Infinite Journey
v1 Chapter 247: old schoolboys
Seeing the local ruffian showing off the silver dollar that was usually swaying in front of him, Old Man Xie was moved. If he was such a generous master, he would definitely get a lot of rewards. Old Man Xie gritted his teeth and said, "Then I promise, when will I go."
The local ruffian said: "Now, that person lives in Huimin Inn, I'll take you there."
When old man Xie heard this, his heart trembled: "Huimin Inn, that is the best inn in Northwind City. I have only been there a few times when I was in Zhongju Ren. After the fall of the imperial court, I never went there again. Hey, it's all the fault of the republic, and I've been left in a state of despair."
The revolution is good and bad for the Chinese people. For some people, it is a good opportunity to get ahead, and for some people, it cuts off their future wealth. This is the case with old man Xie, who was abandoned by the times. people.
When Old Man Xie was led by the local ruffian to Huimin Inn, Qin Ba was already waiting for them at the door.
Qin Ba nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand to his subordinates: "Okay, you go back first, don't run around, understand."
, The local ruffian respectfully said, "Boss, I understand."
Qin Ba couldn't deny it, turned his head and bowed to Old Man Xie and said, "Old Man Xie, I also know you, this time there will be a great wealth, you can catch it, at least you will have no worries about food and clothing in the future, if you can't catch it, you can only catch it. You can blame yourself for not being good at learning."
When old man Xie heard this, he looked at Qin Ba and said, "Can you tell me what exactly needs my help, little brother?"
Qin Ba shook his head and said, "I don't know. It's an uncle who needs you to do something. I don't know what it is."
Old Man Xie was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he didn't dare to show it, he just said solemnly, "I see, then I'll wait."
Under the leadership of Qin Ba, Old Man Xie entered a small house behind the inn. This was the best house in Huimin Inn, and it cost ten silver dollars a day.
Originally, the money Tang San brought from the barren city had been spent for a long time, but some time ago he killed a large number of ghost clan alone and obtained a lot of ghost bones. .
Seeing Qin Ba lead old man Xie into the room, Tang San got up and greeted him, "This old gentleman is your surname."
Old Man Xie looked at Tang San who was arrogant, and said with a hint of respect, "Don't worry about your surname Xie, I don't know what to call Mr.
"You can call me Mr. San," Tang San said lightly.
Hearing the statement, Old Man Xie froze in his heart. Knowing that the other party was unwilling to reveal his name, he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He coughed lightly, "I don't know what Mr. San needs Xiao Lao'er to do."
Tang San remained calm, took out a piece of paper prepared in the inn, and a pencil, and wrote a large character on the "True Dragon Washing Marrow Sutra".
Putting the blank paper in front of Old Man Xie, Tang San said, "I don't know if Old Man Xie can recognize this word."
Old Man Xie looked at it, nodded and said, "I recognize, this is the running script of the Dayan Dynasty before the Yong Dynasty. It is a bit different from the regular script used in the Yong Dynasty, but I also learned it."
Tang San nodded when he heard the words: "Very good, since the old gentleman knows it, it's easy to say, the purpose of my visit this time is to translate some words, and I need an old pedant like Mr. Xie to help one or two. Enough for the old gentleman to buy a few acres of thin fields, and the rest of his life can be considered to be settled, I wonder if the old gentleman can be satisfied."
Old Man Xie was overjoyed when he heard that Tang San actually promised a hundred silver dollars. At the same time, he also knew that the matter was extraordinary. If it was really done, he would be tight-lipped in the future, unable to utter a single word.
Old Man Xie cupped his hands towards Tang San and said, "I understand what Mr. San means, don't worry, I won't reveal half a word, I'm half a person, I just want to live the rest of my life in peace."
It's not without reason that the old trickster is cunning. The longer a person lives, the more he sees it, the more truth he understands, and the more experience he has. Old man Xie Mingrui noticed something, and directly assured Tang San.
Tang San couldn't deny it, "It's good to understand. Since ancient times, disasters have come out of our mouths. Since they are all smart people, I won't talk nonsense anymore."
At this time, two old men came in again. They were the same as old man Xie, who had the same experience. When they saw old man Xie, they were stunned and said: "Hey, old man Xie, you are here too. ."
Old Man Xie looked at the other two and said in his heart, "Zhang Xiucai, Wu Juren, you are here too."
The three were all literati from North Wind City, and they all had connections with each other, so they all knew each other. Tang San said to Old Man Xie, "Please, Old Mr. Xie, tell the two gentlemen about my mission. Since you know each other, you are fine. communicate."
Zhang Xiucai and Wu Juren, under the explanation of old man Xie, knew that Tang San was looking for them because they needed help, and the remuneration was not small, which made their eyes glow. , Sometimes a full meal is hard to come by.
Now that someone is willing to pay for them, the three of them naturally have no objection, only to hear Wu Juren come to Tang San and politely say: "Mr. San, we all understand what you mean, and we are all willing to do your job. Next~lightnovelpub.net~ I don't know when it will start."
Speaking of which, old man Xie suddenly heard a rumbling sound in his stomach, which seemed particularly harsh in this quiet room.
Old Man Xie didn't expect his stomach to be so unsatisfactory, it actually made a gurgling sound, his face flushed, and his face was embarrassed.
At this time Tang San smiled slightly: "I invited you here so late, it seems that you haven't eaten yet, so let's do it tomorrow, we'll have dinner first, and the food for the past few days is covered, I promise. A few people have enough to eat and drink, and then go to work."
Zhang Xiucai, Wu Juren, and Old Man Xie looked at Tang San, their eyes lit up, and when they heard Tang San being the host, the three of them couldn't help but see the table full of chicken, duck, and fish, but they hadn't had a decent meal in years. Now, in addition to getting some bacon to taste during the New Year, you may not even be able to eat meat at other times.
In the box on the second floor of the inn, Wu Juren, Zhang Xiucai, and Old Man Xie feasted on the table full of dishes, while Tang San and Qin Ba sat aside and ate in silence.
Wu Juren's face was flushed with a deep-fried chicken leg in his mouth and he said, "Mr. San is really generous. I will definitely do my best to accomplish Mr. San's task."
Tang San raised his glass to Wu Juren and said, "Then I will rely on you a lot."
The night passed in the middle of Wu Juren's three old pedants, who were eating and drinking, calm and deep.
In the middle of the night, the three were arranged by Tang San to live in the Huimin Inn, while he and Qin Ba came to his small courtyard.
Sitting on the stone chair in the small courtyard, Tang San looked at Qin Ba and said, "Qin Ba, you don't seem to be doing well in this North Wind City."
