Strange World: My Systematic Practice Life

East District, Xinglong Street.

A dark-skinned, one-eyed man was standing quietly in front of the signboard.

In his hand, he held a blood-stained cobblestone.

The only remaining one eye flashed an icy cold color.

"Trash, even a person can be lost, even dead."

"Master, that kid can come back from the western suburbs, and survived being chased by Brother Niu and the others. His strength should not be weak. Could it be that he has some background as a child of those families?"

Beside the one-eyed man, a hunchbacked man with a stooped figure said in a low voice with a thoughtful expression.

"Children of the family?" Wang Long's one-eyed move landed on the signboard.

"Do you think the children of the family will be free and come here to accept these boring commissions?"

"Or do you think those family members will be short of the money entrusted?"

"Hmph! The kid who drove the wolf has already received the reward, and now he comes to this sign to accept the commission. What does this mean? It means that he is short of money."

Having said that, the corners of Wang Long's mouth raised into a sneer.

"So this kid is probably a lucky one who stepped into the martial arts by chance. As long as you capture this kid and question him, maybe there will be some unexpected gains."

Hearing this, the hunchbacked man's face suddenly revealed a look of surprise.

He couldn't help being more and more in awe of himself, the hall master.

Everyone in the gang said that Wang Long, the hall master of the Eastern District, was a simple-minded guy with well-developed limbs. Only as a confidant did he know that the outside world's evaluation was just Wang Long's appearance. More than anything.

"It's just that the boy has disappeared now. Judging from Liu Liu's death, it's likely that the boy knows that our dental gang has already set his sights on him. If he hides behind closed doors, I'm afraid we won't be able to find him out."

"Hmph, the outer city is only that big, I want to see where he can hide."

"Entrust me to find out all the signs that will be removed in the afternoon, and send someone to keep an eye on them. I want to see if that kid wants money or life!"

"Yes! Hall Master."

"I didn't expect the little brother to be a martial artist who has achieved success in cultivation, but my eyes are clumsy."

With a look of joy on his face, the elegant man bowed to Bailu.

"Okay, tell me about your daughter." Bailu waved his hand.

"To be honest, I have never met my daughter. I only know that the little girl's name is Du Yuzhu, and she should be six or seven years old. The little brother should be able to find it when he goes to Yejuan Village and inquires about it."

"Haven't you seen your daughter?" Egret frowned slightly.

As if afraid that Bailu might misunderstand, the middle-aged man quickly explained.

"Speaking of Du, who was lonely and widowed all his life, he had a bosom friend a few years ago. Later, due to various reasons, he couldn't separate him. It wasn't until a few days ago that he found out that he had a young girl in the village, so—"

The middle-aged man spoke slowly with memories on his face, but was interrupted by Bailu before he finished speaking.

"Okay, I see, I will bring your daughter here in these two days."

He wasn't interested in such bloody stories.

"In that case, Du Chengfang will thank the little brother first."

The middle-aged man Du Chengfang was interrupted by the egret, but he was not annoyed but slightly embarrassed.

Soon, as if thinking of something, he said hastily.

"This entrustment is quite dangerous. I know that the reward of ten taels of silver is not much. Since my friend is a warrior, although Du's ancestors were all literati, they have quite a collection of ancient books and fragments. Wait a moment, my friend." moment."

With that said, Du Chengfang turned around and went up the stairs thumping.

The floor squeaked and wailed, and it might break at some point.

Bai Lu was a little puzzled, he could tell that this man surnamed Du was quite educated.

But he didn't pay too much attention to the fragments of ancient books he said.

After all, Dayu had promulgated some restrictions on the free circulation of martial arts skills when the country was founded.

Coupled with the fact that martial arts are quite precious, he doesn't think these literati can have any great collections.

He glanced at the dilapidated buildings in the bookstore.

Especially these literati who have been in decline for an unknown period of time.

Thinking this way in his heart, Bailu still waited in place and did not leave. He randomly picked out a book from the surrounding bookshelves and flipped through it.

Not long after, the sound of footsteps on the attic sounded again, and Du Chengfang walked down the stairs slowly.

Still holding something in his hand.

"Little friend, since you have accepted Du's entrustment, this fragmented paper should be used as a deposit in advance, and the remaining ten taels of silver will be given to you by Du when Xiaoyou comes back."

After speaking, he handed over the things in his hand.

Egret didn't refuse and took the things.

This is an ancient book that has turned yellow.

Only a few thin pages.

Even the characters used on it are somewhat different from the current Dayu official characters, but fortunately, the differences are not too big, and they can be barely recognized.

"This is an ancient book collected by my ancestors from the previous dynasty. I have also studied it. It is a method that can enhance the digestion ability of the stomach. Although it is somewhat incomplete, it should still serve as a reference."

Du Chengfang explained.

"Enhance digestion!"

Bai Lu took a few glances at the ancient book, his eyes lit up, he put it in his bag, and cupped his hands.

"This method is useful to me, so I will leave first, and I will bring your daughter back as soon as possible."

"Then I'll be in trouble, little friend." Du Chengfang bowed back and watched Bailu leave.

And he returned to the attic again, took out a picture scroll from an exquisite wooden box, unfolded it carefully, and stared at a woman standing leaning on an umbrella on the picture scroll, fascinated.

"Cooking cakes, freshly baked cooking cakes, crisp and crisp."

After leaving the bookstore, Bailu was about to leave when he heard the sound of hawking from across the street, and the faint fragrance of cooking cakes poured into his nostrils.

Bailu paused, and couldn't help thinking of the sesame seed cakes from his previous life.

"Boss, here are five pancakes."

"Okay."

The seller of cooking cakes is an elderly and thin old man.

Hearing the arrival of guests, he quickly took out some biscuits from the stove and packed them.

After receiving the biscuits, Bailu chewed and walked out of the street.

The black pancakes have no taste.

It is far inferior to the taste of the previous life.

But he ate with relish.

Zhuoshui Street, Niu's blacksmith shop.

"Master Niu, is what I want ready?"

A clear voice sounded.

Niu Qiao, who was sinking his head into polishing the hoe in his hand, raised his head subconsciously.

There was a person standing at the door, dressed in pitch-black padded clothes, with a thin body and a pair of bright and sharp eyes, which reminded Niu Jianjiu of the mountain eagle entrenched in the sky.

"It's you, young man. You came at the right time. Your things were just packed this morning, and I'm waiting for you to get them."

There was a smile on Niu's firm and red face, and he turned and went into the warehouse. When he came out, he was already carrying a black cloth package and a circle-shaped object.

"Fifteen iron balls you want, plus an iron ring. The iron materials used according to your requirements are all good things. Your ten taels of silver are not in vain."

"It's troublesome." Bailu took the package and thanked her.

I tried wearing the iron ring the size of a palm on my hand, and it felt cold against the skin, not too big or too small, just right for it.

This is the knuckle that Egret asked Niu Jianji to make a few days ago.

His kung fu is all in his hands, which is undoubtedly more suitable than knuckles such as swords.

It is also more convenient to carry and also easy to hide.

In order to enhance the lethality, Egret also specially made Niu Riku to forge the knuckles, grinding out several sharp edges and corners on the outside.

Coupled with his strength several times that of ordinary people, the damage he can cause with one blow is unimaginable.
