I used early tea in front of the snack stall on the street. Deng Fan couldn't help but frowned when he looked at the rising sun.

These days, he only cares about practicing every day, and his coffin shop is open for a day or not. Even the county government has not been there for more than ten days. This is not enough.

If this continues, it will probably not take long to make a living. After all, whether it is corpse refining or practicing the Five Poison Stump, it not only takes time, but also massive resource support, which is absolutely indispensable.

Practice is never achieved by a thatched house, covered with a torn cloak, and squatting into the deep mountains and forests. Nothing can be generated out of thin air. Practice is to strengthen the three treasures of the human body, but the substances that the human body can provide are all supplements from outside. If it can be generated out of thin air, then it is not called practice, it must be called immortals.

......

Outside the walls of Nujiao County, there were countless shacks surrounded by thatched grass, bustling figures of ragged clothes were coming in and out.

The turbid air is filled with the smell of feces and all kinds of unpleasant smells.

This kind of place is even worse than the beggar's nest in Nujiao County. At least the beggar's nest that Deng Fan had stayed in before did not have such a mess.

However, he is used to this kind of scene, and it is not uncommon in this era.

The refugees who gathered here were the ones who fled from other places. The reason why they were not beggars was because these people did not even have the qualifications to go to the city to beg.

Even beggars have to pay attention to qualifications. In ancient society, those who had no way to move out of their hometown were all refugees. Not to mention begging in the county town, and the government did not send troops to drive them away, that is the reason why the world is mixed and the court has no time to take care of itself.

If it were a normal dynasty, the people would never be allowed to flee without permission. Even if they were in trouble, they would have to wait for disaster relief from the court in the local county town.

The reason why Deng Fan came here was just to find an apprentice to guard the coffin shop for him.

However, in this kind of "snatching the wrongdoer" business, one must be a person with a very strong destiny. In this world where ghosts and monsters show their holy status, this is not a joke. If one has a weak destiny, he will definitely not be able to withstand the impact of the evil evil.

The reason why he came here to choose was that there was no way. Not to mention that normal children were unwilling to do this job, even beggars in the county town would probably avoid such "work" that deal with dead bodies.

There are only these homeless refugees who are hanging on the front line, and they don’t have that many concerns. They are willing to do anything as long as they are given a bite of food.

But Deng Fan was not accepted by everyone. What he wanted to choose not only requires a consistent fate, but also a calm personality, and not too old.

Those who are too old and have too wild minds. Although Deng Fan is not afraid, he can save trouble.

"Young master... do you want a maid? Look at my girl, her face is marked, and it only takes ten kilograms of corn..."

"...My girl is so...just five kilograms..."

"Young master... my boy is so naughty... you can beat and scold him... Just give him a full meal..."

As Deng Fan walked along the way, countless refugees who were carrying their children looked at him with longing, with their eyes wide open, with numbness, desire and begging.

But Deng Fan was indifferent from beginning to end and was not moved at all. A maid with a sign of it would be his turn. With his current living conditions, ordinary families still want to raise a beautiful daughter, which is dreaming, unless there is a genetic mutation.

Even if it is really a sign, it has been adopted by wealthy families. This has been the case since ancient times. When wealthy families choose maids and slaves, the first choice is to be healthy, and then look, especially maids, whose appearance is good and bad, are even divided into different levels.

No matter what era, beautiful women are always scarce resources. Even if they don’t need them, they can be used to win over others or even bribe them.

Every time the envoys from foreign countries pay tribute, they not only bring gold, silver and treasures, but also bring beauties from the vassal states. Even if the emperor is like this, it is not necessary to say that the officials of the lower class are.

"May I have your name..."

When he walked to the end of the shack, Deng Fan suddenly saw an old woman standing in front of him with a figure of more than five feet.

This person has a pretty figure, but his face is mature. He is said to be an adult, but his fur has not faded away. He is said to be a teenager, but his face is comparable to that of a forty-year-old.

"Are you calling me?"

"My name is Gedan..."

He looked up at Deng Fan with some curiosity, and a trace of surprise flashed in the boy's eyes.

Since he was born, it has been because of this face. After all, his parents, relatives and friends dislike him. Even children of the same age have always despised him. Since childhood, no peers have ever spoken to him.

"Ahem..."

"Young Master, this is a boy from my village. Although he looks a little older, he is kind-hearted. If the young master likes him, it will be his blessing..."

"Oh...you're not his elder?"

Originally, when he saw Gedan feeding the old woman water, Deng Fan thought they were a family, but unexpectedly they were neighbors.

"We escaped from the famine in the same village. Goudan has been in a miserable life since childhood, but he is quite precocious, which means he has a bad life, otherwise...ah..."

Speaking of this, the old woman sighed slowly.

"What year did you have on your birthday..."

Deng Fan came here to recruit apprentices, but he had no intention of listening to other people's past. If this kudzu egg meets the requirements, he wouldn't mind pulling him.

As for whether it is successful, it depends entirely on the will of God. It is not that he does not want to be kind, but in such an era, if he does not have enough capital, being kind is like seeking death. After so many years of experience, Deng Fan knows the truth behind it.

"Born in the year of Gengchen..."

Although he didn't understand what Deng Fan meant, Ge Dan was silent for a moment and reported his birthday.

"Born in the Chou period of Gengchen...The symptoms of premature aging are ok, well, it's also qualified, it's all you..."

After calculating the boy's birthday by fingers, Deng Fan also found that this boy's fate was premature, but his face was still not weak, which was also a strange fate.

"To be honest, I am the shopkeeper of a coffin shop in this county. I want to accept you as an apprentice, but I don't know if you are willing!"

“Coffin Shop…”

The boy did not show any obvious signs. The old woman next to him heard that she was a coffin shop, and her eyes were obviously hesitant, but it was not very obvious.

"I'm willing to go..."

After a while of silence, thinking of the experiences over the years, Ge Dan nodded solemnly, his eyes full of determination.

"Very good...but since you want to be my apprentice, the name Gedan cannot be used anymore. This name is too thin and cannot suppress your fate. In this way, I will give you another big name."

"Ge Changsheng...No, this name is too heavy, you can't stand it..."

Regardless of whether Ge Dan was against it or not, Deng Fan frowned and thought hard: "Ge Changshou, just right, you will be called Changshou in the future. This name matches your face, just right..."

As he said that, Deng Fan left a few bronzes for me and took Ge Changshou toward the county gate.

It’s not that he is stingy and unwilling to give more, but that he is mixed with fish and dragons in this refugee slum. If he gives too much, it will kill the old woman’s life.

After all, there have always been many things that "every man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure" in this era.
