"That rabbit is definitely real. I personally saw it slap the tiger on the head..."
"You drank a fake bar, and the tiger was beaten by the rabbit? If I really did it while standing on my head..."
"Stop it, stop it, where did the fake wine come from...what kind of habits do you have...go home and perform by yourself..." Lao Jiangtou said immediately displeased.
The tavern was in chaos, and everyone argued for a long time about whether the rabbit was real or fake... In the end, the rumors became more and more sinister, and no one could convince the other.
Jiang Ming also looked interested. He interrupted with a few words and quickly figured out the general situation.
It turns out that since this spring, some people have seen a fat white rabbit in the mountains and forests, suspected of collecting medicine. They were curious and wanted to take it home...
Unexpectedly, the fat white rabbit was so clever that he fled deep into the forest... and did not appear again for a long time.
Until last month, someone met the rabbit again in the mountains, and saw that it was alone at the beginning, but now it was in groups, and even hooked up with a tiger as a mount...
"Who said cattle and sheep only live in herds? This majestic king has too much dignity..." Jiang Ming complained in his heart, not surprised that the fourth master was still alive.
He had nothing to do last winter, and used his own blood to refine twenty or thirty portions of animal-control medicine soup, and fed them all to Fourth Master Bai. Its spiritual intelligence was much more enlightened than the previous ones, and it naturally had no problems surviving to this day. .
But a rabbit can command ferocious beasts like tigers and wild boars, which made Jiang Ming a little stunned. Could it be that this guy took too much medicine... and what kind of mutation occurred?
"If you have time, you can talk to Fourth Master about old times." Jiang Ming thought to himself.
In the tavern, this seemingly eye-catching topic quickly passed away, because this fact was so bizarre that many people did not believe it at all and just thought it was someone deliberately making up weird stories to attract attention...
Jiang Ming smiled. This kind of thing does happen from time to time. There are countless stories about strange beasts and monsters in some remote villages and towns. Many villagers say that they are real... but 99% of them are false.
"It's just...this time it's true." Jiang Ming thought to himself.
But if the fourth master is found, he must keep a low profile...
At three o'clock in the morning, everyone who drank the morning wine gradually left, and Jiang Ming was also preparing to leave. Today, the leader of the Liehuzhuang branch arrived, and the branch was officially in operation. He also wanted to show his face...
"Master Jiang, wait a minute." Old Jiangtou sat up from his chair and called him.
"You are Mr. Jiang...just call me Brother Ming." Jiang Ming smiled.
Lao Jiangtou chuckled and said, "Brother Ming, do you still remember the person you beat here a few days ago?"
Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows: "Wu Yi? Why...he suddenly woke up and changed his ways?"
Old Jiangtou shook his head: "He came to my place several times to buy wine, but he never drank it. He just sold it away... I also heard Ah Fei say that he was sneaky every day and appeared outside your yard many times... You Be careful."
Jiang Ming was startled for a moment, then sighed and said slowly: "I know that he used to be a decent person, and I wanted to give him a chance to change his ways..."
Lao Jiangtou said with complicated eyes: "When an honest person becomes vicious, he is more terrifying than a villain."
"I understand, Mr. Jiang, there is no need to worry, I will take care of it..."
Jiang Ming nodded lightly, turned and left the tavern.
…
In Pingan Town, Liehuzhuang branch, there were more than 20 people standing in the spacious courtyard.
In front of everyone, there was a stern young man in his twenties or thirties, with high eyebrows and slightly gloomy eyes. At this time, he was speaking energetically, such as working together... to create greater glory...
"It won't take my father that long to kill a pig..." Wang Dong muttered as he stood in the crowd. He believed that his path to martial arts was hopeless, so he volunteered to come here to do some butchering work. He never expected to meet such a person. It's chatty inside.
Jiang Ming, on the other hand, watched his eyes, nose and heart, standing still, seemingly listening attentively...but in fact, his ears were in chaos and he heard nothing.
