Chapter 31 Asking for directions
It was getting brighter, and before the sun emerged, a vast white morning mist appeared over the wilderness.Yang Liang walked all the way, his body was covered with dew and his clothes were wet.

"A Liang, get up early."

When he was approaching the entrance of the village, a voice suddenly sounded. Yang Liang was so frightened that he almost jumped up from the ground.

I saw Wang Hong standing at the entrance of the village, still holding the small teapot in his hand, with a faint smile on his face.

Yang Liang couldn't understand what was behind this smile. Just now, he was thinking about the scent of makeup on Li Juhong, but when he was shouted out like this, his soul almost flew away.

"Master Wang, did you not sleep, or did you get up early?"

"I am used to martial arts practitioners getting up in the morning and breathing in the energy of the rising sun." Wang Hong took a sip of tea and asked, "What are you doing up so early?"

"I... go for a morning jog."

"Morning jog?" Wang Hong was a little stunned.

"Yes, I am used to walking around the village several times every day."

After telling two lies, Yang Liang became more relaxed. He moved his shoulders twice, came forward and said: "Master Wang, look at how strong your bones are. How can I be like you? Look at mine. Look, am I suitable for practicing martial arts?"

"you……"

Wang Hongqu raised his fist and punched Yang Liang's chest twice, making a banging sound.

"The bones in the body are very hard, and they are all muscles." Yang Liang said.

"It's a pity that it can't be done." Wang Hong walked in front with his hands behind his back.

Yang Liang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly chased after Wang Hong, saying, "Master Wang Hong, what's wrong? Can't I practice martial arts?"

"This martial arts practice should start from a young age. Use potions to soften the body's bones before you can practice martial arts.

Like you, if you do too much work every day, your muscles and bones will become old and become dead muscles and hard bones. "

Wang Hong shook his head: "What a pity."

Yang Liang's heart sank to the bottom. Could it be that he had missed the best age to practice martial arts and would never be a martial artist again in this life.

Then the only path left is for scholars. Although there is a certain momentum of development, they cannot escape the suffering of old age, frailty and various diseases.

"Master Wang, A Liang, come back quickly, something happened at home." Zhao Quan said from a distance.

Yang Liang didn't know what happened, but Zhao Quan looked very anxious.

He walked a few steps quickly and caught up with Zhao Quan, but Wang Hong behind them still looked unhurried.

The Niu family is a little different today. The front door, which was closed in the past, is open, and the lobby is already full of people.

Everyone looked anxious, and the landlady was so anxious that she was running around.

"Master Wang is here, Master Wang is here."

When Wang Hong appeared, everyone seemed to have found a backbone. With a quick glance, they all stood up in unison.

"Master Wang, look quickly..."

At this time, Master Wang arrived belatedly, and the landlady immediately handed over two things.

Yang Liang looked over and saw that it was a knife and a piece of paper. On the paper, there were several large characters written in cinnabar:

"One hundred silver patterns"

Master Wang glanced at him, but he didn't show any panic. Seeing that he was so calm, everyone gradually became quiet.

"Where was this found?"

"I found it at the second gate in the morning." A fat white girl named Mai Ya said, "The knife was stuck in the door. I was so scared that my face turned pale."

"hiss!"

Everyone couldn't help but gasp, and talked about it.

"This is what bandits did."

"Mom, this is amazing. The knife can be sent over, but the person can't be killed." "Oh my God, madam, I want to tell you something. Can you give me a few days off? There is a sudden emergency at home."

Wang Hong picked up the letter on the table, read it, and sat down on the Taishi chair next to him.

"This is called inserting a knife to ask for directions. It is a trick often used by bandits and horse thieves."

"Is this really done by bandits?"

"The bandits are already here!"

"Where are the bandits? Where are the bandits? Who kept watch yesterday?"

"All right!"

The landlord's mother-in-law gave a clear drink, and everyone in the hall fell silent.

She turned her eyes coldly in a circle, and finally looked at Master Wang and said: "Master Wang, in your opinion, what should we do about this matter?"

"This is simple. Since the bandits used the trick of inserting a knife to ask for directions, it is obvious that they came for money and asked us to borrow a toll. Within three or two days, they will come to withdraw the money." Wang Hongdao : "Prepare a sum of money when the time comes, and I will negotiate with you to ensure the safety of your family."

"Master Wang, I really need to give you money!"

The landlord's mother-in-law felt a slight pain in her heart. 100 taels of silver was not a small sum even in the city, let alone in this landlord's compound where rice was valued as much as gold.

"That's right, we can't fight with them!" Zhao Quan said: "Capture a few bandits and send them to prison!"

"Ugh!"

Master Wang waved his hand: "The bandits are all rootless people. It's okay that they only take money. If they really start to take action, they will ignore it, but they will cause death."

The landowner's mother-in-law thought for a while and said, "But 100 taels of silver is not a small amount of money. We can't get it out at once?"

"I, the Lame Lion, also have some respect in the world. If they come, I will be the one to negotiate with them."

The landowner's mother-in-law said: "Then we will try our best to collect some money and borrow some more, but 100 taels of silver is still too much."

The landlord's mother-in-law frowned and sighed. Yang Liang had never seen her so sad.

It didn't take long for this incident to spread in Niujia Village, and the whole village was panicked.

"Auntie, Auntie..."

Yang Liang took the time to go back home. He originally wanted to visit the next door, but was turned down.

In desperation, he had no choice but to step on the bench and lie on the wall.

"Little bastard, what are you doing?" Aunt Wang rushed out with a broomstick and said, "What did you do last time? You were so angry that the boss cried non-stop after he came back, and his eyes were red from crying."

"I did it for her own good. There are a lot of bad people out there now. My eldest sister is good-looking, so I don't know how much I care about her."

"Bah, you are the one I worry about the most. Do you think you are a good person?"

Yang Liang touched his nose. What Aunt Wang said was similar to what Wang Huandi said last time.

"Auntie, I'm a good person. I'm telling you, there are bandits in the village now. You have to keep an eye on the eldest and second sisters. The bandits burn, kill, loot, and do all kinds of bad things."

Aunt Wang's expression changed and she said, "A-Liang, are the bandits really here?"

"That's still fake. The knife was inserted into the door of Niu's house. The knife is so long!" Yang Liang gestured.

"Oh, what should we do? Your uncle has gone to the next village to collect debts. What should we do?"

"Auntie, we can't live without a man in this family. I've been suffering a lot these days. Send the eldest and second sisters to my room, and I'll keep an eye on you."

"You bastard and a fool, I'll tear your mouth apart."

As he said this, a broomstick came straight towards him.

Yang Liang landed under the wall with a pop.

He scratched his head and felt a little nervous: "Why is this bandit really here?"
