  Chapter 520 Collect money

  In the room, Zhou Yi stepped steadily, holding the knife above the slanted finger of his hand, accompanied by a low shout, and walked with the knife, and the room was full of swords in a short time.

  As the knife became more and more urgent, there was a faint whistle of the knife.

   "Peng!"

  A piece of wooden stake as thick as an arm was cut by the light of the knife, and it was split into two in an instant. The crack was smooth and smooth without the slightest burr, which shows the speed and power of the knife.

   "Shua!"

  Retracting the knife and standing upright, Zhou Yi breathed out lightly.

   Wind Cleave Knife: Skilled (27/100)

  The rapid development of the knife technique is mainly due to the fact that it takes only a short time to practice it once, and you can play a move from beginning to end in a few minutes.

  If you are willing to work hard, it is no problem to practice it dozens of times a day.

  Under the light of the 'Apocalypse', every time he practiced, he gained a little bit. This is the reason why he broke through the entry stage in less than a month.

  However, as the knife technique is advanced and proficient, the progress is getting slower and slower. It is not that the practice time is longer, but the energy consumed is increasing.

  In the introductory stage, the most muscle soreness will be experienced once.

nowadays.

  Every move and every move consumes a lot of mental and physical energy. If you practice it once, you have to rest for a long time before you can recover.

  Unless you become a blood-changing warrior and your physical endurance increases, it will be difficult to recover the original progress.

   As for the clearance...

   The method of rushing through the barrier stimulates the blood in a short period of time and consumes more. Even if it is delicious and delicious, it can be done once a day at most.

   Chong Guan (19/100)

   "Brother Shan, open the door."

   "Daughter-in-law of the Qian family, is there something wrong?"

"Um."

  The houses in Jimin Lane are close to each other, and the two families share a wall. The wall is thin, and the voice from the next door can be heard clearly.

   Zhou Yi stopped and looked at the wall.

  Qi Shan is well-known among the refugees on the street. In my impression, this person is full of sternness. It is said that he is a habitual thief, and there are still lives under his hands.

   There are also many small problems.

  Drinking, lustful, like to use force to solve the problem.

   "Borrow money?"

  Qi Shan's voice mentioned it.

   "Well, as long as you lend me the money, you can do anything."

   "Really do anything?"

"…Um."

   "Everything about it..."

   Zhou Yi shook his head, closed his eyes, covered his ears and lay down, but the slightly plump figure of Mrs. Qian couldn't help appearing in his mind.

   There is also the skinny Qi Shan...

   Ouch!

  In an instant, all distracting thoughts disappeared from my mind.

   But Sister-in-Law Qian has a husband, and even with this kind of sound insulation conditions, the sound can probably be heard, can this be tolerated?

  Xu Liu, with a long knife on his waist, followed his uncle He Dong, and came down to the entrance of Jimin Lane, surrounded by a group of giant whale gangs.

   "Refugees?"

  Looking at the muddy ground and the simple houses in front of him, He Dong showed disdain.

   "I really think that the people in the yamen are kind. If there is no other way, they would like the refugees to die. The most important thing is that they are fine."

   "Xiao Liu, you have to remember that if you are at the bottom, you will be squeezed by others."

   "A small official in the yamen who embezzles dozens of taels of silver will only be demoted, and a subordinate who steals a bite of steamed bun from the master's house may be beaten to death with a random stick. This is the difference."

"Yes."

  Xu Liu nodded ignorantly.

   "I heard..." He Dong tilted his head and asked:

   "Some time ago, you caught a refugee who went up the mountain to pick mushrooms and didn't turn in his income?"

"Yes."

   "That person has a grudge against you?"

   "Not really." Xu Liumian was excited:

   "There were some conflicts before, but after I caught him, I gave him a hard lesson and let him know that Xu Liu is not what I used to be."

  Since he met his long-lost uncle in the Giant Whale Gang, Xu Liu's fortune has changed, from a homeless refugee to a member of the Giant Whale Gang.

   Still a small boss!

"madness!"

   Never thought about it, but He Dong snorted coldly:

   "Since you have grasped the handle, don't be merciful. Only by cutting the weeds and roots can we eliminate future troubles. Is that person dead now?"

   "This..." Xu Liu showed hesitation:

   "He is seriously injured, should he be dead?"

   "Should?" He Dong glanced at him:

   "If you don't die, do you think he will hate you in his heart, and will he let you go if he has a chance to retaliate in the future?"

  Xu Liu's face darkened.

"go!"

  He Dong waved his hand:

   "Lead someone to collect money, let me see your ability."

"Yes!"

  Xu Liu responded loudly, and waved his hand:

"Come with me!"

  ...

   Every five days, Zhou Yi went to the mountain to harvest mountain mushrooms, and distributed half of them to the Giant Whale Gang, with about twenty or thirty big coins.

  This is normal.

  If you encounter high-quality mountain mushrooms, such as tiger palms, truffles and other valuable mountain products, you will secretly avoid the road and handle the harvest secretly.

  In order to avoid repeating Ergou's mistakes, he is extra careful, even if it is inconvenient to handle, he would rather eat it by himself than take the risk.

  Stable income makes life more stable.

   You can even buy some meat from time to time, and taste the meat.

  Eating well and drinking enough, the burnt yellow on the face gradually faded, showing ruddy, and even heightened again because of this.

  The swollen flesh also became firmer.

   "Peng!"

   "Boom..."

  The chaos and noise came from outside, which also made Zhou Yi, who was practicing sword skills, feel nervous, and opened the door to look outside.

  At this time, Jimin Lane is already in chaos.

