Pushing martial arts horizontally: starting from predicting opportunities

Seeing that everyone was carrying prey behind them, Xu Guang was a little curious, "Brother Hao, don't you have to pay taxes?"

The hunter tax is stipulated by the city guard of Feiyun City. Anyone who goes out of the mountain must pay half of the prey.

Hearing this, Hao Wenzhuan chuckled, "Brother Xu doesn't seem to know much about Feiyun City's regulations. We are mercenaries. We are on a mission this time. We have identity plates and missions with us. According to Feiyun City, The city stipulates that mercenaries kill the enemy and collect all the proceeds for themselves, and these are all collected from the enemy."

What he said was meaningful, as if he felt a little sorry that Xu Guang didn't bring any prey.

Hearing this, Xu Guang smiled softly.

Although he is also greedy for prey, he still feels that keeping his strength secret is more important.

Getting out of the mountain was smooth, and returning to the city was equally smooth.

When I got home, it was already noon.

The weather in the city seems to have changed. Although it is still lifeless, the streets look a little more lively than before, as if Feiyun City is slowly recovering.

Everyone first went to the Sanwei Division to report the details of the mission. No gains were made, only the most basic rewards. What was given to Xu Guang was only one tael of silver and more than ten kilograms of chestnuts of average quality, which was better than nothing.

Xu Guang held something in his hand and hurried home.

It is the time for newlyweds to get to know each other by eating their marrow. After being apart for a few days, they have absorbed so much essence and blood. Xu Guang's longing for Ji Xiaolu has also reached its peak.

In front of the courtyard of No. 136 in the shanty town, Xu Guang heard the voice of the woman inside without opening the door.

"Sister Chunniang, your hands are so skillful and your weaving is so good." It was Ji Xiaolu's voice.

Xu's mother's voice also came, "Chun Niang, when you are free in the future, you can come to my house to teach Xiaolu."

"Don't worry, Auntie, I will teach Miss Xiaolu well."

This was an unfamiliar female voice, and Xu Guang also heard the sound of children playing.

Xu Guang opened the door and instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The courtyard was very lively, with Ji Xiaolu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and a strange woman. The woman was dressed in mourning clothes and had a soft face. Her long hair was blowing in the wind, but it was not messy. Her dark eyes were full of sorrow.

Behind the woman, there are two little guys, one is Wang Wen, who is about to be seven years old, and there is a little Lolita who is about five years old. Judging from the look between the little girl's eyebrows, she should be one of the daughters of a strange woman. Category.

The noise made by Xu Guang when he pushed the door was not small. After all, the courtyard of No. 136 was very dilapidated, so there was a loud noise when the door was pushed open.

When Ji Xiaolu saw Xu Guang, his eyes lit up, and with deep longing, he stood up suddenly, but seemed to think of something again, so he stood there holding the corners of his light blue simple skirt and timidly said, "Brother Guang, You are back."

In comparison, Xu's mother was much calmer and just said lightly, "My son is back."

Xu Guang nodded to Xu's mother, took a few meters in one step, hugged Ji Xiaolu, and spun him around in the air, "I'm back."

The woman dressed as a widow quickly turned away, but her heart was full of envy for Ji Xiaolu.

There were people around, and Ji Xiaolu was already so embarrassed that he buried his head in Xu Guang's chest, not daring to poke his head out.

"Uncle! Auntie is scared, I want to come too!" Wang Wen's voice came out at an inappropriate time.

Xu Guang put down Ji Xiaolu in his arms somewhat sarcastically, ignoring his nephew who was holding his thigh, and looked at Xu's mother with a somewhat embarrassed look.

Everyone said that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was difficult, but she didn't know if she would dislike Ji Xiaolu if she behaved like this in front of her mother.

But obviously, his worries were completely unnecessary.

Although Xu's mother glared at him, she said, "Why are you still not letting go of Xiaolu? She is different from you."

Xu Guang was speechless and quickly turned his gaze to the strange woman, "Mom, who is this?"

"This is Chun Niang, who lives in No. 143 behind us." Ji Xiaolu suppressed the shyness in her heart and whispered in Xu Guang's ear.

"Her man used to be from Feiyun Guard. There was a battle outside the city a few days ago. He went there and never came back."

Xu Guang was a little silent when he heard this.

He has seen many things like life, separation and death over the years, and he himself has caused many of them.

Sympathy is a very luxurious emotion for him at this stage.

Chun Niang seemed embarrassed to stay any longer, so she quickly called to the little Lolita, held her hand, and said to Xu's mother, "Aunt, Xiaolu, and... Xu family brother, I have something to do at home, so I will go back first."

When she left, Wang Wen was a little reluctant, reluctant to let go of the child he had just met yesterday.

Xu's mother was a visitor and knew that the young couple had something to say, so she pulled Wang Wen, who had soy sauce on his lips, towards the house.

There was no one in the courtyard, Xu Guang let himself go completely, and with a little strength in his arms, he held Ji Xiaolu in a princess hug.

"I'm not here these days. No one bullies you and mother, right?"

Ji Xiaolu shook her head, her face was rosy, "No, I heard that the city guard wrote a letter to someone. These days, many chambers of commerce came to Sifang City and Qingshui City, bringing a lot of food. When I was selling food yesterday, I I heard those people say they can hold on until the autumn harvest."

When Xu Guang heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He had only been there for three days, but the food shortage problem in the city was actually solved?

