Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 4 Crisis
It is very important to develop good living habits.

For example, when it comes to things like getting up at night, Xu Yang basically doesn't get up at night. Even if he gets up occasionally, he won't rush out of the warehouse. He usually opens the hatch to solve the problem.

After all, Dongting is vast and full of dangers, especially at night. Who knows what accidents will happen, so try not to leave the cabin as much as possible, even if you get up at night, you have to solve it in the cabin.

It's not just him, but other veteran boat owners are also the same. Those who can prepare a toilet, and those who don't have a deck. Only those young people who don't care about life and death and are too lazy to pay attention to it will go out of the boat to dig birds.

Although Zhang Cheng is also an old boatman and understands the boatman's rules on the water, his two sons do not have such awareness.

and so……

Xu Yang didn't wait long, when he saw a person coming out of the cabin, half asleep and half awake, came to the side of the boat and untied his belt.

It was Zhang Cheng's eldest son, who was thinner than the second son who was going to die for him.

But Xu Yang was not picky, he clenched the cobblestone in his hand, and threw it violently with his arms.

Most of the hidden weapon techniques use force from the wrist, but Xu Yang doesn't know any hidden weapon techniques, so he can only use his body's instinct to throw the pebbles with his arms.

This technique has huge movements and many flaws. Even ordinary people, let alone warriors, can dodge it very easily.

But the boss of this family got up at night to relieve himself, and was half asleep and half awake, so there would be no dodge reaction.

"puff!!!"

There was only a sound of splashing water, and behind the sound of a heavy blow, the boss of the Zhang family standing at the bow let out a muffled grunt, then fell over and fell into the water, causing a circle of splashes.

"Boss?"

In the cabin, Zhang Cheng, who was in a light sleep, was also awakened by the movement outside, and hurried out of the cabin to check.

Seeing that the bow of the boat was empty and there were circles of water splashing on the side, Zhang Cheng became flustered and shouted repeatedly: "No, second child, wake up, your brother fell into the water, go and rescue him quickly!" Come up."

"What's the matter, Dad?"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's panicked yelling, the muscular second child of the Zhang family rubbed his eyes and walked out of the cabin.

"Your brother fell, hurry up, get into the water and rescue him."

"Oh!"

The second son of Zhang's family didn't feel any difference, and jumped into the water directly, leaving Zhang Cheng nervously waiting beside the boat with a light.

"This damn boy, I told you not to leave the cabin at night because of the strong winds and waves, but you just didn't listen. It's okay now..."

Holding the lamp, Zhang Cheng read and cursed angrily by the side of the boat, but he didn't think there was anything wrong.

until……

"Gollum!!!"

There was a sound of bubbles, and something seemed to be moving under the water. Zhang Cheng's pupils shrank, and he looked with a lantern, and saw a large number of bubbles and scarlet blood emerging from the dark and deep water.

"This……"

"Second!!!"

Zhang Cheng finally realized something, screamed, picked up the oar and stabbed it underwater, but he couldn't touch anything.

"Boss, second child!"

This made Zhang Cheng's face full of panic, and he screamed at a loss.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of water coming from behind. Zhang Cheng's eyes narrowed and he turned around hurriedly.

result……

"puff!!!"

A flying stone came through the air and hit him hard on the door, bursting into a cloud of bright red blood.

Zhang Cheng only felt his eyes go dark, and he felt severe pain, and then the world spun, and he fell on the bow of the boat involuntarily.

At the same time, a big hand climbed onto the edge of the boat, then turned over from the water and rushed straight in front of Zhang Cheng with the knife in hand.

"puff!!!"

There was a muffled sound, and the sharp blade penetrated the body. The body stretched and twitched, and it became tense, but soon it became weak and softened, and there was no response.

"puff!"

Xu Yang drew out the sharp knife, looked at the corpse, his expression didn't change at all, and he stabbed the knife into the other's chest again.

"Puff puff!"

In this way, after the three cuts, Xu Yang just stopped, turned around and jumped into the water, fished out the two corpses, and threw them on the board of the boat.

It was the Zhang brothers.

There were multiple knife wounds on the two of them, their throats were cut open, and their hearts were pierced through. They were already dead beyond death.

The three corpses were piled together neatly.

Xu Yang also got on the boat and went into the cabin to search for it.

After a while, Xu Yang, with a bag tied around his waist, walked out of the cabin, ignored the bodies of Zhang Cheng and the others, propped up the boat skillfully, and sailed towards the deep-water lake area.

Sailing (fast, choppy, calm)
As a fisherman, an old fisherman who has lived on the water for more than 40 years, Xu Yang's boat skills needless to say, he has already developed his skills and developed his characteristics. Sailing on the water is fast and stable.

In just half a cup of tea, Xu Yang drove the boat into deep water, then returned to the cabin and dug holes in every part of the bilge.

"Grumble!"

"Grumble!"

The bilge was drilled through and the lake water poured in. Xu Yang came to the bow of the ship and tied heavy objects to the three corpses and tied them to the hull. .

