Starting with fishing, I've traversed a chaotic world of demons and martial arts.

Li Tianxing walked out of Boguzhai and headed home.

It was already dark, and there were few pedestrians on the street.

After all, this isn't my previous life; there's no vibrant nightlife here.

Nighttime often symbolizes danger.

Li Tianxing carried a pound of pork, which cost him eighty copper coins.

He has now weathered the most difficult time, with the money he got from selling his calligraphy set and the money he earns from fishing every day.

Li Tianxing's life also gradually became more "luxurious".

His steps were steady, unlike before when they were unsteady, all thanks to the upgrade in his fishing skills!

Soon, Li Tianxing arrived at the makeshift shantytown called "Rolling Dragon," where his home was located.

Just then, three figures appeared in Li Tianxing's line of sight.

They walked towards them from the opposite direction, and Li Tianxing recognized the one in the lead.

His name is Wu Da, a well-known Red Stick in the Black Dragon Gang, and Wu Xu's younger brother.

Wu Da usually freeloads in the Gun Di Long area by using his older brother's name.

In addition, he had some ruthless skills from his previous training, so he could be considered a figure in this area.

Wu Da had obviously seen Li Tianxing as well. He stopped, crossed his arms, glanced at the pork Li Tianxing was carrying, and said in a teasing tone:

"Hey, isn't this Tianxing? How come... I heard you went fishing recently, and it really made you feel better?"

"Could it be that some rich lady in the county has taken a liking to you and is letting you eat some meat to replenish your energy, afraid that your little body can't stand up straight?"

After Wu Da finished speaking, his two henchmen burst into laughter.

Li Tianxing subtly tightened his grip on the meat, but his tone remained calm:

"If you want to eat meat, you can take it."

Wu Da walked up to Li Tianxing. He was half a head taller and more robust than Li Tianxing.

"We're going out for drinks later, so you should keep the meat for yourself. And what about what I told you a week ago? What have you thought about?"

Li Tianxing frowned slightly. A week ago, he hadn't even transmigrated yet.

Seeing Li Tianxing's puzzled look, Wu Da said again:

"Are you playing dumb with me, kid?"

Li Tianxing thought about it carefully and then remembered some details.

That day, Xiao Yuan went out to work, and Wu Da happened to be looking for a few decent-looking women for his brother.

Feeling hopeless about his life, and with Wu Da approaching him, he came up with the idea of ​​selling Xiao Yuan for money...

This former primordial saint actually caused me trouble...

Thinking of this, Li Tianxing cursed silently in his heart.

Li Tianxing could only force a smile and say:

"Brother Da, I'm sorry, I can earn money with my own hands now, so I can't sell them."

Wu Da grinned: "Tianxing, you think you're all that after fishing for a few days? Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

"Alright, alright, you'll regret this. We'll have a proper talk once things calm down these next few days."

Wu Da patted Li Tianxing on the neck, then, with a gloomy face, strode away...

Li Tianxing watched the other person's departing figure, took a deep breath, and then walked home.

In his memory, Wu Da was not an easy person to talk to.

The reason he let himself off the hook today is most likely because it's almost the end of the year and he's going to hold a "worshiping the river god" event.

During this period, it was considered very unlucky for someone to die, and the Song family took this very seriously!

……

Li Tianxing pushed open the door, and the lively Xiao Yuan immediately stepped forward and considerately took the meat from his hands.

Xiao Yuan looked at Li Tianxing with admiration:

"Young master, why did you buy meat again today? Didn't we just eat meat yesterday?"

"Now that we're not short of money, we can eat better whenever we can. If we have the means, we should never deprive ourselves."

"Yes, young master, please wait a moment. Let me heat up the food first. I earned thirty coins today too!"

"By the way, Xiaoyuan, you shouldn't go out to work anymore. Just stay at home and tidy up the house."

Li Tianxing sat in the chair, glanced at his small home of less than 30 square meters, and pondered when he could move to the East Market.

Shops like Yuxing and Boguzhai are mostly located in the East Market, which is considered the main residential area for the middle class in Anlan County.

West Market is an affluent area, home to places like the Song Family Compound, the Chen Family Compound, and the Hongyun Martial Arts School.

……

The steaming hot food was served on the table by Xiao Yuan.

There is braised pork, steamed fish, and wild vegetables.

There was even a bowl of steaming white rice!

Yes, Li Tianxing also bought some white rice and kept it at home.

"Let's eat! If we can't even eat properly, what's the point of practicing martial arts!"

Li Tianxing picked up his chopsticks and immediately started showing off.

Xiao Yuan stood beside Li Tianxing, her eyes slightly red:

"Young Master, why won't you let me go out to work? Don't you want me anymore...?"

Li Tianxing was slightly taken aback, put down his chopsticks, and said seriously:

"Xiao Yuan, remember this... These things belong to me, Li Tianxing, and no one can take them away."

We're keeping you at home so you don't have to go out and show your face in public, understand?

Xiao Yuan wiped her eyes:

"Really...really, young master, you're doing this to protect me? I overheard someone on the street today saying you were going to sell me to Wu Da."

Li Tianxing stood up and patted Xiao Yuan's head:

"Don't listen to their nonsense. If I sell you, who's going to cook for me?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan stopped crying and started laughing.

"Exactly, the young master probably won't be used to other people's cooking!"

Li Tianxing sat down and continued eating: "Starting tomorrow, you just stay at home obediently and wait for me to come back."

This period has been the most peaceful time in Anlan County. If there's any trouble, I'll handle it, understand?

The little mandarin ducks nodded like chicks munching on rice.

"Yes, yes, I'll do whatever you say, young master."

Li Tianxing quickly finished his meal and then went to the cabinet where he used to store his writing implements...

He crouched down, grabbed the bottom of the cabinet, and lifted it up with all his might, revealing that the inside of the cabinet was now empty.

Li Tianxing reached out and grabbed the black box under the cabinet.

He pulled the box in front of him and gently wiped the dust-covered black box with a rag.

"If my memory serves me right, what I'm looking for should be in here..."

Li Tianxing placed the cleaned black box on his bed.

"Click—"

The lock on the box was opened.

A small, exquisite Brand pistol appeared in front of him.

It is entirely black, with a prancing horse emblem engraved on the handle.

Next to the Martin rifle were forty bullets.

Its magazine capacity is eight rounds, enough for Li Tianxing to empty the magazine five times!

Li Tianxing picked up the horse brand paddle and examined it carefully in his hand.

He then calmly loaded eight bullets into the magazine.

Based on his predecessor's memories of shooting, he assumed a two-handed gun-holding posture.

Having grasped the basics of the truth, Li Tianxing felt both the coldness and the sense of security emanating from his hands.

"What a fine gun! This is all I have left. Wu Da and I have a grudge against each other."

He definitely won't let me off easily, so I have no choice but to... strike first!
