Bang! Bang! Bang!

Su Heng smashed it three times in a row.

It wasn't until he heard a crunch that he threw the big stone in his hand aside.

After thinking about it, Su Heng felt that it was still a little unsafe.

Pu Dao, who picked up Huang Mazi from the ground, slammed it towards his neck, almost cutting off Huang Mazi's neck, which can be regarded as a sigh of relief, and he collapsed on the ground and gasped.

"This is the way of the world, if you don't kill me, I will kill you..."

First killing.

Su Heng's heart was blank.

After the matter was over, I slowly felt afraid.

He felt his heart pounding violently.

Swish!

A cold wind blew.

Su Heng shook his head and quickly came back to his senses.

"Although this valley is hidden, there is no guarantee that no other herb pickers will pass by, so I have to leave quickly."

Su Heng noticed that Huang Mazi was carrying a rag blanket on his body, and he carefully took it off the corpse.

Open it and pour out a whole bunch of stuff with a bang.

Seven or eight black herbs, a dull yellow pamphlet, and a few oily copper coins.

He put the herbs in his back basket, and the copper coin was placed in his close-fitting trouser pocket, and the last dark yellow booklet, Su Heng squinted and looked at it, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

It is a map in the Wukui Mountains.

Those veterans of medicine pickers will have a few "treasure lands" that they know.

This dark yellow booklet is the map that Jute used to record these "treasures".

Although the lines on it are very abstract.

However, in more than half a year, Su Heng was already very familiar with Wukui Mountain, and he should be able to find the location recorded in the booklet.

"With this booklet, I should be able to collect many herbs in the next few months, and my immortal-eating talent can continue to play a role..."Su Heng said secretly in his heart.

Followed by.

Su Heng was beside the stream, cleaning the blood spots on his clothes.

Then he carried the basket on his back and quickly left the valley.

……

Wukui Mountain is about 20 miles away from Deling County.

By the time Su Heng returned to Deling County, it was approaching dusk.

City gates.

A long stream of people, bathed in the red light of the setting sun.

Su Heng slowly followed the crowd and moved in the direction of the city gate.

Approaching the city gate, Su Heng saw a notice posted in a conspicuous place on the city wall.

The notice was painted with a portrait of a middle-aged man with a feminine face, and the words Bai Ruici, the left protector of the White Lotus Sect, offered a reward of 1,000 taels of gold were written below.

Seeing the words on the portrait, Su Heng thought of his eldest sister.

His eldest sister was recruited to defeat the White Lotus Sect a month ago, and has not yet returned.

This matter was supposed to be for him.

But Su Heng is the only son in the family, and he is only fourteen years old this year.

And his eldest sister, although she is a woman, is more burly and powerful than ordinary men.

In addition, it costs money to dredge up relationships.

That's what happened.

As for Su Heng's mother, she had already become ill from hard work long before Su Heng crossed over and died of illness.

In order to save money for Su Heng to go to the temple to learn martial arts, his father ventured into the depths of Wukui Mountain to collect medicine, and was bitten to death by a poisonous snake.

Today, Su Heng has a family of five.

Only Su Heng and the second sister Su Ping were left to rely on each other.

When Su Heng came to the city gate, the eyes of the guards suddenly lit up, and they stepped forward to check it.

"You've gained a lot this time." The guard pinched a ginseng in his hand and said in a loud voice.

"It's all thanks to you, my lord." Su Heng hurriedly took out two copper coins from his arms and handed them over, bent down to make a move, and then he was able to let him go and enter the county seat.

Deling County is divided into two urban districts, the inner and the outer districts.

Each city is divided into more than a dozen neighborhoods, large and small.

It was getting late, Su Heng lowered his head and hurried quickly, passing through several streets full of garbage and rancid smell, and after turning two small alleys, he saw his only home in the world in a string of bungalows.

On the bamboo pole in front of the house, there are still washed and worn clothes.

There is only a slight difference in color between men's and women's clothing.

When he was still about ten steps away from his home, Su Heng stopped and saw a few thugs kicking the door of his house one by one.

One of them was a burly man, dressed in a gray cloth shirt, and his exposed arms were full of muscles.

This person's name is Xu Biao.

He is the leader of the Tiger Head Gang who is responsible for collecting protection money.

"Xu Biao, didn't you just pay the protection fee this month? Why are you still here? Su Heng walked in front of Xu Biao and said with an unkind face.

Xu Biao stopped what he was doing, turned around, and glanced at Su Heng up and down.

Then he said with a smile: "The rules have changed, and from now on, we will collect regular money every half a month." ”

Su Heng's face turned dark.

In the past, I used to collect protection money every other month, and I barely survived.

Nowadays, the protection fee is collected every half a month, which is no longer cutting leeks, but digging the roots of leeks.

Su Heng thought of the other day.

The county town sent troops to recruit the White Lotus Sect, but there was no news of the bird.

There may be a connection between these two things... Aren't even gangs like the Tiger Gang optimistic about the current situation in the city?

Su Heng was not angry in his heart.

But now it is obviously irrational to clash head-on with the Tiger Gang.

He took out ten big coins from his pocket and put them in Xu Biao's hands. Unexpectedly, Xu Biao stretched out his hand and weighed it twice, glanced at Su Heng, and said lightly: "Recently, prices have risen, and the money will be one percent higher." ”

Su Heng's face became even more ugly.

If it weren't for the fact that I happened to harvest a copper coin from Jute Zi today, something would really have happened.

He took out a copper coin from his arms again and put it in Xu Biao's hand.

So far.

Xu Biao showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"Brother Su, you're interesting." Xu Biao grinned, and then mentioned as if unintentionally: "By the way, hasn't your eldest sister come back yet?" ”

"You don't have to worry about it." Su Heng replied expressionlessly.

"Huh."

Xu Biao sneered twice and beckoned his two younger brothers to leave from the door of Su Heng's house.

……

watched the figures of Xu Biao and others disappear into the alley.

Su Hengcai knocked on the door and shouted loudly: "Sister, it's me, I'm back." ”

There was the sound of moving the benches and tables in the room, and after a while, with a click, the dilapidated wooden door slowly opened, and in the dark room, a young woman with a twenty-eight appearance poked her head out.

Although the woman in front of her was a little haggard, her complexion was a little dull yellow because of long-term malnutrition.

However, the facial features and face are still beautiful.

This woman is Su Heng's second sister, Su Ping.

It is precisely because of coveting his sister's appearance that Xu Biao has been leading people to hang around.

In the past, when his eldest sister and father were there, Xu Biao could still be afraid.

But now that there have been a series of changes in the family, Xu Biao has obviously done something wrong in his heart, and he is just waiting for an opportunity... Thinking of this, Su Heng also had a faint sense of crisis in his heart.
