The Wheel-Turning Master

Huaxi County, Beicheng Gate.

Because there are villages built on the mountains outside the county seat, a market naturally gathered at the entrance to the north city.

It used to be owned by the county government, but somehow it was taken over by the Qinglong Gang, and even those who picked up excrement on the road had to pay.

Lin Bai set up his stall and did not make any noise to solicit customers. He just sat on a small stool and knitted straw sandals with his head down.

A pair of straw sandals costs ten cents and can be worn for ten days and a half. Most of them are bought and worn by hardworking people.

The work of knitting straw sandals is not very tiring, but it is time-consuming. It's not difficult. Poor people can make it up. They only have to work for a hundred days and can't spare the time to do it. Moreover, the profit margin of straw sandals is extremely low, and it is barely a living business.

The morning passed in the blink of an eye, and only five pairs of straw sandals were sold. Excluding materials and labor, the profit is at most a dozen dollars. At this moment, the sun was getting hotter and fiercer, and Lin Bai was ready to close the stall and go home.

As soon as he picked up the burden, Niu Er from the Qinglong Gang came over with two followers.

Niu Er was shirtless, holding a melon in his hand. While chewing it, he looked at Lin Bai with a strange smile on his face.

Lin Bai was carrying the burden, thinking to himself: What trouble have I caused again? In the morning, Dong Chao and Xue Ba from the Ax Gang came to see me. At noon, did you replace Niu Er from the Qinglong Gang? I didn't sleep with your wife!

"Second Master, it's only been a few days since I paid my monthly payment." Lin Bai tried.

"Who said anything about Yue Yin?" Niu Er was shirtless, threw away the half-eaten melon, laughed strangely, and said, "I heard you can turn the wheel?"

Is this some slang among you?

"What do you mean, Second Master? I'm a straw sandal seller, not a coachman." Lin Bai frowned, really not understanding.

"Hehe." Niu Er laughed strangely again, took a step forward, lowered his voice, and said with a lewd smile: "Qi Wangzu of the Ax Gang didn't ask anyone else to borrow his seeds, but he asked you to borrow them. They all said you..."

Lin Bai was stunned for a moment. Wasn't the Ax Gang's confidentiality work too bad? What they just talked about in the morning, before noon, their enemy Qinglong Gang knew about it! Don’t such small gangs have any sense of confidentiality?

Moreover, the rumor is too outrageous, right? Rumors stop at the wise, but where is the wise?

How to explain this? Say you can't do it? Or just admit it? Lin Bai has never tried it...

"Second Master, don't believe the rumors. Qi Wangzu and I are cousins, that's why you came to borrow seeds from me." Lin Bai reluctantly explained.

"Brother, don't hide it!" Niu Er stepped forward and put his arm around Lin Bai's shoulder, asking with a smile: "Do you have any secret recipe at home? Teach me brother, money is easy to talk about, and I will give you free monthly payment from now on!" "

"Really not...Second Master, you know me. If I had this secret recipe, why would my family have been knitting straw sandals to make a living for several generations?" Lin Bai had a headache and felt that his reputation had been damaged.

"Does that mean he is gifted?" Niu Er was even more surprised. He hugged Lin Bai's shoulders tightly and whispered in a low voice, "There are many ladies in Nancheng. If you are really capable, brother, let me introduce you to one." Lu Zi, when the time comes, we two brothers will split it into 30-70, and we’ll have a good time!”

Are the ladies from Nancheng so playful? Besides, you've already become a duck, and you still enjoy the food and drink? Are you taking supplements?

"Second Master, this matter is not easy to handle." Lin Bai immediately provoked, "The place where I live is the territory of the Ax Gang. It's okay for me to sell straw sandals here, but if I hang out with you, will I dare to go home? "

"Don't worry, the Ax Gang won't be able to bounce around for a few more days." Niu Er chuckled.

Are you planning to attack the Ax Gang? Lin Bai asked again, but Niu Er said no more and could only carry the burden home.

When he arrived home, everyone he knew in the streets looked at Lin Bai strangely.

The men smiled meaningfully, and some young girls turned away blushing at one glance.

Lin Bai deeply understood that his reputation had been ruined. Maybe some weird nickname will be assigned to me in the future...

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Mu Zhen standing in front of her bun shop waving to him.

"Perhaps the only good thing about this reputation is that it is easy to please the mother-in-law...especially those who have experienced the affairs of men and women, such as widows...you want me to practice flying knives hard, and finally end up serving people with sex?"

Lin Bai murmured, walked forward and asked, "Sister Zhen, is something wrong?"

"The next episode is so early today, do you still have to cook something to eat when you go home? You said you are not young anymore, and you should find a marriage as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will still be in a cold place when you return home."

Mu Zhen's face was filled with a smile, and she looked at Lin Bai more eagerly. "The buns are not sold out this morning, so you can take them to eat." As she spoke, she handed out the oil paper bun, but her eyes actually moved down.

Isn’t this too obvious a hint?

"Thank you, Sister Zhen." Lin Bai took the oil paper bag and glanced at the part under Mu Zhen's neck. He felt even more angry and thought that he might as well live with Sister Zhen... What happened to the widow? You know how cold it is and how hot it is, right?

Putting aside his evil thoughts, Lin Bai calmed down again. Now was not the time to sleep with a woman. He had to strengthen himself first, and only then could he think of anything else.

When I got home, I closed the door bolt and flicked the black cicada to death on the tree. Lin Bai made up his mind not to go out for the past few days, but to practice hard at home.

If Xue Ba and Dong Chao came to ask, there would be a reason, so he would be too embarrassed to go out...

Five days later, Lin Bai went out for a walk and learned that the "murderer" who killed Qi Wangzu and his wife had been captured by the Ax Gang.

And that "murderer" is a thug from the Qinglong Gang!

There is no doubt that the wrong person was arrested. Lin Bai, who was at large, guessed that the Ax Gang wanted to compete for the Qinglong Gang's territory, so he used this as an excuse to kill the Qinglong Gang.

As soon as this incident came out, the Ax Gang and the Qinglong Gang were at loggerheads.

Then it’s time for dog to bite dog, and a mouth full of fur.

Lin Bai was so happy that he felt relatively safer and could practice hard without worrying about external disturbances.

Closing his eyes and emptying his mind, Lin Bai appeared in the stone disk space.

Ten days later, Lin Bai opened his eyes with a confused expression.

From the time he first learned the flying knife skills to now, Lin Bai has been practicing hard in the stone disk space for more than six years.

Needless to say, his arm and wrist strength, his leg and foot skills are far better than ordinary people, and he can easily climb over the wall and transfer houses.

Especially his hearing and eyesight, which can see the slightest details. Once the flying knife is out, it can easily hit the target from a hundred steps away.

But that's all. Lin Bai clearly felt that although he was not slacking off, his progress was getting smaller and smaller.

The flying knife skills can obviously be improved, but he has encountered a bottleneck.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Bai came to the conclusion: although he practiced hard day and night and his limbs were strong, he only practiced his tendons and bones, and he was about to reach the upper limit.

For now, he needs to learn internal skills to reach a higher level.

And the sword manual also said that if the inner strength and lightness skills are used as a supplement, the power of the flying knife will be doubled.

But where can I find the method of inner strength?

Lin Bai was born in a low family and didn't know much about the martial arts sects in this world. Although he had learned the flying knife skills, he had not entered the "jianghu martial arts world" and was really a bit in the dark...
