Chapter 14: Beating the Gangsters
Early the next morning, at the end of an ancient street in Shencheng, a young man selling medicines appeared, mixed in with various stalls selling antiques, milk tea, fried skewers, calligraphy and paintings, sugar cane, and accessories.
The young man's clothes are shabby and old-fashioned, but his eyes are shining, and his face is full of a smile full of beauty in life. This young man is Lu Feng.
Business here is not good, after all, now the pharmacy is developed, everything is sold, and few people will come to the stall to buy medicine.
The medicine that Lu Feng is selling now is not the kind of potion he sold to Lin Haishan that day. That kind of potion was too precious, and it was extracted by him with a lot of expensive medicinal materials and a special method. At that time, it was still in the mountains, and the herbs for the potions were also picked in the mountains, and there was no need for money, and the utensils for refining the potions were all made by the old man.
But now in this city, it is impossible to pick those herbs, and the only way is to go to the pharmacy and buy them. The herbs that can be configured are very expensive, and with Lu Feng's current conditions, he can't afford to buy these herbs, and even if he can't afford it, he can't get the old man's kind of utensils to refine it.
Therefore, the medicines that Lu Feng sells now are just some simple herbs worthy of the name. These are some cheap herbs that Lu Feng wholesaled from the Chinese herbal medicine market in Shencheng, such as angelica, tangerine peel, lotus seed heart, wolfberry and so on. After all, these medicines are cheap, and Lu Feng can afford to buy them without much money.
It's just that Lu Feng sells them for the same price, but these medicines look much better than other people at the same price. This is because Lu Feng's vision is much higher than that of those wholesale herb dealers, so it is almost impossible for those herb dealers to use some cunning means to trick Lu Feng. These herb dealers usually use these tactics to trick other wholesalers.
Although Lu Feng's medicinal materials are good, the business is very average. After all, there are Chinese medicines in pharmacies now, and the Chinese herbs sold by Lu Feng are all from the market, not picked by themselves, so they are all very ordinary and cannot attract purchases.
But Lu Feng still did it with his heart, this was for a promise, a promise to Zhou Yao, and to fund Shui'er together.
After selling for four or five days, Lu Feng and some of the surrounding vendors also got acquainted.
On this day, business was still bleak, and Lu Feng was chatting with the surrounding vendors.
"Collect the protection fee, prepare the money in your hand, 500 for a stall, if you don't pay it, get out immediately, and the one who pays it will be taken care of by Brother Guan, hurry up and get ready, don't ink." Suddenly, a shrill voice shouted.
Lu Feng looked up, and several gangster-looking people walked over, in the big city, there seemed to be no shortage of such gangsters anywhere.
These bastards are dyed with yellow hair, wearing studs, walking with no one in their eyes, and their walking posture is with figure-eight steps, which looks arrogant and domineering, but in Lu Feng's view, these people look like they are all lapped legs.
The thugs stopped near Lu Feng and reached out to an older sister who was selling some cheap jewelry for protection.
"A few little brothers, can you see less? It's hard to do business, my man died early, there are children at home to go to school, and the whole family depends on me getting up early and selling small things to make a living, this 500 yuan, that is, a month's living expenses for our whole family. The eldest sister said with a bitter face, the burden of life made her seem older than her actual age, and these little gangsters collected so much protection money for no reason, which brought her a lot of pressure.
"Do you think it's okay? Your family wants to eat, why don't we brothers eat? A few thugs glared at the eldest sister fiercely, "Don't you want to set up a stall here in the future?" If you don't want to, just say it! ā
Another middle-aged man next to him, who was also setting up a stall, couldn't stand it anymore, and said casually: "We have already paid the booth fee to the chengguan for setting up a stall here, and we shouldn't have paid your protection fee again." ā
As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged man knew what was called a disaster from his mouth. Two thugs walked over directly, and one of them stepped on the middle-aged man's stall fiercely, kicking over and stepping on the little goldfish and turtles sold by the man. The little goldfish and the little turtle were trampled to death, trampled to death, trampled on the remnants, and the scene was very bloody and made people vomit.
"Please don't step on it, my family is counting on me to sell this thing to make some money to live." The middle-aged man turned pale and wanted to go up to stop him, but he was pushed by two thugs and fell to the ground.
Seeing these two thugs so arrogant, the surrounding vendors became even more indignant and hostile to the thugs.
They also know how to understand the truth of cold lips and teeth, but this kind of hostility and indignation can only be kept in their hearts, and no one can express it. The bloody stampede of the thugs frightened the vendors even more and scared them even more.
"His grandmother's, since you are hanging like this, let's start with you, hurry up and get 500 out, otherwise you will smash all your stalls!" The thugs stepped on the middle-aged man, and at the same time lifted the largest fish tank on the middle-aged man's stall, and it looked like he was about to smash it to the ground.
