It turns out that the stories in the novel are not all true, but I really admire that a family like the Jin family, which covers almost the whole continent, can be so diligent and thrifty.

After answering the doubts, I began to toast to Xiao Hao one after another, Xiao Hao was very bold at the beginning, and after half an hour, he was a little up, his face was ruddy, and he began to sway a little when he sat on the chair, and he didn't know if it was because of the situation or how, he didn't say that he couldn't drink it, seeing that I didn't respect him anymore, he instead saluted me, saying that he admired my mind, obviously there was a force that could be climbed and relied on, and he still wanted to start from scratch, saying that if he were me, he would definitely not have the courage of me, saying that in his sixteen years of life, not to mention going out of the city, he would even go out of the city a few times, and said that he was very envious of me, and he could do whatever he wanted in such a lifeAnd when he had to start taking over the family little by little after two years of study, he was already drunk on the table and told me his story in the second half.

"If it weren't for my father's early family business, he would not have died in his forties, just in the prime of life, if my father was still here, Uncle Jin Yu would not be so anxious to train me. Maybe I don't have to take over the affairs of the family, although the children of the family like us have a mission from birth, and everything we have, including life, can be contributed when the family needs it, so that we can be worthy of the family's full cultivation of us. But this is really not what I want, I don't want to do business, I don't want to flatter the people in power all day long, and survive in the cracks they set, I just want to be an idle scholar, even if I have no cultivation and no ability, just step by step between the mountains and rivers of this continent. But I'm a child of my family! I'm born with an obligation to fight for my family! I don't have a choice of my own!"

As he spoke, Xiao Hao, who was lying on the table, began to cry. This made me a little at a loss, I always thought that a child like Xiao Hao, who grew up with a golden soup spoon, should be really carefree, and can enjoy life to the fullest, but I didn't think about the problems at this level. At the age of seventeen, I was indeed not mature at all, and I could only see his glamorous side, but I could not see his hard work and dedication, as well as the responsibilities and obligations that I needed to bear. I won't comfort anyone, I had to gently pat Xiao Hao's back, and after a while, he stopped crying and began to choke again." I'm not a talker, I've really never had friends since I was a child, except for the teacher who taught me was a servant, I didn't even let the door out when I was younger, including now, as long as I go out, there will be guards who follow me openly and secretly, and I don't even have the opportunity to communicate with others, that is, a few of you just came, do you know how happy I was when you were hurt, I went to the room one by one to talk to you and chat with you, this is the happiest time in my life for more than ten years, and after you got better, the meat dragon left Youzhou again, and you also went to a place where Uncle Jin did not allow me to go to work, and I lived the same as before, really, you haven't experienced it, and you won't understand my discomfort at all. I'm eager to have someone to talk to and not just do superficial work and talk, in other words I'm excited every time I see you, can you now understand how important you are to me?"

I leaned down and hugged Brother Hao, I really didn't know that the brothers were so important in his eyes. I always felt that a young master like him should be carefree and don't have to worry about anything, because people like us are dispensable, I didn't expect him to take us so seriously.

"Brother Rui, I lost my temper today, but I really need such an opportunity to vent my emotions. Thank you for being my listener for so long, and I'll arrange for someone to send you back. ”

"No, it wasn't that far, I walked two steps back by myself and just sobered up. In addition, Brother Hao, I really don't know your troubles, if I had known that I would have run to you as soon as I had time, and then I ran too much, don't bother me. Brother Hao, before leaving, I still want to say a few words I want to say, if you think it makes sense, you can listen, if you think it doesn't make sense, you just don't hear anything. Brother Hao, everyone has their own hardships, which I just learned from you, but hardships are hardships, it's not that you don't have a choice, how you want to go, it's more important to see your own decision. Maybe it will be further away, but don't forget your own initial decision, just stick to yourself. ”

The two of us both clasped their fists and saluted, like the scene of the heroes in the rivers and lakes. I walked out of Jin's house and came to the road, looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, I couldn't help but sigh, I don't know whether to sigh for Xiao Hao's experience or sigh for the world, it seems that all living beings are suffering, nodded and continued to stride forward.

I went to the Jin family today in addition to visiting Xiao Hao and accompanying him to drink a drink to see his brother who was ill for a long time, and I also got a good news in talking with the Jin family doctor. The old dog's will to survive is particularly strong, and its vitality is also very strong, and it won't be long before the old dog will wake up if this situation continues. Everything will be fine!

In the past few days, under the leadership of the mountain master, we have eaten a lot of snacks unique to Youzhou, and also seen a lot of famous buildings in Youzhou, and also heard a lot of folk legends of Youzhou, which can be regarded as a further understanding of this city, in short, the four of us have been very happy these days, probably happy in the grocery store of the mountain master, as planned, we will be able to do two more months of hard work, my brother is about to get better, Datai can also take refuge in the famous teacher, Aaron, this wandering life for more than ten years, finally found his brothers, everything is so beautiful。

After taking this rare few days of vacation, I have to go back to the freight yard to continue to move the goods, the night before the start of work, the mountain lord also cheered us up, at most two months of our hard days will be over, at least in the future can mix food and clothing. This person, it is indeed different to have hope, and having hope can always make you energetic.

