Chapter 23: Testing Talent by Touching Bones

Nurenfang is crowded with people and lively and noisy.

It's just that the "crowds of people" here are sellers and the goods are goods.

Those who are standing, walking, and those who are squatting, with grass on their heads, live in the same world but not the same human world.

Yang Fan walked and took a closer look.

All of them were in ragged clothes, with no clothes covering their bodies; their limbs were in shackles, and their faces were sallow and thin. They were obviously unkempt, but they had to pretend to be happy.

There are both men and women, old and young, but there are more young children and girls, because they are easy to deceive and kidnap, and their market value is also high. As they get older, they will be scarred, which shows that they need more training as they get older.

Yang Fan was very sad and touched a lot.

There are eighty-eight taels per mu of fertile land, two hundred taels of fine horses, and fifty-six taels of plowing oxen. However, a strong laborer cannot compare to a plowing ox, and there are very few who have more than fifty taels.

Yang Fan touched a little girl's shoulder, lifted it up, looked at the little girl's expression, saw her frowning slightly, and nodded involuntarily.

He turned to the trafficker and asked, "How much?"

The trafficker, wearing a mask, nodded and bowed and said, "Thirty-six taels."

Yang Fan: "How old are you?" Yang Fan knows some rules. When asking for goods, you can't ask the name, only the age. And the age usually has a source and is not the most true age. Just imagine, if Zhang San goes missing, his family will Looking around, the buyer asked for the name and it happened to be that he knew Zhang Sanqi's aunt and eight aunts. Wouldn't it be that most of the trafficker's life was lost? The rules are all learned from experience.

The trafficker said: "It's National Day, and I can give you a baby in two years."

Yang Fan could only smile bitterly. In ancient times, women could give birth at the age of thirteen, but most dignitaries did not wait for their women to reach thirteen before they started picking. In fact, this was the real reason why women in ancient times were not able to show themselves in public, and it was also the reason why women "could not leave the house." , the essence of "two doors are not closed".

Yang Fan could not calmly treat a living person as an object to bargain, so he bought the girl from the trafficker after just asking a few questions.

The slave room is not long, only about a hundred meters from beginning to end, but Yang Fanxun is meticulous, pinching the shoulders one by one to look at the face. When he pinches a little boy, Yang Fan can't help but be stunned. No matter how hard he pinches the shoulders, The boy's face remained unchanged, he just raised his head and stared at Yang Fan coldly.

When the trafficker saw him rolling his eyes and looking coldly at his customer, he slapped his hand in the air, intending to hit him, but was blocked by Yang Fan.

The boy was shirtless and looked like he was five or six years old. The scars on his body were looming, but the boy who was clearly five or six years old was blocking the way of a girl who was slightly younger than him, like he was protecting a calf.

Yang Fan asked the trafficker: "How much does this boy cost?"

The trafficker replied: "Twenty-six taels. If you buy the brother and sister together, it counts as your forty taels. To be honest, I am not cheating you. If you don't take this little girl with you, you won't be able to live with this boy." My temperament, if I don't suffer this loss, this girl will be dead if I buy it elsewhere. Even if I don't buy it, I won't be able to keep her for a few days."

Yang Fan paid the money and delivered the goods without saying a word.

When Yang Fan couldn't pull the boy back, he picked up the little girl. The little boy immediately stepped forward and grabbed Yang Fan's sleeve, pulling her tightly.

Although there were young girls and a lot of strong laborers, Yang Fan didn't pay much attention to them.

After looking at his harvest, Yang Fan shouted "go home" and left the slave workshop with his people.

The market is not open every day. It only appears at night on the fifteenth day of every month, and the location is not fixed. This is the same as going to the market.

The dealers couldn't help but smile knowingly as they looked at this handsome boy, fussing around and only buying young children.

Yang Fan didn't think so and didn't care at all.

Yang Fan's behavior may seem strange, but in fact, it hides a deep mystery. In fact, his grandfather taught him an unorthodox skill - weighing bones and testing talents. This skill was learned from his grandfather's combination of medicine and martial arts.

There is absolutely no semicolon in this family.

If you are not a person who has a deep understanding of medicine and martial arts, you will not be able to read, listen, or teach.

Grandpa said that a person's martial arts achievements are determined by both talent and hard work. But whether a person walks fast, steadily, and jumps high or not, the bigger factors actually depend on talent.

The details of the "Wei Gu Qu Fu" are unclear and cannot be explained clearly. It cannot be summarized in a few words, nor can it be understood by listening to it. It is passed over in one sentence and it is inconvenient to say more.

Not counting these brothers and sisters, the fourteen people Yang Fan bought this time all have prefecture-level talents. In other words, as long as they are given good skills and conditions and let them practice hard, it will not be a problem for these prefecture-level talented children to reach the special level.

.

Yang Fan picked up the dirty girl, but was beaten hard by the little boy.

The little boy didn't say anything and looked straight at Yang Fan, as if he would fight if you dare to touch my sister again.

Yang Fan smiled and was not angry.

I picked up a Wu Miaozi with a heaven-level talent. Why are you angry?

Grandpa once said that he is a Tianji talent, but he is also a deviation from Tianji talent. He belongs to the kind of people who can reach the top only by working hard, and will get stuck if they don't work hard.

Wu Hu was waiting anxiously in the inn, looking out the window for a while and looking at the door for a while.

Wu Shu covered his face and thought, if he showed that he was afraid of the dark, would he be able to be in the same room with him?

