Chapter 36: Heaven helps self-help
"Huh, can it be?" said one of the candidates, seeing a few people following him.
The group of people gathered around the three people in the middle. One of the family-looking people was carrying a fat young master on his back, and the people behind him were pushing forward with force.
"That's fine, isn't it a cheat?" The guides behind also looked at each other.
"Are there any restrictions in the rules of the head of the house that people should not carry on their backs?" the other guide asked rhetorically.
"There shouldn't be such a rule, and I don't know how the man came up with it. ”
"I've seen that fat man, isn't that the richest man in Tan County, Qian Buhao, the extraordinary son?"
"Poof—why do you call Qian Buhao such a bad name?"
"How do I know, I'm not his father!"
It is said that Qian Buhao tried to throw money up the mountain, but his family has limited ability, and he is not a martial arts master, let alone a thousand catties of wrestlers.
There must be brave men under the so-called heavy reward, but this also depends on the number of catties and taels of the person on his back. Although Qian Hao is only ten years old, he has to weigh 150 or 60 pounds of fat.
Several family members rotated back and forth twice, and they were exhausted after running less than a mile of mountain roads. They can't afford to get up even if their young master screams and raises his salary.
"Useless stuff. Qian Buhao kicked Zhang Wu one after another, and scolded angrily and hatefully: "Shame on people, don't do anything with money!"
Zhang Wu, He Liu and others could only secretly complain.
Qian Buhao looked left and right, seeing that the guide behind him was about to catch up with him. In a hurry, he shouted loudly: "Listen to the people in front, whoever can carry me up the mountain will be rewarded with ten taels of silver! Whoever can carry me to the end of Majia Village will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver!"
was yelled at by him like this, and a few people really slowed down.
The reason why this audition is so popular is because the benefits offered by Guan Chang are too good, and there are seventy percent of today's candidates who come purely for money!
At this moment, Qian Buhao's offer price was even more generous and direct than that of the Invincible Sect! Ten taels of silver could be converted into the currency of the next generation for more than 10,000 yuan, and fifty taels was as much as 70,000 yuan!
It's just that most people sighed after seeing that Qian Buhao was not wealthy and continued to run away.
It's not that they're afraid that the money won't be rich, but that after they see the figure of the money that is not rich, they feel that this money is not something that anyone can earn!
Qian Buhao didn't stand still, he rushed forward a few steps angrily, and shouted again: "Reward 20 taels of silver, take me up the mountain, reward 100 taels of silver and take me through the physical fitness test!"
The few steps he took and the shouting consumed all the strength he had left, and he could only see the guides getting closer and closer to him.
"It's done!" A few people in the crowd in front of him suddenly turned around, picked him up and ran away while Qian Buhao had not been eliminated!
Qian Buhao was a little confused, and he saw that there were more than a dozen people around him.
"Thank you guys, if you don't make money, you will never repay your debts!"
"Mr. Qian, just look at it!" replied a strong man.
"I don't know the name of this good man?" Qian Buhao asked, leaning on the other person's back.
"The little one is called Wu Wei, and the brothers next to him are all begging for a life together. Wu Wei replied.
Wu Wei and the dozen or so people beside him are all coolies on the docks in Tan County. Tan County has accessible waterways, and there is a lot of work on the wharf. As a result, the coolies would spontaneously gather together, and even formed several small circles and even gangs.
Wu Wei's group originally occupied a unique piece of business, but with the intervention of the three sects and four small factions, the business they could get involved in became smaller and smaller, and the days were not as good as day by day.
Therefore, after they heard about the Invincible Sect's audition, they formed a group to come! They participated in the audition purely for money, and whether or not they could learn martial arts was secondary!
They are originally coolies, and they are proficient in moving boxes and backs. In fact, when Qian Buhao first asked for the price, a few brothers were tempted. However, Wu Wei recognized Qian Buhao, so he just gathered the people together, but he didn't turn back at the first time.
Sure enough, Qian Buhao really raised the price! If it weren't for those guides who were about to catch up with Qian Buhao, Wu Wei would have waited patiently for him to continue bidding!
Seeing this scene in the eyes of the people around me, I felt all kinds of emotions in my heart, but there was only one core: rich and capricious!
