Eternal Life: I'm Grinding Experience in the Patrol Division

"All the patrol guards of Houli Street Patrol Armor Division are warriors without exception. If he wants to become a patrol guard, it is not enough to just learn the Soul-Breaking Sword. He needs to continue to improve."

Song Changming touched the blade of the long sword with his fingers, feeling the cold edge on it. He knew very well that he was just starting out in martial arts and it was still a long way to go before he could achieve anything.

On the panel, the progress bar of the next stage of the Soul-Breaking Sword was as high as 500, which also proved that the difficulty was not comparable to the entry level.

In addition, Song Changming also took time to practice the powerful Bull Demon Skill copied on the second parchment.

But basically nothing was gained.

He lacked a series of medicinal resources necessary for strengthening the body. Just practicing according to the diagram, he could not achieve anything at all, and might even drain his body and leave a hidden danger of overdraft.

Therefore, Song Changming gave up temporarily after trying this set of powerful Bull Demon Skills and turned to focus on the Soul-Breaking Sword.

Days passed by.

Song Changming's daily life did not change because he started practicing martial arts.

No accidents or troubles came to him, everything was the same as before.

A small night watchman carrying fire, in the huge Donglai County, was no different from ordinary people, like a grain of sand on the seashore, very inconspicuous, no one would pay attention to his existence.

The year was approaching, and the climate was getting colder and colder.

A layer of white frost would freeze on the four high walls of the county city almost every night. Outside the city, there was no smoke and fire, and it was even more icy and snowy.

"Changming, do you want a warm basin?" The gray-haired Song mother came out of the firewood room and looked at Song Changming who was practicing sword in the yard, and asked.

"No need, mother, I'm not cold, I'll send them all to your room." Song Changming said with the sword put away.

His clothes were not too thick, and he was steaming all over.

Since he started to practice sword regularly and actively, his physique has become stronger, his qi and blood are sufficient, and his ability to resist cold is better than in previous years.

Now he really doesn't feel that cold.

As he said that, he strode to the wood room.

The so-called warm basin at home is actually the remaining stove fire from cooking, with at most some fine firewood added.

As for the charcoal fire, it is only affordable for families with a little money.

All the stove ash that is still warm is collected in the basin, covered, and carried to the inner room where Song's father is.

"Changming, the New Year is approaching, I have prepared some bacon, rice and two jars of wine. Come with me to visit your third sister tomorrow." In the inner room, Song's father saw Song Changming coming in and suddenly said.

"Visit the third sister?" Song Changming was stunned, looking at the rice, meat and wine that had been placed next to the carrying pole in the corner of the room, and vaguely thought of something.

Why do you need to prepare so many things carefully to visit your own daughter?

You should know that prices in the city have risen at the end of the year. With their family's financial resources, it is quite difficult to prepare such a door-to-door gift.

"Visiting Yu'er is one of the reasons, but more importantly, I want to thank Huai Ming. After all, without him, you can't work in the Patrol Armor Division.

Since Yu'er has married him, you must firmly grasp this relationship and maintain it well. In the future, you may be able to become a patrol guard with the help of the Zhao family. By then, you will have really made it!"

Song's father revealed the main purpose of this visit.

Song Changming knew the Zhao Huai Ming mentioned by Song's father. He was a patrol guard in the Patrol Armor Division of Houli Street.

His father, Zhao Dezhi, the head of the Zhao family, was a patrol chief in the Patrol Armor Division and a well-known figure in Houli Street.

At the beginning, for the job of the night watchman, Song's father took Song Changming to the Zhao family in a humble manner, but was rejected by the head of the family without mercy.

In fact, Zhao Dezhi was not satisfied with this marriage, and he didn't want to become a relative with such a poor family as the Song family.

But his son insisted on marrying Song Yu, so he reluctantly agreed.

Although Song Yu was Zhao Huaiming's first wife, she was not his legal wife, but only a concubine.

Zhao Huaiming himself could not decide the position of the legal wife, and Zhao Dezhi would not agree to his formal marriage.

Of course, Song's father was quite satisfied that the third sister Song Yu could marry into the Zhao family and become a concubine for Zhao Dezhi's son. For them, it was still considered marrying up.

Song Changming was able to successfully become a night watchman in the patrol department with the help of the third sister Song Yu and this brother-in-law.

However, in Song Changming's view, Song's father wanted to get close to the Zhao family, and this calculation was mostly in vain.

Brother-in-law Zhao Huaiming was easy to say, but the attitude of the head of the Zhao family was very clear. He was unwilling to associate with them at all. Even to the third sister Song Yu who married, the patrol chief was cold and cold, but he could not resist his son's request.

In the eyes of the other party, it is a shame to have a relationship with the Song family of Baiyi Street, and they don't want to mention it to others on weekdays.

"Dad, I can find a way to patrol the guards myself. I will send this gift, or ask my third sister to send it to my brother-in-law. Why do you have to go again?" Song Changming frowned and said.

"No, we are marrying up to the Zhao family. We must show our sincerity. How can we be so casual?" Song's father waved his hand and was determined to leave.

Song Changming sighed secretly and said no more.

The next day, Song's father walked in front, and Song Changming went out with a burden on his shoulder. In previous years, it was usually the most appropriate day to send gifts.

Firecrackers have been set off in various places in the county city, and gongs and drums have been beaten to welcome the New Year in advance. It is very lively.

The Zhao family is located in a good location on Houli Street. The large mansion with two entrances looks quite spacious and impressive.

Today, the Zhao family is crowded with people, and many people come to visit.

In addition to some relatives and friends of the Zhao family, there are also many gang leaders and local merchants active in Houli Street, who also sent people to do routine work and give gifts to win over friendships.

When Song's father approached the Zhao family, he was immediately stopped by the doorman.

Song's father hurriedly explained his identity and purpose.

The servant looked up and down at Song's father's clothes, shook his head and said, "Today, the master wants to meet too many people, so he can't spare time. I will take these gifts to the young master later. The person disappeared, please go back."

Song's father wanted to say something, but the servant had already greeted other people and ignored them.

"Dad, why don't you let my third sister lead us in." Song Changming asked.

Before coming, he thought he would be unwelcome, so he asked Song's father not to come, so as not to be treated coldly and humiliated for nothing.

"Forget it, don't trouble your third sister, leave the gifts there, and we will go back." Song's father hesitated for a while, and finally gave up seeing his daughter.

The Zhao family didn't like Song Yu marrying there in the first place. Helping Song Changming to enter the patrol force had already made things difficult for their daughter. So let's not see her today.

Song's father hunched his back and turned away.

Song Changming shook his head, put down the gift, took a look at the bustling Zhao Mansion, and walked away.

After returning, Song's mother realized something when she saw the two of them coming back so quickly, but didn't ask any more questions.

"Changming, there's some wine in the firewood room, let's drink it." Song's father suddenly said.

It can be seen that Song's father was not in a very good mood after returning from this trip.
