Mirror of the Sky

On the square table in front of Zhang Huansheng, sat three middle-aged men of different looks, all wearing brocade cotton shirts.

A man with a face full of flesh and a sturdy aura, his face seems to be wearing a mask all the time, full of smiles;

A sharp-mouthed monkey with a thin beard on his chin, his face full of shrewdness, his eyes are always slightly narrowed;

One is not tall, but has broad shoulders and a strong body, and looks arrogant. He drank the wine in the glass non-stop, but the more he drank, the brighter and brighter his eyes were, emitting an attractive ray of light.

After listening to Zhang Yusheng's words, two of the three people didn't say a word, but the sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked man said slowly, "It is very dangerous to make a living by sea.

Since you were adopted by Tzu Chi Tang, you have some ideas about your family background. It shouldn't be difficult to find a job safely, so why take the risk? "

"I am an orphan who has no father, no mother, and no clan to rely on. What can I say about my family background?" Zhang Huansheng said with a sad expression on his face, "I was able to enter the Tzu Chi Hall when I was able to enter the Tzu Chi Hall. Relying on the old father who was a soldier and a pawn, a little credit for saving the officer's death in battle.

Now that more than ten years have passed, the human feelings have long since dispersed, and who will stand up for me.

Besides, I'm really not reconciled to just looking for a job so casually, and I've lived a mediocre life.

Although this sea trade is dangerous and hard work, it makes a lot of money and has a bright future. In the future, I also want to be like a few shopkeepers, wearing silk and satin, and living a beautiful life. "

As he spoke, his eyes became brighter and his tone became gradually excited, as if his wish had come true, but in the end he was terrified like waking up from a dream, his voice became smaller, and he muttered: "This glorious Wealth and honor are of course things in the future, and now I only want to be taken in by the shopkeepers, work hard, and work hard..."

"Hehehehe... boy, don't worry, none of us are such fake hypocrites." Hearing this, the sharp-mouthed monkey-gill man smiled gloomily, waved his hand and said, "Everyone thinks about this good day. However, if you are motivated, I am also willing to fulfill.

In fact, we have almost recruited this guy, but you are not inferior to you. It is just that the goods we are going to transport to Xizhou this time should not be stored for a long time. I am afraid that we will leave early tomorrow morning, and even the first month will be at sea. Would you like to? "

"Yes, yes, I am alone. The Spring Festival and the first month are actually the same as usual. It's not very interesting. I will leave tomorrow morning." Zhang Yuansheng said in surprise.

"If that's the case, then don't go back to the Tzu Chi Hall tonight, stay at this inn, and go to the pier in Donggang with us tomorrow morning, so as not to miss the time." The man with the sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks smiled and said, "This is a barbaric and savage place. There are many dangers at sea. In order to suppress evil spirits, people who travel the sea generally do not use their real names, but use some imposing nicknames and evil names.

My nickname is Drilling Sea Crocodile, and I am the third shopkeeper in the business." He pointed to the smiling man with a face full of flesh on the opposite side, "He is the second shopkeeper of the business, and his alias is Laughing Shark." , and then bowed his hands to the heroic dwarf who was sitting at the top: "This is the big shopkeeper in our business, and the big boss, Jiao in the waves.

You remember it well. "

"Yes, yes," Zhang Huansheng bowed and saluted respectfully when he heard the words: "Drilling crocodile, smiling shark, and Jiao in the waves, the boy wrote it down."

"Just write it down." Wednesday and Thursday nodded with satisfaction, took out two silver beads from his sleeve, and threw them, "I'll reward you.

The people at sea are wandering, and tomorrow you will get on the boat and you will not be able to return to Nanyang. Tonight, the streets are lively, so go have a good time and go back to the inn before midnight. "

"Many thanks to the third shopkeeper, thank you to the third shopkeeper..." Zhang Huansheng took the silver beads, his mouth grinned almost to the bottom of his ears, he said repeatedly, and withdrew happily.

Looking at his disappearing back, the smiling shark suddenly lowered his voice and said in a buzzing voice, "You are kind, youngest. You are already a turtle in a urn, a fish in a urn, and you still have to spend money to bait."

Hearing this, the crocodile sighed, and said softly with a sympathetic look: "There are only two silver beads left and right. This child has lost both his parents since he was a child. I haven’t tasted it yet, and today I will make him happy for one night, and it’s not worth walking in this world.”

"You're really a **** again, and you're setting up an archway." Hearing this, Laughing Shark pouted and muttered in disdain, and stopped talking. At this time, Langlijiao on the side slowly put down his wine glass. He said in a low voice, "Young San, don't take it lightly this time.

This kid was born in a Tzu Chi church, and his father was a sergeant who died in battle. If he cheated, he wouldn't be in any trouble. "

It's completely different from the casual laughing attitude towards the smiling shark. Hearing Jiao's words in the waves, the sea-dwelling crocodile's face turned a whole lot~www.wuxiahere.com~ and said seriously: "Brother, don't worry, that kid is wearing coarse clothes, just now While talking, he kept staring at the meat and vegetables on our table, and his hands were full of calluses. It was obvious that life had been extremely hard. No matter how you entered the Tzu Chi Hall, the favor will surely be gone as he said. .

Even if a hundred orphans die like this, there will be no trouble. As long as one or two years pass, no one will remember them. "

"It's good for you to know." Hearing this explanation, Lang Lijiao nodded relievedly, picked up the wine glass again, and started drinking. At this time, Zhang Huansheng had already hurriedly turned into a narrow alley in the west of Nanyang City. among.

Taking advantage of the light of the flickering lanterns on both sides of the alley, he walked for dozens of steps. He stopped in front of a teahouse with only two floors up and down, and the signboard said 'Ming Ming Xiang'. He patted the paulownia gate with his hand, and shouted loudly. Said: "Dong Lingzhi and Jing Jingyun don't care who they are, quickly open the door, I'm here."

Not long after the voice fell, the wooden door was opened, and a slender, tall, and delicate facial features, but the eyebrows like a sword, the towering nose bridge, a little less tenderness, a little more heroic girl stuck her head out, Pushing on Zhang Huansheng, he said in a cold voice, "You are here, you are here, and you don't even give a name. You think you are the Nanyang County Governor or a garrison general. Don't everyone recognize him."

"Quan Jingyun, today is the Chinese New Year. I won't argue with you, so don't provoke me." Zhang Yuansheng waved his hand vigorously, without retaliating. The tea table, which turned into a large square table, was already filled with fragrant dishes, and a shallow smile appeared on his face, and he took a long breath.

Seeing him enter the door, a petite and lovely girl with picturesque eyes beside him asked with concern, "Sure, it's spring today, why are you here so late, are you having another headache?"
