Chapter 32 Chaos abounds
“Stop, don’t run!”
Zhang Yuan had just reached the intersection when suddenly there was a loud shout and the sound of running footsteps behind him.
The next moment, a man in civilian clothes ran past him, holding a cloth bag with a leaky bottom in his hand.
White rice is scattered along the way.
call out!
Before the man in civilian clothes could run very far, a crossbow arrow shot out and hit him in the right leg.
Pfft!
The sharp arrow penetrated the clothed man's trousers and penetrated deeply into his flesh, causing him to let out a scream involuntarily.
Soon he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, two heavily armed soldiers chased after them. One of them was still holding a short crossbow in his hand and yelled: "I told you to stop, how dare you run away like a bastard?"
Then The man in civilian clothes was holding his injured leg dripping with blood, lying on the ground He rolled up and wailed: "Master Bing, please spare your life. This villain will never dare to do it again next time. Please do well. I still have a sixty-year-old mother at home..."
He hasn't said anything yet. After that, the soldiers who were chasing him grabbed his bun and forced his head up.
"The county magistrate has an order, anyone who causes trouble in the street will be killed without mercy!"
The soldier grinned ferociously, pulled out his sword, and suddenly slit the civilian man's throat.
The bright red blood spurted out several feet away and splashed on the rice spilled on the ground. It was extremely frightening to see!
The soldier threw the lifeless body in his hand in disgust, stood up and looked around.
Pedestrians on the surrounding streets were all silent, and no one dared to look at him.
The soldier sheathed his sword and shouted: "Wu that errand, hurry up and wash the floor, Malage Bazi!"
He greeted his companions, and then left in a grand manner.
Two Zaoyi government officials rushed over and began to deal with the corpses lying on the ground.
"It's gone, let's all go, there's nothing to see!"
People around whispered and dispersed one after another.
Zhang Yuan, who witnessed the entire incident at the street corner, also quietly left.
He felt awe-inspiring.
It had only been a short time since the gates of Linhe County had been closed for less than a day, but the residents in the city actually showed signs of instability, which was completely different from Zhang Yuan's previous understanding of the county.
Zhang Yuan thought the county was very stable.
As a result, the bloody facts before him told him that a truly pure and peaceful place did not exist!
Of course Zhang Yuan had no sympathy for the murdered civilian man.
You will not live if you do your own thing!
He hurried back to his home.
"Mom, there is a bit of chaos in the city now. You must not go out. If you have anything to do, just tell your child."
Mother Zhang, who was sitting in the small courtyard picking up the soles of her shoes, nodded when she heard this: "I know."
She was even more worried about her son: "Don't go either."
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'll take a look at the food stored at home."
He ran to the kitchen to check it out.
As for the food storage situation at home, Zhang Yuan can only say thank you to God, thanking him for always having the thought of "being uneasy without food".
After moving to the county town, he purchased a batch of firewood, rice, oil and salt to store in the kitchen.
With the addition of the dried meat that I harvested from hunting and smoked, it will be enough to support Zhang Yuan and his mother for two to three months!
You can add a dog too.
As for drinking water, don't worry. There is a well in the corner of the courtyard, which is inexhaustible.
Zhang Yuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart dropped a lot.
On this day, he did not go out again.
Linhe County is no different from a remote mountain village. There are gangs, wealthy families, government offices and guards here.
I don’t know how many warriors there are.
In the past, Zhang Yuan was very cautious every time he came to the county town, for fear of accidentally provoking someone and being slapped to death by him.
Although he has now become a powerful warrior.
But even if he is blessed by the extraordinary abilities of the three major bodies, it does not mean that he can do whatever he wants.
I have to continue to endure.
In the afternoon, Zhang Yuan took a medicinal bath and continued to practice the "Pan Rock Pole Exercise". "Rock Pole Kung Fu" is divided into nine forms, among which he has mastered two of the three entering Jin forms and gained a lot of experience in practicing them.
It is with such persistence regardless of weather conditions that his upper limit of Qi and blood increases every day.
Even if it’s just one or two points, it’s very valuable to keep making progress!
Not only that, as the blood value increases, Zhang Yuan's membrane muscles become more solid and powerful, and can explode four to five hundred kilograms of strength without relying on the body.
It can already bear the blessing of four times the power of the black giant ant!
Bang bang bang!
While he was practicing selflessly in the courtyard, the door of the courtyard was suddenly hit hard several times.
"Is there anyone? Is there anyone inside?"
Woof woof!
The big tiger who had been lying in the corner watching Zhang Yuan's martial arts practice suddenly jumped up and barked twice at the door.
It obviously sensed the malicious intent of the door-smasher!
Huh?
Zhang Yuan's eyes narrowed, he immediately put on his coat and stepped forward to open the courtyard door.
At this time, the sky was getting dark, and there were three men with green belts standing outside the door.
One of them was tall and ugly, with a deep scar on his left cheek. He looked at Zhang Yuan coldly and said, "You are the owner of this family?"
< br>
"That's right."
Zhang Yuan asked expressionlessly: "What do you want?"
"Haha."
The scar-faced man smiled and raised his head. He patted his chest with his furry palms He opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "Selling Fish Alley is the territory of our Qingyi Gang. From now on, you have to pay one tael of Anjia Yin every month, otherwise don't regret it if something happens!"
Zhang Yuan understood. He came to the door with the intention of extorting money.
He had been to the county many times before and had never heard of the Tsing Yi Gang. He didn't know whether it was a newly formed gang or an unknown gang.
No matter what it is, Zhang Yuan cannot allow the other party to blackmail him!
He stepped on the threshold and shouted sternly: "Get out!"
How dare cats and dogs come to cause trouble!
The three opponents looked powerful and aggressive, looking very aggressive and difficult to deal with.
But Zhang Yuan could tell at a glance that these guys were ordinary people.
It is nothing more than strong and aggressive, with more fighting power than ordinary people.
A true warrior, even if he is not good enough to collect protection money from civilians, will not only need this little money.
The scar-faced man suddenly shouted angrily from Zhang Yuan, his face turned pale, and he staggered back a step.
As a result, I bumped into my companion behind me and almost fell to the ground.
Zhang Yuan's sudden burst of momentum made the scar-faced man feel terrified.
I feel like I am facing a ferocious beast that chooses people to devour!
"Master Warrior..."
He said in a trembling voice: "Young man, I offended you because of my blindness, please forgive me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, this scar The shameless man suddenly knocked away his companion and ran away without any sense of loyalty.
The other two men were stunned and dumbfounded for a moment.
When they hit the iron plate this time, they really wanted to cut the guy who provided the information into pieces.
But now that I have offended a warrior, I am afraid that I cannot protect myself!
When Zhang Yuan's indifferent eyes glanced over, a man seemed to be waking up from a dream, and he knelt on the ground with a pop.
I picked up a slap and slapped myself hard on the face.
While pumping, he cried and begged: "My lord, please forgive me, my lord, please spare my life!"
The other man quickly followed suit and knelt on the steps of Zhang Yuan's house.
The slaps crackled, and the two faces were red and swollen!
“Okay!”
Zhang Yuan waved his hand in disgust: “Go away.”
He closed the courtyard door again, not feeling much at ease in his heart.
This has just begun, and there are all kinds of chaos in the county, and we don’t know when it will stabilize again.
It’s just that Zhang Yuan can’t do anything right now.
All he can do is work hard to improve his strength!
