After entering the customs, everything has to be much more comfortable, Jiang Ergou and He Huaichun can finally eat authentic Da Chu cuisine again, but such a good day for the two of them did not last too long.

In order to get to know the three-and-a-half-story master in Jiang Ergou's mouth, it can be said that he put everything into it, and along the way, it was all delicious and delicious, serving Jiang Ergou like an uncle.

But although this He Huaichun has a rich family background and comes out with enough silver, no matter how much silver he has, there will always be a day when he will spend it.

Five days after entering the customs, Jiang Ergou and the others had slowly moved away from the border of Liaodong, but the silver on He Huaichun's body was also spent like flowing water.

Neither of them is the kind of person who can go about his life with a careful budget, so he didn't even notice that the money on his body was almost spent.

On the border of Liaodong, except for the large piece of land near the battle line that is not divided into counties, other places are also divided according to the county system, Jiang Ergou and they are now in the closest county to the border - Kill Barbarian County!

And the reason why this county is called this is because seventy percent of the men in this barbarian county are on the border not far away! If the steppenwolf rides through the border, then this barbarian county will be the first to suffer!

So I don't know when it began, the men in this county were proud to enlist in the army and kill barbarians, and after a long time, they got the name of killing barbarian counties...

The early morning sun pierced the clouds and shone on the county town of Killing Man.

Jiang Ergou woke up from the Tianzi box of one of the best inns in the city, pushed open the window and let the sun shine in on his face.

Jiang Ergou narrowed his eyes and was very comfortable, the last time he had such a life in his memory was when he just met Su Ruyu's kid, Ren remembered that time, but our wealthy Su Gongzi led Jiang Ergou, a thing that had never seen the world, to go back to Dream Building!

"He Huaichun! He Huaichun! I got up for breakfast, I didn't eat a few mouthfuls of food last night when I was drinking, and I was already hungry in my stomach. ”

He Huaichun, who was still sleeping with a quilt on the luxurious fragrant soft bed, did not wake up, but just opened his mouth and scratched his face with some feeling.

"Hey, Brother Yang, when did you come to the border? ”

"Where's it? Where is my master?"

After following Jiang Ergou for so long, He Huaichun naturally knew Yang Dongqing's name for a long time, so he would have such a big reaction when he heard Jiang Ergou shouting Brother Yang at this moment.

Ignoring the excited He Huaichun, Jiang Ergou said lightly.

"Wake up, let's eat, I can't cure you with your little example." ”

He Huaichun picked up the quilt and threw it on the bed, looking very annoyed, and then there was a tendency to fall down and go back to sleep, but Jiang Ergou's next sentence made him sober up all of a sudden.

"Sleep, you just sleep hard, now you can watch until noon, don't want to leave today if you go to sleep, I heard that Yang Dongqing is in Lingzhou, but I don't know if he is gone." ”

"Brother Jiang, without further ado, let's hurry up and go on the road after eating, this is not far from Lingzhou, maybe I can still see my master a year ago." ”

Quickly getting dressed, He Huaichun rushed downstairs faster than Jiang Ergou.

"Xiao Er, serve all the signature dishes here, don't want the wine, you have to hurry today, and you don't want the dishes you served yesterday, if you want to eat, you have to eat what you haven't eaten. ”

"Come on, two masters!"

From the moment these two people stepped into the door of the store yesterday, he saw that these were two rich people, so since yesterday, he has been serving Jiang Ergou and the two with all his heart, hoping that these two will pick out a little bit from between their teeth and reward him.

The dishes were quickly assembled, the meat and vegetables were evenly matched, and this vegetarian dish also had a unique taste, which made Jiang Ergou and the two who were eating full of praise.

After being full of wine and food, Jiang Ergou patted his stomach and glanced at He Huaichun, who immediately understood and said to the shopkeeper.

"Little Er, come and settle the bill. ”

The shopkeeper, who was already waiting respectfully, immediately put the tablecloth on his shoulder and ran over quickly.

"Hey, two masters, my shopkeeper specially ordered to give a discount to the two of you this morning, counting yesterday's, a total of two of you will be charged eleven taels. ”

He Huaichun seems to be because he returned to Da Chu, and the demeanor of a rich boy is slowly revealed, and he is picking his teeth at the moment while saying indifferently to the shopkeeper.

"Eleven taels, it seems that your shop is not bad, and it took two meals to eat and drink this bit of silver. ”

Hearing the words that were not bad at all, the shopkeeper almost wrote the word happy on his face, and the tone in which he spoke to Jiang Ergou became more and more respectful.

