Chapter 22: Blood Has Been Spilled

  Take people's money and wealth, and spend it on them. Wu Fan has taken An Yuan Shan's house and silver, so he must think of a way to get his son An Lu Shan into the Eagle Guard, while also thinking of a way to take care of his brothers who were under him when he was a small flag, right? After calculating this, more than 50 quotas, he had to set aside 20 as favors, but couldn't make it too obvious, what a difficult situation!

  Back home, Wu Fan's mind was preoccupied and he didn't even eat properly, getting rice grains all over the place. This instantly enraged Tong Rui.

  Bang!

  The loud noise brought Wu Fan's thoughts back, and he took a glance at Tong Rui, who was sitting opposite him with her eyebrows furrowed and eyes wide open, looking like she wanted to chop him up with a kitchen knife right away. Taking another look at the table, the coarse rice grains were scattered all over, and after rolling his eyes, Wu Fan honestly picked them up one by one with his chopsticks and ate them. Otherwise, because of these few dozen grains of rice, his wife would be so petty that she could quarrel with him for a whole night.

  Tong Rui poked at a mouthful of coarse rice, coldly snorting: "If you want to think about things then think about them, if you want to eat then eat, don't just stand there poking around, it's annoying just looking at you!"

  He let out a sigh, and Wu Fan smacked his lips and said: "Old lady, you say... you tell me! There's this one thing, there are three or four hundred people over there, and I need to pick out fifty of them from the inside. And I have to guarantee that these fifty people are all... are all the ones I want to see, but I also can't let anyone else notice that something fishy is going on here. You tell me, what method should I use?"

  Tong Rui slightly furrowed her brow and snorted, "Have you seen the tricks those kids next door are playing? Go take a look and you'll understand! What's the big deal, it's just a small matter, I won't even eat dinner? Ah, ah, ah, you'd better get back..."

  Before Tong Rui finished speaking, Wu Fan had already run out and climbed over the wall.

  The Wu Fan family's next-door neighbor was an ordinary commoner surnamed Huang. It is estimated that the man was quite impressive, otherwise he would not have had seven children. His wife seemed to be pregnant again, with a big belly all day long... Because Old Huang's family was really struggling, these children didn't even have money to go to school. On ordinary days, the older ones took care of the younger ones in the courtyard, playing and making up their own games, entertaining themselves very well.

  Wu Fan now sees a very interesting scene, the second child of this family is holding a small wooden bucket, with seven signs inside, all written with these children's names. After shaking up and down, whoever comes out will be the one to find the hidden person in the hide-and-seek game. After watching for a while, Wu Fan discovered the problem, because all the other children would be shaken out, except for the second child who was responsible for shaking the signs, not even once.

  "Hey, kid! Come here!" Wu Fan beckoned to the second child and directly pulled out a few scattered silver coins from his bosom, saying: "Tell me, why can't you get picked in the draw? I'll give this to you if you do!"

  That bear child's eyes lit up, and he knew that Wu Fan was in the Eagle Guard, but not a good bird. He quickly wiped his nose and demonstrated to Wu Fan. It turned out that he had done something on the signing tube, stuffing the leftover pastries from a wealthy family into the bottom of a small wooden bucket. The bamboo sign was very sharp, so he inserted the bamboo sign with his name written on it into the pastry. His other brothers and sisters didn't do that, so no matter how they shook it, it would be someone else's!

  "Haha! Interesting! Interesting! Heaven helps me too! Give it!"

  Wu Fan burst out laughing and casually stuffed the silver into the little boy's hand, also snatching the small wooden bucket from him, and returned to the house with great joy.

  Then...

  The kid next door called him an idiot behind his back.

  There was also a child bride in the house who scolded him as a fool to his face.

  Her eyes fixed on Tong Rui, just about to rush over and get the silver back, Wu Fan hastily stopped her, saying: "Don't! Don't! Don't! Listen to me first! I forgot to tell you, I've been promoted, General Flag, General Flag!"

  "What's the big deal about getting promoted? Getting promoted just means you can casually give away silver to others!”, Tong Rui was like an angry mother leopard, pointing and scolding: “You got promoted as the head of the banner for a year, how much silver did you get? Your own family is barely scraping by, and you're giving it away to others... there's no one who wastes money like you do! Get out! DIng Da, you have two big sons, isn't that enough?"

  "Alright, alright! Auntie, can't you keep your voice down?!", Wu Fan said with a bitter face, "Haven't I not finished speaking yet? Then let's consider it a farewell gift to Old Man Huang. Tomorrow, we're moving house! The mansion, I've bought a new one, on West Street Hutong, the one with two big stone lions at the entrance, you know?"

  "Really?"

  Tong Rui looked very disbelieving of Wu Fan.

  Wu Fan had no choice but to pull out a house deed from his pocket and show it to Tong Rui.

  After Tong Rui got the house deed in her hands, she looked at it carefully and asked: "Should we set up a few tables?"

  Wu Fan was suddenly shocked and said: "When did you become so rich?"

  Tong Rui narrowed her eyes and smiled enchantingly, like a little fox that was about to steal chickens: "The joy of moving into a new home can also bring in quite a bit of hongbao money, right?"

  Wu Fan: "......", what can be said? A dog cannot change its nature of eating feces? Too harsh, or should I say that the world is easy to change but human nature is hard to alter?

  And regardless of Tong Rui's abacus clattering away, Wu Fan ate dinner and immediately went to the backyard to start practicing martial arts. This is a fixed routine every day, summer training in the three months of scorching heat, winter training in the three months of bitter cold, getting up early and sleeping late. Just like many people in this world who are envious of martial artists, envying them for having the opportunity to learn martial arts, but who can know the hard work and bitterness involved? Learning is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you retreat, learning martial arts is also like this.

  Tong Rui put away the bowls and chopsticks, and began to wash Wu Fan's clothes. Indeed, she wasn't that kind of elegant and refined woman who was well-read in poetry and had a gentle disposition like water. But she had her own good qualities - she didn't mind the poverty and had supported Wu Fan all the way until now, which wasn't something just anyone could do. It really moved Wu Fan! Although... what moved him even more was Tong Rui's figure and looks, hmm, they were really not bad at all!

  After practicing the Yu Yang knife for a while, Wu Fan wiped his sweat and puffed up his chubby face to get close to Tong Rui. His eyes fell into the deep gap that occasionally appeared behind Tong Rui's bent back... Those were truly stunning white peaks, absolutely natural, squeezed together with great force, rising and falling, shaking and swaying, how could one not be greatly satisfied? Dizzy with infatuation?

  One hand can't grasp it, truly a rare treasure!

  Wu Mouren has already started thinking about whether he should get married immediately and live a happy life from now on...

  "It's bleeding!"

  Tong Rui stretched out her finger, expressionless.

  Wu Fan stared at her pale white fingers and muttered: "No!"

  Tong Rui's face twitched and she said viciously: "I'm talking about you! You damn pervert!"

  Wu Fan touched his nose and found it was indeed cool, then saw Tong Rui's about-to-explode expression, burst out laughing with a mischievous grin, turned around and ran away with an extremely... flirtatious posture!