After returning to the freight yard, we repeated the days before the New Year, and the news that Shan Ye and we planned to leave the freight yard gradually spread, and the laborers were very envious of us and envied that we could get out of such a life. That is, the mountain master, alone, except for the usual love to drink two sips, there is no other bad habits, stay in the yard all day long, there is no place to spend money, this ten years can only save such two hundred taels of silver in a day, the average family has to earn the expenses of the whole family, usually if there is no disaster or disease, it is still tight, where can you save money. More than a month passed like this, and when we were about to leave this ghost place to start a new life, an accident happened that was not quite unexpected, and because of this accident, everything changed.

It was raining heavily, everyone was working in their coats, because of the rain, it was dark early, although the ground was very slippery, but everyone's hands and feet were faster than usual, all for life, and few people were really willing to work in the heavy rain. We are working hard to unload the goods and want to finish early and finish early, the rainy weather is drenched in the rain and the body is easy to get rheumatic for a long time, and the box in the hand of Ah Long, who suddenly unloaded from the carriage, seems to fall off because it is too slippery and not stable, I hurriedly pounced but it was too far away and still failed to catch it, only to hear the box smashed on the ground and the things inside made a porcelain-like breaking sound, it's over, this is really a big deal, the overseer also saw all this, and walked to Ah Hua's office area without saying a word.

Ah Long said with a very anxious face: "Brother Rui, did I make a big mistake this time, I don't know what's going on, the previous boxes were all taken well, and when I arrived at that one, I felt that the bottom was slippery as soon as I picked it up, and sure enough, one didn't hold it steady, and it fell, Brother Rui, I really don't know how I could make such a low-level mistake, what can Brother Rui do now." ”

I patted Aaron on the shoulder, "What else can I do, if I do something wrong, I have to admit it, since this thing happened, that's it, we should lose money, let's lose money to others, it's a big deal to work in the yard for a while longer, anyway, it's not bad if it's been done for so long." Don't blame yourself, everyone has to make mistakes, since this is wrong, then it's wrong, just pay attention next time. ”

The mountain master sat aside and did not speak, his face was very solemn.

Ah Hua, accompanied by the overseer, walked over slowly, staring at us expressionlessly, "You did it?"

I hurriedly replied very respectfully, "Brother Hua, it was our mistake accidentally." ”

"Okay, it's good to dare to admit mistakes, the others are careful, now the problem has happened and it doesn't matter, unpack, we'll talk about the others after inspecting the goods." ”

The overseer opened the box that Ah Hua had thrown on the ground layer by layer, and inside was a glass bottle ornament that had been broken into many pieces, and I saw that it was okay at most, nothing more than a few dollars of silver, and it was not too valuable to make us unable to afford it.

Ah Hua said to the overseer, "Old Yang, how much was this box valued at that time?"

"If you go back to Brother Hua, the price of the North Shore glass bottle written on the list is thirty taels. ”

As soon as we heard the price, we jumped up, and it took us twenty days to earn one tael of silver, and the three taels of silver had to be worked by the four of us for five or six months. "What? This little glass bottle costs thirty taels?"

Ah Hua immediately glared at us with a serious face, and drank, "Shut up! The estimate is thirty taels, that is, thirty taels, all the goods we took over have been set before, we are charged according to the price of the goods, are you questioning the pricing of our yard!"

"No, how did this small glass bottle from the West become a glass product, where did you get so much money on this street. Otherwise, Brother Hua, you give us the contact information of the owner of the goods, and we will compensate him ourselves. Aaron argued.

"Did I just say tell you to shut up and hear it? I said what it is, it's what it is, here is your final say or I have the final say? Why don't you look at yourself in the mirror, do you think you are worthy? You are a laborer and still think about contacting the owner of the goods by yourself, and you don't want to think about what you are, take a few of them to my office, and let's talk about compensation slowly. Ah Hua waved his hand, and several strong overseers came up to take us down.

At this time, the mountain master couldn't sit still and pulled Ah Hua flatteringly, "Brother Hua, these boys are not very sensible, I will pay for the thirty taels of this glass bottle, you wait here, I will take it in the room, you extinguish the fire, don't be like their children." ”

"Old man Shan, they are children who don't understand the rules of the freight yard, so you have been working in the freight yard for more than ten years, don't you know the rules? Thirty taels? The cargo yard agreement is clearly written, the damage rate must be zero, once damaged, one will pay ten! This is the long-standing golden sign of our freight yard, pay thirty taels? I will pay for you the other money!" Ah Hua said sarcastically to the mountain master.

At this time, Ah Long Datai and I quickly broke free from the supervisor: "Three hundred taels? You want three hundred taels for a broken glass bottle? Ah Long was already trembling with anger at this time.

"I'm going to cheat you for your money? I'm happy to cheat you for your money? The rules of the freight yard are the rules, and when you came, the agreement was already clearly written in black and white, so what's the point of you messing with me at this point. Lao Yang went to their room to see how many of them there were, and Yongzi took them all to the office. ”

I pushed away the strong man who wanted to capture me, "Don't touch me! Why take Shanye's money, we did this and it has nothing to do with Shanye." We will definitely pay you a lot of money, but I am not convinced that this account is not clear, we have to talk to Master Wen. ”

Ah Hua looked at me with a contemptuous smile, "Just you, you still want to talk to Master Wen about this, are you worthy?" and then shouted to the overseer, "Didn't you eat, take it all down for me!"

Seven or eight overseers with wooden sticks rushed out, and I relied on the five-layer cultivation in my body, and ordinary people really couldn't stop me, but the number of overseers was huge, and gradually we couldn't parry, and we were surrounded by the overseers, and the mountain lord Aaron Datai was also pressed to the ground.
