8 Gang Teens(1/2)
In the streams and river valleys under the iron cable bridge, several fishermen were waiting on bamboo rafts.
When they saw the child fall into the water, they immediately fished up the struggling child, sent it to the shore, and handed it back to his parents.
His parents hurriedly changed the wet cold clothes for the child. The uncles and uncles at home had already set up fires beside the iron cable cold bridge to burn the fire to drive away the cold, so as to avoid the cold and cause problems.
One after another, more than a dozen children mustered up the courage to get on the bridge. Unfortunately, more than half of them fell into the bridge and fell into the water, or were so scared that they cried loudly, and were afraid to get on the bridge.
Some were unlucky and of course some were lucky. There were two older, brave and strong twelve-year-old children who were a little older, brave and strong. They gritted their teeth and endured the cold and used enough strength to climb across the iron chain bridge.
Especially Zhang Tieniu, the son of the butcher, often eats pigs, has a lot of oil and water, thick arms and a round waist, and has great strength.
He roared and climbed up the iron cable cold bridge, using his hands and feet, and actually climbed over the iron cable cold bridge in one breath, attracting cheers from the people on the shore.
Su Chen was shocked to see that Zhang Tieniu was so crawling too quickly. He was born to be a piece of martial arts material.
"Iron beef, good! Daddy goes back and cooks one for you, no, cook two big pig legs to eat!"
Butcher Zhang's face turned red with excitement and shouted.
After crossing the Iron Cable Bridge, he became an outer disciple of the Yaowang Gang. From now on, he, Butcher Zhang's son, is no longer a low butcher boy, and finally becomes an outer disciple of the Yaowang Gang and will be developed in the future.
On the other side of the Iron Cable Bridge, several young men in white from the Medicine King Gang picked up the children who had crossed the Iron Cable Bridge and entered the Yaowang Villa.
Su Chen was excited and shocked to see it.
If you want to climb this iron chain bridge, it is difficult to say it is difficult and easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say
As long as you are as strong as Zhang Tieniu and be careful, you will have the opportunity to climb over and become an outer disciple of the Medicine King Gang.
Although Su Chen is thin, he is not as strong and strong as Zhang Tieniu. However, he has been doing heavy work since he was a child. He often goes up trees and dives in bird nests and goes down rivers to dive and fish. He is agile and flexible, and has rich experience in climbing.
The only worry is that he does not come with his family. If he falls into the river, he is soaked, has no clothes to change, and has no fire to keep warm, and he will freeze half his life if he doesn't die.
So there is only one opportunity, and this time you must pass it. Once you fail, you will have the opportunity to try to join the Medicine King Gang next year. It is difficult for me to find work in Gusu County, but I don’t know if I can hold on until this time next year.
Su Chen thought hard about countermeasures and suddenly looked up at the sun in the sky.
The sun rises later in the cold winter, and at noon, the sun is the warmest, and at that time you can avoid freezing hands and feet. The iron cable will be warmer if it is sunburned for a long time.
He felt scruples in his heart, so he calmed down.
If he walks around for too much, he will easily get hungry and exhausted. He simply found a clean stone under a big tree near the iron rope cold bridge to sit down and rest, and minimize his energy consumption.
Su Chen waited for a whole morning.
In the two or three hours in the morning, nearly fifty or sixty children tried to cross the iron chain bridge, but only more than ten children successfully climbed over.
Most children with too weak strength are eliminated, and the elimination rate is very high. Even many young and timid children do not dare to go up the bridge, and even if they are beaten and scolded by adults, they will not go up.
At noon, when the sun was the hottest in the sky, most of the ice on the iron chain melted silently.
At this time, the crowds of people gathered at the head of the iron chain were gradually becoming very rare. Children with courage to cross the bridge had already tried to go up the bridge, and children who did not dare to cross the bridge had long been taken away by disappointed adults.
Less than one-fifth of the young men who could pass through this iron chain cold bridge, or even fewer.
Su Chen looked at the sun from time to time.
The iron chain was sunk for a long afternoon, so it shouldn't be too cold.
