Chapter 2 The First Bucket of Gold
Tang Wen picked up the little boy, somersaulted and walked into the store. This scene stunned many onlookers.
The next moment, the man was hit by the car and rolled to the ground, and was held down and handcuffed by the police.
"Luo Lin, Luo Lin...are you okay?" The middle-aged uncle and the young and beautiful girl ran over and asked, holding the child.
"Dad, sister, this is so fun." Unexpectedly, Luo Lin looked at Tang Wen excitedly.
"My little ancestor, you almost scared me to death." The young lady complained.
"Little brother, great skills, thank you very much." A slightly fat-faced policeman came over and patted Tang Wen on the shoulder and said.
"What a coincidence! I was almost scared to death." Tang Wen said with a fearful look on his face.
"What's your name, young man? My name is Luo Tiesheng." After the police left, the middle-aged man took out a business card and handed it over.
"My name is Tang Wen." Tang Wen took the business card and took a look at it. The person next to him turned out to be the 'General Manager of Jiangchang Group'. He seemed to be from an influential background.
"Thanks to you today, I have no way to repay you. Take out your cell phone and I'll scan some money to buy you a few bottles of wine." Luo Tiesheng took out his cell phone.
"No need. It's just a small favor." Tang Wen refused firmly and pretended to be about to leave.
"Well, little brother, it's almost half past eleven. I'll treat you to a meal. You have to give me this favor." Luo Tiesheng said sincerely.
"Little brother, you are so awesome. Would you like to have dinner together?" Luo Lin opened a pair of innocent eyes, ran over and pulled Tang Wen's sleeve to beg.
"Okay then, sorry to bother you." Tang Wen thought for a moment and nodded.
"Please wait a moment, little brother." Luo Tiesheng said as he made a phone call. Soon, a Maybach sedan stopped in front of him.
After getting in the car, we wandered to a quiet club, which was a private room facing the river. A young man with very well-developed muscles was standing at the door.
"My brother Luo Jun." Luo Tiesheng introduced with a smile.
"My uncle is also a very capable brother." Luo Lin said with a smile.
"Oh, how come it's so awesome?" Tang Wen said with a smile.
"Let me tell you, my uncle is the captain of the special forces team." Luo Lin said with a smug look on his face.
"Don't listen to him, he's just a small team leader." Luo Jun said with a smile.
"That's amazing." Tang Wen complimented, and as he spoke, the group entered the private room, and soon the dishes were served.
After drinking a glass of white wine, Luo Tiesheng asked, "I see that you are quite skilled, where are you from and where do you work?"
"Alas..." Tang Wen sighed deliberately, looking sad.
"Brother, tell me what you have to say. My Luo family is quite famous in Yunhai City." Luo Jun asked.
"There are some troubles. My parents abandoned me when I was born and my master picked me up on the roadside. He is a weirdo and lives in a cave." Tang Wen said.
"Is your master a hermit? What's his name and where does he live?" Luo Jun suddenly became interested.
After all, in modern society, many people advocate returning to the mountains and forests and like to live in the wild. For example, there are many people living in Mount Zhongnan.
"He just told me his last name was Tang and didn't say anything else. I asked him many times but he still didn't tell me.
He usually taught me to read and practice martial arts. Not long ago, he suddenly died of a myocardial infarction.
Before he could say a word to me, all the rice that the master had stored was soon eaten up.
So, I had to go down the mountain to find a job.
However, I found living in the city to be troublesome.
Just now, the police checked my ID card and I was almost arrested. How can I be free in the mountains?" Tang Wen sighed.
"Arrested. Why did the police arrest you?" Luo Tiesheng asked in surprise.
“I don’t have a household registration, let alone an ID card, and I saved some money by treating patients.
After coming down the mountain, I met a sister-in-law crying at the hospital gate, saying that she had no money for the surgery.
I gave it to her and slept under the bridge these days." Tang Wen said.
"This is a bit troublesome." Luo Tiesheng nodded and glanced at Luo Jun.
"Little brother, why don't you live in my house? I have many rooms there." Luo Lin said with his head tilted.
"No!" Tang Wen shook his head, glanced at Luo Jun, took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to him, saying, "You work in the special forces team, you should exercise regularly. I have three pills here, which may be useful to you."
Luo Jun uncorked the bottle, opened it and took a sniff. He immediately sniffed and said, "Good stuff. Does it refresh me?"
"A marrow cleansing pill, used to cleanse the marrow and bones, and remove impurities from the body.
The other two pills are for replenishing blood and qi, and can increase your strength after taking them.
However, it will disappear again later.
However, a portion of it will always remain in the body, and long-term use will help increase your power." Tang Wen said.
Luo Jun immediately took a Peiyuan Pill. Soon, he felt his blood and energy surge. He reached out and grabbed the handle of the chair and tried to bend it. With a click, the handle broke.
"Good stuff, really good stuff. I feel like my strength has suddenly increased by 50 to 60 pounds, otherwise, it would be impossible to break the handle of the chair." Luo Jun said excitedly.
"Uncle, you didn't see it just now, but a criminal rushed out and tried to hold me hostage. I was so scared.
It was Mr. Tang who kicked the criminal away, rushed over, hugged his younger brother, and somersaulted directly into the store.
That speed is too fast." The beautiful lady Luo Yu said with admiration.
"Let me help you solve your household registration and identity issues, Mr. Tang. Leave me your phone number and I'll contact you when the time comes," said Luo Jun.
"Thank you, but my cell phone is broken. Please leave me your number and I'll call you when it's fixed," said Tang Wen.
