Silk Town.

Jin Fu was busy preparing the ingredients needed for the evening in the back kitchen.

Since the black cloud was exterminated, Xiushui Town and its surroundings have returned to their former calm.

The rich who had fled had also returned.

The town is bustling again.

Even this small restaurant began to get busy.

But even so, the income is still only enough for Jin Fu to barely survive.

Thinking of this, Jin Fu, who had just kneaded a large vat of noodles and was waking up, couldn't help sighing.

In his spare time, Jin Bok will remember the origin of his name.

The name that his father racked his brains to give him at the beginning can be said to be pinning infinite hopes.

Coupled with their family name, they are even more blessed.

On the contrary, three generations of their ancestors have lived in extreme hardship.

His grandfather worked hard all his life, and finally he didn't even eat a full meal, and his father became ill from hard work in order to open this small restaurant, and died early.

Now in his generation, although he can't be hungry, he wants to get ahead with this small restaurant to marry a wife and have children, which is destined to be a luxury.

After feeling sorry for himself for a while, Kim Bok got up and prepared to cut the noodles in advance for the evening.

At this moment, the curtain of the door was lifted, and a cold wind penetrated in.

Then a sloppy middle-aged man walked in from the outside.

I saw that the padded jacket on his body was blooming, and the oil stains on his chest were even thicker and could reflect light, and his appearance was even more miserable than a flower child.

As soon as he saw this man, Jin Fu couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

"Old Yangtou, why are you here again?"

The man did not respond, but groped in his arms for a long time before finally pulling out a grain of stained silver sand.

"A pot of broken glass."

Broken glass is the name of a kind of wine, because the quality of the wine is so turbid that when you drink it, it is like swallowing a mouthful of broken glass, so it is named.

This is also the cheapest type of liquor sold at the restaurant.

And this man is also the old Yang Tou before.

When he came to the small restaurant, he didn't look like he was now, but he had to order four dishes for each meal, and then ask for a pot of lotus white, and then sit down and drink slowly.

But now it's so mixed that I don't even dare to buy more wine like broken glass.

Seeing this scene, Jin Fu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Since Heiyunzi was exterminated by the heroes of Canglong Temple, the man who befriended the old Yang Tou mother-in-law has never been here.

After a long time, Lao Yangtou's mother-in-law couldn't stand the suffering, so she ran away with someone.

Leaving Lao Yang Tou alone at home, he was either drinking or on the way to drink every day.

"Old Yang Tou, don't drink it, you have the money to buy a padded jacket, although it's over the New Year now, it's still early for the beginning of spring, and if you continue to mix like this, you won't freeze to death." Jin Fu kindly dissuaded.

But Lao Yang didn't listen to it at all, but stretched out his hand and said indifferently.

"Shattered glass."

At this time, a few idlers in the small restaurant who often drank couldn't help laughing when they saw this.

"Little gold, don't bother, the old Yang Tou still has to see his mother-in-law after getting drunk."

"Old Yang Tou, where did you get this money, I heard that you even sold the roof tiles at home, and it will snow, so you kid don't have to go out to see the snow."

In these joking and mocking words, Lao Yang Tou looked numb, as if he hadn't heard it.

Seeing this scene, Jin Fu could only shake his head helplessly, took the silver sand, and then went to the wine urn next to him to beat a pot full of broken glass.

"Well, I'll give you another salted duck egg, otherwise it's easy to get into trouble drinking this kind of liquor on an empty stomach." Jin Fu said.

Lao Yang didn't say thank you, took the wine jug and couldn't wait to take a big sip first, and then staggered out.

"Hey, where are you going? Drink it right here. Jin Fu was really relieved, and walked out of the wine cabinet and was about to stop him.

At that moment, the curtain was lifted again, and a man walked in from outside.

"Shopkeeper, come to a bowl of noodles."

The sound is clear.

Jin Fu always felt that this voice was a little familiar, but when he looked up, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Not only him, but these idlers who were smiling and mocking Old Yang Tou were also silent after seeing the comer, and they didn't dare to say more.

The person who came was a young man with a long body, who looked to be about twenty years old, and his clothes were not luxurious, but they were very clean and tidy.

The face is handsome, especially the eyes, which shine like stars.

Such a handsome character, where have they seen it in these small towns, they are naturally a little surprised.

Could it be that the noble son of a wealthy family came out to play?

Jin Fu reacted relatively quickly and hurriedly agreed.