He didn't dare to wait any longer, so he took out three large steamed buns of coarse grains from his arms, ate them in big mouthfuls, and took a mouthful of stream water under the bridge. He drank it before drinking it after a while, rested for a while, and nourished his strength.
Su Chen moved his hands and feet before he began to try to cross the iron chain bridge.
Can you join the Medicine King Gang to make a living and strive for a future? Just fight with all your strength!
Su Chen carefully held the iron chain as thick as an arm in his little hand. In an instant, his palm felt a chilling sound in his heart, frozen to the bone.
The iron chain was exposed to the sun for most of the day, but it was still so cold!
Su Chen was so cold that his palms trembled, and was startled, and quickly let go.
No wonder so many children can't climb over it. The iron chain is too cold. When you hold the iron chain with your bare hands, your palms will soon be frozen and unconscious. In the end, you can't catch them and fall into the valley by mistake.
Su Chen thought for a while, tore off two pieces of torn linen from the corner of his clothes, wrapped it in a layer on his two small hands, tied it tightly to prevent freezing.
The linen should not be wrapped too thickly, otherwise the fingers will not feel, it will easily slip and be unstable to grasp.
But it cannot be too thin, otherwise it will not be able to withstand the invasion of cold air.
Then, he grabbed the chain of the iron chain with both hands and feet again, and began to climb the cold iron chain.
Su Chen grabbed the cold and thrilling iron chain with both hands, and shivered from the cold. Fortunately, most of the ice and frost on the iron chain had been melted by the sun and was not so slippery.
The longer you stay, the more likely you are to be frostbite and numb. Once your hands and feet are frozen, it is almost certain to fall into the water.
Su Chen gritted his teeth, dared not delay or stop at all, and climbed forward quickly with his hands and feet.
After climbing more than ten feet away, halfway through the journey, his arms were shaking slightly, feeling very difficult.
If he hadn't just eaten three large steamed buns of coarse grains, fed them, and raised all his strength, he would have been unable to hold on to the river.
Su Chen was very worried, afraid that he would fall into the river if he accidentally fell into the river and devote himself to the dream of the Medicine King Gang trolling the world, but he was ruined on this iron cable cold bridge, and if he fell into the river, he would definitely be frozen to death.
Su Chen thought of an idea in a hurry, and quickly wrapped his legs around the iron chain, then untied himself with a hemp rope that was trapped on the waist of his pants, tied one end to his waist, and set a trap on the iron chain at the other end. If he fails, he can hang it on the iron chain with a hemp rope so that he won't fall into the river.
The four Qingyi swordsmen guarding the entrance of the Iron Cable Bridge stood for most of the day and were already exhausted. They were sitting by the Iron Cable Bridge chatting, but they didn't go to see Su Chen.
The iron chain bridge, which was only twenty feet away, almost exhausted Su Chen's physical strength and finally climbed to the other side.
Su Chen was exhausted and barely stepped onto the other side of the bridge, his hands and feet were almost exhausted.
Su Chen hurriedly untied the hemp rope he tied to the iron chain to avoid being discovered by the swordsmen of the hospital guards. Maybe he was disqualified or he might be punished to climb again.
His strength has been exhausted. If he is punished to climb again, he will definitely not have the chance to enter Yaowang Villa.
Su Chen felt guilty and followed the hundreds of steps in front of the mountain gate and entered Yaowang Villa.
A young senior brother in white standing on the stone steps, holding the sword in both hands, looked at him coldly, and said nothing, taking him to an earth-walled courtyard.
The young man in white told Su Chen to let Su Chen and the young men stay in this yard without running around, waiting for tomorrow's Medicine King to help the new disciples divide the hall, and then left on his own.
...
At the entrance of this courtyard, there were also two young swordsmen guarding the courtyard. The walls were high and the courtyard was deep, and people could not enter or exit the courtyard.
"One more!"
"It's not just the local buns from some village. Seeing the tattered zipper clothes he wore, it's so shabby!"
There were many children and teenagers gathered in the courtyard. Seeing Su Chen dressed in a fisherman, they couldn't help laughing at him.
