The visit ended and we returned to Wang’s house.

The wind is as cold as a knife, the night is as dark as ink, and the faint stars are twinkling.

Li Qinglin put his hand against the door and gently pushed it out.

Li Qinglin was seen wearing a brand new robe and carrying a package. There were not many things in the package, just a can of lard, two pounds of bacon, and three salted fish.

But it was all that Li Xian could give to Li Qinglin.

Li Qinglin did not like the farewell scene He and Li Xianshi agreed to leave at the end of the Yin hour, but now it was only the Chou hour and Li Qinglin had already quietly stood up.

Feeling the faint warmth coming from the robe, Li Qinglin rubbed his fingers across the smooth surface of the jacket.

He took off his robe and jacket, and even took off the paper quilt he was carrying and placed them on the table in the main room.

Winter is here and the cold is coming.

With the Heart Toad, Li Qinglin, who is about to practice martial arts, is no longer afraid of cold or heat to a certain extent.

Li Qingjing, Li Qingqing and others need it even more.

Li Qinglin walked on the muddy path, occasionally hearing the distant barking of dogs.

There was a bulge under his belt, which was uncomfortable.

There were ten taels of silver inside.

In the past two days, Li Xian was borrowing money everywhere.

Li Qinglin still remembers the scene where Li Xianshi gave him instructions after she came back with the money she borrowed.

"I went to your second aunt, third aunt and uncle's house.

Six years ago, your second aunt's eldest son broke his leg and borrowed five strings of cash from your father. When your father passed away and his funeral was held, he didn't return the money. When I went to her house to collect the debt, your second aunt's face changed and she quickly said she had something to do and was going out.

I turned to your third aunt's house, but she seemed to have received the news in advance. The stove at home was still burning, but she was reluctant to open the door.

I went to your uncle's house again. When he heard that you wanted to learn martial arts, he advised me not to be impulsive and be careful not to waste my money. It would be better to lend him the money for your martial arts training. He has ways to make money and can ensure that the three of us will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of our lives.

I didn’t say anything more and slapped him.”

Li Xianshi's face was full of seriousness.

"On the way home, I happened to meet your father's comrade, the carpenter Tan, who was serving as a pioneer that year. He was the one who carried your father's body back. Without saying a word, he borrowed three taels of silver from me.

Your sister-in-law Gou also borrowed five strings of cash.

Mother has told you all this, not to make you hate your second aunt and your uncle, but to make you remember the kindness of Carpenter Tan and Sister Gou.

A drop of water should be repaid with a spring of gratitude."

A cold current like an icy loach poured into Li Qinglin's neck from behind, bringing his thoughts back to reality.

Li Qinglin took a deep breath and pressed the silver coins tightly, only to feel that they were extremely heavy.

Li Qinglin seldom went out these past two days. Apart from studying elementary education, he even asked his younger brother Li Qingjing for advice.

It is to continue to exercise and absorb the Qi and blood in the heart sac.

In two whole days, he had absorbed five of the remaining six strands of qi and blood, leaving only one strand as a trump card for emergency use.

After all, shantytowns and even outer cities are not good places, and fights often occur.

At the beginning, a strand of qi and blood could increase one kilogram of strength, but as Li Qinglin's strength increased, this growth rate gradually decreased.

But even so,

Now that Li Qinglin has exploded, he has a force of eight jin, which is more than double that of an ordinary adult! And this is not Li Qinglin's upper limit!

As long as he has sufficient energy and blood, coupled with the right martial arts techniques, Li Qinglin couldn't believe how terrifying his strength would be pushed to!

It’s a pity that no fine-scaled fish have appeared on the surface of the Wang family’s well in the past few days.

After being strengthened by the fine-scaled fish, the bell toad's diving limit has reached more than 12 feet, or more than ten feet.

It’s a pity that it still seems a bit shallow and is far from the bottom of the well, so nothing was discovered.

"This time when I return home, I will catch more fresh insects, such as earthworms, waxworms, etc., to increase the transformation speed of the bell toad..."

"The fine-scaled fish... I'm determined to eat it!"

Li Qinglin was thinking as he walked.

It was quiet all around, with only the sound of Li Qinglin's footsteps.

