"Then he got famous and killed us?" Mr. Guo sneered.
The swordsman stopped talking.
Mr. Guo said calmly: "As long as he joins the Golden Tiger Gang, he will definitely become a tiger general under my cousin. Now there is fierce fighting within the gang. If you don't advance, you will retreat. The business of my dock depends entirely on my cousin. He
No room for error.”
"What's more, this iron bull is determined and decisive. I am very optimistic about him."
…
The moon and stars are sparse.
After Liu Mang left the dock, he hurried home, fell on the bed and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, he called up the little fat man Liu Shu, dragged Liu Shu's family's cart, and rushed to the vegetable market together.
"Brother Mang, are you telling the truth?"
"There is still a lie, but now we have to keep it a secret and don't let the news leak out."
"I know, but I don't have any money. It's all in my dad's place, and he doesn't believe me."
"I'll lend you three taels first, and you'll pay me back later."
There are three large-scale vegetable markets in the outer city, and the one closest to Liujiacun is two miles away.
The original site of the vegetable market was an abandoned temple, with two stone paths extending from the entrance and exit of the temple, and densely packed businesses on both sides.
They all had a wooden table in front of them, with rice, meat, vegetables and other necessities placed on it, and they bargained fiercely with the villagers who came from time to time.
There were also two Sanhehui members wearing black clothes and black trousers patrolling the road to maintain order.
Liu Mang and Liu Shu specialize in purchasing rice. Nowadays, a pound of old rice is twelve cents, and a pound of new rice is twenty cents.
Liu Mang had more than a dozen taels of silver supported by Mr. Guo. With a wave of his hand, he bought two hundred catties of new rice and two hundred catties of old rice.
I also bought some bacon, preserved eggs, pickles and other foods that can be stored for a long time.
The little fat man Liu Shu also followed suit and squandered all the three taels of silver that Liu Mang lent him.
The two returned home with a full load. Someone in the village saw it and found it strange, so they couldn't help but ask Liu Mang why.
Having achieved his goal, Liu Mang no longer concealed anything and told them that the price of food would rise in two days. However, what puzzled him was that not many people believed him.
After returning home, Liu Mang also informed Uncle Wang and the two neighbors Wang Laizi, but he didn't know if they heard him or not. Anyway, he had fulfilled his obligation.
After solving the problem of food storage, Liu Mang rushed to Yin's home with the second-to-last bottle of old wine at home.
Mr. Yin and Mr. Zhong were actually still playing backgammon, which made Liu Mang a little bit dumbfounded.
After several days of practice, both of them have improved a lot in their chess skills. Mr. Yin is obviously better, beating Mr. Zhong five or six times in a row.
However, when he confidently approached Liu Mang, he was taught how to be a good person. He lost more than ten games in a row and never won a single one.
One day later.
The larger rice merchants in the vegetable market have quietly raised their rice prices, with new rice rising from twenty cents per catty to twenty-five cents.
Two days later.
The news that Liang City was breached finally came through.
The price of new rice in the vegetable market has soared to 40 cents per pound, and the price is still rising.
Even so, it cannot stop the enthusiasm of people rushing to buy rice.
Many rice merchants have announced that rice is sold out, and it is not ruled out that there are people hoarding it.
There were several conflicts in the vegetable market that day, and a bigger storm was brewing.
This day.
Liu Mang carried the last bottle of old wine at home, which was also the oldest wine, and the braised beef, and came to Yin's home.
The two parties have become very familiar with each other. He, Mr. Yin and Mr. Zhong sat at the main table in the hall, drinking wine, eating meat, and playing chess.
Liu Mang seemed to be a little restless, and he actually lost two games in a row to Mr. Yin, which made Mr. Yin frown.
"I see you are absent-minded. Is there something on your mind?"
"No, it's just that Mr. Yin's chess skills have improved a lot, and I can't stand it anymore."
"Don't try to trick me. I still know myself. If you have any difficulties, just tell me. Although Lao Zhong and I are not gods, we should be able to help you solve most of the problems in the world." Mr. Yin's words,
It's quite meaningful.
When Liu Mang heard this, he pondered for a moment and said sincerely: "Liangcheng was massacred, refugees moved, rice prices increased, meat prices increased, and gangs frequently acted. Although I am a grassroots man, I feel like a storm is coming.
feeling.”
"However, in troubled times, I don't have any skills or the means to settle down and make a living. It's not very scary."
Mr. Yin and Mr. Zhong looked at each other and said with a smile: "You kid, you said you wanted to learn martial arts so fresh and refined, it's really hard for you to endure it for so long."
"Lao Zhong and I will leave in a few days. We have been entertained by you for so many days, and we don't like to owe favors. So what if we give you a chance!"
Liu Mang was overjoyed.
Isn't this what he has been waiting for for so many days?
But he saw Mr. Yin taking out an old blue paper book from nowhere and throwing it to him. Liu Mang hurriedly caught it.
When I started to buy it, I discovered that the material of the booklet looked like paper but not paper, and it had the texture of a seed coat to the touch.
There are four big characters on the booklet: Tianying Sword Technique.
Sword skills?
Liu Mang felt slightly disappointed.
After all, what he has been looking forward to in his heart is inner strength and mental methods.
But something is better than nothing, and he doesn't have high requirements, as long as he can improve his strength.
Liu Mang opened the booklet and found that there were only eight pages in total.
The first page of the page reads in big letters: "There are two ways to improve your sword skills, one is to practice diligently, and the other is to kill!"