"Zhang Xiong, go buy a mobile phone right away and get the card and bring it over. Wait until Mr. Tang's ID card is ready before you implement the real-name registration." Luo Tiesheng instructed the housekeeper.
Zhang Xiong was very quick in his work. When the meal was over, a brand new folding screen mobile phone was delivered to him, which was Huawei's latest model.
After saying goodbye to the Luo family, Tang Wen went into an Internet cafe and searched frantically, trying to learn some knowledge about this world.
Two days later, Luo Jun called and asked Tang Wen to go to the police station to apply for an ID card and household registration.
On the fifth day, Tang Wen basically understood the situation of this world.
This place is called Blue Water Planet. It is divided into five regions and has more than 300 countries of all sizes.
Nanzhou is the largest area, about three or four times the size of Asia.
The population of the Great East Republic is 1.5 billion, it covers an area of 15 million square meters, and its system is similar to that of China...
On the eighth day, the ID card and household registration book were ready.
The Luo family also applied for a bank card and a credit card for Tang Wen. The credit card limit was 200,000 yuan, and there was 500,000 yuan in the bank card.
Tang Wen refused to accept it, but Luo Jun said that this was not money to thank him for saving his brother, but money for the reserved pills. Tang Wen could not refuse and had to accept it.
There were only two days left before the return trip, so Tang Wen turned around and went to the Bafu Golden Tower.
Through the investigation over the past few days, Tang Wen discovered that the silver in the Great East Kingdom was much cheaper than gold.
One tael of gold can be exchanged for about fifty taels of silver, while in the State of Chu one tael of gold can only be exchanged for ten taels of silver, which is a price difference of thirty to forty times.
If I have the chance to travel back again in the future, I can bring the gold from Chu here, exchange it for silver and take it back, then I will make a fortune.
Therefore, he used the 300,000 yuan in the bank card to buy 1,500 taels of silver.
The rest was paid by credit card, plus the remaining 200,000 in the bank card, totaling 400,000.
They brought rice, flour, bacon, several military and civilian tents, single beds, thin quilts, several sharp sabers, and some first aid medicines.
I passed by a small store where three items were being sold for 20 yuan, and I used the remaining tens of thousands of yuan to buy a bunch of small mirrors, cheap perfumes, lipsticks and other small gadgets.
Everything is ready and the time has come.
He felt his body tremble and a sense of suffocation, and in the green light, Tang Wen returned to Koh Samui.
"Ding Dong! The Landlord System needs to be repaired. You need to accumulate thirty points of popularity to travel through time next time." As soon as I landed, I heard the voice from the system.
I'm short of people right now, which is a problem.
The next day, Tang Wen called Li Quan and others over, took out the tent and told them to level a piece of land first.
Then they carried the stone slabs from the ruins of the Tang family's old house to pave the ground, and built the tent on the stone slabs.
After all, these three makeshift huts could not withstand strong winds and heavy rains. They leaked when it rained, and even the roofs were blown away by strong winds.
After two days of busy work, six tents were set up and the Tang family moved into their "new home".
My mother and several other women lived in one house, and Li Quan and his men lived in another.
The remaining one was used as a toilet and a kitchen, and Tang Wen occupied two of them, one as a bedroom and the other as a warehouse.
The next day, Tang Wen took some silver and asked Li Quan and Zhang Kui to go to Yanling County to exchange it for gold.
Yanling County is only about seventy or eighty , and a horse carriage can make a round trip in one day.
"Stop!" However, as soon as they reached the bridge on the other side of the island, someone shouted at them to stop.
Samui Island is connected to the mainland about three or four miles away, and a simple stone bridge has been built with stone pillars and a bridge deck that is also paved with stone, which can accommodate a carriage.
"Who are you?" Zhang Kui asked alertly.
Tang Wen saw that there were about twenty guys blocking the bridgehead, and there was also a simple thatched hut next to it.
"Could it be robbers?" Li Quan became worried.
"Their clothes are tattered and they are pale and skinny. They don't look like bandits. They might be refugees." Tang Wen shook his head.
"Well, look at what they have in their hands, hoes, sickles, wooden sticks, and not even a decent knife. Robbers won't be that miserable." Zhang Kui nodded.
"Who do you care about me? You can cross the bridge, but it will cost fifty copper coins per person." A man with small eyes said ferociously, waving a wooden stick in his hand.
"A bushel of rice is fine too." A monkey-faced man standing nearby added.
"You actually robbed someone with a gun in broad daylight. Aren't you afraid that I will report you to the police?" Tang Wen asked.
"Report to the authorities. Haha, we built this bridge, so the officials have to give us money." At this time, a middle-aged man with a high nose and broad face, who looked quite capable, walked out of the straw hut.
"What a joke! I am the owner of this island. This bridge was built by my Tang family's ancestors. When did it become yours?" Tang Wen asked coldly.
"Boy, you still want to deceive us? This is a deserted island, where does the owner come from?" Monkey Face laughed.
"Do you think I'm joking with you?" Tang Wen asked him coldly.
“The bridge broke some time ago, and we carried stones to repair it.
I don't care who you are, you have to pay.
Moreover, carriages and horses cost extra, one tael of silver per carriage." said the man with the high nose.
"Zhang Kui, let's cross the bridge. If they dare to stop us, beat them up." Tang Wen said with a raised eyebrow.
"Brothers, this guy won't give us a way to live, beat him!" the high-nosed man shouted, and a group of people rushed over with sticks in their hands.
"They have more people, let's retreat." Zhang Kui and Li Quan's faces turned pale when they saw this, and they quickly protected Tang Wen and ran back.
