No. 42 hurriedly bowed his head and said with great interest: "It's still the hall master who is wise, at the beginning, Murong Quan didn't believe that Tianchu was dead, and I took out a few ......Tianchu things according to the hall master's instructions."

Tie Lihua interrupted No. 42's words and said coldly: "Tell me the result directly." "

No. 42's expression was a little embarrassed and he said directly: "Murong Quan has already paid the remaining killing money, do we still want to continue our mission with Tianchu?"

A sneer appeared at the corner of Tie Lihua's mouth and said, "The best time has been missed, you leave for Qinchuan immediately, remember that you are not allowed to act rashly without my orders." Number 42 said yes and exited the room.

Out of Sanhe City, Tianchu found a hidden cave, and thought over and over again in his mind about how to reach Qinchuan as quickly as possible. In the end, he came to the conclusion that as long as he had enough money, everything could be solved. Thinking of this, he opened the burden that his father had prepared for him, and suddenly his heart was half cold, and he even had a trace of resentment. In addition to two coarse cloth clothes and a map, there was only a pitiful few taels of silver.

Tian Chu's face was extremely ugly, he frantically tore his hair, kicked over the thing in front of him, only to find a red box rolling out of his clothes. Looking at the box that suddenly appeared, there was a glimmer of hope in his heart, could it be that his father hid the money in the box? Thinking of this, he quickly picked up the box and couldn't wait to open it.

I saw a soft white light spread around as the lid of the box was opened, and when everything calmed down, a jade gui appeared in front of me. Yugui is in the shape of a bird with fluttering wings and flying, crystal clear, flowing with a warm luster. Tian Chu picked up Yugui, and a coolness spread along his arm to his whole body, and the whole person seemed to be in Yugui.

Tian Chu had long forgotten the unhappiness in his heart just now, and watched Yugui over and over again. Since ancient times, jade symbolizes the gentleman, the gentleman's body does not leave the jade, the jade does not leave the body, and there is also the saying that the jade is the most important weapon of the country. Only then did he vaguely understand his father's intentions.

Tian Chu tied Yugui with a red rope and hung it around his neck, and secretly swore in his heart that he would definitely make a name for himself when he went to Qinchuan, and with this firm dream, he sat cross-legged on the ground and fell asleep.

The early morning mountain stream presents a different view, with a layer of crystal ice hanging from the branches of the trees, and birds chirping freely. Tian Chu's mood also changed with the sunny weather, and he packed up his baggage and walked out of the cave with a long sword on his back.

Along the way, he walked lightly, like an innocent child, and stopped from time to time to enjoy the beautiful scenery around him and enjoy the magic of nature, which was also the first time he felt that his choice was the right one after leaving the imperial capital. It was almost noon, Tianchu came to a mountain village, he touched his shriveled stomach and walked towards a seemingly wealthy family.

After a dull knock on the door, the heavy door was opened with a "creaking" sound. A middle-aged man who looked like a family member stretched out his head, Tian Chu hurriedly stepped forward and tried to make his attitude as humble as possible, and said with a smile: "This eldest brother, the younger brother is passing through your land, and the day is approaching, can you excuse yourself for a quick meal." "

Jia Ding looked at Tianchu carefully, frowned and shouted: "Where did you come from to stink, roll ......" and said, "Peng" closed the door.

The first time he stooped down to someone and ate a closed door, Tian Chu was stunned at first, and immediately scolded: "Fuck the dog slave, the dog looks down on people, this young master tore your ......" was scolding, an old man came to Tian Chu's side and advised: "Outsiders, stop talking, don't let them listen to it and cause trouble." "

Tian Chu glanced at the old man, frowned, and said, "Old man, what did you just say? Are you ordering Young Master Ben?" He originally had no good impression of civilians, but as soon as he came into contact, his thoughts were confirmed, and his attitude couldn't help but become extremely arrogant.

The old man didn't get angry but laughed, "Young people, don't get me wrong, the old man doesn't mean that, if you're hungry, come with me." With that, the old man turned around and walked tremblingly towards a simple courtyard.

