Chương 9: Chapter 9
After hearing Tian Xianzhi's words, Shen Lang smiled, "Thirteenth Brother, do you want to sleep in the same bed with me?"
Tian Xianzhi said, "There are two more days. If you don't have a thousand gold coins, I will kill your entire family."
Then, he walked out.
Shen Lang laid comfortably on his bed. His house was very run-down, and some parts of the roof had already leaked. So, his parents and younger brother shared a room, and Shen Lang had his own room.
Not only that, his bed was very big and soft, and even the thin quilt was new.
His family was very poor, but they gave him the best of everything.
People in the countryside were poor, and many children didn't even have new clothes for the New Year. Shen Lang's family was even poorer, but he had three sets of new clothes a year. No matter how poor his family was, his parents would buy them for him.
One set in summer, one set in autumn, and one set during the New Year.
As for his younger brother, Shen Jian, he had never had new clothes. He always wore Shen Lang's old clothes.
He really didn't know why it was like this. Why did his parents favor him so much? It didn't even make sense.
His younger brother, Shen Jian, was a good-for-nothing, fooling around outside every day. However, compared to the previous Shen Lang, he was much better. Other than being handsome, Shen Lang had no good points. If it wasn't for Shen Lang transmigrating from Earth, this imbecile wouldn't even be able to manage his own life, let alone provide for his parents. He would need to be taken care of by his parents until they were old, and then his younger brother would take care of him.
"Useless Shen Lang, I will repay what you owe my parents and brother. I will use the rest of my life to repay them."
Shen Lang swore in his heart that he would definitely let his parents live a good life. He would definitely let his younger brother get married and have a family.
And the most important thing now was to get through this crisis!
Tian Heng gave him three days to gather a thousand gold coins, and now there were only two days left.
When the time was up, if Shen Lang couldn't come up with a thousand gold coins, what would happen?
Tian Heng would kill his entire family. He had always done it, and he would do it.
Was it possible to earn a thousand gold coins in two days?
…
The next morning, after Shen Lang woke up, he brewed medicine for his father and brother, washed up, and ate breakfast.
"Bang, bang, bang …"
There was a knock on the door. His mother looked uneasy and was about to open the door.
"I'll drive it," Shen Lang said.
After opening the door, as expected, it was Tian Heng's 13th and 14th godson.
"Time is of the essence. Let's go earn some money," Tian Xianzhi said directly. His tone was still as calm as before.
"Dalang, what's wrong?" Mother asked.
"Mom, it's okay. It's just two of my friends," said Shen Lang.
His mother said enthusiastically, "So it's Dalang's friend. Come and have some porridge with us."
Tian Xianzhi smiled and said, "No need. We've already eaten. Thank you, Auntie."
His smile was also very warm. One could not tell that he was an assassin at all. He looked completely like a good guy.
Shen Lang calmly finished the porridge in his bowl, but his mother stuffed an egg into his mouth and said, "Hurry up and eat it."
He instinctively wanted to give the egg to his father.
"Yes, immediately." Mother said resolutely. Then, she peeled an egg and gave half to her father and brother.
"Okay, I'll eat it," said Shen Lang.
Seeing him finish eating, his mother beamed with joy.
"Mom, I'm going to the city with my friends. Today, a very powerful teacher came to the school," said Shen Lang.
Mother suddenly became nervous and said, "Dalang, are you going home for lunch?"
Shen Lang said, "I definitely won't be able to make it back in time for lunch. I'll try to go home for dinner."
Tian Xianzhi said enthusiastically, "Auntie, my house is in town. I won't let Shen Lang go hungry."
Mother said, "Then I'll have to trouble you. In the future, when you come home, I'll cook eggs for you."
"Okay." The smile on Tian Xianzhi's face became more honest.
Then, Shen Lang left home to earn money. Tian Xianzhi and Tian Shisi followed closely behind.
A thousand gold coins was an astronomical figure for his family.
…
Four hours later, Shen Lang walked for more than 30 miles. He was almost at Xuanwu City.
At this time, there were two men on the road in front of him. They were angrily walking while cursing. They should be a father and son. The father was in his forties and the son was in his twenties.
Tian Xianzhi stepped forward and said enthusiastically, "Uncle Li, Brother Dalu, long time no see!"
The father and son stopped. When they saw Tian Xianzhi, they looked a little embarrassed. But they quickly put on a smile and said, "Oh, it's Shisan. I haven't seen you for a while."
Tian Xianzhi said enthusiastically, "Uncle, why don't you come home? My father misses you. Yesterday, he was talking about you not coming home to drink tea. Although you owe our family some money, please don't be distant. You and my father are not brothers, but more like brothers. "
The middle-aged man said, "I'll go tomorrow. I'll go tomorrow."
