Chapter 7

This time, it was a whole night.

The sourness of this night was only best known to Zhou An.

Upsetting the pot was a very boring process, repeating the movements all the time.

The only positive feedback he was given was the ever-growing proficiency.

But if it was long, it would still feel boring.

Zhou An finally knew what the loneliness depicted in novels felt like.

He was feeling this way right now.

It was boring.

There was a bit of comfort in the dullness.

Painful and happy.

Coupled with the soreness of his arms, the tingling after the flow of air through his arms, over and over again, he actually made it through this night.

The hard work was not in vain, Zhou An looked at the words in front of him and felt a wave of relief.

[Upside Down Pot lv.2 (Strength +1): 1358/20000]

Reaching the pinnacle after Level 2, he gained the attribute of Strength +1, and this Strength +1, similar to the Blade Skill, was also only for the use of the Upside Down Pot.

Zhou An grabbed the handle of the iron pot and shook it with force.

Fierce air currents covered the iron pot, and with this shaking, it unexpectedly emitted the sound of gold and iron clanking together.

The air inside the iron pot began to twist and clash fiercely, crackling.

Zhou An tried, putting the dish he used yesterday in it, with a swing of his left hand.

The dish inside the pot turned into powder and didn’t even last a second.

Zhou An: “……”

What kind of sick game did I design in the first place?

As the old saying goes, you can’t judge a man by his appearance, and you can’t measure the sea by its depth.

Don’t look at the name Upside Down Pot as being rather vulgar, but when he really used it, he felt that if he grabbed someone and threw them in, he would be able to upend them to the point where their bones and flesh melted away.

“It’s not a waste of my night’s hard work.”

Zhou An put down the iron pot and stretched his back, looking at the sunlight shining in from outside.

“Order!”

The extra vegetables bought yesterday had already been finished by the upside down pot, after Zhou An went out, he casually found a roadside stall, ate some breakfast, dealt with it, and then rushed towards the Yamen again.

Today, he should be the one to patrol the streets.

After Zhou An nodded at the Yamen, he straddled his longsword and headed to the streets of Anding County.

When patrolling the streets, every constable had a fixed area.

The one Zhou An was assigned to this time was an ordinary street, which was only ten or so alleys, not very big.

Walking on the street, a long knife was attached to his waist.

Zhou An did not say a single word.

All he could think about now was upending pots and chopping vegetables.

Patrolling the streets was very boring, and some constables patrolling the streets would incidentally fish for a hand.

The so-called fishing for a hand, is in the street vendors casually pass something, may pass a three melon two jujube, may also pass some other small objects.

The vendors are not surprised by this.

These days, that’s just the way it is.

Back and forth so walk, Zhou An has been cruising to lunch time, because of the way to sit on the street side of the soybean flower rice stall, called on a bowl of spicy tofu brain.

Tofu brain this kind of thing, some people like to eat savory, some people like to eat sweet.

But the Anding County specialty of bean flower rice has to be spicy.

A bowl of white beanflakes with a unique serving of chili peppers, renewed with a bowl of white rice.

Comfortable.

Zhou An had a great meal, and after settling the bill, it was only then that he slowly continued to patrol the streets.

This weather was crisp and clear in the fall, and walking around after a meal was also good for digestion.

Thinking that nothing was going to happen today, Zhou An was still thinking about continuing his Liver Blade Skill at night when a loud sound suddenly interrupted Zhou An’s thinking.

At this time, Zhou An was walking in a remote alley.

There was a clear sound coming from the front, and when he looked along where the sound came from, he saw a little girl dressed in rags falling to the ground at the end of the street.

The little girl was dressed in rags, and after she fell, her eyes held tears, but they didn’t flow down, they were swirling inside her eyes.

Her knees were scuffed and broken because of the fall.

Zhou An was about to go over and inquire about it when the little girl got up from the ground with a strong face.

“It doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt, blow on it and it won’t hurt anymore.”

The little girl exhaled softly, her hands covered in bloodstains from her fall.

After blowing for a while, the little girl then wiped her tears with the back of her hand and walked towards the outside of the alley.

She had a small pouch hanging from her waist, and inside the pouch was the sound of tinkling copper coins ringing.

“It’s not too safe for such a small girl to carry money outside.” Zhou An thought and followed behind.

After the little girl exited the alley, she jogged all the way to the street outside.

On the street, there were noisy vendors and people one after another.

The little girl, dressed in rags, stood there in stark contrast.

She tightly covered the small bag around her waist. Trotting, she came to a pork store.

The butcher store’s stall was as tall as the little girl, who pawed her feet and used her small hands to pick at the edge of the butcher store, pointing at a piece of meat.

“Uncle uncle, cut me a little piece, just that one.”

The little girl let go of her hand, looked down and rummaged around in her little bag for three pennies, and laboriously laid it out on the meat stall.

The surroundings were still noisy, and the butcher store owner seemed to not see it, slicing his own meat.

The little girl looked left and right, full of confusion, and raised the three pennies on the table, “Uncle, I’m buying meat, my father has gotten a little better lately, I’ll cook a little bit of meat soup for him.”

The pork boss still did not answer.

Seeing this scene, Zhou An frowned slightly.

This situation was a bit off.

Even if it was only three cents, the Pork Boss wouldn’t pretend that he hadn’t seen it, right?

Thinking about this, he was about to step forward.

Just at this time, a pedestrian walked past the pork stall and happened to pass through the little girl.

Passed through, completely passed through.

The little girl was like a puff of smoke, being passed through with ease.

Zhou An froze and stopped in his tracks, the scene in front of him was quite bizarre.

The little girl seemed to have noticed as well, blankly looking at the crowd that had passed through, and then looking down at the copper coins in her hand.

A stain of blood surfaced on the coin, gradually soaking in, coloring the entire coin all red.

The little girl squatted down, her hands clasped her knees, clutching the copper coin in death, tears rolling in her eyes.

“YaYa died …… YaYa died ……”

She kept repeating, her body getting fainter and fainter, and her eyes gradually dulled until she disappeared.

This scene could only be seen by Zhou An, and the people around her were oblivious, continuing to do their own things.

There was a flurry of Qi flow within his body.

Zhou An recovered and felt the airflow in his body, he suddenly felt that since he had this airflow, he seemed to be very different from ordinary people.

That scene just now, it was the reason for the airflow in his body that made him see the little girl.

“Perhaps seeing the aunt that day was also because of this reason.” Zhou An thought.

This qi flow, he hadn’t been able to figure it out until now.

As long as he used a knife or a pot, it would flow naturally.

“Perhaps later, something can be discovered.” Zhou An suppressed the thoughts for the time being.

Just as he was thinking about these things, a man’s cry came from the alley he had just walked through.
