Begin your proficiency with basic knife skills

Qingjiang City, a shanty town outside the city.

In a small courtyard, Jiang Yan woke up from a state of confusion.

He opened his eyes, and what he saw was the dark thatched roof. A few rays of sunlight filtered in from outside, illuminating the flying dust.

Underneath me is a painfully hard door panel, covered with a layer of hay.

The memory of the original Jiang Erniu has been completely integrated by him.

In this world, demons and evil spirits are rampant, and the scope of human activities is only around the cities.

And only during the day can people go out together to find food.

When it gets dark, there is a world full of evil spirits outside.

There are talisman arrays on the city walls to protect you, which can drive away demons and evil spirits.

But at the edge of this shantytown, the power of the talisman array is extremely weak.

So at night, a night watchman is needed to beat the special bangle to drive away evil spirits and sporadically approaching demons.

The original brother, Jiang Daniu, was the night watchman. He was defeated by the monster and only half of his head was left uneaten.

The only thing left is this small courtyard, which is not bad in the shanty town.

And...

Jiang Yan turned his head and saw an attractive large millstone.

That is his sister-in-law, Yu Huilan, a young woman whose small branches bear fruit.

Jiang Yan struggled to get up, his bones ached as if they were falling apart, and his throat was burning.

Because Jiang Erniu was frail and sick, he was used to staying in bed, but he couldn't.

"Cough..." Jiang Yan wanted to speak, but his throat was too dry to make a clear sound.

Yu Huilan, who was chopping firewood, paused and turned around.

She was wearing a coarse cloth dress, which was gray in color, but could not hide her plump figure at all.

Her waist is slender, but her buttocks are unusually plump and round. The loose skirt holds up a thrilling arc. As she walks, the heavy millstone sways gently, carrying a grace that is incompatible with this dilapidated environment.

The shanty towns cannot produce such plump women.

She was from the city. She killed two men one after another and was driven out of the city.

When he committed suicide by throwing himself into a river, he was picked up by his brother Jiang Daniu.

When she saw Jiang Yan waking up, she forced a smile and said softly, "Uncle, are you awake? Porridge... is almost ready."

Porridge?

The pottery pot on the stove is steaming. You can tell without looking that there are only scattered corns and some rice bran in it.

This bowl of porridge is their daily ration.

After his brother passed away, his income was cut off, so he and his sister-in-law could only eat one meal a day.

Jiang Yan closed his eyes, finding it difficult to accept his new life.

Although he was not rich before time travel, he only suffered from mortgage and car loans. He had never been in such a situation that he was on the verge of starving to death.

Worse than surviving in the wilderness.

Fortunately, there is an independent well in the yard, where you can drink enough water.

"Sister-in-law...sister-in-law, I'm coming." Jiang Yan came to the yard and reached out to take the hatchet in Yu Huilan's hand.

Yu Huilan hid suddenly, hid the hatchet behind her back, and said worriedly: "Uncle, go back to the house and lie down quickly, you will feel better."

The plump figure was slightly rising and falling due to labor.

Jiang Yan stretched out his hand stubbornly, "I am a man, the backbone of this family, and I have to do what I should do."

Yu Huilan looked at his outstretched hand, then looked at his stubborn eyes, and moved her lips a few times.

Finally, she lowered her head and handed over the hatchet silently.

"You...be careful, don't use too much force."

The handle of the knife fell into Jiang Yan's hand, and the rough wood grain touched the palm of his hand. He took a deep breath and slashed with the knife.

The firewood was not split, but a data panel was split.

[Name: Jiang Yan]

[Strength: 3]

[Agility: 5]

[Spirit: 7]

[Constitution: 3]

[Martial Arts Realm: Strength Training Realm (0/1000)]

[Skills: Basic Sword Skills (Not Beginner: 1/100)]

There is something similar to a radar in the upper right corner, searching for something.

There is no sound prompt and no system wizard.

It just appeared suddenly.

Goldfinger!

Jiang Yan's breath suddenly suffocated, and his heart started beating wildly.

System panel!

At this moment, there was a banging sound outside the dilapidated courtyard door.

"Jiang Erniu! Open the door! Chief Zhao is here." A rough voice shouted.

Yu Huilan's face turned pale.

Jiang Yan subconsciously clenched the hatchet in his hand, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Here he comes."

He pulled the door latch, and there were two people standing outside the door.

The leader was a twenty-five or six-year-old man in black with triangular eyes and a hideous scar from his forehead across his left eye to the corner of his mouth, like a blood centipede crawling, making him look particularly vicious.

This is not a knife wound, but a claw wound from a demon.

He is the captain of the second team of the 9th Battalion of the Shantytown Night Watchmen, Zhao Dali.

I heard that he was born with supernatural powers and kicked his mother to death when he was born.

Behind him was a night watchman dressed in black with no hair on his head.

Zhao Dali's triangular eyes swept across the room, lingering on Yu Huilan's plump figure for a long time, tut-tutting, not hiding his greed.

After a long while, he turned his eyes to the short Jiang Yan and smiled: "Er Niu, your brother is gone, it's time to pay back the money he owed!"

He paused, glanced at the pale Yu Huilan again, and snorted coldly, "If you don't have money, just go and take care of Daniel!"

The original brother Jiang Daniu was the night watchman under Zhao Dali. In order to buy medicine for Jiang Erniu, he often borrowed money from his colleagues.

Jiang Yan glanced at his plump sister-in-law with a helpless face...

A feeling of anger rose from the bottom of Jiang Yan's heart.

Coming through time, with a golden finger, can I still live like an ant?

Jiang Yan suddenly raised his head and met Zhao Dali's gaze, "I'll take the blame!"

Zhao Dali didn't seem to expect this thin and timid young man to be so straightforward. He was stunned for a moment and then grinned, "Hey, boy, you have the guts!"

"Report to Jiuying tomorrow, hehe."

After saying that, he was greedy He glanced at Yu Huilan, shook his head, and muttered, "Ominous person, whoever falls in love will die..."

Jiang Daniu is also a man, but after picking up this woman...

He was very unlucky, and was eaten by the monster.

I heard that this woman killed two men in the city.

The courtyard door was closed again, and Yu Huilan walked quickly to Jiang Yan, her voice crying: "Uncle, you can't go..."

"Sister-in-law," Jiang Yan grabbed Yu Huilan's slightly rough hand, "If you don't go, there will be no way to survive."

He paused, looking at Yu Huilan's plump chest that was rising and falling due to rapid breathing, and slowed down Tone: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will be careful."

"At least... the night watchman gets two cakes a day and a monthly salary of three hundred coins."

He must go.

Not only for the food rations, but also because the night watchman is one of the few places in the shanty town where one can come into contact with martial arts.

Even the most superficial level is martial arts.

He has a proficiency panel, what a fright!

In this world, there is no force, and you are not even qualified to choose how to die.

Yu Huilan looked at the perseverance in his eyes that did not match her age, and tears rolled down her face. She lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly, and finally choked and said: "...Drink the porridge first."

Not a drop of the porridge that was so thin that you could see the bottom of the bowl was drank.

Even the last drop of thin rice soup at the bottom of the bowl was licked clean by Jiang Yan.

But the warmth in his stomach quickly disappeared and was filled with hunger again.

The sky is gradually getting dark.

Outside the wooden fence of the shantytown, the night watchman's banging bangs sounded like a bang, driving away evil spirits and demons that might approach.

An oil lamp was placed on the table. The wick was twisted very small, and the large flame barely illuminated a small area.

Yu Huilan silently put away the pottery bowl, glanced at Jiang Yan, who was silent, her lips moved, but she didn't say anything after all.
