Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 10 Ask your wife to send it over

For Zhou Zhizhong, his family spent a lot of connections and gave away hundreds of silver coins to barely get him into martial arts. In return, he only got a wooden martial arts badge of the lowest status. Moreover, if Zhou Zhizhong did not perform well, this thing could be taken back at any time.

However, the fine iron martial arts badge in Gong Tianwu's hand represents the status of a regular martial arts student, which is equivalent to a reserve cadre of the country.

Even the great martial arts masters in the martial arts school must have a reasonable excuse to fire him, not to mention that this badge was handed to him personally by Master Luo, who is at the peak of his power in the martial arts school. The meaning behind this can be imagined.

Although Zhao Zi already has the identity of a country boy, why did she run to this remote place to make medicine?
It was because he had offended a martial arts instructor, so he had to use the Qi-enhancing pills he had refined to please the other party and repair the relationship.

After all, there are two or three hundred students in the county martial arts school, and they are usually taught and managed one by one by coaches like Xie San.

The martial arts masters will only teach a few talented students personally, and then take out three days every month to supervise, check and answer questions for the rest of the students. Ordinary students can only come into contact with the martial arts masters by waiting for the big classes, or by being lucky enough to catch his favor.

For Zhao Zi, offending a coach was already exhausting and difficult. If he offended a celebrity like Master Luo Wu again, it would be a devastating thing to think about.

After all, competition is everywhere in martial arts, and Zhao Zi has many competitors. From the medicines for cleansing tendons and meridians allocated every month, to the advantages and disadvantages of the living place, and even the places in the provincial examination (martial arts), all of them need to be fought for. It is like rowing against the current, if you don't move forward, you will fall behind.

Thinking about the pressure from his family and his own efforts over the years, Zhao Zi's face suddenly became gloomy.

When he saw Gong Tianwu in front of him, who was beaten black and blue but still smiling, his heart tightened again.

Just when he was in a dilemma, Zhao Zi looked up and saw the He brothers who felt something was wrong and were about to run away secretly. He snorted coldly and said:

"You good thief, you injured and robbed people in broad daylight, and now you want to resist arrest and escape?"

Suddenly, Zhao Zi's figure flashed and he quickly chased after the two of them.

He Ming and He Lao Er were caught up after running for only a dozen steps. He was about to beg for mercy, but he didn't expect Zhao Zi to cut his throat with one palm!

There was a creepy sound of throat bones breaking, and He Laoer fell to the ground twitching, holding his throat in pain. But Zhao Zi kicked him in the back of the head, and his burly body shook violently and then collapsed completely.

Every move is deadly!!
He Da could hardly believe his eyes when his own brother was killed in front of him. In his grief and anger, he didn't say anything else and hit Zhao Zi head-on with his stick.

But Zhao Zi did not dodge, but took the attack with his shoulder. Then when He Da raised the stick to change his move again, he raised his left hand slightly, and the mechanism in his sleeve made a light "hiss" sound, and immediately a sleeve arrow was seen nailed to He Da's throat.

He Da's eyes suddenly widened, and all the strength in his body seemed to be drained away in an instant, and he slowly fell limp.

At this dying moment, he suddenly understood why Zhao Zi insisted on taking the hit:
"You want to leave scars to prove that we resisted arrest."

Gong Tianwu, who witnessed all this, had a blank expression on his face. He was of course extremely shocked in his heart. Zhao Zi's sudden change of hostility and killing people like grass suddenly made him understand a lot of things!
Zhao Zi looked coldly at the twitching dead He Da, then went forward to search the body. His movements were so clean and quick that it was obviously not the first time he had done this.

Then, she came to Gong Tianwu who was leaning against the wall next to her. She noticed that his eyes were a little evasive, so she threw a bag over to him:

"There are twenty-five silver treasures in here, a bottle of my family's secret medicine for injuries, and a bottle of Qi-nourishing powder for martial arts training."

Gong Tianwu immediately opened the sack and started counting the items, looking very focused. He even opened the medicine bottle and took a smell.

Zhao Zi said calmly at this time:

"This medicine for injuries is a secret recipe of my family. It has never been circulated before. It is quite effective. As for the Qi-nourishing powder, it can help people feel the Qi in advance when they first get started. It is a must-have medicine for beginners of internal energy."

After hearing this, Gong Tianwu immediately said seriously:

"Senior Sister Zhao has stood up for justice and I am very grateful to her. I will definitely explain and praise her when I see you in the future!"

Zhao Zi heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Gong Tianwu being so sensible:

"There's no need to praise me, this is our job. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. You should heal your wound first."

After Zhao Zi finished saying this, he turned around and left slowly.

Zhou Zhizhong also wanted to take advantage of the situation to slip away. He was now very panicked, even at a loss. All he wanted was to run away as quickly as possible to discuss this matter with his father.

But just as Zhou Zhizhong took two steps, Gong Tianwu sneered:
"Stop, Zhou Goudan, did I let you go?"

Zhou Zhizhong was struck by lightning and froze in place for several seconds. Then he slowly turned around and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying. He said:
"Brother Tiantian, I just came to watch the fun, please don't misunderstand me."

Gong Tianwu said with a wry smile:

"Oh, how you explain it is your business, but whether you believe it or not is my business. Let's get closer in martial arts later."

