Chapter 1, The Traveler Zheng Ziwen

Go away, don't block the way, all of you get out of my way

Seeing the crowd disperse, the woman let out a soft hum and walked directly to the small tree by the door, which was about the thickness of a bowl. She untied the reins of the large yellow horse tied to it and then gracefully mounted the horse.

Seeing his fierce and menacing appearance, Zheng Ziwen sighed, no longer engaging in debate with him, but instead turned around and went back into the house to pack his things

Even if you conquer my body, you cannot conquer my noble soul

However, I just paid my rent this month, you see...

He brandished the large kitchen knife in his hand and shouted loudly: "Zheng, if you dare to howl again, next time what I throw won't be a瓦罐, but my pig slaughtering knife!"

The sound was filled with desolation. Upon hearing this sound, the people along the street were momentarily taken aback, and even the various hawking voices seemed to have been paused like a recording, causing the entire street to come to a standstill in an instant

This girl appears to be around seventeen or eighteen years old, her figure is slender, and the attire she wears accentuates her graceful stature, exuding a certain gallant charm

Farewell, sisters of the Normal University, farewell, younger sisters of the Medical College

Hehe, Uncle Liu, you are right, I ... ...

Your young lady, being the esteemed daughter of a prominent family in Qinghe County, please forgive me, Zheng, for not being able to aspire to such heights

How dare you ride on top of me, one day I will ride back, it really hurts, that little girl is quite ruthless, how could she lay her hands on a handsome guy like me

At this moment, the door of the courtyard opened, and a young woman dressed as a maid walked out from the house

Hmph, sharp-tongued, we'll see about that

Once the excitement was over, in an instant, the street immediately returned to its previous lively scene

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Liu the butcher glaring with wide eyes, looking as if he was ready to swallow Zheng Ziwen alive and skin him, which was quite terrifying

No... ... don't... ... ah... ...

Looking at the handsome face of about sixteen or seventeen years old in the bronze mirror, Zheng Ziwen immediately dashed out of the house, raising his hands high and howling to the sky

Upon seeing this, Zheng Ziwen immediately retracted his head and then instantly filled his face with a smile

Take a look, take a look, the Wang family's large kitchen knife is incredibly sharp

As he spoke, he spat on the ground, seemingly using this act to express his disdain and contempt for someone like Zheng Ziwen, as a proud butcher.

You

Before her words had finished, a young man dressed in a light blue robe and adorned in scholarly attire strode out of the courtyard with his head held high

You

In response to her accusation, the other party merely smiled slightly, revealing a set of uneven teeth

No, no, I not only have teeth, but I also have twenty-four, each one intact

Hurry up and get lost, if you dare to make another sound, see if I won't beat you to death

After closing the door, Zheng Ziwen sighed, shaking his head as he walked into the bedroom, while taking off his long robe

Pear! Pear!

The first is his tendency to get drunk every time he drinks, and to act wildly when intoxicated. The second is his flaw of having a decrease in intelligence when he sees beautiful women, making him easily deceived.

Seeing him like this, the girl on the horse widened her eyes, ready to erupt in anger. Suddenly, she noticed that more onlookers had gathered around, pointing and whispering. With a quick turn of her eyes, she revealed a hint of a cold smile.

As the sun rises in the east, the brilliant rays of light dispel the morning mist, spreading sunshine and warmth across the land

He often thinks that if heaven were to grant him another chance, he would surely repent, he would definitely abstain from alcohol and lust, and he would strive to become a handsome man who is useful to society

Tanghulu, a sweet and sour treat!

He raised his head high and said loudly: "No need for that, this young master is not afraid of power. I am like a copper pea that cannot be steamed, boiled, flattened, or exploded, a resounding one!"

Looking back at the unclosed courtyard gate, a pair of beautiful big eyes slightly narrowed beneath long eyelashes, and in a delicate voice said: "Zheng Ziwen, listen carefully, I will give you one more chance..."

Creak!

"Spare my life, please..."

What a fine copper pea, Young Master Zheng is indeed quite dignified. I wonder who it was that was wailing and begging for mercy on the ground just now

With a cold snort, she tugged at the reins of the horse and soon disappeared at the end of the street

The woman was suddenly rendered blushing and flustered by his words, at a loss for what to do, and could only glare at him fiercely

Zheng Ziwen believes that there are two main reasons that have led him to this predicament

Oh no! There has been a murder!

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd on the street began to whisper and murmur among themselves

After speaking, he turned his head away, clasped his hands behind his back, and then raised his head to gaze at the sky at a forty-five degree angle

It was only after her figure had completely vanished that Zheng Ziwen held his head high and walked into the courtyard, then closed the door with a "bang".

No delivery

With the final loud and resounding shout, the courtyard finally fell silent

The screams emanating from the courtyard did not cease due to the quiet outside; rather, they intensified.

A dull thud sounded from the front door, and the courtyard gate was kicked open by someone. A robust and burly middle-aged man with a face full of flesh walked in.

Why am I so handsome ... ... what could be the reason ... ... ah ... ...

Seeing Zheng Ziwen packing up to leave, Liu the butcher immediately displayed a look of disdain: "Copper peas, bah! I see you are just the kind of tough meat that cannot be cut, cannot be cooked, cannot be chewed, and still has the nerve to brag about it, bah!"

Qinghe County is located in the Guanzhong region within the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Among the entire Qinghe Prefecture, it can be considered a rather bustling county town. As the sun rises, the crowds on the streets gradually increase, with people coming and going, bustling and lively, and various shouts and calls of vendors rising and falling, creating an extraordinary atmosphere.

Zheng Ziwen, you are shameless

At that moment, a piercing howl emanated from a siheyuan by the side of the street

As the saying goes, "A person's character is revealed by their drinking habits," and another saying states, "A word related to lust is like a knife above the head"

It seems that he is not truly repentant

Steamed cake, steamed cake ... ...

You usually wail and howl, which is bad enough, but now you have also offended the Cui family. Get out of here immediately, lest you bring trouble upon me!

However, none of this is important; what matters is that there is no remedy for regret in this world, and the sun will always rise the next day, regardless of whether you can see it or not

Before he could fully enjoy his shout, he suddenly saw a dark shadow flying towards him from the main door. Zheng Ziwen quickly crouched down, and he saw that the shadow "whoosh" flew over his head, then "bang" it crashed to the ground behind him, shattering into pieces.

The former caused him to realize that he had crossed over after waking up from drunkenness, while the latter resulted in him being penniless after the crossing, having to rely on three flatbreads each day to stave off hunger

His words were resonant, and if it weren't for his battered face, which betrayed his confidence, one would be compelled to cheer for him.

As soon as the words were spoken, the crowd of onlookers scattered like startled birds with a "whoosh"

Before the words were finished, he was interrupted by that person, who came before Zheng Ziwen, brandishing a cleaver in front of him.

Her hair is very long, cascading down to her waist in a flowing manner. Looking at the crowd of onlookers blocking the doorway, her fair, oval face displays an extraordinary sense of pride

Bang

... ...

Upon hearing her say this, Zheng Ziwen did not become angry; instead, he raised his head even higher

Do not try to get close to me
