It had just snowed yesterday and the courtyard had been cleaned.

And on the streets, there is still a thin layer of snow.

There are no pedestrians in sight on the side of the road.

Only outside the courtyard of the large family, there were beggars huddled together shivering.

The wild dogs, which used to run around everywhere, did not know where to nest at this time, trying to conserve heat to survive the cold winter.

Occasionally, corpses fell to the ground covered in snow.

There are mad dogs, and there are poor people who freeze to death.

There was a faint smell in the air.

Walking through the stone alley, following the steps of Senior Brother Zhang, turning right through a street, and then passing through a residential area, the two of them came to a large bronze gate.

There are some fireworks here, and people come in and out from time to time.

On the wall are crookedly carved two large characters, Inner City.

Also, the outer city is inhabited by poor people like him, and only the large families and the inner city with scattered forces can purchase the medicinal materials and other uses they need.

After paying the entrance fee, the guards raised their hands to let them in.

The inner city is naturally much more prosperous than the outer city.

The shouting and shouting are endless.

Senior Brother Zhang turned to the door of a medicinal herb shop.

The shopkeeper greeted him, and it was directly the same as before.

Then there are butchers, tailors, carpenters, and vegetable markets.

After all the expenses were purchased and told to send them to the backyard, Senior Brother Zhang took Li Xun to an inn.

"Yo! Young Master Zhang is here! Distinguished guests come to the door, and there is a long way to welcome! ”

The guy at the inn saw Senior Brother Zhang, and his face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile.

"Today there is a new batch of Teng snakes, and it is said that there are still two lines of level!"

Senior Brother Zhang Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Three home-cooked dishes, and another two-striped snake soup!"

"And the yellow plum wine in your store, have a pot!"

"Well, two of you upstairs! Inside please! ”

The senior brother pulled Li Xun and sat down by the window.

In a short time, a few hot side dishes were served.

And then there's the snake soup.

Senior Brother Zhang Yi smiled and pushed the snake soup over.

"Senior Brother Li, come and have a taste!"

Li Xun tasted it, and his heart shook.

The snake soup is delicious and fragrant.

The important thing is that he feels that the progress of his skin refining has quietly improved a little.

What's more, the color of the refining fire in the center of the eyebrows has also become slightly darker.

Basically, it can be compared to the progress of his one-day penance!

I'm afraid this is no ordinary snake soup.

Senior Brother Zhang took a sip of wine, put his hand on the table, and knocked unconsciously.

"This Teng snake comes from the wilderness, and only the hunting team of the Qingluan Lu family can catch it."

"But the hunting team travels once a month, and the number of snakes that can be caught is limited, so the price is raised."

Li Xun stopped his chopsticks.

"There are many other exotic beasts like this that are good for physical cultivation, such as the Wild Bull and the Cloud-winged Tiger, but most of them are out of reach of ordinary people."

Senior Brother Zhang Yi was a little embarrassed.

He's from a good background, and he's just good.

There is no way to get this kind of wild beast alone at home, and the flesh and blood of the beast distributed by the Lu family is even less pitiful.

Even if it is him Zhang Yi, the young master of the Zhang family's grain shop, he only has a catty supply of one pound per month.

It is completely insufficient for the needs of physical tempering.

This time, he took Li Xun out to buy because he got news from home.

The Lu family's hunting team has recruited.

The family spent a lot of money to buy him a place, and he was allowed to bring three retinue of miscellaneous servants.

It is to follow the hunting team to clean up the carcasses of alien beasts and do some dirty work.

Li Xun has been refining his body since he started, although his talent is average, he is honest, he usually tempers his body hard, and he does not play a trace of sloppiness.

A disciple from a poor family like this is the most suitable target to woo, and there is a response to bring it over.

Zhang Yi pondered for a moment and opened his mouth: "Senior Brother Li, do you usually take any errands?" My family arranged for me to join the Lu family's hunting team, and I was assigned three miscellaneous places. ”

Li Xun's work of cleaning the house is still once every five days, and in addition to this, there are only some jobs to take care of the house. However, because he had to go back to practice boxing, he basically took on short-term jobs.

But none of this is a big deal in front of the hunting party handymen.

As long as you enter the hunting team, even if it is a miscellaneous servant, there will be a catty of brute meat supply for each hunting trip, and according to the amount of prey this time, there will be another distribution.

Moreover, the handyman only needs to deal with the dead prey in the back, and there is basically no danger.

This is a good errand that all the brothers and sisters want to do.

Could this be his turn?

Li Xun immediately felt that it was a trap.

Senior Brother Zhang Yi saw Li Xun's hesitation.

He's a bold guy himself, and he doesn't plan to go around the corner.

"There is no need for the junior brother to have too many concerns, I just think that the junior brother practices so hard every day and never slacks off, which is very suitable for the senior brother's appetite."

His words were a little unwilling: "Senior brother, I have been stagnant in the bone refining period for half a year. ”

Li Xun is not a stupid person, and after thinking about it, he understood what his senior brother meant.

Every year at the beginning of spring, Master Lao Zhou will re-decide on this year's procurement candidates.

Senior Brother Huang Zhen naturally doesn't care about his outstanding talent, but for someone like him who has been in the business for a few years, it is definitely a fat difference.

What's more, after deciding on the candidate, the master will also release a batch of snake bone pills, which are very beneficial to the tempering of the bone refining period.

Thinking of getting the Snake Bone Pill, you have to let the master take a look.

He needs the support of more people.

People like Li Xun, who have no background but want to temper their fists and feet, are the best targets to woo.

After figuring out the powerful relationship, Li Xun was relieved.

He clasped his hands into fists: "Thank you Senior Brother for your kindness!" Li Xun must only look forward to the senior brother in the future!! ”

Zhang Yi showed a satisfied look.

"Come on, come on, eat fast! This snake soup is the signature dish of Lujia Restaurant! ”

……

The month of wax does not know the year.

This year's winter has been particularly difficult.

Even the three-foot-deep blizzard fell several times.

Li's father and mother have not come back yet, and the last time the news was transmitted was a month ago.

The people who couldn't survive became bandits and cut off the communication of the city.

In the rest of the month, Li Xun helped Senior Brother Zhang Yi do a lot of chores, and began to gain trust step by step.

I often take him with me when I go out.

Under the effect of the restaurant's snake soup, the flame of fire refining has turned pure purple, and there is still a little deficit on the tip.

Soon, you will be able to charge up your energy in no time.

Li Xun took the time to inquire about Zhao Xiaosi's news.

The surrounding gangs all knew that he was Senior Brother Zhang Yi's person, and no one dared not to give face.

"Zhao Xiaosi has already run away! It is said that he has something to do with the Zoroastrianism, and the government is arresting him! ”

And the two streamers who followed Zhao Xiaosi at that time had news.

One had his hand broken and was hacked to death by the enemy on the same day.

The other has been nesting in the wooden house next to the street in the south of the city, and has never come out.

……

"This is it."

The inquirer pointed to a dilapidated wooden house on the right.

Li Xun handed over a string of copper coins.
