The city is inhabited by wealthy families, or well-to-do households. Families in shantytowns outside the city are relatively poor.

Compared to the bright lights in the city, the shanty town is pitch black.

Hong Banxian's home is not far from the front, and he is familiar with the road. Who knew that his body was submerged in the darkness, and the shock was abrupt......

"Oh, damn thief, someone robbed me of my silver......" Hong Banxian's frightened and angry cry rang out in the darkness.

With the exclamation, I saw Hong Banxian turn his head and rush back, he opened his hands empty, crying endlessly.

The three people who followed him were gone.

Occasionally, passers-by, seeing this scene, their feet are even more hurried.

Hong Banxian was angry in his heart, he knew that it would not be too late to calculate a hexagram for himself and then close the stall! Who would have expected that he would make a fortune and suffer a catastrophe.

Hong Banxian stomped his feet, and when he was grieving, a figure came to him. Noticing movement around him, he looked up and saw a thin young man smiling at him.

Let's say that when Lin Yi was at the corner of the street, he saw Hong Banxian removing fish bones for people, so he quietly stood aside and watched the excitement.

Hong Banxian had words, but it was not full of nonsense, but a spell that Lin Yi was familiar with. Speaking of which, he has been reciting familiar since he was a child. This spell is called "Going to the Sea Spell", which is really a small spell to remove fish bones, and it is found in the "Xuanyuan Rune" recorded by Xuanyuan Patriarch. This so-called "Spell to the Sea" has been cast countless times by Master Qingyun Dao Chief, and it is sometimes ineffective.

When he left the Immortal Peak, Lin Yi had already copied all these mantras and talismans used in the mundane world to Wu Daozi. It's just that I didn't expect this Hong Banxian to do this.

Lin Yi saw that Hong Banxian's spell worked, and he also earned ten taels of silver, and felt that this person was also a bit capable.

At night, there are no people at the city gate, and the people who come and go are either out of the city or go to the lively places in the city, so there are few onlookers. But when he saw Hong Banxian rushing away, two people followed sneakily. Seeing this, Lin Yi knew that something had changed, and he also walked out of the city gate.

Sure enough, as soon as he walked to the dark place of the shantytown, one of them couldn't wait to rush up and snatch the money bag from Hong Banxian's arms. The other person quietly hid aside, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to the matter, he also sneaked away. Lin Yi saw clearly behind him, and wanted to help this Hong Banxian in his heart, so he stepped forward.

"...... this little brother?" Hong Banxian wiped his snot and looked at the young man in front of him. In the night, the young man's eyebrows were like knives, his face was friendly, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Hong will go home and wait, and I will go and recover the money bag for you." ”

Lin Yi nodded at Hong Banxian, raised his feet and left. Before Hong Banxian could understand, the young man in front of him was gone.

Hong Banxian hesitated for a while, this young man can really help him get back the money? After he left, how could the young man find himself? He was uneasy, but he was also helpless, so he could only be suspicious of his luck and go back to wait first.

Lin stepped into the darkness of the shantytown, then pinched his hand and hid his figure. After unfolding his senses, he locked a direction for a moment, and he soared into the air, leaning against the roof, and leaping away.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Yi passed through the shantytown and came to the embankment.

There are many grass huts on the embankment.

Lin Yi gently lowered his figure and walked to a grass hut.

In the straw shed, under an oil lamp, two people sat on a straw mat.

One is short and stocky, the other is skinny. After the two of them also galloped all the way, they had just sat down, and they were panting, so they couldn't wait to open the money bag and check the harvest tonight.

At this moment, the firewood of the grass shed "creaked" open, and the two of them were startled, and the thin man stretched out his hand to cover the things on the straw mat. The Humpty Dumpty looked up and was about to get angry, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw a young man with a calm demeanor appear in the grass hut.

"The two of you have gained a lot!" Lin Yi walked in with a teasing tone.

"This brother, we know the rules of the rivers and lakes, and we have a share, and you have 30% of the ten taels of silver. Humpty Dumpty patted his chest and put on a well-informed appearance.

The thin man was distressed, holding on to the silver and unwilling to let go. I robbed the money myself, so I was willing to share it with others.

Lin Yi's gaze fell on the short and fat man, showed a playful smile, and said, "This brother Tai came from Siping all the way away, so he is doing such a thing?"

The short and fat man's face changed suddenly, and he lost his voice: "How do you know that I am from Siping......?"

The thin man on the side, his two eyes were rolling around, he didn't know what the two were talking about, but he also interjected: "This brother is on that road, please report your name, and see you in the future!"

Lin couldn't help grinning when he saw that the other party had even used the incisions on the rivers and lakes, he patted the waist card on his waist and said, "I am a horse breeder from the Tianlong Sect, what about this one who hasn't answered me yet?"

Hearing the Tianlong Sect, the two of them were shocked and looked at each other.

No one cares whether the other party raises horses or not, but the Tianlong faction is too famous. The thin man's hands holding the money bag slowly let go, but the corners of his distressed eyes twitched. The short and fat man had a bitter face, and said flatteringly: "I don't know that Zunjia is a person from the Tianlong faction, if you are offended, you can take all this silver!"

Lin stretched out his hand, and the money bag had already flown into his hand.

The strange change in front of him made the thin man want to stretch out his hand, but when his hand was in the air, he suddenly realized, his face immediately turned pale, and he stared at the comer in a daze, and he didn't dare to say anything.

Humpty Dumpty also stayed on the straw mat, wondering a little in his heart, why did this money bag fly up all of a sudden?

"If you answer my questions honestly, maybe I will spare you. Lin Yi took the money bag into his arms, and his tone turned cold.

