Chapter 133: A Little Comfort in Troubled Times
At this time, the next competition was about to start, turned around, and when I returned to the court, I washed my face, removed the paint and makeup on my face, collected the money, and left the black boxing market, ignoring those who were vying to get to know me, and I still had to keep a low profile here.
In a good mood, it was a wonderful afternoon.
The next afternoon, I couldn't sit still in school, and I was always thinking about what was going on in the boxing market, so I walked quickly to the black boxing market again, of course, I hoped that I could play more games, so that I could earn money and experience my own things, of course, the more the better.
walked directly into the small room next to the gym to register for the fight, and there was still only the thin old official's family in the room.
Before I could say hello, the old man raised his head and saw that it was me, his wrinkled old face still showed a smile, like an old chrysanthemum, at this moment he was no longer the cold face of yesterday, and hurriedly greeted me and said: "Little bee is here, hehe, your schedule will be very busy next! Hearing that you defeated the Iron Hammer, many people in the two-star fighter group want to compete with you, and I will arrange all your events in the afternoon according to your requirements, and you will have events in the next few days, and there will be two tomorrow afternoons, can you do it?"
And this good thing? My heart blossomed.
This is the advertising effect, everyone saw a fledgling little guy suddenly defeat the invincible powerhouse in the two-star fighter group, everyone guessed that most of it was the result of shit luck, so they all wanted to try their luck on me, if they could defeat me, it would be equivalent to indirectly defeating the hammer, which would also attract them enough popularity.
And what I needed was also combat skills and gold coins, so I smiled at the old chrysanthemum and said, "Okay, I just happen to be free during this time, so arrange it for me!"
"Okay, then you will become the highlight of the two-star group, hehe!" The old man stroked his sparse mustache and happily lowered his head to record the game record.
Turning around, I walked out of the hut, ignoring the old philistine thing.
I came out and walked into the gym again, there are obviously more people in the gym today, more than 200 people came here to watch the game in the afternoon, it is estimated that some of them want to come to see who the little bee is, hehe, I feel good about myself, of course I still like to keep a low profile in the crowd, no one knows me, because I am wearing makeup on stage and they don't recognize me.
In the next few days, after knocking over a few challengers in succession and winning more than a dozen gold coins, my business also cooled down after a fire, because this is equivalent to confirming to everyone that this little bee does not win the hammer by walking shit luck, so that people who don't have any real strength dare not challenge me again, so my matches are less, and it seems that I need to challenge high-level opponents.
I came back from the Black Boxing City today, sitting on my bed bored, I had already submitted a challenge to the Black Boxing City to challenge the three-star fighter in the afternoon, but I haven't arranged for the opponent to fight with me yet, so I practiced in the gym for another afternoon today.
The students in the dormitory are chatting, and the content they like to talk about is nothing more than the most violent strikes and strikes in other places, and now the wave of strikes and strikes in other places is still in full swing, it is estimated that the officials in those places do not sell it, and although we in Changshengsha City have also carried out several solidarity activities, we still ask the imperial court to retract the decision to sell the rights and interests of the magic railway, but these few times are just demonstrations, and we students have not been called, so for the time being, we have no major gathering activities here.
However, everyone has become more and more dissatisfied with the court's delay in giving the answer, and everyone is still arranging for work and classes again to try to make the event bigger, hoping that the court will retract their policy of selling the right to the railway as soon as possible.
I was chatting with my classmates, at this moment, I saw Brother Rundong walk in again with a newspaper, and now he is still insisting on buying newspapers every day, and there is a lot of news during this time, and most of the news is the news of our neighboring provinces and cities, we are also very concerned, waiting for his news broadcast every day.
Brother Rundong, who walked into the dormitory, frowned, which was a little different from the previous situation, because there was always news of strikes and strikes in various provinces recently, which made the people's petition quite vigorous and more intense, so during this time, Brother Rundong was also full of joy every time he came in, which made everyone feel the possibility of success of this petition. But Brother Rundong's expression today is obviously to show that something bad is happening.
"What, is there any bad news today?"
Everyone had read bad information from Brother Rundong's straightforward face.
"Several representatives of the railway preparation association of the four and three provinces were all ensnared yesterday by the provincial governors of the four and three provinces by inviting them to negotiate, and the masses went to the provincial governor's palace to protest, and were killed and wounded by the officers and men of the provincial governor's office, and more than 50 people were killed and wounded by the officers and men of the provincial governor's office. Brother Rundong's face was pale, and he said in a deep voice.
