Chapter 19 New Year's Eve

Break in through the door and get out with the box!

After walking around several alleys, Li Yuan still felt a little trembling, not from fear, but from excitement.

In his past and present lives combined, he had only fought a few times. Even though he had thought about it before taking action, he was still sweating all over.

"It's my first time... Bah, these gangsters have gone too far..."

Leaning against the wall, it was difficult for Li Yuan to describe his feelings. Nervousness, excitement, fear and other emotions were all rolling in his heart, but the excitement was obviously greater than the others.

In his previous life, he had never done anything so exciting.

"The moves are moves, and the way of fighting is the way of fighting. When it comes to fighting, adaptability is more important. Moreover, I am not ruthless, and my hands are lighter..."

Li Yuan reflected on himself and reviewed his actions in his mind.

"I didn't say a word, and I covered my face, so I shouldn't have left any traces?...I, am I protecting myself?"

He thought to himself that he was very decisive. He didn't show his face, didn't make a sound, and didn't even use the long-handled training hammer he had prepared. The beginning and end were also very clean.

After muttering a few more words in his mind, Li Yuan knelt down and opened the two small boxes.

In one mouthful, there was a thick pile of IOUs. The top one was the one from the second brother who had nine out of thirteen returns. Under it, there were a lot of six out of eighteen returns and seven out of eighteen returns.

I flipped through it casually and found that there was almost nothing with less interest than the second brother's IOU.

"This evil-hearted maggot is indeed setting a trap for my second brother..."

Li Yuan regretted that he had started too lightly.

But even if he was given another chance, he would not dare to kill anyone.

First of all, the laws of the Universiade Dynasty were extremely strict, and he did not want to run away in panic and be wanted and feared for the rest of his life.

Secondly, he has been abiding by the law for more than 20 years. Even if he has learned martial arts for a few months, he still does not have the courage to kill more than a dozen people at once...

Stab~

After tearing all the IOUs into pieces to ensure that no one could recover them, Li Yuan opened the second box and started counting.

Twelve taels of broken silver and one hundred taels of silver notes. In addition, there were more than ten pearls the size of the belly of a little finger, which seemed to be of good quality.

"This adds up to at least two hundred taels of silver!"

Even though he had seen it in the house before, Li Yuan still couldn't help but take a breath.

Two hundred taels of silver!

His second brother worked in the Chai Gang and went out of the city every day before dawn. After a month of hard work, he only had seven qian of silver, two hundred taels, and it took him 23 years to save even if he didn't eat or drink!

This is just an estimate, after all, he doesn't know the value of pearls at all...

"So much money!"

Li Yuan's heartbeat quickened, he picked up the banknote and stuffed it into his arms.

But when he thought about it, he felt something was wrong, so he took out the Liuhe Boots from the space of the palm weapon, stuffed the broken silver and silver notes into it, and then put it back on the stone platform.

It’s done now!

"It's so easy to make money from dirty lending..."

Throwing the wooden box into the snow nest, Li Yuan was still a little stunned.

Lenders don't leave too much money in their hands. Most of Qian Bao's belongings are actually the pile of IOUs.

But he had no interest in blackmailing poor people, so he threw the wooden box into the snow-covered ditch.

"After losing all his belongings and receiving a beating from me, he will not be able to become a demon for at least half a year. After half a year..."

After stepping on the snow again, Li Yuan turned around and left.

At this time, the north wind blew, and the light snow gradually became heavier.

"It's different..."

Walking quickly in the snow, listening to the crunching sound under his feet, Li Yuan's restless heart gradually calmed down.

The world is different, and so is he.

…

…

"call!"

"suck!"

In Fatty Sun's small courtyard, Li Yuan stood on a white ape stake, with feet as strong as roots and arms swinging like willows, moving with the wind, wandering and moving in the courtyard.

"Medicinal supplement is the key!"

Li Yuan raised his arms and danced with the hammer. Most of Li Yuan's attention was focused on the trace of blood in his body. With the supplement of medicinal food, the speed of blood transport was much faster than before.

Any martial arts is easy to learn but difficult to master, not only the White Ape Cloak Hammer, but also the Three Yuan Sword and Sickle Technique.