Looking at the old man's back, Tian Chu touched his shriveled stomach, turned around and kicked at the door, and said angrily: "Damn, I'll come back to settle accounts for you when the young master is full." "

Following the old man, Tianchu swaggered into the courtyard, and then an old woman's voice came from the house: "Old man, are you back so soon?"

The old man did not answer the old woman's words, but shouted loudly, "Get some food, this little brother is hungry." As he spoke, he hurriedly sat down with Luo Tianchu.

The old woman didn't reply, poked her head out of the room, glanced at Tianchu and shrank back. After a while, he brought out a bowl of boiled sweet potatoes and placed them on the table in the courtyard.

Tian Chu looked at the swarthy sweet potato, his brows were tightly wrinkled together, he looked up at the old man and then at the old woman and asked suspiciously, "What is this?"

Listening to Tianchu's words, the old couple looked at each other in a daze, and the old man looked at Tianchu carefully and said, "Childe is from a big city, right?"

Tian Chu tilted his head and thought for a while, and did not answer the old man's question directly, and said, "I just haven't eaten this thing, and I'm a little curious." "

The old man gave Tian Chu a brief introduction, Tian Chu picked up a piece of sweet potato and took a bite cautiously, maybe it was the first time to eat it, and it tasted good. While eating, a young man outside the door shouted: "Dad, mother, I'm back." He walked into the courtyard with a bundle of firewood on his back. The old woman hurriedly greeted and took the sickle in the middle-aged man's hand and said, "Ping'er is back, I'm hungry, I'm going to rest, my mother will prepare food for you." "

The middle-aged man put down the firewood on his back, smiled and said, "Mother, I'm not tired." As he spoke, he walked to the water tank under the eaves, scooped up a scoop of water, and drank it for a while. When he saw Tian Chu at the table, he was a little surprised, smiled shyly, and said, "Guest?"

The old man pointed to the middle-aged man who came and said, "This is the dog Langping" and looked at Tianchu again and said: "This little brother came from another country and passed through our village to rest at home." "

Tianchu glanced at Lang Ping without speaking, and after a while, the old woman put a big bowl in front of Lang Ping, and Lang Ping took the bowl and ate it in a big gulp. Tianchu saw that Lang Ping was eating very fragrantly, and then looked at the sweet potato in his hand, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "What are you eating, why don't you eat sweet potatoes?"

Lang Ping swallowed the last bite, wiped his mouth rudely, and said with a smile: "This is wild vegetable soup I eat, it's too wasteful to eat sweet potatoes, and I don't like to eat sweet potatoes either." "

Tianchu's face changed slightly, and he thought that the delicious ones were left for his son, but the unpalatable sweet potatoes were given to me to eat, and it was really a Diao Min. But he said quietly, "Old woman, do you still have wild vegetable soup?" "

The old woman didn't agree to Tianchu immediately, but looked at the old man in embarrassment, and the old man smiled and said, "Since the little brother wants to drink wild vegetable soup, the old woman, you can go and serve a bowl." "

Looking at the wild vegetable soup brought by the old woman, she frowned a little unhappy, and said in a commanding tone, "Fetch me a spoon." This made the face of the family of three a little ugly, and the old man said embarrassedly: "Little brother, you will just take a moment, our poor family is not as rich as you, and there are no expensive tableware at home." "

Tian Chu muttered to himself, "Is the spoon very valuable?" and gently picked up the bowl and took a sip, and a sticky and thick liquid was sucked into his mouth. Suddenly, a strong bitter taste rushed straight to his head, and he frowned and spit out with a "wow" sound, looking at Lang Ping in disbelief, really doubting how he ate it.

This time, Tianchu didn't play the young master's temper for the first time, but just wiped his mouth gently. When he learned that the family could not even provide food and clothing, he had a huge doubt in his heart, what was hidden behind the powerful economy of the Gilded Empire?

Tian Chu couldn't help but ask: "Old man, your life is so difficult, doesn't the empire have any policies?"

