Chapter 8 Hou San and Jiang Yan
The next morning, soft light shone in through the open window, making Lin Cheng, who was sleeping lightly, slowly wake up. He stretched and got up from the wooden bed, breathing in the fresh air and touching the cool breeze, feeling very comfortable.
Sure enough, after five hours of sleeping as a crouching tiger, Lin Cheng's belly was already empty, and the delicious wolf meat had already turned into a thick essence and spread to all parts of his body.
Moreover, because of the "Crouching Tiger Gong", his sleep quality is very high. Ten hours of sleep is not necessarily more adequate than his five hours. Therefore, he is in very good spirits, not only does he not have a trace of fatigue, but he feels energetic and breathy.
After going downstairs to wash up, he happened to meet Lin Qinghu boxing in the backyard, Lin Cheng stopped to observe for a while, and then practiced.
The rich wolf meat had already been heated, and the fresh fruits that Lin Qinghu had picked were also washed and placed on the table, which was enough for a large plate.
After the father and son punched together, Lin Cheng took out the pieces of meat, put the broth on it, sat opposite Lin Qinghu, and ate it with relish.
"Today, my father is going to take the hunting team to the ancient forest near the first line gorge to catch demon beasts, and it is estimated that he will be able to come back tomorrow. You practice martial arts with the masters during the day, and temper your body by yourself at night, you can't slack off! As for food, the remaining wolf meat doesn't seem to be enough for you to eat, so go to the orchard and pick some by yourself!" Lin Qinghu settled down while eating.
"Well, got it. Lin Cheng replied obediently.
......
An hour later, Lin Cheng put on his sweatshirt and white clothes, wrapped up the leather bags sewn by Bai Jiu himself, hung up the wolf tooth blade that he had just won not long ago, and walked to Qingqi Square with a steady pace.
Because of last night's tempering and Crouching Tiger's sleeping cultivation, his temperament has changed very significantly, and he walks like a little tiger, full of strength and extraordinary momentum!
"Lin Cheng!"
There were already many children gathered in the square, standing together in twos and threes, talking and laughing. A child with both ears, big eyes, and a high nose greeted Lin Cheng from afar.
Lin Cheng is the son of the Lin family, the grandson of the mayor of the town, and his status is relatively detached. However, because he had recently been beaten from a future demon tail to an ordinary mortal, the children were more or less gloating, and the original worship and envy suddenly turned into contempt and hostility.
However, because of his great courage and the age of nine years old, he surpassed the fifteen-year-old Hou San, the third Hou of the Hou family, and won the first place in the climbing test, proving himself with his strength, and the children's attitude towards him also changed.
"Chen Cong. ”
Big-eared Chen Cong, known as the little fox and the ghost elf, is the sole descendant of the Chen family, another demon tail scholar family in Qingqi Town. However, like Lin Cheng, Chen Cong also regretted that he had no spirit bones.
Lin Cheng and Chen Cong have been playmates since childhood, but because the two have been tested to have no spirit bones, they unconsciously became estranged. Now, they have come out of the trough and can understand each other's feelings, so there is some sympathy.
"Today is my father's rotation to teach, and he seems to be intending to group us up! When the time comes, you can look at my eyes and act, and strive to let the two of us be in the same group!" Chen Cong looked left and right, put one hand on Lin Cheng's shoulder, and said mysteriously.
"Grouping, isn't this kind of thing a thing that only older children over the age of sixteen who want to join the hunting team do?" Lin Cheng asked with a strange expression.
Chen Cong smiled and said, "You don't know this, just last night, more than a dozen captains of the hunting team, including your father, came to our house for tea." I eavesdropped next door, and after learning that they had been discussing for a long time, we finally decided to let us, the hunter students under the age of sixteen, form a team in advance, so that we can cultivate our ability to hunt together from an early age. ”
"I see...... So how can we get into the same group?"
A master as strong as Lin Qinghu also needs the help of other hunters if he wants to hunt high-level demon beasts. Therefore, as a native of Qingqi Town, Lin Cheng deeply understands the important surname of his partner. If they could really form a team, they would be able to hunt beasts together!
