Indeed, Ah Fa's movements are not fancy at all, and the speed is not fast. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info But if an insider sees it, he may make a conclusion contrary to Xiaoxi. Hitting people and performing are two different things, Ah Fa's movements are not big and not good-looking, but the angle of the elbow and knee collision is extremely narrow, if the speed is fast enough, it will definitely make the opponent difficult to guard.
Well, Ah Fa snorted, took two steps back, shook his head with a wry smile, looked around weakly, and turned back to the room with a slight limp. This kick kicked on the small tree in the courtyard, and before I could do my best, it hurt so badly, it was really embarrassing. It seems that this is not a day's work, you have to persevere!
Xiaoxi covered her mouth and endured it hard, but at the same time she was a little worried, worried that her brother really kicked and injured his foot. Although it has only been more than a day, this brother is real, he really cares for them, and it is also the most comfortable for them not to suffer from starvation.
After waiting for a while, Xiaoxi was really not at ease, the meal was ready, so she walked to the side room, ready to see her brother's situation.
There were banknotes and odd pieces of foreign money on the board, and Ah Fa calculated that there were almost forty yuan in total. He was going to take half of it with him, leaving the rest all behind. The speed of his body's recovery was unexpected, and he wanted to leave tomorrow, first find a place to stay, and then reconnoiter the route, observe the people and time, and make a plan of action, which will take time.
"Brother-" Xiaoxi pushed the door, and the door was held against the back, so she had to scream.
The door soon opened, and Ah Fa smiled and beckoned, calling Xiaoxi into the house. Seeing that he seemed to be fine when he walked, Xiaoxi swallowed the words in his mouth.
"I'm going to go back the day after tomorrow." Ah Fa motioned for Xiaoxi to sit down and said, "It's not easy to find an errand, it's a pity to lose it." β
Xiaoxi was a little surprised and looked at Ah Fa in a daze. There's nothing to say about this, although it's reluctant, but it's true.
"Hmm-" Ah Fa pondered for a moment and said, "After eating, I will go to the town for some money, exchange some money, and buy some rice to send to Uncle Zhang's family, which can be regarded as deposited there." As for the money, I'm going to leave you twenty yuan, what is missing, you look at it and buy it. Later, I'll come back to see you when I have time. β
"You don't need to keep so much, five or six yuan is enough." Xiaoxi shook his head vigorously, blurring his vision because he was moved, "Brother, you have a lot of things to do outside and spend a lot of money, so let's bring more money with you!" β
"Hehe, brother is capable." Ah Fa reached out and picked up Xiaoxi's face, wiped the corner of her eyes with his thumb, and said with a smile: "That's it, don't cry!" Remember, keep the money separate and hide it in a few more places, so that the bad guys don't steal it all at once. β
"Got it, brother." Xiaoxi's nose was sour and her throat was a little choked.
"Don't you cry when you say yes?" Ah Fa withdrew his hand, touched Xiaoxi's hair, and said with a smile: "Usually eat more, don't save, grow up quickly!" Well, I'm hungry. β
Xiaoxi cried, grabbed Ah Fa's sleeve and wiped her face vigorously, making her sleeves wet.

Since the Guangxu period, Shanghai has set up a concession, and as a large port connecting the upper and lower levels, it is naturally the first choice of the great powers. The British, American, French and other concessions were divided into feudal lords in Shanghai County, forming a bizarre ten-mile foreign field.
Under the pouring of powerful foreign capital, the original economic order of the small Shanghai Tang was like a small lonely boat swaying, and finally it was torn apart by the sea breeze, and the economy developed rapidly towards deformity, becoming a paradise for many adventurers.
With the evil deeds, the evil people gather more and more, they hope to find satisfactory black money here, they know that by proper work, they are tired and tired all day, and as a result, the money earned is difficult to even survive, and only the money that is as black as ink can be squandered uncontrollably and unscrupulously. Therefore, "hope" gathers here, villains and villains draw closer here, social dregs precipitate here, and rivers and lakes form here.
"Brother, come back often!"
"Brother, be careful outside!"
"Brotherβ"
The boat sailed, and the turbid waters of the Huangpu River carried Ah Fa farther and farther. The words of my sister and brother still seemed to echo in my ears. Looking back, on the dock, Xiao Xi pulled Xiao Zhi and stood quietly, the autumn wind blew, raising a few strands of hair next to Xiao Xi's ears.
Autumn is stronger, and in this bleak season, Ah Fa stepped on Shanghai Beach, stepped on this bizarre world, and entered this mixed rivers and lakes.
Rivers and lakes! That's right, it's the perfect description of Shanghai Tang. There are a lot of people, three religions and nine streams, three six nines, etc., forcibly grabbing, cheating, abducting, and struggling...... A big dye vat with all kinds of green and white is not what the rivers and lakes are.
Ah Fa walked through large and small casinos, ** halls, fireworks rooms, swallow shops, teahouses, restaurants...... I saw laborers, coolies, **, merchants, ruffians, hooligans...... Hear a variety of dialects from Guangdong, Fujian, Shandong, Ningbo and other places. Walking, watching, listening, Ah Fa walked his own steps, and gradually disappeared into the streets and alleys, like a grain of sand mixed into the beach, and it was difficult to find it again.

A courtyard on the outskirts of Shanghai is a place where the Red Sleeve Pavilion trains or abducts or buys girls.
The dark room was gloomy and terrible, with only a little light coming in through the broken window, and a thick and long rope hung from the beam, and an iron ring fell and swayed slightly in the air.
With a "bang", the suspended iron ring fell to the ground under Xiao Yunzi's frightened gaze, followed by a shout "You come over to me!" βγ
Diao Wu shouted loudly, stepped over, and without saying anything, he clamped Xiao Yunzi's hands under his arms, and tied her hands and feet with three strokes and five divisions. Then, he pulled the other end of the rope down hard, and Xiao Yunzi was suspended in the air.
Xiao Yunzi was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her throat, and she couldn't help trembling like chaff. However, maybe it's the innate stubbornness, she has no idea of asking for help, and she is not willing to open her mouth to beg for mercy from this villain who once beat and scolded her. She just hung her little head down feebly, staring desperately at the small patch of light shining on the ground through the broken window.
"Smack, slap ......" Diao Wu waved the leather whip according to Xiao Yunzi's ass, and scolded while beating: "Little mongrel, let you taste the taste of this whip first, and then talk about it later." β
Xiao Yunzi only felt as if his buttocks were burned by the red-hot chopsticks, and he felt a pain in his heart, and couldn't help crying out loudly.
"I told you to shout, shout! Look at whether you are still playing tricks, and see if you dare to be disobedient. Before Xiao Yunzi could shout a second time, Diao Wu blocked her mouth with a rag, and the whip whipped again. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
