Chapter 22: The Little Beggar

When Zhang Ran returned to the inn, it was already dawn, and when he returned to the room, he didn't see Zhang Pestle, Zhang Pestle went out again, and left him a note, saying that he should not miss tonight's competition.

Zhang Ran yawned, a little sleepy, he didn't sleep for two days and two nights, Zhang Ran planned to get a good night's sleep.

After entering Dongwang Village, Zhang Ran had already asked clearly, today is the third day of the Poverty Festival, which means that Zhang Ran stayed in the ancient tomb all day.

When he was in the tomb, the light was dim, and he didn't feel the passage of time at all, he didn't expect time to pass so quickly.

Put the knife on his waist and the gun behind his back on the table, and then lie down on the bed and fall asleep.

Today is the last day of the Poor Festival, a lot of warriors came to Dongwang Village, all of them came to get rewards, which made Dongwang Village more lively, of course, there were more troubles, so you can see patrolling escorts everywhere in Dongwang Village, as long as you encounter trouble, you will be arrested.

The guards of Dongwang Village are not much stronger than the guards of Hulu Village, and the guards of Dongwang Village are all at the level of bone refining, but the guards alone cannot control the field, so the village chief of Dongwang Village came out of the town, because the village chief is a martial artist at the level of blood refining.

In a restaurant, Zhang Pestle was in trouble at this time, and two warriors walked towards Zhang Pestle with a sinister smile.

Zhang Pestle showed a look of anger, he just saw that these two warriors were teasing the girl who was singing, and he was doing something to the girl, so he spoke up, but the two warriors did not flirt with the girl, but came to him for trouble.

"Don't you like to be nosy? Then let you taste the consequences of being nosy. One of the two warriors said.

As he spoke, a fist hit Zhang Pestle's face, directly sending Zhang Pestle flying two meters away, and his cheeks were slightly swollen.

Before Zhang Pestle could get up, his foot stepped on Zhang Pestle's face, and Zhang Pestle struggled to get up, but his foot suppressed him fiercely, and he couldn't get up.

"The escort is here, come and see, there must be something good going on."

There was a shout from outside the restaurant.

The warrior who stepped on the face of the pestle immediately took his foot away and said, "Let's go." The two warriors left the restaurant in a hurry.

After a while, a little beggar of fifteen or sixteen years old entered the restaurant, pulled up Zhang Pestle, who had not yet risen, and said, "Follow me." The two left the restaurant.

The little beggar pulled Zhang Pestle to a corner of the wall where no one was around, and the little beggar said: "Fortunately, we escaped, otherwise those two warriors would have come back to their senses, and we would have been miserable then." ”

Zhang Pestle said: "Isn't the escort team coming?" Then they will help me deal with those two warriors. ”

The little beggar grinned and said, "The escort team didn't come at all, I lied to them." ”

Zhang Pestle understood as soon as he heard it, and said gratefully: "Thank you." ”

The little beggar said, "You're welcome, if you hadn't helped me before, I wouldn't have helped you now." ”

Zhang Pestle said questioningly: "When will I help you." "Zhang Pestle doesn't remember helping the little beggar, is it that he has helped too many people and doesn't remember.

The little beggar said: "Yesterday my mother was sick, and I wanted to send my mother to the doctor, but I was too young to move, so I could only ask the donkey cart to pull my mother over, but I had no money on me, and then I went to the street to ask for help, and begged many people to help me, only to you, and you gave me two taels of silver, so that I had to rent a donkey cart and pull my mother to the doctor." ”

As soon as the little beggar said this, Zhang Pestle remembered that when he was shopping and playing yesterday, a little girl wanted to borrow some money to let her mother go to the doctor, and Zhang Pestle saw that he was pitiful, so he gave two taels of silver, Zhang Pestle didn't take this matter seriously, and then continued to shop, and then forgot about it, and didn't think of reciprocating at all.

