Chapter 34 A bunch of copper coins

(1)

The snowy day came again, and the four people who had been trekking outside Cangzhou City for many days were unable to find a place to stay. They could only hide in the forest against the wind and snow, and managed to catch their breath through dead branches and decayed trees, but there was no other way.

"Brother, look!" Yu Ke tried his best to open his eyes and found a glimmer of light in the vast wind and snow. "Is there a place where I can hide for a while?"

"It's a cave!" Bai Feng was overjoyed: "Quick, lead the horse there."

They settled their horses and walked into the cave. They were surprised to find that the place was well arranged and all kinds of daily necessities were available. When they took a closer look, they saw candle wicks, pots and pans, various heating stoves, and animal skins.

The finished blankets all have traces of use.

Bai Feng said: "This should be a temporary residence for hunters in the mountains. You see, that shelf is used to place hunting bows. We will stay here for a while and see if we can wait until the master comes back..."

Yu Ke then used Orion's kitchen utensils to make a pot of hot soup, which was just enough for each person to have a bowl. The smallest one left the smallest portion for herself, and then wolfed down the soup.

Since she had been strictly supervised since she was a child, Yu Ke had never really had freedom whether it was eating or other matters. Of course she wanted to eat more, but she felt that eating less was natural.

"I don't know how to do anything. Eating too much is a waste of food..." She struggled with this.

She was such a simple girl, she didn't hide her desire at all, she held up her chin with dirty hands, stared at the food in other people's hands, and kept making swallowing movements.

"Someone is coming!" Bai Feng put down the bowl and chopsticks, and walked to the entrance of the cave as quickly as a snake. When the footsteps approached, the long sword was unsheathed, and in the blink of an eye, the person was held hostage in front of him, "Say, who are you?

?”

"This... this is my home!" Orion raised his hands and said in surprise: "Who are you? I haven't offended anyone, right?"

Bai Feng asked: "Are you the owner of this cave?"

"Yes... yes, heroes, you want to rest, please do so!" Orion pushed away the sword that was against his vitals, and then said: "Did you know that there is a 'giant bear' eating people nearby? The government

The bounty of 100 taels allowed us hunters to go up the mountain to hunt bears. It has been more than a month now, and we have not found any trace of the 'giant bear'."

"Oh?" Bai Feng was a little curious, and immediately reduced his hostility, sheathed his sword, and continued: "I don't know your name?"

"Heroes, just call me Lao San." Orion said: "I see that you all seem to be skilled in martial arts. I wonder if you can hunt bears with me? If you succeed, I am willing to share the bounty equally with you all!"

When Ayu heard about the opportunity to make money, he immediately jumped out and replied: "If you can make money, that would be great!"

Bai Feng and Lao San said, "I'll just go with you."

"Brother Bai, how about I come too?" Fu Wentao was a little worried and said, "It might be difficult for you two to subdue a 'mountain giant bear' alone, right?"

"Brother Fu, just rest here and have a good rest. I'll come back as soon as I go." As soon as Bai Feng finished speaking, the third child agreed: "Yes, this hero has extraordinary abilities. I think he must have a clever trick. The three of you can

Rest assured here, everyone can enjoy everything here, just remember not to go out casually."

Before leaving, Bai Feng did not forget to warn Yu Ke: "Ake, you are still growing. If you feel you are not full, you can eat more. You don't need to be the same as before."

Yu Ke had tears in his eyes when he heard this. After Bai Feng left with the third Orion, he immediately picked up the hot soup left by the young man. He was surprised to find that Bai Feng barely drank a sip, and then started to devour it, making others laugh.

.

However, the good times did not last long. It was clearly not night yet, and the three of them suddenly began to feel tired and lethargic. After a while, they all fell down.

When they woke up, all three of them had their shoes taken off and their bodies tightly bound, huddled together unable to move. Next to them, two strangers were tossing and turning, looking for something.

"Boss, there's still nothing here!"

