Time is not fast, slow is not slow, and in the blink of an eye, two days have passed.

I got up early in the morning before dawn, carrying a weapon box on my back, and was about to go to the martial arts training ground to practice various moves and routines, but I happened to see the always taciturn old Hu, who was talking to an aunt by the vegetable garden outside the courtyard at this time.

Is that...

Wei Ming suddenly became interested, could it be that Lao Hu was an admirer in a nearby village?

Thinking like this, Wei Ming quietly walked over, just in time to hear the aunt say gratefully: ... Who doesn't know that you are here, you have helped us block many grabs for decades, and everyone doesn't know how to thank you! We really can't come up with anything good, so we can only give you this

As she spoke, the aunt pushed Lao Hu into a big basket containing all kinds of fruits and vegetables, as well as dozens of eggs and some salted fish and bacon.

Seeing that Lao Hu took it, the aunt immediately showed a smile on her face, and then took out a casserole and handed it over, and said at the same time:

There is also this pot of soup, which I specially boiled for you, you eat it together, you're welcome

The aunt said this, but Wei Ming looked at it from a distance, although the casserole was not small, it was at most enough for two or three people to eat, and then thought of Lao Hu's usual amount of food, Wei Ming felt that he seemed to understand something, and his face couldn't help but show a look of understanding.

At this time, Lao Hu was silent for a while, and finally couldn't resist the expectant eyes of the aunt, so he had to reach out and take it, and said politely: Then thank you Auntie

Aunt Hehehe smiled heartily and said: Then I will go back, and I must come to our village to have a look when I have time

After speaking, the aunt seemed to look at Lao Hu a few times with reluctance, and then turned around and left.

Before seeing the aunt leaving, he also walked out, with a little teasing, and said with a smile: Hehehe, Lao Hu, your woman is quite good! There is also an aunt to deliver things, it's good to be handsome!

Lao Hu was not surprised when he arrived, in fact, not long after Weiming approached, Lao Hu had already found out.

The third young master made fun of Lao Hu and smiled slightly, and explained modestly: The old man has lived in seclusion here for many years, and occasionally robbers and bandits come to loot the village, we will help to send it away, and unconsciously, we will get along with the villagers. At the same time, we take it as our responsibility to do chivalrous deeds, and we have done many righteous deeds, and the nearby government will sometimes entrust us to help solve some things and pay enough compensation.

I see, I said that why does the master always have the money to buy new pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and give us pocket money from time to time?

Of course,This is naturally part of the pretend.,I didn't know about it for a long time.,It's just that I don't know it deeply.,As for the memory of playing games in the previous life.,I've forgotten a lot of it early on.,Just remember some approximately.。。

At this time, I listened to Lao Hu continue to explain: In fact, all the sects and factions on the rivers and lakes are also like this, the third young master, you think, we start a sect, it is inevitable to occupy some land, if it is like Wudang Shaolin, these sects have a whole mountain of land as a foundation, and there are thousands of disciples.

In addition to food, we also need to buy weapons, clothing, and other materials from time to time, so how can we earn so much property to support our disciples and maintain our inheritance?

How to earn? Hearing Lao Hu talk about the key point, Wei Ming asked with the opportunity.

If the sect has enough land, it will distribute the land to the tenants and collect the tenants' rent, and then it will protect the nearby Baixin and help the government deal with some matters.

He nodded inexplicably, thinking that this is indeed the case, the sects on the rivers and lakes are basically big or small, even if they are a little down-and-out, they all have some of their own industries, such as the Yequanmen in Luoyang, don't look at the father and daughter left now, but they also have their own industries, well, that is, the ring next to the blacksmith shop in Luoyang.

And when he didn't think clearly, Lao Hu next to him seemed to have opened the chatterbox, and continued to gush:

Why are there rivers and lakes? What about those of us who are in the rivers and lakes? It is because there are many lawbreakers in the world, and most of the people are powerless to resist, and the government is also due to various reasons.

It is not possible to properly protect all people. This is the space for us to act chivalrous and give full play to our abilities.

Speaking of this, Lao Hu took a breath and continued: In fact, this is also a kind of mutual benefit, we protect the people, the people are grateful to us, and they are friendly with us; And the government has our help and has a good relationship with us, so it will not interfere too much in our actions.

So that's the case, so to speak, today's Jianghu sect is somewhat similar to the family families in the Northern and Southern Dynasties! Wei Ming said with some emotion.

Although Lao Hu is quite complicated, in fact, the real situation may be far more complicated than what Lao Hu said.

Lao Hu heard the unclear sigh, and nodded in agreement, and said: The third young master is right, today's sect is like a private school in the form of a dock fort, we occupy an area to establish a sect, open the door to teach apprentices, protect the sect with force, and also protect the people around us. We are not under the jurisdiction of the government, but we often cooperate with them, and even today there are many famous sects and families that evolved from the dock fort.

Well, I see!

Wei Ming nodded, and then looked at Lao Hu with a look of adoration, you know so much! Lao Hu

Lao Hu smiled indifferently and said: Hehe, it's just a little bit of family history!

Family History?

Wei Ming was about to ask, but he heard Lao Hu Lao Hu say: It's not too early, Lao Hu should go to work, if he has a chance one day, he will talk to the third young master in detail.

After speaking, Lao Hu Chong nodded his head, then turned around and picked up the basket on the ground and the casserole that still had residual warmth, and walked to the kitchen.

Wei Ming looked at Lao Hu's back, smacked his lips a little unsatisfied, and thought: It seems that I have to find a suitable opportunity to have a drink with Lao Hu, maybe I can learn his family knife technique.

But after thinking about his current realm, he thought about it for a while, and felt that it was better to wait! Otherwise, if Lao Hu is drunk and crazy, he can't stop him

Thinking like this, Wei Ming looked at the sky, although he had been talking to Lao Hu for so long, but in fact, it didn't take long, and less than two quarters of an hour had passed, so Wei Ming turned around and walked towards the martial arts training ground.

As soon as he walked to the martial arts training ground, he met his senior brother Gu Yuexuan.

Morning, big brother! Wei Ming greeted with a smile.

Senior Brother Yaya Yuexuan responded with a smile, then looked at the weapon box behind Wei Ming, and suddenly his face moved, and said:

Speaking of which, I haven't tested my junior brother's martial arts for a while, so why don't you take advantage of it now and let your senior brother see your recent results?

Wei Ming was slightly stunned, and before he could answer, a thorn suddenly sprang out next to him, and he said directly:

Want to fight? Count me in!

I, I, I, and I! Then Wei Ziyan came out of nowhere, and said expectantly.
