The half-grown boy covered his red left face with fear in his eyes.
"I'm dealing with you today because you don't obey the rules."
He Zai pointed at the noses of the peers in front of him and said, "Since you have joined the Tongkou Gang, you must abide by the gang's rules."
"Clam, in the past when you were bullied and had nothing to eat, the gang would protect you, but now you refuse to do anything even if they ask you to do it? Do you still want to run away in the middle?"
He Zai lifted up the thin hemp rope around his neck, and there was a copper button hanging on the rope.
"This thing is not for fun."
"Now I'm here to tell you the rules. The next time you see him is the boss with the bronze hand. I hope you have thought about which hand or leg you are going to lose."
The boy opposite turned pale with fright: "I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore."
"Quit? I have the guts."
Hezi pretended not to hear clearly.
He grinned, showing a missing front tooth: "I'll take you to the boss. Are you ready for your ransom?"
"I'll do it, I'll do it! I'll bring the goods there, I'll bring the goods!"
Lazi trembled and said, "I won't think about running away anymore. I will definitely bring the gang's things with me."
"now it's right."
He Zai put his arm around the other person's shoulders: "Look, it's actually not difficult to ask you to bring the things you brought. It's just a little seed and some paper. It's just put in your underwear and clothes. It'll be fine."
"Those soldiers don't know how to investigate. Even if they are investigated, you just say you don't know what it is. Anyway, you really don't know, right?"
"The worst case scenario is that you will be jailed for a few days, and you will be released in a month at most. Your brothers will be waiting for you outside."
The boy nodded numbly.
"As long as you abide by the rules, we will still be good brothers. The gang will not let you stay here for the rest of your life. The last one left at the age of sixteen, so you still have two or three years to leave. The gang protects everyone.
Son, everyone works for the gang until they reach adulthood and leave the gang. It’s fair, right?”
Hezai smiled and patted him on the back: "Go back and wash your face and get ready. I'll go bring the goods tomorrow."
Watching Hazi leave in despair, Azheng next to him said, "Will he go there honestly? Won't he run away in the middle?"
"Let him."
He Zai shrugged, grabbed a piece of gum from his pocket, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed: "It's his own choice. If he succeeds in running away, then I wish him to run farther. If he is discovered, his hand will be amputated."
foot."
"Azheng, you and Lazi both joined the gang two months ago, so you are much smarter than him."
He Zai's cheeks twitched: "How about the goods you brought last time?"
"It went pretty well."
Ah Zheng is a young man with a quiet face, who looks about twelve or thirteen years old. Compared with He Zai, who has a wheat complexion and wears an adult leather vest, he looks more like a young man on the run.
This is indeed the case.
When He Zai saw Azheng for the first time, he was spearing a fish with a branch. The water there was very shallow, there was no grass and no fish, so he looked like a novice at first sight.
So He Zai first invited him to eat some fried melon seeds, and then asked him if he was out playing or if he got separated from others.
After asking, I found out that Ah Zheng was from the Anvil Federation of the Resurrection Kingdom, and his ancestors were immigrants from Yancheng. His father was bewitched by the devil, and not only gave all the family property to the devil, but also bled Ah Zheng.
Used as a sacrifice to the devil.
Ah Zheng beat his father until his head was covered with blood, and then escaped. He did not dare to go back, so he could only wander in the Kingdom of Secrets.
He Zai discovered that Azheng was born with supernatural powers and could easily lift large rocks and uproot small trees with his bare hands. He invited him to join the Tongkou Gang.
The Tongkou Gang is a very small gang in the Kingdom of Secrets, and they only do trivial things that are not worthy of publicity.
But no matter how small a gang is, it is like a mountain in front of the children.
The members of the Tongkou Gang are all half-grown children, because children are required to do things in the gang.
He Zai chewed gum and put his hands in his large pockets: "How about it? Carrying goods is easier than you think, right?"
"Um."
Azheng looked to the other side, where there was a road not far away, which could lead to various city-states in the Kingdom of Secrets.
"Just carry it across the border. It's not difficult."
He Zai liked this about Ah Zheng. He would do whatever he was asked to do without looking forward or backward or asking questions.
"The goods brought by the gang are not serious contraband. They are usually various rose seeds from the Yao people and some fake bonds."
