Chapter 14 Night Flying Knife
Liuyang Town.

in the study.

"Jiuji! Did you practice flying knife in the yard all day yesterday?" Father Zhang Xiaojing asked solemnly.

"Xiaocui said it?" Jiuji asked with a frown.

"For my father to manage the family's accounts, I have to go through every expenditure in the family. Yesterday you spent two taels of silver to buy twenty throwing knives, and then locked yourself in the yard for a day. How can you be a father?" Can't figure it out?"

"I just want one more means of self-defense." Jiuji replied.

"You can spend some money to go to Linjiang City Martial Arts Hall and learn some martial arts." Zhang Xiaojing said.

"A martial arts school is not a martial arts school. It doesn't teach internal kung fu, and without internal energy to cooperate with those boxing kung fu, it's just a show."

"How do you know it's a show?" Zhang Xiaojing asked.

"I was told by my inmates that I was imprisoned in the Linjiang City Government Prison for two days. There were many martial artists imprisoned in the prison. I heard them talking about it. I knew that if you don't practice inner breath, there is really no need to practice any kung fu. No matter how good you practice kung fu It’s better to have a strong bow and crossbow. Many of them were good players who were sprinkled with lime powder by the opponent’s gang, and then they rushed up and knocked down on the spot.” Jiu Ji said with a smile on his face.

"Then you won't be able to become a master if you practice flying knives all your life. How about this? I'll go out and ask you if there are any martial artists who are willing to teach you the inner family skills. But after my father leaves, Zhang's accounts have to be handed over. Here you go, can you do it?"

"let me try."

The accounts of the Zhang family are actually very simple.

There are two lines of income and expenditure.

The income is naturally the land rent in the countryside, and the rent is collected every six months. The half-year rent per mu of good land is 80 taels. The family has 750 mu of good land, and the annual rent for good land is 120 taels of silver.

The expenditure is the money of the warrior Lu Tao, the servant Sun Xiaotong, the maid Xiaocui, and the kitchen lady Wu, as well as various household expenses. The total monthly expenditure is about four taels of silver, and the annual expenditure does not exceed 50 taels of silver.

Excluding the annual taxes paid, the family’s net income from rent collection alone is at least 50 taels of silver.

The Zhang family is frugal, and now the family bank has deposited more than 230 taels of silver.

Of course, the most valuable property of the Zhang family is not the silver at all, but the 750 mu of fertile land, which can almost be regarded as a priceless treasure. No matter how high the price is, no one is willing to sell it.

It is too difficult for ordinary people to buy fertile land. Generally, only families of martial artists are eligible to buy fertile land from the trading market.

As a mortal, my father can occupy more than 700 acres of fertile land. This must be because he has been an intellectual in the provincial capital for many years and has his own unique channels, which is why he was able to buy so many fertile land.

Another thing that makes Jiu Ji interesting is that Lu Tao's income is really low.

Lu Tao, a martial artist, pays [-] Wen a month, while the other three receive [-] Wen.

As a martial artist, Lu Tao only received one hundred Wen more than Xiao Cui every month, but he still did it so willingly.

This not only shows that Wufu's status is really low, but also fully shows that Wufu really can't fight.

Wu Fu Lu Tao's force value is only worth five hundred coins per month.

Martial arts do not practice internal martial arts, at best they are just strong mortals, and it is not bad to be able to fight two against one.

After his father, Zhang Xiaojing, explained some of the accounts and handed over the keys to the family bank to Jiuji, he left Liuyang Town with all his money and went to Liuxiang City.

Liuxiang City is the provincial capital of Liuxiang Prefecture, much larger than Linjiang City, Zhang Xiaojing has worked as a writer in Liuxiang City for decades, and still knows a few friends, for his son to be able to practice internal martial arts, in the future To become a martial artist, Zhang Xiaojing had no choice but to go there personally to ask his friends if they could think of anything.

After sending off my father...

