The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 5: The Bad
After successfully practicing the iron shirt and gaining some experience, Chen Pingan wanted to continue practicing with all his strength.

However, the feeling in his body told him that he could not go on.

After a day off, he will have to go to work tomorrow. It will take a lot of effort and energy, so Chen Pingan thought about it and decided to leave it at that for today and continue tomorrow.

After packing up his practice clothes, Chen Pingan washed up casually and prepared to go to bed.

Chen Erya finished washing up early and was waiting for him in bed.

Ordinary families have limited space at home, so there is no need to be so particular between brothers and sisters. Since childhood, Chen Pingan and Chen Erya have slept on the same bed.

Of course, the beds are made individually.

"Brother, you have practiced martial arts well."

Chen Erya said excitedly.

"Yes."

Chen Pingan responded and got into his own bed. The bed was made by Chen Erya in advance.

"Nannan, your brother will be on duty tomorrow. You will be home alone, so don't just eat a casual lunch. Remember to eat something good. We still have a lot of eggs today, so feel free to eat them tomorrow. There is also some leftover beef, so you don't have to save it for your brother, just eat it all."

Chen Pingan, who knew Chen Erya's character well, gave instructions.

"I have ten days left to pay back the money I owe. My brother is the only one earning money to support the family, and the pressure is already great. If I really eat like my brother says, how can I live like this~"

Ten days later, she would need to pay back the fourteen taels of silver to Master Xiaohu, including the principal and interest. This had undoubtedly become a concern for Chen Erya.

"Nannan, don't worry about the food. Our family doesn't need that much. As for the money issue, I already have a solution."

Chen Pingan comforted.

Under the moonlight, Chen Erya looked at Chen Pingan with disbelief.

"Really? I didn't lie to you! How could I joke with you about something like this?"

Chen Ping'an half-lay down and reached out to touch Chen Erya's head.

In fact, he did have some ideas on how to collect the remaining money. However, if he wanted to implement his ideas, he still needed to take some risks.

There are still ten days left, no rush. Let's practice the Iron Shirt until we have mastered it!

"Really?"

"real!"

"I knew my brother would find a way."

Chen Erya smiled happily.

"Oh, by the way, don't worry about the money tomorrow, go buy some pork thighs, and then..."

Chen Pingan talked on and on.

The brother and sister talked for a long time, and Chen Erya finally felt sleepy and fell asleep.

As the moonlight fell, Chen Erya's face showed a peaceful expression, and her breathing was steady and orderly. It was like sleeping in her mother's arms. This was the feeling of dependence, and also the embrace of home. There was someone who would always stand by her side, facing the troubles of the world together.

The crossbar on the door bolt was kicked off during the day, so I'll take a look tomorrow when I'm on duty to see if I can get a suitable one. Using a stick to support the door is still too flimsy.

Well, it seems that Uncle Pan’s family in the alley still owes our family half a tael of silver. It has been some time. I will find some time to pay it back.

Now that he has started practicing martial arts, the family expenses for food, clothing and other expenses are no longer the same as before.

And Master Xiaohu promised today that he would pay back the money in ten days. But we must be prepared for him to change his mind. Although the probability of him changing his mind is not high, it cannot be ruled out. We still need to make some preparations and plans.

Also, I deliberately showed some hesitation during the day so that Little Tiger could see it. Unlike other gang members, Little Tiger looks big and strong, but he is actually delicate. Otherwise, he would not be valued by Tiger and trained as a successor. I can show courage appropriately, but not too much. This hesitation should be just right. Too little makes me seem too cunning, too much makes me seem useless and be bullied.
Under the moonlight, lying on the bed, Chen Pingan was thinking carefully.

Early the next morning, Chen Pingan drank a bowl of porridge and reported to the Nanquan Lane Zhenfu Division. Although he was not a registered official, he still had to abide by the relevant regulations like a formal official. In fact, in the implementation and management of some regulations, he would be more strict than a formal official.

When Chen Pingan arrived at the Nanquan Lane Zhenfu Division, many officers had already arrived. The positions of these officers were very obvious, with groups of three or two, five or six, and at a glance, they had their own factions.

However, these have little to do with Chen Pingan. His relationship in the Nanquan Lane Zhenfu Division is neither good nor bad. No one will deliberately make friends with him, nor will anyone deliberately do bad things to him.

After greeting a few familiar people, Chen Pingan found a corner and waited quietly.

"Ping An, you came later today than usual. In the past, you always came earlier than me."

A thin young man with a fierce look walked towards Chen Pingan.

"Monkey head. I went to bed late yesterday and took a nap a little longer this morning."

Looking at the person coming, Chen Pingan smiled.

The man's name was Hou Fugui, nicknamed Monkey Head. He was one of the few people with whom Chen Pingan had a good relationship in the Nanquanlixiang Zhenfu Division.

Hou Fugui, like him, was also an unregistered official of the Nanquan Lane Zhenfu Division. His family was engaged in the iron business, and the old man was tall and strong. I don't know why he looked like this.

The two exchanged a few words, and then another person walked in from outside the Zhenfu Division. After looking around for a while, he saw two people standing in the corner.

"Dashan, here!"

The monkey head greeted the newcomer.

"Safe, Monkey."

The man called Dashan walked towards them and greeted them with a smile.

Dashan has rough facial features, dark skin, a sturdy body, and looks very strong.

"Good morning, Dashan."

Chen Pingan greeted with a smile.

"Morning, peace."

Dashan responded with a silly smile.

Unlike Houtou, Dashan's family is just an ordinary farmer outside the county town. A few years ago, he accidentally helped the Zhenfu Division solve a case. In addition, he was quite strong, so he accidentally became an unregistered constable of the Zhenfu Division.

Although it was not included in the list, it was a great honor for the Dashan family. After a lifetime of digging for food in the soil, they never thought that Dashan's generation would be able to escape.

Speaking of which, Dashan's strength is not ordinary strength.

Once, Chen Ping'an saw with his own eyes that he easily lifted a stone as big as a millstone above his head.

As time went by, more and more officers came in from the gate of the Zhenfu Division.

Most of these officials who arrived late were official officials.

As the next person walked in, the noisy voices in the Nanquanli Lane Zhenfu Office immediately quieted down.

"Chariot leader Zheng is here."

The monkey said something in a low voice and stopped talking. Like everyone else, he looked straight at the person who came.

PS: Wai wai wai ~ Is anyone watching?
