Dark Fairy

Chapter 10 Business on Yuhua Street
"Okay, you don't need to change the dressing for your injury. Wash it with warm water every day, and don't do anything to others. It will be fine in another ten days or so."

"This scar?"

"Scar? Tsk, there is ointment for removing scars. Your scar is more than half a foot long, so it counts as two boxes? One box is worth money. Are you going to sell hooks? Or are you going to rob the bank?"

"Ah? Forget it, I'll just ask casually, don't take it seriously."

"Hmph, are men afraid of having scars? People with scars don't have any pretense on their faces. Get out of here!"

Bailang wasn't afraid of having scars, he just thought it would be best if he didn't leave scars.I was worried that the doctor was used to being rude and didn't take it seriously, but now I understand.It's not that people don't take it seriously, but that the medicine for removing scars is so expensive that ordinary people can't afford it.

The injury is now very good, but according to the doctor's advice, he can't do anything yet, so Bailang can still recuperate at home for a few days.Of course, it’s impossible to do absolutely nothing.Although doctors have a high status in the knife studio, they don't always get what they say.If Bai Lang wants to continue to hang out in the knife shop, he still needs to show his attitude.

So after he came out of the medical hall, Bai Lang went to find Zhou Dong, and planned to start spinning around again.

"Xiaobai, why don't you rest at home and come to me?"

"Brother Dong, the doctor I just went to said that my injury is almost healed. Look, the bandages are gone and the scars are all gone."

"Ah? So fast?! You are like an animal, the boss shut up so quickly?" Zhou Dong said the same words as the doctors in the medical hall.He has seen many mouths open due to trauma, and many openings that are not as big as Bailang can only be closed in the past few months.This was the first time he had seen Bailang in such a situation.

What can Bai Lang say?Animal is not a good word, but he has no way to object now, and it is indeed different from ordinary people that he can recover so quickly.But he was very clear that the injury healed so quickly this time was not due to any special constitution, but the credit of the "Cultivation of Qi".

The icy cold inner energy generated during the practice of this technique not only stimulates the potential, but also nourishes the body like nectar, greatly shortening the recovery time that was originally needed.

In fact, "Nursing Qi Jue" improves the body's affinity for the Qi of the five elements, which is to change the constitution.Bailang benefited from his injury this time, but it just happened at the right time.

Bailang has not noticed this yet, and he doesn't even care about the "affinity of the five elements' qi" for the time being.

"Brother Dong, where shall we go later?"

It's the middle of the month, but the errands for the second half of the year have been settled, and there is no urgent thing to do for the time being.Just wait until the end of the year when the knife restaurant drinks the New Year's wine and share the rewards.That's why Bailang asked Zhou Dong where he was going, after all, he was free now.

The only variable is the blood guards of those state capitals.When Zhou Dong came to visit Bailang before, he said that he was "too busy to touch the ground" because of the temporary errands brought by these blood guards.

Since Bailang was severely tested at home a few days ago, he had no news about the blood guard for a few days.It is inevitable that there is a lot of anxiety in my heart.He knew that he had passed a test, but he didn't know if there would be doubts about him later.

"Where are you going? There are people looking for trouble on Yuhua Street. If you are in a hurry, go and have a look with me."

"Yuhua Street? Didn't you mean those people in the state capital before?"

Before Bai Lang could finish speaking, Zhou Dong waved his hand and said, "The people of the Blood Guard have all left. In other words, they have gone to a dark place."

"what?"

"Ah what? They have been struggling for so long, they can't keep dragging it out like this, right? Even if our sword shop doesn't say anything, the Yamen and the City Lord's Mansion still can't stand it?
Since yesterday afternoon, we can no longer see them on the streets.But I guess it won't be so easy to completely break up. It should be a different approach. If the light doesn't work, then it will be the secret.

But this has nothing to do with us.The Red Sword Master also told us this morning that we should not talk about the Blood Guard in private.I guess I’m just trying to prevent some unpleasant words from being heard in the dark, and we can’t afford to offend others.”

Zhou Dong spoke very quietly, ensuring that only he and Bailang could hear it.And while he was talking, he kept walking.

Bailang followed half a step behind, chatting with Zhou Dong at the same time.My heart was greatly relieved.It seems that I have indeed messed up before.Although the blood guard had doubts about him, those doubts should have been dispelled after the trial.The man in black should be dead.Now that the blood guard has turned dark, he should still be "unwilling" to insist on not leaving.After all, that clay figurine contains the exercises with blue characters, so if it were Bailang, it would be no problem to come here and look for it for a year or two.

Now Bailang only needs to maintain his "completely unaware" behavior trajectory.

"Ma Liu, do you know this person?"

"I know, there are quite famous gangsters on Yuhua Street, who do pimps and casual jobs. I heard that half of the casual jobs outside Hualou have been done by him. I don't know if it's true." Bailang knew that this was in the Let's get down to business.

"Of course it's fake."

"Let me just say, it's too exaggerated to pass half of the casual work to Ma Liu."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Dong shook his head and smiled: "No, Xiaobai, you don't understand. I mean half is less, so the rumor is false, it should be [-] to [-] percent."

"Ah?" Bailang was stunned.In his impression, Ma Liu was just an ordinary street bastard.Just some reputation.How can a pimp handle such a big scene?Can the knife hall accommodate him?
"The flower building is renovated every year, and the decoration, food, wine, rooms, and girls inside also change every year. Old people go and new people come. The only thing that remains unchanged is the ability to swallow gold inside. Ordinary people can't bear it. Even if I am alone, People who have fed their whole family and are not hungry dare not go. They will only go to the Qianfang to play tooth festivals when they are lucky. On weekdays, they only find scattered ways to play.

Therefore, the flower building business in Yuhua Street accounts for the majority, and the high prices account for it.In terms of quantity, in fact, scattered businesses are the most.

This Maliu is much more powerful than you know. "

"The knife shop doesn't care about him?"

Zhou Dong smiled and patted Bai Lang on the shoulder, then flirted with him and said with a smile: "You are not very old, and you always see things in such detail. You are born to be a knife master, and you are much better than me back then."

After a pause, Zhou Dong went on to say: "Ma Liu's business is not taxable. It should be done. But it can't be stopped. So instead of cutting one crop after another, it's better to change the name. Take a share of the pie. This is the job of our knife shop. But there is someone behind Ma Liu? The knife shop can't afford it, so it can only be out of sight and out of mind."

"Such a strong backer? Who is it?" Bailang heard for the first time that the Knife Shop was underwhelmed by his business.

"How do I know who it is specifically? But, I heard that it may be a direct kinship through the city lord's wife."

"Tut tsk, that's no wonder. But Brother Dong, didn't you say you were in trouble just now? Could it be Ma Liu? Has something to do with us?"

"Well, several people died over there. The Yamen didn't want to take care of it, so we left it to us."

Bailang was dumbfounded.

"Ah? This kind of thing can also be thrown at us?!"
