Chapter 19 About My Relationship with Shi Yue
Good luck comes at a price.
Wang Luo felt deeply about this sentence, so he said it very sincerely.
Needless to say, his luck was very good.
How could a person with bad luck be born with a top-level Dao body? The rarity of this kind of physique is much rarer than just ten consecutive three yellows!
But how could a lucky person lose all his relatives due to war when he was a child?
But how could a person with bad luck be the only survivor when the bandits wreaked havoc on the whole village? When Immortal Master Song Yijing found Wang Luo, he happened to be lying in a piece of collapsed wooden furniture, avoiding the sight of all the military bandits, and also avoiding all the burning beams, wood, bricks and stones!
But how could a lucky person encounter the biggest Heavenly Dao catastrophe in Kyushu when his cultivation was just on the right track and was about to condense the Myriad Golden Pill?!
But how could a person who was unlucky survive the catastrophe in which hundreds of millions of cultivators had fallen?
Today, Wang Luo has a deeper understanding of the word luck to his senior sister Lu Zhiyao's advice.
Good luck comes at a price.
Although it is obvious that Wang Luo's price is usually paid by others...... But he never likes to harm others and benefit himself, which has never been the style of Lingshan people.
As for the specific matter of drawing cards for the scrolls, in terms of his usual luck, it may not be possible to maintain the miracle of every draw, but the shipment rate must also be much higher than the average value of ordinary people, that is, the value marked by the scroll workshop.
Then the person who asked him to draw on his behalf obviously had to pay the price of this good luck.
For example, become a waste person who is obsessed with too virtual pictures and wastes reality!
Fang Qingqing tossed the spoon in Lao Hong's shop for a day, and finally earned a thousand spirit leaves, but turned his head and threw it into the scroll without blinking his eyes!
A person who originally had the temperament of an eldest sister, after seeing Shouhe, he seemed to be a busy licking dog! Lao Hong paid her salary, but I didn't see her licking like this!
And the attitude of Zhang Dian and Zhao Jinxi strengthened Wang Luo's judgment, especially Zhao Jinxi, who could have kept himself clean and stayed away from the painting scroll. But after seeing Wang Luo's card drawing record, he resolutely decided to devote himself to the picture scroll......
Then of course Wang Luo will not help them draw on their behalf.
Good luck comes at a price, and that's reason enough to make them retreat.
——
The three workers did not force Wang Luo anymore, seeing that he was unwilling, Zhang Dian and Zhao Jinxi only sighed a few words of pity, and left Fang Qingqing's stone castle.
Zhao Jinxi said that he was going to Qinglu to listen to the beautiful girl he pushed alone, and he also wanted to paste the record of the four draws and four gold draws in a conspicuous position in Zhaotang to earn a wave of eyeballs.
Zhang Dian said that he had a gang war to fight in "Feiyuan Lu", although the enemy was strong and his gang was defeated, he must go to a tragic hero.
So Wang Luo also took the opportunity to leave.
On the one hand, he didn't want to disturb Fang Qingqing's madness towards Shou Heyue, on the other hand, he had already roughly seen Taixu's appearance, his curiosity had been satisfied, and it was time to go home.
After a short time, the blind stream combination in front of the window of the wine shop was scattered.
When Wang Luo returned to Shifu, Shi Yue had just finished the night shift, wearing a dusty little shoulder with the words "Baichengtong" printed on his chest and back. The girl's face was full of tiredness, her steps were staggering, and when she saw Wang Luo, her greetings seemed weak, and the flavor of Rongcheng was full.
"Good night...... Why are you so late? ”
"It's too empty to drink and go shopping with my co-workers after work, and it's quite interesting."
The girl's tired face suddenly showed a look of disgust.
"It's too empty...... Those people can't get down to business! Mountain Lord, don't learn from them! I've seen too many wasted people who are addicted to Qinglu and picture scrolls! ”
Wang Luodun felt interesting, Fang Qingqing, Zhao Jinxi and others, although they are not high-end talents, but they have a good work attitude and excellent business level, why are they too vain?
Of course, compared with Shi Yue, who works overtime day and night, they are indeed a bit wasted, but the reality is that waste people can have spare money to draw cards in the picture scroll, but the model girl is overwhelmed by debt.
However, Wang Luo didn't care about Shi Yue's discriminatory nature, but asked instead: "You don't have a good face, is it because your work is not going well?" ”
Shi Yue smiled reluctantly, cheered up and said: "Fortunately, the work is still the same as usual, but after a busy day, I found that the money I earned was not enough to cover the floating interest, so I was inevitably discouraged......"
