C9 Strong Girl

After interrupting the stall owner's spittle, Zhang Xiaoyu asked, "Boss, where did you get all these martial arts books from?"

The stall owner said warily, "Little brother, you aren't here to steal my business are you!? It's not easy to do business here. With two more companions, there won't be much business in Lou Lan Town. "

Zhang Xiaoyu was stunned and explained, "I was just curious to ask, I don't have any thoughts of selling martial arts books."

Leaning his head over, the stall owner said mysteriously, "Forget it, I don't think you're someone who does this kind of small business. You got these martial arts books from the big cities."

Picked him up? Zhang Xiaoyu shook his head and smiled: "How?"

There are a lot of gangs in the big cities, so naturally, there are a lot of people who study martial arts. Sometimes, when there are too many martial arts books printed, they would be sold out, and if there is a way, they could be bought at a cheaper price. Don't look at the trouble, the profits are still quite a lot. "Previously, the stall owner was extremely vigilant. Now, he really wanted to show off all of his family's wealth, causing Zhang Xiaoyu to helplessly smile bitterly.

"From what I see, your steps are heavy. Your cultivation technique should be of the powerful heavy type and you should be able to purchase a high grade primary martial skill: Swift Sand Steps!" This can increase your speed quite a bit. The stall owner picked up a martial arts book and enthusiastically recommended it.

Zhang Xiaoyu was a little impressed by the stall owner's eyesight. He practiced the Rough-Thunder Force which was a powerful skill. He didn't expect the other party, who was lower than him, to be able to see it. On the contrary, he was a lot faster than an ordinary martial artist. He was also a bit unclear about the situation of his body, since half a month ago he was still weak and could not even hold a chicken, but with a little rest, he felt like he could kill an ox. It was just a feeling, and his current body was still considered skinny.

Zhang Xiaoyu looked at the price tag, it was written with 5 taels of silver. From Xiao Ma's body information, he found out that a beginner high quality cultivation technique was only 5 taels of silver, while martial skills were at most 2 taels of silver. This stall owner was really merciless when killing people.

"Hehe, there's no need for that. I don't think there are many people who would spend five taels of silver to buy a mid-tier beginner martial skill book." Zhang Xiaoyu straightened his body and prepared to leave.

The stall owner said anxiously, "Little brother, I will sell it to you at a lower price. How about 3 taels, 2 taels, I can't lower it any further."

Walking on the busy street side by side with Ah Rina, Zhang Xiaoyu looked at the variety of shops on the side. There were pharmacies, weapon stores, clothing stores, restaurants, and so on.

"Oh right, Ah Rina, do you have any family?"

Ah Rina acknowledged, "There was a mother and a ten-year-old brother. My father was killed by the Dire Beast five years ago."

Another one-parent family. No wonder they had more strength than the other girls.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the entrance of a restaurant near the intersection in the center of Lou Lan Town. It was several levels higher than the restaurant in Yellow Stone Town. People came and went, and it was bustling with noise and excitement.

"It's Ah Rina!" It's some Dire Beast again today. Yo, it's a red mouse. " The restaurant manager ran out and said with slight surprise.

Ah Rina practiced saying, "Uncle Cha, business has been booming for the past few days. The price of the red mice should have risen a lot!"

Cha Bo forced a smile and said, "Little girl, you really know how to calculate. You did increase a little bit, how about this!" "One is equivalent to two taels of silver and thirty coppers."

Ah Rina was clear on the price and knew that the price was very high. She beamed with joy and said, "Two and a half taels. Let's make up a whole number."

"Hur hur, I knew that you would want more points." Cha Bo revealed an expression of anticipation.

"Little Cuisine, bring the two red mice to the kitchen."

Cha Bo called out to the restaurant and took out five pieces of silver from his bag. He handed them over and said, "Each piece weighs one or two, a total of five. Let's measure them and see if they're right."

Ah Rina waved her hand, "No more. Do I not trust Cha Bo?" "Then I'll be going, I still need to buy some vegetables." At this moment, the sky had already darkened and the streets were brightly lit.

"Alright, take care."

After buying some vegetables from the grocery store, Ah Rina said, "I still have quite a bit of desert rat meat at home. It should be enough."

The structure of Lou Lan Town was much grander than Yellowstone Town. The two main roads formed a cross and divided the town into four parts. Countless small paths spread out in all directions like a spider web, leading to every single part of the Town. Ah Rina's home was in a low alley. Zhang Xiaoyu noticed that the residents here were all wearing old clothes. Compared to the bustling outside world, the residents should be poor people.

"Sister Ah Rina is back! Sister Ah Rina is back!" Just as he walked out of the house, the cute sounds of a few children could be heard from inside.

The door to the room opened and a middle-aged woman walked out. Behind the woman were six or seven children of different sizes. The youngest one was still hugging the older one.

Zhang Xiaoyu was stunned and teased, "Ah Rina, don't you only have one brother? Why did so many of them come out? "

Ah Rina looked at the children lovingly. "They were all children whose parents had died long ago. I thought they were pitiful, so I brought them back."

Is this little girl very loving?

"Ah Rina, you're back!" Is this your friend? " The woman looked curiously at Zhang Xiaoyu's unfamiliar face.

Ah Rina nodded. "Mother, it's all thanks to him saving my life. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to come back."

The woman was extremely grateful when she heard this. "Thank you for saving my Ah Rina. Come in quickly!"

"You're welcome, Auntie."

After they entered the house, Ah Rina went to the kitchen to cook, while the woman said some words of thanks. It seemed that Ah Rina was the pillar of this family.

Zhang Xiaoyu took a quick look at the room. It was a bit shabby with two bedrooms, which added up to no more than 20-30 square meters. People living there were indeed a bit crowded.

Ah Rina had raised so many people by herself, but she didn't know how to make it through it. After all, two children out of eight or nine would be considered an adult, so the daily living expenses would be at least one tael of silver and thirty taels a month. If the harvest was good, then that was alright. If the harvest was not good, then he could only reduce his food and clothing.

After dinner, Zhang Xiaoyu said his goodbyes. There was really not enough room inside, he couldn't just let them all stay in one room. He had one room to himself.

After exiting the alley, Zhang Xiaoyu quickly found a small restaurant and stayed there. With about 10 taels of silver on him, he wasn't afraid of lacking money for a short period of time.
