Settled in Qixia Town, started with Qingwen

Chapter 18 Fake Cheats

"In Qixia Town, there is no master who can make bows, right?"

Li Xin asked again.

"No."

Bai Zhantang didn't say any more this time.

Anyway, he also knew that this brother was not short of money.

"Then I'll buy it."

Li Xin was very decisive.

There are no bow makers nearby, which means that you can't buy new ones, so you have to buy old ones.

He took out a money bag from his pocket, picked out two pieces of broken silver, and put them on the cloth spread out in the booth.

The stall owner picked up the silver and weighed it a few times, and said: "There are too many, I will send you some arrows."

He grabbed a handful of arrows from the quiver beside him, about seventeen or eight arrows, and they were all old, but not defective.

"Well, I'll give you another tael of silver, and you can give me the whole bag."

This is a relatively large quiver, and Li Xin visually contains more than [-] arrows.

The stall owner agreed, and the deal was done.

So for the rest of the day, Li Xin walked around with a bow and quiver on his back.

"Hey! You are still in a hurry to buy. Maybe there will be better ones later? Like when I buy vegetables, I always shop around."

Li Dazui felt sorry for Li Xin, and felt that he bought it too quickly and lost money.

Li Xin smiled and said nothing.

If you don't buy a good bow now, it will be too late if someone buys it later.

Anyway, it's only five taels of silver.

It's expensive to put it outside, but it's a black market, and it's a very conscientious price.

His 1 taels seem to be getting less and less as he uses them. In fact, there are a lot of glass beads in the grocery store, so he doesn't feel bad at all.

If you really see a better bow in the future, you can buy it again.

Of course, he doesn't care if it's only slightly better than the current one, and the difference is not that big.

The three of them continued to stroll around for a long time, and the sky gradually darkened.

Those who set up stalls closed their stalls one after another, while those who visited the black market left long ago.

Around the edge of the black market, people began to set up torches one by one and fixed them on the ground.

The lighting was solved, and the three of them finally made a discovery.

It was a boxing book.

"Snake fist?"

Bai Zhantang knelt down and wanted to turn the page, but the stall owner in his thirties held down the manual.

"Why, don't let me see?"

Bai Zhantang Road.

"Only the first page."

Stall Road.

"I understand the rules, don't be so nervous."

Bai Zhantang laughed.

The other party glanced at Li Xin and Li Dazui behind him, and withdrew his hand.

Only then did Bai Zhantang open the boxing score, and after reading it carefully, he showed a thoughtful look, and pinched the overall thickness of the boxing score with two fingers.

Then stand up.

"Let's go, keep shopping."

he said.

"What, what's going on?"

Li Dazui didn't know why.

"Don't worry, talk as you walk."

Bai Zhantang left first with a smile.

Li Xin and Li Xin naturally followed.

"That boxing book is fake."

After walking a few steps, Bai Zhantang said in a low voice without asking too much.

"fake!?"

Li Dazui almost didn't cry out, but luckily it wasn't a big shock, so he still kept the volume down.

"Snake-shaped boxing is an ordinary third-rate boxing technique, and I know a lot about it. If it can add up to more than a thousand characters, I will write the name upside down, but the one just now... Hehe!"

Bai Zhantang paused when he said that, and chuckled twice.

"Too thick?"

Li Xin.

"That's right, it's too thick, so it must be a fake boxing book!"

Bai Zhantang gave a childish look.

"In the black market, the easiest thing to be fooled is books, besides drugs."

"And you want to buy a fake one without knowing it, go back and practice it, waste three to five years, and practice a set of bad fake punches. If you learn the truth again, won't you die of shame and indignation?"

"This kind of example is not unheard of."

After finishing speaking, Bai Zhantang sighed slightly.

It seems that there are really such people who have been cheated to death.

"Then how about exposing it face to face after buying it?"

Li Xin asked another question.

"It is indeed possible to do this. Buy it and check the whole book. If it is true, everyone will be happy."

"If it's fake, we have to ask the managers of the black market to come out for a fair appraisal, but that's too troublesome, and it won't get you any benefit. Instead, it will offend people. It's better to have less than one more thing."

Bai Zhantang had already looked away.

Li Xin nodded secretly.

Black market organizers will not care about selling counterfeit goods as long as they are not caught on the spot.

And even if it can be seen through, although the seller will be greatly punished, the buyer will basically have no benefit.

And be hated by the former.

He thought to himself, no wonder Bai Zhantang wanted to talk in a low voice after leaving the booth just now, all in order to avoid making enemies as much as possible.

His fame as a snitch is not all because of his good martial arts, but also because he doesn't make enemies everywhere, so he can live a life without worry.

"Hey, I finally got a boxing book, but it's a fake one..."

Li Dazui was very unwilling.

He came out with all his wealth, and he would gamble on what he said today, whether he could buy martial arts cheats.

"Why are you in a hurry, can't you go shopping anymore, this is just the beginning."

Bai Zhantang pouted.

Keep going.

Not long after, a small stall appeared in front of them, selling pancakes.

Business is still very good.

It was indeed time for dinner this day.

Many poor families eat one meal in the afternoon but not in the evening.

Those who can visit the black market here are obviously not poor.

At least a pancake at night is affordable.

Goo-!
Looking at the people passing by, some of them bought pancakes and gnawed them. Li Dazui couldn't hold back, and his stomach made noises.

"There's a bun seller over there. What do you want to eat? I'll treat you."

Li Xin looked in the other direction, and saw white steam rising over there, it was steamed buns.

"Just, just pancakes."

Li Dazui couldn't bear to go to the steamed stuffed bun stall anymore, so he said immediately with a little embarrassment.

All his money was used to buy martial arts cheats, and Li Xin's treat was just right for him.

So the three bought pancakes to eat.

Going forward, after a certain distance, I found another booth selling cheat books.

The stalls mainly sell plasters, and there is only one booklet.

The cover reads: "Seven Absolute Swordsmanship".

When Li Xin read these four words softly, Li Dazui's eyes lit up next to him.

He thinks the name of this sword technique is too domineering, it suits him!
After buying it and practicing it, it is a perfect match with Yang Huilan's sword and sword.

Images of you, me, and concubines flashed in my mind instantly. Li Dazui swallowed his saliva and was about to ask the price.

But Bai Zhantang walked to the next booth in silence.

"Old Bai, don't go."

Li Dazui tried to call him back.

After all, it depends on him to verify the authenticity of the sword manual.

"Stop shouting, hurry up and follow."

Li Xin patted him on the shoulder and walked along.

"This……"

Li Dazui was very tangled.

"You can look at whatever you want to buy."

The stall owner smiled and said gently.

In fact, it is to look at the expression of a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

"I, I won't buy it."

Li Dazui was helpless, it was useless for him to buy it alone, so he had to keep up with Bai Zhantang and Li Xin.

After Bai Zhantang's education, he realized that it was another scam.

It is much more fake than the "Snake Fist" boxing manual.

Only stupid people would be fooled.

"Old Bai, what do you mean? Are you calling me stupid?"

Li Dazui was still unconvinced: "Every line is like a mountain, it's normal if I don't understand."

"If you are not stupid, who is stupid? Why isn't Brother Li being fooled? He doesn't hesitate to call you."

Sure enough, after saying this, Bai Zhantang stopped talking.

The three of them fell silent for a while, focusing on browsing the booth.

As the night darkened, I saw several martial arts cheats.

Too bad it's either defective or fake.

"Let's go back."

Not finished shopping yet, Li Xin said.
