It is now spring, the season when a hundred flowers bloom, and the temperature in the ruined temple is suitable.

Xiao Qi rested on the pillow with one hand, crossed his legs, and gnawed steamed buns on the bed made of withered grass.All the muscles in her body relaxed, which was a moment of relaxation she had never had before.

Shangzhou City was originally a Buddhist holy place with many temples, but now most of them are deserted.There are also quite a few ruined temples left behind, the ruined temple where Xiao Qi and Rong Chu lived was even more dilapidated, there were no beggars to compete with them, and they were able to occupy a single room.

After waking up that day, four or five days later, sister forced her to lie down to recuperate, and she was not allowed to go to work before recovering.

Feeling the strength of her body growing day by day, she thought in her mind to find a way to earn some money, and then persuade her sister to go to the Northwest Military Camp.

In troubled times, only power and force can protect everything.

Entering the barracks again, she will be able to quickly accumulate military merits and gain a place in the army.

At that time, hide far away from the capital, buy a house and live a normal life with sister.

Rong Chu went to work in the restaurant early in the morning, Xiao Qi had great strength and a big appetite, his savings were only a few tens of pennies, it was not enough to sit and eat.She won't come back until nightfall, Xiao Qi has enough time to earn enough money.

In her previous life, she had been staying in the military camp, and there was nothing to spend money on. After becoming a general, she was rewarded with a lot of money. Even if she was forced to live in the prince's inner house, her food and drink expenses were the best.The feeling of having no money is really... a thing of the previous life.

She swallowed the last mouthful of steamed buns, poured a few sips of cold water into her belly, turned over, and walked straight into the city.

Shangzhou City is the most popular place for buying and selling business. There is an endless stream of businessmen and jugglers from other places, which makes it more and more lively.

Luoyuan Street, located in the center of Shangzhou City, is the most prosperous street in the city.

None of the stalls in the market are the same, and there is a one-stop process of eating, drinking and having fun.

There was a lot of people's voices here, Xiao Qi turned a deaf ear to it, just walked forward blindly without looking sideways, and stopped in front of an inconspicuous building.It looks out of place in the middle of the juggling and cross talk booths on the left and right.

There are three large characters in front of the door: Arena.

Just renting a stall on Luoyuan Street is not cheap, but this arena actually occupies an entire three-story building.Although its appearance is not good, the people who come and go in it are all desperadoes who participate in wrestling, and rich children with a lot of spare money.

Wrestling is not a business. It was called wrestling in the previous dynasty, but now it is called wrestling.

The gladiatorial arena is different from other places. You don't pay for your life if you fall to death in the arena. If you sign a life and death certificate, you can get a lot of money if you win.Therefore, this place has always been the first choice for desperadoes.

In the arena, there is only one rule - bare hands, other than that, any kung fu is allowed.

All the wrestlers practice arm kung fu, some waist kung fu, and some leg kung fu. All of them have unusual bodies and are stronger than ordinary people.And because a lot of blood was stained on their hands, the faces of people who come and go here are full of evil spirits.

Xiao Qi took off his ragged coat and signaled to the big man guarding the gate that he did not carry any sharp weapons.After the big man nodded, she pushed the door open and entered.The inside of the building seems to be a completely different world from the outside. The wooden door blocks the noise outside and separates it from the laughter and laughter outside.

On the fighting platform in the center of the hall, there are two burly men, stronger than the gatekeepers, wearing girdles and long boots.A crowd of onlookers surrounded the fighting platform, applauding each other's favorite brawny men at the moment.

One of them had a big beard and his arms were a bit thicker than ordinary people, and the other had a scar running across his face, making him even more vicious.

The two were circling, and the bearded man was obviously better at using his arms. He stepped forward a few times and wanted to overturn the scarred face with his arms.

Upstairs are the private rooms built around the hall, separated from each other, and they are all the gentry and rich people in Shangzhou City, surrounded by special servants, so that they can bet on the winner of the casino.

Panting, sweat, blood, dust... There is no civilization and etiquette here, only violence and shouting, showing a bit of cruelty in the beast world in the dim light.

Xiao Qi walked slowly to the counter.

When signing up, the boss just raised his eyes lazily: "Little brat, you don't even have full hair yet. Don't overestimate your capabilities. Go home as soon as possible."

Rough words are not rough, Xiao Qi lacks food and clothing all year round, he is not small, but he looks like a bamboo pole has turned into a fine man, and there is a bit of weakness on his face that has just recovered from a serious illness, and his childishness can't be concealed.

Compared with the fierce big man in the field, it is really nothing to see.

The onlookers also booed and ridiculed——

"Little brat, go home and nurse!"

"Haha, are you the only one who dares to go on stage? I can crush you to death with one finger!"

"What do the guards at the gate do? Put such a small thing in?"

She ignored the crowd, ignored the contempt in the eyes of others, and just said lightly: "I understand the rules, bring the life and death status."

Seeing that she insisted on this, the boss didn't say much.

People who seek death by themselves cannot be stopped, so he has seen a lot of people who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and he can't persuade them to come back, so he simply doesn't waste his words.

