Chapter 64: The rules of the underworld are give and take



Li Banfeng also found a few more watermelon seeds on other weapons: "Manager Yu, I was right, you really spent the whole day cutting watermelons."

Yu Nan carefully recalled the scene of the battle. No matter if they were shot or chopped with knives, the guys in Geng's pharmacy would bleed but would not fall to the ground.

Moreover, during the entire process, Yu Nan did not hear the guys in the drug store say a word, nor did she even hear them shout.

Are they all watermelons?

Is it possible that the blood they bleed is all watermelon juice?

Why did the watermelon grow into a human form? Why can it fight?

Zhang Shiquan, the oldest warehouse manager in the cloth shop, took a puff of his pipe and guessed, "Geng Xiu worked hard to become a great man, and became a duke on the fifth level. I'm afraid we have encountered a great man!"

Farming?

Regarding this Taoist sect, Li Banfeng had no other concept except how hard it was.

"What do you mean by becoming successful?" Li Banfeng asked directly.

Lao Ku said: "This is a common saying in Taoism. Cultivation is hard and few people practice it. But if you can persist in cultivating to the fifth level, you will become successful and can grow all kinds of strange things.

I have never seen a watermelon that can fight like this in my life. I guess it was grown from seeds from the same plant as the one used for farming and repairing."

Yu Nan thought about it and shook her head slightly: "Who is the Geng family? How can they afford a fifth-level cultivator? Besides, I haven't heard of a fifth-level cultivator in Yaowanggou!"

The old warehouse manager filled another pot of dry tobacco and said, "Boss, farming is hard work, and he will do it if he is paid. He is not here to fight, he is just selling a few watermelons.

Moreover, once Geng Xiu runs out of land, he will definitely come out to open up wasteland. There are many new lands in Yaowanggou, so it is possible that Geng Xiu will come and be encountered by the Geng family."

What does the new earth mean?

I always hear some new terms every time.

Li Banfeng did not interrupt as he did not want to interrupt everyone's thoughts.

But everyone's thoughts were interrupted. A fifth-level cultivator was an opponent that Yu Nan dared not look up to, especially when faced with a well-established farming cultivator. No one knew how to deal with it.

Yu Nan turned her gaze to Li Banfeng.

Everyone looked at Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng blinked his eyes and said, "What are you looking at me for? I have never seen Geng Xiu before."

The old warehouse manager took a puff of his pipe and sighed, "The master said three points, and left the other seven points for us to figure out on our own."

After hearing this, everyone continued to look at Li Banfeng eagerly.

Li Banfeng didn't say anything.

He saw that the opponent was a watermelon, and there was a special taste left on the weapon. As for how to deal with Geng Xiu, Li Banfeng had no similar experience and no mature countermeasures.

But Li Banfeng has experience in dealing with powerful enemies that cannot be defeated in the short term. As an orphan who grew up in an orphanage, he has seen too many similar powerful enemies.

"Besides Baixiang Village, do you have any other place to live?" Li Banfeng's advice was to let them escape immediately.

Yu Nan had just suffered a defeat and was carrying a bunch of wounded soldiers. He knew nothing about Geng Zhiwei's methods, so staying here would be tantamount to giving himself away.

What's worse is that to this day, she and her Yu family gang are still thinking about the rules of the underworld.

Based on the thoughts and cognition of this group of people, if they meet a ruthless person like Geng Zhiwei, they will either run away or wait for death.

"Run?" Wang Xuejiao, the elder sister of Lao Ba, stood up. "It has come to this. Where else can we run? Don't you care about your dignity?"

Li Banfeng felt that Yu Nan's thoughts were contradictory: "When you ran from Ligou to Baihua Village, you didn't seem to care so much about your face?"

Yu Nan shook her head and said, "That's different. At that time, we were defending against their hidden arrows, but now they are coming openly."

"Can't we defend against open swords and guns?" Li Banfeng still couldn't understand.

"Boss Li, you don't understand what the underworld is," Wang Xuejiao sneered.

"The enemy is coming with swords and guns. You can prepare in advance and fight them, but if you run away, the Yu family will be completely defeated!"

Li Banfeng glanced at everyone and said, "If you all die here, won't the Yu family's flag fall?"

