Alienated Martial Arts

After coming out of Qianji Grain Store, Wei Tao first found a restaurant to eat two large bowls of noodles, and then walked slowly towards the location of the jade workshop.

Tomorrow is a day off for my mother and sister.

He had nothing to do anyway, so he wandered around until the afternoon, just in time to pick them up from work.

Then he stopped by to pick up his father, who was staying at Gu Gu's construction site, and the family had a long-lost reunion dinner.

The sound of hawking on the roadside is endless.

Coupled with the sound of bargaining,

The sound of children crying,

And the coquettish voice of the hook-and-rail woman attracting customers,

All kinds of sounds mixed together, immediately adding a lot of fireworks to the cold weather.

Wei Tao stopped in front of a shop selling roast chicken, wondering if he should buy one and take it back to drink with Wei Rongxing.

The skin of the whole chicken hanging in the fireplace is charred but not burnt.

The meat is tender, white and plump inside.

The tangy aroma comes in waves,

Smell it and you can't help but whet your appetite.

While he was choosing, the crowd behind him suddenly surged, forcing him to move half a step forward.

Click!

Wei Tao grabbed a certain black and thin palm, and with a little force, he heard the crisp sound of the finger bones cracking.

This was a boy who looked to be in his teens at most, wearing tattered coarse clothes. There was a blade hidden in the hand that was caught, and he didn't have time to throw it away.

But in just such a moment, Wei Tao found that his sleeve had been torn, and the money bag inside was missing.

The young man was in pain but said nothing.

Instead, with a cruel expression on his face, he raised his knee and hit Wei Tao's vital part.

Bang!

There was another muffled sound, and his neck was stuck and pushed against the wall.

Wei Tao lowered his head slightly and stared at the muddy face, "Even if I beat you to death right here, there will be no consequences."

"So, you'd better explain the whereabouts of your accomplices and return the stolen money honestly, so that you can save your own life."

Suddenly, a tall figure separated from the crowd and came to the two of them. "This brother also looks like a martial arts practitioner. Why do you have to deal with a child like him?"

"Haha... Xiaohe just showed off his sharp horns. I didn't expect someone to actually show up."

Wei Tao narrowed his eyes and turned to look at the young man who had just appeared, "So, you are his accomplice?"

"What accomplice, I don't know what you are talking about."

"I only know that he is still a child. Even if he accidentally did something wrong, he should not be treated so roughly." The young man dressed as a scholar said while reaching out to pluck Wei Tao's arm.

Bang!

The forearms of the two people touched each other, and there was a dull sound like a stick hitting leather.

Wei Tao didn't expect that the opponent seemed weak, but he was also a warrior who practiced Qi and blood.

Caught off guard, the strength in his hands relaxed, and the ragged young man slipped from the wall like a loach, slipped into the crowd a few times, and disappeared without a trace.

Wei Tao's face turned cold little by little, "Since you took the matter on yourself, please compensate me for the money that was stolen just now."

"What money? What does your lost money have to do with me?" At this time, the young man also saw the cut on Wei Tao's sleeve. He immediately turned around and left without any hesitation or hesitation.

"You want to leave without losing money?"

Wei Tao took a sudden step, "I want to be a saint just by talking. How can it be so easy?"

Suddenly, two eyes shot from the crowd and were fixed on him.

They were two tall, stout men,

The positions are one on the left and one on the right.

It happened to protect the young scholar secretly in the middle, and also blocked his way forward.

"Okay, very good." Wei Tao took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, watching the other party turn around and leave without making any further attempts to stop him.

After a while, the moving crowd returned to normal, as if nothing had happened just now.

After walking some distance forward, Wei Tao stopped by a stone alley, as if waiting for something.

Soon, a man in black came closer.

First, he presented a huge oil paper bag with both hands, and then said with a respectful expression, "Master Wei, the brothers who are already flexible in the meeting will follow."

Wei Tao took the oil paper bag and smelled the delicious smell of the roast chicken. "Have the two groups followed?"

"Everyone is following. As soon as there is definite news, we will report it to Mr. Wei immediately."

"Well done."

Wei Tao nodded with satisfaction, "Go back and tell you all about the meeting. When I'm done with this, I'll buy him a few drinks."

"How dare you trouble Mr. Wei to treat us to a guest? As long as Mr. Wei comes to show his respect, it will be the greatest honor of our Qinghe Association."

……………………

A thin figure walked quickly through the narrow and chaotic stone alley.

From time to time, he looked behind him to confirm if anyone was catching up.

His heart was still pounding, but apart from a little nervousness, it was mostly due to uncontrollable excitement.

That idiot whose money was stolen, so what if he was a martial artist? Wasn't he being manipulated by him?

As for the guys who came out to help him out, it would be best to fight with the martial artist in the street, and it would be happy if they both died.

For no other reason than the fact that they had money on them, they deserved to be stolen and deserved to die.

After turning several turns, he stopped in front of a dilapidated courtyard.

He looked around and saw that there was no one around, and without going through the gate, he turned over with a deft move and jumped over the stone wall into the yard.

"Brother."

A little girl came up to her,

Give him a bulging money bag.

Except for her, no one else has returned yet, and the whole yard is silent.

The thin black boy didn't care and went straight into the house with half a door missing.

After all, today is market day,

This is also when they are busiest,

Unless you touch the big fat sheep,

Otherwise no one would come back early.

First he got some water from the earthen jar and then carefully opened the money bag he found.

"hiss!"

He couldn't help but gasp, and stood there blankly as if he had been cast on a body-fixing spell.

"I thought that since the bag was so heavy, it would contain a bunch of copper coins, but I didn't expect that it was all filled with large and small silver ingots."

The purse contains at least a dozen taels...

No, it was probably more than twenty taels of silver.

Such a large amount of money, even if they spend it with enough energy, will be enough for them to be happy for a long time.

developed.

This time it is really developed.

The young man took a deep breath and walked back and forth in the room, but his excitement could not calm down.

Taking another look at the intoxicating silver light inside the bag, his eyes suddenly became a little wandering, and his facial expressions also changed continuously, as if he was caught in some kind of entanglement and hesitation.

Soon after, he finally made his decision.

His eyes gradually turned cold, and he looked quietly at the excited girl beside him.

The money spent by one person and spent by a group of people are two completely different concepts.

"Brother?" The little girl noticed the suddenly strange atmosphere in the room, the smile on her face disappeared little by little, and she called out tentatively.

"Xiao Li'er, close your eyes and I'll give you a surprise gift."

Waves of light flashed in his eyes, and a blade quietly appeared in the palm of his right hand behind his back.
