"I am Tie Zhu's apprentice. I often learn to throw bags from him. If we do this, we will compete in wrestling."
"Wrestling...hahahahaha...well, come on!"
The escort took one look at Zhou Sen's figure, laughed loudly, put down the steel knife in his hand, took off the leather jacket on his upper body, revealing muscles like steel plates, and just stood there, like an iron tower that makes people look up.
The workers were immediately disappointed.
In the East Courtyard, they are all familiar with each other. Although Zhou Sen has some strength, he is definitely not as strong as Tie Zhu. The strength of this dart head is evenly matched with Tie Zhu's, so one can imagine how powerful it is.
Obviously, Zhou Sen cannot be as powerful as the escort master, and in terms of skills, Zhou Sen is far inferior. After all, the escort master has been making a living in the world for a long time. Although he cannot be said to have experienced hundreds of battles, he is still sharp.
Dancing on the stage should not be taken lightly.
No one noticed that the ferocious look on Zhou Sen's face fleetingly disappeared.
The underground escorts dispersed and made room for an open space by the well. The two of them went to the open space.
"How about this, how about we start by grabbing each other with our hands and shouting 'one, two, three' at the same time. Whoever is knocked down and can't get up loses, how about that?"
"good."
The escort leader agreed wholeheartedly and grabbed Zhou Sen. At the same time, Zhou Sen also stretched out his hands.
Just as the two people's hands intertwined, Zhou Sen's body suddenly swooped down and ran into the escort's arms. He opened his hands, grabbed the escort's legs, and actually carried the escort's head.
On the back.
"roar!"
Zhou Sen let out a powerful roar, his bowed body suddenly bounced up, and with a flick of his hands, the dart head like an iron tower flew out in the air.
The speed was so fast that not only did the onlookers not expect Zhou Sen to suddenly make a sneak attack, but also the head of the escort was not alert at all. He was caught off guard and was thrown out by Zhou Sen like a sack.
There was a muffled sound of "Peng".
The heavy body of the dart head hit the moss-covered bluestone bricks along the edge of the well, and along with the sound of falling, a series of heart-stopping sounds of fractures were heard.
Everyone in the entire east courtyard was stunned. Even Tie Zhu, who was sitting on the chair, forgot about the pain and looked dumbfounded.
"ah……"
The bodyguard let out a burst of painful screams, and a group of stunned bodyguards came to their senses. They quickly went over to pick up the bodyguard, but when the bodyguard touched the broken bone, there was another heartbreaking scream.
"You cheated!" an escort shouted loudly.
"Treating another person in his own way, your skills are inferior to others!" Zhou Sen looked at the bodyguard coldly.
"That's right, my skills are inferior to those of others."
"But he said it himself, his skills are inferior to others!"
A group of workers booed and gathered around Zhou Sen with tools in their hands. Lu Axe, holding an axe, stood in front of Zhou Sen menacingly. His Zhushi body looked like a door god.
A group of bodyguards couldn't reason with each other. They were so angry that they vomited blood and all drew their weapons.
"Haha, I haven't been to the East Courtyard in a few years, but it's so lively when I come here."
Just when the swords were at war, a faint voice sounded. This voice was extremely weird. Everyone in the noisy East Courtyard could hear it, just like the bell of dawn.
Everyone followed the sound and saw a tall and thin middle-aged man standing quietly outside, with a pair of deep eyes. Beside him, followed by Zhu Tongzi and a beautiful girl.
"master."
"master."
"..."
The workers in the East Compound all bowed with respect on their faces.
Superpowers!
Looking at the middle-aged man's deep eyes, the faces of the escorts suddenly changed, revealing a look of fear. They had been wandering outside for a long time, so naturally they still had some eyesight, and they immediately saw that this middle-aged man was an extremely cultivated person. High superpower.
The existence between an escort and a person with superpowers is completely different from the same dimension.
"Well, our Shen family is also responsible for this matter. Since it has happened, everyone thinks peace is the most important thing. Cannon, go to the accounting office to advance 50,000 imperial coins. This is not the first time that the tower guard has cooperated with our Shen family. This time You can't let the head guard of the tower suffer." Shen Wan walked to the head guard with a look of concern.
"Yes, sir." Zhu Tongzi hurried to the accounting room.
"Thank you Mr. Wan. This time, it's Ta's fault. I don't want the money." The head guard looked ashamed.
