Chapter 20 The Wen Family in Lizhou
After thinking about it, Ye Dong decided to find a big family first and enter it to do things, first, to have a place to live, not to worry about food and drink, and second, to save some savings.
I will spend the night in this forest, which can be regarded as a vigil for the boss. Ye Dong's mood was a little complicated and heavy, and he once again deeply realized the cruel reality that the world is impermanent and human life is shallow.
The sky was faintly bright, Ye Dong stood in front of Chen Jun's grave and was silent for a moment, there was no tombstone, only a few pockets of loess on the tomb, he bowed a few times, and then walked out of the forest.
After many inquiries, in fact, as soon as I asked, I knew that there was a place suitable for Ye Dong to go, the Wen family in Lizhou.
This is a big family, with a head and face in Lizhou, and extraordinary strength, but it is not the kind of unicorn, who has to have a background relationship or is particularly top-notch in some aspect to enter, so the Wen family is just right for Ye Dong.
The Wen family was in the prosperous territory of Lizhou, and Ye Dong inquired all the way, walking in the direction they pointed out.
This walk lasted for three days, and finally it was not far from Wen's house.
At that time, it was getting late, Ye Dong was dusty all the way, and the journey was tiring, so he found an inn to play hard.
After dinner, Ye Dong took a bath with cold water, washed away his exhaustion, and remembered the people he met on the way. Some of them were very strange about how a teenager of Ye Dong's age could go alone, but as soon as they heard that Ye Dong was going to the Wen family, they showed a sudden expression of realization, thinking that Ye Dong was going to join some relative.
Poor teenagers, defecting to relatives, they have seen a lot of such things, and they still feel that it is not new.
The corners of Ye Dong's mouth twitched, and he sneered, no one asks about the poor in the downtown area, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains. Secretly thought: Even if I, Ye Dong, am down-and-out and in trouble, I will never dare to go to any relatives.
In the middle of the night, Ye Dong began to look through the alchemy, he had a good memory, and after reading it a few times, he remembered some of the formulas and pictures of the alchemy technique, but he was born meticulous, thinking that it was better to memorize every word and not make any mistakes.
After breaking the wall, Ye Dong was able to draw qi into the body. The so-called induction of qi into the body is to inhale the aura of heaven and earth into the lungs through breathing, and then quench it to remove impurities and form a stream of energy, which swims around the limbs and widens the space inside.
Ye Dong had made a breakthrough in qi refining before, and at this moment, the dirty and real mixed energy was full of vitality, and he hit things, in addition to bright energy, it also contained dark energy.
Ye Dong pondered: This qi refining technique is really a perfect match with my flying knife, could it be that Sister Wu originally wanted me to combine the two?
Control qi with thoughts, control the knife with qi, qi is outside the body, and the spirit is introverted. The attack power of the throwing knife may still need to be improved, but when sending the throwing knife, you can use this method to assist your throwing knife, and your throwing knife will be more accurate and flexible.
In the dark room, Ye Dong closed his eyes and entered the meditation world, there was nothing outside his heart, only two flying knives were still spinning beside him.
Ye Dong got up early and walked out of the inn quietly alone, barely alarming anyone, even the boss was still lying on the counter to make up for his sleepiness.
He came gently, walked gently, waved his sleeves, and did not take away a single cloud.
As soon as he walked out of the inn, and after walking a short distance, a middle-aged woman greeted him and said, "This son, where are you going? I can show you the way." ”
Ye Dong ignored him and walked on his own.
"Hey, little brother, I'm a local, and I know almost everything about this radius of hundreds of miles, and with me leading the way, you will definitely find the place you want to go quickly." ”
"No, I don't. Ye Dong said lightly.
"Tell me where you're going. The middle-aged woman refused to give up and followed Ye Dong all the time, looking very enthusiastic.
Ye Dong was overwhelmed and said, "Lizhou Wen family." ”
"I know that place, how about I take you there, only two pennies. ”
Ye Dong was too lazy to talk to her, but he really didn't know how to go, so he said, "You really know?"
The middle-aged woman smiled more attentively and said, "I'm a native of Lizhou, how can I not even know where the famous Wen family is." ”
"Don't worry, I didn't bring you to the Wen family, I won't take your money. She saw that Ye Dong was a little hesitant and added.
