I'm catching monsters in Liaozhai

After Tan Ming left.

Xu Lang ate something to fill his stomach at the inn.

After eating, he planned to go out for a walk.

It’s a rare visit to the county town, so it would be a pity not to visit it.

Although Xu Lang absorbed the memory of the original owner, he was no stranger to Shicheng County.

But that was just a memory after all, and he had yet to truly experience what life was like for people in ancient cities.

Just like, you have read many books and know many things.

However, it will never feel as good as experiencing it in person.

Moreover, due to various reasons, the original owner had not been to the county seat a few times in total.

Xu Lang is not a person who likes shopping, he just wants to be fresh.

"Sir, do you need any help?"

Seeing Xu Lang passing by, the shopkeeper who was making calculations asked.

Because Xu Lang was a guest arranged by the yamen, the shopkeeper was particularly enthusiastic.

"No, you're busy, I'm just going to go out for a walk."

Xu Lang walked out of the inn.

As the only city within a radius of fifty or sixty miles, there is no doubt that Shicheng County is lively.

In this era, although men were still superior to women, there were no strict rules that required women to stay at home.

Therefore, Xu Lang would see many pretty or graceful figures walking on the street from time to time.

Beauty is beauty.

But it's not absolutely stunning.

-

Old man Xue is a farmer living more than ten miles away from Shicheng County.

I once had a son.

However, due to a turmoil many years ago, his son who joined the army died in battle.

Never came back.

Only he and his wife were left to depend on each other.

Although their lives are difficult, they are also happy.

But not long ago, my wife fell ill.

You have to see a doctor and buy medicine.

The doctor looked at him, but he no longer had any money left on him for medicine.

last resort.

He had no choice but to sell the three old hens he had at home.

Neighbors said that since there are many rich people in the county, they might be able to make more money from selling.

then.

He picked up the old hen and came to the county seat.

Just now.

He has successfully sold one.

The price is indeed higher than elsewhere.

Sold for 66 Wen.

But the money hasn’t stopped the heat yet.

But someone came to collect protection money.

Three slutty bastards.

He asked for a hundred cents in protection money.

"You three, I only sold a chicken for 66 cents. Isn't your price too high?" Old Man Xue almost begged.

One hundred pennies.

There was none on him.

"This is the rule of our Black Panther Gang. If you don't want to give it, that's fine. We have no choice but to take these two chickens."

A gangster said so.

While he was talking, the two people beside him were already catching the chickens in the chicken coop.

"You can't do this?"

Old man Xue stepped forward to stop him.

"Get out of my way!"

The two gangsters who reached out to grab the chicken pushed Old Man Xue away.

Old man Xue was old and couldn't walk safely. What's more, he fell backwards after receiving such a forceful push.

By chance, his head hit the stone pillar behind him, causing him to bleed instantly.

There are already many people around.

But no one dared to step forward to help.

Because these three people are from the Black Panther Gang.

This area is governed by the Black Panther Gang.

Many people are already used to this kind of forced collection of protection fees.

"You can't go!"

The three of them were about to leave with the chicken. Old man Xue was anxious and ignored his injury. He quickly got up and rushed to get the chicken back.

These two chickens.

Not only the chicken, but also money for his wife’s medicine and life.

There is no money to sell chickens.

His wife was left to die.

"You damn old man, it's endless, isn't it? Fuck you..."

The gangster who didn't have the chicken in his hand turned around and kicked Old Man Xue in the chest.

This kick is really strong.

With Old Man Xue's physique, he might lose half his life.

Many people are afraid to go see it.

"boom--!"

A dull voice sounded.

Someone flew out.

But it's not Old Man Xue, but that gangster.

And in front of old man Xue, at some point, stood a scholar in green shirt.

"Ah——, it hurts me to death!"

The gangster covered his chest and then his butt, feeling severe pain from both front and back.

The chest was kicked.

The butt was broken.

"Made, where does this kid dare to meddle in other people's business?"

The other two gangsters with chickens in their hands stopped walking and looked at the scholar in green shirt coldly.

But then, their brows frowned again.

Because the scholar in green shirt carries a sword on his back.

It's not that they are afraid of the scholar in blue shirt carrying a sword, but that most people carrying swords these days are not ordinary people.

"Keep the chicken!"

The scholar in green shirt spoke calmly.

"Mad, you just come out with a sword and show off, right? I think you want to die? How dare you interfere with what our Black Panther Gang does?"

The two gangsters spoke again.

Although Xu Lang carries a sword and may not be ordinary people, they are not ordinary people either.

They are from the Black Panther Gang.

The Black Panther Gang is the largest force in the underworld in Shicheng County. Even the people in the yamen have to give them some face, but now a kid like you dares to make such a noise.

Immediately.

One of the gangsters handed the chicken in his hand to another person, then pulled a long wooden stick from the side, waved it and rushed towards the scholar in blue shirt.

The scholar in green shirt just stood there. The moment the long stick fell, he suddenly grabbed one end of the long stick with one hand.

This area from now on.

The gangster suddenly lost his balance and fell towards him.

The scholar in green shirt flew up and kicked him on the chin, causing the latter to fall on his back instantly.

There was blood in his mouth.

"Bring the chicken back!"

The scholar in green shirt looked at the man holding two chickens and said.

"Take your ma--!"

The person who spoke was the one who was kicked by the scholar in green shirt first. He was obviously very unconvinced. I don’t know when he also had a long stick in his hand.

While he was yelling, the long stick in his hand had already hit the scholar in green shirt on the head.

The scholar in green shirt frowned, stepped aside, and then took a step forward, already appearing in front of the gangster.

The gangster didn't seem to expect that the scholar in blue would be so fast. When he wanted to retreat, it was already too late.

"Crack——!"

He only felt another pain in his chest, and his whole body was knocked out again.

When landing.

The friction between my butt and the stone slab on the ground made it even more painful.

"You haven't got it back yet?"

Xu Lang's eyes fell on the man holding the chicken again.

The man's face twitched and he quickly put the two chickens back into the chicken coop.

"Are we not done with this yet?"

The man who was beaten twice was very unconvinced and kept shouting.

He was beaten on his own territory.

If you don't get this face back.

This makes it difficult for him to stay with the Black Panther Gang in the future.

The scholar in green shirt said nothing and walked towards him step by step.

The man was so frightened that he scrambled, using his hands and feet, and kept moving his butt back.

But the speed of moving one's butt cannot be compared to that of walking.

The scholar in green shirt stepped on his chest and said, "Then you stay, and I'll see why you're not done with me?"
