Chapter 15
"Does Taoist Liu still come to our Taoist temple?"

Yang Zhen interrupted Tie Zhu's memory and asked again "Where did the Taoist priest go?"

"Probably not coming." Tie Zhu shook his head, and slowly explained: "Daoist Liu has a white disc the size of a palm. He won't be able to come back after leaving for a few days, otherwise he will keep it in his room and let me not touch it."

"I carried you back from the well that day, and you didn't wake up. I thought that Daoist Liu was a fairy, and there should be a way to wake you up, so I went to his room to check, but found that he was not there, and the array was also gone. Gone, so..."

Tie Zhu held his head, a little depressed: "Daoist Liu is gone, and will not come again!"

The benefactor left, but you have no food to eat again, Yang Zhen muttered to herself.

He was a little strange, it is said that Daoist Liu had only left for a few days, and usually gave Tie Zhu a lot of rewards, why didn't he save any money?
But he couldn't ask this question no matter what, otherwise maybe the friend wouldn't have to do it.Yang Zhen was also very depressed. He had a lot of questions and wanted to ask a fairy, for example, what kind of person can have spiritual roots, is it possible for him?

"If I can't cultivate immortality, what's the point of my coming to this world?" Yang Zhen muttered to herself.

At this time, the night has completely fallen on this mountain forest, the sky is full of stars, and the bright and winding Milky Way is clearly visible.Under the starlight, the mountains are undulating, the trees are shadowy, and there are even unknown insects neighing in a low voice, silent and beautiful.

Yang Zhen looked up at the beautiful starry sky in a daze.

Tie Zhu was still immersed in memories.

Both of them stopped talking and remained motionless, like two stone statues.

After a long time, Yang Zhen broke the tranquility.He remembered a question: "You just said that Taoist Liu lived in his own room?"

"Well. Our Taoist temple has a wing room. It used to be an old Taoist priest, and later Taoist Liu. They all lived there."

"Daoist Liu is definitely not coming back?"

"affim."

"Apart from the two of us, there is no one else in this Taoist temple?"

"No, just the two of us." Tie Zhu looked at Yang Zhen strangely: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Then why are we still living on the door plank bed!" Yang Zhen turned around and left: "Let's live in the wing room!"

"This can't be done!" Tie Zhu hurriedly grabbed Yang Zhen, "Even if Taoist Liu is gone, if... if there is another immortal in our Taoist temple, where would you let him live?"

I dare you to wait for another fairy to come to your door!
You treat this place as a paradise, and the immortals come here on the pole!

Are you sitting on the sidelines?
Yang Zhen couldn't help laughing out loud.

…………

The next day, morning.On the grass in front of the Taoist temple, two teenagers were dancing with spears and sticks.

Last night, Yang Zhen dragged and tugged, and finally pulled the reluctant Tie Zhu to the wing.The room was not big, and it was very clean. It was a different world from the Taoist temple covered with dust and cobwebs outside.The room had a futon and a single bed.Tie Zhu and Yang Zhen are both half-grown children, and it doesn't look crowded when they sleep on it.

However, Tie Zhu was feeling uncomfortable and kept muttering to himself, and he still got up in the middle of the night to sleep on his door plank bed.Yang Zhen couldn't sleep well, and the familiar headache and tearing sensation came again, which made him almost cry out several times.Later, he took out wood carvings and small stones, and while rubbing them in his hands, he thought about some messy things.I don't know if his attention was distracted, or if these two little things were a little miraculous, and the headache gradually disappeared, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Even so, he was still full of energy when he woke up the next day, and he learned his family's stick technique with Tie Zhu—this was what the two of them had agreed on last night.

The stick technique handed down by Tie Zhu's family is not profound, just a few simple movements such as "hitting, chopping, covering, sweeping, piercing, picking, and lifting", Yang Zhen learned it after practicing it twice.This body also showed quite good talent in learning martial arts, which surprised him once again.

No matter how simple the stick technique is, it is hundreds of times stronger than the previous flurry.Now Yang Zhen has this kind of stick technique, coupled with his quick response, strength and endurance far beyond his peers.Even if there are a dozen more beggars like yesterday, and they fight each other with sticks, Yang Zhen believes that the final victory must belong to her.

After practicing the stick technique, the two stripped naked by the well, and each scrubbed their bodies.Yang Zhen changed into the clothes given to him by the old lady yesterday, and tied her long hair into a ponytail. Her whole face took on a new look, and she no longer looked like a beggar.

After using the leftover pancakes from last night, Yang Zhen told Tie Zhu that from today onwards, he would find a job in the county town, and hoped that Tie Zhu would be with him.

"We can't be beggars all our lives. We can definitely support ourselves with our hands!"

"Taoist temples cannot be our home. Our home is there!
On the way down the mountain, pointing to the bustling and noisy city under the clear sky, Yang Zhen shouted loudly.

……

The two came to Weiyang County City again.

