Chapter 684 Disaster and Disaster
Beiyue Country is very hard.
After coming here for half a year, the brother and sister finally have a place to live.
This place is very different from the Yu Country where they live, whether it is the customs and the martial arts world. The people here are very indifferent and very exclusive of outsiders. The brother and sister spent a lot of effort to settle here.
"Zhao Kun!!"
Chen Hen looked at the empty box in front of him, his eyes full of bloodshot.
This box was left to the brother and sister by their mother before she died. It was filled with the silver money accumulated in the family and the family secrets of their Chen family. All the hopes in Chen Hen's heart were placed on this box. He planned to use the silver money to buy medicinal materials and practice after his body recovered a little. But he didn't expect that the silver money and secrets were all gone, leaving only an empty box.
If it weren't for his sister Chen Yuan who fainted due to a serious illness, he wouldn't have found it until now.
Chen Hen panted, and his chest hurt violently again.
He suppressed the hatred in his heart and helped his sister Chen Yuan who fainted. As soon as his hand touched, he was stunned. He found that Chen Yuan's hands were full of wounds, her slender jade-like palms were full of scars, and there was a scar on her forearm. She also put away her favorite long skirt and changed into a capable short shirt.
During the six months when Chen Hen was seriously ill and bedridden, Chen Yuan took care of everything alone.
She used the gold and silver left by her mother to exchange the lives of the two siblings from the housekeeper Zhao Kun. Maybe he felt guilty, or maybe he didn't care about them, so the housekeeper Zhao Kun let them go.
After that, he fled all the way north to Beiyue Country, and then he had a new beginning.
But this new beginning was too difficult.
Chen Yuan got up early and went to bed late every day. Relying on the simple boxing and kicking skills she had mastered before, she took her brother to gain a foothold in the market. She was a lady from a noble family who only knew how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. In just six months, she became a black lady who showed up in the market. She killed decisively with a single knife, and no one dared to bully her.
The market and the rivers and lakes are two different worlds.
Chen Yuan's mediocre skills were useless against the people of the underworld, but they were very useful in the market.
Everything was getting better until half a month ago, when Chen Hen ran out of medicine.
When Chen Hen found out, his sister Chen Yuan was leaning against the wall alone and fainted. Until the last moment before she fainted, she was very careful, fearing that her own affairs would disturb her brother Chen Hen's recuperation.
"Medicine money. I should have thought of it earlier."
After helping his sister Chen Yuan deal with the wound, Chen Hen sat down on the ground next to him and gasped for breath.
His body was too weak, and a few simple movements exhausted all his strength. Now his chest was burning with pain, and the palm poison left in his body by the black-hearted old man began to attack again. His eyes turned black, and even his hands and feet had no strength.
It took him a long time to come back to his senses.
He tried to use the family's mental method, but the result was a burning pain, and the severe pain almost made him faint.
The black-hearted old man cut off his meridians, and he couldn't use any martial arts.
"We must find a way to change the situation, and there is also Zhao Kun, the bastard!!!"
Hate surged, and Chen Hen's eyes were bloodshot.
Outside the sky, a blood-red meteor streaked across the sky, and a wisp of demonic red breath merged into his body, making him hate it. He hated his own weakness, Zhao Kun's betrayal, the demon sect that destroyed their Chen family, and the black-hearted old man.
Faces passed by one by one, and hatred was overwhelming.
Night.
Starry sky.
After making sure that his sister Chen Yuan was asleep, Chen Hen got up and walked out of the yard.
He looked up at the sky above, and the familiar sense of disobedience surged into his heart again. Just at this moment, another meteor streaked across the sky. Unlike the demonic red meteor in front, this meteor was as white as jade, with a sense of tranquility.
'Survival from a desperate situation. '
Chen Hen closed his eyes, and a wisp of light merged into his eyebrows.
'Concentrate and calm down, and abandon distracting thoughts. ’
He found that there was a voice in his mind, and it felt like a second soul. It had completely different cognition and judgment from him, and was not affected by the ‘hatred’ in his body.
Three days later.
Sister Chen Yuan recovered from her injuries.
Chen Hen did not rest at home, and his body got better. Although he still could not practice martial arts, he felt that he should go out to help his sister, after all, he was the only man in this family.
The market was very chaotic.
Chen Yuan made money from a small vegetable stall.
She bought goods from old farmers outside the city a long time ago, and then set up a stall here to sell. The dozen vendors next to her were ordinary people she protected.
The name of the black lady had already been opened in the market, and ordinary rascals did not dare to trouble her.
The serious injury three days ago was due to medicinal materials.
In order to help her brother get the elixir, Chen Yuan took a private job. This private job was related to a gang. Although it was only the lowest third-rate gang, it still almost took Chen Yuan's life. But fortunately, she survived without any danger, and her brother Chen Hen had medicine again, and this time the amount was enough for half a year.
"Sister, why don't we go inside to set up a stall?"
Chen Hen pointed to the market inside.
The business over there is obviously better than here, and the rich people are all over there, and it is obviously easier to make money than here.
