There is a very cliché saying that a promise is a debt.

Zhang Zhan looked at himself, he was already in debt, and there was no possibility of turning over.

Because all the women he had promised to protect and protect are now gone.

Xiao Yuer, Gao Lingxuan, Xiaozhu, Xiaohui, Tang Huan.

What good women these are! But why are they so unfortunate in their life path, and they just run into a person named Zhang Remnant?

At this moment, Zhang Zhan felt even more that he should never be complacent!

Because when Zhang Zhan made such a promise, he felt that he had a certain amount of strength and capital, so he would make such a bold statement. However, God only needed one thought, and in an instant, Zhang Yan was left with nothing, and he could never recover.

He took Xiao Yu'er's ashes and walked slowly.

I used to think that the quality of this wooden box was very light, but now that I know what it is, its weight is almost so heavy that I can't stand up straight when I walk.

At the request of Xiao Yu'er's last wishes, she wanted to be buried in Lin'an and next to Mrs. Xiao. Of course, Zhang Chuan can work tirelessly day and night to cover thousands of miles in one day.

But he hesitated.

Maybe it's because he wants to stay with "Xiao Yuer" a little longer, even if it's just a little bit. Or maybe Zhang Yan was afraid that after returning to Lin'an, he couldn't bear to see Wan'er's disappointed and desperate look.

So, no matter what his reason is, Zhang Yan just wants to return to Lin'an slowly anyway.

There is another key, that is, Zhang Chuan wants to get drunk now.

However, before entering the city gate of Chengdu Mansion, Zhang Zhan realized a difficult point that was not light or serious-he didn't have a dime on him!

Of course, these are not worth embarrassing Zhang Yan, after all, he is not a particularly decent person in the first place. Now, it is even more free and easy. If it really doesn't work, he can pass by a mansion and pick up some yellow and white things, these disdainful behaviors of righteous men and gentlemen will not have any psychological burden on Zhang Zhan.

Realizing that he was penniless, he first laughed out loud as if he were out of town. In fact, he couldn't figure out, whether he was laughing at himself for being a master but being so poor, or laughing at himself for being a master, but he couldn't even protect the people around him.

It wasn't until he laughed that his voice was a little hoarse, and then he looked at a no-man's land and flew over the high walls of Chengdu Mansion.

The land of Bashu, because of its unique topography, can be regarded as the Pure Land that has been affected by the least war in Middle Earth.

It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it can compete for hegemony in the world, and it can be cut off and become the king when it retreats. The people who live here are rarely affected by the smoke of war, and every family is quite imposing, and it looks quite rich and rich.

Of course, this does not mean that Bashu cannot be captured, whether it is the Qin State, the early Han Dynasty and the late Han Dynasty, and Zhao Kuangyin, the founder of the Great Song Dynasty, they have all conquered and conquered Shu.

However, this premise is that the country is rich and the people are strong, and the soldiers use their lives to strengthen the soldiers and horses. Otherwise, the idle laborers will mobilize the people, and the pure fragmentation will be the loss of labor and money, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Therefore, after a long period of recuperation, when Zhang Yan stepped into Chengdu Mansion, his first thought was to feel that the prosperity of Chengdu Mansion may be higher than that of Lin'an, the national capital.

He didn't use any clever skills, but inquired about where the earliest "talent market" was. Then he took a big stride and walked in that direction.

This can be regarded as Zhang Can's first experience of looking for a job.

Although Zhang Yan has never looked in the mirror, he doesn't know what he looks like now. But the hands that were as transparent as marble let Zhang Jian know that in the eyes of many people, he might be equivalent to a white-faced scholar who had no power to restrain his hands, and he was by no means a person who worked with labor.

Many owners just glanced at Zhang Yan casually, and no one came up to ask him anything.

Of course, Zhang Chuan had a way, and said loudly: "Is there a caravan to Lin'an?

Not to mention, with such a shout, naturally someone will notice Zhang Yan.

Soon, a middle-aged man with a mustache, small eyes and chubby, looking at his outfit, looked like a master, and came to Zhang Remnant.

After looking Zhang Remnant up and down, the man asked, "Is the real reward dispensable?"

Zhang Yan smiled and said: "This benevolent brother, the essence of business is nothing more than to sit down and start the price, you can also repay the money on the ground, there are things to discuss, why bother to make a hammer deal?"

