Chapter 436: The sword mark is the heart of the sword
As soon as Ruyi walked in the door this morning, she smelled something.
Ruyi looked at him with strange eyes for a long time.
Chen Changsheng asked: "Why is Ruyi always looking at me?"
"Uncle Chen has a strange smell."
Chen Changsheng said: "It should be musk."
"What kind of fragrance is musk? It smells bad if you wish."
"It is used in some music listening check boxes."
Although singing in Goulan is different from that of a brothel, there are also some shady businesses behind the scenes. Generally speaking, if there is such an shady business, there will be a musky smell in the Goulan. People who enter the Goulan will know it as soon as they smell it.
It’s clear.
The function of this musk is actually to make women infertile. If you smell it for a long time, it will have this effect.
"Uncle Chen went to listen to music yesterday?"
Ruyi paused for a moment and asked puzzledly: "What is Tingqu'er?"
"It looks a bit like an opera singer," Chen Changsheng said.
"oh oh."
Ruyi didn't ask much and just assumed that it was Uncle Chen who went to the theater.
Ruyi lowered his head to embroider, but when he raised his head, he saw the sycamore flower again.
"So ugly..."
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng smiled helplessly. This girl was very resentful, so she might as well find another place for the Wutong Flower later.
Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Is Sanniang Wang at home?"
The knocking on the door came from next door, that is, Wang San's maiden's house.
Ruyi blinked and said, "Someone knocked on the door, but my mother went to the fields."
"You just stay here, I'll go out and take a look."
Chen Changsheng stood up and walked out. He saw a man in black clothes standing at the door of Wang Sanniang's house. He looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
Chen Qian turned around and saw Chen Changsheng standing at the door. He was stunned for a moment and then walked over.
Chen Qian said: "When did Brother Chen come back?"
Chen Changsheng reacted as soon as he opened his mouth.
This person is the one who collected the money.
It seems that we are still members of the same family, and we met once when Old Man Huang was still alive.
"I just came back, I didn't expect you to still remember me."
"My family, please remember."
Chen Qian smiled. There were only a few households named Chen in Qingshan City, and he remembered them clearly.
Chen Changsheng asked: "How much money do you charge for the case?"
Chen Qian nodded and said: "Today is the day to collect the test fee."
Chen Changsheng said: "Wang Sanniang went to the fields, I'm afraid she won't come back until the afternoon."
"Is this so..."
Chen Qian opened his mouth and sighed: "Then I'll ask again in the afternoon."
Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "How much? I'll cushion it for her first."
"Two cents."
That's about two hundred words.
"You want that much?" Chen Changsheng frowned.
Chen Qian said: "It's less than before."
Chen Changsheng thought for a while and took out two dollars.
"Thank you so much, Brother Chen."
Chen Qian said: "By the way, Brother Chen has just come back, so this month's payment will not be collected, but next month Brother Chen must also pay it in full on time."
"It's you again!"
"You're asking for money again!"
Ping An didn't know when he stood behind Chen Changsheng, looking at Chen Qian angrily.
Chen Qian smiled and said, "The young man has grown taller again."
Ping An frowned and looked at him, about to speak.
Chen Changsheng stopped him.
After a peaceful pause, the words stopped as soon as they reached his lips.
Chen Qian smiled dryly and then said: "Brother Chen, say goodbye, say goodbye..."
He turned his head and looked at the house opposite.
But he didn't knock on the door.
The superiors had told me not to take it, so they walked to the other side of the alley.
Wait until Chen Qian leaves.
Then Ping An said: "Uncle Chen, why don't you let Ping An speak?"
Chen Changsheng said: "If Ping An offends him, I'm afraid you will get into big trouble, and your mother won't be able to protect you then."
"Why?"
Ping An asked: "Why are Uncle Chen and my mother like this? Why are we afraid of him?"
"It's not that I'm afraid."
Chen Changsheng knelt down and said: "Ping An needs to know that sometimes it is easy to be bullied if you have no one to rely on. Giving them money is also to protect themselves when needed."
"There are pros and cons."
"For example, when Ping An was beaten by someone in the shop and robbed of his money, Ping An could go to that person and not only get the money back, he could even get it back."
Ping An asked: "Isn't there a government office?"
Chen Changsheng said: "Sometimes they are more effective than the Yamen."
In fact, this is also the tragedy of an era.
The inaction of the government has led to the prosperity of gangs. This phenomenon occurs not only in Qingshan City but also everywhere. People would rather believe in these gangs than the government.
Not to mention that the government offices in the southern region are all managed by Xiang people.
Although the fight between Xiang people and Jing people has subsided a lot over the years, Jing people are still unwilling to believe these Xiang people.
This is probably the fundamental reason why Chen Qian's gang has been able to exist in Qingshan City for so long.
Ping An frowned and said, "Ping An doesn't understand."
Chen Changsheng said: "So Ping An has to work hard. When he is so strong that he doesn't need the protection of others, Ping An won't give it to him if he doesn't want to."
Ping An lowered his head and glanced at the wooden sword in his hand.
He thought for a while and said: "I will definitely become very powerful in the future."
"yes."
"At least better than Uncle Chen."
"That might be a little difficult."
"Is it difficult?"
"It's very difficult."
Ping An blinked and asked, "But Ping An doesn't know how powerful Uncle Chen is."
Chen Changsheng didn't want to explain this matter.
But after thinking about it, I still need to give Ping An some thought, at least not to make him feel that the so-called "awesome" is actually not awesome at all.
"Ping'an borrowing the sword?"
"Give."
Chen Changsheng took the wooden sword.
Then he waved lightly towards the wall in front of him.
"Zheng..."
Ping An seemed to hear the sound of the sword.
When I looked again, I saw a sword mark on the wall, about one foot long.
He looked a little stunned.
Ping An never imagined that the sword he learned could be so powerful.
Chen Changsheng returned the sword to him and whispered: "You can't tell others about your safety."
Ping An was stunned for a moment and said, "Where's my mother? Where's my sister?"
"No way." Chen Changsheng smiled.
"oh……"
Ping An didn't understand why he couldn't talk about it, but he still followed Uncle Chen's advice and kept silent about the matter.
He stepped forward and touched the sword mark on the wall.
It's true, not false.
He didn't understand how Uncle Chen could damage the wall like this from such a distance, even though the wooden sword didn't even touch the wall.
Ping An was in trouble, and he found that this was something he couldn't understand now.
But he promised Uncle Chen that he couldn't tell others, so wouldn't it mean that he couldn't ask either.
Chen Changsheng said: "Keep practicing, and Ping An will be able to do it one day."
Ping An paused for a moment.
He believed it.
In fact, the palm of his hand holding the sword had a little more strength.
