Su Chen came back from the back mountain and went to the compound of the Miscellaneous Servant Hall to exchange for a low-level deacon's token.

The low-ranking deacons are still miscellaneous servants, but they are one level higher than the lowest-ranking junior miscellaneous servants, and they have a small right, that is, they can choose their own miscellaneous tasks from now on, instead of being randomly assigned tasks by other middle and senior deacons.

With this convenience, Su Chen can choose some well-paid and flexible handyman jobs to do in the future.

Although Su Chen broke through the lower dantian for eight months after joining the gang, it was nothing to say in the huge Medicine King Gang. But in the miscellaneous service hall, it still caused a small sensation. For miscellaneous disciples, this is still rare.

Subsequently, Su Chen handed over the task of guarding the medicine field and received nine coins of broken silver from the bookkeeper.

Su Chen touched these broken silver, which was full of copper smell, and put it in the money bag and rattled, with an inexplicable joy and great satisfaction.

He had mixed feelings.

used to fish in the small river in Zhouzhuang, and after a month of busy work, at most dozens of pitiful copper plates were accumulated on his body.

Unexpectedly, when he came to the Medicine King Gang, he earned a full nine dollars of silver just by being a small handyman for three months, which can be said to be the first time in his life that he earned so much money.

If it is a disciple of another hall, I am afraid that I will earn more.

The disciples of the Medicine King Gang claim to be rich in the rivers and lakes of Wu County, which is really not empty words.

Su Chen stuffed the money bag containing broken silver into his arms and hid it close to his body to prevent his hard-earned money from being lost or stolen.

But, then again, if you really have to spend it, this broken silver, which is less than a tael of silver, is not used at all, and he is eager to break every grain of silver in half and use it.

Originally, Su Chen planned to go to the Library Pavilion to buy a low-level martial arts book, but the lowest-level martial arts secrets of the Library Pavilion also required one or two silver. Medicine books are just as expensive.

He is also short of a hundred copper coins, and he can't afford it for the time being.

Su Chen thought about it for a while, and still planned to go to Gusu County.

He stayed in the field of the rare Medicine King Gang Houshan for three months, and he almost didn't see popularity, and he was about to suffocate him.

Go to the lively Gusu County for a walk, the crowded place is popular, and by the way, find some delicious snacks to satisfy your cravings.

...

Su Chen got off Yaowang Villa, got out of the Iron Cable Cold Bridge, and it didn't take long to come to the lively Gusu County four or five miles away.

He bought a few delicious osmanthus cakes and stinky tofu in the street shop, which can be regarded as a reward for his hard work in the past few months. Now I have a few coins and broken silver in my hand, unlike the shabby when I first came to the county, and I don't have a penny of copper plates on my body.

The streets of Gusu County are still as prosperous and lively as in the past, full of bustling merchants, sedan chairs and carriages, and the traffic of goods.

The restaurants and tea shops on both sides of the street are full of high-rollers in the rivers and lakes, and there is an endless stream.

Everywhere you can see a rich boy, with a few attendant servants, sneaking around for three or two days with local dogs, with crickets and bird cages to tease and play.

There are also young ladies with oil-paper umbrellas shopping, groups of people in and out of exquisite jewelry shops, chattering excitedly selecting their favorite jewelry and rouge powder.

There are also many small vendors carrying fresh melons and fruits, shouting and selling them along the street.

Su Chen walked alone on the street, relaxed and comfortable, enjoying the lively atmosphere of the market.

He came to the lively Gusu County again, walking in the bustling crowd, everything around him was so vivid, and there was a kind feeling of being in a different world.

Su Chen now has no sense of alienation and strangeness from this Gusu County.

He has been promoted to a low-level deacon in the Medicine King Gang, and he can earn some money for his own skills.

In this bustling Gusu county, it can be regarded as a firm foothold, and there is no need to worry about eating the last meal in the cold winter month, dizzy from hunger, and being displaced.

Moreover, as a third-rate martial artist, he has already stepped on the minimum threshold of disciples in the rivers and lakes, which can even be regarded as the number one little person in some small gangs of dozens of people in the rivers and lakes of Wujun, and he is no longer those little minions who do not enter the stream.

It's just that the Medicine King Gang has a great cause, and it is one of the five major gangs in Wu County, with thousands of disciples in the gang, which makes it seem that he is still at the bottom of the gang.

Su Chen's current situation is many times better than the displacement half a year ago.

Thinking that at the beginning, he was penniless and had just come to Gusu County, he was chased by splashes and vicious dogs, and was bullied by several beggars, and almost starved to death on the street.

