Several people surrounded him directly, without any nonsense, they just punched Lin Su in the face. If he was facing a martial arts master of this era, Lin Su would need to use some golden fingers, but when facing a few ruffians, just fists and feet were enough.
Lin Su took a step back, allowing the fist that was originally meant to hit his face to hit another person's face. He raised his leg and kicked one person away.
A few people hesitated, but they were reluctant to give up the silver, so they rushed up more fiercely, and Lin Su no longer held back.
Half a cup of tea later, one person flew and hit the pillar of the shack, and was buried by the collapsed straw. It was unknown whether he was alive or dead. The others fell to the ground, covering the places where they were hit and screaming in pain, but no one could get up.
Lin Su looked around and walked over after identifying the leader. However, just as he approached, the man stepped back in fear. "Li Ergou, what do you want? If you kill him, you'll be in trouble! Don't come over here!!!"
Lin Su stopped and said, "I don't really like this name."
06 Seconding: [I also think that the host's use of this name is an insult to the original body.]
Both the person and the system agreed, and Lin Su immediately decided to use his real name again to show his respect for the dead.
But there is no need to tell these people in front of you your name, otherwise you will get yourself into trouble.
Walking faster than moving, Lin Su squatted in front of the man, smiled gently, grabbed his hair and lifted him up: "Take out the money you have and I will let you go."
"I don't have any, I don't have any..." The man panicked but didn't intend to hand over the money. "I really don't have any."
But Lin Su would not believe him. These guys bullied the good and feared the evil. They controlled this generation and the money they robbed from others was at least dozens of taels, which was not enough to spend on a roast chicken.
"I'm really discussing this with you," Lin Su said with a smile, "Have you ever heard of using courtesy before force?"
"No, no..." The man shook his head hastily.
The smile on Lin Su's face vanished as he pressed his head into the mud. It was difficult to breathe in the mud pit, and the man struggled desperately but couldn't break free. A lot of mud and water got into his mouth and nose. When he was almost in shock, Lin Su picked him up again. Looking at him calmly as he almost coughed out his lungs, he said, "This is called courtesy before force. Money or life? You choose."
His tone was indeed gentle, but after what had just happened, the man felt as if he had heard the King of Hell calling his name. His legs trembled, and a strong smell of urine came over him. "I... I'll give it to you. I'll pay."
He searched his body, fumbled around, and took out three taels of silver from his pocket and placed it in Lin Su's hand. He was trembling all over and couldn't understand anything: "Mercy, mercy... mercy..."
"Too little," Lin Su stood up and took out the chicken-cutting knife from the collapsed shack. Under the man's trembling gaze, he put his hand close to his face and said, "I know some techniques for dismembering corpses. I can cut someone three thousand times before they die. The slices of flesh are so thin that you can see the other side. Do you want to see how many cuts you can withstand?"
The man was shaking and convulsing all over, with snot and tears streaming down his face. Several people who had fallen to the ground nearby were also trying to crawl away.
"I'll give it to you, I... give it to you. It's buried... under the third pillar... all... all..." He was so scared that he fainted with his eyes rolled back. Lin Su took his pulse and after confirming that he was really unconscious, he got up and dug up the pillar.
Under the slate and blue bricks was a small jar filled with wine. When it was opened, it was filled with broken silver and copper coins, which added up to more than a hundred taels. In that era, five taels of silver was enough for a family of three to live on for a year. No wonder the guy hid it so well.
He tore off a piece of rag from the clothes of the person next to him, gathered all the wallets and hid them in his arms, then turned to walk out. However, when he turned around an alley, he saw a man standing against the wall.
The man was dressed in white. Although not silk or satin, he was clean and tidy. He had a handsome face but a bit of cynicism, a bit like a wandering knight. At this moment, he was holding a grass in his mouth and looked at Lin Su and said with a smile: "Robbery."
"You wouldn't believe me if I said I had no money," Lin Su knew that this man had been watching him from the beginning. Although he had no martial arts skills, he had a monitoring system, so it would be difficult for such a big man to miss it. "Now that this little money is gone, it will be gone. Why don't you follow me for a month? I'll give you one thousand taels after a month."
"One thousand taels?!" The man's eyes widened, his body a little unsteady, "...Do you think I would believe you? Where did you get a thousand taels? You're not going to rob like you did today, are you?"
"They robbed me of my money before, beat me half to death, and left me on the roadside. Today, I'm just giving them a taste of their own medicine," Lin Su said, spreading his hands. "Do you have any objections?"
The man's face suddenly turned awkward, and he scratched his head and said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. I have a good foundation and you can tell from the looks of it that I have solid kung fu. Have you become my disciple? How about I take you in as my apprentice?"
He was really embarrassed. He thought this person was a bully, but he didn't expect that he was also a poor person.
"But that's not right. Can they beat you with your skills?" The man's eyes became fierce.
"My master taught me well," Lin Su couldn't beat the man in front of him now. This man looked nonchalant, but in fact he had a deep foundation and a steady breath. He was obviously in an alley full of sewage, but there was not a bit of mud on his feet. Unless he spent a lot of money to buy drugs from the system, there was no possibility of defeating him.
"Oh, that's right," the man said, his eyes turning, "Why don't you take me to see your master?"
"Goodbye, senior," Lin Su bowed and turned to leave but someone grabbed his shoulder.
The man flew over to him and said, "Don't be so stingy. Take me to see your master and I won't take your one thousand taels. How about that?"
He had been in the martial arts world for so long and had seen all kinds of martial arts, but this was the first time he had seen that kind of beating method, so he was naturally very curious.
"When did I owe you a thousand taels? I haven't asked you to borrow money," Lin Su asked with a smile. He had a lot of tricks to fool smart people, let alone the guy in front of him whose limbs looked particularly developed.
The man scratched his head and hissed, then nodded after a while: "Yes, then..."
"Master has left the capital and will be back in half a year," Lin Su lied with his eyes open. "If you want to see Master, I don't want the 1,000 taels of silver. As long as you follow me for half a year, you will definitely be able to see him."
"That makes sense," the man nodded, but suddenly turned over and sat on the roof tile next to him and said, "Boy, I, Lu Guo, have been wandering the martial arts world for many years, and only you dare to treat me like a fool and deceive me."