  More than a dozen giant whale gangs with knives and swords rushed to every house, yelling and urging the protection fee, and punched and kicked if they hesitated.

   "Thirty dollars for one person?"

   Someone shouted:

   "We are refugees. Some time ago, we were still relying on rich businessmen to give us porridge. This has only stopped for a few days. How can we have so much money for you?"

   "Peng!"

  Before the words fell, the person who spoke was knocked to the ground by the handle of the knife, and the blood flowed from his nose, pouring into the muddy street.

   "If you don't have money, then you can find a way by yourself. It really doesn't work. We are short of workers in the mines and mountains of the Giant Whale Gang." Xu Liu paced forward and said slowly:

   "Mining and logging, not only food and drink, but also protection fees for you, how about it?"

   "Don't, don't!"

  A woman rushed out of the house, threw herself beside the man, and hurriedly said:

   "We have money, we have money!"

  The mines of the Giant Whale Gang are well-known. To be a miner or a carpenter is to be a slave. Once you go there, it is almost impossible to come back.

  As long as there is a way, I will not go.

   "If you have money, don't hurry up and take it out." Xu Liu's expression was ruthless:

   "We only receive 30 big money a month. It is because the refugees are not easy, and the leader is extra merciful. Let me tell you, starting from next month, it will be 50 big money a month!"

   "Bah!"

   "Do you really think you are rare for your little money?"

Fifty!

  The refugees on the street changed color one after another.

  Thirty or fifty may not be many for ordinary people, but they are refugees, and there are not many with stable jobs at present.

  'It is impossible for the imperial court to watch so many refugees gather, let alone raise them for nothing all the time, but it is inconvenient to do it directly. '

  ‘Leaving it to the gang is the most suitable! '

  ‘Whether it is to drive the refugees away or let the refugees find jobs to create value, it is in the interests of the imperial court and the dignitaries in the city. '

   "If there is trouble, the responsibility can also be shifted to the gang, which can be said to serve multiple purposes."

  ‘Fifty renminbi should not be the final result. If you want to be exempted from labor taxes, the people in the city will have to pay at least one tael of silver a year, which means nearly 100 renminbi a month! '

   As his thoughts turned, Zhou Yi couldn't help but shrink his eyes.

  One hundred words,

   It is not a small amount for him. After all, in order to prevent being discovered, he has been very restrained in picking and growing mushrooms during this period.

"Da da…"

  Footsteps sounded, and Xu Liu paced forward with his hands behind his back.

   "Brother B, we meet again."

"Yes."

   Zhou Yi laughed dryly, took out the money bag from his body, and counted thirty big coins:

   "The sixth son is promising. Don't worry, I will definitely not cause trouble for you. Thirty big coins are not a lot, you can count them."

"Oh!"

  Xu Liu was not in a hurry to collect the money, and smiled lightly:

   "I heard that Brother Yi has had good luck picking mushrooms during this time. It seems that this is true. The thirty big coins will be given out as soon as they are offered."

   "Where are the others?"

   "Uncle Zheng took Aunt Bai to plant the land." Zhou Yi said:

   "I knew I wasn't that material, so I stayed."

   "Planting the land?" Xu Liu raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, as if thinking of something, with a strange expression on his face, he shook his head before asking:

   "Ergou, are you dead?"

   "I don't know either." Zhou Yi shuddered, and replied:

   "He's gone, maybe it doesn't matter where he died."

   "Gone?" Xu Liu looked gloomy:

   "That is to say, he didn't die with you?"

   "..."

   Zhou Yi opened his mouth:

   "Dead people are unlucky after all."

  He thought this incident was over, and the two dogs mentioned in the words were even more alienated, and he never thought that the other party would not let him go.

  Does this mean you want to eradicate weeds again?

"Humph!"

  Xu Liu's eyes flickered, his face was ferocious, he stared at Zhou Yi for a moment, Fang snorted coldly:

   "Brother Yi, it's not that I'm unreasonable, but that there are three or four people living in other houses, and you only live in one person in this house."

   "One person, one household, if you accept thirty yuan, others will not be convinced!"

   Zhou Yi's complexion changed slightly:

   "Liu Zi, what do you mean by that?"

   "One hundred Wen." Xu Liu raised his head and said:

   "It doesn't count as four people in a family, you just give one hundred cash, this month forget it."

   One hundred words!

   Zhou Yi's cheek twitched.

   "What's the matter?" Xu Liu observed his words, his eyes were cold:

   "Don't want to give it?"

   "Still can't get it out?"

   "..." Zhou Yi bowed his head, pondered for a moment before saying in a muffled voice:

"Hold on."

  Immediately turned around and entered the house, and waited for a while before coming out with copper coins strung together with straw, counting out a total of one hundred coins including the beginning and handing them over.

   "Tsk tsk..."

  Xu Liu took the money, with a look of surprise on his face, and kept tsk-tsk in his mouth:

   "I can't tell, Brother Yi is still a rich man."

   "Don't worry, my six sons mean what they say, forget it this month, but don't forget to prepare the money for next month in advance, it can't be less!"

   As he spoke, he weighed the copper coins, stuffed them into his purse, and walked away with a smile on his face.

   "Qi Shan, pay the money!"

   "Sister-in-law Qian, I haven't seen you for a while, your complexion is quite rosy!"

   "..."

  Xu Liu greeted triumphantly, and all the others greeted him respectfully with fear in their eyes. This attitude made him smile brighter and brighter.

   Feeling superior to others, simply enjoy it!

  Zhou Yi watched the other party leave, pursed his lips, and went back to the room behind closed doors.
