Chapter 248 Inner City Life
"Mr. Zhou, have you moved in? Let me lend a hand. Give me the old man's things."

A man came towards them, bowed and nodded, and came forward enthusiastically to help Old Man Zhou carry things.

Zhou You took a look and saw that it was that person, Constable Liu.

What a coincidence, we are acquaintances!
Constable Liu called over several of his colleagues, and they rushed to take the large and small bags. In the blink of an eye, the family of three was left with nothing.

Tie Niu was sulking beside them and said, "You guys do all the work, what should I do?"
On the way, my parents talked with Constable Liu and learned that due to the deteriorating public security in the city and the serious shortage of manpower, they simply gave up the outer city and transferred most of the constables to the inner city.

When Constable Liu talked to Old Man Zhou, he was three parts cautious, three parts respectful, three parts flattering, and the remaining one part was just reminiscing about the past. He knew that Zhou You was no longer the same as before.

I heard that after Zhou You left the martial arts hall, instead of becoming depressed, he established a relationship with the city gate guards.

Now they have even moved into the inner city, which is a symbol of upper-class status.

We arrived at the place quickly.

"Well, did we go the wrong way?"

Old Man Zhou narrowed his eyes, looked at the spacious courtyard front, and stopped hesitantly.

Just looking at the area of ​​the gatehouse on the side, it is bigger and more spacious than the house they originally rented.

The tall and thick wall, built with a large amount of blue bricks and lime, looks very safe and reliable.

"What's wrong?"

Zhou You took out the door key and inserted it into the copper lock, opening it with a click. "Come in now."

The address is correct, the key is right, this is the house...

Ok?
The family of three stood in the vast courtyard, with Tie Niu following behind them.

Mother almost fainted. How long would it take her to clean such a big place?

There are big trees and flower beds in the yard. When autumn comes, the leaves fall everywhere. The scenery is beautiful, but it is so tiring to clean up!

"Dad, you should take the key ring back. We can't afford to live in a place like this."

My mother was also shocked. The most spectacular building she had ever seen in her life was the city wall. In her opinion, this house, like the spectacular city wall, did not belong to ordinary people like the Zhou family.

"Mom, we should take care of as much space as possible in the place we live in. Don't tire yourself out."

"Don't we have Tieniu to help?"

Zhou You was very satisfied with the place and made a gesture to Tie Niu, who nodded solemnly.

Old Man Zhou recovered from his shock and began to run around to check inside and outside.

"Damn, there's a well in the yard. We don't have to queue up to get water anymore."

"Hey, there's another ornamental stone here, at least 300 kilograms, how much would it cost to transport it in, wow."

"Look, there's even a barn in the backyard. They're truly a wealthy family."

"The kitchen is very big and the chimney is thick. You won't be afraid of being choked by smoke when you cook in the future."

The voice of Old Man Zhou shouting and yelling came from every corner.

Mr. Shen even hired someone to clean the place and level the ground, leaving not a single weed in the gaps.

The paint on the doors and windows is as smooth as new, and there is no trace of cobwebs in the corners.

The firewood pile in the back kitchen reached nearly the roof, and the cupboards and rice jars were filled with all kinds of food and daily necessities.

"Dad, Mom, you have to adapt to it in the future."

Zhou You solemnly said to them, "Our life is getting better and better, so we can only move to a bigger house."

"It's not okay to not be used to living in a big house. You have to actively adjust your mindset."

After living in the new house for more than half a month, the old couple realized that the Zhou family now had their own house and was no longer homeless and had to rent cheap homes everywhere.

My son is right, things will only get better.

The inner city is less than one-tenth the size of Gongliang City, and the population living in it is less than 10,000, which is about one percent of the total population of Gongliang City. This also results in a lot of space in the inner city.

The two great families that controlled Gonggongliang City were located in the inner city. Well, in essence, the inner city was built for them.

The leaders of the city’s guilds and the owners of various martial arts schools all have properties in the inner city.

After Zhou You moved in, he walked around for a few days and got a general understanding of the surrounding environment.

The Shen family’s house is just three blocks away, and you can get there in less than half a day by walking.

Well, Wang Jianxiong’s property is 5 blocks away from here. I heard that it is being renovated recently in preparation for his daughter’s wedding with Lu Jianqing.

Once a disaster occurs in the outer city, these leading figures can move to the inner city with their families to avoid the storm.

As for the remaining people in the city, they can only endure the hardships and seek a chance to survive.

“Hoohoo, boom boom!”

In the courtyard, Zuo Twelve was sweating all over. He swung his fists vigorously, one doing a tiger claw forward move and the other doing a tiger tail scissors move.

His foundation was in the Two Hearts Fist, and he was very skilled in the technique of splitting his mind and doing two things at once, but his Tiger Form Fist was slightly lacking in power.

Even so, when attacking from both sides, the power is doubled, and enemies of the same level are no match.

Zhou You stood beside him, instructing him on how to optimize and improve each move.

What he taught Zuo Twelve was the finalized version of the Double-Body Tiger Form Fist, not the Tiger-Crane Double-Line Fist.

With Zuo Twelve's aptitude, it was difficult for him to digest the Double-Body Tiger Fist, let alone the more complicated and exquisite Tiger-Crane Double-Line Fist.

"Not bad, Qi and blood are at level 2."

Zuo Twelve has mediocre talent. He managed to survive the destruction of the Two Hearts Fist, but his strength has remained stagnant for a long time without any progress.

It was not until Zhou You taught him the Double-Body Tiger Fist, which combined the advantages of both boxing techniques, that he made a breakthrough.

Zuo Twelve finished a set of punches and bowed to Zhou You, "Brother Zhou, I am grateful for your kindness."

His fate now is tied to traveling around.

When the martial arts school split, Zuo Twelve firmly stood on Zhou You's side, which offended Wang Jianxiong and Lu Jianqing.

Jianxiong Martial Arts School no longer protects him, and he may be killed by Bao Tiefeng at any time.

He had been hiding from place to place for some time, but he never expected that Zhou You would invite him to the inner city and give him careful instructions on how to practice boxing.

"My place is big enough and spacious, which is convenient for daily boxing and martial arts practice."

Zhou You pointed to a guest room and said, "Pack your things and move in. Help me take care of the house and that will pay for the rent."

There was no time for Zuo Twelve to refuse. "Go back and pack now and move in before dark."

Zuo Twelve felt somewhat touched; moving into the inner city meant a lot to him.

Bao Tiefeng is still active in the outer city, and even if he has money, he cannot buy a property in the inner city.

After he moved into the inner city, no matter how powerful Bao Tiefeng was, he could no longer pose a threat to him.

Zhou You watched him leave the background and breathed a sigh of relief. Although Zuo Twelve was at the bottom of the Qi and Blood Stage, he was still a useful person.

Father and Mother Zhou now each have two amulets, one from Zhang Huaimin, and the other three were looted from Jinhe Mountain.

After Zhou You returned to Gongliang City, he found an excuse and handed the amulet to his parents.

His parents thought that their son had prayed for it in some unknown temple, and out of their sincere piety and filial piety, they agreed to keep the ornament hanging on their body.

He also invited Zuo Twelve, a qi and blood warrior, and Tie Niu, a powerful bodyguard, to live in his home.

With such careful arrangements, there is no need to worry too much about the safety of my parents.

When traveling, many things are inconvenient to do at home, and you need to go out frequently. During the time when you are out, you have to worry about your parents' safety. After all, this world is not peaceful.
