Occupational sacrifice

Chapter 11
Zhang Buyi took a look, then turned and sat back at the table.After Zhang Bucheng washed his hands carefully, he took off his clothes in the yard, shook them, and patted the ashes on his head before going into the house and sitting down.

"You made it?" Zhang Bucheng asked, looking at the white rice in front of him and smelling the aroma of caramelized vegetables all over the room.

Zhang Buyi did not answer the other party's question, but said indifferently: "Eat!"

Between the words, without waiting, he picked up the bowl and ate first.

Zhang Bucheng looked at Zhang Buyi again. In the past two days, he has already said five or six words to himself. Does he plan to stop talking to me next month?
"Don't pick up potatoes all the time, two catties of meat is enough." Zhang Bucheng, who was thinking wildly while eating, was interrupted by Zhang Buyi's cold words.

Zhang Bucheng's movements froze again, and he choked up and said, "Mmm..."

How many years have you not cared about him so much?

It's been five years!
At the dinner table, once again fell into silence, Zhang Bucheng secretly glanced at Zhang Buyi from time to time, his eyes gradually revealed a happy light, a little silly, a little flattering, looking so humble.

At the same time, savoring the food carefully is like eating delicacies from mountains and seas.

Although Zhang Buyi felt that his skills were not bad, he definitely wasn't exaggerating. He wasn't even a chef.

Obviously, this guy sensed the change in his attitude and felt that he was beginning to forgive the other party.

"By the way, this is today's wages. It's a good job today, worth eight cents!" Zhang Bucheng suddenly remembered something, quickly put down the bowl in his hand, and carefully took out a few copper coins from his pocket.

Putting it in front of Zhang Buyi, he was a little proud, flattering, and careful.

Zhang Buyi raised his head again, and glanced at the familiar yet unfamiliar young man in front of him, this is his brother, no matter what happened before, he should always be in the future!

Being watched by Zhang Buyi, Zhang Bucheng showed a pure smile, his eyes were full of happiness, he didn't know why he was so happy.

Zhang Buyi silently put away the money and buried himself in his meal.

"I heard that there will be more work in the next few days, maybe I can earn more. I will work harder and try to let you finish your studies on time next time, so you don't have to wait until the end of school, so I will make you look good."

Probably feeling the goodwill released by Zhang Buyi, even though his face was still cold, he still spoke actively.

Zhang Buyi paused, and said: "Don't go to work there tomorrow, go back to the pier!"

Zhang Bucheng was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "I'm just working at the dock?"

"Then change to another one." Zhang Buyi still said calmly, without arguing about it.

"But... But in the past few days, there are not two large ships, and there is nothing to unload. Don't worry, this job is much easier than unloading. Just move some messy things, and it won't be tiring." Zhang Bucheng said replied.

"I said, change the place." Zhang Buyi's face turned cold, and his tone became a little bit more serious, using his original attitude.

Zhang Bucheng trembled instinctively for a moment, looked at Zhang Buyi with a cold face, and said in a panic: "Okay, okay, I will change tomorrow, I will change tomorrow, don't be angry."

The living room became quiet again, a little less warm and a little more frosty.

"I found a job. It doesn't matter if you can't find a job tomorrow. The money in your hand is enough for a ten-day meal. In the second ten-day period, I will have a salary."

After a while, Zhang Buyi was not the original owner after all, so he broke the silence with some explanations and some intentions to reassure the other party.

"No!" The moment Zhang Bucheng heard this, he showed a tough attitude in front of Zhang Buyi for the first time, and said a little excitedly:
"Just leave the money-making to me. Don't worry, I'll get it for you when you finish repairing. Father's last wish is to make you honor your ancestors. We can't let him feel at ease."

"I didn't say I wouldn't study." Zhang Buyi glanced at the excited Zhang Bucheng, and said, "I won the first place in the previous exam, and the courtyard has arranged an errand for the patrol room in advance."

"But, but..." But for a long time, Zhang Bucheng didn't think of how to express what he wanted.

But Zhang Buyi understood it, and added again: "The times are different now, even if I win the prize of scholar, or even win the prize of Juren, the path will not be much better than it is now.

Do you think it was the old days when cruel officials were cheap, and besides, patrolling is also a serious official status!You have the courage to move those things, why didn't you take the opportunity to learn more about the current situation. "

Zhang Bucheng paused, and said in a panic: "I, I asked, there is no problem, just move some things and do odd jobs."

