Chapter IV: Action

The next morning, Roger woke up early in the morning, and yesterday's events had caused him to sleep almost all night, and now he got up so quickly, his eyes were hazy, and he was full of sleep. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hah...... Ah......h He walked out of the room and stretched. This scene happened to be seen by a middle-aged man who was washing in the backyard, and saw the middle-aged man wave his hand at Roger.

"Morning, Xiaojie!"

"Morning, Uncle Lu!" Roger nodded. This man's identity is the same as him, he is a guy in the store, named Lu Xingwang, he has been in the store for decades, and he belongs to the generation of the elders, it can be said that except for Sun Chengxuan, he is the oldest with the most qualifications. Usually the ingredients in the store rely on him and another guy to get up in the morning to go to the market to buy, make a great contribution to the store, and love Roger very much, in addition to the shopkeeper in the store, Roger admires the person the most.

Roger walked to Lu Xingwang's side, took out his own basin, took out a basin of water from the tank, took a deep breath, and then put his head deep into the basin. This is Roger's habit, every time he gets up early, he will use a basin to hold his breath in the water, and every time he will stick to his limit, because only in this way can he get rid of the drowsiness caused by getting up early.

"Gollum!" Roger's cheeks flushed, and bubbles kept popping up in the basin of water.

"I can hold on longer, I can hold on longer!" Roger's mind kept flashing through this thought, and he forced himself not to appear early.

However, no matter how much he struggles, the desire to survive will always slowly increase, until he surpasses his inner thoughts, he will involuntarily raise his head out of the water, but at this time, he has reached the limit.

In this way, after holding on for a while, he could no longer hold on, and had to lift his head out of the water.

"It's about the same time as last time. Roger took a look at the time and found that it was still the same as last time, with little progress.

"Is this my limit?" Roger had been wondering about because he had realized that he hadn't improved much since he got there. He still remembers the first time he practiced breath-holding a year ago, his grades were ridiculously poor, but after he persevered, he found that every day made progress, and even the speed of improvement in the early stage was unimaginably fast. However, gradually, his progress became slower and slower, and even half a year ago, he completely stopped and never made any further progress. So after practicing every day, he would wonder, did he reach the limit?

"Uncle Lu, where's Chef Zhou?" asked Roger. The chef Zhou in his mouth is naturally a fat chef, and he is the one who goes to the market with Lu Xingwang every morning to buy.

"He got up early, and went out to lead the carriage. Lu Xingwang replied, at this time he had already washed up and was about to leave.

"Uncle Lu be careful on the road!" said Roger, who would see Lu Xingwang and Chef Zhou every day when he got up, except today, so he would ask Chef Zhou about his whereabouts.

Lu Xingwang laughed and said, "You kid don't worry, your uncle and I have been going back and forth for more than 20 years, and nothing has happened!"

And at this moment, Roger's mind is still on the two people from yesterday. He pondered for a while, and then said to himself, "Even if they weren't dead, they should be gone, not under the cliff." However, if they were dead, they would still be at the bottom of the cliff. Either way, there's no way I'm going to get there. ”

It was a question he had thought about for a night and it wouldn't be harmful to him anyway. Although Roger is an orphan, he is also an orphan who grew up in Kangling City, so he is familiar with the terrain near Kangling City, and he knows that there is a path that leads to the bottom of the cliff. However, he was not stupid enough to go now, because it was not yet fully dawn, and there might be some unexpected danger!

After washing, Roger found a broom in the backyard, entered the inn, and began to clean it, although it had been cleaned by others before going to bed at night, but Sun Chengxuan said that the floor should be best done again after the next morning. Roger was very depressed, he didn't know what theory it was about, but since it was a task from Sun Chengxuan, he couldn't refuse.

Actually, there is nothing dirty in the inn, because it was all swept yesterday. Roger just picked up the broom and pretended to be it, swept it left and right, pretended to pick up the dustpan, and swept the garbage into the dustpan. It's not that Roger doesn't work hard, it's that he really doesn't think there is any need to sweep clean floors, but sometimes he can really find that there is still dirt on the floor, which was missed when he swept the floor yesterday. He only cleans up the garbage downstairs, and there are still guests in the upstairs guest rooms, so he can't disturb people.

In this way, after Roger finished sweeping the floor, the sky was completely bright. Sun Chengxuan and others have gradually risen, and Lu Xingwang and the others have also returned. A few guys, including Roger, helped move the ingredients out of the wagon and take them to the backyard to be washed. And just like that, the busy day begins.