Wang Xuejiao raised her huge conscience and said, "Of course not. We used our lives to raise the flag of the Yu family!"

Li Banfeng said, "If Geng Zhiwei pressed the Yu family's flag to the ground and urinated on it, what can you do?"

Wang Xuejiao said angrily: "He dares!"

"Even if he dares to do it, what can you do? He's already dead, can you still jump up and hit him?" Li Banfeng continued to glance at everyone.

The principles in this world are very simple, but there are always people who don’t understand them.

Wang Xuejiao lowered her head and whispered, "This is the rule of the martial arts world..."

"Can a dead person talk to him about rules?" Li Banfeng asked again. Wang Xuejiao was not convinced, and neither was anyone else, but no one could answer.

The old warehouse manager tapped his pipe and looked at Yu Nan.

He understood what Li Banfeng said, and he knew the truth behind it: "Boss, let's go and hide in the new place of Jiangyue Mountain for a while."

Yu Nan nodded slightly when she heard this, and the others didn't say much.

Everyone went back to pack their bags, and Yu Nan asked Li Banfeng: "Seventh Master, come with us. Although it's a bit hard in Xindi, Geng Zhiwei doesn't dare to chase after him."

"What exactly is the new place?" Li Banfeng asked when he didn't understand, and he was not afraid of showing his weakness.

Yu Nan was used to it. She didn’t know whether Li Banfeng really didn’t understand or was testing him on purpose:

"New land means new land. Yaowanggou has three to five new lands every year, and each piece of land is as big as two or three villages."

A new place every year?

Li Banfeng shook his head, he still didn't understand.

Yu Nan continued to explain: "It's like two mountains that were originally next to each other. After a year, the two mountains suddenly became farther apart, and a large open space appeared in the middle. This is the new land.

Most of the new land is flat, but there are exceptions, some are hills, some are canyons, some are quagmires, and some are lakes..."

Li Banfeng's eyes widened: "Yaowanggou, the land grew by itself?"

Yu Nan nodded: "Not only in Yaowanggou, there are in every place, every year."

Li Banfeng pulled a chair and sat down, took a sip of water, and tried to calm his cognition which had been repeatedly challenged.

Yu Nan reminded him, "Seventh Master, pack up your things first, it's time for us to set off."

"No hurry," Li Banfeng waved his hand, "You guys go first, take Xiao Pang with you, I have something else to do here."

At two o'clock in the morning, Yu Nan and everyone else left Baixiang Village.

At half past three, Geng Zhiwei, with about a hundred people, broke into Yu Nan's house.

The group was divided into two teams. One team was made up of living people, some of whom stood behind Geng Zhiwei, shouting and yelling with ferocious looks, while the other group was outside the house, surrounding it tightly.

The other team of people was very quiet. They didn’t speak and had wooden expressions. They were the “watermelon people” that Geng Zhiwei bought from Geng Xiu.

These watermelon people also hold knives and axes in their hands, but at present, their functions are limited to walking.

A servant took a cloth bag, grabbed a handful of brown particles and stuffed them into the watermelon man's mouth.

These grains have a pungent fishy smell and are fertilizer for watermelon people.

After eating the fertilizer, the watermelon man raised his knife and prepared for battle.

Soon, more than twenty watermelon people were eating the fertilizer.

Two servants came over with a dozen watermelons cut up.

These watermelons are very special. They taste very sweet and fishy, and seem to be different from ordinary watermelons.

Geng Zhiwei picked up two pieces of watermelon and ate them with slurps.

Soon, his face turned red and he was sweating.

Jia Quansheng and a group of servants were also eating watermelons.

Li Banfeng hid in the house and saw everything clearly through the window.

What do they do with watermelon?

Li Banfeng didn't understand.

But he soon understood.

Geng Zhiwei shouted: "Kill!"

The watermelon people were not that smart. When Geng Zhiwei ordered them to move, they would follow Geng Zhiwei. When Geng Zhiwei ordered to kill, for them, it meant killing anyone they saw.

But the Watermelon Man only kills people and does not harm watermelons. Geng Zhiwei and his subordinates ate the watermelons and exuded the smell of watermelons from the inside out. The Watermelon Man would not harm them and would obey their orders.

This is how they distinguish friend from foe.

