Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 290: Getting Rich by Catching Criminals

Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Getting Rich by Catching Criminals

A few days before the guests attend the forest protection patrol knowledge training, Tuanzi is still at home studying, while teaching Duan Xiayou to experience various aspects of modern life.

Smart people learn everything quickly.

After Duan Xiayou learned to surf the internet, he absorbed a ton of modern knowledge like a sponge soaking up water.

Although he didn’t quite understand many things, he was lazy, as long as he knew, it was fine, he didn’t plan to explore further to understand them.

He wasn’t surprised to discover that traditional martial arts were gradually declining.

"With so many amazing things in modern times, you can easily entertain yourself and earn money in other ways, there’s no need to train hard in martial arts from a young age."

In ancient times, martial arts were popular not only because of the many martial sects, but also because those who practiced martial arts could use their skills to find jobs. Working for a security bureau to escort goods or being hired as a bodyguard by rich families were both good choices. If one couldn’t read and take the civil service exam, practicing martial arts became another path.

Moreover, in ancient times, to protect one’s family and country, martial arts were necessary. But in modern times, with so many heat weapons, even if martial arts are practiced, what is learnt are the refined and efficient techniques.

Duan Xiayou glanced at Tuanzi and suddenly said, "Are you participating in so many shows to promote traditional martial arts?"

Tuanzi was startled, her eyes started to wander.

"Protecting tradition," Duan Xiayou patted her little head, "Good kid."

"Of course!" Tuanzi proudly puffed out her chest immediately.

She sneaked another glance at Duan Xiayou, "Senior brother, would you be willing to help?"

"Of course."

Duan Xiayou: "I have nothing else to do anyway."

Even if others don’t mention it, he knows he’s in a confused state.

Betrayed by family, completely leaving his original world, coming to this strange world. Not seeing his master, only having just met his junior sister.

What should he do, what can he do, and should he do it?

No answers. So he simply took his junior sister’s goal as his own, tried walking on, maybe one day he’d find what he wanted to do.

This time it was Tuanzi’s turn to rub his head.

"You messed up my hair."

Duan Xiayou’s build was comparable to Gu Cheng, and he had been wearing Gu Cheng’s clothes these past few days.

Wearing modern clothes, he was lazy about grooming his hair, so these days it was unkempt.

"Senior brother," Tuanzi pretended not to hear and continued to rub his head, "Do you want a haircut? You’re so lazy, it’s quite a hassle to wash long hair every time, isn’t it?"

Now Duan Xiayou has two choices, wear traditional clothes with long hair. Nowadays, people wearing traditional outfits roaming outside aren’t uncommon, even Tuanzi occasionally does that. Or he could wear modern clothes with short hair.

It’s not that wearing modern clothes one can’t keep long hair, but Duan Xiayou is genuinely lazy, comparable to the little friend Wu Yu whom Tuanzi knows.

Duan Xiayou yawned, "Cut, where to cut."

Being in the modern times already, he was trying to change his previous views.

"Hehe~"

Tuanzi immediately pulled out a big pair of scissors, "I’ll cut it for you, no need to thank me!"

The next second, the person lying on the sofa disappeared.

Tuanzi scanned around, finally looked up slowly, only to see her senior brother half-closing his eyes, preparing to sleep on the chandelier.

"Alright, alright, let’s find a hairdresser to cut your hair, and then go to the mall to buy clothes, how does that sound?"

Only then did Duan Xiayou lightly land on the ground.

No one sent them out this time.

Gu Peihai and her second brother were as busy as always, Gu Mo was engrossed in his research, Gu Chi went off to a painting exhibition, and Gu Qize and his brother didn’t live in Jiangcheng at all, although Gu Yunmu said he was persuading Gu Qize to come back often, and if they could move headquarters to Jiangcheng, that’d be even better.

As for Si Huai, Tuanzi hadn’t seen him during Chinese New Year, let alone now.

"Big brother seems to be helping contact program guests."

Tuanzi pointed towards the direction of the study.

