Ruins of the past

A few days ago, Chu Qiguang officially accepted Chen Gang as a servant and taught him the martial arts of Tianling Body Training Fist, which even made him feel slightly grateful.

After all, all kinds of knowledge in this era are firmly in the hands of the powerful, not to mention powerful weapons such as martial arts. Unless ordinary farmers sell themselves to wealthy families, they will not be able to learn even a superficial amount of boxing and kicking skills.

He was able to learn real martial arts, and his body returned to normal. His physical strength was greatly improved after using the Heavenly Demon Foundation Establishment Technique. These are enough to make Chen Gang feel grateful and have a glimmer of hope for his future life.

And the hope for future life... In this world where people at the bottom are oppressed by squires, officials, and religions as soon as they are born, it may be one of the most important things.

After all, if you sell yourself to a wealthy family as a domestic servant, Chen Gang is only worth three or four taels of silver at most.

Moreover, it was common for most servants to be abused and beaten severely.

In this world where life is not yet fully satisfying, the people's ability to endure far exceeds that of the modern society where Chu Qiguang lived in the past.

Chu Qiguang looked at Chen Gang and nodded: "Good practice."

Chen Gang received the praise from the other party, with a smile on his face, and said: "Brother Dog, do you want to give me some advice today?"

Chu Qiguang frowned and said, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Chen Gang lowered his head: "No... no."

Chu Qiguang said: "I thought you had some talent before, so I gave you a few beatings to teach you about martial arts. You are quite enlightened and willing to endure hardship, so I accepted you."

"The fortune teller said that I was sent to save the Prime Minister, but I don't agree. I think success or failure is up to you. Since you have decided to follow me, I can show you the way, but the last way is How it goes depends on yourself."

Chen Gang nodded silently when he heard this, and Chu Qiguang placed ten taels of silver in front of him.

"I'm going to the county tomorrow. If you are willing to follow me, these ten taels of silver will count as the settlement fee I will give you. From today on, your life will be mine."

Chen Gang knew that he had no choice at all, but with the ten taels of silver and the teaching of martial arts, his resistance gradually faded away.

When asked by Chu Qiguang at this moment, he immediately accepted the money and went back to settle down at home.

As soon as Chen left, Sister Ergou ran out with the white cat Jinxiu in her arms. She seemed to have forgotten what happened just now, with a silly look on her face.

She shouted to Tuesday Dog: "Brother! I also want to practice martial arts!"

Chu Qiguang looked at his sister kindly and said, "Silly boy, you can't practice."

My sister was unconvinced and said, "Why?"

"Because you are stupid." Chu Qiguang touched his sister's head: "A fool cannot practice martial arts."

My sister shouted loudly: "But I'm not stupid!"

Chu Qiguang asked: "If you weren't a fool, would you have thought of letting a cat farm? How could a cat farm with such little strength?"

Qiao Zhi and Jinxiu on the side nodded secretly after hearing this. Qiao Zhi thought to himself: "It's not in vain that I started to guide Chu Qiguang so early, and finally led him to the right path."

Chu Qiguang continued: "You ask a cat to do laundry and collect firewood in the morning, go to the river to catch fish and touch shrimps in the afternoon, and go to the fields to catch insects and pull weeds in the evening. How suitable are these activities for a cat? You can't even imagine that, how can you still Are you saying you're not a fool?"

"I really didn't expect it!" My sister asked doubtfully, "But will it be too tiring to do so much work?"

"So what if you're a little tired?" Chu Qiguang said, "Just think about the life that cats and cats used to live, living like animals and drinking blood and not knowing the years."

"But now they can 007... have something to do every day, no longer live in the open, have enough food, clothing, housing and transportation to live a civilized life. Do you think they can wash clothes in the wild? Can they make a fire? Eat cooked food? Do you have a house to live in?"

"What you are doing is turning a beast that eats hair and blood into a corner of human civilization and teaching them how to behave."

"This is their blessing!"

After listening to Chu Qiguang's words, although my sister could not fully understand everything, she felt that these words were very reasonable.

She nodded in realization: "So that's it! I will start teaching Maomao to work tomorrow! Brother, please tell me what to do..."

Chu Qiguang thought in his mind: 'It would be too wasteful to control monsters just for extortion. It would be a waste to confiscate the house and destroy the family. If we could liberate monster productivity, wouldn't it benefit the world? Let me, my silly sister, do it first. ’

Qiao Zhi on the side sighed repeatedly after hearing this: "This boy Chu Qiguang... really has deep evil thoughts. I must guide him well and kill the evil spirit in his heart. Let the human race do the work in the future, and the cat clan enjoy."

Qiao Zhi glanced at Jinxiu in her sister's arms, and when she saw the other person's thoughtful look, she felt anxious and started to meow.

"Jinxiu! What are you thinking? Do you think what he said makes sense?"

"It's all deception! It's all lies! Don't believe a word of it!"

When Jinxiu heard this, she looked at Qiao Zhi strangely, as if wondering why.

Qiao Zhi hated the iron and said: "I said that if you want to practice cultivation, you must first learn to be a human being and learn to be civilized, but I didn't let you work for others! This is slavery and oppression. You must resist to the end!"

"Since his sister is going to teach you how to work, I will teach you a few tricks on how to resist human oppression."

"When she talks to you in the future, you have to pretend not to understand. You just stare at her with wide eyes all the time and pretend you are stupid, so that she loses her confidence in teaching you."

"Even if she teaches you, you have to do it slowly and make mistakes. It's best to make mistakes at every turn to make her lose the patience to teach you."

"Also remember to drink more water and go to the toilet more often. Think about it, if you go to the toilet for half an hour every day, it is equivalent to 15 extra days of vacation a year!"

Qiao Zhi here was imparting advanced fishing experience to his subordinates. Chu Qiguang on the other side casually explained to his sister before going to see his mother.

Chu Qiguang casually explained to his mother that he and Wang Cailiang would go to the Yinglue Museum in the county seat, telling him that he might live in the county seat next time. If anything happened, he could contact the Wang family for big things and ask the Chen family next door for help. .

Then he gave his mother another ten taels of silver. He didn't dare to give too much. On the one hand, he would use the remaining silver to buy Bailian ointment. On the other hand, if Ergou's family had too much silver, it would be very difficult. Not safe.

Ergou's mother listened carefully to Chu Qiguang's instructions, and just looked at Chu Qiguang with a smile, nodding from time to time, completely trusting her son.

But before Chu Qiguang left, she greeted the other party and then took out a wooden box and handed it to Ergou.

"This is what your father left behind. He said that if you want to leave Wangjiazhuang in the future, let me give the wooden box to you..."

Chu Qiguang looked at this scene with slight surprise. He took the wooden box and opened it, and found a piece of bamboo inside with three big characters written on it.

Ergou's mother continued: "...Chu Qiguang, your father said that if you want to go out of Wangjiazhuang in the future, you will always need a louder name. Ergou can't bark anymore, just call him Chu Qiguang."
