Chapter 19 Zhang Jiahe eats and drinks for free
"But it's the first time I've seen someone kill someone. Just spit it out. It's the first time you encounter something like this."
Seeing Fang Yue's appearance, Fang Hu didn't know that this was the first time that Fang Yue had seen murder and such a tragic scene.
The impact on him was huge.
This situation is normal. Many people behave in the same way when they see a murderer for the first time. Some even behave worse than Fang Yue.
"Uncle Fang Hu, why do those people kill people so casually?"
After a while, Fang Yue gradually recovered and asked looking at the headless corpse not far away.
"They are the army and these people are bandits. This is how the army has always suppressed bandits." Fang Hu sighed slightly.
When Fang Yue heard this, his heart couldn't help but tremble.
Months of experience and some memories in my mind came to mind.
It turns out that this world is far from what he saw and remembered. Crisis and chaos are the main themes.
For example, just now, if it weren't for Uncle Fang Hu's status as a warrior, then their car's goods would probably not be saved.
That's why he wanted to learn martial arts even more.
In this way, you can have some power to protect yourself when a crisis comes.
Thinking of this, his eyes became firm.
"Hey, let's go. You just need to remember that these people and these things are rotten to the core and have nothing to do with us."
Fang Hu did not respond to Fang Yue's questions. Instead, he led the two of them in an ox cart, passed the corpses, and continued toward the county seat.
~~~~~~
About another hour passed,
Fang Yue and others lined up to pay the entrance fee and entered Xiahe County.
This is Fang Yue's first time coming to a county town in this world.
The county town is more prosperous than expected. There are no thatched houses or adobe walls. All are yards with gray bricks and gray tiles.
The road is paved with large stones, and there are many vendors selling goods on both sides of the street.
There are all kinds of things sold, such as candied haws, dough figures, candy figures, etc.
"Dad, I want to eat candied haws and candied people."
Fang Ergou pointed to the street vendor selling candied haws and candy figures, and pulled Fang Hu's sleeve and said.
"How old are you, how can you eat candied haws and sugar candies!" Fang Hu snorted, and the latter immediately wilted and shook his head.
"Go buy some sesame cakes and remember to remember the sesame cakes every week. This is the one in Xiahe County that has the crispiest, mellowest and most fragrant sesame cakes."
Fang Hu took out ten copper coins and stuffed them into Fang Ergou's hand.
The latter took the copper coins and trotted to a shop not far away with a smile, and came back after a while holding an oil paper package.
"Brother She, try it." Fang Ergou took out a sesame pancake that was still steaming from the oil paper bag.
"Thank you."
Fang Yue took it and took a bite. It was indeed crispy and fragrant, very good.
~~~~~~
After selling the skins and animal bones from the donkey cart and purchasing some needed herbs, it was already afternoon.
Because it went smoothly today, I finished the work before it got dark.
Afterwards, Fang Hu took Fang Ergou and Fang Yue to a house in the west of the county.
This is a courtyard that looks to be quite old. The nearly one-foot-high courtyard wall makes this place very different from other surrounding courtyards.
As soon as he got close, Fang Yue heard faint shouts and shouts coming from the courtyard.
There are two stone tiger sculptures placed on both sides of the black door. The one on the left looks like a hungry tiger descending from the mountain, and the one on the right looks like a tiger roaring across the mountains and rivers.
On the dark door, there were two powerful characters written on it. Fang Yue happened to recognize these characters as Zhang Fu.
"Ergou, knock on the door."
Under Fang Hu’s instructions,
Bang bang bang, there was a knock on the door.
After a while, the shouts in the courtyard gradually died down, and the dark courtyard door opened.
Wearing smart clothes and having a strong body, a middle-aged man walked out.
When he saw Fang Hu, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically:
"Haha, let me tell you why there are magpies chirping under the eaves today. It turns out it's Junior Brother Fang here. Please come in."
"Senior Brother Zhang, I'm going to bother you again this time." Fang Hu chuckled.
This middle-aged man is Fang Hu's senior brother Zhang Baiyang. When he was learning White Tiger Boxing, he had the best relationship with this man.
But unlike him, Fang Hu, who came from a better family, and Zhang Baiyang, who came from an ordinary farmer's family, were admitted to the White Tiger Fist one after another.
Zhang Baiyang and Fang Hu are equally talented, and their martial arts advancements have always been about equals.
Later, the two participated in the martial arts examination together. Zhang Baiyang successfully passed the examination with the last score in the crane, obtained an official status, and slowly bought a property in Xiahe County.
Fang Hu, on the other hand, had lost his reputation, and his subsequent participation in the competition was not as good as the last. His family fortune was gradually lost, and he had no choice but to move back to his hometown of Daliushu Village.
However, although their status has changed, the friendship between the two has become deeper.
Over the years, there have been frequent contacts.
"Junior brother Fang came early this time. Is there something wrong? If you need help from senior brother, just ask and don't be polite." Zhang Baiyang laughed.
Fang Hu replied: "It's okay. I haven't seen Master for a long time. I came here specifically to pay a visit. By the way, I want Master to meet my incompetent disciple."
Immediately, he introduced Fang Yue to Zhang Baiyang.
"Fang Yue, if you don't call someone, you are talking about Uncle Zhang."
The reason why Fang Yue was not allowed to call Zhang Shibo like Ergou was because at this moment, Fang Yue had not really been accepted as his apprentice.
"Hello, Uncle Zhang!" Fang Yue bowed to him as if he was a junior meeting an elder.
"Haha, Junior Brother Fang is finally going to accept a disciple. To be favored by Junior Brother Fang, you must be a rare young talent. This is your first visit, and I have nothing prepared, so just give me some silver beans as a gift."
Zhang Baiyang laughed, grabbed a handful from his purse, and handed it to Fang Yue.
This was his first visit, and Zhang Baiyang only looked at Fang Yue differently because of Fang Hu.
So Fang Yue didn't dare to accept it, and could only look at Fang Hu.
"Haha, your Uncle Zhang gave it to you, just take it."
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang."
With Fang Hu's consent, Fang Yue accepted the silver beans and bowed to Zhang Baiyang again.
"Okay, Junior Brother Fang, you're here just in time. I want to discuss something with you. Let's go to the inner hall."
"Don't worry, it's not the first time Ergou has come here, let the young people play together."
Zhang Baiyang said, and pulled Fang Hu through the hall and into the inner hall.
When they left, the small door leading to the backyard next to the yard opened.
A heroic woman dressed in light green clothes, with her hair tied up, dressed like a man walked in.
"Hehe, I was wondering who this is. It turns out that you, the defeated general, came to my house to eat and drink for free!"