These are all skills developed in previous lives...
After more than half an hour, the branch leader named Zhong Shaowen finished his speech, and everyone quickly dispersed.
"Jiang Ming, please stay for a while!" he said suddenly.
Jiang Ming stood still, looked at Zhong Shaowen, and said with a smile, "I wonder what Mr. Zhong wants?"
Jiang Ming remembered that the owner of Hunting Tiger Village was named Zhong. Although Zhong Shaowen was a third-rate warrior, there were many third-rate warriors in the village. He could come here to be the leader at such a young age...I am afraid it has nothing to do with this surname. Small.
Zhong Shaowen put his hands behind his back, turned his back to Jiang Ming, and said calmly: "Guan Headhunter said that you are a young talent and recommended you to me as my deputy. I wonder if you are willing to help me share some tasks..."
Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment, and then his thoughts suddenly changed. Zhong Shaowen seemed to be a person who loved power. If he took advantage of Guan Feng's authority and foolishly agreed, he would probably be in trouble in the future.
He immediately handed over his hand and said with an apologetic look: "Everyone in Zhuangzi knows that I don't like affairs. Many matters in the Ping'an Town branch still need to be made by Chief Zhong Zhong. I have no doubts about it!"
When Zhong Shaowen heard this, he suddenly smiled, but said regretfully: "Well, in that case...then I can only work harder."
"Chief Zhong is really a role model for our generation..." Jiang Ming quickly expressed admiration, praised the new leader a few more words, and then left here...
"That's good, nothing happens!"
After walking out of the Liehuzhuang branch, Jiang Ming also smiled. He suddenly understood why Guan Feng recommended him to be his deputy. It was impossible for him not to know who Zhong Shaowen was... He wanted to find himself a job where no one would disturb him. ah.
"High, really high!" Jiang Ming admired him. No other position could provide such leisure.
"Next, after the last thing is taken care of, you can happily go back to the mountains and practice martial arts..." Jiang Ming was in a happy mood.
…
Late at night, small courtyard, thatched cottage.
A candle flickered, reflecting Wu Yi's face, which flickered in and out, a bit ferocious.
In front of him were several cans of spirits...
"Jiang Ming... I have to retaliate against you severely this time!" He gritted his teeth and said with a sinister expression: "I lit up your house while you were sleeping, I don't believe you can still live!"
Bang~
The door suddenly opened and was kicked to pieces.
"Who?" Wu Yi was shocked.
Jiang Ming walked in without concealing his identity. Wu Yi was just... not worthy of hiding his identity.
Even if Manager Dong knew about it, so what, he could only hold his nose and admit it...
"W-what do you want to do?" Wu Yi was shocked when he saw Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming glanced at the jars of wine and said with a half-smile, "Burning down my house? Is this all you have to offer?"
"No, no no...I didn't!" Wu Yi looked pale and shook his head desperately: "I bought it to drink...please spare me once, spare me once."
"The wine you bought to drink, what can I do to forgive you..." Jiang Ming smiled lightly.
Wu Yi was stunned and realized that he had spilled the beans. He knelt down on the ground with a plop and kowtowed crazily: "I was wrong this time. You, sir, have a lot of money. Please let me go..."
Jiang Ming's face was expressionless and he said indifferently: "This time? Do you think this is a village brawl...you fighting me round after round?"
Wu Yi looked up in horror.
Jiang Ming casually picked up a fragment of the wooden door and tossed it forward lightly.
Phew~
The fragment penetrated Wu Yi's eyebrows, and blood flowed gurglingly. He suddenly became silent and fell to the ground.
"From the day you hugged the Jianghu people, you should have had the consciousness to die in the Jianghu..."
Jiang Ming glanced at the body and strode away...
…
A few days later, Yunmeng Shanze.
Jiang Ming collected herbs in the mountains and forests for several days, and finally saw the figure of Fourth Master...
