Beside the well, Chen Mu was sitting on a bamboo stool.
Wet a towel with cold well water and apply ice to your arms.
The first time I practiced too hard, my arms were sore and sore.
He didn't dare to continue practicing. The level of medical care in this ancient world was not high, and it was not easy to cure someone who was really broken.
The cold well water irritated the skin. Chen Mu shivered and couldn't help but think of the Wang family.
When I went there yesterday, I was still impressed by the wealth and wealth of the Wang family.
Unexpectedly, all the direct blood relatives disappeared overnight.
A ruthless bandit who could quietly wipe out the entire Wang family without even knowing where he came from.
"It must be someone like Lu Baotou who can go up and down."
If his small arms and legs were touched, he would probably die without knowing how.
"We must find a way to learn martial arts." Chen Mu secretly made up his mind: "Make money first. If you have money, everything will be easier."
"It's a pity that it's not easy to make money." Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh.
After a month and a half of retreat, I finally developed a second-level drawing skill.
I thought I could turn around. As a result, I was targeted by Painter Yan on the first day.
I just want to make some money honestly, but why is it so difficult?
That painter Yan was so disgusting, he actually wanted to have my hands destroyed.
Although the murder of the Wang family caused some trouble for the Miao Painting Workshop.
But it’s hard to say what the effect will be.
"This is the only way we can go." Chen Mu sighed.
He is just a poor scholar with no relatives or friends, so how can he dare to go against a local snake like Master Yan?
"We can't go to Anlefang." Chen Mu thought depressedly.
You have to think of another way to make money.
…
Qingshan County County Government.
Painter Yan walked out of the county government gate with a livid face.
I feel bad for the one hundred taels of silver I just lost.
I don't know what kind of style the county lieutenant has. How can I, an old man with no strength, kill the entire Wang family?
"I wonder how long this greedy person can run rampant!" Painter Yan said angrily.
"Keep your voice down, Mr. Yan!" A middle-aged man next to him immediately whispered: "This is at the Yamen Gate."
"He dared to do it, but he was afraid that I would tell him!"
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid they will seize the opportunity and blackmail us again."
Painter Yan's face suddenly turned red.
These greedy government officials are really capable of this.
Painter Yan snorted coldly and walked quickly with his head down.
The middle-aged man could only shake his head and follow with a wry smile.
"The Wang family was massacred overnight. Such a big case involves many people. If we can cut off contact with this big case, we can save money and avoid disaster." The middle-aged man comforted.
Only then did Painter Yan nod, admitting that he was unlucky.
I don’t know why a family murder case involves painters like them.
How to remove paint? Who knows!
The more I think about Painter Yan, the more depressed I become.
If he knows who is behind the scenes, he must look good!
The two of them chatted for a while about the murder of the Wang family. Guess which gangster did it. There are so many guards in the Wang family, but they can't stop him.
At this moment, the lights are on. If it were in the past, Painter Yan would definitely go to Anlefang to play.
I lost one hundred taels of silver today, and my heart is bleeding. I pinched the remaining pieces of silver in my sleeves, how could I still think about having fun.
After separating from the middle-aged man, Painter Yan took advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun and wandered home.
As soon as he turned into a street, a sack fell from the sky and trapped him in it.
Before he could even open his mouth to apologize and call for help.
Woo...
There was a sound of wooden sticks cutting through the air.
Bang bang bang...
Ouch, ouch, ouch...
Before he could resist a few times, he felt a pain in his neck, rolled his eyes and passed out.
…
East market, food market.
"Zheng Tu, give me ten pounds of pork belly, and give me a piece of ham and bacon." Chen Mu stood in front of a piece of meat and asked.
"Scholar, have you made a fortune?" Zheng Tu said with a smile as he cut the meat, the fat on his face rippling.
"Not as good as you Zheng Tu, I just make a small fortune and can barely afford to eat meat." Chen Mu said with a smile, feeling quite happy.
His arms ached and he could no longer practice Locust Stone. When I have nothing to do, I hang out near the Yamen. I want to see if the painter of Miaohua Studio was really arrested.
As a result, I saw the figure of Painter Yan.
Chen Mu felt that it was better to resolve enemies than to end them, so he thought about following up with him and having a chat with him alone.
I finally gained the second-level drawing ability, so I can't let it go to waste.
If the conversation goes well, maybe we can make a fortune together.
After all, joining if you can't beat them is a normal operation.
But I don’t know who threw a torn sack at the street corner, and there were a few scattered thick sticks of firewood on the ground.
Looking at Painter Yan's back, Chen Mu felt that when old friends meet, they have to give each other a surprise.
So, he picked up the sack, picked up the stick, and walked forward silently...
…
In the following days, the atmosphere in Qingshan County became obviously tense.
The lazy third-class government officials patrol the streets all day long.
A large number of green-skinned gangsters were thrown into prison just to get some clues about the destruction of the Wang family.
Obviously, the Duxian Lieutenant was anxious.
At this time, Chen Mu didn't dare to hang out outside, so he had to stay behind closed doors.
He eats meat every day and practices locust stone hard.
With the broken silver gift from Master Yan, he can still sustain his consumption even if he eats meat every day.
As the locust stone proficiency increases.
Chen Mu found that not only the accuracy of the throwing was improved, but the strength was also gradually increasing.
The most obvious change is that obvious muscle lines can be seen on his arms!
I used to be skinny with ribs, but now I have gained muscle!
"Proficiency improvement is not just about improving skills!" Chen Mu squeezed the hard forearm muscles with a look of joy on his face.
With a thought, the gray wall appeared.
Writing: 1043/10000/second level;
Picture: 157/10000/second order;
Throw: 3229/10000/level one;
"This is only the first level. If it reaches the second level of qualitative change..."
Chen Mu's heart suddenly became hot.
I still underestimated the gray walls!
The visible increase in strength made him addicted to practicing every day and couldn't stop.
Until someone knocked on his door.
"Captain Lu?!" Chen Mu's scalp tightened. Why did you find it on my head again?
You don't really want to catch me and use me as a scapegoat.
"The county government has found clues about the thief and wants you to draw a wanted portrait." Capt. Lu explained with a smile.
Chen Mu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Turn around, close the door and lock it, and follow Mr. Lu towards the county government office.
"Captain Lu, how did the county government find the thief?" Chen Mu asked curiously.
Mr. Lu glanced at Chen Mu strangely: "I would also like to thank Mr. Chen for the reminder."
"Miaohua Workshop provided the formula for a liquid solution to eliminate pigments. This allowed us to locate the drug store in the city. Only then did we find the traces of the gangsters."
At that time, he thought that Chen Mu was using the yamen to take revenge on Miao Painting Workshop.
Unexpectedly, Miaohua Workshop actually provided a key clue.
Mr. Lu felt a little guilty. He had wronged a good man.
Chen Mu was stunned when he heard this.
Does Miaohuafang really have a recipe? !
I just want to cause trouble for them!
Why did it become a key clue? !
Immediately he thought of another key question.
Since the formula provided by Miaohua Workshop is useful, it means that the formula is real.
So the other party's formula and your own formula are the same version?
With proficiency in gray walls, can you still steal other people's recipes? !
