Chapter 39: The Market Opens (Qiu Zhui Du Ya)
Tian Lin unsheathed his sword, and then nothing happened.
He frowned, looked at the sword that originally belonged to Han Li in his hand, and couldn't help but said: "It turns out that there is really a big gap between masters and masters."
Han Li smiled, threw the knife back to Tian Lin, and sheathed the knife himself.
As if he was afraid of hitting Tian Lin, he patted Tian Lin on the shoulder and carried Tian Lin down the mountain:
"Your skills are improving very fast, but your martial arts are too ordinary. I said you can't kill Xiaoyue in a month, just because internal skills are difficult to practice, but external skills are also difficult to practice!"
Speaking of Xiaoyue, Tian Lin remembered Xiaoyue's visit today.
But he has changed his mind and does not want to encourage Han Li to deal with Xiaoyue.
Young Master Shang asked Tian Lin to kill Han Li, thereby gaining the position of supervisor, and then used Han Li's head to claim credit from the second manager, thus becoming the second manager's confidant——
Tian Lin didn't know why Master Shang wanted to get the trust of the second manager himself. It was probably to help him as a spy.
Tian Lin didn't know what Master Shang was planning on the second manager.
But to gain trust and claim credit from the second manager, it is not necessary to kill Han Li.
He only needs to ask Han Li to give him the position of supervisor, and it will be the same if he kills Xiaoyue and takes credit for the second supervisor.
Although Xiaoyue is not a supervisor, she is a close confidant of Master Shang, and her status is by no means inferior to Han Li.
Since Master Shang is the third manager, wouldn't offending Master Shang please the second manager more than killing Han Li?
Even if he fails to achieve this goal by killing Xiaoyue, so what?
He only died for a small month.
"According to Brother Han's wishes, if I want to kill Xiaoyue, do I need to practice martial arts first?"
"Sword skills need to be practiced. If you have time, you can train your body. In addition, your internal strength must also be strengthened."
Han Li said: "Anyway, there are still more than twenty days to a month."
Where are there more than twenty days?
It’s only six days.
Tian Lin began to prepare silently in his heart and followed Han Li back to the house.
Early the next morning, before Tian Lin left the house, Han Li had already knocked on the door and said to him: "Don't leave at noon, wait until the third steward comes down to hand out the money."
After Tian Lin came out of the house, he saw Han Li shouting under the bamboo corridor: "Today is the opening day of the market, and it is also the time when everyone gets paid, so we have a day off as usual."
There was a burst of cheers, and everyone in the corridor was in high spirits.
Seeing Han Li's face darken again, he said:
"I'm not afraid that everyone will think I'm verbose, so I'll say it again - after you receive the money, it's okay for you to buy clothes and food, but it's best not to spend it on Huahua Niang. With that kind of money, it's not good to save it and send it home ”
After he finished speaking, someone who was smoking dry cigarettes in the corridor replied: "Boss Han, single men like us only come out when there is no family. We want to send it back, but we have to have someone at home to take it!"
< br>
Another person said: "It has been decades since I left home, and I still don't know if there is anyone at home. Even if there is someone, we can't find anyone trustworthy to help us bring money back."
Another person said: "I have only been away for about twenty years, but I am afraid that my mother is dead, and my wife has probably run away with others. Can I send the money back to her adulterer?"
The group of people were chatting and laughing, but no one cared about Han Li's words, but when it was almost noon, no one came down the mountain.
Tian Lin said hello to Han Li and went to the kitchen.
The second mother over there saw Han Li, took out two dishes from the small steamer and said: "Xiaotian, your brother Han said you want to eat Yingyan and Guitouyan."
Tian Lin looked at the two plates of meat, pointed at the [low-grade golden-winged bird] displayed in the entry and asked: "Er Niang, is this an eagle swallow or a ghost-headed swallow?"
Erniang said: "This is an eagle swallow. It's as unpalatable as the ghost-headed swallow. The only advantage is that it can give people a good dream when they sleep at night - you just have to try it. It's not very useful." It costs four taels of silver each.”
Tian Lin took out the money from his pocket and put it on the small steamer while taking the dishes from Er Niang's hand.
"When I take it back and taste it, I may ask my second mother to buy some eagles and swallows for me in the future."
He thanked them later and left the kitchen with Yingyan and Guitouyan.
Compared with Yingyan, the entry of Guitouyan is different.
[Yaoyang Dan: A low-grade elixir containing fire aura. It is an auxiliary elixir for practicing Yaoyang Finger. It can also restore a small amount of fire energy and can be eaten]
"What is the fingering method of Yaoyang Finger?"
When Tian Lin returned to the house, he was not in a hurry to eat and practice. Instead, he went out to ask Han Li.
