Chapter 8 Salvation and Promise

A person, a donkey and an old man sit or stand in this restaurant, although the location is remote, but it gives everyone the feeling as if this is the center of the restaurant.

"I just heard the old man's remarks, and I was very puzzled, could I please elaborate on the old man?" Zou Yang stared straight at the old man with a grimace and said curiously

Seeing that this old man had a strange appearance and an extraordinary conversation, Zou Yang had the intention of making friends.

"Childe, forgive me, can you let the old man eat something first?"

The old man with a grimace is obviously on the verge of fainting from hunger, but he can live with such restraint, what is this called? Yes, literacy.

"Ah, it's a small road faux pas, ashamed, ashamed, please take care of yourself" Zou Yang suddenly realized and patted his forehead and said in annoyance

What to pretend, obviously hungry to death and still holding on, Zou Yang suddenly snickered in his heart, sour Confucianism is Zou Yang's temporary view of the old man.

"Breathe, breathe, what!"

Seeing that the person who had just opened and pretended to be Sven was instantly revealed, the speed of eating was as if it had been opened, and the dishes on the table were wiped out like a storm, and two catties of good wine were brought by the way. Zou Yang has been watching silently, and he can't see any emotions emerging.

"Ah, it's a great blessing in life to eat, uh!"

With the old man with a grimace and a full burp, Zou Yang's face also changed slightly.

"I know that Childe must have despised the old decay, but he is really hungry and unbearable, Childe forgive me?" The old man with a grimace stood up and held on to the edge of the table and saluted

"Hey, what did the old man say, everyone meets in Pingshui, it is fate to be able to gather here, you don't have to be polite to me, my ambition is to travel all over the world, make friends, I am honored to meet a person with a character like you. Zou Yang patted his chest and said

"For Childe's question just now, the old man will sell it first, can I ask Childe, what do you think of today?" The old man with a grimace asked in a deep voice

Uh, this, that, cough cough, in fact, I don't hide it from the old man, I just came down the mountain not long ago, I don't know anything about the outside world, as for the general trend of the world, it will be divided for a long time, it will be divided for a long time, there is no knowledge, a little shallow understanding, don't make fun of the small road, "Where does Zou Yang know what the general trend of the world is, to put it bluntly, do my bird business, Dao Ye, I am a greedy person to eat and drink, and it is a pure waste of brain cells to ask such a deep question." Of course, Zou Yang wouldn't say that, and the other party didn't understand.

"The general trend of the world, a long time must be together, a long time must be divided!

Seeing the old man in front of him reading this sentence with all his heart, Zou Yang suddenly lost interest, re-ordered wine and food, and ate leisurely.

"Childe is really a genius of the world, in one word, he breaks the root of all things in the world, please be worshiped by the old man!" said the old man with a grimace and suddenly got up and bowed to Zou Yang.

"Nani? What did I say, don't, I can't stand the trail. Zou Yang hurriedly picked up the old man with a grimace in the green fetus, and 10,000 wild horses galloped past in his heart.

"I think I, Qi Yu, think that I am full of economy, learn to be rich in five cars, have the talent to help the world, and have the ambition to go through the heavens and latitudes. I didn't expect that a casual sentence in front of the son would break through the general trend of this world, and I was ashamed. The old man with a grimace paused and raised his forehead

Zou Yang sweated in his heart, he had seen shamelessness, he had never seen such shamelessness, no wonder he was so thin and heartless to praise himself

"Childe, please forgive the old man for asking again, what will happen after the world is divided?"

Looking at the old man with a grimace of the green fetus, the eyes of the stars had already appeared, Zou Yang also pretended to be deep and slowly said four big words

"The world is one!"

Zou Yang didn't want to talk to such a boring person anymore, so when the old man with a grimace was in a daze, he picked up his backpack, led Peng Peng, and walked out of the restaurant.

