Chapter 3 Depend on each other (revisited)
"Xiaoling, you seem to have made progress in stealing things. I can't even see it. It's a good thing." Kou Zhong praised while eating the stolen bun.
"Save some effort and see if there are any fat sheep!" Of course, Xu Ziling would not say that the reason why he can steal things without a trace is because of the storage function of the light jade slip.
When he saw several big gangsters turning around the street, he gently touched Kou Zhong with his arms.
How clever Kou Zhong is.
I immediately understood: "Go away."
"You two die for me..." The famous strong man shouted loudly in the distance. He was the gangster leader of these streets, Boss Yan.
"Boss Yan, isn't this Boss Yan? Xiaoling, Boss Yan is radiant and energetic today. It seems that he must have killed everyone in Chunfeng Tower last night!" Kou Zhong saw that he couldn't run away, and he was fighting, haha, as if he had just seen the other party.
"Pay the monthly payment right now, otherwise I will let you taste the taste of my iron fist." Boss Yan seemed to have bad luck in gambling recently, and Kou Zhong flattered and slapped the horse's legs.
"Monthly money, yes, I almost forgot to send it to you, Boss Yan... Oh my, I forgot to bring my treasure bag when I went out today. Xiaoling, did you forget to bring it too? I'm so sorry, Boss Yan, I'll send it to you tonight, and it's a lot of money!" Before Kou Zhong finished speaking, Boss Yan punched him in the stomach. Xu Ziling was about to step forward, but the two big gangsters had already pushed it away.
"This punch is a reminder. If I can't see a few taels of silver at night, be careful of your bad legs!" Boss Yan grabbed Kou Zhong and threw him at Xu Ziling's feet.
"Bastard..." Xu Ziling leaned over and saw that Kou Zhong was distorted in pain. He was about to help him up, but someone kicked him to the ground with one leg.
He has never learned any martial arts and is still a half-aged child. He can't beat these big gangsters who only know how to make three-legged cat skills. Under the opponent's beating, he doesn't even have the power to resist.
Xu Ziling was about to struggle to get up, but Kou Zhongfei rushed onto him and pressed him tightly.
With his equally thin body, he blocked Boss Yan's beating.
He covered Xu Ziling's mouth with one hand and signaled him not to speak. The more he spoke, the more fierce the other party would beat him!
Boss Yan and a few gangsters kicked Kou Zhong a few times, then stepped on the angry Xu Ziling a few times, laughed loudly, and left.
"You have to endure it, Xiaoling, you have to grit your teeth and endure it. When we grow up a little longer, it will not be too late to avenge this revenge slowly!" Kou Zhong pressed Xu Ziling tightly and prevented him from rising up to resist. Otherwise, Boss Yan would be brutal and beaten up again.
With the current strength of the two, it is impossible to fight against the boss.
Wiping away the bloody corners of his mouth, Xu Ziling felt that he would start practicing martial arts immediately and become stronger immediately. This was his only way out.
Although knowledge can change the whole life, if there is no strong force to ensure life, before it changes life, I believe that I will die first under the fist of ordinary gangsters.
"We go out of the city to hide. After a few days, Boss Yan forgot about this and we will come back!" Kou Zhong was about to use the word "escape".
"No, Xiaozhong, go watch the wind, I'll do it." Xu Ziling's previous consciousness was also invisibly influenced by the laws of later generations. His subconscious thought that theft was an illegal act. In order not to starve to death, he stole a few buns with a light jade slip. He was very calm in his heart, but he had to steal other people's money. He had always been very resistant in his heart, and he didn't want to become a thief. But now it seems that if he wants to survive, to realize his dream and become a thief, it would be helpless.
"I'll give you a knife... I'll run desperately if I fail, and leave it to me to do it later!" Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling divided the work and cooperated, one stuck in the target and the other started.
Because of insufficient techniques and experience, the two of them are often seen by others.
Of course, it is more because the rich are particularly wary of children who are dressed in tatters, because most of them are orphan pickpockets.
Little pickpockets like Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling may not care about the second time they appeared. After seeing too much, neighbors and neighbors have long known who they are. If you want to start, you must find strangers.
In this way, strangers will be more vigilant when they see a half-sized child in rags appearing around them.
It is natural to see through it, be beaten and scolded.
If you are captured by the guards, at least one finger must be cut off as punishment before you will let go. If you don’t like it, you will even kill it with one knife.
Life in this world is worth nothing!
"Go to the gambling stage!" If Xu Ziling went to steal ordinary people, he still felt a little guilty, because the money would not be much, and it was also likely that it would be the money for the whole family to survive. Once robbed, the whole family would starve to death.
But where does it have the most money?
Where did you steal money from? Not only did you feel guilty at all, but you would feel accomplished?
That's the gambling process!
"Xiaoling, once you find it, there is no place to run." Kou Zhong knew that going to the gambling stall would be easy to get money, but once he was discovered, he would be beaten to death by watching the scene.