Li Banfeng took advantage of his home renovation and quietly jumped into the backyard and hid in the woodshed.

A man pushed open the door and walked into the woodshed. Li Banfeng raised his nose and smelled the unique sweetness of watermelon.

This is a watermelon man.

There are watermelon people in the front and back yards.

Let the watermelon people do all the risky things.

If Yu Nan hadn't left, no matter how many ambushes she had set, she would have ended up having to fight this group of watermelon people. She wouldn't be able to hurt Geng Zhiwei at all.

After all the casualties on Yu Nan's side were left dead or wounded, Geng Zhiwei ordered the people outside to close the net, and no one on Yu Nan's gang could escape.

Geng Zhiwei wants to kill them all.

He couldn't let Yu Nan go, nor could he let Li Banfeng go. This was the only thing Yu Nan said was right.

This is why Li Banfeng stayed.

Yu Nan was defeated by Geng Zhiwei, and it will soon be Li Banfeng's turn.

What should Li Banfeng do?

The principle is simple: if you can beat them, fight; if you can’t, run away.

Can Li Banfeng beat Geng Zhiwei?

I couldn’t beat him before, it’s hard to say now.

Li Banfeng saw the characteristics of the watermelon man and already knew Geng Zhiwei's methods.

He has a chance to win, the key lies in how he fights.

Eat a watermelon every day and be on guard against Geng Zhiwei every day?

Does this trick work?

It doesn't work.

There are three reasons.

First, Li Banfeng was not sure whether Geng Zhiwei was eating ordinary watermelon.

Second, Li Banfeng didn’t know when Geng Zhiwei would make a move, so he couldn’t eat watermelon all the time.

Third, Geng Zhiwei knows the fifth-level farming cultivator. If another carrot man is replaced tomorrow, how should Li Banfeng deal with it?

Therefore, eating watermelon alone cannot fundamentally solve the problem.

Declare a war with Geng Zhiwei directly here?

The difficulty is too great and Geng Zhiwei is too well prepared. His chances of winning are slim if he just relies on surprise attack.

Things in the underworld must be resolved according to the rules of the underworld.

The rules of the underworld require give and take.

I came to his house as a guest first, even though I came uninvited, it was still a visit.

Then I sent him to a good place. Even though there is no return, it is still a journey.

Isn't this a give and take?

Isn’t this the rule of the underworld?

As for the rules about open and covert attacks, Li Banfeng doesn't understand them for the time being.

The watermelon man who entered the woodshed saw Li Banfeng and started to chop him with his knife.

Li Banfeng picked up a shovel, made a hole in the watermelon man's stomach, reached into the watermelon man's wound, and grabbed out a handful of watermelon pulp.

That’s right, it’s the watermelon flesh, fresh red, and with watermelon seeds.

The watermelon man felt no pain and continued to chop with his knife.

Li Banfeng smeared the watermelon pulp on his face, which gave off the smell of watermelon.

The watermelon man raised his knife and continued chopping.

Not working!

It really didn't work. During the day, Yu Nan led his men to fight with the watermelon people, and his body was covered with a lot of watermelon juice, but the watermelon people did not show any mercy to them.

It’s no use applying it on your face, you have to eat the watermelon pulp, and the watermelon flavor has to radiate from the inside out.

Fortunately, this watermelon man can carry but is not very good at fighting. Li Banfeng's skills are enough to deal with him.

During the fight, Li Banfeng grabbed a handful of watermelon pulp and swallowed it.

The watermelon was sweet but also astringent, and Li Banfeng swallowed it with difficulty.

The watermelon man swung his knife again, and Li Banfeng was shocked. He had already eaten the watermelon, so why was it not working?

Not eating enough?

Li Banfeng dodged the watermelon man's knife, grabbed a handful of watermelon pulp from the watermelon man's wound, and stuffed it into his mouth.

It tastes so bad, why is it so bitter? It made Li Banfeng sweat.

The watermelon man sniffed and smelled the scent of watermelon on Li Banfeng, the scent of watermelon from the inside out. The knife was swung in the air and did not move.

"Watermelon Man" does not harm watermelons.

Li Banfeng opened the mobile home and stuffed the key deep into the watermelon man's stomach.

Li Banfeng disappeared, and the watermelon man picked up the machete and silently left the woodshed.
