  Chapter 4 Exploration

   Nothing to say all night.

  …

   "Big sister of the Chen family, I asked me to bring these rice noodles and food king brother to you, you put them away."

   "Thank you, big brother, what's your name?"

   "Don't, don't, don't, don't call me big brother, you are Brother Wang's sister, that's my sister, my surname is Wu, just call me Wu Xing."

  …

  Hearing this conversation, Chen Che put down the dagger in his hand in the bungalow.

   At this time, it was just dawn, but he had already woken up from hunger.

  Just when he heard movement outside, he immediately took out the dagger that his uncle left behind.

   Now it seems that he is overthinking.

  …

   "Sister Chen, that Liu Agou was stabbed by Brother Wang, and now he is huddling in the beggar's nest near the inner city and dare not move.

  Don't worry, someone is staring at him there. If there is any movement from him, I will report it as soon as possible. "

   "Thanks a lot..."

   "There is nothing to thank. Brother Wang is my friend and he is kind to me. I should do these things."

  …

   "Brother Wu Xing... Do you know when my brother will come out?"

   "I don't know about that, but it won't be long. Our Sirius Gang has people in the yamen. Stabbing a beggar is not a big deal."

  …

   "It turned out that Liu Agou was near the beggar's nest in the inner city..."

  In the small bungalow, Chen Che was talking to himself.

  There are several big beggars' dens in Stone Fire City, among which the one near the inner city is the most "high-end" one, and ordinary beggars are not qualified to live there.

   There are two main reasons.

  First, the inner city of Stone Fire City is built directly above the Lieyang Stone Mine, and because of this, the closer it is to the inner city, the lower the probability of evil spirits appearing.

   For beggars who don't have Sunstone, that place is relatively safe.

  Secondly, the beggar's nest is next to the market and the inner city, so it is easier to beg.

   Knowing the exact location of Liu Agou, Chen Che had some confidence.

  …

   Half an hour later.

  The mother and son of the Chen family sat at the table and had breakfast.

  Breakfast is the leftovers from last night, some rice porridge, and some pickles.

  Chen Che unknowingly drank three bowls, and barely ate until he was full.

  Seeing that her son had such a good appetite, Wang Rou took the initiative to bring up the fact that Wu Xing came to the house in the early morning.

   "Che'er, your uncle's friend sent over twenty catties of rice noodles in the early morning, and also three catties of meat. There is no shortage of food at home, so you can eat at ease..."

   "Mom, I was already awake at that time, and I saw everything."

  Chen Che responded after taking a sip of porridge.

  Wang Rou nodded slightly, then sighed softly.

   "Twenty catties of rice noodles, three catties of meat... I guess it will cost a lot of money.

  Whether the money is from your uncle or his friend, we can't take it for nothing.

  I thought that if I go to Linjiabuzhuang to get some needlework later, I can also make some money. "

  Chen Che silently put down the bowl upon hearing this.

  He knew very well that his mother was not the kind of person who could gnaw on his younger brother with peace of mind.

  In this world, a married girl is the water that gets thrown out.

  Even though her father, Chen Zhao, has not come back for nineteen years, in the eyes of her mother, she is the daughter-in-law of the Chen family, and she and her uncle are two different families.

  Since there are two families, they have to settle accounts clearly.

  Thinking of this, Chen Che felt a little sour.

  Nineteen years...

  How many nineteen years are there in life?

  He didn't know how his mother waited for so many years.

  At the same time, he also vaguely understood the obsession of the original owner of the body who wanted to find his father to ask for an explanation for his mother.

  After pretending to think for a moment, he said: "You can stay at home, I will go out later to see where there is a need for a teacher, and then I will go to Linjiabuzhuang to bring back some work."

   Without waiting for Wang Rou to speak, he continued: "The next county examination has to wait for a year, I'm such an adult, I can't just sit and eat at home.

  As for that rogue, someone is watching him, so I try to avoid it as much as possible?

  We can't afford to mess with it, so why can't we hide it? "

  His words blocked all of Wang Rou's words.

  Although Wang Rou was worried, she couldn't refute it.

  …

  After dinner, Chen Che put on a book-length robe and left the house. He took not only the one or two taels of silver he had left with him, but also the dagger left by his uncle.

  After going out, he went straight to the market near the inner city.

  Although he had eaten breakfast, he still felt very hungry.

   It's not hungry, but every cell in the body is hungry.

  He knew that it was the growth of the body that urgently needed nutrients.

  …

   Half an hour later, Chen Che came to the market near the inner city, which was the one next to the beggar's den.

  It was the early market at this time, and there were people coming and going on the street, and various small stalls and vendors were scattered on both sides of the street.

  Chen Che walked to a bun shop.

  In the bun shop, the steamed meat buns that had just come out of the cage exuded bursts of meaty aroma, which made him want to rob them on the spot.

   "Guest officer, do you want meat buns? Fresh meat buns cost twenty Wen each."

  The proprietress of the steamed stuffed bun shop wearing an apron greeted Chen Che with a smile when she saw Chen Che's expression of being reincarnated from starvation.

   "Give me five."

   While talking, Chen Che took out a small piece of broken silver and handed it over.

"okay!"

  The proprietress took the broken silver and bit it, and after confirming that it was real, she wrapped five meat buns in lotus leaves and handed them to Chen Che.

  Chen Che took the bun and left. After walking more than ten meters, he couldn't wait to take out a meat bun and ate it hard.

"Well…"

  The smell of meat mixed with the aroma of rice noodles entered into the abdomen with scalding heat. Chen Che felt that every cell in his body cheered, accompanied by an unprecedented sense of power!

   "Ahem!"

  However, after a few light coughs, he returned to his hungry state.

  So, he continued to eat buns.

  After the buns were finished, he bought meat pies.

  After the stuffed pies were finished, he bought meat dumplings again.

  Under the dual effects of the high pressure state and the breathing method, he felt that his stomach had directly turned into a fiery furnace, and any food that entered it would immediately melt and disappear.

  …

   In half an hour, Chen Che wandered from one side of the market to the other, and he spent all the one or two taels of silver he brought.

  In the past, the Chen family only spent so much money in a month.

   And he spent it all this morning.

   Of course, the silver is not in vain.

  Compared to before coming here, not only did he feel much stronger, but his body also felt much lighter.

   "Although the breathing method has not yet achieved great success, I should be better than ordinary people now."

  Chen Che clenched his fist, secretly calculating in his heart.

   I have to say, this Yuan Devouring Bottle is really powerful.

  If there is enough meat to eat and the high-pressure state can be activated without limit, he feels that it only takes one day to make the breathing method complete.

  …

  The excellent physical condition gave Chen Che full confidence.

  After brewing a good mood, he took the last meatloaf and walked towards the beggar's den seemingly unintentionally.

  The main purpose of his coming here today is to confirm Liu Agou's condition.

   At this time, it is still early gathering time, which is a good time for begging, so there are very few people in the beggar's den.

   Among them, there is a group of beggars gathered together, which is particularly conspicuous at a glance.

  Chen Che narrowed his eyes.

  Among the group of beggars, there was a young man with a bare upper body covered with scars and a bandage on his abdomen, leaning against the corner of the inner city wall, gnawing his head on a roast chicken.

   There is a large jar of wine beside him, looking very comfortable.

  Several beggars in ragged clothes surrounded him, and their halazi dripped all over the floor.

   "This bastard! Eats better than me!"

  Chen Che cursed inwardly.

   At the same time, the man seemed to have a feeling in his heart, and suddenly put down the roast chicken in his hand, raised his head and looked in Chen Che's direction.

  In an instant, the eyes of the two met.
