Chapter 9: Encounter with the Swan
Ye Chong lay in bed for three days.
was not lightly injured by Zhou, so he had to silently heal in the room, watching the time pass little by little, and he was quite resentful in his heart.
If it weren't for the three of them, he might have achieved a small Moro sword technique by now. For the assessment of the disciples of the inner courtyard who was getting closer and closer, he was more anxious than anyone else, because he didn't have much time originally, and now he has even less.
The only gain from the battle with Zhou Meng was that he realized the importance of spiritual weapons, which was enough to turn the tide of the battle.
Therefore, he strengthened his belief in becoming a disciple of the inner court, and he also wanted a spiritual weapon that he could hold in his hand without fear of being discovered!
Three days later, Ye Chong got out of bed.
Liu Daman, who was in the kitchen in the past three days, also came to him, because he didn't send wood, but after seeing Ye Chong's scars, he had to give up and leave.
The Divine General Academy stipulates that during the first ten days of the assessment of the disciples of the inner court, the disciples of the outer court can concentrate on preparing for the assessment without having to work.
Therefore, from today onwards, Ye Chong does not need to prepare any wood for the back kitchen.
He took the somewhat ugly wooden sword he had sharpened by his hand, and carried the scroll of Moro swordsmanship in his arms, and went out to the grove in the back mountain again.
Back Mountain.
Ye Chong sat on the grass and slowly opened the scroll in his hand.
The content of Moro Swordsmanship slowly appeared in front of his eyes, and then, the content on the scroll disappeared into his mind.
A complete set of swordsmanship was practiced in his mind, just like when he learned Ben Thunder Fist, every movement, every change in qi was extremely detailed.
Ye Chong closed his eyes and quietly savored this set of swordsmanship.
The swordsmanship of the beginner level is much more advanced than the beginner level of the middle grade, and this time, Ye Chong sat for a whole day.
On the second day, there was a scene on the mountain behind him holding a wooden sword and dancing.
……
There is still one last day left before the inner courtyard disciple assessment.
Ye Chong had already cultivated to the fourth level of the Moro Sword Technique.
Now he can have the upper hand even in the face of Zhou Meng, who is holding a Xuan-rank lower-grade blade.
However, Ye Chong still felt dissatisfied, because he had not yet fully mastered this Moro sword technique.
He didn't know that the speed of his cultivation was enough to make many young geniuses hide their faces in shame.
He just felt that there was not enough time, seeing that there was only one day, and tomorrow would be the day of the assessment, Ye Chong had to stop practicing.
On this last day, he needs to recuperate and store his energy so that he can perform stably in the martial arts assessment. In this regard, he drew on the experience of facing exams when he was in school on earth, and the day before each big exam, he would do nothing, go out for a walk and rest.
Ye Chong walked out of the Divine General's Courtyard and walked on the streets of Chaoge City.
This city of the same name, which is the capital of an ancient dynasty on earth, is extraordinarily prosperous, with all kinds of shops on both sides of the streets, complete costumes, weapons, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, busy streets, lively and noisy, and delicious food from food stalls.
Ye Chong likes this atmosphere very much, in his previous life, when he was fine, he would drive around the most prosperous streets alone without a purpose. It's just that occasionally on a whim, I find a beautiful woman to talk to, and then drive the beautiful woman to a luxurious hotel in a luxury car.
Although there are occasionally a few good-looking women on the street now, Ye Chong has no urge to talk to him in the past.
Because he doesn't have a car, and he doesn't have money.
There are a few copper plates in his pocket, and he is wearing a coarse cloth coat, if he rashly accosted the official lady, I am afraid that he will be beaten by someone's family before he says a few words.
Ye Chong remembered Ye Chonglou's words that day, he could find a woman, he couldn't help but show a wry smile, poor dicks will not be favored by beauties in any world, and the matter of the Shen family is an example.
"Rock sugar gourd!
A shout pulled Ye Chong's mind back to its original place, and he immediately turned his head to look at the source of the sound, and between him was an old man with gray hair, wearing coarse cloth clothes, standing at the door of a jade shop, holding a rock sugar gourd like a red plum blooming and dotted with branches!
This is Ye Chong's favorite snack in his previous life, but he was embarrassed when he was young, and he lost interest when he grew up, and now he suddenly sees it in another world, and he can't help but feel a wonderful feeling.
Ye Chong touched a few copper plates in his pocket and stepped forward.
"How much is a string of rock sugar gourds?" he asked.
"A string only needs two copper plates, a secret recipe, the taste is sweet and sour, little brother come to a string!" the old man greeted warmly.
Ye Chong took out the copper plate in his pocket, a total of four, took two and handed it to the old man, "Give me a string." ”
"Okay!"
Soon, Ye Chong had an extra string of bright red rock sugar gourds in his hand, and after he took a bite, he only felt that it was extremely delicious, and it seemed that he had returned to the bitter but joyful time of his childhood in the orphanage.
"Grandpa, grandpa, I want rock sugar gourd too!"
A voice interrupted him.
Ye Chong turned his head to see that a dirty and tattered little beggar was pulling the pants of the old man who sold sugar gourds.
