I live in Dayu Changsheng

Chapter 28, Prestige

Under the dome of endless darkness, the crescent moon is dim, and the sky is full of stars, shining brightly like endless sparks.

In Fang's house, the flames on the lamp danced and flickered, covering the three people gathered around the table.

"...The thief was caught...and committed a murder. I heard that a family of five, old and weak, women and children, all survived..."

Fang Rui told Xue Shi and Fang Ling about the news he heard from Jiang Ping'an.

"This is really..."

Apart from sighing, Fang Xue was also very grateful.

Fang Ling is now a little sensible, and asked in a childish voice: "Brother, if my mother and I don't hide in the cellar, will we die too?"

The word 'death' was uttered from the mouth of a five-year-old child, but there was an indescribable heaviness and bitterness.

The corners of Fang Rui's eyes twitched, he fell silent for a while, smiled and patted Fang Ling's head: "No, there is no such assumption."

At this time, he had time to untie his bag, and in order to dilute the heavy atmosphere, he took out soybeans and bacon from it.

"Wow, soybeans and meat!" Fang Ling exclaimed.

"Brother, is our family going to eat meat again?" Under the light of dusk, her big eyes were shining brightly.

"This little girl has no heart and no lungs. She was just saying 'death' just now, but now she wants to eat meat!" 'Fang Rui was amused.

"What to eat? This is bacon, it can be stored!" Fang Xue knocked Xia Ling on the head.

"Yes, keep it."

Fang Rui thought for a while, and said, "In this world, the future...may be even worse. Our family has almost enough grains...We need to stock up on other in-demand goods..."

He wasn't going to say it at first, but with today's incident... It would be good to remind Fang Xueshi and Fang Ling.

of course.

Fang Rui wasn't going to tell the whole story to make Fang Xueshi and Fang Ling worry for nothing, but just raised his mouth to let them have an impression that they can be more cautious in their actions.

……

After washing, each sleeps peacefully.

Fang Ling is used to sleeping with Fang Rui now because: Fang Rui is easy to talk, won't be aggressive with her, and can tell interesting stories.

Fang Rui went to the black market tonight, and Fang Ling went to bed late; also, the thief was shocked at night, and his mind fluctuated a lot. Fang Rui was telling stories, and the little girl fell asleep after a while.

Fang Rui was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

He closed his eyes, summoned the panel, and found that the robbery point had climbed to nearly [-] points.

"I'm afraid, what happened today has a lot to do with it..." Fang Rui thought to himself.

Recently, the accumulation of robbery points has suddenly accelerated a lot.

Surprisingly, Fang Rui wasn't overjoyed, but thought of something more: "Being like nothing, living in this great world, isn't it a kind of doom... The reflection of the doom point is just the epitome of troubled times. "

"The acceleration of the accumulation of calamity points means: Is this catastrophe of the common people getting more and more violent?"

"The situation is surging, and the people are like flies. If a wave spreads, the family will be ruined. In this world, tranquility and peace, such things, have become a rare luxury..."

Regardless of the neighbors in Liushu Hutong, they are suffering a little bit, but they can still live in peace.But in fact, this kind of stability is like a castle built of sand, under the wind and waves, it will collapse at the touch of a touch.

Fang Rui's painstaking preparations are at most equivalent to a sampan, which can barely make a couple of splashes. If he wants to ride the wind and waves in this troubled world, he is still far behind.

"Power, power!"

Fang Rui's eyes were deep, and he sighed inwardly as he looked out the window at the starry sky.

……

The next day, in the morning.

Fang Rui carried two catties of stick noodles and five servings of "Scar Removal Cream" to Jiang Ping'an's house in Tianshuijing Hutong.

It's okay to say stick noodles, Jiang's sister-in-law was overjoyed when she saw the 'Scar Removal Cream', she almost didn't kiss Fang Rui on the spot, she was so enthusiastic.

at lunch.

As usual, Jiang Ping'an and Fang Rui were drinking outside, while Jiang's sister-in-law took the children to eat in the back room.

Lunch: stick noodle porridge, stick noodle steamed buns—this was specially prepared in advance knowing that Fang Rui was coming, but it was nothing.

But as an appetizer, in addition to a plate of dried tofu and fennel beans, there is actually a big bowl of roast chicken!

"Sister-in-law, this is... roast chicken?! That's too polite!" Fang Rui was flattered.

In this world, in this year, ordinary people may not be able to eat meat during Chinese New Year, let alone entertain guests.

Moreover, when he looked at the big bowl of shredded roast chicken, there were actually three chicken legs in it, obviously not the weight of one chicken.

