Chapter 4: The Golden Scales

Early in the morning, in the west of the city, in front of the gate of the Golden Scale Gang.

At this time, Mo Chen and the other five people were standing in front of the mansion facing north and south, covering an area of 100 acres, waiting quietly.

This mansion is the place where the Golden Scale Gang is stationed, and just looking at the gate feels extraordinary: the vermilion gate has nine copper door nails on each side, a pair of beast heads knockers of the same color on the left and right, the red sandalwood plaque on the door is printed with the three big characters of the bronzing Golden Scale Gang, and a pair of evil stone lions with hideous expressions on the open space in front of the door. Of course, the most important thing is that there are two tall and mighty men at the door, and their tense muscles are highlighted in light cyan tight-fitting suits. Just being stared at by the two of them makes people feel a sense of horror.

At this time, the side door on the east side opened, and a young man in a long shirt with the same color as the big man's costume at the door came to Mo Chen and the others, and greeted:

"Come with me, Steward Wang is waiting."

Mo Chen took a step forward, followed the young man who turned around and walked back, and several people behind him also followed closely and began to walk inside.

After entering the door, I walked through a stone wall carved with birds and animals, walked from the front yard to the hall, and when I entered the hall, I saw a picture of carp playing in the water hanging on the wall facing the hall. Not daring to look more, he followed the hurried guide behind the wall where the pictures were hung. Walking out of the hall is another courtyard, a long corridor winds and stretches, on both sides of the corridor is a pool, in which rockeries are arranged, and red carp are swimming gently in the pool.

Follow the young man to the cloister for a while, walk to the left at the fork in the middle, walk to the end of the cloister, and pass through a circular courtyard gate and another courtyard.

In this way, the young man who followed the guide passed through several courtyards, turned a few intersections, and came to the gate of a small courtyard.

Pushing open the courtyard door, the young man walked in first, followed by Mo Chen and the others. The courtyard is not big, you can collect it all at a glance, except for a corner of the courtyard planted with a fence and planted a few unknown bright flowers and a small pavilion in the courtyard, there is nothing special. When he came to the small pavilion, the young man hugged his fists and saluted

"The king is in charge, and the man has been brought. Then he returned the order and stood next to the kiosk.

"What you have done, I have already found someone to confirm" Steward Wang, who was sitting at the small stone table in the pavilion and leisurely sipping tea, raised his eyes to look at the young men in front of him, and said leisurely:

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect you to be able to get things done so quickly, and in that case, I won't break my promise," the king steward seemed to appreciate in his words, and turned his head to the young man next to him and ordered:

"Take them to the early spring courtyard, the training of the new gang has not started yet, but it is just right" Then he lowered his head again, picked up the teacup and tasted the tea.

The young man next to him clasped his fists and saluted again, turned around and walked out without saying a word. Mo Chen hurriedly learned from the young man to clasp his fists and salute, and the others also bowed in the same way, and then left with the young man. From beginning to end, several people didn't even say a word.

Walking out of the courtyard where Steward Wang was, the young man led a few people forward without saying a word. Zhang Shi, who was behind him, suddenly took a few steps forward at this time, and said to the young man with a flattering face:

"This eldest brother, what kind of place is the early spring courtyard? What is the name of the eldest brother? The younger brother Zhang Shi will also be a member of the Golden Scale Gang in the future, please give me more advice. ”

The young man glanced at the little fat man who came forward with a smile on his face, and said lightly:

"Early spring is the meaning of orientation, and it is a place where the gang trains new people. As for me, I'll wait until you can take up a position at the gang headquarters in the future."

After saying that, he was silent, but the meaning was already obvious: with you, you are not worthy to know my name now.

Zhang Shi touched a nail, still smiling, as if nothing had happened, and walked forward with the first position behind the young man.

Mo Chen looked at Zhang Shi's behavior in front of him, and he was not surprised in his heart. He had already expected that after joining the Golden Scale Gang, Zhang Shi and Li Ling would probably part ways with him. After all, in the past, they followed Zhang Shi just to live in the group for warmth, although they have been together for so long, but there is no deep affection between the two and him, and they are usually willing to listen to Mo Chen's instructions, but he has always had a good idea and has never done anything wrong with going abroad. It's just that I didn't expect Zhang Shi to be so impatient and behave so explicitly. Mo Chen never thought that he would be able to walk the streets since he was a child, experience the warmth and coldness of people, and be accustomed to seeing the sinister people in the world who can easily offer loyalty to others and stick a knife in both sides. On the contrary, Li Hu and Qian San are relatively rare.

