After raising the little rat in captivity, Zhuang Xiaobai bought a lot of supplements, seven or eight meals a day, what he ate, what the little mouse ate, until the little mouse had a nosebleed, Xiaobai lowered the amount appropriately.

Xiaobai did this, and had other plans, mainly to see how much the little mouse's body would change when he pulled out the seedlings, which was very important for opening a martial arts hall in the future.

At present, the biggest headache of opening a martial arts hall is that there are no disciples, Zhuang Xiaobai also considered letting the newly recruited gangsters join the martial arts hall to learn martial arts, which is a shortcut, but he always feels that he is creating evil, so he gave up.

The appearance of the little mouse made Zhuang Xiaobai's eyes shine, although it was a waste of time and energy, but the roots are red, as long as he is cultivated in a short time, then he will adopt a large number of little beggars, such as the method of concoction, the martial arts hall will naturally grow in momentum, and there will inevitably be people who will come to apprentice at that time.

A month later.

The little mouse gradually gained weight, his little face was ruddy, his little eyes were bright and bright, and his strength was much greater.

Zhuang Xiaobai finally breathed a sigh of relief, damn it, Lao Tzu spent more than three hundred taels of silver, and his hard work was not in vain, but when he thought of the silver, he began to worry again, recently Uncle Xia and Second Master Wu have rarely come to see him, I don't know if he is too busy, or he wants to swallow his own share.

Pinching his fingers, the days of dividing the money have been more than five days, but there has been no movement, Zhuang Xiaobai can't sit still, if these two ghosts don't knock and knock, they really don't have a temper.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Xiaobai instructed the little mouse to train quickly and not to be lazy, then went back to the room to change into clean clothes, and left the house angrily.

After searching for a long time, Zhuang Xiaobai finally blocked Wu Chi in the tavern.

At this moment, Wu Chi's face was flushed, and his spit was flying to tell the achievements of the three ghosts on Tianyan Street, and the younger brothers who listened were attentive and full of admiration.

"Second Master Wu, are you done talking?"

Zhuang Xiaobai's cold voice came from behind.

"Uh, why are you here?"

Wu Chi laughed and hurriedly motioned for Zhuang Xiaobai to sit down and drink.

picked up the peanuts and threw them into his mouth, Zhuang Xiaobai had a black face, and said lightly: "Second Master Wu is in the wine pond every day, did he forget the third brother a long time ago?"

Seeing that Zhuang Xiao's vernacular was thorny, Wu Chi was much more sober, motioned to the younger brothers to wait outside, and then accompanied by a smiling face, he said: "Brotherhood is in my heart, and besides, you are busy cultivating martial arts every day, how dare I bother you, hehe..."

"Damn, you're embarrassed to talk to me with your broken mouth, don't talk nonsense, give me the money!"

"You go and ask Xia Liu for money, he is responsible for collecting money this month, and I haven't even caught a single hair so far. ”

"Others?"

"Gone, I haven't seen him for ten days. ”

Zhuang Xiaobai was stunned, the three of them are bare-cheeked dolls, they have played since they were young, they would never believe that Xia Liu would roll up the money and slip away, and it would not be cost-effective for him to do so.

"Have you been to his house to look for it?" Zhuang Xiaobai asked.

"I found it, no, his parents were also worried. Wu Chi replied.

"Wu Er was stunned, you are really good, you didn't notify me of such a big event, his grandmother's still came to drink leisurely. ”

Zhuang Xiaobai had a premonition, and suddenly became worried, and when he saw Wu Chi as if he was fine, he was even more furious.

"Grass, such a big person can still lose it, Xia Laosao must have taken the money to go to the kiln. ”

Wu Chi also lost his temper, and Lao Tzu didn't make a mistake, why scold me, look at me stupidly, and bully.

The two of them were half-red-faced, and no one was speechless.

After a long time, Zhuang Xiaobai took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Although Xia Liu is lustful, he is also measured, and when it comes to the day of the penny, it is impossible for him not to come back, you hurry up and take your brother to inquire around." ”

Nodding, Wu Chi put on his shoes and said to himself: "Damn, it's better not to let me find it, otherwise I will have to castrate him!" After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and left with his younger brothers.

......

After looking for two days, there was still no clue, Zhuang Xiaobai knew that something must have happened, and what he was most worried about was that Xia Liu was secretly killed, and then dug a pit and buried it.

