Chapter 134: Twenty feet per step

In Wuyang County, the Qinghe Gang, which has always oppressed the people, actually opened a warehouse to release grain. The food distributed to the people was actually good food, not old food such as old sesame seeds and rotten millet.

This incident spread quickly in Wuyang County.

After the earthquake, there were continuous heavy rains. A considerable number of people's houses were destroyed, their food was gone, and their fields were destroyed. This small amount of food was life-saving food for many people.

However, no one went to receive food at the beginning, because the Qinghe Gang had a bad reputation in Wuyang County over the years. Many people felt that there was a conspiracy, and maybe they would have to use other things to pay for the food they received. Accounts, such as the property at home, his wife and daughter.

The disciple in charge of distributing food from the Qinghe Gang was also a little puzzled.

"How come no one comes to claim this free food?"

"You are stupid. Wouldn't it be better if no one takes it?"

"Look at the hall master's face. If no one comes to pick him up, I guess he will have to curse?"

"How about we get some first and get started!"

"Hey, your idea is really true."

Finally, someone came to collect the food.

"Does this food cost money?" the man asked tentatively.

"No, just register your address and name."

"You still have to register your name, so I won't accept it." The man waved his hand hurriedly.

"If you register your address and name, you can ask for it at home in the future. If you receive a bucket of rice today, you may have to pay back ten shi of rice next time!"

The man left in a hurry.

"Hey, don't leave!" The disciple said hurriedly. It was not easy to get food.

"No, no, I won't take it anymore." The man ran away.

"You think this person is stupid? He just gave a fake name and a fake address. Can we find out?"

"I am loyal and honest, but how can I be so mean-spirited as you?"

"What does loyalty and honesty matter? Those who are bullied are the ones who are loyal and honest!" the disciple said disdainfully.

Wang Shen watched the Qinghe Gang open a warehouse in a corner not far away. No one went to take it, but there were many people gathered not far away, old and young. They were all in ragged clothes and had sallow complexions.

"Oh, this is really true."

At this time, the magistrate of Wuyang County, Fang Kuai, and a young man came here with several servants.

"What's going on? Why is no one receiving food?" Fang Kuai looked at the scene in front of him.

"Humph!" The young man snorted coldly and turned to look at Fang Kuai, who suddenly broke out in cold sweat.

"The official did not deceive your lord. Hong Taoliu did agree to open a warehouse to release grain."

"Then why is no one going to get food?"

"I'm going to ask you now." The county magistrate hurriedly came to the crowd.

"Fellows, the Qinghe Gang will open a warehouse to release grain today. You can safely receive the grain without any worries."

Fang Kuai shouted loudly from the front, and the hungry and thin people underground also talked in low voices.

"How about we go get food?"

"Wait and see, this dog officer is with the Qinghe Gang."

Wang Shen just waited quietly. Finally, someone in the crowd came forward to get the food. There was no other way. He didn't want to eat, and his children also needed to eat.

If one person takes the lead, there will be a second one, and a third one. People will go to receive food one after another.

"Master Fang, the Qinghe Gang will not cause trouble for these people afterwards, especially the first few people who received the food." The young man turned his head and looked at Fang Kuai.

"Sir, I won't, absolutely not, I'm willing to guarantee it!"

"Do you believe what you say?"

"Give me a copy of the list of those who received the food later. I have already memorized the faces of the first few people to receive the food. I will go back to visit them later."

"Hey, I'll remember it," Fang Kuai said hurriedly.

Wang Shen looked at the people receiving food and breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what happens in the future, at least I can survive for now.

On a wooden building not far away, Hong Taoliu, with a bruised nose and swollen face, looked at the people receiving food not far away with a gloomy face.

"Gang leader, just let them receive food like this. This is our Qinghe Gang's thing! It has always been the Qinghe Gang's and other people's. How could these idiots take our things?"

"I will pay them back ten times in the future." Hong Taoliu said coldly.

"But they may not use their real names when receiving food?"

"I don't need a real name, just give it to everyone in Wuyang County." Hong Taoliu said coldly.

The man next to him secretly smacked his lips after hearing this, "This gang leader is really ruthless!"

In the attic, behind Hong Taoliu, there was someone standing and heard the conversation between the two of them.

"Some people really don't know how to live or die."

The Qinghe Gang opened a warehouse to store grain for one day, but stopped the next day. That day, one of Hong Taoliu's arms was broken, and he could hardly stand up. The Qinghe Gang once again opened a warehouse to release grain.

A carriage quietly left Wuyang County, with a pale-faced Hong Taoliu sitting in the carriage. One of his arms was still hanging, but he was like a frightened quail, trembling.

The carriage suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" he asked hurriedly.

"Gang leader, there is someone blocking the way ahead."

Hong Taoliu opened the car curtain and saw the masked man blocking the way out of the city. He was so frightened that he sat on the ground.

"This" "Go back!" Wang Shen just said one word, and Hong Taoliu went back obediently.

After returning to his residence, his whole heart was filled with despair.

