I became immortal in the world of low martial arts

Chapter 2 Crisis
boom! boom! boom!
Su Heng hit it three times in a row.

It wasn't until he heard a crackling sound that he threw the big stone aside.

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

Picking up Jute Mazi's simple knife from the ground, he slapped him hard on his neck, almost cutting off Jute Mazi's neck. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and he collapsed on the ground and gasped for breath.

"This world is like this, if you don't kill me, I will kill you..."

Killing for the first time.

Su Heng's heart was blank.

After the matter is over, I slowly feel the fear.

He felt his heart beating violently, making a pounding sound.

Swish!
A gust of cold wind blows.

Su Heng shivered, and soon came back to his senses.

"Although this valley is hidden, there is no guarantee that no other herbal 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 things.

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

He put the herbs in his back basket, and the copper coins in his trouser pocket. Su Heng squinted his eyes and looked through the last dark yellow booklet, with a look of surprise on his face.

It is a map in Wukui Mountain.

Those veteran herb collectors will have several "treasure lands" that they know.

This dark yellow booklet is the map used by Jute to record these "treasure lands".

Although the lines above are very abstract.

However, in more than half a year, Su Heng has become very familiar with Wukui Mountain, so he should be able to find the place recorded in the brochure.

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

Followed by.

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

Only then did he carry the basket on his back and quickly left the valley.

……

Wukui Mountain is about twenty miles away from Deling County.

When Su Heng returned to Deling County, it was almost dusk.

city ​​gate.

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

Su Heng slowly followed among the crowd, moving 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 the words "Bai Ruici, the left protector of the White Lotus Sect, offering a reward of a thousand taels of gold".

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

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

This matter should have been done by him.

But Su Heng is the only child in the family, and he is only 14 years old this year.

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

In addition, it costs money and dredges relationships.

This can be replaced.

As for Su Heng's mother, she had been overworked and died of illness long before Su Heng crossed over.

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, but was bitten to death by a poisonous snake.

Today, there are five members of Su Heng's family.

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

When Su Heng came to the city gate, a guard's eyes flooded 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, my lord." Su Heng hurriedly took out two copper coins from his arms and handed them over, bending over and bowing, and then he was allowed to enter the county.

Deling County is divided into inner and outer urban areas.

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 his way, passing through several streets full of garbage and rotten smell, and after turning around two small alleys, he saw himself in a string of bungalows, the only one in the world. s home.

On the bamboo poles at the door of the house, there are still old and washed clothes hanging.

Men's and women's clothing, only a little difference can be seen in the color.

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

One of them was a tall man, wearing a gray cloth blouse, and his exposed arms were full of muscles.

This person's name is Xu Biao.

He is the gangster leader of the Tiger Head Gang responsible for collecting 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 a grim expression.

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

Then he smiled and said, "The rules have been changed. From now on, we will collect the regular money every half a month."

Su Heng's face darkened.

In the past, I received a protection fee every other month, and I barely survived.

Now the protection fee is collected every half a month. This is no longer cutting leeks, but digging the roots of leeks.

Su Heng thought about the days before.

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

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 was upset.

But it is obviously irrational to confront the Tiger Gang now.

He took out ten large coins from his pocket and put them in Xu Biao's hands.Unexpectedly, Xu Biao stretched out his hand to weigh it twice, cast a glance at Su Heng, and said indifferently: "The prices have risen recently, and the regular money will be [-]% higher."

Su Heng's complexion became even uglier.

If it wasn't for the coincidence of harvesting a sum of copper coins from Huang Mazi today, something would really happen.

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

This is the end.

A satisfied smile appeared on Xu Biao's face.

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

"I don't need to worry about that." Su Heng replied blankly.

"Ha ha."

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

……

Watching the figures of Xu Biao and others disappear into the alley.

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

There was the sound of moving benches and tables in the room. After a long while, with a click, the dilapidated wooden door slowly opened. In the dark room, a young woman in her teens poked her head out.

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

However, the facial features are still pretty.

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

It is precisely because he covets his sister's beauty that Xu Biao has been taking people around.

Xu Biao was still afraid when his eldest sister and father were around.

But now that there are frequent changes in his family, Xu Biao is clearly in a bad mood, just waiting for an opportunity... Thinking of this, Su Heng also has a faint sense of crisis in his heart.