Wu Shu blushed and shook his head, no, no, no. A beggar said he was afraid of the dark, but he didn't even believe it.

The corners of his mouth turned up, and he rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find something, then slapped him down a few times, ran to another wing, and threw the things inside.

Sitting back in Yang Fan's wing, he sat upright and looked forward to it.

Accompanied by chattering and noisy footsteps, Yang Fan's voice finally reached Wu Mu's ears.

Leaning against the door, he found that Yang Fan was holding a little girl in his arms, and the hem of his clothes was being pulled tightly by a little boy. There were more than a dozen men and women surrounding him.

The five older ones were carrying large bags and small bags, and the nine younger ones were following Yang Fan. They were all sallow, skinny, and even worse than when he was a beggar.

Wu Shu heard the little girl in Yang Fan's arms timidly shout to Yang Fan: "Dad!"

Yang Fan smiled gently, and didn't mind that the little girl's face was dirty, so he kissed her on the forehead, his face full of love.

Wu Ming suddenly felt like something had pricked his heart, and he was in a difficult mood.

Wu Shu said angrily to Yang Fan, "I'm back."

The next second, the little girl in Yang Fan's arms said just one word to Wu Shu, and Wu Shu was filled with joy. From then on, Wu Shu always loved her very much.

Because the little girl called her: "Mom!"

The sound of the word "Mother" complemented the word "Dad" just now, like the red rope of Yue Lao, which made Wu Shu's heart suddenly become entangled.

Yang Fan looked at Wu Shu sheepishly, "Tong Yan Wuji, don't be angry."

Wu Shu smiled and picked up the little girl. The little boy immediately grabbed the hem of Wu Shu's skirt. Because of his strength, he almost pulled down a large part of the skirt.

Just when he was about to reprimand, he heard Yang Fan say: "They are all orphans I brought back from the slave workshop, and they will be our family from now on."

When Wu Shu heard the word "orphan", his heart softened, but when he heard the word "our family", he couldn't help but feel a little sweet.

Although the children are still young, they have walked through hell and seen the ugly faces of the world. They are able to observe words and expressions and judge good and evil. When they see the handsome young man who buys them, he feeds and drinks them well and buys them new clothes.

He didn't even mind that the girls in his arms were dirty, and he was very kind to them, so he had already put down his guard and fear of Yang Fan.

When they heard "They will be our family from now on", everyone burst into tears.

The little girl opened her hands and said, "Daddy, hug me!"

Yang Fan took the little girl with a smile.

All of a sudden, there were calls for daddy one after another, which made Yang Fan dumbfounded and made Wu Mingqing smile.

Then Yang Fan suddenly said seriously: "I will treat you as my sons from now on, but don't call me dad, call me master."

Yang Fan looked at everyone seriously, closed the door, sat on the floor, and pressed his hands to let everyone sit down casually: "My name is Yang Fan. I am older than you. When I was young, I was also an orphan. I was lucky enough to meet my grandfather not long ago.

My grandfather was killed and I became an orphan again."

"Although you are young, not good at words, and difficult to distinguish right from wrong, you are more mature and sensible than ordinary children. You have an unusual pair of eyes that can tell whether others are sincere or false. Just follow me and don't make any noise.

, If you don’t run away or cry, do you think I’m not a bad person?”

Everyone nodded, and Yang Fan continued with a smile.

"I have an island, so I can give you a home. This island is called Wanzhu Island, and this home will be called Wanzhumen from now on. From now on, I will be your teacher in the martial arts path, and also a person in your life.

Father, this is what Master means. I know that some of you still remember where your home is and who your parents are. I will not stop you from going home. I am even happy to see you reunited with your family. But I can’t help.

If you search, I can’t help you search, so you have to do your own thing, right?”

The older ones nodded.

"Have you ever thought about why you were treated as goods and bullied, why you were separated from your parents, and why your family couldn't find you or even protect you? Let me tell you, because you have no strength, if you go rashly now

Looking for your family, do you have the strength to do this? Can you guarantee that you will not be treated as goods again? Even if you find your family, can you guarantee that you will not be bullied?"

Everyone was silent.

"The greatest wealth my grandpa gave me is not an island, but 22 heaven-level exercises and 36 earth-level exercises."

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up, and even Wu Hui looked at Yang Fan in surprise. A single Tianji Kung Fu can cause a bloody storm, but he has 22 of them.

"Since I am your master, I will naturally teach you. As long as you work hard to practice martial arts according to my methods, you will be able to have the most suitable martial arts for yourself. You don't need to worry about food and clothing, you only need to focus on practicing martial arts. I

We have purchased both sides of Wanzhu Island and will establish famous sects on both sides of the river in the future.

I divide my disciples into three levels. Those who work hard and make quick progress will be accepted as direct disciples; those who make quick progress but don’t work hard are called inner disciples; those who are talented but don’t work hard or work hard will be placed in the outer sect and are called disciples.

Outer disciples, their living conditions and martial arts practice conditions are distinguished by their disciple level. If you want your sister to live a good life, eat well, and dress well, you should work hard to practice martial arts."

After speaking, he looked meaningfully at the little boy and then at the little girl.

After saying these words, Yang Fan stood up, patted his butt and said, "Okay, let's all take a shower and put on new clothes."

Of course, Yang Fan doesn't need to worry about the older boys and girls. Even the younger boys and girls are taken care of by Wu Shu.
