Chapter 2 Three Tigers in the Sky
Lin Xiqi was familiar with the streets of Gushan Town. Although he was only ten years old, he had been to Gushan Town with Fu Yunzi three times, and he was quite familiar with him here.
Suddenly, Lin Xiqi's ears moved, his eyes lit up, and his feet accelerated a few steps.
"Sauce cakes, Dalang Sauce cakes, fragrant Sauce cakes~~"
"Stinky tofu~~~"
"How much is the fragrant and sweet candied haws? It's cheap, a penny for a bun~~"
...
Various hawking sounds mixed with the bargaining sounds of people on the street, which was very lively.
Lin Xiqi quickly squeezed into a stall selling candied haws. Looking at the red candied haws, he couldn't help but wipe the saliva that almost flowed down his mouth with his cuffs.
"I want ten strings!" Lin Xiqi handed over the ten copper coins in his hand and said.
The boss heard Lin Xiqi's words and saw the ten copper coins in his hand. He smiled happily on his face. He quickly took down ten strings of candied haws and handed them to Lin Xiqi.
"I have to give my eighth senior brother five strings when I go back. Lin Xiqi, hold it back. Now I'll eat it, I'll eat it again when I go back!" Lin Xiqi hurriedly wrapped these ten strings of candied haws in paper and stuffed them into the bag on his back, muttering in his heart, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back to eat these ten strings when he looked at them again.
"Little brother, wait." When Lin Xiqi turned around and left, the boss's shout suddenly came from behind.
"I paid." Lin Xiqi said hurriedly.
"No, you bought ten strings, and I'll give you another string for free." The boss took another string and handed it to Lin Xiqi.
Where can I not give it for free?
Without hesitation, Lin Xiqi hurriedly took it and said thank you.
Lin Xiqi did not keep this string. She licked the candied haws and prepared to return to the "Qizhen Pavilion".
However, when Lin Xiqi walked out not far, his brows frowned slightly.
Not far away, three young men walked towards him. The three of them were all fifteen or sixteen years old, with swords around their waists, and they were obviously from the world.
"Hey, isn't this the little baby from the 'Fuyun Sect'?" One of them walked to Lin Xiqi and said with a smile.
"It turns out that he is a little baby, and he still eats candied haws. Senior brother, when we met him last year, he seemed to be eating candied haws. Unexpectedly, a year has passed and he still hasn't grown up."
"Maybe it hasn't been weaned yet, but the 'Fuyun Sect' seems to have no women, haha~~"
...
"What do you want to do?" Lin Xiqi said with a slump in his face.
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to see if your skills have improved after a year." A man chuckled.
Lin Xiqi was deeply impressed by the three of them and would definitely not forget them.
Last year, when he came to Gushan Town with his master, he was humiliated by the three of them. Not to mention that Lin Xiqi was not as old as the three of them, he had only one person. The result is conceivable. Lin Xiqi was beaten up by the three of them and returned to the "Fuyun Sect" with injuries.
The disciples of the Chaotian Gang in Gushan Town will not do whatever they want in Gushan Town and will be restrained. After all, they are the place where their sect is located.
The three of them dared not kill Lin Xiqi, but they taught a lesson, and no one would say anything.
The officials in power in major sects do not care about the fight between disciples, as long as no one is killed.
"Is it three to one?" Lin Xiqi packed the remaining candied haws in his hand in paper, then stuffed them into his arms, then touched them at his waist, and held the small short knife at his waist in his hand.
"Huh? I'm a little brave enough to resist us in the face of our 'Three Tigers of Heaven'!" One of them showed a hint of surprise on his face when he saw Lin Xiqi's appearance.
Lin Xiqi also resisted last year and was no match for them at all. Not to mention three, even one, Lin Xiqi couldn't win.
"I didn't expect to meet you three more today, so I have to settle the accounts of last year together!" Lin Xiqi slowly pulled out his small short knife.
This small short knife has a curved edge and a much larger curve than an ordinary knife. It is a bit like a scimitar. The back of the knife bends with the blade, and there are two blood grooves and two corrugated prints on both sides.
The thin blade shone with cold light under the sunlight, and you can tell at a glance that it is extremely sharp.
"Good knife! Miao knife?" The person on the opposite side couldn't help but praise after seeing Lin Xiqi's knife.
"It's a Miao knife, and it's definitely a good knife, a precious knife," said another person.
"Junior Brother Lin, my senior brothers are also practicing martial arts with you for your own good. That is to let you know the dangers of this world. If you hadn't met our senior brothers, your life would have been gone long ago." Another person said with a smile, "Let's do this, see if your martial arts are not good. I can give you a few moves. As for the reward, just use the short knife in your hand."
"Junior brother, you can't just take it alone!" someone next to him said hurriedly.
"Senior brother, among the three of us, I am good at using a knife. If I get this knife, I am willing to exchange it for one year!"
"A year? That's fifteen taels, are you sure?" Hearing this, the person next to him said in surprise.
Each sect will pay corresponding silver for the disciples every month. According to the seniority, status and strength of the disciples, the amount of silver they receive is also different. Of course, those major sects are naturally rich, and their disciples are naturally rich. If they are some small sects, their disciples may not have much money.
Don’t think that there are rich people in the world. Many small sects have problems with eating and drinking, and there are also some tricks to do.
Those glamorous sects are extremely powerful. If they have the strength, they will naturally have corresponding industries to make money.
Chaotian Sanhu are disciples of Chaotian Gang with a lower generation. Their annual silver costs only about twelve taels. If the master you follow is powerful or strong in the gang, then the disciples below will naturally be able to get a little more.
He said fifteen taels, which means that his master has some status in the gang and the money he got exceeded the average level.
"Senior brother, you are underestimating me, Zhou Da. Can I still keep my word?" Zhou Da said.
"Okay, although this short knife is good, but my junior brother thinks it is suitable. Then we, as senior brothers, will naturally have to fulfill our junior brother." A senior brother said with a smile.
"Junior Brother Lin, how about it? It's better to hand over this short knife obediently. At least you can suffer less!"
Many people on the street saw the three people from Chaotian Gang surrounding a child, and their faces showed a hint of helplessness.
Anyone from Gushan Town naturally knew these three people and knew that these three people were disciples of Chaotian Gang and were usually domineering in the town. They dared not speak out.
Lin Xiqi is really not afraid of the three of them now. Since he was humiliated by the three of them last year, the year after he returned can be said to have been practicing hard, and his skills have improved rapidly.
From the moment he met the three of them just now, Lin Xiqi could roughly judge that the strength of these three people was not much different from last year. Therefore, he believed that he could defeat any of the three of them. If the three of them wanted to go together, then it would be fine if he wanted to escape.
But even if he practiced hard and made such great progress, his master was always unsatisfied.
Fu Yunzi said that he did not practice hard, which was also a kind of encouragement, because Lin Xiqi was much worse than his other eight senior brothers, so he said that which master did not want his disciples to be more promising?
"What's going on?" Just as Lin Xiqi was about to mock the few people, a crisp sound suddenly came from the crowd.
