Jianghu Is Not Solitude

Du Jiangsheng waited for a moment and didn't see Meng Chunlou respond. He immediately asked with a smile, "The reason for your hesitation is probably because this idea came from a little kid like me, right?"

Meng Chun Lou didn't reply. She turned around and walked into the house. She poured herself a cup of tea and sat down at the table.

"That's right. At my age, I shouldn't have been so precocious, but if it were anyone else, they would have had to be precocious. Do you understand? " Du Jiangsheng said helplessly and bitterly.

When Meng Chunlou heard this, he could not help but sigh. He mocked himself, "Why can't I understand something that even a child can understand?"

"Have you really decided?" Du Jiangsheng asked with a pleasantly surprised expression.

Meng Chunlou nodded and frowned again, "It's a pity that we can't even eat. How can we have the energy to come out of the martial world again?"

"We have money!" Du Jiangsheng said with absolute certainty.

"Oh? Where is the money? " Meng Chun Lou asked with a puzzled expression.

Du Jiangsheng smiled and quickly entered the west wing. He quickly walked out with a piece of gray silk in his hand. Carefully opening it in front of Meng Chunlou's eyes, he saw a few pieces of silver, about a dozen taels.

"Where did you get the silver?" Meng Chun Lou asked in surprise.

"You've worked hard to earn all these. Aside from eating and drinking, I've saved up the rest of them. Now, I have more than 10 taels of silver!" Du Jiangsheng said.

"That's impossible, right?" Meng Chunlou picked up a piece of silver and looked at it carefully. It really was silver, "Usually, you're so good at eating, but we don't earn enough to fill your stomach. How can you save money?"

"You don't know!" Du Jiangsheng smiled mysteriously. "Do you think I don't go out all day except to cook at home? Actually, I've been begging outside every day. The food we eat is basically something I've asked for from outside! "

"What?" Meng Quan was shocked. "What you said was all true?"

"It's not like I haven't asked for a meal, is there a need to lie to you?" Du Jiangsheng laughed.

"In that case, did you plan to pull me into the martial arts world long ago?" Meng Chun Lou asked.

"Not really! When I was begging outside, I heard that Jiangxi and Hunan were in the midst of a flood and the imperial government was preparing food from Yangzhou for disaster relief. I was worried that one day the price of rice would rise because of this, so I had no choice but to prepare silver in advance in case of an unexpected need! " Du Jiangsheng said.

"I didn't expect you to be so smart!" Meng Chun Lou sighed.

"This is what you call being the boss without knowing the value of the firewood and rice. I have no other choice!" Du Jiangsheng laughed.

"It's rare for you to prepare for a rainy day, but it gives us an additional layer of protection! Now that we have decided to re-emerge, do you have any good plans? " Meng Chun Lou asked.

"Right now, there's a great thing for us to do!" Du Jiangsheng said.

"Oh? Tell me about it! " Meng Chun said.

There is a Daxing Stone Factory in the northern part of Yangzhou city, its owner is Zhao Daxing, he is a mean man with a vicious heart, he not only deducts workers' wages, but also uses the year of great disaster to recruit hungry people to serve him, and gives them steamed buns and porridge every day, but also forces them to do heavy work for six hours. Many people are exhausted to death at the construction site, but not only does he not give anyone a pension, but he also beats up the families of the dead. Du Jiangsheng said.

"This person is so vicious, does the government not care about him?" Meng Chun Lou asked.

"Under the guise of settling the victims for the government, not only did he not need the government's money, but he also prevented the victims from starving to death. Of course the government would be happy to accept his request!" Du Jiangsheng said.

"Damn it! The people were in trouble, but not only did he not show them his kindness, he even took advantage of the situation to rob them and made them worse. He was simply being devoid of conscience! If I, Meng Chun Lou, do not let him have a taste of my suffering, I will have wasted my life! " Meng Chun Lou said angrily.

"What are you going to do? Kill him? " Du Jiangsheng asked.

"Such people deserve to die, I will definitely kill them!" Meng Chun said.

"If you kill him, who will pay the dead?" Du Jiangsheng lightly smiled, "Saving the person is the key right now!"

