Beiyin Great Sage

"Six sons, you're doing well." Uncle Zheng laughed dryly:

"This is joining the gang, congratulations."

"You're welcome!" Xu Liu's face was gloomy:

"The uncle hacked me with a knife that day, but Liu Zi has always remembered it. By the way, I will tell you that this area will belong to our Giant Whale Gang from now on."

"If I have time, I will come here often!"

As he spoke, he gestured to the two people behind him:

"Let's go!"

Watching the three of them wander away, Uncle Zheng looked worried, while Zhou Yi cautiously approached Ergou, checking his breath.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief:

"I'm still angry, I'm not dead."

"what happened?"

"Was that the six sons just now?"

"It's him. Some time ago, he didn't know what kind of shit luck he had, but he joined the Giant Whale Gang, and he will become a master in the future."

At this time, the neighbors in the surrounding neighborhood also gathered around, whispering among themselves.

Although Ergou is not dead, the situation is very bad, his body is full of hideous wounds, his breath is dying, and he doesn't know if he can survive it.

……

"crunch..."

Zhou Yi pushed open the door and stepped inside.

"How is it?" Uncle Zheng turned back:

"Did you hear anything?"

"Yeah." Zhou Yi nodded:

"Ergou frequently sold mountain mushrooms at the market during this period, and was targeted by people. The six sons led people to stop him on the way back to the city."

"Fortunately, I didn't catch him on the spot, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to come back."

There are obviously eyeliners of the Giant Whale Gang in the market. Er Gou is young and energetic, and has a showy temperament, so it is normal for people to stare at him.

"Hey!"

Aunt Bai's eyes were red and she complained in a low voice:

"I reminded him not to cause trouble, but he didn't listen. Now that he's in this situation, what's the use of earning more money?"

"We are all from peasant backgrounds, so it's good to live an honest life, and it's fine to give half to the gang members and give them half."

Zhou Yi shook his head:

"One more thing. Jimin Lane will be managed by the Giant Whale Gang in the future. I heard that protection fees will be collected next month. The exact amount has not been announced yet."

"Porridge giving will start tomorrow, and it will also change from two games a day to one game a day."

"what!"

Aunt Bai turned pale:

"If you don't have porridge, you still need to collect protection fees. The imperial court said that we would exempt us refugees from labor taxes for three years. Does the government care about this?"

"The yamen must know." Uncle Zheng said in a muffled voice:

"The imperial court exempted the refugees from labor and taxation, and they will definitely get it back from the wealthy businessmen and gangs, and they will squeeze us again."

"Hey!"

"In the end, nothing can be avoided!"

Zhou Yi remained silent.

Aunt Bai sighed.

"We offended the six sons. He is now a member of the Giant Whale Gang. He will inevitably make things difficult in the future. I think..." Uncle Zheng glanced at Aunt Bai:

"The method that Lao Qi said is not impossible."

"To be a tenant?" Aunt Bai hesitated for a moment:

"I heard that being a tenant here is [-]-[-] cents, and [-] percent of the annual harvest is given to the master's family. The remaining [-] percent may not be enough to eat."

The so-called tenants are farmers who live by renting and cultivating land from large landlord families.

The landlord provides the land, the tenants work, and the harvest is distributed according to the agreed ratio, usually [-]% to [-]%, and only [-]% to [-]% when encountering strict masters.

"Not at all."

Uncle Zheng shook his head:

"The land here is fertile, [-]% is enough to eat and drink, and the owner's family provides arable land, and I still have a few years of strength, so I will just rent a few more acres by then."

"In the countryside, there are not so many strong people."

Aunt Bai opened her mouth, but stopped talking.

She prefers to stay in the city, not only because the city is prosperous and has all kinds of things, but also because she can also earn money in the city.

When I went to the countryside, there was less consumption, but there were not many ways to earn money.

"Little B."

Looking at Zhou Yi, Aunt Bai said slowly:

"what's your plan?"

"I..." Zhou Yi pondered for a while, then shook his head:

"I intend to stay."

He has already made up his mind to join the Lin Family Martial Arts Academy, no matter how bad he is, he will find a way to practice martial arts. How can there be any way out in the countryside?

and,

[-] points?

Landlord Lao Cai will only squeeze people to the limit, [-]% if they can survive starvation, then [-]%;

This is no different from capitalist exploitation.

