Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 43 0043 Accident
"Will there be warriors causing trouble in the county?"

Cheng Zongyang walked absentmindedly on the sparsely populated street, still thinking about what the waiter had said.

Chaos, warrior.

He couldn't help but associate these two words with something bad.

If you don't prepare for the best, you must prepare for the worst!

Even thinking of a good thing as a bad thing is better than doing nothing.

But it might also be a problem with Tianxianglou, so Zheng Yan is ready to withdraw?

Unknowingly, Cheng Zongyang came to an alley next to a wealthy family.

He collected his thoughts, looked around, and walked in when he saw no one was around.

After a while, he came out dragging the wooden frame and bumped into a passerby.

The other party just glanced at Cheng Zongyang and didn't think much about it.

Cheng Zongyang ignored him and dragged the wooden frame towards the rice shop.

Excluding the four hundred taels used to buy a house, the remaining one hundred and ninety-five taels were used to purchase supplies.

So, except for the time for lunch, he spent the whole morning wandering around the rice shops and grocery stores throughout the county.

This time, we only bought 500 catties of white rice, 500 catties of old rice, and 500 catties of white flour. A total of 150 taels!

Then there were oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and sugar, which cost twenty taels.

Finally, there were twenty-five taels left to pay for the medicinal materials.

In the alley behind the large mansion, Cheng Zongyang put all his things into the wilderness world and felt relieved.

After running around for a whole morning, I finally used up all the money I had planned to use to buy food.

The amount of food in the wilderness world is about 5,000 kilograms. This amount is enough for his family to eat for a year or two with a surplus.

Even if his second uncle and grandfather's family are included, it is enough to eat for a year.

He will have no worries and no shortage of food in the coming year.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that he doesn’t need it anymore. He will continue to buy it if there is a chance.

You don't have to worry about no one wanting food if you stockpile it, you can even keep it for your own consumption.

Cheng Zongyang dragged the stretcher out of the alley, but just as he walked out of the alley, he suddenly heard a roar:
"If you don't stop, I'll kill you on the spot!"

Cheng Zongyang looked to the right following the sound, and saw two ragged, skinny men running hysterically in front of him, as if trying their best to avoid being chased by several people in official uniforms behind him.

"What's going on?"

Cheng Zongyang took a few steps back, feeling a little surprised.

The two men in front, who were as thin as skin and bones, didn't look like the type who were too hungry to have any strength.

Running so fast seems a little unusual.

They looked more like refugees or beggars who had just finished eating and had the energy to run.

The few pedestrians on the road had already avoided him, as if they were afraid of being implicated.

When Cheng Zongyang saw the two men, he remembered that his second uncle had mentioned to him that the county was expelling refugees and beggars to avoid chaos in the city.

"Could this be the reason?"

But he didn't know if it was an illusion, but Cheng Zongyang saw fear on the faces of these two people.

This is not fear, but pure terror. If they are afraid of being caught, they may not be able to run at such a speed that exceeds their physical limits! There is no need to run like this, right?

There is still a chance of survival if you are expelled, but it would be not worth it to escape like this and be killed on the spot by the officials, right?

Only when you run away in a state of fear can you unleash powerful strength and speed that are impossible to achieve under normal circumstances.

Just imagine, how could those hungry and skinny people have such a strong physique to support such an escape even if they had eaten a few meals?
Otherwise, the person who claimed to be the captain of the police would not have been able to catch up in such a short time!
"What are they afraid of?" Cheng Zongyang frowned and continued to take a few steps back into the alley.

Whatever it was, he didn't want to get involved.

As Cheng Zongyang retreated into the alley, the two crazy men seemed to have exhausted all their strength and fell to the ground together. Under the strong inertia, both of them had bloody heads.

His originally disheveled hair and now blood all over his face made him look even more terrifying.

Cheng Zongyang looked at the two people who fell to the ground with a calm expression.

At this moment, the two people lying on the ground looked up with difficulty and saw Cheng Zongyang. Their eyes seemed to burst with hope. They suddenly reached out to him, opened their mouths wide, but could not utter a word.

This is because they have just exceeded their normal running speed, causing their bodies to be tense and their brains to be deprived of oxygen due to the intense exercise, causing them to temporarily lose the ability to speak, or perhaps become unable to speak.

Both of them reached out to Cheng Zongyang, as if asking for help.

But Cheng Zongyang turned a blind eye and had no intention of saving anyone. Not only that, he even took a few steps back.

But at this moment, one of them suddenly threw something at him. It was very small and seemed to be...

A little ball of paper?
The object fell at his feet and continued to roll towards the wall behind him before stopping. The two men seemed to have lost their spirits because of this action and lay on the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

Cheng Zongyang took a look and just frowned without moving. The next moment, he looked frightened. He dropped the wooden frame on the ground and backed away against the wall, looking as if he had nowhere to retreat.

"Tap tap..."

The next moment, there were the sounds of dense footsteps, and several officers caught up.

Two of them walked out, gasping for breath, and picked up the two people who fell to the ground.

The leading constable was a middle-aged man. His breathing was a little faster, but not as bad as his subordinates.

But he didn't expect to see a young man at the entrance of the alley, and he was obviously frightened.

When Cheng Zongyang saw the captain of the police, he noticed that his temples were slightly bulging, and his aura was intimidating without him even getting angry, so he must be a warrior.

The captain looked at the two targets, whose faces were as pale as paper and dying, then looked at Cheng Zongyang and asked:

"Where do you live? Where's your pass?"

Cheng Zongyang seemed to be startled. He took a few steps in a panic and quietly pressed the small paper ball under the wall under his feet. At the same time, his face was full of panic. He fumbled around his body in a panic, and finally took out a small sign from his arms.

The captain took it and looked at it. Seeing that it was a villager from Jinqiao Village under the jurisdiction of Yufeng County, he nodded and returned the pass to Cheng Zongyang, and asked:
"What's your name? What are you doing here? Did they do anything to you?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zongyang's feet tightened, and he said nervously:
"My name is Cheng Zongyang. I came here to buy food. I was hiding from them just now, but then I saw them fall to the ground, motionless. Then I followed you guys."

The constable just stared at Cheng Zongyang, and seeing his performance, he nodded without any suspicion and said, "It's okay."

After saying this, he left with his men.

Seeing this, Cheng Zongyang stopped stepping on the paper ball and didn't do anything unnecessary. Instead, he followed him out and came to the alley entrance.

I saw people nearby watching and pointing as the captain of the police arrested someone and left.

Cheng Zongyang breathed a sigh of relief. His acting skills were getting better and better.

Then he turned back, bent down to pick up the wooden frame, and at the same time, he put the small paper ball that he had flattened into his palm, then quickly left towards the south of the city.
