Chapter 21 Midnight, Visitors

A Shui's father fell to the ground, using his body to protect his fish basket. Two bighead carps were jumping around in the bamboo basket.

A man in his thirties in blue clothes was stepping on the back of his hand with a playful look on his face, stomping on it repeatedly. A group of scoundrels were around, all of them were well-known ruffians in Qingyuan Market.

Several fishermen from the fleet fell to the ground, their faces bruised and their bodies covered in blood.

When Song Lin squeezed into the crowd.

The old fisherman was standing in front of A Shui's father.

“You old thing, do you want to meddle in other people’s business?” The man smiled angrily and pushed the old fisherman in the chest.

suddenly.

A hand gripped his wrist tightly.

The man in blue struggled subconsciously but failed to break free.

"How brave!"

He glared at Song Lin angrily and punched him in the face.

A cold light suddenly flashed in Song Lin's eyes.

"stop!"

A loud shout came from outside the crowd.

Boss Yu pushed through the crowd, stood in front of the fishermen, and stopped the blue-clothed bully.

Song Lin silently stepped behind him, helped A Shui's father up from the ground, and put down the brick in his hand.

But then I heard Old Master Yu say, "Master Cao Wu, you are bullying my people! Are you going to join the river patrol team and you don't care about the rules of the fish market?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he took the initiative.

"Yu Xiong."

Cao Jin's face changed from cloudy to bright, and he said, "Okay, today I, Cao Jin, will give you this face, Boss Yu. Let's go."

After saying that, he waved his hand.

He actually left with a few ruffians.

Song Lin was somewhat surprised that the matter was resolved so easily.

"Boss Yu, I..." A Shui's father's voice trembled a little.

"Stop talking, let's leave here first." Boss Yu stopped him, looked around, and led his men away from the scene.

After a while.

A group of people returned to A Shui's home.

"Ah~~"

Boss Yu sighed, "Tell me, why did it get so chaotic today? Is it possible that Cao Jin is about to join the river patrol team and will not take the rules of the fish pen seriously?"

"Boss Yu, this is really not our fault."

"That Cao Jin has become more and more arrogant in recent days. Normally, he only charges the usual three cents a day for selling fish. But today he insisted that we were selling bighead carp and demanded a 30% commission!"

"Yes, yes. A fish costs 30%. He has not even joined the river patrol team yet, but he has already learned the rules of the patrol team."

"It costs 30% to enter Baipin Ferry, and another 30% to sell fish in the market. Who can bear this in the future?"

"Boss Yu, you have to do justice for us!"

Several fishermen complained.

Through their words, Song Lin slowly understood the whole story.

Cao Jin was a small leader in charge of the Qingyuan Market. On the surface, he was responsible for collecting the fees from the fishermen, but in reality, he was a local thug with a group of people following him.

I heard that he had entered the tiger and leopard stage some time ago, and even got in touch with the Huangluan River Patrol Team. As a result, he became more arrogant and lawless, and when he encountered precious fish species such as bighead carp, he directly started to pump water.

Song Lin frowned.

If this continues, it will be related to him.

The bighead carp's nest is located inside the Baiping ferry. Although it can avoid the water pumping by the river patrol team, it has to sell its fish at the market to improve its life, but it cannot escape the scoundrel Cao Jin.

"This guy is a trouble." Song Lin said in his heart.

at this time.

Faced with everyone's complaints, Boss Yu felt quite helpless.

Behind Cao Jin is the River Patrol Team, and behind the River Patrol Team is the Giant Whale Gang. If it weren't for his own strength, today's incident would probably not have ended well. As for the bighead carp that was taken away from several people, he had no way to get it back.

"Let's all go back first. I'll think of a way to deal with this."

Boss Yu had no choice but to comfort everyone in this way.

After a few fishermen left, only the boss, Chen Ping and Song Lin were left.

"I'm afraid this matter is not over yet." He suddenly sighed and said to Song Lin: "Cao Jin is a very vengeful person. He was still cautious when I was around. From now on, you have to be careful when you sell fish in the market."