"Hey, it's because of Xiao Fang's favor. That's it, my old sisters and I..." Sister Jiang explained.

Fang Rui understood.

Probably: Jiang's sister-in-law promised the 'skin beauty ointment', and a group of her old sisters were embarrassed to take it for nothing... This was an exchange.

In this way, he is really in his favor... Jiang's sister-in-law borrowed flowers to present Buddha, and at the same time, she also wanted Fang Rui to buy more 'skin cream'... No, it was 'scar removal cream'.

'It seems that no matter what era it is, as long as there are conditions, women are extremely concerned about their appearance! '

Fang Rui thought to himself, after thinking about it like this, he wanted to change the name of 'Scar Removing Cream' to 'Skin Beauty Cream'.

Sister-in-law Jiang's cooking skills are good, the roast chicken is delicious, and the wine is half of the old rice wine that Fang Rui brought last time.

Roast chicken is wine, the more you drink, the more delicious you are.

Fang Rui and Jiang Ping'an drank and chatted, and the more they drank, the deeper their relationship became.

It wasn't until the sun turned from drinking that Jiang Ping'an was already drunk, and Fang Rui was really a little tipsy. The drink was just over, and he said goodbye and got up to leave.

before leaving.

Sister-in-law Jiang couldn't be more enthusiastic, so she packed some chicken racks and stuffed them for Fang Rui, asking him to take them: "Take it home and give it to auntie and sister to taste, I didn't pick the meat from the chicken bones too clean, it can be eaten as a snack. Taste it..."

"Hey, sister-in-law..."

Fang Rui declined, but still accepted.

Just when he was secretly proud of the charm of his appearance——

"Well, Xiao Fang, it's still about the 'skin beauty cream', can you get some more..." Jiang's sister-in-law coyly expressed her intention.

"Cough! Cough! Don't worry, sister-in-law!"

Fang Rui's brows twitched when his narcissism was punctured, he was full of coping, and slipped away in embarrassment.

……

In the afternoon, amidst the din of cicadas and worms, Fang Rui walked back to Liushu Alley under the warm sun.

At this time.

The third lady, Mrs. Fang Xue, are sitting in the yard, sewing and mending, gossiping about things in the alley from time to time.

Nannan, Fang Ling, two little girls sat on one side, turning the flower rope.

They are of the same age and live close together, so they would play together, especially recently.

Because: in Liushu Hutong, the children of other families are basically half-starved, they have lost their vigor and can't play anymore.

"Brother, I want to hear a story!"

"Brother A Rui, what are you holding?"

Two little girls rushed over and surrounded Fang Rui.

"Chicken skeleton, brought back in a package, you guys can eat it as a snack! Is there a story? There is also!"

Fang Rui was slightly drowsy, but he didn't feel sleepy. Taking advantage of the excitement, he lay down on the wicker chair, squinted his eyes and told the story.

Next to them, Fang Ling and Nannan were sitting side by side on a small bench, sipping chicken skeletons with great care while listening to stories, feeling very comfortable.

Under the big warm sun, the warm wind blows, making the grass and trees rustle.

At some point, the third lady looked over and saw Fang Rui surrounded by two little girls, she was startled for a moment, her brows and eyes were soft, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

……

In the evening, Master Hu came with two servants to collect the ten-day money.

After Fang Rui revealed his identity as a high-grade martial artist, Lord Tiger was all smiles when meeting him. Fang Rui's address had changed from 'A Rui' to the closer 'Brother Rui', which was much more polite.

After paying the monthly fee and sending Master Tiger away, the smile on Fang Rui's face disappeared, and he secretly made a note of this dead tiger in his heart.

"Now, I also have a weapon. With a machete in my hand, I go to Lord Tiger's house to liquidate. I'm more than [-]% sure that I can kill this dead tiger without injury..."

Fang Rui hesitated for a moment, but still gave up: "Forget it, it's only [-]%, not [-]%! Wait, wait!"

"Let's wait for the original plan to break through to the third grade! It's coming soon, it won't be long!"

Master Hu is different from Zhou Chu, Zhou Changlin, and Gao Tong. The other party is in the light and he is in the dark. There is no need for such an emergency, so there is no need to be so anxious.

Not long after.

Outside the door, another family broke down, and the sound of crying came.

Fang Rui didn't go out to join in the fun, but just watched through the window, watching the neighbors watching, pointing, or sympathizing with pity; or hurting others; or gloating...

It's like another cycle.

Watching all this, he subconsciously thought of the old Chu's family. The cries in his ears overlapped with the hoarse scream of the old Chu's head, "baby, mother, bracelet" in his mind, and he didn't speak for a long time.

……

Three days passed by in a hurry, but nothing major happened in Liushu Alley.

