"What are you talking about trespassing in a private house? I haven't had so many rules at Aunt Qing's house before."
Ah Xing puffed up his chest to show that he was calm and confident.
But the woman didn't buy it and gave him a look of disdain.
"Humph, Uncle Ding has just gone out. There are only my aunt and I at home. Others may see us talking nonsense, and it is really inconvenient to entertain you two. Please go back."
With that said, he pushed the two of them out.
Fortunately for Zhao Yan, although the woman has some martial arts skills, it is not easy to push him.
However, Ah Xing was pushed out of the door with one palm, and he almost fell on his back after taking several steps back.
"What are you doing! Want to act like a gangster?"
When the woman saw that Zhao Yan couldn't be pushed away, she was about to get angry as soon as she glared at him. She was really temperamental.
"What is the relationship between the girl and the master here? I have never heard that the couple has such a big daughter."
Zhao Yan replied calmly, not caring about the other party's difficulty.
With her acting like this, the problem probably lies with her name.
But where exactly did she offend?
"Hmph, it's not your turn to control my relationship with them. Anyway, I live here and I have the right to prevent you from coming in!"
"Hey, what's wrong with living here? The house doesn't belong to you. Besides, are you from Qixia Town? Take a look at your residence permit!"
Residence permit? ?
Zhao Yan and the woman both looked at Ah Xing in shock.
Neither of them had heard of this thing...
Seeing that one sentence actually hurt two people, Axing smiled apologetically, and then looked at the woman again.
"Hey, don't you know the rules of Qixia Town? If you want to become a resident here, you must end your mortal bond!"
"Otherwise, there's no way we can live here!"
Zhao Yan suddenly remembered that he had indeed heard of this rule.
But you still have to apply for a residence permit. Why does this feel like a migrant worker...
After hearing this, the woman's eyes lit up and she asked.
"Then you mean if I want to leave now, I can still leave?"
"certainly!"
"Very good!"
Azing seemed to be displeased to see the woman happy, so he quickly poured a basin of cold water on her.
"It's difficult to walk through the three passes. Once you pass the pass, you can get out!"
"If you can't pass, hey, you have to be punished!"
The smile on the woman's face quickly disappeared, her silver teeth clenched tightly, and she immediately wanted to close the door and let the dog out.
Fortunately, Qingqing heard the voices of the three people and walked over from inside.
"Minmin, you haven't finished your breakfast yet. Go and eat it quickly to avoid it getting cold later."
"oh…"
She saw that the three of them were not dealing with each other, so she sent the woman away with a very legitimate reason.
Then he looked at Zhao Yan and Zhao Yan gently.
"Axing, you brought this little brother here, but what's the matter?"
Qingqing is generous and polite. Although she is middle-aged, time has not brought her too much aging.
Except for a few fine lines on her face, she looked no different from a woman in her twenties.
"Aunt Qing, I would like to borrow the two books on the table legs at your house to read..."
Ah Xing scratched his head, looking much shyer than when he was at the wine shop.
Even with his unruly character, he felt a little restrained in front of an amiable elder like Qingqing.
"Yeah, you're a step late. Those two books were borrowed by Minmin last night."
Qingqing looked at the two of them strangely.
I haven’t seen anyone ask for it for several years, so why did it suddenly become so popular?
"What!"
Ah Xing clenched his fists, and all he could think about was "Why is this woman always against me?"
Zhao Yan didn't find it strange. Anyone from outside would find a way to get this kind of rare martial arts.
He himself is a good example. He immediately put his arms around Ah Xing's shoulders and saluted Qingqing:
"In that case, I won't bother you. Let's go back to the wine shop to help. Thank you Aunt Qing!"
"Why...don't you go and get it back!"
Ah Xing was hugged by his shoulders and was completely unable to break free. He could only watch as he got further and further away from the Ding family courtyard.
"It doesn't matter, it's almost impossible for her to get out after she's in here, so just take your time."
"That's right...when she gets tired of looking at it, she can't take it back to put on the table legs!"
The two walked back slowly.
It was still early at this time, and few people would come to drink early in the morning, so there was no need to worry about the shopkeeper looking for them.
"But the residence permit you mentioned, where should I get it?"
"Oh, don't worry. Just work in our liquor store for two days and ask the shopkeeper to be your guarantor. Then you can go to Xuanji Building to handle the matter."
Axing once again played the role of explanation and introduced Zhao Yan in detail.
"But, the town does not support useless people. Since you want to live in the town, you have to accept various jobs arranged by Xuanji Tower."
"Do you have any special skills? The more popular ones are wine making, cooking, clothing, storytelling, etc. If you don't know anything, just find a place like me to work for others."
"If there is really no one to accept it, we can only do whatever Xuanji House arranges. It's all hard work like mining, casting, and farming."
"Our shopkeeper relied on his good wine-making skills to obtain this small independent shop in the town. Most people can't do it."
Zhao Yan nodded clearly and had a deeper understanding of Qixia Town.
This place is not like the outside world, but feels a bit like the big pot rice era.
Those who are skilled sell their skills, and those who are unskilled sell their strength. In short, as long as you are willing to work, you will never starve to death.
But his martial arts skills are of no use here.
No matter how strong it is, is it better than a bunch of land gods who are wholesale?
And a place like this…
It seems to be very suitable for him to survive!
When it comes to acrobatics, who else in the world knows more about it than he does? ?
You must know that in addition to martial arts secret books, Wang Yuyan also read many other miscellaneous books.
These things that were considered useless at the time can actually shine now?
"Hey, how about it? Have you thought about choosing a specialty?"
Axing saw that Zhao Yan didn't know what he was thinking, so he patted him on the shoulder and asked.
Unexpectedly, the corner of Zhao Yan's mouth evoked a dragon king's smile, and he spread his palms and held them to his chest.
"Hmph, adults don't make choices, I want them all!"
"Uh... I can only choose one."
Axing couldn't understand why Zhao Yan was suddenly so complacent and had strange eyesight.
"That's it..."
"Which one is the most popular?"
Zhao Yan coughed twice and asked again.
"Of course it's a storyteller. Outside Xuanji Building, there are many people there every day who hear about stories!"
"As long as you speak well and everyone likes to listen, you can be rewarded with meal tickets, wine tickets, clothing tickets, anything. It makes money!"
"But in our town, only Old Man Tianji, Huamanlou and the others have this ability. Others just want to go up, but they don't have anything in their stomachs."
Sure enough, in the era of big pot rice, entertainment is king.
A group of powerful men work hard every day, and there are no women for public use here...
So besides listening to books for fun, what other pastimes can you find?
Zhao Yan frowned and nodded, expressing understanding.
"Okay, then I'll go tell the story!"
