The Wheel-Turning Master

"Life is hard, only by strengthening yourself can you live well."

Determined, Lin Bai began to train desperately again.

One night passed quickly, and when it was Mao time, Lin Bai woke up on time.

It was still dark, and the coolness had not disappeared.

From Xu time to Mao time, it was about ten hours, and more than forty days had passed in the stone plate. Lin Bai never stopped, and basically practiced according to the sword manual.

Mainly horse stance, and exercise the strength of arms and wrists.

Although it was extremely boring, the stone plate space seemed to calm people's minds, and there was no feeling of boredom and depression.

Especially after seeing the arrogance of Niu Er and Qi Wangzu yesterday, Lin Bai knew that if he didn't become stronger, he would only become a fish in this era, so he was determined to practice hard.

Lin Bai raised his hand and kicked his legs, feeling full of strength, as if he had endless energy.

After practicing hard for so long, it still worked.

He wanted to wash, but the water tank was empty, so Lin Bai went out with a wooden bucket.

It was not yet bright, but there were already pedestrians on the street, and the aroma of Mu Zhen's bun shop could be smelled in the distance.

After leaving the alley and walking a hundred steps forward, there was a well under the big locust tree.

The well was an old well, and the water was clear and sweet. People from several nearby alleys came here to fetch water to drink. At this time, more than a dozen people had lined up.

They were all neighbors, and they knew the situation of Lin Bai's family. When they saw Lin Bai, they greeted him one by one and asked about his condition. Lin Bai just smiled and responded.

Poor people have little entertainment, and anyone can talk about any little thing in their family, let alone Lin Bai who has been bedridden for a long time.

Both buckets were only half filled with water. Lin Bai picked up the load, held the hook with both hands, and walked home.

Having just recovered from a serious illness, Lin Bai didn't want to attract attention, so he only carried half a bucket of water, and even pretended to be shaky.

He walked back and forth five times before he filled the water tank at home.

After a simple wash, he lit a fire and washed rice.

After getting breakfast, Lin Bai picked up the bamboo basket, walked out of the alley to the street, and then went out of the city, setting up a stall outside the north gate of Huaxi County.

Everything was normal, no different from the past.

At noon, Niu Er came to patrol the streets again, but he didn't take Lin Bai seriously. He just asked for some fruits from the farmers who came to sell vegetables, and ate them with a few followers in the shade.

Lin Bai carried the burden, went to the market early, and went home to practice hard.

In the next few days, Lin Bai only went to the market for one hour in the morning, and stayed at home for the rest of the time.

On the sixth day, the weather was particularly hot and humid, and by the evening, the sky became gloomy, but the rain was slow to fall.

Lin Bai stood under the eaves, holding the flying knife in his hand.

Six days have passed since he practiced the art of flying knives. Lin Bai practiced diligently in the stone plate space every day. If you calculate the time carefully, it is almost equivalent to more than a year of hard practice.

Although it cannot be called a great achievement, it is a complete transformation compared to the past.

His arm and waist strength are strong, and his lower body is stable. Now he can easily stand in horse stance for a whole morning without any signs of fatigue.

Lin Bai and Qi Wangzu agreed to stay for ten days, but it is obviously going to rain tonight, so he must seize the opportunity and not hesitate.

Besides, what if Qi Wangzu breaks the appointment and has to drive people away in advance?

In this world, if you don't kill someone, others will eat you.

It is very hot outside, and there is already a storm, just waiting for the next exciting battle at night.

Having made up his mind, Lin Bai looked outside.

The jujube tree in the yard is crisp, and it is so hot that even the cicadas are weak.

Lin Bai holds a flying knife in his hand, staring at the jujube tree, and suddenly the flying knife is used, and the cicadas stop chirping.

Going forward to check, the flying knife has nailed the summer cicada to the jujube tree.

"Although the flying knife skills are not yet fully developed, they are enough to deal with Qi Wangzu."

"Qi Wangzu has been hanging around on the streets since he was a child. He is only strong in muscles and bones, but he has no martial arts skills."

"Although he joined the Axe Gang, the Axe Gang is just a small gang in the poor North City, making a living by gambling and secret doors. What martial arts can they pass on to Qi Wangzu? Even if there are, Qi Wangzu is old, how much can he learn?"

