In the early morning, in the dim room, my father sat on the edge of the kang, smoking a cigarette and being silent for a long time.

Opposite his father, He Ping sat on a small stool, his fingers crossed, and he was a little excited.

The fox lay at He Ping's feet, carefully combing the hair on his forelimbs.

He Ling leaned against the door frame and blocked the door.

"What, you're going to Pingzhou to find those traffickers?"

"I've already said it, they're from the Void Academy, not human traffickers!"

He Ping explained to his sister with a smile.

"Brother, what should we do when you leave?"

As he spoke, He Ling had tears in his eyes. Has my brother been brainwashed? I can't persuade him!

He Jian told He Ping that the secrets of the cultivation realm could not be leaked, otherwise, whether it was the leaker or the person who heard it, there would be only a dead end.

He Ping couldn't get the test ball, so he might as well let his sister test it to see if there was a spiritual root.

Dad finished smoking, knocked the soot on the soles of his shoes, and nodded his head gently.

"I think it's okay! Our Xi Zhuangzi He family, the ancestors are all ordinary people, if Xiaoping can really get famous, not only our family, but the whole family will have a light on their faces!"

Dad said this, He Ling naturally didn't object, but he was a little reluctant and looked gloomy.

He Ping took out thirty silver coins.

"Dad, this is what I earned this time! You take it, buy whatever you want, don't save it!"

Dad has worked hard all his life, he has never earned so much money, he is both excited and proud, the child has grown up, and he has more ability than himself. In the future, he will become a big official, and it will be the pride of the entire Lao He family.

"No, the family doesn't spend much money, or you take it, in case there is something big or small!"

Dad was talking and talking, his voice was a little choked, and the old man was a little reluctant to him.

"Dad, don't shirk it, I still have more than ten coins here, and the academy pays money every month, and it's easy to make money in the city. ”

It's easy to make money in the city, and the old people have heard about it. Many people who went out in the village made a fortune, and when they returned to the village, the crazy one didn't know what his father's surname was!

Dad Zhengse said: "He Ping, you can remember, no matter what happens in the future, the villagers are still villagers, when they see their uncles and uncles, they should be called, we can't forget our roots!"

"Got it, Dad! In the future, you smoke less, it's not good for your health!"

In another world, the way his father sat dry, he remembered it vividly, and he didn't want the same thing to happen to the old man again.

He Ping carried a small bag, slowly walked out of the house, and looked back with mixed feelings.

I leave today, and I don't know when I will be able to return.

Dad walked to the door and advised, "Be careful on the road!

"Got it, Dad, go back!"

He Ling sent him all the way to the big willow tree.

The morning breeze is gusting and wicker is flying.

He Ling burst into tears, ran over, hugged his brother tightly, and refused to let go for a long time.

"Brother, remember to come back and see us!"

Mom died early, Dad was a taciturn man, and he was busy all day, and her brother was almost her only support.

"Got it, when I'm done, I'll take you and Dad over!"

He Ping stroked his sister's long hair, and tears rolled uncontrollably.

"Hmm!" He Ling nodded slightly.

The white fox followed He Ping closely, unable to drive away or let go. He Ping had no choice but to take it with him.

Six days later, He Ping finally arrived in Pingzhou.

Although there are no high-rise buildings in Pingzhou City, second- and three-story buildings abound.

Carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions and pavilions, cornices corridors, all kinds of buildings, extremely carved.

He Ping led the white fox, holding a simple map in his hand, along the smooth street, to the door of a three-story wooden building, above the gate there is a huge plaque, on which are written four big characters of dragons flying and phoenix dancing: Tongfu Inn.

This is it, the place He Jian agreed with him is this inn.

He Ping rubbed his hands and stepped up the steps.

A smiling and neat shopkeeper greeted him.

"Hello guest officer, is it to eat or stay in the hotel?"

"I'm looking for someone. ”

"What's your last name?"

"My surname is He, He Ping. ”

"Oh, got it. The person you were looking for has already left, but there are some things left behind for you to go to the Qingxu Academy on the 16th. ”

The shopkeeper brought something, a token and a letter.

The letter makes it very clear that on the 16th, that is, three days later, the exam registration for Qingxu Academy will begin, if He Ping can arrive, with that token, he can get a registration qualification, if he can't catch it, forget it. As for whether he can pass the test, it all depends on his ability.

He Ping has some confidence in himself, he has a six-color spiritual root, and it should be no problem to participate in the competition, right? As long as he starts the competition, what is there to worry about? The so-called competition is nothing more than a physical fitness test, what strength, speed, and endurance are not a problem, he is now like a double buff of the game, and his physical fitness is simply against the sky.

After He Ping finished reading the letter, the shopkeeper said: "There are still three days to go, do the guest officers live in the hotel? ”

He Ping thought that it would be the same wherever he lived, and asked casually, "How much is a day?"

"Twenty copper coins. The shopkeeper was happy.

Is it so expensive? The money he brought with him to stay here for more than 60 days is gone, and that's not counting food. He Ping's face was a little ugly.

"The guest officer can inquire about the inn of the same grade, we are quite affordable here, and we also send free breakfast!"

The shopkeeper is clever and speaks wildly.

He Ping wanted to go out for a walk, but thinking that He Jian had lived here, and if He Jian came back, it would be easy to find him, so he nodded and agreed.