It's said to be busy.,In fact, it's just to help wash the dishes.,There aren't many customers in the morning.,It's nothing more than the customers who stayed in the inn last night.。 When he was done, Roger found that he had nothing left to do, as the rest of the work was done by the other guys.

After thinking about it again, he finally made up his mind, and after he found Sun Chengxuan, he said, "Shopkeeper, I want to take a leave of absence this morning!"

"Are you sick?" asked Sun Chengxuan with concern.

"Nope. Roger replied, "I have one thing to do." "As for anything, he didn't say.

"Uh-huh, let's go!" Sun Chengxuan nodded. Everyone has their own secrets, Roger doesn't say, he doesn't ask, there are fewer guests in the morning, even if there is no Roger, he can still be busy, so he agreed to Roger's leave.

After Roger and Sun Chengxuan asked for leave, they did not go out immediately, but returned to the house to find some equipment they had prepared, a long wooden stick, a knife, and a straw hat. He thought about it, and it seemed that he didn't need anything more. So he stepped out of the room and walked towards the cliff. He hadn't taken a few steps before he turned back again.

"What if you're not prepared?"

He took out his coat from the cupboard again, wrapped it around his body, wrapped his whole body, and said to himself, "Now I am not afraid of poisonous insect bites." He was overjoyed that he had such a great idea, laughed, and strode out of the room with confidence.

In fact, Roger didn't really think about why he wanted to know the truth, he always thought that if he didn't figure out this matter, it would become a knot in his heart and linger. In fact, it is not, it is the desire in his heart, the desire for immortals, simply speaking, after he sees Xiao Ke and Cao Yong, he will naturally have the idea of immortals, which is not a sudden occurrence, but an idea that has been hidden in his heart, but it is just that it is stimulated after meeting Xiao Ke and Cao Yong.

Deep down, he wanted to become an immortal, but he didn't know it. Maybe it was because he was instilled that there were no immortals in the world since he was a child, so his thoughts kept silent and did not surface.

He went out of the backyard, thinking that no one would find him, but he didn't expect that there was also a guy in the backyard, and he almost laughed when he saw Roger's outfit, and this was the first time he had seen it on this hot day, going out in a coat.

Roger was slightly embarrassed when he saw his expression. But he immediately looked unconcerned, swaggering past the fellow with his hands behind his back. The fellow was stunned for a moment, then leaned back and laughed, if Roger was only wearing his coat and not making the gesture of carrying his hands behind his back, he would only think it was strange, nothing. However, after adding the action, it seems that Roger is very funny, so that he can't help but laugh.

His smile made Roger even more embarrassed, he wanted to walk out unobtrusively, after all, he knew that he would be ridiculed for wearing an overcoat in the summer.

"Is that funny?" asked Roger after a pause.

However, his seriousness made the fellow laugh even harder. After a while, the fellow stopped laughing and asked:

"You're wearing a coat on a hot day, and you're out of the backyard, where are you going?"

Roger didn't even tell Sun Chengxuan, how could he tell him? So, after answering that something was wrong, he swaggered out. It didn't take long for him to leave the man's sight and move away from the inn.

"It's so hot, why don't I take off my coat?" At first, he didn't feel anything, but after walking a long distance, he found that he was already sweating and getting too hot, and then he realized that it was a mistake to take his coat out.

"Mm-hmm, it's not to the edge of the cliff yet, so it's okay to take it off. He reassured himself. Then put the coat in one hand and a wooden stick in the other. In this way, he came to the edge of the cliff, to the position where Xiao Ke and Cao Yong fought yesterday, and he secretly remembered the location of the cliff in his heart, because the way down the cliff was not here, and on the other side, he not only had to go down from the other side, but also came to this position under the cliff.

He walked forward a little further, then stopped and said, "I remember it should be here." In front of his eyes, a path appeared, winding and winding, leading to the bottom of the cliff. However, because no one has passed for a long time, the path is overgrown with weeds, and even a little far ahead, the road is completely obscured, and if you don't look closely, you really can't see the road.

He strengthened himself, put on his coat, and held in both hands a wooden stick, which was used to protect himself from poisonous insects, and which was used to frighten small beasts.

"I'm not afraid!" he shouted, plucking up his courage and walking down.
