Zhang Xiaozu threw the unconscious Zhang Shan to the ground like trash, then he raised his hands towards the hay shed and said: "End the challenge."
The ring manager was so covetous of Zhang Xiaopou's bone knife that he even had the idea of being greedy. However, in full view of everyone, he did not dare to act like a bandit and take Zhang Xiaopou's bone knife by force. Otherwise, he would be destroying his own brand, and no one would dare to bet anything valuable.
Baby takes the stage to challenge.
So Zhang Xiaozu announced the end of the challenge. Although he was unwilling to do so, he had to grit his teeth and declare: "The challenger Zhang Xiaozu has won four games in a row and won two buckets of water. In addition, our players blatantly violated the rules of the arena, causing panic and panic to the challenger.
It’s troublesome. I deeply apologize to Mr. Zhang for this and offer two buckets of clean water as compensation. I hope Mr. Zhang will be considerate.”
This person does have some courage and scheming. Since Zhang Xiaozu has already settled down to challenge and win in the arena, he might as well give Zhang Xiaozu two more buckets of water to wash away the negative impact caused by Zhang Shan.
As he expected, as soon as he finished speaking, the crowd under the ring burst into cheers and many words of praise.
But Zhang Xiaozhu didn't feel any gratitude in his heart. He just casually raised his hand to the ring manager. In his opinion, the ring manager was fully capable of stopping Zhang Shan, but he did not do so. Instead, he allowed Zhang Shan to go crazy.
.If Zhang Xiaopeng was not strong enough, he would probably be dead by now, even Niu Dawa would not be spared.
Again, truth always stands with the strong. The ring manager is strong, so whatever he says is right. If Zhang Xiaozu has the strength to crush the ring manager, then it is reasonable for him to ask the ring manager to pay all the money as compensation.
of.
Someone offered four buckets of water and put them in front of Zhang Xiaopeng, and a notary returned the bone knife.
Zhang Xiaozu took back the bone knife and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the other party would act rogue.
"Sir, please clean my brother's wound." Zhang Xiaozu did not dare to delay, and quickly brought the water to Lu Kaixue and asked.
"Oh, okay." Lu Kaixue resisted the urge to plunge his head into the bucket and drink. He nodded in agreement, took off the arm slung over his shoulder, took out an object wrapped in cowhide, and spread it out.
Inside the wrapped cowhide were two small, sharp knives. He also took out two small porcelain bottles from his arms and said, "His wound has become ulcerated and rotten. You must use a knife to cut out all the rotten flesh and then apply it."
Apply muscle-building powder and styptic powder to bandage it. Well, I have muscle-building powder and styptic powder. Although these bandages are a bit old, they are all clean."
As he spoke, he waved two small bottles of medicinal powder and bandages in front of Zhang Xiaozu's eyes. He was a shrewd man, and he was telling Zhang Xiaozu that these were his things without leaving any trace, so as to increase the chance that Niu Dawa would be dealt with later.
After suffering the wound, he asked Zhang Xiaozhu for chips to drink water.
Although he knew that it was completely unnecessary for him to do so, because he had already roughly figured out Zhang Xiaozhu's temperament and knew that he was a kind-hearted, affectionate and righteous young man who would repay kindness. As long as he treated Niu Dawa's wounds with all his heart, he
, Zhang Xiaozu would be very grateful to him. Not to mention just asking for a few drinks, even if he asked for a whole bucket of water, he believed that Zhang Xiaozu would give it to him without hesitation.
But he was shrewd and used to do it habitually. If something unpleasant happened, it would be nice to have an explanation.
Lu Kaixue ordered Zhang Xiaopou to move a wide, flat board from the collapsed arena and place Niu Dawa on it.
When everything was ready, Lu Kaixue unbuttoned Niu Dawa's clothes, and immediately a pungent rotten smell wafted out.
The onlookers couldn't help but pinch their noses and step back in disgust.
Zhang Xiaozhu's eyes were red and he couldn't bear to look directly.
Lu Kaixue carefully untied the rags that had been bandaged on Niu Dawa's body, but the rotten meat had already stuck to the rags. Large pieces of rotten meat were brought down by the cloths. Thick water flowed across the body, and the stench hit his nostrils.
Lu Kaixue only opened a wound, then picked up a sharp knife and cut the carrion from the wound down. His hand holding the knife was very steady and his technique was very skilled. It was obvious that he had dealt with this kind of situation many times before.
