Vol 10 Chapter 30: alive

As soon as he saw those old men, Cao Gewen immediately stepped forward and said to the old man in the lead: "Uncle Niu, this is our deputy gang leader, and the gang leader has given the warehouse to the deputy gang leader. Starting today, You have to eat all of the deputy gang leader, the gang leader said, everything here is the deputy gang leader’s decision, if the deputy gang leader is willing to use you, you stay, if the deputy gang leader doesn’t want to use you, you just follow I'll go back to the gang, and everything will be up to the deputy gang leader." After speaking, he stepped aside.
When those old men heard Cao Gewen say this, they were all stunned. They knew that there was an additional deputy leader in the gang, but they had never seen it before. They were too old to go out to fight and kill. Looking at the warehouse here, I took some spirit stones from Hukou, but I didn't expect that the warehouse now belongs to this deputy leader, which made them a little at a loss for a while, but the leading cow The old man reacted immediately, and he immediately said to Guan Lei: "See the deputy leader." The others also quickly said to Guan Lei: "See the deputy leader." After they finished speaking, they saluted Guan Lei in unison .
Guan Lei nodded, and then said solemnly: "You don't have to be polite, all of them are from the same gang, don't be so polite, let's go, go in and talk." After that, he went to the room where the old men came out. , the old men quickly followed Cao Gewen and followed.
When he entered the room, Guan Lei realized that it was not a very big room. There was a simple wooden shelf in the room, covered with some dry straw, which seemed to be the place where these old men usually rested, except for Aside from a wooden shelf, there is only a wooden table on the ground, and there is nothing else.
Guan Lei glanced at the room and didn't say anything, then turned to the old men and said, "I don't know much about this warehouse. Please show me around the warehouse." When the old men heard Guan Lei say this, They responded quickly, then took Guan Lei out and started to introduce Guan Lei about the warehouse. They have been in this warehouse for a long time and are very familiar with it.
There are fifty-seven rooms in this warehouse. The area of ​​each room is not too small. The stacks are full of divine leaves. These divine leaves are very useful. The divine tree leaves leaves twice a month. When the leaves are falling, the ordinary people here in the tree world are almost all dispatched to collect the leaves. They will collect the leaves, scald them with hot water, and then dry them. The leaves can be preserved for a long time, and the leaves of the gods are the food of the ordinary people here in the tree world.
Those ordinary people will grind the sun-dried leaves, add some food to make a kind of cake, and sometimes add some vegetables in it. Of course, they can also boil the sun-dried leaves with water again. Let him soften for a while, then add food and cook it, or directly pickle the re-cooked leaves with salt and eat them as pickles. In short, the leaves are here in the tree world. , and the life of an ordinary person is quite the same, and there is absolutely no way to separate it.
And what is stored in this warehouse is the dried leaves of the gods, and there are still a lot of them. Of course, this kind of thing is also the cheapest. You don’t think that this warehouse is almost all the leaves of gods, but these things add up, it is not worth it. A few dollars, and the reason why the Tieyi Gang saves so many divine leaves is to sell them out. Don’t look at everyone here collects divine leaves, but some people don’t collect enough divine leaves for their own use. For example, in some taverns, they will use the leaves of the gods to make wine, so the amount of the leaves of the gods is very large, and on the two days when the leaves of the gods fall every month, people from all gangs will let everyone collect the leaves of the gods. The more the better, this is also a source of income for the gang. Just like the leaves in this warehouse, they are actually collected by the people of the Iron Cloth Gang, then swayed and dried, and sent here. If someone needs the leaves, You can buy from them, and finally pick up the goods here at this warehouse. This warehouse does this. Although the income is not a lot, it is considered to be some worthless selling and buying, so the Tieyi Gang has been doing it.
There is nothing else in this warehouse except to store the leaves of the gods, but there are many rooms, but the houses here are not very good, but there is a little advantage, that is, it never rains here, gods It will not rain here in the tree world, because above them is the divine tree, which means that everyone lives under the divine tree, so of course it will not rain. The water used by the people in the divine tree world is generally divided into two parts. There are two kinds, one is the running water in some rivers on the ground, and the other is the water that the people here use the magic method. In the tree world, people cannot use groundwater. Because in the world of the gods, the groundwater is for the gods. If you dig a basement underground, but build an underground secret room, no one will manage it, but if you use groundwater, let each If the people of the sect know it, they will definitely clean up you, and they will also punish you very heavily, so over time, no one here will use the groundwater for the people here. This is also a rule here in the tree world. .