"Second child, did that fellow third child deceive us this time? It's just such a small amount of money, even a dental gift is not enough."

"Hey, how about taking those two women back?"

Fu Wentao was the first to be alert and asked: "Who are you! The third child, is it the Orion just now?"

"Hey, is this one-armed guy awake?" The tall and skinny thief known as Lao Er walked over, kicked Fu Wentao in the face, and asked, "Do you have anything else on you?"

"Did you put drugs in the food?" Fu Wentao looked at the leftovers in the distance and asked.

The thief boss said: "No, no, no, we have smeared everything here with a unique drug, which is colorless and odorless. Passers-by who are blocked by the wind and snow outside can only walk in and they will not be able to go out again!"

He straightened his black eyepatch and showed his one eye, then walked to Fu Wentao and dragged Ayu out, collecting items from her body wantonly.

"What are you doing? That's my grandfather's thing!" Ayu bit and kicked the thief and struggled for a long time.

Fu Wentao was furious and roared: "Ayu!"

At this moment, Yu Ke suddenly realized that the thief had not restrained her hands firmly. Thanks to her unusually thin body, she skillfully broke free from the restraints.

"Ake?" Fu Wentao noticed such a strange phenomenon and whispered: "Escape quickly and call Brother Bai back. I can handle it here."

"Yeah!" After saying that, Yu Ke ran away with bare feet.

"Boss, that girl ran away!"

"Hurry up and chase, you idiot!"

Yu Ke shouted while running: "Brother, come and save us!"

Walking barefoot on the snow was obviously not as good as the thief's skill. After a while, Yu Ke lost feeling in his feet and fell to the ground. The guy rushed forward like a wolf and a tiger, and raised and lowered his hands to no avail, but

Hearing a sound of wind, a silver light flashed, and a flying knife went straight into his throat.

"Hey! Yeah!" Bai Feng was seen galloping over with his sword raised, and he took the head of the bandit directly. Blood spattered seven feet on the spot. Yu Ke screamed in fright and fainted on the spot.

That night, Yu Ke woke up from a dream and saw Bai Feng keeping vigil as usual, and asked: "Brother, what happened today? I am getting more and more confused..."

"There is no such thing as a 'giant bear' that eats people. What really eats people is people."

After Bai Feng spoke, he sent a wonderful object to Yu Ke and said: "Although this string of copper coins is not a precious thing, wearing it on your body can be regarded as a warning to yourself - starting from tomorrow, you have to practice with me.

The sword is not for anything else, just to enable you to find your mother as soon as possible. When you feel that your swordsmanship and intelligence have improved, you will take away one of the copper coins until you take away the fifth copper coin.

Until now, you have to listen to me, okay?"

"Practice sword?" Yu Ke looked at the bunch of copper coins in his hand in disbelief, and replied: "I don't understand, why are you always so weird, brother-in-law? Me, practice sword?"

Bai Feng looked at Fu Wentao and Ayu who were sleeping soundly not far away, and said with a smile: "Tell me, what's strange about me?"

"You are so good to me, but why are you killing people along the way?" Yu Ke felt a sickening chill suddenly gripping her. She recalled the moment when the thief's head fell to the ground, and the blood was spread on the snow.

Above: "I thought my adopted brother was a very good person, but he was always doing murderous things. I felt so scared..."

The young swordsman caressed the tears on Yu Ke's cheeks and consoled him: "I think that treating friends and family should be as warm as spring; and treating bandits and robbers should be more ruthless than this cold winter. This

The three thieves are, and so is the eldest son of Cangzhou Li Mansion... They are all my enemies."

Yu Ke followed the sound and saw three blood cells wrapped in cloth not far away. He didn't dare to think too much and quickly turned his eyes towards Bai Feng.

"Who is the enemy?"

Bai Feng said: "You will understand it later."

"It's getting late, we have to go to the town to receive the reward tomorrow!" After saying that, he tied the string of copper coins around Yu Ke's waist and urged her to rest.