After booking the room, He Ping came to the street again.

The white fox was like a big dog, honestly following behind He Ping.

Not long after leaving, He Ping found the Qingxu School, because it was not far away, and the signboard of the Qingxu School was very large and extremely conspicuous.

After passing by the Qingxu Academy, He Ping continued to move forward, how could he also come out, and simply turned around.

In the center of Pingzhou City, there is a huge square, every evening, there are many stalls in the square, selling clothes, selling ironware, selling porcelain, and even selling jade and antiques, all kinds of stalls, selling all kinds of things, people come and go, the sound of selling is constant, just like the night market on the earth.

At that time, He Ping would also go to the night market to have a look, but rarely buy anything, at most buy a few pairs of socks, buy a nail clipper or the like, for jade antiques, He Ping never dared to touch, first he had no money, and second, the water was too deep, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he would be a big fool.

With his hands behind his back, he swayed from one end of the market to the other, having nothing to buy, ready to return to the inn.

When I turned around, I found that the white fox didn't keep up, this white fox is very valuable and can't be lost.

He Ping hurriedly walked back, and didn't go far before he saw the white fox. This guy was lying on his stomach like a dog, motionless in front of a small, non-small stall.

There were already a lot of people around, pointing and talking.

"Whose big dog is this?

"You're blind, it's a fox!"

"Who the hell do you say is blind?"

A young man in white, parting the crowd, scolded.

"That's it, dare to talk to Miss Zhang like this, look for death!"

With a cold voice, a strong man in blue stepped forward and glared angrily.

"Apologize quickly!"

The one who spoke was a young man in Tsing Yi, with a personable demeanor and a folding fan in his hand.

Obviously, the man's words caused the wrath of the people.

"Miss Zhang said that if she said it was a dog, it was a dog!"

Another voice rang out.

"I was wrong! I didn't recognize such a big white dog!"

The man was clearly already cowardly, grinned, and walked away in dismay.

Miss Zhang is quite beautiful, with fair skin and curvaceous waist. Those were clearly her followers.

"I'm sorry, my fox. ”

He Ping was concerned about the fox, didn't pay attention to the quarrel next to him, and squeezed over, causing everyone to look at him angrily. Another one who doesn't have long eyes? Many people gloated.

He Ping sensed that the atmosphere around him was wrong, and just wanted to take the fox away as soon as possible, but the fox didn't buy it at all, twisted his body, couldn't get up, and the scene was a little embarrassing.

He Ping immediately understood that there must be something strange in this.

Looking over the fox's head, he noticed that the fox was staring at a piece of turquoise copper.

He Ping didn't dare to touch the copper piece directly, but picked up the jade pendant behind the copper sheet.

"How much is this jade pendant?"

The stall owner had already discovered that something was wrong, and when he saw He Ping pick up the jade pendant, he said quietly: "A gold coin!"

What a fool, He Ping gasped.

Alas, he is a little dick, and he can't afford to buy good things! Can he grasp this opportunity today?

"Two gold coins!"

A deep voice rang out.

"Three gold coins!"

It was a shrill voice that sounded unnatural and seemed to have deliberately changed his voice.

He Ping put down the jade pendant, picked up the white fox, and silently withdrew from the crowd. I hope others don't notice that piece of copper, he knows that no matter what he takes now, someone will definitely rob him, how can he compete with others with this little money?

This time, the fox was very cooperative. In the end, the jade pendant was bought for six gold coins.

He Ping walked around the nearby stall and waited until the crowd dispersed before slowly pacing back to the stall. He Ping secretly sighed, the copper sheet was still there.

The white fox became He Ping's ID card, and the stall owner made a lot of money just now because of the white fox's abnormality, so he naturally smiled and was very polite to He Ping.

"What do you want to buy, little brother? I'll give you a discount. ”

He Ping secretly slandered himself, I believe you are a ghost, and pretended to pick up a small ding.

"How much does this cost?"

"Twenty silver coins, you want to be cheaper, eighteen. ”

He Ping shook his head and put it down gently. He Ping picked up the broken copper piece this time and asked, "How much is this?"

"These five silver coins. ”

"It's too expensive. He Ping put it down again.

He faintly felt that once he missed this piece of copper, he would regret it in this life.

But he only had ten silver coins, and the most important thing was that he must not let anyone know that there was something strange about this copper piece. The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty.

He Ping picked up the copper tripod again, and he couldn't put it down.

"How's that? Eighteen silver coins are good enough. ”

He Ping thought twice and took out his watch from his pocket.

"I don't have any money on me, I can time this thing accurately, how much do you think it's worth?"

The stall owner remained silent, took the watch, looked at it repeatedly, and his expression of surprise disappeared in a flash.

"This thing is okay, but it's useless to me, so I'll exchange it for you Xiaoding!"

The stall owner looked a little in pain.

He Ping didn't seem to see the stall owner's expression, picked up the copper sheet casually, and said reluctantly: "That's not good, I'm too lost." Unless I get something. ”

"How's that going to work?"

The stall owner spoke, but did not stop him. In fact, when he saw He Ping coming back, he originally had the meaning of asking for a sky-high price, who knew that the master in front of him had no money at all.

Fortunately, the watch looks good and should be able to sell for a good price.
