Chapter 155 Shanghe County Town
After his mother was buried, Zou Yunhua came to Qin Feng.
"Thank you."
At this time, Zou Yunhua's face looked a little pale, but her eyes were filled with endless gratitude.
Qin Feng looked up at the originally sloppy deadbeat in front of him, and felt a little incredible.
This guy was obviously careless a few days ago, but in just a few days, there has been such a big change.
"It's not worth mentioning."
Qin Feng stood up and said.
Then, Zou Yunhua began to say, "Actually, most of the money you made me win in the gambling stone shop that day was used by me to pay off my debts."
"Repay the debt?"
Qin Feng asked, "Is it a loan shark?"
However, Zou Yunhua shook her head: "I have never had a father since I was a child, and I have to rely on my mother to pull me up alone. Because she had an accident at birth, she was never weak and could not do heavy work at all. She could only rely on huge amounts of manual work to barely maintain her family life."
"But as long as I get sick, my mother will borrow money to treat me. But my family can't afford to pay the debt, so my mother can only use the method of tearing down the east and repairing the west. Now I have finally grown up, but my mother has become ill. After I was sixteen years old, I started working outside to pay off my debts for my family. However, according to the regulations of Dabei City, we poor people can only do some rough work and have to pay high taxes, so we can't save money, and even the interest on the debt is not paid."
"And a month ago, my mother's condition suddenly worsened. At that time, I had no money and had a lot of foreign debts, so I planned to go to the gambling stone shop to make a desperate bet. But my luck forced me to a dead end..." His tone seemed to be a little self-deprecating, "Those debts were finally repaid thanks to you, my brother."
He seemed to have a little choked when he said this.
Qin Feng looked at him and nodded thoughtfully.
Then, Qin Feng asked again: "But why don't you take this money to see your mother first?"
But what responded to Qin Feng was Zou Yunhua's shaking her head and sighing.
"I thought so at the time, but unfortunately it was too late. After I went back that day, I invited all the doctors I could get, but each doctor was helpless about my mother's condition."
As he said this, he sighed with gaze.
If I could meet Qin Feng a few days earlier, maybe everything would be different.
Qin Feng looked at him, but couldn't say anything.
This may be what is called fate.
"But since the rules of this Dabei City are so unfair, why don't you leave?" Qin Feng asked again.
Zou Yunhua smiled bitterly and said, "Leave? Where can I go? When I was very young, my mother thought about taking me to another city, but my mother could not afford the expenses needed to move to the place of residence at that time. Even if people get there, they can only become black households and will be expelled soon. If I don't go to other cities and go to the mountains, with my mother's long-standing physical condition, it will be even more dead."
Seeing him mentioning these injustices of fate so lamentably, Qin Feng was speechless for a moment.
Then, Qin Feng finally sighed.
"What do you plan to do afterwards?"
Qin Feng asked.
Zou Yunhua replied: "After the mourning is over, I want to join the army. At least I will not be too unfair to live until I die."
Listening to Zou Yunhua's answer, Qin Feng felt mixed feelings.
Those who dislike, hate Zou Yunhua, call him a broom star, or laugh at him, all have to live without being motivated.
However, Zou Yunhua, who was disliked, hated, insulted and even ridiculed by them, had a decision that was nobler than anyone else.
"Okay, let's just leave."
After Qin Feng walked to the present and visited him for a while, he said this to Zou Yunhua.
After the words came, he and Tan Changlong and Jin Taiping walked towards the Dabeicheng Station.
After the three arrived at the inn, Jin Taiping rented three good horses, and then the three set off together and rushed towards the county town of Shanghe County.
Along the way, there is basically an official road connected, so the entire itinerary is unimpeded.
As Kim Tae-ping had expected, at noon on the third day after departure, several people arrived at the county town of Shanghe County.
Because Kim Tae-ping had a special command arrow, the three of them were also exempted from the cost of entering the city and walked straight into the city.
I have to say that this county town is still a county town, and Dabei City is like a small land in a remote area.
At this time, Qin Feng was in the city of Shanghe County, and he truly realized the prosperity that Chu State should have.
Looking around, the streets and alleys were filled with traffic and people were constantly passing by. As soon as I entered the city, I could hear the continuous hawking and shouting on both sides of the road.
This kind of prosperity even surpasses Tianyun City a lot.
And after traveling through several streets, Qin Feng could see the magnificent pavilions, palaces and buildings in the distance, almost like two different countries from the depressed Dabei City.
"This way."
