Chapter 318
"You still collect firewood for them?"
Zhang Xiaohua was a little speechless. When he was young, he also went up the mountain to collect firewood. However, his eldest brother and second brother took turns to follow him and only gave him a small bundle of firewood to carry. That feeling was still fresh in his memory.
"That's right. Otherwise, their tea stall would have to spend another two copper coins to buy firewood."
Xiaohua said with a smile.
Seeing that there weren't many people around, Zhang Xiaohua's childlike innocence was aroused. He put the long sword on the road and said with a smile, "Then you carry it. If you can carry it, I'll give you an extra copper coin every day. However, if you can't carry it, I'll deduct a copper coin every day."
"Ah!!!
Really.
Young Master can't trick me. "
Zhang Xiaohua said, "How can I trick you?
Carry it for me. "
Xiaohua went forward ecstatically. His small hand grabbed the middle of the long sword and tried to lift it up. However, the long sword didn't move at all on the ground. Xiaohua was shocked. He took the small bundle from his shoulder and walked to the side of the long sword. His two hands grabbed the two sides of the long sword and tried to lift it up. Unfortunately, even if he used all his strength and his small face turned red, the long sword still didn't move.
At this time, Xiaohua realized how naive he was.
His tears were about to fall.
He was extremely regretful. Great, now he lost a copper coin a day!
Then, he let go of his hand and picked up his small bundle. He lowered his head and said dejectedly, "Young Master, this little one can't carry it. You can carry it yourself."
Zhang Xiaohua looked at his appearance and laughed in his heart. He bent down and picked up the long sword and said, "Let's go. Bring me into the city."
Xiaohua said weakly, "Yes, Young Master. Please follow me."
Zhang Xiaohua saw this and said with a smile, "Xiaohua Ji, don't mind it. I was just joking with you. Now I officially announce that I'll give you eleven copper coins every day."
"Ah?
It's true. "Ji Xiaohua beamed with joy and said," Young master is such a good person. "
When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she frowned slightly and said, "Can you not call me Young Master?
That's why it sounds so weird. "
Xiaohua asked curiously, "Young Master, if I don't call you Young Master, what should I call you?"
Zhang Xiaohua scratched her head and felt depressed. That's right. What should Ji Xiaohua call her?
"Forget it. Call me if you want." Zhang Xiaohua waved his hand helplessly.
"Alright, Young Master, please come with me."
With that, Ji Xiaohua happily led Zhang Xiaohua along the main road towards Songning Town.
However, just as they entered the town, Zhang Xiaohua keenly noticed the sweat on Ji Xiaohua's forehead. Zhang Xiaohua found it very strange. They had just walked for a while. Logically speaking, this child often walked, so how could he be so tired?
While she was puzzled, Xiaohua Ji stopped and wiped the sweat on her forehead. She turned around and asked, "Young Master, we're already in the city. What do you want to do?"
As she spoke, the fragrance of a steamed bun wafted over from a nearby store. The child couldn't help but look over and secretly spit.
"Aiyo." Zhang Xiaohua instantly understood and couldn't help but secretly want to hit herself.
"That thing just now must be Xiaohua Ji's ration for today. He hasn't eaten yet, but I ate it first. I wanted to let him have a good meal at noon, but I didn't expect that he hasn't eaten in the morning. The sweat on his forehead is probably from hunger."
With this thought, Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "The first thing to do after entering the city is of course to eat. Hmm, this young master hasn't eaten breakfast yet. Let's go, I'll treat you to some steamed buns."
With that, she walked towards the steamed bun store first.
Although Xiaohua Ji was young, she had been outside for a few years. How could she not know Zhang Xiaohua's thoughts at this time? Looking at Zhang Xiaohua's back, she gratefully followed.
Unfortunately, she didn't know that the young master in front of her was just a fake. Otherwise, she would have dragged him to a restaurant long ago.
The vendor selling steamed buns was also a perceptive person. Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's dress, she hurriedly shouted, "This young master, do you want to eat some steamed buns?
