Chapter 5 Robbery

It is not easy to live in the capital.

  Gu Changsheng, who has never had to worry about food and drink, is deeply sad. Why? The rented small courtyard costs money, and so does eating and buying vegetables. Money is a good thing!

  Xiao Cui is very good at managing the household, but she can't stand the fact that a good cook can't cook without rice. Gu Changsheng looked at the empty small package with worry. There was nothing left to pawn. He practiced a full-scale fight against a crooked willow tree in the yard to vent his dissatisfaction.

  Fortunately, Xiao Cui's feet have recovered, and the little meat bun has become more and more plump. If you ignore the people who are constantly watching outside the yard, life is still quite satisfactory.

  In Gu Changsheng's words, we are already poor enough, and we can't afford to hire a guard to watch the house. Since the people in the Li Mansion are worried, we can't live up to their kindness. If people want to stroll outside her house, they can stroll as much as they want.

  "My wife, we don't have much rice and flour at home. Do you want to buy some?"

  Gu Changsheng glanced at Xiao Cui with resentment: "How many taels of silver do we have?"

  "One tael."

  "Are you sure you counted it correctly?"

  "I have counted it several times, and there will definitely not be one more penny."

  Well, one tael is one tael. Gu Changsheng slapped the table and said, "Xiao Cui, pack your things. We will move tomorrow morning!"

  Gu Changsheng did what he said. He got up early the next day. Before it was dark, he took Xiao Cui, led the little meat buns, and carried a bag on his back and set off.

  The person watching outside the door was very responsible and was taking a nap against the wall.

  Gu Changsheng saw that there was no one around, so he quickly went up and covered him with a sack and beat him up. By the way, he robbed the person watching.

  Robbing is indeed a good way to get rich. It has high returns with zero investment. Although the risk is a bit high, it can't resist Gu Changsheng's good skills. Look, a person watching is richer than them.

  Seven taels of silver!

  Gu Changsheng stuffed the silver he robbed into Xiao Cui's hand with his eyes sparkling, waved his hand, held the little meat bun who was still asleep, and led Xiao Cui to the city gate.

  It was easy to leave the city, because they were good citizens.

  Gu Changsheng stood outside the city wall, looking at the tall tower.

  She never wanted to return to the capital again in her life, and bid farewell to the scum of the Li Mansion and the wealth and glory of the capital.

  "Destination, Liuzhou, let's go!" Gu Changsheng raised his arm and called, and the three of them set out on the road back to their hometown in Liuzhou.

  As the saying goes, it's good to stay at home for a thousand days, but it's hard to go out for a day. With their one or two taels of wealth, plus the seven taels of wealth they got from robbing and stalking, they still had no problem eating and drinking.

  Gu Changsheng looked at Xiao Cui from front to back, left to right, well, she had lived a very comfortable life in the past month, and Xiao Cui had grown from a pale and thin face to a beautiful woman in her twenties, with a delicate melon-seed face and big watery eyes. Didn't that attract a few ruffians?

  Then, Gu Changsheng's family became richer, and the process of returning home was accelerated.

  On this day, Gu Changsheng was lying in the carriage leisurely eating melon seeds, the little meat bun was struggling with the Three Character Classic, and Xiao Cui was counting silver. It can be said that he was very comfortable.

  But someone did not cooperate.

  "This mountain is opened by me, and this tree is planted by me. If you want to pass this road, leave money to buy the way." A sudden loud shout startled the carriage.

  Gu Changsheng had a melon seed stuck in his throat and coughed violently a few times.

  "My wife... My wife Changsheng, someone is robbing..." The hired coachman Liu Laotou lifted the curtain tremblingly.

  Gu Changsheng, who had recovered, curled his lips and said, "You don't need to say it, this is a classic opening line for a robbery, which will be passed down through the ages!" He glanced at his son lightly and said, "It's your turn to appear."

  The little meat bun Gu Ze and his mother had a tacit understanding. They looked at Xiao Cui speechlessly and jumped out of the car with their short legs.

  The small tumor on the neck trembled, and ran to the front of the carriage.

  "One, two, three... Mother, five!" He turned around and shouted to the carriage. There were a lot of people this time.

  "Well, son, ask."

  The five bandits who came to rob were still staring at the tumor on the little meat bun's neck in a daze, and the little kid took two steps forward with his short legs.

  "You, my mother asked me to ask, did you bring money?" The one standing in the front should be the leader of the bandits, right?

  "With it."

  He nodded blankly, and before the bearded man understood what he meant, the little meat bun ran back.

  "Mother, they said they brought silver."

  Gu Changsheng was very satisfied, patted his clothes and jumped off the carriage.

  This time they really encountered bandits. The leader was a bearded man, and there was another one with a scar on his face following behind. He didn't even need to put on makeup when robbing houses. At first glance, he was not a good person.