"Okay, please take a seat."

As he spoke, he wiped the table and chair very attentively.

Zhao Ya sat down, his gaze swept over the faces of these people in the restaurant.

Well, basically nothing has changed, it's still the same people who pretended to be You Fanglang last time.

Except for this old Yang head.

Zhao Ya was deeply impressed by the fact that this mother-in-law was sleeping with someone, but she hid in a small restaurant to drink.

I didn't expect to see each other for a few days, but I actually fell into this way.

But it's normal to think about it, after all, his mother-in-law's lover, that is, Hei Yunzi's subordinate, has been killed by himself.

For people like Lao Yang Tou, Zhao Ya can't say that he likes it, but he definitely doesn't like it, so his eyes just swept away.

But for Zhao Ya, a casual glance at it, for people like Lao Yang Tou, it was a huge earthquake and almost fell to the ground.

Then he hurried out of the small restaurant.

Not only him, but also the other idlers felt the strong pressure, so they all slipped away.

Soon, Zhao Ya and this Jin Fu were left in the small restaurant.

When Jin Fu walked up with a bowl of hot shredded pork noodles, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

You must know that these idlers can buy a glass of wine and stay in the small restaurant for a whole day, just to rub off the heat here, otherwise they will have to make a fire when they go home, what a waste of wood.

Why did you leave so early today?

Jin Fu was still a little confused.

Zhao Ya had already picked up the bowl and snorted and ate it.

To be honest, the taste of noodles is not really good.

After all, small rice shops can't buy any good ingredients, it's just to fill their stomachs.

But Zhao Ya still didn't waste anything and ate the entire bowl of noodles.

After eating, he put down his chopsticks and smiled at Jin Fu.

"Little shopkeeper, how old are you this year?"

Jin Fu was a little confused, so he always felt that this young man looked at him very strangely.

It's as if the elders are looking at the juniors.

"Just turned eighteen." Jin Fu replied honestly.

Zhao Ya nodded, "Very good." ”

"Huh? Good what? Jin Fu didn't understand.

"I mean, you're a good age, and I think I was so energetic when I was the same age as you." Zhao Ya said.

If it weren't for being intimidated by Zhao Ya's momentum, Jin Fu really wanted to scold.

I'm only about twenty years old, how can I talk so old-fashioned?

But at this time, Jin Fu could only accompany the smiling face, and did not dare to say anything about it.

Zhao Ya smiled secretly in his heart when he saw this, and finally decided not to tease him.

"Is the little shopkeeper so young that he is ready to guard this small restaurant for the rest of his life?"

"What else can I do?" Jin Fu smiled bitterly.

"I have no ability, and I have no background, what else can I do except this small restaurant left at home?"

"Then if I have a road here, is the little shopkeeper willing to go?"

"What way?" Jin Fu asked immediately, but then added.

"Let's talk about it first, I won't do anything wrong."

Zhao Ya smiled, "Don't worry, if you are a wrongdoer, I don't want you." ”

"Do you know who I am?"

After a moment, Jin Fu's eyes widened, and his hands trembled slightly.

Because he knows that what he is facing at this moment may be a major choice related to the fate of his life.

"So are you willing or ......."

"I do!" Jin Fu said categorically, and then knelt down with a plop.

"You have to think clearly, after joining Canglong Temple, you can no longer quit, and you must be bound by the rules of the temple, and if you violate it, you will be severely punished." Zhao Ya said.

"The disciple has thought clearly, if he really violates the temple rules, he will not complain about any punishment."

"Okay, then from now on, you will be the outer disciple of Canglong Temple." Zhao Ya immediately made a decision.

Jin Bok was trembling with excitement.

He knew that his fate would be turned over.

Although the road ahead is still very difficult, it is better than living alone in a small restaurant.

"Get up, then pack up your things, and go to the outer gate of Canglong Temple to report on your own, and when you get there, you will say that I introduced you, and someone will greet you."

"Then Master......."

"Don't call me Master, I'm your senior brother, understand?" Zhao Ya corrected.

"Yes, Senior Brother, where are you going?" Kim Bok asked.

"Naturally, it's time to go to the next place to recruit disciples, you don't have to ask more, just pack up and leave quickly."

This is also a test for Jin Fu, if he can't even give up this bit of possessions, then his achievements in martial arts in the future are destined to be limited.

"Understood." Jin Fu got up and immediately went to work.