"The second master, the small shop has always been a small profit but quick turnover, if the second master thinks it is good, he will take care of the sound of our store next time he plays here. ”

He Huaichun nodded, agreed, and then reached into his clothes. He pulled out a finely made but somewhat worn money bag.

But when he reached into the money bag to touch the silver, his face suddenly changed, and he touched it left and right, but he didn't touch a few grains of silver, and as for the large paper bills, he couldn't touch them.

Glancing at the shopkeeper who cast an inquiring gaze, He Huaichun first smiled politely, and then said softly.

"Rest easy. ”

In the smile of the shopkeeper, He Huaichun turned his head to look at Jiang Ergou.

"Brother Jiang, I don't have enough money here, how about lending me your money. ”

"Money, what money? I don't have it. ”

Don't mention money when you mention anything with Jiang Ergou, he has no merit as a person, but he has obtained the essence of keeping money, which is even much beyond his kendo.

"Brother Jiang, don't pretend to be stupid, I know you have silver, take it out quickly. ”

Unlike Jiang Ergou, He Huaichun, who has never been short of money to spend since he was a child, pays more attention to face, especially now that the shopkeeper is already a little impatient.

"I really didn't lie to you, and you don't want to think about it, if I have money, do I still need to eat with you?"

"Brother Jiang, I saw it last time, you have at least two silver tickets of one hundred taels in your pocket. ”

Hearing this, the shopkeeper, who was already about to show contemptuous eyes, immediately put away those careful thoughts, while Jiang Ergou jumped up like a fried cat.

"Okay, you Hehuaichun, tell me quickly, when did you peek at my things. ”

"I've seen you wearing a pair of floral pants, hurry up and take out the money, it's a big deal to return it to you when I go back, and you can go to my house in seven or eight days at most." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Ergou's eyes began to spin again, and he didn't know what kind of ghost ideas he was trying to do.

Jiang Ergou's eyes turned left and right, and finally to the middle, there must have been a fine light immediately, and I saw him tiptoe to He Huaichun's side and said.

"Harm, Brother He, what are you afraid of if you have no money, who are we talking to, brother, isn't my money your money! ”

Jiang Ergou, who suddenly changed his personality, frightened He Huaichun, and his whole body shook a few times.

"Don't, Brother Jiang, I'm afraid of you like this, I will definitely pay you back the money for today's meal, and I won't even take any less interest from you. ”

"What are you doing? See the outside, see the outside!"

While patting He Huaichun on the shoulder, Jiang Ergou took out his money bag, which really contained two silver tickets with unclear denominations, and there were not a few other broken silver.

took out a few pieces of broken silver and weighed them a few times, Jiang Ergou asked towards He Huaichun with some embarrassment.

"How much silver do you have left?"

"That's all. ”

He Huaichun poured all the broken silver in his money bag into Jiang Ergou's hand, looking like that, it was hanging to be able to make up four taels.

Put the silver together, Jiang Ergou handed over all the broken silver to the store, and didn't forget to remind him.

"Little Er, there are almost twelve taels here, you weigh it yourself, and the extra will be counted as your reward. ”

The shopkeeper can see it now, the other one of the two masters is rich and willing to spend, and the one who checks out at this time is rich and reluctant to spend, so ah, now he can dig out nearly a tael of reward money from him, which has made the shopkeeper feel very gratified.

But in fact, what the shopkeeper didn't know was that if this He Huaichun was by his side, he would be really embarrassed to lose this face, and he would have to go back even the less than one or two pieces of silver.

For the sake of less than a tael of broken silver, Jiang Ergou talked for a long time in the inn, and finally flickered to half a gourd wine and then got on the road satisfied, and rushed to the direction where He Huaichun and his house were.

...

After five days in a row, on this day, Jiang Ergou and they had already walked through Killing Man County and came to the boundary of Jibei County, where Hehuaichun's family is located, according to Hehuaichun, if he said it, he would be able to go to Jibei City, where his family was located tomorrow afternoon.

However, at this time, the noon sun was overhead, and seeing that it was time for lunch again, Jiang Ergou wanted to save this meal on the grounds of being in a hurry and not having a shop, but a tea stall appeared around the corner in front of him.

This kind of small tea stall can be seen everywhere in Dachu, in order to provide a place for passing merchants and people to rest.

However, although it is called a tea stall, it is common to prepare some food for these passing guests.