The show she talked about was a live broadcast program, "Mountain Patrol Journey," where several forestry bureaus teamed up, inviting guests and forest protectors to patrol the mountains, protecting wild flora and fauna.

The Forestry Bureau saw the boom of live broadcasting but wasn’t quite sure how to operate it. However, they found Director Chen from the later episodes of "Go on an Adventure Together."

After Director Li left, Director Chen learned from his predecessor’s lessons, taking care of both the audience’s feelings and the guests’, most importantly, he could ensure the guests’ safety during outdoor shooting without damaging the local vegetation.

This is exactly the kind of talent the Forestry Bureau wanted.

The director team was ready, next were the guests.

Like "Let’s Transform Together," "Mountain Patrol Journey" has a stronger public welfare nature, the appearance fee for guests is lower, with certain dangers, and most importantly, patrolling the mountains every day would be very, very tiring.

A live reality show of unknown popularity and hard work, attracting few participants, even if it’s somewhat beneficial publicity-wise to create one’s image.

Similarly to "Let’s Transform Together," if the guests invited have no heat at all, it can’t bring income for forest protection purposes and won’t serve as publicity, so the forestry bureau people found this trip unnecessary.

Gu Cheng was willing to help connect the bridge on the condition of allowing Duan Xiayou to join the show as a temporary worker, in charge of security.

To that end, Gu Cheng also recorded a video of Duan Xiayou and sent it to a few heads of the forestry bureau.

Seeing Duan Xiayou smoothly climbing trees, breaking bricks with bare hands, and skating across the artificial lake in the community, they unhesitatingly agreed.

Patrolling mountains could also encounter many dangers, plus most guests didn’t have the power to protect themselves, bodyguards like him, who could single-handedly tackle a few bandits, were more than welcome.

Without disturbing the still-busy Gu Cheng, Tuanzi led Duan Xiayou out of the community, hailed a cab to the nearest mall, got a haircut first, and headed straight to the men’s clothing store.

"Alright, pick whatever you want, my treat."

Tuanzi boldly patted her chest, "The reward money for catching bad guys hasn’t been spent yet."

Her money, apart from buying gifts for her brothers and elders, was all saved up.

"Reward money?" Duan Xiayou was puzzled.

Tuanzi explained in detail.

"There are fugitives that haven’t been caught, so the police reward enthusiastic citizens who provide critical clues, like Miaomiao!"

Duan Xiayou pulled out his phone and checked the latest fugitive list. After thinking about it, he specially checked the local list for Jiangcheng.

Tuanzi saw through his thoughts in a glance.

"You also want to make a fortune this way?"

Tuanzi rubbed her face, saying triumphantly, "There’s no such coincidental thing, it depends on luck."

Duan Xiayou agreed with this idea, "Indeed, it depends on luck."

He put away his phone and entered the store, casually choosing a few items.

Born in a Marquis Mansion, naturally refined, but later when targeted, the quality of life plummeted, and later as he was chased, he no longer cared about these external things at all.

As long as there’s something to wear and eat, quality doesn’t matter.

Duan Xiayou was quite casual, so the shopping went quickly.

After buying a few sets of changeable clothes and sneakers, they planned to head back.

Tuanzi ran to the food court, dawdling and not wanting to leave, casting big longing eyes at a dessert shop several times.

"Want to eat?"

Tuanzi immediately nodded, "I want to, but senior brother, can we not tell big brother?"

Tuanzi: (✪ω✪)

Duan Xiayou already understood, this expression was to act cute. Yet somehow, he found it quite adorable.

Before he could say anything, a commotion came from not far away, the pair looked over and saw a drunk man wielding a knife, swinging at a fashionably dressed young woman.

"Tell me, why did you break up with me? Why?"

The woman was terrified, even though the bystanders wanted to help, seeing the knife had them feeling apprehensive.

Someone went to call security, but they hadn’t arrived yet.

Tuanzi was about to step in, but her side was empty, she immediately turned her head and found the matter had been resolved.

The drunk man’s knife was seized, and he was pinned to the ground.

Tuanzi: (○o○)
