Chapter 24 Money Throw
In response to Su Yu's question, the short, stout man turned around and gave a simple, honest smile.
"Oh, it's Brother Su! What a coincidence, you're hiding here too." He pointed to the grain sacks on the ground and said with a smile, "We just snatched these from someone sneaking around, and we were worried about whose they were."
The short, stout man was Zhou Da, and the tall, thin man beside him was his younger brother Zhou San. The two of them looked at Su Yu with smiles on their faces, appearing completely unconcerned.
Su Yu's expression was cold as he continued, "It's mine. Either you give it back to me, or I'll take it back myself."
Su Yu hadn't had much contact with these two people; he'd only met them a few times at the Qian family's fishing team. In his memory, they weren't anything special, just ordinary people.
Zhou Da still had that憨笑 (simple and honest smile) look on his face, while Zhou San's expression turned cold. He threw the cloth bag in his hand to the ground, put his hand on the fish-killing knife at his waist, and his triangular eyes flashed with a fierce light.
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
"Hey, third brother, don't be impulsive!"
Zhou Da suddenly reached out to stop his younger brother, his smile widening, and offered him the grain sack.
"Since it belongs to Brother Su, it should naturally be returned to its rightful owner. We're all brothers in the Qian family's fishing team; we'll see each other all the time, and we'll have plenty of opportunities to interact in the future, right?"
He emphasized the last sentence.
Su Yu took the bag, his eyes flickered slightly, and he put on a smiling face: "In that case, it's just a misunderstanding."
Upon opening the cloth bag, Su Yu found that the rice, oil, meat, and other items were still inside. He smiled, said goodbye, and left.
As he stepped out of the alley, his expression turned cold again. These two were no good people; judging from their posture, they probably intended to attack him.
However, I am now at the level of a gatekeeper, so I have nothing to fear.
In the shadows of the alley, Zhou San watched Su Yu's departing figure, a fierce glint in his eyes: "Brother, are we just going to let him go like that? The market is still in chaos, we might as well take this opportunity to kill this kid."
The simple smile on Zhou Da's face vanished instantly, replaced by a chilling coldness.
"Fool. Didn't you see? This kid's breathing is deep and steady, and the speed he used to chase that thief... he's already broken through one barrier."
"What?!"
On Wednesday, his pupils contracted sharply, followed by a twisted expression of extreme jealousy and contortion on his face. "This poor kid has natural talent too? How come! I've trained for so long and I'm still a waste!"
"What's the rush?" Zhou Da patted his younger brother's trembling arm, his tone like soothing a raging mad dog. "As long as we take down that stupid woman surnamed Gao, we'll have money. Then we'll send you to a martial arts school and try to break through again with herbal medicine."
Mentioning that woman, a lewd glint flashed in Zhou San's eyes, and he licked his lips: "That woman is really stupid, thinking she's got us all hooked. Hehe, I'll have to have some fun with her later..."
"Of course, of course."
……
As night fell, the shouts of battle gradually subsided.
Su Yu didn't know who won, but fortunately neither side killed anyone indiscriminately, and everyone in the market left safely.
Su Yu returned home, and as soon as he opened the door, Ya'er followed him in like a little tail.
Looking into the little girl's eyes, which were full of dependence, Su Yu sighed inwardly.
She's just a little girl, only ten years old, and she's all alone at home, so it's perfectly normal.
The words that were meant to tell her to go back changed as they came out: "Come in."
Once inside, Su Yu handed the rice, oil, meat, and other items to Ya'er, instructing her to put them away carefully. He had originally planned to save the brown rice for her, as he needed to earn enough money to return to the martial arts school as soon as possible to practice.
After tidying up, Su Yu sent the maid back, closed the doors and windows, and lit the oil lamp.
Splash!
A pile of silver was spilled on the table, gleaming alluringly under the lamplight. After counting, it amounted to a full twenty-five or twenty-six taels of silver!
"Murderers and arsonists wear golden belts; the ancients were right."
Su Yu sighed and carefully put the silver away. With this money, the cost of medicine for the next few months was covered!
Then, he picked up the yellowed booklet, which had three big characters written on it: Money Throwing!
Money Throw, also known as the Eighteen Hands of Money Landing, is a hidden weapon technique that uses explosive force from the fingers and wrists to control the rotation and throwing of objects.
The hidden weapon used in this technique is a coin-shaped dart, which requires special crafting.
However, even without using darts, other hidden weapons can be used, such as throwing knives or even stones.
This technique has four key points: the square and the circle are in the palm of the hand, the fingertips can be thunderous and startle ghosts and gods... money cannot touch the hands of a hero, and a fortune can buy life!
Corresponding to four realms, there are four types of force.
Square and round force, spiral force, wind-listening force, and back-penetrating spring!
It sounds very impressive, but considering that it's most likely a common skill that many people in the Money Gang have the opportunity to cultivate, it's probably just bragging.
