"Hao Fei, how are you? Are you okay?" After returning to the yard, Yuan Linshan looked at the girl sitting in the hall with a sullen look and said with a smile.

"Humph, a hooligan! If it weren't for suppressing his strength, I would have beaten him into a pig head!" The girl was instantly ignited with anger, and she curled her lips and said disdainfully.

If Xia Ming was here, he would definitely be shocked. Yuan Hao, who had just fought with him, turned into a beautiful girl, wearing a cloud-patterned carved horn hairpin, a green embroidered skirt, and silk shoes with blooming flowers on her feet, or Qitou shoes.

"Haha, you insisted on participating. This is the level of the town. The strength of the third-level peak is already down, and I still allow you to use the "Thousand Leaf Hand". Besides, you didn't lose at that time, and that kid was also at the end of his strength!" Yuan Linshan laughed and shook his head, teasing.

"Uncle Yuan——!" The girl's voice was full of resentment, her eyebrows wrinkled into the shape of the word "chuan".

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble, I'll unseal you!" Smiling and shaking his head, Yuan Linshan flicked his finger and a wave of energy shot out.

"Bang!"

Ripples exploded at the tip of the girl's index finger, and the wave of fighting spirit was shaken and scattered.

"Hey, you broke through?!" Yuan Linshan was surprised and speechless with his eyes wide open.

With a proud look in his eyes, "Hao Fei" smiled and stuck out his tongue: "I just broke through when I was angry, and broke your seal by the way! Hehe!"

"Haha, good, good, great, a fifteen-year-old fighting master, Master Ling has a successor!" Laughing heartily, Yuan Linshan stroked his beard and said.

Rolling his eyes, Ling Haofei suddenly thought of something and asked curiously, "Uncle Yuan, what's the origin of that kid named Xia Ming? It seems that he has no fighting spirit?"

"Hehe, he is the descendant of a retired material officer in Langshan Village. He has just come of age. His meridians have been blocked since childhood, so he can't cultivate fighting spirit. But he is gifted and hardworking, so he has reached the combat power of a third-level fighter!" Yuan Linshan knew what the other party was going to ask, and before coming back, he specifically asked about Xia Ming's situation.

"It's a pity, this kid has a strong comprehension ability. I have seen many people who use the Falling Stone Fist, but none of them can understand it as thoroughly as he does. If I were not proficient in this fist, I might not be able to stop it today!" With a sigh, Ling Haofei's anger dissipated, revealing a look of regret.

"Yes, at most he can reach the level of a sixth-level fighter, what a pity..." Yuan Linshan nodded and sighed in the same way.

"Let's not talk about this. How did the talk go? Did they agree?" Ling Haofei said anxiously, quickly leaving Xia Ming's matter aside.

"It's done, but these village chiefs are all old hands. In the end, they exempted taxes and guards for three years before they agreed!" Yuan Linshan had expected this, but he was still helpless.

"It's okay. In this way, we can mobilize the remaining villages, and the speed will be faster. Isn't it just a loss of a thousand gold coins? It's not a big deal!" Ling Haofei smiled happily, with dimples on her face.

"It's not a big deal? You don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. There are so many things in the town, all supported by this little tax, and part of it has to be handed over to the county. You let this old man starve!" Yuan Linshan shook his head with a wry smile.

To be honest, Ling Haofei has never worried about money, and he really didn't know that this little money was so important to the town. He frowned and thought.

Without knowing the conversation between "Yuan Hao" and Yuan Linshan, Xia Ming and the other two had just eaten their fill and were walking towards the watchman's room arranged by the town. The assignment was made in the afternoon, and Xia Ming became a subordinate of the patrol, temporarily helping Li Erhu, and then taking up his post independently after a month. Li Changgui was asked by the three elders to be responsible for the liaison of several villages, of course, just as a follower, after all, his strength was still too low.

This made Li Changgui very worried. With his body shape, following a few village guards, running on the mountain road every day, it would be strange if he didn't die of exhaustion.

"Tiedan, this is a good thing. It's just to help you lose weight. Don't be so sad, be happy!" Li Tieshan slapped his nephew, and felt that this arrangement was good from the bottom of his heart.

"Che, uncle, Erwa's arrangement is so good, he has a military uniform to wear, and a collar, and he's not tired!" Li Changgui curled his lips, with a face full of resentment, not knowing what the three elders saw in him.

In fact, he really wronged him. The three elders didn't know who Li Changgui was. They just saw that he had been a night watchman for two years and they were too lazy to change people frequently, so they chose him. If they knew he was so fat, they might really look down on him.

"Haha, Xiang'er is ours. I'll treat you to a good meal when the time comes!" Xia Ming said with a smile, holding Li Changgui's shoulders with great effort.

"It's a brother! The wounded heart finally shows some signs of healing!" Li Changgui said with a "deep" face, stroking his chest.

Slapping his nephew's head hard, Li Tieshan cursed: "Get lost, you kid, don't be ungrateful! Do you really think Xiang'er is so easy to lead? Among all the night watchmen, why did you only give Xiang'er here? People will die here!"