Du Jiangsheng picked up the chopsticks on the table and passed them to Meng Chunlou, saying, "Let's eat first!"

Meng Chunlou had no mood to eat. He wanted to ask, but he heard Du Jiangsheng say, "I only have one word: adapt at random!"

The next day, Meng and Du ate breakfast early, took the silver and left home in a hurry.

Along the way, although they were safe and sound, they met many refugees who had brought along their youth. They were all dressed in rags, and their faces were haggard, and their eyes were filled with bitterness, causing Meng and Du to be worried. They had no choice but to quicken their steps.

Once they entered Yangzhou City, Meng and Du were immediately stunned by the bustling and hustling and bustling in front of them. The city was bustling with traffic, the streets filled with merchants, the shops by the side of the road were connected to the bustling city, and they were in harmony with the prosperity of the world. However, they would occasionally see some of the refugees begging on the streets that were particularly eye-catching, as if they were mocking this bustling city.

At this time, someone from the crowd suddenly shouted, "Not good! Clear Street has arrived! Everyone run!"

As soon as he finished his words, he saw the street was in a mess. Many people were trying to flee with their hands around their heads, trying to find a way out, and the shops facing the street were already boarded up, as if they were facing a great enemy. When they looked at the refugees again, their eyes widened in fear, not knowing whether to run or hide, they could only follow the crowd and did not know where their next stop would be.

"What dogshit age?" Could it be the King of Hell? " Meng Chunlou cursed coldly.

"I'm afraid it's worse than Hades!" Du Jiangsheng smiled bitterly.

Before long, the previously noisy street had become as quiet as a cicada, the streets were littered with stalls left behind by merchants, the goods on the ground were trampled, smashed, or dirtied, making them look miserable. There were also some people who were unable to escape in time due to panic, all of them curled up in the corner, their bodies trembling like a sieve, as if they had a strange disease!

Meng Chunlou looked over and saw a group of people in silk and silk striding over. The person in the lead was carrying a large eagle on his shoulder with a red flower on his head. His face was round like a silver plate, and his chin was as sharp as a monkey's cheeks.

That person walked with eight steps and would call his lackeys to grab the goods from behind him. If they couldn't take the goods, they would throw away some worthless items to pick up the valuables. In any case, all of their hands were still in the air and they were all grinning from ear to ear.

"That's Zhao Dexian!" Du Jiangsheng pointed at the man and said to Meng Chunlou.

Hearing this, Meng Chun Lou's eyes widened in anger. She immediately stretched out her hand to pull out her sword, but was stopped by Du Jiangsheng. She pulled him to the side of the road and advised, "Watch first!"

At this moment, Zhao Dexian walked up to the father and daughter pair and clasped his hands in a very polite manner before asking in a soft voice, "Fellow villagers, where did you come from?"

The old man's hair had turned white and his reactions were slow. After he heard someone's question, he bowed and replied, "We are from Jiang Prefecture."

The old man shook his head, then he extended three withered fingers from his right hand and said, "Don't mention it, it's been three days. We have only eaten two steamed buns, but who knows where we'll be able to eat next!"

"Is that so? That would be too miserable! " Scratching his head, he glanced at the woman and said with a smile, "Little girl, you look quite pitiful. How about you come to my house and be a little girl and I'll give your father five silver coins to let him go home and save the two of you from starving to death?"

The girl was about twenty years old, and although she was not very good-looking, she had some looks to her. After hearing Zhao Dexing's words, she looked at her father, and heard the old man say, "My Lord, your kindness is something that both father and daughter would appreciate. Because I only have one daughter left, and she has never served anyone since she was young. Furthermore, I do not wish for her to be called around by others and suffer grievances.

"Bastard!" You're being shameless, aren't you? It is her fortune that our old master has set his eyes on your daughter, and you even dared to show your face! Do you believe that I can break your old bones with a single punch? " The one who said this was Zhao Dexing's butler, Zhao Fu. This person had a fierce-looking face and a belly full of evil tricks. He had never done anything good before.

