"Get down here, go down here!"

"No, I should go there. Listen to me, that's right!"

"You both were wrong. You should listen to me, just go here!"

"What are you talking about? Do you play chess or I play?! Shut up, do you understand what it means to watch chess without saying anything? If you lose this game, it will depend on you!"

...

Lin Bei walked forward with his hands behind his back, watching them play chess with curiosity, but actually pricked up his ears and listened to their conversation.

"Yeah, Xiaobei is free today. Do you want to have a game with the old man later?"

Two old men recognized Lin Bei and greeted him with a smile.

"Well, I don't know what to play chess? I just join in the fun. I don't dare to play chess with you."

Lin Bei declined very modestly.

First of all, he really doesn't know much about Go, so he knows the rules. He has played several games with others, and at most he is at the novice level.

Secondly, he is here to open the news, not to play chess.

A game of Go lasts too long. Sometimes he still has to practice for the whole day, and he can't afford it.

"Well, what's the matter? I don't do much, old man. I just think it's time to pass the time anyway."

The old man grinned and showed two big yellow teeth.

Lin Bei shook his head: "It's still not possible, so as not to let you cool down your old joy later."

When the old man saw that he refused again, he stopped inviting him and smashed him, making him feel a little bit sensible.

"Now, it is rare for young people like me who can get along with us old men!"

Indeed, the area under this big banyan tree is full of elderly people and a group of little kids playing and playing.

Young people are very busy, hunting up the mountain and ginseng.

Only a group of elderly people and women with less nimble legs and feet, as well as children in need of care.

This is very similar to the previous life. The most common people I see in the square are always the old men and the aunts and children.

However, the old men in front of them are different from those in their previous lives. Many of them are also martial artists in Qi and Blood Realm.

But as I am old, my qi and blood have entered a period of decline, and there is no hope of moving forward.

In other words, I've retired!

Therefore, several nearby alleys and alleys centered on this big banyan tree, forming a leisure area similar to the "park square" in the previous life.

However, there are no flower beds trimmed into various shapes here, and there are no railing equipment for exercise.

There are only a group of old men who love playing chess and a group of children who chase and play.

There were also several small stalls next to it, selling tea and pastries, and there were a few old men chatting.

However, the most popular thing among children is the scarecrow stall filled with candied haws.

"Children, do you want one? It's a penny, it's very cheap."

"What? No money? You want to go to your grandpa, and your grandpa is playing chess there. As long as you keep annoyed him, he will definitely pay."

"Hey, hey, that little fat man over there, can't lick it. If you don't buy it, go away!"

Lin Bei smiled and shook his head, walked to the tea stall, and ordered a bowl of tea and a dish of fennel beans.

Thinking back to the first time when he first went out when he first traveled through time, he felt that the whole alley was gloomy and unpopular.

It was not until not long ago that I discovered this "elderly leisure area" that I understood the reason.

Young and middle-aged people have gone up the mountain, old people and children have gone here to play chess and play, and women have gone to the river to wash clothes. It would be strange if there are too many people in the residential area!

The tea tastes astringent and slightly bitter, but it is very refreshing. Lin Bei held the tea and threw an anise bean into his mouth. While chewing, he listened to the bragging of several old men on the only tables and chairs in the tea shop.

"Have you heard that, the old Li family has been thieves!"

"Oh, really? What's missing?"

"Yeah, it's not just a matter of money, his eldest son's life is lost!"

"I have heard of this. It is said that when the thief entered his room, he accidentally woke his sleeping eldest son. The thief was also a cruel character. Seeing that the situation was not good, he rushed up and covered his mouth..."

The old man said as he wiped his neck, tsk twice and continued.

"At that time, many people were awakened, and I even went to join in the fun. Oh, the whole room was covered in blood, and it was a terrible sight!"

"Oh, it's so pitiful. Old Man Li has been in trouble for eight lifetimes, and he has been involved in such a thing."

"you do not say……"

...

"A thief, this world is indeed chaotic. It is often burglary and killing people to silence people. It seems that I have to be vigilant!"

Lin Bei thought in his heart, continued to prick up his ears and listen, silently sifting out what might be useful to him.

He knows too little about this world and has not yet had the ability to go out alone.

In this case, the experiences that popped up from these old men's mouths are of great help to understand the background of this world.

Listening with his ears, Lin Bei was like a sponge, fully absorbing a sea of ​​information.

Sudden.

"Hmm? Why don't you talk?"

Lin Bei showed doubts on his face, put down the tea bowl and looked at the opposite table.

I saw several old men looking in the same direction in silence, with a hint of fear in their eyes.

Following the eyes of several people, Lin Bei saw two familiar figures, one fat and one thin.

"It's them, no wonder!"

The visitor was none other than the two gangsters who were responsible for collecting protection fees by the Feiying Gang.

Lin Bei had already found out about the names of the two, the fat man was Li Hui and the thin man was Zhu Chunsheng.

Just looking at the name, it can be said that it is ordinary, but both of them are cruel and ruthless guys.

The most shameless thing is that the two and their gang are both warriors above the fourth level of Qi and Blood Realm and live in the inner city, but these guys bully the weak and are afraid of the strong, so they go to the outer city to blackmail.

Two figures, one fat and one thin, soon came to the pastry shop next to the tea shop and sat down with a big golden knife.

"It's so unlucky. Today I'm so lucky. I lost all the money for my labor and capital this month. I'm so happy!"

The fat man Li Hui was like a mass of fat meat, pressing on the stool, making a creaking sound, almost crushing the stool.

He kept cursing and calling the boss to order food.

Not long after, bowls of noodles with noodle soup covered with slices of meat and a few baskets of steamed buns were served.

The two of them ate noodles in big mouthfuls while cursing at the streets.

"It was designated that Zhao Laoliu of the Black Snake Gang was cheating, and he was so happy that this kid doesn't look like a good person!"

"That's right, Zhao Laoliu has done so many bad things in secret. Madebazi actually bullied us."

As he cursed, suddenly, the thin man was overjoyed and slapped the table and said loudly.

"Hmph, this kid doesn't talk about morality. Brother, why don't we teach him a lesson now and give him some color!"

Hearing this, the fat man seemed to choke for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and shook his head.

"This kid has the support of the Black Snake Gang, and the boss and the others have advised us not to cause trouble."

"Tomorrow, wait for tomorrow, we will play a few more games with him. I will expose his tricks with my own hands and make him look disgraceful!"

"Brother wise!"

The thin man Zhu Chunsheng quickly flattered.

The two of them ate a lot, and soon left several empty bowls and empty steamers.

After burping, Li Hui called the boss while picking his teeth with a toothpick. He burped at him again, and his stinky tone hit him. The boss was trembling and did not dare to hide at all, so he had to endure it.

"Well, you don't seem to have paid the protection fee this month, right?"

Li Hui said carelessly.

"Ah? I, I paid it. I just paid three taels of silver two days ago. Did you forget it, Mr. Li?"

The boss exclaimed in surprise, with a grievance on his face, but he did not dare to speak loudly.
