Chapter 81 Reward
Chapter 81 Reward
Gongliang City, built a martial arts hall!
"Big Brother, Zhou You and Li Hao are back."
Lu Qiang stood in front of a piece of cowhide, channeling his energy and blood into his fists, and faint tiger patterns coiled around his arms and meandered up.
This piece of cowhide is two fingers thick and has been painted with seven layers of lacquer. After drying, it becomes very hard and even the sharpest knife cannot leave any white marks when cut.
Generally speaking, the leather armor worn by soldiers would not be made of better materials than this.
The eldest brother threw a punch that pierced the cowhide surface easily, as smooth and silky as a soldering iron burning through a candle.
The entire piece of cowhide was hanging in the same place without moving at all, and a hole as big as a fist appeared in the middle.
"not bad!"
Lu Qiang looked at the marks left by the fist and nodded with satisfaction.
He turned and walked out of the martial arts training ground, nodding to the apprentice who came to report the news, "Lead the way."
Outer Courtyard...
Zhou You and Li Hao were sitting on the steps drinking hot soup, which was a blood clot soup with salt and a layer of pepper floating on the surface.
He drank the soup in big gulps, the heat rose from his throat to the top of his head, and sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Big Brother! Big Brother!"
Seeing Lu Qiang coming out, the two of them hurriedly stood up and greeted him.
Lu Qiang looked at the two of them and said, "Well, they are OK. They came back intact without any missing limbs."
Except for Li Hao's slightly pale complexion, Zhou You was in good spirits. He was a little thinner than before, but more energetic.
To put it in an analogy, it is like a block of iron being quenched in a furnace, which removes a lot of impurities.
"How's it going? What did you do in the past forty days?"
Lu Qian thought that it was just killing someone, and it had taken all these days, so young people still had no experience.
Those hunters were blinded by money and became bolder, and they even dared to raise the price.
His intention was to kill the leader, Boss Pan, to intimidate the other hunters. After all, he would need this bunch of scum to supply tigers in the future.
Because of the shortage of manpower, Zhou You and Li Hao were sent, both of whom were novices.
Both apprentices had seen blood and had taken several lives, so they didn't expect it would take more than a month to complete the task.
"Big Brother, Boss Pan has more than a hundred men running around the mountain. It took some time."
Zhou You explained, "Boss Pan's head is outside, and there are too many bodies left to bring back."
As Lu Qiang listened, he suddenly realized what was happening and asked loudly, "What? You killed all the hunters?"
"Big Brother, didn't you say..."
Zhou You slashed his palm towards his neck, "...Kill them all!"
Veins popped out on Lu Qiang's forehead. There were more than a hundred hunters, and these two guys were all killed?
If all the hunters are killed, who will help them hunt tigers and supply them with tiger products?
Another apprentice handed over a head pickled in lime, a head with its eyes open.
Lu Qiang had met Boss Pan several times and was familiar with his appearance, so he confirmed that it was undoubtedly him.
"Big Brother, the people from the manor outside the city have gone to see it."
An apprentice looked at Zhou You and Li Hao with a look of fear and horror.
"There are corpses everywhere in the area around the mountain temple. Wild dogs and ferocious beasts are so hungry that they can't be driven away."
"Boss Pan and his gang were all killed. Not a single one escaped alive."
Lu Qiang's eyelids jumped when he heard this, and he suddenly laughed out loud, "Good boy, well done."
Zhou You drank the blood clot soup happily and bowed, "Big Brother, we have something to honor the owner."
"Wait first!"
Lu Qiang flew into the inner courtyard and reported the situation to his master in a few words.
"You mean those two guys were so ruthless that they slaughtered Boss Pan and his gang?"
Old man Wang Jianxiong was smoking, and a concubine squatted on the ground, holding an oil lamp and a pipe to serve him. Wang Yan, who was listening while eating a box of candied fruit, frowned and kept inhaling because of the sour taste.
