Qin Fan suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart and walked skillfully through the streets.
After walking for half an hour, I turned into an alley.
The surrounding houses are much lower.
Qin Fan's footsteps couldn't help but become much brisker.
This is the western suburbs of the county, Huaishu Street, one of the most remote locations in Feiling County.
He stopped in a dilapidated courtyard, pushed open the door and entered.
"Brother! Sister-in-law!"
Qin Fan shouted excitedly in the yard.
"I'm going to give you my monthly payment today——"
But the moment he stepped into the small courtyard, the smile on his face instantly froze, and he could no longer speak.
There were figures three or four standing in the dim main room.
The leader was sitting on a chair, holding a dagger in his hand and looking at Qin Fan with the corner of his mouth raised.
The moment he saw this person, Qin Fan's heart skipped a beat.
This man was nicknamed Pi Liu.
A well-known gangster in the neighborhood.
He is a member of an underground force called the Black Tiger Gang in Feiling County!
At this time, Qin Fan also vaguely heard the cries of women and girls coming from the side room!
Naturally, he heard the voices of his sister-in-law and his niece, who was only four or five years old.
He secretly thought that something was wrong, and he had a lot of anger but didn't dare to express it at all.
The world is not stable right now.
The Black Tiger Gang can be called the overlords of the western suburbs, but they are not something he can afford to offend.
Pi Liu glanced at Qin Fan with a smile.
"Xiao Qin is really promising. I heard that you went to work as an accountant for Datong Trading Company?"
A bitter smile appeared on Qin Fan's face, "Sixth brother is joking, I'm just helping in the accounting room, I'm not a gentleman..."
His eyes wandered and his ears perked up, but he didn't seem to hear his elder brother's movements.
He took a deep breath and glanced at the several big men in front of him.
He estimated that his small body was no match for him.
The excitement in my heart also completely calmed down.
A smile appeared on his face, "Brother Six, what's going on..."
Pi Liu sneered, "I won't talk nonsense to you. Your boss bet against me at Mr. Bai Casino and lost twenty taels of silver. Now he has run away, so I can only find you at home!"
Hearing the words twenty taels of silver, Qin Fan's heart skipped a beat again.
Pi Liu waved his hand.
A piece of paper floated in front of Qin Fan.
But it's an IOU.
"Xiao Qin, you are capable now. It would be best if your family could come up with twenty taels of silver. If you can't... don't blame me for being rude!"
Qin Fan's veins bulged, but he felt helpless in his heart.
In my memory, the parents of the original owner passed away many years ago.
His eldest brother works hard and only earns a little more than one tael of silver every month to support his family.
Qin Fan was still young before he traveled through time. Because he was thin, he could not engage in any physical activities and could not make a lot of money.
After time travel, Qin Fan finally found a "high-paying" job with his own wisdom and ability, earning three or two months of money. Seeing his life improving, he encountered this kind of thing.
Qin Fan took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and handed over the usual large amount of money plus a couple of pieces of silver in the bag on his waist.
Anyway, I tried to ask Pi Liu for some grace time.
Pi Liu snorted coldly and accepted Qin Fan's money, "Second brother Qin, you are promising now. Brother Six, I believe you can afford to pay back these twenty taels of silver...just think of these as my interest!"
The situation is stronger than the person, Qin Fan responded immediately!
In fact, if Qin Fan hadn't entered Datong Trading Company now and had a small ability to make money, I'm afraid Pi Liu wouldn't have just let it go!
"I'll come back today next month, don't forget to prepare some money——"
Pi Liu led his two younger brothers away, leaving Qin Fan with teeth itching with hatred.
When he entered the room, he saw his sister-in-law lying on the ground, holding her daughter and crying.
The little niece was thin and thin, with tears on her face, but she held her mother with open arms and said, "Mother, don't cry!"
Qin Fan felt melancholy in his heart.
I can only be thankful that my niece is still young and my sister-in-law is no longer pretty.
He comforted his sister-in-law and niece.
I also cursed a few words in my heart at that big brother who was full of bad habits.
only.
His eldest brother is indeed a bit playful, but I have never heard of him gambling so much.
Qin Fan knew that there must be some inducement from Pi Liuhe and the gambling house...
The owner of the gambling house, Mr. Bai, also has a close relationship with the Black Tiger Gang.
Chen Fan felt helpless.
After a simple dinner, I felt depressed, looked at the stars in the sky, and remembered the scene I saw on the road today, and became more and more eager to practice martial arts!
…
Early the next morning, he first went to Datong Commercial Bank to ask for a half-day leave from the manager.
Because Chen Fan was quick-witted and efficient, although he didn't work long hours, he was very popular with the supervisor, so he agreed in just one sentence.