"Childe, Childe stays, can you take in the old slave, the old slave is willing to serve the son for life. Please Gongzi Cheng" Zou Yang, who had just stepped on Pengpeng, was almost thundered by the old man with a grimace and fell off the donkey

"Uncle, don't, you're tormenting me, right? First, we don't know each other, and I only invite you to a light meal, so there's no need to sell yourself for a meal, right? Second, I'm used to being free and casual alone, and I don't have the time or money to spend energy to take care of someone. Third, I think everyone is equal, and it's okay to keep a slave in your hands, you understand!" Zou Yang straddled Peng Peng, tilted his head and smiled

"No, the son is talented, from the moment the old slave saw the son, he was already shocked, the son of heaven is full, the fortune is bullfighting, a body of luxury, the fairy is around, and there is the support of the spirit beast, it will soar to the sky, the right son is a pearl, the world is famous, the old slave admires for a while, I wish the son to accept the old slave, the old slave is willing to saddle the horse for the son, and serve the work of dogs and horses. The more the old man with a grimace said, the more excited he became, as if he was going to kneel down if he didn't agree.

Zou Yang was also whipped and didn't want it, what is this really going on, inviting someone to have a meal, this is up to me. I just have this amount of money, what do I eat after raising you? Drink the wind, Zou Yang was about to refuse.

"Poof!" a throwing knife had been inserted into the left ankle of the old man with a grimace.

"Haha, Qi Yu, this time I see where you are running, I didn't expect that Qi Yu, who was unruly and arrogant, and spoke wildly, actually knelt down and begged others to take him as a slave, what a strange news, I must talk to the young master when I go back, haha." Qi Yu, I will let you die here today, and relieve the shame I have suffered for so many years. I've been chasing you for more than ten years, and I finally caught you!" Four or five burly men suddenly sprang out from behind the big tree in front of the restaurant, and the first strong man looked up to the sky and laughed

"Qi Lao Liu, I have already expressed my unwillingness to be the head of the family, he Qi Zhen even poisoned me despicably and shamelessly, making me a ghost and a ghost, and sent you to chase and kill me for so many years, Qi Zhen has been the head of the family for so many years, and he still remembers my brother, refuses to let me go, and cuts the grass and eradicates the roots? The old man with a grimace held his left leg with one hand, and said with a sad smile while standing up.

"Could it be that this is my Qi Yu's calamity? Haha, Qi Zhen, if I don't die today, I swear that I will definitely let you die with a thousand holes and broken flesh!" The old man with a grimace knew that there was no good fruit today, and he swore angrily and resentfully

"Hmph, Qi Yu, don't dream, suffer death, you" Qi Lao Liu and his party took out the big knife and were about to end up Qi Yu

"Slow, you said that you people, fighting and killing in broad daylight, you still refuse to let go of him like this, and your master is too, careless of human life, I shouted that the police ,,, the government's mansion, you just wait to eat in prison."

Zou Yang rode on the donkey and shouted, in fact, the reason why Zou Yang spoke out, first, he rode on the donkey and said that he could run. Second, after all, the old man with a ghostly face is also his own person, although he is not yet, but Zou Yang can't see death without saving him.

"Where did the ignorant boy come from, he spoke wildly, and he didn't inquire about the Southwest Qi family. What can the government do with us? Today, I will kill you, and the local county government will not dare to fart out. Since you want to die so much, I will fulfill you, up, hack them to death. Qi Lao Liu sneered at Zou Yang and the old man with a grimace

"Dang!"

A dart missed Qi Lao Liu's waist knife.

"Who the hell dares to care about the affairs of our southwest Qi family, is it crooked?" Qi Lao Liu was beaten to the waist knife, and roared with angry eyes

"Hehe, Southwest Qi family, such a big signboard, such a big breath. What kind of thing are you Qi family? A merchant traitor, and he is so rampant. The sound of horses' hooves accompanied by the cry of the jade beads falling on the jade plate came instantly

"Phew!"

More than twenty black-clothed people stood neatly behind an ordinary girl, as steady as a javelin, but the evil aura on her body jumped straight at Qi Lao Liu's eyelids. Yes, the girl in front of her is the little woodcutter who chased Zou Yang here. The little woodcutter sent someone to follow Zou Yang secretly, and when he found Zou Yang's foothold, he rushed over non-stop to capture this kid alive, and he knew what kind of Qi family person ran out.

The Qi family, one of the four major families of the Ming Dynasty, is located in the southwest, making a living from overseas trade. The Qi family also privately raises family soldiers, and in the southwest, it can be regarded as a master who will shake the ground if they stomp their feet, and it makes sense to be arrogant.

