I can infinitely improve my spiritual attributes

Chapter 9 Thief



Night falls.

After a tiring day, Huang Yan left the fish market dragging his tired body.

Just as he walked through an alley and was about to reach his home, he saw several figures in front of his house. Suddenly his expression changed and he stopped.

One of the strong figures waved to Huang Yan.

Seeing this, Huang Yan didn't dare to run away, and walked forward with his head drooped like a local dog.

"Hu...Brother Hu, why are you here?"

Huang Yan cautiously walked to a few people and said with some stuttering.

The reason why he was so scared was because the people in front of him were debt collectors from Jude Gambling House. The leader was named Zhang Hu. He was a small leader of Jude Gambling House and had studied in a martial arts school for several months. His martial arts skills are no match for even a dozen people.

"Snapped!"

Huang Yan's response was a slap on the face.

"Fuck, if you pay back the money on time, we will come to your crappy place."

As soon as he finished speaking, a boy next to Zhang Hu raised his foot and kicked Huang Yan in the stomach.

Bang!

Huang Yan was immediately kicked to the ground and fell like a dog.

"Spare your life, Brother Hu, please spare your life. I know I was wrong. I will definitely find a way to pay back the money I owe you."

Huang Yan endured the pain and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.

"Think of a way, think of a way. You have even sold the boat at home, what else can you sell?" One of them sneered: "Do you have a son? Do you have a woman at home? You only have a broken house in a shanty town. What's the value?" A few copper plates.

You have no children, so if you want to sell, you can only sell yourself.

If you sell you as a slave to a wealthy family in the inner city, you can get back fifteen taels of silver. "

"Fifteen taels?" Huang Yan said immediately: "I obviously borrowed only fifteen taels of silver, why is it only fifteen taels?"

"Fuck you, the interest is free!" As he said, one of Zhang Hu's younger brothers kicked Huang Yan to the ground again, and said coldly: "Do you know what nine outs and thirteen returns are?" , that is, I will lend you nine taels of silver and pay back thirteen taels a month. If I lend you ten taels, you will have to pay back fourteen taels a month. The deadline has expired a few days ago. Do you know what compound interest is?

If we don't come to you, will you have to avoid us for the rest of your life? Do you think our trip is in vain? Fifteen taels of silver, please get the money out quickly. "

"What, one month's interest." Huang Yan said with a shocked look on his face: "Brother Hu, wasn't it one year when I said nine out and thirteen out? Why is it one month now?"

"Fuck you, you mean we remembered it wrong."

Brother Zhang Hu cursed angrily, immediately stepped forward, grabbed Huang Yan's hair, and hit the wall directly to the side.

boom!

Huang Yan's head hit the earth wall hard, and stars shot out of his eyes.

"Tell me again, is it a year or a month."

Brother Zhang Hu said coldly.

"Brother Hu, I know I was wrong. One month is one month." Huang Yan immediately begged for mercy: "Brother Hu, tell them to stop fighting and give me some more time. I have paid my wages today. I will first Pay back some of the money.”

With that said, Huang Yan took out four big coins from his arms.

One large amount of money is 500 Wen, and four large amounts of money is 2,000 Wen.

"Okay, don't beat people to death."

Seeing Huang Yan take out the money, Zhang Hu also ordered his younger brother to stop.

Their purpose is to ask for money.

If someone is accidentally beaten to death, the loss will be their own.

"But it's only two thousand coins, which is not even enough to pay back the interest."

Zhang Hu said calmly.

One tael of silver can be exchanged for a thousand pence.

Two thousand penny is equivalent to two taels of silver, which is indeed not enough to pay the interest.

"Brother Hu, please give me a few days of grace. I will definitely find a way to pay you back."

Huang Yan cried and begged for mercy, his face covered with tears.

Zhang Hu's younger brother beat him several times, but he didn't hold back at all. The tears were caused by pain.

"Okay, then I will give you another three days of grace." Zhang Hu said: "After three days, if you still don't pay back the money, then I will sell you to a wealthy family in the inner city as a slave to pay off the debt."

"I...I know, thank you Brother Hu." Huang Yan said, "I will definitely find a way to raise the money."

"It's good to know. There are still thirteen taels of silver left to pay. I will come back to you in three days."

Zhang Hu stepped forward and patted Huang Yan's face, then left with his three younger brothers.

"Thirteen taels of silver, where can I get thirteen taels of silver in three days?"

Seeing Zhang Hu and others leaving, Huang Yan collapsed on the ground, as if his spine had been severed.

If the awning boat was still there, he could barely make enough money by selling it together with the shabby house he lived in. However, he sold the awning boat some time ago, leaving only a shabby house.

If he cannot pay back the money in three days, he will really be sold to a wealthy family as a slave.

Moreover, he had borrowed all the money his neighbors could borrow before, but now even if he goes to borrow money, he can't borrow any money.

If you can't get money through normal channels, you'll have to steal it.

Huang Yan took a deep breath.

After dinner, he planned to buy cigarettes from some people of different religions and religions whom he met at the gambling house. This way he could ensure that they would be foolproof and would not wake people up in their sleep. At least during the day, he would not dare to do such a sneaky thing.

Once discovered, the neighbors could drown him with just a drop of saliva.

The night is getting darker.

"Click..."

Zhou Shan suddenly opened his eyes in his sleep and heard a slight footstep outside the house.

Then, he saw the window paper being gently poked open by a finger, and then a bamboo tube was stretched in, blowing out a puff of smoke.

"Smoke?!"

Zhou Shan's face changed and he immediately held his breath.

He immediately grabbed a rusty hatchet placed beside the bed.

"Only one person!"

At the same time, Zhou Shan immediately released his mental power, and when he found out that there was only one person outside the house, he was relieved.

Although he practiced the Turtle Breathing Skill and had reached the first level, the time of practice was too short, and only the "physique" attribute was improved a little, and the other attributes did not change.

Unless the Turtle Breathing Skill is practiced to the first level, it can beat five or six adult men who have not practiced martial arts with bare hands. However, if there is only one person, Zhou Shan can still deal with it. By sensing the intensity of life fluctuations, he can confirm that the thief outside the house is just an ordinary person without force, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Huang Yan, who was outside the house, was dressed in black and had a black hood on his head, revealing only his eyes and nose. Therefore, even if Zhou Shan released his spiritual power to investigate, he could not recognize that the person outside was Huang Yan.

Holding a rusty hatchet in his hand, Zhou Shan quietly got up from the bed and walked to the side of the door.

After releasing the smoke, the person outside the house began to turn the bolt, and then pushed open the door. A black shadow crept in. Zhou Shan, who was standing on the side, raised the hatchet in his hand and chopped at the black shadow in front of him without hesitation.
