Chapter Two, The First Bucket of Gold
After drinking a glass of white liquor, Luo Tiesheng asked, "I see that you have quite good skills, where are you from, and where are you currently employed?"
Brothers, this fellow is leaving us no way out, hit him!" shouted the man with a high nose, as a group of people rushed over with sticks, full of aggression.
After two busy days, six tents were set up, and the Tang family moved into their 'new residence'
I do not care who you are, payment must be made for the past
Mr. Tang kicked the criminal away, who then lunged forward, grabbing his accomplice and tumbling directly into the store.
"Young man, why don't you stay at my house? I have many rooms there," said Luolin, tilting his head.
On the fifth day, Tang Wen had basically figured out the situation of this world
With only two days left until the return, Tang Wen turned and went to the Baifu Gold Building
It was somewhat troublesome; I was abandoned by my parents at birth and was picked up by my master on the roadside. He is an eccentric person and lives in a cave.
"Why did the police arrest you?" Luo Tiesheng asked in surprise
After coming down the mountain, I encountered a woman crying at the hospital entrance, saying she had no money for surgery
Luo Jun pulled out the cork, and after opening it, he took a sniff, immediately wrinkling his nose, and said, "Is this a good thing, something to invigorate the spirit?"
On the eighth day, both the identity card and the household registration book have been processed
"This is my younger brother, Luo Jun," Luo Tiesheng introduced with a smile
I had no chance to say a word, and before long, all the rice and grains stored by my master were consumed
Passing by a small shop where items were being sold off in a tearful clearance sale for twenty yuan each, I used the remaining tens of thousands of yuan to purchase a bunch of small mirrors, inferior perfumes, lipsticks, and other trinkets
"I tell you, my uncle is the captain of the special forces team," said Roland, proudly tilting his head.
"Rowling, Rowling... are you alright?" a middle-aged man asked as he ran over with a young and beautiful lady, holding a child.
Mr. Tang, let me help you resolve your household registration and identity issues. Please leave your phone number, and I will contact you later said Luo Jun
Ding dong! The landlord system requires a "popularity" repair. Next time you travel through, you need to accumulate thirty points of popularity. Just as I landed, I heard the voice from the system.
"Who are you?" Zhang Kui asked with a vigilant expression
He usually taught me to study and practice martial arts, but not long ago he suddenly died of a myocardial infarction
Is your master still a hermit? What is his name and where does he live? Luo Jun immediately became interested
"Who do you think you are? If you want to cross the bridge, it will cost you fifty copper coins each." A small-eyed man said fiercely, waving a wooden stick in his hand.
"Do you think I am joking with you?" Tang Wen asked coldly, staring at him.
"Dad, sister, this is really fun," Roland said, looking at Tang Wen with an excited expression.
Recently, this bridge was broken, and we repaired it by carrying stones here
"Do not listen to him, he is just a small squad leader," Luo Jun said with a smile
Tang Wen declined, but Luo Jun said that this was not the money to thank him for saving his brother, but rather the prearranged payment for the elixir. Tang Wen could not refuse and had no choice but to accept it
"That would be quite something," Tang Wengong complimented, as a group of people entered the private room, and soon the dishes were served.
Therefore, I had no choice but to descend the mountain in search of work
Nanzhou is the largest area, approximately three to four times the size of Asia
Moreover, an additional fee is required for the carriage and horses, one tael of silver per vehicle, the man with a prominent nose stated
My name is Tang Wen. Tang Wen glanced at the business card he received, and surprisingly, it belonged to the 'General Manager of Jiang Chang Group', which seemed to carry quite a significant reputation.
"Zhang Kui, let us cross the bridge. If they dare to stop us, strike them down," said Tang Wen, raising an eyebrow.