It is precisely because it does not rain here in the Divine Tree Realm. Every family will grow things on their roofs. Because the roof area is small, they will use the wood technique to make the plants grow faster. , will also use water-based magic to water the planted things, and the reason why the warehouse does not plant things on the roof is because this is the warehouse of the Iron Cloth Gang, so there is no need to do so.
After learning about the situation here in the warehouse, Guan Lei said solemnly: "Well, you can pack a room for me here, I will live here in the future, just find me a room in the house behind, you guys Pack up, I'll go back and get things." The old men replied, and then Guan Lei found a room and asked the old men to clean up, and he led Cao Gewen back. This time he didn't call a car, but Cao Gewen followed behind Guan Lei without saying a word. After walking for a while, Guan Lei suddenly glanced at Cao Gewen and said, "Cao Gewen, how will you follow me in the future?" He said this When he spoke, his expression was very calm, but Cao Gewen was stunned. He looked at Guan Lei a little puzzled, not knowing what Guan Lei meant.
Guan Lei looked at Cao Gewen, and then said solemnly: "I believe you know something about my situation, I just joined the gang, although my strength is not bad, and there is no conflict with the gang leader, but I don't I will gain the trust of the sect master, because I am a loose cultivator who came back from Jihai, the sect master cannot completely believe me, and I don’t want to argue with the sect master, but I also need some subordinates to help me do some things, and if I let If other people in the gang follow me, the gang leader may think that I am wooing people, which will cause conflicts between me and the gang leader, so I am going to ask you to help me with things, as long as you are willing, I will tell the gang leader This matter, of course, I will not let you do things in vain, your spiritual stones will not be short, and I can teach you to practice, you can think about it."
Cao Gewen raised his head abruptly. This was the first time he raised his head since he met Guan Lei. Before, he had always kept his head down, even when facing the old people in the warehouse. He also lowered his head, as if his head would never be raised. Even if he occasionally raised his head, he would immediately lower his head once, and he would not keep raising his head to talk to people at all.
Cao Gewen stared blankly at Guan Lei, and after a while he lowered his head again, and then said, "Deputy leader, I have no way to practice, my talent is not good." When Cao Gewen said this, His tone was very calm. It was a kind of calm that had already died. From his words, it could be heard that he had no hope for his own practice.
Guan Lei glanced at Cao Gewen, then he smiled slightly: "Someone told me that in this world, there is no one who is not suitable for training. The reason why he is not suitable for training is that he has not found the right way to practice. , you are indeed unsuitable to practice the exercises you are practising now, that does not mean that you are not suitable to practice, just because this type of exercise is not suitable for you, I can give you a chance now, if you really want If you follow me to practice, I guarantee that your strength will not be worse than anyone else, how about it?"
When Cao Gewen heard what Guan Lei said, his eyes lit up, he raised his head once and looked at Guan Lei, Guan Lei also looked at him this time, and then smiled slightly: "Give it to yourself once. Take a chance, along the way, you can think slowly until you reach the main hall. If you make a decision at the main hall, you can tell me, if you go to the main hall and you have not made a decision, Then I will treat you as giving up, then I will pack up and go directly back to the warehouse, you are still living your current life, although this kind of life will not make you live better, it will not let you You're worse off, it's all up to you."
After finishing talking, Guan Lei stopped looking at Cao Gewen, but walked slowly towards the direction. Cao Gewen lowered his head at this time, he walked forward without saying a word, but his breathing became It was extremely heavy, his heart was tumbling, he was thinking about everything about himself, he was living now, his family, this kind of life, he was used to it before, he thought he was already used to this kind of life, but when he was closed When Lei put such an opportunity in front of him, Cao Gewen suddenly found that his heart, which had been dead, came to life again and again, and began to beat violently.
Without that man, they don't want to be able to stand in front of others with infinite glory one day. Without that man, they are willing to always be inferior to others. Even if they can't become superiors, they don't want to be inferior to others. They only have such an energy in their hearts. A man is a real man. Cao Gewen's heart has long lost that energy. He has long felt that he can't be regarded as a man, or even a person. He feels that he is a walking dead. Every day I live for myself, for my family, and I have to do things that he didn't like at first. He thought he was already dead, but now, he involuntarily reached out and touched his chest, feeling himself With a violent heartbeat, he found that he was still alive!