On an equal footing with the Qi family, there are also Jinling Jin families, and I heard that they have something to do with the royal family and have countless fertile fields. The southern potters were engaged in the business of silk, rouge and gouache. The Xue family in the north made a living from the salt and iron trade of horses. The private soldiers, collectively known as the four major families of the Ming Dynasty, are famous in the Ming Dynasty.

"Dare to ask who the girl is? Qi Laoliu, the second housekeeper of the Qi family in the southwest of the Xiaxi Dynasty, was fortunate to see the girl, I hope the girl will not be blamed for what happened just now, as long as the girl does not interfere in this matter, my master will definitely be grateful. "Qi Lao Liu is not a stupid person, he knows that he is not an opponent when he looks at the momentum and number of people of the other party, and he has two purposes for what he says, the first is to know who the other party is, even if he can't successfully kill Qi Yu today, the master can ask and report the name of the master Who is making trouble, and the second is that I hope to use the name of the Southwest Qi family to make the other party have scruples, it is best not to meddle in this matter.

"What? Do you want revenge or threaten me? Just because your Southwest Qi family is not worthy of knowing my name and origin. The little woodcutter sneered

"I don't care about the Qi family's dog's family, I'm going to decide these two people today, if you know each other, hurry up, don't wait for your aunt and grandmother to be in a bad mood, leave all of you to feed the dogs." The little woodcutter looked disdainful and didn't even look at the sixth child

"Okay, good, girl, you are ruthless, Qi Yu, you have good luck today. Girl, I admit it to the sixth child, we don't turn around, I will truthfully report this matter to our master, and there will be a period later, let's go. Qi Lao Liu waved his hand, his face turned blue and white, and he turned his head and said viciously to Qi Yu

"Hmph, don't say I won't give you a chance, I'll count to ten If anyone stays here, then don't leave. The little woodcutter flicked his sleeves, and the black-clothed men behind him collectively drew their swords and faced each other, which was very majestic. It can be seen that although the little woodcutter is very hard, he still doesn't want to easily offend this Southwest Qi family.

"Let's go!"

Qi Laoliu gritted his teeth and took the people away.

"Hehe, little thief, I see where you are running today, I have sent people to surround all sides, even if you are treacherous like a ghost, don't want to leave. After seeing Qi Lao Liu leaving, the little woodcutter's face changed in an instant, as if he saw the enemy who killed his father, and pointed at Zou Yang and shouted

"Thank you for the girl's life-saving grace, the girl's bodhisattva heart, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter. Girl, great good man, I and my slave once again thank the girl for saving her life. The coming day will be a good reward, so I won't disturb the girl to see the scenery, ghost slave, let's go. Zou Yang snorted and was about to leave, but the fool didn't leave, and if he didn't leave, he would probably be eaten raw by this perverted woman

"Hmph, is this girl's words a deaf ear? Someone, cut off the ears and mouth of this shameless thief for me. ”

"Yes, Miss"

A group of tiger-like black-clothed people jumped vertically or jumped to instantly surround Zou Yang and the green-faced old man. The frightened Peng Peng's eyes turned left and right, and he seemed to want to get rid of Zou Yang, a scourge, so that he could run away.

"Dog, I just turned my face in the face of a slave, believe it or not, I took your donkey's life before they hacked me to death. Zou Yang trembled violently in Peng Pengdu, knowing that he couldn't achieve good results today, so he simply jumped off the donkey.

"Girl, the two of us are old acquaintances, and even if there is any holiday, it is because you snatched my things first. You still have to hunt down and kill others to rob people's things, is there any reason in this world?" Zou Yang looked at the little woodcutter with a questioning tone

"Hmph, talk to this girl about reasoning, let your tongue be a lotus, today will be the place where you die. The little woodcutter was unmoved

What a powerful little girl, don't give yourself any chance at all, is my life so bitter, and I will be reincarnated before my hair grows, Zou Yang said in his heart.

