Chapter 9 Change your way of life What is Tao Tie thinking about? Why did you suddenly decide to become a full-time student at the Missionary Academy? The reason was simple. He found that he had thought things too simply before. If he didn't have the golden finger [Knowing Everything], the "Taotie Visualization Method" of making up for deficiencies with food, and the method of using "Five Animal Exercises" to complete the 100-day foundation-building, he could have stayed at the dock and developed steadily. Wait until you grow into the Sword God of Shilipo before coming out. As soon as he comes out of the mountain, he will be invincible in the world! On the contrary, precisely because he had the golden finger [Knowing Everything], the "Taotie Visualization Method" of making up for deficiencies with food, and the method of completing the 100-day foundation-building with the "Five Animal Exercises", he should leave the dock, enter the missionary institute, and concentrate on practicing. Only in this way can we maximize the effects of [Knowing Everything] and [Taotie Visualization Method]! Instead of being unable to control anything like before. It was just a low-level sneaky act that was not even considered evil, but he almost lost his life. In addition, suddenly getting fifteen taels of silver in public is not necessarily a good thing. A prosperous and flourishing era is not all about peace and joy, but also about intrigues, intrigues, and filth and dirtiness.
The Shahe Gang is a gang with good and bad members, and the dock porters are also a mixed bag. Who knows if anyone will have any bad intentions? Tao Tie spent the money before anyone else had any bad intentions and put them into action, and he got a "talisman" in return, which was great. Formal students of the Missionary Academy, like county literature students and county martial arts students, enjoy the protection of the county government! Students can commit suicide on their own, and the county government and the missionary institute have no control over it. However, no forces, big or small, in Liuxian County can bully the formal students of the Missionary Academy at will, let alone harm the property and lives of the formal students of the Missionary Academy. Once such a thing happened, it was regarded as a provocation and rebellion against the missionary and the county government. Those who commit crimes and their forces will inevitably face a strong crackdown from the county government and the missionary institute! With the protection of the county government and the missionary house, Tao Tie did not have to worry about being forced into the water and luring water ghosts by Li Zeyuan, the wharf manager of the Shahe Gang, and immediately leaving the wharf, thus bringing about Li Zeyuan's revenge. Wearing the neat uniform of a preacher student, Tao Tie straightened his previously bent back, and walked home with his head held high, carrying the remaining eight taels of silver after paying the registration fee. "Candied haws!" “Tanghulu!” "Sweet and sour candied haws!" While walking on the road, Tao Tie suddenly remembered that Uncle Hui's two children were at the age when they were greedy. Tao Tie did not hesitate and immediately walked up to ask, "How much are the candied haws?" The guy selling candied haws was a young man. When he saw the uniform Tao Tie was wearing, a trace of envy flashed across his eyes. He immediately bowed slightly and said, "Two cents a string." Seeing the look in the eyes of the young man selling candied haws, Tao Tie felt more and more that his decision was right. He immediately took out four copper coins from his pocket and bought two strings of candied haws. How can one string be enough? Another string. One skewer per person! Picking up two strings of candied haws, Tao Tie did not delay on the road this time and walked back quickly. Don’t rush to go to Uncle Hui’s house next door. After all, Uncle Hui is indeed much older, but my young aunt is only in her early twenties.
My aunt was at home with her two young children, and it was inconvenient for Tao Tie, a strong man, to visit when Uncle Hui was not at home. A gentleman takes precautions before things go wrong and does not put himself in a suspicious situation. He does not put his shoes in a melon field or adjust his hat under a plum tree. This is the truth. He returned to his home first, put away the candied haws carefully, and then began to pack his clothes. He then took out the copper coins and silver coins that he had hidden in various corners. The missionary school has dormitories for regular students. Tao Tie spent seven taels of silver to pay a full year's tuition (five taels) and accommodation fees (two taels) just to avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles. It is also for safety reasons. Therefore, after saying goodbye to Uncle Hui's family, Tao Tie will immediately move into the missionary house to prevent Li Zeyuan, who might be angry and embarrassed, from having a chance to visit him! He quickly packed a package, took two sets of clothes that looked decent to him, and the money he had saved from working as a porter at the dock over the years, a total of more than 47 strings of copper coins. Seeing that it was almost time, Tao Tie went to the courtyard next door and knocked on the door of Uncle Hui's house. They have been neighbors for many years and have a very good relationship with Uncle Hui's family. The young aunt happily welcomed Tao Tie in. When the nephews and niece saw the candied haws in Tao Tie's hand, they were very happy and jumped up to him. Tao Tie grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, which seemed to emit a cold reflection when illuminated by the sunlight. It's noon. After killing the water ghost and resuming shipping at the dock, Uncle Hui was busy for most of the morning, and walked back home with a heavy heart. As soon as he entered the alley where his home was, Uncle Hui's face changed. Tiezi's voice was heard from the yard. "Hey hey hey..." My best friend was laughing, and his laugh was a little strange and creepy. "stop!" "Don't run!" Tiezi seemed to be roaring. "You can't run away!" "You can't escape my clutches!" "Just accept your death!" Tiezi's roar became louder, issuing a frightening threat. "do not want!" "No, Uncle Tiezi!" "Please let my sister go! Let my sister go!" "We don't dare anymore!"
"Please!" My own two children, adorable, well-behaved and sensible children, were running away and begging for mercy. "what!" "what!!!" They did not escape, their pleas for mercy did not work, and they screamed in agony. "Hey hey hey..." "Jie Jie Jie..." "Delicious! Absolutely delicious!" My friend was laughing wildly with his head raised, looking so proud that he no longer concealed his true colors. Uncle Hui's eyes were bulging, his hair stood on end, and he ran to his house angrily, pushed open the gate, and roared: "My friend! That's enough! Why did you tease Minmin and Jiaxuan? You made them roll on the ground and their clothes got dirty and torn. You're going to wash them and mend them?" Tao Tie, who was dressed as a demon, sprayed two streaks of soda on his face, stood in front of his nephew Jiaxuan and niece Minmin who were lying on the ground, with his hands on his hips and laughing wildly. Only then did Uncle Hui recognize that Tao Tie was wearing the official student uniform of the missionary college. Uncle Hui's mood changed immediately. The differences in details of daily life in the past two days, the seriousness of practicing the Five Animal Exercises, the words about dreams and salted fish, the changes this morning and the response of my best friend, my own doubts... All of these came to Uncle Hui's mind. Tao Tie glanced at Uncle Hui, then picked up the candied haws on the side and handed them to his nephew and niece. The candied haws were just there, unprotected and very easy to take. But he didn't say anything. Jiaxuan and Minmin were drooling with envy, but they didn't try to take it or fight for it. Instead, they patiently played games with the childish Tao Tie and waited for Tao Tie's permission. They are both really cute and sensible. "Go." Gently patting their little heads, Tao Tie motioned his nephew and niece to go into the house to eat candied haws, and then walked towards Uncle Hui who was standing at the gate of the courtyard. "Tiezi, you..." Uncle Hui opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't. He mumbled, "You are..." "Uncle Hui, I don't want to decide my own life. I can't decide for myself." Tao Tie grinned, smiled slightly, and said calmly, "I want to change the way I live." "Goodbye, Uncle Hui." (End of this chapter)
