The sunset…
Zhang Shichen walked out of the room with a whip in his hand and stretched out refreshed.
When Captain Xu who was waiting outside the door saw this, he immediately stepped forward to help him tidy up his clothes, and said with a smile on his face: "Young Master, just now the master sent someone to send a message, saying that there has been something strange about the people in the Qingsha Gang recently, and asked us to recruit some strong men at the dock. Be prepared, maybe it will be useful tomorrow."
"I know, I know…"
Zhang Shichen waved his hands impatiently, and was about to go to the dining hall to eat something to make up for the damage, but he seemed to have thought of something, and turned around and said, "By the way, let someone clean up the room."
"yes……"
Captain Xu glanced through the crack in the door. When he saw a scarred woman lying on the ground, he knew what the young master meant by 'processing'...
The day's work is done.
A group of workers at the dock gathered in the canteen to eat...
After Zhang Shichen led a group of losers to the canteen, the noisy canteen suddenly became quiet. The workers who were talking and laughing all lowered their heads and ate in silence, for fear of being noticed...
Zhang Shichen seemed to be very satisfied with the effect. He sneered and didn't bother to pay attention to these low-level mud-legged people. He walked into the inner hall to eat on his own.
Behind him, Team Leader Xu looked around at the laborers who were engrossed in eating, and said loudly: "The Qingsha Gang has been dishonest recently. If you want to be a strong man tomorrow, it will still be the same. Those who are willing to be a strong man, don't leave after dinner, come to me." Take a sword and a penny of beans.”
"correct……"
He looked around again and noticed Liu Shen cooking rice in a basin. He called out, "Shenzi, find a few people to clean up the young master's room. Go now."
"..."
Liu Shen, who was planning rice, paused slightly.
He put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands with a slight movement of his eyes, straightened up and looked at the people around him who had relatively good relations with him, and called out: "Brother Dahai, Huzi, Ergui, let's go together."
After that, he walked out of the dining hall door...
The four people whose names were called looked at each other and put down their bowls and chopsticks in tacit understanding and followed them out.
"I want to recruit a young man again..."
After Shen Hu left the dining hall, he muttered impatiently: "The two gangs don't do anything every day, so they just ask the people below to carry knives and yell on the streets to see who has the loudest voice. What's the point?"
Hu Dahai curled his lips and said: "I heard someone said that a few days ago, another second-level warrior from the Qingsha Gang died in the Chishui Gang's territory for no apparent reason. It seems that several people have died in the past six months. The Qingsha Gang They’re probably quite annoyed over there too.”
In a small place like Heyang County, the Chishui gang leader who was a martial artist in the four realms has become a figure like an underground emperor for thousands of years.
And the second-level warriors are also small-boss-level figures in Jianghu gangs such as Chishui Gang and Qingsha Gang. For Jianghu Caowang who values loyalty, it is natural that his own little boss died in the territory of other gangs without any reason. I need an explanation...
"It's just dog bite dog..."
Shen Hu looked around and whispered softly, "Brother Shen, have you noticed that the Chishui Gang is really getting worse every year?"
"normal…"
Liu Shen nodded and said: "The Chishui Gang is called the Jianghu Gang at best, but it's actually a group of bandits who have no place on the stage."
There were some words that he couldn't say clearly, and even if he did, they might not understand them.
Jiang Hu Cao Mang values loyalty, but Zhang Wannian only had an only son in middle age, allowing a beast like Zhang Shichen to do whatever he wants. Is there no one in the Chishui Gang who can't stand what their father and son did?
If you don’t follow the rules, then if you are a charity group and break the rules from within, its decline is inevitable...
When they saw the hall set up by the Chishui Gang at the dock, several people looked at each other and understood without saying anything more.
After arriving at Zhang Shichen's room, even though they were fully prepared, their expressions froze and they cursed in their hearts that they were inferior to beasts...
A petite woman was curled up naked on the ground, her hair disheveled, and her naked body was covered with scars from whips.
Looking at that stiff body, it is obvious that the life has died...
