Chapter 6 The Variety of Life

After speaking, Li Mang raised his fist and rushed towards Ling Yun, looking at this posture, he wanted to knock Ling Yun off with one punch, but the flaw was also exposed in front of Ling Yun's eyes, Ling Yun wanted to take advantage of this flaw to defeat him, but he thought that Li Mang usually had infinite strength and often hit stones with his fists. I also wanted to give it a try, how hard and powerful Li Mang's fist was, so he also clenched his fist and hit it, the two fists collided together, Ling Yun only felt a sharp pain coming from his fist, but he didn't take half a step back, Li Mang felt that his fist was like hitting the mountain, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back. Obviously, Ling Yun was superior, and Instructor Li looked at Ling Yun thoughtfully. After Ling Yun and Li Mang separated, they fought again, Li Mang continued to attack Ling Yun, Ling Yun blocked left and right, saw the move, and looked at ease; The two jumped up and down, swept their legs, fell over the shoulder, and fought inextricably. "Alright, you two stop!" Instructor Li's voice came from a distance, and Ling Yun and Li Mang immediately stopped after hearing the sermon. Instructor Li looked at Ling Yun and Li Mang, and said appreciatively: "You two are good, and the future martial arts competition will depend on your performance." ”

Li Jun hurriedly stepped forward and said gratefully: "Lingyun, thank you this time!" Li Mang looked at Li Jun with disdain and said, "This time you are lucky, someone will come out for you." Li Jun hid behind Ling Yun, and when he heard this, he showed a look like you can help me. Li Mang said: "After you are discharged from the hospital, see how Lao Tzu cleans you up."

Wang Tao, Zhang Lei and others who were acquaintances with Li Jun next to him walked up and said to Li Jun: "Yes, Li Jun, Lingyun can't always be next to you, what should you do if you are alone?" Li Jun stretched his waist and said smugly: "I have my own way to do this!" The crowd was puzzled and said, "What can you do?" Li Jun looked like he couldn't reveal it, but said, "I'll talk about it after the training." Seeing this, everyone had to continue the next training and keep the doubts in their hearts. In the evening, after finishing the training, Li Jun sneakily found Ling Yun and the others, saying that he would invite everyone to dinner, thank you Ling Yun for your help today. At the dinner table, Li Jun kept praising Ling Yun for how heroic and martial arts, but Ling Yun just said embarrassedly: "Everyone knows each other, and besides, fighting against Li Mang is also what I want." Zhao Tiandao next to him: "Li Jun, you haven't said what you sold in the martial arts training ground today!" Li Jun looked around cautiously, and after making sure that there was no one, he said: "I already knew that although Li Mang was five big and three coarse, he was simple-minded and a filial son, especially obedient to his mother. ”

Zhang Lei said: "So you are going to plead with Li Mang's mother next." Li Jun said disdainfully: "What do you want, Li Mang's family is surrounded by walls, and his parents barely make a living by selling stinky tofu, this kind of person is also worthy?" Everyone listened, only to feel that Li Jun was too arrogant, but what he said also made sense, although Li Jun was not as rich and wealthy as Wang Tianfu, but Li Jun's parents were also wealthy in business, and Li Jun's character was destined to be impossible to bow to people who were weaker than him. Wang Tao said: "Then what are you going to do?" Kidnapping Li Mang's parents to force him to comply? Li Jun said with a smile: "How could I do such a low-level method of kidnapping, you can watch it!" With that, Li Jun got up and walked towards the outside of the restaurant, and Ling Yun and the others followed from a distance to see what Li Jun would do next. Li Jun walked a short distance to a military station, where there were two patrolmen resting, the two patrolmen were fat and one thin, with a sword at their waists, Li Jun stepped forward and greeted him very skillfully. The two patrols saw that it was Li Jun, and they also chatted happily with Li Jun.

Ling Yun and the others looked at Li Jun's sleek appearance, and couldn't help but feel a trace of disgust; Li Jun and the two patrolmen muttered for a long time, and after a while, the two patrolmen got up and walked towards the east side of the office, it was evening, and the streets were full of people, and on both sides of the street were teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, and workshops. There are also many small vendors with large umbrellas in the open spaces on both sides of the street. The streets stretch east and west to the quieter suburbs outside the city, but the streets are still full of pedestrians: some carrying burdens, some driving ox carts to deliver goods, some driving donkeys to pull wagons, and some stopping to enjoy the canal view. With the tall city tower as the center, the houses on both sides are lined up, there are tea shops, wine shops, pharmacies, butcher shops, temples, public houses, massage parlors, etc., and the whole Cangyun City is a thriving scene. Li Jun glanced at Ling Yun and the others and followed the patrol, and Ling Yun and the others also followed. The two patrols came to a small vendor, the vendor was an elderly couple, and when they saw that the person who came was patrolling, they hurriedly said, "Do the two adults want to eat stinky tofu?" One of the thin patrolmen said: "Who wants to eat your stinky tofu, Lao Li is the day you have to pay rent today!" ”

Lao Li asked: "My lord, haven't we already paid the rent a few days ago?" "Thin patrol" to pay rent? Why don't I remember you paid rent, fat man, do you remember? Fatty: "I don't remember." The woman next to her hurriedly said, "My lord, we have paid the rent." As she spoke, the old woman took out a paper voucher. Skinny Patrol: "Take it and I'll take a look!" The old woman then handed the note to the thin patrol, and the thin patrol took a closer look, and the inscription on it said that it was received on the 1st day of the 20th month of Yongcheng, as well as the seal of the city lord's mansion; That is, ten days ago. The thin patrol looked around, and suddenly said angrily: "A bold fanatic, dare to forge a receipt." The old woman trembled and said, "My lord is wronged! This receipt was obviously given by Mr. Qian, how could it be forged? The other vendors around looked at Li Mang's parents sympathetically. The fat patrol took the receipt of the thin patrolman, looked at it and threw it into the furnace and burned it, and there was no proof of death.