"We have been working together for some years. There are times when teeth and tongues fight. Who is right and who is wrong? Take good care of your injuries. In the future, our Shen family will have more honor guard guards."
"Thank you Wan Ye."
"It's been a hundred days since my bones have been injured. It's better for Tower Guard Chief to stay in Niejiaqiao until his injury is better. Then he can help our Shen family protect their goods in the next year."
"Master Wan, this... this... is not good..."
"The weather is bad now, with wind and snow all over the sky, and the road is muddy. It's better for Tower Guard to rest for a while. We have an inn in Niejiaqiao. You and your brothers will stay here first. I'll ask the doctor to go to the inn later. No need. That’s what the head escort is worried about.”
"Then...thank you Mr. Wan." The escort moved his body, and his face suddenly started to sweat with pain. He thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
After a while, Zhu Tongzi also came and forced 50,000 imperial coins to the head guard of the tower. The head guard took a group of subordinates and went to the Shen family's inn with great gratitude.
A war turned into jade because of Shen Wan's appearance.
For escorts, 50,000 empire coins is not a small amount. Their income from escorting a trip is not even 50,000 empire coins.
Of course, the most important thing is that Shen Wan gave them enough face. After all, Shen Wan is a person with super powers. Killing them is as easy as trampling an ant. Besides, they are not reasonable in this matter.
After a group of escorts left the east courtyard, Shen Wan's eyes fell on Tie Zhu.
"Tie Zhu, you have been coming to our Shen family for seventeen years, right? You go home every year during the Chinese New Year. This time is a blessing in disguise. You can take a long vacation to rest and spend time with your wife and children. Cannon, Tie Zhu's The soup and medicine expenses have been reimbursed, and the salary cannot be underestimated."
"Remember, Master." Zhu Tongzi nodded repeatedly.
"Thank you, sir." Tie Zhu endured the pain with a silly smile on his face.
"You are quite brave!" Shen Wan's eyes finally fell on Zhou Sen.
"Master, I really have no choice. The matter is urgent, so I can only delay the matter until the master comes."
"You knew I would come?" Shen Wan was stunned.
"I knew the master would come before I saw Brother Tong." Zhou Sen looked humble. In fact, Zhou Sen thought that Zhu would come, but he didn't expect that Shen Wan would arrive in person. Of course, Zhou Sen did not I don’t know, but Zhu has already gone to Tianfu to have a wedding banquet.
"Well, that's right. I like what you said, 'No one is allowed to step out of the Shen family without an explanation.' Okay, okay, domineering!" Shen Wan laughed loudly.
"The master is laughing."
"Dapao, give Xiao Zhou three months' wages. Our Shen family always does things with conscience."
"Yes, sir."
"Okay, everyone, don't be idle. Go and do what you have to do. Don't look at me helplessly. The Shen family is very poor now. It's impossible for everyone to get money." Shen Wan waved to everyone.
"Ha ha……"
A group of workers laughed loudly and dispersed.
Shen Wan slowly turned around in the east courtyard with his hands behind his back and left. While Shen Wan was wandering around in the east courtyard, Shen Huimin stuffed something into Zhou Sen's hand while no one was paying attention.
Zhou Sen didn't dare to see what it was in front of others, so he hid it in his arms and watched Shen Wan leave the east courtyard before letting out a long sigh of relief.
For a long time, Zhou Sen thought that Shen Wan was just a person who was obsessed with spiritual cultivation. It was not until today that Zhou Sen realized that Shen Wan was not as simple as he thought. In fact, Shen Wan had a deep understanding of how to win over people's hearts, and he handled things without any sloppiness. , watertight.
In fact, whether a person is capable or not can be seen in the eyes of his subordinates.
The workers in the east courtyard looked at Shen Wan with far more respect than they looked at Zhu.
Shen Wan is the real backbone of the Shen family.
Zhou Sen made an excuse and went back to the room. He took out the thing in his arms and saw that it was a pink paper dragonfly. It was very beautifully made and lifelike, as if it might fly at any time.
Opening the pink paper dragonfly, there is a line of beautiful black characters written on it, as if written with an eyebrow pencil.
"I'll wait for you at Moling tonight."
"Mo Ling."
Zhou Sen muttered something, then crumpled the pink paper dragonfly into a ball and threw it away.