Wow
After gouging out all the rotten flesh, Lu Kaixue immediately took some water from the bucket and cleaned Niu Dawa's wound, then skillfully applied hemostatic powder and myogenic powder, and then carefully bandaged it.
"Stop!" Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted loudly. Listening to his voice, he seemed very angry.
Lu Kaixue was about to treat Niu Dawa's next wound when he was startled by the sudden scolding. He thought there was something wrong with his treatment method. He hurriedly followed the sound and saw an old man with neat clothes and long beard and white hair.
He walked out of the crowd with a straight face, stood up in a hurry, saluted, and said respectfully: "This junior is not very good at my skills. I don't know where I handled it improperly. Please give me some advice from the old gentleman."
Zhang Xiaozhu also had the same idea as Lu Kaixue. He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully. He said in a respectful tone: "Junior Zhang Xiaozhu has met the old gentleman. My brother is seriously injured and his life is in danger. I beg the old gentleman to use his wonderful rejuvenation technique. Big
Thank you for your kindness, we two brothers have no teeth and dare not forget it."
bang bang bang
Unexpectedly, the old man seemed to be unable to control his anger. He actually raised the crutch in his hand and hit Zhang Xiaozu and Lu Kaixue on their heads and faces. He hit them six or seven times before angrily cursing: "I'll beat you two ungrateful bitches to death."
"
Zhang Xiaozu and Lu Kaixue looked at each other, not knowing why. They thought they had made a big mistake, and for a moment they only dared to raise their arms to resist the old man's crutches, not daring to resist.
"He is obviously a dying man, yet you are wasting so much time on him."
"You two look up and see how many poor people are suffering from hunger and thirst, how much they are craving for a drink of water."
"Did you know that a sip of water might keep them alive?"
"You are wasting water on a dying person, why can't you look up and see the people who are still alive?"
"Is it the living or the dead who are more important?"
"I'm really angry!"
"I'll beat you two to death, you two ignorant, ungrateful bastards!"
The old man cursed angrily and beat him with a cane.
Zhang Xiaozu and Lu Kaixue finally understood, and their respect for the old man instantly disappeared.
Lu Kaixue grabbed the walking stick that was being whipped and shouted: "Old guy, are you old and confused? This little brother came to the ring and risked his life to get this clear water back. You can use it as you like, it's none of your business. If you have the ability, you can
Go talk to those guys who are doing the wrestling, and ask them to share the water, rice, noodles and steamed buns with everyone. Hey, who is this Lao Bujiu who ran away because he didn't like it? Take it back quickly, otherwise don't blame me.
You're welcome."
No one in the crowd responded, but someone shouted: "The old man is right, you should not waste life-saving water on a dying person."
"Yes, the dead are not as important as the living. We should be given water to drink."
"Learn more from that one-armed young man, look at him and share all the winning points."
"Give us the water."
"Don't waste water on dead people."
"You can't be so selfish!"
The crowd was in a frenzy, shouting and cheering one after another, and the crowd was excited and connected. Some people even crowded up and tried to grab the water.
Zhang Xiaozu laughed angrily.
If this water is a public resource, he has nothing to say. But this water is his own. It is his private property. How to use it and where to use it are none of these people's business.
Furthermore, even if Niu Dawa is really hopeless, he will use the water to clean Niu Dawa's body so that he can leave cleanly.
Besides, Niu Dawa can still be saved.
Just like Lu Kaixue said, if you are able, tell these great principles to the people who set up the gambling competition. They not only have water, but also rice, noodles, steamed buns, meat, and money. Ask them to donate all the supplies.
We are all poor people who are on the run, so why bother the poor people?
Or do you think Zhang Xiaopeng is easy to bully?
Do you only pick soft persimmons?
Can you be unreasonable when you are older?
The more Zhang Xiaopou thought about it, the angrier he became. A violent aura spread out from his body. He took a step forward, stood in front of the bucket, stood with his sword horizontally, and said word by word: "I will kill anyone who dares to grab the water! But!
Dare to give it a try?"
"This violent aura is really terrifying. It's like a wild beast." Zhou Jianlai could feel the violent aura emanating from Zhang Xiaozu's body, and couldn't help but be speechless. He felt that if he didn't tell him in advance and let him blindfolded just feel Zhang Xiaozu's aura, he would
You would definitely think it was the scent of a ferocious monster.
