Chapter 10: The Gang of Thieves
"Chen Xuan, you are cultivating the second layer of the Giant Bear Gong's moves."
Hong Yu, who had finished his dermabrasion training, was surprised when he saw Chen Xuan's cultivation moves.
"Well, Senior Brother Xue Wen just taught me the method of the second level of cultivation of the Giant Bear Gong."
Chen Xuan nodded and replied.
"Although I knew that your comprehension root bone talent was better than mine, I didn't expect to reach the realm of strength and strength so quickly."
Hong Yu sighed.
"Hehe, but your good days are over, and the next dermabrasion training is not comfortable." As he spoke, Hong Yu pointed at himself and said, "Just look at me." ”
Hong Yu's upper body was not clothed, and his skin was worn by sand and gravel, and he was drenched in blood.
"Look at you like this, you have indeed suffered a lot of sins."
Looking at the bloody upper body, Chen Xuan felt pain just by looking at it.
Not only Hong Yu, as long as he is a martial artist in the skin grinding realm, there is no one who does not wear the skin.
If the grit dermabrasion loses its effect, it means that the practice of dermabrasion has been completed, and there is no need to grind the skin, and the next stage of the practice can be carried out.
"I won't tell you more, you continue to cultivate, I'll go back to my room to clean the wound and apply the secret medicine."
Hong Yu grinned and quickly returned to the room.
Chen Xuan continued to practice the moves of the second layer of the Giant Bear Gong.
Before you know it, the sun is setting.
The day's practice was over, and the martial arts apprentices left one after another.
Chen Xuan also left the martial arts hall.
He didn't live in a martial arts hall, after all, it costs money to live in a martial arts hall.
I lived for a few days before, but I was afraid of being targeted by the ruffians and hooligans, so I chose to live in the martial arts hall for safety.
Now, the limelight has passed, and naturally there is no need to spend that unjust money.
What's more, he is now successful in training, and ordinary ruffians are really not his opponents.
If you really meet someone who doesn't have long eyes, it's just a good time to try your skills with them.
Back home, Chen Xuan began to cook.
After a while, the fragrant meal was served.
There are three braised elbows, braised fish, and stewed pheasant with radish.
He has been practicing martial arts for more than a month, and Chen Xuan's body is stronger than before the martial arts training, and his weight has increased by more than a dozen catties, and the amount of food is getting better and better, and he has to eat meat every meal.
If you don't have meat, you only eat green vegetables and rice, and you'll get hungry after cultivating for a while.
Three meals a day, eat meat every meal, and more than a catty.
This made Chen Xuan's expenses several times more than before.
Although he had some savings, and ten taels of silver from the rent, he could not go out fishing now, and the silver could not go in and out, and it would not be long before all his savings would be spent.
In addition, I have to pay twenty taels of silver for the tuition fee of the martial arts hall every month.
"It's time to find a way to make money."
While eating, Chen Xuan wondered if he was going to 'return to his old business'.
Write a few yellow books to make some quick money first.
Bang bang!
At this moment, Chen Xuan heard the sound of the door being pushed open.
He looked up and saw a lean man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, walking in with two tall and fat men.
"Gang of thieves."
Seeing the lean man walking in front with a sharp-beaked monkey gills, Chen Xuan frowned slightly.
The people who live in Changningfang have been patronized by the thieves.
Everyone knows about some members of the bandits, and there are even people who are bumped into during the day, but ordinary people can't afford to mess with the gang, even if the bands can only be regarded as a group of rabble.
Unless it is really impossible to live, otherwise the thieves take some things, and if they see it, they can only treat it as if they don't see it, even if they report to the official, it is useless, the thief is arrested by the government, and the thieves will come to retaliate at night.
The idea of ordinary people is to break some small fortunes to avoid disasters.
"Tut-tut, Chen family boy, is your food very good, braised elbow, braised fish, stewed pheasant with radish, these three dishes add up to more than 100 yuan, it seems that selling fish is very profitable!"
The lean man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks saw the dishes on the table, and reached out without quality to grab the last elbow on the plate and gnawed it, and after eating a few bites, he couldn't help but praise: "Chen family boy, you can cook well, you are almost ready to rush to the chef in the restaurant." ”
Chen Xuan looked at the lean man, as well as the two tall and fat men standing behind him, and said calmly: "I don't know what happened to the three of them?" ”
"Hey, hey, hey, it's naturally a great joy to come to you." The lean man finished gnawing on his big elbow, then grabbed the braised fish with only the tail left and sucked it, and said while sucking: "In a few days, it will be Luo Ye's seventy-year-old birthday, do you say this is a great joy." ”
"Seventy birthday, congratulations, I wish Luo Ye good fortune like the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan!"
Chen Xuan said perfunctorily.
"This birthday celebration, just saying congratulations can't be done, you have to show sincerity."
The lean man finished sucking the fish's tail and began to drink the chicken broth.
Hearing this, Chen Xuan knew that the thieves were coming.
The Luo Ye in the mouth of the lean man is the leader of the thief gang.
This is to take advantage of the birthday banquet of the thief gang leader, blatantly asking for money!
If you don't give gifts, you don't give face to the thief gang leader.
Afterwards, the thieves will naturally not let you have a good time.
"Tell me, how much do you want."
Chen Xuan said expressionlessly.
"Other families are sending 200 Wen." After drinking the chicken soup, the lean man wiped his mouth and said, "But the Chen family's boy, your conditions are so good, there are elbows, fish, and pheasants for a meal, and you only give two hundred Wen to look down on you, at least you have to send one or two silver." ”
"A tael of silver!" Chen Xuan immediately said: "The River Department governs the river, ordinary fishermen are forbidden to fish, I don't sell fish anymore, the shops in the vegetable market have all returned, and they haven't made money recently, one or two silver is too much, can you have less." ”
"You didn't make money, you ate so well, and you have elbows, fish and pheasants, who are you fooling." The thin man said coldly: "This is Luo Ye's seventieth birthday, if you don't give face, don't blame us for digging three feet into the ground to see how deep your money can be hidden." ”
Hearing this, Chen Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a sharp ray of light flashed in his eyes.
I didn't practice martial arts before, and I was just stolen some money.
But now, he actually forced him to give money, and he opened his mouth for one or two pieces of silver, which he couldn't bear, but even if he wanted to do it, he had to come secretly, and he couldn't let the thieves catch it.
Although the bandit gang is not a gang, there are still warriors in the gang.
"A tael of silver is a tael of silver, you wait a minute."
Chen Xuan left the kitchen and came to the room to get it.
"Here you go."
After a while, Chen Xuan gave the lean man seven big coins and three copper coins.
"Hahaha, that's right, Chen family boy, thank you for the birthday gift to Luo Ye."
The lean man took the money and walked away with a contented laugh.
Leaving Chen Xuan's house, the lean man began to go to another house to collect the 'gift money' for his birthday.
After collecting all the birthday gifts on this street, it was completely dark at this time, and the lean man and two tall and fat men took the birthday gifts and returned to the gang.
"Who!"
While passing through an alley, the lean man noticed something strange and turned suddenly.
