The waiter told the shopkeeper what had just happened. After hearing this, the shopkeeper looked at Fu Xiaohu with disgust and said, "It is the rule of the world to pay for food. But, I think you are all people in the world, and you all know how to do it. We ordinary people can't afford to mess with those who work hard. You guys can go away."
After speaking, he waved his hand to signal them to leave quickly.
Fu Xiaohu felt bad. If the shopkeeper refused to give up, they could still make a fuss. Anyway, they were the first to open their mouths. As a result, the shopkeeper actually said such kind words, but Fu Xiaohu and the others couldn't deal with it.
Tan Wushuang was naturally afraid of trouble. He was really afraid that Fu Xiaohu would start a fight with someone, so he quickly said: "Xiaohu, let's go."
Fu Xiaohu took two steps towards the door, suddenly stopped, turned back to the shopkeeper and said, "We will definitely pay back the money!"
"Forget it," the shopkeeper said without raising his head as he asked people to clear the table, "How can we be so arrogant if we don't have money? Just ask a few guests not to come and wipe our necks at night."
"You!" Fu Xiaohu gritted his teeth and said, "You dare to slander me?"
"Slander? Huh, you guys are not good people at first glance. If you dare to eat the Overlord's meal, you dare to kill people. Don't say it. You don't have to pay back the money, but I beg you not to hold grudges."
Fu Xiaohu had never been wronged like this before. He could tolerate anyone who treated him as a beggar, but now he was even worse than a beggar. He is a young knight in the martial arts world, who wants to make a name for himself, and who wants to do chivalry and justice. He had just emerged from the martial arts world, and he had already become a tyrant.
He was originally a chicken coop, but when he heard the shopkeeper say this, his curly and messy hair suddenly became red, and his face turned red.
Shao Jie quickly advised: "Forget it, Mr. Hu, let's go. When we have money, we will come back to pay back the money."
Fu Xiaohu pushed Shao Jie away and "Cang Langlang" pulled out the double daggers. The shopkeeper and the customers in the store were frightened. Is this kid going to kill someone?
The shopkeeper hurriedly hid behind the counter and begged for mercy: "No, no, no! Please show mercy, sir! It's the little talkative! It's the little talkative! This meal is included in our treat! You don't count as the king's meal."
Fu Xiaohu walked to the counter with an angry face and slapped his two knives on the counter hard.
"Who wants to kill you! Listen up! I don't want to eat the king's meal! These two knives are good knives! They are worth at least fifty taels! The knife is with you! I will use forty taels to get it in the future!"
After saying that, he said to Tan Wushuang and the others: "Let's go!"
Watching the people leave, the shopkeeper walked up to the old man who had just spoken with a knife in his hand and said, "Master, this kid is quite interesting. He will starve to death without robbing."
The old man was Li Changnian. He stroked his beard and said, "Fu Yanhe is quite brave. His son is not bad. Let's see what we can get out of this."
Liu Yafeng, who worked as a chef in the back kitchen, came out. He often went to Chaolan Valley. Fu Xiaohu knew him, so he didn't show up.
Liu Yafeng asked Li Changnian: "Head of the family, are you still trying? My children and I have no money, so don't be forced to fall into the trap."
"I recognize these two knives. Fu Yanhe spent a lot of money to buy them back then. This guy has such courage. I believe he won't rob them even if he is begging for food. Don't worry."
"Then how can we try? Just now I was really afraid that the boy would hit someone. The brothers in our escort agency are no match for him. A young man of this age is very capable of killing in a fight."
"Don't worry, no one will die."
The few people who left the small restaurant were very angry. Zheng Beifeng cursed and said: "If this were in the Songshan area, how dare they do this to me? Twenty Liang, Mr. Hu, you are used to staying in the valley, so I'm afraid you don't know twenty Liang." How much is it? In this small town, it’s enough for us to buy a small house.”
Fu Xiaohu said impatiently: "Stop talking! Noisy! We don't have any experience in the world, and neither do you? Someone stole something and you didn't even notice it!"