Ye Dong had just walked through an intersection with her, and a person stopped them, the man was five big and three thick, short and fat, and said in a rough voice: "Why are you walking so fast, you didn't see so many people on this road?"
Without waiting for them to speak, the man said to Ye Dong again: "Are you here looking for something to do?" Let me tell you, many people who introduce things to do are unreliable, and they will trick you into a cult like Zoroastrianism, and you won't be able to come out when you want to. There are many such things, and the city lord has given orders to resolutely crack down, and I am the patrol guard of this Lizhou. ”
Ye Dong was not afraid, and said: "You said that you are a patrol guard who protects the people, do you have a certificate?"
The man was enraged by Ye Dong's words, straightened his short neck, stared at a pair of bull's eyes, and said angrily: "My paperwork is in the office, you and I will arrest you if you are afraid of me." ”
Ye Dong stared at him and sneered in his heart, but his face was impassive.
"Oh, he's going to the Wen family, it's fine. The middle-aged woman explained to the guard.
The patrol guard probably couldn't scare Ye Dong, and glared at Ye Dong angrily, as if to say: Boy, don't commit it in my hands, otherwise you will feel good.
Ye Dong turned a blind eye and followed the middle-aged woman to continue walking, and after walking for a long time, the woman took him to a mansion, but the scale was smaller, and there was no Wen mansion, obviously not the Wen family.
The middle-aged woman said: "There are many people here who want to go to the Wen family, everyone will gather here, and then the boss here will send them over together." ”
Ye Dong was too lazy to say, turned around and left, the middle-aged woman was in a hurry, and hurriedly stopped Ye Dong and said, "You don't go to the Wen family?"
Ye Dong said: "This is not the Wen family. ”
The middle-aged woman said: "The boss here knows the people of the Wen family and is responsible for helping them recruit family members. ”
At this moment, an old man came over by the side of the road, wearing a bright robe, and said, "What's the matter? ”
Ye Dong looked at the rotten old man and said, "You can't take care of my business!"
The old man said angrily, "Believe it or not, I arrested you." ”
Why is this trick again, do they all think that country boys are timid and afraid?
These people have been in the prosperous realm of Lizhou for a long time, and they have seen countless people who come here from poor and remote areas to seek a living. It is estimated that this trick has been tried repeatedly for those country boys who have just come here and don't have much knowledge.
But Ye Dong is different from them, Ye Dong doesn't eat soft and hard, which makes them overwhelmed for a while and can't think about it.
"You can try. Ye Dong glanced at the old man lightly.
The old man in the bright yellow robe still looked majestic and proud on the surface, but his heart trembled involuntarily, only to feel that the kid in front of him was strange, but he couldn't say what was wrong.
After a while, he suddenly realized that this kid seemed to be too calm and calm, with a maturity and indifference that did not match his age.
Could it be that there is something to rely on, and what kind of strong backing is there? If this is the case, then we have to be a little more restrained.
These people are almost the same as Ye Hao and others in Luochan Village, they all like to bully the soft and fear the hard.
When he felt that Ye Dong would have a background, the old man was a little jealous in his heart, and he pretended not to hear Ye Dong's words.
After Ye Dong finished speaking, he was about to leave, but the middle-aged woman hurried forward, stopped him, and said, "You haven't given me the money yet?"
"Two pennies, right?" Ye Dong took out his money bag.
The middle-aged woman said: "The two cents are said to take you to the Wen family's coachman, and I will bring you here directly, not to mention five cents." ”
Ye Dong didn't laugh angrily, a kind of disdainful sneer, why bother with this kind of person, waste his time, directly gave her the money, and told himself in his heart that he would feed the dog.
He slowly groped his way in the direction of the Wen family, during which he bought a few steamed buns for two cents to satisfy his hunger, and by the way, he asked the owner of the steamed buns, the Wen family, how to go.
The boss gave him some pointers, he carefully remembered it in his heart, and after going around and around, he finally came to the gate of the Wen Mansion, which was not easy for him, a road idiot.
The reason why he would rather go by himself than hire a carriage is because the fare is too expensive, and second, because he does not trust anyone here.
He only believes in himself.
Even if he spared a lot of wrongful paths, he had to go to the destination by himself.
Looking at the two gilded characters of the magnificent Wen Mansion, the two stone lions in front of the door were majestic, and the access was strict, Ye Dong actually felt a little nervous in his heart.