"Don't worry, look at the wind and choose the retreat path. I will never find someone in a short time. I'm sure!" Xu Ziling patted Kou Zhong's shoulder and tried to whisper: "Don't come in. Don't move when I see me being searched when I go out. Believe me, I will definitely be able to deceive them!"
"I said Xiaoling, you really have you. You are much more courageous now than me!" A surprise flashed in Kou Zhong's eyes, and he punched Xu Ziling.
"I can't compare to you, Mr. Kou. I'm still worried about going to Chunfeng Tower to peek at Hong Gu's erotic courage in taking a bath... That's great!" Xu Ziling raised his hand and returned Kou Zhong's punch. The two of them laughed out loud, and the gloomyness of being bullied before was swept away.
Most gambling stalls have this feature, that is, the light is dim.
The voices inside were noisy and the air was turbid.
When Xu Ziling entered the door, he even asked the people watching the scene to push him, not allowing him to enter. It was not until Xu Ziling said that he had something urgent to look for Boss Yan and let him in.
The gambling table was filled with gamblers, all screaming at the top of their lungs, or slapping dominoes in a "slap". The dealer usually opens his hands, either cheers or curses. The gamblers' faces are greasy. If they bet smoothly, their faces are flushed and their veins are exposed. If they are bad luck, their faces are ashen or yellow as if they are waxed. If they lose all, they are dejected, like walking corpses.
When Xu Ziling came in, someone happened to lose and turned the table and got rotten.
Coins and silver all over the ground were sprinkled all over the floor.
Many greedy gamblers rushed forward to pick them up.
The dealer waved his hand, and more than a dozen big men who were protecting the field came forward and kicked them randomly, slapped them and smashed them hard, and beat the guy who had just turned over the table and dragged them out... Xu Ziling did not come forward to pick up the broken silver, which was a behavior of seeking death.
He hurriedly ran back with a few guys who picked up broken silver and reached out to touch their purse. Because of the storage function of the magnificent jade slip, all the things that Xu Ziling touched were naturally put into the storage space. In less than half a second, Xu Ziling used his consciousness to exchange the stones and the silver in the purse, and then sent the purse back to the belts of the guys to hang it.
In one second, a perfect exchange was completed... This is the magic of the light jade slip.
Without any notice, Xu Ziling took advantage of the chaos and hid in the distance.
The big man guarding the field chased the guy who picked up broken silver for searching his body.
Xu Ziling looked at it and smiled slightly.
Flash towards the door.
At the door, the people watching the scene suspected that Xu Ziling was a thief, but before they could search, Xu Ziling took off his clothes and pants, proving that he was just looking for someone, not a thief.
"Little bastard, get away!" The person watching the scene kicked him over.
Xu Ziling secretly mocked in his heart. He had long guessed that the other party had such a move, so he dodged slightly, and then ran away.
In the darkness, Kou Zhong's figure faintly.
"I'm scared to death... Xiaoling, if you don't come out, I'm going to set the fire! Fortunately you're fine, otherwise I... run, run!" Kou Zhong saw Xu Ziling safely return, and was ecstatic. He rushed out in the darkness. He first gave Xu Ziling a bear hug, then hurriedly took Xu Ziling's hand and ran forward desperately, for fear that someone would be discovered, so someone would catch up with him.
If orphans in troubled times do not depend on each other like Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, they will be difficult to survive by relying solely on the power of a single person.
Yang Guang fought against Goryeo three times, causing casualties and injuries to many soldiers and civilians, and leaving behind many orphans like Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, which is hard to calculate, and there are very few orphans who can survive in the end.
Not to mention children, even adults, they are hungry all over the world.
"Xiaoling, are you okay?" Kou Zhong arrived at a safe place. The first thing he asked was not whether he had obtained the money, but whether Xu Ziling was injured.
"I'm fine." Xu Ziling took out a few ingots of broken silver from his arms, counted them, and found that there were three or three taels. He couldn't help but say happily: "Xiao Zhong, do you want to take revenge? Do you want to beat Boss Yan?"
"I think, I dream of it, but we can beat him... do you have a way?" Kou Zhong pressed Xu Ziling's shoulder ecstatically.
"We will do this later... When we arrived at Chunfeng Tower, we beat Boss Yan hard. Not only did we have to beat him, but we also beat him in front of everyone, so that Boss Yan would be beaten willingly, so that he would be relieved!" If Xu Ziling was just the gangster in the past, of course he would not think of a good way to beat Boss Yan. However, now he is a time traveler a thousand years later, and he is also a simplified person, and it is not easy to think of a solution.
As soon as he said that the method of beating Boss Yan was so insidious that Kou Zhong almost made him laugh for three hours.
Most importantly, Kou Zhong did not doubt whether Xu Ziling could succeed. As long as Xu Ziling had ideas, he would support him 100%.
Kou Zhong may not trust himself.
