Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    As the sun rises and sets, time passes quietly. Winter snowflakes fill the sky in Goodtown. There are only a few sailboats in the port. There is no big ship. Many coolies in various warehouses are playing cards and chatting in twos and threes, waiting for the arrival of goods.  .

    This situation did not get better throughout the winter, until the world gradually returned to spring. With the first thunder of the Waking of Insects, the long-sleeping frogs screamed, and the number of ships gradually increased;  The cicadas are chirping, farmers are harvesting and planting in summer, and the port is also in full swing. The wind is high and the air is crisp, and the white dew is falling. It is the autumn equinox season when farming is busy. The docks continue to have plenty of goods, and the coolies are sweating profusely every day.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The sound of the whistle came from far and near. After a year, the ship Neptune came to this town again. The sailors dropped anchor, tied the ropes, and prepared to stop the ship and go ashore; on the other side of the town, the farmers were also very busy.

    "This year's harvest is so good! I've never seen wheat grow so much.", "It's not just the rain, but God's eyes are open! If you use seawater like that year, you'd have to be salted to death.", "You don't have to worry about land rent.  , I can still survive the winter, haha.¡±¡­

    Under the blue sky and white clouds, there are endless golden wheat fields. The plump ears of wheat are swaying in the wind. Farmers are busy in the fields. Women harvest wheat seeds and bundle straw, and men carry the fruits.  Walking around, laughing and chatting from time to time, everyone is very happy in this harvest season.

    ¡°Ouch, it¡¯s going to rain heavily!¡±

    I don¡¯t know when it started, dark clouds covering the sky came from the distance, and strong winds blew. A half-hundred-year-old farmer was the first to shout. Seeing the dark clouds rolling closer and closer, the farmers stepped up their work, everywhere.  The sounds of urging and chatting resounded throughout the fields: "Hurry up! Hurry up!", "Put it away first and take shelter from the rain!", "It looks like the rain will be heavy."

    A tall black-haired boy was running among the golden field ridges. His powerful footsteps were lightning fast, and the strong wind blew his short hair.

    Several young farmers walking towards him greeted the boy one after another, and one of them shouted: "Xin Lie, where are you going? It's going to rain!" Xin Lie kept running past and shouted with a smile: "Leave me alone!"  The boy with a flat head calling was named Jiang Peng. He was Xin Lie's friend since he was a child. His voice came immediately: "Xin Lie, why don't you go to the dock to work today?" Xin Lie, who was running, waved his right hand and said, "No.  No more! I won¡¯t do it tomorrow! I won¡¯t do it the day after tomorrow either!¡±

    "Xin Lie!", "Brother Xin Lie!" Seeing the young man running past, the young girls in the wheat fields on both sides rushed to look at each other, with happy smiling faces and clear calls, Jiang Peng's sister Jiang  Wan opened her almond-shaped eyes and called him: "Brother Xinlie, where are you going? It's raining!"

    "Ha!" Xin Lie responded to the girls, turned to look at Jiang Wan, his speed still did not slow down, and shouted with a smile: "It's raining! It's a good harvest this year!"

    A strong big yellow dog sprang out from the wheat field and ran up happily, wagging its tail and sticking out its tongue. It followed Xin Lie for a long distance before turning back.

    Drops of rain suddenly fell from the dark sky, and then the sound of "splashing" became louder and louder.  Seeing the figure running past, the farmers in a hurry called him: "Xinlie, it's raining, where are you going!"

    Xin Lie gave them a bright smile, "Yes, it's raining!" He spread his hands as if to embrace the rain, laughed and continued running forward.

    The farmers either laughed or felt helpless. This child was really different from other children since he was a child.

    The strong wind and rain beat on the body, bringing a cool and refreshing feeling. Xin Lie speeded up his pace unconsciously, running through large tracts of wheat fields and passing lonely big trees. Far away from the wheat field area, the green  The plain land has not yet become the farmland of the villagers, and Goodtown has become a vague microcosm in the distance. He finally stopped in front of a big tree.

    "Huh, huhu" Xin Lie was panting heavily as he ran. He smiled, wiped the rain off his face, and walked towards the back of the tree. He knew best that there was a treasure there.

