I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 41 "Zhang Yufeng in Yunzhao"

Xie Yuan looked at the flustered Zhou Feng, and raised his eyebrows when he heard his shout.

Zhang Lao Er?

Come to think of it, I haven't seen him picking on me for a long time.

It is difficult for him to really do anything to me now just by relying on me.

Was the sudden outburst due to the matter of Shitou's land deed, and the instructions from his elder brother?
Xie Yuan thought about many things in an instant and asked in a deep voice:
"Don't be in a hurry, Brother Feng, take your time."

Zhou Feng ran all the way down, propped up his knees and panted heavily. After a while, he pointed at the mountain and said hurriedly:
"Today we got a particularly good nanmu tree and were about to leave the forest when we suddenly saw Zhang Laoer and his gang of brothers waiting at the mountain pass.

“It seems that they heard that we can make money by transporting wood recently, so they stopped us from leaving, saying that they want to make a fortune together, and they also want to steal the nanmu tree!
"Brother Zhu used his axe to confront them, but there were too many of them, and they were all armed with sticks and hoes, so they were obviously well prepared. Before they surrounded us, Brother Zhu told me to run away and come down the mountain to report. I managed to get rid of a few of them by circling around because I was familiar with the forest, and then I ran down.

"Brother Yuan, you better think of a solution! I feel like a fight is going to break out at any moment. No, it might have already started!"

Xie Yuan listened and prepared himself. When Zhou Feng finished speaking, he had already put on his clothes, tied his belt, and fastened his shoes. He picked up the axe and walked out:
"Let's go, lead the way."

Seeing Xie Yuan's decisiveness, Zhou Feng sighed:
"Brother Yuan, they have a lot of people..."

“Are there 10 million people?”

Xie Yuan chuckled, and when he saw that Zhou Feng didn't understand the gag, he shook his head:

"No matter how many people they have, I can't just leave you guys surrounded and ignore you."

Zhu Dongming, Wang Lei and others got into this trouble because they chopped wood for him. If he was afraid and refused to go, what kind of person would he be?
Besides, the reason why Zhang Laoer came to him was most likely to target him.

To cut off his source of income is tantamount to trying to kill him!

Of course, Xie Yuan felt confident because he had practiced martial arts for a long time, but he still decided to observe from the outside first.

After hearing this, Zhou Feng's face showed emotion.

Xie Yuan is indeed a very nice person.

He came down to ask for help, but he felt that there were too many people on the opposite side. If Xie Yuan went alone, he might suffer a loss. But if he didn't go, Zhu Dongming and the other two would definitely not end up well. He didn't know what to do and was very conflicted.

Now seeing Xie Yuan picking up the axe and rushing up, blood boiled in his heart. He tightly gripped his axe, ran to the front and pointed in the direction.

In the shallow part of the forest, there is a sparse woodland.

Zhu Dongming, Wang Lei and Chen Yun had a whole straight and solid nanmu tree placed at their feet. The tree was in excellent condition and was obviously made of top-quality material.

Opposite the three of them was Zhang Laoer, who was blocking their way with eight or nine of his younger brothers.

There was a huge difference in the number of people on both sides. On Zhang Laoer's side, basically all the hooligans in Xiaoshi Village were here, including Wang Ergou, who was beaten by Xie Yuan and Wang Lei, and his face was still a little swollen.

Zhang Laoer stood in front, confronting Zhu Dongming a few meters away.

"Your wood is nice. I like it. Stop pestering me and let me carry it away."

Zhang Laoer gave the orders calmly.

Zhu Dongming snorted coldly:
"If you like it, go cut it yourself, don't think about us."

"How did it become yours? It's clearly in the forest, so it's called ownerless property. Since it's ownerless, I saw it and I can take it if I want."

Zhang Laoer tilted his mouth and looked very arrogant.

He waved his hand, and two younger brothers came forward to drag the wood.

"Do you have any shame? We were the ones who cut down this tree!"

Zhu Dongming's face was filled with anger, and he pointed his axe at the two thugs:

"roll!"

The two thugs stood still, somewhat cowering. Zhang Laoer's face darkened and he snorted coldly:
"What you cut is yours? I said I had my eyes on it for a long time, but you guys stole it. Go ahead, ignore him, and see if he dares to do anything!"