After signing the certificate of life and death, Xiao Qi found a corner and quietly waited for the end of this gladiatorial fight.

She closed her eyes slightly, feeling the excitement in her body, which was the desire for blood and violence.

After many years of fighting on the battlefield, she has long been used to speaking with her fists. After being exposed to the systematic learning in the military camp with her natural strength, she shines on the battlefield.For her, the shadow of sword, light and sword that others can't avoid is like a fish in water.

After being imprisoned by the prince, there is no room for him to display his abilities. The tiger with its teeth pulled out can only pretend to be a docile big cat.

And the battle that killed her was even more aggrieved, and the body of the mansion will not be able to display one percent of the heroism of the year.What a shame!

This time I came here, besides winning money, I wanted to vent the emotions that have been pent up in my heart for a long time.All this can only be quelled by the venting of blood and flesh.

Louder cheers came from next to his ears, Xiao Qi opened his eyes, and saw that the scarred face was held up high by the bearded man's feet. Shengsheng threw his scarred face to the ground, and in an instant, blood spattered everywhere.

The person whose face was splashed with blood not only did not get angry, but became even more excited, shouting loudly: "Kill him! Kill him!"

Victory and defeat.

A guy stepped forward and dragged his scarred face down, the bearded man raised his fist high, enjoying the honor and joy brought by the victory, and walked around the sidelines shouting: "Who else!"

He is waiting for the next person who dares to play.

Even desperadoes will not engage in fights that are obviously useless.

All around fell silent for a while, only the sound of rough breathing remained.

Everyone in the field looked at each other in blank dismay, the excitement and joy brought by the onlookers still remained on their faces, but no one dared to move.

"I'll do it." Xiao Qi said calmly, his low voice was very clear at this moment, the crowd that surrounded the arena sniffed and looked at her, and laughed again after seeing that she was half a child.

It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and they smiled back, but they also dispersed, leaving an aisle for her to pass through.

***

Xiao Qi got up on the stage and saluted first: "My lord, Xiao Qi, I dare you to enlighten me."

The serious look of the small boy made the bearded man a little bit amused.

His waist is not as thick as his own arms, it feels a bit like bullying a child.

The bearded man sized him up for a long while, but he still bowed in a low voice. In the world of warriors, age is not considered a factor. Since you stand in this arena, you have to bear the consequences.The big deal is that I should be gentle when the time comes to prevent him from crying.

Xiao Qi withdrew his right leg, squatted down slightly, opened his posture, and then rushed up first.

The most effective way to face ridicule is to speak with strength.

In the eyes of others, her fist landed on the strong man as if it was tickling, and it had no effect at all.

The boy sideways avoided a blow from the strong man, and then punched the ground, each punch was heavier than the next.

Just punch, dodge, elbow, kick, punch, dodge, back...

During the movements, Xiao Qi gradually got used to this body that had not been systematically trained, and became familiar with the strength and angle of the attack. The gap of more than ten years gradually narrowed, and then, he mastered it.

The beggar who grew up on the streets knew every road in the city and knew where it was.When she couldn't survive the famine in her previous life, she also tried it.But the body that has not eaten for too long, even the strength has weakened a lot, how can it be the opponent of these brutal and experienced people?

He could only be beaten passively, and was lucky to save his life, but he barely recovered after lying in the ruined temple for a month.

But this time, she won't repeat the same mistakes.

The scene at this time was really a bit funny, the young man kept punching and dodging, it was like being bitten by a mosquito to the stable man, really, it was nothing to watch.

The expected disappointment of the audience, the children's fights were really hard to arouse their interest after seeing the big scene.

Only the bearded man himself knew how hard this frail young man punched, it penetrated all the muscles of his body, reaching to the bones and internal organs, and the place where he was hit was painful everywhere.After a while, he suffered some hidden injuries.

He forcibly swallowed the blood welling up in his mouth, and punched the boy with all his strength.At this point in the battle, he no longer dared to ignore this little boy.

In Xiao Qi's eyes, every movement of the bearded man is full of loopholes, he can judge the movement path by himself when he moves his shoulders, and the adjustment with the body is almost the same, so she decided to make a quick decision.

Leaning forward to avoid the big hand waving from the bearded man, he slid to the back of the big man, Xiao Qi poured all his strength into his right leg, and while jumping up, he turned sideways and kicked, the slender leg that seemed to be crushed was stable Kick the bearded man in the back.

With a bang, the big man fell to the ground.

The splashed dust caused the onlookers in the front row to squint their eyes, and the boy's jump seemed to be a powerful slap on the face.

The noisy crowd was silent for a few moments, and after accepting the established facts, they cheered vigorously.

Xiao Qi ignored everyone, bowed to the bearded man, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I offended you so much."

She glanced around and asked loudly: "Who else wants to compete with me?"

Even if Xiao Qi did defeat the very powerful Bearded Man, more people still tend to believe that the Bearded Man was exhausted by the previous fights, which allowed such a brat to take advantage of him.There are still many people who come to challenge her.

After defeating two unbelieving and provocative big men one after another, Xiao Qi took the 30 taels reward from the boss and stepped out.
