"Really or not? Did you make a fortune?"
Everyone was mumbling something, but their steps were not slow. There was only a faint rustling sound, and everyone brought out a lot of things in large and small bags, including oil, rice, salt, sugar, cloth, and all kinds of New Year's goods.
"Xiao Congwen, where did you get the money? There are so many things. I'm afraid I won't be able to get them if I don't have dozens of gold coins."
Ye Zhihua asked with a smile, holding a jar of good wine in one hand, opening the lid and wanting to take a sip.
"The apprentice camp competed and won a championship. My mentor awarded me a few gold bars. I exchanged them for new year's gifts, so that all my brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts can also be happy."
"Hey! Not bad! This master is so generous, he only gives out a few gold bars. Champion of the competition, do you have many apprentices in the apprentice camp?"
Ye Zhihua thought for a while and thought that Ye Congwen could win the championship with his small body. If I went, it would not be easy to win a few gold bars!
"Not many, just over 10,000 people!"
Ye Congwen said casually, but his eyes stayed on the gray-haired old man in the distance. It had only been half a year. The old patriarch seemed to be much older. His face was red before, but now he seems to be in a state of lack of sleep!
"came back?"
"Um."
"Didn't you say that you can only go home once every four or five years?"
"That's all because that girl Yu Yueyue was playing tricks on me. Training in the apprenticeship camp is just like studying in the school. There are winter and summer vacations. You can come back twice a year."
Ye Congwen answered without hiding anything. It was indeed Yu Yueyue who said it at the beginning, but when she had just offended her, this woman was most likely holding a grudge and deliberately trying to harm herself.
"More than 10,000 people? How can the entire Lizhou Prefecture need so many carpenters and blacksmiths?"
Ye Zhihua asked puzzledly, while raising the wine jar and taking a sip of wine, he smacked his mouth and said that he was satisfied.
"What are you messing around with? The apprentice camp is a place for practicing martial arts. It is under the banner of the Demon Hunter Guard. I heard that there are many talents in it and the selection of apprentices is extremely strict. Only the top three aristocratic families in the county are qualified.
Xiao Congwen, I just saw that your skill in rescuing Doudouya was extremely impressive, and you could move freely in and out of the 20-meter-wide water surface. I believe you have at least reached the Grand Master level now! "
Ye Rulang stood aside and asked loudly. Since Ye Congwen went to the apprentice camp, Tieta Village lacked an accountant to keep accounts, and every time he sold prey, the accounts were wrong. After half a year, I lost a lot of money, but at this time, Hua Sihu revisited the old accounts and said that there were people who claimed to be good at arithmetic and had inherited it from the family.
Force yourself to be an accountant who keeps books. Ye Rulang was rough and bold, and he was not qualified to be an accountant. Within three days, he gave up his job. He ran back angrily and found the old patriarch and asked him to call Ye Congwen back.
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, the old patriarch told him everything about Ye Congwen's entry into the apprentice camp. Ye Rulang saw that Ye Congwen was far-sighted and indeed thinking about the future of Tieta Village, so he stopped pursuing it.
Later, I kept an eye out and went to the county town to inquire about it, and then I learned a lot about the apprentice camp. No wonder Ye Congwen wants to fight hard. If he can become a body-building warlock, it will be worth the money and sweat.
It's just that I am really not good at keeping accounts. I really have no choice but to let the old patriarch come back to the world and resume his old business.
Only then did Ye Congwen remember the scene of saving Douya Ya just now and nodded.
"Yes, yes, you are indeed on the right track with this step. It seems that the guidance technique in the apprentice camp is indeed suitable for your practice. I remember that you were at the martial arts perfection state before you went, but now I am afraid that you have reached the grand master perfection state.
Well, I finally kept up with the progress of normal people from the Huaye tribe. You just said you won a martial arts championship. What level of championship? "
The old patriarch asked happily when he saw that Ye Congwen had grown taller and his kung fu level had also improved a lot.
"Well, the championship of the apprentice named next to me is a competition that the children of the three major Wuhou families are not allowed to participate in."
Ye Congwen thought about it carefully and decided not to tell the truth to the old patriarch. The old man was getting older and his complexion was not as good as before. If he told him that he had won the Ding-casting treasure medicine, Jia Xiaoyao would hinder him and refuse to give it to him.
The old man has a strong temper and can't tolerate sand in his eyes. If he leads the strong men from Tieta Village to seek justice, the gains will outweigh the losses. There are so many masters from the three major families, and the Demon Hunting Guard team is full of body-training warlocks. Once they protect their weaknesses, the Huaye and Huaye clans will be in disaster!
"Oh, I see."
The old patriarch's eyes showed regret. His grandson failed to compete with the top masters. As a grandfather, he felt the same way.
"Are you Mr. Ye Wudi? We are the nephews of Mr. Lin Chen of the Lin Mansion. I have often heard Mr. Lin talk about you, saying that when you were young, you were invincible in Wanquan County. When we meet today, your reputation is indeed well-deserved."
A boatman next to him stepped forward to salute and bowed his hands to Ye Wudi.
"Lin Chen of the Lin Mansion? By the way, there is a word "蔺" on your ship's emblem. The old man did not mention his bravery in the past, but now I am out of breath even after walking two steps. Your uncle is so powerful. He is over sixty, and he still looks like a young man. . In the past few years, I just looked at his young appearance and didn’t want to talk to him. The more I looked at him, the worse he became!”
Ye Wudi said angrily, not knowing whether he was telling the truth or being polite.