"Okay, anyway, just don't go again."

Zhang Buyi didn't want to talk to him about the era, whether the New Deal would succeed or not, and whether the radicals were in danger.

The difference in vision between the two is too big, directly and forcefully asking the other party not to go, is more straightforward and more direct and effective than a little bit of explanation.

"You go to study, I'll come!" After a while, Zhang Bucheng said immediately, looking at Zhang Buyi who was about to wash the dishes after eating.

Zhang Buyi paused, said nothing, put down the things in his hands, turned around and entered the room silently.

Seeing Zhang Buyi enter the room, Zhang Bucheng quickly finished the rice in the bowl, went to the kitchen, found Zhang Buyi's bread in the kitchen, and saw that there was still a lot of white rice in the pot.

He didn't add any more, but put away all the rest of the food.Seeing that there was still a lot of potato and vegetable soup left in the pot, he became cruel and took two pieces of the leftover noodle cakes from Zhang Yi's lunch to soak and eat.

······
After Zhang Buyi entered the room, he thought about today's affairs and finalized three short-term goals.

The first thing is to find a way to get in touch with woman A and try to gain fate, at least to understand how to get fate.

The second is that if there is a chance, if you get in touch with Fang Rui, you need to make sure that the death of your predecessor has nothing to do with him, or whether the other party has any conspiracy.

The last thing is to go to the police station to work as an errand. This is also more important. It is not only related to the contact with extraordinary professions, but also related to his livelihood, and it is also the current source of income.

After all, in this day and age, there are gunpowder, cement, soap, burning glass and other messy things, and they are more formal.

Relying on the little things in his memory, the counterfeit goods produced are definitely not comparable to other people's industrialized goods.It is impossible to pick up gold just by messing around a few times.

Therefore, the salary of an errand is the best way to improve life at present.

After finalizing his thoughts, Zhang Buyi looked at the cabinets in the room again, and began to read medical classics again to pass the time.

Although there is no extraordinary ability, it is always right to have a little more knowledge reserve.

In this way, I don't know how long it took, he felt that the time was almost there before he turned off the oil lamp and lay down on the bed again.

······
In the middle of the night, Zhang Buyi didn't know how long he had slept. Suddenly, the book in his mind trembled, and a familiar longing hit him. It was similar to seeing woman A in Tianxiang Tower before, but the feeling was slightly lighter.

"Who!"

This feeling woke up Zhang Buyi, and then he suddenly thought of something and let out a loud roar.

The sound was not small, and in the silent night, it exploded like thunder, spreading far away.

"Crack... Xisuo..."

A strange sound sounded, it seemed that someone panicked and walked away quickly.

Zhang Buyi didn't have the slightest intention of chasing him out, he sat on the bed, not daring to move.

"Kangdang..."

After a sound, Zhang Bucheng knocked outside Zhang Buyi's door and asked nervously, "Xiaoyi, what happened?"

Only then did Zhang Buyi come back to his senses, suppressed the panic in his heart, and said coldly: "I seem to have heard that thieves entered the yard just now, but they should be scared away now."

"What, you dare to steal from me, I'll go out and have a look." Zhang Bucheng outside the door said immediately.

"Don't go out of the yard!" Zhang Buyi warned.

"Don't worry, I'll take a look in the yard." Zhang Bucheng replied.

There was a little movement outside the door, and Zhang Buyi also calmed down at this moment.

The moment he woke up with a start, he subconsciously thought that the 'horse' had come. After all, she was the only one who had that motive in the middle of the night.That's why he reacted in fear.

But calm down now, obviously it shouldn't be, otherwise, the result would not be like this.

'It seems that in the situation just now, he was beating the wolf with a hemp stick, and both sides were afraid, and he wasn't the only one who panicked? '

Recalling the news of the other party leaving in a hurry, Zhang Buyi showed a little doubt.He was afraid because of those 'horses'. Since the other party came to the door at night, why was he afraid?

And what does the other party want to do?
I can't procrastinate any longer, I have to find an opportunity to say anything tomorrow, find some way to get in touch with the woman A, try to gain fate, and trigger the golden finger function.

One more day of delay means one more day of danger. If the 'horse' finds out that he is not dead, it will be dangerous.

After all, according to the situation of the previous crossing, the opponent is definitely a professional, no matter what level he is, he cannot deal with it.

The inner thoughts kept churning, Zhang Buyi tossed and turned for most of the night before falling into a deep sleep.
