"This is?" Liu Mang was a little surprised when he saw the key.
The person in the warehouse said respectfully: "Liu Zhangqi, this is the key to a small courtyard in the inner city."
"As long as you stay in the gang for three years, the land deed will also be presented to you."
Liu Mang took the key and said with a smile, "Thank you."
"Don't dare to take it seriously."
Liu Mang twirled the key in his hand, then casually put it into his pocket.
When I first came to this world, it was extremely difficult to get an ultimatum to enter the city. Now I even have the key to the house in the inner city.
Depending on the status, many things that were originally considered difficult can be easily solved later.
It's a pity that Zhou Fan, a disciple of the Fire Crane Sect, was offended. He was right, but it was not convenient for me to move to the inner city for the time being.
Liu Mang left the chief helm and quickly returned to Baishui Hall.
I saw him, six feet five inches tall, wearing a dark yellow tiger-headed top, and his whole person was filled with uncontrollable arrogance and domineering.
As soon as Liu Mang stepped into the courtyard, shouts could be heard one after another in the courtyard.
"Hello Liu Zhangqi!"
"Hello, Mr. Liu!"
"Master Liu is the most handsome in the Golden Tiger Gang today!"
Liu Mang nodded to everyone, but kept reminding himself in his heart: "Floating clouds, they are all floating clouds, this is just a transit point, sooner or later I have to leave here to find Mr. Yin!"
Even so, the corners of his mouth still raised a slight arc.
After a while, Niu Cong also came over. Hearing the shouts of 'Master Niu', he also smiled.
He found Liu Mang and said, "Tieniu, the new Feishe Hall is short of manpower. I would like to ask you how many people you want."
Liu Mang smiled and said: "Everyone here used to hang out with you, Mr. Niu. Mr. Niu, you can pick whatever you want, don't worry about me."
Niu Cong was not polite to Liu Mang. He just walked briefly around the courtyard. There were already many people behind him, including his direct subordinates such as Lao Jiu and Sha Gen.
When he walked up to someone, even Liu Mang cast a concerned look.
It was Qi Quan who was the most capable fighter among the Baishuitang gang before, except for Liu Mang, and was the best in both sword and fist.
However, things didn't seem to go well for Niu Cong this time. He talked a lot with Qi Quan and even put his right hand on Qi Quan's shoulder, obviously trying to persuade him patiently.
However, Qi Quan's expression was firm, and in the end Niu Cong waved his hands and left bitterly, with a look of displeasure on his face that anyone with a discerning eye could see.
Liu Mang was a little stunned. Could this Qi Quan stay here just for himself?
Ban Yang and Cai Binwen are easy to understand, after all, they have always been on their side. Qi Quan has always been Niu Ye's confidant. If he goes to Xintangkou, the probability of being promoted to the flag master is definitely higher than if he stays in Baishui Hall.
Liu Mang found Qi Quan and wanted to ask him what he thought.
Qi Quan only had one sentence: "I have no interest in being the flag bearer at all. I just feel that following you, Brother Mang, my future life will be exciting."
Liu Mang couldn't help but be stunned.
He patted Qi Quan's shoulder, but thought in his heart that he would definitely leave the Golden Tiger Gang in the future, and he would have to feel sorry for Qi Quan.
After lunch, Liu Mang felt that there was nothing to do in the hall, so he ordered Qi Quan and Ban Yang to supervise everyone to practice while he went back to Liuhe Village.
Liuhe Village is much larger than Liujia Village, and the families in the village are also richer and more prosperous. Red brick houses and adobe houses are staggered, and a ginkgo tree is planted in front of almost every house. The walkways in the village are paved with coarse sand.
It's not just a dirt road.
Liu Mang was wearing a dark yellow tiger-head top. As soon as he walked into the village, everyone around him showed fear on their faces.
Almost no one dared to come up to say hello, most of them lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Liu Mang.
A little kid jumped up to Liu Mang. As soon as he called out "uncle", his mother hurriedly took him away. He apologized to Liu Mang repeatedly for fear of offending the gang leader.
Liu Mang suddenly felt extremely bored.
After all, this Liuhe Village is not the place where I grew up, unlike Liujia Village where everyone knows me. Even if I later join the Golden Tiger Gang, although the neighbors would not dare to make fun of me like before, they would not even dare to say hello.
Alas, if wealth does not return to its hometown, it is like walking in brocade at night.
Liu Mang decided that he had to go back to Liujiacun often to see his hometown, the yellow mud road in the village, and the neighbors he knew...
Back home, Liu's mother was cleaning the yard as usual.
Since the Golden Tiger Gang took over the outer city, there was no danger wherever she stayed, so Liu's mother no longer stayed at Baishui Tangkou.
"Mom, why don't you just hire a servant? You clean every day. Even if you are tired, I will be tired even if you do it."
"You think you have nowhere to spend your money, right?" Mother Liu was still not happy.
"My current monthly salary is fifty taels." Liu Mang said proudly.
"Then save more and then marry a rich lady." Mother Liu said with a smile.
"Why do you always want me to get married? Wait until I am over eighteen."
"People who are not as old as you have several babies. Look at how old you are and you still haven't found one. I just want to have a grandson as soon as possible." Mother Liu kept thinking quietly.
Liu Mang pretended not to hear anything and simply went straight into the inner room.
…
Liujiacun.
At noon, Wang Laizi lazily climbed out of bed and sat down at the old wooden table, yawning profusely.
"Why is this porridge cold? I don't even know how to heat it up!"
Wang Laizi cursed and drank a bowl of porridge, completely forgetting that Wang and Sun rushed to the Black Bear Forest before sunrise.
After finishing the porridge, the bowls and chopsticks were placed directly on the table.
It is impossible to wash the dishes, it is impossible to wash them in this life. Anyway, Wang Sun comes back to wash them at night, just like cooking, he will never do it in his life.
Wang Laizi walked around the house a few times before getting ready to go out and play. The leg that was broken by a knife had completely recovered a few days ago and he can now go out normally.
Although he still walks with a limp, after all, one of his legs was born disabled.
Wang Laizi touched the ingot of silver in his arms and couldn't help but smile. This was what Liu Mang had given him as compensation after he smashed the wall last time. The dead woman didn't know anything about it.
He walked out of the door, put his hands behind his back, raised his head proudly, and limped along the yellow dirt road in the village, looking left and right, like a city lord inspecting his territory.
"It's Mr. Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time." Aunt Wu was stunned when she saw Cripple Wang, and then she said hello with a smile.
Wang Laizi nodded solemnly without replying, like a proud peacock.
He usually doesn't reply, otherwise if someone asks something again, he won't know how to reply. It would be easier not to reply in the first place.
Wang Laizi continued to walk forward without noticing the mocking smile on Aunt Wu's lips.
"Good morning, Mr. Wang!"
Grandma Liu was cleaning in front of the house. She saw Wang Laizi and greeted her warmly.
Her meaningful eyes made Wang Laizi feel very uncomfortable.
"This damn old woman is so old that she still hasn't been buried!" Wang Laizi thought bitterly.
He nodded casually and continued walking forward.
For some reason, the folks who usually didn't pay much attention to him were particularly enthusiastic today, and everyone who saw him wanted to say hello.
Wang Laizi was a little puzzled, and then he became vigilant.
He touched the ten taels of silver given by Liu Mang in his arms. Did they know that he was rich and wanted to borrow money?
No, absolutely not, there is no way I can borrow it! Why do you always look down on me?
