Aaron is still selling fish. At this time, everyone knows that he is a skilled fisherman and often has good products, so they all like to buy from him.
Therefore, he collects the stalls earliest every day and gets the most money.
However, the numbers were still handed in on time.
"Oh... Master Yu, you really take care of my brother. With you taking the lead, it will be much easier for me to do my job here."
Fatty Wang was so grateful to him that he thanked him repeatedly: "I will be your host someday and invite Master Yu to the city to drink wine. Please be sure to give me a compliment!"
"Easy to say, easy to say."
Aaron dealt with it casually, but overall, it felt like Fatty Wang was more thoughtful than Zhang Heihu...
…
Yuyang Restaurant.
"Master Yu... I've found out everything."
After Aaron sat down, the waiter came to greet him and said in a low voice: "Lao Yutou did catch a red blood carp, but he also knew that many of the big restaurants in Taize Prefecture had spies from the Goldfish Gang, so he walked all day and night
Road, go to the nearby county to sell!"
"It's just an accident... there happened to be a servant in the back kitchen of the big fish buying house, who was a relative of a disciple of the 'Goldfish Gang'. After this, the news spread to the gang. The gang leader was furious and said he would punish him severely. Even Zhang Heihu
They were all disappointed... Then they paid a lot of money to hire a 'golden-eyed catcher' to take his apprentice out of the mountain, and finally caught Lao Yutou back!"
"That's it...this old man Yu's life is really bad." After knowing the cause and effect, Aaron took out a handful of big money and gave it to the waiter: "This is for you to reward me with wine!"
"Okay."
The waiter yelled and then lowered his voice: "I'm sorry for talking too much, but Old Yu has been falling out with you recently. We are all poor people. We need to save our lives. Other things are not worth it..."
"Yes, we are already estranged."
Aaron murmured, put the rice wine on the stove, and shouted: "Another plate of broad beans!"
When the broad beans arrived, he picked up one, popped it into his mouth, and silently savored the taste.
A gust of fragrant wind came, but Si Niang sat opposite him with a smile like a flower: "I will drink with you as much as you drink today..."
…
night.
Zhang Heihu's family.
A figure sneaked over the wall and entered. The old yellow dog in the corner was awakened. Just as he was about to bark twice, he covered the dog's head and stabbed it in the neck.
"Oh...oh..."
"You damn bitch, please be gentle with the medicine..."
From the master bedroom, Zhang Heihu's cry of pain could be heard.
After some fussing, a woman hurriedly opened the door and went to the kitchen to boil water.
The dark figure broke into the master bedroom and saw Zhang Heihu lying on his stomach.
"Damn it, has the water arrived?"
Zhang Heihu was shouting when he suddenly smelled a fishy smell, saw a flash of a knife from the corner of his eye, and rolled a few times.
puff!
A dagger was stuck straight into the bed, and Xiao Chu's eyes were about to burst: "You thief, you must die!"
"It's really you little brat!"
Zhang Heihu kicked Xiao Chu away with a flying kick.
After all, he had practiced martial arts. Although he had never entered the spirit, the force and weight of his legs made Xiao Chu unable to get up for a long time.
"Haha, I wanted to kill you Lord Tiger, but it was eight hundred years early!"
Zhang Heihu grinned because the wound was affected, pulled out the dagger that Xiao Chu had dropped, and said: "I will send you to reunite with your father now!"
"ah!!!"
Little Chu's eyes were about to burst, he hated it!
Why are you so useless?
The enemy is clearly right in front of us, but there is still nothing we can do!
call out!
Just when Zhang Heihu was grinning ferociously and about to take action, a stone suddenly flew out of the window.
Snap!
Zhang Heihu lost his footing and fell directly to the ground, with the dagger in his hand flying to the side.
Seeing this God-given opportunity, Xiao Chu picked up the dagger, jumped on Zhang Heihu crazily, and started stabbing him desperately.
At first, Zhang Heihu screamed, but then his voice disappeared...
"Huhu..."
Xiao Chu gasped, staggered up, his face and body covered with blood, and walked out of the door.
"ah!"
When a woman saw Xiao Chu covered in blood, she screamed and dropped the wooden basin in her hand, spilling hot water all over the floor.
Xiao Chu was startled and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground.
But he didn't care about this, and ran away from the back door in embarrassment amidst the woman's screams of "murder"...
He ran all the way to the shore, a cold wind blew by, and he suddenly felt calmer.
Xiao Chu looked at the shadowy reed and suddenly said loudly: "Brother Yu, Brother Yu, is that you?"
"Stop hiding, I saw you!"
Inside the reed, Aaron's expression was extremely calm and he continued to sleep.
If he could be deceived by this young man with just a few words, he would no longer have to hang out in the world.
Xiao Chu shouted a few words, then suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times: "Since the master doesn't want to show up, I, Chu Tianhe, won't force me!"