"Is your mother alright?" Zhang Pestle said: "No, you have money to rent a donkey cart to pull your mother, but you don't have the money to treat your mother, how can you let the doctor save your mother." ”

"My mother is fine." The little beggar said, "Although I don't have any money, my mother used to keep some money in the hospital, so that she could use the money she saved to treat her. ”

"Oh, I see." Zhang Pestle knew that some big medical centers had such a way of seeing and buying medicine, and then Zhang Pestle asked again: "No, you are a little girl, why have you become a little beggar now." ”

The little beggar said: "My mother said that I am a girl and that I should protect myself when I go out alone, so I thought of using the little beggar every time I came out. ”

Zhang Pestle said: "I know why you looked like a little girl when you borrowed money last time, and I must have been not far from your house at that time." ”

"Uh-huh." The little beggar said.

Then Zhang Pestle and the little beggar talked, and after a while, they talked about the Poor Festival, and then talked about the competition of the strong ones to be selected for the Poor Festival, and the little beggar knew that Zhang Pestle was bringing his nephew to participate in the competition, of course, Zhang Pestle said that he was not good enough to play, and his nephew forced his nephew to play.

And Zhang Pestle also knew the name of the little beggar, named Su Yue, this name was given by her mother, her father died when she was very young, and her mother was fortunate to pull her up.

While the two were talking, they came to the location of Dabi, who selected the strong man, and at this time there were many people gathered here, most of them were warriors, and a few were villagers.

There is a lake in this place, called Chunguang Lake, at a glance, you can't see the edge of the lake, at this time there are two five-meter-high willow carts and grass boats, one left and one right parked on the shore.

The willow car is made by tying the branches and leaves of the willow tree.

Straw boats are made of bales of grass.

It is very refined, it must have taken a lot of effort to make it, it is very spectacular, and it gives people a feeling that they have never felt before.

In front of the willow cart and the straw boat is a wooden ring, which is supposed to have been built by the villagers of Dongwang village.

Zhang Pestle found a conspicuous position, and Zhang Ran could see him when he arrived. The little beggar followed Zhang Pestle.

When Zhang Pestle and the little beggar came, it was almost dark, and after waiting for a long time, Zhang Ran arrived, and found Zhang Pestle, and slept throughout the day, Zhang Ran's spirit was very good, not like before.

Zhang Pestle introduced the little beggar to Zhang Ran, and told Zhang Ran what happened before, hoping that after Zhang Ran met the two warriors, he would teach the two warriors a good lesson, Zhang Ran expressed his gratitude to the little beggar, if there was no little beggar, Zhang Pestle would be miserable, and then Zhang Ran said that he would meet the two warriors in the future, and give Zhang Pestle a good breath.

It's just that the little beggar was a little hesitant when he saw Zhang Ran, because Zhang Ran was only seven or eight years old, younger than her, Zhang Pestle wanted Zhang Ran to avenge him, how could it give her a sense of disobedience, it was really a middle-aged man who wanted a child to help him get angry, how to say it, I can only say that this middle-aged man is too unproductive, and Zhang Pestle didn't feel these at all, in his heart Zhang Ran is stronger than him, he asked Zhang Ran to help him, it's nothing.

There are also little beggars who know that Zhang Ran is going to try, and they are even more surprised, does such a young child have such a big force, how do you look at it, although the little beggar is not obvious on the surface, but Zhang Pestle still sees it, saying that Zhang Ran is a genius who practices martial arts, don't look at his young age, he is much stronger than himself.

Looking at Zhang Pestle's boasting for a while, the little beggar still didn't believe it, and finally Zhang Pestle said that she believed it when she saw Zhang Ran playing.

"Why do you have a gun on your back?" Zhang Zhuren didn't ask until now.

"In the past two days, I practiced a kind of marksmanship, and I got this gun again, so I took this silver gun with me." Zhang Ran said.

"It turns out that you have been learning to shoot in the past two days, have you worshipped someone as your teacher?" Zhang Pestle knows Zhang Ran's talent, and it is not strange to learn one marksmanship in two days, and it is not strange for him to learn ten even if he learns ten, it is really Zhang Ran's talent is too good.

"No, I bought a book of marksmanship and this silver gun, for which I spent all my money." Zhang Ran said pitifully.

