The entire martial arts gym had been waiting all morning, but still no sign of Wang Yan was seen.
Finally, a senior brother went outside to inquire and found out where Wang Yan lived. When he went there, he saw that the house was empty.
Wang Yan had already packed his things and ran away!
Knowing the news, Cheng Shasha was completely desperate and hid in a corner and couldn't help sobbing.
Su Anlin sighed far away. He knew that Cheng Shasha had lent Wang Yan a lot of money, but now it was wasted money.
Although I sympathize, there is nothing I can do.
At noon, two tall government officials came to the martial arts gym. After finding Hong Wu, the three of them talked in the room.
Hongwu didn't close the door and allowed the two government officials to talk. He frowned, occasionally nodding and agreeing with each other's words.
Su Anlin had a vague feeling that something had happened.
By chance, Xu Jinnian came over and said, "An Lin, you are still here. I just wanted to go to your house to find you. Please dress up quickly."
"dress up?"
Xu Jinnian's eyes widened: "We're going on a blind date at the Zizhulin Tea Party."
Su Anlin frowned: "Let's forget it."
The current situation has been a bit chaotic recently, and the demons and lunatics from Linguang County have a tendency to come here.
Therefore, he has no interest in blind dates or anything like that.
"You kid, I've lost a lot of energy."
"I won't go." Su Anlin shook his head: "I'm just a poor man, and I'm going to ask for trouble."
"I won't allow you to look down on yourself so much, go..."
Xu Jinnian made up his mind to drag Su Anlin away.
After all, his three cousins were all dressed up and dressed up today. As long as Su Anlin could take a fancy to them, that would be fine.
He is worried that if Su Anlin is not dealt with now, people from other families will come looking for him when news about him comes out, and the competition will be great.
"Xu Jinnian, you came just in time." Suddenly, Hong Wu's voice came from inside the house.
"Xu Jinnian, Ouyang Hong'er, Shasha, you all come here."
These three people are currently the strongest in the martial arts gym.
The three of them entered the room and glanced at the yamen servant.
The two government officials nodded slightly as a greeting.
"Let me tell you something. Linguang County has become a no-man's land. Monsters, lunatics and ghost corpses rushed into the city a few nights ago, and many people died!"
"You also know that after that kind of evil spirit hurts people, people will also become that kind of thing. Because we are close, many people escaped."
"The trouble now is that there are many demons, lunatics and ghost corpses outside, and sporadic cases of ghost corpses hurting people have appeared in the city."
"The City Lord's Mansion doesn't have enough manpower. I hope we can take action. You guys are now considered the most powerful ones in the martial arts school. Even if you encounter monsters and lunatics, you can stand alone!"
After Hong Wu finished speaking, he clasped his fists for the chief Yamen officer: "The situation is urgent, please take action. Of course, the Lord of the City has said that your help will not be in vain."
"Should we go out of the city to deal with the demonic lunatic?" Xu Jinnian asked.
"Yes, the rest of us have contacted other martial arts schools to help together. What we know so far is that the areas where demonic madmen are infested are near several villages downstream. We are going to divide into teams of ten people and search near the villages."
"I'm willing to help." Surprisingly, Cheng Shasha was the first to agree.
Hong Wu glanced at her unexpectedly, knowing that Cheng Shasha was unwilling to show up in the past.
Ouyang Hong'er held the sword at her waist and frowned.
Her family is pretty good, although not as good as Xu Jinnian's family, but it can still be considered a wealthy family.
So she hesitated and said, "I have to discuss it with my father."
"Me too." Xu Jinnian said.
He is the only son of the Xu family, so it is absolutely impossible for him to take risks, but after thinking about it, he continued: "However, my Xu family should provide some guards to assist you."
"That's good." The officer relaxed and turned to Hong Wu: "Then please, Mr. Hong, ask other disciples to prepare and set off early tomorrow morning."
"Can."
Hong Wu nodded.
As soon as the Yamen officials left, Hong Wu gathered all his disciples and explained the matter.
Finally, he said: "Some of you may be able to fight against ghosts and corpses, but encountering demons and lunatics is very troublesome, so I won't force you. If you think you can do it, go to Shasha and sign up. My martial arts school will provide meals.
The city lord's palace will allocate the money and will definitely not let you sweat in vain."
After finishing speaking, Cheng Shasha held a table at the door.
The mistress brought pens, inks, paper and inkstones. Cheng Shasha had just sat down when a person came over.
This person was tall and blocked the sunlight in front of him: "Senior sister, let me be the first to sign up."
"Su Anlin!"
Cheng Shasha nodded: "Okay."
Hong Wu looked at Su Anlin and sighed.
In fact, what he least wanted to see was Su Anlin participating.
After all, he is good at practicing Iron Bone Kung Fu. If he encounters an accident, he will have no place to cry. Where can he find such good talents in the future?
"Su Anlin, come here."
Hong Wu shouted and turned around to enter the house.
Su Anlin entered the room, curious: "Master."
"You have advanced in Iron Bone Kung Fu not long ago, so there is no need to take risks."
Su Anlin understood something, but felt helpless. If he didn't fight monsters, how could he level up?
