Era: Starting from cave dwellings in northern Shaanxi

Chapter 95 Encountered a robbery?
  "Xiang Yang, are you practicing?"

Early the next morning.

After Sun Xiangyang finished standing, he just opened his eyes when he heard the voice of the old party secretary coming from next to him.

In fact, he had already heard the other party when he first arrived.

No matter how focused he is, he is still a beginner after all, and he is still far from being able to completely abandon all the noise around him.

And the old party secretary's walking voice was full of a rhythm that he didn't even recognize. Once you get used to hearing it, it's hard to guess.

"Well, the Zhanzhuang Kungfu taught by Mr. Sha is quite effective in conditioning the body."

Sun Xiangyang nodded.

He could guess the purpose of the old party secretary's visit without asking.

"He is also a legendary figure. It is a fate that you can learn martial arts from him."

The old branch secretary nodded. Shuangshuiwan was so close to Shapingba, so how could he not know about Sha Qichang.

Even listening to the meaning of his words is not just as simple as knowing.

"a legendary person?"

"Yes, in the early years, he was a bad-tempered Lord, so when he was a soldier, he got into trouble a lot. In addition, he was not a soldier, so he never climbed up. But he knew martial arts and was good at it. The gun is also accurate.

Later, someone transferred him to work as a guard, but within half a year, he couldn't stand it anymore and had to go to the front line. The person had no choice but to satisfy him.

And he saved many people on the battlefield.

By the way, do you still remember the pen that Sha gave Dudu last time?
  The person who gave the pen was actually a person that Mr. Sha saved back then. The last time he came to visit the old man, he stayed at Shapingba for two days.

Before leaving, he gave the pen to Sha.

So if your surname is Sha, why do you dare to give you those guarantees?

Just relying on himself and his temper, he would have been betrayed long ago. "

The old party secretary didn't know whether it was because of jealousy or something else, so he simply sneered.

"Do you want to return the pen to Sha Zhishu?"

Sun Xiangyang really didn't expect that the pen would have this origin, so he asked.

"You didn't use it before, and you don't need it now. You are now half of Mr. Sha's apprentice. Whether he admits it or not, it is fate after all. So even if the pen is in your hand, you can take it legitimately.

Of course, you don't expect that pen to be of any great use. It's just a stepping stone. It's a small thing like using your mouth. For the sake of this fate, people don't mind helping.

But if it's something big and difficult, don't even think about it. No one is a fool.

Otherwise, Sha can deliver the pen easily?
  To him, it doesn't really matter whether he has the pen or not. He gets to know the person first and gives him the pen later. "

"I understand, it's human nature."

Sun Xiangyang nodded, not feeling disappointed. Originally, he didn't expect to do anything with the pen. If the old party secretary had not asked him to accept it last time, he would not have planned to take it.

But after listening to the old party secretary's words, he had a better understanding of Mr. Sha.

To a certain extent, the other party is indeed somewhat legendary.

But thinking of the other party's current appearance, he couldn't help but think of four words in his heart: The hero is dying.

Perhaps the only thing Sun Xiangyang can do is to prevent the other party from leaving with regrets.

Therefore, he has to practice more on the stance, and the grappling techniques, and try to master them as early as possible, so that he can improve quickly.

The old branch secretary seemed to have come here specifically to talk to him about this matter. After speaking, he staggered away with his hands behind his back.

As for Sun Xiangyang, he first went to Chagouzi. When the people from Shapingba saw him coming, they greeted him warmly.

Yesterday they worked until dark. If the old branch secretary hadn't come to urge them, they wouldn't even be ready to leave. When they left, everyone brought some water with them to give their families a taste.

After returning home, they immediately heard that Sun Xiangyang had helped Shapingba find water. Now Liu Chunhua was leading the well drilling team there to dig a well. Anyway, according to the news they heard, water would be available there. .

Maybe in half a month, they can say goodbye to the bitter water and drink the same sweet water as here in Shuangshui Bay.

This also made them full of gratitude to Sun Xiangyang. When they met Sun Xiangyang, all their gratitude was converted into experience points, which once again brought Sun Xiangyang a lot of experience.

The only pity is that they are only temporary members, so the experience they provide will be greatly reduced, a lot less.

But even so, the total number of two hundred people is still a lot.

The point is, this one isn't a one-off.

