Chen Kangtai seemed to be a bit impatient as he stopped and asked, "Sir Ying, is something the matter?"

Ying Dazhang saw that Chen Kangtai was actually treating him with such an abnormal attitude, he really wanted to smash his face that was smiling yet not smiling, but also seemed to be secretly pleased with himself. But now that he had a request for him, he could only silently resent him and put down his airs.

Chen Kangtai thought hard and sighed, "Sir Ying, how about we talk while we walk?"

Ying Dagang turned his head to look at Du Qi, Huang Da, and the others and knew that it would be difficult to achieve his wish today. Although he was unwilling, there was nothing he could do.

Without another word, Chen Kangtai slipped into the sedan chair. The bailiffs gave a shout and went off in a rush.

Almost all of the buildings in the Du Residence had been burned down, and the walls on the ground had collapsed. The entire area was charred black and no longer looked like before. Only a small stone hut, with a few handfuls of thatch covering the roof of the cave, stood alone in the northeast corner of the mansion.

The stone house was located in the north facing south. There were three rooms in total, and the room was completely empty. There was only one corner of the room on the east side where a straw mat was placed.

Yao Fugui was also sitting cross-legged across from Du Qi, his old face was filled with an extremely joyful expression. At this moment, he let out a breath, happily crying out, "Amazing, comfortable, this is great!"

Du Qi saw that Yao Fugui's eyes were beginning to shine brightly, unlike his usual gloomy and gloomy self. He couldn't help but feel happy for Yao Fugui, but reminded him, "Uncle, don't be too happy too early. You're only slightly sensing the Qi, so you'll have to wait a hundred days before you can find out about your achievements."

Puzzled, Yao Fugui asked, "Why is it only known a hundred days later?"

Du Qi said, "One hundred days of Foundation Establishment can only be completed within a hundred days. After a hundred days, even if one is able to complete Foundation Establishment, their future achievements will not be too great."

Yao Fugui dejectedly said, "I'm already at my age and I'm already weak. It looks like I won't be able to build a solid foundation in a hundred days. Since I don't have much success, what can I learn?"

Du Qi replied, "Uncle, don't be discouraged. I believe that you will definitely succeed. Even if you can't do it, you still have me to help you."

Yao Fugui asked curiously, "Even cultivation can help? Then why haven't you come to help me build my foundation? "

Du Qi said, "In order to train, it's best if you practice by yourself. Although relying on other people to take shortcuts can achieve your goal, there are still many drawbacks. As your cultivation grows stronger, it will slowly reveal itself."

Yao Fugui was surprised, "You can even feel pain while training? "Why did I feel so comfortable just now?"

Du Qi replied, "You just started practicing martial arts, so your qi is slightly weaker than the gentle breeze and drizzling rain. Of course, I feel extremely comfortable. When I built my foundation, my true qi was thousands of times more violent than the violent winds and torrential rain. That kind of feeling isn't hard to imagine."

Yao Fugui looked at Du Qi's frightened face and said with a pained heart, "Little Qi, the sun is almost at ten meters high, it's time for us to go out and take a walk."

Du Qi had nothing better to do than to follow Yao Fugui. Seeing that the street was bustling with people, a scene of prosperity, and he had no idea where to go or what to do, he couldn't help but ask, "Where are we going?"

Yao Fugui longingly said, "Old Cai's meat buns are pretty good, do you want to try them again?"

"But I don't have much money."

Yao Fugui could receive three beauties of rice in Taizhuang each month in the almshouse, and he could receive one word per year. Although it would prevent him from being too warm and full, he did not have any savings, so he sighed and said, "Seems like we can only go to my place to boil the porridge and drink?"

Dodge was about to answer when he saw a young man, who looked like a rich kid, grab a basket from a little girl's hands and throw it into the air with a light laugh. Then he charged forward and knocked the little girl to the ground, and suddenly the rain and the little girl's small figure came crashing down in a shower of cheers and wails.

The little girl was clearly a flower girl, and for some reason, she was' taken care 'of by this young master who was surrounded by servants. Du Qi saw the young master and the five or six servants standing behind him arrogantly, not caring about the feelings of others. Although there were a lot of people around, none of them blamed the young master or the little girl for helping.