"What? More than 50 people were killed and wounded!"
The students immediately boiled with indignation, what they heard every day in the past few days was exciting news, and today they suddenly heard this bad news that made the students extremely angry, and everyone scolded the governor of the fourth and third provinces for not being a human being, but a beast.
Brother Rundong was still blushing at the moment, his brows were locked, it seemed that he had been thinking about this issue for a long time on the way back, and then he suddenly said angrily: "What I am worried about is that the reason why the governors of the four or three provinces dare to do this is because the imperial court has made it clear to those officials that if they want to suppress this activity, I am afraid that the imperial court will still sell the right to build roads to foreigners." ”
"yes! These sons of bitches are traitors. ”
"We should go to the governor again to demonstrate!"
"But if we go there, what if the provincial governor suppresses us?"
"It's a big deal to fight with them, and we had tens of thousands of people in the last demonstration, are you still afraid of those officers and soldiers?"
"The tens of thousands of people who went there last time didn't all want to fight!"
"yes, it's possible to lose your head this time. ”
......
As he spoke, the classmates were also silent, if there was a real demonstration and a conflict, everyone might be considered rebels by the government, no longer a petition, the nature would change, and a few of those really kind people were willing to fight with the officers and soldiers to fight with bayonets.
In fact, when I think of rebellion, the first thing I think of is the rebellion that occurred in our village when I was 5 years old, and what I think of is the tragic death of innocent people such as the village chief's son and wife, and of course, there is also the death of Peng Blacksmith, the leader of the rebellion.
Turning his head to look at Brother Rundong, he was also lowering his head, I think, he probably thinks the same as me, right? What's more, Brother Rundong is a person who likes to be elegant, although he sometimes speaks fiercely, sometimes thinks radically, and also wants to change the status quo, but he is a scholarly spirit, I guess what he thinks of now is definitely not to change the status quo by means of rebellion, yes, his purpose has always been to see the strength of the Shenghua Empire, not this chaotic conflict, and the tragic death of innocent people.
However, if you don't resist, the method of petitioning will not work, so what will you do next?
What else can be done about teenage children?
Even if Brother Rundong is older, he is 17 years old, I'm afraid he can't think of any good way.
Let's scold to relieve our anger!
Maybe it's better for the children's physical and mental health, or, what else?
But Brother Rundong and his classmates couldn't scold together, the classmates scolded all about how to want to be a corrupt official, and Brother Rundong scolded to change the monarchy of the imperial court, to let the little emperor step down, his tone was too high, others couldn't take his words, there was no common language, he was now an angry youth, not qualified enough, and was often abandoned by the people around him.
The next day, I went to Black Fist again, and I was notified that a three-star fighter had accepted my challenge.
Finally there is business again.
The first time I faced a three-star fighter, I was very excited.
The next competition, but when betting, everyone is still betting that I will win, yes, although I am a two-star fighter, but the people who dare to challenge the level are usually the best in the same level. Although the opponent is a three-star fighter, people who are generally willing to accept the challenge of a two-star fighter at the beginning are most likely to fight in a three-star fighter and have no chance of winning, so they will think of a two-star fighter to make some money.
I still use two knives in the ring, and against a very weak opponent, I only fight him with my left hand, not my best right hand.
Everyone thinks that my left-handed knife is an ornament, but I don't want my left hand to really become an ornament, so I still have to find a way to improve it.
So when I meet a weak player, I practice my left-handed sword.
Otherwise, where would you find such a good sparring partner?
For the three-star fighter, I have no advantage in speed, if I only use the left-handed knife, there is no advantage in the knife, then I only have some small skills left in the body, and for more than 50 rounds, and finally pressed the left-handed knife to the opponent's neck, * he admitted defeat, one and a half gold coins in hand, the challenge of skipping is to add money, add half a gold coin, the bonus has increased by 50%, a lot!
Out of the Black Boxing City, he sighed softly, feeling a little tired and wanted to take a break.
I'm afraid it has something to do with the intense fighting and cultivation that has been going on during this time, of course, this is mainly due to the fact that I am a little tired, walking slowly on the street, and suddenly a melancholy feeling comes to my heart, this is the first time I have been away from my hometown for so long, I thought about it, and decided to make up for the sorrow in my heart with a method of treating myself, and I will not go back to school to eat dinner today, and order a sauce demon rabbit meat and a few special side dishes in the restaurant outside, and I want half a pot of light rice wine, and I am eating dinner by myself, so as to relax myself
