"Brother Xiong, it doesn't matter if you're injured, right? You've done your best for everyone. It's not a shame to lose to Chen Tie. In the future, when we become stronger, we will definitely get back our money and profits from him."
"Xiaohu is right. Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. Wherever we fall, we will stand up. Brother Xiong, don't be discouraged."
Everyone comforted Brother Xiong with their words. They had been with Brother Xiong day and night for many years and knew his temper well. They were afraid that he would not recover after being defeated by Chen Tie this time.
From now on, everyone will have to follow him to hunt outside the city. It will be extremely dangerous if there is no strong martial artist accompanying the team.
In the past, those warriors would team up to hunt outside the city, and when they came back, they would often suffer heavy casualties. How many people paid the price with their lives for the well water that kept them alive.
It wasn't until Brother Xiong appeared that the tragedy began to change. At least he didn't have to pay such a high price in exchange for a sip of water.
"Here." Qin Tian handed the water given by Chen Tie to Jia Ling and said, "Thank you for your help last night. Please accept this water."
Jia Ling had no expression on her face. She glanced at Qin Tian and then at the full pot of water in his hand. Then she decisively pushed Qin Tian's hand away and said in a cold tone, "No need, yesterday.
It's just a small effort to be late, and besides, Baili ran away because of you, so we are even, we don't owe each other anything..."
Jia Ling's words and attitude were a bit difficult for Qin Tian to understand. Her attitude was not like this before Chen Tie came. Just now, her attitude has completely changed 180 degrees.
After Jia Ling rejected Qin Tian's kindness, she helped Brother Xiong walk away, and the others quickly followed.
After walking more than ten steps and stopping, Jia Ling thought for a while, turned her face away from Qin Tian, and said, "Also, let me remind you that Chen Tie is a smiling tiger. If you want to make friends with such a person, please be careful.
.”
After saying that, Jia Ling helped Brother Xiong to leave without looking back. Qin Tian looked at their backs and then thought that Jia Ling was probably angry with him.
They had just accepted Chen Tie's gift and were chatting and laughing with him. In their view, Chen Tie had hurt their hero and was a heinous person. To associate with such a person was to go against them.
Originally, a group of them were grateful to this young man for standing up for them, but now, Chen Tie's efforts to win him over pushed Qin Tian into the pit of fire.
Although they didn't say much, it was easy to see the looming hostility in their eyes.
Qin Tian looked at the kettle in his hand and smiled helplessly. He did not expect that just because of a kettle of water, he would cause such a misunderstanding.
His original intention was just to reciprocate the favor. He knew the importance of this pot of water to them, so he didn't want to give it up in vain.
Since they don't appreciate or understand, Qin Tian doesn't want to explain too much. He always does things like this. He just wants to have a clear conscience. He will repay Jia Ling's kindness of giving water, but he is asked to patiently explain what just happened.
Can't do it.
"Sir, that boy doesn't look very old. Is it possible that his cultivation level is higher than yours?" One of his subordinates was a little confused about Chen Tie's humble performance just now. There were no outsiders at this time, and he couldn't help but feel what was in his heart.
He asked doubtfully.
"Hmph, you guys are too superficial. Although that boy is young, but have you observed carefully? His eyes are full of murderous aura. If you are not a person who often kills, you would not have such a bloody aura." Chen Tie
Then he analyzed, "This guy has an extraordinary temperament. He shows the aura of a superior person in every gesture and conversation. Even the city lord can't control this aura. Moreover, he has a ring on his hand. Based on the above points, I can conclude that
This person is definitely not someone to be trifled with, and there’s no telling which big family’s children came out to gain experience here!”
"Sir, you are really sharp-eyed and extremely smart. When you said this, it suddenly dawned on me. This guy is indeed extraordinary. Judging from this, he may really be a child of some family."
"But wouldn't it be too easy for Brother Xiong and his gang to let them go so easily?"
"Did I say let them go?" Chen Tie grinned, with a treacherous expression on his face, and then said, "I would rather lower my status than offend a person of unknown origin. Passers-by like him are not uncommon.
, He can't stay in Tucheng for a long time, as soon as he leaves, hehe..."
How could the wily Chen Tie let Brother Xiong escape from his control so easily? He could live comfortably in Tucheng only by exploiting those cultivators who went out to hunt.
There was only one Tucheng in Tuqiuzhou with water source. Chen Tie expected that Qin Tian would go to Tucheng to replenish supplies, and it would not be too late to settle the score with Brother Xiong and the others when he left.
Now it's just that because he doesn't know the details of Qin Tian, the cunning and cunning Chen Tie has always been cautious in his dealings with others.
As soon as he senses a hint of danger, he will be the first to run away. This is his way of survival. When he is strong, he will show weakness, and when he is weak, he will rely on strength. Only in this way can he be better exposed to risks.
"The adults are still thoughtful. Even if the little one has a few heads, he is still not one ten thousandth of yours!"
Amid the flattery of several of his subordinates, the group returned to Tucheng.
After Chen Tie and others, Xiongge and his gang also returned to Tucheng at the last moment when night fell.
The walls of the Tucheng are made of mud blocks and are only over three meters high. Even warriors can easily cross them.
There were only a few people who looked like soldiers guarding the city tower, and there were only six people standing at the city gate. The word "Tu" was engraved on their chests, front and back clothes. This made Qin Tian laugh and cry, because this word
It contains too many derogatory terms, such as country dog, country bumpkin, country bumpkin, etc. These are all derogatory to people.
Following Brother Xiong and his group, they came to the city. It was now dinner time. There were not many people on the narrow streets in the city. Every household lit candles and closed the door tightly. The first thing they saw when they came in was
Qin Tian was immediately dumbfounded.
No matter how many places he had traveled, he had never seen such a shabby and dirty place, with rubbish everywhere and the stench filling the sky.
Most of the houses are dilapidated, and the best ones are made of mud blocks. Even the worst town in Daning is much better than this one.
"I'll take Brother Xiong back first, and you can lead everyone to change the water back first."
Jialing was already sweating profusely while supporting Brother Xiong, who was quite heavy. She was very worried when she saw the extremely painful expression on Brother Xiong's face.