Unfortunately, Han Li just shook his head and said: "There are too many martial arts in the world. I have only heard of Shaoyang Finger and Shenhe Finger, but I have never heard of Yaoyang Finger."
At this time, someone on the mountain path leading to the kitchen ran and jumped down the mountain, shouting: "The third steward is here with the accounting office!" Almost instantly, everyone in the mining yard stood up with a roar. , Han Li shouted: "Stand still, stand up when your names are read."
Tian Lin followed the people from the mine yard and formed seven teams, filling the small empty space.
Not long after, I saw a slightly fat middle-aged man coming down the mountain, followed by an old man in a robe.
As soon as the middle-aged man appeared, without Han Li's instructions, a group of servant disciples all shouted: "I have seen the third steward."
The fat man only glanced at Han Li and asked Han Li, "Is everyone here?"
Seeing Han Li nod, he asked again: "The second brother didn't give you any trouble, did he?"
Han Li said hurriedly: "Second manager has never been to the mine hospital again."
The fat man said: "That's good. If he wants to think about Shuiling Mine again, you can ask someone to come to me. Okay, give me money!"
The fat man spoke concisely and to the point, and the handyman disciples all cheered.
I saw the old man in a robe holding a bag. After reading his name, each person was given a bag. More or less, each person has at least a few taels of silver.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Tian Lin only worked for two days, but he had seven taels of silver, which was several taels more than half of the people.
Hu San couldn't help but look at Tian Lin with a sour tone: "You have taken advantage of everyone in these few taels!"
Tian Lin glanced at Hu San and ignored him.
Seeing that Hu San wanted to say more, Han Li scolded:
"You gamble all day long and refuse to go to the river to make money. Now you see that others have more money than you, and you are jealous. If you make trouble again, don't blame me, the supervisor, for not giving you face!"
Hu San didn't say anything anymore. He grabbed the silver in his hand, thought for a while and ran to the kitchen.
Although he spent three days fishing and two days drying nets, his wife was never lazy in the kitchen. The market is open today, which is the time to spend money.
After Hu San left, the handyman disciples began to call their friends, discussing what to buy and where to go.
Seeing that no one was talking to Tian Lin, Han Li asked Tian Lin, "Is there anything you want to buy? If you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait half a year for the market to open again."
Tian Lin thought for a while and said: "I don't know what I want to buy. If Brother Han doesn't mind, just take me to have a look."
Han Li smiled and said: "Okay, but you wait for me for half an hour, I will go to the mountain to pay a sum of money."
After Tian Lin waited for Han Li to leave, he went back to his room and opened the food box.
The aroma of elixirs and the aroma of roasted meat mixed together, making Tian Lin salivate.
He sat on the bed and took a piece of 'Ghost-headed Swallow' first.
When the Guitou Yan enters the mouth, it doesn't taste like meat at all, but has the texture of elixir.
After Tian Lin bit into the 'elixir', a ball of fire seemed to rush into his body along his throat.
The medicinal power broke through his Shaoyang meridians, and finally rushed out with a 'chi' from his index finger, turning into a handful of flames and quickly extinguished.
This flame had no power. The only power was that his index finger was swollen.
Tian Lin frowned and stopped eating the ghost-headed swallow. Instead, he picked up a piece of eagle swallow and put it in his mouth.
He didn't know what the original eagle swallow tasted like, but the 'eagle swallow' he ate was clearly not as unpalatable as Erniang said. On the contrary, the meat was delicious, soft and pleasant.
He felt the golden spiritual energy brought to him by the low-grade Garuda, and immediately used the Five Elements Foundation Building Technique to guide the golden spiritual energy into his first acupuncture point.
At this time, the low-grade Garuda only ate half of the plate, and the golden spiritual energy in his first acupuncture point was sufficient, so he reluctantly put the dishes back into the food box.
At this time, the sun was already somewhat westward, and it should have been an hour earlier, but Han Li had not appeared until now.
Tian Lin thought about Han Li going up to the mountain to receive the supervisor's salary, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.
Although the third steward is in charge of the wages of the handyman disciples in the mine, it is not the third steward who actually pays the monthly salary to the supervisors.
"Okay, Brother Tian, we can set off now."
When Tian Lin was worried, Han Li's voice sounded outside the door.
He breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door.
But Han Li was still wearing the same clothes as in the morning, but what was different from the morning was that the left side of his face was extremely swollen, and there were still deep slap marks on his face.
Han Li smiled at Tian Lin and said, "If I had known it would take so long, I wouldn't have told you to wait for me. Fortunately, the sun hasn't set yet, so we can still go shopping for an hour or two."
