1 Troubled times

Next Chapter

The sky was pale and cloudless.

Dayuan, Yunzhou, Feiye City.

Pump!

A bird with white feathers and a black beak fluttered its wings through the clouds and swooped down.

Over the thick old city walls, towers. The bird slowed down and landed gently on one of the tallest dark red towers in the city, combing its feathers as it looked down.

There are groups of gray buildings in the city, with different platforms.

Light yellow houses and pavilions rise and fall one after another, and the courtyards with flying eaves and corners can be seen everywhere.

In the middle, on a huge square square.

The floor of the square is paved with stone bricks more than one meter wide, and there are huge patterns of strange monsters, which are clear and abnormal.

This is a large open space where the market is held on weekdays.

At this time, there was a large crowd of people, crowded with a large number of people who came to watch and listen to the lecture.

In the middle of the square, on a simple wooden platform, there is a white-clothed crane with a dusty person holding a whisk and preaching loudly.

"The scholar who recites the ten transgressions, the five emperors' guards, the head of the Three Realms..."

"Bachelor, the filth has not disappeared, and the body has not been revealed...."

"Oh, coming, coming!!" someone whispered from the crowd.

Soon a Taoist held a wooden basin in his hand, took out a handful of copper coins from it, walked for a while, stopped, and then grabbed a handful of copper coins and threw them under the wooden platform.

He didn't throw much, but it still caused the crowd below to bend down to pick it up.

Wei He huddled in the crowd and looked at the old Taoist preaching scriptures and righteousness on the high platform from a distance.

He is 1.7 meters tall, his lips are slightly dark, his face is immature and ordinary, he wears a gray linen shirt, and his feet are still intact black cloth shoes.

Looking at the old road on the wooden platform.

He only paused slightly, and then walked in the direction of home with the oil cake he had bought in his hand.

While squeezing through the crowd, he also had to endure all kinds of unpleasant smells coming from the surrounding area.

Sweat, feet, saliva, and even subtle feces and urine.

Wei He lowered his head and looked at the trampled pile of dog shit on the ground on the right, and quickened his pace.

Walk through the square, turn into the alleys, and then pass through a few alleys full of yellow ash and garbage.

Wei He soon returned to his only home in this city.

The home was in a small alley, one of a row of small bungalows in a dilapidated row.

Outside the house, there are also shabby clothes hanging to dry, among which there is a subtle difference in color between men and women.

Wei He moved away from the rotten wooden bench that was blocking the door a little and approached the dark room.

"Second sister, I'm back. He said loudly.

In the corner of the room, a thin woman stood up.

The woman was washing clothes with her sleeves rolled, her hands were wet, she brushed her hair with her forearms, looked at Wei He and smiled.

"Why did you come back so early today? ”

"I didn't work early, so I came back first. Wei He explained.

"The Mu family's work of repairing the main house is also over?" she walked to the window, and the glimmer of light fell on her, revealing a slightly delicate face, although the skin was rough and the skin quality was slightly poor, but the figure was uneven and quite beautiful.

Her name is Wei Ying, and she is Wei He's second sister.

Wei He also has an eldest sister named Wei Chun, who is also the pillar of the family now, and is in the Blackwater Gang in the city.

This is also the key to the Wei family's relative stability around them.

"It's already done, and I helped repair a few guest rooms on the side. Wei He replied.

It has been a few months since he came to this world, from the confusion at the beginning, to the calm acceptance later.

and now running for life, it only took him three months.

Three months, it's really fast.

The Wei family's parents are alive and well, and they have two older sisters.

The eldest sister Wei Chun is very good to him, and the second sister Wei Ying is also very good to him, and his parents keep everything good for him.

The patriarchal mentality, coupled with the poverty of the family and the inability to give birth control, led to the Wei family's parents giving birth to two daughters in a row, and finally gave birth to a male son in Wei He.

This also made the whole family attach great importance to Wei He.

"The eldest sister hasn't come back yet, the younger brother, be careful when you go out recently, when I went out to look for sewing work, I heard that someone was taken in the middle of the night. Wei Ying lowered her voice, her eyes a little nervous.

"Haven't you returned yet, how much has that house been taken?" Wei He's face moved.

"I heard that the salary is half. The rest is simply not enough for the rest of the family to live.... There is also the opposite Mouse Alley, where someone was also robbed yesterday. After a little resistance, a finger is gone. ”

"It's stealing in the middle of the night again, didn't the people from the previous gang just leave?" Wei He asked.

"I don't know...... Maybe it's another wave of newcomers grabbing turf. Wei Ying sighed, picked up a piece of clothing, took the needle and thread and began to sew it.

"Anyway, you're outside, you have to be careful. If you encounter someone robbing, give it to him, there are still us at home, and you will never go hungry. Second sister Wei Ying earnestly advised.

"I know. Wei He nodded.

He looked a little blank.

came to this world and was reborn as Wei He, an ordinary and unremarkable young man.

It's not that he has nothing to rely on.

It's just that this dependence, and now it can't be started at all.

It was a bead, or rather, a pattern of a bead, imprinted in the very center of his chest.

Judging from the information left in his mind, the bead's name was the Realm Breaker Bead.

And the ability is also very simple.

That's the Breaking Realm.

When it accumulates enough energy, it can help him break through the realm of exercises once.