"Ahem, I eavesdropped for a while, and my father found out, so I don't know how he will be grouped. Forget it, when the time comes, we can just act when the opportunity comes!" Chen Cong said with a palpitation as he stroked his big slightly red ears with one hand.
......
Soon after, a tall but slightly thin middle-aged man walked slowly with figure-eight steps, followed by a white-haired hound larger than a foal.
"Chen Da'er is here!"
"Stop talking!"
"Today is actually Master Chen's rotation to teach!"
"Hurry up, stand in line!"
But when he saw this man and a dog walking into the square, the bustling children suddenly vibrate, and all kinds of warnings swept through the entire small square like waves.
Then, in less than thirty breaths, the children scrambled to assemble and stood in a neat line, and for a while there was no noise.
This tall and thin man is the father of Chen Cong with big ears, another strong man in Qingqi Town in addition to Lin Qinghu, especially famous in the town for his superb resourcefulness.
His real name is Chen Yuanlong, but adults call him Chen Da Er, and children call him so behind their backs, but his real name is gradually unknown.
It is rumored that the ancestors of the Chen family are rare elves in the world, so their ears are naturally much larger than ordinary people, and the pinna is pointy, and their appearance is different from that of mortals, but I don't know if it's true or not.
Chen Da'er walked to the top of the flag platform, looked at the more than 100 children who were nervous below, cleared his throat, and said expressionlessly: "Yesterday, Master Lin took you to do the climbing test, I think you should all know that the result is not very good, and it can even be said to be very poor! However, although most of you are very poor, there are still a few relatively good students, and they are barely qualified!"
"In view of this situation, after discussion, our hunter team decided to let you form a squad in advance, participate in the training of real beast hunting, and even follow the hunting team to jungle hunt!"
Although the children were very in awe of Chen Da'er, when they heard the news, they couldn't help but show a look of disbelief and screamed excitedly. The whole team became lively for a while.
"But!"
Chen Da'er raised his hand, only made a movement, and simply said two words, and the children closed their mouths one after another.
"Don't rejoice too soon, not everyone is qualified to form a squad. Only those who cross the first red line in the climbing test are eligible. ”
Chen Da'er looked at the children who were looking at each other, snorted coldly, and continued expressionlessly: "So, I now announce that Hou San, Jiang Yan, Chen Cong, and Lin Cheng, a total of four people, will form a team, with Hou San as the temporary captain. ”
"In addition, Tian Ce, Zhao Ling'er, and Wang Meng, who successfully climbed by forming a team in the previous test, formed a team, with Tian Ce as the temporary captain! As for the rest of you, when will you pass the climbing test, and when will you be qualified to form a team!"
Chen Cong and Lin Cheng stood in the front and rear positions, but after listening to this distribution, they couldn't help but be a little funny, teasing each other and looking for the other two partners in the team.
Hou San stood at the end of the team, still squatting on his shoulders with the naughty black-haired monkey, his face looked a little cold, looking at Lin Cheng's gaze, there was a sense of provocation, obviously still resentful of the previous loss to Lin Cheng, and a little unwilling.
As for Jiang Yan, she is a very standard-looking little girl, wearing a white tight-fitting leather coat, stepping on delicate deerskin boots, carrying a small quiver on her back, and under the round wide-brimmed hat, she has a white and clean little face, and even has the temperament of a lady.
There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, his arms folded in front of his chest, and he looked back at Lin Cheng and the others like adults, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
"Master Chen, when will we be able to test again?"
Except for Lin Cheng and the other seven people who had passed the test, the other children were obviously a little anxious, on the one hand, they wanted to form a team to participate in the real beast hunting activities, and on the other hand, they were afraid of being left behind and losing face.
"The time is not fixed, you can do it at any time! However, you must ask the rotating instructor to check for you and ensure your safety. Seeing this, Chen Da'er smiled with satisfaction and replied with a short beard.
As soon as these words came out, the children immediately became disturbed again, most of them were trying to find a suitable partner, and like Tian Ce and others, they succeeded through teamwork.
"Okay! This morning's time will be left to you to move freely! However, no one is allowed to leave the square until I return, otherwise the white hair's mouth will be merciful!"
Chen Da'er said, and the big white dog next to him suddenly raised his neck and barked loudly into the sky, barking harshly, and everyone was so frightened that their hearts trembled.