  When the bearded man saw a young lady getting off the carriage, his confusion immediately disappeared, and he exchanged glances with his men. There's a play! It seems that this deal is not a loss. Not only does he get money, but also a woman. Although she is not the most beautiful, she is also pretty. It would be nice to take her back and make her his wife.

  "You want to rob us?" Is there any

  need to ask this?

  "Stop talking nonsense, leave the silver and carriage, and I'll spare your lives." The bearded man spoke loudly, and the fat on his face trembled.

  "Oh. Xiao Cui, get off the car, they want silver and carriage." Gu Changsheng picked his ears and cooperated.

  Xiao Cui obediently got off with a small bag.

  The eyes of the five bandits suddenly lit up.

  "Boss, there are beauties!"

  "Boss, we've made a profit this time!"

  The bearded man smiled and shook the sword in his hand, and immediately changed his mind: "Leave the silver, carriage and beauties, and I'll spare your lives!" When

  the coachman, Old Liu, saw this, he was so scared that he hid under the carriage and trembled. This can't be resolved peacefully...

  "This is a bit difficult. Without this girl, who will take care of us mother and daughter?" Gu Changsheng shook his head, as if to discuss it later.

  "I take care of you, brothers, go!" The bearded man pointed with his sword. He was robbing and bargaining. He was really courting death!

  Xiao Cui pulled the little meat bun back to the side of the carriage and looked at Gu Changsheng worriedly. This time it was a bandit, and there were five of them, not two or three. Can his wife deal with them?

  One against five, the bandits had an absolute advantage in numbers, but unfortunately they were not good enough in quality...

  Grappling... Over-shoulder throw... Sweeping kick... Horizontal

  chop... Diagonal kick...

  In just a moment, the five people were knocked to the ground, with swords and sticks scattered all over the ground, and people curled up and howled in pain.

  "I told you not to learn good things, why do you learn to rob people..." A punch on the left, a punch on the right, and the fat on the bearded man's face disappeared, turning into a pig's head.

  "Hey, hey... Don't hit me in the face, don't hit me in the face, I haven't married yet..." The bearded man didn't care about the injuries on his body, and hurriedly raised his arms to cover his face.

  "I didn't want to fight, but you blindly wanted to hit Xiao Cui. I'm 21 years old, I can give birth to sons and fight, and I'm standing in front of you alive, can't you see it?" He opened his hands, punched his left eye, and punched his right eye, and the pig's head suddenly grew a pair of panda eyes.

  Xiao Cui and Xiao Rou Baozi closed their eyes, unable to bear to look directly at it, and were still wondering what the wife meant by what she said just now?

  Gu Changsheng, who had enjoyed playing, stood up and clapped his hands, then waved to his son and said heroically: "Put away!"

  The little meat bun shook his little arms and ran over swaggeringly, talking here and there, and soon he had a lot of things in his hands.

  Gu Changsheng looked at the money bag handed to him, his anger disappeared, squinted his phoenix eyes, and smiled contentedly, "Oh, business is good, these are all stolen, right?" The

  scarred face who was lying on the ground and rolling in pain cried: "I saved it for six years to marry a wife..."

  The little meat bun finished shaving his beard, holding a money bag, looking at the miserable face in front of him, and sighed: "My mother said that a real hero dares to face the bleak life..."

  The bearded man: "..."

  In fact, he didn't want to be a hero...

  After packing up, Gu Changsheng clapped his hands and took Xiao Cui and the little meat bun back to the carriage.

  "Old Liu, it's time to set off. Who's going to drive the carriage while you're hiding under it?"

  Old Liu climbed out from under the carriage swiftly, waved his whip, and walked away, ignoring the bandits lying on the ground and groaning.

  "That's the money I've saved for half my life to get married..." The bearded man looked up at the disappearing carriage and cried bitterly...

  In fact, they were robbed, right?

  "Madam, there are 136 taels of silver!" Xiao Cui was shocked. Gu

  Changsheng nodded. With the extra income from the previous few times, it was exactly 300 taels, which would make the journey more comfortable.

  "Madam, isn't it bad for us to rob like this?"

  "Don't refuse something that comes to your door, just do it as a favor to the government."

  "Madam, what you said to the bandit leader was not what I understood, right?" Wasn't the bandit leader beaten so badly because he wanted to rob her instead of my wife?

  "Xiao Cui, it's definitely not what you understand, but when you are in the martial arts world, you still have to be bright. Madam, I just think fighting is wrong, so I found a good excuse for myself..."

  "Mom, I also want to learn how to rob when I grow up, but I don't want a miserable life, what should I do?" The little meat bun frowned in confusion and asked seriously.

  Gu Changsheng: "..."