"Ah?!" Xia Ming and Li Changgui said in unison, their eyes widened at the same time.

"What do patrol officers do? Patrol and arrest, dealing with bandits every day! Who wouldn't be desperate to do this business in our remote countryside?!" Li Tieshan's voice rose several degrees, and his attitude became serious.

"Uncle, why are you so happy that Erhu is a talent officer?" Li Changgui still didn't believe it and asked back.

"To gain, you have to pay. In addition to giving Xiang'er, patrol officers can also learn fighting skills. If you make enough contributions, you can learn powerful fighting skills, or even better skills!" When he said this, Li Tieshan's eyes showed a yearning look.

"Better skills?" Xia Ming was stunned. He had never paid attention to this before.

"It's just talk. How can there be a real good skill in this small town? They are just slightly stronger basic skills!" Li Tieshan grinned, and his smile was a little helpless.

Nodding, Xia Ming knew in his heart that it was the same as the situation in the human world.

"But there are definitely fighting skills. You saw how powerful the "Thousand Leaf Hand" is today. If you can make a great contribution, you may be able to learn it!" Li Tieshan said seriously, turning his head and becoming serious.

Nodding heavily, Xia Ming also realized that he had underestimated this world before. In order to survive better and practice more smoothly, he must re-understand everything here, including fighting skills, skills, professions, etc.

The town is only more than a mile in radius. The three of them quickly came to the class room, received their accommodation items and keys, and arrived at the dormitory happily. They found that it was just a large bunk bed. The seats by the window were all occupied. The two brothers had to come to the depths of the room, which was a bit damp.

"Don't worry, Brother Zhang and Brother Wang will leave in two days. I have told them that the position will be left for you. It's just a matter of ten days or half a month!" Li Erhu rested today and slept for most of the day. He just came back from dinner and met the three people. He took them to get to know the other material officers in the room.

They all came from the village and were straightforward. They became familiar with each other after a few words. Xia Ming and his friend had more than twenty "brothers" at once.

Li Tieshan said he was going to Yuan Datou's place. He left in a hurry after bringing less than a cup of tea in the dormitory. It was probably because of his drunkenness.

Li Changgui slept soundly wherever he went. Soon, he could already hear his snoring.

Xia Ming walked around the yard and picked a few places to practice. It happened that the stars were bright at this moment, so he jumped directly onto the roof and started.

Maybe he was beaten hard in the battle. Today's practice effect was actually good. The fourth acupoint was actually loosened a little. I believe that in less than a month, there should be a breakthrough. Xia Ming's eyes were full of surprise. He secretly wondered whether he should find someone to beat him a few more times! He smiled self-deprecatingly, threw this unrealistic idea behind his mind, turned over and came down from the roof. When he landed, he deliberately chose a meadow and the sound was inaudible.

"Oh, I almost forgot something important!" Just as he was about to wash up, Xia Ming slapped his forehead, remembered what happened last night, and hurriedly pulled Li Erhu out and came to the classroom.

He still had to go to the village with the team tomorrow. Although he was not very sleepy, Li Erhu still wanted to go to bed early. He was dragged up by Xia Ming, a little reluctant, and complained a little: "Erwa, what's the hurry?"

"Brother Erhu, this matter is related to Xie Lin. He seems to have some conspiracy. He tipped off a woman and got hundreds of silver coins!" Time was tight, Xia Ming wanted to be concise, but there were always some words that didn't express his meaning. Li Erhu scratched his head when he heard it. Fortunately, the last few hundred silver coins made him energetic.

"What happened specifically, tell me in detail!" Li Erhu was no longer sleepy, and he turned on the light a little.

"Time is tight, I will paint while talking!" Picking up a piece of tabernacle, Xia Ming talked while painting. With his powerful soul in the Spiritualization Stage, he copied the things on the paper exactly, without even a single mistake in the position of the symbols.

"It's paper, what a luxury!" After listening to Xia Ming's story, Li Erhu said angrily, then looked at the drawings, and then his eyes stopped moving, his face became more and more solemn, and gloomy as if water was about to drip out.

"What's going on?" Xia Ming is now considered a subordinate of You Jiao. Seeing Li Erhu's solemn expression, he was also uneasy: Don't run into something big as soon as you get to work, you're not ready yet!

"No, this matter is too important, I must report to You Jiao in person, by the way, you also go with me, you can explain this matter clearly!" Li Erhu was afraid that You Jiao would ask questions and he couldn't answer them, so he asked Xia Ming to go with him.

"Is it appropriate for me to go?" Not wanting to be too high-profile in front of others, Xia Ming hesitated.

"I have to go. This is a very big matter. If adults ask about it, I'm afraid there will be things I can't explain!" Grabbing Xia Ming's clothes, Li Erhu dragged him away without saying anything. It was already the end of the night, and there was still more than an hour until the third quarter of an hour. Time was too tight!