Wang Luoqi said: "The interest has changed again?" Can this thing be said to change? ”
Shi Yue sighed: "So now I hope that the most profitable business is to run a money bank." ”
Wang Luo thought for a moment and took out a few drops of cool condensed spirit leaves from his fingertips.
"I earned three hundred spirit leaves from my part-time job today, you can use them."
Shi Yue was stunned for a moment, revealing a smile that was a little moved, a little ashamed, and a little aggrieved.
"Lord of the Mountain, I really don't know what to say...... Anyway, thank you. This is the first time I've had a windfall in years. ”
Wang Luo couldn't help but be surprised: "The first time you got a windfall? You don't usually pick up money when you go out, don't you? ”
Shi Yue's expression was even more aggrieved: "I only lost money and was picked up by others...... Can the mountain lord pick up money when he goes out? ”
Wang Luo said: "All day today, I saw a total of 347 pieces of lost spirit leaves, 17 pieces of fragmented jewelry, and a number of other miscellaneous items on Shijie Road. ”
Shi Yue was dumbfounded: "There is still such a thing!?" ”
Wang Luo said: "My luck has always been like this, but my senior sister taught me not to leave a trail and not to enter the casino, so strictly speaking, I didn't have any windfalls." ”
"The quality of the mountain lord is outstanding, and I admire it."
"But also strictly speaking, the luck of the Shi family has always been good, if not, it is impossible for a family to serve Lingshan for nearly 10,000 years, and there is never a shortage of wealthy families who want to compete with your Shi family for the position of the mountain protection family."
Shi Yue could only smile bitterly: "It seems that I have embarrassed the family." ”
"Not really." Wang Luo said, summoned the Flying Ascension Record, and turned to the page of the outer mountain gate, "Look, this is your personal information, and the luck in the attribute is ......."
Without waiting for Wang Luo to finish speaking, Shi Yue jumped on the spot: "What is this?!" How do you have my message!? ”
"I am the Lord of Lingshan Mountain, of course I should have the information of the personnel of the Outer Mountain Gate."
"Then you can't even mark the measurements, right!?" The girl was flushed and angry at this time, but interestingly, her loyalty did not diminish in the slightest.
Wang Luo patiently explained: "The attribute display is based on the needs of readers, what you want to see, what will be displayed above, I haven't seen these three numbers before." ”
Shi Yue was stunned for a while, and was about to flee on the spot.
Wang Luo didn't stop him, but said: "In my opinion, although your luck is not excellent, it is worthy of the name of the Mountain Protection Family. Here assuming that the average luck of ordinary people is 10, and your luck is 18, it is already a level that will not lose when buying lottery tickets every day. ”
“…… If I really had such good luck, how could I be reduced to tens of millions of debts!? ”
Wang Luo was also curious, yes, what's going on?
With Shi Yue's luck, he may not be able to stop the general trend of his family's downfall, or he may not be able to stop his father from becoming a bad gambler, but why is it so miserable that he can't earn interest for a day of part-time work, and he is still discussed by the neighborhood as bad luck?
However, before the two of them could discuss and understand, they heard Zhao Xiuwen's cheerful and enthusiastic voice coming from the courtyard.
"Brother Wang and Sister Yue are back? It's time for my supper to get ready, so hurry up and try it! ”
Crossing the door of the inner courtyard, I saw Zhao Xiuwen setting up a grill under the housekeeper's tree, with dozens of skewers more than half a meter long, marinated meat skewers in advance, and two large barrels of rice wine.
Wang Luoqi said: "I thought you were back to study." ”
Zhao Xiuwen said with a smile: "I asked my girlfriend to send me a batch of old books, and she took the opportunity to send me the barbecue at a discounted price in the canteen, and said that I can't eat it alone, so it's best to share it with the landlord and neighbors to have a good relationship." ”
Shi Yue sighed with emotion: "You really found a mother's girlfriend, and Zhou Lu took care of you so well." ”
Zhao Xiuwen smiled and said, "So after supper, I'm going to study all night, and at the end of the year, I have to meet Lulu in the academy no matter what!" Can't let her wait too long in the academy alone! ”
Shi Yue said, "You must be able to...... Hey, Sister Fan Li is back? ”
As she spoke, she turned her eyes to the west wing, only to see that the lights were on in the room, and the shadow of a woman was faintly reflected on the window paper, with a slender and gentle posture.
