Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 9: Evil guests come to the door
In the end, all three full pots of bone and offal soup were drunk up, even the big bones used for stewing the soup were as clean as if they had been chewed by a dog, and of course the bone marrow inside was not spared.

Even so, Zhang's mother-in-law took the lead in collecting these clean bones. She planned to dry them and then boil them into soup. Finally, she would smash the bones into small pieces, grind them into powder, and mix them with steamed bread to eat.

People from poor families live frugally.

However, just as Gong Tianwu patted his belly with satisfaction and was about to stand up and go home, the door of Zhang's house was suddenly kicked open with a "bang". The leader was a big black man with a face full of flesh. He looked around and pointed at Gong Tianwu and said sternly:

"Brother, the dog is here!!"

When the big black guy shouted like that, another man came out from behind him. The two men looked exactly the same.

The two men were the He brothers in the village. The eldest brother of the He family was a small captain in the village militia, and the second brother, He Ming, was even more brave and aggressive. He boasted everywhere that he had stabbed people to death in the past, so people in the village had to give them some respect.

At this time, He Da held a stick in his hand and sneered:

"Fuck you, my lamb is delicious!"

Boss Zhang was stunned and didn't understand what was going on. He walked forward and wanted to say something, but He Da hit him hard in the face with a stick. He immediately collapsed to the ground, covering his face with his hands and groaning in pain.

Everyone in the Zhang family was stunned for a moment, except for the little kid who rushed over and cried loudly.

He Ming was very happy watching all this. He strode forward and slapped Gong Tianwu hard:
"You blind bastard, you actually sneaked into my house? I'm going to skin you alive today!"

If it was Tian Dachun before, he might have knelt down and begged for mercy, but unfortunately it has been replaced by Gong Tianwu now.

The mysterious death countdown has made him unscrupulous.
His previous experience of fighting the zombies in the icy sea transformed him completely!

In a split second, Gong Tianwu's face showed a look of fear and panic, and he allowed He Ming to slap him hard in the face. Suddenly, stars appeared in front of his eyes and his nose even bled.

But at the moment when He Er was careless, Gong Tianwu's right knee had already bent and pushed hard, hitting the opponent's crotch.

The brute's facial features immediately wrinkled together in pain, and then he collapsed to the ground with his legs clamped together and his crotch covered, gasping for breath and rolling over.

The He family's eldest brother was immediately shocked and angry and wanted to take action, but he found that Gong Tianwu had already put a dagger to his brother's neck without hesitation. He was afraid to use his weapon and could only grit his teeth and say:
"Tian Dachun! You have guts!"

Gong Tianwu said coldly:
"Your sheep fell, and you came to trouble me? Who told you that I was the one who did it?"

The pain in He Ming and He Lao Er eased a little at this time, and what surged in their hearts was not fear, but disbelief:

"I was actually tricked by this scabby Tian Dachun?"

So he immediately shouted:
"Tian Dachun, I'm going to fuck your mother. You stinky piece of shit, you're worthy of playing with a knife? If you have the guts, just kill me. Ah!!!!"

Before He Ming could say anything, Gong Tianwu pulled the dagger without hesitation, cutting a small part of He Ming's left ear, and blood flowed all over his face in an instant.

He Ming felt a sharp pain in his ear and could feel the warm blood quickly flowing down his cheek. He suddenly lost his courage and could only look at his brother with pleading eyes.

"Killing you is like killing a dog. I have a heart attack and was recently conscripted into the immortal sect. I don't want to live anyway, so it's not a loss to use you as a scapegoat!"

Gong Tianwu gritted his teeth and smiled, but that smile was particularly creepy.

The He family boss also saw that Tian Dachun was really willing to kill him. He couldn't just watch his brother's life being lost here, so he gritted his teeth and said:

"Okay, okay, okay! Let's admit defeat today! You let them go, and this matter will be written off. We'll leave right away!"

Gong Tianwu was about to speak when he suddenly heard a shout from afar:
"Hey! Tian Dachun, you are so bold, how dare you kill someone in broad daylight?"

The person who spoke was none other than Zhou Zhizhong, the son of the village head Zhou Lu, who came quickly. Next to him stood a haughty woman in black with a veil on her face, looking indifferent to external affairs.

After hearing Zhou Zhizhong's words, Gong Tianwu immediately sneered:
"Zhou Goudan, you are blind! The He brothers broke into my sister's house and committed a crime. I am now defending myself!"

Zhou Zhizhong was directly called a nickname by Gong Tianwu. He felt that he had lost face in front of his senior brother, and a nameless evil fire suddenly rose in his heart:

"You bastard, you still dare to quibble?"

He immediately strode forward, but the dagger that Gong Tianwu had placed on He Ming's neck immediately tightened, and a trickle of blood was seen flowing down.

"Come on, Zhou Goudan, I know you want to kill someone with a borrowed knife. After all, you have been eyeing He Laoer's wife for several years but have never succeeded, right?"

Instigated by Gong Tianwu, the He brothers were immediately shocked and angry. He Lao Da was even more unwilling to risk his brothers' lives. He turned the stick in his hand and chopped it in front of Zhou Zhizhong with a whoosh. He said coldly:
"Zhou family, I'm sorry, but you don't really want to force my brother to death, do you?"

Zhou Zhizhong was not a quick-witted person. When he was stopped by Boss He, he immediately stopped and said angrily:
"Tian Dachun, you bastard, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Seeing that the situation had reached a stalemate, Gong Tianwu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He had already figured out that this matter was caused by the lamb leg, and the Zhou brothers suspected that he had stolen the lamb and came to attack him. When more people gathered, he would explain the origin of the lamb leg, and then he would be right in this matter.

