Chapter 10 The Storm
Since midnight last night, there has been a torrential rain in the sky. The howling wind crossed the pine forest outside Songtao Pavilion, making howls of ghosts and wolves.
Zhang Tie got up early the next morning and walked out of the Songtao Pavilion. The wind and rain outside did not seem to be a little bit worse, it seemed to be getting bigger. The bean-sized raindrops came with the strong wind, and it felt a little painful to hit the body. Some of the trees in Lingtian courtyard were blown off, and more trees were bended by the strong wind, doing hard resistance.
This storm had been foreshadowed yesterday evening, but Zhang Tie did not expect it to be so violent.
After finishing his breakfast, Zhang Tie put on a poncho, braved the wind and rain, and came to Changfeng Zhuchang.
On the sea surface of Zhuchang, there were violent waves, and the huge waves more than ten meters high hit the reefs and cliffs by the sea, making a loud noise, and the whole world seemed to tremble in the anger of the sea.
When he came to the beach, Zhang Tie completely felt like a kite about to be blown away by the strong wind. The water splashed by the huge waves below the Changfeng Zhuchang Castle floated tens of meters into the air and was blown by the strong wind and landed on Zhang Tie's face. Zhang Tie could feel a salty smell in the rain.
As soon as he entered the castle, Zhang Tie saw Lao Chen.
"Come in quickly, it's raining heavily outside!" Lao Chen waved to Zhang Tie at the door of a room on the first floor of the castle, and Zhang Tie hurried over.
When Zhang Tie walked to the door of the room, Lao Chen sized Zhang Tie up with longing eyes. Zhang Tie patted the underside of the rain cape and nodded to Lao Chen. Lao Chen laughed and pulled Zhang Tie away. into the room.
As soon as he entered the room, several men in the room who were smoking here looked at Zhang Tie at once.
Zhang Tie also knew these people, they were the patrolling Yakshas from Changfeng Zhuchang. The youngest of these people was in his forties, and the oldest was in his sixties.
"These old fellows are like me, running around on the water all the year round. As they get older, arthritis and rheumatism come on, especially those who are dry patrolling Yaksha. You will suffer when the sky changes! These old guys didn’t sleep well last night.” Lao Chen explained to Zhang Tie, “These old guys heard me talk about the magic of the thing you made, and they couldn’t sleep well today. Can’t wait to try it out!”
"Okay!" Zhang Tie nodded, "It's just that I don't bring much with me today, except for your bottle. I only have one bottle with me!"
"It's okay, take out my bottle for everyone to try and see if it's really effective!" Old Chen said generously.
After hanging up the poncho, Zhang Tie took out the water jug and wine jug he was carrying, and Lao Chen found some wine glasses. According to the amount they drank yesterday, each person poured a small cup of about 100 milliliters of the special solution.
There was just enough content in Zhang Tie's aluminum marching kettle to pour a glass for each of the five people in the room.
When pouring things down. The few people in the room had already gathered around. Looking at the golden color with a light green luster, and the concentration seems to be higher than that of water, everyone's eyes widened.
"Ah, what kind of smell is this, it smells so good!"
Not only is the color pleasing to the eye, but the smell of the solution brought by Zhang Tie makes people feel refreshed after smelling it. Salivating.
As soon as the thing was poured, several people in the room carefully picked up the cups, and one by one couldn't wait to drink the contents of the cups. Then sat quietly in the room, quietly experiencing the feeling of that thing spreading out of his body.
They all drink this thing as medicine. It's just that they didn't expect the taste of this thing to be thousands of times better than all the medicines they had drunk, so everyone was a little surprised.
Old Chen also drank a cup. After drinking, Lao Chen carefully swirled water in his cup, and then drank all the water.
"The wind and waves are too strong today, the bead field is no longer fishing, you can rest for a day!"
When everyone was waiting for the effect of that thing to start to play, Lao Chen said to Zhang Tie.
"Then does my family contribution point count today?" Zhang Tie asked.
"Of course!"
Zhang Tie breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he persisted here for a few more weeks, he would be able to collect enough family contribution points for all the compulsory subjects of cultivation. Each of those compulsory subjects of cultivation required seven family contribution points. ten.
——Basic footwork, basic swordsmanship, shield defense, elementary archery, vertical lifting, and riding add up to 420 family contribution points, and his weekly family contribution points here are 60 , Zhang Tie intends to work here for two months, nine weeks, and after saving 540 family contribution points, he will practice these basic subjects.
Zhang Tie didn't forget that person's weird movements when he fought against Zhang Qinguo.
**, Chu Wenqiang, and Yang Yuankang also arrived at this time. When they came to the room, they looked at Zhang Tie's empty kettle. They were a little disappointed, but they looked at the people in the room who were waiting for the effect of the solution. The way he played, he became curious again.
Only Lao Chen drank Zhang Tie's solution yesterday, so it's hard to say whether Lao Chen's illness was caused by the solution, but at this moment, all five people in the room drank it. If so, that's really amazing.
It was stormy outside, and there was nothing to do today, so a few people were bragging and chatting in the room to pass the time.
An hour passed quickly...
...