Zhao Xiuwen said: "Yes, not long after I came back, it is said that I can finally take a long vacation." It's a pity that she also took private orders during the vacation, and I didn't come when I invited her to eat skewers. ”
Shi Yue shook her head and said, "She was already a little socially afraid...... Hey, Uncle Qin hasn't come back yet? ”
"No, it stands to reason that I was on the night shift yesterday, and it's time to come back and rest today...... But it's not uncommon for their factory to work overtime temporarily. ”
Shi Yue sighed: "Every time I feel that my work is hard, thinking about Sister Fan Li and Uncle Qin, I feel much better. ”
Zhao Xiuwen put the meat skewers on the grill and asked, "Your criteria for recruiting tenants won't be a miserable word, right?" ”
Shi Yue said: "If it's not miserable enough, how can you be willing to rent my house?" Someone in the neighborhood should have warned you that my landlord has always been unlucky and unlucky. ”
Zhao Xiuwen laughed and said: "How can there be such a thing, thanks to you, I can continue to accompany Zhou Lu to practice in Rongcheng and prepare for the academy." And if it is really unlucky, how can you encounter such a strange thing as the resurrection of the mountain lord of Lingshan? ”
As he spoke, Zhao Xiuwen took the initiative to hand Wang Luo a skewer of lamb leg meat that was grilled just right.
"Come and try it, Zhou Lu's favorite practice."
The meat is soft and tender, and there is a lingering spiritual charm, which is obviously not an ordinary thing, but a meat sheep with "cultivation". Wang Luo bit down on a piece, only to feel that his lips and teeth were fragrant, and the true yuan in his body was also faintly agitated, which was quite beneficial.
Zhao Xiuwen said with a smile: "The canteen of Rongcheng Academy is still trustworthy. In the entire Rongcheng, in addition to the top restaurants and restaurants, the canteens of the Rongcheng Academy have the best supply. This kind of meat skewer, Lao Hong has been looking forward to it for a long time. ”
Shi Yue said: "So at the end of the year, you have to be admitted no matter what, don't let Zhou Lu wait too long." ”
"Haha, definitely, let her be alone in the academy, I don't feel at ease, there are so many young talents over there......" Speaking of this, Zhao Xiuwen was also apprehensive, "Her popularity in the academy is high." ”
Wang Luo curiously asked about the story of him and his girlfriend Zhou Lu.
The line of the story is very simple: Zhao Xiuwen and Zhou Lu were both born in ordinary families in Nanxiang, but they were diligent and studious since childhood, and they were talented.
There are a number of higher academies in Rongcheng, but the most famous is undoubtedly the "Rongcheng Academy", when the two came to Rongcheng, it coincided with the annual admissions examination of the academy, Zhou Lu was lucky to pass, and Zhao Xiuwen fell to Sun Shan by a slight margin.
After that, Zhou Lu entered the academy for further study. And Zhao Xiuwen was not discouraged by a temporary failure, worked and studied, and only waited for a comeback in the coming year.
"However, the academy is really difficult to get into, especially related to the popular Great Law." Zhao Xiuwen tore the meat skewers while drinking rice wine, and began to speak the truth while being hearty, "If you change to other majors, such as the Five Elements, Condensation, etc., I will have eight or nine points in the exam now, but the law is really not learned by people, I did a set of mock papers in the morning, and it was only 43 points......"
Wang Luo asked curiously: "What does the law mean?" Is it arithmetic? ”
Zhao Xiuwen explained: "The scientific name is the law of reason, and it is called the three major majors of the great law together with the tuning and harmonic law, and specializes in the theoretical calculation of the great law. How can I say it, Lord of the Mountain, you should know that in modern society, everything is honored by the Great Law. However, the great law is not static, but requires manpower to constantly adjust, and how to adjust it needs to be calculated by a special person. For example, the night snack law launched by Rongcheng some time ago was determined to be implemented after the lawyer and the Department of Industry and Commerce jointly deduced it. ”
Shi Yue simplified: "To put it simply, it is the official who is responsible for drafting the decree. After graduating, most of the students of Rongcheng College of Liyu Hall work in law firms in various places, doing top-level design and policy research for lawyers, and the remuneration is quite good. ”
Wang Luo pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What about the lawyer?" ”
Zhao Xiuwen said: "That's the heavenly man." Legal calculation is only responsible for providing the plan, and the specific implementation depends on the lawyer, and people think that your plan is not good, then the plan you calculated for three days and three nights is just waste paper, not to mention that most of the lawyers' arithmetic skills are not bad...... However, for ordinary children like us, it is already a dream to be able to enter the law department, and the law is really unaffordable. ”
Wang Luo was curious: "Why?" Do you still have requirements for your background? ”
"There are no requirements on the bright side, but nearly ninety percent of the students in the tuning department of Rongcheng Academy are from wealthy families, and most of the rest have wealthy investments, and the objective reality is in front of them." Zhao Xiuwen sighed, "To become a lawyer, the hidden threshold is to condense a high-grade golden pill before graduating from the academy." This is really difficult for the children of ordinary people. ”
Wang Luo asked, "Top-grade Jindan?" Does it mean Rongyuan Dan, Extreme Frost Pill or the like? ”
Zhao Xiuwen smiled: "If I hadn't reviewed the ancient history by surprise some time ago, I wouldn't have recognized the names you said...... The modern cultivation standards are not as strict as in ancient times, and if you can achieve flawless Cheng Dan and self-generated true yuan, you are already a top-grade golden pill. In the old era, it may only belong to the passing line of Jindan. But at that time, to condense a passing level of Jindan, it often took hundreds of years, and it required all kinds of natural treasures. And now the window period left for a person is less than ten years, if you don't marry Jindan before the age of thirty, you can basically say goodbye to Jindan, and without the resources of a wealthy family, how easy is it to want Ningdan? ”
Shi Yue also sighed: "In the final analysis, it's still a money word, and there is no money to cultivate any immortals!" ”
Zhao Xiuwen also sighed: "Yes, Sister Yue, with your talent, you could have gone to Rongcheng Academy......