In the future, Sun Xiangyang will come over to hang out more often when he has nothing to do, or wait until water comes out from Shapingba, and he will definitely be able to harvest a bigger one.

With these experiences, Sun Xiangyang went back and bought back the medicinal materials. After using them for a while, he could naturally improve his personal level.

Even if his health gets better by then, no one will doubt it.

After leaving here, Sun Xiangyang met up with Sun Qingwu, and then the two went straight to the county seat.

In fact, there are donkey carts here in Shuangshui Bay, but now they are transferred to Chagouzi to pull carts and transport soil. Sun Xiangyang is not weak enough to have to ride in the cart.

So I simply walked to the county town with Sun Qingwu.

The city is even more backward than Sun Xiangyang imagined. Although there are some buildings, they are basically boxy and three or four stories high. Most of them are bungalows, but there are also some cave courtyards.

Different from the cave dwellings in Shuangshuiwan, the cave dwelling courtyard here is dug five or six meters down on the flat ground, and then the cave dwellings are dug out around it. In this way, from the ground, there is only a square courtyard. It's a big pit, but underneath it is a cave dwelling with a courtyard structure.

That is to say, a half-meter-high wall was erected on top and there were shelters around it. Otherwise, Sun Xiangyang suspected that he might fall directly into it when walking at night.

However, there are not many such cave courtyards in the county. In comparison, those bungalows are more convenient to live in and are also conducive to urban planning.

Sun Qingwu has been coming here a lot before, and he came here yesterday to buy gifts for Sun Xiangyang. When he heard what Sun Xiangyang wanted to buy, he simply took him to a three-story department store.

In the [-]s, in addition to supply and marketing cooperatives, department stores were built in more and more places.

As the name suggests, it is a place where all kinds of goods are sold.

In the supply and marketing cooperative, there was a long counter, a few salesmen sitting behind it, and a long queue at the door. It was a scene from that time.

But because more and more people could not meet the demand for goods, larger department stores were established.

Even those first-tier cities had department stores as early as the [-]s.

As for Yu Lin's county town, it is naturally far from being comparable to those first-tier cities. There is only one department store like this.

Entering the department store, Sun Xiangyang strolled around with great interest. Now there was a glass counter with goods for sale, and behind the salesperson was a frame-by-frame cabinet, also filled with things.

The biggest feeling for Sun Xiangyang here is that there are so many people here, like going to a market. Many people are not actually here to buy anything, but just to watch.

Not far away, Sun Xiangyang heard the sounds of many salesmen chasing people away.

What are you going to watch if you don’t buy it?

Go away quickly and don't block it here.

Pay for things first.

In short, you can't see any smiley service and warm hospitality here.

The salespersons were louder than the other, and they even put their hands on their hips and yelled at each other. Sun Xiangyang felt like he had an eye-opening experience.

However, he did not forget the purpose of his trip and began to buy things one by one.

After more than an hour, the two of them squeezed out of the department store carrying large and small bags.

During this period, perhaps because the two of them bought too many things, someone came up to check their identities.

Fortunately, Sun Qingwu came out with a letter of introduction from the brigade.

Moreover, after arriving here, Sun Xiangyang suddenly discovered a problem: he had no tickets.

Although there are already many items that no longer require tickets and only limit the quantity you can buy at one time, there are still many products in short supply that still require tickets.

Fortunately, Sun Qingwu was fully prepared.

In other words, the old branch secretary has already explained it.

When leaving the department store, Sun Qingwu looked at Sun Xiangyang with a strange look. Sun Xiangyang had spent at least one hundred and fifty dollars in the mall just now.

Logically speaking, after spending this one hundred and fifty, Sun Xiangyang would have no money left.

He had previously paid five hundred yuan from the brigade's account, but when he returned home, he first gave Chen Shuting two hundred yuan to keep for emergencies. But when Zhang Guihua found out later, she took another hundred yuan from his hand. Gave it to Chen Shuting for safekeeping.

Yesterday, when Sun Xiangyang visited Sha Qichang, he gave Sun Qingwu fifty yuan and asked him to buy a lot of gifts.

Although fifty yuan is a lot, many people in Shuangshui Bay may not be able to save fifty yuan throughout the year.

This fifty yuan can buy a lot of things, but now, the cheap ones are really cheap, and the expensive ones are really expensive.

Earlier in the mall, Sun Xiangyang asked about a 12-inch black and white TV, which cost 380 yuan.

