In the center of the city, a restaurant with an elegant environment, the hall is full, full of diners, and there are scattered men, women and children queuing up at the door. This is a good hot pot restaurant, the owner is a Sichuan person, because the hot pot is authentic, it is gradually famous in the local area, so every day the guests who come here to eat, there will be a queue.

In one corner of the hall, around a table, four predators who had come out of the hill and had taken out their goods were sitting around the table, waiting for the waiter to serve the food. There was also a woman sitting with the Trapper Boss, in an intimate manner, who looked like his wife.

After a while, the waiter brought the dishes over, and a mandarin duck pot was also put on the table, and the five of them opened the tableware and began to eat, and the eldest also ordered two bottles of Moutai, ready to drink with a few brothers.

The woman sitting with her told a few old men, "Drink less, clean up tomorrow, it's time to go home." ”

The boss smiled and nodded, shook his head again and said, "It's okay, I've been tired for a while, relax today, and I won't go to the second child and you will go for a massage, I won't go, go back and let your sister-in-law press me." A wicked smile on his face as he spoke.

The woman with a good appearance and a plump figure glared at him and said: Drink and drink, it is best to drink unconscious!"

The brothers all laughed, and the eldest picked up the glass, touched it with everyone, and drank the wine in the cup.

After the fourth child put down the wine glass, he let out an extremely comfortable voice and said, "Cool! Damn, I thought I was going to die a few days ago, but I didn't expect to be able to sit here and drink." ”

The second child smiled and said: "You're going to die, my brothers have to be uncomfortable for a lifetime, what are you doing with that bad luck, eat vegetables." ”

Several people were eating the cooked mutton in the pot, and the woman stretched out a long arm and put some greens into the pot.

The fourth child took a piece of green vegetables, ate it and said: "Bad luck is bad luck, but damn it, that's too scary, brother, do you know? The whole chest is concave, I can't breathe, I feel my heart is pressed against my back! Especially the blood that spits out of my throat, the smell of blood, I am afraid to think about it!"

The boss glanced at his wife and said, "Yes, that day, I saw that the fourth child couldn't survive, and suddenly a man floated down from the sky, like a fairy, and saved the fourth child." ”

The woman first asked, and then said, "Floating down?" Oh, what's so strange about that, all these years of going south and north, and drilling into the deep mountains, I haven't seen any rare characters." Didn't you meet people fighting in the mountains last year? As you told you about it, two people jumped up and down on a tree, and said that a slap could shatter a big stone. ”

The third monster shouted: "That's not as evil as this person! Sister-in-law, the fourth child's entire chest is broken, and the flesh and blood are blurred, so the man touched it with his hand, and it was fine!"

The third child made a loud voice, which caused several tables around him to look at him. The boss's wife looked around and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I drank too much, I drank too much." Then she glared at the third child, and said a little unhappily: "Yes, yes, yes, evil things, evil things have been encountered by you, I think you better wash your hands and don't do it, the money is almost saved, it is better to go home and open a small shop, An An will share the rest of his life." ”

The eldest patted the third child on the shoulder and told him to sit down, and then he said: "This place has opinions about our brothers, every time we come, there is a situation, it should be God who is reminding us, telling us to wash our hands and stop drying." Your sister-in-law is right, the money is almost saved, it is better to go home and open a small shop, and An An will share the rest of her life. Besides, several of you are in your thirties, and you don't have a wife, so it's not a way to go on like this, and I have to think about your future as a brother. ”

The third and fourth didn't speak, everything listened to the eldest brother, and the second opened his mouth and said: "What the eldest brother and sister-in-law said makes sense, so I won't do it from now on." ”

The boss nodded, and his wife also smiled and said, "When I go home, I will open a bar with your eldest brother, and your brothers will come to work and drink together every day, isn't it good." ”

Several people laughed, eating and chatting about the future.

After a while, the boss said: "Tomorrow we will go into the mountains, it is not rare to save the fourth person, let's buy some things and thank him." Although we are not good people, we have a clear distinction between love and hate, revenge will be avenged, and kindness will be repaid. ”

The fourth nodded, agreeing with the boss.

The second child took a sip of wine, put down the cup, stretched his head forward, looked at a few people and said: "I don't think he wants anything, this kind of person is a monster, maybe there are some quirks, and he is so powerful, just think about it, you know, it must be the kind of people that our little people can't reach." ”

"What kind of crowd does he belong to?" the woman who brushed her hair with her orchid finger on the side looked at the second child.

The second god said mysteriously: "The people in the rivers and lakes must be the people in the rivers and lakes!"