The master immediately shook his head: "Then forget it!"

This guy is so stingy!

Zhang Yan secretly scolded himself, chased after him in only two steps, and said with a smile: "Okay! The remuneration is dispensable, but you need to have meat and wine for a while!"

The master-like figure was a little satisfied, but he still looked at Zhang Yan's white face and asked with some hesitation, "Can you do manual work?"

Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I was born with a hard life. ”

The master obviously didn't believe it, because today's Zhang Remnant, with that smooth and flawless face, looks like a pampered rich son!

However, the master had his own plans, so he said sullenly: "We just lack a porter! If you can endure this hardship, come with me! If you can't endure this hardship and want to run away in the middle of the middle, find someone else as soon as possible!"

Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry! Zhang has always been a person who has a beginning and an end!"

The master was satisfied, held his big belly, and beckoned: "Then come with me!"

Not to mention, at least this food is quite rich, and it does have wine and meat. Although the meat is just meat foam, and the wine is also the most inferior and coarse, Zhang Yan doesn't care.

He had already approached Bigu before, and it didn't hurt to wait for ten days and a half without sleep, food, or drink. Now that there is wine and meat, it is impossible for him to complain about life.

Actually, to put it bluntly, men are like this, lazy and easily satisfied. Just like Zhang Remnant now, he is alone and has no worries. So even if he is penniless and poor, for Zhang Zhan, it is only the difference between whether he drinks with pickles or beef, and it does not affect any of his mood at all.

It is only when he falls in love with a girl that a man deeply feels the inferiority that poverty brings.

Early the next morning, Zhang Remnant was called up by his master from the thatched pile, and then took Zhang Remnant to the compound.

There were about a dozen people in the courtyard, and they all looked like men who often did hard labor. These men were very strong, and the dark muscles, which were exposed by frequent labor, were far less beautiful and ornamental than those exercised by the machinery of the gym.

"Let's go!"

Zhang Yan weighed it, he didn't know what was in this flat arm, even for ordinary people, its weight was not too heavy.

Only those who work in the face of the rising sun are the hardest working people.

However, in general, people who work in the morning sun are often the people with the lowest income.

It's really a weird correlation and cause and effect.

After walking out of the compound, Zhang Yan noticed that there were five carriages outside the door.

Four of them were loaded with tightly wrapped goods, and the first one was the sedan car of the "master's family".

The sedan chair, like the cargo, is tightly wrapped. If Zhang Chuan had a heart, he could naturally find out, but he didn't do anything more, just honestly carried the flat burden.

"Hey, little brother, new here?"

The porter who was side by side with Zhang Yan looked like a talkative person.

He was about a year old, although his face was rough and dark, but when he smiled, he gave people a good impression of simplicity with white teeth.

Zhang Zan's name was also smiling: "My name is Zhang Zan, what do you call my eldest brother?"

"My name is Wang Dagou!" Wang Dagou didn't think his name was ugly at all, but showed a mouthful of white teeth and said with a smile at Zhang Yan.

I don't know where this saying came from, anyway, under the clouds, it seems to have become a law that poor families believe to be true, that is, the lower the name given to their children, the more they should not insult the ears of the superior, and the more likely they are to soar in the future.

So in ancient times, just by listening to the name, it was easy to judge what a person's family background was.

This is the trend of the old times.

The remnant and the two dogs actually belong to the same category. So after hearing Zhang Zuo's name, this Wang Dagou had already classified Zhang Zuo as a person of the same class as him, and the friendliness on Wang Dagou's face was even stronger.

Of course, in today's society, it is no longer so superstitious. When parents choose names for their children, they pay more attention to melodious, catchy and poetic.

This is the trend of the day.

However, I think that the trend of swarming is actually nothing to pursue.

If you don't believe it, such as Shihan, Mengqi, Junhao, Ruofan, etc., etc., twenty years later, they may be as popular as the ancient big dog, Dasha, Erque, etc., etc. At that time, when I shouted Shihan on the street, I was sure that several people would turn back at the same time: "Who is calling me?"

"Have you started a family?"

Zhang Yan nodded: "Got married." ”

"Oh, do you have a baby?"

Of course Wang Dagou didn't know, his words made Zhang Yan evoke countless painful memories.