Going to Moling at night would be like committing suicide!
Zhou Sen is naturally not that stupid. From Niejiaqiao to Moling, it is a round trip of nearly a hundred miles. There have been continuous snowstorms recently, and the weather is freezing. The heavy snow that has closed the mountains in Moling must have reached waist level. Going to Moling at this time, It is no different from committing suicide. Of course, the main reason is that Zhou Sen does not want to have anything to do with the eldest daughter of the Shen family. After all, he is just cultivating in the Shen family. Once he regains his strength, he will leave and find a way to return to the five stars. domain.
The East Courtyard was calm again.
Zhou Sen is very free now. The flies have long since disappeared due to the cold weather, so he can't chop them even if he wants to. Apart from occasionally chopping wood and carrying bags, he spends most of his time helping Chef Peng and Chef Lei kill pigs and sheep.
Now, as the New Year is approaching, the Shen family needs to marinate a large amount of meat products. Chef Peng and Chef Lei have become very busy, killing several pigs, cattle, sheep and other large livestock almost every day.
In the back mountain of Shen's family, there is a fish pond covering dozens of acres. Next to the fish pond, a pig farm was built, where dozens of fat pigs were raised and slaughtered all year round.
Of course, the few livestock the Shen family raises themselves are definitely not enough. Most of the livestock are delivered by tenants on a planned monthly basis to offset the farm rent.
In addition to helping the Shen family slaughter livestock, some tenants of the Shen family and nearby residents would occasionally bring large animals to the east courtyard for the chef to help slaughter.
Recently, it’s like Chinese New Year in Dongyuan. Pigs and sheep are slaughtered every day. It’s really hot. Some of the leftovers from slaughtering pigs and sheep, such as intestines, heart and lungs, are stewed in a big pot in the yard, which is steaming hot. , the aroma is overflowing. This is the happiest time for the workers. They gather in a circle, drink from big bowls, and chop large pieces of food.
It was only then that Zhou Sen saw the real skills of Chef Peng and Chef Lei.
In this cold weather, Chef Peng and Chef Lei were both topless, showing off their fat bodies. Don’t underestimate the fat bodies on their bodies. After the two picked up the butcher’s knives, they were full of energy.
Immediately, there was a sudden change, with daggers gleaming and murderous intent, a pig would be neatly trimmed into pieces in at most half an hour.
The first time Zhou Sen saw the two people's flowing sword skills, he was shocked. Later, he gradually became numb after seeing them every day.
Of course, Zhou Sen still followed the principle of not overburdening himself with his skills, and concentrated on learning the knife skills of the two chefs to kill pigs and sheep. After all, this was similar to the way he studied human anatomy in Mogan Prison.
In just a few days, Zhou Sen found some clues.
Whether you are killing pigs, sheep, or other animals, you must first understand the structure of the animal, such as where the heart is, how many ribs are outside the heart, or how to accurately grasp the aorta to facilitate bleeding, etc.
In addition to the fatal location, the decomposition process is also very particular. It is necessary to understand the size and location of the animal's internal organs, and to calculate the endurance of the muscle tissue outside the internal organs to avoid the situation where the animal is still struggling desperately after being cut.
Of course, the most complicated thing is to decompose muscle tissue, because there are thousands of muscle tissues in any animal. If you want to completely separate them without destroying their structure, and achieve the level of a cook deconstructing an ox, it will be impossible.
No joke, in addition to superb knife skills, you also need excellent patience. If you are impatient, all your efforts will be wasted immediately...
…
Zhou Sen never thought about killing pigs, he thought about killing people.
When he was in Mogan Prison, Zhou Sen studied human anatomy in order to kill people.
Medical skills can not only save people, but also kill people.
Zhou Sen lived a very comfortable life, chopping wood and killing pigs during the day, and studying diagrams of the human body at night. More than half a month passed in a flash.
It got dark quickly today, and the East Courtyard was closed. After dinner, Zhou Sen returned to his room early to read some ancient books. Zhou Sen discovered that the ancient books on this planet all originated from the ancient earth, just like the five star fields, but
, the ancient books in the five star regions are all kept in museums, and the ancient books here are very popular books.
"Dong dong..." A gentle but urgent knock on the door sounded.
"Who?" Zhou Sen was stunned. He had been at Shen's house for two months and no one had ever looked for him at night.
