Chapter 173 Storytelling

There were more people eating than Li Hongyan had imagined.

The dining hall was divided into two sides, half for them and the other half for the remaining people in Jicheng.

Many of them were elderly people in their sixties and seventies. They would die on the way to escape from Jicheng! They would die anyway, so it would be better to stay in Jicheng and die at home, so as not to be exposed in the wilderness.

Or they were disabled people with missing arms and legs who could not travel far. There were also a few women with children. They had little chance of survival if they traveled far, so they could only leave their fate to God and stay in Jicheng to see if they could survive.

In such a big city, some fled and some died, leaving only two or three hundred people, which made Shi Feizhe sigh.

Yangzhou was even more miserable.

What a sin!

While eating, the old, weak, sick and disabled looked at the forty-five warriors on Shi Feizhe's side vigilantly.

Any one of those warriors could kill them all.

However, I think if they were given food, they would not be killed, right?

"Ahem..." Shi Feizhe saw that he had almost finished eating, so he cleared his throat and attracted everyone's attention.

"Today, I invited all the fellow villagers from Jicheng to come. There is nothing big, just a storytelling session." Shi Feizhe stood up and said, walking to the door of the canteen. People on both sides of this position can see.

"What is a storytelling session? It's just chatting about family matters and telling your own stories. If you tell it well, everyone will applaud. If you tell it badly, everyone should not laugh at you!" Shi Feizhe said.

Naturally, no one responded to his words.

Whether it was the old, weak, sick and disabled people in Jicheng or the people of the Sacred Heart Church, they didn't know what it meant?

"Tell your own story. I'll start with myself." Shi Feizhe saw that it was a bit cold, and he didn't know if this story would be useful, but he wanted to try.

Encountering Xiongba and Shi Laomo made Shi Feizhe realize that there were still some normal people in the world. But there were too few of them, and they were even pushed into a corner by the world and were not noticed by others.

"I was in Qiuyang City at first. Since I can remember, I have been hungry and hungry. I haven't had a full meal for a long time." Shi Feizhe said.

He talked about his own experience, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

No one thought that the real warrior in front of him also went hungry like this.

The same experience can resonate with everyone the most.

"Later, by coincidence, I practiced martial arts, but I didn't practice well, and was chased like a dog. The world is full of real people and Zhoutian warriors. You can't avoid them at all. You meet them everywhere."

"I almost practiced someone else's big medicine technique, and my life was ruined. The world is too difficult."

This sentence is too difficult, which resonated with many warriors of the Holy Heart Sect.

Before joining the Holy Heart Sect, they were all warriors at the bottom. How could they not know whether the world is difficult?

"Later, for the technique, I went to Kongtong Mountain to gather..." Shi Feizhe picked up some of his experiences and told them.

He spoke vividly and interestingly, especially the unlucky experience along the way, which made people on both sides feel relaxed.

When real warriors encounter things, there is not much difference between them and them. We are all human beings.

"Later, I opened a martial arts academy to teach people in the martial arts world, so that they wouldn't have to practice martial arts so hard. As a result, I beat up the younger ones, and an older one came out. He didn't follow the moral code of martial arts and chased me away like a dead dog."

"Finally, I came to Jicheng to find my friends, but I didn't find them, so I came to the Sacred Heart Church."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I feel that my martial arts career is really too bad." Shi Feizhe said self-deprecatingly.

"Ha~" A child couldn't help laughing. It was really interesting what Shi Feizhe said.

As soon as the child laughed, he was covered by the adult holding him.

"Hey, my story is over. Do any of you want to share your own story?" Shi Feizhe asked.

He looked at the warriors of the Sacred Heart Church. They all lowered their heads to look at the patterns on the dining table. He looked at the fellow villagers in Jicheng. The fellow villagers were also very afraid and didn't seem to dare to say anything.

Normally, who would be willing to listen to them?

It's hard for martial artists to get along in the martial arts world, but is it easy for ordinary people?

Warriors can still become stronger. Ordinary people like them have no money and power and cannot get close to warriors. Who cares about them?

Xiping looked at Shi Feizhe. He thought Shi Feizhe was very interesting. He was different from the people of the Sacred Heart Sect he had seen, and he was also different from the martial artists he had seen.

He was about to say something when he heard Li Hongyan next to him say, "I'll do it."

Li Hongyan said, "When I was moving the corpse today, I met someone who looked very much like me when I was a child."

He talked about his childhood experience and what he saw today, and then said, "I think something is wrong!"

Shi Feizhe looked at him and said, "That's a good point."

He didn't expect that Li Hongyan, who was moving the corpse today, would have such feelings.

"We have finished talking about the martial artists, so let's ask the fellow villagers of Jizhou City to talk!" Shi Feizhe turned his head and looked at the old, weak, sick and disabled people in Jizhou.

These people naturally didn't dare to look at Shi Feizhe's eyes and lowered their heads.

Shi Feizhe had no choice but to call someone up at random.

The man came to Shi Feizhe, trembling with fear, and was several feet away from Shi Feizhe. He wanted to kneel when he saw Shi Feizhe.

In the past, they also had to kneel when they saw the city lord. But he didn't kneel down, because Shi Feizhe helped him up.

"Fellow villager, how can I call you that!" Shi Feizhe asked.

"The old man's surname is Tang." Old man Tang said.

"The old man is not young, do you have any life experience to share with us young people in the martial arts world!" Shi Feizhe said again.

"No, old man." Old man Tang said, shaking all over.

"Uh..." Shi Feizhe saw him like this and knew that he couldn't organize any words at all. He thought for a while and said, "How many years has old man Tang been in Jicheng?"

"Sixty-two years!"

"Almost all his life in Jicheng?"

"Almost."

"Do you have a partner at home?"

"She died of illness."

"..." Shi Feizhe wisely didn't ask the question "Do you have any family members?"

"When old man Tang was young, what did he do for a living?" Shi Feizhe changed the subject.

"When I was young, I was a carpenter. Now I am old and can't do it anymore. I can only weave some willow branches and sell them to make a living." Maybe Shi Feizhe spoke more gently, which made old man Tang relax.

"Do carpenters make money?" Shi Feizhe asked, "It's a technical job."

"What technical job? It's almost like begging. If you have work to do, it's the reward from the master. After finishing the work, you have to thank the master for the food and give him gifts. Sometimes, the work you do is not as much as the gifts you give." Old man Tang shook his head and said.

"Huh? There are people who lose money when doing work?" This was the first time Shi Feizhe knew about this.

"Many jobs seem to have big profits, but there are many middlemen who refer the work to other people. Apart from the material fee and the gift to the boss, you have to keep a share for these middlemen. This kind of work can easily make you lose money."

"But if you don't do it, they will exclude you in the future, and no one will introduce you to work in the future."

"If you do it, you have to follow their rules. If something goes wrong, you will be blamed. The middlemen and the boss are fine, but we workers will suffer."

"The old man is still cautious, but some colleagues are unlucky!" Tang Laoben talked about their business and was very knowledgeable.

The storytelling club is full of stories.