said: "You don't have to deny it, when the time comes, you will go to the service center, and you will suffer." Seeing this, Li Mang's parents could only beg for mercy in the hope of a few days of grace, but there was really no money left at home. Who knew that the fat patrol said: "If you don't have money, you can let your son go to the martial arts academy to make trouble." Li Mang's parents glanced at each other, although Li Mang was usually rude, he had always kept to himself. Father Li was puzzled: "I don't know about children, I made a mistake in the academy and bothered to patrol and arrest adults." Skinny Patrolman: "Hehe, then I'm going to ask your son." The fat patrol said: "It's not easy for you two couples, you don't have that rich life, you have to let your son go to some martial arts academy to practice martial arts, if you want me to say, don't toss, your son will only cause trouble for you when he goes in." Father Li hurriedly said: "What the adults teach is that they are being stupid." As he was talking, Li Mang rushed to his parents' shop not far away, and when he saw the two patrols in distress for his parents, he was about to step forward to theorize, and there were more onlookers. Mother Li suddenly cried and scolded: "Ah Mang, what did you do today, so that the patrol lord came to the door in person." ”

Li Mang was puzzled: "Child, I have been in the martial arts academy today, and I haven't done anything out of the ordinary." Father Li hurriedly said, "Then what mistakes can you make in the Martial Arts Academy?" Li Mang thought for a moment and said, "Could it be Li Jun?" The thin patrol snorted and said, "It's good that you know, have you seen it, haven't you wronged your son!" Father Li hurriedly said, "Then tell me what the hell is going on." Li Mang said angrily: "Li Jun, that despicable villain, where is he?" When Li Jun, who was hiding in the shadows, heard this, his originally smiling face suddenly twitched a few times, and he hurriedly took a few steps back. Ling Yun and the others searched in the crowd for a long time and did not see Li Jun. Fat patrol: "You are still reckless, why don't you take the two of us in your eyes." Mother Li cried: "Ah Mang, don't you tell me what the hell is going on? Li Mang was about to explain, but the fat patrol said: "Lao Tzu doesn't have time to listen to you, you two go back and discipline your son well, don't think that you feel great if you learn a little martial arts!" Next time, you're welcome. ”

After saying that, the two of them left without looking back. Coming from behind, the cries and accusations of Li Mang's parents, the onlookers sighed, just lamenting that the world had changed, and Li Jun hid in the dark, touched his chin, and showed a weird smile. Seeing this, Ling Yun and the others felt that Li Jun had gone a little too far, after all, they were from the same academy, everyone looked up and didn't look down, and when Li Jun came out, he talked to him about things not to be too desperate, but everyone waited for a long time and didn't see Li Jun appear, so they also left. On the way, Ling Yun and the others were discussing where to go next, anyway, it was still early. As he was talking, suddenly there was a commotion not far away, and a scolding voice was deafening, "Old thing, can you still do it now, wasting food." "This is a restaurant, there is a plaque hanging on the restaurant, which reads the three big characters of Tianshiju, and the door of the restaurant is already full of spectators; A middle-aged man dressed in a garment made of silk and satin, with a gold belt around his waist and sharp-eared monkey gills, was yelling at an old man in ragged clothes who was lying on the ground. The old man had white hair, his face was full of wrinkles, and his face was full of pain as he struggled to get up with his left hand; The right arm hung weakly in the air, the left arm supported on the ground trembled, the whole body swayed, and the old man struggled for a long time and finally collapsed due to the lack of support in his body.

Seeing this, Ling Yun suddenly thought of Fu Bo, how could an old man of this age still be tired of running around for survival, and couldn't help but feel compassion. Seeing the old man's state, the middle-aged man continued to scold: "Don't die, lowly Ji Guoren, you owe me so much money, when will you be able to pay it off?" Only then did everyone know that the old man was also a person from Ji Guo, the old man was lying on the ground with difficulty, panting, his breath was weak, he still raised his head with difficulty, and whispered with all his might: "Boss, listen to my explanation, the reason why I can't hold the plate today is that I have occasionally felt cold recently, and I have no strength, and I will be able to share the worries of the boss after I cultivate for a period of time." The sharp-eared monkey-cheeked man suddenly lifted the old man lying on the ground, and the old man hung weakly in the air like a lamb to the slaughter. And said with a hideous face: "Useless dead waste, you can't do work, you will only waste my food, and if you can't pay back the money, I will send your granddaughter to the Qinglou." As he spoke, he threw the old man on the ground and took out an iron chain and wrapped it around the old man's neck. The people next to him saw this situation and felt that the old man's situation was too miserable, and the man with pointed ears and monkey cheeks was a helpless ruffian when he was young, called Liu San. Relying on the relationship between his brother-in-law and the army, he took in a large number of Ji people, and used means to make Ji people owe him a lot of money, and Ji people worked for him in order to repay the money, so he made a fortune. He treats his subordinates very harshly and harshly, beatings and fasting often occur, many Ji people do not live for more than a few years in his hands, and the old man falls into his hands can be imagined.