He immediately said seriously: "Master, in fact, I have dealt with demons and lunatics before..."
He briefly talked about what happened in Linguang County.
Hong Wu was surprised: "I didn't expect that your boy would have such an experience."
He gradually understood that Su Anlin grew up so fast just because of actual combat!
Many people encounter bottlenecks and cannot get over them, but by chance, a life-and-death battle may break through the bottleneck.
"Master, please don't worry, I will be careful."
"Hey, okay then." Hong Wu patted Su Anlin on the shoulder, with a look of reluctance.
He turned around and took out a leather bag from the cabinet and handed it to Su Anlin: "Here is a set of armor. You put it on. The lunatic's nails are strong, so it's okay to scratch on it."
"Thank you, Master."
"Go ahead."
After coming out, many disciples were already signing up.
I heard that the price offered by the City Lord's Mansion this time is quite good.
One tael of silver a day, if the team can kill the ghost corpse, the team will be rewarded fifty taels!
If they can kill the madman, the team will be directly rewarded with one hundred taels.
Of course, most people here are not here for the fifty taels and one hundred taels.
But for one tael of silver.
Most people are actually not very strong, but they want to make money. They have a lucky idea in their hearts, thinking that they will not encounter monsters or madmen.
Even if they encounter it, some people think they can run fast.
"An Lin, let's go."
Xu Jinnian took Su Anlin out.
"Senior brother, there are all crazy people out there, you still want to go on a blind date?"
Su Anlin was speechless.
Xu Jinnian never looked back:
"Is there any difference between having more of you and less of you in this kind of thing? Besides, we're not leaving tomorrow. Let's go to Zizhulin now. It won't be in the way. By the way, I'll take you to Zhangzhangyan to meet some young ladies from wealthy families.
,isn’t it bad?”
"Can……"
"Senior brother, this is for your own good. You are still too young. You don't know how good a rich woman is when you are young, and you mistake martial arts training for a treasure..."
…
Back home, Su Anlin could only change her clothes and follow Xu Jinnian out.
Purple Bamboo Forest is actually located by a lake. The scenery here is beautiful and the environment is beautiful. It is a good place for many young people to go out and find love.
The place was a bit remote. As I followed Xu Jinnian along the way, I soon noticed a pavilion in the distance, where a dozen men and women were already chatting.
This group of people are all dressed in extremely gorgeous clothes, especially the women, who are very beautiful. There is also a row of attendants standing next to them, ready for orders at any time.
After scanning around, Su Anlin was a little surprised to meet an acquaintance again.
Fellow fellow Huang Lijuan, why is she here?
"An Lin, this is my cousin, Xu Xiaohua."
"This is also my cousin, Xu Chan."
"This is Xu Li."
As soon as he passed, three cousins stood in front of Su Anlin.
They all look different, but they have one thing in common, that is, they are all short, maybe they eat well, and all three have some baby fat and bow legs.
It seems that Xu Jinnian still thinks that I am not picky about food.
Fortunately, looking at the three women, they didn't seem to be very interested in him.
Perhaps because of Xu Jinnian's reputation, the three women came here bravely.
Huang Lijuan stood not far away, looking at Su Anlin with some surprise.
This time she was brought here by her fellow senior sister.
It was here that the senior sister found her husband, so she dragged Huang Lijuan over to try her luck, just in case she could meet a young man from a wealthy family.
I didn't expect to meet an acquaintance.
"Hey, isn't that person your fellow countryman?"
Senior sister noticed Su Anlin and whispered:
"Why are all the cats and dogs here? Lijuan, let me tell you, if he greets you, don't pay any attention to him, so as not to lose your status. It's not good for other gentlemen to see you and you don't know."
Just as he was talking, the senior sister's boyfriend came over with a man.
This man is quite tall, with a thin build. He looks quite mature and steady, but he looks a bit older.
"Junior sister, this is Mr. Fei Xiang."
The moment Fei Xiang saw Wang Lijuan, his eyes lit up and he smiled and said: "Miss Huang..."
…
In the pavilion, a fire was lit in the tea stove, and the fragrance of fragrant tea overflowed.
After Su Anlin had a few words with Xu Jinnian's three cousins, the three cousins all found various excuses and walked aside.
"Hey, you really shouldn't have come."
Su Anlin was sitting on pins and needles.
Xu Jinnian met an acquaintance and went to say hello, but now he was sitting alone, feeling extremely embarrassed.
From the corner of his eye, he subconsciously looked at Huang Lijuan, who was much more mature than before.
She is no longer the girl who talks nonsense and makes fun of him when she sees him.
It's not that he has any feelings for Huang Lijuan, he just feels sorry for her. Things have changed. It's only been about a month, and so much has already changed.
He didn't plan to go over to say hello. The last time they met, he felt that Huang Lijuan was a little out of control.
Think about it, it's hard for a country girl to squeeze into the city circle.
Su Anlin understands other people's difficulties, so he won't disturb them. He plans to sit there for a while and then leave.
…
…
"Hey, I don't know what I think, how can I introduce this to me."
Not far away, three women, Xu Xiaohua, Xu Li and Xu Chan, were beeping quietly.
From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Su Anlin in the pavilion from time to time.