"The enemy is in the open and we are in the dark, and it is a sneak attack, so we are careful and unintentional. It may work."

"Of course, if it works, everything is fine. If not, flee immediately!"

Pulling out the flying knife, Lin Bai went to the kitchen to get the hatchet.

Pour water on the whetstone and sharpen the knife again and again.

It was already night, and there was no trace of the stars and the moon.

There were still cicadas chirping in the distance, and dogs barking faintly on the street.

Lin Bai's sweat dripped from his chin onto the grindstone. He was not panicking, but felt extremely energetic and excited.

It was late at night, the sky was still gloomy, and there was no wind.

Lin Bai wrapped the sharpened hatchet with sackcloth to prevent being seen by others due to reflection. People go to bed late in summer, and there is no curfew in Huaxi County. Who knows who you might meet on the road.

He changed into a light outfit with tight sleeves and sackcloth covering his face, holding the flying knife in his hand and the hatchet behind his back.

After going out, Lin Bai just walked along the wall. Every time he reached an intersection, he stopped and looked around.

There were no pedestrians on the road, only the sound of the night watchman's clapper in the distance.

Qi Wangzu's house was not far from Lin Bai's house, only three streets away. Lin Bai was cautious and took nearly two quarters of an hour to find the door of Qi Wangzu's house.

His house was also a small courtyard, not bigger than Lin Bai's. It can be seen that it is difficult to get rich by joining a gang.

Lin Bai walked around twice and determined the escape route if the plan failed. Then he climbed over the wall and landed gently in the yard.

There was light in the bedroom, the window was wide open, and there were voices of men and women talking.

Lin Bai held the flying knife in his hand, leaned over to the window of the room, and listened with bated breath.

"You come back later and later now. Don't tell me you have a vixen outside?" A woman's voice came from the room, which seemed charming.

This woman should be Qi Wangzu's wife. Lin Bai couldn't remember her name, but she was surnamed Yan, and it seemed to be Yan Xi.

"There are many things to do in the gang, so I have to patrol, right?" Qi Wangzu didn't have any of his former sinister airs, but was careful to please.

"I've never seen you so busy before!" Yan complained.

Qi Wangzu sighed, "Recently, the Qinglong Gang has been fighting with us and wants to grab the territory. The meaning of the higher-ups is that they want to have a fight."

"I don't care about the fighting and killing of you men. Just talking about Lin Bai, do you care about his affairs? My brother has grown up and is waiting to live in his house! You don't even have your brother-in-law in your eyes, do you still have me?" Yan's tone rose a little.

"Isn't this too busy?" Qi Wangzu tried to please her carefully. "I'll go there tomorrow and make sure everything is arranged properly! When Lin leaves home, I'll kill him and eliminate all future troubles!"

"I told you long ago that you should kill him while he's sick." Yan was still unhappy.

"We still have to avoid suspicion. The leader won't let us make too much trouble over there. Don't worry, it will be done this time!" Qi Wangzu laughed and made some moves.

"You idiot! What are you so impatient about?" Yan's voice was coquettish.

"I work for my brother-in-law, so my wife shouldn't serve me well?" Qi Wangzu laughed obscenely.

The noise in the room gradually faded, and only the sound of people taking off clothes and some unbearable sounds could be heard.

Lin Bai was quietly watching under the window. He knew what was going on and made up his mind: when the couple was making love and not knowing what the world was, he would suddenly take action! Double kill!

The worst thing to do when killing someone is to hesitate, just do it as soon as you say it!

Lin Bai immediately took off the hatchet he was carrying, removed the sackcloth wrapped around it, held the hatchet in one hand, and held the flying knife in the other.

But just as he was looking for an opportunity to sneak in, there was suddenly no movement in the house.

"Did you find me? Why is it suddenly quiet?"

Lin Bai did not dare to act rashly, just held his breath and listened quietly, while looking around.

There was nothing unusual, but there was a panting sound in the house.

"Is it done? Isn't this too fast?"

Lin Bai held the knife, feeling that the plan could not keep up with the changes.