"Brother Jiang, I'm hungry. ”

Jiang Ergou licked his lips and pointed to the tea stall.

"Let's go, let's eat. ”

After entering the tea stall, Jiang Ergou spoke before He Huaichun spoke.

"Xiao Er, come to a pot of tea, and then two bowls of somen noodles, remember to have two more noodles when you are hungry on the road. ”

"Alright, guest officer. ”

Just when the shopkeeper was preparing noodles for them, He Huaichun glanced into the tea stall, which was amazing, and immediately looked at the row of roast geese in the counter.

"Brother Jiang, I saw that there is roast goose in this store, let..."

"What roast goose! What roast goose! I haven't figured out the conditions yet, and I still have money to eat roast goose?"

He Huaichun had already guessed that Jiang Ergou would be like this, but he still endured it in order to roast the goose.

"Brother Jiang, we've been eating somen noodles for five days, and my stomach is about to vomit, so you won't let me get some meat!"

In this regard, Jiang Ergou said earnestly.

"Xiaohe, you don't know, the most important thing for us to walk the rivers and lakes is to be able to endure hardships, I'm not just letting you get a knife, just let you not eat meat for a few days, you can't stand it?

When he mentioned this, He Huaichun became angry, he had heard this sentence a lot in the past few days, he had endured it a few days ago, but today he really couldn't bear it.

"The surname is Jiang, since you said that you want to learn to endure hardship, why didn't you say it when you spent my money before!"

"Nonsense, that's not my money. Of course I don't feel distressed. ”

The originally arrogant Crane Huaichun softened after being hard.

"Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang, didn't I say it all, I borrowed all this silver from you, and I won't be able to return it to you when I get to my house!"

"That's not possible, even if you are willing to pay it back, I can't ask for it! You didn't say anything about rubbing your food before, so now that you eat two meals of mine, you have to ask you to pay back the money, what is the matter, I don't want to mix in the rivers and lakes when I say it!"

"Brother Jiang..."

He Huaichun was going to say something, but Jiang Ergou, who had always been stubborn like a cow, obviously wouldn't give him this opportunity.

"Okay, don't talk about it, eat your noodles in peace! If you want to eat meat, wait until tomorrow when you come to your territory!"

It didn't take long for 20,000 somen noodles to be served, and Jiang Ergou had suffered hardships by following the old man, so he could not only eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but also eat this bowl of somen noodles.

But Hehuaichun is different, and I don't know if I really lost my appetite because of no oil and water or because of other things, in short, I was listless and played with the noodles with chopsticks.

"Brother Jiang,

Jiang Ergou, who was still swallowing noodles, was immediately choked, and quickly bit off the noodles and slapped his chest a few times before relieving himself.

"What did you say?"

"I said, Brother Jiang, why don't we go to my house! I'll find another way to pay you back your money. ”

Jiang Ergou took a sip of noodle soup and asked.

"Why?"

"Brother Jiang, you said that if I go back, my father and mother won't let me go out, what should I do? ”

Jiang Ergou, who thought something was wrong, only felt that he was making a fuss, and he then said while eating noodles.

"What else can you do, can you really not go back to see your father? You have to think about your age, the second elder of the family is not young, and besides, you don't have a long time to practice knives this time, if you don't come back after three years and five years, won't you regret it?"

He Huaichun frowned, he knew well the temper of the old man at home.

"Hey, according to what I know about my father, the chance of coming out after going back this time is no more than 30%, but just like Brother Jiang said, I definitely want to go back and have a look, but..."

"Little Er, here are two roast geese!"

"Hey, here's the guest officer."

Jiang Ergou, who was still sucking noodles, suddenly shouted at the tea stall, mainly because he didn't want to listen to the complaints of this kid He Huaichun anymore. And the latter immediately turned from sorrow to joy and shouted towards the tea stall.

"Xiao Er, put more chili noodles on my one!"

But the sorrow on the surface can be turned into joy, and there can hide the worries in your heart.

It is said that it is more timid to be close to home, but generally speaking, there are two kinds of timidity: one is that he has been away from his hometown for many years and is afraid of seeing his parents white, and the other is that he is ashamed to see his parents after returning to his hometown for many years.

For He Huaichun, his situation obviously belongs to the latter, and he has never forgotten the letter he left for his father when he ran away from home.

At the beginning, he was in a hurry to leave, so the content was a little unclear, but only one sentence was deeply rooted in his heart.

"Dad, this time I go out, I am bound to become a first-grade master!