"Ah, I seem to feel it, a warm feeling is starting to emanate from my body..." a Yaksha patrolling the sea in the bead field cried out.
...
"I felt it too. It was still hurting just now, but now it's gone!"
...
"Ah, me too. Before I drank that thing, my shoulders and back felt like being clamped by pliers, but now I'm slowly relaxing..."
...
"My knees are also much better, it's amazing, it's really just like what Old Chen said!"
The room boiled up, and the patrolling Yaksha looked at Lao Chen's little jug one by one.
Chu Wenqiang and the others looked at Zhang Tie in a little shock. It turned out that the things Zhang Tie made could really cure diseases, and they seemed to be very effective. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, how many people wouldn't believe it at all? How many years have the Yaksha patrolling the sea been cured of a disease, and drinking a small cup of that thing will immediately take effect?
What's going on here? the same thing. It can be used to cure diseases when used on patients, but yesterday a few of us drank it and felt very energetic and physically strong. What is so magical? The way Chu Wenqiang and the others looked at Zhang Tie changed slightly.
"Old Chen, come on, give me some more!" A 50-year-old patrolling Yaksha said with a shy face.
Upon hearing this, Lao Chen put away his small wine pot like a thief, "No more, you have already drunk what Zhang Tie brought, I have to keep this small wine pot." Use it yourself!"
Several Yaksha patrols glanced at each other. Then he focused his attention on Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie also spread his hands, "That's all I brought today!"
"Do you still have this thing?"
"There is a little more where I live, but not much!"
"Can... can you sell us a little?" The sea patrolling Yasha originally wanted to say give it away, but he felt that it was difficult to ask for Zhang Tie's things for nothing, so he said buy it.
"Haha. It's not the first time that my brothers and I have met. Talking about money hurts our feelings. Each of these brothers will find a bottle that can hold things. I will give each of them a bottle!"
Unexpectedly, the thing he made would really have a market, and it would be so effective in curing diseases, Zhang Tie was overjoyed. The experience in the grocery store made Zhang Tie understand what word-of-mouth is. He still has to wait for these people to promote himself, so he became generous.
"Zhang Tie... can that thing of yours..." Chu Wenqiang scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Hehe, I live in Room 7, Xuanzi, Songtao Pavilion. When you go back, bring a bottle to me, and I will give each of you a bottle!" Zhang Tie said generously.
The three of Chu Wenqiang laughed, Zhang Tie's thing was really impressive.
at this time. The girls from Zhixingyuan came.
In the past, because Zhang Tie came earlier than them and stayed in the sea all day, these girls never saw Zhang Tie appear in the Changfeng Bead Field, let alone know that Zhang Tie was a Yasha patrolling the sea.
When I came to the bead field today, the girls were told that it would be dangerous for them to go into the water because of the strong wind and waves, so they would not pick pearls today. I saw Zhang Tie in the castle when I came here, and I haven't seen him for almost two months. When I saw Zhang Tie again at this time, the girls in Zhixingyuan were a little surprised.
The fiery Du Yuhan raised her eyebrows when she saw Zhang Tie's smiling face, and asked bluntly, "What are you doing here?"
"Hehe, let's come and see you. It's been almost two months. The interest on the money you owe me will soon become eighteen gold coins. Including the principal, each of you owes me 108 yuan now." A gold coin, I want to see when you will pay it back!" Zhang Tie joked with the girls of Zhixing Academy with a playful smile.
As soon as the money owed to Zhang Tie was mentioned, the faces of the girls in Zhixing Academy became bitter. 108 gold coins were a huge sum of money for these girls who had just tried to make money by themselves. Moreover, the interest on this huge sum of money increases by 10% every month. Many of them are not even able to pay back the interest even if they earn a month.
"We will pay back the money we owe you..." Lu Shasha said weakly.
"It doesn't matter if you don't pay it back, as long as you can complete the task I assigned, you can get the reduction!" Zhang Tie's pretended "evil" gaze turned to Lu Shasha all of a sudden.
Thinking of the "disgusting task" that Zhang Tie asked her to complete "with her mouth", Lu Shasha's face turned pale, she didn't dare to look at Zhang Tie, and hid behind another girl like a frightened rabbit.
It was only at this time that the bet with Zhang Tie made the girls of Zhixingyuan truly understand what it means to throw a stone at their own feet. They forced Zhang Tie to sign the bet at the beginning, and they thought they could take advantage of it. I wanted to clean up this bastard, but I didn't expect to be cleaned up by this bastard in the end.
...
After flirting with these little girls, Zhang Tie laughed and went back to the room where Lao Chen and the others were. As a Yaksha patrolling the sea, he wanted to get family contribution points. Even if he didn't go to sea, he still had to stay on duty in the castle , to deal with some emergencies.
The girls didn't seem to notice why Zhang Tie was so casual on the site of the Changfeng Pearl Field.
...
More than ten minutes later, just as Zhang Tie was leisurely kowtowing melon seeds in the room and listening to a few sea patrollers talking about some interesting things, a girl with a pale face rushed in with some panic.
"It's not good, Du Yuhan went to the sea to fish for pearls, but was swept away by the waves..."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tie stood up immediately, and rushed out like a gust of wind...
...
