This is really Gao Wu

Chapter 11 Returning to the Village
"Brother Li, you are really fierce. You 'fight' with goblins in the morning, and fight with people at noon..." Tang Zhen was teasing Wang Lihong.

"Hehe, brother Tang, what is this? Anyway, I also worked as an apprentice in the martial arts gym in the county for a few days. If it wasn't for the fact that I didn't have much money and I didn't make a name for myself, otherwise I would be a gang leader now. Strong man; even so, his body is still stronger than ordinary people..." Wang Lihong first touched the wound on his nose, and then explained to Tang Zhen with a smile.

Tang Zhen's heart moved, and he quickly asked Wang Lihong about the martial arts.

"Brother Tang, you look like you are learning martial arts? I advise you not to waste your efforts, the kung fu of those three-legged cats in the martial arts gym...tsk tsk..." Wang Lihong shook his head with a sneer expression.

Tang Zhen was puzzled and continued to ask.

"I understand now. Martial arts halls are just for making money. Who will teach you real kung fu? Can real kung fu be bought with money?"

"Being an apprentice in a museum, with dozens of dollars a month, what can I learn? Sweeping the floor and cooking all day, standing up and lifting weights, running errands for the teacher's wife, serving tea and water for the master..."

"Two or three pennies a month, being able to be an official disciple, learning a few tricks and putting on airs, the master is in a good mood, and can give me some pointers..."

"Two taels of silver a month, only to enter the door wall, listen to the secret method of moving Qi and blood, and occasionally have a meal of blood-enriching medicinal food... It depends on whether the master Pi Yanzi is black or not..."

"If you have money, you can stay in the martial arts hall forever, regardless of whether you can become a teacher... If you don't have money, you have to get out..."

"But there are very few who can learn. Most of them leave after two years, and then go out to be a bodyguard, or serve as a thug or guard for a wealthy family. Those like our leader are rare. It's..."

Wang Lihong seemed to think of the days when he was robbed of money in the martial arts gym, and the more he talked, the more angry he became, and his face became more and more angry.

Maybe it was a little dry mouth, so he tore off the water bag tied around his waist, unplugged it, and drank two mouthfuls... Tang Zhen's nose moved: the hair in his mouth replaced the water in the water bag with rice wine!
After hearing Wang Lihong's words, Tang Zhen stopped asking him about it, too, what does this low-end punk know?Naturally, the topic turned back to traditional projects involving pornography and black...

"Brother, let me tell you, our gang leader may start the business of the Jinshui Gang..." Wang Lihong pulled Tang Zhen over to avoid the eyes and ears of other gang members, and whispered to Tang Zhen mysteriously... I have a big melon, come and ask me about my excited expression...

Tang Zhen turned his head to avoid Wang Lihong's tone of dental calculus mixed with alcohol... Although he was not interested, he still said a few perfunctory words.

"Modan, I have to run away quickly. This time I fought each other because of the 'increase in the price of shit', and next time I might even grab someone's dung truck..." Wang Lihong's "secrets" strengthened Tang Zhen's determination to run away with a bucket...

A group of people walked unhurriedly, and soon came to a small village, and a horse-drawn cart came out of the village, with some flowers and plants on it.

"Brother Tang, this is the Zhuangzi who grows flowers in the dyeing workshop guild in the county. If you go further, you will find a way out. I wish you a smooth journey, brother, and we will meet again next time we go to the city..."

Then he made the movements of teaching secrets: hooking his shoulders, avoiding other people, whispering...

"I have done things in the flower fields of Zhuangzi..."

Wang Lihong looked smug, but Tang Zhen remained silent, giving him the middle finger in his heart, and said connotatively: "Then you have to be careful about your good brother-in-law..."

Wang Lihong looked confused, and asked: "Which one is better?"

It turned out that there was someone else who was working with him in the flower field, not the one who made sesame seed cakes!

Tang Zhen felt very embarrassed, and thought in his heart, sooner or later, this hairy man will die on the top...or it may die on the bottom...

Soon, the two teams separated at the fork on the other side of Zhuangzi.

After parting, Tang Zhen obviously felt that the speed of the team had accelerated, and everyone was talking more and louder, especially Li Daniu...

