Chapter 3: Zhang Dadan
Boldly, did you not go to pick up Master Tan today
In the following days, Zhang Heng'an stayed peacefully in Dago Town, spending his time either drinking with Zhang Zhentian or wandering around aimlessly.
Others chimed in, saying: "Brother Heng, if you have something to say, just speak up. We can tell you are a person of integrity, so if there is anything you need, please do not hesitate to ask"
The children ran home joyfully, as if presenting treasures.
Keeping Zhang Daren by my side may perhaps allow him to become a good assistant in the future
He then looked towards the crowd
Zhang Zhentian is the son of the elder Zhang family. Now, Zhang Zhentian is actually walking behind Zhang Heng, which undoubtedly indicates that he is a distinguished guest
The roof has been repaired, the window paper has also been replaced with new ones, and the old house can be considered habitable now
Without going too far, just looking at the people sitting in front of me, each of them has a gleam in their eyes when they look at him, as if they are about to write "a rare treasure" on their faces
If you feel it is still not secure, there is a money master living in the neighboring Goose City, said to be the senior brother of Master Xu, a true disciple of Maoshan, renowned within a radius of several hundred miles.
Knowing that the family is poor, I have taken the initiative to assist Master Tan outside, alleviating the burden on Zhang Daren
Zhang Dadan jumped down from the car and, with a simple and honest expression, approached Zhang Heng: "Brother Heng, how about I follow you and work together?"
This ... ...
Zhang Heng casually remarked, then turned to Zhang Zhentian behind him: "Cousin, can everyone drink?"
Those who are aware will say that Zhang Heng is capable of handling matters, while those who are not will mistakenly think they are taking advantage of the situation
Because even if we consider a hundred years from now, with the information network being so advanced, there will still be quite a few strange and mysterious occurrences
Simply treat everyone to a meal, as it seems that they usually do not have much to spare, and it would be good for them to enjoy something nice to replenish themselves
A group of people arrived at the tavern in the town
While amusing himself, Zhang Heng heard someone calling his name again
Zhang Zhentian thought for a moment and felt that this was not good
Zhang Dadan's wife will cheat, partly due to loneliness and partly because she has endured enough hardship, not wanting to live from hand to mouth any longer
Zhang Heng was taken aback for a moment
After a few days, the townspeople became familiar with him, all knowing that he was Zhang Daxian's son who had returned from Nanyang, and there were many more smiles among the neighbors
Zhang Zhentian was speaking nearby
Cousin, I have returned from Nanyang and naturally I am not short of money. Moreover, I also wish to get to know everyone.
Zhang Dadan was taken aback for a moment, holding the roasted chicken and murmuring, "Brother Heng, how did you know?" After speaking, he looked at the others and asked, "Did you all say something?"
Returned home in a state of great intoxication
Zhang Dadan is the town's coachman, currently working for Master Tan, and is considered a full-time driver
It is another morning
Zhang Zhentian casually spoke a few words
At this point, nine individuals chose a large table to sit down, and before long, a feast of food and drink was laid out before them, each dish rich and hearty, causing the onlookers to salivate.
Eight or nine people, this is quite extravagant, besides, you have just returned from the South Seas, and there are many places where you will need to spend money
Zhang Heng walked up with a smile
To speak of simplicity, it is the people of the Republic of China era who embody true simplicity
This idea was rejected by Zhang Zhentian on the grounds that mutual assistance among clans does not involve monetary compensation; only outsiders are paid.
Shili Slope, Wanfuyizhuang, Master Xu, Master Qian, Lord Tan, Bold Zhang
Zhang Heng wishes to come
Swallowing his saliva, a chubby helper stood up
Zhang Heng knew that Zhang Zhentian wanted to save money for him, so he simply did not ask him anymore
This world truly has such things
In the tavern, the waiter must possess keen insight, even if there is nothing else to offer
Will Master Xu take him as a disciple? Setting aside the transmission of the Maoshan techniques, it is certain that Master Qian, who is motivated by money, would be willing to teach him
Zhang Heng observed everything keenly
Master Qian, Master Xu
He wishes to gain a certain degree of discourse power within the clan in a short period of time, which naturally requires financial backing; it is not feasible to keep wealth hidden.
This is Zhang Daren, who claims to be the bravest person in town
I have been busy all afternoon
Zhang Zhentian remained silent for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I have heard of it, but I have never seen it."
It is often said that wealthy individuals do not lack friends, and this statement indeed holds true
Hiss
Zhang Dadan possesses martial arts skills, capable of defeating five or six strong men with bare hands. His martial prowess is likely not inferior to that of some renowned martial artists, and having him around can ensure safety
Zombie!
Zhang Heng signed for a bag of Daylight milk candies and casually distributed them to the children playing on the street
... ... evening ... ...
What has your wife said to you
Thus, under his repeated insistence, Zhang Zhentian ceased to say much more, and a group of people joyfully made their way to the tavern
After downing a glass of wine, Zhang Heng cast a suspicious glance at Zhang Zhentian
Zhang Heng did not speak
Looking at the simple-minded Zhang Dadan, and then thinking about his future fate of family ruin and personal disaster, Zhang Heng fell silent for a moment: "Alright, you will follow me from now on, no need to go to Master Tan's place anymore"
Zhang Heng only felt a chill down his back, and a myriad of thoughts surged in his mind: "This is truly unbelievable. A perfectly good two-world trafficker has suddenly transformed into a supernatural realm. Fortunately, I asked more questions today; otherwise, I would have been completely clueless and would surely suffer losses in the future."
