Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 179 Learned a lot

Li Zhi took out the silver he had taken from Pu Hui from the package, counted it, and distributed it to the others, saying, "Don't worry about it. Just remember to take the money and do the work. Anyway, the place we are going to is on the way and it won't delay the trip."

Xu Zhen and his people are not like Li Zhi who does business without capital. They live a tight life. If they were not with Li Zhi, a rich man, they would not be able to live so comfortably. Now that they see money to be collected, of course they will not refuse it. Instead, they are all happy.

Pu Hui smiled and said nothing. He knew very well that these people did not know the real origin of the tiger, so he did not say anything at this moment. He thought it was good that this could avoid unnecessary trouble.

As for Pu Hui, he took a ride with Li Zhi and his group on the pretext that he was going to Chengfeng Town.

Xu Zhen and others naturally wouldn't say much about this. After all, they had just lived and eaten in someone else's temple. How could they have the nerve to refuse him now?

Moreover, Pu Hui really needed to go to Chengfeng Town to handle some matters, so hitchhiking was not considered a lie, nor did it violate any precepts.

Pu Hui was originally worried that the tiger might go crazy and hurt people, but she found that the tiger was unusually obedient when Wang Yang was holding it in his hand. It would sit when Wang Yang asked it to sit and walk when Wang Yang asked it to walk. It was as obedient as a puppy.

This made Pu Hui feel much more at ease, and he also felt that asking Li Zhi and others for help was a wise choice.

Wang Yang glanced at Pu Hui and then at Li Zhi. He knew where the tiger came from. Although Li Zhi hadn't told him anything, he probably knew something. So he didn't say anything. Anyway, he had money to earn and a tiger to play with, so he wouldn't suffer any loss.

The few of them talked and laughed along the way, and soon they arrived at Tangbian Town.

Li Zhi took a look at the sky and realized that it was already time for lunch, so he suggested taking a break here and having something to eat.

However, because they were carrying a tiger, they did not dare to go in even though they were near the town. The tiger looked quite docile, but it was a wild beast after all, and no one could guarantee when it would go crazy. If it hurt others, it would be troublesome.

Moreover, even if they brought a tiger into the town, it would probably cause a riot. This was what Li Zhi was most reluctant to see, and others also did not want to cause any trouble.

Therefore, Li Zhi took Erniu to the town to buy some food, while Wang Yang, Pu Hui and others stayed outside the town and found a deserted place to rest and wait.

In this way, Li Zhi brought Erniu into Tangbian Town.

As soon as he entered the town, Li Zhi felt a tranquility that was different from other small towns.

There were very few pedestrians on the street, and only a few shops around were open for business.

This reminded Li Zhi of his previous visit to Sanyang City. However, at that time, Sanyang City was haunted, which caused panic among the people and no one dared to go out. And this place was so quiet and deserted, could it be haunted as well?

Suddenly, Li Zhi frowned. But he didn't frown because there were few people here, but because he found that someone was following them.

This group of people had been targeting Li Zhi and his companions since they just entered the town. Li Zhi, through the mosquito demon's investigation, found that not only them, but most of the people who entered the town with Li Zhi and his companions were also targeted by this group of people.

As the mosquito demon secretly watched, Li Zhi saw that some people had been robbed by these people. This group of people was large in number and would surround them as soon as they got the chance. Seeing this aggressive posture, most people would obediently hand over their money and dare not resist at all, thinking that they would spend money to ensure safety.

Of course, there were a few stubborn ones who ended up being severely beaten up and then had all their money and belongings brutally searched away.

Li Zhi also found through his observation that those who were not targeted were local residents of the town. It was obvious that this group of people were targeting people from other places.

Moreover, they were very professional. When they met young men like Li Zhi and Er Niu who were armed, they would not act rashly at the first moment. Instead, they would carefully and slowly gather people, quietly follow them in secret, and closely observe Li Zhi and Er Niu's every move.

Li Zhi glanced at the lonely surroundings, and gradually understood why it was like this. He turned around and glanced at Erniu, who had been with Li Zhi for quite some time. After seeing the look Li Zhi gave him, he immediately nodded in understanding.

So Li Zhi said to Erniu, "I'll go buy some meat, and you go buy some vegetarian food for Master Puhui."

After Erniu responded heavily, the two of them separated tacitly.

Seeing this, the people who had been following Li Zhi and his group quickly sent some people to follow Erniu, while the rest continued to follow Li Zhi closely.

It seemed that because Li Zhi was now alone, the group felt that Li Zhi's threat was greatly reduced, so they began to no longer be careful to hide their bodies. Some guys even walked up to Li Zhi and looked at him unscrupulously with provocative eyes.

Li Zhi just pretended not to see it and ignored it, just as he was about to move forward. Unexpectedly, the man took a step forward and blocked Li Zhi in a very arrogant manner.

Li Zhi looked up at the scoundrel in front of him. He still had a smile on his face and asked calmly, "Brother, what do you want to talk to me about?"

The ruffian raised his head high and said, "I see you are carrying a sword, I wonder if it is sharp..."

As he said this, he tore open his shirt, revealing his hairy chest, and continued, "How about you stab me here and let me see?"

Li Zhi smiled, a barely perceptible light flashed in his eyes, and said, "Brother, you are joking. If I stab you with this sword, won't it hurt you to death?"

Seeing that Li Zhi didn't dare to stab, the ruffian suddenly became even more arrogant. He shouted like a scoundrel: "Just stab me when I told you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Li Zhi's face changed slightly. He looked evasive and didn't dare to look directly at the ruffian. He whispered, "This... This is not good..."

Seeing Li Zhi retreat again and again, the ruffian was more and more certain that Li Zhi did not have the courage to stab him with a sword. So he became bolder. He grabbed Li Zhi's clothes, his eyes flashing with ferocity, and shouted at the top of his voice: "If you don't stab me, you are not giving me face..."

However, before he could finish his words this time, he suddenly saw Li Zhi suddenly raise his head. Li Zhi's eyes were staring straight at him, and the coldness in his eyes suddenly chilled his heart. He seemed to realize something and opened his mouth anxiously to say something.

But it was too late.

Only a slight "puff" sound was heard.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp sword ruthlessly pierced through the man's body.

Li Zhi's voice carried a hint of novelty and seemed to contain a hint of teasing, echoing clearly in his ears.

"This is the first time in my life that I have encountered such a strange request. Someone actually forced me to stab him with a sword. This really broadens my horizons..."
