Tang Tiantian, the Zhu of crossing

Opening his eyes tremblingly, Zhang Xi was amazed at his own survival.Lying in a strange thatched hut, covered with a quilt full of patches, Zhang Xi stretched out his palm to look, and knew that he was still in the world of Zhu Tang, and he was still occupying this fair body.

So, where is he now?Zhang Xi looked around and saw the cold wind blowing around the house.

Suddenly, the door was opened, Zhang Xi looked at it immediately, a burst of fragrance came out, and a red figure walked in.

When the visitor approached, Zhang Xicai could clearly see his face, which was exquisite, fresh and charming.The long black hair was casually loose, and the tall and slender figure, such a charming young man, was actually a man.

Zhang Xi once guessed that the visitor would be a beautiful woman.

The man sat on the side of the bed, and stroked Zhang Xi's cheek with his slender fingers, making it soft and smooth.

Zhang Xi stared at him blankly, and asked weakly, "Did you save me?"

The corner of the man's mouth was raised slightly, his fingers slid across Zhang Xi's cheek again, and he said quietly: "No, I'm just passing by here. It's the first time I see a zero-level adult, and I think it's very interesting, so..." The man's hand stopped On Zhang Xi's pale lips, "How about letting me be your benefactor?" The voice was full of magnetism.

Zhang Xi, who was going to thank the savior, felt very uncomfortable with the man's touch. The man's eyes seemed to be staring at a pet, which made Zhang Xi feel dissatisfied.

However, Zhang Xi had no strength in his body, and Zhang Xi turned his face away stubbornly after exhausting his strength, letting the man's fingers leave his lips.

From the man's words, Zhang Xi learned two messages.The first is his own level. Is it true that he has become a zero level as he said?The second is the word "gold master". What does it mean?

"Why? Don't want to?" The man felt more interesting about Zhang Xi's reaction, smiled, and withdrew his hand, "It's the first time I've been rejected!"

Zhang Xi, who was not aware of the situation, chose to remain silent for the first time. At least this monstrous man in front of him could not be completely trusted by Zhang Xi.

Without Zhang Xi's response, the man stood up gently, stroked his long hair back, turned around, and left a sentence: "My name is Song Shuyue, come to me if you figure it out." Walked away.

Leave a fragrance.

Staring at the red figure that disappeared at the door, Zhang Xi fell into deep thought.Here, where is it?Who is Song Shuyue?

Not long after, an old man walked into the thatched cottage, carrying freshly boiled herbs, and came to Zhang Xi's bed very kindly.

At the first glance, Zhang Xi was convinced that the old man must be the benefactor who saved him.Therefore, Zhang Xi thanked again and again: "Thank you for saving me."

The old man helped Zhang Xi sit up, handed the herbal medicine to Zhang Xi, and said politely: "It's nothing, it's just a matter of raising your hands. It seems that the young master must have encountered a catastrophe! Otherwise, this level would not be..." Speaking of this , the old man stared at Zhang Xi's forehead with regret.

After hearing the old man's words, Zhang Xi affirmed the fact that his level was zero, and tried to smile and said: "Don't be afraid, if you survive a catastrophe, you will have good fortune!"

"Young Master, you are in such a good mood!" The old man swept away his previous worries.

After drinking the herbal medicine, Zhang Xi asked again: "I don't know where this is?"

The old man put the bowl aside, and thoughtfully found clothes for Zhang Xi to put on: "We are Zicheng, and the former Yan country is on the border. Where is the son from?"

"Zicheng..." Sure enough, it was still here at Zhutang, Zhang Xi quickly replied, "I came from the capital to look for relatives, and I didn't expect to meet gangsters on the way." Zhang Xi knew that he couldn't mention words such as the imperial palace. , then just made up a reason.

In the following chat, Zhang Xi probably knew his situation.With the disappearance of the water of the Moon River, he actually came to Zicheng thousands of miles away. Fortunately, his wounds are recovering rapidly!Zhang Xi suspects that this is probably related to the fact that he has the blood of the Kenla tribe. The recovery of the wound is too miraculous.

When washing his face, Zhang Xi became a little worried when he saw the grade number 0 on his forehead. This shouldn't have much effect, right?Just start from scratch.

The old man lives alone, lives by the sea, and usually catches some sea fish and sells them in the market, living an ordinary life.

After his body gradually recovered, Zhang Xi took the initiative to help the old man with work. First, he wanted to repay his kindness, and second, he felt that the old man was pitiful. At such an old age, he still had to work hard to earn money to support his family.

"Don't you have any children or relatives?" Zhang Xi, who helped collect the nets this day, finally couldn't help asking.

