Chapter 7 Longhufang
"Boss Yu, Boss Yu!"
In Huayuefang, in front of a restaurant named Yu Ji, Kuishan shouted loudly.
Huayuefang is also a Zhongfang. This Yuji store is two stories high and occupies a large area. In terms of industrial value, it is higher than Fugui Rice Shop.
Lin Yan followed behind, feeling uneasy.
He saw that Kuishan didn't seem to agree with letting him practice martial arts. As soon as he left Mingyu Tower, Kuishan took him to Huayuefang, not knowing what he wanted to do.
"Master Kui! You are actually here in person! Come on, come on, please come on!"
A middle-aged man with half-white hair soon walked out of the restaurant and greeted Kuishan enthusiastically.
Kuishan waved his hand: "There is no need to go in and sit down. Where is Yu Qian? Let her come out. I just happened to take her to Longhufang today."
Boss Yu's eyes lit up: "Seriously! Oh, it's really troublesome for Mr. Kui. I'll be the host tonight, so I'll treat you to a good meal!"
"I also use money to do things, so I don't need to eat."
"Then how do you make it? You must eat it, you must eat it!"
"If that's the case...then I can only be respectful rather than obey!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and not long after, a beautiful girl about fifteen or sixteen years old jumped out.
"father!"
She wears a bright yellow shirt, has an oval-shaped face, delicate facial features, and lively eyes, giving her a youthful look.
"Hey, this is Master Kui. You should follow Master Kui and practice martial arts well!"
"Yes! I have met Mr. Kui!"
The girl bowed slightly, and Kuishan nodded: "Then let's go!"
"Good riddance, Mr. Kui!"
Lin Yan didn't know why and followed Kuishan.
The girl Yu Qian was one body away from him, walking side by side.
As they walked, the girl tilted her head and whispered, "Hey, my name is Yu Qian, what's yours?"
"Lin Yan."
"You also went to learn martial arts?"
Lin Yan couldn't figure out what Kuishan meant and could only say: "Probably..."
"perhaps?"
Yu Qian didn't know why.
Kuishan suddenly said: "He did go to practice martial arts with you. Yu Qian, do you know the rules of Longmen Hall?"
Yu Qian quickly said respectfully: "Dad told me that apart from three simple meals a day, you will be provided with free meals. You will have to pay for the rest by yourself."
"Oh? Did your father tell you the specific cost?"
Yu Qian didn't know what Kuishan was thinking, so she could only say: "Dad said that practicing martial arts consumes energy and blood, which needs to be supplemented by meat. You will not be full after eating simple meals, so more than one or two hundred cash a day for meat is indispensable. Also, There is accommodation, but there is free accommodation. If you don’t want to live in the accommodation, you have to pay to rent a single room, but it is cheaper, one or two silver a month..."
Seeing Kuishan's noncommittal, Yu Qian could only continue: "There are also social interactions with people, private guidance from the master, and even medicinal materials and weapons. These are even more expensive..."
Kuishan nodded: "That's right. Meat and accommodation are just the cheapest options. Practicing martial arts is not about practicing behind closed doors, competing with friends, asking the master for advice, or even buying qi and blood medicine to increase the speed of qi and blood recovery, and so on. Which one doesn’t cost a lot of money?”
"Yes, Yu Qian has learned a lesson."
Lin Yan also said: "I have learned a lesson!"
Not long after, the three of them entered Longhufang.
Longhufang is also a Zhongfang, and it is just south of Liuyingfang. However, as soon as he entered the square, Lin Yan felt that the surrounding buildings were different from other buildings. They were simple and straight, and seemed to exude a chilling atmosphere everywhere.
Speaking of which, he seemed to have heard of the name Longhufang...
Thinking like this, his eyes froze slightly, and a group of six or seven people, wearing gray and yellow leather armor, walked past them.
"Hutou Camp..."
His expression changed slightly, and he remembered that Hutou Camp is located in Longhufang!
Fortunately, they did not follow the leather-armored soldier in one direction, but quickly stopped in front of a large courtyard.
Lin Yan looked up. On the main entrance of the courtyard, a yellow wooden plaque stood upright, with the three characters "Longmen Pavilion" engraved on it.
Yu Qian's face showed excitement: "It's finally here!"
"Yu Qian, go in first and wait for me."
Yu Qian didn't know why, so she took a deep look at Lin Yan and went in.
Kuishan then turned around and looked at Lin Yan steadily, and Lin Yan's heart tightened.
He suddenly said: "Lin Yan, do you know how much it cost Yu Qian's father to let Yu Qian study in Longmen Pavilion?"
Lin Yan shook his head.
"Two hundred taels!"
Lin Yan gasped slightly, two hundred taels, so much!
"Only twenty taels have come into my hands, and there are also internal management, tuition, miscellaneous fees, zero and zero total, starting from two hundred taels."
Lin Yan was silent, the martial arts qualification in Longmen Hall was so expensive?
“There are many places to learn martial arts in Ding’an City, but there are places like Longmen Pavilion that can’t be counted on the palm of your hand.
"I think Mr. Li never told you how valuable this opportunity he gave you was, right? You are lucky that Mr. Li gave you this opportunity. But you have really thought about the price of practicing martial arts. ?"
Lin Yan was silent. He understood what Kuishan meant and wanted to persuade him to retreat despite the difficulties.
"Mr. Li is kind to me. I don't want the people he values to go astray like this. So you can make your own decision. If you give up practicing martial arts, I will give you five taels of silver. If you go to find Mr. Li, he will definitely be interested in you." Make other arrangements.”
After that, he turned around and entered the door: "You stay here, think about it carefully, and when I come out, give me your decision."