Even the kind of radio that uses batteries costs more than seventy.

So if you want to buy something expensive for fifty yuan, you really can't buy much.

At that time, he had the intention of coming to become a disciple, and even if the other party refused to accept him, he had to express his feelings.

As for now, I have spent one hundred and fifty, but I still haven’t bought the most important medicinal materials.

However, in Sun Xiangyang's other pocket, there was also a stack of money, which added up to exactly two hundred.

He asked Chen Shuting for it last night. Although Chen Shuting didn't ask him the reason, he said he wanted two hundred, and the other party immediately took it for him, but Sun Xiangyang still explained the purpose of the money.

When she heard that she was buying medicinal materials, Chen Shuting was still worried that she wouldn't have enough, so she prepared to spend all her money to give it to him.

But he was stopped by Sun Xiangyang.

As for the price of the medicinal materials, he also inquired about it. Two hundred yuan was enough for him to use for a month or two.

Sun Xiangyang didn't actually intend to waste the money if he didn't want to appear too out of the blue and wanted to test whether the prescription was effective.

Because as long as his personal level is improved, his physical fitness will continue to improve.

Previously, Sha Qichang said that he was born with insufficient root bones, which was mainly related to his low level. The improvement of the system is a step-by-step process and belongs to the overall, all-round improvement. Sooner or later, the root bones will be replenished.

So spending this money seems a bit wasteful.

But many people knew about the prescription, so they couldn't keep it secret.

This thing even gave Sun Xiangyang a reasonable excuse to get better.

After buying the medicinal materials, Sun Xiangyang saw that it was getting late, so he dragged Sun Qingwu into a restaurant and ordered two large bowls of mutton steamed buns.

After they had eaten and drank enough, the two of them headed back home.

However, just as he was leaving the county, Sun Qingwu suddenly reminded in a low voice: "Xiang Yang, we are being targeted. You can run away later and I will stop them."

"Are you targeting us?"

Sun Xiangyang asked pretending to be surprised.

In fact, it was not only Sun Qingwu who discovered it, but he discovered it even earlier.

When he was in the department store, people noticed him because he spent a lot of money on things.

When leaving, the other party followed quietly.

Although Sun Xiangyang has never learned counter-reconnaissance, his senses are now keen, and he can more or less feel when there are malicious eyes staring at him.

In addition, the other party was not a professional. After several attempts, he was sure that he was being targeted.

After all, he bought so many things and belonged to a first-class fat sheep.

However, he didn't pay much attention to it. He was confident and naturally didn't panic.

But Sun Qingwu found out later than he did, almost after coming out of the drug store.

The other party looked back and observed several times as if nothing had happened, but Sun Xiangyang noticed them all.

In any case, Sun Qingwu had been a soldier before, and he was here specifically to protect him, so it was normal to be wary.

"Yes, there are three of them, but you don't have to worry, I can take care of them more than enough."

Sun Qingwu said, patting his waist, where there was an obvious bulge.

"Brother Qingwu, since you can deal with them more than enough, why should I run? What if someone blocks the road ahead? So it's safest for me to follow you. What's more, I have also learned martial arts from you, so self-protection is still the best thing. no problem."

Sun Xiangyang smiled slightly.

"Okay, then you can follow me, but if a fight breaks out later, you should stay far away so that I don't get splashed."

There was a trace of ferocity on Sun Qingwu's face.

It's hard to say if he is allowed to fight with bare hands, but with three or five people, he can do anything.

Moreover, it would not be unfair to block the road and kill them directly.

Those are all cancers.

He can even become a hero.

As for over-defense?
  what is that?
  The only thing that worried him was Sun Xiangyang's safety, so he reminded him.

As for Sun Xiangyang's statement that he had learned martial arts, he just took it as a joke.

When Sha Qichang said that Sun Xiangyang was not the material, it was not like he didn't hear it.

What's more, even if it's that piece of material, I just learned it yesterday and can I use it today?
  He knew in his heart that he knew it, but he did not dampen Sun Xiangyang's enthusiasm.

Young people are either afraid or excited when encountering something like this.

And is Sun Xiangyang an ordinary person?
  Soon, the two of them left the county town for some distance until they came to a ravine, and the three men behind them chased after them.

"You two, stop for me!"

　Chapter two!

　　There are still [-] words today, and we will continue tomorrow!
