Chapter 18 Falling Grass Show Talent

In addition to Li You, there are three other people, these three people are a white-faced middle-aged man in a shirt and two young men who stood on his left and right when Li Hu blocked the road before.

Li Hu introduced Zhu Shencone, the two young men were both miners, and they were also the brothers who first followed Li Hu to kill the steward.

The one with the long face is called Lu Yisheng, and the taller one is called Hu Lin, both of whom are Li Hu's brothers who worshipped in the mine.

As for the origin of the white-faced middle-aged man in a shirt, Zhu Shencone was a little surprised, this middle-aged man is called Zhang Xijun, and he is actually a showman.

Xiucai is a reader, but not an ordinary reader.

According to the regulations of the Ming Imperial Examination, only those who have passed the county examination and the government examination can be called children. And only after becoming a child is eligible to participate in the hospital examination, once the hospital examination is passed, it is a show.

Don't think that it is easy to take the test, ordinary people in later generations think that it is easy to take the test, even if it is not difficult to be a jinshi among the people.

But the actual show is not so easy to get into, to become a show you have to become a child first, and to become a child must first pass the county exam and the government exam, these two levels can directly brush most of the readers, some people have read a lifetime of books that are an old boy, until the hair is gray can not be admitted to the show.

In other words, just to be a child, you have to pass the county exam first, and then you can be eligible to take the city exam. The exams at the county and city levels cannot be said to be one in a hundred miles across the single-plank bridge, so it is not easy to become a child, let alone take the city-wide examination to become an excellent student.

This Zhang Xijun is actually a showman, but how could a showman follow Li Hu up the mountain and fall into the grass, this can't help but make Zhu Shencone feel strange.

Subconsciously, Zhu Shencone couldn't help but look at Zhang Xijun twice, Zhang Xijun avoided Zhu Shencone's gaze a little unnaturally, and subconsciously lowered his head, as if he was a little unspeakable about his origin and current situation.

Li Hu didn't care about this, and chatted with great interest about the competition with Wang Jinwu just now.

Entering the hall and sitting on the side with Zhu Shencone, Wang Jinwu's ass has always been a little unable to sit still, and he has no interest in what he just said, his eyes are dripping and looking around, looking curious.

It wasn't until Li Hu talked about the martial arts competition that Wang Jinwu became interested and couldn't help but interject.

In other words, although Wang Jinwu won, what is the actual situation, Wang Jinwu, as a party, knows very well in his heart that if it weren't for the shot fired by Zhu Shenchong, the situation of losing this competition would be even greater.

Wang Jinwu admires Li Hu's ability very much, and Wang Jinwu, a stupid boy, is also a straight-hearted guy, after subduing Li Hu, when Li Hu was not afraid of himself but pleaded for his brother, he had a good impression of Li Hu in his heart.

The two can be said to be not fighting or making a deal, and immediately chatted enthusiastically, the more they chatted, the more energetic they became, and they also made a few on-site comparisons when they talked about the rise.

What Wang Jinwu lacks now is only battlefield experience, but Li Hu has an advantage in this regard, and after the conversation, he pointed out Wang Jinwu one or two, which made Wang Jinwu even more happy.

was chatting happily, Wang Chuer came to report, saying that the camp had been set up, and Zhu Shencone asked Wang Chuer to arrange for the brothers to make a fire and cook, and rest as usual after use. While speaking, Zhu Shencone did not shy away from Li Hu and others, and ordered it very angrily, which made Li Hu and others admire Zhu Shencone even more.

However, Li Hu and the others didn't find out, and while Zhu Shencone and Wang Chuer explained, they quietly glanced at Li Hu and the others behind their backs, and Wang Chuer immediately understood.

The heart of guarding against others is indispensable, and on other people's territory, even if Zhu Shencone is sure, some preparations must be made. After all, everyone has only known each other for less than half a day, Zhu Shencone is not a fledgling stupid boy, no matter how atmospheric he is on the surface, he can't be unguarded, the rivers and lakes are sinister, although it is important to treat people with sincerity, but the safety of his own life is more important!

That night, Zhu Shencone didn't go to the camp to rest, but lived directly in the temple and chatted with Li Hu and others for a long time.

Zhu Shencone has an extraordinary bearing and is well-informed, especially they don't have the slightest contempt for these border soldiers and miners, plus the previous events, the more Li Hu talks about it, the more he admires Zhu Shencone.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't feel worthy of his identity, Li Hu would even want to kowtow to Zhu Shencone for burning yellow paper, even if it wasn't like this, Li Hu and others also admired Zhu Shencone, and he was a sixth master.

It's a pity that there is no wine in the mountains, otherwise Li Hu's temper would have to give Zhu Shencone a few glasses.

Zhu Shencone didn't care about this, it was the same with inferior tea instead of wine, and said with a smile that there would be opportunities after settling down, and he was quite interested in Li Hu's experience at the border pass, and took the opportunity to ask Li Hu a lot of past events at the border pass, which naturally included the situation of the Mongols in the north.