"What did the old man say? My uncle is also old. Man, you can't accept old age at your age! However, as the saying goes, it is better to be young than to be young. Your Iron Tower Village is full of talents. There are at least hundreds of great masters who have reached the perfection state right here. A master, and he looks younger than 20 years old.
I would like to ask which family in the entire Lizhou Prefecture, except for the three major Wuhou families, has this heritage? "
The boatman spoke enthusiastically, pointed at Ye Congwen and praised:
"If nothing else, let's take little brother Ye Congwen as an example. He only entered the apprenticeship camp for one semester, and he has continuously crossed the three realms of martial arts master, grand master, and won the treasure of forging the tripod in one fell swoop!
The Demon Hunter Apprentice Camp has hundreds of years of history, and this has never happened before! Moreover, Ye Congwen was not yet sixteen years old. Old man, let me tell you another good news. Just a few days ago, Ye Congwen fought one against three and beat the three top masters of the Jia family to the ground. My uncle said that the entire apprentice camp, including the three major families, Of all the senior instructors, no one is Ye Congwen’s opponent! "
Ye Wudi was obviously stunned, he didn't expect Xiao Congwen to be so successful! As expected of the students I taught. On the surface, it still looks like it’s natural:
"We, the giants of the Flower and Leaf Tribes, can only be considered adults if they have the strength of the Grand Master Perfection Realm. Ye Congwen suddenly became enlightened. It seems that the guidance technique of the Apprentice Camp is indeed extraordinary. It has taken effect in one semester. I was originally It was expected that Ye Congwen would not be able to regain his strength until he was eighteen years old, but unexpectedly it was earlier than expected!
Well, these ten gold coins are well spent. "
The boatman surnamed Lin was obviously stunned for a long time. No wonder Ye Congwen didn't show off his achievements. At first, he thought he was being modest. After working on it for a long time, it turned out that he had long known that in the eyes of these people, that achievement was not worth mentioning at all.
"It's true that a strict teacher makes a good disciple! I still feel sorry for those ten gold coins. The talents carefully cultivated by hundreds of gold bars in our Lin Mansion were defeated by those who care about them with ten gold coins. How embarrassing is it?"
When Ye Rulang heard that Ye Congwen was so impressive, he couldn't help but smiled and invited:
"After hearing what Uncle Lin said, I already want to have a few moves with you. How about we use the Lin Mansion's boat to show off a few moves?"
The people around him immediately started booing and shouting loudly.
Ye Congwen knew that Ye Rulang was very powerful and might have reached the legendary Half-step Cauldron-making Nayuan Realm. He would not have the strength to fight unless he entered the Kongming Realm. However, Ye Rulang was three meters tall and had a huge back and waist. If you can exhaust yourself until you are exhausted, why waste your energy when you know you are defeated?
He quickly declined with a smile:
"Brother Lang is joking, how can I be your opponent? When I grow to three meters tall in the future, I may be able to compete with you. Besides, this boat is worth dozens of gold coins. If it is damaged, I can Can’t afford to pay.”
Ye Rulang was visibly frightened when he heard that the boat was so valuable. This year, Iron Tower Village has already spent seven or eighty-eight percent of its money on new year's goods. There are only twenty or thirty gold coins left for emergency use in case of loss. What should I do if I need it urgently?
"Don't worry, you two. I'll pay to repair the damaged ship. At most, it's just a matter of replacing a few boards. I can still afford this amount of money."
The boatman surnamed Lin gave up when he saw Ye Congwen, presumably this rugged giant was extremely powerful. Once the two of them started fighting, it would be a fierce and earth-shattering scene. This is a rare battle scene in the world. If you miss this time, you will definitely never see it again in your life. He quickly encouraged the two of them to take action.
Ye Congwen and Ye Rulang looked at each other and thought to themselves: Only fools can trade at a loss. How can I buy wine with this money? The long night is coming and the day is coming. The two brothers have time to compete and learn from each other, so why rush?
Ye Congwen deliberately yawned, shook his head and refused:
"Just now at noon, I stood up for your eldest daughter and fought against Lian Shuangqiao. Now I am completely exhausted and I really don't have the energy to compete anymore. You'd better return home quickly while it's still dark.
Grandpa, the patriarch, let someone bring down some game and bacon so that they can taste it when they go back. After a hard trip to our village, they can’t let them go back empty-handed. "
Seeing that Ye Congwen was right, Ye Wudi quickly ordered people to send hundreds of kilograms of bacon and several cages of snow chickens down. Ye Congwen also gave several boatmen a few silver coins as tips. Drive them away without any explanation.
Ye Wudi hadn't seen Ye Congwen for half a year, and he really missed him. He wanted to take Ye Congwen to his home to have a good chat about the interesting things about the apprentice camp. Suddenly I heard Doudouya beside me asking in a low voice:
"Brother Congwen, are you going back to your own home or to mine? My parents just cooked a table of food, and they asked me to invite you over for dinner."
Ye Congwen nodded in agreement without thinking. It was time for him to visit his uncles and aunts in the Mu clan.
"Xiao Congwen, go visit those elders and have a good sleep at night. Let's have a good chat tomorrow."
The old clan leader thought that he would have to distribute these new year's goods himself, so he took Ye Rulang to the residence of the Ye clan.
"That ship just now was so big? Where is Lin Mansion?"
Mudouya looked at the distant boat shadow and asked with interest.
"In the county town, Mo Linyu is the one who catches carp, that's Lin."
"Oh, then who is the eldest lady of Lin Mansion? Is she as beautiful as Sister Yueyue?"