Song Lin said: "Boss Yu, are you worried that he will retaliate later?"

"Alas..." Boss Yu hesitated, patted him on the shoulder, and turned to leave.

For that kind of skinning person, Song Lin's grab of his wrist today was enough reason for him to cause trouble.

Looking at Yu Xiong’s departing back.

Song Lin frowned.

Yu Xiong has a generous personality and is quite caring towards his neighbors. However, he has long been worn down by reality and knows how high the sky is. Facing the exploitation of the Giant Whale Gang, he chose to be tolerant.

What else?
To the fishermen at the bottom of society, he is a rather domineering captain. But facing the river patrol team and the giant whale gang, he is just a small figure.

night.

Gradually deepening.

Song Lin put the warrior's fate into the reincarnation fate plate, replacing the last small fish's fate.

The five auxiliary life positions are Lingchong, Bird Watching, Water Lover, Tiewei and Wufu.

Suddenly.

The illusory Duck Killing Fate was shining brightly. The blazing white color gradually faded away, and the bright yellow color infected the original area.

Until the bright yellow color occupied 25% of the light of the fate.

"It has increased by half." Song Lin was slightly happy.

This result was exactly what he expected.

The Iron Stomach Fate is the key to starting a practice, while the Warrior Fate is a talent for martial arts. Comparing the two, of course, the Iron Stomach Fate has a higher upper limit. But if we only talk about combat effectiveness, the improvement brought by the Warrior Fate may be greater.

But all this still needs to be verified in the previous life.

He immediately immersed his mind into the fate of a foolish man.

[The silkworm dies before all its silk is exhausted, and the lone goose soars proudly into the sky. ]

[You can now enter the Tribulation Chapter: The Second Tribulation of a Fool - The Silkworm of the Heart]

"The archive of the robbery chapter is still there."

"Sure enough, my martial arts fate did not affect my birth in my previous life."

"Want to go in?"

Song Lin lowered his head and thought for a moment.

He felt that he was not confident enough to survive the Heart Silkworm Tribulation. He and Sun Er were both disabled, and they didn't know how to recover...

"I'd better wait until I have improved my strength and go to the bighead carp's nest to see if I can get a better fate from the fish king!"

Da da~~
In the silent night, footsteps were clearly heard.

Song Lin suddenly turned his head and looked towards the door.

The footsteps are getting closer.

Knock~
Knock knock~~
There was a rhythmic knocking on the door.

"Who?"

Song Lin said coldly.

If someone comes to your door in the middle of the night, it is either a thief or an undesirable guest.

"Brother, I have already checked it out. This guy is a stranger. He has only been learning from the widower Chen Ping for a few days. He doesn't have much experience. Why should we be polite to him!" As soon as he finished speaking, the door was kicked open with a bang.

Two figures walked in.

The first one was Cao Jin, the gang leader from the day. The man behind him was a short, thief-like person who looked bad.

"Boy, do you still recognize our Master Cao?"

The lackey glared at Song Lin and shouted harshly.

"I recognize it."

Song Lin glanced at Cao Jin, who was standing aside with his arms folded, pretending to be cold, and said playfully, "I just met him this morning, and he came to my house in the evening. You two are really well-informed."

"Of course. You've offended Master Cao. Do you really think Yu Xiong can protect you?"

The lackey paused for a moment, then turned to Cao Jin and said, "Boss, I heard that this guy also caught a few bighead carp yesterday. I'll find them for you right now as an apology. Hahaha~~"

It turns out that this was their purpose.

Song Lin suddenly understood.

This man looked like a bully, as if he was relying on the power of Cao Jin, a skilled fighter, to have him in his hands.

Seeing that Song Lin did not respond.

The man glared at him again and shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Hand over the bighead carp and kneel down to apologize to Master Cao! Today's incident is over."

"Kneel down?"

The smile on Song Lin's face faded little by little.