Then Chen Fan inquired and came to the east area of the county, outside the gate of Baiyu Gym.
After asking around all the way, he finally found out that although the Baiyun Gym was called a gym, it was actually a martial arts gym, even the largest martial arts gym in Feiling County!
I heard that with a strong background and strong strength, they often train warriors.
This Baiyun Gym is very impressive. It is located in a relatively prosperous area of the county and covers a vast area.
Most of the people coming and going were young masters and young ladies wearing rich silk clothes, and a very few were civilians wearing linen clothes.
He took a deep breath and went straight into it.
But after a while he reluctantly backed out.
He has already asked clearly about the general situation.
This Baiyun Gym indeed exists like a martial arts gym.
He finally understood why most of the people who came in and out were people in colorful clothes, because there was a high tuition fee to join the Baiyun Gym.
The registration fee is fifty taels of silver!
"Even if I don't eat or drink, I still have to save for more than ten months..."
Qin Fan shook his head.
His eldest brother abandoned his wife and son and ran away because he owed twenty taels of silver. If Chen Fan could have paid it off, he wouldn't have developed to where he is now.
He counted all his family's savings yesterday, and there was not enough money!
But when he looked at the boys who occasionally wore ordinary clothes in the gym, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
I'm afraid it's not easy for these people to come up with fifty taels of silver. They may have drained their wealth and made a huge gamble...
"The Baiyun Gym can produce a person as powerful as Li Linliu, so it dares to charge fifty taels for tuition. Other martial arts gyms should be cheaper, right?"
Qin Fan comforted himself in his heart, and then asked about the next martial arts gym.
Half an hour later, Qin Fan walked out of the boxing gym called "Flying Tiger Gate" and shook his head in disappointment again.
Feihumen doesn't sound famous, but it still costs thirty taels of silver for tuition!
None of it was something he could afford.
And even if he had thirty taels of silver at this time, he doubted whether he had the courage to gamble.
He sighed and was about to leave, but was patted behind him.
Turning his head, a sloppy man was smiling at him.
This man was unshaven, unkempt, also wearing linen clothes, and had a strong and strong build.
"Want to learn martial arts? Don't have enough registration fee?"
Qin Fan smiled bitterly and nodded.
With his expression like this at the entrance of the martial arts school, it is not difficult to guess the reason.
But I saw the man turning his head to look around furtively, and then whispered: "Come with me, I will show you something good..."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
When Qin Fan heard this, his heart moved and he followed him.
After all, this is a county town, and Chen Fan doesn't believe what this person dares to do to him.
The man didn't stop until he reached the deserted alley.
"I have a friend who is an entry-level disciple of Feihu Clan. He is a true warrior. Although I can't help you reduce Feihu Clan's tuition fees, but..."
Qin Fan looked stern.
Then I saw the sloppy man take out a thin book from his arms.
Throw it over.
Qin Fan quickly picked it up carefully, only to see three characters "Tiger Fist" written vertically on the book.
""Tiger Fist" is one of Feihumen's famous basic martial arts..."
"Ordinary people can't learn this skill without entering a martial arts gym, but now, if you want to learn it..."
The sloppy man chuckled and held out three fingers, "I only want three taels of silver from you!"
Qin Fan was startled and glanced at this sloppy man, with many doubts rising in his heart.
In the complex society of his previous life, he had often heard of all kinds of scams and tricks.
This man's methods are very much like a liar!
Three taels of silver is Chen Fan's monthly salary. If used for expenses, it would be enough for Chen Fan to eat meat every day.
Qin Fan frowned, but immediately opened the thin booklet and started reading.
This secret book is so thin that Qin Fan flipped through the entire book over a cup of tea.
And it was just after he finished reading a book of Tiger Fist that a series of strange characters suddenly appeared in his sight.
[Tiger Fist (Unlocked)]
[Enable idle training function after unlocking]
This string of characters was gray and translucent, changing as his line of sight moved, without affecting his vision at all.
And it seems that only he can see this thing.
"Is this my golden finger?"
Qin Fan longed to become a warrior, but he didn't have the confidence in his heart.
However, when he saw the characters suddenly appearing in front of him, his heart began to beat crazily again!
I couldn't help but think in my mind: "Could it be that if I learn Tiger Fist, I can unlock the so-called automatic training function on idle?"
The sloppy man watched Qin Fan flip through Tiger Fist and just smiled without stopping.
"Brother, can you tell if the secret book is real?"
His voice was frivolous but full of confidence.
Obviously he has a certain degree of confidence in this secret book.
Qin Fan narrowed his eyes and pondered for a long time, "Can this secret book be made cheaper?"
