Author: Sister Huangxing is here

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Su Heng hit it three times in a row.

It wasn't until he heard a crisp click that he threw the big stone aside.

After thinking about it, Su Heng felt that it was still a little unsafe.

Picking up Huang Zazi's simple knife from the ground, he hit his neck hard, almost cutting off Huang Zazi's neck. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the ground, gasping for air.

"This is the way the world is. If you don't kill me, I will kill you..."

First time killing someone.

Su Heng's heart went blank.

After the incident was over, I slowly started to feel scared.

He felt his heart beating violently and making a thumping sound.

Whoosh!

A cold wind blew by.

Su Heng was startled and quickly came to his senses.

"Although this valley is hidden, there is no guarantee that no other herb pickers will pass by. I have to leave as soon as possible."

Su Heng noticed that Huang Mazi was carrying a rag bag, and he carefully took the bag off the body.

Open it and pour out a lot of stuff.

Seven or eight dark herbs, a dark yellow booklet, and a few oily copper coins.

He put the herbs in his backpack and the coins in his trouser pocket. Su Heng squinted at the dark yellow booklet at the end, with a look of surprise on his face.

It is a map of Wukui Mountain.

Those experienced herbal collectors will have several "treasure places" that they know.

This dark yellow booklet is the map used by Huang Mazi to record these "treasure places".

Although the lines above are very abstract.

However, in more than half a year, Su Heng has become very familiar with Wukui Mountain and should be able to find the location recorded in the booklet.

"With this booklet, I should be able to collect many herbs in the next few months, and my talent of eating immortals can continue to work..." Su Heng thought to himself.

Immediately afterwards.

Su Heng was by the stream, cleaning the blood spots on his clothes.

Then he picked up the backpack and quickly left the valley.

…

Wukui Mountain is about twenty miles away from Deling County.

By the time Su Heng returned to Deling County, it was already approaching dusk.

City gate.

The long stream of people is bathed in the red light of the setting sun.

Su Heng slowly followed the crowd and moved towards the city gate.

Approaching the city gate, Su Heng saw a notice posted on a conspicuous place on the city wall.

On the notice was a portrait of a middle-aged man with a feminine face, and underneath it was written that Bai Ruici, the left protector of the White Lotus Sect, was offering a reward of one thousand taels of gold.

Seeing the words on the portrait, Su Heng thought of his eldest sister.

His eldest sister was recruited to fight against the White Lotus Sect a month ago and has not returned yet.

He should have been the one to do this.

But Su Heng is the only son in the family, and he is only fourteen years old this year.

And his eldest sister, although she is a woman, is taller and stronger than an ordinary man.

In addition, money is wasted and relationships are cleared.

Only then can it be replaced.

As for Su Heng's mother, she had become ill from overwork long before Su Heng traveled through time and died of illness.

In order to save money for Su Heng to go to the temple to learn martial arts, his father ventured into the depths of Wukui Mountain to collect medicine and was bitten to death by a poisonous snake.

Today, Su Heng has a family of five.

Only Su Heng and his second sister Su Ping were left to depend on each other.

When Su Heng came to the city gate, a guard's eyes suddenly flashed and he stepped forward to check.

"You have gained a lot this time." The guard held a ginseng in his hand and said loudly.

"It's all thanks to you, sir." Su Heng quickly took out two copper coins from his arms and handed them over, bent down and bowed, and then he was allowed to enter the county town.

Deling County is divided into two urban areas, inner and outer.

Each urban area is divided into more than a dozen blocks of different sizes.

It was getting late. Su Heng lowered his head and hurried on. He passed through several streets full of garbage and rancid smell, and then turned two small alleys. Only then did he see his only place in the world among a series of bungalows.

's home.

There are also washed and worn clothes hanging on the bamboo poles in front of the house.

There is only a slight difference in color between men's and women's clothing.

When he was still about ten steps away from his home, Su Heng stopped and saw several gangsters kicking the door of his home hard.

One of them was burly, wearing a gray cloth shirt, and his exposed arms were full of muscles.

This person's name is Xu Biao.

He is the gangster leader of the Hutou Gang who collects protection fees.

"Xu Biao, didn't you just pay the protection fee this month? Why are you still here?" Su Heng walked up to Xu Biao and said with an unkind expression.

Xu Biao stopped what he was doing, turned around, and looked Su Heng up and down.

Then he said with a smile: "The rules have changed. From now on, we will collect payment every half month."

Su Heng's face turned dark.

In the past, I could barely survive by collecting protection fees every other month.

Nowadays, protection fees are collected every half month. This is no longer cutting leeks, but digging the roots of leeks.

Su Heng thought of the past few days.

The county sent troops to conquer the White Lotus Sect, but there was no news from them.

There may be a connection between these two things... Could it be that even gangs like the Tiger Gang are not optimistic about the current situation in the city?

Su Heng felt unhappy.

But it is obviously irrational behavior to have a head-on conflict with the Tiger Gang now.

He took out ten large coins from his pocket and put them into Xu Biao's hand. Unexpectedly, Xu Biao stretched out his hand to weigh it twice, glanced at Su Heng, and said calmly: "Prices have risen recently, and the price will be 10% higher."

Su Heng's face became even more ugly.

If I hadn't just harvested a sum of copper coins from the jute today, something would really have happened.

He took out a copper coin from his arms again and put it in Xu Biao's hand.

So far.

A satisfied smile appeared on Xu Biao's face.

"Brother Su, you are quite sensible." Xu Biao grinned, and then said as if unintentionally: "By the way, your eldest sister hasn't come back yet?"

"That won't bother you." Su Heng replied expressionlessly.

"hehe."

Xu Biao sneered twice and called his two younger brothers to leave from the door of Su Heng's house.

…

Watching Xu Biao and others disappear into the alley.

Su Heng then knocked on the door and shouted: "Sister, it's me, I'm back."

There was the sound of benches and tables being moved inside the house. After a while, with a click, the shabby wooden door slowly opened. In the dark room, a young woman in her twenties poked her head out.

Although the woman in front of her was a little haggard, her complexion looked a little dull due to long-term malnutrition.

However, her facial features and facial features are still pretty.

This woman is Su Heng's second sister, Su Ping.

It was precisely because he coveted his sister's beauty that Xu Biao kept bringing people around.

In the past, when his eldest sister and father were around, Xu Biao was still afraid.

But now that the family has suffered a series of changes, Xu Biao obviously has something wrong in his heart and is just waiting for an opportunity... Thinking of this, Su Heng also has a faint sense of crisis in his heart.