Zhang Chuan doesn't blame him, this is his unintentional mistake, and the so-called ignorant are not guilty. Of course, Zhang Zhan would never think that he was kind and really cared about his life. It's nothing more than that Wang Dagou just wants to find someone who can talk to him on a slow long road to relieve his boredom.

However, at this moment, Zhang Yan had the understanding of some masters: not to mention the masters before this, let's just say that in today's world, such as Dongying Sword Saint and Yin Yang Immortal Master, they seem so transcendent?

Those masters who stand at the pinnacle of humanity are not indifferent and ruthless, but simply see through the essence.

Zhang Yan smiled: "There is also." ”

"Where's Brother Wang?"

In order to prevent Wang Dagou from asking questions, Zhang Yan simply preemptively attacked.

At this moment, it was completely opened to Wang Dagou's chatterbox, and he chattered endlessly to Zhang Dian about his story.

Roughly speaking, he grew up eating hundreds of family meals since his father died and his mother had no mother. In the stumbling growth, good things have been done, bad things have been done, and there have been bumpy experiences in prison.

Then he spit out his bitterness to Zhang Remnant, saying that he was brutally abused in the cell, and the cell bosses tortured him like a dead dog.

Zhang Yan nodded: "Then why did Brother Wang go to rob the money?"

Wang Dagou didn't see how sad he was, and said with a smile: "When I was a child, I would always be hungry and full." In order to pull me up, my sister also wants me to grow up well, and I can have something to do in the future, so of course she will be even more underfed and clothed! Alas, she left too many sick roots, and when she died, I just wanted to buy her a better coffin, but I didn't expect that the money was not grabbed, but after I was released from prison, my sister's body would have long been unknown to which wild dog's belly!"

Zhang Yan was silent for a while, Wang Dagou may also feel that this topic is a little heavy, he wanted to stop and not mention it, but in the end he couldn't help but add: "It's a pity that I have been until now, and I don't have any big prospects......"

Zhang Yan could only smile and say: "Brother Wang is alive and healthy, and he has a family, I believe that the ancestors are in the spirit of the sky, and there will be no regrets." ”

Wang Dagou snorted, and said with a smile: "She is really sorry, and I can't do anything!"

Wang Dagou changed the flat shoulder, and then asked a little strangely: "Brother Zhang doesn't seem to have changed his shoulders much, is it the first time to pick up the flat shoulder?"

Seeing Zhang Yan nodding, Wang Dagou smiled and said, "Hurry up and change your shoulders! Otherwise, you may feel nothing now, but after one night, it will definitely hurt so much that you have to frown twice even when you inhale!"

Zhang Yan didn't say much, so he changed his shoulder according to what he said.

"Brother Zhang isn't a local, is he?"

In this way, Zhang Yan chatted with Wang Dagou, you and me, sentence by sentence.

In general, the course of this conversation, 99.9999 percent of it, is nonsense that is neither meaningful nor nutritious. However, Zhang Zhan still thinks that it is very fresh.

Zhang Zhan has lived in the Taishan faction since he can remember, and he can become a disciple of the Taishan faction. Even such a background is actually more superior than the second generation of officials of some small sesame officials.

Later, Zhang Zhan either came into contact with people in the rivers and lakes who were fighting with swords, or soldiers in the military camp who were waiting for him, and in Shangjing, he came into contact with high-ranking officials and nobles.

Anyway, like Wang Dagou, who can be regarded as the lowest group of people in life, Zhang Yan really has no experience in dealing with him.

Between him and Wang Dagou, what vulgar and obscene words, Zhang Yan found that he even came with his mouth open, and there was no psychological barrier at all. And Wang Dagou not only didn't feel that Zhang Zan's rudeness, but also showed a kind of interest in seeing each other late, which made Zhang Zan's become a little unscrupulous.

Many years later, Zhang Zhan realized that in fact, this journey filled a gap in Zhang Zhan's life and made Zhang Zhan more complete.

Cultivation is the cultivation of the mind.

Yes, this short journey did not bring any substantial benefits to Zhang Zhan, it was nothing more than letting Zhang Zhan experience the experience of being a "subordinate person" and enriching Zhang Zhan's life experience.

However, Zhang Zhan felt that this kind of experience was like the scabbard of an incomparably sharp and indestructible divine sword, and it was useless against the enemy.

However, it is an inseparable part of the so-called "indestructible sharpness".
