Becoming a God Starting from a Water Monkey

Looking at the two figures wandering at the door, Liang Qu frowned.

Who are these two Pennsylvanians? He stayed up most of the night and hung out in front of my house.

At the door, a middle-aged man and a lean young man were standing in front of and behind each other. The one who had just asked the question was the middle-aged man with fair skin. This man's clothes were clean and tidy, and he did not look like an ordinary person.

Looking at the middle-aged man who obviously had some background, Liang Qu searched quickly in his mind.

Zheng Xiang on the other side saw that Liang Qu was silent and thought that the other party was still struggling. He waved his hand, and the boy beside him immediately raised a sack and opened the mouth of the sack.

Zheng Xiang rolled up his sleeves and reached into it. Under the moonlight, Liang Qu saw that the man actually grabbed a large handful of white polished rice!

Liang Qu swallowed. The stomach pain he felt when he first arrived really left some psychological shadow on him.

Zheng Xiang slowly poured the rice in his hand into the bag: "What, as long as you accept Mr. Zhao as your adoptive father, this bushel of polished rice will be yours, and the rice you will eat from now on will be as good as this!"

Foster father! ?

Hearing this word, Liang Qu's brain seemed to turn on a certain switch, but it wasn't the switch of "If you don't give up, Bu is willing to be your adoptive father", but the cause and effect of the whole thing.

The middle-aged man in front of him is Zheng Xiang, one of the butlers of Mr. Zhao’s house in Hantan in the next town!

The purpose of the other party's coming here is very simple, to buy slaves!

They were all at the door, and it was obvious who the slave was.

As for why buying a slave is said to be acknowledging an adopted father, it is because the founding emperor of Dashun stipulated that ordinary people were prohibited from raising private slaves. Therefore, many rich people adopted slaves in the form of adopting their adopted daughters as sons. As long as it is certified by a notary, it is fine. Later generations have different approaches but similar results.

It stands to reason that since the original life was so difficult, selling oneself might be a way to survive. Being a housekeeper and a good source of food really gave me enough face.

But here’s the crux of the matter, who is so interested in recruiting slaves?

That Mr. Zhao is said to be a seductress!

When Liang Qu first arrived, he discovered that the boy he had traveled through time not only had the same name, but also had a similar appearance. He could be called his version of himself in a parallel time and space. Even though his skin was a bit tanned and his father had been fishing all year round, he had excellent facial features and a good appearance. It’s absolutely not bad to raise.

Combining the two, the so-called "rumors" are probably true.

Thinking of this, Liang Qu shuddered and felt disgusted all over.

"How do you think about it?" Zheng Xiang asked again.

The last time he visited, he was told to think about it, but now, he was fully confident that if the other party didn't accept his conditions, he might starve to death at home in the next few days!

Zheng Xiang even called people from the dental shop to come over as a guarantee, lest Liang Qu just sold himself and went back on his word and went to the government to sue, saying that the Zhao family forced Liang Liang into slavery.

It’s not that the Zhao family is afraid of being accused, who likes to cause trouble? How many pieces of paper do you need to wipe your butt?

The young man from the dental shop on the side also helped: "Yes, yes, young man, being able to go to the Zhao Mansion is a blessing that ordinary people like us will never be able to cultivate in a few lifetimes. There is no need to go through wind and rain like now." Go, how many rations can you eat in a year?”

‘Your grandma, whoever wants to enjoy this blessing can enjoy it without worrying about not being able to wipe his butt clean when he poops. ’

Liang Qu cursed secretly and declined politely. The Zhao family has a great business, and he is really not something he can offend now: "I'm really sorry, Butler Zheng. I'm so short-lived that I can't enjoy such great blessings, so I let you come here in vain." If you don’t like it, why don’t you take this yellow croaker back as my apology?”

The Yaxing boy was stunned.

Zheng Xiang's expression changed. He didn't expect Liang Qu to refuse at all. He moved closer, forcing Liang Qu to take two steps back. However, the distance was still much closer, and he suddenly noticed something unusual.

Why does Liang Qu look so good? It doesn’t look like I’ve been hungry for a few days! And where did this yellow croaker come from? Did he catch it?

Zheng Xiang's mind was spinning, and he didn't understand why a helpless young man,

Will it turn around in just a few days?

Liang Qu was startled. Just when he was about to say something to save his own life, Zheng Xiang calmed down first: "Nothing, this is a transaction between you and me. There is no need to apologize. If you can It’s not easy to catch yellow croaker, so just keep it, little man. It’s getting late, so I won’t keep it any longer. Farewell!”

While he was talking, Zheng Xiang had already left with the Yaxing boy, leaving only Liang Qu with the yellow croaker at the door.

