Chapter 8: Apprenticeship at the Inn

"Smack. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info" A whip sounded, and a carriage sped past with the sound. The people in the car were Mayor Sun and Wang Dong's father and son, and of course, half of the carriage's luggage.

"Old Sun, it's been half a day's work. I think it's not far away, right?" Wang Dong was also a little bored after sitting in this narrow carriage for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking.

"Ah Dong, it's not far, look at this location, it should be five or six miles away. I just don't know how Xiaowen's kid has been recently, if he still refuses to practice hard at the head of the Iron Sect, it is estimated that he will suffer a lot. Mayor Sun's mind was not in the car, and he had already drifted to his son.

But then Sun Wen really made him feel uneasy. Since he was a child, he has invited some retired masters of the dart game to teach him martial arts, Sun Wen is indeed a martial arts wizard, and what moves are handed over to him will be played the next day. But that temperament, I don't know who to follow, so I love to ridicule people.

He is very fast-improving, quick to get started with moves, has a flexible brain, and knows how to be flexible.

Once he's learned the moves, he'll soon figure out how to crack them. Then, when I was practicing, I unexpectedly used a cracking method, and I often directly broke through the defenses of those masters.

What's even more annoying is that he also used that stupid face to put on a surprised look and asked, "Didn't they say that you are very good?" The town invited a number of masters who were all angry and ran away, and when they left, they didn't take a penny, saying that they had no ability to guide.

No, in order for the child to get ahead, Mayor Sun also went out, sold a house in the family, and spent 300 taels of silver to send Sun Wen to the most famous Tiejia Martial Arts Hall in the county, hoping to get ahead in the county town and become a dragon.

There is indeed a gap between the gate of the county town and the town, and it is not allowed to drive horses in the city, and it is necessary to undergo routine inspections at the city gate. After reporting the source and registering, the driver finally entered the county seat smoothly.

didn't go directly to the martial arts hall, this time Wang Dong only borrowed a hundred taels of silver, and the training in the martial arts hall also needed to inquire about the price. All the people chose to go to an inn for a while.

The county town was bustling, crowds of people, the roadside was full of hawkers, and the coachmen did not dare to raise their whips, so they had to shout over and over again to the people in front of them to pay attention to safety. After a while, the carriage came to an ordinary inn.

The innkeeper was very clever, and he saw the coachman stop from a distance, and hurriedly came over to introduce the price and settle the carriage and horses. A few people felt that the price was right, and they also came down and started to carry their luggage. At this moment, a rickety figure walked by.

Xiao Er looked at it, and an unkempt old beggar with a drunken body and a stinking smell was almost about to hit him. Hurriedly covered his nose and flashed to the side, but he didn't know that next to him were the two horses he was leading.

He stepped on the horse's hoof, tilted his body, and fell to the ground. The horse was startled by this, and with a long "Yu" sound, his hooves jumped high, and the landing point was the shopkeeper who fell to the ground.

It was too late, it was fast, Wang Meng, who had just finished his luggage, happened to stay in front of the carriage, he knelt on one knee, and his hands firmly caught the falling hooves, and at the same time, with a force, he pushed the carriage back half a meter and put the horse's hooves down.

The shopkeeper escaped death, and after a while, he was afraid, and couldn't help but look angrily at the beggar who almost killed him before.

The beggar just glanced up, and the shopkeeper was forced back with anger in his stomach, and he actually panicked in his heart. He led his horse briskly to the stable, and when he saw that the old beggar did not look at him, he began to curse quietly.

The old beggar walked up to Wang Meng step by step: "Young man, your strength is not small!

Others didn't know, but when Wang Meng knelt on one knee just now, he saw that the old beggar who was jumping up with the horse's hooves had a gleam in his eyes, and his body leaned forward slightly. Wang Meng believes that even if he doesn't make a move, the shopkeeper will not be fine.

didn't dare to despise it at the moment, hugged his fists and said: "Exactly, I came to the county seat just to find a martial arts hall to learn art." β€œ

The old beggar nodded, but went straight on, without even looking back.

Mayor Sun looked at the beggar's walking posture step by step: "But it's a strange person." β€œ

Wang Dong seemed to be a little jealous: "This person is not like ordinary people, so don't talk about it behind your back." β€œ

Several people chose two guest rooms, one for Wang Dong and his son, and one for the coachman and Mayor Sun. A few people settled down.

Mayor Sun was worried about his son, so he didn't eat and went directly to the Tiejia Martial Arts Hall to visit his son. The remaining three had some lunch on the first floor, and asked Xiao Er about some martial arts hall fees by the way.