Jiuji took Sun Xiaotong to the street of Liuyang Town again.

The purpose of shopping is to feed Gu.

The mind's eyes are intoxicated and lie.

Jiuji can't stay at home and practice throwing knives every day, he has to go out for a walk, talk to someone, and tell a little lie, so as not to let the mind-eye Gu starve to death.

Xiaorong Street.

With a blind stick, Jiuji led Sun Xiaotong wandering casually in the street...

Go to this store for a while, and go to that store for a while.

Since Jiuji suffered from an eye disease three years ago, she has a low self-esteem and rarely leaves Zhang's residence.

Although the people on Xiaorong Street had heard that Zhang Yuan's family had an only son who was blind, they had never seen Zhang Jiuji.

In order to feed the Mind-Eye Gu, Jiu Ji seemed to be quite talkative, although the lies that came out of his mouth were all nonsense, but in general he was still kind and nice.

at the same time.

pan mansion.

Although there is no decoration outside the Pan Mansion, the small courtyard of the Pan Mansion is covered with white cloth.

Some business contacts came to offer incense one after another to express their condolences.

Mrs. Pan's Fourth House thanked the guests...

The funeral will be held three days later.

Pan Changyun lay down in a coffin and was buried in the soil.

Although it is not a grand burial, it can be regarded as a beginning and an end of life.

As for Han Yu'er's body, it was thrown on the mass grave, and even though snakes, rats and ants gnawed it to pieces, the Zhang family didn't bother to care about her at all.

On the contrary, the maid Xiaocui, Gu Nian, had a deep affection for the sisters, so she burned incense and paper at the mass grave.

During these three days, Jiuji went shopping for an hour in the morning every day, practiced the technique of throwing knives in the rest of the time, and studied Gu poison on Xiaocui after taking a bath at night...

After three days of practice, standing ten steps away and throwing the throwing knives, each knife can hit a wooden board as wide as the door, but if you want to hit a target the size of an apple, it is not possible to achieve it in two or three days. .

When night comes...

Jiuji still practiced his saber without rolling it.

Under the dark night, the throwing knives thrown by Jiuji have no difference from the hit rate during the day.

Jiuji observes the world with the mind-eye Gu. In the vision of the mind-eye Gu, the world has no color but outlines, whether it is day or night, there are only outlines.

This means that Jiuji's throwing knife is not affected by night and day at all.

This is the second powerful boost provided by Mind Eye Gu to Jiu Ji, and it may even be more useful than Mind Eye Gu poison in battle.

in the dark...

Jiuji, who was wearing a night suit, threw the throwing knife, and the hit rate did not decrease at all, but the opponent couldn't see the trajectory of the throwing knife at all, so naturally he couldn't defend.

The throwing knives thrown by Jiuji don't need to be fast or accurate, as long as the opponent can't defend, it is equivalent to a one-shot lore.

Thinking of this, Jiuji's enthusiasm for practicing swords became a little stronger.

This world respects martial arts, and one must have a means to settle down as soon as possible, otherwise sooner or later, life and death will be beyond one's control.

pan mansion.

Wearing a plain white robe, Pan Yueqin quietly listened to the reports of the two warriors beside her.

"You said that blind man is not really blind when he is shopping outside?" Pan Yueqin said with narrowed eyes.

"That's true. Although Jiuji has his eyes closed and is wearing a blind stick, he can walk more agilely than ordinary people." Wufu Guo Chuan said.

"My husband can't just die without knowing why! Tomorrow morning, you two will go with my wife to teach that blind man a lesson."

The two warriors only felt that this woman was too arrogant and unreasonable, and they immediately looked at each other, regretting that they had talked too much with this woman.

"Ma'am, this..."

"Each person will reward two taels of silver."

"Ma'am, don't worry, we will definitely teach that blind man a lesson!" Wu Fu Guo Chuan and Wang Wu said excitedly at the same time.