He Zai said: "Rose seeds are very common in the market. Whether they are mild green roses, white roses, sand roses or cloud roses, they are all available here. The goods I brought were mixed with killer black roses. These are controlled products and are normal.
It’s impossible to get through.”
"These seeds cannot be produced repeatedly. If you want to get new Yao roses, you have to buy seeds. The gang just transports a cargo and makes a smuggling profit. Even if the child who brought the cargo is caught, the jail time will not be long."
He spit out the gum and stuck it to a piece of fallen bark.
"Then there are fake bonds. This is a superb craftsmanship. The paper used to make city bonds is very difficult to get. It is a mixture of raw edge paper and tissue paper, and it has a very special feel."
He leaned against a tree and said: "Then there is the printing on the tissue paper. The Yao people's printing now uses specific patterns and colors, and there are also serial numbers representing the issues issued in different cities. It is difficult to get very close.
, blending printing and dyeing pigments is also a difficult problem.”
"I heard that Yaocheng has been gradually using crystal structure printing and dyeing, using sand elements to create coating patterns, and the element crystal structure can be identified at a glance. If it is really fully implemented, it will be even more difficult to imitate."
Ah Zheng frowned slightly: "Why do you tell me these secrets?"
"Because you look so eye-catching, the soldiers at the border will easily remember you after a trip to bring goods, so the next time you bring goods will be at least a year later. When it comes to bringing goods, the more ordinary you look, the better, Clam
It’s the most suitable.”
The Tongkou Gang needs children in the gang to carry goods. Usually street children are not easily suspected, and they do not carry much goods, so they are not easy to be noticed and raided.
The gang members went there on the pretext of studying and looking for work, met people in the Resurrection Kingdom, and then brought things over there.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He Zai said: "You can join me in recruiting people in the rear, teach new people, and then quit the gang and get severance pay."
"Do you have to quit the gang?"
"Is it possible that you still want to continue working in the Tongkou Gang?" Hezi sneered.
Azheng asked: "Is there no way to become the leader? Or to be promoted further or something?"
"Hey, you want to be the boss."
He Zai took out a tomato from his pocket and took a big bite.
"The Tongkou Gang is like this. The boss of the Tongshou originally followed a boss of the Red and White Society. Later, he went out to work alone and established the Tongkou Gang. Then, in fact, he still has a certain relationship with the Red and White Society, but in fact, our relationship is more
The nearest one is [Black Ring Trading Company].”
A surprised expression appeared on Ah Zheng's face: "Black Ring Trading Company is in the Resurrection Kingdom. It turns out that all the goods I get are from them..."
"Who knows? Don't think that the Black Ring Trading Company is just an ordinary chamber of commerce. It is one of the organizations that was spun off from the [Black Temple]."
Talking about the gang power in the Mystical Kingdom, Hezi spoke of the secrets: "When the Holy Temple was sanctioned after problems were discovered by the Investigation Bureau, there was no other way but to split the organization into several parts. The original [Black Temple] focused on sacrifices.
, in terms of occult arts, spells and folk customs, groups such as the [Black Ring Trading Company] were separated and specialized in secular affairs."
"However, we have no affiliation with these big gangs. We are more like errand runners. It is safe this way. We can be a small person to avoid getting into big trouble."
Ah Zheng remained silent.
Hezi ate the tomatoes one bite at a time and licked the juice on his fingers: "Let's go, I have to meet a big brother."
Azheng's eyes lit up: "Are you a big brother from another gang? Can you recommend me?"
"no……"
A strange expression appeared on He Zai's face: "Are you really so obsessed with gangsters? The elder brother I met this time is a serious man. He has been around these days and he used to take good care of me. It's not what you think.
"
…
In the tent group by the river, Hezi found his old friend.
"Hezai, I haven't seen you for a few years. How are you doing?"
Boyi came over steaming.
He has short hair, a towel wrapped around his neck, and his uncovered upper body shows well-proportioned and flexible muscle lines. He looks like a tiger returning from hunting. His young male body contains explosive power that cannot be unleashed.
"Brother Yi, you are stronger than before."
Hezi chuckled and handed the other person a tomato.
Boyi took it and took a big bite.
He Zai remembered that the first time he met Boyi, he was being kicked and punched by gangsters from the Tongkou Gang. He just squatted on the ground with his head in his hands and was beaten skillfully.
For ordinary people without any special abilities, it is basically difficult to resist a group of gangsters.