Maybe it was because Wang Meng saved his life, Xiao Er was very affectionate: "Few, I don't dare to say anything else if you want to ask, I will ask the right person about this martial arts hall." If you want to say that the best comparison doesn't need to be compared, it is definitely the Tiejia Martial Arts Hall. The owner of the pavilion, Tie Shiyong, is good at using the meteor hammer and knows 16 kinds of exercises, if it weren't for the filial piety of his father in the past three years, it is estimated that he would have entered the Divine Eagle Guard of Xuanyun Mansion a long time ago. He is the only person in our county who has trained his internal strength. β€œ

"The other three families were stronger than the Tie family before, but after Tie Shiyong came back to guard filial piety, they didn't dare to talk much, these three families are the Wei family, the Zhang family, and the Song family. Every year, the ranking is one thing, and on the other hand, Xuanyun Mansion will send people to select the outstanding ones to join the Xuanwei Army. Each selected Xuanwei Army will give its family some resources, and the martial arts hall can take a cut of this resource, which is almost equivalent to a default rule. For a large Tie family, an excellent teenager is the only way they can get back face from the Tie family. β€œ

However, the Tie family's approach was very strange, and instead increased the training fee, from the previous one hundred taels to three hundred taels, and non-gifted teenagers were not charged. Strange things are happening. The more this is the case, the more willing the big families in each town are to send the outstanding family children to the Tie family, and for a while, the Tie family has almost recruited talented young people in the county, and even made a lot of money. Of course, since then, other companies have also increased the price of training, but this year, the quality and quantity of the number of people received by the three companies are far less than in previous years. The biggest winner of this year's Dabi is very likely to fall into the hands of the Iron Family. β€œ

Xiao Er was talking, but Wang Dong's father and son were stunned. If it is as this little two said, then Wang Dong's father and son, who only brought one hundred taels of silver, seem to have not enough money, even if they ask the mayor to borrow again, the mayor will not be able to sell another house in a short time, and Wang Dong will definitely not be able to mention this kind of request.

"In addition to these martial arts halls, where else can I teach people to learn martial arts?" Wang Dong was not good at mentioning the lack of money, and asked euphemistically if there was a compromise plan.

"You are stupid, if you want to learn martial arts seriously, only the martial arts hall is the best place to go. Those private martial artists, nine times out of ten, are deceitful, even if there are some small means, they are far from being as good as ・・・・・・・・・Hey, Wang Gongzi, where are you going?" Xiao Er was talking with relish, Wang Meng suddenly got up and rushed towards the door of the inn.

At the door, an old beggar wanted to come in, but a group of porters stopped him from entering, and they were noisy for a while.

"Old thing, if you have money, don't come in if you don't have money!"

The beggar didn't care, just went inside.

"If you have the money to take it out, I didn't beat you to death a few times before, and I dare to come today. β€œ

When Wang Meng saw this, he immediately shouted, "You let him in, I have taken care of the old man's food." When the porters saw that they had been invited, they dispersed.

The old beggar squinted at him: "You want to invite me?" and staggered to the place where Wang Meng was sitting before and sat down.

Wang Meng picked up a cup of tea: "Old man, I want to ask you to teach me martial arts." Wang Dong frowned, as if he thought of something, but did not speak.

The old beggar didn't seem to hear. called a pot of wine, but the little two were timid and afraid of things, and didn't dare to speak, so they took the wine directly.

The old beggar turned around and said, "It's no problem for me to train you, I wish someone could let me train, as long as you dare." But I still have to ask, how do you know that I will definitely do martial arts?"

Wang Meng paused: "If I hadn't been on the kid at that time, then Xiao Er would definitely have been saved by the old gentleman!"

The old beggar smiled: "It's kind of interesting." Two conditions!" The old beggar poured a sip of the wine that Xiao Er had just taken.

Wang Dong also saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Old gentleman, please speak." β€œ

"One, don't give up halfway!"

Wang Meng nodded immediately.

The old beggar suddenly showed a strange smile, opened his mouth and laughed twice: "Okay, this second condition ・・・・・・・"

Raised the wine in his hand: "You paid for the daily wine money." β€œ

The three-month wine money is no more than twenty taels, and the cheap master looks like it is deeply hidden. Wang Dong immediately got up: "Deal!"

Wang Meng thanked and said, "Thank you, old man, for making it perfect!"

"What do you call me?"

"Thank you, Master!"