Zhao Ya didn't stop, turned around and walked out of the small restaurant.

Looking at the homes of those wealthy families in the distance, Zhao Ya suddenly remembered that when he did the task of Heiyunzi's division, it was clearly written.

After the completion of the matter, there will not only be a contribution reward from the teacher, but also a bounty raised by these merchants.

But until now, Zhao Ya has not received this money.

If it was someone else, Zhao Ya would probably have to wonder if he was greedy for ink.

But it was Shen Yunshen who was in charge of the task of the division, and this person didn't value money at all except for the things in the cup.

So there is only one possibility, that is, these rich people have gone back on their word and have not paid the money at all.

Maybe they think that Canglong Temple is such a big industry, and it is estimated that they can't look down on this bit of silver at all, anyway, the people of Heiyunzi have already subdued the law, and it is okay if they don't pay for it.

But Zhao Ya didn't think so.

If Canglong Temple wants to be truly reborn, the most important thing is to change this ambiguous attitude.

Meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and faults will be punished.

Only in this way can Canglong Temple be truly awe-inspiring.

So Zhao Ya decided to solve this matter before going to Nandian Town.

A moment later, among the largest wealthy families in Xiushui Town, the head of the family, Sun Cheng, was having dinner with his aunts and wives.

It was hot pot that was eaten.

While eating, Sun Cheng was interested, and asked his new aunt's wife to sing a little song to help the fun.

It was freezing outside, but the house was as warm as spring, and Sun Cheng was eating hot pot and listening to songs, not to mention how happy he was.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the restaurant.

"Damn, it's haunted!"

There is an aunt and wife who was frightened and fainted on the spot, or this Sun Cheng went south and north, and he was more courageous, but he also knew that the person who came was by no means an ordinary person, so he asked forcefully.

"You...... Who are you? ”

Zhao Ya didn't talk nonsense, "Master Sun, the black cloud has been exterminated, and your caravan can be reactivated, just because the time before the year ago was quite profitable." ”

Sun Cheng was speechless, "You...... You....... ”

"I'm from Canglong Temple, what did you say when you ran to Canglong Temple for help, you must know best, now the black cloud has been exterminated by us, but what about the money promised to us?" Zhao Ya said lightly.

Sun Cheng came down in a cold sweat as soon as he heard this.

After Heiyunzi was exterminated, the rest of the merchants said that they would pay a bounty, but they were stopped by Sun Cheng.

He felt that Canglong Temple should not take care of such trivial matters, and it would be better to have the money to stay and pay for a few aunts.

As a result, I didn't expect to be approached by someone.

He was speechless, and finally could only say, "I...... I forgot, I'm sorry, I'll have someone pick it up for you right now. ”

"The amount agreed upon before is no longer good, and now we have to take twice as much." Zhao Ya said.

Sun Cheng gritted his teeth, "Okay, twice as much, twice as much, but I'm not the only one who hasn't given money, you have to go and see the others." ”

"That's nature."

Sun Cheng didn't dare to slack off at this time, and ordered someone to take the money and hand it to Zhao Ya in person.

Zhao Ya took it in his hand, opened it and saw that there was a thick pile of gold leaves inside, and he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

"Okay, then don't disturb Master Sun's Yaxing, let's go."

After the words fell, Zhao Ya disappeared into the restaurant with a flash.

Sun Cheng was so frightened that he trembled all over, and secretly congratulated himself that he didn't have the idea of being a fan of money just now, otherwise what was cooking in the hot pot now might be his own head.

"Old ...... Master, do you still eat it? Mrs. You's aunt asked tremblingly.

"Eat and eat, and eat a fart, from today onwards, the whole family will give me a month's vegetarian diet." Sun Cheng said sadly.

At the same time, Zhao Ya neatly turned around all the homes of the rich families in Xiushui Town.

There was really someone who didn't want to give money, but with Zhao Ya's slight punishment, the two sides quickly reached a happy consensus.

When Zhao Ya left Xiushui Town with a bag full of gold leaves and went to Nandian Town.

Xia Jiye of Canglong Temple is meeting a person in a hidden corner of the back mountain at the moment.

"These are the specifics of this target, and there is a portrait of him in it." Xia Jiye threw away a package.

On the opposite side was an ordinary middle-aged man, the kind that could not be found if thrown into the crowd.

He took the package, opened it, and sneered.

"The Five Realms? When did Elder Xia have an opponent of this grade? ”