A few people walked all the way, and gradually came to the wide courtyard, in front of the courtyard there is a blue brick pavement, there is a large school field, behind the school field is a small difference in type of cottage side by side.

Before leading a few people into the front room, the young man stopped, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door:

"Is Liu Jiaoxi here?"

There was silence in the room for a while, and then the people inside seemed to hear the voice of the person at the door, and a gentle voice came from inside:

"It's Tianlei, Steward Wang has arranged for a newcomer to come again?"

"Yes"

With a 'squeak', the door opened, and out of it came a middle-aged man dressed in a blue Confucian suit, who looked like he had more of a show temperament and had been taught by a gang, and his face was radiant, his face was white, and his eyes were bright.

Mo Chen and the others couldn't help but take a step back, their faces were all pale, and their hearts were beating rapidly, and it took a while before they gradually recovered.

Na Liu Jiaoxi just glanced at it, didn't look here, turned his head to Wang Tianlei beside him and said:

"The recruitment and training of the new gang will be over in the next few days, and this steward should know better than me that if no one else is arranged, I will have to register and report in two days. ”

"Yes, I will convey it to the king's steward when I go back, and if there is no other command, I will return first. ”

Seeing Liu Yunzhi nodding, Wang Tianlei clenched his fists and turned away.

At this time, Liu Yunzhi had already restrained the light in his eyes and looked at the teenagers in front of him. They are all fourteen or fifteen years old, just right, and they can not show their ugliness at a glance, it seems that they have had a little experience. If you train it well, it can be regarded as a material that can be made, and it will be a credit when the time comes. Thinking of this, the unhappiness of being disturbed slowly subsided.

Before, this Liu taught Liu Yunzhi to practice in the room, but in fact, he was in a trivial position like him, and he shouldn't have practiced during the day when things were busy. But in the past few days, the gang is approaching the end of recruiting newcomers, and there have been two days when no newcomers have been sent, and he has already ordered the newcomers who have been arranged to live in the back room early, and all the problems will be talked about when the training begins, and they should not be disturbed at ordinary times. And this early spring courtyard is also different from other places in the gang, the general gang is not allowed to approach, only the Wang steward who is responsible for recruiting the gang can send people to come, I thought that no one would come again, Liu Yunzhi was meditating and practicing in the house at this time. I didn't expect to be interrupted from my cultivation today, it's like when you were holding a beautiful woman in the middle of the night and were turning the clouds and rain, and you were suddenly disrupted. Liu Yunzhi was actually angry in his heart, but he was already at his own expense in this matter, and he couldn't attack Wang Tianlei, who was said to be a distant relative of Wang Steward, so he was angry with Mo Chen and a few others.

Mo Chen didn't know that several of his people had suffered from the pond fish disaster inexplicably. was led by Steward Wang to receive two sets of green shirts issued by the gang, and arranged a house, which can be regarded as settling down.

Looking at the few people in the room who had changed into the same clothes, and the few beds that were still empty, because only he Mo Chen let out a long breath, as if he had let go of a heavy burden.

Finally, life is no longer precarious, although now I can only wear the green clothes of ordinary gangs, but in the future, I will definitely be able to wear a deacon blue shirt, and I can even be like a high-level one who no longer has to stick to the color and style of clothes, and dress according to my own preferences.

"Brother Mo" At this time, Zhang Shi said, "Although the other rooms are just full, the room for the five of us occupying eight people can be a lot more spacious, but we are new to the city, we don't understand anything, and no one communicates but it is not convenient, I see that it is almost time to eat at this time, maybe someone feels the canteen at the back of the courtyard early, I will go to see if I can inquire about some useful information, and I will not be blind to the next arrangement for us."

Mo Chen looked at the seemingly sincere black-bellied fat man in front of him, nodded and said nothing.

Then, Li Ling also walked out on the pretext that he wanted to go around and familiarize himself with the environment.

Looking at Qian San, a thin black boy who wanted to speak and stopped, Mo Chen said meaninglessly:

"Let them go, I didn't sleep all night yesterday, I'm sleepy, you should take the opportunity to rest, everything will be talked about later." ”

Saying that, no matter what he was still scratching his head, Li Hu looked inexplicable, walked to his bed and lay down and fell asleep.