    Although it is definitely not as good as the giant trees in Western Vietnam, this ancient tree can also be called a towering tree. It takes several people to hug the tree. Even if the autumn leaves have fallen, it is still very dense and lush.  Xin Lie came to the tree and squatted down, then dug under a tree root with his bare hands. He was very interested and energetic, and the soil was washed away by the rain and became loose. Soon a lot of mud was dug out, and the rainwater flowed in.  , dripping onto a mottled iron box.

    "Hello, old man." A pure smile drove away the cold. Xin Lie took out the box and opened it, only to see several large ingots of silver and copper coins inside. The coins were piled up like a mountain, so many that he couldn't even count them!  He took off the bulging money bag from his waist and poured all the hundreds of copper coins inside into the box.

    Two taels of gold!  140,000 packages of goods!  Finally saved enough, finally!  Looking at the money, Xin Lie couldn't stop laughing.??Laughed so hard that my eyes were hot, and tears welled up and flowed down together with the rain.

    Countless days, countless longings This year I can finally go to Giant Rock City to participate in the annual admissions assessment of the Warrior Academy!  The expectations of family and friends, the whereabouts of parents, their own dreams, the outside world!  All of these, Xin Lie felt that he was so close to them. As long as he took a step forward, he could touch them

    He grabbed a handful of copper coins into the box and held them tightly. What did the hardships of these years mean?

    The heavy rain was still falling, and the branches and leaves of the big trees were "rustling" and swaying. This was not a thunderstorm. Xin Lie simply lay down, with the coins scattered on the floor. He looked at the distant sky with his hands on the pillow, and the dark clouds were changing, and he gradually became fascinated by the changes.

    "Ariel, do you know? There is a type of people in the world called 'warriors', and they are very capable! When my father was young, he encountered a tiger in the mountains and almost died. What do you think? A passing warrior saved his life.  Killed me. Dad will never forget, just one knife! As soon as he waved the knife, the knife burst into a red fire, so bright that I almost couldn't open my eyes. Then the tiger shattered and then burned into a  Pile ashes.¡±

    The vague man was smiling. He gently stroked the little boy's head and said, "Don't you want to know how big the world is? Maybe that warrior knows"

    "Okay, okay! I will be a warrior in the future!" The little boy danced with excitement. The vague woman patted his face and said with a smile: "As long as you grow up healthy and happy, mom will be satisfied.  "

    After an unknown amount of time, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and the rain was about to stop. The sunlight that penetrated the clouds and gaps between the trees shone on the silver coins, and also shone on the young man's calm face. He stood up and wiped the water from his face.  Zhu, began to pack the iron box.

    Next, he is going to do something, something that should have been done a long time ago.

    ¡­¡­

    With a few dings, a few copper coins fell into the palm of a big hand.

    "Just a little bit?"

    In the corner of the pier of Good Port, wooden boxes and other debris were piled halfway up the mountain, and the setting sun could not shine here.  Luo Tai's face was full of panic and uneasiness, while Zha Jun's face was cold, his glance was full of ferocity, and his beard trembled as he spoke: "Five broken copper coins?" Luo Tai's face suddenly became more bitter: "Brother Jun, my mother  I fell ill recently. I feel dizzy and weak all day long. The doctor said that I need to replenish my body due to weak Qi and blood Can you"

    "Build up?!" Before Luo Tai could finish speaking, Zha Jun slapped him across the face, bang!  Luo Tai screamed in pain, and Zha Jun roared repeatedly: "I can just fuck her! This old woman is suffering from tuberculosis, let's just die! To replenish my body? I work so hard every day, and I don't even mention that I need to replenish my body!"

    The last time Cha Jun was ill in bed was because he was beaten by a warrior in Zhang Kai's Tavern last year. He recovered from his injury after a month of recovery.

    Zha Jun didn¡¯t care about the young warrior¡¯s warning. In his opinion, the warrior clearly went to East Street on a whim. In a colorful world like Giant Rock, do you still remember what happened in Good Town?  It's possible to die in the giant rock, but can you care about Goodtown's affairs?  Not only did he continue to be a bully at the dock, but he also intensified it, especially since he had recently found a big backer and became a famous person. Even the manager's pen owned by old ghost Jino was about to be handed over to him.

    "No! The doctor said she has been tired for many years. If she doesn't get medical treatment, she will be dead if she waits a little longer"

    Luo Tai begged, his father died young and his mother raised him alone. He could never let her die of illness!  Seeing that Zha Jun was unmoved, Luo Tai suddenly bent his knees and knelt on the ground, "Brother Jun, please, I will kneel down for you! Please!"