The old man just smiled slightly and didn't speak, but Lang Ping on the side said emotionally: "The empire will not care about the life and death of our poor. In addition to paying the necessary taxes and being exploited by bullies, I was physically strong and could usually go up the mountain to chop wood for some money, and some people couldn't even drink wild vegetable soup. "

At this time, there was a shout outside the door, "Old man Lang, today is the deadline, if you can't hand it over, don't blame me for not thinking about the friendship of my neighbors." "The rudimentary fence door was kicked open.

The old man's face changed slightly, and he quickly got up. At this time, the person who spoke had already walked to the table, glanced at Tian Chu and then looked at the sweet potatoes on the table and sneered: "Okay, you keep saying that you don't have food, the lord sympathizes with you, but you still have sweet potatoes to entertain someone who asks for food." "

Seeing someone coming, Tianchu stood up with a "rub". This person is none other than the previous family member of a large family, who actually regarded the dignified young master of the Heavenly Family as a begging for food. couldn't help but scold angrily: "Dog minion, blind your dog eyes, today Young Master Ben will let you have a long memory." As he spoke, he kicked at the family hard.

Jiading is used to running rampant in this area, where would he have thought that he could encounter hard stubble in his own one-third of an acre, and he was kicked by Tianchu without defense. The old man saw that the matter was going to make a big fuss, so he hurriedly grabbed the family and begged: "Xiao Mao is angry, the child is not sensible, you adults don't bother with him." "

"your old man, I advise you to be nosy. Damn, dare to play tricks with Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will send you to see the king of Hades. As soon as the family pushed the old man away, he waved his hand towards Tianchu.

Hearing the sound of the "bell", the old man let out a muffled snort and hit his head on the table leg, and immediately blood flowed. The old woman screamed and threw herself down beside the old man, who turned pale and opened his mouth before he could say a word.

Lang Ping roared angrily, picked up the stick next to him and threw it at Jiading, Jiading didn't expect to hurt the old man, and was stunned for a moment, and the wooden stick of "Peng" smashed heavily on his head and broke into two. The family suddenly had gold stars in his eyes, and he ran out with his head protected.

Lang Ping still didn't let go and strode out, only to hear the old woman behind him shouting: "Ping'er...... Come and see your father......" Tianchu on the side kept his face calm and did not move, Lang Ping dropped the stick in his hand and knelt down beside the old man, calling anxiously: "Dad, wake up, don't scare Ping'er." "

After a while, the old man slowly opened his eyes and said angrily: "Ping'er, you are in trouble, go quickly." Get out of here with this little guy. "

Lang Ping wiped the tears on his face and said stubbornly: "No, I'm not leaving, I'm not afraid of them." "

The old man looked at Tian Chu not far away, and waved his hand with difficulty to signal Tian Chu to come over. Tian Chu had a cold face, completely unaware that the kick he had just made the family face destruction. He hesitated in his heart and reluctantly walked to the old man's side, and the old man said intermittently: "Little brother, Ping'er has a big disaster today, please take him out of here for the sake of a meal." Tian Chu looked at Lang Ping, and secretly calculated in his heart, it would not be bad to have a subordinate along the way. He smiled coldly in his heart, but said with a rather embarrassed face: "It's not impossible to bring Lang Ping, it's just ......."

The old man had already guessed the general situation when he saw Tianchu's expression, and coughed lightly twice and said, "Little brother, don't worry, Ping'er has been honest since she was a child, and she won't cause you trouble." Then he turned to Lang Ping and said, "Ping'er, you will follow this little brother in the future, you must be obedient." "

Lang Ping cried: "No, I will never leave the second elder." "

The old man shook his head lightly and said, "I know you are worried about us, as long as you leave, they will not embarrass me and your mother." "

"But ......" Lang Ping was about to say something, but the old man interrupted him and said anxiously: "Don't do it, go quickly, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave." "

Tian Chu was powerless, so he naturally knew what trouble he would have if he stayed, so he hurriedly urged Lang Ping, who gritted his teeth fiercely and followed Tian Chu to the outside of the village.
