As the county seat got closer and closer, the population on the ground became more and more obvious, and gradually farmland appeared in front of Mo Chen. Mo Chen, who was constantly approaching the county seat, inquired about the villagers when he passed through a rural village on the road, and then he realized that he had arrived under the jurisdiction of Xiangyang Mansion, and the city in front of him was a small county town called Gu County, and by the time Mo Chen entered Gu County, it had already been another morning.

Passing through the low and dilapidated city wall, which seemed to have not been repaired for a long time, he entered the city, and found a two-story inn that looked good along the street, and Mo Chen walked in. At this time, it was just past noon, and there were still some people eating at the table in the lobby of the inn, and a few guys were busy greeting them. Seeing Mo Chen coming in from outside, one of them, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, with a white cloth towel on his shoulder, and a clever look on his shoulder, hurriedly greeted him with a smiling face.

"How many of you are there, are you eating or staying in a hotel?"

"I eat and stay in the hotel, give me a single room, and let the kitchen pick up a few small dishes and deliver them to my room. ”

"Okay, please come with me. When the guy heard Mo Chen's answer, his already smiling face became a little brighter, and he hurriedly raised his hand to lead Mo Chen to the second floor.

After Mo Chen finished eating, he left the inn and wandered around the county town without incident. Yesterday, Mo Chen settled in the wilderness and only slept for half a night, so he didn't sleep well. Mo Chen planned to have a good night's rest in the city today, and tomorrow he would rush to Xiangyang Mansion, enter Henan from Xiangyang, and finally enter Shandong.

Walking around the street, looking at the crowds on the street and the shops on both sides, Mo Chen had a very novel feeling. I have the impression that since he started practicing with his master, Mo Chen's daily life has been practice, practice, practice, and he has not even been to a place a little far away from his residence. And the experience before meeting Master more than a year ago, Mo Chen's memory was already very vague, and it was the first time after so long that Mo Chen was wandering alone on such a lively street.

Gu County is only a small county town, and the streets are not very spacious, and although the roads on the streets are not potholed and dilapidated, they are not far behind. At this time, most of the people coming and going on the street were ordinary people wearing gray or blue robes. Occasionally, there were people wearing brightly colored hats embroidered with various patterns, all of whom were wealthy people in the city, and the shops selling Western goods, such as foreign painting shops and watch shops, were all in and out of the streets.

In recent years, with the increasing number of foreign merchants, these Western items have also become popular in China. These Western objects are not only used by the wealthy, but also by ordinary people in their lives, such as matches, which can bring great convenience to life.

This small county town is not very big, but it took Mo Chen some time to walk around. Mo Chen, who had been walking for most of the day, happened to see a stall selling mixed noodles on the side of the street, so he walked over and found an empty table and sat down to ask for a bowl of mixed noodles, which could not only rest his feet but also satisfy his cravings.

The stall owner is a middle-aged husband and wife, a man and a woman, and after listening to Mo Chen's order, he quickly began to put his hands and feet into the pot, and after a while, he brought up the noodles mixed with sauce. It's just that Mo Chen had just eaten a few bites of noodles when an accident happened.

I saw a group of menacing young people coming straight to the noodle stall from a distance, this group of people walked to the noodle stall and surrounded the middle-aged couple who were selling noodles, led by a man with a black spot on the left side of his face, directly grabbed the man's chest and said viciously:

"On this street, no one has ever dared to owe the eighth master money and not give it, but you are so capable that you dare not pay the money for three consecutive days?"

The middle-aged boss just waved his hand again and again and explained: "Brother Hei, where do we dare to owe money to the eighth master, isn't it that my son was seriously ill a few days ago, and our husband and wife took care of him at home, and they didn't come out to set up a stall, do we have to pay for it?"

The black brother who was the leader heard this, but he didn't buy it: "I don't care if you set up a stall or not, you have to hand over the money to me." This piece of land is in charge of my sunspot, and there is a fixed amount of money to pay to the eighth master in a month, and if you don't show up for three days, you can not pay for three days, so what should you do with the amount you lack in these three days?

"Brother Hei, Brother Hei, in order to treat my son in the past few days, our husband and wife have really spent all their savings! I made a few dollars from the stall here today, Brother Hei, you take it first, delay my efforts for a few days, I will definitely make up for you!" Although the sunspot has always been aggressive, the owner of the noodle stall only dared to explain the current situation with tears in his eyes, and took out all the money he received today from his arms: seeing that there were dozens of copper plates, he took them out and handed them to the sunspot in front of him, hoping that the person in front of him would be kind, and he would leave after receiving the money.