"You talk too much!" Zhao Dexing coldly glared at Zhao Fu, then put on a friendly expression and giggled at the old man, "Since you don't agree, then I won't force you. But if you think it through, then I'll be waiting at home anytime! Remember, my surname is Zhao, and my name is Zhao Daxing! "

The old man was shocked as he heard the name. His forehead was covered in cold sweat as he quickly picked up his daughter and turned to leave. He then heard his daughter say, "Father, just agree to his request! I'm so hungry! "

"You have no future!" The old man glared at the girl, "Even if he were to die of hunger, I wouldn't agree to him!"

"Dad, it wasn't easy for you to raise your daughter. It's time for your daughter to repay the favor of raising you. Why stop me?" the girl said.

"What do you know?" The old man was so angry that his mouth was trembling. "Do you know who he is? If you go to his house, what will happen? "

This was the old man's heartfelt words. If it wasn't for the urgency of the situation, he wouldn't have said it, but now that he had said it, he couldn't take it back anymore. Zhao Dexing heard it, and with a shake of his arm, the eagle flew up into the sky.

He took a step ahead of everyone else and knocked the old man to the ground with a punch, cursing, "Good old fogey, you're shameless if you give me face. My master pitied you, but you bite back and I beat you to death, you ingrate!"

The more he spoke, the harder he punched, and with the rest of his henchmen rushing forward, the old man was beaten so hard that he bled out of the seven orifices of his head, making the young lady cry and shout in desperation. Finally, she could only kneel in front of Zhao Dexian and plead, "Master Zhao, please be merciful and let my father go, I am willing to serve as a slave for my entire life, I beg of you!"

Zhao Dexian was speechless. He put on an awkward expression and said, "My lady, you are quite reasonable, but you cannot make the decision on this matter. Your father has to agree to do so!" "You saw just now, I'm a very polite person, but your dad said so rudely. If I don't teach him a lesson, how am I going to survive in Yangzhou city?"

When the girl heard this, she hurriedly kneeled in front of the old man and said with tears in her voice, "Father, say something, quickly agree to it! Father, say something! "

Seeing that the girl had given in, Zhao Fu fought even harder. Seeing that the old man was on the verge of death, Meng Chunlou could no longer resist. He leaped up and shouted loudly, "Stop!"

The shout was like a clap of thunder on a sunny day, causing people's ears to buzz. It also shocked Zhao Fu's group of people, who all looked at Meng Quan with squinted eyes, looking at him with a disdainful face. Zhao Fu asked first, "Kid, who are you? Do you want to mind your own business? "

"You bunch of bullying dogs won't even let an old man go. I can't stand it. Today, I have to be in charge of something!" Meng Chun Lou suddenly jumped up and flew into Zhao Fu's group like a hawk pouncing on a rabbit. After that, he punched and kicked and in the blink of an eye, they were all knocked down. They were all rolling on the ground in pain and wailing non-stop!

Seeing this, Zhao Dexian's eyes widened in shock. He turned around and ran, shouting, "Someone come quickly! Master Zhao has been bullied! "

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he heard a hubbub of noise. Soon after, all the shops on both sides of the street were stripped of their boards. Everyone poked their heads out and stared at Zhao Dexian's face, curious to see what kind of bullying he was going through.

Seeing this, Meng Chunlou could not help but think to himself, "It seems like this Zhao Dexing has a deep grudge against him. Otherwise, if something were to happen to him, the commoners would not be looking forward to it so much!"

"If I don't act now, this old man will lose his life!" As Meng Chunlou spoke, he looked at the old man on the ground and saw that his face was ashen and his eyes were tightly shut. It's all because of you! If I had acted earlier, he wouldn't have died! "

He wanted to go up and urge the girl a few more times, but he felt guilty, so he rushed to Zhao Fu's side and kicked at his lower abdomen with his right foot, cursing, "If I let you bully others, I'll beat you to death, you son of a b * tch!"

He couldn't help but feel angry, but he didn't dare to flare up. After all, the move Meng Chunlou had just made was too powerful, but he wasn't willing to be humiliated like this. He could only shout out, "Martial Master Li! If you don't come, I'll be dead! Hurry the f * ck up! "
