Chapter 2598 The Diligent Bearded
Faced with the enthusiastic salesman, Tang Zhen quickly said that he didn’t need it, and then left quickly with the regretful eyes of the other party.
“Brother, you really shouldn’t refuse. Since you have become a monk, you definitely don’t need to worry about making money.
In this case, why bother yourself and live in a broken house. "
The bearded man shook his head, looking very confused.
"Besides, monsters are running rampant now, and life is becoming more and more difficult. It can be said that the situation is precarious.
As monks, we must take the lead in fighting monsters, and we may die at any time.
Live and enjoy one day, and if you die one day, your life will not be in vain!"
The bearded man's tone was a little helpless, but also a little free and easy, trying to act like a person who had experienced it! Persuade Tang Zhen.
Tang Zhen smiled and said nothing. He really didn't care much about enjoyment.
Instead of spending money to decorate your home, you might as well use it to improve your strength so that you can survive in troubled times.
As long as you are strong enough and live long enough, what can you not enjoy?
So sometimes, you should take a longer view instead of indulging in some worldly things.
The two continued to move forward in the city, passing by the city lord's palace, and the bearded man gave Tang Zhen a brief introduction.
Actually, he doesn’t know much, most of it is just hearsay. Because of his low strength, he can’t get in touch with the real senior people.
Tang Zhen looked around and found that the city lord's mansion was heavily guarded, and all the people coming in and out were Loucheng monks.
Based on the previously obtained information, Tang Zhen can basically confirm that the number of Loucheng monks in Mufeng City is at least five thousand.
It’s just that most of the Loucheng monks are in the ruins, working day and night to improve their strength, and will not return to Mufeng City easily.
Once the war starts, these Loucheng monks will gather together and form a quite powerful legion.
Compared with it, Tianxu City is far behind. At least in terms of the number of monks, it cannot be compared with it.
Seeing Tang Zhen looking at the City Lord's Mansion intently, Big Beard immediately reminded him in a low voice, asking him to try not to attract the attention of the Loucheng monks.
“Although the strength of those Loucheng monks is similar to that of you and me, but if we really fight, ten of you and I together cannot be the opponent of Loucheng monks!
< br>So remember my words, never go against the Loucheng monks, but be obedient and obey the arrangements unconditionally."
The bearded man's eyes flickered. According to Tang Zhen's guess, he should. It was repaired by the Loucheng monks.
So when he warned Tang Zhen, he behaved like this, with a lingering fear.
Tang Zhen nodded in agreement on the surface, but he was laughing secretly in his heart. If the bearded man knew his plan, he would be so scared that his soul would fly out.
Not only did he want to provoke the Loucheng monks, but he also wanted to kill all the leaders of Mufeng City, each of whom was a bearded person who looked up to him.
Walking and talking along the way, we unknowingly came to the edge of the city and saw Tang Zhen's house.
This is a single-family courtyard. Due to its long disrepair, the entrance of the courtyard is covered with weeds.
The door was broken into pieces, and a breeze blew by, making a "rattling" sound.
Several children were playing at the door, digging into the wall bricks. When they saw Tang Zhen and Big Beard, they immediately ran away with guilty conscience.
The bearded man smiled and cursed, then pointed at the damaged house and turned to look at Tang Zhen.
"You have seen that this yard has been abandoned for many years. If it is not cleaned up, it will be uninhabitable."
Tang Zhen was also speechless. He originally thought that the official said that the house was dilapidated. Just to promote business.
Only when we arrived at the scene did we realize that the courtyard was not only dilapidated, it was simply a ruin.
Fortunately, Tang Zhen didn't care about this, otherwise a monk would probably be angry.
"It doesn't matter, I just need a place to shelter from the wind and rain. If I feel uncomfortable, it's not too late to find someone to take care of me." Seeing Tang Zhen's open-minded and optimistic look, the bearded man He shook his head and said nothing more.
The two walked around the yard and found that it was also covered with weeds and the doors and windows of the house were in tatters.
Big Beard asked Tang Zhen to wait, then he found a nearby neighbor, took out a few coins from his pocket and handed them to him.
"Clean up the weeds in this yard, and then sweep the dust in the house to get out all the dirt."
The bearded man said with gestures, and the neighbor held money in his hand. There was an expression of serious listening on his face.
Then the neighbor greeted Tang Zhen, hoping to have more contact with him in the future, and said that he also had a monk in his family, and he would definitely visit him when he returned home.
After arranging for help to clean the yard, the bearded man dragged Tang Zhen and invited him to a nearby restaurant for dinner.
Although monsters are rampant now, people still have to live their lives, and all restaurants in the city are open as usual.
As for the sources of their ingredients, some come from vegetable gardens in the city, while others are collected from outside the city, and have not been affected much.
But compared to before the monster appeared, the business in the tavern was still much deserted. There were only two or three tables of customers in the huge shop.
After the bearded man greeted Tang Zhen to sit down, he called the service staff here and specially ordered a large portion of charcoal-grilled monster meat.
At the same time, I ordered a pot of old wine and a few plates of side dishes to go with the wine. They looked very familiar.
From the conversation, you can tell that the bearded man is a frequent visitor to this tavern, and he also orders the signature dishes.
Tang Zhen didn't say much, letting the bearded man do what he wanted, and still pretended to be a young man who had never seen the big world.
After the wine and food were served, Big Beard poured Tang Zhen a glass of wine, and then poured himself a glass.
“Brother, if there is anything you can’t handle in the future, just come to me.
In this Mufeng City, my brother is still a bit mean, but I can help you whenever I can. There will never be any refusal at all."
With a bold look, the bearded man drank the wine in one gulp, then stared at Tang Zhen silently.
Tang Zhen smiled, also picked up the wine glass in front of him, and poured the wine into his mouth.
"Okay!"
Big Beard smiled happily, poured Tang Zhen another glass of wine, and then invited him to taste the wine and food.
Tang Zhen had already seen that the bearded man must have something to ask for, but he would never ask if the other party didn't tell him.
The bearded man was quite able to keep his composure and rambled on, talking about various gossips about Mufeng City.
Tang Zhen secretly laughed. The bearded man was obviously still the same as before, thinking that talking to people about the rich and powerful in the city would prove his extraordinary abilities.
Not long after, the charcoal-grilled monster meat was served, exuding an alluring aroma.
This is a red charcoal stove, burning a tray-shaped stone slab. Long strips of monster meat were placed on the stone slab, cut into thin slices with a knife, and made a sizzling sound when fried in grease.
The meat is evenly fat and thin, the meat is fragrant, and it is sprinkled with red and green condiments. Just one look at it will arouse your appetite.
“Come on, come on, try it quickly, you will never taste this dish anywhere else!”
Big Beard picked up a piece of fried monster meat and put it on Tang Zhen's plate, signaling him to take a bite while it was still hot.
Tang Zhen tasted it with a smile and found that the taste was indeed good, but it was not extremely delicious.
It’s just that he has eaten too many good things, and his mouth has become extremely picky. The bearded food feels like the ultimate delicacy, but in Tang Zhen’s opinion, it is just okay.