Feeling a shiver run through his body, a sense of suffocation enveloped him, and amidst the azure light, Tang Wen returned to Koh Samui
Thank you, but my phone is broken. Please leave me your number, and I will call you once it is repaired" said Tang Wen
This place is called Water Blue Star, which is divided into five regions and has more than three hundred countries of various sizes
That speed is too fast. "The beautiful young lady, Luo Yu, said with admiration.
Luo Jun immediately consumed a Peiyuan Pill, and soon felt a surge of vital energy and blood. He reached out and grasped the arm of the chair, twisting it, and with a crack, the arm was broken.
However, it will disappear again afterwards
After getting in the car, we meandered to a secluded club, which was a refined room by the creek, with a young man of considerable muscular build standing at the entrance
"My little ancestor, you nearly scared me to death," the young lady complained
"In broad daylight, you actually dare to commit armed robbery. Are you not afraid that I will report you to the authorities?" Tang Wen asked.
Through the observations made over the past few days, Tang Wen discovered that silver in the Great Eastern Kingdom is much cheaper than gold
Two additional Strength Pills, which replenish blood and energy, can increase one's strength after consumption
"What is your honorable surname, young man? I am Luo Tiesheng." After the police left, the middle-aged man took out a business card and handed it over.
The Luo family also provided Tang Wen with a bank card and a credit card, with a credit limit of 200,000 and a deposit of 500,000 in the bank card
"No need, it's just a small effort." Tang Wen firmly declined, pretending to be on the verge of leaving.
"You little rascal, still trying to deceive us? This is a deserted island, where could the owner possibly be?" the monkey-faced man laughed heartily.
Tang Wen saw that there were about twenty individuals blocking the bridge. Additionally, there was a makeshift grass shed built nearby
In modern society, many people advocate for a return to nature, enjoying living in the mountains, for instance, there are quite a number of residents in the Zhongnan Mountains
Yanyling County is only about seventy to eighty miles away from Koh Samui, and a horse-drawn carriage can make a round trip in a day
My uncle is also a very impressive young man said Luolin with a smile
Zhang Xiong, you should go buy a mobile phone and get the card ready, and then bring it over. After Mr. Tang's ID card is processed, we will register it under his name," Luo Tiesheng instructed the steward.
Oh, how impressive?" Tang Wen said with a smile.
I do not have a household registration, nor do I have an identity card. The master saved some money from treating patients in the past
"Exchanging a dou of rice is also acceptable," added a man with a monkey-like face standing nearby
The next day, Tang Wen gathered several of Li Quan's group and instructed everyone to first level a piece of ground for the tent.
The next day, Tang Wen brought silver coins and called upon Li Quan and Zhang Kui to go to Yanling County to exchange for gold
Several women live under one roof, while Li Quan and the other men live under another roof
Just now, there were police checking identification cards, and I almost got caught. Where can one find the freedom of the mountains?" Tang Wen lamented
Purchased rice flour, cured meat, several military-civilian dual-use tents, a single bed, thin quilts, several sharp sabers, and some first aid supplies
"Please wait a moment, young brother," Luo Tiesheng said as he made a phone call. Soon, a Maybach sedan stopped in front of him
Everything is ready, and the time has come
The remaining amount will be charged to the credit card, along with the remaining 200,000 in the bank account, totaling 400,000
In the future, if there is an opportunity to cross back again, exchanging the gold of the State of Chu for silver here and taking it back would be a tremendous profit
After all, these three temporary huts constructed with thatch cannot withstand the strong winds and heavy rain; they leak when it rains, and the roofs are blown away by the strong winds.
One is used as a toilet, one as a kitchen, Tang Wen occupies two, one is a bedroom and one is a storage room
Thus, the three hundred thousand in the bank card was used to purchase 1,500 taels of silver for him
"Little brother, well done, thank you very much." A slightly overweight police officer came over and patted Tang Wen on the shoulder as he spoke
Zhang Xiong is very efficient in handling matters. When the meal was finished, a brand new foldable screen mobile phone was delivered, and it was the latest model from Huawei
"What a coincidence, I almost got scared to death too," said Tang Wen with a frightened expression.