Come and have a taste. You're used to eating fish and meat. Eat some of our vegetable buns. It's good for the body. "
After that, she looked at the dirty little table awkwardly. She didn't know if she should let Zhang Xiaohua sit down.
Zhang Xiaohua didn't mind and sat down. Xiaohua Ji followed and stood beside Zhang Xiaohua. She didn't know whether she should sit or stand. Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Sit down, Ji Xiaohua. Don't be polite. Thank you for calling me young master several times. Today, I'll treat you to some steamed buns."
Ji Xiaohua sat down obediently. She sat at the end of the bench far away from Zhang Xiaohua. To be honest, it was one thing to work for a young master and another to eat with him. She heard that rich families had rules when eating. This was the first time she ate with a young master. Moreover, they were eating meat buns that she had been craving for. How could she not be careful?
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua didn't say much. She said to the vendor, "Give me four steamed buns and six steamed buns."
The vendor happily said, "Okay, I'll give it to you right away."
After that, she took two trays from the top of the two tower-like steamers. She picked them up and gave them to the two of them. Zhang Xiaohua saw Ji Xiaohua staring at the fragrant steamed buns. She smiled and pushed the four steamed buns in front of him. Ji Xiaohua's eyes were a little disappointed. She reluctantly looked at the steamed buns in front of Zhang Xiaohua. She swallowed her saliva and asked, "Young master, you eat first."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Let's eat together."
After that, she picked up a pair of chopsticks from the table. Seeing this, Ji Xiaohua hurriedly said, "Young master, wait."
Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and looked at Ji Xiaohua strangely.
Ji Xiaohua took the chopsticks from Zhang Xiaohua's hand and skillfully picked up the tea from the table. After it was slightly hot, he handed it to Zhang Xiaohua.
Zhang Xiaohua was a little helpless. Why was this young master not reliable at all?
That's right, when did Zhang Xiaohua eat so delicately?
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua pick up a steamed meat bun, Ji Xiaohua quickly picked up the chopsticks from the table, picked up a steamed vegetable bun, and took a bite. The steamed bun had just been taken from the fire. Although the outside was cold, the inside was very hot. Ji Xiaohua had very little experience in eating steamed buns. How could he know that it was so hot that his mouth kept sucking in cold air. Even so, he was reluctant to spit out the steamed bun in his mouth.
Zhang Xiaohua looked at him and smiled. She reached out and poured a glass of water for him and said, "Drink some water and it won't be hot."
Ji Xiaohua quickly stood up and muttered, "Young master, how can I let you pour water."
Zhang Xiaohua raised her hand and motioned for him to sit down and handed the water to him. Ji Xiaohua took it and quickly drank it, then drank it in one gulp. Although he was boiling water in the tea shed, he didn't dare to casually drink the water. He had been busy from morning until now and hadn't had a sip of water. How could he not be thirsty?
Ji Xiaohua blew on the steamed vegetable bun while eating it. He was about to eat the second one when Zhang Xiaohua smiled and pushed the steamed meat bun beside her to him and said, "Eat the meat bun now."
Ji Xiaohua was stunned and didn't understand what was going on. Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "You eat first. We'll talk while eating."
After receiving the order to eat, how could Ji Xiaohua still be reserved?
He picked up the meat bun and began to eat. Fortunately, he had the experience of eating the steamed vegetable bun just now, so his mouth wasn't scalded by the meat bun.
Zhang Xiaohua saw that he was eating happily and said, "When I was young, the first time I ate a meat bun, I scalded my mouth and had diarrhea.
Later, I heard people say that if the stomach doesn't eat meat for a long time, it's best to eat some vegetables first and then eat meat. That's why I let you eat a meat bun first. "
Ji Xiaohua suddenly understood. With a meat bun in his mouth, he muttered, "Young master knows a lot."
Zhang Xiaohua curled her lips. Nonsense, how could he not know the experience that was exchanged with diarrhea?
After Ji Xiaohua ate three meat buns, Zhang Xiaohua didn't let him eat anymore and said, "Okay, if you eat too much, your stomach will feel uncomfortable. Pack up the rest of the buns. It won't be too late to eat when you're hungry later."
