In Chengjia Village, a thin figure was practicing one move after another. Although he did not show much power, he was very precise and organized. It has been nearly a month since he came to Chengjia Village, and Xu Kang has been following him for the past month.

Dog training

Wu, he never dared to slack off. The martial arts taught by Gouzi did not have any fixed routines. Instead, he taught him a few simple and practical moves to defeat the enemy, and asked Xu Kang to practice them repeatedly. Over the past month, Xu Kang had mastered these skills.

I practiced a few moves to become extremely proficient.

When the last move was completed, Gouzi's voice came and said: "It seems that you have mastered these moves."

Xu Kang said: "Yes, do you have any new moves to teach me?"

"Yes, there is, but I'm afraid you won't have the chance to learn." Gouzi said with a smile.

"Why?" Xu Kang asked puzzled.

"It's nothing." Gouzi said, "Pack it up, we will go into the city today."

"Going to Gu'an City?" Xu Kang said excitedly: "That's great." Although he has been here for a month, Xu Kang has never left Chengjia Village. It is really a surprise to have the opportunity to see some ancient cities today.

Exciting things.

"I was ordered to go to the city to buy some things. It just so happens that you come with me to take a look." Gouzi said.

"Okay." Xu Kang agreed.

Chengjia Village is located on the outskirts of Gu'an County, less than half an hour away. The two drove a carriage and approached Gu'an leisurely.

"Wow, this is the county seat." Xu Kang sighed as he looked at the city wall that seemed to separate heaven and earth. In fact, due to its remote location, Gu'an County has not had a war for a long time, so the city wall is not too high, but

Since Xu Kang came here, all he saw were low mud houses and thatched huts. Suddenly he saw a city wall that was two feet high and several miles long, but he couldn't help but admire it.

"This is nothing." Gouzi really disagreed with my sigh and said: "This Gu'an County has been without war for a long time. You see, half of the trenches are filled with silt, and the city walls are also covered with grass.

Weeds, if I come to attack, 1,000 people will be enough to capture this county."

"Hey." Xu Kang said dissatisfied: "I don't know anything about it, okay? But I didn't expect Brother Gou Zi to like fighting so much. I really can't tell."

"That's right, a man should carry a three-foot sword, kill generals, and achieve unparalleled fame in heaven and earth, so that he can live up to this life." Gouzi said with great passion, and at this moment, his wretched figure actually grew taller.

.

"Okay, okay, I understand." However, Xu Kang was obviously not an easily excited person, so he changed the subject and said, "Should we go into the city?"

"Well, let's go." After saying that, the two drove the carriage and rushed into the county town.

There are thousands of households in Chengjia Village, with a population of nearly 10,000. Naturally, the things used for food, drink, and diarrhea cannot be provided by one village, so every month they have to go to the county to purchase a large amount of supplies. This time, Gouzi came to buy some simple things for life.

supplies.

Gouzi drove the carriage skillfully on the main road of Gu'an County, and soon stopped at a shop.

A middle-aged man, in his thirties or forties, ran out of it. When he saw Dao Gouzi, he immediately said with a wide smile, "It's Brother Gouzi. You came early today."

Gouzi laughed and said, "How's it going? Shopkeeper Xue, I have all the goods I want."

"It's ready. How dare I not be interested in what the Immortal Master wants?" Shopkeeper Xue said with a cheerful smile.

"That's good. Come on, how about my little brother?" Gouzi pointed at Xu Kang from behind.

Shopkeeper Xue immediately looked Xu Kang up and down, and even circled around Xu Kang. Xu Kang felt terrified.

"Not bad. It looks good and makes you feel comfortable. Although I'm a little weak, I'll take it." Shopkeeper Xue said with satisfaction.

"What do you want?" Xu Kang pointed at his nose blankly and said, "Are you talking about me?" Could it be that this damn bitch sold him out?

"Haha." Gouzi laughed and said, "Of course it's you. Don't worry, I've made an agreement with Shopkeeper Xue. He will treat you well in the future."

Xu Kang was about to retort when Gouzi said again: "Don't you always want to have your own shop and be the shopkeeper? Then you will have to learn from Shopkeeper Xue in the future."

"Don't dare. I was seriously ill back then. Fortunately, the immortal master came to rescue me and saved my life. What's more, Chengjiacun is my big customer. In the future, I will have to rely on Brother Gouzi to take care of my business.

, since Brother Gouzi gave the order, I will naturally follow it and I will definitely teach him everything I have learned in my life." Shopkeeper Xue said.

"Then it's hard work." Gouzi said with a solemn bow.

"Brother Gouzi." Xu Kang said emotionally: "Thank you." He really didn't expect that Gouzi would be so concerned about his affairs, and he was full of gratitude to Gouzi.

"Okay, thank you for nothing. Come on, let's move all the goods out together." Gouzi said.

"Okay." Xu Kang replied.

The two quickly moved a dozen boxes to the car, and Gouzi handed a bag of money to Shopkeeper Xue. Then he turned around and drove the carriage to leave.

"Brother Gouzi, if you leave me here, what will you do when you go back?" Xu Kang said.

"Haha." Gouzi laughed and said, "What's the point of explaining this? I found a good job for you, and they still want to blame me."

After saying that, he waved his hand, turned around and left, which was really cool and unrestrained.