Seeing this, Liu Shen felt as if his heart was weighed down by a stone. After taking a long breath of relief, he took off his coat from his body and put it on the woman's body.
"Brother Shen, you don't have any clothes, just go back first, so you don't catch a cold..."
Among the group of people, Hu Dahai was the oldest. He also noticed Liu Shen's uncertain expression, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "By the way, help us get the money for the young man. I'll take Hu Zi and Er Gui." This little girl is buried and will rest in peace."
"Then I'll bother you..."
Liu Shen did not refuse, and walked out of the room with a dull expression. He stopped next to the water tank and bent down to grab a handful of water and splash it on his face...
His reflection on the water was rippled by the rippling ripples, making him look hideous.
As time went by, the water surface in the water tank gradually returned to calm, and the reflection in the water surface also returned to normal. At least... it didn't look so ferocious...
Return to the dining hall.
Because there will be a young man tomorrow night, the Chishui Gang at the entrance of the dock has brought several boxes of sharp machetes for distribution.
Since it is a show of strength, the equipment must be fully equipped.
No matter how powerful a group of bare-chested strong men screamed, it would not have as strong a visual impact as a group of strong men standing there with dazzling machetes...
However, iron swords are very valuable, so these machetes are distributed less than before, and they still have to be returned afterwards.
A group of coolies who made a living by the dock received their machetes and then went to the other side to collect silver beans.
For them, all the strong men have to do is to pretend to be fierce, hold a knife and yell, and they can't fight at all.
And when a strong man can receive one penny of silver beans for one day, which is equivalent to five or six days of normal wages, why not do it?
Liu Shen wrapped the five machetes he received in cloth strips and tucked them under his arm, and then lined up to receive the silver beans.
Captain Xu also recognized Liu Shen, pinched five silver beans and gave them to him and asked: "Shenzi, has the young master's room been tidied up?"
"Soon…"
Liu Shen didn't want to have too much interaction with him, so he said casually: "Hu Dahai, Shen Hu, and Gou Ergui are packing up. I'll come back first to help them get their things."
"You kid..."
Seeing that his coat was gone, Team Leader Xu raised his eyebrows narrowly and joked: "The little bitches are so tender that they can squeeze out water. Are you taking advantage of it while it's hot? Huh?"
The sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, combined with the raised brows when speaking and the meaning behind the words, are as disgusting as they are...
"..."
Liu Shen turned and left without even looking at him.
When Captain Xu saw that his teasing was in vain, he was slightly startled. After regaining his composure, he spat and muttered: "Dirty material..."
It's night, and the bright moon hangs high.
Hu Dahai, Shen Hu, and Gou Ergui buried the body of the humiliated woman in the ground. After returning to the residential area, they took away their knives and money from Liu Shen, and then went to boil water and take a bath without saying a word.
It's a bath, but it also seems to be washing something else.
Four years ago, some of them were farmers and some were the sons of butchers. Although they had different identities, they were all downright lower-class people.
I came here to escape the flood and ate Caobang food.
In these four years, they may have learned how to be cunning and cunning, and how to deal with cruelty and indifference, but their conscience has never been extinguished...
Now looking at the beastly things Zhang Shichen did and helping him dispose of the little girl's body, I feel a little heartbroken when I come back this time...
When Liu Shen thought about what happened today, he felt restless and uneasy. He felt more and more bored in the room, so he simply took the machete he had received and went out, practicing his sword skills in the woods behind the residence.
But as he continued to practice, his eyes suddenly focused, and he actually saw a few flickering lights in the distance...
With the blessing of the Ajna eyes to enhance the five senses, he could clearly see that the dots of fire in the distance were not fires, but torches connected together!
The torches are quickly gathering towards the dock!
Thinking of what Bantou Xu said during dinner that the Qingsha Gang has been dishonest recently and needs strong men;
I also thought of what Hu Dahai had said a few days ago that another second-level martial artist from the Qingsha Gang died inexplicably on the territory of the Chishui Gang;
Combined with the sight of the torches surrounding him, the hairs on his body suddenly stood up...
Qingsha Gang's night attack! ?
