Longevity begins with a dog

Chapter 65

The county government of Canglong County.

Xu Chong sat alone in the newly built inner hall with a calm expression.

It has been half a month since I learned scriptures from Wang Hezhi.

In the past half month, he tried many ways to express his affection.

The first is martial arts.

This is quite in line with his wishes, but in actual implementation, there are many problems.

Without the method of Baoyang Gong, he can only practice Zhefeng Shou after practice.

And Zhefeng Shou is an attacking move, and as soon as he starts to practice, there is a killing intent gushing out from the bottom of his heart.

Xu Chong speculated that if he continued to practice single-mindedly, he would soon become a murderous monster.

At that time, let alone water ghosts that might pose a threat to him, he would go up and beat anyone's head flying if he was just walking on the road.

No way.

Then there are mountains and rivers.

This is also pretty good, who doesn’t love traveling in mountains and rivers?Not to mention in this world where the natural environment is well preserved.

But the problem is that this place is no different from the previous life. There is no guide or navigation, and you can't call for help if you get lost. Even the map is so abstract that it takes a lot of effort to understand it.

Coupled with official position restrictions and possible dangers, it cannot be considered for the time being.

Helpless, Xu Chong tried to send his love to the sun and the moon again.

However, he really couldn't conceive the feeling that the bright sun breeds all things and the bright moon witnesses lovesickness.

Except for sore eyes during the day and sore neck at night, there is nothing to gain.

As for the country and the people...

This is the old path of the original body, but it can't be followed.

None of the examples Wang Hezhi cited worked.

Xu Chong began to try other things, not sticking to what is superior.

Such as books, wealth, wine, food, etc., etc.

To be honest, Xu Chong didn't reject these things, but they were all just that, and he couldn't concentrate on them at all.

"This should be the original intention of what the master said."

"Wu Wenjing is greedy at heart, and focusing on money can be sincere and righteous, and can also use money to assist martial arts, but it falls into the bottom line, and the effect is too poor."

"Zhou Ze's words, according to his performance before his death, he should be obsessed with things like status and power. To put it more positively, he can be regarded as self-improvement...Fu Yuanlong probably is too."

"Wei Wuxie is rather vague, maybe he doesn't need to rely on this method."

"In short, if I want to find a way to express my love that suits me, maybe I need to figure out my heart first."

"Original heart... what is my original heart?"

Xu Chong thought carefully.

However, half a day passed, but nothing came of it.

Until the sun was high, Si Yan suddenly came to report: "Master Xu, someone from the county government asked to see him, saying that he was your former classmate."

"Student?"

Xu Chong came back to his senses, his heart moved, "The person here has a square face and thick eyebrows, with moles on his eyebrows?"

"Yes, it's really a classmate of the adults? The little one immediately invites him in."

Si Yan nodded and turned to leave.

"No, I'll go by myself."

Xu Chong was full of smiles, and walked out quickly.

"This……"

Si Yan was a little panicked, and looked at Zhao Liu for help.

Not long after he took over this position, he really didn't recognize anyone, if he was negligent...

"Just don't worry, what the rumors are about the adults outside, the adults are really what they are, and such trivial matters will not be kept in mind."

Zhao Liu patted Si Yan on the shoulder, and looked in the direction Xu Chong was leaving.

He had already guessed the identity of the person coming, so he didn't follow.

Soon, Xu Chong arrived at the gate of the county government office.

A young man in a sapphire blue brocade robe, with his back to the county government office, watched the passers-by on the road.

When the man heard the footsteps, when he turned around, his face was filled with sincere joy, and he cupped his hands and bowed: "Brother Yu has seen Brother Xu."

It was Zhang Shunyi.

"Hahaha."

Xu Chong laughed, and stepped forward to support Zhang Shunyi, "Xie Yuanlang, are you finally willing to come back? I thought you were developed and looked down on this small place like Canglong."

Seeing his classmates and friends at the worst time made Xu Chong very happy.

"Brother Xu, don't be sarcastic."

Zhang Shunyi couldn't laugh or cry.

"It's still so rigid, it's really boring."

Xu Chong pulled Zhang Shunyi up, "Let's go, sit inside and talk."

"Brother Xu, Brother Yu hasn't returned for several months and wants to take a walk around."

Without moving his feet, Zhang Shunyi spoke out.

"Oh? Good."

Xu Chong's heart moved slightly, he nodded and took the lead.

that's it.

The two began to stroll, very slowly.

Zhang Shunyi didn't speak until he passed by Dongshi and stopped suddenly.

"Brother Xu is indeed a good official, and he did not disappoint everyone."

"How to say?"

Xu Chong was surprised.

"I've never seen anything like this before."

Zhang Shunyi pointed in one direction.

About a hundred paces away, a three-storey restaurant stands there, with a large brocade fluttering in the wind, and the crowds can be seen from afar.

A waiter waiter just came out of the restaurant, pulled up the porter who had just finished unloading, and made a gesture of invitation with one hand.

"The little one is probably inviting the porter to go in and have a rest and drink a cup of hot tea, and maybe there will be some food as well."

Xu Chong said a little puzzled, "Is there anything special about this? Everyone will be generous sometimes."

"But the problem is, the porter doesn't show any panic at all."

Zhang Shunyi smiled, "Look at the vendors around you again."

Xu Chong heard the words and looked again.

There is a line drawn with red paint on the ground on both sides of the main road. All the merchants set up stalls and sell in this line, and pedestrians look outside the line to inquire about the price.

This red line has become the most concentrated place of saliva,
"You say this, it's just a trivial matter."

Xu Chong said with a nonchalant smile, "In the past, the East and West markets were too chaotic. There were often street vendors making noise to occupy the space, and sometimes even affected the aisles. I simply restricted their death to save some trouble."

"In the past, merchants were not allowed to enter the eastern and western cities."

Zhang Shunyi shook his head and said with emotion: "However, that's not what I want to talk about."

"Brother Xu, didn't you find out?"

"Whether it's the second-hand porter or the street vendor, they seem to have something less and something more than before."

Is that less or more?
Xu Chong was still puzzled.

"Perhaps, less submissiveness and more self?"

Zhang Shunyi said, "In short, everyone seems to no longer look down on themselves as much as before, and this is a change that only occurred after Brother Xu became an official."

"Uh."

Xu Chong touched his nose, "Actually, I didn't do anything."

"Ha ha."

Zhang Shunyi stepped forward again, smiling meaningfully, "Sometimes it doesn't matter if you do too much or not, it's more important to do it right."

Strolling continues.

When we arrived in the downtown area, the number of pedestrians suddenly increased, and more and more people recognized Xu Chong.

These people did not come forward to say hello, but they were not restrained either. They just smiled and watched them off with respect and approval.

As he was walking, Xu Chong suddenly remembered something, and said, "I almost forgot, Xie Yuanlang returned to his hometown, and according to the rules, there must be a banquet to celebrate with beating of gongs and drums."

"But you've already entered the city, so it's superficial to engage in battles with drums and gongs."

"How about this, in the Spring Breeze Residence tonight, please invite your master and classmates to gather together, and you will also share your experience with those who failed the exam, how about it?"

After a while, Zhang Shunyi never responded.

Xu Chong sensed something was wrong and turned his head to look.

Zhang Shunyi pursed his lips tightly, looking a little struggling.

"what happened?"

Xu Chong asked with a frown.

"Brother Xu..."

Zhang Shunyi's tone was a little low, "After I came back, I didn't visit Master."
