Chapter 130: Do something about it (Second update)
"ah?"
Hu Ma knew that the old shopkeeper had long wanted to leave, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.
Seeing Hu Ma's expression of surprise, the old shopkeeper just smiled and nodded to her side. The girl Wu He next to her picked up the wine flask, filled the cup in front of Hu Ma, and then filled it up for the old shopkeeper.
The old shopkeeper picked up the wine glass, gestured to Hu Ma, and sighed softly: "I can't stay any longer. I just came here and left now. It's hard to explain to the boss. Secondly, I always feel that I owe you something, and I want to help you."
Plan for a future.”
"Now that the big deal has been decided, I have nothing to worry about, why don't I just leave right now?"
"..."
"Is the matter settled?"
Hu Ma noticed the key to the old shopkeeper's words and immediately cast a curious look.
"Haha, you have done a good job in this achievement."
The old shopkeeper looked at Hu Ma with a smile and praised: "Young people are indeed more diligent in doing things. When I was young, I might not have had such courage to fight for such a batch of blood food.
In this matter, you can be regarded as helping yourself."
As he spoke, he explained to Hu Ma: "I have submitted a letter of recommendation to the superiors before, but it was suppressed and no one gave me an accurate word. I think the superiors were not at ease and handed over this Zhuangzi to a young man like you."
on the body."
"But this time, I received news that those Hongxiang disciples have accomplished this great feat, and your reputation has also gone to the people above."
"This way, it will be much easier for me to recommend you."
"With me as your guarantor and these two great achievements as a foundation, you are younger and can take care of Zhuangzi."
"..."
"really……"
Hearing what the old shopkeeper said, Hu Ma felt slightly relieved.
No wonder, after this batch of blood food had been in the city for four or five days, there was no sign of any reward.
Is it because of the recommendation of the old shopkeeper that the two things were merged into one?
"You have the ability, which is a good thing, but..."
The old shopkeeper, seeing Hu Ma's thoughtful expression, did not get carried away, but was silent for a while. He looked at Hu Ma deeply with his eyes. After a long time, he sighed in a low voice and said: "Before leaving,
I have to tell you something no matter what."
"As a shopkeeper, you can practice your practice peacefully, and don't get involved in other things..."
"..."
Hearing the difference in his voice, Hu Ma raised his head and looked over, and said seriously: "Please tell me from the shopkeeper."
"Nothing to say, just a word behind closed doors."
The old shopkeeper waved his hand and sighed: "In today's world, evil spirits are everywhere, and the world is in chaos. It is difficult for the government offices in the prefectures and counties, and the masters of the family who own tens of thousands of acres of fertile land to protect themselves, let alone those of us who worship evil spirits and eat blood."
The Blood Food Gang looking for a living?"
"Those Hongxiang disciples who have worshiped the Red Lantern Empress, their lives have been put in the hands of the Empress since joining the association. It is difficult for them to have second thoughts and they have to fight for their lives."
"But the ability of us watchers is our own, so we don't have to force ourselves into their circle..."
"No matter how powerful and majestic the Red Lantern Empress is..."
"..."
At this point, the old shopkeeper paused slightly, and then slowly said: "But after all, she is not..."
"people."
"..."
When Leng Buding heard this, Hu Ma immediately raised his head and glanced at the old shopkeeper.
This old shopkeeper has a deep mind and a big grudge. He cares about his daughter. Although he has taught him the skills of a New Year's Eve watcher, he also has his own plans and takes advantage of most of her.
Now these words can be regarded as the most sincere words since the two of them got to know each other.
"Shopkeeper, I understand."
He bowed to the old shopkeeper seriously and said, "I only believe in our own abilities and don't care about others."
When the old shopkeeper heard this, he felt relieved and took a deep look at Hu Ma.
I don’t know if I ever regretted that mistake in my heart.
"Brother Huma, now that I'm gone, I don't know when I will see you again..."
