Chapter 30

With a creak, the door opened.

An old man dressed in ancient costume appeared inside, and he looked Zhang Wenbin up and down.

He said, "I can give you some food, but I can't keep you in the room."

Zhang Wenbin knew that the old man misunderstood him as a beggar.

After all, with his short hair and his dirty and strange clothes, anyone would regard him as a beggar.

He naturally understood the local language, and said in the language here: "Hello, old sir! I am not a beggar."

"My village was robbed by horse bandits, my home was ransacked, and I was harshly treated by the villagers. I have no choice but to end here."

"I came here hoping to find a job and learn a craft to support my family. I don't know if the old man can accept me."

The old man looked Zhang Wenbin up and down seriously, and said, "Which village are you from?"

"I'm a villager from Wang Village. My father is a private school teacher. But he passed away last year, and I'm alone now."

"Your surname is Wang?"

The old man knew Wang Village, which was more than 100 miles away.

It is the farthest village under the jurisdiction of Qianxing County. It is impossible for him to find out the truth now.

Moreover, it is not uncommon for horse bandits to rob villages, as long as they don't hurt their lives.

The government is too lazy to care.

"My surname is Zhang, and my name is Zhang Wenbin."

The old man saw that Zhang Wenbin didn't seem to be pretending, and he talked like a child of a private school teacher.

"Okay! Come in, kid, drink some water!"

As he said that, the old man smiled and held his wrist and led him towards Yizhuang.

"Thank you!" Seeing the old man's actions, Zhang Wenbin felt vigilant towards the old man in his heart.

Just now a soft and vague force was transmitted along the meridians of his wrist. Is this old man checking if he has internal strength?

"Fortunately, the rules for the evolution of soul crystals will not be detected by themselves."

Just as Zhang Wenbin thought, the old man did not find out that Zhang Wenbin possessed internal strength, which meant that he was not a martial arts practitioner.

Half of his vigilance was lowered.

"I still don't know how to call the old man?"

Zhang Wenbin was led into the courtyard of Yizhuang, and he saw that the houses were no different from ordinary people's houses.

However, the surrounding air indicated that there were still many corpses that had not been dealt with.

Seeing Zhang Wenbin clasping his hands to ask, the old man stroked his beard and said, "My name is Han Xinglan, and he is the owner of this Yizhuang."

"Pu'er?" Han Xinglan shouted.

"Father?"

A young man walked out of the main hall with a handsome face.

About fifteen or sixteen years old, of medium build, a head shorter than Zhang Wenbin.

"Brother Zhang Wenbin! This is Yu Pu, the adopted son of the old man. You can find him for anything you need." Han Xinglan introduced.

"I've seen Brother Yu."

"I met Brother Zhang."

After the two saluted each other, Zhang Wenbin still turned his attention to Han Xinglan.

He had to stay now to get that inexplicable opportunity, and he couldn't just stay overnight and leave.

He simply said bluntly: "Mr. Han, I really have nowhere to go. I wonder if I can get a job with you, sir."

Yu Pu glanced at Zhang Wenbin and scratched his head.

Immediately, he thought of something, and his eyes rolled.

"This..." Han Xinglan hesitated.

"Father! Don't we still need a long-term worker here? I think Brother Zhang is really pitiful. Why don't we let him stay?"

Yu Pu glanced at Zhang Wenbin kindly, and then suggested to Han Xinglan.

"Ugh?"

Han Xinglan waved his hand and said, "Little brother Zhang comes from a scholarly family, how can he be a long-term worker?"

"Ahem." Zhang Wenbin cleared his throat on purpose, and said, "Mister, you are joking. They say you are a scholar who is useless."

"What's more, I just learned some knowledge by ear and eyes. I haven't even won the honor yet, and I have long since extinguished my desire for the imperial examination."

"Now that we are in such a difficult situation, I still hope that my husband will enjoy the food. I am naturally grateful."

Seeing that Zhang Wenbin was speaking sincerely, Han Xinglan stroked his beard, and said seriously, "Are you really going to stop the imperial examination?"

"It's absolutely true!" Zhang Wenbin's eyes were clear.

Nodding her head, Han Xinglan said, "I don't lack long-term jobs here. You can do any jobs with Yu Pu together."

"If you really put your heart out of the imperial examination, you can learn the craft of my work. I don't know if you would like it."

"Zhang Wenbin pays homage to Master!"

Zhang Wenbin knelt down and kowtowed to Han Xinglan with a look of gratitude.

"Hahaha" Han Xinglan's eyes brightened, she quickly helped Zhang Wenbin up, and said, "That's right! Since you are willing to worship me as your teacher, the master will naturally give you all you have. It will give you the qualifications to live in this world."

"Pu'er! Take Wen Bin to take a bath first and change your clothes." Han Xinglan ordered.

Yu Pu smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, please follow me!"

After Zhang Wenbin took a shower refreshed, he put on the changed clothes and went to find Yu Pu.

Yu Pu was busy cooking at this time, when he saw Zhang Wenbin coming over, his eyes were strange, and he said bluntly: "Brother Zhang is really a good-looking talent."

Zhang Wenbin smiled and said, "Brother Yu is joking! Are you cooking? Is it just the three of us, Master, in this Yizhuang?"

"And Missy! I'll be out in a while."

Yu Pu smiled and shook his head.

"Yu Pu! Is the meal ready? I'm hungry."

Not long after Yu Pu finished speaking, a young woman's voice sounded.

Zhang Wenbin looked back, only to see a plump girl of fourteen or fifteen years old with a protruding front and back, walking in a hurry.

At this time, she suddenly saw Zhang Wenbin turn around, she jumped in fright, stood on the spot with her arms akimbo, and said, "Who are you?"

Yu Pu hurriedly explained: "This is the new apprentice of the adoptive father."

"Oh?" The woman looked Zhang Wenbin up and down, and said lightly, "Sit down and eat later."

"Okay! Thank you." Zhang Wenbin smirked, secretly wondering in his heart: "A woman who has not left the cabinet does not avoid people when she sees it. It may be that her father has been dealing with corpses all year round, so there are not so many red tapes."

From the moment Zhang Wenbin entered the door, he observed everyone carefully.

He doesn't know where that opportunity comes from, so he must always pay attention.

"The meal is ready!"

Yu Pu opened the wooden pot lid and picked up a spoon to shovel Le shovel.

"Okay! Leave it to me, you go to my father for dinner." The woman said.

"Okay! Hehe."

Yu Pu scratched his head and ran to the nearby morgue.

"Wang Wang!"

As soon as Yu Pu ran away, a big black dog rushed in from the door.

The big black dog was not afraid of people. He glanced at Zhang Wenbin suspiciously, then walked to the woman wagging his tail.

"Get out! Wangcai, are you disobedient?"

The woman was serving vegetables when she saw the black dog come over and kick her.

The black dog did not hide from being kicked, and continued to wag its tail.

"Miss Han, let me help you!"

Zhang Wenbin took the initiative to come forward to help serve the dishes.

"My name is Han Youniang, you can call me Han Youniang or Youniang. Don't call me Miss Han!"

Han Youniang frowned and said angrily.

Zhang Wenbin rolled his eyes inwardly, "This little lady has a pretty temper."

"Okay! Han Youniang."

Zhang Wenbin was carrying the dishes, and just about to bring them into the house, she heard Han Youniang shout: "Don't bring them into the house, did you see that wooden pier? My father likes to eat outside at night."

"Oh oh oh! OK."

"What are these habits?"

Zhang Wenbin thought to himself while carrying the dishes.
