Chapter 4 Go to Holy Soul Village
While Gan Jue was walking amidst the hawking sounds, he suddenly saw three big words written on a plaque:
Miscellaneous shop
"Well... what kind of shop is mixed? Although I don't know the word in the middle, it should be here."
Gan Jue silently added a star to the task of literacy in his heart and walked into the grocery store.
Not to mention, this grocery store looks small from the outside, but it looks small from the inside.
However, the storefront is small, but the backyard warehouse is really not small. Although there are not many types, the quantity is large. Various seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar, and various wines fill the entire backyard.
"Hey, little guy, who are you from? Why did you come from inside?"
Just as Gan Jue was looking around at the entrance of the grocery store, he was stopped.
"Oh, uncle, I'm here to find Grandpa Deng, where is he?"
Gan Jue was not afraid of being alive, so he asked the man directly.
"Grandpa Deng? Oh, you are looking for Old Deng. He is moving things and will come out soon. Just wait outside and don't go in. If you break something, you will have to pay!"
"Okay, I know uncle, I'll wait at the door."
After Gan Jue agreed, he stood at the door obediently.
"Yeah! Don't run around."
The man greeted him again and returned to the backyard warehouse. After a while, a man in his forties and fifties walked out slowly with a load of things. He glanced at Gan Jue, without saying a word, walked straight out of the door, put the things on the ground, and then turned around to greet Gan Jue.
"Child, you just look for me? What's the matter?"
"Uh..., you are Mr. Deng...Uncle, that, I'm going to the Holy Soul Village, I can't find the way, I want to go with you."
Gan Jue was not nervous at first. He thought that Old Man Wang called Lao Deng people who were about the same grade as him, but he turned out to be a middle-aged man. Moreover, this man was not very kind in his face, and his tone was quite straightforward and a bit vicious.
"What? You're the only one? No, no, what are the little kids running around? What should I do when I encounter danger? Where are your adults?"
When Gan Jue heard what he said, he felt relieved, which shows that although this person looks evil on the outside, he is still kind on the inside.
Gan Jue made a heartbroken expression:
"They died... Before leaving, they told me that my second uncle Jack lives in the Holy Soul Village and asked me to join him. I heard from the cake seller Grandpa said that you are also from the Holy Soul Village and said that I can go there with you, so I came to find you."
Gan Jue made up the identity of an old Jack nephew for himself. He didn't dare to directly say that he wanted to find Tang Hao. First, he didn't know when this was, and if Tang Hao was still in the Holy Soul Village, and second, he was afraid that if Tang Hao knew that he was looking for him specifically and had some suspicion towards him, it would be a big loss.
"You are Old Jack's...a grand nephew?"
"Yeah..., can you take me there? Don't worry, I'm very obedient and won't run around. You just need to take me to the Holy Soul Village. I'll go the rest myself."
Old Deng looked at him and thought for a while before hesitating and agreed: "I can take you there, but I have to send you to Old Jack's house and confirm that you are going to join him."
"Yeah, OK!"
Gan Jue quickly agreed and no matter what request he had, he would arrive first. Anyway, he was still a child. As long as he was not a bad person, he would not make things difficult for him as a child.
"Okay, then you can follow me! I will agree first, I won't stop to rest often, if you can't keep up, I won't wait for you!"
"Don't worry, Uncle Deng, I will follow you. When will we leave?"
Gan Jue was a little excited.
"I've already bought the goods, so let's go."
As he said that, Old Deng took on his burden, and the shoulder pole made a squeaking sound as he stood up. Then Gan Jue saw that he was like the first person he saw when he first entered the city, his body trembled regularly with his steps. While he was moving forward, he said to Gan Jue without looking back.
"Come on, boy."
Gan Jue agreed and followed him, studying Lao Deng's actions with great interest.
He found that Lao Deng's order was the first person to carry the burden when he entered the city. The burden was not static on his body, but jumped up and down with his pace. Every time the load was bombed, Lao Deng would move forward, and every time he landed, the load fell just in time, so Lao Deng would take it over, lift the load, and then move forward.
Although this action will make the order heavier than itself when it falls on it, it will also make the order from being pressed on it to being indirectly oppressed, which greatly saves energy.
Sure enough, no matter which world we are in, the wisdom of our working people is endless.
