Chapter 18: Beating a Dog in the Water

The harvest from this boat trip was so great; not only did he harvest a treasure fish, but the Refined Ze Ling fusion level also broke through 10, reaching 11.7.

The Jianghuai marshlands are truly a blessed land; one needs to explore more.

The water area near Shangrao Pier has only been explored less than half; one must find opportunities to explore more of the map. Besides treasure fish, treasure plants are also excellent.

And Liang Qu also discovered that as he became more powerful, his spirit also improved.

Perhaps in a short while, he will be able to control another water beast.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the role of Cannot-Move is becoming smaller and smaller; one must find a water beast to replace it. By then, it will be helpful for both catching fish and exploring deeper water areas.

By noon, Ah Fei had caught about thirty fish, and only then did Liang Qu row the boat back to the pier, pretending that he had been catching fish all night.

It was still sold to the fish stall, and the person receiving it was still Lin Songbao, the second son of the fish stall manager Lin Di.

Lin Songbao helped move the fish and asked, "Ah Shui, why didn't you come to sell fish a few days ago? Did you go to town too? If you ask me, you are so good at fishing, why bother walking those ten-plus miles? Dozens of fish, how tiring it is to carry them."

Liang Qu smiled, "I did go to town, but not to sell fish. I went to learn martial arts."

"Learn martial arts?"

Lin Songbao, who was weighing the fish, was taken aback. He looked Liang Qu up and down, his tone full of regret, "Hey, did you take all the money from selling the treasure fish last time to learn martial arts?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"You, you are confused!" Lin Songbao said, hating that iron wouldn't become steel, "Ah Shui, you are still too young; you don't know how deep the water is in practicing martial arts."

"Yes, the threshold to practice martial arts is only six or seven taels, but without dozens of taels of silver to buy medicinal materials, you can't learn anything at all."

"Those three martial arts halls in Pingyang Town, I don't know how many farmers and fishermen who have saved money for more than ten years go in every year, but they go in, and then what?"

"After three months, don't they come back dejectedly? In the end, they are still farmers and fishermen for a lifetime. Some even have insufficient blood-qi and practice themselves into cripples or death!"

"Keep those seven taels of silver, and with your fishing skills, you can definitely marry a good wife. Hey, it's really..."

It can be seen that Lin Songbao really feels regret, thinking that taking money to learn martial arts is a waste.

But Liang Qu just smiled and didn't say much. He counted the copper coins after the transaction, confirmed there was no problem, and walked home.

He doesn't plan to go to the martial arts hall for the next two days. After eating a treasure fish, his changes are a bit big, and he is worried about being seen.

His Tiger Fist and Crane Fist haven't been learned yet, but the Ape Fist has been learned, and it's the same practicing at home.

"Why hasn't that kid come back yet?"

Three young men squatted at the door, some chewing grass stems, some lying on the wall, looking very impatient.

"Should we go in and look again? I think he definitely hid the money at home. With so much silver, who would carry it around all day?"

"Didn't we turn everything over? Damn it, there's nothing, just a few jin of brown rice, even the mattress is rotten. Doesn't he spend the money from selling treasure fish?"

"Do you think he took the money to learn martial arts? Six taels five is about enough."

"A mud-legged person wants to rely on practicing martial arts to get ahead?"

"Some people are just stupid, can't see through it, maybe... eh eh, Second Brother, look, that kid over there, is it him?"

The man called Second Brother squinted his eyes and saw the figure in the distance. He was not sure, only feeling that the temperament of the comer was different from what he had seen before, but the outline was indeed very similar.

"It should be him. Let's hide first, don't scare that little bastard so he doesn't dare to come over."

In the distance, Liang Qu frowned slightly. Since refining the Refined Ze Ling, he had sharp ears and eyes. He had long seen the three young men at his door and saw them hiding sneakily after seeing him, for fear that others wouldn't know they were plotting something.

Liang Qu knew the three of them; the famous Wang brothers of Yixing Market. They were not fishermen but farmers, with more than ten acres of land on the back mountain. They were in the same line as Scabby Zhang, but not as wild as Scabby Zhang, daring to force people to death.