"What kind of people in the rivers and lakes, we go south and north to do life-losing business, aren't we also people in the rivers and lakes?"

The second child said with disgust: "Which is our rivers and lakes, I'm talking about that rivers and lakes, that's it, Wudang Shaolin, the first in the world, the peerless martial arts." ”

The third laughed and said, "It's still the first in the world, peerless martial arts, hahaha..."

"Tsk, oops, don't laugh, haven't you heard of the Jiangnan Mudi in our hometown? I heard that he is a martial arts master, very tall, much higher than the traditional martial arts competitions you watch on TV!"

The third child pouted, looking incredulous.

The second child said again: "Then according to you, how did that person save the fourth child, the fourth child was like that at that time, but you saw it." ”

The third child frowned again, not knowing how to answer the second child, and finally exclaimed: "It can't be a monster!"

The boss kicked on the third child's leg and scolded: "Idiot, why do you say that the fourth child is the life-saving benefactor, no matter what he is, he saved the fourth child, it is kind to us." As for the Jiangnan Mudi that the second child said, I have heard that he is a martial arts practitioner, as if he is like him, and now there are eight. ”

The second child nodded again and again and said, "Yes, yes, it's eight." Then he pointed to the third brother and said: "Look, the eldest brother knows, if you don't say why people can be the eldest brother, you are just a junior!"

The third child huffed angrily: "What seven or eight, how do I know!"

The eldest and second were drunk and had a good time, so they talked to the third and fourth children about the things they knew.

What a ten-year tournament, eight masters, a hidden treaty. The forces of the rivers and lakes were rampant and were secretly suppressed by the army, and the forces of the rivers and lakes were for the country and the people, and were supported by the leaders at higher levels. There is also a mysterious organization that specializes in assassinating rookies who are gradually emerging in the rivers and lakes, so as to prevent the rivers and lakes from growing stronger.

Several people chatted until late at night, until the guests left, only them and the rest of the table were left, and a few people gave up and left after checking out.

The waiter was already sleepy, but he could be regarded as sending away these chirping drunks. As soon as the few people left, the waiter hurriedly came over to clean up the table, wanting to leave work early.

The two guests at the other table chatted a few words after a few people left.

"Do you think they're telling the truth?"

"What, are you and me?" the man who heard the question smiled.

"No, it's the man of God they say, the dying man who can sink his chest and bring back to life. ”

"Who knows, you and I haven't seen it, but it's not impossible, after all, at the end of the martial arts, either immortals or demons, but they are all masters of great magical powers. ”

The waiter cleaned up the table here, looked at the two guests at the last table over there, and really didn't want to wait any longer, so he couldn't help but ask: "Two, it's late, we're also off work, do you see it..."

The two men then got up, smiled apologetically at the waiter, then settled the bill, walked out the door, and disappeared into the thick night.

Early the next morning, early in the morning, the four people who had been drunk last night got up. They drove a car, found a supermarket, bought some gifts, went to a Chinese medicine pharmacy, bought two ginseng, and drove into the mountains.

Ge Dan stayed in the hospital for a few days, and after his body was fine, he was discharged from the hospital, but it was still a little hard to walk, so he recuperated at home. In the past few days, Guo Xianda has been leading the team, patrolling in the mountains, and after the events of the past few days, the patrol members are a little afraid. They also called the police, but the town's police officers had limited ability to do things, and they also searched these perennial poachers, but to no avail.

Regarding Wu Hou's performance that day, his grandfather didn't ask him, didn't ask him why he was called Duanmu Shenjiu Master, and didn't ask him why he seemed to be very familiar with Baihu. This made Wu Hou very curious, but his grandfather didn't ask, and Wu Hou didn't take the initiative to mention it, everything was as usual, nothing big changed, the only difference was that when his grandfather was patrolling with people every day, he no longer went to the vicinity of Pinghuang Mountain. I guess I am afraid of meeting the white tiger, after all, the more people who know the white tiger, the worse it is for the white tiger.

Wu Hou came to Pinghuang Mountain early, and at this time he was fighting with the Duanmu Shenjiu master and apprentice. The two of them only made moves, but did not exert force, and the focus was not on the tricks, but on the steps under their feet.

Duanmu Shenjiu taught Wu Hou a set of footwork, called "Walking Seven Stars".

