Chapter 2 Qingyang Town

"Bring her here."

"Yes, Deacon Zhang!" The young man in blue responded, and then brought the confused Huaying in front of the big man in black.

Deacon Zhang's eyes shone brightly as he carefully looked at the little girl from the mountain village in front of him. She looked about eight or nine years old. Although she was plainly dressed in a simple gray cloth, her little hands and face were very clean, and she even had a hair.

The strange white hair immediately interested him.

"Little girl, what's your name?"

"Huaying." Huaying said timidly.

"Haha, the name is quite good. The light of fireflies can also compete with the bright moon."

Zhang Zhi had praised her a lot beforehand, then pointed at Huaying's hair and asked, "Are you born with gray hair, or is there another reason?"

"Senior, this is how you were born."

"Oh, that's quite strange."

"Let me see."

"good."

At this scene, the young man's mood was high, and he fantasized about the angry horse in bright clothes.

Deacon Zhang, a big man in black, was actually smiling all over his face at this moment, looking a little weird for no reason.

"My faction has been doing too much in Qingyang Town in the past few days. I'm afraid the news has already been leaked. The half-day delay may have caused unintended consequences. This matter was ordered by Hall Master Li. Don't ask any more questions." Zhang Wu looked solemn and said, "I

Go prepare some things and I will meet you later."

Senior Brother Sun immediately fell silent.

This is not only the expectation of her parents for her husband, but also her own decision.

Unlike Er Lengzi and Gou Wa, who were selected children, she, who has mediocre qualifications, is thinking more about how to plan for her future life in the sect.

"Can the maid practice martial arts?"

Not long after, a young man also dressed in blue opened the door of the mansion and let everyone in.

"."

Senior Brother Sun seemed to have a high status in the Huadao Sect, but at this moment he vaguely revealed part of the inside story.

"Junior brother, I can't tell you too much, but what is certain is that the sooner we leave, the better!"

In the carriage, the youngest Gouwa was the most sober one. This kid had never been far away. Except for a few sad tears at the beginning, he was in high spirits along the way. He was just like a wild monkey. If not

The other children were very annoying to him and he had been yelling for a long time.

"Everyone, come down. No matter what you hear or see when you go in, don't yell. Otherwise, I won't care if you are thrown out."

Hua Ying was originally curious as to what the other party was calling her for, but suddenly she felt something in her heart when she heard this, secretly thinking that it was indeed the case.

Hua Ying rubbed her eyes, squatted by the window of the carriage, gently opened a small crack, and looked out curiously.

She also didn't believe that the other party would lie to her for no reason. After all, he was a senior expert from a famous family, so there was no need to lie to a child.

The two people in blue looked at each other and said in unison.

Hua Ying only looked out the window for a while, then withdrew her gaze without stopping, and silently returned to her seat.

"Ah Qing. Qingyang Town? I don't know."

Although Huaying is young, she still understands what it means to be a maid in today's world, and you have to sign a contract of sale. If you can learn martial arts, even if your talent is not good, there may be a glimmer of hope after working hard.

Deacon Zhang was stunned when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect this question to come from the other party.

"Could it be that?" Junior Brother Liu was suddenly startled.

However, in the future, I am afraid she will have to be a maid, serving tea and water every day, doing laundry and folding quilts. However, this is not a hard job for her. After all, she is a child who grew up in a mountain village, so she can still endure some hardships.

Er Lunzi seemed to have just woken up, with a confused look on his face.

The steps stopped.

Hua Ying huddled in a corner of the carriage, and woke up when she heard the movement outside the carriage. She casually tugged on the clothes of the children beside her, "Young fool, are we in Qingyang Town?"

"Of course you can't."

Although Hua Ying had been to Qingyang Town several times, she was still stunned by the prosperous scene in front of her.

Hua Ying was stunned for a moment, first turned around and glanced at her parents in the crowd, then bit her lips and asked tentatively:

Zhang Wu was riding on his horse, standing straight and looking into the distance. He estimated that he would reach Qingyang Town in two or three miles. He turned sideways and said to the disciples beside him: "When you enter the town later, you two will take these with you."

The child will go to Zhendong to meet with Hall Master Li and others and follow the instructions. We will set off tonight. Everything must be properly prepared and don't be careless."

As for whether there would be a master to teach her, or whether she would be able to enjoy the treatment of an ordinary disciple, Hua Ying couldn't even think about it.

Junior Brother Liu took a deep breath and quickly asked Senior Brother Sun: "Brother, I heard that we are leaving tonight. Is it necessary to be in such a hurry?"

If everything goes well, after entering Huadao Sect, she will first work as a maid, and then find time to practice martial arts - provided that the butler Zhang did not lie to her.

Seeing this, the disciple in blue nodded with satisfaction, then took a few steps forward and walked up the steps in front of the mansion to call the door.

"Girl?"