Li Hu is an upright person, as long as Zhu Shencone asks, he knows everything and says everything, and after chatting all night, Zhu Shencone knows a lot about the situation in the north, which is a surprise for Zhu Shencone.

In addition, Zhu Shencone also gave Li Hu and others some pointers, telling Li Hu how to gain a foothold in Sheep's Head Mountain.

Since Li Hu and the others are here to fall into the grass, then they need to make long-term plans. The terrain of Sheep's Head Mountain is dangerous, and it is not far from Gaoping.

If you want to talk about Gaoping, it is famous, and Gaoping was also called Changping in ancient times, which was the Changping of the battle of Qin, Zhao and Changping during the Warring States Period.

This place can be described as a place where soldiers must fight, Sheep's Head Mountain is just a few dozen miles north of Gaoping, from top to bottom to the south looking down on Gaoping.

Li Hu and the others found a good place in Sheep's Head Mountain, but it was not so easy to stay for a long time.

Zhu Shencone promised Li Hu that on their way back in a few days, they would pass through Yangtou Mountain again, first, to bring Li Hu and them some food, and secondly, to bring some farm tools and seeds.

In the future, Li Hu and others can open up their own land on the mountain in Yangtou Mountain, even if it is very difficult to cultivate in the mountain, but at least they can barely maintain it.

In addition, for passing merchants, Li Hu and others can also collect some "road money", but Zhu Shencone also reminded that the merchants who go to Yangtou Mountain are all small merchants, and they must not do everything they can.

It would be great if you could build a few more thatched huts in the mountain road, get a resting place to supply some tea or something, so that the other party gave the money to buy the road, but the service was also happy, and it was not a stable income in the future.

Li Hu and the others listened to Zhu Shencone's suggestion, their eyes suddenly lit up, they didn't expect that the money for buying the road could be collected like this, if according to Zhu Shencone said, this operation is not only much less risky, but also can be tricky for a long time, for a while, several people nodded in agreement, happily discussed, the more they chatted, the more they felt that this matter had the possibility of operation.

Zhang Xijun, who had been sitting and didn't speak much, raised his eyes to look at Zhu Shencone quite intentionally at this time, but he immediately lowered his head again, and under the dim firelight, he couldn't see his expression clearly, let alone what he was thinking.

After chatting late at night, seeing that it was getting late, Zhu Shencone was about to rest, and they had to hurry tomorrow.

Although they didn't sleep with Li Hu and the others that night, it was about the same, and several people fell asleep in the main hall, with hay under their bodies and a jacket covered by their clothes, and Zhu Shencong, who was lying down, put his right hand under the jacket covering his body, and put his hand into his arms and held a thing tightly, which was the iron spear head hidden in his arms.

Closing his eyes, Zhu Shencone didn't fall asleep immediately, just pretended to be asleep, and after a long time, the snoring sound of Li Hu and others sounded on the side, and the snoring sound was quite rhythmic, Zhu Shencone gradually relaxed, and after a while, he fell asleep unconsciously.

There was no dream all night, and when the sky was bright, Zhu Shencone woke up.

When he opened his eyes, he looked left and right for the first time, Wang Jinwu on his left was still asleep, this kid was not solid when he was asleep, and he was still smashing his mouth in his dream, as if he was dreaming of something good and dreaming of something good.

To his right, Li Hu was gone, but his son and the other three had not woken up.

Getting up and tidying up a little, Zhu Shencone walked out of the main hall.

When he got outside, he saw that Li Hu and a few people were already busy outside the hospital, and when he heard the movement, Li Hu looked up and saw Zhu Shencone coming out, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Sixth master, did you sleep well last night?"

"How are you unstable with a tiger?" Zhu Shencone said with a smile, which made Li Hu grin and look very happy.

"...... this?" Glancing at the busy crowd, Zhu Shencone asked.

Li Hu told Zhu Shencone that the residence must be settled as soon as possible these days, otherwise it will not be possible to live in a cold place. And after listening to Zhu Shencone's guidance yesterday, Li Hu felt that it was very reasonable, and planned to hurry up and arrange these things, and then follow Zhu Shencone's instructions.

Nodding, Zhu Shencone didn't say anything, and said to Li Hu that he would go to the guy's side to have a look. Li Hu said that it was okay, he was busy and would not follow, Zhu Shencone said politely, and went straight to the place where Wang Chuer and others camped yesterday, and when they arrived there, Wang Chuer and they had already gotten up and were packing their things.

asked about the situation, and as Zhu Shencone imagined, yesterday was safe, and Zhu Shencone's heart was completely relaxed. Then, after packing up his things, Wang Jinwu also came over, and everyone had a simple breakfast together, and then said goodbye to Li Hu and others.

Li Hu knew that Zhu Shencone and they were in a hurry, so he didn't stay long.

But Li Hu still insisted on personally taking a few brothers to give Zhu Shencone a ride, and Zhu Shencone did not refuse, so he sent them to the path out of Sheep's Head Mountain.

Before leaving, Zhu Shencone took Li Hu's hand and said a few words, promising that he would bring things back in a few days, and let Li Hu wait patiently on the mountain.
