3. Enemy attack
"I'm a person who is floating around, no relatives, no friends, I only know how to use the sword in my hand, constantly killing enemies, after a long time, I'm also tired, maybe it's time to change my way of life, do business? Maybe it's good, right?"
What Xiao Zhihan didn't expect was that Wang Cai's jade pendant was worth sixteen taels of silver, which was two years of income for ordinary people. After selling the jade pendant, Wang Cai took the silver and walked forward with a smile.
"Boss, don't you know the saying that wealth is not exposed?" Xiao Zhihan couldn't help asking.
Wang Cai asked, "What's that?" Xiao Zhihan said: "Just don't show others if you have money, otherwise there will be bad people to rob you." Wang Cai smiled: "What am I afraid of with you? Besides, that is what only people without courage do, and if I Wang Cai dares to come out of the village, I dare to expose my wealth to others, because I want to be a rich person." ”
Xiao Zhihan smiled faintly, although this boss is unreliable and unreliable, but his ideas are not ordinary, his actions seem to be unworldly, but he shows his courage, even he doesn't know why, the first time they met, they were attracted by his strange style of acting, as a swordsman, but he followed him.
"Boss, I have a suggestion. ”
"You say. ”
"Your name is so ugly, it's like a dog, you're going to do business, and people will laugh at it. ”
Wang Cai thought for a while and said: "That's right, Pang Ye's dog is called Wangcai, and this place you brought me here, many dogs are called Wangcai, I think it's time to change the name, and the suggestion is adopted." ”
Xiao Zhihan smiled again, and said in his heart: "This kid, do you really think it's my boss? I want to see what kind of dirt bun you can mix, if you waste my time, I will kill you with one sword." ”
"Cheng Quartet, how about the name? I want to do business in all kinds of places, and I want to be successful, so I call it Cheng Quartet. ”
"It's still so old-fashioned, and you've even changed your last name. ”
Wang Cai smiled: "Don't care about these details, I will call it Quartet in the future, take a walk, and start looking for the first business!" Looking at Cheng Sifang's back, Xiao Zhihan couldn't help but think, "Which tendon is wrong with me?
Xiao Zhihan followed Cheng Sifang around several times in this small village in Ping County, Henan, and ate two bowls of Yangchun noodles from the same family, but Cheng Sifang still didn't look like he was going to do business. Sitting at the table of this noodle restaurant for the third time, Xiao Zhihan asked, "Boss, do you know how to do business?"
Cheng Sifang hugged his head and said, "No, I turned around a few times, and I don't know where to start." Xiao Zhihan crawled on the table with a "bang", and it took him a long time to wake up from the state of the blindfold, coughed, and said: "Cough, the most basic business is to buy low and sell high." ”
Cheng Quartet was stunned: "Buy low and sell high?"
"Yes, although this small village is small, there are also business opportunities, for example, the pens here are very cheap, but they are very useful, if you can buy a batch, then ......"
"I see!" Cheng Sifang slapped the table, stood up, and asked, "Do you know where there are the most literati?" Xiao Zhihan was stunned: "Literati? It should be Yecheng, why are you asking this?"
"Hey, hey. Cheng Sifang said with a smile: "The brush here is easy to use, so I will take the brush from this place and sell it in the place where there are the most literati, and it will definitely be easy to sell." ”
Xiao Zhihan shook his head: "No, no, although I said so, but I'm just giving an example, this is Pingxian, hundreds of miles away from Yecheng, there are wars, transportation is inconvenient, and the locals in Yecheng also make brushes, although there are many literati there, but they all buy pens locally, your pen in the past, even if it is a good thing, but it will also fail because the competition is too strong." Xiao Zhihan paused, and then said: "Boss, although you can understand it at all, but the way of selling pens, let's give up, how about a different way?"
Cheng Sifang said: "No, my first business is to sell pens." After that, he asked the noodle shop, "Where do you sell pens here?"