"This girl is not a cruel and murderous person, you can leave a last word, this girl will try to promise you, who will make this girl kind-hearted, haha" The little woodcutter who raised his hands and laughed at the sky was a demon in Zou Yang's heart

"Really, I'll promise to bring it up?" Zou Yang asked cautiously

"Of course, this girl promises everything she wants. The little woodcutter replied firmly

"Let me go," Zou Yang pleaded with a sudden change of face

"Hmm, kill him," the little woodcutter pointed to Zou Yang, as if a raging fire was burning in his eyes

"Wait!" Zou Yang hurriedly stopped

"Girl, is there anything you can't discuss? In this way, I promise you three requests, as long as it doesn't violate your conscience, how about it?" Zou Yang suddenly straightened his waist and said in a deep voice

"Hmph, it's up to you, do you have the qualifications?" the little woodcutter looked disdainful

"Do you have this qualification, I will come up with two questions, and the girl will calculate it in the world, and I will admit it, how about it?" Zou Yang said

"Okay, I'm afraid you won't make it. Looking at Zou Yang's confident face, the little woodcutter chuckled in his heart, but he couldn't wipe his face and was curious to see what this ugly ghost could do.

"Okay, talk fast, listen up. Three craftsmen weave 90 bamboo baskets in five hours, and how many craftsmen do you need to complete 540 bamboo baskets in ten hours?" Zou Yang said seriously

When Zou Yang said this question, the black-clothed people behind the little woodcutter were collectively stunned, and they desperately showed their composure, but the doubts in their eyes betrayed them.

"Don't worry, I'll wait slowly, Xiao Er, make a cup of tea and bring a stool. Zou Yang said with a grin

"Master, are nine people right?" When Zou Yang said this math problem in the third grade of primary school, the grimaceous old man next to him instantly said the answer in Zou Yang's ear, which made Zou Yang surprised, talent,

Suddenly, the ghost-faced old man changed his senses for a while.

The "nine" little woodcutter firmly reported the figures

"That's right, but I've just finished drinking this cup of tea, I'm sorry, you lost the first question. Zou Yang sat on the stool and slowly put down the cup, in fact, Zou Yang was cheating, this little woodcutter is not bad, less than half a cup of tea is calculated, and it is already very powerful in the era when mathematics is not yet developed in the Ming Dynasty. It's a pity that Zou Yang deliberately drank tea faster, and the little woodcutter didn't know it when he was yin.

"Okay, please talk about the second question. The little woodcutter said with an indignant face, but his heart was also shocked by Zou Yang's intelligence.

"Okay, this question gives you time for a cup of tea, listen well, the second question, the price of rice is: one tael of silver per catty, four taels of silver per five catties, and seven taels of silver per nine catties. Xiao Zhao's money is at most and can buy 50 catties, and Xiao Li's money can buy 500 catties at most. Zou Yang looked at the little woodcutter with a smile and said

"Why is rice so expensive?" asked the little woodcutter with sudden curiosity

"Hmm, Miss, I'm asking a question, do you care if you pay more than a pound of rice? I said a pound and a tael, a pound and a tael. Don't bother, answer the questions quickly. Zou Yang said impatiently

"Oh," the little woodcutter suddenly replied obediently by Zou Yang's momentum of a teaching gentleman

"I didn't expect the master to be proficient in arithmetic, and the master is talented. The blue-faced old man admired

"Pediatrics, Pediatrics," Zou Yang said modestly

"Three hundred taels, right, master?" After about two quarters of an hour, the blue-faced old man suddenly asked in a whisper

"Shhhh

"350 taels" Just when the blue-faced old man just said the number of silver taels, the little woodcutter also replied quickly

"Yes, yes, congratulations girl, Bing Xue is smart, you got it right. But now two quarters of an hour have passed, and I am willing to lose the bet, does the girl believe in her word?" Zou Yang said calmly, in fact, Zou Yang was not sure whether this little woodcutter would be ashamed and untrustworthy to click him and the green-faced old man, and his little heart kept pounding but he didn't dare to show it at all.

"..... good, the little girl is willing to gamble and lose, but I didn't expect you, a thief, to have a few more talents. I said I'd let you go, but I didn't say when, did I?" the little woodcutter's eyes swollen and he suddenly laughed

"I'll go, okay, count you ruthless. Zou Yang immediately jumped off the stool, pointed at the little woodcutter and looked at the man in black, and was stunned.

"Do the three promises you promised me count?" asked the little woodcutter with a questioning expression

"Of course, I'm not like some people, manly husbands, who say the same. Zou Yang was obviously angry

Then I have another question for you now.