After entering the city, Kim Tae-ping kept guiding the road ahead.
Even though the road under his feet is quite wide and can even accommodate four carriages passing by side, because pedestrians are constantly walking, the three of them can only choose to dismount and lead the horse forward.
After about half an hour's trip, the three of them passed by the downtown area and finally got to get on the horse and walk faster.
Then, after walking through the street, about half an hour later, several people finally arrived outside a large area of connected houses.
Outside this large mansion, there is a circle of three or four meters high walls covering it, as if another small city was encircled in this huge Shanghe County city.
When the three of them came outside the gate of the entrance of the house, Qin Feng looked up and saw a plaque that was exactly the size of the gate.
There are two big characters written on it in vigorous and powerful brushwork.
Jin Mansion.
This plaque is almost made of pure gold, and is inlaid with various colors of gems on all sides and has many exquisite carvings. The plaque alone shows the luxury of this mansion.
"here it is?"
Qin Feng asked.
At this time, Jin Taiping had already stepped off the horse and signaled that Qin Feng and the others would also dismount.
Then, Kim Tae-ping said: "This is the Yuanyang Chamber of Commerce's family, that is, the family behind me, the residence of the Jin family."
Qin Feng looked at the mansion in front of him, but he was a little surprised.
Qin Feng really couldn't imagine how profound the family that controlled such a large chamber of commerce had.
Then without stopping for a long time, the three of them let the horses go and walked into the gate of the Jin Mansion together.
Immediately under the guidance of Jin Taiping, Qin Feng and the others also walked through the Jin Mansion, and they often saw many servants passing by.
Although the Jin family is not much different from the Tianyun Martial Arts Mansion, it is not much worse.
In the end, the few people came outside a pavilion.
"Seventh Head, who are these two?"
At this time, one of the two guards in charge of the door guard took them forward and asked Kim Tae-ping.
Kim Tae-ping immediately said, "These are two distinguished guests, let them come with me."
"yes."
That was to get the answer, so I didn't ask too much and retreated.
However, when Qin Feng and the others passed by the two guards, the latter two couldn't help but look at the first two, constantly wondering which distinguished guests these two simple-dressed young men were.
After passing the first floor of the attic, a few people climbed the stairs and arrived at the second floor of the attic.
There are three sides of windows around here, and the other wall is inlaid with a fireplace-like magic weapon, which makes the building look quite warm on such a winter day.
At this time, a middle-aged man was standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back.
"Brother, I'll bring the person there."
After getting to the attic, Kim Tae-ping immediately spoke.
When the middle-aged man who had not noticed the arrival of the three of them immediately turned around when he heard the sound, his face, which was originally covered with sorrow, suddenly stretched a lot.
"Lao Qi, you are back!"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man came over and hugged Kim Tae-ping excitedly.
Then, after he took two steps back, he looked at Qin Feng and the others.
"Which of these two is the genius Master Xiangshi you mentioned in your letter?" Without mentioning anything else, this is what the middle-aged man said first.
Jin Taiping introduced Qin Feng and Tan Changlong to the middle-aged man respectively.
"This young man named Feng Qing is the genius Master Xiangshi mentioned in my letter. However, the letter was hasty and there was no time to explain what kind of magical power he had." Kim Tae-ping said.
And the middle-aged man asked slightly anxiously: "Tell me quickly."
But at this moment, Kim Tae-ping smiled and said, "Brother, you should let the two guests sit down first."
The middle-aged man immediately patted the back of his head and smiled, "That's right, right, I'm really overexcited."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man personally invited Qin Feng and Tan Changlong to attend the seat.
During the subsequent simple conversation, Qin Feng also learned that the middle-aged man was the president of the Yuanyang Chamber of Commerce, and also the head of the Jin family, Jin Taixuan.
On the other hand, Jin Taiping also explained to Jin Taixuan what he saw about the magical stone method that Qin Feng showed on that day.
Moreover, just after Qin Feng had already agreed to Kim Tae-ping, he accidentally revealed a flaw, which made Kim Tae-ping even more convinced that he was really a very rare genius in the Stone.
When he left the gambling stone shop that day, Qin Feng clearly did not see the two stones being opened. However, when he saw Zou Yunhua the day before yesterday, he immediately realized that Zou Yunhua had obtained a total of twenty spirit stones at that time, and that was the case.
However, Kim Tae-ping did not mention this matter, but made Qin Feng notice it intentionally or unintentionally, that he had discovered this flaw.
"So, it's time to talk about your situation."
