Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 3 Small success
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

Moon stars are rare.

Li Rui slowly opened his eyes and felt something strange in his lower body.

One pillar holds the sky.

A long-lost feeling.

It seems that practicing martial arts is indeed very effective.

During this period of time, apart from the necessary inspections at the stables, he spent the rest of the time hiding in the house to practice martial arts, and the effect was extremely obvious. He had secretly tried it, and lifting a 200-pound boulder was no problem at all.

A 70-year-old man can do 200 clean and lifts. In his previous life, he would be the god of the park.

Ba Duan Jin doesn't have much killing power, but it can still kill someone if you have enough strength.

With Li Rui's current strength, most of the Zhu family's guards are probably no match for him.

Li Rui first inspected the stables, and then practiced Ba Duan Jin four times.

He didn't walk out until he was startled by a noise outside the door.

When Li Rui followed the sound to the front yard, he saw a group of servants gathered in a circle and could faintly hear people wailing in pain.

Li Rui saw Yang Yong at the outermost edge of the crowd at a glance.

"Old Yang, what happened?"

Yang Yong: "A boy who just entered the mansion stole something and was caught by the master. According to the rules, he should be whipped thirty times."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Rui heard a heart-wrenching cry.

Through the gaps in the crowd, he saw a young man with a naked upper body and bloodstains all over his back, which was a shocking sight.

"You traitor, I took you in out of pity, but you still dare to steal things? I'll beat you to death!"

Then I saw the master of the Zhu family raised the whip and brought it down hard.

With a crisp snap!

The servants who were watching couldn't help but tremble at the same time.

Yang Yong: "This kid's mother was seriously ill, so he sold himself to the Zhu family. He must have wanted to steal and sell the money to pay for his mother's medical treatment. Alas."

He shook his head and said nothing more.

In the end, the young man was carried away unconscious by several guards. It was obvious that he was breathing out more than he was breathing in, and he was dying.

Li Rui is perhaps the calmest one among the crowd.

He had seen too many scenes like this in his decades of experience. Once a person becomes a slave, his life is sold to his master. Even if he is beaten to death by his master, the government will not intervene, and his death will be in vain.

"This cannibalistic world."

At this time, Yang Yong suddenly exclaimed: "Old Li, have you regained your youth? Your body looks much stronger than before."

He looked Li Rui up and down, making a clicking sound.

Originally he thought that Li Rui was just joking when asking him for Ba Duan Jin, but now it seems that the other party might actually be practicing it.

Li Rui took out the Eight Section Brocade technique from his arms: "Just in time to return it to you."

Yang Yong put away his skills, but there was more surprise in his eyes.

"Old Li, do you want to starve me to death?"

Li Rui: "Don't worry, I'm familiar with burying people."

The corner of Yang Yong's mouth twitched. He felt that he might not live longer than Li Rui. Could it be that old man Li was really going to see him to the end?

Go against Tiangang!

Li Rui returned to the room and recalled today's scenes.

Servants are servants after all, and they have no human rights at all.

As his martial arts skills improved, his consumption increased. The stock in the stable barn had long been consumed by him. Although he could secretly hide some every day, this undoubtedly increased the risk of being discovered by the owner.

Although he was the one who watched the master of the Zhu family grow up.

But if he committed a crime, the other party would show no mercy. The previous old groom was beaten to death because one of his horses was sick.

He was the one who buried the bodies. "Looks like I can only buy one outside."

Fortunately, the groom's salary is generous, and there is not much to spend money on in the Zhu family. Li Rui has saved a lot of money over the years, which will be enough to support him for a while.

When I thought about the fact that I had a fortune of thirty taels of silver.

No wonder I heard that some young girls in the city love to cheat old men.

When you get older, you know a lot of things that young people don’t know, such as the black market.

The black market was first established forty years ago.

At that time, he had just buried the old groom and became the new groom of the Zhu family. The black market was still very formal at that time, and many things became informal slowly.

The black market is in a corner of East City and it takes about fifteen minutes to get there.

At the entrance, two strong men in black clothes who looked tough stopped Li Rui expressionlessly and said, "It's a big entrance fee. No fighting after you enter, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

"clear."

Li Rui already knew the process and skillfully took out a large sum of money from his pocket.

Although this place is called a black market, it is actually not as mysterious as the legend says. It is just a special gathering point for stalls. The things sold here are all kinds of things. There may be some treasures, but not many.

The majority of people came from nearby villagers, who exchanged roosters, eggs and other things.

Although the black market collects market fees, they are much lower than the government's tariffs. And the irony is that the order in the black market is even better than that in the government's markets. Even though it is a little more expensive, many people are willing to come.

The truly shameful things cannot be discovered by ordinary people even if they see them. They require specific underworld code words.

Li Rui has been here many times and is familiar with the situation in the black market.

At this moment, he looked very different from usual.

Not only was he wearing a black scarf, but his clothes were also much thicker than usual, and his shoulders were even padded to create a right-angled look. Not only did you not know his age, but just looking at his figure you could tell that he was someone who was not someone to be trifled with.

Although the black market is guarded by people from the Blood Tiger Gang, nothing will happen in the market, but there is no guarantee that others will not target you and take action outside the black market.

It's always better to be cautious.

"Chicken and pork!"

Li Rui glanced at the stall nearest to him. He used to frequent this shop often and buy some meat to improve his meals.

But this time his purpose was not meat, but herbs.

There are many herbalists nearby in the black market, and you can definitely find good stuff there.

Just as he was looking for the herbal medicine stall, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

"Ma Yang?"

Li Rui didn't expect that his apprentice would also come to the black market.

Ma Yang knew about the black market, and he was the one who told him. At that time, the relationship between the master and the apprentice was very good.

Li Rui had no intention of going forward to meet the man, so he quickly found a herbal medicine stall.

"Brother, look at this Morinda officinalis that I picked today. It is good for replenishing yang and strengthening tendons. It will definitely work."

As he said this, he looked as if he understood what I was saying.

No matter what era, men's kidneys and women's faces are the places where people are most willing to spend money.

"I want this, this, and this."

In order to avoid revealing his real age, Li Rui spoke as little as possible and deliberately changed his voice, so the stall owner did not notice anything unusual.

These herbs are from a prescription called Yangqi San.

I got this recipe by secretly looking at it one year when I went to get a prescription for Mr. Zhu, who was practicing martial arts.

He has always kept it in mind and now he finally uses it.

Taking the herbs packaged by the vendor, Li Rui glanced calmly at the thin man who was looking up at the sky not far away.

There is a scar on his face, and you can tell at first glance that he is not someone you want to mess with.

He's been targeted!
