The Wheel-Turning Master

It was almost noon, and the sun was at its peak.

Touching his stomach, he felt extremely hungry. Lin Bai was too lazy to light a fire and cook. He really missed Mu Zhen's big white buns.

He picked up his hat to block the sun and went out directly.

Turning out of the alley, he came to the bun shop. He saw Mu Zhen wearing an apron, a flowered cloth wrapped around her head, and her sleeves turned outward, kneading dough.

I haven't seen Mu Zhen for half a month, and her chest seems to be fuller.

It's a pity that I can't hold it in my hands, so I don't know the truth.

"Sister Zhen." Lin Bai walked up and spoke enthusiastically.

"Why are you here?" Mu Zhen raised her head and saw that it was Lin Bai. She smiled, wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, and asked, "Why haven't you been out these days? I knocked on the door and you didn't answer?"

"My... people on the street say that I... say I can turn the cartwheel, so I'm embarrassed to go out." Lin Bai smiled awkwardly and gave the excuse he had prepared long ago.

"You, it's not a bad thing, you're so shameless!" Mu Zhen looked outside and saw that no one was passing by, so she asked in a low voice: "Xiao Linzi, can you really turn the wheel?"

Are all widows so unrestrained? Lin Bai didn't know how to respond.

"Alas, whoever wants to marry you in the future will be blessed." Mu Zhen sighed faintly, "Unlike me, a widow, no one wants me even if I pay for it." After saying that, she glanced at Lin Bai with resentment.

"Sister Zhen, don't worry, you will definitely find a good man in the future." Lin Bai could only comfort him blindly.

"Is there anyone better than you?" Mu Zhen asked.

That depends on what aspect, turning the wheel is definitely not as good as me...

Lin Bai couldn't stand such bold and straightforward words, so he quickly changed the subject and said: "Sister Zhen, has anything happened here recently?"

In fact, Lin Bai wanted to know whether the Axe Gang and the Qinglong Gang had a fight.

"What could possibly happen? The unpromising son of the Xue family killed someone; the old Liu family found a rich old relative and brought home a lot of things; and the old man of the Jia family, his affair was known to everyone..." Mu Zhen was really well-informed.

"Then the Axe Gang and the Green Dragon Gang didn't quarrel?" Lin Bai stopped pretending.

"I didn't hear anything happened." Mu Zhen shook his head.

This was a bit strange. Lin Bai remembered what Niu Er meant by that day, as if he wanted to deal with the Axe Gang. And the Axe Gang arrested the people of the Green Dragon Gang for Qi Wangzu's case...

It's hard for two small gangs entrenched in the poor North City not to fight! Can they still talk about peace?

"Sister Zhen, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Lin Bai put on the sunshade hat again.

After saying that, without waiting for Mu Zhen to speak, Lin Bai left quickly.

Seeing that Lin Bai seemed to be running for his life, Mu Zhen stamped her feet in anger and said angrily: "I have said it so clearly, this brat can't not understand! Every time he sees me, he looks at me twice more. It's obvious that he just wants to sleep with me and doesn't want to care about me!"

Lin Bai ran not slowly, but he had excellent hearing and still heard Mu Zhen's nagging.

It's just that he wanted to eat her buns, but in the end he got nothing.

In fact, Lin Bai also knew that if he agreed, he would definitely eat the buns casually, eat them during the day and at night, and eat too much.

Walking along the street, Lin Bai's goal was Nancheng.

The pattern of Huaxi County is poor in the north and rich in the south.

In front of the southern city gate is Huaxi River, and there is a wharf outside the city. There are a lot of goods. Most of the rich people in the city live in the eastern part of Nancheng.

So Nancheng is prosperous, with all kinds of shops and stores.

Of course, the forces are also intertwined, and it is difficult to gain a foothold in Nancheng without a foothold.

Arriving in the South City, Lin Bai didn't know anyone there, so he dared to spend money. He found a restaurant, ate three pounds of dumplings, and drank a bowl of rice wine.

After paying the bill, Lin Bai went into a teahouse. He spent two cents to buy a bowl of the worst herbal tea, and didn't say anything, just listened to other people's chats.

It was hot in the summer, and everyone had nothing to do, so they all gathered in the teahouse to chat.

