Unlimited job transfers starting from permanent worker

Chapter 140

"It's dry, be careful with candles."

At night, Baishui County.The streets were empty and white and cold.

Only the old watchman, banging his clapper, passed by alone on the street.

There is a liquor store at the corner of the street, and the lights are still on at this time, illuminating a treasured space in front of the door.

Travelers who return late, coolies who work, and handymen who run errands for wealthy families are used to coming here to ask for a drink.

The old watchman walked to the wine shop, put his clapper on his waist, and took out two pennies from his arms: "Boss, bring me a bowl of wine to warm it up."

The window of the wine shop is the counter. Some people buy wine to take away, while others will order a side dish and chat while drinking.

Next to the counter is a charcoal stove with wine and several braised meats on it, and behind the window are several tables.

The boss and the watchman filled a bowl of wine and placed it in front of the counter, still steaming in the late autumn night.

The old watchman picked up the wine bowl. He drank slowly and watched the braised pork on the stove, including pig's trotters, pig's head, pig's ears...

"Lao Li, would you like a plate of pig ears?" the boss teased.

A hint of embarrassment appeared on the wrinkled face of the old watchman. He waved his hands quickly: "No, no, just have a bowl of wine to warm yourself up."

"Old Li Tou, what do you do with so much money? You have to spend it when you need it. You won't take it away if you live or die." The boss teased.

"Boss, what do you know? Lao Li's son is rushing to take the exam. Maybe when he comes back this time, he will become a master."

"Lao Li is saving money to buy his son an official title."

"Old Li, when we become prosperous in the future, don't forget our neighbors."

Since the old watchman appeared, the atmosphere in the tavern suddenly became lively, and the expressions on the faces of the drinkers relaxed, as if they all had endless things to say.

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Lao Li held the wine bowl, his face flushed even redder. He didn't know what he was thinking of, and he whispered in a low voice: "My son, my son..."

Snapped!
A big hand fell on his shoulder. Lao Li shook his hand and the wine bowl fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.

He turned around and saw a bald man with a sinewy face standing behind him.

"Old Li Tou, what are you doing? You scared me."

Seeing this person appear, the boss and the drinkers became quiet.

This gangster, nicknamed Niu Heng, was a street thug. He had no father, no mother, no relatives, no relatives, and he beat up all over the street and scolded half the city.

Everyone was annoyed and worried about him, but there was nothing they could do.

Seeing Niu Heng appear, the old watchman shivered subconsciously. Before he could speak, Niu Heng took the lead.

"Old man Li, what are you doing? Just be careful, okay? Look, the new boots I bought are all stained by you. What do you think we should do?"

"I pay, I pay..."

"Look what you said, it sounds like I'm blackmailing you, so I can just pay you a few hundred yuan."

"I don't have that much money."

"Then you write an IOU to me. I'm not an unreasonable person. You can pay back the remaining money slowly."

The old watchman searched all over his body, but only found dozens of pennies. Niu Heng happily took it and walked into the wine shop.

"Boss, bring a pot of good wine and cut half a catty of pig's head into fat." Niu Heng shook the copper plate in his hand and said, "I'm rich."

The old watchman squatted in the corner of the street, thought about it, and cried.

The drinkers in the wine shop looked at each other and felt that they couldn't bear it. But facing Niu Heng, no one dared to say anything for fear of getting into trouble.

I had no choice but to lower my head and drink in silence so that I could leave early.

"What are you calling for mourning? Your father is not dead yet." Niu Heng said impatiently.

The crying outside the house quieted down, except for a few sobs occasionally.

No one spoke in the wine shop. The boss shook the rag on his body and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's colder this year than last year."

After a while, a figure appeared on the long street in the distance. He was walking in a hurry and was covered in dust. When he arrived in front of the wine shop, the owner of the wine shop couldn't help but his eyes lit up:
What a handsome young man.

He was tall and slender, wearing blue coarse cloth clothes, and had a bundle on his shoulders, as if he had walked a long way.

"What does the guest want?"

"Cut some meat and warm half a catty of wine." The young man thought for a while and added: "Let's go to the bar first."

He sat in the wine shop and put down his baggage.

For some reason, the wine shop that was lifeless just now suddenly became full of life after this young man walked in.

"The guest doesn't seem to be a local." The boss was the first to break the silence.

"Come here from Pingzhou." The young man took a sip of his wine and muttered: "I was in a hurry and missed my dormitory. Fortunately, the boss kept the door open, otherwise I would have been sleeping on the street."

"It's such a bad weather to be sleeping on the street and you'll freeze to death if you're not careful."

"Look, I'm still young, but I still have to take care of my body."

"It's okay, it's okay."

The young man laughed for a while, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Boss, I want to ask you something. Do you know how to get to Lijiagou?"

"Lijiagou, that Lijiagou..."

"Uh……"

The boss said: "There are four or five Lijiagou in Baishui County. I don't know which one you are talking about?"