"Thank you, Master, for helping me avenge this blood feud!"
"Tianhe is going to join the rebels in the water village in the lake. If the master is called upon in the future, he will not hesitate to die!"
After saying that, he jumped into the boat and rowed towards the depths of Taize Lake...
"Rebels?"
Aaron touched his chin.
The harvest in recent years has been poor, and many people have fled to Taize Lake, forming dozens of groups of water bandits, large and small.
This is probably what Xiao Chu wants to vote for.
But the life of a water bandit is worse than that of a fisherman!
Under the crackdown from the government, it was even difficult to eat salt!
Moreover, the mortality rate of licking blood from the knife edge is much higher than that of fishermen.
He really wasn't too optimistic about Xiao Chu's success.
'But...Chu Tianhe? This is a good name. Maybe this boy will become a great person in the future?'
…
The next day.
The entire fish market and dock were silent.
After all, the dead man is still the former little leader of the Goldfish Gang.
Fatty Wang personally led his people to cordon off the scene, waiting for the Goldfish Gang and the police to arrive.
Aaron also mixed in with the crowd and watched the fun.
Not long after, I saw a young man from a wealthy family wearing flying fish brocade clothes with fish scale patterns on his sleeves and collar walking over.
Behind him, Fatty Wang and several detectives nodded and bowed, with flattering expressions on their faces.
"This...should be Duan Lang, the young leader of the Goldfish Gang, right?"
"It is said that I am only twenty years old this year, and I have already achieved great success in my Ming Dynasty. In the future, I will be able to enter the Dark Dynasty and become a master!"
…
Aaron paid special attention to Duan Lang.
The opponent had long and narrow cheeks, with the look of an eagle, and he was also quite proficient in martial arts. He seemed to sense Aaron's gaze, and without turning his body while walking, he turned his head, startling the person who was talking before.
'You turn your head but don't turn around. This is the sign of Wolf Gu! Wolf Gu Yingwang... is a ruthless person!'
Duan Lang didn't say anything and walked directly into Zhang Heihu's house.
Zhang Heihu's body was placed on a straw mat in the yard, covered with white cloth and stained with blood...
"Young Gang Leader, please look... this is the knife used by the murderer. The wounds are messy. It is obvious that the murderer does not know martial arts!"
Fatty Wang handed over a blood-stained dagger: "According to Blacksmith Wang's confession... this knife was indeed sold by him. The blade is very new, just recently... The buyer of the knife is Lao Chutou's son, Xiao Chu!
"
"Young Gang Leader..." A Zaoyi police officer also said with his hands: "We have drawn a portrait of the prisoner and identified it for Zhang Heihu's concubine. The murderer is indeed this person... In addition, according to the fishermen, Xiao Chu's father was once
Zhang Heihu was beaten to death, and two of his fingers were cut off. This was revenge for killing his father."
"The motive, murder weapon, and witnesses are all there...the case can be closed."
"Well, let's leave it like that."
Duan Lang casually threw the dagger to Fatty Wang: "No matter how unbearable Zhang Heihu is, he is still a member of my Goldfish Gang. This trend must not rise. We must capture that little Chu, cut out his heart and liver, and pay homage to our brothers in the gang..."
"This..." Fatty Wang wiped the sweat from his face: "Since that kid did such a thing, he must have run away...or gone to the lake to become a bandit..."
“Even if it’s difficult, it must be done.”
Duan Lang was too lazy to make excuses with Fatty Wang and strode out of the courtyard. Suddenly he looked at Aaron again.
The fisherman next to Aaron pushed away automatically, and a member of the Goldfish Gang immediately stepped forward and whispered Aaron's identity.
"It turns out to be Brother Fang from Qingshan Martial Arts School!"
Duan Lang took a step forward and came to greet him: "I have also met the senior brother Ding Shan from Guiwu Hall, and he had a drink and chatted with Brother Ding. This little brother is a talented person, and he is a fisherman in our gang. Are you willing to join our gang?"
He smiled: "Once you join the gang, this fish market will be handed over to you, brother Fang Yu."
"Thank you, Young Gang Leader, for looking up to me, but I'm not good at managerial affairs... I'd rather focus on practicing martial arts and fishing on the side." Aaron declined.
"Oh? Could it be that little brother thinks that our gang is too small to accommodate a true Buddha?" Duan Lang narrowed his eyes.
"No, I don't want to cause trouble... The life of licking blood from the edge of a knife is too exciting. I really can't stand it. I'll tell you the truth... I even declined the invitations from the martial arts guards who escorted me."
As a qualified martial artist, there are still many places to make money, and Aaron is telling the truth.
His senior brothers and sisters in the inner courtyard did recruit him to become a bodyguard, but he would not do such a job that paid quickly.
If you haven't practiced martial arts to the point of being invincible, why should you go and refresh the map to seek death?
"I see……"
Duan Lang stopped talking, turned around and left.
