Over Jishui County, snow and rain also fell at this time.

In the early hours of the morning, the camp was empty, and He Zhong was dressed in short clothes, holding a long knife, jumping and tumbling, and continued to cultivate.

In the open space, two people came at some point, and they were watching.

It wasn't until He Zhong practiced the sword technique more than a dozen times that he realized that they were coming.

"Bench, Ryoko, when are you coming over?" He Zhong put the long knife on the weapon rack on the side, took a dry towel, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then walked over and asked.

"When I first arrived, I saw you practicing knives, so I didn't call you. The bench said.

"Brother He, your skills are much more agile than before, and it seems that I have to practice more. Ryoko said ashamedly.

Seeing He Zhong working hard to improve his strength, this made Ryoko feel very remorseful.

"Don't call me Brother He, call me Huo Chang...... Hey, the army doesn't pay attention to human feelings, and now several of our brothers will go to the battlefield in the future, so we can't help but practice!" Speaking of this, He Zhong cast a shadow, and his partner Huzi, who grew up together, was killed on the spot for violating military law, and hung his head three times, which made these people shake a lot.

Hatred or fear, it's hard to say.

"Ryoko, if you have time, you can learn from He Wu, I found that although their kung fu is a bit miscellaneous, it is very suitable for fighting on the battlefield, go back and ask them privately, if you are willing to teach us a set of superficial and practical kung fu, if you feel embarrassed, then forget it." He Zhong patted Ryoko on the shoulder and said, "Also, they all have one hand in the old camp, so have a good relationship with them and learn a few more." ”

"Got it, big brother. Ryoko said in response, but resolutely refused to change his name.

"Brother He, it's the sixth day of the new year today, and the first batch of people to go back have already returned, I don't know when you are going to go home?" said the bench suddenly.

He Zhong thought that in the past two days, several brothers had also reminded him, so he said: "After the second day, after we report on our work, we will go home directly, when do you plan to return home?"

"I'm not going back this year, and my parents will be back in a few days. The bench said, seeing that the two of them were puzzled, and said: "The county is going to build a medical officer, I think it's an opportunity, and I told my parents." ”

"After a while, my parents are going to come here to take a look, and if the conditions promised by Mr. Xue have not changed, my parents will move over. ”

There are four classes of medical officers, apprentices, casual doctors, adult doctors, and senior doctors, and their grades are the same as those of officials, which is very attractive.

"My family's Huichun Hall, business in the countryside is not very good, my parents have accepted a few children from the township as apprentices, the economy is very tight, but there is no way, they are all villagers and relatives, they can't afford to raise children, if you don't accept them as apprentices, do you watch them starve to death? But it's really a heavy burden, this time I had the opportunity, so I moved here together...... If I succeeded, I might have been transferred from the army to the medical officer's office. The bench said.

"Go to the medical officer, okay!" He Zhong wanted to continue to ask about the recent situation of the bench, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed back, and he felt that the bench was hiding from him.

Huzi was killed, which shocked his partners a lot, and some people continued to follow He Zhong, while others avoided him.

After all, sadness is sadness, but most ordinary people don't want to fight with power.

The bench is relatively good, and the other partners just can't come.

"What about you?" He Zhong looked at Ryoko and said, "You didn't go back last time, this time you have to go back home and let your parents see what you look like now." ”

"Big brother, of course, I'm also a Wu Commander now!" Ryoko nodded and said.

Rougasawa House

After hundreds of miles, the rain and snow stopped here, but it was still dark.

An inn has a lantern hanging in front of the door, which reads: Shijia, a century-old shop.

At this time, at night, the hotel lit the lamp, brought hot water to wash the feet and faces of the guests, the guys were busy, Wang Shoutian lived in the upper room, and a special person was sent to serve.

"Childe, dinner is here. "A guy came with a food box.

The table was cleaned and brought up.

There are not many dishes, a plate of palace fried chicken, a plate of fried bean sprouts, a plate of shredded pork with green peppers, a plate of carp, and a bowl of chicken soup, plus steamed buns and rice, and a pot of wine, Wang Shoutian only ate a few bites, and couldn't help but praise: "Okay, the time-honored store is really an old store, this taste is really good!"

The guy helped serve the food, and when he heard this, he said: "Gongzi Mingjian, if you don't have some real ability to open this store, how can you open it for such a long time, wait for the idle shop, it will be gone in three or five years, and then it will be ten or eight years, my store has been passed down for five generations, relying on real skills, relying on guest officials!"

When he was about to eat, the door opened, and Ganhou came in.

This guy is smart, and as soon as he saw this, he said to Wang Shoutian: "Son, use it first, just tell me if you want anything!"

With that, he went out with the used water.

"My lord, people have found out. ”

"Sit, eat together, you haven't had dinner yet, ask the soldiers outside to eat by themselves, you accompany me to eat, we still have something to do after eating." ”

"Yes, my lord. When there were no outsiders, Gan Hou was called the lord, and when he saw the lord's orders, he followed for a while, knowing Wang Shoutian's surname, and he didn't shirk at the moment, sat down to eat, picked up the big steamed bun and bit it.

