Lu Sheng was wearing a clean green short coat and he was walking slowly on the noisy street.
Yangcheng is a small city, divided into an outer city and an inner city.
The houses in the outer city are dilapidated and the facilities are simple. Feces left by humans and animals and some smelly garbage can be seen everywhere on the ground.
This is where the poor and beggars live. Lu Sheng’s bun shop is located in the middle of West Street in the outer city.
He is going to the inner city now, because the inner city is prosperous and has more opportunities.
As early as the first time he was blackmailed by Lao Ma, he came up with the idea of practicing martial arts, but because he didn't have much money, he had to accept the situation and save enough money.
There is no shame in being born in a humble family. Only those who are able to bend and stretch will become a husband!
After enduring it for a year, he earned enough money by earning the difference, and it was time to practice martial arts.
After walking for another incense stick, he crossed a street and stood at the entrance of the alley. He saw a beggar kneeling on the smelly ground.
There is a rolled-up straw mat next to it. The straw mat is bulging, as if it contains something.
Lu Sheng glanced slightly and saw that a white baby's arm stretched out from the end of the straw mat.
The beggar was a woman with disheveled hair and a sallow complexion. There was a lot of eye droppings in her eyes, and her hazy eyes revealed the meaning of prayer.
"Old... Master, please give me some money to bury my daughter!"
The female beggar's voice was hoarse, like two pieces of decayed bark rubbing against each other.
Thorny edge!
Lu Sheng casually threw a penny into the bowl and left without looking back.
"Master is such a kind man! Thank you, but can you give me a little more charity? I can't bury my daughter with a penny. As long as I can bury my daughter, I can do whatever you want!"
The beggar opened his shabby clothes, and a few green-headed flies flew out, making a "buzzing" sound.
Without squinting his eyes, Lu Sheng walked alone, ignoring the begging sounds of the beggars behind him.
If he could give this man some money, that would be good, in this world of cannibalism.
Charity given to others is punishment to oneself.
"Master! Please! Have mercy on my baby girl!"
The female beggar put one hand behind her back, put her black palm on the ground, stood up, and ran towards Lu Sheng.
Hearing the voice behind him, Lu Sheng turned around alertly and saw the female beggar with blood-spotted eyes running towards her with a look of madness on her face.
Lu Sheng's focus was on what was behind the female beggar. This person had evil intentions!
Making a decisive decision, he frowned, quickly took a few steps back, took out a package of yellow paper, tore open the package skillfully, and swung his left hand towards the female beggar's face.
A large cloud of white dust rose up. The female beggar did not expect the young man to be so vigilant, and was immediately fascinated by some dust.
"Ah! My eyes!"
Covering her eyes, the female beggar fell to the ground, rolling and struggling wildly.
Lu Sheng, who was worried, took the opportunity to sprinkle some lime powder. He quietly walked over and went around behind the female beggar.
An old kitchen knife covered with rust was found under her wrist.
If he stabbed him with a knife, he wouldn't get tetanus!
For safety reasons, Lu Sheng kicked her on the wrist, causing the skin and flesh of the female beggar's wrist to split.
With a cry of pain, Lu Sheng let go of the kitchen knife. Lu Sheng bent down, picked up the kitchen knife, held the handle tightly, and his eyes fell on the female beggar's neck.
"You must be in pain. I want to send you away from this terrible world."
After muttering a few words to himself, Lu Sheng swung down the kitchen knife in his hand.
Puff.
Blood spurted out and flowed continuously from the wound.
The female beggar screamed, her arms covering her eyes dropped, her body twitched a few times, and then she died.
Throwing away the kitchen knife, Lu Sheng didn't even look at the man. His eyes fell on the broken wooden mat. He had been a beggar for two and a half years, and he had a guess in his mind.
When the mat was lifted, a large group of green-headed flies flew out. Lu Sheng dispersed the flies calmly with his eyes.
They found a girl inside with a hideous cut on her belly.
It's empty inside and the blood has dried.
Some old women in the inner city believe that eating children's organs can improve their beauty, and their thugs often engage in black trade in the outer city.
Presumably, this child was killed by the female beggar in exchange for food for the winter.
Sighing, Lu Sheng held the mat, dug a small hole in the land next to it, and buried the mat in it.
After wasting a little time, Lu Sheng continued walking forward. Soldiers began to appear one by one. The streets and houses nearby became more and more neat and tidy.
There is a circle of brick walls in front and a large iron gate in the middle. There are many soldiers standing there.
"Please show me the roster. If not, I'll pay you one hundred cents."
A soldier in armor stopped in front of Lu Sheng, with his fingers on the handle of the knife. Seeing the young man's clothes and his movements of taking out money, contempt flashed in his eyes.
At first glance, this boy looks like the untouchables from the outer city. Yes, he is a beggar. To them, anyone from the outer city is a beggar.
With a smile, Lu Sheng took out a stick-shaped object wrapped in red paper from his pocket.
Weighing it in his hand, the soldier smiled and gave way.
Holding his fists slightly, Lu Sheng carried his baggage and entered the inner city with some people.
The streets in the inner city are neat and clean, and the houses and shops on both sides of the road are much more beautiful. They are better than the thatched houses and mud houses in the outer city, and they have turned into stone and brick houses.
He raised his head and pushed the hair away from his eyes with his slender fingers, revealing his fair face.
His face is rosy and his complexion is good. After more than a year of eating and drinking, his skin is no longer as dirty and rough as before.
She has a delicate appearance, regular facial features, and a hint of childishness. Her clear eyes are as bright as cold stars, her brows are thick and slender, and her eyes are resolute and sharp.
He also didn't expect that his appearance was more and more consistent with his previous life. Could the soul still change the body?
If he really looked like the beggar before, no one would be willing to match him. In this era, appearance is also important.
Do you think his reputation as "Bao Zi Chen Gong" is in vain?
Chen Gong was a handsome man from Wei State who was now the Prince Consort. When neighbors bought his steamed buns, they saw Lu Sheng's handsome appearance and nicknamed him him as a joke.
Smiling, Lu Sheng walked into the crowd and blended in with the crowd.
…
"Which martial arts school should we go to?"
Sitting under a willow tree, Lu Sheng fell into thought.
Today he visited all the martial arts schools in the inner city. There were five martial arts schools in total.
The strength of the master of Poshan Martial Arts School, the strongest one, has reached the level of a first-class master, and the masters of the other martial arts schools basically have the same strength.
Since the hall owners were about the same strength, he started to compare prices and treatment.
Poshan Martial Arts School requires a tuition fee of three taels of silver per month, which is three thousand Wen! ! !
It’s almost time to catch up with his bun shop’s monthly profit!
You must know that he made a lot of difference in price and almost annexed the business of several streets.
That's all I can do to practice martial arts.
Fortunately, he has almost thirty taels of silver left on him, which can support ten months of martial arts training.
But what about ten months from now? Or sell steamed buns? Earn tuition?
Shaking his head, he felt that it was not worth it. Although the martial arts school also promised to provide meals and some tonics, based on the information he knew.
Nearly two-thirds of the people left the martial arts gym after ten months, for no other reason than that they had no money to buy martial arts tonics and the training hurt their bodies.
Those who can stay there for a long time are all children from rich families!
As the saying goes, if you just practice without eating, you will be done with it sooner or later.
This martial arts gym is still open, and the outer city is so dangerous. He is afraid that he will be tricked when he walks at night, and once he enters the martial arts gym.
There will definitely be an acquaintance who knows, and when the time comes for the wealth to move people's hearts, he is still a weak child, which is too dangerous.