Gan Jue sighed.
....
Slowly, Gan Jue followed Lao Deng out of the city.
After leaving the city, Gan Jue gradually became familiar with Old Deng and began to talk without a trace.
"Uncle Deng, do you usually do farm work?"
"I, I don't do it. I opened a small shop. In addition to purchasing goods, I just need to guard my shop."
"Well, is that Holy Soul Village big? Are there many small shops like you?"
"It's okay, there are only 300 households in our Holy Soul Village, and I'm the only store in the village. After all, if you have to go so far to purchase goods, you have to pick them up, which is not possible for ordinary people."
"You are the only store, which must be very profitable. Many people come to you to buy things and drink wine."
"It's just a profit. After all, the villagers usually buy some oil, salt, rice, sauce, vinegar, etc., and there is a lot of wine. Especially in our village, there is a drunkard who drinks it every day. Now he has fallen to the point where his four or five-year-old son takes care of him...tsk tsk..."
Old Deng seemed to look down on the drunkard very much. He frowned and made a "tsk tsk" sound in his mouth while shaking his head.
When Gan Jue heard his words, his heart was shocked.
Yes!
Drunkard, he also needs his son to cook and take care of him every day!
It must be Tang Hao and Tang San, the father and son!
And Gan Jue also instantly inferred the current time period.
Now is when Tang San and Tang Hao are still living in the Holy Soul Village, and the plot has not yet begun!
"Good time, yeah!"
Gan Jue slapped his hands together excitedly and made a slight "bang".
"What's wrong?"
When Old Deng heard the voice, he took the time to look back and saw that Gan Jue looked a little excited, and asked strangely.
"Ah~..., nothing. That, Uncle Deng, is this drunkard the blacksmith in your village?"
"Yes, how do you know, has the drunkard's reputation been passed to you?..."
Old Deng seemed to have some understanding.
"Yes, yes! My father said that he hates such people the most! He is lazy and lazy! "
Gan Jue was happy in his heart and just followed Lao Deng's words.
"Yes...! But we can't control him, we just pity his child. He has to suffer so much with that bad person at such a young age."
"A child, it's okay to endure more hardships. Only by enduring hardships can he become the best. He will definitely have a great future!"
Gan Jue responded to Lao Deng with a smile, completely forgetting that he is also a child now.
Old Deng was a little surprised when he heard his words. He looked back at him again. Seeing Gan Jue smiling, he not only sighed in his heart: "It's true that he is still a child... When he was in the city, he was still sad about his family's death. Now he is in such a good mood... It's true that he is still ignorant..." (The ignorance here does not mean that Gan Jue is a naughty child, but that he thinks he is still young and does not understand what these things mean.)
"Tsk..., it's better to be ignorant~~!"
Not sure what he thought of, Old Deng sighed again.
"Uncle Deng, why are you ignorant?"
"Nothing is nothing, go away!"
In this way, two people, one big and one small, walked for a short time. Gan Jue also drew a lot of things from the journey of this short time. For example:
Now where Gan Jue is located is the Tiandou Empire, and there is another empire on this continent called Xingluo.
Of course, Gan Jue knew all these things. He had read Douluo Continent novels, but he still remembered these big things, but more specifically, for example, where he is now located is the southwest of the Tiandou Empire, the Fasno Province, and the jurisdiction of Notting City.
Notting City is not a big city, but because it is very close to the Xingluo Empire, it is also one of the starting places for merchant transactions between the two empires. Notting City has flourished as a result. In addition, the civilian lives in these surrounding villages are much better than other places.
As the only official organization of the Soul Master, the Martial Soul Hall will be sent to various villages every year to awaken the martial souls for children of the right age. This year's awakening time will be three months later.
...
In three months, you must take root in the Holy Soul Village within three months, then establish a good relationship with Tang San and his son, then compete for luck and see what your martial soul should be.
Gan Jue made up his mind.
Anyway, I am also a time traveler, so I am a son of destiny. Even if I don’t have twin martial souls like the orthodox protagonist Tang San, it shouldn’t be bad, right?
"arrive!"
Gan Jue, who was silently fantasizing about the future in his heart, suddenly heard Lao Deng shouting. He raised his head and saw a stone tablet with three big words written in red:
Chapter completed!