Lin Yan was speechless. If he didn't have the Bodhi Gold Medal, after hearing what he said just now, he would probably still be hesitant and difficult to make a choice, right?
But with the Bodhi Gold Medal, let alone five taels, even one hundred and twenty-two thousand taels, he would never give up.
After regaining his composure, Lin Yan closed his eyes and rested his mind.
After a while.
"Eh? It's you!"
Suddenly, a surprised cry made Lin Yan open his eyes.
He turned around and looked: "Guard Geng?"
Behind him, Geng Bing had a gloomy face, carrying a wooden box and looking at Lin Yan in surprise.
Next to him was a woman with heavy makeup and still charming appearance, but with high cheekbones and a mean face.
The woman said, "Who is this?"
"Mipu is a little guy who settles accounts," Geng Bing looked at Lin Yan, "You, you, you, what is your name?"
"Lin Yan."
"Yes, that's the name. You kid spends the whole day hanging out with that naughty guy Wu San, so you're not a good guy. What are you doing standing here?"
Lin Yan did not answer, but just stepped aside and got out of the way: "Guard Geng, please."
Geng Bing snorted disdainfully: "What a coward."
After that, he stepped forward, reached out and grabbed a bell by the door, and pulled it gently.
Ding dong dong…
Geng Bing pulled the phone several times, but there was only a ringing sound and no one came out.
The woman next to him said impatiently: "Are you okay? Why haven't you come out yet! If something happens to my brother, I won't let you have an easy time!"
Geng Bing's face turned green and red, but he didn't dare to fart.
Lin Yan took a few steps back slightly. He heard that Geng Bing was a married woman and became a warrior with the support of his wife's family. Now it seems that the rumors are true.
However, didn’t Liu Quan enter Hutou Camp?
Why did they come here to wait for Liu Quan?
Seeing that no one came out of the hall, Geng Bing's wife became more and more impatient, and her words became more aggressive and harsh.
Lin Yan frowned and quickly took a few steps back.
Geng Bing has a bad temper. Seeing his ugly appearance, if he doesn't stay away, he may be affected...
Just when he thought of this, Geng Bing's fierce eyes immediately glanced over.
"What the hell are you looking at!"
Lin Yan's whole body tensed slightly, and he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the first person in the hall slowly walking out.
Kuishan came out.
Geng Bing was even more annoyed when he saw that Lin Yan was ignoring him: "You damn bastard, you're deaf! Come and die!"
Lin Yan's eyes turned cold and he walked forward slowly.
"You damn dare to look directly at me, I'll beat you to death..."
Geng Bing laughed ferociously, and just as he raised his fist, he suddenly heard a cold voice from behind him: "What are you doing!"
Turning around, he saw Kuishan dressed up as a bunt player: "Who are you! It's none of your business that I teach my servants a lesson!"
Kuishan frowned: "Servant? Lin Yan, have you signed the contract?"
Lin Yan cupped his hands and said, "No. Mr. Kui, I am Mipu's clerk. He is just Mipu's guard. I have never signed a contract."
"If you don't sign the deed, then you can't be a slave!"
Kuishan snorted coldly.
At this time, Geng Bing had already seen that Kuishan was walking out of the door, and he said inwardly: "He is a small accountant, and he is my servant! Also, I have been ringing the bell for so long, why are you coming out now? You Didn’t you hear me ringing the bell?”
His wife shouted from behind: "That's right, my brother has joined the Tiger Head Camp. He is a great hero who sacrificed his life for the city. Are there any of you who bully the families of heroes like you?"
"What the hell!"
Kuishan didn't understand what he was talking about, didn't bother to pay attention, and walked out directly.
"Hey, stop here! We've already agreed that you have to deliver something to my brother!"
Geng Bing immediately came up to him, raised the wooden box and stopped it in front of Kuishan: "The money has been given away, how can you do things so randomly!"
Kuishan said impatiently: "Say it again, get out of here!"
"You are a little concierge, please keep your mouth clean!"
Kuishan was not polite anymore, he raised his foot and kicked him in the chest.
"And beating people..."
Geng Bing clenched a fist with one hand and punched out, originally thinking of blocking the kick and then reasoning.
But as soon as they made contact, Geng Bing's expression suddenly changed.
A strong force came from the opponent's feet, instantly kicking his right hand off. The remaining force was like a galloping horse, hitting his chest hard!
Pong!
There was a muffled sound, and the huge force enveloped Geng Bing's body, sending him flying several feet away and falling heavily to the ground.
The wooden box in his hand collapsed instantly, and preserved fruits, dried meat, and clothes were scattered everywhere.
Geng Bing covered his chest, his face was like gold paper, and he fell in the mess. He pointed at Kuishan and shouted in fear: "Gang, Gang..."
Then his head tilted to the side, as if there was no sound.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
His wife screamed at the side, which was extremely harsh.
"Shut up! Otherwise I'll beat you to death too!"
Kuishan shouted loudly, and Geng Bing's wife froze as if she was stuck.
"Bad luck, come on, come on, Lin Yan, come in with me!"
Lin Yan was trembling all over and breathing heavily.
The way Geng Bing looked, it was possible that his sternum had penetrated his heart and he was no longer alive.
Geng Bing, who was arrogant and domineering just now, turned into a limp corpse in just a few seconds.
Lin Yan took a deep breath.
This is the law of this world!
The weak will eat the strong, life and death will be taken away from you. If you cannot become the strong one who determines your destiny, you will die at any time like Geng Bing and Hu Biao!
He is not alone. He wants to ensure Xiaozhi's safety and protect Xiaozhi from growing up safely. If he has the ability, he would like to find out why his father died...
"So, how can I not practice martial arts?"
