Chapter 180 Kucai Village

My wife was right. In a battle, the paper girl printed by Li Banfeng could not last for more than a minute before she broke into pieces.

In fact, it was still far from a minute. Li Banfeng used a pocket watch to time the time. Standing in place and doing nothing, the paper girl could last for fifteen minutes.

Doing some chores could last for three and a half minutes.

Fighting with fists and feet, it would take about fifteen to twenty seconds.

Fighting with weapons, it would take about ten to fifteen seconds.

The time was indeed short, but the paper girl could fight. The specific combat power depended on Li Banfeng's intention.

If the intention was instilled more gently, the paper girl could perform simple actions such as punching and stabbing.

If the intention was instilled more violently, the paper girl could still display a certain degree of martial arts, but it would break into pieces faster.

Zhong Bai advised: "Master, you should learn painting skills from me. This trick is too useless."

"You have to learn painting skills, but this trick is also very useful." Li Banfeng bought a bunch of brushes and paints. While learning painting skills with Zhong Bai, he trained the paper figures he printed, striving to exert the greatest combat effectiveness in a limited time.

Both of these things are not easy. Li Banfeng prepared all the expenses and went to Xindi for retreat and cultivation.

Walking on the road, Li Banfeng suddenly talked to himself:

"Did you forget something?"

"What?"

"Aren't you going back to Yuezhou?"

"There's no rush for this."

"Why not?"

"He is still in Yuezhou. I don't know what he's thinking. If I go back now, I'm afraid I won't be his opponent."

...

In Yuezhou, Zou Guoming (Big Head), an agent of the Dark Star Bureau, was eating at home, eating the food cooked by his wife.

Big Head's wife is Miao Ruifang. She is a good cook, can manage the household, is very frugal, and is very considerate.

But since losing her job, Miao Ruifang's temperament has changed a bit.

Halfway through the meal, she suddenly put down her chopsticks and said to Datou: "Let's sell the house."

"Why?" Datou was stunned.

In Yuezhou, owning a 103-square-meter house is Datou's only pride in the past few years.

Miao Ruifang said: "The child will go to junior high school next year. Either get a school district house or send the child to private school. We can't make do with elementary school like this."

The income of the Dark Star Bureau is not low. Even if my wife doesn't have a job, the family's life is quite comfortable.

But the tuition fees of private schools in Yuezhou are shocking.

As for school district houses, people don't even have the strength to tremble.

Datou looked at his wife and said: "I'll find a way to get a degree."

"What can you think of? You said you would find a way when you were in elementary school. What did you think of?"

When the child was in elementary school, the bureau promised to apply for a degree for Datou in a key elementary school.

The degree was finally applied for, but for various reasons, the degree was not given to Datou.

The explanation given by the bureau to Datou was that they wanted to consider the overall situation.

The bureau also agreed to apply for the junior high school degree, but what if they asked him to consider the overall situation again?

"I'm on night shift tonight, so I'm leaving first." Datou put down his chopsticks and put on his jacket.

"Didn't you just work the night shift yesterday?"

"I'm working overtime today."

"I really don't know what kind of job you do!"

In the more than ten years of marriage, his wife has never been to Datou's company, nor has she asked much about Datou's work. She only knows that Datou works in an electrical appliance company, but she doesn't understand why electrical appliance companies often work night shifts.

If you don't understand, don't ask. His wife cleaned up the dishes with a gloomy face, and Datou lowered his head and left the house.

Datou didn't have to work the night shift today, so he went to Huahu Park.

Walking behind the western-style building, he saw the sobbing woman again.

Hu Lishan, who committed suicide by jumping into the lake, is she still here?

She has not been here for a long time, neither her body nor her soul is here.

What was left here was just a mark, a mark that He Jiaqing left for Datou. Only Datou could see the sobbing woman, and seeing her would help him find the entrance to the new land.

Datou followed the woman into the lake step by step. Unlike before, Datou was well prepared.

He brought an oxygen bag to ensure that he could hold on for twenty minutes.

He knew how to leave the new land. If he couldn't hold on, he could also escape.

Diving into the cold lake, Datou found a loach in the mud at the bottom of the lake.

Datou carefully pulled the loach out of the mud, and it was estimated to be twelve or thirteen centimeters long.

This loach can make a man grow five or six centimeters. No surgery is needed, just eat the loach.

Datou once followed a case in which someone brought this loach from Prosperity to the black market for sale. A loach could be sold for 800,000 yuan. The case was eventually dropped, but Datou knew where the black market was and who to find to ship it.