......
Xie Yun'er also saw this scene, but she didn't have time to think too much.
At this moment, her feet were barefoot, and the soles of her feet had been worn out, leaving a little blood stain on the way she ran.
Seeing that the top of the mountain was in sight, Xie Yun'er gritted her teeth and accelerated violently, as if she wanted to use the fatigue of her legs to disperse the pain in the soles of her feet.
It was precisely because of the barefoot running and the bloodstains behind her that Xie Yun'er attracted everyone's attention.
"How can there be blood on the ground?"
"That little girl is running barefoot!"
"Does the Invincible Sect accept female disciples?"
"It seems that there is no limit to men and women, but who would have thought that there would really be women coming?"
"Whose little girl is this, how dare she run out and show her face?"
"Look at her running happily, there are no rules. Tsk, how can you get married when you grow up?"
"Is there any other woman, is she the only one of more than a thousand people?"
"Such a strange woman, I'm afraid it's not one in a million. ”
The crowd went from curiosity to criticism, muttering to pointing.
Xie Yun'er couldn't pretend that nothing happened, but she didn't have the heart or strength to fight back, mainly because it was unnecessary.
It's just that the girl's heart is still uncomfortable, and her face is red with shame.
With something on her mind, Xie Yun'er's pace quickly became chaotic, and she was hit by a stone under her feet, and she was about to fall down when she stumbled forward.
Xie Yun'er's body lost her balance, looking at the ground in front of her that was getting closer and closer, and thought to herself, is it over, do you still have the strength to get up after this fall?
"Oops-" Xie Yun'er "lived up to expectations" and made a fool of herself, at this time her knees and palms were broken, and exhaustion occupied her body and mind in an instant.
"Ahh
Countless eyes looked at her, and countless more hurriedly left.
It contains regret, doubt, and gloating, but more often than not, it is just a numb bystander.
When did people move forward, they stayed for others.
The people behind gradually surpassed Xie Yun'er, and at this time she had fallen into the final echelon.
Qian Buhao was surrounded by a group of people and ran past her, and looked at her slightly. He wanted to say something and do something, but he was so upset that he just wanted to vomit.
"Brother Wu," Qian Buhao still said a sentence, "can you ask the brothers to give her a pair of shoes?"
The group of people still maintained a uniform speed forward, and it was Wu Wei who was carrying Qian Buhao at this time, and he replied: "Qian Gongzi, it's useless, the man's shoes are big, and she can't wear them." Moreover, she was exhausted and there was no one to help her. ”
Qian Buhao and Wu Wei sighed at the same time, and they didn't think about it anymore, because Majia Village was right in front of them!
Xie Yun'er collapsed helplessly on the ground, watching her tears clattering on the ground.
"God, if you want to kill my Xie family, why do you want to spare my life!" she asked, looking at the clear sky.
There was no response, and the sky was still clear, and the clouds were light and the wind was light.
Xie Yun'er could hear the voices of several people behind her and the guides pleading. She seemed to have returned to the night more than ten days ago, and heard her parents' cries of pleading with the bandits.
No one will show mercy, no one will be merciful, no one will help them, no one will help themselves.
Xie Yun'er clenched her fists, slammed her anger on the ground, and howled in despair and despair, "Get up—ah!"
A weak figure staggered to its feet from the mountain path and took a trembling step forward. Behind her were bare footprints mixed with blood and tears.
Xie Yun'er, who stood up again, felt that her mind was blank for a moment, as if she had forgotten everything, seemed to have forgotten who she was, and seemed to not be able to see the road ahead.
Her mind was empty, but she sent the signal to run forward to her legs with great determination. She could no longer hear the outside world, only her own breathing, which seemed to be infinitely amplified, and then returned to peace.
She felt like she was flying, otherwise she would definitely be eliminated by those guides.
Xie Yun'er really flew, but she had fainted at the moment.
A white figure grabbed her the moment she fell to the ground and flew forward.
It's not like running normally, it's really like flying.
That figure took Xie Yun'er to surpass Qian Buhao, who was surrounded by people, Huo San at the end of the strong crossbow, Tang Da and Cui Xi, and Li Siwen, who was leading at this time, and was the first to step into Majia Village!