Did you offend him or not?

Liang Qu's expression was gloomy and uncertain. It was said that he was free to answer or not, but it was a mistake for a weak person to reject a strong person.

The most important thing is that the whole thing contains many inconsistencies and is full of doubts.

The Zhao family is a big family in Pingyang Town next door. Why did they know so quickly that there was an orphan in Yixing City who could hardly survive?

Scary Zhang, is the Zhao family...

"It seems that I need to become a martial artist as soon as possible. Once I become a martial artist, the Zhao family will not be able to do anything to me."

With his thoughts on his mind, Liang Qu fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, under the surprised eyes of the passing fishermen, Liang Qu sold the yellow croaker to the most luxurious restaurant in Yixing City and received eighty copper coins.

It is far from the time to pay fishing tax and other miscellaneous taxes. Neither I nor my ancestors have ever rented anything from a fishing pen, so there is no need to be exploited to pay off debts. In addition, Nghi Hing City is close to the big city, has good public security, and there are no fishing tyrants. You can basically get the money to yourself.

It would be miserable if you lived in some poor ravine. The fishing tyrants and fishing pens all went into battle, and you were completely stripped. You were always on the verge of a civil commotion, with only one person shouting slogans missing.

After getting the money, Liang Qu found a cheap shop and ordered two pounds of meat, a bowl of rice, and a plate of seasonal vegetables to devour.

It's just that Yixing City is really small. After a while, the news that he caught a yellow croaker and sold it for 80 wen spread everywhere. People came everywhere to ask about the fishing location, thinking of trying their luck themselves, which was very annoying.

"You kid, where did you catch the yellow croaker? Tell me something quickly." A young man who was two or three years older than Liang Qu put his arm around Liang Qu's shoulders. While talking, his hands were not honest. He wanted to grab the fat meat on the plate, but was pulled back by a chopstick.

"Hiss, you kid, you're too cruel." The young man grinned and shook his hand.

Liang Qu was unmoved. There were only so many people of the same age in the town, and they basically knew each other. Li Libo was such a person, but they were not very familiar with each other. At least when they borrowed grain, his family did not lend it.

It's not that there is resentment. The productivity of an agricultural society is so low. Everyone works hard to make a living. No family has a good life. It's normal not to lend. On the contrary, those relatives didn't lend, and they were rude. They were really angry.

"I've told you, it's on the reed marsh three miles to the right of Shangrao Port."

"I don't believe it, you're definitely not telling the truth. I would be the same. Even if there was a place where I could catch yellow croaker, I wouldn't tell anyone. I'd keep it to myself and make a fortune."

Seeing that there was no meat to eat, Li Libo could only pour himself a pot of tea and drink it by himself. He was originally an idle person. When he heard that Liang Qu had caught a yellow croaker, he came to ask for money.

However, it was Li Libo's character that made him well-informed about some gossip. Liang Qu thought about recent events and had an idea: "I'll ask you a question. If you answer it, you'll get some meat."

Li Libo's eyes lit up: "There's such a good thing. Ask it quickly."

"How much do you know about the martial arts halls in Pingyang Town?"

Li Libo looked Liang Qu up and down and laughed: "That's right. Everyone has a dream of becoming a martial artist, but you asked the right person."

"Tell me more."

"There are three martial arts halls in Pingyang Town. The most powerful one belongs to Master Yang. This is because the other two masters are all from the wild, while Master Yang retired from the army! And I, Li Libo, will soon become Master Yang's apprentice!"

Li Libo said it was a boast rather than an answer.

"You?" Liang Qu deliberately questioned.

Li Libo really got angry and blurted out everything, which made Liang Qu suddenly realize and have some understanding of the extraordinary system of this world.

It's very simple, polish the foundation, then take a medicinal bath, polish again, take a medicinal bath again, and finally break through.

Skin, flesh, bone, blood, four small gates, all passed, you can be called a martial artist, before that you can only be a martial artist, it is said that there are realms in the future, but it is not known by ordinary people.

It is not difficult to recruit students in a martial arts school, no need to look at the root bones, just look at whether you have money!

The martial arts school of Mr. Yang is seven taels of silver without accommodation, ten taels for accommodation and meals, twenty taels for accommodation and meals and medicinal bath, which is slightly more expensive than the other two, but it is in line with the more powerful positioning.

Only seven taels of silver, not difficult, Liang Qu thought: "Then you are not..."

"Hush, don't tell anyone, in two months, my family will send me to the martial arts school." Li Libo was proud, "When I go, I will definitely be stronger than that bald Zhang, and I have practiced tricks, and I will be beaten by others."