Although only one day later, this city is only the second visit.Yang Zhen's state of mind is completely different from yesterday's, he was curious, dazed, and afraid.Now he has put these negative emotions behind him, cheered up, confident, and determined.

This city is no longer the strange ancient city it was yesterday.With the experience in the old woman's house, there is a person like Uncle Shaobing who is indifferent on the outside and warm on the inside.This city has already made him feel a little kind, and he has a preliminary sense of identity.

Yang Zhen believed that he would be able to find his own foothold in this huge Suijiang County.

……

The first job unit Yang Zhen chose was a restaurant.

This is a small three-story building, which looks quite quaint and introverted for some years.The first floor is probably for dine-in, and there is a lot of people inside, and it is very lively. It seems that the breakfast here is very popular.The second floor looks like a tea house, with curls of water steaming.Yang Zhen on the third floor probably used a private room, since it was morning, there was probably no one there, and there was no sound coming out.

At the entrance of the restaurant stood a waiter, dressed in gray soap, welcoming customers.

Yang Zhen walked over with Tie Zhu, following the example of adults, stretched out her hands to bow, and sang aloud.

"My little brother, is the shopkeeper of your restaurant here?"

The errand saw two children coming over, the leading boy had a strange braid, and imitated the grown-ups to salute and speak in a serious manner, which was quite amusing.It happened to be a little free at this time, so I responded with a smile:
"Whose family are you a child? Is your adult drinking tea and eating in our restaurant? Come, come, I will take you in to find..."

Seeing Xiao Er's misunderstanding, Yang Zhen quickly waved her hands:
"I'm not looking for someone. I'm looking for the shopkeeper of your building to discuss something."

"What's the matter, tell me first."

Hearing that he was looking for a shopkeeper, Xiao Er was surprised. He looked at the outfits of Yang Zhen and the two of them, they were all ordinary people, especially the big one at the back, whose clothes were even more shabby, so he felt relieved, thinking that it shouldn't matter thing.

Yang Zhen hesitated a little, she had to pass the second test, so she made it clear:
"My two brothers suffered from a plague of rats in their home, and they are living here. They want to find a job in an expensive restaurant..."

"no!"

Before Yang Zhen finished speaking, she was flatly rejected by Xiao Er.

The little Er raised his hand and pointed at the iron pillar:
"Your brother looks like this... Our restaurant is open for business. This dignified appearance does not have to scare away our customers. You don't need to go to the shopkeeper, of course not! I will take you there, and you may even be scolded!"

This is how he was rejected by the security guard at the door before meeting the interviewer!Yang Zhen secretly called it bad luck, so she had to throw out plan B:

"Second brother, you misunderstood. It's not my elder brother who is looking for a job, but myself."

"You?" Xiao Er looked Yang Zhen up and down: "How old are you this year?"

"Nine...no, ten...ten years old!" Yang Zhen felt a little bad, and spoke a little faster: "You don't think I'm young, I can write and count, and I also sweep the floor and clean the table, and serve tea and water. , Do odd jobs in the hall, I can do everything!"

Yang Zhen patted her chest, trying to look like an adult.Of course, in a sense, he is indeed a grown-up.

"Heh..." Xiao Er sneered: "Can you do everything? With your small body, can you hold on to serving dishes? Toad yawns, it's really a big tone, hey!"

After Xiao Er finished speaking, he lifted the towel to his shoulder, turned around and continued to greet the guests.

Yang Zhen got angry, and jumped there: "Why do you underestimate people? I can do everything you can do, young master! You are jealous, I want to see your shopkeeper!"

Yang Zhen wanted to continue her theory, but was held back by Tie Zhu.Looking back, I saw that Tie Zhu's lips were tightly closed, his face was flushed red, and he looked very angry.

"Let's go!" Tie Zhu said angrily.

The two left the restaurant and walked for a while with their heads sullen.Tie Zhu said suddenly: "Little Shitou, I want to go by myself."

After speaking, he walked in the other direction.

This was hurt by what the little girl said just now!Yang Zhen sighed and watched Tie Zhu disappear at the end of the street.

……

Unfavorable start, Yang Zhen is not depressed.Looking for a job, how many people are successful in one interview?If you don't visit every "enterprise" in this city, it won't be finished!
Yang Zhen has a fellow villager who studies finance. She graduated from a mediocre school and has little chance of staying there.When it came time to look for a job, he went to the most prosperous commercial street in that city to submit his resume to one company after another. Finally, he got his wish and joined a big company, got an attractive salary, and stayed in that city.

As an inspirational story, his experience is often brought up and discussed at fellow villagers' gatherings, and Yang Zhen is naturally familiar with it.

Yang Zhen intends to go all over the city's restaurants, shops, workshops, and inns, and ask each of them.
The store in front has a high wall, a gate, and a big "Dang" character written on the banner outside the gate, with words on both sides:

Life is a story of coming and going, and the world is like a thing.

This is a pawn shop, Yang Zhen walked in.