The thin man was frightened by Lin Yi's method just now, and he didn't dare to say anything, looking at the two of them with fear in his eyes. How could this person of the Heavenly Dragon Sect have a grudge against this partner of his, and could he be implicated?

"In Siping County, you colluded with the water thieves and robbed the dart team halfway. With this alone, I can kill you!" Lin Yi put away his smile and said coldly.

Hearing this, Humpty Dumpty panicked, hurriedly got up and knelt on the straw mat, kowtowed, and begged for mercy repeatedly: "The little one Cha Si begged the uncle to spare his life! The little one was also forced! The little one grew up in Siping since he was a child, and he accidentally met this gang of thieves, and he was forced to be helpless, so he ventilated for them. If I don't, they're going to kill someone!"

This short and fat person is one of the two people who spied on the entrance of the Taiping Dart Bureau when he was in Siping County. The other person was a water thief, who had been killed by Lin Yi on the Qin River.

Humpty Dumpty's name is Cha Si, he is so lazy and used to it, he somehow hooked up with the water thief, and he actually became the eyes and ears of the water thief.

Every time the water thief will give Cha Si a lot of money. Cha Si is happy to be like this, anyway, whether these thieves kill or rob goods has nothing to do with him.

Unexpectedly, when he heard that the water thieves were wiped out, Cha Si cut off his financial route. And when Yuan Fengming and Che Hai went back, Lin Yi also informed the two of them about the fact that there were people watching around the dart bureau. After the two went back, they naturally had to take strict precautions against the Tangkou of Siping County.

Cha Si felt bad, and was afraid of getting into trouble, so he ran to Qincheng. After all, Qincheng is a state city, much larger than Siping County, and there should be many opportunities to make a fortune. Who would have thought that there would be gangs on the dock to maintain, and it would be even more difficult to make a living in the city. He met Ning Er, a thin man who was also idle, and they smelled like each other, so they started stealing chickens and dogs.

The two of them were wandering around the city gate, and when they saw that Hong Banxian had collected ten taels of silver, how could they not be tempted, so Ning Er, who was light and light, took action and robbed Hong Banxian's silver.

It's just that before the two of them had time to be happy, they met Lin Yi, a disciple of the Tianlong Sect, and the two knew that they couldn't afford to provoke them, but who knew that the other party still put on a posture of wanting to kill.

Ning Er secretly shouted bad luck. Cha Si was even more frightened, the young man in front of him didn't know him, but how did he know where he came from? Life mattered, and he hurriedly told everything he knew, fifteen and ten.

Thinking of the ferocity of those arrogant water thieves above Qin Shui, Lin Yi really wanted to kill Cha Si in front of him.

But human life is at stake, and death cannot be resurrected. They were all born and raised by their parents, and everyone had a hard time living, and the two of them were just roosters and dog thieves, so he hesitated, but he still couldn't kill him.

"I'll let you wait for you today, so you can do it yourself!" Lin Yiyi, ignoring the two of them, turned around and left the grass shed.

......

Hong Banxian returned home in despair, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl came forward.

"Daddy has worked hard!"

The girl's face is white, her eyebrows and eyes are handsome, and her dress is neat.

Seeing his daughter, Hong Banxian came back to his senses. He forced a smile and said with pity: "Quan'er! Daddy is not hard, is your mother okay?"

Quan'er brought a basin of water and said obediently: "Mother is lying on the bed! I have seen Lang Zhong today, don't worry!"

Hong Banxian wiped his face indiscriminately and took out a torn oiled paper bag from his arms.

"Huh—it's so fragrant!" Quan Er twitched her nose, her big eyes full of surprise.

Hong Banxian secretly smiled bitterly, the silver is gone, and this dog meat is still there.

"Fell to the ground halfway, Quan'er took it to wash it with hot water, ate it with your mother, and made up for it"

Quan Er happily answered, and took the oil paper bag to clean up.

There was a sudden low coughing sound in the inner room, and Hong Banxian showed a trace of worry on his face, and hurriedly ran over.

On the couch in the back room, there was a woman leaning on her, who was Hong Banxian's wife.

Seeing that his wife's sallow cheeks were covered with a layer of red tide, hugging the horns and desperately gagging her mouth, Hong Banxian stepped forward and leaned on the side of the bed, gently supported his back, and said distressedly: "Madame coughs if she wants to, why be so patient and don't let her husband feel more anxious!"

After a while, the woman stopped coughing, the red tide faded, and a layer of fine sweat oozed from her cheeks. She said apologetically: "Let the husband worry, the concubine is fine!"

"What did you say when Lang Zhong came today?" Hong Banxian helped his wife sit on the bed and asked with concern.

Lang Zhong said that the disease of the concubine only needs to be recuperated. Hong Banxian's wife was apprehensive, Lang Zhong said so, but he also said that it is necessary to use precious and great tonic medicine to recuperate effectively. It's just that the current family situation is in dire straits, so I can only suffer by myself.

"Alas——! it's useless for the husband!" Hong Banxian also knew about his wife's illness. Thinking that if today's silver is still there, it is no longer difficult to see a doctor and grab medicine, and presumably his wife's depression is also hopeful.

"Mother, this is dog meat that Daddy bought. If my mother eats it, she will get better soon!" her daughter Quan'er walked in with dog meat.

The wife stared at Hong Banxian with doubts in her eyes, dog meat is not cheap, and ordinary people can't afford it.

Hong Banxian smiled and said, "Yes, Madame, try it, this dog meat is good." ”

I was puzzled, but I didn't want to open my mouth to ask, knowing that my husband's daily life was not easy, and the family's original savings were also exhausted by my illness. With a relative, her eyes were red.

Hong Banxian saw his wife like this, his heart was like a mess, but he heard a person's voice outside the house.

"Is Mr. Hong at home?"