"It's not that we didn't notice it, we really didn't expect that this black shop would dare to open on the road."
Tan Wushuang said solemnly: "They don't think we are foreigners and deliberately bully us, right?"
Fu Xiaohu waved his hands irritably: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go to the Long Whale Sect as soon as possible."
Liu Kang said helplessly: "We used to have some money, so we didn't panic when we had food in our hands, but now we have no money. Let's go to the Whale Faction, at least for three to five days. We can't drink from the northwest wind."
Fu Xiaohu didn't want to think about it, but there was nothing he could do if he didn't think about it. How could he travel without money? The five old men are at the age when they can eat and drink, but they are still hungry in the afternoon after finishing their meal at noon.
Fu Xiaohu asked Liu Kang and the others: "Um...is there any money-making job?"
Liu Kang said sheepishly: "I'm not afraid of you two making fun of me. I grew up in the family. I never did any other work. The food and drink were provided by the family. Later I went out on my own... I also had friends to help me, and finally Not only can I help people solve some troubles, but I can also make money. Now that we have just left the valley... I can't think of any business that can bring in money."
Tan Wushuang rubbed his hands and said narrowly: "How about we work as coolies?"
"coolie?"
"Yes, I heard my father say that when he had no chance to make a living, he would go to the dock to fight against the cargo. He could earn a lot of money in a day."
Shao Jie said: "Fat Master, what you said is easy. Where is the dock here? Where can we go to pick up the bag?"
The three of them were talking when they suddenly saw a large house in front of them. Many people gathered around the door. Most of these people were wearing coarse clothes. A well-dressed middle-aged man stood on the steps and shouted to the group of people.
"Fifty cars! Rice, flour, grain and oil! Five people! Fifty coppers per person after unloading!"
The men in rough clothes raised their arms high and shouted: "Me, me, me! I can do it!"
"Don't crowd! Come one by one!"
When Fu Xiaohu saw the crowd, he gritted his teeth, squeezed in, and shouted loudly: "We! Forty coppers each will do!"
When he heard him shouting like this, someone immediately followed him and shouted: "I'll be fine if I'm thirty!"
Fu Xiaohu stamped his foot angrily: "Twenty of me!"
Twenty copper coins is not enough for a family to eat and drink. Hearing him shouting like this, everyone else fell silent. They all cursed in their hearts: What is wrong with this person? Twenty coppers? What about those who are begging for food?
Seeing the crowd disperse, the middle-aged man looked at him with a frown and said angrily: "Young man, are you here to entertain me? Twenty copper coins?"
Fu Xiaohu nodded vigorously: "Yes! Twenty copper coins!"
This anti-kung bag is different from practicing martial arts. When practicing martial arts, after a set of punches, although it is tiring, the whole body feels comfortable. This anti-packing is unloaded from the car, moved to the warehouse, unloaded again, and moved to the warehouse. Although you have a lot of skills, it is impossible to use your internal energy for such long-term physical work. Not everyone has Amber's ability, and internal energy seems to be free.
Fifty cars, Fu Xiaohu said in his heart: Five people, ten cars for each person, it will only take a while. Who would have known that it would be painful as soon as he started working. Before unloading five cars, Fu Xiaohu was so tired that his back and legs ached, and his shoulders were all bald.
The other four were not much better, who had ever done manual labor? Besides, before practicing martial arts, the masters have all told me: After practicing martial arts, you can't do physical work if you can, which will affect the martial arts. Especially Tan Wushuang, who was fat and could not stand up straight after unloading a few cars.
Fu Xiaohu gritted his teeth hard and silently chanted: Fu Xiaohu! Even if you starve to death! You can't do things like robbing families and homes! What happened to the anti-pack? If you still do farm work in the valley, as long as the money is clean, how can you not make money?
What I thought could be done in more than an hour ended up taking me an entire afternoon. After Tan Wushuang unloaded seven cars, he could no longer move them. Fu Xiaohu helped move the remaining three cars.