"Do you think it could be Chen Kun's black hand behind his back?" Wu Chi guessed.

After pondering for a long time, Zhuang Xiaobai shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Xia Liu is just a foil, if Chen Kun really wants to take revenge, he will definitely trouble the two of us." ”

Zhuang Xiaobai dared to conclude that it was not Chen Kun who did it, it was because he did not cut off all of Chen Kun's financial routes, although it was very unpleasant because of the vegetable market, but Chen Kun did not kill anyone.

"It's really not good, let's go and report to the official, the huge ancient salt city is like looking for a needle in a haystack just by us looking for it. Wu Chi suggested.

"I'm afraid that reporting to the official will have little effect, after all, Xia Liu is just missing, and those headhunters will not be idle and go through the streets and alleys to find it. ”

"What then, do you want to give up like this?"

Zhuang Xiaobai was just about to speak, when a little brother ran in from outside the door.

"There's news. The little brother said excitedly.

"Speak quickly!"

Zhuang Xiaobai's spirit was shocked.

"I heard that Brother Xia is being detained in the leisurely gambling house. The little brother said.

"Thank God he's not dead yet, tell me what's going on?" Zhuang Xiaobai asked.

"I heard that Brother Xia had an affair with the proprietress of the leisurely gambling house, and after the matter was revealed, Zhang Jiao, the owner of the leisurely gambling house, was furious and secretly sent someone to arrest Brother Xia, as for what happened after the arrest, I don't know. The younger brother explained.

Hearing this, Zhuang Xiaobai's face was pale, and he scolded Xia Liu in his heart for deserving it, as soon as he mixed up a little human appearance, Sao Kidneys began to be active, who is not good, she has to be a woman with hard stubble, and Zhang Jiao, the owner of the leisurely gambling house, chopped a kick, and the West District had to tremble.

"Hey, brother, let's go to burn Xia Liu's first seven. ”

As soon as I heard that it was a leisurely gambling house, Wu Chi was also stupid, Xia Liu fished it into Zhang Jiao's hands, and if he didn't die, he was a cripple, but he was an old underworld force, and if he wanted to pull teeth from the tiger's mouth, he didn't have to think about it.

Zhuang Xiaobai put his hands behind his back, walking back and forth, thinking about how to rescue Xia Liu, this time the opponent is not as easy to deal with as Feng San, the leisurely gambling house has raised dozens of thugs alone, and with the relationship between Zhang Jiao and the major forces, it makes me have a headache when I think about it.

Stopping, Zhuang Xiaobai turned his head to look at Wu Chi, and said in a deep voice: "You hurry up and take your brothers to collect protection money, the more the better." ”

"How do you collect it yet?"

Wu Yan's face was full of bitterness, Xia Liu had just finished harvesting for less than half a month, and now if it is forcibly harvested, it will inevitably cause the merchants to join forces to resist.

"Damn, how to collect it and use me to teach you, we are out to mix, if you don't give it, you will smash it, and you will be beaten to death. ”

Zhuang Xiaobai instigated, the current hard fight with the leisurely gambling house is definitely to hit the stone with an egg, since Xia Liu is still alive, it means that Zhang Jiao has no intention of killing him, so he can only ask for the luxury of ransom Xia Liu with silver.

"Okay, I'll go now, whoever doesn't pay, Lao Tzu will poke him a few holes!"

With such an agitation, Wu Chi also became angry, picked up the dagger and put it in his arms.

"Wait, explain it to everyone clearly, it's just a month's in advance, if anyone doesn't give face, they will be thrown out of the vegetable market. ”

Seeing that Wu Erlenzi was about to commit a tiger again, Zhuang Xiaobai could only calmly tell him again.

"Well, you also have a share in the vegetable market, why don't you go?"

"I... I'm a special person, so I'm not fit to show my head. ”

Zhuang Xiaobai was a little flustered, he only wanted to collect money every month, and he didn't want to be infamous on his back, although it was not authentic to do so, but if he wanted to open a martial arts gym in the future, he had to get rid of the title of a gangster, otherwise, it would be bad to say.

"Grass, Second Master Wu really deserves you!"

Dropping a sentence, Wu Chi did not procrastinate, and rushed to the vegetable market with his younger brothers.
