Yu Lai Tavern.
It's particularly deserted today.
"Here's a bowl of rice wine and a bowl of plain meat... uh, Lady Yu is here too."
Su Qin walked into the tavern and saw Yu Niang sighing. He glanced at the tavern.
In the past, there were only a few drinkers sighing and melancholy at the guest table that was almost always full, and they didn't even order any food or drinks.
The people living in Peach Blossom Lane are not wealthy families to begin with. They used to earn fifteen yuan a month and still have some money to spare. Now that the Green Snake Gang has done this, I am afraid they will have to tighten their belts in the future.
"Another bowl of rice wine and a bowl of broad beans." Su Qin immediately added another bowl of wine and a bowl of dried beans.
Yuniang suddenly burst into laughter, with an intoxicating aura swaying on her face.
In an instant, the whole tavern lit up a lot.
The drinkers in the tavern were all fascinated.
Even Su Qin was lost for a moment, his eyes were dull for a moment, and then he suddenly regained his clarity.
'I was careless and didn't dodge. '
To be honest, Su Qin had fantasies about Yu Niang, but well, he was just a weak scholar at the beginning, so he was not qualified.
Now...it's not enough.
How dare he dare to mess with someone that the Green Snake Gang doesn't even dare to provoke.
"Why, you still want to be alone and support me in this tavern?" Yu Niang calmed down her emotions and said a little funny, and then sighed, "Oh, the future life... will be difficult."
"The Green Snake Gang suddenly charged more members this time, but what happened outside?"
Su Qin picked up a broad bean and threw it into his mouth, and asked seemingly casually.
He always felt that the Green Snake Gang was so strange that it almost drove people to a dead end!
Yuniang hesitated for a moment, then nodded imperceptibly, and said in a low voice: "Part of the army in the city has been sent out to suppress the rebels... If the war does not go well, more troops may be needed."
'really……'
Su Qin knew that the Green Snake Gang must have known the news in advance before they dared to do this.
It's so chaotic outside that people in Taohua Lane can't run away even if they want to.
"By the way, my brother told me... If the war doesn't go well, we will have to recruit troops from the martial arts gym, and we may have to give the martial arts gym an indicator... Don't be stupid when the time comes, avoid it if you can."
Compared with the roundabout reminder last time, Yu Niang reminded Su Qin directly this time.
"My life is too valuable to get involved in this kind of thing."
Su Qin smiled, picked up the old rice wine, and drank the broad beans.
Originally, he thought that he would 'breakthrough' into a skin-refining martial artist in a few days, but now it seems that there is no rush.
When the sky falls, there is a tall one holding it up.
Moreover, apprentices like them should not be able to be recruited by the military conscription. After all, the martial arts school will probably know that it is impossible for these people to work hard for the martial arts school's goals.
'When the time comes, I'm afraid they will be lured with benefits. '
On the other hand, Yu Niang had a worried look on her face, "You may still be able to avoid it, but my brother can't avoid it... If the war gets serious, he will have to go to the battlefield next time."
Su Qin drank another bowl of old yellow rice wine and said, "There is no need to be so pessimistic. Maybe the army that went out this time will directly rebel and suppress it."
"I hope so."
The melancholy on Yu Niang's face lingered.
…
In the next few days, Su Qin discovered that senior brother Nie Feng was very attentive when teaching his apprentices.
In the afternoon, he would also stay in the martial arts square to supervise a group of apprentices, and sometimes even go up to box with them in person.
He also came here specifically to tell Su Qin, "You have understood the true meaning, but you just need to sense the energy and blood... What you earn every day is enough to buy boiling blood powder. You should buy it every day and strive to become a skin refining martial artist as soon as possible."
Su Qin had no choice but to agree. After all, the money earned from boxing cannot be hidden.
'It's really... a storm is coming! Su Qin sighed in his heart.
Fortunately, even with the guidance of his senior brother, there are still many people looking for him to spar.
After all, there is only one senior brother, and there are more than thirty apprentices, so it is impossible to teach them.
On this day, Zhu Qiang found Su Qin with a jar of copper coins.
"Senior Brother Su, there are a hundred big coins here, count them." Zhu Qiang handed the pottery jar to Su Qin, but his eyes were red.
'One tael of silver can't be like this...'
But no matter what, Qian Suqin still had to accept it. He took the pot without looking at it, "No need to count, I can trust you, Junior Brother Zhu."
…
Su Qin taught Zhu Qiang very carefully. He found that Zhu Qiang was very strong!
It's more powerful than he would have been without the blessing of Qi and blood!
You know, his strength, after being tempered by Fire Cloud Grass, is almost 500 kilograms!
'What a monster this kid is! Did he take some powerful tonic? Or is the physical talent just that strong? '
Su Qin was a little confused.
'This guy...can't be a template for the protagonist, right? '
Fortunately, his body had been tempered by Fire Cloud Grass, otherwise he would have been seriously injured by Zhu Qiang today.
"Stop! Junior Brother Zhu, the time is up!"
As soon as the two hours were up, Su Qin immediately stopped. If the beating continued, he was afraid that he would have to expose his energy and blood.
This kid was so powerful that Su Qin suspected that his strength might not be inferior to those of martial arts masters who were new to skin refining and had not yet begun to temper their bodies.
Not surprisingly, Zhu Qiang still failed to understand the true meaning.
He stood there in a daze with his head lowered, his fists clenched tightly, and his eyes were red.
"Junior Brother Zhu, it's your first time fighting and you didn't understand the true meaning. This is normal. You don't need to be discouraged."
Su Qin couldn't bear it and comforted him.
Suddenly, Zhu Qiang knelt down directly in front of Su Qin and said with a sad look on his face: "Senior Brother Su, please save me!"
Su Qin's face instantly became serious, "Junior Brother Zhu, what does this mean?"
He had long noticed that something was wrong with Zhu Qiang, and when he was sparring with him, he would be distracted from time to time.
It's just that he didn't want to meddle in other people's business, so he didn't ask any more questions, but it didn't happen and things happened anyway.
"Senior Brother Su... Just two days ago, my Zhujia Village... was massacred by bandits!" Zhu Qiang burst into tears and choked with sobs:
"Now, I am the only one left in Zhujiacun... I want to avenge them, but I am too weak... I beg my senior brother to teach me... help me understand the true meaning."
'well! Su Qin sighed in his heart, full of helplessness.
This world... teaches people to kill!
Looking at Zhu Qiang kneeling on the ground, Su Qin's face was expressionless, but the previous thought popped up in his mind, 'Isn't this kid really a template for the protagonist? '
"Junior Brother Zhu, you don't have to kneel down." Su Qin walked towards the door and said in a deep voice: "In the martial arts gym, if you come to fight with me, each person will be given one tael of silver each time... This is the rule."
"Senior Brother Su..."
Zhu Qiang was desperate.
Seeing Su Qin walking towards the door step by step and opening the door, Zhu Qiang slowly lowered his head, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Find me at Peach Blossom Lane tonight at Xu time!"
Su Qin stepped out and walked away.
Zhu Qiang raised his head in surprise and cried with joy, "Yes, Senior Brother Su."
Outside the martial arts gym, I love to accept it or not.