That night, after the Fang family had dinner, a long time passed. Fang Rui took a look at the sky, and when it was almost time, he prepared to set off and let Fang Xueshi and Fang Ling enter the cellar.

Although Jiang Ping'an had been told in advance that the other party had promised to stay here tonight, Fang Xueshi and Fang Ling were still allowed to enter the cellar, which was a double insurance.

Go out.

Fang Rui saw a few patrolling figures from a distance, nodded to Jiang Pingan who was in the lead, turned around, and went straight to the black market.

——Yes, in order to deal with the chaos in the city and suppress lawlessness, the government has expanded its recruitment of yamen servants, and Jiang Ping'an has also been promoted to a small boss, and he is considered number one in the eyes of ordinary people.

Relying on the extraordinary ear power of a seventh-rank martial artist, he could still vaguely hear the voice behind.

"Jiangtou, there is a Taoist figure over there! I think it's either a thief or someone who went to the black market. We can make another fortune!"

"Send it to your uncle? That's my brother!"

"Bah bah, look at my mouth! Well, Jiangtou, did someone go by just now? Why didn't I see anything..."

……

black market.

According to the rules, today is the day when Fang Rui comes to sell the medicine.

At the entrance of the black market, vendors in several stalls were chatting together.

"If nothing happened, the drug seller should have come today... It's a pity..."

"Yeah, that person is also unlucky, and he was targeted by Zhou Changlin and Gao Tong!"

"I heard that 'Scar Removing Cream' is very popular recently...Zhou Changlin, Qualcomm and a group of murderous people forced out the formula, but they made a lot of money!"

……

They obviously didn't think that Fang Rui could come today.

As for the news that Zhou Changlin and Gao Tong are all dead?
Back then, the place where the battle took place was far away from the black market... Besides, their news was not that well informed.

The entrance to the black market.

"Fast Swordsman" Yuan Da squinted his eyes as always, leaning on the rattan chair, wiping his horizontal knife, and people who came and went to and from the black market all called "Yuan Ye" and respectfully lowered the entry fee.

Only occasionally when he came across a rental booth or a shop, he would make a move and throw out a number plate casually, with a lazy look, as if he was indifferent to everything.

until--

Fang Rui arrived.

Seeing this familiar figure and familiar attire, the vendors at the entrance of the black market all fell silent and their eyes widened, as if they had seen a ghost.

"Master Yuan, this is today's entry fee and booth fee!" Fang Rui took out three big coins.

Yuan Da's eyes were miraculous—that was...surprise.

He sat up straighter, unlike before, he threw the wooden sign casually, but this time, he stretched out his hand and handed it over.

——With the background of the black market, it is natural to know that Zhou Changlin and Gao Tong are dead, but Yuan Da only likes to practice martial arts and doesn't pay much attention to the outside world, so he didn't know in advance.

"Thank you, Master Yuan." Fang Rui clearly felt Yuan Da's respect, respect for the strong.

"I fought back against Zhou Changlin and Qualcomm. Has my strength been recognized by this person?"Sure enough, in this world, fists are supreme! ' he thought to himself.

but.

Fang Rui wouldn't think that: Yuan Da was afraid of him, or that he felt how capable he was and started to drift away.

Far from it!

He understands: Yuan Daneng sits in the black market, and the guarantee is also at the eighth rank, and the higher probability is the same as his seventh rank, and, looking at the horizontal knife, he knows: the other party probably knows a superb sword technique, and he... has a high probability of being a swordsman. But the opponent's.

As for the third grade?
On the contrary, it is unlikely.

In Changshan County, middle-rank warriors can be regarded as one-footed into the top ranks, and only the leaders of gangs in the county and wealthy families have them.

The black market is backed by rich families in the city, and there are naturally some middle-rank warriors, but they are still rare, and each one is a treasure, so it is impossible to put them here.

Fang Rui took the number plate and went straight into the black market to find a location.

It wasn't until his back disappeared that there were noisy discussions behind him.

"That person actually came! This is really...unbelievable..."

"Since this person is here, Zhou Changlin and Gao Tong's murderous gang are probably killed... Also, I really haven't seen them these two days..."

"Young people are awesome! Zhou Changlin, Gao Tong and his group of murderous people also walked too much at night, and they ran into a ghost!"

"Being able to kill Zhou Changlin and Gao Tong's group of murderers is at least the strength of the eighth rank...From now on, no one will dare to covet that man's business!"

……

"Something interesting!"

Yuan Da watched Fang Rui's back, muttered something, then regained his laziness, lay back on the wicker chair, squinted his eyes and wiped the horizontal knife.