The old man showed a trace of sadness, but in a blink of an eye he smiled relievedly: "My wife passed away a few years ago. I have a son. He was unwilling to live such a poor life and went to work hard in the city. At first he even wrote letters. Then it was completely lost.”

Hearing this, Zhang Xi somewhat regretted bringing back sad memories of the old man.

"Every time I go to the city to sell fish, I always inquire about his whereabouts," the old man continued, "I heard that he has met a good donor and lived a carefree life."

Looking at the old man's bitter smile, Zhang Xi knew in his heart that if his son really lived a good life, why would he ignore his father?No one can say what happened to his son.

Speaking of this, Zhang Xi raised his own doubts, just to change the topic, Zhang Xi asked: "By the way, old man, what do you mean by the benefactor?"

"You don't know?" the old man asked back.

Zhang Xi shook his head. He only knew the general meaning of a benefactor in the modern world. It seems to be the kind of rich person who then encloses/raises some people, and for these entrusted/raised people, they are the benefactors .Zhang Xi remembered that there was a financial backer behind a certain actress in the industry, and it was an open secret.

However, the word "financial master" is not a good title, and there is a bit of irony in it.

The old man slowly explained: "As you know, the predecessor of Zicheng is Yan Country. In the past, Yan Country was famous for its stunning beauties and piles of gold and silver, and their country has always had a very strict hierarchy. Anyway, if you If you are of low rank and have no social status or money, you will be discriminated against and even beaten to death in the street!"

"Isn't this too lawless?" Zhang Xi was shocked.

"No way," the old man shook his head, "Yan country is protected by those gold masters. Even after he surrendered to Zhutang and became Zicheng, these hierarchical systems have been maintained. The entire Zicheng people can only rely on finding a powerful gold master." The master is proud, especially the financial masters of the four major families, if you climb up to them, no one will dare to bully you."

"Then, who are these benefactors..." Zhang Xi still couldn't figure out the specific meaning of the benefactors.

The old man naturally knew Zhang Xi's doubts, and continued: "That is to say, if you have a gold master, you have to obey their orders completely, be a cow, a horse, or even a slave! And what the gold master brings to you, It's money and status."

Isn't that the package/raise?Zhang Xi suddenly realized.However, Zhang Xi was amazed that in this purple city, "nurture/care" has become a sacred cause!It is simply too subverting Zhang Xi's three views.

Suddenly remembering the monstrous face that woke up before, Zhang Xi shuddered in fear. Fortunately, he didn't muddle-headedly agree to his benefactor's request at that time, otherwise he wouldn't know what he was being tortured at this moment!

"My lord, what are your plans next? Are you going back to the capital?" During dinner at night, the old man asked Zhang Xi.

"Old man, stop calling me son-in-law and call me Xiaoxi. To be honest, I really have nowhere to go right now!" Zhang Xi smiled, "If you don't mind, I'll be your son. Help me You catch fish and sell fish, which is also the life I yearn for!"

Hearing Zhang Xi's words, tears welled up in the old man's eyes. After holding Zhang Xi's hand, he said earnestly, "Thank you, Xiaoxi, I haven't seen my son for more than ten years. I am an old man, my surname is Lin, please call me Uncle Lin, now that your level is zero, it is best not to run around, lest you encounter bad people again, but the loss outweighs the gain."

Zhang Xi was also very moved by the closeness and concern of the old man.In fact, if you add Qiao Shimin to this kind of idyllic life, it will really be a fairy-like life!

I just don't know what Qiao Shimin's mood is now, does he think he is dead, or has started his imperial life again?And myself, should I go to the palace to find him?Zhang Xi hesitated.

"Hurry up and eat the fish!" Uncle Lin's enthusiasm pulled Zhang Xi back from his thoughts.

Zhang Xi enjoyed the family happiness, and decided not to think about those troubles for the time being, and watched the sunrise and sunset with the old man every day.

On this day, Uncle Lin suffered from rheumatism in his legs and feet. Zhang Xi strongly urged him to rest at home and go to the market to sell fish by himself.

Uncle Lin was unwilling at first, but couldn't stand Zhang Xi's repeated pleadings, so he had to compromise: "Then you cover up the grade on your forehead, and you will be unlucky if people see it."

"Well," Zhang Xi nodded, found a black cloth belt to hide the grade number, put the fish basket on his back, and bid farewell to Uncle Lin, "Don't worry, I'll be back after I've sold the fish and bought some rice." Zhang Xi was still thinking about going to the pharmacy and ordering some rheumatism medicine for Uncle Lin.

After a while, Zhang Xi arrived at the gate of Zicheng.
