Chapter 235: A New Life
Yangzhou is a good place.
Yangzhou is also a place where wealthy businessmen gather.
Since the war, Yangzhou has been connected by land and water, bringing together merchants from all over the country, and at the same time welcoming Hu merchants from the sea, who have promoted the economic development of the city, thus becoming comparable to Chang'an, Luoyang and other big cities.
What do men do when they have money?
A lot.
But it is absolutely indispensable to drink and have fun, and beautiful women are company.
Therefore, Yangzhou has become one of the world's wind and moon gatherings, during which the most prestigious is the 24th Bridge.
I heard that the surrounding mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the scenery is beautiful, and the literati and artists like to gather here the most, and the literati drink and compose poems, how can they not have singers and dancers as companions?
Where wine, beauty, and beauty gather, how can a normal man resist its charm?
In March, when catkins are like smoke and flowers are blooming, a handsome, delicate and slender young man came to Yangzhou.
The bad person's ability to change his face is indeed good, and after removing the gauze, Thirteen was instantly confused, is the person in the mirror still him? This young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, high nose and wide mouth in front of him is really him? In addition, after hiding for a few months, his complexion is a little whiter, and he looks really twenty years younger, from an uncle to a young man.
Human growth is divided into two parts, one is physical, and the other is psychological.
The body will slowly age on its own with time, while the mind will slowly mature because of the insights in life and the contact with people. Thirteen lived in seclusion in the mountains when he was in his twenties, and his heart has hardly changed for more than ten years, and his speech habits are not much different from those back then, so it is not too much of a problem to "pretend" a young man of twenty with a physical age of forty.
On top of that, Thirteen found himself growing a lot taller!?
After consultation, the doctor told him that he would grow taller for the second time because Thirteen's leg bones were all broken, and it was inevitable that there would be some growth in the process of recovery.
It's like building a wall, with the same number of bricks stacked on top of each other, but adding mud to the middle will increase the height a lot.
Fortunately, Ah Hua stopped it in time, otherwise Thirteen would have planned to break his leg again on the spot.
"Hero, your leg is very fragile now, and you can't withstand such a serious injury for the second time in a short time!"
"Really?"
"With such a serious injury, you can only end up crippled outside. If it weren't for the fact that someone from the Chen family was in charge of this among the bad people, I'm afraid you wouldn't even have a chance to stand up..."
"Okay......"
In the end, Thirteen underwent a period of rehabilitation training, mainly to lose weight, lift loose skin, and learn about the future work situation before being taken to Yangzhou.
Thirteen's current appearance seems outstanding in his eyes, but in Yangzhou City, which has a population of hundreds of thousands, it is like a drop in the ocean, and it is not as attractive as the blonde and blue-eyed Hu Shang.
If he hadn't stood outside an old shop and shouted angrily, I'm afraid no one on the road would have noticed him.
It's all different from what was promised!
What Thirteen was looking forward to was a small courtyard, even if it was an ordinary house, but the man in charge of picking him up brought him to the shop, threw the key over, and said that this is where you live, and then ran away with a smoke......
It wasn't until his mouth was dry that Thirteen used the key in his hand to open the door of the old shop.
I don't know how long I haven't lived here, as soon as I opened the door, a musty smell came to my face, and the house was full of dust, which was worse than the small dilapidated house in the mountains where he had lived for more than ten years.
The dust on his face made Thirteen sneeze a few times, and then sat at the door with a dejected face, waiting for the smell and dust inside to dissipate a little before going in.
habitually touched his waist, only to remember that the cigarette stick had long been gone, and Thirteen spat fiercely: "Gan Linliang, Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming, if you have the ability, don't appear in front of Lin Shu for the rest of your life, and the next time we meet, I must spit on your face first." ”
Since you want to abandon the past, you can't bring anything related to the past, including everything that is related to the past, including rest clothes, cigarette sticks and ghosts, etc., all of which were taken away by Xiao Ming.
Now there is only one package on Thirteen, which contains a few changes of clothes, plus a little living allowance given by Xiao Ming, and the next few days will depend on receiving a monthly salary, a thousand copper coins per month......
recalled that Huang Guiyun ate more than 500 yuan in one meal in Licheng, and he didn't know if the monthly salary of 1,000 copper coins was enough to live for a few days in a big city like Yangzhou.
There is no way, the worst bad people at the bottom can only receive such a small amount of money every month.
There are now nine levels of bad people, and the current position of thirteen is level nine, and the highest is level one, which is the internal name, and it is not so clear for outsiders.
The person he replaced was in charge of daily intelligence gathering, which was a fairly easy and simple job, so the level was not high, but with such a meager monthly salary, that person would also die of alcoholism, and there should be some gray income.
There are so many bad people at the bottom, presumably the top won't care so much, Thirteen also thought of this, and decided to come to Yangzhou, otherwise I am afraid that I will have to be "locked up" for a few more months, waiting for other vacancies, who knows what will happen in a few months.
Now the primary goal of the thirteenth is to hurry up and practice the Qing Capsule Sutra, so that he has a little self-protection ability, and he really doesn't dare to let go of the posture and start practicing in the base of bad people, so he can only pretend that he is still a waste.
However, according to Xiao Ming's meaning, as long as the opportunity is right, he will raise the thirteen upwards, for half a year or a few months, and he can become a high-level bad person, sitting in the rear, without running out to be exposed to the wind and sun, killing and injuring.
In this way, Thirteen has a clear plan for this trip to Yangzhou, first collect money at the bottom, there are a lot of rich businessmen here, and it should be no problem to collect some protection fees as a bad person, and then wait to be transferred out of here and then be in a high position, and then have the power and money, and the second half of his life should be able to live a small life in peace.
As for the rivers and lakes, let's go after it.
As for Yangzhou, there are good memories of Thirteen here, and there are also bad memories.
Zhang Yanming knew those things, but he had to choose Yangzhou, and he always felt that this place was pulled to the side of the pit again, and he didn't know when he would be pushed down......
Thirteen, who was sitting on the ground, observed the people coming and going on the street, and found that they were all ordinary people in cloth clothes, and there were no rich people wearing ribbons, and there were no knights in the rivers and lakes who carried swords and swords, and his heart was a little relieved.
Since there are no such people, it means that the probability of encountering bad luck is relatively low, especially in places where there are many heroes in the rivers and lakes, there are usually many troubles, and if you are not careful, you will be involved in it.
Thirteen stood up and patted his buttocks, went around the shop, and found that there were no cleaning tools, so he could only go out to buy and familiarize himself with the surrounding environment by the way.
A new life... Let's start~