"I don't understand, since you collect protection money, you want to protect us, right, but are you protecting like this?"
Seeing that these little gangsters were getting more and more excessive, Lu Feng finally couldn't help frowning and shouted loudly.
"I'm cĒo, who are you ******?"
"You're pretty arrogant ******."
"There's a bird out there!"
"I've got some play now!"
A few thugs immediately let go of the eldest sister and the middle-aged man, and all of them surrounded Lu Feng. For these thugs, the vendors they usually see are afraid of themselves, so it is not challenging for them to oppress these vendors, and there is no pleasure.
Now seeing that Lu Feng dared to question them, these little gangsters surrounded them excitedly as if they had discovered a new fun. This is also for the little gangsters, catch a bird, and you can stand in front of everyone.
"Boy, you're very good, you don't want to pay protection money, do you, then it seems that you must be very capable of fighting, let's try it, let's see how good you are?" The little thug in the lead said as he poked his finger into Lu Feng's chest.
Lu Feng wanted to punch this little gangster in the face at this time, it was easy for him, but Lu Feng held back.
He knew that now was not the time to act rashly, and now he was not thinking about himself alone.
I have to think about Li Shui'er, if I beat these gangsters, then I will definitely not be able to stay here, if I can't stay, I won't be able to set up a stall to make money, and if I can't make money, I won't be able to give Li Shui'er living expenses.
"Forget it, I'll pay the protection fee, but I don't have any money today, I'll give it to you in a few days, anyway, I'll set up a stall here, and I won't be able to escape." Lu Feng swallowed his anger and said.
For Zhou Yao, for Li Shui'er, I endure.
"Haha, everyone saw it, I thought this guy was so tough, it turned out that he was just a soft guy who could only talk about it, and he bargained with me, who should he be?" The little thug led by spitted contemptuously, and continued to tap Lu Feng's chest with his hand, "Boy, given that you just looked very good, I will now charge you a thousand yuan for protection, and you must pay it immediately!" ā
"Don't deceive people too much. To send you a word, rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry. Lu Feng frowned, these little thugs had already pushed him to the brink of exploding.
If this little thug can listen, then it's fine. It's a pity that the gangster is a gangster after all, he has always been arrogant, after listening to Lu Feng's words, the gangster led by him laughed, and suddenly raised his hand to give Lu Feng a slap, and at the same time shouted arrogantly: "Come and bite me." ā
He thought that this slap could fan Lu Feng all over the ground to find his teeth, but he suddenly felt a pain in his wrist, and he was caught by Lu Feng.
Lu Feng grabbed the arm of the gangster and threw it casually, and the hundred-pound body of the gangster was thrown directly to the garbage bin across the road. For Lu Feng, who is armed with Jiuyang Divine Skill, throwing someone or something is like an ordinary person grabbing a small stone and throwing it out.
The little gangster named Brother Guan led by him was miserable, he was planted directly in the garbage heap, and all kinds of disgusting things on his body were stained all over his body.
"I'm cĒo, this guy dares to do it, let's go together!" Seeing Brother Guan being beaten, these thugs didn't react to how strong Lu Feng was, in order to please Brother Guan who was beaten, the thugs rushed towards Lu Feng in a swarm.
Now that he has made a move, Lu Feng no longer has any worries. rushed over, Lu Feng directly reached over, and could always accurately pull the arm of the little gangster who rushed over, and then casually lifted and threw it, and flew out of one.
There was a thug who rushed fast, Lu Feng only shook it slightly, and the thug flew out along Lu Feng's body according to inertia. None of them can touch Lu Feng's body.
The fight looked quite intense, but in fact, it was just a blink of an eye, Lu Feng almost didn't move his body, these little gangsters just lay down, lying on their stomachs, and there were only a few more eye-catching ones left, knowing that Lu Feng was powerful, they didn't dare to come up again.
"Just like that, and still protect people? Do you deserve it too? Lu Feng stepped on that Brother Guan's body, Brother Guan just wanted to get up, but when Lu Feng stepped on it like this, he immediately lay down, begging for mercy at the same time.
"It's useless to beg me, the goldfish and turtle of that uncle just now were killed so much by you, this truth of killing people to pay for their lives and losing money, I believe you should know it very well." Lu Feng said awe-inspiringly.
"Clear, clear." Brother Guan shrank at Lu Feng's feet and nodded hurriedly, and the arrogance just now disappeared in an instant.
"Uncle, can you roughly estimate how much money you lost by these thugs just now? Let them pay you back. Lu Feng said to the middle-aged man just now.
When the nearby vendors saw that something was going on here, they gradually gathered around to watch, and surrounded the place.
