Chapter 17: Granting Arrows
Gangs are of all kinds, and it is reasonable that there will be no threshold for entry. However, in such a large city, the masters have to take the lion's share, and the rest will be the turn of the gang forces, all kinds of people.
If there are too many people, what can they use to support the subordinates?
Therefore, even if they enter the door, they are afraid that they will never return.
Lu Changsheng made up his mind to find Liang Hu, so he asked Wang Heihou to go to the street to buy a small bag of steamed buns.
"Why buy so many steamed buns?"
"If you ask someone to do something, you will naturally have to pay a little!" Lu Changsheng said.
"That guy may not be interested in these!" Wang Heihou said.
Lu Changsheng intends to bring Wang Heihou with him, so that he can be independent in the future.
Li Nangua has a soft personality, and Niu Dazhuang is stubborn, neither of them is suitable for this.
"Since Liang Hu lives in this pedestrian street, it means that his financial situation is not very good!"
"I always feel that it is not like that!" Wang Heihou recalled the various things he had seen Liang Hu, and felt that he was more or less a big shot, and he would definitely not look down on these things.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the place Niu Dazhuang said, he was immediately very convinced by Lu Changsheng.
Although the place where Liang Hu lived was in a good location, it was just a two-wing courtyard.
"Who are you looking for?"
"We are looking for Lord Liang Hu!"
In front of the door, a woman with simple clothes but a plump figure frowned and looked at the two of them.
After Lu Changsheng handed her a bag of steamed buns, she was relieved a little.
However, she did not take it.
"You've got the wrong person. There's no Liang Hu here, only Zhao Hu!"
Lu Changsheng was slightly stunned, and glanced at Wang Heihou next to him. Seeing that he didn't look strange, he said, "That's Lord Zhao Hu!"
The woman looked at the two carefully, and seemed to think that children of this age were not threatening. Then she took the steamed bun and led the two inside.
"Why not yet--" Liang Hu was in the wing room on the left. He was wearing thin clothes. Hearing the footsteps, he subconsciously showed a hint of impatience. Unexpectedly, he saw Lu Changsheng and Wang Heihou.
Suddenly, the words that were about to come to his mouth were swallowed again.
"I'll go back first!"
The woman's face was a little gloomy. She put the things on the table and turned to walk out.
After the people left, Liang Hu looked at Lu Changsheng with an unhappy face.
He didn't ask how the two came.
The area of the Xingjiao Inn is not big. If you walk around a few more times, you may find it.
"It's not easy to find a job. Wait for a while. I'll tell you when I find one!" Liang Hu said.
Lu Changsheng saw that Liang Hu didn't care much about it. Maybe he figured it out after coming back, or maybe he just wanted to give up. However, he didn't come here for this reason.
"Forget about the job. I was reckless before. I didn't come here to urge Lord Liang Hu. I just wanted to find out something!"
Liang Hu showed a trace of astonishment on his face.
Finding a job is something everyone wants. What's wrong with this kid in front of him? He actually gave up this idea?
He did not answer directly, but said: "Tell me what you have to say!"
"I want to find the student of the teacher last time and continue to learn to read and recognize characters! I wonder if Lord Liang Hu can give me some advice!"
Liang Hu hesitated for a while and said: "It's possible, but you must remember what you can't say and what you can't do! You must know that this is not the time to be in the teacher's former residence!"
The latter sentence is a warning.
"Don't worry, I know the severity of the matter!"
Lu Changsheng knew that the other party was worried that he would contact the gentleman that day and let this matter spread, so he promised.
······
The next day, Lu Changsheng did not call other people and went directly to the Xingjiao Inn.
"Are you renting for a long time or a short time? Do you want to drink or eat?"
The inn servant came up to greet him.
As the weather got colder, fewer people came and went in the city. Those with some money went to the city, which was prosperous and crowded, and convenient for doing anything. Unlike here, if there was anything, they had to go into the city early in the morning.
"I'm here to look for someone!"
Lu Changsheng hesitated for a moment, but still took out a copper coin and handed it over.
The servant smiled and asked Lu Changsheng who he was looking for, then turned around and took him in.
The room was small, and the middle-aged man was holding a yellowed book and reading by the window.
Hearing the footsteps, he turned around quickly, and when he saw Lu Changsheng's face, he was slightly stunned, thinking that the previous things had been exposed, and the whole person became a little nervous.
However, when Lu Changsheng stated his purpose, Ma Xun was relieved.
"I can teach you to read and write, but I want 10 at a time - um, 5 copper coins!"
Lu Changsheng frowned slightly. 5 copper coins were not expensive, but they didn't have many copper coins now. They had to eat and drink on weekdays, so they would save as much as possible.
"The price the teacher said was different from what my uncle Zhao said! I'm going to ask Uncle Zhao if he remembered it wrong!"
After saying that, he was about to go back.
"Wait! 2 copper coins! Only two copper coins! However, I also have to study my homework on weekdays, so each time I go there to teach, the maximum time is only one hour!"
"Okay!"
One hour is almost enough.
Lu Changsheng left with satisfaction.
When he arrived at the door of the inn, he suddenly remembered something and asked the innkeeper about the purchase of bows and arrows.
The servant still remembered Lu Changsheng's copper coins, so he pointed them out subconsciously.
After Lu Changsheng left, he realized that the boy had bought two pieces of information for one piece of money, and he couldn't help but feel a little sorry that he had earned one less copper coin.
······
Seeing that it was still early, Lu Changsheng entered the city and bought an iron bow and a bamboo arrow.
A total of 80 copper coins were spent.
"This money is spent so fast!"
Before leaving, he and others took a lot of money.
This money will be temporarily recorded in the account, and it will definitely be returned when it makes money.
"It's only because Wang Heihou and the others don't have any thoughts. If they have serious thoughts, I'm afraid they won't be able to go far!"
Originally, he wanted to buy something to cover the bow and arrow, but thinking that everyone's money had been spent, there was no need to waste it here, so he took off his coat, wrapped up the bow and arrow, and left the city trembling.
"This place is prosperous, there must be a place for me!"
Before leaving the city gate, he looked back at the rows of eaves and houses, white courtyards and red walls, and thought to himself.
······
The bow and arrow that Lu Changsheng bought did not make the three people dissatisfied. Instead, they picked them up and touched them here and there as if they saw a new toy.
They also knew that Lu Changsheng had learned archery from the village's big liar Zhang Cun for a period of time, but--
"Can this really work? Zhang Cun has been in the capital for so long, if it was so easy, he wouldn't have become like this!" Wang Heihou looked at Lu Changsheng with suspicion.
"Give it a try!" Lu Changsheng said.
Buying bows and arrows is not just for practicing one's own archery skills, the most important thing is that Lu Changsheng wants to open up the source for everyone.
Therefore, it was decided to teach archery!