Xiao Zhihan looked at Cheng Sifang, sighed, and said in his heart: "It seems that this guy really doesn't understand at all, forget it, anyway, he has a lot of money, so he should spend money to buy a lesson." ”
After purchasing the pen, Cheng Sifang said happily: "Let's set off to Yecheng!" Xiao Zhihan roared angrily: "What have you done?" Cheng Sifang said in a daze: "What are you doing? ”
"I know, but you ......" Xiao Zhihan pointed to a large basket of pens, the basket was densely packed, and there were two hundred pens: "Why did you spend eight taels of silver to buy so many pens? The capital was lost half of it all at once, and there was also our travel fee to Yecheng, and you still have to give me the premium, who is responsible for transportation? If it can't be sold, then what should you do? Have you considered these things?"
Cheng Sifang patted his head: "Ah, I really haven't thought about these things." Then he smiled again: "But that can't be sold, as for transportation......" Cheng Quartet mentioned the basket, the basket seemed to come to life, and easily climbed on the shoulders of Cheng Sifang, and the transportation problem was solved. Cheng Sifang said with a smile: "I haven't worked for nothing since I was a child, and this thing is not difficult for me." Then he gave Xiao Zhihan a tael of silver and said, "This is your premium, there is not much money this month, I will do it first, and I will add you when I earn money." ”
Xiao Zhihan took the two pieces of silver in a daze, and his face twitched: "I have lost a tael of capital...... Cheng Quartet didn't care what Xiao Zhihan's expression was, he only said: "Go to Yecheng!" Xiao Zhihan followed behind Cheng Sifang, and said in his heart: "It's settled, it's a waste of my time, if you lose it, I will definitely kill you, definitely!"
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the heroes rose together, there were wars everywhere, the people were displaced, and the water was in dire straits, and the suffering was unspeakable. In this chaotic situation, even the official road is not peaceful. From Pingxian to Yecheng, the road is more than 600 miles, due to the war, can not hire a car at all, Cheng Sifang and Xiao Zhihan had to walk, Cheng Sifang did not expect that this road is so far away, carrying a basket of brushes, only forty miles in a day, not in front of the village, not in the back of the store, only to cover the sky for the home, sleeping on the streets.
Cheng Sifang skillfully raised the fire, how to survive in the wild, and often scurried in the mountains, which is the basic skill that Cheng Sifang has long been familiar with. Xiao Zhihan saw that the Quartet was skillful, and couldn't help but jump his eyebrows: "You still have two more moments." Cheng Sifang said: "That's nature, otherwise how dare I come out of the village?" Saying that, Cheng Sifang frowned: "It's just that it's difficult to eat, in my hometown, there is food all over the mountains, this place is ......"
Xiao Zhihan said: "This is no problem. Xiao Zhihan's gaze turned into a sharp blade and searched in all directions. Cheng Sifang kept his eyes open, just wanting to see how Xiao Zhihan got food. Suddenly, the cold light flashed, and I saw a white light attacking behind the rock on the side, touching the rock, and with a "bang", the rock moved, and the sword light dissipated: "Go and get it." Xiao Zhihan took the sword and pointed behind the rock. Cheng Quartet was stunned: "What is it?" Full of curiosity, he walked over, and looked behind the rock, and a weasel was already asleep.
Cheng Sifang exclaimed: "How did you do it at such a long distance?" Xiao Zhihan looked proud: "Pour your whole body into the blade of the sword as much as possible, and use the sword to emit sword energy, the two robbers who were going to kill you that day were affected by my move, and they saved you by chance." Xiao Zhi's chill was still unfinished, and he continued: "To do this, first fill the air pockets, swim from Shaosanyang to Tianmen, and then fall from Tianmen to the middle of the body...... Cheng Quartet hurriedly said: "Stop, stop, I don't understand what you say, let's deal with this weasel quickly." ”
The two of them set out to deal with the weasel, the pyre crackling in the flames and jumping out of the sparks.
"Whew!" With the moonlight, there was a sudden wolf howl, Cheng Sifang didn't take it to heart, but Xiao Zhihan frowned. After Cheng Quartet released the weasel's blood, he saw Xiao Zhihan's solemn expression and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Xiao Zhihan said: "How can there be wolves in this place? It is clear that there are people who raise them, and there are only ...... people who raise wolves."
Before the words were finished, he killed a vote of people from the path leading to the mountain road in the east, leading four wolves, Xiao Zhihan was quick-sighted, counted them, there were more than 20 people, listening to the footsteps, among them there was only one master, Xiao Zhihan did not let go, because she heard the footsteps of another master, but not in this vote.