But even so, the dishes rarely moved, and only after Wang Shoutian ate them, he only ate a few bites.

"Lord, Lai Tongyu is working as a clerk in Qian Ji Commercial Bank, and we found it. ”

"How's it going?"

"Qian Ji Commercial Bank is a time-honored firm, Lai Tongyu is a third-class clerk in it, and he receives one or two or three dollars of silver every month, which is enough in the countryside, and he has a tight life in the city, and the address of his home has also been found, just in Dongsha Port, which is easy to find. ”

"Well, you're doing a good job. Wang Shoutian sped up the action of eating, even so, after dinner, it was already dark.

At this time, another bright moon gradually rose, and through the sparse shadows of the trees outside the courtyard, the soft moonlight like a light veil sprinkled down.

Wang Shoutian was wearing a robe and said, "Let's go, don't wait for the night ban to be in trouble." ”

In ancient times, there was usually a night ban at ten o'clock, and there would be inspections and even the army, and Wang Shoutian didn't want to get into trouble.

"Lord, do you want to bring a few more people?"

"No need, they've been busy for a day, let them rest, besides, let's go to see a scholar, are you still afraid of danger?" Wang Shoutian said: "Also, there are outsiders who go out, call me Gongzi." ”

"Yes, Childe!" Wang Shoutian went out, the street outside was noisy, sometimes with cheers, only to see that there were people on the street playing the field, making tricks, Wang Shoutian glanced at it, and continued to step forward.

It didn't take long for me to arrive at a house, but I was screaming.

A group of people in the courtyard didn't know what they were arguing about, Wang Shoutian frowned and said, "Look what's going on?"

"Childe, I'll go take a look first. Gan Hou agreed, only to go in, I saw a few people pulling a middle-aged man, just a push, fell to the ground, this did not let go, a strong man lifted him, according to the face is two mouths, hit the corners of his mouth is blood.

"Is it Lai Tongyu?" Wang Shoutian shouted.

"Childe, it's him!"

At this moment, I saw this strong man laugh fiercely and said: "You owe me three hundred taels of silver, and you dare to hide from the debt, I have to beat you to death today!"

"If you don't die, sell your mother-in-law!" another person behind him made a noise.

"Forcing people to sell their wives, who are you, too vicious, right?" At this time, a voice came from behind.

"Vicious?" the strong sweat smirked, turned around, and hit it without saying a word.

"Don't kill. Wang Shoutian said.

Gan Hou responded, stepped forward to fight, only to hear the "crackling" sound endlessly, these five or six men, as soon as they went up, they were knocked to the ground, and Gan Hou's hands were extremely heavy, and there was the sound of broken bones from time to time, and the screams were endless.

"You dare to beat me, do you know who my master is?" the strong man screamed, unwillingly.

"Kick out!" Seeing Gan Hou kick these people out, Wang Shoutian went down the stairs, said, stretched out his hand to help out the person who fell on the ground, and at this time, a woman rushed out of the room, crying: "Husband." ”

"It's okay, go inside and talk, this benefactor, please come in. But the man was also calm, and wiped the nosebleed.

When they got inside, there was a light, and both of them were on.

Lai Tongyu's eyes lit up, and he saw that Wang Shoutian was dressed in a green shirt, and his face could only be said to be delicate, but his eyes were dark, and he looked forward to shining between words, naturally with majesty, and there were pro-soldiers behind him.

Lai Tongyu knew that the person in front of him was not an ordinary person.

And Wang Shoutian looked up, the woman next to Lai Tongyu looked like she was twenty-five or sixteen years old, which was considered old in ancient times, although she was wearing a coarse cloth dress, she couldn't hide the charm of a young woman, followed by two children, a boy and a girl, both around seven or eight years old, timidly pulling the corners of her mother's clothes.

This woman has such beauty, no wonder some people want him to sell his wife.

"This benefactor, this son, thank you for your rescue. Lai Tongyu was just talking, and Wang Shoutian waved his hand: "Mr. Lai, don't say much superfluous, this time I am here for you." ”

"I am the captain of Guoyi in Wenyang Town, and the director of Jishui County, I am short of manpower, I want you to go, become a scribe first, and then be promoted when you have merit. ”

Lai Tongyu didn't say a word at first, glanced at the house, wiped his nosebleed, and said, "Don't you want to ask what happened just now?"

"What's there to ask about this, whether Mr. Lai owes money, or they cheat and gamble, or Mr. Lai offends people, what does this have to do with us? If you go with me, it doesn't matter what kind of backstage they are, they won't chase them to Wenyang Town to collect debts, right?"

"If there are grievances and unwillingness in it, when you are appointed as an official, it is not too late to go back and clean them up. ”

As soon as these words came out, Lai Tongyu nodded and bowed down: "Lord!"

"Well, tonight you pack up your things, only bring soft clothes and don't bring anything else, and go out of the city with us early tomorrow morning, so as to save some trouble. Wang Shoutian said, and took out two ingots: "I don't have much silver on my body, use it first, and then increase it when I go back." ”

"Tomorrow at the dock, we already have a boat, as soon as we open the city gate, we will leave!"