Yesterday, he was fine at home and was about to chat with the concubine he had married not long ago. Suddenly, the masked man entered the house and crushed his right arm.

It hurt so much that he screamed like a slaughtered pig for a long time.

He remembered clearly what the other party said.

"You want the people of Wuyang County to return those grains very much, will you try?"

He realized at that time that what he said yesterday was known to the other party.

"It's over, I'm going to die here!"

"Gang leader, you can give some letters to your uncle!" the man on the side said softly.

"Yes, yes, write him a letter!" Hong Taoliu's eyes lit up.

In the three days before and after, the Qinghe Gang was opening warehouses to stock up on food. Wang Shen did not pay attention to what happened next because he still had his own things to do.

People can only rely on others for a while, but they can only rely on themselves for a lifetime.

He has to practice and move forward.

In the mountain forest, he kept going back and forth carrying thousands of kilograms of stones, getting closer and closer to the twenty-foot distance.

On this day, he left the hut where he was temporarily staying, rode a rogue horse, and rushed to Ninglong Mansion. He was going to see if he could receive a letter from Dong Wenbo.

When he arrived at the broken house, he found that there was actually a letter under the bluestone, which made him very happy.

He hurriedly opened the letter, but the content inside made him a little disappointed.

Dong Wenbo said that he had been inquiring about Shen Jingsheng, but he had not inquired about it, so he told him not to worry, he would continue to inquire.

"Fortunately, since Dong Wenbo is inquiring about information, it's not without gain." Wang Shen thought.

He did not go to Ninglong Mansion but returned to his residence, and then began his life of asceticism.

Day after day, month after month.

Unknowingly, summer passed and autumn arrived. The wind became cooler and turned the trees in the mountains yellow.

Wang Shen faced another difficult problem. As he continued to practice, he found that the Qi in his body was increasing at a faster rate. The more he tried to consume it, the faster the Qi increased.

"This is really a bit troublesome. If you can't enter the third level, you can only continue to consume it like this. If it rises, it will disappear, but if it disappears, it will rise again."

Wang Shen has been working hard to enter the third level.

When it snowed for the first time in winter, he successfully carried a thousand kilograms of stones across a distance of twenty feet in one breath. If he put down the stones, the distance would naturally be further.

After a few days of stabilization, he did not continue to adjust the distance and still set it at twenty feet. This time he had to carry a thousand kilograms of stone and cross twenty feet in one step.

In winter, the black snake also went to hibernate in the mountains, and he was the only one left. During this period, he went to Ninglong Mansion again, but did not see Dong Wenbo's letter again.

"I don't know where the old man went. Why don't you come back and take a look after so long?"

On the way back from Ninglong Mansion, Wang Shen was stopped when he was about to reach the boundary of Wuyang. The person blocking the way was a monk.

"This donor, this young monk has not eaten for several days. Can you please give me some food?"

On a cold day, the monk was only wearing a thin monk's robe with several holes in it. He looked a little miserable, but his eyes were still very bright.

Wang Shen took out the dry food he carried with him and handed it to the monk.

"Thank you, donor." The monk picked up the pancake and wolfed it down. He looked very hungry.

"There are villages and towns not far over there, why don't you go and beg for alms?"

"I think the people there are more miserable than the young monk. How can the young monk have the nerve to go to them for alms." The monk said.

Wang Shen smiled after hearing this, and then headed towards Wuyang County.

Unexpectedly, more than ten days later, when he went to town, he met the monk again. The monk was being dragged by his clothes and scolded by a lady with a waist as thick as a bucket.

"You are a monk and a monk, and you steal things. How shameless are you?"

"The young monk didn't steal this female donor, he picked it up."

"You picked it up, you are a liar. I lost more than ten taels of silver in my house a few days ago. Did you steal it too?"

"Female donor, don't talk nonsense."

The woman cursed loudly after hearing this. Wang Shen watched with interest.

Suddenly the woman's cursing stopped. Her big mouth was still opening and closing, but no sound came out.

Soon, a look of horror appeared on the woman's face. She touched her throat and then her mouth in panic.

"This monk is really not ordinary." Wang Shen had already noticed that this monk was unusual. After all, he was wearing a single coat on such a cold day and his eyes were so bright.

He saw clearly just now that the monk tapped the woman's throat at a very fast speed. It must have been a certain acupuncture point that caused the woman to be unable to make any sound.

"Amitabha, disaster comes from the mouth. If the donor speaks less, he will be doing himself some good deeds."

The monk broke free from the woman's hand and left quickly.

"This monk is interesting."

On this day, Wang Shen was meditating by the river when he suddenly saw something floating on the Qinghe River in the distance. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a corpse.

After a while, he saw a figure moving quickly along the Qinghe River. Neither the lush forest nor the messy rocks could stop him.

After the man got close to the body, he suddenly jumped up like an eagle spreading its wings. When he reached the river, he grabbed the body and with a slight tap on the water, the man flew back to the bank.

"Monk, you haven't left yet?!" Wang Shen saw clearly the appearance of the man, and it turned out to be the same monk he met a few days ago.