As Gong Tianwu spoke, he waved the iron plate in his hand, and his threat was obvious.

Zhou Zhizhong was also in tears at this time:
"what do you want?"

Gong Tianwu suddenly said:

"Who told you to trouble me?"

Zhou Zhizhong immediately said hurriedly:

"The eldest daughter-in-law of the Xu family told everyone that you stole the sheep from the He family."

Gong Tianwu nodded slightly, then a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly brought up a seemingly unrelated topic.

"I heard that your family makes hundreds of kilograms of braised pork every year before winter, and you use a secret recipe passed down by your elders? The taste is really good."

Zhou Zhizhong was stunned, not knowing why the other party suddenly brought this up: "Yes, yes, Brother Tian, ​​if you want to eat it, I'll send you 50 kilograms right away!"

Gong Tianwu laughed and said:

"Fifty kilograms is too much. One of ten or eight kilograms will be enough."

Zhou Zhizhong immediately let out a long sigh of relief, thinking to himself that Tian Dasha had never seen the world and could get away with just a few pounds of braised pork. He agreed in a hurry.

But Gong Tianwu's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he leaned close to his ear and whispered:
"At three o'clock tonight, ask your wife to personally bring the marinated meat to me."

The distance between the two was so close at this time that the smell of sheep, wine, garlic and blood from Gong Tianwu's mouth sprayed onto Zhou Zhizhong's face, making Zhou Zhizhong almost vomit.

But the most lethal thing was the content of Gong Tianwu's words. Zhou Zhizhong suddenly felt his ears buzzing and his eyes turned red. He rushed forward and grabbed Gong Tianwu's neck fiercely.

But Gong Tianwu was completely relaxed, showing no intention of resisting. He coughed up blood and smiled with difficulty:

"Come on, Zhou Goudan, come on, my life is worth it if I can bring your whole family along!"

Zhou Zhizhong was shaking violently all over. He suddenly loosened his hands, howled loudly, and walked away with his face covered, like a severely injured beast!

***
After three hours,

Gong Tianwu was already lying on his bed at home, rubbing the bruises on his chest with medicinal wine, gritted his teeth. Tian Yun was standing by the stove boiling water, glancing at him worriedly from time to time.

The inside of this shabby house has been cleaned up thoroughly, and new firewood has been added to the kang below.

The people who did these things were Tian Yun's in-laws. In the short period of time just now, their outlook on life had been greatly impacted.

After all, in their perception, the two brothers of the He family were already the most powerful men in the village, but they were killed at the doorstep like wild dogs without any hesitation. Even a village tyrant like Zhou Zhizhong fled in panic.

This made the Zhang family deeply realize that Tian Yun's younger brother had made great progress, so the country people could only curry favor with him in the simplest way and even spoke to Tian Yun with caution.

Tian Yun, on the other hand, seemed worried. She was hesitant to speak before leaving, with tears in her eyes. Because she was considered an knowledgeable person, she certainly knew that benefits and risks coexist.

Just take today’s incident as an example. If there had been the slightest mistake, the one whose body would have been collected would not be the two He brothers, but his own younger brother.

Soon, hot water was brought to Gong Tianwu. Tian Yun fed him a pill of scarlet medicine that Zhao Zi had brought, and said worriedly:

"Brother, take care of yourself."

Gong Tianwu covered his chest and coughed twice, then smiled bitterly:
"People in the arena involuntarily."

After he finished speaking, he directly handed a jingling cloth bag to Tian Yun.

Tian Yun was shocked when she opened it. There were more than twenty silver treasures inside! She threw it away as if she was holding a burning coal.

"What are you doing?"

Gong Tianwu said sincerely:

"You know my current situation. It's easy to make money but the risk is great. Half of this money is for my nephew, and the other half is for you. If I get into trouble one day in the future, this is the capital for my comeback."

After some earnest persuasion, Tian Yun finally accepted the money.

For Gong Tianwu, he really needs two hundred silver treasures to buy medicine to treat his illness, but he has made a fortune now, and it is definitely not his character to watch Tian Yun continue to suffer in poverty. After all, this may be the last relative in the world who is willing to be open-hearted to him.

After sending Tian Yun away, Gong Tianwu stood up and stretched his arms and legs, and found that the medicine left by Zhao Zi was indeed effective.

Although the wounds and bruises on my body still hurt a little, the uncomfortable feeling in my chest had almost disappeared, and the severe pain in my internal organs when I walked was also gone.

"Oh my god! A mere country girl could come up with such resources at will. Killing the He brothers is as easy as stepping on two ants."

Only at this moment did Gong Tianwu realize that the class gap and division in this world were far more serious than he had imagined, and it was no exaggeration to say that the people at the bottom were like grass.

"Da da da"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.

Gong Tianwu was suddenly startled and picked up a sharp ox-ear knife at hand.

He now has a huge sum of money and has offended many people. He would not be surprised no matter who attacks him at night.

"Who?"

Gong Tianwu shouted.

But there was no answer from outside the door, which made Gong Tianwu more alert. He grabbed the knife and approached quietly.

But when he approached the door, he heard a series of women's suppressed sobs.

Gong Tianwu was quite familiar with this voice, and his heart immediately started pounding:
"This seems to be the voice of Second Sister Hu?"