Cheng Quartet was taken aback: "Hit ...... Why did you let me run into it again?" Xiao Zhihan said: "In these years, it is not uncommon to encounter ten votes of robbery in one day. ”
The man led by the robbers shouted: "The two people in front, let go of the finances if you know each other, Lao Tzu will let you go, if you hesitate at all, Lao Tzu's big lance will not be merciful!" Lance, spear, is a kind of long soldier, generally used in immediate combat, the length of a person standing and raising his hand to stretch out so high, land combat is extremely inconvenient, but this person uses lance as a weapon, obviously has absolute confidence in his arm strength.
Xiao Zhihan smiled faintly: "However, fortunately, you hired me as a bodyguard, one or twenty people, no problem." Cheng Sifang is now thinking about only how to get rid of this group of robbers, if it can be solved peacefully, it is best, but seeing that this group of people is menacing, it is impossible to solve it peacefully, only wait for Xiao Zhihan to fight with them, and then find a way to get out.
Xiao Zhihan seemed to see through Cheng Quartet's thoughts, and said: "Boss, don't leave my side, there is a master watching us from nowhere, if you go away, I can't protect you." Cheng Sifang was stunned: "How does she know what I think?"
The man at the head shouted, "Did you hear that?" Xiao Zhi laughed coldly: "It's up to you, come on, let this girl exercise her muscles and bones!" Cheng Sifang complained bitterly in his heart: "I said bodyguard, your words are amplified! There are dozens of people on the other side!"
Xiao Zhihan glanced at everyone, and said in his heart: "You must fight quickly, otherwise the life of this soil bun will be difficult to protect." When the robber at the head heard Xiao Zhihan say this, he was naturally annoyed: "You stinky bitch dare to look down on us? The twenty or so people each raised their weapons and rushed towards Xiao Zhihan. The leader shouted, "Take their goods!" As soon as the words fell, the four people who led the wolf pounced in all directions.
Cheng Sifang was shocked and shouted, "Help me!" couldn't help but take a few steps back, Xiao Zhihan shouted, "Don't move!" Cheng Sifang really stopped his steps backwards, and instead moved closer to Xiao Zhihan. Xiao Zhihan smiled, nodded, Cheng Sifang suddenly saw a flower in front of him, Xiao Zhihan was no longer in front of him, Cheng Sifang still thought that he was dazzled, rubbed his eyes and saw that Xiao Zhihan had actually entered the enemy formation in an instant, the sword light was like a dragon and a snake dance, passing beautifully from everyone's body, and more than a dozen people in that formation fell, all of them were covered with colors, and the blood did not stop.
The four people leading the wolf have already pounced behind Cheng Sifang, Cheng Sifang saw that Xiao Zhihan's swordsmanship was exquisite, and he was already stunned, where would he notice the attack behind him? In front of him was a flower, Xiao Zhihan disappeared again, but he heard the four screams of "ahhhhhh The four wolves had already fled away in fright.
Xiao Zhihan solved twenty people in an instant, pointed his sword at the leading robbers, and said, "Now only you are left...... It's two of us. Xiao Zhihan knew that there was another person ambushed nearby, so he changed his sentence halfway.
"Good, good. A crisp and slow applause rang out, and another person walked out of the path, looked in all directions, and exclaimed, "Ah......! You are ......" This man is the one who let him go with a word when he first met Xiao Zhihan.
Xiao Zhihan frowned: "It turned out to be you, the north wind." He turned his head to Cheng Quartet and said, "Boss, you go farther, this person is not easy to deal with." Xiang Beifeng smiled: "Where, you are too modest, how can I be your opponent Xiang Beifeng?" Xiao Zhihan glanced at the leading robber again, only to see that he was holding a huge lance effortlessly, and once again confirmed that this person was not easy to deal with, and couldn't help asking, "Who are you?"
The leader of the robbers said: "Hmph, Lao Tzu is nonsense." Xiao Zhihan showed a smile on his face: "It's one of the top ten masters of Suomeitang again, it's good, it's good." Hu Kua said: "Xiao Zhihan, you have made my brother suffer a lot, and also made us lose a lot of face, today our brother will ask you back!"
"Hey, you're embarrassed that two big men are bullying a woman?"
The three of them were stunned when they heard it, and the person who spoke was Cheng Quartet.