The reason is that ordinary people generally do not dare to attack with lethal weapons such as knives and hammers, but the gangsters are experienced in fighting and win as soon as they gain momentum. By the time they are beaten badly and they want to resist desperately, it is already too late.
, by this time he has usually been knocked to the ground, unable to fight back.
That scene at that time strengthened the determination of the Hezi gang: If you can't beat them, join them!
He didn't want to be beaten like Boyi, but he felt that the other person was pitiful. So after everyone left, Hezi went over to help him up.
"It's intentional. I understood [the ascetic] from [theology] and learned and practiced through pain."
Boyi shook the dust off his body and said nonchalantly: "I advised them to disband the gang, go to the temple and library to study the "Gospel of Gods", and change their ways, otherwise they will all go to jail. Then they went crazy...
"
Only then did He Zai realize that this Brother Yi was not a soft persimmon.
He is actively looking for trouble.
Soon Boyi was not satisfied with being beaten by a group. The ascetic monk's endurance would continue to improve. Ordinary pain was no longer enough to make him make any progress. So he left the area and embarked on another road.
He participated in the "Kuafu Chasing the Sun" activity, which is an unlimited daily running practice organized by Dahuali.
Hezi also knows a little about running day by day.
This activity is closer to a fanatical sacrificial ritual, chasing the sun on the ground and recording the different directions of one's own shadow, which sounds weird and absurd.
There are quite a few participants.
There are the Bone Ancestors of the Resurrection Kingdom, people from the Street Light Society, and some locals from the Secret Kingdom.
As time went on, a large number of runners fainted and got injured, and some even died.
Gradually, the news that Dahuali is actually the devil Kuafu spread like wildfire.
It is said that the purpose of this event is to burn the life of every runner and transform it into Kuafu's power through the ceremony.
The reason why Boyi joined was simple: he needed more intense pain to hone his practice.
He Zai thought that he would die in this strange run.
Because so far, the runners have either been injured and given up, or they can't hold on for various reasons, and fewer and fewer people are following the devil Kuafu.
However, Boyi ran away for five years.
"You may not believe it."
Boyi swallowed the tomato in big gulps, with a hearty smile on his face: "This running practice we carry out can make every participant strong and energetic."
Hezi laughed: "Brother Yi, if that were true, so many people wouldn't have died before."
"A matter of method."
Boyi said seriously: "Long-term running against the sun is also very dangerous for extraordinary people."
"The light element will directly stimulate the whole body and easily burn the body, while the water element will escape in large quantities in a short period of time, making the runner extremely thirsty. Therefore, it is necessary to have enough water, and it is best to run in the morning and evening, at noon
Take rest and relax your body appropriately.”
"Warming up before running can prevent soreness, cramps, abdominal pain and other injuries. You should also stretch your body after running to keep your body flexible and reduce fatigue and wear and tear."
"Another one is not to blindly pursue speed, but to keep breathing and pay attention to the balance of elements in your body at all times."
"You must also prepare appropriate clothes and shoes to reduce body exposure and pain, and keep warm in winter."
"These are the "Running Instructions" we have learned from our experience during running in the past few years. If you can do these things well, you won't get injured like before."
"The blessing and inspiration of God Yao have allowed me to find an endless path of spiritual practice!"
Hezi murmured in his heart after hearing this.
Something is wrong.
Why does Brother Yi feel like he has changed from that ascetic maniac to a crazy runner? Could it be that he was brainwashed and transformed by the demon Kuafu?
"Then, let me show you what I have achieved in the past few years. Try touching my upper body with your hands, and I will stay put."
Boyi stood quietly.
However, Hezi felt that he had become completely different, as if there was an indescribable power lingering around him.
He raised his hand and stretched out towards Boyi, but no matter how Hezai waved his arms, he could not touch the other person's body. Boyi seemed to be able to predict his own movements in advance, and moved his upper body calmly and simply, making Hezai always seem to be facing him.
It's like air, and I can't catch it.
What kind of spell is this??
Hezi was shocked.
The indescribable feeling in Boyi's body suddenly disappeared.
He raised his hand, spread his fingers, and slowly closed them: "The various forces exerted by the body are different forms of movement."
"Mastering and adapting to the laws of exercise, and entering the [flow] state in a short period of time, the people around me will all appear in slow motion, and I can pass them at will. This is the characteristic of the [athlete] profession.
