The Dominance of Martial Arts: Starting from the Tiger Roaring Golden Bell

Chapter 87 Eating
Bang! Four strong men broke through the stall hidden on the roadside and rushed straight to the carriage a few steps away.

Seeing that the young man was still coughing, the leader's eyes flashed with ferocity. Good opportunity!
Bang, bang, bang. Seeing this, three strong men on horseback nearby immediately pulled the trigger.

Three crossbow arrows shot out and knocked the two strong men away instantly.

The remaining two strong men rushed to the front of the carriage.

Just when one person was about to grab the young man.

Bang! The crossbow in the young man's hand was fired.

The crossbow arrow shot into the man's eye socket and he fell to the ground immediately.

"Junior brother!" The leader glanced at the fallen junior brother, roared loudly, and grabbed the young man's neck.

The next moment, the young man stretched out his right hand to meet the leader's left hand.

The contact between the two was like iron and wood colliding.

The leader's left arm suddenly twisted and his body was thrown aside by Qin Zhiming like a wooden stick.

He wanted to get up, but before he could move, the strong men who had dismounted from their horses came and pinned him down with his face pressed to the ground.

"Brother Tiger, are you okay?!"

Di Yanfeng, who was patrolling the convoy back and forth, immediately rushed here to check the situation.

"Ahem, you call that guy Junior Brother? Which martial arts school is he from? How dare you rob our Fanhai Gang?"

Qin Zhiming coughed violently and waved his hands to indicate that he was fine.

Seeing that the man on the ground didn't say anything, Qin Zhiming asked his brothers to bring the two people who were shot by the crossbow.

"Don't tell?" Qin Zhiming took the dagger handed to him by his brother.

In front of that person, he cut one person's throat.

Puff! Blood splattered and the body fell to the ground.

"Come at me! Don't touch my brother!"

The man cursed loudly with his eyes bloodshot, and struggled with his legs to get up, but his upper body and head were pressed down firmly and he could not move at all.

Watching Qin Zhiming walk towards another person, the man's cursing became more intense.

"I say! We are from the Broken Rock Martial Arts School! We just want to grab a bite of food!

Please forgive us, please let us go!!!"

The man who was about to have his throat cut saw Qin Zhiming walking towards him and was frightened and cried out.

The leader glared at him first, then sighed:

"Let him go. I instigated them to do this. You can kill him or chop him up as you like."

After hearing this, Qin Zhiming signaled his brothers to let the two men go.

The brothers did as they were told decisively, gripping their crossbows tightly and staring at them intently.

If they dare to act rashly, they will be shot into hedgehogs.

"You four are leather warriors after all, how come you can't even afford to eat?"

Qin Zhiming frowned.

The leader laughed bitterly:
"It's all your Fanhai Gang's fault. Why are you trying to exchange food for the whole city?
In addition, the Gao family stopped selling grain, causing grain prices to soar throughout the city.

The most important thing is that in the past two days, no grain shop in the outer city area has sold any grain.

Even in Animal Alley, there was not a single piece of meat left.

Upon asking around, I found out that the food from the outer city areas was snatched away by the inner city areas at high prices.

Now in the outer city, most people have money but no food.

You also know that people who practice martial arts have a large appetite. If they don’t eat for a day, they will feel very hungry.

We just couldn’t stand it anymore, so we did this.”

"How many warriors like you are out to rob things?"

The leader shook his head:

“Not many, now the people have crossbows, and some even have poison.

If we were not so hungry, we would not have taken such a risk. "

"The martial arts school doesn't care about you?"

"How can I care? My master, who is so proud of himself, is still waiting for us to bring him food."

Hearing about the miserable plight of these people, the members of the Fanhai Gang looked at each other in bewilderment.

He secretly thanked his luck that he was a seafarer and there was no shortage of food in his territory.

"Why don't you go and grab some food from the sea?"

Qin Zhiming's question left everyone puzzled.

The leader thought for a moment:

“I don’t dare to go. Although you have the most food in the city, you also have many people in the Fanhai Gang.

Most of you stay in your territory and don't come out. The fact that you can exchange powerful crossbows, iron armor and poison for food shows that you are not short of these.

When all the forces are struggling to protect themselves, who among us ordinary warriors dares to cause trouble?"

Qin Zhiming nodded: "Okay, since you told the truth, I'll let you go." A moment passed and he watched the convoy leaving.

The leader and his fellow apprentice heaved a sigh of relief, and just as they were preparing to collect their companion's body.

Whoosh! A crossbow arrow shot through the chest of the junior fellow apprentice, and the leader was also shot down to the ground by a crossbow arrow.

With a creak, the door of the shop closest to the two of them opened a crack.

The shopkeeper holding a powerful crossbow slowly stuck his head out and saw that there was no one around. He led the guy who had just shot the crossbow arrow through the window and ran to the corpse.

They skillfully took off the corpse's clothes and changed them into tight-fitting clothes embroidered with the words "Jingtao".

There are so many people in the Jingtao Gang, how many of them does the government know?

"Boss! Four leather-trained warriors! We are going to make a fortune!"

The guy was beaming.

"Find a flatbed truck! Drag these four to the government office to claim the reward!" the shopkeeper laughed softly.

At this time, the guy touched his rumbling stomach and hesitated.

"Boss, you keep saying you're hungry, just bear with it and it will pass.

But I have been hungry for a whole day and there is not a grain of food in the shop.

Now you can’t even buy food with money, so why do you need money?”

The shopkeeper didn't know what to say for a moment.

He raised his hand angrily and slapped the guy on the back of the head.

"What nonsense! Just do whatever you are told to do!
How can food be as important as money? Who would complain about having too little money? In short, the more money the better... "

Halfway through his words, the shopkeeper's stomach also started to growl.

At this moment, he thought of something and immediately ran to the place where the strong men had been hiding before.

As he expected, he turned over the broken wooden boards and found four bundles.

When I tore it open, I saw steamed buns and roast chicken.

Looking at the shopkeeper who was eating voraciously and no longer paying attention to the four corpses.

The fellow cursed under his breath and immediately ran to his side.

"Shopkeeper! Leave some for me! Leave some!"

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Deserted streets.

Di Yanfeng suddenly tightened the reins, and the horse neighed and slowly stopped.

He frowned, dismounted, and walked over to the two corpses with wide eyes.

Look at the piece of cloth held in the corpse's hand.

He sighed deeply and wanted to reach out and cover the eyes of the corpse.

"Don't touch."

Qin Zhiming heard the neighing of horses, got off the car and walked over to check the situation, and the entire team came to a standstill.

"what happened?"

"They are the couple who used silver ingots to exchange for food."

Di Yanfeng sighed.

"It was probably done by the four warriors we encountered."

Qin Zhiming said as he observed the injuries on the corpse.

"I should have killed them earlier!"

Di Yanfeng's eyes flashed with ferocity.

“Don’t worry, they won’t survive if we leave.

Of the four leather-training warriors, two died and two were injured.

If we pretend that they are members of the Jing Tao Gang, we can get a lot of money from the government, and those people will not let them go."

"If you can't buy food, what's the point of having money?"

Di Yanfeng asked doubtfully.

Qin Zhiming looked around, at the shops on both sides of the street, and at the people standing behind the windows:

“Because a lot of people still don’t realize this.

The outer city is different from the inner city. The people here are isolated from the news and tend to go with the flow.

It is not until the abyss is right in front of you that you realize something is wrong.

Even when their house was filled with money, their stomachs were still empty.

When hunger completely takes over their bodies, they will disregard life and death for the sake of food.

At that time, the entire county town, including us, will fall into the abyss. "
