Another year has passed, Fang Fang is already 9 years old, and there is still a year left before he can participate in the test of recruiting apprentices for immortals. Fang Fang remembered that his father and mother had told him about the immortal recruiting apprentices, and a trace of sadness flashed on his face. After a year of hard work, Fang Fang's cultivation has also reached the middle stage of the acquired body refining three-layer skin refining, and Fang Fang's height is about the same as that of a 16-year-old, with a height of one meter seven. Fang Fang plans to go to help with Uncle Fang Wendong today, it is only a year before the immortal recruits apprentices, Fang Fang wants to leave Fengshen Village to make a living by himself, his martial arts have also been practiced to the python four styles, and it is enough to protect himself against some junior beasts.

Fang Fang came to the door of his uncle's house and knocked on the door. After a while, Fang Wendong came out to open the door, saw Fang Fang, and said, "Little cub, come in." Fang Fang replied: "Hmm." Then Fang Fang and Uncle Fang Wendong entered the house, Fang Wendong beckoned Fang Fang to sit down, and said, "Little cub, have you had lunch?" Fang Fang replied: "Uncle, I've eaten." Fang Wendong asked again: "Little cub, if your sister is cultivating and doesn't have time to come out to play with you, do you have any doubts about your cultivation?" Fang Fang replied: "Uncle, I came today to tell you something, and I want to ask for your consent and help." "In the past year or so, Fang Wendong has taken good care of Fang Fang, and has a good relationship with Fang Wendong. After Fang Wendong listened to Fang Fang's words, he said: "If there is anything, just say it directly, how many times have I told you, we are not outsiders, don't be so polite, you can say it." Fang Fang replied: "Uncle, there is still more than a year before the immortals recruit apprentices, I want to leave Fengshen Village and go to a certain errand in the town to familiarize myself with the outside world, can Uncle help me find an errand in the town to find a job?" Fang Wendong pondered, thought for a while, and said: "It's okay, the errand is no problem, I'll find an errand with you to work, arrange for you first, and I'll come back." Fang Fang replied: "Uncle, on the day when the immortals recruit apprentices, Uncle will come to me again." Fang Wendong said: "Well, I remember, you can rest assured, you go back and prepare your luggage, go to the village and wait for me." Fang Fang replied: "Hmm." Then, Fang Fang said goodbye to Fang Wenlai and returned home.

After Fang Fang returned home, he looked at everything in the house by himself, walked back and forth, and said to himself: "I don't know when I will come back again, after my father and mother left, the village became very calm." Fang Fang thought about it, and when she packed her luggage, she went to visit her father, and then went to the village to wait for her uncle.

Fang Fang packed her luggage, locked the door, and walked to her father's grave without looking back. After arriving at the cemetery, Fang Fang put on three pillars of incense and gave them to his father and mother, and knocked three times. He said to himself: "Daddy, I will definitely become an immortal and fulfill the hopes and wishes of the two of you." Fang Fang muttered to himself in his father's grave for more than an hour, and he didn't even know that Fang Wendong came behind him. Fang Fang also said that when he was about to say, he found that Uncle Fang Wendong had come behind him. Fang Wendong also brought some offerings and motioned for Fang Fang to put them on the table. After Fang Fang put the sacrifices on the table, Uncle Fang Wendong then said: "I didn't want to engage in these forms, you can come out by yourself, uncle, I'm very happy, you kid didn't tell me beforehand." Fang Fang replied: "Uncle, it's me who is not good, I have made you worried, I have long been used to it, don't worry about you when you are old, it's almost time to worship, let's go." Uncle Fang Wendong replied: "Okay, we should go, otherwise we won't be able to go to the town before dark." ”

In this way, the uncle and nephew set out on their way to the town. On the way, because of Fang Fang's proposal, he wanted to pick some herbs and hunt some beasts and sell them in the town to earn some living expenses, and Uncle Fang Wendong also allowed it. So, the two of them were collecting medicine and hunting beasts on the road, and they were halfway before dark. Fang Fang and Uncle Fang Wendong roasted the animal meat, ate enough, cleaned the fire, and began to find a big tree to prepare for the night. Fang Fang and Uncle found a big tree more than 30 meters high and more than one meter wide and went up to sit down. Fang Fang asked Uncle Fang Wendong: "Uncle, why can't I see through Sister Ruo's cultivation, what level of cultivation has she reached?" Uncle Fang Wendong replied: "Your sister's cultivation has been acquired to refine the fifth layer, uncle, I'm sorry for your father, there are no more cultivation resources to help you improve your cultivation." Fang Fang immediately replied: "Uncle, don't say that, in fact, you have been good enough to me, and I have no complaints." Fang Fang continued: "I haven't said goodbye to those partners yet, uncle, after you go back, tell them to understand." Fang Wendong replied: "Don't worry, I will remember, you don't fall behind in cultivation, go over there, and keep the progress of cultivation." Fang Fang said: "Okay, I will, then when the immortals recruit apprentices, you can bring the big guys to the town again, and I will definitely wait for you in the town that day." Uncle Fang Wendong said: "Okay, we will definitely go to you, it's not too early, let's meditate, and we will rush to the town tomorrow to help you find an errand." In this way, Fang Fang and Uncle Fang Wendong stayed on the big tree all night.