Every time he thought of this, Su Chen felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

I don't know what happened to Ah Chou after he went to the Aquila Gate in the past eight or nine months, and whether he has laid the foundation of the dantian? He made an appointment with Ah Chou, and in the future, he will be successful in his cultivation and will be proud of the rivers and lakes together.

Unconsciously, Su Chen walked leisurely to the vicinity of the Sky Eagle Inn.

In the backyard of the Sky Eagle Inn, Su Chen saw Butcher Zhang, who was killing pigs, that is, Senior Brother Zhang Tieniu's father, and greeted him politely.

Since he said goodbye to Master Li Kui, his relationship with Zhang Tieniu and other brothers has weakened. However, he and Butcher Zhang are villagers, but they have another relationship.

Su Chen asked Butcher Zhang about Ugly's news, but Butcher Zhang didn't know what Ugly's current situation was, he hadn't seen Ugly return to the Sky Eagle Inn for more than half a year, and there was almost no news.

Su Chen couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

He thought of another thing, Butcher Zhang's mother-in-law was from Zhouzhuang, and she often went back to Zhouzhuang to save her relatives. He asked the butcher to help bring five coins of broken silver and sent it back to Zhouzhuang's hometown to bring to his father.

He saved a few coins and silver on his body, and kept it to buy martial arts secrets to practice in the future.

Butcher Zhang is naturally full of promises, and he occasionally goes back to Zhouzhuang with his mother-in-law to save his relatives, and by the way, he helps Su Chen bring it back, and it is not troublesome.

...

Su Chen came out of the Sky Eagle Inn and wandered around the streets of the city, thinking about what to do.

Suddenly, he saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old gray linen boy pushing a dung truck with seven or eight dung buckets piled up on the front of the busy street, and walked outside the east city gate.

The young man had a bruise on his face, an ugly appearance, and a cloth sweat towel draped over his shoulders.

Su Chen was stunned.

Isn't that exactly the ugly!

"It's me!"

Su Chen was surprised, and hurriedly beckoned and called out to Ugly.

When the blue-faced young man heard someone calling him on the street, he couldn't help but look back, and when he saw Su Chen not far from the street, he couldn't help but be stunned, but he hurriedly lowered his head and pushed the dung truck to the east gate in a hurry.

Su Chen saw that Ah Chou didn't pay attention to himself, but lowered his head to cover his face, and wanted to leave, he couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly chased after him.

He had come to Gusu County and Tianying Gate to look for Ah Chou a few months ago, but the main hall of Tianying Gate was too big and there were many disciples in the gang, so he didn't know how to find it.

Now that I finally happened to meet it in the market, how could I let Ah Ugly leave like this.

Su Chen hurriedly caught up with him, and happily grabbed Ah Chou.

"Ah ugly! I went to the Sky Eagle Inn to look for you before, and Uncle Li and Uncle Zhang both said that you entered the Sky Eagle Gate and became a disciple of the Sky Eagle Gate. I tried to look for you several times, but I couldn't find it. What's going on with you lately?"

Ah Chou covered his face with a sweat towel, his eyes were evasive, and his expression was a little ashamed, as if he didn't want to recognize Su Chen.

But he was pulled by Su Chen and couldn't go.

Ah Chou could only put down the handle of the dung truck, wiped the sweat on his face with a towel, and forced a smile: "Oh, it's Brother Chen, I didn't look at it just now." I'm now in the Aquila Gate, too. However, the steward of the Eagle Gate said that I would first do three years of hard labor for them in the door, and all the clumsy and dirty work would have to be done. After these three years, I am a true outer disciple. Brother Chen, don't worry, I will definitely cultivate martial arts, and our brothers will go to the rivers and lakes together in the future!"

"Three years of hard labor?"

Su Chen was stunned.

Picking dung, washing clothes, etc., these are the jobs of servants and maids. Although the miscellaneous disciples of the Medicine King Gang also do odd jobs, they take care of the fields, patrol, vigil, etc., and do not do this.

Forget about these, you have to do three years of hard labor before entering the Heavenly Eagle Gate, which is nothing, after all, being able to become a disciple of the Heavenly Eagle Gate can be regarded as rewarding for enduring hardships.

But Su Chen was surprised to see that under the sleeves of Ah Chou, there were still knife and stick scars.

"What's the matter with these scars on your body? These are knife and stick wounds, and many of them are from the last month, not to mention that you fell and injured them. Someone in the Aquila Gate is bullying you?"

Su Chen's eyes were cold, and he immediately opened Ah Ugly's sleeve, revealing all the scars hidden inside, which was shocking.

Some of these wounds did not even fall off, but they were not old injuries that were beaten by the king of the Heavenly Eagle Inn eight or nine months ago, they must have been injured recently.