According to Duanmu Shenjiu, this seven stars was made by him based on the seven stars of the Big Dipper in the sky, and it was simplified from the "Phantom Star Wandering Clouds". Phantom Star Wandering Cloud is a very complex set of combat footwork, which contains the know-how to restrain the movement required when performing all the martial arts in the world, aiming to be one step ahead of others. It's a pity that Wu Hou has never seen the grand occasion of the hundred schools in the year of martial arts, and naturally he can't learn to comprehend the phantom stars and clouds. Therefore, Duanmu Shenjiu evolved this set of "Seven Stars" on the basis of Phantom Star Wandering Cloud, which is different from Phantom Star Wandering Cloud, Phantom Star Wandering Cloud is controlled by the first hand, and Walking Seven Stars is the last hand to kill.

Wu Hou followed the guidance of Duanmu Shenjiu, and he has been practicing repeatedly for a few days, and he has also seen initial results and results. This made him very surprised, and he didn't feel tired, as long as Duanmu Shenjiu didn't stop, Wu Hou would keep practicing.

But while practicing, Duanmu Shenjiu stopped, looked at the bottom of the mountain and said, "A guest is coming." ”

Wu Hou, who retracted his steps, was a little strange, thinking to himself who would come here. So he asked, "What guest?"

Duanmu Shenjiu smiled and said nothing, quietly looking at the four hunters carrying things on the mountain road.

The four hunters carrying things were tired and sweaty, and when they were still halfway up the mountain, they were already too tired to walk. At this time, the position was just over the creek, and halfway up the mountain, there were fewer weeds, and the line of sight was much wider, but at a glance, there was no human figure in sight, and there was no white tiger in sight.

The third child complained a little, and retreated in his heart, but seeing that the other three had no intention of retreating, he was not embarrassed to speak, so he had to say: "I have climbed so high, and I haven't seen anyone, do you think he is not here?"

The boss stopped and looked up the hill, took a sip of water and said, "Are you unable to climb?"

The third child laughed and didn't reply.

"I asked you to exercise more, if you don't listen, you are not as good as the fourth child in terms of physical strength. The second child didn't stop and walked straight up the mountain.

When the fourth brother passed by the third child, he patted the third child on the shoulder and said, "Third brother, if it doesn't work, just sit and wait, come and give me the things, I'll carry them." ”

"Let go of your mother's fart, you can't do it!" The third reached out and hit back the fourth hand, and continued to climb up in a huff.

When he was about to reach the top of the mountain, the boss saw from a distance that there were two people standing in the center of the end of the mountain road, namely Wu Hou and Duanmu Shenjiu.

He held up the gift aloft and shouted, "Friend, we have no ill intentions, we are here to thank you." ”

Wu Hou beckoned and signaled that a few people could go up the mountain.

The four of them finally climbed to the top of the mountain, and sat on the ground tired, snorting and panting, and they didn't have time to speak. Wu Hou looked at the various gifts on the ground, as well as ginseng, and thought to himself that he was really willing to spend money. Duanmu Shenjiu looked at a few people, let them sit on the ground and gasp, and didn't speak.

The boss who rested for a while looked at Duanmu Shenjiu and Wu Hou, the atmosphere was quiet and a little embarrassed, he stood up and spoke first: "Thanks to your rescue that day, my brother was out of danger. We're going to leave this place, go back to our hometown, and come here before leaving, these gifts are a little bit of heart, I know you don't love money, but you can't come empty-handed, so I bought a few boxes of cigarettes and alcohol. ”

Duanmu Shenjiu turned around and walked a few steps, and said to himself: "Ordinary people, even giving gifts to people can't avoid the word cheesy." ”

When he said this, his voice was not loud, but the eldest had sensitive ears and heard it word for word. He was a little embarrassed and explained: "I understand, you are not an ordinary person, and we don't know what you like, so we bought some things that men like the most on weekdays." ”

The fourth child took out the ginseng and said, "Benefactor, this is ginseng, you stew it and eat it, and you will prolong your life." ”

Duanmu Shenjiu waved his hand, asked Wu Hou to carry things into the house, and took the four of them to the side.

Wu Hou ran back and forth a few times before he brought all the things into the house, and after taking them, he hurriedly ran to the other people.

The four poachers saw the white tiger lying under the big tree to enjoy the shade, and after hearing the footsteps, they opened their eyes and looked at their others.

The second child raised his hand and said to the white tiger: "Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong, we have no malicious intent." ”

The white tiger looked at the fourth child and raised his chin towards the fourth child's chest, as if asking the fourth child how his body was again.

The fourth child didn't know what he meant, and smiled politely on the surface, but he was panicked to death in his heart, for fear that it would rush over to give him another look.