"Master, although Boss Pan is a worthless person, the hunters provide a stable supply. Now we need to find someone to fill the gap."
Young people are too careless in doing things. They kill without any hesitation and leave no room for mercy.
"Is it hard to find people who are willing to risk their lives? There are many refugees in and outside the city who can't afford to eat. They wish someone would give them a chance to survive."
Mr. Wang reminded him, "After this incident, no one will dare to bargain with me, right?"
Indeed, the news of the Hunter's demise spread far and wide, and the ruthlessness of Jianxiong Martial Arts School shocked many people.
"How did I, Wang Lao Hu, become famous? It wasn't because of the favor of my peers or the flattery of outsiders, but because I dared to fight and kill, and I had a hard heart."
"Now that I am old, I rely on you, my disciples."
"The Jianxiong Martial Arts School's reputation is ruined. Not only will everyone be left without food, they may even lose their lives."
"Zhou You and Li Hao are indeed my, Wang Jianxiong's, sons and grandsons."
Wang Jianxiong inhaled the cigarette in one breath and exhaled, "Tell them to come in."
A moment later, Zhou You and Li Hao stood in front of Wang Jianxiong.
Zhou You glanced at her from the corner of his eye and saw Miss Wang Yan looking at him with a smile, seeming to be full of interest.
Without saying a word, he took out two things and presented them.
"Master, these two strings of tiger teeth and seven or eight gourds were all obtained from the mountains. I present them to you as a gift."
The tiger fangs were searched out from hunters. Each one was as thick as a finger, and there was not a single flaw on the surface.
It should be noted that the living environment of tigers is harsh, and it is difficult to pick out a complete and beautiful tooth from their mouths.
This group of hunters made a living by hunting tigers. Thanks to the unique environment, they were able to accumulate two strings of tiger fangs.
According to folk customs, tigers can ward off evil spirits, and tiger teeth are also a commonly used decorative material.
The point is, the old man's nickname is Wang Lao Hu, and two strings of tiger teeth are just what he likes.
"Okay, the food is good, Yan'er, you can take one too."
Wang Jianxiong was very satisfied with Huya, but what was even more difficult was Zhou You's consideration for him.
Wang Yan stepped forward to take away the fang, and inadvertently, her fingertips brushed across the back of Zhou You's hand.
Intentional or unintentional?
Zhou You had heard about this young lady, and several of his fellow brothers in the inner courtyard were pursuing her.
Among them, Zhong Shaoying had the strongest intention, and both the inner and outer courts had heard about it.
The museum owner has no son, so this business will definitely be passed down in the future, but who will be the heir has not yet been determined.
Being an apprentice is not enough, what if I add the identity of son-in-law?
As the saying goes, a son-in-law is half a son, and marrying the eldest daughter can legitimately inherit the family business.
I heard that the eldest daughter is also very good at tea art, and she is dealing with several fellow apprentices, but there is still no definite answer.
Zhou You was not naive enough to think that he would have a chance just by being noticed.
"gourd!"
Several withered gourds were also carefully selected. They had no scars from bird pecking and their surfaces were as smooth as a mirror. A section of gourd vine shaped like a dragon head was retained. There was an indescribable sense of comfort when playing with them in the palm of my hand.
This child is really motivated!
Wang Jianxiong's mind was as clear as a mirror, and he knew that the two gifts must have come from Zhou You.
He fiddled with the gourds one by one and was reluctant to let go once he got the hang of them.
The wild gourds in the mountains are small, delicate and graceful. Unlike the water hyacinths grown by farmers, they are suitable for playing with and twisting.
"You have done a good job on this mission. I will reward you with a Shanjun Life-changing Pill."
Hearing this, Lu Qiang's body was shocked. He knew that his master was very satisfied and was in a good mood.
Zhou You and his companions killed all the hunters, and their style was very much to Wang Jianxiong's liking.