A martial arts master who has just become active is not that rare. If he didn't have connections with the Qingshan Martial Arts School, he wouldn't even bother to recruit him.
"Young Gang Leader...that poor fisherman doesn't know how to appreciate others. Don't be as knowledgeable as him."
Fatty Wang quickly caught up with him, but he was actually relieved that his job was saved!
"What's the use of a martial artist who doesn't want to make progress... and doesn't dare to see blood?"
Duan Lang sneered several times: "I started learning martial arts at the age of nineteen, which is already too late... It is difficult to learn martial arts too early to damage the body, and too late to solidify the muscles and bones... I have seen him spend his whole life, just at the threshold of entry.
If it wasn't for Dingshan's sake, I wouldn't even bother to say a word."
…
Half a month later.
it's clear.
Aaron walked into Taize Fucheng with a bunch of dried fish in his hands.
After what happened last time, his relationship with Fatty Wang has improved a lot, and they can be accommodating in some areas.
Moreover, this kind of small whitebait is not worth much, so fishermen usually don't bother to sell it, they just dry it and use it as snacks for children.
He walked all the way through Qingshan Martial Arts Hall and entered the 'Rejuvenation Hall' next to it.
"Mr. Ge...I'm here again."
Aaron smiled and lifted the dried fish on his hand: "The freshly dried dried fish, I know this is the best one for you, I found it specially!"
Mr. Ge's face twitched, but he did not refute. He asked several apprentices to take over the work he was doing and took Aaron to the back hall.
I don't have any other hobbies, I'm just a bit greedy.
Ever since he found out that Mr. Ge liked to eat small whitebait dried with wine, Aaron often brought the fish over to chat with him.
The main thing is that you have thick skin, and the rest doesn't matter.
Although Mr. Ge's face was gloomy, he quickly packed up the stone table and benches, and took out a wine pot and two wine glasses.
I poured myself a glass of wine and slowly ate the dried fish with a look of enjoyment on my face.
After shaking his head for a while, he suddenly said: "You kid come here so often...what are you thinking about?"
Since the last time he tried a bowl, Aaron has never mentioned the 'Qinglong Life-Destroying Soup'. After all, this is his life's work, and it is unrealistic to try to steal it.
Still need to wait slowly for the opportunity.
"Aren't I interested in medical skills..."
Aaron took the initiative to add wine to Mr. Ge: "And... you are always knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Every time I chat with you, I benefit a lot."
These are also true. Mr. Ge has a lot of experience in the world, and he likes to talk about what he has learned after having a good time, which opened Aaron's eyes.
Mr. Ge was noncommittal and continued to drink. Gradually he became more cheerful and began to scold his incompetent son.
According to what he said, the unfilial son had no interest in inheriting the medical skills he was proud of. Instead, he indulged in poetry and songs all day long and wanted to become a scholar. He refused to listen to any advice.
Aaron listened with a smile and chimed in from time to time.
He had actually been thinking about the other party and the elder Ge's disciples for a long time.
Well, things will go well if things go slowly!
It is easy to break your face if you speak rashly, but establish a good relationship first, and it will be much easier to wait a hundred years after Ge Lao to obtain the prescription of 'Qinglong Life-Destroying Soup' from his prodigal son and his apprentice...
Mr. Ge has a stubborn personality, but several of his apprentices seem to be money-hungry...
After Ge Lao got drunk, Aaron took the opportunity to ask a few questions: "Mr. Ge...although you don't practice martial arts, you are very familiar with the martial arts in Taize, right?"
"Hehe... Of course, what kind of eyesight do I have?" Mr. Ge said proudly: "Even if the old man of the Liu family got sidetracked by his martial arts back then, I was the one who saved him... hiccup..."
"Then I don't know what the advantages and disadvantages of each martial arts school are?"
"When it comes to martial arts, the Cao family's 'Red Line Sword' and the Liu family's 'Iron Clothes Fist'... are truly outstanding, especially the 'Red Line Sword'. Those with weapons have an advantage over those without weapons!"
Mr. Ge became interested: "But the Liu family's 'Iron Clothes Fist' is not bad, it is a martial art that can be practiced to the point of turning strength..."
"After practicing Gu An Jin, can you change your muscles and transform your energy?" Aaron's eyes lit up.
"Exactly...but you don't have to think about it...even if your master Xue Qingshan only has one "Black Sand Palm" in his hands! He has achieved the ultimate level of dark strength. Hehe...what, are you very disappointed?
Elder Ge asked with a smile.
"It's not bad. Anyway, you think I'm just going to be obsessed with Mingjin all my life. Why do I have so much to think about and nothing to do?" Aaron shrugged.
"It's boring..." Ge Lao curled his lips, picked up another small dried fish, and chewed it slowly.
"Mr. Ge... do you know about some evil martial arts?" Aaron suddenly asked: "For example... the progress is rapid, but the side effects are terrible, such as shortening one's lifespan?"
