Chapter 68: The Liver and Gallbladder Reflect Each Other
Chu Yang fainted.
Brother just wanted to use these few swords as a lead, that's all. How did he sell out the dreams of all the warriors in the world? It was just selling one sword, no need to be so serious, right? Brother, I sold this sword and became the enemy of all the warriors in the world?
If it's really like this... then these days are truly unbearable!
Chu Yang was speechless for a long time, and finally came up with a reason: "Gu Du Xing, why did you pawn the treasure sword?"
"I... I want to eat!" Gu Du Xing's mind was a bit slow to react, and he didn't know why the other person brought this up.
"Yes, you want to eat. So you pawn your beloved sword that's more precious than life." Chu Yang nodded and pointed at his own nose: "But what about me? Have you ever thought that I also need to eat? If I don't eat, I'll starve to death too! I'm the same as you, understand?"
"I don't sell swords, I have no other skills, what do I eat? Do I eat people?" Chu Yang asked with a fierce tone. The more he spoke, the more he felt justified and righteous, and he even loudly questioned him. His saliva almost sprayed onto Gu Du Xing's face.
What a load of nonsense! The sign outside their door is made of pure gold and silver, how can they worry about food and drink? However, Gu Du Xing obviously didn't notice or remember, looking at Chu Yang's excited expression, he couldn't help but be tongue-tied.
It just occurred to me that this guy in front of me also needs to eat.
"You may not have shown any martial prowess, but I still can't see through your cultivation." Gu Du Xing finally found a reason: "With your skills, why don't you go steal or rob? You should be able to fill your belly at least. That's better than selling such a divine sword!"
"Let your mother fart!" Chu Yang's face turned red with rage, his voice loud and clear: "Am I, Chu Yang, this kind of person? Your words are an insult to my persistence, a blasphemy to my spirit, a corruption of my will, a destruction of my character! You look like a dignified person, but you're actually a bunch of thieving scoundrels! Spit!"
The last word was almost spat out.
Gu Du Xing's face was covered with spittle.
Gu Du Xing asked Chu Yang the same question that Chu Yang had just asked Gu Du Xing, but was scolded by Gu Du Xing at that time. Now that Gu Du Xing asked, Chu Yang returned it with interest, and his mood became greatly refreshed.
Damn it, who dares to scold Teng Long Jian Wang? I dare!
Gu Du Xing thought of his own answer just now, and suddenly felt a little ashamed. Yes, what one does not desire for oneself, do not impose on others, if he himself wouldn't do it, how could this upright young man in front of him do it?
He sat in the shop, from top to bottom, inside and out, all decorated with silver stolen by Chu Yang, and couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration: it turned out that the other party was just like himself, a man with perseverance and ambition!
It turns out that my way is not lonely after all. Who said I was stupid? Doesn't this young man in front of me have the same path as mine? Although Gu Du Xing was scolded by the other party without mercy, he suddenly felt that the young man in front of him was lovely.
There is a kind of like-minded and congenial feeling.
But... even if it's just for food... Gu Du Xing looked at the two swords and two knives, his heart ached to the extreme, his facial muscles twitched, thinking that such divine weapons would actually be sold to others, it was really heartbreaking.
This is not a pawnshop. Once sold, it's completely lost.
"This matter... can we discuss it from a long-term perspective?" Gu Du Xing said cautiously: "Chu brother, as sword lovers, we should find a good home for such a precious sword. If it's just about money, well, my intention is to say that we can barely get by..."
Chu Yang rolled his eyes and let out a sigh.
"What should I do then?"
Gu Du Xing was stunned.
"Or so. I'll give you this sword, and you can sell it, okay?" Chu Yang's eyes sparkled with a sudden idea, and he couldn't help but feel excited: "Anyway, you don't have anything to do, just stay here and be my partner. This way, you won't need to pawn the treasure sword, and you'll also have food and a place to live. Most importantly, you can find a suitable owner for these divine weapons, so they won't be humiliated. This is a win-win situation, what do you think, Brother Gu?"
"Huh?" Gu Du Xing felt a bit dizzy. He really couldn't think of how he had ended up agreeing to become a partner in someone else's shop.
But... it seems that this is also a feasible plan. I came out myself to escape; well, since it's an escape... why not escape there?
Thinking of the reason why he ran away from home this time, Gu Du Xing couldn't help but let out a deep sigh. Alas... what should I do?
"What? You don't agree?" Chu Yang asked anxiously.
"It's not that I disagree, but..." Gu Du Xing seemed to have an unspoken concern.
"Since you don't disagree, then it's settled!" Chu Yang interrupted him and directly concluded: "Brother Gu, from now on we are one family! From now on, whatever you say goes in this store! You say sell to whom, then sell to whom; I actually don't understand much about this business..."
Chu Yang's words were indeed true, he really didn't understand this line of work. But that didn't stop him from using it to keep Gu Du Xing around.
As long as you stay, can you still escape from my palm? If something happens in the store, don't you care? You bastard, if you don't care, I'll give these few swords to the beggars and see how painful it is for you. Anyway, I won't feel any pain, with the Nine Calamity Swords, there will be as many as this thing has...
Thus, under Chu Yang's deception and trickery, Gu Du Xing stayed behind in a daze, becoming Chu Yang's partner. This guy was obsessed with swords, but having grown up this way, it was still his first time going out. Moreover, since he had sneaked out, naturally he didn't have any experience of the jianghu. Falling into the eyes of Chu Yang, an old fox who had experienced two lifetimes, he couldn't refuse...
Have to say, being young is good... uh, easy to deceive...
Naturally, the biggest reason is that Gu Du Xing couldn't see through Chu Yang's cultivation. In his heart, anyone whose cultivation he couldn't see through must have a higher level of skill than himself. To be an underling to such a strong person and still achieve his goal of escaping his family... didn't seem too bad, not humiliating at all.
After wolfing down the white rice served by Chu Yang, he had already quickly cleaned up a room and stuffed him inside.
After a night, Gu Du Xing asked Chu Yang with doubt: "Something is wrong..."
"What's up?" Chu Yang rubbed his temples. He thought to himself, "Could it be that this guy's brain has suddenly become useful?"
"Brother Chu, you only mentioned food and lodging, but what about wages?" Gu Du Xing stared with his eyes wide open: "Can't just make me work for nothing, can it? I'm at least a swordsman... shouldn't be less than a few taels of silver per month?" Looks like this guy still has some discontent in his heart...
Chu Yang suddenly became dizzy: "Brother Gu, in your room, there are two cabinets, have you seen them?"
Gu Du Xing nodded slightly.
"That cabinet contains all my family's valuables. It's not locked." Chu Yang had a sincere expression: "Brother Gu, although we've just met and don't know each other well, it feels like we're old friends. I'm putting my life and everything in your hands."
Gu Du Xing was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and ran back inside.
After a while, a cry of surprise came from the house!
He then saw this Mr. Gu walking out with his hands shaking, moved beyond words: "Brother Chu... you, you actually trust me so much..."