Shi Yue restrained his expression, raised his wine glass and interrupted the other party's exclamation: "I don't need to mention my affairs, I am already satisfied with the successful graduation of the Mongolian Academy and the successful foundation building." ”
Wang Luo asked, "So you were forced to suspend your practice?" ”
Shi Yue was helpless: "If you can make your cultivation go further, who would be willing to stop before the threshold of Ning Dan?" Even if you go out to work for others, the salary of the Jindan period can be a few percent higher. But now that I'm in debt, where can I have the money to pay for my tuition? ”
Zhao Xiuwen said a little nervously: "Sister Yue, please rest assured, I will definitely pay the rent on time!" ”
"Don't worry, I won't raise yours."
The two then touched a glass and smiled bitterly.
Wang Luo silently ate the skewers, and began to think about the problem of this money in his heart.
In fact, in the classical era, money was also the first place in the practice of the four elements of wealth. It's just that in the classical era, Lingshan was rich in the world, and even the outer mountain gate rarely worried about money. Those cultivators who are struggling on the verge of survival have to worry about a word of money almost every day. Now it's just the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, and it's the turn of the Lingshan people to worry about money.
Even if he didn't consider the predicament of Shi Yue and Zhao Xiuwen, or the open-ended tasks that Fei Shenglu opened for him, as far as his own cultivation needs were concerned, money was also necessary, and the demand was probably far more than that of poor people like Shi Yue and Zhao Xiuwen.
Thinking of this, Wang Luo decided to go to Qingping Si Xiaobailou early tomorrow morning to urge him to apply for an ID card, get his legal identity as soon as possible, and then go to find an errand with more money and less things to do.
——
A long time ago, Lu Zhiyao once said something to Wang Luo.
The meals of happy people are always short, and the meals of unfortunate people are often long.
At that time, this sentence was criticized by other Lingshan people as bullshit. However, now it seems that I have to admire Lu Zhiyao's foresight.
The supper stall under the butler's tree is particularly long-lasting.
said that they would study all night and fight the college candidates at the end of the year; said that he would have a good night's rest, so that he could work seven more jobs in the next seven years, and the two of them skewered rice wine with bitter water chatted until the sky was bright. Both of them have endless bitterness in their hearts, and when they meet bitter friends, they can't finish talking.
It wasn't until they couldn't even stand the housekeeper's tree and began to shake the branches and leaves to urge, that they finally went back to their respective houses without getting enough of it, and soon fell asleep.
As the lord of Lingshan Mountain, Wang Luo took care of the mess, including putting away the grill, cleaning the dishes and chopsticks, and dumping the garbage.
After finishing all this, he was about to go out to urge the planting of the building wood, but he heard a quick knock on the door outside.
"Shi Yue is not here, Shi Yue is not here!"
Looking back at the north room, where the sound of gentle sleep was faintly heard, Wang Luo stepped out of the hospital and opened the door of the jujube red outer courtyard.
A tall patrolman in Tsing Yi stood outside the door.
He looked to be forty or fifty years old, unkempt, his uniform had faded from washing, his chest was partially oil-stained, and his stubble was still stained with tofu brain soup.
It's quite a down-to-earth person.
"Hello, Shi Yue is not here, you can find me if you have something."
Hearing this, Tsing Yi was stunned, he lifted the crooked soft hat, and looked down at the record in Tsing Yi's manual.
"Strange, shows her at home...... Who are you? Who is Shi Yue? ”
"I'm Wang Luo, what is the relationship with Shi Yue......" Wang Luo thought about it for a while and found that this was really an interesting question.
What is the relationship between him and Shi Yue? Landlords vs. tenants? Mountain owners and mountain guards?
After a moment, Wang Luo concluded.
"You can be her father."
