Chapter 43

~8 min read 1,407 words

Wang Xiaoniu, who fell to the ground, didn't have time to get angry, and the person in front of him apologized repeatedly.

Looking at the person who was as thin as a stick, short in stature, and whose attitude was so humble, he must also be a bitter person, and the fire that had just risen in Wang Xiaoniu's heart was extinguished.

"You... you... walk slower."

"Yes yes yes, Big Brother is right, it's all my fault."

In this way, Wang Xiaoniu didn't pursue it anymore, turning to look for the sound.

Just don't know why, the sound just now didn't appear again; just when Wang Xiaoniu didn't know where to go, two people suddenly jumped out from behind and pressed him to the ground.

Wang Xiaoniu subconsciously reached for the firewood knife at his waist, but touched nothing.

"Let go of me, who are you?"

The two didn't speak, just pressed Wang Xiaoniu hard and walked forward.

What made Wang Xiaoniu feel ashamed was that he was taken down without even seeing what the other party looked like; saying it out was simply losing the face of Yangguangzhai.

When they arrived at a place where the bushes were particularly dense, one person behind shouted: "Captain, we brought the person."

The bushes in front were peeled away layer by layer, and Wang Xiaoniu finally saw clearly that many trees as thick as a bowl were broken, clearly cut from other places and buried in the soil here.

Even the road under his feet was specially covered with fallen leaves, creating the appearance of many bushes.

Passing through this camouflage forest, they arrived at an open terrain; at this moment, there was a simple kitchen built with stones on the open space, rising with wisps of cooking smoke.

Directly in front, there was a not-so-small cave, like the mountain opening its mouth wide, about to swallow everyone.

Wang Xiaoniu's expression changed from worry to joy in an instant; wasn't this the place he was looking for?

A burly man walked out of the cave, holding a bright big knife in his hand, glancing at Wang Xiaoniu sideways and not paying attention, instead shouting into the cave.

"Sister, dinner is about to burn."

A woman ran out of the cave in a hurry, still complaining in her mouth.

"If it burns, you don't know how to lift it, you only know how to open your mouth and shout!"

The two were Luo Feng and his sister; clearly being scolded by his sister, Luo Feng was a bit unhappy, so he decided to vent his anger on Wang Xiaoniu.

With a gloomy face, he walked to Wang Xiaoniu and questioned: "Who are you? What are you doing up the mountain?"

People kept walking out of the grass, and plus the burly man, there were ten people in total, surrounding Wang Xiaoniu in the middle.

Wang Xiaoniu looked closely, and the person who bumped into him earlier was also among them, and his own firewood knife was in the other party's hand!

At this moment, Wang Xiaoniu was ecstatic; according to the address of the person behind him just now, this person should be a small squad leader in Yangguangzhai, looking very capable of fighting; if there were a dozen such squads, what was the Viper Stronghold? They Yangguangzhai were the most arrogant.

So Wang Xiaoniu was not angry when caught, but laughed happily; it was all his own brothers anyway, it didn't matter.

In Luo Feng's eyes, it wasn't like this at all; this person was already a prisoner and could still laugh, clearly looking down on him; if it spread out, how would he stand in Yangguangzhai?!

So Luo Feng raised the big knife in his hand and put it on Wang Xiaoniu's neck, his face gloomy, his voice almost coming through his teeth.

"Why? Is it very funny?"

"Big Brother, slow down, I'm from Yangguangzhai!"

Wang Xiaoniu shook his head repeatedly, for fear that if he was slow, he would lose his head.

Hearing the three words Yangguangzhai, Luo Feng's expression solidified in an instant, asking tentatively: "Who told you to come?"

Even Luo Jin, who was cooking on the side, wiped her hands and walked over to watch.

Wang Xiaoniu hurriedly explained: "Brother Jiang told me to come, saying to find a person named Luo Feng."

Hearing this, Luo Feng silently put the knife down from Wang Xiaoniu's neck, holding his forehead with one hand, making people unable to see his expression.

In fact, he was almost crying with anxiety now.

What to do? What to do?

He, an external member, tied up the messenger of Yangguangzhai? And put a knife on his neck? Would he be kicked out of Yangguangzhai?

Captain Jiang said before that he would introduce other members of Yangguangzhai to him, and in a turn, he did such a thing; would other brothers in the stronghold exclude him?

Luo Jin asked happily: "What did Brother Jiang tell you to come for?"

The depressed Luo Feng immediately reacted; he still had a chance to make up for it, walking toward Wang Xiaoniu with a warm face and open arms, as if everything before hadn't happened.

"Oh! So it's my good brother from a different father and mother, what are you standing here for? Come sit, come sit."

It had to be said that Luo Feng's enthusiasm made Wang Xiaoniu a bit uncomfortable, but this must be the unity and friendship Brother Jiang told him about!

Sure enough, Brother Jiang didn't lie to them, Yangguangzhai must be a place with the warmth of a home.

Wang Xiaoniu didn't feel pain in his soles anymore at this moment, his hard work was all worth it, and he chatted with Luo Feng happily.

"Brother Luo, you are a few years older than me, can I call you that?"

"Yes! Simply too yes! My good brother, come sit here, we'll eat in a while."

After finishing, Luo Feng also winked at Luo Jin frantically, signaling the other party to hurry up and cook.

Luo Jin naturally wouldn't tear down her own brother's stage in front of others, obediently turning to cook.

Luo Feng was also very happy at this time; he didn't expect that the people in Yangguangzhai were so unpretentious, he put a knife on his neck and he didn't get angry, and even called him brother; compared to this, he was still far behind, and he still had to practice!

After sitting down, Wang Xiaoniu finally talked about the business: "Brother Luo, Brother Jiang told me to find you, arrange manpower, and go to Lianhuan Shan to attack the Viper Stronghold in a few days."

One of the people watching exclaimed: "The Viper Stronghold of the Five Poisons Stronghold?"

Wang Xiaoniu nodded at the brother who spoke; in his view, he had just joined Yangguangzhai, and his seniority naturally couldn't compare to any of the people present, so he had to respect the "seniors."

Getting Wang Xiaoniu's confirmation, this person immediately held his head high, feeling that the eyes looking at him from all around had changed; he didn't expect that he had only joined Yangguangzhai last night, and today he had performed a little bit.

Luo Feng hadn't been to Li City, nor had he heard of any Five Poisons Stronghold, so the brother earlier explained to everyone, which could be considered experiencing the feeling of being watched.

After Luo Feng understood the situation, he supported his chin and asked Wang Xiaoniu: "Is it only our squad?"

Wang Xiaoniu shook his head: "Of course not, we also have to find a person named Tang Lin."

Hearing this, Luo Feng was under great pressure; as the saying goes, goods compare with goods, people compare with people, and acting with the regular army of Yangguangzhai, wouldn't it make his own crooked melons and cracked dates look like they were too weak?

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaoniu suddenly remembered something, reaching into his bosom and digging: "By the way, Brother Jiang told me to bring you some silver, so you can recruit more people in these two days."

Searching left and right, he couldn't find the silver in his bosom, and Wang Xiaoniu's face turned pale instantly; he seemed to have ruined the matter.

Wang Hou in the crowd scratched his head embarrassedly, taking out twenty taels of silver from his bosom: "Brother, are you looking for this?"