This is difficult to master, but it's not just a move, it's a blood energy.

Qi and blood are not generated out of thin air. Every ray of blood comes from the body and is not supplemented by medicinal food. With his qualifications, the blood is also growing, but he estimates that it will take at least five years for the blood to cover both arms. of hard work.

This was after he had practiced the fighting method of fighting with the killing hammer, otherwise it would have taken much longer.

But if there are medicinal dietary supplements every day...

"It can be done in a year at most!"

Slowly putting away his posture and exhaling the turbid air, Li Yuan opened his eyes and saw Fatty Sun with a face full of pain, as if what he was spitting out was not air.

"It's all my money!"

Fatty Sun's heartbroken face was trembling with fat.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lao, I will definitely repay the money!"

Li Yuan hurriedly packed the tickets and talked about his progress at the same time. He became more and more proficient in the cloak hammering technique.

"Shit! To achieve a small level of proficiency, it will take more than a year to support the fine bones with medicinal food. You..."

Fatty Sun regretted that he shouldn't have borrowed so much money.

He only earns more than 20 taels a year, and this kid owes him almost 18 taels. Even if he comes home from nine out of ten, he still feels sick.

"I'm definitely faster."

Li Yuan didn't even blink.

"You fart!"

Fatty Sun didn't believe it. He snorted twice and then said:

"The shop has two days off on New Year's Day, but you'd better stay in the shop. I heard that Chaiyu Fang is in chaos, and a group of gangsters were beaten seriously..."

"Nian Jiu was just arrested that year. The city is so strict. Who is so bold?"

Li Yuan was a little shocked and a little scared.

He underestimated the reaction of the county government after Nian Jiu's murder. Qian Bao was beaten that night, and the next day, the yamen officers patrolled the streets. He even saw Qiu Long, the commander of the army in the city.

He was a big shot from Shenbing Valley. He was more majestic than the county magistrate. The three hundred men under his command were all elite. It was no problem for him to fight ten people alone.

"Who knows?"

Fatty Sun was a little gloating:

"I heard that Qian Bao's belongings were all robbed, and even the IOU was lost. If he didn't die, he would be half disabled..."

"The IOU is gone? That's great. My second brother still owes him money!"

Li Yuan pretended to be overjoyed.

"Why didn't I think of borrowing a few hundred taels from him?"

Fatty Sun felt a little regretful:

"By the way, if you go back, remember to come back on the morning of the second day of the New Year. If you miss the inner courtyard assessment..."

Ignoring Fatty Sun's threat, Li Yuan nodded and left the yard.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, so he naturally has to prepare to go home. A few days ago, his second brother came to the shop to find him.

"Brother Li, this is the New Year's goods you want!"

At the gate of the middle courtyard, Liu Qing was already waiting here, carrying large and small bags of things: "So many things, it's not easy to carry one, can I help you send it back?"

"No need."

Glancing at the apprentices in the middle courtyard, Li Yuan picked up the New Year's goods and went out.

On the day before the New Year, the city was very deserted, and there were few pedestrians on the streets and alleys, which made Li Yuan, who had been visiting the big market for a few days, feel a little sorry.

...

Bang!

Bang!

The fireworks filled the night sky, quite densely.

Li Lin, who was always thrifty, also bought some firecrackers and took Li Yuan to set them off outside the door. Inside the house, his sister-in-law Wang Juan was busy in the kitchen, and the aroma of meat was already wafting.

Li Yuan poured two catties of wine and poured a cup for his sister-in-law.

The wild Taoist priest had no rules. He took his second brother to clink glasses, and soon, several people were a little drunk.

"By the way."

Li Yuan put down the cup and remembered something:

"Then Qian Bao's parents used to be our long-term workers?"

"Hiccup~"

Li Lin's face flushed and he shook his head:

"That Qian Bao's bastard, we have nothing to do with him... Speaking of long-term workers..."

He paused and said:

"The long-term worker in our family was named Qin, and we had a good relationship. It was he who told me about the recruitment of apprentices in the forging shop..."

"Huh?!"

Li Yuan's heart trembled, and he was no longer drunk:

"Qin Xiong?!"