But obviously, people like Heizi have black hearts, and they are not moved by the situation of middle-aged people, and with a wave of his hand, he opened the hand of the noodle stall owner, and a large handful of copper coins in the hand of the noodle stall owner suddenly spilled on the ground, and several of them happened to roll upright until they hit the feet of Mo Chen, who was sitting next to him. Kuroko's eyes squinted at the middle-aged man in front of him:

Today, if your son is sick, he will dare to owe money and not pay it, and tomorrow other people's old mother will also owe money, and everyone on this street will dare to use this reason to owe me money in the future, so will I still collect money on this street in the future? Can I still collect money? If I can't collect it, how can I raise my head in front of the eighth master? This matter is no longer a question of money, but a matter of face. This is a problem of you not giving me face and disrespecting my sunspots! I must teach you a lesson today, otherwise how will you gain a foothold in the future?"

After speaking, Kuroko punched the noodle stall owner in front of him. It's just that this punch didn't hit the noodle stall owner who was closing his eyes and preparing to be beaten as he thought, but was held by a palm that suddenly appeared.

Mo Chen looked at the sunspot whose fist was being held in his hand and was desperately pulling back, and as soon as his palm loosened slightly, the sunspot who was pulling back violently fell to the ground all of a sudden.

At this time, the subordinates of the surrounding sunspots also reacted to the situation when they saw the sunspots who fell to the ground, and immediately flew over and punched and kicked Mo Chen. It's just that a few ordinary people who are extorting money on the street can be Mo Chen's opponents, Mo Chen didn't even move his steps, just twisted his body a few times to avoid the incoming punches, and then waved his fist unhurriedly, "Bang Bang Bang", although Mo Chen didn't exert all his strength, but his fists were also full of strength, and he only threw five punches with one punch to knock these subordinates to the ground and couldn't get up for half a day.

At this time, the leading sunspot had just gotten up from the ground, and when he saw that his little brother was all beaten down in an instant, he knew that he had encountered a ruthless stubble, and he didn't dare to step forward again for a while, standing stupidly in place.

"Huh! Mo Chen snorted coldly and said to the sunspot who was staying in place:

", don't let me see you again, or I'll break your legs!"

"You...... Do you know that I am a member of the Eighth Master? I came here to collect money, but I was protected by the Eighth Master, and if you beat me, it is equivalent to losing the face of the Eighth Master, and the Eighth Master will never let you go. Although Heizi didn't dare to make his own efforts, he had his back to the eighth master and had confidence in his heart, so he didn't show weakness in his mouth.

Seeing that the sunspot still dared to shout, Mo Chen frowned, his figure flashed in front of him, and kicked out violently. "Click. Kuroko's left leg was kicked off directly from the middle by Mo Chen.

"Ahh

Mo Chen no longer paid attention to the sunspot lying on the ground, turned around and walked to the side of the couple who were scared of the sudden incident in front of him, and said:

"Boss, settle accounts. ”

The noodle stall owner saw that the young man who had brutally interrupted the sunspot did not forget to come over to give money, Xu was a reasonable person, so he had the courage to speak up:

"You, you can't go. You injured the sunspot, the eighth master will not give up, if you leave, our husband and wife will definitely be unlucky. ”

Mo Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, frowned and thought for a while before saying:

"Won't you set up a stall in another place?"

"As long as you are in this county, no matter where you go, you will be found by the eighth master, not to mention that my home is nearby, and these people in front of me also know, where can I go?" The boss saw that Mo Chen was so easy to speak, and his courage gradually increased, and he spoke more and more neatly.

At this time, the sunspot lying on the ground had already recovered his strength, and when he saw the scene in the field, he first said to a few subordinates who had stood up in pain next to him: "Hurry up and inform the eighth master and ask him to send someone over." Seeing his subordinates leaving quickly, he threatened the two couples:

"Hurry up and catch him for me, don't let him run away, so that maybe the eighth master will forgive you in the future, otherwise the consequences you know." ”

Hearing this, the noodle stall owner's wife hurriedly took two steps forward and grabbed Mo Chen's arm and said:

"You do what you do and bear the consequences, don't try to run. ”

When Mo Chen saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and replied:

"I just saved you. ”

"We don't need you to save us! If you don't make a move just now, my husband will be beaten at most, and he will be able to make a living here in the future. Now you've broken Brother Hei's legs, and if you run away, our whole family will die. The woman screamed.

"You ......" Mo Chen just wanted to refute when he heard this, but he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. In this kind of world, some local gangs and forces dare to do things like murder and arson, and if only ordinary people are killed or injured, the government often copes with the matter, and the reason why such forces are so arrogant in many places is that they collude with the government, and ordinary people can only obey in the face of such a situation. So Mo Chen had no choice but to say to the woman:

"You let go, I just don't leave, no matter who comes, I will go down by myself, and I won't bother you. ”

Who knew that the woman listened to Mo Chen's words and grabbed it tighter, and said loudly:

"I won't let go, who knows if you lied to me, as soon as I let go, you're afraid you'll run away. ”

Mo Chen was really not lightly affected by this person, looked at the crowd of onlookers around him, stretched out another hand that was not grabbed by the woman and slapped her on the shoulder, the woman was shocked by the strength of Mo Chen's palm, and she no longer had the strength to grab Mo Chen.

Mo Chen broke free from the woman's entanglement, went directly back to the dining table where he was sitting just now, sat down again, and waited quietly.