The reason why he knew this was because the little information that the bead left in his mind when he crossed over was like a memory.

As for whether it is true or not, it remains to be determined.

After accumulating energy, the Realm Breaker will change from a translucent color close to skin color to pitch black.

And now, although more than three months have passed, Wei He still hasn't seen the bead pattern turn black.

At most, the color is a little darker.

Also, he is barely enough to eat at every meal now, and he can't have any extra energy to save for the beads.

The energy needed by this bead mainly depends on his daily eating, transforming essence from excess food, absorbing it, and slowly accumulating it.

At the beginning, Wei He still had hope for it, but later, three months later, the excitement brought by hope has slowly turned into indifference.

Heyi fell on the bed for a temporary rest, there are only three beds in the house, one for the parents, the eldest sister and the second sister are barely squeezed together, and he has one.

In a house of less than 60 square meters, three beds can only be squeezed into one place, and the rest of the area has to be placed with stoves, tables and chairs, etc., which is extremely crowded.

But this is already the middle-income family of the surrounding civilians.

After sleeping for a while, Wei He got up and planned to go out for a walk.

He has a Realm Breaking Bead, thinking that he will have a chance to find some decent kung fu to practice, and then use the Realm Breaking Bead to break through the realm to improve.

But now, there is no kung fu or anything to be found, and the eldest sister is in the Blackwater Gang, and she only barely stands on her feet by being ruthless and ruthless.

And the Realm Breaker didn't move at all.

Wei He was helpless, so he had to walk around the city a few times every day after work.

He was small, shabby, and didn't have much money at first glance, but no one asked him for help.

When she got up, the second sister Wei Ying had fallen asleep on the only table.

Wei He went out cautiously, closed the door, and walked out of the alley along the door to the right.

Ahem......

As soon as I got out of the alley, there was a coughing sound on the right side outside.

He looked up and saw Sister Zhang, a neighbor who often looked for work with her second sister Wei Ying, covering her mouth with her hands, bowing her head and coughing constantly.

"Xiaohe, stand far away. Someone on the side pulled him.

He was pulled by a short old man with a cigarette stick.

Dressed in a sweaty white jacket, he pulled Wei He out of the alley and took a few more steps.

Then he lowered his voice and said with an ugly face.

"There has been a plague in the city lately...... The girl of the Zhang family didn't know what was going on, and she kept coughing when she came back a few days ago. You have to be careful not to get passed on. Also let your second sister be careful. ”

"Thank you, Grandpa Wang. Wei He's heart sank, he had heard about the plague earlier, and it was said that it had been circulating in the north of the city, but now he actually came to his side......

In the past three months, he has also tried hard to help his family solve economic problems with the advanced thinking of his traveler.

Unfortunately, they all ended in failure.

No matter what kind of method, when you get to this city, you can't get around a point.

That's the gangs.

The low-rise districts are divided into different areas, and different gangs manage different areas.

Whether it is to open a store or to buy a small business, you must pay money to the gang. Without a background background, the business is slightly better, and it will be targeted at the first time.

And then the result is that either the business is given away, and you become a part-time worker.

Either pay a large sum of money every month and only earn some hard money.

This is a bad time when civilians will be targeted as long as they have a little money.

Wei He didn't stop, quickly left the alley, walked through the alleys of the city, and soon came to an old gray courtyard.

The sound of reading aloud was constantly heard in the courtyard. From time to time, there was the low voice of the old man's reprimand.

At the gate of the courtyard, there is a plaque that reads: Lecture Hall. Three large red letters.

Wei He found a suitable ground along the wall, sat down, and listened quietly against the wall.

The lecture hall is a place where large families in the city send their children to enlightenment.

It is said that the masters in it are also all talents who have been famous.

"The words here are almost mastered. Everywhere, words and knowledge are the most important prerequisites for mastering everything. ”

Wei He lowered his head and scribbled with his fingers on the dusty ground, practicing the words he had learned before.

"Wei He!" suddenly a half-grown child with pigtails sneakily ran to his side and shouted.

"This is today. Pigtails threw out a roll of paper hidden in his arms and threw it into Wei He's arms.

"The old rule, half a tael of silver. Wei He said calmly.

"Okay, okay, you hurry up, Master will want it tomorrow morning." The pigtail lowered his voice, took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, and threw it to Wei He. And then walked away.

This is ghostwriting assignment.

Wei Helai came to steal an order of business when he was studying.

The pigtail is named Libian, and he is the only son of a wealthy merchant in Feiye City, and he is generous.

Wei He put away the broken silver and calculated.

"In this way, the tuition fee is about the same as going to Old Man Zheng to learn back to Shanquan. ”

Since he has a golden finger, he naturally won't easily give up the way to open it.

The information of the Realm Breaking Bead mentions that it is the Gong Fa Breaking Realm, and Wei He has tried to practice some ordinary freehand fighting techniques under the training of his eldest sister, but it is useless.

Later, from the eldest sister, he learned that there are some people in the world who have mastered a method called the internal practice method.

This group of talents is a real master in the world, just like the Blackwater Gang where the eldest sister belongs, there are such good players in it.

It's just that the internal practice method is easy not to be passed on, and Wei He is also the relationship of the eldest sister, and after looking for more than a month, he found a place nearby where he could teach the internal practice method, that is, Old Man Zheng.

But the tuition required in that place is not low.
