Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

When Xu Damao arrived at the central courtyard, he saw Liu Guangfu standing under a big tree in the courtyard, and Lou San was sitting at a stone table under the tree, reading a book leisurely.

"Third brother, what's the physique of Guangfu? To what extent can he train?" Xu Damao asked.

“My physique is okay, but I started practicing a little late. At my age, I can only reach the peak of Ming Jin at most.” Lou San started practicing martial arts since he was a child under the training of the Lou family. He is also quite talented, and now he is a master of the peak of An Jin. He is only one step away from breaking through to the master of Hua Jin, but this layer of barrier is like an insurmountable chasm.

As for Xu Damao, he only has abnormal physical fitness and martial arts moves, but he does not have the internal strength that they have.

"We don't require this kid to have great achievements in martial arts. It will be enough for him to be able to strengthen his body and have a certain degree of self-protection. By the way, I will ask Xiaojiu to notify everyone to hold a meeting later to discuss future development."

"Okay, son-in-law. Let's go to the main house for a meeting. Guangfu, you should take a rest first." The main house is usually the residence of the master family, so none of Lou San and his friends moved in and it has been empty. Only occasionally when discussing things or assigning tasks will they go to the living room of the main house in the middle courtyard.

Liu Guangfu was standing under the tree with his teeth bared. When Xu Damao came in, he looked at him like a relative and never took his eyes off him. When he heard that he could take a break, he didn't care whether the ground was dirty or not. He sat down on the ground with a tired butt, and kept shouting.

"Oh, Brother Damao, this is not something a human should learn. It's really tiring. Why did you ask me to practice martial arts? Today's martial arts are useless!"

"Hey, Guangfu, the master I found for you is a master. Ten idiots are no match for him. Lao San, show this kid how to do it."

Lou San nodded, walked to the wall and climbed over the wall, took two bricks and climbed down again.

"Kid, watch this." Lou San took a brick in his hand and began to exert force. Soon the brick shattered because it could not withstand Lou San's strength.

"Son-in-law, you are so capable, show us your skills." At this time, people who came to prepare for the meeting also came to the central courtyard, and they all shouted for the son-in-law to show us his skills.

How could Xu Damao miss such a great opportunity to establish his authority? He did not have time to look for it and directly exchanged a hundred years of internal energy from the system.

The internal force was quickly infused. Xu Damao remained calm on the surface. He took the brick handed to him by Lou San and applied a little force. The brick broke into two halves. Xu Damao pinched half of the brick with two fingers and slowly twisted it into powder.

Hiss, there was a sound of people sucking in cold air all around.

However, Xu Damao's performance was not over yet. He put the remaining half of the brick on the table, then took two steps back and punched out. Xu Damao's fist stopped three inches in front of the blue brick, but the blue brick did not change at all.

"How come nothing happened?"

"Isn't this a missed shot?"

"Is my eyes blurry? There is really no change!"

Only Lou San, who was at the peak of Dark Power, figured out something. He walked over and blew gently with his mouth, and the half brick turned into powder and floated down.

At this time, Xu Damao stood with his hands behind his back, looking like a master.

The crowd was completely in an uproar. They hadn't dared to think about it just now, but now the ironclad fact was before them. They, who had practiced martial arts since childhood, were instantly excited.

"Grandmaster of Huajin!"

"Grandmaster-level expert!"

“It’s actually a Grand Master!”

The few Huajin masters recognized by the Chinese martial arts community today were from the Republic of China period, and no one has recently claimed to have broken through to the Huajin realm. Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that some masters are more low-key and unwilling to show up. Now a living Huajin master is standing in front of them, how can they not be excited!

"Master, please accept me as your disciple!"

"Please accept us as your disciples!"

A group of people bowed in unison, clasped their fists and saluted, asking Xu Damao to accept them as his disciples.

"Don't be like that. I don't have that much time to teach you. Practicing martial arts mainly depends on your understanding, but if I have time, I can give you some pointers. I also have a few ancient books on physical training and boxing. I'll bring them to you next time so you can study them at ordinary times."

Everyone thanked him with satisfaction, and Liu Guangfu's eyes were shining with excitement. He realized how powerful Brother Damao was. Brother Damao was too low-key in the hospital. Sha Zhu couldn't stand this move. Could it be that Sha Zhu's bones were harder than bricks?

"Okay, let's stop talking about this and have a small meeting first." Lou San interrupted everyone's discussion and gestured with his hand to let Xu Damao go first.

Xu Damao was not polite either. He walked into the living room of the main house first and sat down in the main seat. The others followed him in.

"Everyone, please sit down. Stop standing."

Although everyone was doing it, there were only a limited number of chairs. Those with higher seniority would sit down, while those with lower seniority would just stand and listen.

Xu Damao coughed twice and said, "These days, apart from working, I have been thinking about everyone's future. You were all raised by my father-in-law before, and now that you are with me, I can't just ignore you.

I know what you did before, and I don't think you would be willing to work in the factory. It just so happens that I have a friend who can get a lot of food and meat, as well as some other scarce supplies. My idea is that we can control a black market to buy and sell supplies.

This way, not only can everyone earn money, but it can also provide an alternative way for the residents of Sijiu City to make a living, and it can also help me collect some antiques such as antiques, calligraphy and paintings. What do you think about this?"

"Well, my son-in-law is still very thoughtful."

"I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I am used to fighting and killing. I am really too lazy to go to work."

"I've been wanting to do something big for a long time. Why should those bastards make all the money?"

"Support Uncle!"

At this time, Lou San also stood up and said, "From now on, everyone should stop calling him Gu Ye. Since the master handed us over to the Gu Ye before he left, from now on, we should all call him Dong Jia or Lao Ye."

"Hey, no, no, no, please don't call me master. Now it's a new society. Those who are older than me can call me by my name, and those who are younger than me can just call me brother." Xu Damao hurriedly spoke out to stop him.

"Boss, the rules cannot be abolished. We martial artists value rules and morality the most."

"Then you can call me whatever you want when there are no outsiders around, but when there are outsiders around, just do as I say. Don't get into trouble because of this."

"Yes, Boss." Everyone said in unison.

Xu Damao said, "Okay, let's discuss the details now. First, we need to send people to several nearby black markets to investigate the situation, such as the size of the black market, whether the transportation is convenient, the number of people flowing into the market, and the exact situation of the people behind the black market."

"Don't worry, Boss. We are good at this."

Xu Damao nodded, "Then we will find someone who is suitable in all aspects and drive them out directly. If someone wants to join us, we will test them and then place them on the periphery. Our core secrets must not be known to outsiders."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and some young people were even so excited by what Xu Damao said that they were eager to go out and do something big.

"Finally, we need to find a few places to serve as our base and turnover place. It would be best if we could buy an empty yard. We all know that a cunning rabbit has three burrows and eggs should not be put in one basket. But there is no rush. I have an empty yard with three entrances near the front door that we can use."

Of the three empty courtyards he bought before, one with two entrances was given to Yu Shui, and the other with two entrances he planned to give to his sister as a dowry. Only this empty courtyard with three entrances was left. It seemed that he would have to go to Master Niu and Master Pian again soon. As for the transfer of ownership, aren't there so many people here ready-made?
