wicked immortal

ps: The red ticket has insufficient stamina, and the domineering needs fierce fire support!

"Yes, at least tens of thousands. Better ones are more expensive. Hey... Linger, our family has no money, and my father has a lot of things to buy." Wan Ziyu sighed.

"Father wants crystals?" Wan Ling'er rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, last time you gave Dad that top-quality spar, Dad's cultivation base has greatly increased, but he is still a little bit away from breaking through, just a little bit, and there must be one more... I mean, tell me Well...cough cough...tell me..." Seeing Chen's unkind expression, Wan Ziyu coughed twice in embarrassment.

"The two of you are not doing business, but you spend money all day long. Although Wanjia has some property, its profits are meager. It has to support hundreds of people. Five years ago, you spent money to buy a spar. There was almost a problem with Wanjia's funds, and later, Ling'er clamored for a flying sword, and even emptied the family's wealth, if you continue to toss like this, Wanjia will close down sooner or later." Chen He snorted coldly.

"Ahem... Ling'er is a girl, it's right to buy a better flying sword for self-defense, but here... it's a bit inappropriate, don't worry, I will never buy spar again..." Wan Ziyu Swear it.

"You must buy it. You only have this little hobby. When Wanjia's financial resources recover, I will buy you some spar, so that you won't be sad all day long." Chen sighed.

"Thank you ma'am, thank you ma'am." Wan Ziyu was overjoyed.

"I didn't say buy it now, so don't thank me too early." Chen gave Wan Ziyu a white look.

"Hmm, no hurry, no hurry."

"By the way, I will go to Tongcheng in a few days, and I will stay for a few days every time I go there. I'm afraid it will take more than a month, and I may not come back until the Chinese New Year. You two should settle down and don't mess around. "

"Ma'am, don't worry, just go, I will help you watch Ling'er."

"Still watching me, I'm the one watching you." Wan Ling'er snorted.

"Don't make noise. In short, if any of you are restless, don't even think about shopping in the future."

"Of course. Hey, ma'am, didn't we go to Tongcheng last year? What's the matter this year?"

"My sister-in-law gave birth again."

"Birth again." Wan Ziyu widened his eyes and said, "Didn't he already give birth to five?"

"Yes, the sixth child is born this time, and the population is really thriving... Hey, our Wan family..." Mrs. Chen glanced at Wan Ling'er, with a trace of melancholy on her face.

"Our Wan family is doing well. Look, Linger is so cute. By the way, why don't you let me and Linger accompany you?" Wan Ziyu quickly changed the topic.

"Recently, Xujiaqiao is a bit chaotic. It's better for you and Ling'er to stay at home. I'll go and go back quickly. Well, I'm tired, so I'll go to rest for a while." Chen seemed to be thinking about it, frowned, and put down his hands Needlework, went into the inner room.

"Father, why don't you have more children?" Wan Linger asked after Chen Shi left.

"This... your mother is a little sick, and she can't have a baby for the time being." Wan Ziyu hesitated for a moment, then sighed.

"no way?"

"There is a way. I heard that in Fuyang Mountain ("Shan Hai Jing? Fuyang Mountain"), there is a wild animal called Lushu on the mountain. If you eat it, you can reproduce."

"Then why not capture it?"

"Grandma, it was in the prehistoric generation, there were hundreds of thousands of mountains, and it was just a legend. You can't find it anywhere. If you say capture it, you can capture it..."

……

Time goes by unconsciously, and it seems that there is only more than a month before the New Year, and the weather is getting colder and colder.

The number of people paying rent gradually decreased, and many day laborers went home. However, Wanjia East Courtyard did not become idle.

The mountains of grain in the warehouses of the East Yard began to be transported to the big cities, and every day a team of horses would leave the East Yard with the grain on their camels.

Zhao Yuan found that, in addition to the porters, some tall and tough men began to appear in the cavalry. Those big men were not afraid of the cold, wore leather armor, and carried weapons with them. They were extremely arrogant in the east courtyard. Incur beatings and scolding.

This strange phenomenon caught Zhao Yuan's attention.

It turns out that the Wan family has been around for more than two months, and these people have never been seen before. Moreover, these people came with the horse team.

On this day, another group of rough men with strange faces came along with the horse team.

"Brother Pao, who are those people?" Zhao Yuan and Zhu Dapao were strolling in the east courtyard of the Wanjia. When he stayed with Zhao Yuan, Zhao Yuan asked by the way, pointing to the group of big men who were resting by the well. .

