Chapter 12: Raising Money! Xiaocheng

"Oh, forget it. We only know him, so it's hard for others to find him even if they want to."

After taking a puff of his pipe, Li Fu became angry again and cursed, "I told you to discipline Xiaodong a long time ago, but you didn't listen. Now look what a loving mother is like to spoil her son!"

"You just blame me. You have the ability to save the child." The woman cried.

The two of them made a fuss for a while and finally got tired.

The wife sighed and cried, "If it's really as Zhang Lingshan said, if it really doesn't work, we'll sell everything in the house and redeem Xiaodong no matter what. I only have this one son. Even if we don't have money, we'll have to steal at least 20 taels!"

"Well, I'll go see what the Sanjiang Casino says tomorrow."

Li Fu said in a deep voice: "If it's not as terrible as Zhang Lingshan said, then it's better to give the twenty taels directly to Sanjiang Gambling House than to Zhang Lingshan. As the saying goes, a man without hair on his lips is not reliable. That kid can even bump his head randomly, so he must be unreliable."

That night, the couple went to bed in sorrow.

Early the next morning, Li Fu rushed to the Sanjiang Casino to confirm. When he saw his son working in a pile of feces and urine, he burst into tears.

Gambling houses don't keep idle people.

Not only did he make his son work, but he also didn't give him food, and often beat and scolded him, making him live a life worse than a dog.

"Dad, please take me home. I can't stand it."

Li Dong cried with tears and snot.

The gambling man sneered, "You saw it, son, but where's the money?"

"Still trying."

"Then why are you here? Come back when you are ready. Get out!" the man from the gambling house said rudely.

Li Fu asked stubbornly, "I want to know if my son has signed any IOU with you."

"Oh, you know what I'm talking about."

The people in the gambling house laughed at once: "Since you know this, why are you still talking? We are merciful and will let you redeem your son with 20 taels first. After that, you will have a month to pay back the debts. Isn't this very humane? Get lost!"

"Yes, yes, I'll get out now, I'll get out now."

After being attacked by the ferocious monster, Li Fu quickly ran away with his tail between his legs, feeling both happy and sad.

I was happy that I had found the right person, Zhang Lingshan. This young man was unexpectedly useful.

According to Zhang Lingshan, as long as he gave Senior Brother Shi twenty taels of silver, he could help mediate and let Xiaodong completely break away from the gambling house and no longer be chased for debt.

This is a good thing that you can't find even with the light on.

Worthy of joy.

But the sad thing is that twenty taels is not a small amount.

If they had known this disaster would happen, they would have sold everything they had to scrape together twenty taels of silver, and sent their Xiaodong to the Hong family martial arts school, just like Zhang Lingshan did.

That way, not only will Xiaodong not be blackmailed by the gambling house, but he will also be able to make a name for himself.

Ugh.

I regret it so much.

But it’s useless to think so much now, the most important thing is to raise money.

While Li Fu's family was trying to find a way to raise money, Zhang Lingshan had already forgotten about their affairs and continued to concentrate on practicing the Hunyuan Zhengyang Posture.

This day.

Name: Zhang Lingshan
Martial arts: Hunyuan Zhengyang Posture (beginner +)

Energy: 6.6
"Hey, it's time to upgrade again."

Zhang Lingshan was surprised and happy.

He just opened the panel out of habit to check, but unexpectedly he suddenly saw the plus sign behind the word "entry".

The volume may be only 6.6 points.

There are zeros and wholes.

What does this mean?
This shows that all my efforts in standing still these days have been useful!

Although there was no clear digital record on the panel, when he used energy points to upgrade, he also counted his own efforts, thus saving energy points.

According to his estimation, it might take 10 energy points to go from entry level to minor success in Hunyuan Zhengyang Zhuang. Now, 3.4 energy points have been reduced.

This is all thanks to my unremitting efforts!
"Energy! Add some more!"

Zhang Lingshan shouted excitedly and focused his mind on the "+" behind the entrance.

Wow!
The word "entry" flashed with yellow light, and then transformed into the word "small success".

Hu Hu Hu.

Suddenly, there was a sound of bellows being pulled inside the body.

It was as if someone was cheering me up inside my body, and the air was flowing wildly to my limbs, as if blowing my whole body up.

But this is just an illusion.

Because Zhang Lingshan observed his limbs and palms, and they did not inflate or swell.

The only change is that the palms and backs of the hands are slightly red, but this is also within normal understanding. After standing in the Hunyuan Zhengyang Posture for a long time, the body will also become hot and red.

The difference was that this time he could clearly feel the skin on his body becoming tighter.

As the air in the body flows, the skin is pulled again and again, the muscles inside keep trembling, and the bones seem to be stimulated to become active.

Zhang Lingshan had a strange feeling, as if he could feel the bone marrow in his bones moving along with the airflow in his body.

This feeling didn't last long, but he felt as if he had had a long sleep.

Slowly, the air flow dissipates and the body returns to calm.

If it weren't for the warm currents still flowing through his body, he would have doubted whether everything that had just happened was a dream.

"The height seems to have grown a little taller."

Standing up from the resting corner, Zhang Lingshan stretched his body and found that his pants and sleeves had become a little shorter.

If it continues to grow at this rate, it won’t be long before I have to change this outfit.

Fortunately, after I become a formal disciple, I can wear the training clothes customized by the martial arts school, which can save a lot of money. It’s really good.

"Huh! Ha!"

In the yard, the registered disciples were still practicing their skills on their own, and no one noticed the changes in Zhang Lingshan.

Zhang Lingshan naturally did not say anything and started to drive the stakes on his own.

As for Shi Lei, he was a lazy guy. Ever since Zhang Lingshan had almost finished his training, he stopped giving instructions regularly and would stand in the shade from time to time to rest and slack off.

He is sleeping in the cool air now.

Unless Gym Master Hong Zheng suddenly showed up, he would be able to sleep until lunch time.

"Is Senior Brother Zhang Lingshan here? Someone is looking for you outside."

Suddenly, an apprentice from the front yard shouted from the main hall.

Zhang Lingshan was slightly surprised and said, "Here it comes."

After walking through the main hall and coming to the front yard and turning behind the screen, Zhang Lingshan saw who the visitor was.

Neighbor Li Fu.

Li Fu was seen hunched over, standing awkwardly at the door, looking around.

In just a few days, he seemed to have aged by ten years, with white hair on his temples, looking very old.

Seeing Zhang Lingshan coming out, Li Fu grabbed Zhang Lingshan as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw and hurriedly said, "Xiaoshan, I have collected all the money, all the money! Please ask your Senior Brother Shi to go to Sanjiang Casino to save my Xiaodong.

"You don't know, Xiaodong has been living like a ghost these days, I can hardly recognize him.

"If his mother hadn't brought him meals a few times, he would have starved to death!

"If you don't redeem him now, you, Uncle Fu, will have to bury the young one before you.

"Xiao Shan, I beg you, please ask your Senior Brother Shi to come forward."

Li Fu cried and screamed, as if he wanted to vent all the stress of the past few days.
