Chapter 4: Hungry Tiger Martial Arts School
Qu She Alley.
The alley twisted and turned with nine curves and eighteen bends, housing hundreds of families in a cramped space.
Every morning, an old man would push his night soil cart here, leaving behind a scent that pervaded the entire alley and lingered for a long time.
Jiang Shu had been living here for over two months now and had grown accustomed to it all. With a calm expression and holding his breath slightly, he briskly walked out.
This place was located at the southernmost part of the outer city of Pingling County and was under the control of the Green Snake Gang. Anyone from the alley who wanted to go to the county town to set up a stall or work had to pay fifty Copper Coins to the Green Snake Gang each month.
For the lowest class of people, whose monthly wages were only about one or two hundred Copper Coins, handing over fifty Copper Coins was like being sliced with a blunt knife. It wasn’t lethal, but the bleeding was incessant.
Yet, no one dared to resist.
Because the leader of the Green Snake Gang was a true Martial Artist!
A Martial Artist of the Skin Grinding Realm!