"Underground Bodyguard." Zhu Dapao took a look and said in a low voice, "They are all rough people, don't mess with them."

"What is an underground bodyguard?" Zhao Yuan looked puzzled. He had heard of bodyguards, but he had never heard of underground bodyguards.

"It's just some people in the world who are not qualified to be bodyguards. They secretly undertake some business to make a living. Our Wanjia deals in some agricultural products. The capital is small and the profit is thin. We can't afford those regular bodyguards, so we can only hire some underground bodyguards. Follow along for protection."

"Why did you invite me, remember that I didn't invite you before?"

"This year's weather is abnormal, especially cold. I heard that many places suffered from drought, floods, harvest loss, and famine. There are green forest robbers on some official roads. It is said that in some places, there are still people who occupy the mountains and become kings. There are hundreds or thousands at every turn. Even the government can’t handle it. Our side is pretty good, just some petty thieves, and some underground bodyguards are enough to deal with it.”

"Oh……"

"By the way, do you know Ling'er?" Zhu Dapao asked suddenly and casually.

"Linger, who?"

"Wan Ling'er." Zhu Dapao was taken aback, he saw that Zhao Yuan was not pretending.

"I don't know." Zhao Yuan shook his head.

"However, she said she knew you and asked you a few times." Zhu Dapao showed a trace of suspicion on his face.

"Oh... you mean the girl who came to the East Court last time?"

"Yeah, it's her, she is the young lady of our Wan family." Zhu Dapao was refreshed, and looked at Zhao Yuan with wide eyes, as if he wanted to see through Zhao Yuan's internal organs.

"When I passed Xiaoyang Mountain once, I met Miss."

"I saw it once."

"once."

"Oh..." Zhu Dapao seemed relieved a lot.

"Pillar, work harder, hurry up!"

"well!"

Just when Zhu Dapao was asking Zhao Yuan, suddenly there was a burst of applause and booing. The two looked over and saw a large group of people gathered in a circle by the well. The worker was wrestling with an underground bodyguard on a small wooden table.

The two were in a stalemate, with bulging veins on their necks and flushed faces.

"One, two, three!" Suddenly, the escort yelled, and with a sudden effort, the porter fell down, "Haha, give me money, you're such a bear, and you want to compete with me. "

The porter took out a few imperial coins from his pocket with a frustrated expression.

It turned out that everyone was idle and doing nothing, and someone proposed a competition whose hands were stronger, and made some small bets.

"Who else will come? Come one by one." After standing up straight, the victorious bodyguard was extremely majestic, like an iron tower, and he looked like a powerful man.

Another porter went up to fight, but he just yelled "one" and then fell down.

Several porters lost one after another, and a group of porters were unconvinced, but there was nothing they could do.

"Call the iron ox." A porter suggested.

"That's right, we actually forgot about Tie Niu and called him here."

"Go ahead, call all of you here, sir, I am not afraid of wheel battles, haha..." The bodyguard laughed arrogantly.

Soon, someone with trouble called the Iron Bull who was nesting in the room and warmed up by the fire.

"Just you?" The bodyguard who looked like an iron tower looked down at the short iron ox with a look of contempt.

"Come on," Tieniu said without much words, and put his hands on the wooden table.

"How much is the bet?" The bodyguard was not in a hurry, with a playful look on his face.

"One hundred imperial coins."

"One hundred! Hahaha, no, no, five hundred! Bet or not?"

"Five hundred...I won't bet anymore..." Tieniu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.Five hundred imperial coins is a large amount for a porter, equivalent to nearly half a month's salary.

"Can I advance five hundred imperial coins?" Zhao Yuan asked Zhu Dapao beside him in a low voice.

"can."

"Brother Tie Niu, I'll help you pay five hundred. If you lose, it's mine. If you win, we'll be half." Although Zhao Yuan and Tie Niu had known each other not long ago, they had a good relationship, so naturally they didn't want to see Tie Niu suffer.

"Okay!" Tieniu glanced at Zhao Yuan, gritted his teeth, and nodded fiercely.

The atmosphere became heated, and almost all the workers in the East Yard gathered around. Everyone hoped that Tieniu would win. After all, Tie Niu was the trump card of the East Yard.

The two squatted in the horse stance, their arms were clenched tightly, and with a sound of "start", the two exerted their strength at the same time.