Zhang Pestle didn't doubt it when he heard Zhang Ran's words, because Zhang Ran was very profitable in Hulu Village, even much richer than himself, and there was nothing to buy a marksmanship cheats, even if the silver gun Zhang Pestle thought it was made of iron, but the appearance was coated with silver, not made of silver, if it was made of silver, how much would it cost.

In fact, this silver spear is made of silver, and it is also an extraordinary weapon, and its value is not enough to buy half a silver spear when the entire gourd village is sold.

"By the way, I also want to tell you, don't look at the little beggar like this, but she is a beautiful little girl, do you want to introduce it to your daughter-in-law." Zhang Pestle whispered in Zhang Ran's ear.

Zhang Ran rolled his eyes when he heard it, how old is he now, only seven years old, he wants a daughter-in-law at such a young age, dreaming, even if he wants to, but his body does not allow it, besides, this little beggar is much older than him, and when he grows up, this little beggar is old.

The little beggar heard some of it, too, and his cheeks turned red, like a red apple.

At this moment, a noisy sound came from a distance, and Zhang Pestle, Zhang Ran, and the little beggar stopped talking and looked in the direction where the noise came from.

I saw a long dragon of torches coming here, led by the village chief of Dongwang Village, and next to the village chief, there were two people wearing brocade clothes, these two people in brocade clothes were not ordinary people at first glance, and they were arrogant, at least not what Dongwang Village could raise.

Behind the three of them were the big men of Dongwang Village, and behind these big men were more than two dozen escort personnel.

They walked to the prepared seats and sat down, surrounded by two dozen convoy personnel.

"Today, two distinguished guests came to Dongwang Village, and the two distinguished guests also served as the judgment of God's choice." The village chief did not sit down, but said, "I will introduce you to two distinguished guests. ”

"The two distinguished guests are from Qiantang County, and the one on my left is the manager of the Rice Grain Chamber of Commerce, and the manager of Luo Enterprise; The one on my right is a disciple of the Five Tigers Martial Arts, Guan Qing Martial Artist. The village chief said.

Hearing the origin of these two people, they all talked about it.

"Rice Chamber of Commerce, this is a big chamber of commerce in Qiantang County, I am really fortunate to see it." This is what the villagers said.

"The Five Tiger Martial Arts Hall, this is one of the three major martial arts halls in Qiantang County, I heard that the Five Tiger Broken Door Knife in his door is extraordinarily powerful." This is what the warrior said.

Zhang Ran asked Zhang Pestle and said, "What are the Rice Grain Chamber of Commerce and the Five Tigers Martial Arts Hall." Zhang Pestle must know that he has stayed in Qiantang County, so Zhang Ran hopes that Zhang Pestle will solve his doubts.

"As they said, the Rice Chamber of Commerce is a big chamber of commerce in Qiantang County, but they are mainly engaged in grain, and their grain depot is not full, and it is said that half of the people in Qiantang County are buying their grain to eat." 张杵 says:

"The Five Tigers Martial Arts Hall will know by listening to the name, it is to teach martial arts, like the martial arts hall, as long as you have money, you can enter it to learn martial arts, but except for the rich, other people will not go to the martial arts hall to learn martial arts, like those noble children are going to those gate schools to learn martial arts, and they don't look down on the martial arts of the martial arts hall."

Hearing what Zhang Pestle said, Zhang Ran nodded as if he didn't understand, indicating that he understood a little.

"After you arrive in Qiantang County, it's best not to provoke forces like the Rice Grain Chamber of Commerce and the Five Tigers Martial Arts Pavilion." Zhang said.

"I can understand the Five Tiger Martial Arts Pavilion, why can't the Rice Grain Chamber of Commerce provoke such a thing." Zhang Ran said innocently.

"Don't think it's a chamber of commerce, the rice grain chamber of commerce is full of ordinary people, there are a lot of martial artists in it, and even compared with the Five Tiger Martial Arts Pavilion, it is much stronger than the Five Tiger Martial Arts Pavilion, after all, they have money in their hands and can recruit many powerful martial artists." Zhang said.
