Omniscient and Almighty

Chapter 776 Consumption
After the story was told, everyone left.

When Xu Guangling and the others came out of the tea shed, it was already evening.

The afterglow of the setting sun falls on this street, people come and go, talking and laughing, as if walking casually on this street, you can stroll into a park.

——Here, there is no park.

"Master, that story is very boring, not good at all." Xu Tonghui said next to Xu Guangling, "Return to the strong man of the earth level, is that what the strong man of the earth level is like? I can beat a hundred like him!"

Next, Xu Tonghui continued to pick out many shortcomings of that story.

What he said was correct, but what he said was not worth the money.

At any rate, it was a seventh-rank family in the past, and now a fifth-rank family. Even if the dealer lived in a secluded place, even if Xu Tonghui was just a servant of the dealer, his eyesight would not be so shallow, and he would complain about a mere hundred copper coins.

In fact, they came out this time, and the family didn't give much money.

A total of only 200 taels!
In fact, this is quite a lot. Normally speaking, it is more than enough for the two of them to spend a few years outside.

It can take as little as two or three years, and as many as four or five years. If you save a little, it can take longer.

But Xu Tonghui thought carefully.

He didn't want to return to the family so soon.

He wanted to be by the young master's side.

If he followed for a long time, he might become the young master's man. Even if he returned to the family in the future, he could still talk to the young master, talk to the patriarch, and listen to the young master.

And if he didn't follow for long enough, then after returning to the family, he might still work for the family, instead of being able to stay by the young master's side.

Then...

It's over!
The family is not big, but it is not small. In short, in the past ten years, Xu Tonghui has never heard of the young master's name, nor has he met the young master.

He heard that the young master's name was not long before he left this time, because the young master was initially selected by the adults from Dayao Mountain.

If he didn't follow the young master after returning to the family, it might be the same as before, and he wouldn't see the young master for ten or eight years!
That's just...

In short, if there are two opportunities before Xu Tonghui, one is to go to Dayao Mountain to practice in the legendary spiritual realm, and the other is to follow the young master like now.

Then he probably didn't even think about it, so he chose the latter.

Choose like now.

"Before returning to the family, you must let the young master take a fancy to me. It is best to take the initiative to ask me to stay by your side." Xu Tonghui thought beautifully, and then asked with gratitude and fear: "Master, what did you do that day?" Pick me?"

The patriarch called several people for the young master to choose, and he was just one of them, and he was not very outstanding in terms of cultivation.

I remember that the young master seemed to just point at him casually.

In fact, speaking from the bottom of his heart, Xu Tonghui didn't even want to be selected at the time, and he believed that several other people probably thought the same way. ——How good it is to stay in the family, besides, the family is newly promoted to the fifth rank, so staying in the family may have better treatment and opportunities.

But if you come out, what else can you do besides eating and sleeping in the open?
But now, it's only been a few days since he came out, well, even less than five days, Xu Tonghui didn't know how many times he was grateful and scared in his heart.

He also finally knew why so many clan elders gathered there that day, and why so many clan elders saw them off.

What Xu Tonghui still can't understand for the time being is why the young master failed to go to Dayao Mountain in the end, and why he has never heard of the young master for so many years before?

It doesn't make sense.

No, this is simply too unreasonable!
"Why did I choose you that day? Uncle Xu, when you walk, do you usually put your left foot first or your right foot first?"

This question stumped Xu Tonghui.

He stopped deliberately.

Then start walking again.

When he walked for the first time, he took his left foot first, and after thinking about it, it seemed a little wrong. He stopped, and when he walked for the second time, he took his right foot first, and there seemed to be something wrong. The third time he took his left foot first... …

"Master!" Xu Tonghui scratched his head.

"Yes, that's it, there's no reason." Xu Guangling said with a smile.

Xu Tonghui exhaled secretly.

How lucky I am!
"Master, shall we have something to eat?" Xu Tonghui said.

"Okay, instead of going to the food shop, let's go to Tankou to see if there is anything to eat, if there is something to eat, if there is no food, then go to the food shop." Xu Guangling said.

All I ate was dry food these days.

And the so-called dry food is fried dry wheat grains, which are not actually wheat, but almost, anyway, they are similar to grains.

Then comes the steamed and sun-dried jerky.

As long as it is not damp, these two things can be easily stored for dozens of days.

This is a very lively beach, where there are a lot of people, there is usually no shortage of food and drink.

Sure enough, when Xu Guangling and the others came here, even though it was only evening, many torches had already been lit, and in some places, a large pile of bonfires had already been lit.

barbecue!

Not as delicate as in the previous life, and most of them are one or half processed beasts of all sizes roasted on top.

Wild ducks, pheasants, hares, bird eggs and the like.

It's "upscale".

There are more non-meat dishes, such as roasted or boiled gnocchi, and roasted potatoes.

This is the mouth of a big river, and of course the local specialty, fish and shrimp, is indispensable.

Xu Tonghui pretended to choose for a while, but in fact he didn't know how to choose at all. Xu Guangling saw that the stall he picked was not bad. In fact, most of the stalls here have similar barbecue levels—all of them are so bad.

So he went with him.

Fish, shrimp, eggs, and cooked pheasant, etc. After sitting down, Xu Guangling ordered a lot without asking Xu Tonghui's opinion.

Xu Tonghui secretly had a toothache.

According to the young master's way of spending money, it won't be long before they have to go back to the family.

How to do?
Do you want him to go to Tankou to carry bags to make money?
Even if he has the strength, he doesn't have the time!
So sad!

Xu Tonghui was worried in his heart, and smiled on his face, "Master, this grilled fish is quite delicious, do you want to order a few more?"

"Okay, ten more!" Xu Guangling said, "Uncle Xu, you are a monk, and you are already a 'big monk', and your appetite must have increased a lot, so eat as much as you want! You can't come out with me, And make you hungry."

Young master, really, I would rather be hungry, even if I eat one meal a day, I can make do with it!
Of course, this is what Xu Tonghui said in his heart, and it can only be said in his heart, "Master, I understand!"

Call you cheap!

Then, while eating, he silently counted in his heart:

"Five coppers."

"Ten copper plates."

"Twenty coppers."

"..."

The young master ordered all the expensive ones at this stall!
"Master, this kind of wild bird is actually not delicious. Even if it is boiled and then roasted, it will clog your teeth!" Xu Tonghui finally couldn't help it, and began to complain, "It's not worth five dollars at all!" One copper coin!"

"You don't understand!" Xu Guangling smiled and shook his head.

After this meal, he has a basic understanding of the surrounding mountains, water, vegetation, and even the entire natural ecology.