    "Who cares about you kneeling down?" Zha Jun slapped her hard again, bang!  The beating made half of Luo Tai's face red and swollen, and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth. He laughed strangely: "Call me daddy and see? Then I might pity the old woman."

    What¡­¡­!  ?  Luo Tai clenched his fists tightly and pursed his mouth, but finally relaxed it slowly. He couldn't afford to offend these people, he couldn't afford to offend His face that was not raised was filled with humiliation, and two lines of tears welled up.  When he came out, Luo Tai shouted: "Dad."

    "Hahahaha!" Zha Jun was overjoyed, raised his thick eyebrows, and laughed again: "I didn't hear you, please speak louder." Luo Tai was silent for a few moments, tears fell to the ground, and he suddenly shouted: "Dad!" Zha Jun  Still not satisfied: "Call me again?" Luo Tai's whole body was trembling and he shouted: "Dad¡ª¡ª"

    "Haha, Luo Tai, since you have recognized me as your father, shouldn't a son be more filial and respectful?" Hearing Zha Jun's mocking voice, Luo Tai raised his head in shock, only to see the bully glare at him and snort coldly.  Said: "Add another twenty copper coins. You'd better get that amount for me tomorrow! Isn't it harvest now? Those farmers have money! You can borrow it, steal it, or rob it.Well, it¡¯s okay to gamble!  It's okay to sell your mother to a brothel, just give me the fucking amount!  "

    Zha Jun slapped Luo Tai on the cheek, leaned over and sneered: "Luo Tai, Good Town is as big as an egg. I know where your home is."

    Luo Tai didn¡¯t say anything, as if he was dumbfounded. Until Cha Jun left and walked far, far away, he still looked confused and was still kneeling alone.

    ¡­¡­

    The sun sets, and a bright moon hangs high in the night sky. Tonight, Sirius changes from its usual white color to blood-like red, and the diffuse red starlight is very dazzling.

    After leaving the pier and going to the pub for a drink, Zha Jun was walking home. Several boys went to steal the dog. They had been coveting the Jiang family's big yellow dog for a long time. Why did they keep it so fat and not kill it?  After killing the dog, the foodies brought some wine and food to his house and had a dog meat hot pot meal together on a rainy day.

    Chajun's house is a large mud-brick house with four or five rooms. It was built in a quiet place by the seaside of the town. There are no noisy mud-legged houses around. He also surrounded two large yards in front and back, but did not plant any trees.  He didn't bother to take care of the fruits and vegetables. He could just go to the neighbor's house to get whatever he wanted to eat.  His life has been really good recently, thanks to Mr. Wu Ai!

    Because of the prosperity of trade, Good Town has always had an "Inspector General" who is responsible for people's livelihood and security, and naturally they are all warriors.  Not long ago, Juyan made arrangements for personnel changes. The original old inspector general Ding Duan was transferred to another place, and the young new inspector general Wu Ai arrived.

    The life of the villagers immediately became more difficult, because when Wu Ai came, taxes, land taxes, and land prices were increased Fortunately, this year's harvest was bumper, and the villagers can barely survive the winter. What about next year?  What to do when there is a bad harvest?

    Wu Ai obviously doesn't care about this, and has other plans. He has recruited a group of ruffians to squeeze various "security fees" from the people of Gude and put them into his private treasury.  Zha Jun is the person in charge of the port and East Street areas, and is also the "Captain of the Township Yong Brigade". Because of his flattery, ferocity, and "courage" to fight against warriors, Wu Ai is very fond of him.

    So after Zha Jun¡¯s advice, Wu Ai issued an order to the dock to replace the manager of Qingfeng Warehouse!  After this busy autumn, Jino will leave and leave all affairs to the new general manager Zha Jun.

    "When I am promoted to warehouse manager" Thinking about the future situation, Zha Jun sneered. Those untouchables will have a better time!

    By then, Gude Town will not be the boss of the martial artist yet, but he will be the second in command, Cha Jun?  Hahaha!

    ¡°Cha Jun¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡±

    The mud-brick house was right in front, and a cold call suddenly came. Zha Jun was startled. Through the moonlight, he saw Xin Lie standing at the door of the yard, his figure standing there like an iron tower.
