It was already evening when Xu Guangling and the two came out of the tea shed.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on this street, and people come and go, chatting and laughing, as if you can walk into a park just by walking casually on this street.
Here, there is no park.
"Master, that story is very boring and not pleasant at all." Xu Tonghui said next to Xu Guangling, "Return to the earth-level strong man, the earth-level strong man is like that? I can beat a hundred of them like him!"
Next, Xu Tonghui pointed out many shortcomings of the story.
What he said was correct, but what he said was probably not worth the money spent.
After all, they were once a seventh-grade family and are now a fifth-grade family. Even if the banker lives in a remote place, and even if Xu Tonghui is just a servant of the banker, his vision will not be so shallow that he will be humbled by a mere hundred copper coins.
In fact, when they came out this time, their family did not give them much money.
Only two hundred taels in total!
In fact, this is quite a lot. Normally, it is more than enough for two people to spend money outside for several years.
It can take as little as two or three years, as long as four or five years. If you save a little bit, it can last longer.
But Xu Tonghui had a little thought.
He didn't want to return to his family so soon.
He wanted to stay with the young master.
If he follows for a long time, he may become the young master's man. Even if he returns to the family in the future, he can still talk to the young master, talk to the clan leader, and listen to the young master's side.
And if he doesn't follow him long enough, after returning to the family, he may still work for the family and not be able to stay with the young master.
Then...
It's over!
The family may not be big, but it is not small either. In short, in the past ten years, Xu Tonghui has never heard of the young master's name, nor has he met the young master.
He heard about the young master's name not long before he left this time, because the young master was initially selected by the adults from Dayao Mountain.
If he doesn't stay with the young master after returning to the family, he may still be like before, not seeing the young master for ten or eight years!
That's simply...
In short, if there are two opportunities in front of Xu Tonghui now, one is to go to Dayao Mountain to practice in the legendary spiritual realm, and the other is to stay with the young master like he is now.
Then he would probably choose the latter without even thinking about it.
Choose like now.
"Before returning to the family, I must let the young master take a fancy to me. It is best to take the initiative to say something and keep me by your side." Xu Tonghui thought beautifully, and then asked with both joy and fear: "Master, why did you do that that day?
Choose me?"
The patriarch called several people for the young master to choose, but he was just one of them, and his cultivation was not very outstanding.
I remember that the young master seemed to just point at him casually.
In fact, speaking from the bottom of his heart, Xu Tonghui didn't even want to be selected at that time. He believed that several other people probably thought the same way. It would be great to stay in the family. Besides, the family was newly promoted to the fifth rank, so staying in the family said
There may be better treatment and opportunities.
But if you come out, what else can you do besides eating and sleeping in the open air?
However, now, having only been out for a few days, well, not even five days, Xu Tonghui felt happy and afraid in his heart so many times.
He finally knew why so many clan elders gathered there that day, and why so many clan elders saw them off.
What Xu Tonghui still can't understand is why the young master failed to go to Cheng Dayao Mountain in the end, and why he had never heard of the young master in so many years before?
This makes no sense.
No, this is simply unreasonable!
"Why did I choose you that day? Uncle Xu, when you walk, do you usually move your left foot first or your right foot first?"
This question stumped Xu Tonghui.
He stopped deliberately.
Then start walking again.
The first time he walked, he stepped his left foot first, and then he thought something seemed wrong, so he stopped. The second time he walked, he stepped his right foot first, and something seemed wrong again. The third time, he stepped his left foot first again...
…
"Master!" Xu Tonghui scratched his head.
"Yes, that's it. There's no reason why." Xu Guangling said with a smile.
Xu Tonghui secretly exhaled.
I'm so lucky!
"Master, shall we go have something to eat?" Xu Tonghui said.
"Okay, instead of going to the food shop, let's go to the beach entrance and see if there is anything to eat. If there is, eat it. If there is nothing, go to the food shop." Xu Guangling said.
All I eat these days is dry food.
And the so-called dry food is fried and dried wheat grains. It is not actually wheat, but it is similar. It is similar to grain anyway.
Then there is the steamed and sun-dried meat jerky.
As long as it doesn't get wet, these two things can easily be stored for dozens of days.
This is a very lively beach entrance, and there is usually no shortage of food and drink in a place with many people.
Sure enough, when Xu Guangling and his two men came here, although it was only evening, many torches had already been lit, and in some places large bonfires were directly raised.
barbecue!
They are not as exquisite as the previous life, and most of them are just one or half of processed beasts of various sizes and roasted on top.
Wild ducks, pheasants, hares, bird eggs, etc.
This is "upscale".
Most of them are non-meat dishes, including baked or boiled gnocchi, and various baked potatoes.
This is the beach mouth of a big river, and of course the local specialty, fish and shrimps, is indispensable.
Xu Tonghui pretended to pick for a while, but in fact he didn't know how to pick at all. Xu Guangling thought that the stall he picked was not bad. In fact, the barbecue level of most stalls here was almost as bad.
Just let him go.
After sitting down, Xu Guangling ordered a lot of fish, shrimps, eggs, and cooked and roasted pheasants without asking Xu Tonghui's opinion.
Xu Tonghui secretly suffered from toothache.
According to the young master's way of spending money, they will have to return to the family soon.
what to do?
Do you want him to go to the beach to carry bags and make money?
Even if he had the strength, he wouldn't have the time!
So sad!
Xu Tonghui was worried in his heart but smiled on his face, "Master, this grilled fish is quite delicious. Do you want to order a few more?"
"Okay, ten more!" Xu Guangling said, "Uncle Xu, you are a monk, and you are already a 'big monk'. Your appetite must have been much bigger. Go ahead and eat in large quantities! You can't come out with me.
And make you hungry."
Master, really, I would rather go hungry, I can make do with just one meal a day!
Of course, this is what Xu Tonghui is saying, and it can only be what he is saying, "Master, I understand!"
Call you a bitch!
Then, while eating, he counted silently in his mind:
"Five coppers."
"Ten copper coins."
"Twenty coppers."
"..."
Everything the young master orders is the most expensive at this stall!
"Master, this kind of wild bird is actually not delicious. Even if it is cooked and roasted, it tastes like a toothache!" While eating, Xu Tonghui finally couldn't help it anymore and began to complain, "It's not worth five dollars at all."
One copper coin!"
"You don't understand!" Xu Guangling smiled and shook his head.
After this meal, he had a basic understanding of the surrounding mountains, water, vegetation, and even the entire natural ecology.