After doing all this, Xu Yang turned over and jumped into the water, and quickly left the place.

In this vast Dongting Lake, destroying corpses and removing traces is a very simple matter. As long as you sink the corpse, all the subsequent work will be done for you by the fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs in the lake, and only three people will be left in the end. It sank to the bottom of the lake with skeletons that no one could identify.

As for the follow-up impact, there is no need to worry about it. Fishermen living on the water are living a precarious life. Any accidents may happen, encountering a big wave, encountering a water monster, or other reasons that cause the boat to crash... …

It's no surprise that things like this happen all the time.

Therefore, Xu Yang doesn't need to worry about the impact of the death and disappearance of Zhang's father and son. All three were killed.

And when someone is so whimsical and puts suspicion and suspicion on him, it doesn't matter whether there is evidence or not. As long as he has the heart, as long as he has doubts, he will definitely attack him.

After all, he is just a fisherman, an extremely humble untouchable, he doesn't need to bear any consequences whether he kills wrongly or rightly, and he has no scruples in acting like this, as long as he has a guess.

Xu Yang was aware of this, so he acted very decisively, and ended up with the father and son of the Zhang family that night.

……

In the middle of the night, the Osprey landed and stood on the bow of the ship.

Xu Yang also emerged from the water, quickly turned onto the boat and entered the black awning cabin.

Entering the cabin, he took off the sharp knife, wiped away the bloody moisture, and then put it back into the secret compartment of the cabin. Then he calmly sat down, opened the small bag, and counted the harvest of tonight's operation.

As the so-called golden belt of murder and arson, without considering the risk, external plundering is the fastest way to strengthen oneself.

Although Xu Yang's robbing target tonight was a group of poor ghosts who were not much stronger than him, it still brought him a pleasant surprise.

Xu Yang poured out all the contents in the bag, among which a few yellow and white pieces were the most conspicuous, besides there were a lot of copper coins and a green jade pendant.

Needless to say, the copper coins are the savings of Zhang Cheng's family, but the chubby silver ingots, the golden leaves, and the emerald green jade pendant are obviously not the wealth that a fisherman can accumulate.

A few ingots, estimated to be a hundred and eighty taels, plus the gold leaf and jade pendant, this windfall is enough for Xu Yang to leave Dongting Lake, go to the city to buy a mansion and a beautiful maidservant, and enjoy the extravagant and corrupt wealth.

Seeing this, Xu Yang also understood why Zhang Cheng and his son wanted to find him.

Their real purpose is to use this old guy as a cover to realize some of the gold and silver that they did not know how to get in the name of "inheritance", so as to improve their living conditions.

Don't ask why they didn't spend it directly. If they dared to take out such a large amount of gold and silver, the Goldfish Gang would dare to let them sink to the bottom of the lake.

Without enough strength, wealth and beauty, it will only lead to death.

Therefore, they did not dare to sell the gold and silver directly, they could only plan it slowly and try to realize it.

The inheritance of the old guy Xu Yang is one of the ways they have found to realize it.

As for the origin of this gold and silver...

"Filled from the bottom?"

"Dig it on the island?"

"Murder and robbery?"

"who cares!"

Xu Yang didn't get too entangled in the things that have no proof of death, and directly put them away to enrich his family.

Although he has money, the money in his hands is not much different from that in the hands of Zhang Cheng and his son, and it cannot be used either.

Xu Yang is a very self-aware person. Although he has many skills, but not many of them can be used in combat. He has no way to fight against warriors, let alone a gang composed of many warriors.

Therefore, he cannot use this gold and silver yet.

In addition, Zhang Cheng and his son's approach also exposed a problem.

He... is too old!

If he lives for a few more years, not to mention those bastards who are waiting to be eaten without food, the Goldfish Gang might notice him and become suspicious.

But if "Old Xu Tou" died, what identity would he use to buy necessities for life?
Disguise?

Will it attract suspicion and prying eyes?

Xu Yang frowned, thought for a long time, and finally let out a dark sigh: "After all, I still don't have enough strength."

After saying that, he stood up and prepared to light a fire and cook a midnight snack to replenish the energy he had just consumed.

But after midnight snack, Xu Yang was still thinking about the next development and direction.

The official identity of "Old Xutou" will soon be untenable, and the new identity must be used to communicate with the outside world and purchase supplies.

But if a stranger appears for no reason, it is likely to attract attention and cause trouble.

The best way to deal with these troubles is to increase your strength.

How to improve?

At present, all he can rely on is the golden finger of the attribute panel.

Xu Yang took a look at the various skills he has mastered so far. Most of them are biased toward support. Only a few can improve combat power, but the effect is not obvious. For example, sharpening knives, flying stones, and chopping can only deal with ordinary People, when they meet a martial artist with extraordinary power, that's one word - send!
Therefore, new skills must be developed as soon as possible, new skills that enhance basic combat power.

But how to develop it?