"Get out of the way!" the little beggar is making a fuss!" the old man scolded, stretched out his hand, and pushed the little beggar down at the door of the jade shop.
The little beggar, who looked like he was seven or eight years old, immediately began to cry after he fell.
Ye Chong frowned, as if he saw himself when he was a child, he stepped forward, handed out the last two copper plates on his body, bought a string of rock sugar gourds, and then walked to the little beggar, squatted down and said, "Little brother, don't cry, come, this string of sugar gourds is for you." ”
After the little beggar took the string of sugar gourds, he really didn't cry, but he didn't eat it, and looked at Ye Chong in a daze and said, "Brother, are you also a beggar?"
"Huh?" Ye Chong couldn't help laughing, "How could I be a beggar?"
"Then why do you call me little brother? Only a beggar would call me a beggar brother. The little beggar said innocently.
Ye Chong was happy and nodded at him, "Okay, my brother has also been a beggar before, that's why I call you little brother." ”
A smile suddenly appeared on the little beggar's face, and he nodded at Ye Chong and said, "Thank you, brother." ”
Ye Chong helped the little beggar up, patted the dust on his body, thought about it, and said: "Little brother, in this world, there are many delicious and fun things, but you can only get them by your own efforts." It's never going to be useful to ask someone for it, not everyone will give you a string when you want to eat a sugar gourd, man, it's useless to cry, tears are the most worthless thing, you know?"
Perhaps because of the experience of his previous life, Ye Chong was particularly serious when he said these words to this little beggar.
The little beggar nodded half-understandingly, wiped his tears and said, "Well, I remember my brother's words, and I won't cry anymore." ”
Hearing that he thought he was blaming him for crying, Ye Chong couldn't help but shake his head, yes, this child is still young, how could he understand these truths at his age?
"Why don't you eat it?" Ye Chong asked when he saw that the little beggar was holding the sugar gourd in his hand for a long time, but he didn't bite a bite.
The little beggar's face turned red, and he said a little shyly: "Brother, it's not that I want to eat, it's my sister who wants to eat, and I want it." ”
When Ye Chong clearly saw him say this, his eyes glanced at the bright red rock sugar gourd and swallowed his saliva.
But the sincerity and kindness of the little beggar still touched him very much.
Ye Chong handed over the rock sugar gourd that he had taken a bite of, "If you don't dislike being eaten by my brother, this string will be given to you." ”
The little beggar was a little embarrassed to take it.
Ye Chong smiled and stuffed it into his hand, "Take it, go back and eat it with your sister alone." ”
A trace of tears appeared in the little beggar's eyes, but he quickly wiped them away, as if thinking of Ye Chong's words, a man should not cry.
He bowed to Ye Chong, "Thank you, brother, you are a good person." ”
Then he turned and walked away.
Ye Chong smiled, he just thought about the past, and he had been chatting with this little beggar for so long, but he was much meaner in his previous life, and after he became famous, he didn't even go over to look at the welfare house back then, and now that he thinks about it, he really shouldn't be.
At this moment, a man in a military uniform suddenly passed by on a fast horse on the street.
And the little beggar with two gourds in rock sugar in his hands was in the middle of the street.
"Stinky beggar, get out!" the military master on horseback raised his whip and was about to whip it.
Ye Chong was startled, and he was about to rush over quickly.
At that moment a fragrant wind passed by him, and a woman in a green dress ran out of the jade shop, rushed under the horse before him, and dragged the little beggar to him, and kicked it at the same time.
People turn on their backs.
The military master got up scolding, and was about to find the woman's trouble, but he saw a sign in the woman's hand, and the military master immediately died down, respectfully clasped his fists and bowed, and then led the horse away.
"Little brother, are you okay?" Ye Chong had already come to the woman, and he directly bent down and asked eagerly.
The little beggar's eyes were slightly red, he looked at his empty hands, and choked up: "Brother, my sugar gourd has fallen." ”
"If you drop it, you can drop it, it's okay if you're fine, and you can eat the sugar gourd in the future." Ye Chong patted his head.
"Do you know him?" the woman's voice sounded, crisp and pleasant.
Ye Chong looked up and found that she was still a girl with a rather dusty appearance and temperament, the same age as her current self, so she immediately nodded and said, "This child is my friend." ”
The woman seemed to think this was a bit strange and frowned, but said anyway, "Take care of your friends." ”
Then he turned around and walked back to the jade shop.
"Okay, little brother, don't be sad, pay attention to your next walk. Ye Chong rubbed his head, "Let's go." ”
The little beggar didn't leave, he was a little worried, but he still looked at Ye Chong with a tremble and said, "Brother, can you buy me another string of rock sugar gourds?" My sister is sick, very sick, she said that she wants to eat rock sugar gourds, I can't go home empty-handed. ”
"......" Ye Chong was silent, he was infected by this child's emotions, and he wanted to buy two more strings of rock sugar gourds for them, but he didn't even have a copper plate on his body.
He thought for a moment and said to the little beggar, "Wait for me for a while." ”
Then he took a deep breath and turned around and walked towards the jade shop.
What is it to talk to a beautiful woman, dare to borrow money from a beautiful woman you don't know. Yes, he was going to borrow money from the woman in the green dress, borrowing four copper plates.