Suddenly, I felt that the higher-ups in the city, especially the city guard, were quite nice people. At least they were willing to help the people in the city solve the problem of food and clothing, so that they would not be unable to spend any money they had.

He was also a little happy in his heart. After all, Feiyun City was settled, and so was his little family.

"That's a really good thing."

Unexpectedly, when Ji Xiaolu heard this, he actually shook his head, "It's not all a good thing. After the news of the former daily grain store's reopening came out, everyone flocked there. Many people spent all their money on the black market and hid in the alleys to wait. Robbery and murder..."

Xu Guang was stunned, "Who dares to kill people in the inner city?"

Ji Xiaolu was a little embarrassed, "It's the outer city. Some people outside said that the food in the outer city is cheaper..."

The food has arrived, but the supplies in the inner city and the outer city are different. In the outer city, they only have low-quality chestnut rice and bran, while in the inner city, they have japonica rice and white flour, which are more expensive.

"I'll buy it from now on. As long as I'm here, our family won't be short of money."

Ji Xiaolu smiled and nodded, with a bit of fear in her eyes. It was obvious that yesterday's chaos made even a person like her who came from among refugees feel shuddering.

Xu Guang didn't say much. Ji Xiaolu had always been obedient, and it was also to save money for his family. He just wouldn't go there in the future. There was no need to say anything more, "What's going on with that Chun Niang? I see that Xiao Lu'er is very close to her." "

"We met the day before yesterday when we were buying grain. My brother-in-law and eldest sister found out that I was selling grain in the outer city, so they came over. Some people thought that Sister Chunniang was good-looking, so they wanted to drag her away. My brother-in-law drove her away, so I sent her away. She went home. Husband, you don’t know that Chun Niang is very good at weaving."

After a pause, Ji Xiaolu seemed to feel the worry in Xu Guang's heart, and said softly, "Chun Niang is a poor person. Her husband is from the tenth household in Feiyun Guard. They were married for seven years and stayed at home very rarely. He died some time ago. After that, many people started targeting her. Only after the family's money was gone did they let them go.

There was a lot of turmoil in the city a while ago, so Xinghua was kept from starving to death by helping the neighbors make clothes in exchange for some food. Fortunately, the city guard didn't take back the yard, otherwise..."

Xu Guang nodded, put aside some bad guesses in his heart, and hugged Ji Xiaolu tightly, "Well, let's not talk about this anymore. Xiaowen came to the inner city to attend private school?"

"My eldest sister sent it over on the first day you left. The paperwork from my brother-in-law is coming soon, and he should be able to move it in as well."

After being affectionate with Ji Xiaolu for a while, Xu Guang talked to his mother for a while, and played with Wang Wen for a while.

Then he stood in the yard and took out the dragon knife spear that he had made at Master Niu's place. The spear was more than four meters long. The spear head on it was a bit weird. It was slightly longer than the average spear head. The side was like a knife and could be chopped. , the top can be used to stab, Xu Guang likes the weapon in his hand very much.

Xu Guang was not good at using it. The gun was one of the most difficult weapons to get started with, so Xu Guang could only practice it slowly.

After just a few thrusts and slashes, he had to stop. The yard was too small, and it was better to practice boxing. But practicing with such a long spear, there was not enough space to move around.

He was not in a hurry. His first search for modification of the technique had not yet been completed because it involved modification of the bone forging technique, which would take ten days.

He doesn't have any shooting skills now, he just wants to practice his shooting skills.

The most important thing is Golden Liu Kung and its accompanying footwork and boxing techniques.

Jinliu Gong is currently his main skill, and the Bone Forging chapter is about to be completed, and he is looking forward to it.

In the next three days, he thoroughly consolidated the skyrocketing progress he had made in refining the viscera essence and blood in the previous days before starting to practice again.

Two more days.

[Golden Liu Gong Bone Forging Chapter (81%)]

It's almost time. The bone forging is about to be completed. Xu Guang looked satisfied. Considering that it has only been less than two months since he embarked on the bone forging, he is about to complete the bone forging. This cultivation speed should be considered extremely fast.

…

…

In the evening, a figure hurriedly walked into the shantytown and knocked on the door of No. 136 Courtyard.

It's Li Yuan.

Since the last mission, Xu Guang had deliberately distanced himself from him. This person had a bad character.

"It's Brother Li, why are you here today when you are free?"

Li Yuan glanced at Xu Guang and said with a smile, "Brother Xu, how have you been resting these days? Brother Hao intends to go to the Sanwei Division again to receive the mission. I'll come over and invite Brother Xu."

Xu Guang looked him up and down and shook his head, "Sorry, Brother Li, food came to the city a few days ago, and I bought a lot at home. I want to spend more time with my family, and I have no plans to go on a mission for the time being."

When Li Yuan heard this, he snorted coldly, with anger and joy on the surface. He seemed to feel that Xu Guang's rejection made him lose face. Following Hao Wenzhuan in the past few days, he had seen a lot of the romance in the inner city. He had no experience with Xu Guang. Mudleg had already looked down upon him.

"Brother Xu, we and the mercenaries are here to solve problems for Feiyun Guards. If you hide like this all day long, be careful when the time comes and the Three Guards will punish you!"

Xu Guang said nothing. Although Li Yuan had a bad temper, he was not a fool and understood what Xu Guang meant.

He immediately snorted coldly, turned around and left angrily.