Zhang Xiaozu's strong response made the restless crowd quiet down slightly, but some people were still shouting, and the mood of the crowd immediately became violent again.
"Sir, please feel free to clean my brother's wound. I will take care of the other matters and ensure that no one will disturb you." Zhang Xiaozu said to Lu Kaixue.
"Okay." Lu Kaixue nodded, let go of the old man's crutch, squatted down and continued to clean Niu Dawa's wound.
"I don't believe you dare to kill people in broad daylight!" A man raised his eyebrows and yelled at Zhang Xiaozu, and almost poked Zhang Xiaozu's nose with his finger.
After shouting, he stepped forward and reached for the bucket.
"Why bother forcing me?" Zhang Xiaozhu looked gloomy. They were all poor people who had fled, and he really didn't want to do anything to them. But if he wasn't ruthless and decisive, the situation would be difficult to control.
With a flick of his wrist, he placed the blade of the bone knife on the man's neck and said: "This is the water that will save my brother's life. You can't take it away. If you move forward even an inch, I will kill you. I can tell you something
Wherever there is water, you can just go get it yourself."
As soon as the last words were spoken, the crowd fell silent for a moment, but then roared with excitement.
"Young man, where is the water?"
"Zhang Shaoxia, my wife and children are dying of thirst. Please tell me where there is water."
"Young man"
Everyone stared at Zhang Xiaopou with their eyes widened and their ears raised high, for fear of missing a word.
The old man on a crutch also stroked his beard and said: "Young man, if you can really lead everyone to find the source of water, it will be a great meritorious service that saves the lives of tens of millions of people. You should have a seat at the seat of the Western Bliss Bodhisattva."
Zhang Xiaozhu was deeply resentful of the old man and ignored him at all. He glanced at the crowd and said: "Go along this road for thirty miles, then go all the way to the west and climb over about twenty-five mountains. You will see
When you reach a high mountain with two peaks, there is a dry river under the southern cliff of the mountain. The river flows out of an underground river cave. You can walk all the way in along the dry river cave. It will take about ten days.
distance, you can"
"Bah! You're fooling a fool!" Before Zhang Xiaozhu could finish his words, he was interrupted by a man grabbing water. He sneered and said: "You just want to deceive us by making random accusations. Do you think we are fools? You often think we are fools.
You have to walk thirty miles north, climb twenty-five more mountains, and walk along the cave for ten days. You are really vicious. You just randomly tricked us into going to a place and left us to die of exhaustion in the mountains."
"You can't teach a child! You can't teach a child!" the old man on a crutch said angrily, trembling.
"It must be a lie. If there is really water, why would he fight for it here?"
"Yes, he's a liar. Don't believe him, guys."
"You have to give me the water today, whether you give it to me or not." The man grabbing the water sneered. After saying that, he ignored the bone knife in front of him and reached out to pick up the water.
Zhou Jianlai looked at Zhang Xiaopou, shook his head, and said to himself: "There is no reason to argue with this group of people. Only thunderous means can frighten everyone."
"Nothing can stop your determination to die, so I will help you." Zhang Xiaopou sighed, cut off the man's throat with a single stroke of his bone knife, then kicked him away, and said:
"Don't stain your blood with water."
"Kill people!"
There was a scream of terror, and then the crowd retreated with a crash, all looking at Zhang Xiaopou in horror.
Zhang Xiaozhu looked cold, glanced at the crowd, and said quietly: "In my heart, the lives of all of you put together are not worth the life of my brother. So, don't push me. If you push me, I will really kill people.
"Four buckets of clean water, I will ask the gentleman to use it as sparingly as possible, and I can share the rest with you, but before that, please keep quiet."
"Ruzi!" The old man on crutches was about to scream out in pain, but the bone knife in Zhang Xiaozu's hand was placed directly on his neck, and his voice suddenly stopped.
Zhang Xiaozhu stared into the old man's eyes and said word by word: "If I hear you say another word, I will kill you!"
The old man on a crutch had an old face that was swollen to the color of pig liver, and his body was shaking with anger, but in the end he did not dare to say another word.
It can be seen that his righteousness and plausibility are nothing more than a joke when the knife is put to his neck.
