that he wanted to go home by the way, so we also followed, don't be too troublesome." ”

"It's not troublesome..."The old woman was very happy: "Qiqi has brought someone home for the first time in all these years, we are a poor place, there is nothing to entertain, just don't dislike it." ”

"Don't worry, auntie, I'm also from a poor family, and I couldn't eat a full meal when I was a child."

Jiang Xuan said as he handed over the gift box: "Auntie, there is nothing to bring, here are some brown sugar and rock sugar, if someone comes to the door, take a few rock candy out, and eat sweet." ”

The ceremony is not heavy.

If you really want to get two old ginseng sticks of thirty or fifty years old, maybe you will die at night.

Brown sugar and rock sugar.

Hangujie is an agrarian world, and the level of science and technology is underdeveloped.

These two things are rare at the moment, and if there is sugar, the children will love to come, and there will be more people.

......

"Originally, I had thought about going down the mountain this time."

"When I go back to the mountain gate, I will find the real person in charge of the sect to apply to go down the mountain, and then go to join the army, but unfortunately the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes, there are not many pioneers like me in the Shen Kingdom, and there are too few of me in the family."

Eating sweet potato porridge in a bowl.

Huang Fuqi struggled inwardly: "Senior brother, if it were you, what would you choose?" ”

Jiang Xuan didn't speak.

Because compared to Shen Guo, the family needs him more at this time.

It's just that these words can't be said by him, this is Huang Fuqi's choice question, and he must choose it himself.

Crunch.

Crunch...

On the way back to the mountain gate, Jiang Xuan hired two more carriages.

One was pulling Huang Fuqi's parents, and the other was pulling his sister's family.

The matter was arranged by Jiang Xuan.

After arriving in Changshou Town under the mountain gate, Jiang Xuan not only bought a small courtyard with a yard, but also helped Huang Fuqi's sister set up a shop in the town.

The shop is not big.

Thirty square meters, you can't do anything else, but it's enough to get a grocery store that sells needles and threads.

In addition, Jiang Xuan also invited a servant named Widow Liu.

She doesn't need to do anything, just wash clothes, cook, and boil medicine by the way.

For all this.

Huang Fuqi did not refuse.

It's just that when he returned to the mountain gate, he said behind him: "You have something, I won't refuse." ”