The five people collapsed on the steps from exhaustion. The middle-aged man teased them: "No wonder it took you so long to move this little thing for only twenty copper coins."
Fu Xiaohu was too tired to argue with anyone, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Let's pay."
"It's not easy for you either," the middle-aged man said as he took out the money. "Our master said, we will reward you with forty more."
After speaking, he handed one hundred and forty copper plates to Fu Xiaohu. Fu Xiaohu said righteously: "No, we agreed that one person would be twenty, so one person would be twenty!"
"Hi," the middle-aged man smiled disdainfully. He squatted down and said to Fu Xiaohu, "Boy, you are not a coolie. You probably ran away from home, right? You haven't experienced hardship, right? Money. Just take it and put away your arrogance. It's useless. Why are you pretending to be generous? I'm not a scholar, but I understand the truth: you have to save face and suffer. Take it. When I go outside in the future, I will There are not many kind-hearted people.”
After saying that, he ignored Fu Xiaohu and the others, turned around and walked into the door.
Fu Xiaohu sat on the steps, holding the copper plate in his hand firmly. He felt a little wronged and even wanted to cry. But he still held back his tears.
Less than a day after he came out of Jianghu, Jianghu taught him two lessons.
Tan Wushuang asked: "Xiaohu, where should we go next?"
Liu Kang said, "Let's find a place to live first."
The five of them found the worst inn. They didn't have much money, and they didn't dare to ask for a good one, just shelter from the wind and rain.
After entering the inn, the innkeeper greeted him: "How many of you are staying in the hotel?"
Fu Xiaohu replied: "Yes."
"We only have one guest room, so the five of you can squeeze in."
"Okay...ah, by the way, how much is it?" Fu Xiaohu followed suit and asked the price first.
"Four coppers per person."
Four people, that's twenty. Fu Xiaohu felt a little sad when he thought that this money was earned through hard work.
Fu Xiaohu was about to pay, and Shao Jie said to the waiter: "Man, we all share a room, let's make it cheaper."
The waiter thought for a while and said, "Well, I see you haven't eaten either. If you pay two more coins each, we'll spare you a meal."
Fu Xiaohu quickly said: "You have to take care of yourself."
"Don't worry, we don't have good food here, so we will definitely take care of ourselves."
The five of them ate something hastily, not just good rice, but sticky porridge, pickles, and pancakes. The five people worked all afternoon and were hungry. They didn't care whether it tasted good or not. The most important thing was to be full.
The inn room was not big, with only two blue brick beds covered with hay mattresses. The bedding had not been washed for a long time, and there was an indescribable stench.
Liu Kang and the other three were okay. During this period of time in Chaolan Valley, they would just lie down on the ground when sleeping, and they are not much better now. Fu Xiaohu and Tan Wushuang grew up in the valley. Although life in the valley was not considered rich, they did not suffer much. Now that I have come out, I live in an inn that costs four coppers a night, covered with a smelly quilt, and have to sleep squeezed in with others. This feeling is much more uncomfortable.
Fu Xiaohu and Tan Wushuang shared a bed. Tan Wushuang was too fat. Fu Xiaohu slept on his side all night. When he came in the morning, one of his arms was numb.
Fu Xiaohu rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up. On the other bed, Liu Kang and the others were gone. He had a sudden idea and hurriedly took it into his arms. Sure enough, all the money he had earned as a coolie yesterday was gone.
"Fat man! Get up!" Fu Xiaohu hurriedly called out to Tan Wushuang.
Tan Wushuang was sleeping soundly and was a little unhappy to be woken up all of a sudden. He rubbed his eyes and asked, "What are you doing? What time is this?"
Fu Xiaohu yelled: "Liu Kang and the others ran away!"
Tan Wushuang turned over and said, "Let's run away. Without those three losers, we can save money."
"The money was stolen by them!"
"What?!" Tan Wushuang sat up with a sound, put his hand into his sleeve and touched it. The expression on his face was uglier than crying.
"It's over, my money has been stolen too... Xiaohu, what should we do?"