Ji Xiaohua was overjoyed and hurriedly and carefully put away the rest of the buns. Seeing Ji Xiaohua's careful appearance, Zhang Xiaohua felt very strange and asked, "We'll eat in a while, you don't have to be so serious."
Ji Xiaohua looked up and said seriously, "I'm already full. I want to bring this back for my mother to eat."
The word "mother" made Zhang Xiaohua's nose sour again. She didn't know who was missing her, or who thought that she had already passed away and was sadly missing her mother.
He waved his hand and said to the vendor, "Waiter, pack up two more trays of steamed buns for me, one for vegetables and one for meat."
Ji Xiaohua curiously asked, "Young master, you didn't eat a single one just now. Could it be that you're waiting to eat on the road?"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "This is for you to bring back to your mother."
"Ah?" Ji Xiaohua couldn't believe her ears and said, "Is this true?"
"Yes, why would I lie to you?"
"This, this is forty copper coins. Young master, you're so generous?"
"Ah?
Forty copper coins, ah. I thought it was thirty-six copper coins. Ai, this world is not like the old days. Forget it, I'll be generous this time. "
Zhang Xiaohua paid the bill. Xiaohua nimbly packed up the steamed buns and asked, "Young master, it's time to get down to business."
Zhang Xiaohua looked at the things in his hands and said with a smile, "Don't worry, my business is very easy. Take back the things in your hands first, then we'll talk."
"Okay, mother probably hasn't eaten anything either. It's just right to send it back now." Xiaohua was overjoyed at this turn of events.
Ji Xiaohua's house was in the south of Songning City. Although it was in the city, it was a shabby little courtyard with leaky little houses everywhere. It was even worse than Zhang Xiaohua's Guozhuang House. Zhang Xiaohua didn't enter the house and just stayed in the courtyard. He didn't feel any discomfort, but Ji Xiaohua wouldn't let him in no matter what, saying that it would be too slow to treat Zhang Xiaohua.
Zhang Xiaohua's divine sense had already swept through the shabby house. There was only a middle-aged woman with grizzled hair inside. She was curled up on the bed and coughed from time to time. Although she tried her best to endure, how could she endure it?
In Zhang Xiaohua's divine sense, he seemed to see that woman spit out traces of blood.
Zhang Xiaohua sighed and thought of his grandmother. Wasn't she like this in the past?
PS: I don't know if everyone is bored reading this chapter.
Thank you "Seeking Immortality Without Asking" for the compliment, hehe.
The setting of this book was a little different from the other books. In the other books, martial arts was the doorstep to cultivation. For example, martial arts could only be practiced to the Xiantian realm. However, the setting of this book was that martial arts was an improved version of the Immortal Path. The meridians of martial arts and the Immortal Path were the same, only the True Qi was different. Therefore, the peak of martial arts should be comparable to the fifth or sixth layer of the Immortal Path's Qi Refining stage. Moreover, the Qi of Heaven and Earth was insufficient now, so magic could not display its power. Of course, it was inferior to martial arts.
Of course, Zhang Xiaohua now felt that he couldn't compare with Ou Peng, Chang Geng, and the others, but he was belittling himself. He already had the Earth Escape, the Fire Escape, and the Flying Sword. He was already in an invincible position. If he couldn't beat them, he could … escape …
There was also a tourist who said that Zhang Xiaohua's strength was amazing. It should be the effect of the wrist guard. Why didn't I mention it in the book? Hehe, I think that other books write it so clearly. It's obvious that it's like some TV dramas nowadays, treating the audience as …. Everything needs to be explained or narrated. I'm afraid that the audience doesn't understand or know, so I didn't write it. Actually, the readers are very smart. Even if I didn't mention it, wouldn't the tourists know?
Oh right, I also forgot the martial arts moves. First, it highlighted that Zhang Xiaohua's martial arts practice was different. Second, if a few words could explain the moves, then there would be no need for a master to teach. Especially, if the men's football team was given a training manual, they would have dominated the World Cup.
En, it seems that the so-called training in the country should be world-class.
