Chapter 36 Free is the best

Walking through the corridor, the light became brighter.

Liang Qu looked around and found it quite nice.

The environment was quiet, with potted plants on the roadside. It was a courtyard with a small bluestone brick paved area in the middle. There were small houses side by side in the east, west, south and north. Some of the small houses had their doors open, and you could see that there were bunk beds like dormitories inside.

Xiang Changsong and Hu Qi did not bring the three of them to live here, but walked through the small house passage in the southeast and came to another large yard.

This yard was better than the previous one, with a large house in all four directions.

Xiang Changsong took out the key to open the door. After entering, there was no musty smell, it was very clean, and the quilt was neatly folded. Obviously someone had specially cleaned it.

There were neither bunk beds nor bunk beds in the room. It was a double bed distribution similar to the hotel in the previous life. The difference was that there were four beds inside, and each bed was separated by a simple screen.

Is this the ancient version of a hotel? It's pretty good, Liang Qu thought.

Li Libo looked around and saw it for the first time: "Strange, isn't this a 10-tael accommodation environment?"

Hu Qi explained: "The accommodation environment in front is 10 taels of silver. A yard can accommodate nearly 30 people. This yard is charged extra. The accommodation alone costs 8 taels a month."

"8 taels!"

The three bumpkins from Yixing City were all surprised. It turned out that the accommodation alone was more expensive than their tuition!

Hu Qi turned his head and looked at Xiang Changsong: "Xiang Junior Brother, I'll go move things first. You take the three junior brothers to get familiar with the environment."

"Okay."

When Hu Qi left, Xiang Changsong said: "No one lives in this room. You can discuss which bed you want to sleep on. Someone is responsible for cleaning it every day. They are all clean."

"Then I want the innermost one!" Liang Qu pointed to the innermost bed against the wall. He liked the bed against the wall because he felt more secure.

Chen Jiechang pointed to the side of Liang Qu: "Then I'll take this one."

Li Libo scratched his head: "I snore when I sleep, so I'll take the first one, away from you."

"There are no basic utensils in the room, such as toothbrushes, toothpaste and long cloths, so you still need to bring your own. If you want to wash clothes, there are maids every day, just give them the clothes."

Li Libo said carelessly: "There is no need to ask Senior Brother, anyway, it's just one night, we are all rough men, it doesn't matter if we wash less."

Xiang Changsong asked with a smile: "Will you not live here in the future?"

"How can I afford it? Eight taels a month, that would cost me my life!"

Liang Qu and Chen Jiechang nodded.

"It's okay for the two junior brothers, but why did you nod too, Junior Brother Liang?" Xiang Changsong laughed, "You don't need to worry, in the next two months, not only Junior Brother Liang, but also Junior Brother Li and Junior Brother Chen can live here, and we won't charge you."

"Not charging us? *2"

Li Libo and Chen Jiechang stared with their eyes wide open, incredulous.

"Of course, didn't you hear that Master Yang just expelled Lu Tingcai and the others."

"What does that have to do with us?"

"Of course it has something to do with them. They were expelled, but the money they paid could not be returned. Of course, Master Yang would not accept the reward without merit, so he would not take the money.

So if they made a mistake, the money would be used to buy rice and vegetables, and if they made a mistake like today, their money would be used to compensate the bullied people. This rule has been in place for a long time.

Although most of the seven people had a ten-liang stall, Xue Ding Yi's stall is 50 taels. Junior Brother Liang is now a direct disciple, so he doesn't need these. Naturally, they will be shared with you. After deducting the expenses they have spent for a month, each of you will have about 36 taels.

You two can't afford the stall of 50 taels, but you can afford the stall of 20 taels. Take out the food and lodging from the 20 taels, and add the remaining 16 taels, which will be enough for you to stay until you leave.

Maybe there will be some left.

Oh, if you don't want to upgrade the stall, it can also be converted into cash for you, which will be considered as compensation. "

36 taels of compensation!

Li Libo and Chen Jiechang looked at each other and swallowed their saliva.

If the 36 taels are taken back, the family's living standard can be improved by several levels!

But...

The two thought of Xiang Changsong's conversation about the law and medicine.

If there is no opportunity, they will most likely not be able to break through within three months...

Xiang Changsong and Liang Qu did not disturb the two to make a decision.

It seems that they have made a difficult ideological struggle, and Li Libo and Chen Jiechang still decided to stay.

"Thirty-six taels is an unexpected fortune. We two want to give it a try. If we succeed, we can make more money. If we fail, we won't regret it. Just treat it as if we never got it."

"Okay! People who practice martial arts should have an indomitable heart!"

At the door, Hu Qi spoke, and he was seen holding three stacked wooden barrels, each about four feet long!

There were also several people holding large basins filled with hot water behind him, and mist was surging in the cold wind.

When Hu Qi put down the large wooden barrel, everyone found that there were three sets of clothes and three small barrels filled with liquid medicine in the barrel, which were steaming.

The few people who followed Hu Qi in began to mix the liquid medicine with hot water and poured it into the three large bathtubs that Hu Qi brought over.

The three people watched curiously: "Is this a medicinal bath?"

Hu Qi nodded: "Yes, but it is not a medicinal bath to enhance qi and blood. It is used to heal your injuries. It can activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Come twice, and today's injuries will be healed in two or three days.

There are also clothes for changing, which may not fit, but I will wear them as my personal compensation. After all, it is because of me that you have this experience. If I were here, they would never dare to be so presumptuous. "

"Brother Hu, you don't have to say that. We have always remembered your kindness in our hearts."

Liang Qu and the other two were very moved.

Li Libo noticed something unusual: "Brother Xiang, you just said that Xue Dingyi's stall is fifty taels?"

"Yes, his family is a wealthy businessman, so he can afford the price. What's wrong?"

"Lu Tingcai and his family have a stall of ten taels, so I think their family is not too rich. We can understand that they come to blackmail, but why did Xue Dingyi come too? He can pay fifty taels, so his family can afford these two taels, right?"

Everyone didn't understand for a while.

"Maybe... some people are born bad? ”

After struggling for a long time, everyone could only come to this conclusion.

“Okay, it’s getting late. It’s cold now. It’s uncomfortable to have cold water. It’s easy to catch a cold. I’ll ask someone to bring some hot water. You three can go to bed early after taking the medicinal bath. Just dry yourself. No need to rinse yourself off.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother Hu, Senior Brother Xiang!”

The two senior brothers left, and the room soon became quiet.

The three looked at each other in surprise.

The whole room suddenly burst into hearty laughter, almost shaking off the tiles on the roof.

They laughed until they couldn’t breathe and their wounds hurt, then they stopped, took off their clothes at the same time, and jumped into the wooden barrel.

The sound of water.

The wound was stimulated by the hot water, causing more intense pain, but soon the pain was dispelled by the comfort of soaking in warm water.

The three people soaked in the water, with their heads against the edge of the barrel. The comfort was transmitted from the coccyx to the cartilage in the throat, and they trembled out.

“Huh~~~~”