"Little girl, how can practicing martial arts be such a simple thing? The hard work involved cannot be understood by you at such a young age. Although there are many female disciples in our sect, none of them have ordinary qualifications. Female martial arts training requires

It is higher than men and cannot be learned easily."

The lights were on, the traffic was busy, and there was an endless stream of hawkers on the street. Smelling the fragrant big wontons, her stomach growled unsatisfactorily.

"Junior Brother Wang, Junior Brother Liu, you are the last batch today. Hall Master Li is already waiting impatiently."

However, these are not important. Finding opportunities to practice martial arts is Huaying's purpose. As long as she can become what her parents call a "respectable figure in Qingyang Town", no matter how hard she works, it will be worth it. She not only wants to change her own destiny, but also

The fate of parents and family.

Junior Brother Liu and Junior Brother Wang looked at each other and said with a wry smile: "Senior Brother Sun, Yangshan Village is too remote, and we dare not stop here for even a moment."

They came out of Yangshan Village and said goodbye to their families. They were already exhausted after the bumpy carriage ride. They never thought that they could just take a nap and half a day had passed. Now they were completely confused about where they were.

Deacon Zhang nodded, with a look of sudden realization on his face. He no longer dwelled on the matter, and then said bluntly: "I think your qualifications are mediocre and you have no talent for martial arts. Although you can't become a disciple of the Sword Sect for me, but..."

"Deacon, it's getting late today, why don't you rest here in Qingyang Town for the night, and it won't be too late to return to the sect tomorrow?" A young man in blue asked in surprise.

"Shh."

Huaying was greatly disappointed.

"Don't worry. Today, there are more than 300 children from the 26 villages under Qingyang Town. Hall Master Li is very satisfied. I don't think he will blame you two for this trivial matter."

The full appetite instantly swept away Huaying's depressed mood caused by leaving home.

"Wait a minute."

A carriage was driving slowly on the bumpy dirt road. Two young men in blue and a man in black were riding on the horses leading the way.

"yes!"

"However, our sect is still short of a few maids. Although the treatment is not as good as that of ordinary disciples, they still have enough to eat and drink, sleep well and wear warm clothes. I wonder if you would like that?"

"Sister Erya, we are in town now. I just saw a lot of people outside, including one selling candied haws!"

"That's good."

Qingyang Town seemed small. Not long after the carriage entered the city, it stopped in front of a mansion in the east of the city. Two young men in blue on horseback dismounted, opened the curtain, and shouted into the car:

Huaying and the others were all focused on the garden view of the mansion and the decoration of the pavilions in the courtyard with carved dragons and phoenixes. They did not notice the conversation between these young men in blue at all.

Then two young men in blue followed the carriage into the town.

"That's natural."

"If you can't practice martial arts, then you won't be a maid."

Not long after, Qingyang Town in the distance finally approached. Zhang Wu gave instructions and then rode into the city without knowing where he was going.

"Sister Erya, are we going to live in this town in the future? That would be great. When I make money, I must try the taste of candied haws."

Huaying nodded in agreement.

"Tanghulu, two cents a bunch, no money if it's not sour! Take a look, take a look!"

A glint flashed in Butler Zhang's eyes, and there was an inexplicable meaning in his words.

If she can't, then she will never agree.

It was dusk now, and only a corner of the setting sun in the distance was left behind under the cover of the city.

The young man in blue who opened the door said as he walked.

"This matter is not a big deal. If you insist on practicing martial arts, it is not impossible. As long as you are comfortable serving others, the rest is up to you."

She made up her mind, no matter what, she would find a way to learn a skill first, and then she would explore the future practice issues.

Thinking of this, Huaying turned around and left.

She was not the only one who was greedy in the car, other children also gathered around, looking longingly at the scene outside the car.

"Senior, do you really mean what you said?" Hua Ying asked.

They are all highly qualified martial arts wizards who have been personally selected by the seniors of the Huadao Sect. They just wait to formally join the sect and learn a martial arts. In a few years, they will be able to roam the world and be respected by everyone. They just wait to return again.

When you return to the village, you can let your parents and family share the prosperity and wealth.

At this moment, seven or eight children were crowded in this small carriage, full of yearning for the outside world and at the same time a little proud.

What's more, for poor people, serving rich people is not considered hardship.

The children were startled by this man's words. They quickly got out of the carriage and gathered in a group on the street. They looked at the mansion in front of them hesitantly, not daring to make any sound.

The three of them chatted for only a moment, and the conversation was very quiet, which did not attract the attention of the children behind them.

Half a day later.

"Eat wontons, big wontons with thin skin and big fillings."

"good!"

As they continued to go deeper, they soon came to a wide open space in the backyard.

Under the moonlit night sky, many children of roughly the same age gathered here. There were probably hundreds of people in the dark crowd. They were either hugging a group or sitting together in groups of twos and threes.

Most of them are boys, and only a few are girls like Huaying.

When these children saw the newly arrived Huaying and others, they sat quietly on the ground without saying much. Some of them were still holding dry food in their hands and nibbling there.