Du Qi couldn't help but feel sympathy for the young master. Just as he was about to go up to argue with him, he saw the young master lead five or six erratic servants towards them. He couldn't help but suddenly think of something and cried out, "Uncle, come and chase me, hehe!" After he finished speaking, he purposely paused for a moment before sprinting forward. Evidently, he had stayed behind for a short period of time for Yao Fugui to make some preparations.

Yao Fugui had originally brought Du Qi out to let him relax and make him happy. Now that he saw Du Qi's high spirits, he couldn't help but feel joy in his heart. Who would've thought that there would be another plot?

Seeing Yao Fugui chasing after him, Du Qi let out another happy cry, cutting through the crowd. Just as he flashed out from behind one of the people, he crashed into that young master, spun around and slipped away, at the same time shouting, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

The young master was about to teach the newcomer a lesson when he was already long gone. He had no choice but to give up and shouted angrily, "Why are you little brats running around the streets? "You're courting death!"

Du Qi bypassed a few other people and came to the flower selling girl who was lying on the ground. He helped her up and patted the dust off of her body. He asked with concern: "Little sister, are you alright?"

The young lady raised her teary eyes and saw that the one who had helped her was a boy who was not much older than her, only slightly taller. The young lady raised her teary eyes, and saw that the one who had helped her was a boy who was not much older than her, but only a little taller than her.

Du Qi was speechless. He half supported the little girl and half pulled her to an alley beside him. The little girl suddenly called out in alarm, "You, what are you trying to do?"

Du Qi heard her words and relaxed a bit. However, he didn't let go and said, "Little sister, don't be afraid. I mean no harm. Can I have a word with you?"

The little girl said, "How much older are you? Since they are all little sisters, they should at least call me big sister. "Aiya, why are you so barbaric, grabbing him so hard, are you going to break his arm?"

As he spoke, he pulled the little girl into an alleyway where few people would come in or out. He then took out a money bag and handed it to the little girl. "Little sister, oh no, it's the eldest sister. This is for you, so don't tell anyone that I gave it to you."

The little girl looked at Dodge, then at the purse in his hand, and asked cautiously: "What do you mean? You want to bribe me? "

Only then did Yao Fugui run over, gasping for breath, asking puzzledly, "What's the matter?"

Du Qi ignored Yao Fugui's question and earnestly said to the little girl, "Eldest sister, do not worry too much, I have no other intentions. This is the little heart that just stole your basket, I hope Eldest sister can accept it and forgive that brat along the way."

Seeing the interest in Du Qi's words, the little girl happily accepted the purse, changed it and smiled: "Then I'll trouble you to tell that brat, I'll forgive him, and tell him not to take it to heart. Next time, don't provoke me, I'll just leave." After the little girl finished speaking, she ignored Yao Fugui standing at the side, waving the money pouch in her hand and skipped down the street. She had only taken a few steps before she turned to look at him. "What's your name?" she asked.

Du Qi thought for a moment and said, "My name is Du Qi."

The little girl tilted her head and said, "Don't you want to know his name? Why didn't you ask him?"

Du Qi had relied on a sudden burst of compassion to teach that rampant young master a lesson. He took advantage of the moment of the collision to take out his money pouch and compensate the little girl for her loss. He didn't want to know the little girl's name and origin, so he had no choice but to ask, "What is little sister's name, can you tell me?"

The little girl said, "Why are you calling me Little Sister again? They call me Gui Xiang, don't forget it! "

Du Qi said, "Good name! However, I feel that if I keep on calling you big sister or big sister, it would be a bit awkward. However, I feel that if I keep on calling you little sister, it would make me feel a bit more cordial.

A red cloud suddenly floated onto Gui Xiang's pretty face as she muttered, "Thank you, Big Brother Du Qi!" Before she could finish, she had already turned around and left.

Although Gui Xiang was only around ten years old, Yao Fugui was exceptionally adorable. Under his long eyelashes, a pair of pitch-black eyes sparkled on the two sides of his nose. On his round, jade-like face, he appeared flawless, just like a beauty. He looked at the faraway Gui Xiang and then looked at Du Qi. A trace of an ambiguous smile suddenly appeared on his face. He then sternly said, "Little Qi, there's something that I've always kept in my heart. Should I say it?"