I just did a business. I caught the loach and sold it. It's not a big deal.

A loach can't buy a school district house, but it's enough for three years of tuition at a private school.

Datou was holding the loach and preparing to float up. The loach, which was originally quite docile, suddenly burst out with a strange force, broke free from Datou's hand, and bit Datou fiercely.

After a burst of severe pain, Datou's body began to paralyze, and his head hit the lake surface, as if hitting a rock.

He couldn't open the lake.

He couldn't get out!

Datou didn't know what to do under the tension. Although he had been to Xindi before, this environment was still too unfamiliar to him.

A hole suddenly appeared on the lake surface, and a hand pulled Datou's clothes and lifted him up.

It was He Jiaqing.

"I am a patient. I have to lie on the hospital bed. I can't always run out to save you!" He Jiaqing looked at the scars on Datou's hands and asked, "What are you doing catching loaches?"

"I want to make some extra money, and I want to earn tuition money for my children." Datou told the children about their schooling.

He Jiaqing gave Da Tou an elixir: "A fifth-level martial arts cultivator, are you worried about this little money? You might as well go to Puozhou and be a big supporter for others, and you can earn more than you do now."

Datou took the elixir and quickly thanked him.

He really wanted to visit Puzhou, but he couldn't leave his wife and children behind.

"I'll try going to the lake again." The elixir took effect, and the numbness on his body was relieved a lot. Da Tou wanted to go to the lake again, but He Jiaqing stopped him.

"You go to the black market to do business, aren't you afraid that someone will investigate you?"

Datou was silent for a moment and said: "There are also people in the bureau who deal with the black market, and they have not been investigated."

"They are not under investigation, but you are not them! If you ship the goods today, they may go in tomorrow! How do you want your wife and children to live?"

Big head remained silent.

He Jiaqing thought for a moment and said, "Is your wife unemployed?"

Big head nodded.

"What was your previous job?"

"The lobby manager of the hotel, the hotel has gone bankrupt, and her job is gone."

"I have a friend who has just opened a hotel and is in need of a lobby manager. The salary is 20,000 yuan a month, plus bonuses. I will pay for the degree and let your wife go to work."

Datou has a special status. If you want to help him, you can't give him money directly, otherwise Datou will definitely be investigated.

This is the safest method that He Jiaqing thought of.

Datou was stunned.

He didn't understand why He Jiaqing wanted to help him.

He knew that He Jiaqing was a person who could change his destiny. It was He Jiaqing who allowed him to see new places outside the state, and the two of them would cooperate on some things in the future.

But since the two met, He Jiaqing never asked him anything or asked him to do anything.

"Why are you helping me?"

"No reason, you are a person with real ability, and people with real ability should live decently." He Jiaqing took out a pen and paper and wrote down the address of the hotel.

He just got the pen and paper from the stationery store. He moved so fast that he couldn't see clearly with his big head.

"Martial cultivators on the fifth floor must live a tough life. Why would you risk your life for something like this?" He Jiaqing gave the hotel's address to Da Tou, "Come to me if you have anything to do in the future."

…

"Can you please stop coming to me?" Ma Wu looked at Chu Er helplessly, "The incident at Paramount is over. I have already hid in Xindi. Why are you still pestering me?"

Chu Er looked a little sad: "I came to see you to say goodbye. I'm going to Kucaizhuang to practice."

After experiencing what happened at Paramount, Chu Er also became more sober. In Puozhou, the hardest asset is cultivation.

Ma Wu nodded and said: "It's good to go to Kucaizhuang. Do you have no road guide or no tolls? You don't need a road guide to Kucaizhuang. If you don't have tolls, I'll lend you some."

Chu Ershang rolled his eyes and said, "Ma Wu, there is some affection between us. You don't have to be so mean when you speak."

"I have no affection for you, never have. Do you have anything else? If nothing happens, I won't send you off."

Yanzi once told Ma Wu not to talk about love with Kuxiu. Kuxiu doesn't talk about love, nor does he talk about love. If she really thinks about it, she will never say it. If she does say it out, it will definitely be an act.

Just like Zhong Desong towards Mrs. Han, no matter how much he thought about it, he never dared to tell her.

Chu Er sighed and said, "I really have one thing to ask you. I want to see Li Qi."

"Why did you meet him? Do you know each other? Just dance with him once, don't say there is any friendship here!"

When it comes to feelings, Chu Er himself doesn't believe it.

But she knew that since Ma Wu met Li Qi, the situation was completely different. Li Banfeng had the ability to help people turn around.