Walk out of the alley and around the corner is the commercial street of the shantytown.

It was pitch dark and the streets were gray.

Li Qinglin suddenly stopped, his expression solemn, his ears trembling slightly.

There seemed to be someone in front? It was freezing cold at this hour. If an ordinary person stayed outdoors for a long time, they would freeze to death! There was no sound of footsteps, no sound of adding charcoal to the stove, and even the breathing was suppressed.

It seems like... he is waiting for someone on purpose.

Li Qinglin vaguely thought of something, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

…

In an alley in the commercial street, in a dark corner, two men were standing against the wall.

Pulling his jacket tighter, one of them poked his head out impatiently to look outside.

The streets were deserted, with not a soul in sight.

"Brother Zhou, is what Ah Xi said reliable? Did that woman really have ten taels of silver and let that servant practice martial arts?"

The man inside was spitting, had a scar at the corner of his eye, and looked a little fierce.

“It should be true.”

Brother Zhou nodded and said, "A Xi is such a traitor. Not only does he cling to the thigh of the head of Huabu Street, but he also comes to lick the ass of our deputy leader of the Luluo Gang!

It’s hard to say anything else, but I’m well-informed about the news.”

Hearing this, the scarred man laughed and said, "That's great! Ten taels of silver is enough for us to have fun several times! I haven't been to the 'Spring Night House' in the outer city for a long time!"

Hearing this, Brother Zhou frowned and warned, "Old Scar! Cheer up and don't let down your guard at the critical moment! Wait until you get the ten taels of silver!"

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

"Hey, Brother Zhou, the monk may run away but he can't escape the temple! It would be best if we can stop that kid in the shantytown. If we can't stop him, then we can go to his house and eat and drink well for a few days! I heard that he has a younger sister? Hehe..."

The scarred man didn't take it seriously and had a lewd smile on his face, but his eyes saw a figure passing by quickly outside the alley.

Brother Zhou also reacted, stretched his head out to take a look, was stunned for a moment, and immediately became furious: "Good boy, you dare to run?!"

"Chase!"

…

"call!"

Li Qinglin took a long breath, and the heart in his chest was beating like thunder.

There are abandoned houses on both sides, the alley is deep and narrow, and at the end is a dilapidated land temple.

Li Qinglin's eyes flickered and he tapped his toes.

Now Li Qinglin's strength and agility have greatly improved. At this moment, he quickly turned over and jumped onto the alley wall that was nearly three meters high.

Then the whole person lay on it, blending into the night, and if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see it at all.

In his right hand, he tightly grasped a brick picked up from the street corner.

"Where's the person? That coward! How could he run so fast?"

"There's a dead end ahead. He can't run away. Keep chasing him!"

Brother Zhou and the scarred man chased into the alley one after another.

After running for several blocks, the scarred man was a little out of breath and fell behind.

He watched Brother Zhou enter the land temple, stop on his legs, and spat.

"Don't let me catch this kid, otherwise..."

The downward gaze casts a vague shadow.

The scarred man heard a cold wind.

He looked up subconsciously.

Then he saw a square shadow tearing through layers of air and instantly filling his entire field of vision.

“Bang!”

The scarred man groaned, his body went limp, and his right hand subconsciously tried to grab Li Qinglin.

Li Qinglin showed a ruthless look on his face. He stretched out his left hand, grabbed the scarred man's wrist first, and hit him with a few more bricks.

The scarred man’s eyes suddenly opened and he stopped moving. He twitched twice and then lay limply on the ground, falling into a sound sleep like a baby.

Seeing the scarred man's appearance, Li Qinglin's fingertips seemed to have clenched into bricks, his cheeks were hot, and his heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his throat.

The blood in my body seemed to boil.

Kill, murder?

However, before Li Qinglin could react too much.

Brother Zhou in the land temple discovered the movement here.

"Zheng~"

The sound of metal leaving the sheath was heard.

Brother Zhou crouched down, the dagger in his hand flashing coldly in the dark moonlight, sharp and incisive.

Brother Zhou widened his eyes and looked towards the alley entrance.

Li Qinglin stood there silently, sticky blood dripping from the edge of the brick.

The two people's eyes collided in the air!