"Little brother, it's almost eleven thirty. I would like to treat you to a meal, and you must give me this favor," Luo Tiesheng said with a sincere expression.
He only told me that his surname is Tang, and did not say anything else, despite my asking many times
Well then, I apologize for the interruption, Tang Wen said after a moment of thought, nodding his head
After bidding farewell to the Luo family, Tang Wen entered an internet café, frantically searching and learning about some knowledge of this world
"What a joke! I am the master of this island, and this bridge was built by my ancestors of the Tang family. When did it become yours?" Tang Wen asked coldly
One or two taels of gold can be exchanged for around fifty taels of silver, while in the State of Chu, one tael of gold can only be exchanged for ten taels of silver, resulting in a price difference of three to four times.
Two days later, Luo Jun called, asking Tang Wen to go to the police station to handle matters related to the identity card and household registration.
"Thanks to you today, I have no way to repay you. Take out your phone, and I will transfer some money to you to buy a few bottles of wine to drink." Luo Tiesheng took out his phone
Thereafter, the flagstones from the ruins of the Tang family's old residence were carried over to pave the ground, and the tent was erected on the flagstones
However, a portion will always remain in the body, and long-term consumption is beneficial for the enhancement of one's abilities, " said Tang Wen.
Good stuff, truly good stuff. I feel like my strength has suddenly increased by fifty or sixty pounds; otherwise, it would have been impossible to break the chair handle. " Luo Jun said with an excited expression
Well, look at what they are holding in their hands: hoes, sickles, and wooden sticks. They don't even have a proper knife. Robbers wouldn't be this miserable, Zhang Kui nodded and said
"If you have anything to say, just tell me. My family, the Luo family, has a bit of a reputation in Yunhai City," Luo Jun inquired
However, I find that living in the city is quite troublesome
I am currently in need of people, which is quite troublesome
Uncle, you didn't see it just now. A criminal suddenly rushed out to take my younger brother hostage, and my younger brother was so scared that he was dumbfounded
I just gave it to her; she has been sleeping under the bridge these past few days, " Tang Wen said
The population of the Great Eastern Republic is 1.5 billion, covering an area of 15 million square kilometers, and its system is similar to that of the Huaxia nation
Stop! However, just as I arrived at the bridgehead on the opposite side of the island, I was halted by someone.
No!" Tang Wen shook his head, glanced at Luo Jun, took out a porcelain bottle and handed it over, saying, "You work in the special operations team, so you should exercise regularly. I happen to have three pills here, which may be useful to you.
Koh Samui is connected to the mainland by three to four miles, where a simple stone bridge has been constructed. The bridge is supported by stone pillars, and the surface is also paved with stone slabs, allowing for the passage of a single horse-drawn carriage
Sigh... Tang Wen deliberately let out a sigh, his face filled with sadness
"Hello, you are amazing, shall we have a meal together?" Luo Lin said with a pair of innocent eyes, running over to tug at Tang Wen's sleeve and pleading.
Tang Wen effortlessly picked up the little boy and performed a somersault into the store, leaving many onlookers dumbfounded by this scene
In the next moment, the man was struck by a car and rolled onto the ground, where he was subdued and handcuffed by the police
"Could it be a robber?" Li Quan began to worry
A washing marrow pill, used to cleanse the marrow and bones, removing impurities from the body
The clothes are tattered, and one by one they appear emaciated, not resembling robbers; they might have come from fleeing a disaster.
There are too many of them, let's retreat. Zhang Kui and Li Quan both turned pale and quickly shielded Tang Wen as they prepared to run back.
This is indeed somewhat troublesome. Luo Tiesheng nodded and glanced at Luo Jun.
"Report to the authorities, haha, this bridge was built by us, and the officials still need to pay us for it." At this moment, a middle-aged man with a prominent nose and a broad face, appearing quite capable, walked out of the thatched shed.
