Save the Bachelor of Heaven

With Bai Zhantang returning his finger, the pawnshop theft case was officially solved.

Although the thief was not caught, but the lost property was recovered, which is considered an explanation.

Xing Butou is complacent about this, thinking that it is his wanton search and arrest that makes it impossible for the thief to sell the stolen goods and has to be forced to return the lost property.

And if he didn't bother, the order in Qixia Town was quickly restored.

Once again, Tongfu Inn was full of guests, and there was no empty seat. Tong Xiangyu smiled again, and she was no longer as sad as before.

Lu Xiucai no longer has to worry about his few taels of silver and land deeds, and can't sleep at night.

White Horse Academy started school again, and Mo Xiaobei could continue to go to school to play.

Xiang Nan also moved back home, and continued to practice hard on finger skills under the guidance of his mother.

Everything returned to calm.

Only Guo Furong didn't understand that question until she saw the purse that Bai Zhantang took out by accident.

"So it's you! You're an old thief!" Guo Furong gritted her teeth.

"What, what is me? What's the matter with you?" Bai Zhantang asked puzzled.

"You still said! That purse is mine!" Guo Furong jumped up and ran after Bai Zhantang, "I'll kill you!"

It turned out that her family education was very strict back then, and her parents never let him go out alone. It was hard to survive until the age of sixteen, and my parents finally let go.

She happily roamed the rivers and lakes with a hundred taels of silver in her pocket, and originally wanted to make a name for herself in the martial arts and surpass her father. Unexpectedly, the wallet was stolen before leaving the capital.

As a result, she had no choice but to go home in despair, and was grounded for another two years before she was allowed to come out to venture into the rivers and lakes again. For this reason, she hated that thief to death.

But he never thought that the thief would be Bai Zhantang.

At this moment, she finally had a personal experience and realized that what Xiang Nan said was right.

Those who advocate stealing from the rich and giving to the poor are all poor people, thinking that they may benefit. But once his own interests are damaged, he will immediately turn his face and deny anyone.

...

"Storm waves, overwhelming mountains and seas, high winds and high waves, turbulent waves..." Xiang Nan practiced the Surging Wave Palm move by move in the courtyard.

Although he is very familiar with the changes of moves in this martial art, he still can't move his strength from the heart, and it's still hard to follow his heart's will.

Xiang Nan didn't dare to slack off all day, and practiced diligently every day without poking. Because he knew that Yang Huilan would come soon.

Although Xiang Nan is not interested in Yang Huilan, the purpose of coming here is only to learn martial arts. But if he could defeat her and marry her as his wife, it would be regarded as beating a rabbit.

It's just that Yang Huilan's 64-style widow's knife is so powerful that even Bai Zhantang is a little scared.

Of course, Yang Huilan's martial arts is not as good as Lao Bai's, and he has repeatedly caught his attention. But Xiang Nan thought to himself that his current martial arts might not be comparable to Bai Zhantang.

He and Yang Huilan are probably not the same, so we have to work harder.

"Brother Big Mouth, you practice martial arts really well." Guo Furong praised Xiang Nan with a smile when she saw Xiang Nan's every move with vigor.

Before that, she had always regarded Bai Zhantang as her idol, and she even spoke ill of Xiang Nan. Later, because Bai Zhantang took her wallet, her idol dream was shattered, and now she thought of Xiang Nan's benefits again.

"Thank you." Xiang Nan said politely and distantly.

He managed to distance himself from Guo Furong, but he didn't want to continue entanglement with her.

"Brother Big Mouth, I'm sorry about what happened two days ago~" Guo Furong said again.

At the beginning, she not only spoke bad words to Xiang Nan, but also threatened to beat him, and even once abandoned him for being obsessed with Pirates. Now thinking about it, she is really outrageous.

"It doesn't matter, I learned from my experience, and I came here in the same way." Xiang Nan waved his hand.

"Brother Big Mouth, if you say that, are you willing to forgive me?" Guo Furong said excitedly upon hearing this.

"Forgive, why don't you forgive me." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "You are just like my sister. Even if my sister made a mistake, a brother can't deny it."

"Sister?!" Guo Furong was stunned for a moment, feeling that she had been hit by a thousand critical points.

"That's right, tell Brother if you have anything to say in the future." Xiang Nan smiled and walked out.

Guo Furong froze in place, unable to speak for a long time.

...

"Master, how much does this sword sell for?" Xiang Nan then came to the blacksmith shop and asked with an iron sword.

He is preparing for a martial arts competition. Since Yang Huilan used a knife, he couldn't fight the enemy empty-handed.

Because fighting weapons with bare hands will definitely suffer. Especially when there is not much difference in martial arts between the two, whoever has the weapon in his hand will have the advantage.

"This sword costs five taels of silver." The blacksmith immediately said upon hearing this.

"So expensive?!" Xiang Nan said in surprise.

This iron sword is not considered a sharp weapon, and it is so expensive, it is really outrageous.

"Of course, it takes a lot of energy to fight a sword." The blacksmith said, "If you think it's expensive, then buy a knife to defend yourself. The knife is cheap, only two taels of silver."

A sword needs to be sharpened on both sides, but a knife only needs to be sharpened on one side, saving more than half of the effort.

"..." Xiang Nan pursed his lips, he didn't expect the knife to be so expensive, "Master, is there any cheaper one?"

"Cheaper?! Then buy a gun head, and find a stick yourself. It's the same weapon." The blacksmith said again.

"How much is the gun head?" Xiang Nan asked again.

"One tael of silver," said the blacksmith again.

"..." Xiang Nan thought for a while, but decided to forget it.

Instead of carrying a gun, he might as well find a stick himself.

At least in terms of stick techniques, he knows the six-thirty stick technique, the white eyebrow stick technique, the crazy magic stick technique, the Asura stick technique and the common gate stick technique, and is quite accomplished in stick techniques.

In comparison, in terms of marksmanship, he only knows one set of poisonous dragon marksmanship. After all, Buddhism is merciful and only seeks to subdue the enemy, not to kill, so sharp weapons such as knives, guns and swords are not advocated.

However, he didn't come to the iron shop in vain, he still spent two renminbi to order a batch of flying needles.

At that time, using the stick method, palm method, fingering method, and hidden weapons together will definitely make Yang Huilan drink a pot.

...

Xiang Nan then went to the wood shop, picked a long stick, first baked it, then polished it smooth, then soaked it in tung oil to increase its toughness, and then air-dried it...

So soaked nine times in the sun, such long sticks are not only tough, but also rigid, and also resistant to corrosion, so they can be used for a long time.

While fiddling with his stick, Xiang Nan worked hard at practicing Jingtao Palm and flicking his fingers, preparing for Yang Huilan's arrival.

While Xiang Nan was actively preparing for the battle, Guo Furong was listless for several days in a row, and accidentally dropped several times when cleaning up the dishes.

"Xiao Guo, aren't you sick? Why don't you go see a doctor." Seeing this, Tong Xiangyu said with concern.

"Shopkeeper, I'm fine." Guo Furong grinned and said, it looked like she was smiling, but the smile was too creepy.

"Xiao Guo, are you really alright?" Tong Xiangyu asked in surprise, this was the first time she had seen Guo Furong like this.

"I'm really fine, the shopkeeper, I asked for it myself." Guo Furong said with a wry smile.

Tong Xiangyu didn't know why, and asked Bai Zhantang, Lu Xiucai, and Mo Xiaobei to no avail. Xiang Nan vaguely guessed it, but of course he wouldn't expose it.