Because they were three brothers, the men in the family were prosperous, and they often bullied others. Whenever it was time to irrigate the fields, the three brothers would carry hoes and squat at the river mouth. Their family had to be the first to water, and those who wanted to grab it would definitely end up with broken heads and bleeding.

Liang Qu didn't farm, but he had heard of it.

The three brothers had such a bad reputation, and coming to his door to block it, what they wanted was self-evident. It was nothing more than seeing that he had sold treasure fish a few days ago and had a lot of money, so they had crooked thoughts.

However, Liang Qu didn't avoid it. Things are different now. In the past, he had to be careful and calculate in various ways to deal with a Scabby Zhang, but now the Water Monkey fusion level is over 10 points. Although not underwater, his strength has increased. Plus, he has practiced martial arts and has the nourishment of two treasure fish and treasure lotus roots, so he is completely strong and healthy.

Even if he hasn't learned the fighting methods in the three fist techniques, he is not without the ability to resist.

In the alley, the Wang brothers waited quietly, but after waiting for a long time, there was no sound of opening the door, and they began to discuss in a low voice.

"What's the situation? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

"Did that little bastard limp his leg, walking so slowly?"

"Because I was looking for a handy tool."

"Who?"

The voice came from overhead, startling them. Wang Eldest looked up and saw a blue brick flying over.

Liang Qu jumped down from the roof, holding the blue brick, and smashed it onto Wang Eldest's face.

This blow was powerful, nosebleed mixed with broken teeth splashed out, and the blue brick split into two on the spot.

"And you!"

Liang Qu attacked left and right, slapping with his left hand and then his right. He smashed a brick onto the stunned Wang Second, hitting his forehead and opening his scalp on the spot.

Wang Third on the side was stunned. Seeing that both his big brothers had fallen to the ground, he was fierce in appearance but weak in reality: "Liang... Liang Qu, why did you hit my big brother and second brother?"

"You cheap seed who deserves a beating! I'll hit whoever I want!"

Liang Qu held half a broken brick in each hand and hit Wang Third.

Fighting is all about momentum!

Liang Qu's momentum was compelling. How dared Wang Third resist? He crawled out of the alley on all fours.

Seeing this, Liang Qu threw a broken brick, hitting Wang Third in the waist and abdomen.

Wang Third's shoulders softened, and he almost hit the ground with his head. He endured the pain in his waist and continued to crawl away from the alley.

Liang Qu didn't have the energy to chase, so he turned back into the alley and punched and kicked the two people on the ground.

"Things born without parents to teach, not even as good as pigs and dogs!"

Wang Eldest tried to resist, but was violently pressed back by Liang Qu with one hand. He didn't know why Liang Qu could have such great strength. His head hit the wall, and he almost vomited blood.

Kicking Wang Second, who was trying to escape, back, Liang Qu grabbed Wang Eldest's head with his left hand and slapped his face back and forth with his right hand.

The two could only wail, covered in blood, and their crotches were wet, which made Liang Qu feel nauseous, and there was no place to continue kicking.

"Get out, all get out!"

Wang Eldest and Wang Second groaned. Hearing this, they felt like they had been granted amnesty, crawled out of the alley, leaned against the wall, helped each other, and left in a sorry state.

Liang Qu's face was cold. If it weren't for the fact that it's not easy to deal with corpses if he killed people here, and it's easy to attract the government, he would have wanted to be ruthless.

A few dog things, living only wastes food.

At this time, many people stood outside the alley, all attracted by the sound of fighting. However, the Wang brothers had a bad reputation, and the crowd was not afraid, but cheered instead.

"Ah Shui, you are only sixteen, right? How did your skills get so good?"

"Not only that, I remember it's fifteen, sixteen after the New Year, right? It's really amazing."

"Yes, I saw that the two brothers' pants were wet, hahahaha!"

Liang Qu calmed his breath, restrained his expression, and said: "Let everyone know, I am powerful because I went to learn martial arts. Master Hu at the martial arts hall said that my bones are amazing, and I am a martial arts genius rarely seen in a hundred years! Dealing with a few rascals is naturally not a problem!"

As soon as this was said, everyone's expressions were different.