At this time, a sneer came from outside the forest:
"Zhang Lao Er, you are a tyrant in the village, you have been snatching fields, land and women, and now you even want to snatch a few pieces of wood. How shameless do you have?"

The two groups of people who were facing each other in the forest looked out, and Zhu Dongming and his companions suddenly looked happy. Zhang Laoer narrowed his eyes and said slowly:
"That's because you are not genuine. We are all from the same village. If you have a way to make money, you should naturally bring everyone along."

"Bah! Why should I bring someone you hate?"

Xie Yuan led Zhou Feng into the forest one after the other, and said, "Pooh!"

"A good dog doesn't block the road. Get out of here now and save some face."

The hooligans' faces changed drastically when they heard this. They didn't expect Xie Yuan to be so arrogant? Usually, they were the only ones who would say such things about others. Now, they all responded with foul language.

Zhang Lao Er's face was filled with rage, and he shouted:
"Xie Yuan, don't think you can get away with it just because you've learned some basic Kung Fu. Today I'm going to make you regret ever having a tongue!
"Go! Hit him once, smash his mouth!"

A group of thugs, armed with weapons, shouted and rushed towards Xie Yuan in a fan shape.

Xie Yuan sneered, pulled out his axe, and slashed to the side!

With the chopping, Tie Yang next to him was cut in half by his axe!
Xie Yuan pushed Tie Yang with his skill again, and he fell towards the group of thugs in front of him, scaring them so much that they quickly dispersed.

With a loud bang, Tieyang fell to the ground, stirring up dust and flying leaves, making it difficult for people in the forest to see each other clearly.

Suddenly, Xie Yuan rushed out from the smoke and dust and rushed into the scattered group of thugs!

Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, Xie Yuan punched as fast as the wind, instantly smashing three noses and two eye corners; the thugs behind him came to cover him, he moved nimbly, turned around, and smashed the tiger bone axe handle into one of them's mouth, instantly knocking out several teeth!
Iron Armor's long fist was only slightly improved. These thugs couldn't withstand a single punch from him. After being separated, they couldn't keep up with his pace in the melee and all fell down in an instant!

When the smoke and dust settled, Xie Yuan was the only one standing proudly in the forest, while all around him, the thugs were lying in a mess, rolling and groaning.

Zhang Laoer and Zhou Feng all widened their eyes in disbelief.

Impossible, impossible!
I brought everyone here specially. How long has Xie Yuan been practicing martial arts? I expected him to be beaten up.

As a result, Xie Yuan's fighting ability was beyond imagination, just like a real warrior. When my eldest brother first learned martial arts, he was far from this level!
How could this be?
Seeing Xie Yuan walking towards him step by step, Zhang Laoer's crooked mouth trembled, and then his eyes became fierce and he roared:
"Why are you pretending? I've practiced this before, too!"

He tensed his whole body, took two quick steps, and suddenly jumped up and kicked with great force!

This was a very sudden and decisive action, catching the opponent by surprise. It was possible that the opponent would not be able to react and be knocked over by a kick. It turned out that he had practiced this move for a while.

However, Xie Yuan just turned his feet and dodged the kick to the side.

If Zhang Laoer fails to kick anyone with this posture, his whole body will be exposed.

Xie Yuan grabbed Zhang Laoer's back and pushed him to the ground with a bang.

Zhang Laoer struggled a bit, but felt as if he was being held down by a blind bear and couldn't get free at all. He couldn't help but yell:
"Xie Yuan, if you dare to touch me, my brother will not let you go!"

"If I don't touch you, won't your brother let me go?"

Xie Yuan's rhetorical question left Zhang Laoer speechless.

Zhang Lao Er gritted his teeth and snorted coldly:
"If you are polite to me, you still have a chance to survive. Otherwise, when my brother comes back to the village, you will be dead!"

"Wait for your brother to return to the village... Where is your brother now?"

Zhang Laoer was stunned for a moment, and said subconsciously:

"In the clouds."

"Okay, this scene will be called 'Zhang Yufeng in Yunzhao County'."

Xie Yuan laughed and picked up Zhang Laoer.

Then, he punched Zhang Laoer hard in the stomach, making him bend over like a shrimp and vomit acid in the air.

The thugs on the ground had stopped shouting and were just staring at the scene in a daze.

The leader who had been running the village for so long was actually hung up and beaten.

They suddenly felt like they were meeting Zhang Laoer and Xie Yuan for the first time, and their mood was completely confused.
