Chapter 19 New Year’s Eve Break in and carry out the box! After walking through several alleys, Li Yuan still felt a little trembling, not because of fear, but because of excitement. In his past and present lives, he had only had a few fights, and even if he had thought it through before starting a fight, he would still break out in a sweat. "It's my first time... Bah, this group of scoundrels is going too far..." Leaning against the wall, Li Yuan found it difficult to describe his feelings. Nervousness, excitement, fear and other emotions were all churning in his heart, but the excitement was obviously greater than the others. In his previous life, he had never done anything so exciting. "Moves are moves, fighting methods are fighting methods. When the real fight comes, it is more important to be able to adapt to the situation. Besides, I am not ruthless, and my hands are gentle..." Li Yuan reflected on himself and reviewed his actions in his mind. "I didn't say a word, and my face was covered, so there shouldn't be any traces left? ... I, I am protecting myself?"
He thought he had been very decisive. He did not show up, did not make a sound, and even did not use the long-handled training hammer he had prepared. Everything was done cleanly from beginning to end. After muttering a few more words in his mind, Li Yuan squatted down and opened the two small boxes. In one of his mouths, there was a thick stack of IOUs. On the top was the one my second brother paid out nine and got back thirteen. Below that were many IOUs in the amount of six and eighteen, or seven and eighteen. I casually flipped through it and found that there were almost no IOUs with lower interest than the one my second brother had. "This evil-hearted maggot is really setting a trap for my second brother..." Li Yuan regretted that he was too gentle. But even if he was given another chance, he would not dare to kill anyone. Firstly, the laws of the Dayun Dynasty were extremely strict, and he didn't want to flee in panic and be wanted and live in fear for the rest of his life. Secondly, he had been abiding by the law for more than 20 years. Even if he had learned martial arts for a few months, he didn't have the guts to kill more than a dozen people at once... stab~ After tearing all the IOUs into pieces to make sure no one could recover them, Li Yuan opened the second box and began to count them. Twelve taels of silver, a silver note for one hundred taels, and in addition, there were more than ten pearls the size 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 inside the house before, Li Yuan couldn't help but gasp. Two hundred taels of silver! His second elder brother worked in the firewood gang, leaving the city before dawn every day, and worked hard for a month to earn only seven cents of silver, two hundred taels. It would take him twenty-three years to save up money without eating or drinking! This was just an estimate, after all, he had no idea of the pearl's value... "So much money!" Li Yuan's heart beat faster and he took the banknote and stuffed it into his arms. But after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he took out the Liuhe Boots from the space in the Zhangbing Lu, stuffed the silver coins and banknotes into it, and then put it back on the stone platform. Now it’s settled!
"It's so easy to make money from lending money..." After throwing the wooden box into the snow nest, Li Yuan was still a little shocked. Lenders would not keep too much money in their hands, and most of Qian Bao's belongings were actually the huge stack of IOUs. However, he had no interest in blackmailing poor people, so he threw the wooden box into the snow-covered ditch. "He lost all his belongings and was beaten by me. He won't be able to do anything naughty for at least half a year. After half a year..." After taking two more steps on the snow, Li Yuan turned around and left. At this time, the north wind was blowing and the light snow was gradually getting 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 courtyard, Li Yuan stood on the White Monkey Post, his feet as firm as roots, his arms swinging like willows, moving with the wind, wandering and moving in the courtyard. "Medicine supplements are the key!" Raising his arms and swinging the hammer, Li Yuan focused most of his attention on the trace of blood and energy in his body. With the nourishment of medicinal food, the speed of blood and energy transportation was several times 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 Element Sword and Scythe Technique. This difficulty is not only about the moves, but also about the blood and energy. Qi and blood do not come out of thin air. Every strand of qi and blood comes from the body. Without medicinal food to replenish it, with his qualifications, his qi and blood are also growing. However, he estimates that it will take at least five years of hard work to achieve the state of qi and blood covering his arms. This is because he has practiced the fighting method of the military way of fighting hammer, otherwise it would take longer. But if he had medicinal food to nourish himself every day... "It will take at most one year to achieve some success!" He slowly put away his posture and exhaled the foul air. When Li Yuan opened his eyes, he saw Fatty Sun with a painful look on his face, as if what he exhaled was not air. "It's all my money!" The fat on Fatty Sun's face was trembling with heartache. "Don't worry, chef. I will definitely pay you back!" Li Yuan hurriedly made a promise and talked about his own progress at the same time, saying that he had become more and more proficient in the cloak hammer technique. "Bullshit! It takes more than a year for a person with superior physique and the support of medicinal food to reach a minor level of proficiency. You..."
Fatty Sun felt a little regretful that he shouldn't have lent out so much money. He only earned more than twenty taels a year, and this kid owed him almost eighteen taels. Even if he gave nine out of thirteen, he still felt the pain. “I’m definitely faster.” Li Yuan didn't even blink. "You fart!" Fatty Sun didn't believe it. He snorted twice before saying: "The shop has two days off for the New Year, but you'd better stay in the shop. I heard that Chaiyufang is in chaos and a group of thugs were beaten and seriously injured..." "Nian Jiucai was arrested that year. The city is so strict. Who is so bold?" Li Yuan was a little shocked and felt a little scared. He underestimated the reaction of the county government after the Nian Jiu murder case. Qian Bao was beaten that night, and the next day, government officials were patrolling the streets. He even saw Qiu Long, the commander of the garrison in the city. He was a big shot from the Divine Weapon Valley, with higher authority than the county magistrate. All of the 300 men under his command were elite soldiers, and it was no problem for him to defeat ten enemies alone. "Who knows?" Fatty Sun seemed to be gloating: "I heard that Qian Bao's belongings were all stolen, even the IOU was lost. If he's not dead, he's half disabled..." "The IOU is gone? That's great, my second brother still owes him money!" Li Yuan pretended to be very happy. "Why didn't I think of borrowing a few hundred taels from him?" It's a pity for Fatty Sun: "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..." Automatically 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 look for him. "Brother Li, this is the New Year's gift you requested!" At the entrance of the middle courtyard, Liu Qing was already waiting here, carrying large and small bags of things: "There are so many things, it's not easy to carry one at a time, can I help you take them back?" "No need." After 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 Lunar New Year, the city was surprisingly deserted, with few people walking on the streets, which was a pity for Li Yuan, who had been visiting the market for several days. …… boom! boom! The fireworks filled the night sky quite densely. Li Lin, who has always been frugal, also bought some firecrackers and took Li Yuan outside the door to set them off. 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 pounds of wine and poured a glass for his sister-in-law. The wild Taoist priest had no rules. He pulled the second brother to clink glasses with him, and soon, they were all a little drunk.
"correct." Li Yuan put down the cup and thought of something: "Then Qian Bao's parents used to be our family's long-term workers?" "Hiccup~" Li Lin's face turned red and he shook his head: "That bastard from Qian Bao's family, we have nothing to do with him... Speaking of farmhands..." He paused for a moment before saying: "The former farmhand of our family was named Qin. He had a good relationship with us. It was he who told me about the recruitment of apprentices in the weapon forging shop..." "Um?!" Li Yuan's heart trembled, and the alcohol was gone: "Qin Xiong?!" (End of this chapter)