After listening for more than half an hour, Lin Bai found that most people were talking about the drought in the north, and some were talking about the romantic secrets in Huaxi County.

"I heard that there is a mud-legged man in the North City who can lift a wheel and make it turn! He has so much capital that some people have gone to him to borrow money!" someone said.

"Wow! The wheel weighs at least ten pounds. If he can really lift it, he must be gifted!" someone answered.

Lin Bai wanted to listen to some interesting stories in the teahouse, but he didn't expect to be talked about himself...

He pressed his bamboo hat and walked away.

Next, it was time to get down to business. Lin Bai had inquired about it. There were three martial arts schools in the south city, which were very famous.

Now he had too few trump cards, only the flying knife skills. He should indeed learn something else. I dare not say that he had profound internal skills, but at least he could learn some boxing and knife skills.

However, after Lin Bai went to two martial arts schools in a row, he was quite disappointed.

As he practiced flying knives for a long time, Lin Bai had a good vision and was an expert in the doorway.

These two martial arts schools did not have any profound methods.

They did not teach internal skills or light body skills.

They taught only the shallow skills of strengthening the energy, mainly knife skills and boxing skills, and emphasized actual combat.

Of course, if he learned it, he could barely be a ten-man enemy, and there would be no problem guarding the house.

In fact, it was true. People who came out of the three martial arts schools were all going to guard the house of the rich.

But this was far from enough for Lin Bai, and it was completely worthless to learn.

I have already trained my body thousands of times in the stone space, and I can use a sword as soon as I pick it up, but I just don't have any rules.

Besides, the tuition is very expensive, ten taels for entry, and another ten taels for learning skills.

But if you think about it carefully, this is normal.

Internal strength is rare and cannot be bought with money. In other words, it is absolutely impossible to buy twelve hundred taels.

A complete set of internal energy methods and martial arts skills can be passed down from generation to generation, and can flourish for several generations, creating a prosperous family.

In fact, it is the foundation and foundation of a sect.

No one would sell this thing unless it was a last resort.

Therefore, the martial arts schools teach only superficial kung fu, focusing on swordsmanship and boxing techniques that are practical and easy to learn. It looks like the moves are powerful, but in fact, when you encounter a master, you will miss the mark.

There may be many masters in the world, but how many can there be in little Huaxi County? The people Lin Bai met from the Qinglong Gang and the Ax Gang, such as Dong Chao, Xue Ba, and Niu Er, were actually no better than the apprentices from these martial arts schools.

After visiting two martial arts schools, there is still one Tai Chi gym left. I heard that the owner of that gym is named Ma, and he practices Hunyuan Xingyi Tai Chi. It is a very amazing skill to overcome hardness with softness and become stronger when strong.

Lin Bai didn't quite believe it, but he still took a look. In the end, it was a waste of time.

After a day of blindness, Lin Bai went back to Beicheng after eating a crazy meal of mutton.

Instead of going home directly, he went to Baicao Hall first.

"Doctor Bai, I have already memorized "Tongyao Neijing". Can you borrow some other books to read?" Lin Bai said in a courteous tone.

"It's rare." Doctor Bai had a smile on his face and asked a few questions casually, and Lin Bai answered them one by one.

Doctor Bai saw that Lin Bai was really interested, and his smile became even brighter.

"If Nei Jing Tong is an outline, it's not enough to just memorize it, you also have to know the meaning." Zhong Xiuxiu spoke while grinding the medicine.

As she spoke, she glanced at Lin Bai, and then silently stretched out three fingers to indicate that she still owed three qian of soup and medicine.

Lin Bai ignored Zhong Xiuxiu, the debt collector. He only saluted Dr. Bai respectfully and asked, "Doctor Bai, please borrow a few more medical books so that I can go back and read the details."

"Easy to say, easy to say. It's always good if you are willing to study medicine. You might be able to save a few more people in the future." Doctor Bai took out two brochures and handed them to Lin Bai.

"Thank you, Doctor Bai." Lin Bai bowed again.

I came home with the book in my arms, and as soon as I closed the door bolt, there was a knock on the door.

Fu opened the door again, and there was a short and fat man standing outside with a whistle stick in his hand. It was Xue Ba from the Ax Gang.