Duanmu Shenjiu came to the tree, sat on a stool and said: "They are only in the prime of life, there are still many years in life, I advise a few people not to do this unsightly thing in the future, otherwise they will not be so lucky next time." ”

Several people looked unnatural.

The boss replied: "Yes, yes, you are right, so a few of our brothers, last night also totaled, this trip back to their hometown, just wash their hands, find a serious business to do, and the province has been out for many years, and it is not good to eat and sleep." ”

Duanmu Shenjiu nodded, remembered something, and asked, "Have you ever mentioned to anyone that you have seen me?"

Several people shook their heads and said no.

Duanmu Shenjiu was relieved.

At this time, Wu Hou asked a few poachers, "Where is your hometown?"

"Hangzhou. ”

"That place is so far away from here, and that place is very rich, how can you do such a money-making thing. Wu Hou asked.

The boss said with a bitter face: "That's also a matter of no choice, our wealth is rich, but it is only a small part, not all of it." ”

Wu Hou nodded and said, "Oh, that's right, by the way, I'm going to go to college in Hangzhou after the start of school, and it's a coincidence, it just so happens that you are from Hangzhou." ”

"Yo, yes, yes, the little brother will come to Hangzhou when the time comes, and the four of us will definitely entertain us." ”

"It doesn't matter if you are entertained or not, don't become a local snake at that time, just run on me. Wu Hou joked.

The boss hurriedly said: "How can it, the little brother is a generation of heroes with extraordinary skills at a glance, and if you follow this benefactor to learn art, you will definitely be a big man in the future." ”

Wu Hou asked: "Can this still become a big man?"

The third interface replied to Wu Hou and said: "That's not it, the Jiangnan Mudi in our hometown is a martial arts master, very ruthless, one of the eight masters....."

The boss slapped the third child to stop him from continuing to speak, and then said with a smile: "We just heard about it, I don't know if it's true." ”

Wu Hou blinked his big eyes and asked, "Wow, master, did you hear it, the eight masters, there are really such people." ”

Duanmu Shenjiu nodded and told Wu Hou: "This shouldn't be a hidden master of all walks of life. ”

Then he told a few poachers: "It's normal that you haven't seen it, since ancient times, the real martial arts practitioners have rules, and they can't use martial arts to meddle in disputes in the world and deal with ordinary people." So you will never see me unless you meet me by chance, like this time. ”

The boss smiled and nodded again and again, "That's that, it's really eye-opening to see you, I'm afraid you are more powerful than the legendary eight masters." ”

"I have something to trouble the four of you. Duanmu Shenjiu ignored the boss's sycophants and diverted the topic.

The boss stopped talking, and the four of them looked at Duanmu Shenjiu questioningly.

Duanmu Shenjiu stretched out his finger and pointed at Wu Hou, and said: "This is my apprentice, called Wu Hou, you just said that your hometown happens to be where Wu Hou went to school, then I will trouble you, I hope you can worship Wu Hou as the master." ”

When Wu Hou heard this, he looked at Duanmu Shenjiu suspiciously and asked, "Master, what do you mean?"

Duanmu Shenjiu whispered: "You went far away and went to a bigger world, although the master is with you, but there are many things that the master can't take care of you, so the master wants to collect a few subordinates for you and help you find the painting for me." ”

Wu Hou immediately understood, nodded and agreed.

Hearing that they wanted to let themselves recognize Wu Hou as the boss, they were a little confused, but they didn't expect Duanmu Shenjiu to have such a request.

Duanmu Shenjiu ignored a few people and continued: "You have to obey Wu Hou's orders, if he has anything to do, I hope you can cooperate well." You don't have to be too restrained, you say it's the boss, but it's actually just your little friend, it's just that I can't worry about this stinky kid, so I want a few people in my hometown to take care of him more. ”

The boss laughed a few times and said, "You don't know, although we are not good people who abide by the law, we also have our own ways, if we are the boss, we are the boss, how can we be friends." ”

The second, third, and fourth looked at the boss questioningly.

The boss said, "Look, who calls people our life-saving benefactor, call the boss quickly!"

Several people reluctantly raised their hands and opened their mouths towards Wu Hou, ready to call someone.

Wu Hou waved his hand again and again, and said: "Don't don't, you can call me Wu Hou, don't call me the boss, I won't be your boss, as long as I have something for you to help do, you can help do it." ”

The boss nodded and said, "Okay, that's no problem, as long as you have something, in a word, I'm sure to help you do it." From now on, the four of us will listen to you and mix with you!"
