This is really Gao Wu

Chapter 22 About the Hunters

Tang Zhen quickly thought, didn't the "bloody disaster" that day mean that he was under the cover of the Black Tiger Gang?

Seeing the suspicious look on Tang Zhen's face, the old village head explained:

"The Black Tiger Gang is a relatively large gang in Menliang County. It is mainly supported by a group of hunters..."

Tang Zhen was still puzzled, and asked:

"A few days ago, I met a fortune teller in the county town, who claimed to be with the Black Tiger Gang... Is the Black Tiger Gang so big?"

The old village head smiled and said:

"Apprentice, although you are very talented, you still lack some common sense... The group of hunters is not ordinary, and the strong among them often hang out in the forbidden area of ​​​​exotic beasts..."

"If you don't have any real skills, how can you beg for food in the forbidden area?"

"Moreover, some hunter groups are also employed by the military town as a supplementary force for the town's soldiers, responsible for monitoring and reporting the movements of the strange beasts..."

"When these groups become bigger, they will not be satisfied with making money from their own pots, so they will also participate in all walks of life..."

After listening to the old village chief's explanation, Tang Zhen immediately understood what was going on:
"If you want to be big without falling down, you have to grow a few more legs to support it... Even Zhang Qing wants to get involved in Ye Xiang's business, and he is not afraid of being strangled to death by dung water..."

I heard the old village head continue to say:
"As for the fortune-telling you mentioned, I heard that it's because the leader of the Black Tiger Gang is fond of divination and fortune-telling... It's not a hobby, in fact, he's just a vassal of the powerful. Whatever the high-ranking dignitary likes, they just hold it up. That's all..."

When Tang Zhen heard this, he had an idea and asked:

"According to what the master said, the leader of the Black Tiger Gang must have a high level of martial arts?"

"I heard that a few years ago, it was the strength of the second-level bone forging level. I don't know now. Maybe it has reached the third-level blood-exchanging level? The level is still second. These hunters often fight with strange beasts, and their actual combat ability will only be the same level. The top group..." The old village head thought for a while and said with emotion.

And Tang Zhen heard about two new martial arts realms, and wanted to ask more questions, but thought that he hadn't entered yet, so he had to suppress this idea for the time being...

(At this time, the code worder was overjoyed, and he copied two new words after naming it Fei, which was so fun)
The two walked while talking, and soon came to a small courtyard on the outskirts of Dongxingji. This courtyard seemed a little bigger, but it was a little old.

The gate of the courtyard was ajar, and the old village chief didn't think he was an outsider, he pushed the door and shouted:
"Brother Liu, Brother Liu, you didn't close the door. If you and my sister-in-law didn't finish your business, I watched it, but it's none of my business..."

At this time, in the hut on the side of the yard, a thin old man heard the movement, came out to check, saw that it was the village chief who came in, and said disgustedly:
"I thought I was some kind of scumbag, so it was you who was crippled... What do you think about women recently? If you want a woman, go to the hidden door in the collection... Not today, I have to queue up today..."

The old man's name is Liu Hong, he is from nearby Liujiagou, a well-known hunter in ten miles and eight villages, and he was also a ruthless horn who wandered around the forbidden area in his early years.Although martial arts is not a top grade, his experience in the mountains and forests has also made him highly respected in the Black Tiger Gang. Although he is at home for the elderly, his three sons are still the small leaders of the Black Tiger Gang...

"I said Brother Liu, you know all the ways here, it seems that you have been there a lot, I have to go and talk to my sister-in-law..."

Facing Liu Hong's ridicule, the old village head didn't care, and even turned against the first army.

While talking, Liu Hong beckoned the two to sit down, but he ran into the room without knowing what to do.

After a while, Liu Hong brought a teapot and came out with three cups.

'Oh, so I went to pour tea...huh?No, is this a bar?Drinking early in the morning? Tang Zhen thought to himself, moved his nose, but found that things were not simple.

"This wine is not an ordinary wine. It is brewed with more than a dozen kinds of medicinal materials. Although it is not a spiritual material, it is also an old medicine that has been aged..."

Seeing Tang Zhen's stunned look, the old village chief introduced Tang Zhen.

"Brother Li, come, drink two more cups. Although your leg injury can't be cured, it can still have some effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis..."

Liu Hong glanced lightly at the old village head's legs, and said in a low voice.

"I know that my leg hurts. I'm afraid there is no medicine to cure it... But I'm really greedy for your wine..."

While chatting, the two drank medicinal wine...there wasn't even an appetizer.

As they chatted, they naturally brought the topic to Tang Zhen.

"Brother, my apprentice has made rapid progress in martial arts, but it's a pity that he didn't lay a good foundation when he was young... This time, I'm here to let him learn some common sense in the woods from you, so that he can find some nutritious wild goods for himself... Second, I want to ask you to make a scabbard, tell me what material you want, and I will get it, and it is not a problem for him to carry a knife every day..." said the old village chief.

"Brother, you are outraged when you say this. You have never accepted an apprentice, and you haven't even learned much from you... Now that you have accepted an apprentice, it shows that this guy is really outstanding. I Why are you hiding it... come on, let's look at the knife first..."

As he said that, he asked for Tang Zhen's knife and observed it carefully. He acted resolutely...

"Brother, your apprentice's family is really rich, did you use money to make a chamber pot?"

While touching the blade, Liu Hong said in amazement.

Hearing this, the old village chief explained it to Liu Hong...

"Oh, so he is the new big idiot of the Green Leaf Gang you mentioned... cough cough... steward... not bad, young and promising, young and promising..."

Tang Zhen had no choice but to say yes again and again, what else could he do?Beat up these two old men?
"The scabbard is on me... I don't need to look for materials. I have a ready-made one here, which is a little longer than your knife... Wait for me, I'll get it..."

As he spoke, he ran into the back room, looking like a skinny old man, who moved faster than ordinary people...

After a while, he came over with a dusty scabbard that looked very plain, and handed it to Tang Zhen for him to try...

Tang Zhen inserted his machete into the scabbard, and found that the scabbard was quite suitable except that it was a little longer... Tang Zhen couldn't put it down because of his new scabbard. He pulled the knife out and inserted it again...

Seeing this, Liu Hong said cheerfully:
"I'm reusing waste... No, it's a good sheath for a precious sword..."

Tang Zhen's expression froze, and he thought:
"Old man, fortunately you are a hunter and spend a lot of time dealing with wild animals, otherwise you would have been beaten to death..."

But thank you again and again, after all, it doesn't cost money... right?

Tang Zhen was even happier after knowing that he really didn't need the money.

A few people were drinking and chatting. It was almost noon, but the old village head found that the guy in Liu Hong's house hadn't come back yet, so he asked curiously. As a result, Liu Hong said that he had gone to the second child's house in the county. Another girl was added to the family, and she went to visit with the third child...

"So, brother, you really haven't eaten?" The old village chief was stunned...