"That is the territory of the Yellow River Gang, with the archway as the boundary, and you must not cross the border." Chen Yuan reminded.
Fangshi is divided into three, six or nine grades. The places where Chen Yuan can hang out are only those places that Jianghu gangs look down on, such as the small alleys in the corners of Fangshi and Chin Alley. There are only these corners that Jianghu gangs despise. There are very few people consuming here, the things they can buy are very cheap, and the profits are so small that it is difficult to survive.
Just like this, there were scoundrels hanging around in the past. Chen Yuan had to fight many times in order to gain a foothold here.
Over there, Chen Yuan has already set up her stall and started a new day of business.
Three texts, two texts.
Every penny was spent in disputes for a long time, and some old bachelors glanced at Chen Yuan with ill intentions and made dirty jokes from time to time. Chen Yuan was already used to it, and she went about her business as usual. Unless those people cross the line, she turns a blind eye.
Chen Hen clenched his hands subconsciously, and the second thought popped up in his mind again.
‘Concentrate your mind and calm your energy, strengthen your foundation and cultivate your strength. ’
A fat man in black cloth stopped in front of Chen Yuan's stall. She picked up a radish and weighed it twice in her hands.
"If you don't buy it, put it down." Chen Yuan's voice was very cold.
It can be seen from his expression that he most likely knows the fat man in black in front of him.
"You did a good job last time. Are you interested in helping me?"
The fat man in black put down the carrot in his hand, took out a money bag and put it aside.
The mouth of the bag opened, and two pieces of broken silver rolled out.
This scene attracted the attention of everyone nearby. In this Chin Alley, where only copper plates were traded, someone suddenly appeared with silver. This behavior was not normal in any way.
"Not interested."
Chen Yuan refused without thinking.
"Don't refuse in a hurry. I believe you will change your mind." The fat man in black smiled and picked up a carrot. Without looking at the purse next to him, he turned around and walked towards the archway.
Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes flashed with awe.
That's the territory of the Yellow River Gang.
The Yellow River Gang is a Jianghu Gang!
Chen Yuan silently put away the money bag on the stall. She would never have taken this money before, but now she has learned to keep her head down.
People will always grow.
After a busy day, Chen Hen didn't speak much the whole time. Except for helping his sister set up the vegetables and close the stall, he was silent the rest of the time. Another voice in his mind told him to concentrate on refining his energy and not be disturbed by external objects.
However, he couldn't remain indifferent.
Life goes on, and three months have passed in a blink of an eye.
In three months, Chen Hen's body had recovered a little. He no longer had to sit down and catch his breath as before, but he couldn't cultivate his internal strength. As long as he practiced the exercises, his body would be in burning pain. He had to practice the exercises forcibly several times, and he passed out from the exercises.
Apart from causing trouble to her sister Chen Yuan, she did nothing to help her.
Rainy night.
There are also meteors streaking across the sky, demonic red meteors and sapphire white stars. Another thought came to Chen Hen's mind.
That night, the pharmacy caught fire.
The medicinal materials that Chen Yuan worked so hard to earn were destroyed by the fire.
Disaster was like a demon star, following Chen Hen, and the hatred in his heart became more and more intense.
"There's always a way."
Chen Yuan, who put out the fire, stood outside the house, letting the rain soak her body. She looked at the charred house in front of her and murmured to herself.
Chen Yuan joined the Yellow River Gang.
The next afternoon, she helped Chen Hen buy back all the lost medicinal materials, and she also changed her clothes. The smile on her face was still the same as in her memory.
But Chen Hen knew that he couldn't go back.
Chen Hen was lying on the bed coughing violently. He accidentally caught the cold due to the rain yesterday. He felt powerless again. The hatred towards the black-hearted old man and housekeeper Zhao Kun deepened in his heart.
"Recuperate well, I'll take care of everything."
Chen Yuan put her brother's hand into the quilt, her eyes full of reluctance.
Gangs and gangs will never do business at a loss.
Chen Hen didn't know what price his sister paid, but there was nothing he could do. Two voices in his mind kept telling him to concentrate and meditate, to strengthen his foundation and cultivate his strength.
Only by taking good care of his body can he make a comeback, but he really can't do it.
The leader of the Yellow River Gang is named Cheng Xiong.
He is a second-rate master who is famous for his black claw skills. He is very famous in the Changxin City area. People in the world give him the nickname, Black Claw King.
"Old Luo, the military attache of Beihe, has rejected us three times. Ambassador Yaksha, you take people to slaughter their whole family at night and hang their heads at the city gate."
Chengxiong sat on a tiger-skin throne, with two rows of people standing below.
These people are all masters of the Yellow River Gang. Chen Yuan stood at the end, wearing a ghost mask on her face like the others. This is the rule of the Yellow River Gang. After joining the Yellow River Gang, Chen Yuan learned that this gang was a rebel. They were a subordinate force of the Yellow River Sect. Their mission was to help the Yellow River Sect collect hilt weapons and accumulate food. (End of chapter)