"I." A low voice sounded.
"Shen Huimin!" Zhou Sen was shocked.
"It's me, open the door quickly!" Shen Huimin said angrily.
Zhou Sen quickly opened the door and saw Shen Huimin with her back to the door, holding a black gold sword and facing several black dogs outside. The black dogs were suppressed by the sword energy. Although they did not dare to bark, they still refused to leave.
, stared at Shen Huimin and made a whining sound.
Zhou Sen quickly walked out, touched the heads of several black dogs and comforted them, and then the black dogs left with their tails between their legs.
"Damn dog, you don't even know my aunt." Seeing the dogs leaving, Shen Huimin breathed a sigh of relief, sheathed her dagger and walked into Zhou Sen's dwelling.
Seeing Shen Huimin observing in the room, Zhou Sen had no choice but to stand quietly.
"Miss, in the middle of the night..." Seeing Shen Huimin sitting down on his bed, Zhou Sen finally couldn't help it anymore.
"Humph, you also know that it's midnight. Let me ask you, we agreed to go to Moling that day, why didn't you go? My aunt was half frozen to death in Moling." Shen Huimin suddenly jumped up from the edge of the bed and pointed
As Zhou Sen cursed, he suddenly realized that his voice was too loud, so he quickly covered his mouth and lowered his voice.
"We agreed... when did we agree?" Zhou Sen looked innocent.
"Ah...I, I...didn't I give you a paper dragonfly?" Shen Huimin said angrily.
"But, I didn't promise you."
"..." Shen Huimin was suddenly speechless.
"Miss, it's quiet at night, and it's not good to spread the word about this lonely man and a widowed woman..."
"Hmph, I'm not afraid of a girl, so what are you afraid of?!" Shen Huimin spat at Zhou Sen.
"..." This time, it was Zhou Sen's turn to have nothing to say.
"Zhou Sen, accompany me to Moling to catch the Moling Snow Leopard." Shen Huimin said straight to the point.
"Miss, Mo Ling is too far away. It's freezing in this cold weather and you'll freeze to death if you climb the mountain to Mo Ling." Zhou Sen said with a bitter smile.
"Who said we have to climb a mountain? I have a flying sword." Shen Huimin said proudly.
"I'm not going." Zhou Sen was too lazy to argue with Shen Huimin and refused directly.
"Humph, it's not up to you. Let me tell you, you are not yet a member of our Shen family. I can kick you out at any time."
"Then Miss, it's better to drive me out." Zhou Sen would naturally not be threatened by a little girl, and he also knew that it would not be easy for Shen Huimin to drive him away.
"Ouch, you're quite tough! Tsk tsk... Don't think I can't do anything to you. Let me tell you, you are a wanted criminal on the list of villains..." Shen Huimin threatened darkly.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Zhou Sen made a decision immediately. Now, Zhou Sen especially wanted to know what the relationship between his identity as a gangster and this girl was.
"That's pretty much it. Don't worry, I will help you keep this secret. By the way, I almost forgot, my dad said that you are daring and extremely dangerous. If you tell me not to get close to you, will you kill me to silence me?
?" Shen Huimin looked at Zhou Sen with a worried look.
"No, how could I kill the young lady?" Zhou Sen was struck in his mind. Although he was shocked, his expression remained unchanged.
"That's good, I believe you. I think if I just ask you to accompany me to find the Moling Snow Leopard, you won't kill me to silence me, right?" Shen Huimin was still a little worried and looked at Zhou Sen with a suspicious look on her face.
"The young lady is beautiful and has a bodhisattva heart. How could a villain have murderous intentions? Besides, the young lady can control a flying sword. If the villain does anything bad to the young lady, then he is seeking his own death." Zhou Sen's murderous intention that just arose disappeared into thin air.
Obviously, Shen Wan has noticed him. If something unexpected happens to Shen Huimin, he will definitely be the first to think of him. At present, he is getting along well with the Shen family. It is really impossible to hide his traces. He can also choose to escape. There is no need to offend him.
A person with superpowers like Shen Wan. Of course, deep down in his heart, Zhou Sen still didn't want to kill an innocent girl with whom he had no grudges.
"That's fine, okay, let's go." Shen Huimin took out the small black gold sword from the scabbard, put it on the ground and said: "I'll step in front, you step in behind... Hey, don't touch me... Okay.