Su Chen came back to his senses and looked into the courtyard. He was surprised to find that nearly one hundred young men had gathered in the courtyard. They all passed the test of the iron cable cold bridge and entered the new disciples of the Medicine King Gang.
The children in the large yard gathered in groups of three or five, with extremely excited expressions.
Su Chen ignored the ridicule and did not want to be troublesome. He lowered his head and went to a quiet corner in the courtyard, carefully looking at the children in the courtyard.
All the teenagers were between nine and thirteen years old. From their clothes, expressions and temperaments, it was obvious that they had different backgrounds and were divided into several distinct groups.
Among them, there were ten young men and girls wearing gorgeous silk clothes, sable coats, soap-skin boots. They had outstanding temperament and arrogant expressions. They looked disdainful to other civilians from Gusu County and children from the townships in the courtyard.
They seem to be rich families or powerful children in the county town.
Su Chen was surprised to see that one of the delicate girls wearing thick sable fur was the daughter of the wealthy Li businessman he met at Ximen Wharf. He seemed to be named Li Jiao.
With Li Jiao's delicate body and no power, she must have climbed the iron chain Cold Bridge. I'm afraid her father thought of other ways and sent her to Yaowang Villa.
Children from other counties around were also whispering in a low voice, talking about these gorgeous teenagers who were either rich or noble, had a background backer, and had a close relationship with the senior executives of the Medicine King Gang.
"That is Wang Fugui, the young master of the Wang family! I heard that he is a relative of the Wang County Magistrate, and he is a cousin with the county Magistrate. He is the most powerful child in our county town! He will definitely become an inner disciple and a core disciple of the Medicine King Gang!"
"Yes, there is also Wei Han, a relative of the Lord of the King of the Gang, who is said to be an inner disciple of the inner sect!"
"That is Li Jiao, the eldest lady of the Li family rice shop in the city! Although she is not from a powerful family, she has several rice shops at home, and a very rich and wealthy family! I don't know how much money her father has used to send her in."
"They should be all inner disciples, rich and powerful, and much better than our outer disciples! Everyone knows it, don't offend them, otherwise they will be in trouble in the gang!"
Wang Fugui greeted the newly-entertained civilian boys around him with a decent attitude, and enjoyed the pleasing of the boys.
Wei Han hugged his arms and looked cold with a proud look, and no one paid attention to it.
Around these ten young girls in gorgeous clothes are children from some civilian families in the county.
Most of these children are wearing ordinary clothes. Although they are not old, they have already learned to attract sexual intercourse and observe their expressions.
Zhang Tieniu, the fat son of Zhang Butcher Zhang, also mixed in because he was big and thick, and looked like a silly head, but he seemed quite a bit out of the ordinary people.
Like Master Wang Fugui, Master Wei Han and others, they basically have inner disciples of the Medicine King Gang, and they are undoubtedly the most popular among other common people's children. They want to make a familiar face and make a good relationship when they first started.
The last few are poor children from dozens of towns and villages around the county town, most of whom are short-term workers from tenants, fishermen and hunters, and farmers and woodcutters' families, honest and dull.
They were not even qualified to be in a state of strength, and were excluded from the outermost part of the large yard, and were bullied and swallowed their anger, not daring to cause trouble.
Su Chen was naturally one of them, so he consciously hid in the corner of the courtyard to rest and recover his strength, and did not squeeze through the crowd to make it boring.
He watched the teenagers in the courtyard chatting about relationships like adults, and did not understand what inner and outer disciples were. He felt bored and stayed alone in the courtyard, thinking about his thoughts.
He ran away from home and had no work to do in the county town, so he thought about coming to the Medicine King Gang, just to seek a good way out.
Of course, I don’t care about the inner disciples or outer disciples. As long as I can have a bite of food in the Medicine King Gang, I don’t want to please anyone.
In the afternoon, several more children were sent to the courtyard, and more than 100 children and teenagers were gathered in the courtyard.
In the evening, the gate of Yaowang Villa was closed, and the recruitment of new disciples in the twelfth month of this year was closed. If you want to join Yaowang Gang, you can only wait next year.