But in this silence, the girl Wu He next to her spoke softly. She put on a black cotton-padded jacket with plush edges and a belt. If she covered her head and face, she looked like a kid.
Now that the weather is getting hotter, it is normal for her to wear this outfit in winter, but now it feels a little too thick. But thinking about her condition, she knows that she can only cover it up like this.
Now, she picked up the jug and carefully poured wine for Hu Ma, her eyes red.
"What do you mean?"
Hu Ma smiled and said: "When you heal the injury, won't you see it again?"
As he spoke, he asked the old shopkeeper: "The whereabouts of the Zhao family, the magic hand that the shopkeeper mentioned?"
"Not sure yet."
When the old shopkeeper heard this, he also smiled bitterly and said: "How can it be so easy to find someone with ten surnames?"
"However, thanks to this old face, I asked my friends in the city to ask around and got some clues. Now I have to rush over and try my luck. Thanks to the sapphire ointment you asked for from the Empress Association before,
Only Nizi can bear the pain of traveling."
"But the Zhao family, the master of magic, says that the dragon has its head but not its tail. Whether we can find it or not depends on our lives."
"..."
"What are the ten surnames of this family?"
Hu Ma thought silently, but seeing that their father and daughter were in a bad mood, she didn't say much, just a few words of comfort.
People were about to leave, and after getting the best treatment for themselves, Hu Mabia also temporarily let go of other things and had this meal with them.
Originally, he was invited, but shopkeeper Wu was tired and not very interested. Sister Wu He was reluctant to leave, but it was a girl's family, so in the end it was Hu Ma who accompanied them to talk, deliberately changing the subject and talking about spiritual practice.
Get involved with Jianghu and dispel the haze.
I have to admit that Sister Wu He knows a lot about Yin and Yang cultivation and other matters.
In the early days, Hu Ma followed her and learned some basics of the Yin and Yang sects, and then learned some of the techniques in the Zhensui book. Now that they were about to part ways, Wu He knew everything.
"This girl was also very clever in her early years, and there are still people who want to recruit her into the sect..."
Even the old shopkeeper sighed softly when he heard Hu Ma complimenting Wu He on how much she knew. His expression was a bit proud, but he turned around and sighed again.
I drank a few glasses of wine and drank as much as I could.
When I came out of Zhuangzi, it was already the willow branches above the moon, and Hu Ma was thinking silently in her heart.
Can you really get the position of shopkeeper by yourself?
I felt a little uneasy for a while. After all, I had only joined the Queens Association for less than a year. After working for one season, I directly realized the second-level jump from assistant to shopkeeper. It was somewhat exaggerated.
But after thinking about it again, I felt that this seemed reasonable.
It is true that I am just a young man who just started working in Temple Street, but I have already done a lot of work for the club, and with the boss's recommendation, is it too much to be the leader of a small place?
but……
He suddenly realized the last question. Since there was something mentioned above, he should be ready to deal with it...
This shopkeeper is no better than a manager.
The manager is the boss of each village, and he has decided it himself. However, the boss has a real high position, and the support is also very high. He has twenty taels of silver every month, thirty kilograms of green food, and one hundred and twenty kilograms of white Tai Sui's share.
.
In addition, every three months, or during New Years and holidays, there are also blood food pills for rewards.
It's several orders of magnitude higher than the ones in charge.
Zhuangzi was in charge of the affairs of the Red Lantern Society, or was refining blood food pills and offering other secret medicines, etc. Many of them had been famous for a long time and were invited here.
If you want to climb up from below, you will have to endure it for ten or eight years and lose several layers of skin.
I was lucky. The shopkeeper felt guilty and highly recommended it, and he also happened to help Yang Gong make great contributions, so he had some opportunities.
But even if this is the case, it doesn't mean that you can sit back and relax. You can't save any gifts that should be given.
But, how to deliver this?
Now is not the time when I first joined the Red Lantern Lady Club, and a few young girls made the stewards smile.
But now if I go to the city and just carry these few Qing Tai Sui, I think they can coax me out directly...
To be continued...
