Chapter 15 The little woman can bend and stretch
Zhang Wanshan stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears and turned to look at the little boy, "You should go back quickly and tell your grandma to pack your things and leave Jiuyang Village, lest Zhao Erniu get angry with you two and vent his anger on you."
"Oh, okay." The little boy shrank his neck in fright, quickly agreed, raised his legs and ran towards the door.
Gu Chan came to her senses and waved to him, "Don't go. You can help me take care of grandpa here. I'll go out and be back soon."
"Ah? What are you doing out there?" The little boy was puzzled.
Gu Chan didn't say anything, she just stood up and walked out silently.
The little boy stood at the door with a troubled face, not knowing whether to leave or stay. In the end, he chose to listen to Gu Chan and stay to help her take care of his grandfather temporarily.
Zhao Erniu's house on the other side.
At this time, Zhao Erniu and four others were sitting around in the yard, each holding an egg in their hands and rolling it on their red and swollen faces to reduce swelling.
The three scoundrels cursed angrily.
"This little bastard is cuddling up to an official. It will be difficult to deal with her in the future."
"The thighs of an official are so huggable. Didn't you hear that the county magistrate wanted to get the spiritual herbs from her?"
"That's true. Spiritual grass is so easy to find. If she can't deliver it, her life will be at risk sooner or later."
Zhao Erniu nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and shouted angrily with a sullen face, "You brat, I will let you be arrogant for a few more days. If you fail to deliver the spiritual grass later, the county magistrate will blame you, and I will be the first to deal with you."
"Bang!"
As soon as Zhao Erniu finished speaking, the closed courtyard door was kicked open from the outside with a bang.
Gu Chan had a gloomy little face and slowly walked in from the outside step by step.
Zhao Erniu and the four others were so frightened that they all trembled and dropped the eggs they were using to spread their faces to the ground.
Zhao Erniu glared at Gu Chan and shouted, "What else do you want? Didn't we just beat us and let it go as promised? Why did you come to my house again?"
"Boss, this kid knows physical skills, why don't we run away!" Goujizi said tremblingly.
Zhao Erniu swallowed hard and pretended to stand up and lead the three of them away.
Unexpectedly, an extremely surprising scene occurred at this time.
Gu Chan walked up to the four of them and suddenly bowed to Zhao Erniu with her fists clasped, "Master, please bow to me, my disciple."
"Ah?" Zhao Erniu was dumbfounded!
The three younger brothers also stood there, their mouths wide open in shock.
It was obvious that Gu Chan had just made such a fuss with them, so why had she changed so much not so long ago?
Gu Chan lowered his head and said with a cold face, "I came here with sincerity. I just hope that after I become a disciple, you will not cause trouble to the old lady and the two of them."
Zhao Erniu calmed down and reached out to touch his chin, "You came here to bow to me just for them?"
"Not only that, I also want you to teach me how to hunt. I will definitely go into the mountains to find spiritual herbs in the future. But with my current ability, if I go into the mountains and encounter ordinary mysterious beasts, I will still be able to defeat them. , but I’m afraid it won’t work if you encounter the spiritual beast that protects the spiritual grass.”
Gu Chan did not hesitate and explained her thoughts.
On the way here, she had already figured out that if she didn't learn to bow her head now, not only would she and Zhang Wanshan be harmed, but the little boy and the old woman might not be safe either.
The most important thing is that she does not have the ability to go into the mountains to hunt. She must learn the skills before she dares to go into the mountains.
Otherwise, once you venture into the mountains, it will be too late to regret if something happens.
Zhao Erniu put down his guard and asked curiously, "Didn't you give Shopkeeper Zhou half a spiritual grass this morning? Why, you have no more spiritual grass?" "The county magistrate asked me to send a spiritual grass to the Yamen in three days. I No matter how much spiritual grass I have, it’s not enough!”
"Hmph! He is really darker than us. I just want to teach you a lesson and convince you, but he is just trying to treat you like a dog." Zhao Erniu snorted coldly, with a little more sarcasm in his words. mean.
In fact, from the beginning, he didn't want Gu Chan's life. He just thought that she had the talent to practice physical skills and wanted to accept her as his apprentice, and then he would also benefit from it.
It was only later that Gu Chanlao turned against him, which made him feel disgusted.
Compared to the county magistrate, he is more conscientious.
Gu Chan obviously understood these principles, otherwise she wouldn't have come over and bowed her head at this moment.
Not wanting to waste any more time here, Gu Chan raised her head and looked directly at Zhao Erniu, "Just say whether you want to accept it or not! Anyway, I have already recognized the reality, and there is no need to fight you to the death anymore."
"After you learn the skill of hunting, you won't come back to deal with us, right?" Zhao Erniu was very thoughtful.
Gu Chan smiled disdainfully, "By then, I will no longer be interested in you. What I want to fight is not you, but that greedy county magistrate."
"Good boy, you are brave enough and have the guts!" Zhao Erniu instantly raised his thumb at Gu Chan.
At this moment, he actually felt a sense of awe for the delicate child in front of him.
As the saying goes, people don't fight with officials, let alone untouchables in a small village like them.
But Gu Chan is different from everyone else. Not only does she dare to speak and act, she also has a chivalrous spirit that hates evil as much as she hates it.
This has to be admirable.
At that moment, Zhao Erniu waved his hand and said cheerfully, "Okay, I will accept you as my disciple today. From now on, you and I will be master and disciple, and all previous grievances will be wiped out."
"Thank you, Master. I will come to you tomorrow to learn my skills." Gu Chan cupped her fists and bowed.
After saying that, she turned around and left without looking back.
A younger brother came up and whispered in Zhao Erniu's ear, "Boss, how about we trick him into the woods tomorrow and give him a good beating to relieve his anger."
"Crack!"
Zhao Erniu couldn't help but raised his hand and slapped him.
The younger brother looked aggrieved, covered his face with his hands and asked, "Boss, why did you hit me?"
"Things that are worthless are all worthless things. How can he be so small-minded? Look at him. He is only ten years old and yet he has the courage to fight with officials. How can we, adults in our thirties and forties, do the same? How about meeting a child again?"
"This...this is true..." The younger brother's face turned red after being scolded, and he was very embarrassed.
Zhao Erniu stopped talking nonsense with them and just looked at the door with a smile on his face. He was still looking forward to Gu Chan coming to him tomorrow to learn his skills.
After dark, Gu Chan returned home.
When the little boy saw that she had come back safe and sound, the little boy breathed a sigh of relief and rushed forward to her and said, "It will be good if you come back. Then I will go back to accompany grandma first."
"You don't have to say anything when you go back soon. You can continue to live well in the village. I guarantee that Zhao Erniu and the others will not trouble you two again."
"You went to find Zhao Erniu and the others?" the little boy was confused.
Gu Chan nodded quietly.
The little boy looked at her with eyes wide open for a moment, and the word "adoration" appeared on his face.
At this moment, he thought that Gu Chang just went to Zhao Erniu's house and beat them up again!
