Considering the importance of speed in battle, Zhang San did not care about the ghosts in the river. After handing his horse to an old boatman at the ferry for care, Zhang San took advantage of the cover of moonlight and crossed the Yangtze River alone with his sword.

As blood flowed and the sun rose, the dusty man finally reached the other side. It was at the moment he stepped on the ground that he truly arrived in Yangzhou Prefecture!

Huangcun is where Zhang San is resting at this moment. As a village close to the Yangtze River, the people of Huangcun naturally rely on water for their livelihood. Judging from the post reports before the Great Jin Dynasty, the development of Huangcun is also remarkable. Moreover, the rosy fish and white sturgeon, which are unique to this place, are precious ingredients that are popular in the Great Jin Dynasty.

Unlike later generations with river bridges and cross-sea tunnels, in this strange world, crossing the Yangtze River is a pipe dream without the escort of warships.

Of course, this only applies to ordinary people. Since practitioners call themselves extraordinary people, they are naturally different from ordinary people in the way they behave.

What ordinary people think of as restricted areas or restrictions may not necessarily be able to restrict extraordinary people.

However, if he didn't have the ability to fly with a sword, and wanted to force his way into the woman, even with Zhang San's current level of cultivation, he would be exhausted after a battle across the river.

In order to retain enough combat power when facing the ghost plague, this is why Zhang San decided to rest.

The air was fresh and the sky was cloudless. It should have been a good day for traveling, but for some reason Zhang San, who had just rested at the village chief's house, was reluctant to leave.

Such indecision is in stark contrast to his usual decisive image. It seems that in such troubled times, even this small village chief who should have lived in peace in a corner can hardly have peace.

"One penny!"

"Sir, this is not about money. You have raised it for so many years. This Angry Chicken is my lifeblood. If you buy it and raise it, I will reluctantly give it up. But I see that you don't look like someone you would raise..."

"One tael of silver!"

Should we say that he is worthy of being Zhang San? Without waiting for the old village chief to finish his explanation, he directly raised the price tenfold. If it weren't for Gu Xuanyan's backing, I don't know if he could still speak so generously at this time.

"Sir, this is really not about money..."

"Ten taels of silver!"

According to the purchasing power of Dajin, one tael of silver is equivalent to 600 yuan. If it were today, ten taels of silver would be 6,000 RMB.

Using one month's income to buy a chicken, no matter what kind of chicken it is (you know), is obviously not a small amount of money.

The moment he heard the price, even though Huang Silang was the head of the village, his heart couldn't help but tremble a little. However, in just a moment, the morality in his heart overwhelmed his greed.

Faced with Zhang San's increase in the bet, he no longer responded. He closed his lips and shook his head to indicate his disagreement. Then Huang Silang turned his head to the side.

While not going to see Zhang San, he also stopped going to see the angry chicken in the yard.

Faced with this situation, although Zhang San didn't say much, he couldn't help but look up to the old man in his heart.

A great contemporary scholar, Cao Xuequan, once said, "People who are loyal are usually butchers, and people who are unfaithful are usually scholars." The fact that the old man has managed to hold on until this point can be regarded as the utmost he has done.

But after their hearts have been shaken, is the friendship between them still complete?

Zhang San has always been a considerate person. As long as it does not violate his own "Tao", he hopes that everyone's wishes in the world can come true.

Based on this principle of life, when others are faced with choices and cannot make up their minds, Zhang San will also use his own way to help them get rid of their confusion.

Now is a great example!

"I'll give you ten taels..."

He seemed surprised at Zhang San's memory, but when he heard this familiar number, the old man made up his mind. The moment he turned around, he decided to end the topic.

Faced with money and morality, he finally chose morality. However, after hearing the second half of Zhang San's words, Huang Silang's inner morality became riddled with holes.

"……gold!"

******* “Shua~~”

As the sound of sharpening the knife ended, Huang Silang first tested the blade with his thumb, and then spoke in a deep voice to the angry chicken in the courtyard.

"Don't blame me, old friend. He gave too much!"

"Unconsciously, we have known each other for six years. Our fate has come to an end today. Don't worry, I can sharpen this knife very quickly. It will only take a moment. It won't be painful at all!"

As if he was looking for a suitable excuse for his behavior, after finishing his words, Huang Silang picked up a kitchen knife and walked towards the Angry Chicken.

In front of the ten taels of gold, how could Huang Silang still have the kindness he had before? "Big brother, is Grandpa going to make Da Huang into Kung Pao Chicken? Da Huang has done nothing wrong. He was chatting with me two days ago. Why do you want to kill him today?"

Looking at the yellow-haired child beside him who was not even as tall as his waist, Zhang San did not explain his question, but asked with interest.

"Xiao Huang, you said that Da Huang talked to you. What did it say to you specifically? Can you tell me, big brother?"

No matter which world the children are from, they have never experienced the hustle and bustle of the world and always have an innocent heart. Before they establish the concept of good and evil, they can only simply judge good and bad.

Because of this purity, they are very sensitive to what is good and what is bad, which is why Xiao Huang trusts Zhang San; at the same time, because of this purity, children can often get in touch with many things that adults cannot.

Just like the chicken boss named Dahuang in the yard!

"Da Huang told me not to tell the bad guys, otherwise it would bring trouble to it, but Big Brother is a good man and will definitely keep the secret."

"Brother, put your ear close to me and I'll tell you something... That day I saw Da Huang wearing Grandpa's clothes, and then he flew to my window and asked me if he looked like a human. Isn't it amazing?"

Children, especially sensible human cubs, always have privileges. Faced with such beings, Zhang San will not be stingy with his smile.

Looking at Xiao Huang's excited expression as if he had discovered a new continent, Zhang San also asked in cooperation.

"What did you say, Xiao Huang?"

"Of course it does. Big brother, you don't know. It looked exactly like..."

After hearing this, Zhang San could no longer remember what Xiao Huang said afterwards, but he now understood one thing.

That's why Xiao Huang's luck was missing a big piece. It turned out that it was stolen by the big rooster. It's a pity that that thing cannot be bought back with ten taels of gold!
