I am Fugui

Chapter 8 There are pickpockets!
Yunxi County is a small county in the south, but although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.

Although Yunxi County is not as good as the provincial capital, the facilities it should have are still there.

Brothels, casinos, tea houses, post houses, restaurants, car dealers, and all walks of life flourish here.

There are even big businessmen who have established several large factories outside Yunxi County through various relationships.

There is a factory near Xujia Village. It is said that it is a car factory that specializes in the production of rickshaws and tricycles. The sales channels are all over the province.

In more than 40 years, that is, after the 90s, Yunxi County will usher in an economic take-off. The city has been expanding outwards, and even Xujia Village has become an urban-rural fringe, enjoying a lot of dividends.

However, this is several decades later. In the current Yunxi County, you can't see the developed and modern appearance of later generations, but you can see a lot of barbarism and feudalism.

There are more than ten miles of dirt road from Xujia Village to Yunxi County, and it takes about two and a half hours for ordinary people to walk.

Xu Fugui benefited from his enhanced physical fitness, improved physical strength, quickened his pace, and walked to the county seat in two hours.

Looking at the mottled city walls of the county town, he was a little dazed. Later generations would not be able to see the original appearance of these objects. For the sake of urban development, they were all demolished.

Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about it and walked into the county town, joining the bustling crowd.

"Candied haws, candied haws, a bunch of 35 copper coins, sweet and sour candied haws."

"You can buy a sesame seed cake just out of the pan, and you can get one for ten copper coins, and you will also accept legal currency. You don't need a military ticket, and you don't need money if it's not delicious."

"Chaos, Chaos, except for military tickets and RMB, all other money is accepted. A bowl of copper coins is fifty cents, and a bowl of French currency is one hundred and one."

"Rang Rang, Rang Rang, the rickshaw is coming"

Even in the period of war, Yunxi County is still very lively, and the greetings from the shops are endless.

Moreover, the blue sky and white sun flags were planted obliquely outside almost every shop, and some large shops even hung portraits of southern leaders.

I don’t know who made a banner and pulled it up in the air. On the banner was written in traditional Chinese characters welcome to the southern troops to recover the lost land. Everyone who entered the city could see it.

Stepping on the bluestone streets, Xu Fugui kept looking around, and the originally vague memory gradually became clear.

At this moment, he was suddenly bumped by someone. Looking down, an ordinary man wearing a melon cap and short thick braids lowered his head and said sorry repeatedly.

Xu Fugui didn't take it seriously, just took two steps, his eyes widened suddenly, and he touched his bosom, the clothes he just changed were cut, and the hot silver dollar disappeared!
Looking back, the melon-skinned man hurried towards the crowd.

"You son of a bitch, there's a pickpocket!" Xu Fugui shouted, staring at the melon hat, and hurried after him.

Seeing this, the people around hurriedly moved out of the way, and then watched the play with leisure.

Xu Fugui had already cursed in his heart, if he lost this silver dollar today, his family might think of him when he went back.

It's hard to say that I have to suspect him to take it to the casino again.

Thinking of this, he sped up his pace again, not caring about bumping into others. Someone was unresponsive and blocked in front of him. He pulled his hands and pushed them away, leaving behind the sound of curses from passers-by.

After chasing him for several minutes, the pickpocket looked back, seeing that he couldn't get rid of him, he dodged into an alley.

Xu Fugui followed closely behind and ran in to see that the pickpocket had his hands on his knees, panting heavily, and his eyes were full of sarcasm.

"Boy, isn't it just one silver dollar? It's considered a bankruptcy and disaster avoidance."

The pickpocket took out a small knife from behind, straightened his waist, and said provocatively.

Xu Fugui glanced at the knife in his hand, glanced around, and picked up a five-meter-long bamboo pole for drying clothes.

"Grandson, you said you can't steal other people's money? This silver dollar is my property and life, and I won't pursue it if it is too much. You put down the silver dollar, and we will live in peace."

One inch long and one inch stronger, with a five-meter-long bamboo pole in his hand, so what if the pickpocket had a small knife, he couldn't get close to him at all.

The pickpocket spit out a mouthful of saliva, "You are my grandson."

As he spoke, Xu Fugui just took two steps closer, stabbing him hard, like a dragon, and stabbed him precisely on the chest.

"what!"

The pickpocket let out a scream, and clutched his chest in pain. Xu Fugui was so powerful that he kept a distance of more than four meters from the pickpocket. Afterimages of the bamboo pole in his hand kept falling on the pickpocket.

"Don't hit it, don't hit it, it's only one silver dollar, I'll give it back to you, lord, lord, don't hit it, if you hit it again, you will die."

The pickpocket wanted to cry, but this gangster was so strong, he felt like all the bones in his body were broken.

Xu Fugui knocked out the knife in his hand, picked up the bamboo pole, and the knife fell to his feet with a cold light.

The pickpocket heaved a sigh of relief and was about to look for a chance to escape when the bamboo pole fell down desperately again, as if frying beans.

"You bastard! You dare to steal my money, you bastard can't be beaten to death!"

Xu Fugui vented the anger in his heart to his heart's content, and he didn't care about his ruthlessness. Anyway, the southern government doesn't care, as long as they don't beat people to death, everything is easy to talk about.

It wasn't until thin sweat broke out on his forehead that he threw away the bamboo pole, picked up the knife on the ground, and walked towards the pickpocket on the ground step by step.

The pickpocket's melon skin hat had been knocked off long ago, revealing a clean forehead and short thick braids behind his head, his body was blue and red, and he kept screaming.

"Hey, he is still a member of the former Qing Dynasty, so he is reluctant to cut his braids? Isn't he still a bannerman?" Xu Fugui sneered, grabbed his braids, tore them, and cut off the braids with a sharp knife.

"My braid!" the pickpocket yelled, and then his eyes dimmed. "I'm dead."

Really a bannerman.

Ignoring these things, Xu Fugui squatted down and searched the pickpocket.

After a while, a look of joy appeared on his face.

The pickpocket probably did a lot of bad things. Besides his own silver dollar, he also found a white pouch and a silver bracelet on the pickpocket.

There were three silver dollars, five silver dimes, one thousand French coins, and even five hundred military tickets in the purse.

The military ticket is useless, it was a currency issued during the invasion of the Sakura Kingdom a few years ago, and now that the Sakura Kingdom has surrendered, it is naturally not recognized by the market.

However, the silver dollar and French currency can still be used. Needless to say, the silver dollar has been used since ancient times. Although the value has dropped a lot due to the influx of foreign gold and silver in the past two years, it is still people's favorite currency.

French currency is the currency issued by the southern government. It was quite valuable when it was first issued. One hundred French currency can buy two scalpers.

It's a pity that the depreciation of fiat money is getting faster and faster every year, and now one hundred fiat money can buy a bowl of chaos.

After another two years, legal currency will be completely useless, and people will have to hold a large bundle of legal currency to buy a box of matches, completely losing their credit