It seems even people in ancient times couldn't escape boasting...
Su Yu pushed open the door and went out into the courtyard. He picked up a smooth pebble from the corner of the wall, gripped it with his thumb and middle finger, and slightly tensed the tendons in his wrist.
"The first move: testing the waters!"
With a flick of the wrist, a burst of skillful force was unleashed.
"Snapped!"
The pebbles, like shooting stars, struck the earthen wall hard, bounced off, and left a deep white mark.
[Martial Arts]: Money Throw (Beginner 1/100)
Familiar ink-wash style text appeared, and a sense of understanding about the technique of tossing coins flooded my mind.
Square and round force, pinching objects with fingertips, striking with a square and round motion, finding the center of gravity, wind-cutting...
"Okay! I get it!"
Su Yu immediately picked up a new stone and began throwing it.
"Slap! Slap! Slap..."
In the quiet courtyard, a continuous series of striking sounds rang out.
The noise continued until midnight. If this had happened in my previous life, someone would have definitely filed a complaint for disturbing the peace...
[Martial Arts]: Money Throw (Beginner 50/100)
"Your skill level has increased so quickly!"
Su Yu himself was shocked. Although this hidden weapon technique was not a powerful martial art, the rapid increase in proficiency gave him a long-lost sense of exhilaration.
Compared to this money-throwing technique, the growth of the White Ape Six Transformations is incredibly slow!
Does this indicate that he has very poor physical constitution or that he is exceptionally skilled in using hidden weapons?
"No, I want to practice a little longer!"
"Slap! Slap! Slap..."
……
Early in the morning, Ya'er brought over a hot breakfast right on time.
Su Yu asked her to sit down with him, then went to get two salted duck eggs, handed one to her, and started eating.
"I'm going back to the city to practice martial arts soon. This house is just sitting empty anyway, so why don't you move in? Use my things and help me tidy up the house."
Ya'er nodded silently, wanting to say something but swallowing it back.
After finishing breakfast, Su Yu carried the two pounds of pork he had cut the day before to his cousin Su Hong's house.
"Knock knock knock!"
A moment later, the door opened and my aunt came out.
"Oh, it's Xiaoyu." She hesitated for a moment. "Come in."
Su Yu frowned slightly. His aunt's eyes were red and her hair was disheveled, as if she had just been crying.
Upon entering the house, a strong smell of herbs mixed with the stench of blood assaulted my senses.
Su Yu placed the pork on the table. "Aunt, this is two catties of pork that was just cut yesterday. It's to help you recover. Is my brother coming home tonight? I'd like to ask him to have a drink with me."
Upon hearing this, the eldest aunt suddenly burst into tears, sobbing as she said, "She's in the inner room!"
A sense of foreboding rose in Su Yu's heart. He quickly entered the inner room and saw his eldest brother lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, his face pale.
"Big brother! What's going on?!"
Su Hong smiled bitterly. He had heard Su Yu enter the room the moment he entered, but he hadn't said a word.
Seeing his second brother come to the bedside, he said helplessly, "It's nothing, it's nothing. There was some trouble with the gang a few days ago, and I got injured. I'm just resting at home for a few days."
"My son, how could you be so foolish!" At this moment, the eldest aunt entered the room, her cries filled with anguish.
"Xiaoyu, your older brother's leg is broken; he's completely crippled!"
"What?!"
Su Yu was shocked and pulled back the blanket, only to find that Su Hong's legs were unable to move and bright red blood was seeping from his trouser legs.
He immediately reached out and felt the bones... both leg bones... completely shattered!
Completely crippled!
"Who did this?" Su Yu's voice was as cold as an ice cellar.
Su Hong opened his eyes and gave a wry smile: "Second brother, don't ask anymore. You can't handle this."
"Did Cao Bin personally intervene?"
Su Hong remained silent.
Seeing his elder brother remain silent, Su Yu knew the answer.
Martial artist Cao Bin! He personally took action!
At this moment, Su Yu also felt the pressure. He was no match for Cao Bin in terms of his current strength.
"Second brother, it doesn't matter if I'm crippled, but it will also harm you!" Su Hong's eyes were bloodshot at this moment, and the emotions that had been suppressed for many days burst out.
"Cao Bin is determined to wipe me out. He deliberately spared my life to torture me! He wants to torture my family and friends to death first to avenge the murder of his brother! Then he'll kill me last, making me die in agony!"
"I've ruined you all! I'm powerless! It's hateful that I lack the innate talent for martial arts! Second brother, now our Su family can only rely on third brother!"
"I kept this from you because I didn't want to disturb my third brother's martial arts training. He's weak-willed and can't handle pressure, so please don't tell him. He's already passed the second stage of his cultivation journey. If he truly breaks through to become a martial artist, then our Su family will have any hope of survival!"