"I respect capable people, and I just want to meet him, otherwise I won't leave."

"I can't help you if you don't leave. Li Qi isn't here."

"He has a piece of land here," Chu Er looked at Ma Wu calmly, "If I can find you, I can find him, but if I go find him by myself, I won't be sure what I will do."

Ma Wu sneered: "What can you do? Am I still afraid of you?"

Chu Er lowered his head and said, "You can make a bet."

Ma Wu was silent for a long time and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll take you to have a look, but if Li Qi doesn't want to see you, there's nothing I can do about it."

The two plots of land are ten miles apart. Under Ma Wu's arrangement, a row of wooden houses was built on each side.

Arriving at the door of Li Banfeng's wooden house, Ma Wu knocked on the door, but there was no response: "It's unfortunate that you came, Li Qi is not here."

Chu Er sat in front of the door and said, "I'll wait for him here."

"Don't wait. Once he leaves, he may not come back for three to five days."

Chu Er sat for more than half an hour, but he really didn't see Li Qi and left with a depressed look on his face.

Ma Wu did not send him far away, and returned to his own land to find Yanzi to practice.

There are so many aliens in Xindi, but Ma Wu is the best to Yan Zi. His love for Yan Zi is not in vain. He practices with Madame Moth on the eighth floor. Ma Wu's cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds and he has already reached the second floor. If Chu Er dares to mess around, he will do it at any time. Accompany you.

But he didn't expect that Chu Er didn't go far and came back again.

She pried open Li Banfeng's door and entered the house quietly.

The wooden house was just built, and there were few furnishings inside, only a table, a bed and a few boxes.

Li Banfeng is really not here.

Chu Er rummaged around and found a key in the gap between the bed boards.

What is this key?

Did it fall here, or was it hidden here?

Chu Er put the key away and smiled.

If this key is not important, I will keep it as a souvenir.

If this key is important, you will definitely come to find me!

…

The train arrived at Kucai Village Station, and Chu Er was ready to get off.

Yang Yanzheng and Wen Hongyan wanted to follow, but were stopped by Chu Er.

“You know the rules of Kucai Village, so go back. Don’t come to me unless it’s urgent.”

Chu Er got off the train with his suitcase, and Wen Hongyan and Yang Yanzheng looked at him worriedly.

“Old Yang, what should we do if she makes trouble in Kucai Village again?”

“She will be beaten if she deserves to be beaten, and she will be punished if she deserves to be punished. It depends on her own luck. What else can we do?”

…

Li Banfeng was controlling the paper doll with his mind, and was fighting with Tang Dao.

As soon as Tang Dao made a move, the paper doll broke into two pieces.

Li Banfeng was unhappy: "Didn't I tell you not to kill me?"

Tang Dao said: "I only used 30% of my strength, this woman really couldn't stand it."

"Then use 20% of your strength this time!"

With 20% of strength, the paper girl couldn't resist.

After three cuts, Tang Dao took a break and replaced Zhong Pendulum.

The paper girl still couldn't last a round in front of Zhong Pendulum.

What's the use of her?

When fighting, it's better to let Zhong Pendulum go directly.

No, I have to practice more!

Li Banfeng didn't go out for two days and practiced the fourth level skills hard.

The practice of Lu Xiu was delayed a little, but the skills did improve.

He controlled the paper man and Zhong Pendulum for two rounds. Although Zhong Pendulum was willing to give in, the paper man also had a chance to fight back.

The white paper was almost used up, and Li Banfeng wanted to find Ma Wu for a point. He pushed the door and found that he was not in the wooden house, but in a mud house.

The dark earthen house was dilapidated, with only a hole in the south wall, which could barely be considered a window.

What is this place?

Li Banfeng's head buzzed, and he realized that his key had been picked up.

There was a sound in the outer room.

It seemed that someone was chopping wood.

Li Banfeng walked to the outer room and saw a simple peasant woman with a towel wrapped around her head, wearing coarse cloth clothes, holding an axe, looking at Li Banfeng in surprise.

"You really came to see me!" The peasant woman looked surprised.

Li Banfeng looked for a long time and asked, "Who are you?"

Chu Er took off the towel on his head, wiped the dust off his face and said, "Don't you recognize me?"

Do I know her?

She looks a little familiar.

"What is this place?"

Chu Er was stunned for a long time and asked, "You came here by yourself, don't you know where this place is? This is Kucai Village!"

PS: There are big shots in Kucai Village!