Gouzi left immediately, leaving only himself and shopkeeper Xue. He didn't know how to introduce each other or communicate with each other. Alas, he had to find a way by himself.

Although Xu Kang sighed in his heart, when he turned around, a smile immediately appeared on his face, he cupped his fists and said, "Hello, Shopkeeper Xue." He was going to hang out with him from now on, and it seemed like he had to have a good relationship.

Shopkeeper Xue was very satisfied with Xu Kang's smile and thought he was a business man, so he said, "Okay, come in."

"Yes." Xu Kang agreed and followed shopkeeper Xue obediently.

Entering the store, shopkeeper Xue pointed at a middle-aged woman and said, "This is my wife."

Xu Kang didn't know what to call this person in ancient times, so he hesitated and said, "Husband, hello, madam."

The middle-aged woman responded lightly.

"Madam, this is the boy introduced by Brother Gouzi." Shopkeeper Xue said.

Mrs. Xue smiled lightly and said: "Since Brother Gouzi introduced me here, then from now on, this place will be no different from my own home, so there is no need to be formal."

"Yes, madam." Xu Kang said respectfully.

Mrs. Xue smiled even more when she saw that he spoke politely.

"I'll take him to the back to have a look," Shopkeeper Xue said.

"Okay." Mrs. Xue said, "You go, I'm here."

Xu Kang followed Shopkeeper Xue through the back door of the shop and came to a courtyard at the back. The courtyard was not big, just like a courtyard house in later generations.

Boss Xue pointed to a row of houses and said: "Those rooms are my residence, those are warehouses, and those are kitchens. Follow me."

Xu Kang continued to follow Boss Xue to a house, and watched as Boss Xue opened the door and walked in. When Xu Kang went in, he saw several shelves filled with various goods.

Boss Xue took Xu Kang straight to the inner room, pointed to an earthen bed and said, "From now on, you will live here."

Xu Kang didn't dare to be picky and said, "Yes, it all depends on the shopkeeper's instructions."

Shopkeeper Xue became more and more satisfied with Xu Kang's obedience and said: "You are new here today. Don't be in a hurry to start work. First, clean the place where you live, and then identify the goods in the room." After that, he left.

Got out.

"Yes." Xu Kang replied facing the back of shopkeeper Xue.

Xu Kang looked around the room. The room was very big, but because it was full of goods, there was not much space for Xu Kang to move around. There were two thin quilts on the bed, with hay underneath, and there was nothing to pack, so Xu Kang

Kang then began to study those goods.

Xue's store is a grocery store that has all the items needed for daily life.

Looking at the deformed and grotesque goods in the room, which were made of wood, pottery, or iron, Xu Kang felt that coming here to work had really gained him a lot of knowledge, and he had gained a deeper understanding of the Han Dynasty.

layer.

Xu Kang looked through everything in the room from beginning to end and found that most of the things he didn't know their names or their uses. He immediately remembered the shapes of these things in his mind so that he could ask questions later.

Xu Kang walked out of the house, turned around and just closed the door when he felt the sound of wind coming from behind his head. Unconsciously, Xu Kang stepped aside and saw that it was a wooden stick. At the same time, he grabbed the hand holding the wooden stick and pulled it.

As soon as he was sent away, the incoming man slammed into the wall, and at the same time he raised his arm and clasped the incoming man's throat with his right arm. Only then did he see clearly that the person who attacked him was actually a little girl, who looked no older than himself.

Xu Kang asked in confusion: "Who are you? Why did you attack me sneakily?"

The girl groaned when she was hit, and said angrily: "You little thief, you dare to come to my house to steal things, let me go quickly, otherwise my father will come soon and he will never let you go."

"Your family?" Xu Kang asked in surprise: "Is your surname Chen?"

"Of course not, my surname is Xue." The girl said.

Hearing her answer, Xu Kang felt certain in his heart. He couldn't help but let go in embarrassment and said: "It turns out to be Miss, I am the new guy. Please don't blame me for offending you."

After Miss Xue was let go, she covered her neck, coughed a few times, and said angrily: "You don't blame me if you don't blame me. I almost strangled you to death. No, I must tell daddy."

Xu Kang smiled bitterly, you attacked me first, why are you blaming me now? Although Xu Kang knew that shopkeeper Xue would not punish him because of this misunderstanding, but after all, it was his first day here, if he caused trouble

, it is inevitable that the shopkeeper will dislike me. He said: "Then I don't know how Miss will let me go."

Miss Xue pretended to think for a moment and said: "Let's see, you were pretty good just now, and I happen to be quite interested in martial arts. From now on, you can have a good competition with me."

Xu Kang's expression was stagnant. What kind of sparring was it? She just wanted him to teach her martial arts. He cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Miss. I just learned some farm tricks to barely defend myself. I don't know any martial arts."

Miss Xue said impatiently: "Is it possible? It's not you who has the final say. Besides, it's just a discussion. How can there be so much nonsense?"

Seeing her temperament, Xu Kang must have been pampered by Shopkeeper Xue all year round, and it was inconvenient to offend her, so he had to say: "If Shopkeeper Xue agrees, then the villain will naturally not mind."

"It's too easy to ask my father to agree." Miss Xue smiled happily and said, "Just wait, I'll go ahead and say it." After that, she skipped away.

After a while, Miss Xue dragged shopkeeper Xue in.
