There is a long Yangtze River in Hongfu County, and many cargo ships can often be seen passing here.
There is a pier to the east that is bustling with people and lots of traffic, and several cargo ships are docked on the shore.
A dozen shirtless men carried heavy loads on their shoulders and carried them to carriages on both sides.
Among these people, there is one person who is quite different.
Others were so exhausted that they were sweating profusely while carrying a bag of goods, and it looked like it was difficult for this person to carry three bags of goods at a time without even shedding a drop of sweat.
This man is different from those burly men who are over fifty years old. He looks to be only in his twenties. He is well-dressed and has an extraordinary bearing.
Even the cargo owner on the side was amazed to see such a powerful person.
"Who is that?" A man dressed as a businessman pointed at a young man in surprise and said.
"Haha! This person's name is Dongfang Zimo. He came here to unload goods a few days ago. At first glance, I thought he was weak, but he didn't expect to have such magical power. It really shocked me. But with this person, he can do it every time
Save the cost for two people, hehe!" The cargo owner looked at the young man smiling happily and nodded with satisfaction.
The unloading process that originally took nearly an hour was shortened to half an hour.
Half an hour later, every temporary worker lined up to receive today's pay, including Dongfang Zimo.
Of course, because he is appreciated by his employer, Dongfang Zimo's salary is often higher than that of others.
…
In a drug store, a money bag filled with copper coins was thrown on the table.
"Not enough, far from enough! Your money is less than one-third, and it is simply not enough to pay for this bottle of medicine."
The speaker was an old man with a goatee, who was also the doctor of this pharmacy.
"Take the money first. I'll take the medicine to save people first. It's more important. I will pay off the remaining debt in the future." Dongfang Zimo frowned slightly, but immediately returned to normal.
"The guest was joking. This bottle of medicine is a holy medicine in the world. Even a dying person can be alive after taking it and plow three acres of land. Everyone wants this kind of holy medicine. How can you give it to someone you don't know?
Someone." The old man said coldly, twirling his beard.
Dongfang Zimo was helpless when he heard this and could only speak again: "I am eager to save people, can't the doctor give me the medicine first?"
"cannot."
The old man still responded coldly.
Just like that, the entire drug store became extremely quiet as the two men looked at each other.
Just when Dongfang Zimo was still in a dilemma, the harsh sound of firecrackers suddenly came from outside the street, and the whole street became lively.
"Everyone! A certain person is holding a martial arts competition here. If anyone is able to defeat me, he will receive ten taels of gold and silver!"
There was a faint sound from outside. Although it was not loud, it still reached the ears of the two people clearly.
After hearing this, the old man thought for a moment, but then his face changed, and a look of fear appeared in his eyes.
By the time he reacted, the young man in front of him had long disappeared.
After Dongfang Zimo walked hundreds of steps in the direction of the voice, he saw a bustling crowd in front of him.
Those people were all looking at the martial arts platform, looking at the big man shouting everywhere. This man was fierce and looking for targets everywhere.
Everyone in the audience was frightened by the fierce look in his eyes. Even the elderly and children knew that this person was not easy to mess with. They dared not go up to him, so they could only talk carefully in the audience.
"Isn't this person none other than Meng Wu?"
"Who else could it be but this lord? I heard that this man competed with others everywhere else, but won every one of them. He is truly a god!"
"It's like this gentleman dares to do this. There is no one within a hundred miles who can match him."
When the big man named Meng Wu heard the praises from everyone in the audience, he became even more arrogant and arrogant, and kept shouting to the audience.
With his powerful voice, even the vicious dogs that often barked nearby were frightened and hid.
"Who dares to fight with me! The winner will receive fifty taels of gold and silver!"
As soon as the big man Meng Wu said these words, the crowd in the audience immediately became excited.
Even those who believe in their ability to fight are beginning to get ready to take action.
"I'll fight you!"
I don't know who shouted, and I saw a shadow drifting past my eyes, and suddenly a young man stood on the stage.
This scene surprised everyone in the audience, but they were even more looking forward to this person's fate.
"you?"
Meng Wu, a big man, stood with his arms folded. Seeing the ordinary appearance of this young man, he naturally felt contempt.
However, those who dared to take the stage were either heroes or clowns. Meng Wu also became interested for a while.
"Who are you? What is your surname? Do you know me, Meng Wu?"
"Will the winner get fifty taels of gold and silver?" Dongfang Zimo asked directly after taking the stage, not paying attention to the fierce-looking man in front of him.
"The tone of your voice is quite impressive. You seem to be very confident that you can defeat me. Haha! That's right! The winner will get fifty taels of gold and silver!" Meng Wu was angered by this man's rudeness, and as soon as he waved his hand, someone immediately killed him.
The reward is displayed.
After seeing that this was indeed the case, Dongfang Zimo's solemn expression recovered.
"Then let's get started, I am bound to get these gold and silver!" Dongfang Zimo said with his fists clasped.
"Then let's see if you have the skills to take it!" Meng Wu shouted angrily, vowing to teach this man a lesson!
Meng Wu moved very quickly and was less than ten feet away from Dongfang Zimo in the blink of an eye.
There were several harsh blasts in the air, and whether Meng Wu punched or kicked, Dongfang Zimo easily dodged them.
To outsiders, Meng Wu was just a child making a fuss, which looked extremely funny.
There was a loud "Bang!" and Meng Wu was knocked to the ground by the opponent's punch. He was vomiting blood and was in great pain. He was afraid that he would not be able to stand up for a while.
"Concession!"
Dongfang Zimo glanced at the other party, then turned to the trophies on the side.
The attendants around Meng Wu were even more surprised when they saw this scene. They didn't react until Dongfang Zimo took away all the gold and silver on the stage.
"Sir! Sir, are you okay?"
Several men hurriedly came on stage to help Meng Wu who had fallen to the ground.
"Get away! Don't leave here, I haven't lost yet!" Meng Wu stretched out his arms, knocking the attendants on both sides to the ground, stood up and sprinted towards Dongfang Zimo.
"Don't underestimate me!" Meng Wu's five fingers were powerful, aiming straight for the opponent's throat.
Dongfang Zimo sensed the danger behind him, turned around with a gloomy expression and launched a roundhouse kick.
"ah!"
Meng Wu screamed and flew out, falling to the ground where he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
The surrounding passers-by were so frightened that they scattered to both sides. Some of the timid ones even fled the scene directly to avoid getting burned.
Dongfang Zimo also quietly left this place among the chaotic crowd and went straight to the other direction, which seemed to be the drug store just now.
Under the astonished eyes of the old man, he bought the holy medicine just now, and then left the place quickly.