"This……"

This young man was Yang Liang who came from Pingzhou. He went to Beijing to take the exam and happened to pass by Baishui County to look for Old Man Li.But I passed by Lijiagou when I was fleeing. I was so panicked that I forgot which way to go.

"North of the city, it should be Lijiagou in the north of the city?" Yang Liang's eyes suddenly lit up.

The boss frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it."

"Uh……"

Yang Liang fell silent again.

Niu rolled his eyes and suddenly said, "I know Lijiagou in the north of the city. My third uncle lives there."

"Oh?" Yang Liang's eyes lit up and he said, "Where is it?"

"How can you get on the road when it's so dark? Besides, you can't explain a sentence or two clearly." Niu Heng chuckled and said, "If you can trust me, stay at my house today. You have to stay anyway." Wait until dawn tomorrow and I will take you for a walk."

Yang Liang clasped his hands together and said, "That's the best thing. When the time comes, I'll calculate the store payment for you."

"Hey, I don't care about money. I'm here to help you out. We, the Niu people, have nothing but loyalty."

"Cough cough."

The boss coughed twice and wanted to remind Yang Liang, but he was afraid of this bully and worried about getting into trouble.

He knew that this Niu Heng might have evil intentions when he saw his wealth.

People like Yang Liang who travel long distances must carry a lot of gold and silver with them.

If he followed Niu Heng away, he might not see him tomorrow.

Ugh……

Young people still have no experience in the world of martial arts.

The people of Pingzhou are fierce and fierce, and this kind of thing is not new.

But the boss looked at this young man and felt somewhat sorry for him.

"Brother, what are you doing on your way so late at night?"

"Oh, I came to Beijing to take the exam." Yang Liang said.

"Could it be that you still want to lift people?" the boss asked, and everyone else in the room also became interested.

Yang Liang laughed and said nothing.

"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect you to be so young." The boss said with emotion: "I heard that if you pass the imperial examination, you will be considered an official. The imperial court has a list of people. If you pass the imperial examination, you will be a high official. Already." The boss said.

The people in the store were talking to each other in a very lively manner.

Niu Heng stood there, his face changing color.

He had already seen that Yang Liang's baggage was hard and there must be a lot of yellow and white stuff.

However, if you attack someone, it will definitely be a big case, and maybe someone will be killed.

He thought for a moment and suddenly thought, forget it, the worst he can do is go up to the mountains and become a bandit, drinking and eating meat, that would be a pleasure.

At this time, the old watchman outside the house walked in shakily and said: "Brother, have you ever heard of a young man named Li in Pingzhou?"

Yang Liang raised his head and suddenly his eyes lit up when he saw the old watchman in front of him.

The old watchman was stunned, his eyes widened, and he was speechless for a while.

"Go, go, Lao Litou." Niu Heng waved his hand impatiently: "You still think your son can pass the exam? There is that mugwort on your ancestral grave."

Snapped!
With a clear sound, Yang Liang pushed his hand away, strode over, and held the old watchman's shoulder.

The old watchman burst into tears before he could speak, and said, "Yang'er, are you my Yang'er?"

Yang Liang also felt sad and said, "Dad, it's me, I'm back."

Old Man Li seemed to be unable to believe his eyes. He rubbed the tears in his eyes and said, "Yang'er, did you pass the examination?"

Yang Liang nodded: "I passed the exam."

hiss!
Several people in the wine shop took a breath. Everyone knew that this old Li Tou had no relatives in the city and usually lived under a broken wall.

He did say that one of his sons was rushing to take the exam, but no one took it seriously.

I didn't expect this to be true.

Now his son passed the exam and came back.

Everyone couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, thinking about whether they had offended him in ordinary times, so as not to be retaliated by his son.

"Old Li...Brother Old Li..." The boss came over with a smile and said, "Here, you have a bowl of wine to warm yourself up. I tell you, this is a good thing. You shouldn't cry, you should be happy."

"Yes, you should be happy. From now on, you will enjoy the blessings with your son."

Niu Heng rolled his eyes and said, "Old Li, since your son is back, it's time to settle our accounts."

"What kind of account is this?" Yang Liang asked curiously.

Old Man Li hesitated to speak.

Niu Hengdao: "Let me tell you, your father is thanks to me for taking care of you when you are not at home. Otherwise, you will be bullied to death. No, you will owe me some money. You can pay me back 100 taels casually." That’s enough, I won’t give you the rest.”

As he spoke, he raised his big hand and patted Yang Liang on the shoulder.

Without turning his head, Yang Liang grabbed his palm, then swung it hard, and his body fell heavily to the ground with a snap.

"Ouch." Niu Heng screamed like a pig.

Yang Liang slowly turned his head, looked at Niu Heng on the ground, and said: "Don't say there is no such debt, even if there is, I may not be able to pay it back."

Niu Heng raised his head and saw Yang Liang's eyes. The murderous intent in his eyes was as real as ever. He felt a chill between his legs and subconsciously urinated.
