Saint Qin Batu

The boy looked at the man with disdain, and took out a small bronze blade-like thing from his cuff.Somewhat reluctantly, he threw it at the visitor, and said in his mouth: "Here, a dollar, hurry up, don't be seen by others!"

"Good! Good! Good!" The visitor jumped into the carriage indifferently, flicked the whip, and before the whip hit the horse, the horse started to walk spontaneously, as if it had been trained.

Zhao Ling hurriedly changed his clothes and came to Father Zhao's yard.Father Zhao was taking care of his oriole at this time, when he heard the footsteps behind him, he didn't look at it, so he said, "Are you back?"

Zhao Ling stopped, about a foot away from Zhao's father, made a bow, and called his father.

"What's the matter, what's the old gentleman's attitude?"

"Mr. seems to like Zheng'er very much. He is almost certain that Zheng'er will be accepted as his disciple."

"Oh? How much do you like it?"

"Qing! Bag! Xiang! Grant!" Zhao Ling spit out four words one by one.

Father Zhao turned around and looked at Zhao Ling sharply.Zhao Ling was not afraid, and met his father's gaze, his expression unchanged.

Father Zhao stared at every part of Zhao Ling's face, as if he wanted to verify whether what Zhao Ling said was true.After about seven or eight seconds, he sighed slowly and said, "This is the good fortune of their mother and child!"

Zhao Ling was noncommittal about his father's evaluation, and then said slowly: "I'm going to ask my second brother to send money to Zheng'er in a few days, so that it can be used as a tuition fee."

"Hey! My Zhao family didn't do their best to help their mother and child when they were in distress. Now it seems that I don't know if it was right or wrong!" Father Zhao sighed.

"Father, don't worry about it. It's human nature to drive people away for profit!" Zhao Lingkuan explained.

"Since Zheng'er can be valued by the husband, he must be a rare smart person in the world. If we treat them like this today, I'm afraid we may not get anything in the future!"

"That's why Hai'er asks the second brother to deliver goods to the little sister, mother and child every time."

"En!" Zhao's father nodded, and said, "Yue'er has a straightforward personality, and she is the most sincere in taking care of their mother and son, without seeking a single bit. Perhaps, no matter how bad it is in the future, she can rely on this relationship to protect our Zhao family a little."

Zhao Ling nodded, indicating that he meant exactly that.Putting all the Zhao family's kindness towards Zhao Ji's mother and son on Zhao Yue also preserved the last trace of Zhao Ji's family affection for the Zhao family. It became a trace of guilt in Zhao Ji's heart.Then, maybe it will be the Zhao family's chance at that time.

Father Zhao looked at the silent elder son, sighed again, and said, "Why do you hate your younger sister? She was just a victim back then."

Zhao Ling continued to remain silent, and after coming over for a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "That's all the world is like!"

"Oh, yes, the world is like this, otherwise, how could I take over all her hatred for our Zhao family?" Father Zhao said softly.

Recalling the past, Zhao Ling's arms were slightly stiff when Zhao's father saw Zhao Ji's great transformation from a loving father to a strict father.Zhao Ling understood what his father meant, and felt guilty about his father's sacrifice.However, a trace of persistence in his heart made him unwilling to give up all the achievements now and the preparations he had made in the past.There is always a hurdle in Zhao Ling's heart, or it is his life's goal at this time.No one can help him, and perhaps only when he has accomplished his goal.

"Okay, you go." Father Zhao's slightly tired voice came.

"Wei!" Zhao Ling bowed deeply to Father Zhao, turned and left.

Looking at the eldest son who left, Father Zhao suddenly felt an unspeakable pain in his heart.This was not the first time, but this feeling still made the corners of his eyes moisten unconsciously.It wasn't until Zhao Ling left completely that Father Zhao calmed down and continued to take care of his oriole.He knew that the demonic barrier in Zhao Ling's heart could only be broken by himself!

……

Zhao Ji mother and son, today is really happy.On the way back, there was a lot of laughter.Even when passing by a meat stall, Zhao Ji made an exception and bought some meat back.

Staring at the meat in his mother's hand, Zhao Zheng couldn't help swallowing.Meat is just ordinary mutton, but for Zhao Zheng, it is the most delicious food today.Recalling Zhao Ji's craftsmanship, Zhao Zheng's saliva is about to burst.

Women in this era, no matter how high or low they are, can cook and weave.And Zhao Ji has been professionally trained, and her skills can be imagined.

The way back was not easy. The garbage piled up everywhere in Handan City, and the manure of cows, horses and sheep can be seen everywhere, so there is almost no place to step down on the road.At this moment, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but miss Zhao Ling's broken carriage.Although sitting is uncomfortable, at least it is much more comfortable than walking, isn't it?

When Zhao Zheng and Zhao Ji returned to their home, the sun was almost setting, and the sunset glow almost made the whole Handan city red.As soon as Zhao Zheng got home, he rushed to the water tank impatiently, and took a few swigs, ignoring that it hadn't burned yet.Although it is almost autumn now, the weather is still hot. In addition, the ancients wore long sleeves all year round. After walking for such a long time, Zhao Zheng's back was already wet.Even Zhao Ji was sweating profusely, panting softly.

However, Zhao Ji didn't rest for too long, so she picked up the mutton and walked to the kitchen.And Zhao Zheng was not far behind, and after running, he helped Zhao Ji pour water for a while, and helped Zhao Ji make a fire for a while.With a busy face, he almost wrote, "I want to eat meat."