Subsequently, having fallen victim to the schemes of Lord Tan, I was inexplicably burdened with the accusation of murder. Ultimately, I took refuge in Maoshan and became a disciple of Master Xu, thus bidding farewell to the mundane world
Zhang Heng thought to himself: "A red apricot has come over the wall, and Zhang Daren's wife is certainly not an easy character; she wouldn't be thinking of targeting herself, would she?"
As a modern individual, Zhang Heng does not have the habit of letting others help him for free; he originally intended to offer payment.
Zhang Heng looked on with a smile; in this era of scarcity, where many people struggle to have enough to eat, the white milk candy can be considered a supreme delicacy
My wife said, "Mr. Heng, you are a wealthy merchant who has returned from Nanyang, dressed in gold and adorned with silver. If I could follow you, it would surely be more promising than following Master Tan."
Your wife
Cousin, everyone helped me repair the house for an entire afternoon, and I have nothing to express my gratitude for
This is the world of "Ghost Fighting Ghost"
Zhang Dadan possesses a pure Yang constitution in his Ba Zi, making him a naturally gifted seed for cultivation. Even if he suffers physical setbacks, he is not someone that ordinary individuals can compare to. This is also the reason why Master Xu is willing to take him as a disciple
Um ... ...
Since learning that this is the world of "Ghost Fighting Ghosts," Zhang Heng has become focused on Taoist arts
Zhang Heng has his own plans
According to the storyline of "Ghosts Catch Ghosts," it is likely that before long, Zhang Daren will realize that his wife is having an affair, and then he will go to catch them in the act
It is uncomfortable for Zhang Heng to help others for free without any compensation
Good morning, Brother Heng
Zhang Zhentian was somewhat at a loss for words
Before further contemplation, everyone raised their glasses and approached
Seeing that Zhang Heng did not respond, Zhang Daren added another remark
Zhang Heng frowned slightly
The wine in the tavern is not cheap, and their group of nine people, wanting to drink joyfully, cannot be satisfied without at least ten jin of wine
A gold pocket watch is something that very few people in the town have seen; it is a fine item that only the high-ranking officials from the provincial capital possess
Brother Heng, I have become quite bold; I can even sleep in a graveyard in the dead of night
Cousin, if you believe in these things, there is a place called Shili Slope seventy miles to the east, where there is a Wanfufu Charity House, and inside the house lives a man named Xu, who is said to be quite capable
I sing a song for you, please lend me your ear to listen
Zhang Dadan, as he spoke, suddenly felt embarrassed, his face turning red as he said: "I don't have many thoughts; I just know that there is no one around you to command. I have no other skills, just that I am familiar with the roads. Wherever you want to go, I will take you."
Although I do not know Zhang Heng, he knows Zhang Zhentian
There is beef, freshly slaughtered in the morning, and it will only be braised in the afternoon
As one thought arose, another could not help but surface: "Upon entering the supernatural realm of the Republic of China, is it not too lacking in challenge to merely earn some money and return?"
From a distance, I saw an old man with white hair, but in the blink of an eye, he vanished without a trace, leaving me in a cold sweat.
Zhang Heng took a sharp breath
If Zhang Dadan is successful and can make money, can he change his fate?
After a short while, he turned his head to look at Zhang Daren, who was fiercely gnawing on a roast chicken and had always seemed somewhat familiar to him, and suddenly asked: "Zhang Daren, is your wife named Hongxing? Do you usually drive a carriage for someone called Master Tan?"
In later generations, many neighbors living across the street do not know each other, and it is not easy to integrate into a new environment
... ...
Brother Heng, I toast to you with a drink
Zhang Heng, seeing this, no longer asked further questions
Looking up, one could see not far away at the intersection, Zhang Daren was greeting himself while driving a horse-drawn carriage
If he remembers correctly, Zhang Daren's wife is quite a shrewd person
Zhang Dadan patted his chest and then said: "I am a horse cart driver. You have just returned from Nanyang, and the ways of life here are unfamiliar to you. If you find yourself in need of assistance, do not hesitate to speak up. I am a person of great loyalty."
Zhang Hengyi made an appearance, and his attire, reminiscent of a wealthy young master, captured the attention of the crowd
Do you have beef or lamb?
Everyone shook their heads, including the boldest among them, Zhang Dadan, who stated: "These are merely hearsay; whether they are true or false, no one can clarify."
The wages given by Master Tan are too low
Bring me ten jin of Huadiao, and make sure it is the best you have
Daguo Town is a poor place, with few wealthy individuals and limited exposure to the outside world
In this case, the rumors about the zombie outbreak are likely no longer just rumors
It is actually my wife who asked me to come here
Everyone shook their heads
Of course, Zhang Heng is not without his own selfish motives
How about this, I see there is a small tavern in our town, let's invite everyone and have a lively evening together
Taking a step back is not considered a matter of cultivation
Cousin, on my way back, someone told me that there are zombies causing a disturbance in our area. Is this true or not
Bring five jin of beef, then stew a chicken, bring a fish, and serve various good dishes at will
Zhang Heng wore a beaming smile
Raise the wine, let the cups not stop
For example, a person returns home at night and passes by an intersection
Come, I will give you candy
Previously, he was still uncertain, but after Zhang Daren admitted it, he finally understood where he stood
