Jiang Ming didn't know it yet, but because of his caution, he had inadvertently avoided a trouble.
He was humming a little tune and walking on the way back to the mountain. He was in a good mood and was already imagining how to build a house and where to dig the vegetable fields.
After all, no matter where you go, the desire to "build a yard, dig a garden, and plant seedlings" in the heart of a flower grower is unavoidable...
"Um?"
Jiang Ming's footsteps suddenly stopped, and trouble seemed to be coming.
It was dark at this time, and there was a forest on both sides of the road. The shadows of the trees were dark, like a black abyss.
But Jiang Ming had already sensed blood energy, and his five senses were much sharper. He could hear some abnormal subtle sounds behind the shadows of the trees.
"Boy, you are so vigilant."
A slightly familiar voice sounded, and several figures jumped out from both sides of the road, three in front and two behind him, blocking him on the road.
Jiang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at these people: "Are you... those people who collect mountain goods?"
A few of them were actually the vendors who bought his mushrooms in the market in the morning.
However, at this time, they all held bright iron swords in their hands, obviously coming to kill people.
"Still not cautious enough..." Jiang Ming sighed. The fact that these people were able to chase him out of the city to kill him meant that he must have been exposed somewhere.
"But, you really shouldn't come." Jiang Ming sighed incomprehensibly.
He likes to keep quiet and doesn't like to cause trouble... But if he really encounters this kind of trouble today, there is only one way to deal with it.
Because even if he pays money and pretends to be cowardly, it will not change the fact that these people have discovered that there is something wrong with him...
If they survived tonight, they would only bring him more trouble.
"Boy, you're quite crazy!" the leader said with a calm smile, but there was a scornful light in his eyes, as if he was looking at a lamb in a cage waiting to be slaughtered: "Leave everything behind, take off all your clothes...and then I'll ask you a few questions.
Let you go."
This kind of calmness is not pretended. They have been hiding in the city and mountains all year round, and have done all kinds of shady things. Robbery of such lone fat sheep is just a common occurrence.
As for letting you go... of course they are telling lies with open eyes. They have never left anyone alive in this business.
The other vendors immediately laughed jokingly and surrounded him with long knives.
"I'll give you everything, but I also want to ask a question." Jiang Ming seemed to be frightened. He quickly put down the medicine basket, took out a few strings of copper coins from his arms and threw them on the ground, and then asked curiously:
"How do you know I still have money?"
"Don't pretend to be stupid with me!" The leading vendor glanced at the strings of copper coins and sneered: "The hazel mushrooms you picked all have silver and white patterns. They only grow deep in the mountains and forests. Ordinary mountain pickers can't pick them at all...
…Tell me the safe route for picking mushrooms, and I’ll give you a way to survive, otherwise… hum…”
He was shaking his long knife and had a fierce look in his eyes.
In the eyes of these traders, Jiang Ming must have been lucky enough to find a safe route to go deep into the mountains and pick the best quality hazel mushrooms.
The price of this kind of hazelnut mushroom is several times that of ordinary hazelnut mushroom. Now is the peak growing season. If they have such a route, they will not be completely developed...
"Oh I got it."
Jiang Ming suddenly realized that his mind was indeed as separated as a mountain. He was very familiar with picking herbs, but he knew nothing about picking mushrooms, and he didn't pay attention to these differences at all.
"But... you have misunderstood one thing!" Jiang Ming figured out the truth and stopped pretending. He smiled and said, "I did not rely on a safe route to pick mushrooms. You have wasted your efforts."
"If you don't eat the toast, you'll have to drink it as a penalty!" The merchants yelled and cursed, and they rushed forward with long knives. First, two knives flashed past, staggering and slashing at Jiang Ming's arms.
Until this moment, they were still playing tricks on themselves, hoping to force Jiang Ming to reveal a safe route...
Jiang Ming's eyes were calm, and he rushed forward suddenly. His upper body leaned back like a spring, and after avoiding the light of the sword, he suddenly straightened up. His punch was as fast as lightning, and he hit the person's neck hard.
With a "click" sound, the man's head immediately tilted away, his body flew out like a rotten sack, and he died before he even hit the ground.
The vendor's eyes were still wide open, and his mouth and nose were bleeding continuously. It seemed that he still couldn't believe that he had been killed with one punch by someone he regarded as a fat sheep.
At the same time, Jiang Ming had already jumped back, picked up the ax he had just bought from the medicine basket, and stood as tall as a pine tree.
"Something's wrong, kill him quickly!" This sudden turn of events made the leading vendor panic and angry, and he immediately roared sharply.
"Fuck, little bastard!"
The four people came from behind and at the same time, and as the strong wind roared, the four long knives seemed to form a net of knives, and they hooded their heads towards Jiang Ming.
During the battle, Jiang Ming's understanding of Fuhu Fist seemed to have become much more profound in an instant.
The body is like a tiger, and the sword and ax are also extensions of the body!
At this moment, the ax seemed to suddenly become spiritual, bypassing a long knife that was about to block.
Phew~
The ax was so powerful that it slashed directly through the chest and abdomen of a merchant, bringing with it a large amount of blood and broken bones.
A hole was immediately torn open in the man's chest, and blood flowed like a pillar. His hot heart was still beating in his chest, but his body fell to the ground limply, motionless.
"Fuck, fourth child!"
"This kid has practiced martial arts!"
There was a burst of confused exclamations, and the leading vendor's face became even more gloomy. He no longer had the calm and carefree mood at the beginning. Today they had killed a fat sheep on the head of a tiger.
Jiang Ming also had two scars on his arms and back, staining his clothes blood red, but he didn't care and shouted: "Come on!"
"He's injured...get it!" the leader of the trader yelled angrily. Tonight, two people were killed for a fat sheep. It was really a big loss.
However, just over ten breaths later...
When the third person's head was chopped off and fell to the ground, the leading merchant and the only other person had frightened expressions on their faces.
"Why...why don't you die?"
He looked at the long knife stuck in Jiang Ming's belly with a look of horror on his face.
Jiang Ming sighed: "Your shortcoming is that your eyes are too sharp..."
"Ah..." The other person was completely frightened and fell to the ground with the blade in his hand, turned around and ran away.
"Run now...it's too late!" Jiang Ming pulled out the long knife from his stomach, threw it out, pierced the chest of the escaping man, and nailed him to a big tree.
The five-man gang that had just been organized to steal money, in the blink of an eye, only the leader of the merchant was left. He fell to the ground in fright, saying incoherently: "Don't, don't kill me... I won't tell anyone..."
Jiang Ming's eyes remained calm: "From the moment you came to me, there was only one ending to this matter."
Phew~
The ax struck into his neck, and his begging for mercy stopped abruptly.
"Huh~ I was scared to death, I was almost exposed."
Jiang Ming took a long breath, looked at the five motionless people, and nodded with satisfaction:
"I can continue to survive..."
It’s so late… I’ll try my best to be early tomorrow!!