Tian Xianzhi stepped forward and hugged the father and son. They walked into the depths of the paddy field and then into the forest.
"Uncle, you haven't come to my house for a meal for a while. My father specially made the wine go bad. He told me to send a piece of meat to your house. I didn't expect to meet you today!"
After Tian Xianzhi hugged the father and son into the forest, his tone became even more intimate, as if he was a real uncle and nephew.
"By the way, Uncle," Tian Xianzhi said to the middle-aged man, "My father said that you don't have to return the money you owe us."
The middle-aged man said, "That's so embarrassing, so embarrassing …"
Tian Xianzhi said, "You and my father have been friends for more than ten years. We are like brothers. What's this bit of money? When I was young, I would go to your house to eat every other day. "
The middle-aged man said, "Then, then I'll chop off a pig's head tomorrow and go see your father. We'll drink together."
"Okay …" Tian Xianzhi said.
Then, he quickly pulled out the sharp knife.
"Slash …"
Like lightning, the knife pierced the father and son's hearts. It was so fast that Shen Lang could barely see it.
There were no screams or wails. The father and son died immediately. It took a while before blood spurted out from their wounds.
"Shi Si, go and get the brothers to come and deal with these two bodies," Tian Xianzhi said.
Tian Shi Si said, "Yes, brother!"
Tian Xianzhi wiped the sharp knife with a silk handkerchief and carefully put it in his arms. He carefully looked at his body and sleeves to make sure there were no bloodstains. Then, he said to Shen Lang, "I'm sorry. I saw two acquaintances and delayed some time. Let's continue our journey."
"Okay," Shen Lang said.
From the beginning to the end, the expression on Tian Xianzhi's face did not change. He always had a smile on his face, including when he was killing people.
The two of them continued their journey and walked in the direction of Xuanwu City.
Shen Lang suddenly asked, "Tian Xianzhi, that middle-aged man just now is your uncle?"
Tian Xianzhi nodded and said, "Yes, he fled here with my father. We have been friends for more than ten years. He often hugged me when I was a child."
Shen Lang asked, "How much money does he owe?"
"Three gold coins. Because they are acquaintances, the interest is lower. After interest, it's 25 gold coins." Tian Xianzhi said, "He can't pay it back. Yesterday, the father and son went to the gambling house and still owed a gambling debt of a few gold coins."
Because of 25 gold coins, Tian Xianzhi did not hesitate to kill the father and son. Moreover, they were father and son who had been friends for more than ten years.
And Shen Lang owed a total of 1,000 gold coins.
Tian Xianzhi said, "Shen Lang, I know you are just stalling for time. If you want to earn 1,000 gold coins in the next two days, it is completely a pipe dream. So tell me now that you can't do it, I will give you a quick death. Don't waste my two days, how about it? "
Then, he took out a sharp knife and wiped it over and over again. As long as Shen Lang nodded, he would immediately kill him as fast as possible.
1,000 gold coins could be the savings of hundreds of families for decades. It was a huge sum of money. It was really impossible for a poor boy like Shen Lang to earn 1,000 gold coins in two days.
Shen Lang looked at Tian Xianzhi and said seriously, "I don't need two days, I can do it today!"
Tian Xianzhi was surprised, "Really?"
Shen Lang said, "In six hours, I will earn this 1,000 gold coins."
Tian Xianzhi's eyes widened and he said in surprise, "Six hours?"
This was completely unbelievable.
Shen Lang said, "Yes, within six hours."
…
Shen Lang and Tian Xianzhi entered Xuanwu City.
Xuanwu City was one of the eight cities in Nujiang Prefecture. It had 25 towns under its jurisdiction and a total population of more than 250,000. Just within the city itself, there were more than 30,000 people.
Shen Lang noticed that the city walls of Xuanwu were more than 12 meters high and nearly 10 miles in circumference.
In ancient China, many of the main cities of the provinces didn't have 12 meters high walls. This could only prove one thing. This world's military level was far higher than ancient China's, so it needed higher defense walls.
Most of the soldiers on the wall were wearing leather armor, and the officers were wearing armor. There were more than hundreds of people.
After entering the city, the streets were bustling and the shops were like clouds. It was more prosperous than imagined.
Shen Lang stopped in front of a three-story building. The sign above said Splendid Court.
Not only did he want to earn a lot of money here, but he also wanted to take revenge on the Xu family.
Taking a deep breath, Shen Lang walked into the magnificent Splendid Court.
Please start my performance!