For Zhao Zheng who was so active at this time, Zhao Ji just smiled lightly, and did not neglect her movements.After all, in her opinion, her son has achieved such an amazing achievement that today is worth celebrating.People always say that mothers dote on their children more, and the same is true for Zhao Ji.That's right, in her opinion, Zhao Zheng, as her son, being valued by a powerful person is already a great achievement!

Chapter 7 Farewell to the Elder Zhongyin

Today is Zhao Zheng's happiest day.Well, one of the reasons is naturally that he was valued by a famous capable person, and as expected, he will be able to apprentice tomorrow.However, deep in Zhao Zheng's heart, the mutton he ate tonight brought him more joy.

When Zhao Zheng had dinner, he felt sleepy.After all, he had walked for several hours today, and his mental state had also greatly improved, and his body, which was only seven years old, was really too much for him.Zhao Zheng said to Zhao Ji who was still cleaning up the dishes, then yawned and walked towards his room.

Looking at the thin figure gradually disappearing into the night, Zhao Ji showed a gratified smile. "Pa-ta!" A drop of tears fell on the bowl and chopsticks, but Zhao Ji didn't react at all, she was still dazed in the same shady scene.After a long time, a breeze blew past, and Zhao Ji felt the dry tears on her cheeks.Gently wiping away the tears with her sleeve, Zhao Ji picked up the dishes again. "Today is a happy day!" Zhao Ji kept thinking about such words in her heart.Maybe it was because she was tired, or maybe there were too many things that happened today, Zhao Ji did not continue to mend clothes under the oil lamp as usual, but went back to her room early.

Had a good night's dream, Zhao Zheng slept very soundly tonight.Perhaps because the smell of mutton still remained between his lips and teeth, Zhao Zheng actually dreamed of eating roasted whole lamb with his classmates in his previous life.The corners of the mouth were unconsciously covered with some crystal liquid, smashed the mouth, turned over, the scene in the dream also changed, this time it was the turn of the mutton skewers.

"Zheng'er, Zheng'er, wake up!" A pair of gentle hands gently pushed Zhao Zheng.Zhao Zhengji reluctantly opened his hazy eyes, just now he was still eating braised mutton!

"Mother, why are you here so early?" Zhao Zheng rubbed his eyes and said in a daze.

"Morning?" Zhao Ji said with a slight smile, "It's more than half of the time now!"

"What? More than half of the time has passed?" Zhao Zheng was shocked. Isn't it almost 07:30 in the later generations!

Zhao Zheng turned over abruptly, picked up the clothes he had put on the bedside, and put them on hastily, complaining: "Mother, why didn't you call me earlier! You have to go to Mr.'s house today, by mistake. It's too late!"

Facing Zhao Zheng's complaints, Zhao Ji patted his head amusedly, and scolded, "You slept with yourself, why are you still relying on your mother!"

"Uh, isn't it because you wake me up and get used to it?" Zhao Zheng was taken aback, and immediately found a reason to defend himself.

"Brat, you are getting more and more unruly!" Zhao Ji made a gesture to hit her again.Zhao Zheng hurriedly ran to the door, still shouting: "I'm going to lose time! My child is leaving first!"

"You haven't had breakfast yet!" Zhao Ji shouted.

"Not hungry!" Zhao Zheng had almost stepped through the gate, so he couldn't care less about having breakfast.

"This child." Zhao Ji shook her head helplessly, not worried that Zhao Zheng would be hungry.In her mind, as a capable man, the old man Zhongyin must have the habit of having lunch, and Zhao Zheng can also have a meal.

Because he was worried that being late would leave a bad impression on his future master, Zhao Zheng went all the way.I have to say that as an ancient person, his physical fitness is indeed much better.Not to mention that Zhao Zheng is just a seven-year-old child now, even in later generations, ordinary adults may not be able to persist in running for so long.

Although Zhao Zheng basically ran on the way to the old man Zhongyin, his seven-year-old calf was not much faster.After running and resting, it still took almost an hour to reach the door of the old man Zhongyin's house.

After tidying up his clothes and adjusting his breathing, Zhao Zheng stepped forward and stinged lightly.

"Squeak!" The dark and simple face of the old man Zhongyin appeared in front of Zhao Zheng.

"Disciple Zhao Zheng has met the teacher!" Zhao Zheng bowed respectfully.

The old man Zhongyin didn't speak, and didn't make any movements. After Zhao Zheng finished his apprenticeship ceremony, he said in surprise: "Boy, what are you talking about! When did the old man agree to accept you as a disciple?"

Zhao Zheng was taken aback, what's going on?

"I just remember that I told you yesterday that you will come today. It's good for you, you can take advantage of me as soon as you come up!" The old man Zhongyin looked angry, as if he had suffered a big loss.

Zhao Zheng was about to lose his chance, "You bastard didn't say it when I was saluting, but now you say it, and I will take advantage of you!" Zhao Zheng seemed to have been hit hard on the chest, and a mouthful of old blood was almost spurted out.

"What is a routine? This is it!" Zhao Zheng shouted in his heart, and for a while he felt like he was back in the 21st century.The ancients said that they are sincere, but what about the ancients who gave gifts?

Zhao Zheng asked himself that he has lived two lifetimes and is almost 30 years old.After living together with Zhao Ji for several years, he has matured a lot.Especially in the past few days, after experiencing that cold-blooded murder, his mind has grown a lot.

However, at this moment, Zhao Zheng still couldn't bear the anger in his heart.A mouthful of salty saliva spewed out: "You fart! It's obvious that you stand on my side!"
