Chapter 4 Registration

As soon as the sky was dawning, Peng Yu got up. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info He has developed the habit of getting up early to read since he was a child, and now although there are no books to read, this habit has not changed. As the saying goes, "the early bird gets the worm", Peng Yu couldn't bear the hunger in his stomach, got up and put on a dried cotton jacket and went to the main street to find food.

Xicheng District is the wealthy area of Luocheng, and compared to the mixed fish and beads in the southern district, this urban area seems very quiet. There are few shops along the street, and most of them are where the general altar of some chambers of commerce and gangs is located, and the Juxinglong and Splendid Dart Bureaus among the three major forces in Luocheng are located here. Peng Yu hadn't been here before, just thinking about the Splendid Dart Bureau recruiting dart boys, so he came over to have a good time.

The splendid dart board is worthy of being one of the four big dart bureaus of Muwu, only the Luocheng branch covers an area of two or three hundred acres, two majestic stone lions of the town government on both sides of the door, a pair of black couplets are hung on the vermilion pillars, and the book "Heroes from all over the world, darts travel three rivers and four seas" twelve gilded characters, look solemn and magnificent.

Although it was still early, the sign at the door was already crowded with people, mostly ordinary people from the city and farmers from the countryside. A group of people pointed to the content on the board and talked about it, so it was not lively. Peng Yu leaned over and saw that it was a red recruitment notice. I saw that it was written: "After receiving this dart message, Luocheng Bureau District publicly recruited a number of apprentices." Years and ten to weak crowns, healthy people can be reported, the deadline is September 25, those who pass the test can become the dart game of the positive, can have many benefits. ”

A woodcutter-looking man sighed and said, "Today is the last day of registration, and I don't know if my family can apply for it this year." ”

The big fat man on the side looked disdainful: "Just your little black monkey, it's really a lazy toad who wants to eat swan meat, isn't the splendid dart game not something that people like you can enter." ”

The man didn't dare to contradict it, so he pulled his child and walked away. The little fat man spat in the direction of the man, pouted and scolded: "Stinky beggar." ”

Peng Yu was a little puzzled, and followed up and asked: "Uncle, my surname, I came from other places, I want to know from you that this apprentice can not everyone sign up for the assessment, does it still depend on the family background?"

The man is a big-mouthed and warm-hearted, and when he heard someone ask, he came and said: "My surname is Shi, this is my son Shizhu, little brother, you don't know anything about this." I go into the city every day to sell firewood, and I know a lot, this apprentice ......."

Peng Yu listened to the man's mouth foaming for a long time, and then he probably understood.

It turned out that the Splendid Dart Bureau not only provided food and lodging to the apprentices in the bureau, but also had two taels of silver per month to get and learn martial arts. After three years, you can pass the assessment and be promoted to a dart master, and you can follow the dart, and there is no problem in earning seventy or eighty taels of silver every year. You must know that now Luo Cheng only costs ten cents for a bowl of noodles, and two taels of silver can buy two hundred bowls.

Such a generous welfare attracts everyone to flock to it, and the number of applicants every year is full of thousands, but only twenty or thirty people can pass the assessment in the end, and the difficulty can be imagined. The children in the countryside who grew up playing with mud and doing rough work are inferior to those of rich and noble families who have been reading and practicing martial arts since childhood.

As soon as the time came, six people walked out of the dart game, led by a lean man in Tsing Yi, who said loudly to the chaotic crowd: "I, Lu Hongyi, the internal affairs manager of the Luocheng Bureau, are in charge of this recruitment. Registration starts immediately, please line up in turn to register, and those who pass can enter the bureau compound for assessment. After passing the assessment, he will be an apprentice of the dart bureau, and the dart bureau will provide room and board, and he will be paid two taels of silver per month."

A long table had been set up at the door, and the registrants soon formed a long line in front of the table.

Peng Yu was just here to join in the fun, and when he heard that as long as he passed the assessment, he would not only have food and shelter, but also a fortune to take, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. In the past, he didn't care about this at all, but in the current situation, two taels of silver is enough for himself to eat a good meal for a month.

The heart is moving, Peng Yu is not in a hurry, the hour is still early, wait and see for a while.

The first one to sign up was the fat man just now, with a little fat man with a tiger head and a tiger brain by his side. At this time, the fat man didn't have the arrogance just now, and he put a piece of silver on the table with some nervousness and said with a smile: "Manager Lu is hard, so be careful to buy you some wine to drink." ”

He turned his head and pulled the little fat man forward and said, "This is my boy, you can take a look." ”

Manager Na Lu was slightly angry, slapped the table and stood up, held up the ingot of silver and said loudly: "You folks may not know the reputation of the Splendid Dart Bureau, don't play these careful thoughts to me, and next time, you will be disqualified directly." ”

"Now the applicant will register the information on the roster in person, and no one else will be allowed to help. ”

The big fat man awkwardly retreated to the side, and the little fat man went up to fill in the name, address, relatives and other information by himself. Fortunately, the little fat man has read the book, and this level is passed.

Then Lu Hongyi said loudly again: "Xiangmai." ”

The same is a kind old man, the thin finger lightly put on the wrist of the little fat man, and after a while, he made a record on the roster.

"The pulse is disordered, the body is fat and the internal weakness is not suitable for martial arts. No, I don't pass!"

The big fat man looked annoyed and inconvenient, slapped the little fat man hard and scolded: "Let you know how to eat every day!"

Peng Yu was secretly speechless, he didn't expect the first one to fail, this registration is really not as simple as he imagined.

Peng Yu saw that the second child who signed up was black and thin, and his clothes were covered with mud and dust, thinking that he was a child from the countryside. I saw that the boy picked up the brush and looked at the roster for a while, and drew a few circles randomly.

Manager Lu next to him said loudly: "It's just nonsense, I can't read and hyphenation, I can't pass!"

"Yin and blood deficiency, dampness and evil resistance, don't pass!"

"Yin deficiency and fire are vigorous, and the blood is insufficient, so I don't pass!"

"Yin is full of cold accumulation, qi and blood are stagnant, don't pass!"

More than ten people in a row have failed to sign up, and now the one who has signed up is a white and pure teenager, about fourteen or fifteen years old, his slightly childish face is a little nervous, and his writing hand is a little trembling, but he finally filled in the roster, and soon finished his pulse.

"Topaz book, pulsating strongly, full of qi and blood, pass!"

The young man was taken into the dart game for assessment with a face full of joy. In the blink of an eye, the morning passed, and there were already two or three hundred applicants, but only forty or fifty people passed through the relationship, and most of them were illiterate or physically unfit to practice martial arts. What surprised Peng Yu was that Shi Zhu, the woodcutter's son who was scolded as a black monkey, actually passed the registration, and he thought that this kid must not even know how to write his name.

Manager Lu said loudly: "It's lunch time, and this dart bureau has prepared lunch for all the villagers, with a bowl of gruel and a steamed bun for each person." Registration will continue at the end of the afternoon. ”

Peng Yu was overjoyed, he was hungry, he didn't expect this splendid dart game to be so generous, and he didn't have to worry about starvation today. I only hated myself for taking care of the excitement in the morning, so I hurriedly ran to the back of the line and lined up.

A bowl of porridge quickly went down, Peng Yu looked at the white and tender steamed buns in his hand and really wanted to bite into them, but thought that if he didn't pass the assessment, he would have to starve again in the afternoon, so he had to carefully put the steamed buns in his pocket and put them up.