It all sounds great, as if everything is going according to Gong Tianwu's plan, but there is a saying that goes "Man proposes, God disposes!"
The woman in black suddenly sneered:
"It's really noisy!"

Suddenly, she moved her left hand, and a small stone popped out and hit Gong Tianwu's right arm with a "pop", right at the location of the numbness.

Gong Tianwu didn't even have time to come to his senses. He just felt his right hand go numb and the dagger fell to the ground.

The woman in black walked forward slowly. It didn't seem how fast she moved, but it gave people the feeling that each step she took was a long distance. She was like a ghost, and she seemed to have arrived in front of Gong Tianwu in the blink of an eye.

Only then did Gong Tianwu react and tried to pick up the knife again, but the woman suddenly kicked out!
This kick felt like a flying whip to the people around, and even when it hit Gong Tianwu, it made a sharp "crackling" sound.

In an instant, Gong Tianwu was kicked up and his back hit the wall of the hut behind him. A big hole was instantly broken in the wall, dust flew everywhere, and the whole hut shook at this moment, as if it could not bear the pressure and collapsed.

After crashing through the wall, Gong Tianwu rolled on the ground five or six times before he stopped. His chest heaved violently, and then he vomited a mouthful of blood with a "wow".

The woman in black sneered and stopped where she was. It seemed that she was confident in her status and therefore did not pursue.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Zhizhong immediately praised:

"Senior Sister Zhao's leg skills are truly amazing and breathtaking. She will definitely pass this exam!!"

Zhou Zhizhong's father Zhou Lu spent a lot of money two months ago to get Zhou Zhizhong enrolled in the county martial arts school to learn martial arts.

However, the government would allocate an allowance of 20 kilograms of grain and 5 kilograms of meat to martial arts students every month, but people like Zhou Zhizhong, who had connections, not only received no allowance, but also had to pay a high price. Strictly speaking, they could only be considered auditors, and would be expelled if they did not perform well.

The woman in black was called Zhao Zi, a distant relative of Zhou Zhizhong's family. She needed a kind of jellyfish that would only emerge under moonlight as an initiator when refining medicine, so she came here to play and relax after Zhou Zhizhong's strong flattery.
She is also a member of the county martial arts school and has been there for five years, making her a senior disciple.

You know, during the military provincial examination, you need to pass three levels in a row to become a military scholar.
But anyone who can pass the first two levels and be eliminated at the last level is considered a potential seed, so he is also called a country student. He can receive an extra ten kilograms of grain and five kilograms of meat every month. His status is above that of a martial arts student and below that of a martial arts scholar.

In the militia set up in the village, the team leader must be a village student or above by default, and a martial arts student can only reach the level of deputy team leader at most.

Zhao Zi is a country boy, and his strength is indeed extraordinary. Last year, he went to the neighboring county to suppress bandits and kill people. Even a dozen strong men could not get close to him.

***
Seeing Gong Tianwu suddenly being knocked to the ground, He Ming, the second son of the He family, suddenly became furious. He rushed up and beat Gong Tianwu up, leaving him with a bruised face and bleeding nose. Then he searched his body with a sneer.

Then He Ming took out a remaining silver treasure and said in surprise:
"This bastard hasn't even spent all the money he earned from stealing sheep!"

But then he found three more silver treasures, and his face suddenly became a little strange. After all, a pregnant ewe could only be sold for one and a half silver treasures. It was obviously unexpected to find such a huge sum of money on Tian Dachun.

But soon greed appeared in He Ming's eyes. He immediately put the three silver treasures into his arms, and then searched again. This time he took out an iron plate.

He Ming looked at it indifferently, confirmed that the thing was not worth much, and immediately threw it away, but it happened to fall at Zhao Zi's feet.

Zhao Zi didn't say that he kept his eyes and ears open at all times, but he did have basic vigilance. If he saw something flying towards him, he would definitely pay special attention.

As a result, when the sign fell at her feet, she didn't think much of it at first glance, but after taking another look, Zhao Zi's eyes widened immediately, and she bent down to pick it up.

After Zhao Zi took a look at the brand, his expression became extremely ugly, and there was even a hint of fear in his eyes!
She immediately looked up and found that He Ming was still rummaging through Gong Tianwu's body. She quickly stepped forward, grabbed He Ming's neck and threw him to the ground.

The fall was so sudden, and Zhao Zi had acted so ruthlessly in a panic, that He Ming immediately felt a black screen in front of his eyes and a sharp pain in his chest. He couldn't even breathe and almost fainted.

Then Zhao Zi actually squatted down, took out the iron plate and said to Gong Tianwu urgently:
"Where did you get this brand?"

At this time, Gong Tianwu had been beaten black and blue, his face was covered in blood, and even his eyes were swollen like peaches. Blood was still oozing from the corners of his mouth. He looked as miserable as he could be.

At this time, facing Zhao Zi's question, he actually forced out a smile and said weakly:

"Get one??? Stupid woman, haha, get one for me and try!"

"I'm not afraid to tell you, I went to hunt an ice corpse last night, and there was something on it that won the favor of Master Luo in the martial arts school, cough cough cough."

When Gong Tianwu coughed violently, Zhao Zi's face was already very ugly, because she could tell that the guy in front of her was not lying, but she heard the other party continue:
"Then Master Luo asked Third Brother Xie to bring me a sign, telling me to go find him after I finish my family matters."

After hearing this, Zhao Zi froze on the spot!

Zhou Zhizhong was also stunned at this time. He rushed forward and grabbed the sign, and said in a daze:

"How is it possible? How could you possibly get the Jingtie Wupai?!!!"