Du Qi said, "Is there anything between us uncles that we can't say?"

Yao Fugui said, "If I say it out, you won't blame me, right?"

Du Qi laughed. "How could Xiao Qi blame your uncle? Please don't worry too much, your uncle.

Yao Fugui still had his doubts, "You really won't blame me if I say this?"

Seeing Yao Fugui's serious expression, Du Qi couldn't help but shiver as he muttered, "Does your uncle mean that I shouldn't have stolen that person's purse?"

Yao Fugui sighed, "Originally, what I wanted to say wasn't this matter. Since you said it yourself, does Little Qi think that doing this is the right thing to do or the wrong thing?"

Du Qi said, "I know what I'm doing is wrong, but I can't stand seeing that kid bully others, so I couldn't help but take action. But please rest assured, Uncle, that I will never do that again!"

Yao Fugui laughed, "Little Qi, your uncle doesn't have any intention of blaming you. He just wants you to understand that there are some things you can do and some things you absolutely cannot do. "But your hands and feet are pretty fast, even faster than those professional pickpockets. I've been staring at you, but I didn't notice it."

Du Qi said, "Please don't say anymore, Uncle? I already know I was wrong. "

Yao Fugui sternly replied, "Little Qi, regardless of whether what you want to do is good or bad, as long as the result is beneficial, you can be at ease and do it boldly. Your Uncle will always support you!"

Du Qi asked in surprise, "Could it be that your uncle wants me to steal someone else's purse?"

Yao Fugui laughed, "If that person is a scoundrel who does all sorts of evil deeds, or a rich and merciless nouveau riche, what's wrong with punishing them?"

"But how do I know who these people are?"

Yao Fugui said, "That's why I'm here to observe."

Du Qi said, "I understand. Any person that your esteemed uncle has your eyes on, I can go steal their money. Otherwise, I can't, right?"

Yao Fugui laughed dryly, "That's not exactly what I meant. I just wanted to remind you to be more careful, so you wouldn't be unable to differentiate good from bad."

Du Qi smiled, "I know what to do. What was your uncle preparing to say just now?"

Yao Fugui hesitated for a moment before saying with everything he had, "All that money and land has been taken away by you, and now even eating has become a problem. I don't understand why you don't leave any more money for yourself."

Half a month ago, as soon as he was released from prison, he set about dealing with the aftermath of the disaster. Fortunately, with the help of Huang Da, his officers, a hundred soldiers, and many enthusiastic people, and the understanding of the family members of his servants and servants, he was able to secure the burial of all the dead the day before yesterday.

During this period of time, Xiang Qingshan did not come back to make trouble, and Chang Xiaowu also returned to the city to revitalize the 'Mountain River Gang'. Their momentum was much stronger than before. Ying Dagang was dismissed and transferred to another place, but Guo Qinggong was sentenced to prison for his crimes. However, he refused to bow down before Luo, knocked down the Jinyi Guards and several constables, and left with Luo Changhe. In a fit of anger, Chen reported to his superiors and issued a maritime arrest warrant. Yesterday, he ordered Huang Da to lead 11 constables to chase down Guo Qinggong and Luo Changhe.

He had refused the assistance of his family and friends, and had refused the arrangements for Chen Prefect to let him into the orphanage. Now, however, he was abnormally embarrassed, but he did not care at all, and after hearing Yao Fugui's words, he casually replied, "So it was this. I thought it was some shameful matter." He then wrapped his arm around Yao Fugui's shoulder and said sorrowfully, "Your Uncle think about it, my servants have died innocently, their families will definitely be in despair, and their lives will be in despair. How can a small amount of money pacify their family's wounded souls, compensate for the loss of their lives? What's more, I have left behind a garden and a mountain area, which has already caused me to feel deeply uneasy. Your Uncle, please don't blame me anymore, okay? "

Yao Fugui was deeply moved, "Little Qi, your heart is too kind. Fine, I will support you in this matter! I just don't know how we're going to survive. "
