Why do children on the street beg? What is the story behind them?
Although Zhang Kun was confused, he had no intention of investigating in detail.
All he wants now is to settle down and stay out of trouble.
When he rescued several children at a private house that burned incense that day, he remembered clearly that a three- or four-year-old girl and a boy whose hands were broken each gave him a little dragon energy.
As for the seven or eight-year-old boy with broken legs, the light in his eyes was a bit difficult to understand, and seemed to be filled with a trace of hatred.
Then, one thing more is worse than one thing less.
Thinking this way, Zhang Kun felt a little more wary.
After standing at the entrance of the alley for a while, I found that there was no movement, so I took Li Xiaowan to find a house.
"Brother, this house is still 80% new. You don't need to buy any furniture again. All daily necessities are complete. Even a family of five can live comfortably..."
A middle-aged man with a shrewd face and a smile like a chrysanthemum introduced the house in a eloquent manner, describing the house as if it were a flower.
This is the fifth house Zhang Kun has found.
The other houses are either dilapidated and damp, or they are far away from Yuanshun Escort Agency...
Of course, the inappropriate price is also a reason.
"The price is a bit expensive."
Li Xiaowan interjected from the side.
"Hey, my eldest lady, you two are obviously from wealthy families. Why do you need to care about these three melons and two dates? What are the foreign adults talking about recently? The quality of life. Well, we pursue The most important thing is the quality of life, and the most important thing is to live comfortably.
Besides, ten taels of silver a year is really not expensive. Where is the safest place at the base of this imperial city? It must be next to Yuanshun Escort Agency and Huiyou Escort Agency.
Escorts come and go, there is absolutely no thief who is so blind as to commit crimes here?
Look, I'm not saying there are thieves here... Now the old Buddha is ruling the country, the emperor is wise and mighty, the seas and rivers are clear, and everything is peaceful.
The best place in the capital is one where thieves will never break into the house. However, you have to be careful in everything, and it is not a good idea to encounter petty theft. In this case, the property here is very valuable. "
"Four taels, rent for half a year, if it works, it will be fine, but if it doesn't work, I'll pull it down."
Zhang Kun looked at the house. There were two bedrooms and one living room, and there was a small yard behind it.
Although it is not a shophouse on the street, it is still very convenient for living and practicing martial arts. The most important thing is that it is clean and tidy.
The previous owner seemed to be a tidy person, which is good.
"Okay, let's just make friends, but we have to pay half a year's rent at once.
You two don't know that the market price of the houses here is now bullish. Someone paid this amount last month, but the owner refused to sell it. "
Yaren muttered and stretched out two fingers, making it seem like he had suffered a big loss.
However, nagging is nagging, and he does things very efficiently.
Immediately, the documents were taken out, the money was handed over, and both parties signed and deposited the money.
The house is considered habitable.
The reason for renting for half a year is because the owner of the property here is not in the capital, so it is difficult to collect rent, and he is impatient to calculate from month to month.
However, Yaren was right about one thing. The furniture here is really complete, including tables, chairs, benches, beds, pots and pans. The neighbor seemed to be a kind person and just came over to say hello.
"Cousin...cousin, will we have a family in the future?"
Li Xiaowan walked around several rooms with tears in his eyes.
"Yes, I have a family."
Zhang Kun said with a smile.
Chinese people are like this. No matter where they go, they are not used to wandering. They have a place to live and feel at home.
Rent a house and have a settled life in no time.
Especially, the little girl who has just experienced the loss of her family and is begging to make ends meet...
This sudden feeling of dependence and stability obviously had a huge impact on her soul.
Soon, Li Xiaowan found a broom, filled the room with water, and tidied the room clumsily.
Sweeping the floor and wiping the table, with such seriousness, it seems as if they have to spend their whole life.
Zhang Kun was shocked and took out a rag to wipe the window sill.
Seeing the little girl busy alone, he felt a little unhappy.
"Let me do it."
Li Xiaowan quickly walked up and grabbed the rag.
"You two should work together quickly. Besides, we have to cut some meat and buy some side dishes to prepare for cooking later."
"If you don't want to do this, I'll do it."
The little girl pursed her lips tightly and her attitude was very firm.
"Also, I know how to cook. I watched Aunt Gu cook it before, so I learned a little bit. I also cooked a few tricks for my dad, and he praised me."
As she spoke, her eyes became red again.
"Okay, I'll leave everything at home to you from now on."
Zhang Kun sighed and said nothing more.
He turned around and left the house, and went not far from the next door to buy two new sets of bedding and toiletries. Moreover, he brought some vegetables back and gave Li Xiaowan a few taels of silver.
Needless to say, she will take care of the rest of her life.
After cleaning the house, Li Xiaowan started preparing dinner without resting.
Perhaps she became bolder after discovering the "truth" that although Zhang Kun was fierce towards his enemies, he was actually very soft at heart.
They weren't that lively when we got along.
"Cousin, wait tomorrow, you go to the escort agency to do some work, and I will go out to find a job.
When I was buying medicine that day, I saw that Anrentang was recruiting apprentices. It seemed that his medicine-preparing clerk had returned home due to family matters and was short of manpower. "
"Why do you think of going to work? We don't lack the money. Although I can't be an escort for the time being, it's only a matter of time." Zhang Kun frowned slightly.
"No, cousin, don't you want to practice boxing? Since ancient times, the poor were poor in culture and rich in martial arts. The daily combination of meat and vegetables, especially all kinds of meat, is a huge expense, and this cannot be omitted."
Li Xiaowan said eloquently: "The time to spend money hasn't come yet... I'm not really worried about food. When you went to sign for a room, I heard some people from the escort agency talking outside.
The reason why those escorts joined Yuanshun was not only because of the abundant money, but also for another reason.
Yuanshun Escort provides a medicine called Longhu Zhuangyuan Decoction, which is very beneficial to strengthening muscles and bones, and warming and nourishing the internal organs. "
"You mean, they have their own medicine?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Kun remembered that in later generations, martial arts practitioners would often say that practicing martial arts too hard would often cause serious harm to the body.
Generally, when you reach your forties, you will start to suffer from various illnesses.
As you get older, you are often no longer able to fight, and you have to rely on medicine to support yourself all day long.
Even so, they often do not live to the end of their lives, and their bodies age more easily than ordinary people.
This applies not only to martial arts practitioners, but also to athletes.
Of course, Zhang Kun has also heard a rumor that internal martial arts are less harmful to the body. Although it is difficult to get started, but after practicing it, it will have a health-preserving effect. I don’t know if it is true or not?
Even if it is true, according to common sense, there should be a unique medicine. This is the foundation of inheritance.
'No wonder, there are some skills that you don't even worry about outsiders learning.
Not only does one have a unique boxing style and breathing techniques, but one also has a matching body-tonifying medicinal soup to become famous.
Otherwise, if he learns and practices haphazardly and still has no accident, the King of Hell will praise him for his good health. '
