Chapter 1087 Going to Borrow Some Money

Lin Feng waved his hand: "You just stay in the shadows, I'll get the money, I won't let you get beaten up."

How do you do it?

"I'll go ask them to lend me some money."

"Do you know them?"

"do not know."

"Would someone you don't know lend you money?"

Lin Feng sighed: "I'll just pay you ten taels of silver then, why all the fuss?"

The woman with thick eyebrows stopped asking questions, but continued to mutter to herself.

"Just hope he doesn't drown again..."

Lin Feng felt increasingly agitated, unable to suppress his restlessness. He glared at the woman with thick eyebrows, wanting nothing more than to hit her.

Then he sighed, realizing that he had become an impulsive, easily angered, and easily moved person, all thanks to the broken sword.

The woman with thick eyebrows was so frightened by his glare that she shut her mouth tightly and dared not utter another word.

She didn't trust Lin Feng to wait by her side; he had to stay within her sight.

The two of them, one after the other, arrived at a few thatched houses on the dock.

Light shone from the thatched house, where there was a lot of noise and the clattering of dishes.

Even from a distance, Lin Feng knew that someone was drinking and gambling in the thatched house.

There were only three or four thatched houses on the entire dock, and it was pitch black outside, with not a soul in sight.

Lin Feng gestured for the woman with thick eyebrows to wait outside, then stepped forward, pushed open the door, and strode inside, leaving the woman with thick eyebrows staring blankly.

The moment the door was pushed open, a stench of alcohol mixed with a foul smell assaulted Lin Feng's face.

Seven or eight men had gathered in the thatched house, their faces glowing in the dim light, loudly urging people to place their bets.

On a broken table, there was a porcelain bowl containing several dice, which were being grabbed, shaken, and tossed around by many hands.

There were also several small piles of loose silver or copper coins on the table.

With hoarse throats and bloodshot eyes, several men were shirtless, some muscular and others emaciated.

No one paid any attention to the person coming in; they were all focused on the dice in the bowl on the table and shouting loudly.

Lin Feng glanced around and saw some harpoons, machetes, short sticks, and other weapons leaning against the walls of the thatched hut.

He casually picked up a short stick, weighed it in his hand, and felt that the weight was just right.

Without saying a word, he swung his short stick and smashed it on the head of a man whose back was to him.

With a thud, the man collapsed to the ground without uttering a sound.

Before the man's body even hit the ground, Lin Feng's short stick had already smashed into another man's head.

It wasn't until three men were knocked down that the other men noticed something was wrong.

As the fourth man fell, the remaining men immediately let out a shout and began searching for weapons.

Lin Feng wouldn't let them have any extra moves. He swung his short stick and smashed it on the heads of those men one after another.

In less than two breaths, all eight men collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Lin Feng threw away the short stick, picked up the porcelain bowl containing the dice, and began to scatter the loose silver and copper coins on the table.

Clearly, it's still short of ten taels of silver.

Lin Feng had no choice but to search the men's bodies.

They also found several pieces of silver and several hundred coins on them.

Finally, he put the money in a shirt belonging to someone else, turned around, and pushed open the door to leave.

The process is very simple and quick.

Lin Feng thoughtfully closed the door for them outside the thatched house before turning around and going to the dock. The woman with thick eyebrows emerged from the shadows and looked at him anxiously.

"So, did they lend you any money?"

Lin Feng carried a bag of money and waved it in front of the woman with thick eyebrows.

"Of course it was borrowed, and it was very convenient. It's all here; you can check the amount."

The woman with thick eyebrows was once again stunned.

People from the city are different. They can talk a good game, and these usually fierce and ruthless gangsters will obediently lend them money.

Sigh, comparisons are odious.

The woman with thick eyebrows carried a heavy bag of money, her heart filled with joy. She and her husband had saved a benefactor.

Regardless of whether it's ten taels or not, the money they have is enough for the couple to save for several years.

The two parted ways outside the dock.

The woman with thick eyebrows was still reluctant to leave.

"Young master, remember to come to our boat for fish soup when you have some free time."

Lin Feng waved his hand, signaling her to hurry up and leave, lest she be caught up with and her life be in danger.

Lin Feng stood not far from the dock, watching the woman with thick eyebrows leave.

He wasn't reluctant to leave; he was waiting for the members of the canal gang to come to their senses so he could lead them towards the city gate to chase after them.

Otherwise, the woman with thick eyebrows would still not have escaped the pursuit of the Canal Gang.

Lin Feng silently counted in his mind: one, two, three...

When he counted to ten, there was movement in the thatched house inside the dock.

The shouts gradually grew louder, with curses rising and falling, mixed with the clanging of weapons.

The next moment, someone carrying a torch and a knife rushed out of the thatched house.

A dozen or so men rushed out from the three or four thatched houses, glanced around, and spotted Lin Feng standing not far away.

With a whistle, they all exerted their strength and charged towards Lin Feng.

Lin Feng then started running towards the city gate.

They didn't increase the distance, but kept a distance of about ten zhang, guiding the group of men towards the city gate.

Soon, Lin Feng arrived at the drawbridge of the city gate tower. With a slight push of his feet, he leaped across the moat and landed at the foot of the city wall.

The group of men who had chased after them reached the moat, where they huddled together, shouting loudly, but unable to cross the river, they could only hop and curse.

Seeing Lin Feng's figure disappear into the darkness, he hurriedly shouted to the soldiers on the city wall to lower the drawbridge.

Amidst the shouts and screams, the dozen or so men, instead of seeing the drawbridge fall, were met with a hail of arrows.

After knocking down two or three men, the rest scattered like birds and beasts, running back in a panic.

At this moment, Lin Feng had already crossed the city wall, stepping on the roof ridge, and rushed towards Duan's Silver Shop.

As he crossed the city wall, he felt the broken sword throbbing, knowing that Kuroda Shi probably hadn't caught up with him, and returned to Duan's Silver Shop.

I don't know why this guy is so persistent in searching for me. Is he in a hurry to avenge his junior sister, Tsuruta Cho?

Lin Feng sped along, leaving only a trail of afterimages in the night sky.

Kuroda was furious. Kairo Keizo had disappeared after giving him a warning.

The person he chased with all his might eventually lost his goal; he was blatantly thrown into the fields, not knowing where he was.

Coupled with the mysterious disappearance of Tsuruta Cho, all sorts of strange occurrences filled Kuroda Shi with a nameless fear.

If it were a divine intervention, why would it leave Kuroda Shi behind?

The figure moved incredibly fast, like a fly buzzing around randomly, bumping into things here and there without any discernible pattern. Was it intentional, or had something else happened?

Kuroda Shige thought to himself, then gave up the chase and turned back to Losi City.

This is where the incident occurred; he doesn't believe it has nothing to do with the Duan family.

The figure rushing forward was so fast that his skill was clearly superior to Kuroda's. Since he was stronger than Kuroda, why was he running away?
