Xu Ling has worked hard for the past few days, and he originally thought that he would go back after leaving home in a few days, but now there are more and more things, and he is actually tied up and unable to go home.

In desperation, Xu Ling had no choice but to ask someone to write a letter, and then found the Xiang Family Martial Arts Hall and asked someone to help send the letter home along with some things he bought.

Previously, when he was selling vegetables in the city during the gap between delivering vegetables to Deyuelou, a woman asked him to buy a cart of vegetables and send them to the martial arts hall, and then Xu Ling sent another dish to the martial arts hall, knowing that the martial arts hall was also in the business of bodyguards, so he thought of them.

Xu Ling didn't come to the door empty-handed this time, pulled a cart of cabbage to find the back door of the Xiang family's martial arts hall, and the servant woman who opened the door for him heard him say that he was delivering food to Ma Niangzi, so she went to call her master Ziniang.

After a while, Ma Niangzi said, "I didn't ask someone to deliver the food!" "He walked over from the front.

Seeing Xu Ling pulling the dishes, he suddenly realized: "It turned out to be you, Brother Xu!" ”

Xu Ling laughed and arched his hand: "Ma Niangzi still needs vegetables, if she doesn't need it, I'll take it home." ”

"Hey, I'm worried that there is no food at home, this year another batch of disciples are recruited, there are seven or eight more mouths in the family, and Little Brother Xu came at the right time!"

Ma Niangzi smiled from ear to ear, asked the servant to unload the vegetables, and took Xu Ling to the front to get the money.

The Xiang Family Martial Arts Hall is a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits, with the martial arts hall and the dart bureau in front, the kitchen and miscellaneous room and the place where the disciples live in the middle, and the Xiang family's residence in the back.

When Xu Ling came, he was just in time for the martial artist in front of him to practice, and Ma Niangzi entered the house to get the money, and Xu Ling looked curiously on the side.

There are eighteen kinds of weapons on the weapon piles in the courtyard, the disciples are six or seven years old, the eldest ones are thirty or forty years old, some people stand on the pile, some people fight, some people practice swords, in the winter, they are wearing thin clothes, and their bodies are steaming.

They practiced so engrossedly, Xu Ling was dizzying, and his heart was itching.

I don't know if he can still practice martial arts at his age, even if he goes out to protect himself more!

"Brother Xu, count whether the money is enough!"

Ma Niangzi interrupted Xu Ling's thinking, and he counted the money, "Enough is enough, Sister Ma, I have something I want to ask you." ”

"Haha, you say it!"

"I see that there are still twenty or thirty disciples in the courtyard, do you think I can practice martial arts?"

Ma Niangzi obviously didn't expect Xu Ling to ask about this, and she couldn't stop giggling, "I don't know about this, you have to ask my family leader." ”

Her man is the head of the Xiang family's martial arts hall, and it has been more than ten years since her ancestors took over this martial arts hall.

While the two were talking, a mighty man came over wiping his sweat, and Ma Niangzi hurriedly stopped him: "Master, come over and take a look, see if this future student can practice martial arts!" ”

Xiang Jin frowned and walked over, looking at Xu Ling opening his mouth is subwoofer: "Who is he?" How did you come to the martial arts hall? ”

Without waiting for Ma Niangzi to explain, Xu Ling hurriedly said: "I am here to deliver food to the martial arts hall, named Xu Ling, by the way, I want to ask the dart bureau to help send some things back to my hometown, when Sister Ma gave me money, I was curious, so I watched here, thinking that it was inconvenient for me to go south and north, so I wanted to practice martial arts to protect myself, so I asked a few more words." ”

Xiang Jin listened to him, and his face looked a little better.

"If you want to escort a dart, go to the front, outsiders are not allowed to enter easily," Xiang Jin glared at Ma Niangzi, as if blaming her for acting inappropriately, "You are a businessman, how can you have time to practice martial arts, if you have this kung fu, it is better to ask a martial artist to be a bodyguard, come with me." ”

Compared with the amiable Ma Niangzi, Xiang Jin is serious and difficult to speak. He took Xu Ling to the front dart bureau, asked about the things to be escorted, explained the price, and asked him to find time to deliver them, but he didn't want to talk about it at all.

Xu Ling Xiwu's illusions were shattered, and he sent the letters and things he bought for his family to the dart bureau, just such a little thing, and charged him three taels of silver, the price was high, and he really couldn't stand it on ordinary people.

Xu Ling learned the lesson of being deceived by asking his fellow villagers to bring things, and would rather spend more money than make sure to send the letter home.

What he was going to do was sudden, Gu Zhen must still be at home looking forward to him coming home, and he didn't know if he would be sad when he received the letter.

Xu Ling was in a hurry, and he lacked skills, so he had to do this.

Chai Yanjun has a place to live in Lingbao Town, he has no wife and no children at home, I heard him say that there are three apprentices, two of whom have completed their studies, and only the little apprentice Hetong is with him. The people rescued by Xu Ling had nowhere to settle for the time being, so Chai Yanjun kindly authorized Xu Ling to place them at home.

These people survived, but they still had a lot of problems, such as frostbite and malnutrition, and they needed a few days to recuperate.

He was picking up the living in the city, and the old man he had met in Yizhuang before collected the dead, and when Xu Ling met him again, the two looked at each other happily and smiled.

Xu Ling helped Peng Lao transport the collected corpses to Yizhuang, Peng Lao knew that he had rescued many poor people living on the streets, and sighed again and again: "You are a kind-hearted person, if you save them and don't drag you down, do this kind of good deed to accumulate virtue!" ”

Xu Ling said: "I didn't save them in vain, I plan to transport them to Yazhou in two days to farm for me, it's not that I don't want to reciprocate, compared with you, I'm really ashamed." ”

Peng Lao smiled: "Have you heard the story of Zigong's refusal of gold? If you do good deeds without expecting anything in return, then who will dare to do good deeds in the future? Regardless of your intentions, you just do what you want. ”

Xu Ling stayed in Yizhuang for a long time, and left a small amount of money for Peng Lao when he left, so that Peng Lao could use the money to find some coolies to help him, so as not to freeze and work hard for him to run to the city with an old man.

Leaving Yizhuang, Xu Ling walked around the city, during the day there were occasional rich people in the city to give alms, and now the sun is rising, and there are fewer poor people in the streets.

As soon as Xu Ling returned to Yongchun Hall, he saw a lot of people watching the excitement around Yongchun Hall, and a voice came from inside: "What? How much silver do you say it takes to save someone? ”

Chai Yanjun said arrogantly: "Eight taels, one or two less can't be cured!" ”

"Why don't you grab it! Eight taels save a person, this is not what a pit man is! ”

"Let's let's go, let's go, what's going on here?" Xu Ling squeezed in and asked the person next to him curiously.

Immediately, a well-meaning passer-by explained: "That person's surname is Lin, he is a wealthy businessman, he wants to sell his family's concubine room, the concubine room is strong, and he hit the pillar Mingzhi in the tooth line, and the blood does not stop, so he was taken to Yongchun Hall." ”

The people who live on this street know that Dr. Yongchuntang has superb medical skills, but his heart is a little dark, and it is better not to come to the minor diseases that ordinary people can't die, because they are too expensive.

But if there is really a serious illness that causes death, you must send it to Yongchun Hall, it is expensive, but at least you can live!

After the woman who hit the pillar was sent, Chai Yanjun treated her as soon as possible, but at this time, she had to collect the money, and the rich businessman was not happy, and he broke the woman in his house for seven or eight years.

If he knew that it was so expensive to see a doctor, he might as well not save it!
