Eternal Sword

Chapter 24 The Wolf
Not long after, a girl in red came running out of the martial arts hall on the snow, her long black hair fluttering and her steps light and graceful.

In the dim morning light, the girl's face is rosy and beautiful.

"Chen Tang, you're back?"

Coming closer, Mei Yingxue's tone revealed a hint of surprise as she looked Chen Tang up and down, as if to see if he was missing any limbs.

Feeling Mei Yingxue's sincerity, Chen Tang couldn't help but smile and said, "Miss Mei, I heard that you went to my house. I just came back last night and came to see you this morning."

"Here is thirty taels of silver, please keep it."

Chen Tang took out the prepared purse and handed it to Mei Yingxue.

"what?"

Mei Yingxue looked surprised and asked, "Where did you get so much money?"

"My uncle prepared it for me and lent it to me temporarily. Let me return it to you first."

Chen Tang gave the excuse he had prepared long ago.

He couldn't tell the truth and say that the money was stolen from the bodies of Boyan and the four hunters.

Mei Yingxue said: "I'm not in a hurry to get it, but if it bothers you..."

"It's okay, you can take it."

Chen Tang still stuffed the purse over.

Seeing this, Mei Yingxue stopped refusing and took the money bag, saying, "Chen Tang, I heard about your father's matter. But during this period, there is also a happy event for you!"

"what?"

Chen Tang asked.

Mei Yingxue took a step forward, leaned forward slightly, and whispered mysteriously, "The Cui Yong who caused your father to be imprisoned was killed a month ago!"

"what!"

Chen Tang pretended to be ignorant and looked surprised.

Mei Yingxue said: "Cui Yong has done so many evil things that he deserves to die. Evil deeds will be punished."

Chen Tang asked, "Who killed him? Has the county police chief found the murderer?"

"No."

Mei Yingxue said: "I heard that they were bandits passing through Changze County. After killing someone, they fled a long time ago."

Chen Tang felt relieved.

Mei Yingxue said, "When I heard about your father's situation the other day, I thought that you were alone and seriously injured, and I was afraid that it would be difficult for you to survive, so I thought of going to see you."

"I didn't expect to run into your cousin and uncle, who said you went up the mountain to hunt."

Chen Tang secretly felt ashamed.

He originally thought that Mei Yingxue came to ask for money.

Unexpectedly, they were worried that he would not survive.

The predecessor was indeed not wrong about the person.

Even in this cruel world where people's hearts have changed, Mei Yingxue still retains innocence and kindness in her heart.

Mei Yingxue said: "This time you went hunting in the mountains, you must have suffered a lot. You look much thinner than before."

In fact, Chen Tang has indeed lost a lot of weight.

Mainly due to martial arts training, his muscles have become tighter and more angular, and both his strength and physical strength are far better than a month ago.

Chen Tang smiled slightly and did not explain.

"Your fascia is ruptured all over your body, so it will be very difficult for you to draw the bow. It is too dangerous to go hunting in the mountains."

Mei Yingxue said: "Why don't you come to our martial arts hall and do some odd jobs? Although it's hard work, it's not dangerous and you can earn some money to support yourself."

"Thank you Miss Mei for your kindness, but let's just forget it."

Chen Tang politely declined.

If my predecessor heard this proposal, it would mean more opportunities to see Mei Yingxue and he would be ecstatic.

But Chen Tang had other important things to do, and time was precious, so he couldn't waste it in the Plum Blossom Martial Arts School.

"Come with me. I'll take you to the martial arts gym and show you around. Don't be quick to refuse."

Mei Yingxue smiled slightly and went ahead.

Chen Tang originally planned to return the money and leave, but Mei Yingxue's kindness was hard to refuse. After all, Mei Yingxue had helped him before, and it would be too cold to just turn around and leave now.

"It's okay to go in and take a look. Since this is the Plum Blossom Martial Arts School, I can just ask about the entry-level skills and compare it with what Li Junqing said to verify it."

Chen Tang changed his mind and followed.

With Mei Yingxue leading the way, no one dared to stop the guards on both sides of the door. There was a hint of envy in their eyes as they looked at Chen Tang.

After entering the martial arts hall, Mei Yingxue walked straight ahead and soon arrived at a very spacious martial arts training ground.

Various weapons were placed around, and in the distance there were some young boys and girls practicing boxing and standing still.

"Brother Gou, look quickly, isn't that Young Hero Fu Hu?"

"Huh? It's really him!"

"This kid doesn't even realize his own status. How can he be worthy of standing with Senior Sister Mei?"

"Brother Gou, if you just say one word, we'll go over and teach him a lesson!"

The young boys and girls gathered together, staring at Chen Tang in the distance with ill intent and talking in low voices.

At the same time, he looked at the young man in brocade robe in front of him, waiting for his order.

This person is Gou Dai, the son of the leader of the Evil Wolf Gang.

Among the crowd, he is a little older and looks more mature and stable.

In addition to his identity as the young master of the Evil Wolf Gang, the young men who practiced martial arts in the martial arts hall all deliberately gathered around Gou Dai and followed his lead.

Gou Dai followed his father's instructions and continued to pursue Mei Yingxue.

But Mei Yingxue never responded and her attitude towards him was lukewarm.

Now, seeing Chen Tang and Mei Yingxue standing side by side, Gou Dai suddenly felt jealous and his face looked a little ugly.

"Don't act rashly."

Gou Dai said in a deep voice: "If we go over there in such a high profile, Junior Sister Yingxue will definitely try to stop us if she is nearby."

"What should we do? Just let him go?" another person frowned.

Gou Dai sneered slightly, waved his hand, called the servants around him, and whispered: "Go home quickly and bring the 'thugs' and 'bullies' to me!"

"what!"

The young men exclaimed in surprise when they heard this.

They had long heard that the Wolf Gang had two extremely ferocious wolves trained, named Thug and Bully.

It is said that the leader of the Evil Wolf Gang captured and subdued two evil wolves with his bare hands, and led them down the mountain, one in each hand. From then on, he became famous in Changze County!

It is because of this that he earned the nickname "Evil Wolf".

"Today is your chance to see thugs and bullies!"

"Haha, there will be something interesting to watch soon!"

The young men were all excited and ready to go.

Mei Yingxue introduced the situation in the martial arts hall to Chen Tang, but because the distance was too far, he didn't pay attention to what was happening over there.

Chen Tang spends the whole day in the snowy mountains, fighting with all kinds of ferocious beasts, and his perception of hostility is extremely keen!
He glanced over there casually, then looked away.

"Don't worry, Chen Tang. After all, you are injured. I will tell them to arrange some light work for you."

Mei Yingxue said: "Besides, there is another benefit to working in the museum."

"what?"

Chen Tang asked.

Mei Yingxue said, "For example, when we are working here, you can secretly watch us practice martial arts. Normally, this is not allowed in the gym, but you don't have to be afraid with me here."

"Although it's a little late for you to practice martial arts now, and it will be difficult for you to achieve success in the future, but it's always good to learn a few moves to strengthen your body."

Chen Tang smiled and said, "That's nothing. I know the Subduing Tiger Fist."

Mei Yingxue burst out laughing, then quickly stopped laughing, looking apologetic, and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't laugh at you, it's just that the Subduing Tiger Fist is really, really..."

Mei Yingxue was embarrassed to criticize Chen Tang, and said: "When there is a chance in the future, I will show you our Mei family's plum blossom fist and sword. That is the real superior martial arts!"

"Okay."

Chen Tang responded with a smile.
