casket of old days

Chapter 35

A few days ago, Chu Qiguang officially accepted Chen Gang as a servant, and also taught him the martial arts of Tianling Exercise Boxing, which made him even slightly grateful.

After all, all kinds of knowledge in this era are firmly in the hands of the powerful, not to mention the big killers such as martial arts. Unless ordinary farmers sell themselves to rich people, they will not even want to learn a little superficial kung fu.

Being able to learn real martial arts, my body has returned to normal, and my physical strength has been greatly improved after the Heavenly Demon Foundation Establishment Method.These are enough to make Chen Gang feel grateful and have a glimmer of hope for his future life.

And the hope for future life...in this world where the lower class is oppressed by gentry, officials, and religions, it may be one of the most important things.

After all, if he sold himself to a rich family as a domestic servant, Chen Gang would be worth three or four taels of silver at most.

Moreover, most of the servants were abused and beaten, which was commonplace.

In this world where life cannot be fully satisfied, ordinary people's ability to bear far exceeds that of the modern society where Chu Qiguang lived in the past.

Chu Qiguang looked at Chen Gang and nodded: "Good practice."

Chen Gang was praised by the other party, and a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Brother Dog, do you want to give me advice today?"

Chu Qiguang frowned and said, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Chen Gang lowered his head: "No...not."

Chu Qiguang said: "Before I saw that you were a bit talented, so I beat you a few times, and I treated you as a pointer to your martial arts. You are still enlightened and willing to endure hardships, so I accepted you."

"The fortune teller said that I was ordered by the prime minister to save the time, but I disagree. I think it is up to you to decide whether you succeed or fail when you come out to mess around. Since you decide to follow me, then I can show you the way, but the last way is to go. How about it is up to you.”

Chen Gang nodded silently when he heard the words, and Chu Qiguang put ten taels of silver in front of him.

"I'm going to the county tomorrow. If you're willing to follow me, the ten taels of silver will count as my settlement expenses for you. From today onwards, your life will be mine."

Chen Gang knew that he had no right to choose at all, but with the addition of ten taels of silver and the teaching of martial arts, his resistance gradually faded.

When asked by Chu Qiguang at this moment, he immediately accepted the money, and then went back to settle down at home.

As soon as Chen left here, Ergou sister ran out with the white cat Jinxiu in her arms. She seemed to have forgotten what happened just now, with a silly smile on her face.

She shouted at Tuesday Dog: "Brother! I want to practice martial arts too!"

Chu Qiguang looked at his sister kindly and said, "Silly boy, you can't practice."

The younger sister was not convinced: "Why?"

"Because you are stupid." Chu Qiguang patted his sister's head: "Idiots can't practice martial arts."

The younger sister shouted: "But I'm not stupid!"

Chu Qiguang asked: "If it is not a fool, can you think of letting the cat farm? How can the cat farm with so little strength?"

Qiao Zhi and Jinxiu on the side nodded secretly when they heard this, Qiao Zhi thought to himself, "It's not in vain that I started guiding Chu Qiguang so early, and finally led him to the right path."

Chu Qiguang went on to say: "You let the cat do laundry and collect firewood in the morning, catch fish and shrimp by the river in the afternoon, catch insects and pull weeds in the field at night. How suitable are these tasks for cats? You can't even think of this. Say you're not a fool?"

"I really didn't expect it!" My sister wondered: "But will it be too tiring to do so much work?"

"So what if you're tired?" Chu Qiguang said: "Think about the life of cats and cats, which is a life of animals who drink blood and don't know the age."

"But now I can be 007... that is, I have something to do every day, no longer need food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and I can live a civilized life. Do you think they can wash clothes in the wild? Can they make a fire? Eat cooked food? Is there a house to live in?"

"What you have done is to turn a wild animal with fur and blood into a corner of human civilization, and teach them to be human."

"This is their blessing!"

After listening to Chu Qiguang's words, although my sister didn't understand everything thoroughly, she still felt that these words were too reasonable.

She suddenly realized and nodded: "So that's the case! I will start teaching cats to work tomorrow! Brother, please tell me how to do it..."

Chu Qiguang thought in his heart: "Controlling monsters is only used for extortion. It would be too wasteful to ransack the house and destroy the family."Wouldn't it benefit the world if the productivity of monsters could be liberated?Let my silly sister do it first. '

Qiao Zhi, who was on the side, sighed in his heart after hearing this: "Chu Qiguang, this kid... is really full of evil thoughts. I must guide him well and kill the evil spirit in his heart. Let the human race work in the future, and the cat clan enjoy."

Qiao Zhi glanced at Jinxiu in his younger sister's arms, and seeing the thoughtful look on the other side, he felt anxious and meowed.

"Jinxiu! What are you thinking? Do you think what he said makes sense?"

"It's all a lie! It's all a lie! Don't believe a word!"

When Jin Xiu heard this, she gave Qiao Zhi a strange look, as if she was asking why.

Qiao Zhi hated the iron and said: "I said that if you want to cultivate, you must first learn to be human and civilized, but you are not asked to work for others! This is slavery and oppression. You must resist to the end!"

"Since his sister is going to teach you how to work, I will teach you how to fight against the oppression of the human race."

"When she talks to you in the future, if you pretend that you don't understand, you just stare at him forever, pretending to be stupid, and make her lose the confidence to teach you."

"Even if she teaches you, you must do it slowly and make mistakes. It's best to screw up at every turn, so that she loses the patience to teach you."

"Also remember to drink plenty of water and go to the toilet more on weekdays. Think about it, if you go to the toilet for half an hour every day, it is equivalent to 15 extra days of vacation a year!"

On this side, Qiao Zhi was passing on advanced fishing experience to his subordinates. On the other side, Chu Qiguang casually explained to his sister, and then went to see his mother.

Chu Qiguang casually explained to his mother that he wanted to go to the Yinglue Pavilion in the county with Wang Cailiang, and told the other party that he might live in the county in the future. If there is anything, you can contact the Wang family for major matters, and ask the Chen family next door for help. .

Then he gave his mother another ten taels of silver, but he didn't dare to give too much. On the one hand, he would use the remaining silver to buy Bailian ointment. not safe.

Ergou's mother listened carefully to Chu Qiguang's instructions, and just looked at Chu Qiguang with a smile, nodding from time to time, fully trusting her son.

But before Chu Qiguang left, she greeted the other party and so on, and then took out a wooden box and handed it to Ergou.

"This is left by your father, who said that if you want to leave this Wangjiazhuang in the future, let me give you the wooden box..."

Chu Qiguang looked at this scene with a little surprise. He took the wooden box and opened it, only to find a piece of bamboo with three large characters written on it.

Ergou's mother went on to say: "...Chu Qiguang, your father said that if you want to venture out of Wangjiazhuang in the future, you will always need a famous name. Ergou can't be called, so I will call him Chu Qiguang."