Silly Niu talked to his brother for a while, talked to a few 'wait' for a while, and talked to Tang Zhen again, running back and forth, like a bluebottle, flying around the crowd...

Tang Zhen was so annoyed that he reprimanded him: "Daniu, you bastard, have you been holding your shit in the county these days? Now your mouth is full of shit...why don't you talk so much in the city?"

"Boss, isn't this in the city, and I don't know the place..." Li Daniu replied shyly.

Tang Zhen suddenly realized:
'It turned out to be the comfort zone!When a person leaves his comfort zone and goes to a place he is not familiar with, he will inevitably feel inferior and defensive, so he will be taciturn...'

Thinking of this, Tang Zhen laughed at himself again:
'I may not have a comfort zone for a long time in the future, right? '

He stopped reprimanding Daniel, and added a few words from time to time...

It may be that the trolley on the return trip was pulled very lightly, or that the mood to go to the comfort zone I was familiar with was very urgent, and I didn't stop to rest along the way...Anyway, the time for everyone to rush back to the village was much earlier than Tang Zhen estimated. …

The villagers working in the fields greeted everyone warmly when they saw everyone coming back; the team was still far away, and there were already clever little ghosts, and they went to call the adults...

When Tang Zhen and others walked to the entrance of the village, they saw that the place was already full of 'gongs and drums, firecrackers blaring, red flags waving, and crowds of people';
The village head led the villagers to hold a ladle full of water, saying that they had worked hard, and let everyone drink water.

Looking at the scene in front of him, he was very moved, and Tang Zhen couldn't help feeling a little emotional: 'What is a face-to-face meeting?This is Pai Nian!Thinking that I am the leader in Mawangmiao Village, there are still some people who look up to it... It seems that I am not far from the day when I will be expropriated by the imperial court and reach the pinnacle of my life...'

"Boss Tang, I don't know what I told you when I left that day. How is it?"

Tang Zhen's expression froze, and he looked suspiciously at an old village chief. Then, as if he had thought of something, he waved his hand weakly like a deflated ball, expressing that he would go back and look through the ledger...

"Madan, it turned out that it was for the sake of money... I said why I wasn't so enthusiastic when I left"

These people are obviously Tang Zhen's creditors, and they all come to ask for land rent and wages...

Tang Zhen drank two waters and did not take a break. He took out a bag of copper that was pressed by the rice bag from the back strap of the cart, and ordered Li Daniu and others to take care of the cart... and then sent back the things he bought. Just take the creditors home first...

Tang Zhen returned home, opened the account book and reconciled with everyone, and sent one after the other was right, even the tributes from Li Daniu and others were sent, and it took less than half an hour to finish the work...

"Fortunately, the memory of literacy and writing is not lost, otherwise I would really be blind..." Tang Zhen thought happily...

In the end, there was only a few feed money left for the two horse uncles - Tang Zhen's own tribute was almost used up...

"Lame... Well, the village chief, I need to find you..."

Seeing that the matter was over, the old village chief was about to go home, but before he reached the door, he was stopped by Tang Zhen...

"No borrowing..." The old village chief turned around, looked at Tang Zhen warily, and still clutched his money bag...

Although Tang Zhen felt that the cripple was ridiculous, he suppressed the urge to curse and said:

"You go back first, I will bring two jars of good wine to ask you something..."

The village head looked at Tang Zhen suspiciously, and asked:
"It's so strange, you, Boss Tang, didn't even buy me a sip of water, why are you so generous today?"

"...You didn't poison the wine to kill the old man, did you seek my position as the village chief?..."

The old village head became more vigilant and suspicious...

'...? ? ? ...'

"Madan, I'm just asking you about the county, where do you want to go?" Tang Zhen finally didn't hold back, and said angrily.

"The old man can rest assured, you come to my place later, you bring the wine, I will make two hot dishes, let's have a good drink..." After finishing speaking, he dragged his lame leg and walked home... , and put the money bag at the waist into the clothes on the chest...

Seeing that the old man had left, Tang Zhen tidied up the house and put away the things he bought...

As the sun was setting, Tang Zhen, who had packed up the house, carried two jars of wine and some food, and walked to the old village chief's house...