As soon as it was dawn, Fang Fang and Uncle Fang Wendong got up and hurried away, and when it was almost noon, Fang Fang and Uncle Fang Wendong also rushed to the town. After coming to the town, Fang Wendong took Fang Fang to the pawnshop, and simply sold the beast fur and some ordinary herbs he had collected, and also sold it for more than 10 silver. Then, Fang Wendong took Fang Fang to the tea shop and had lunch. In the end, Fang Wendong took Fang Fang to look for work on the street. Fang Wendong first found a restaurant and asked, and the person in charge said that Fang Fang's cultivation was too low, and he couldn't support the façade and couldn't do that job. Helpless, Fang Wenlai had no choice but to give up. took Fang Fang to find a tea shop, and the shopkeeper of the tea shop said that the tea shop could only recruit one guy, and it would be impossible to make ends meet when recruiting. Fang Wendong said hello to the shopkeeper and left, and Fang Wendong took Fang Fang around several streets, but finally didn't find it. Fang Wendong was about to look for it on other streets, but a piece of white paper was blown by the wind and rolled in front of Fang Fang. After that, Fang Fang saw it, and picked up the blank paper very curiously, it turned out to be a bookstore looking for a buddy notice. It reads: Recruit a man who can read and write, willing to work here for a year, the salary is five silver per month, not including food, but shelter, just live in the bookstore, and the guy who meets the above requirements will come to report. Fang Wendong saw Fang Fang holding a blank piece of paper, so he asked Fang Fang what it was, and asked, "Little cub, what is on that white paper, you look so fascinated." Fang Fang came back to his senses and happily replied: "Uncle, it says that there is a bookstore that wants to recruit a guy, and I just met the requirements, and the address is also written on it, just at the last corner of the street on the left." Fang Fang was a little worried and continued: "I wonder if I have found a guy in that bookstore now?" Uncle Fang Wendong replied: "Don't worry about it so much, let's go and have a look first." Fang Fang replied, "Okay." ”

So, Fang Fang and Uncle Fang Wen came and went to the address written on the blank paper. Fang Wendong took Fang Fang into the bookstore and saw a woman in her 40s sitting on the counter at the door. The woman asked, "Guest, do you need any books, there are all kinds of books here?" Fang Wendong replied: "Shopkeeper, I'm not here to buy books, are you going to recruit a guy to manage the bookstore?" The woman replied: "Yes, I do want to recruit a guy." Fang Wendong said happily: "My nephew is going to accept this errand, he meets your requirements, and hopes to work here." The woman replied, "Your nephew is not up to the mark, and I will know when I pass him." Then, the woman got up and brought a copy of the "Three Character Classic" to Fang Fang, and asked Fang Fang to read a paragraph to her. The woman handed the book to Fang Fang, who took it with both hands, opened the first page and read it. After that, Fang Fang read several paragraphs endlessly, and the woman stopped Fang Fang and said, "Very qualified, this young man's skills are not bad, and he is more than enough to be a bookstore." After hearing this, Fang Wendong and Fang Fang said happily: "Thank you, thank you, thank you." Then the woman said, "Seeing that your nephew is well, let me give you ten deni a month, and start working today." Fang Fang said: "Shopkeeper, I want to send my uncle to the gate of the town, and then come back here, okay?" The woman smiled and said, "Your uncle and nephew go quickly, come back early, I'm very busy." Fang Fang and Fang Wendong happily replied: "Thank you, shopkeeper, let's go first." Fang Fang and Uncle came to the gate of the town after a while, Fang Wendong said to Fang Fang: "Little cub, here, you have to listen to the shopkeeper carefully, don't offend the shopkeeper, you know?" Fang Fang replied: "Uncle, don't worry, I won't upset the shopkeeper, when you go back, worry more on the road." Fang Wendong replied: "Then uncle, I'll rest assured, there are 25 silver here, you take it, when I go back, I will pay attention, then I will go back." Fang Fang took 25 silver taels and said, "Uncle be careful." Fang Wendong replied: "Well, I'll go back." Then he ran back without looking back.

Fang Fang looked at the uncle's thin back, and felt a sadness in her heart. I secretly decided in my heart that I must repay my uncle well in the future.

As the uncle's back gradually disappeared from sight, Fang Fang began to rush back to the bookstore.

Back at the bookstore, Fang Fang reported to the woman's shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I'm back." The woman's shopkeeper looked at Fang Fang and replied: "Young man, you will work here in the future, what is your name, you can call me Shopkeeper Zhao?" Fang Fang replied: "Shopkeeper, my name is Fang Fang." The woman replied, "Since you are working with me, I will call you a young man." Fang Fang replied: "Yes, shopkeeper Zhao." The woman said, "I will no longer shop in the shop, but every month I will bring the goods and check the accounts, and you can have a day off on Saturday every week, and remember to work hard and look at the bookstore." Fang Fang replied: "Shopkeeper Zhao, I will do a good job, and I will be optimistic about the bookstore." The shopkeeper replied: "If you want to read the book, you can take it to read, remember to put the book neatly and put it in place." Fang Fang replied: "Yes, shopkeeper Zhao." "The bed and quilt are behind the last row of bookshelves, remember to lock the doors and windows at night, and I will go first. Fang Fang replied: "Shopkeeper Zhao, go slowly." After Shopkeeper Zhao left, Fang Fang sat quietly at the counter, waiting for the arrival of the guests.