Regarding Zhou Yi's choice, both of them were full of regrets. After all, Uncle Zheng was not young enough to work hard for a few years.

Zhou Yi is in his prime, so it would be nice to help him plant crops together.

"water……"

"water!"

Ergou's hoarse voice sounded, and Aunt Bai hurriedly got up, took a bowl of hot water and sent him to drink it carefully, and touched his forehead by the way.

"So hot?"

"Injury, internal heat." Uncle Zheng approached, frowning:

"In this case, it will definitely not work."

"Money." Er Gou seemed to hear something vaguely, struggled to raise his right hand, and pointed towards the straw that he often lay on:

"my money."

Aunt Bai's eyes lit up, she hurriedly rummaged through the pile of straw, and found a heavy money bag.

With a slight shake, I'm afraid it won't cost more than a hundred coins.

"That much money?"

Subconsciously, she tightly grasped the hand of the purse, and then looked at the few people in the field, her eyes were a little strange, and there was a hint of greed.

"Ahem..." Uncle Zheng coughed dryly, and waved at her again and again:

"The money belongs to Ergou, you should buy him medicine."

"I'll go." Zhou Yi stood up straight:

"I know a few words and can keep accounts. Do you want to go with Aunt Bai?"

"it is good."

Before Aunt Bai could refuse, Uncle Zheng had already nodded yes.

……

One hundred and five words!

This is Er Gou's desperately earned money, which seems to be a lot, but it is only enough to buy three medicines from the pharmacy, and there is no doctor to consult.

Whether it is right or not is a matter of two opinions.

After taking three sets of medicines, whether he can sustain it all depends on whether his life is hard or not.

In the next few days, Ergou continued to have a high fever, his lips were chapped and purple, he stopped talking in his dreams, and his body twitched from time to time.

Uncle Zheng stayed with Aunt Bai openly and aboveboard, and even asked his daughter to call him Daddy.

When times are tough, it's common to cling to each other for comfort.

The three of them have decided to become tenants, and are currently in contact with nearby neighbors who have the intention to go together.

In this way, there will be a care for each other in the future.

Five days later.

Uncle Zheng, Aunt Bai, and Nanna bid farewell to Zhou Yi. There were dozens of people in their company, and they went to Hongjiabao together to be tenants.

Mr. Hong is a retired official, he can be exempted from corvee under his name, and Mr. Hong is kind-hearted and doesn't treat people too harshly.

of course.

These are just the news they inquired, and the specific situation will be clear in due course.

At the time of parting, Uncle Zheng gave Zhou Yi his long sword as a gift. According to him, he never wanted to wield swords and guns with others in his life.

Zhou Yi took out a jade token he picked up from a corpse on the road to exile. The quality of the jade was poor, but it should be worth a few dozen coins.

When parting, it is inevitable that there will be some sadness.

Nannan cried even more with pear blossoms and rain.

As soon as a few people left, the room was much empty.

Ergou was lucky, he no longer had a fever, and he could barely drink some porridge, but his eyes were still dull and his consciousness was confused, and he didn't know when he would recover.

During this time, Uncle Zheng and Aunt Bai were out and about all day long, and Zhou Yi stayed in the house except for going up the mountain occasionally, so he was free.

Fortunately, I have been practicing knife skills.

With the 'Golden Finger', every time the wind splitter is practiced, there will be certain gains.

After a period of time, he has become proficient in the moves, and the nine sword moves are almost waving, sometimes the sword is flashing, which is quite bluffing.

Suddenly.

"Shh!"

The light of the knife flashed, and there was a faint afterimage. The knife's technique cut across the air, and there was a subtle whistle of the knife.

"Ok?"

Zhou Yi was taken aback for a moment, and his consciousness immediately turned to the sea of ​​consciousness.

really.

Wind Cleave: Skilled (1/100)

Chongguan (4/100)

The wind splitting knife technique has broken through the entry stage and reached the level of proficiency, but it is unexpected to be able to cut out the afterimage that Uncle Zheng said with just proficiency.

I don't know.

The wind splitting knife method does not pay much attention to moves, how to stand upright and exert strength is fundamental.

Zhou Yi practiced frequently, and adjusted his power-generating skills from time to time as his proficiency improved, which naturally far surpassed other people's blind groping.
