Chapter 21: The Small Inn
"Su Zhan!" Lin Qingshan rushed in.
"Big brother!" Su Zhan quickly got up.
Lin Qingshan immediately noticed that Su Zhan's shoulder was injured, and the blood seeping out had soaked through Su Zhan's clothes.
"What happened?" Lin Qingshan's tone was filled with doubt and anger. Su Zhan was fine when he left, so how could Su Zhan have become like this in just two days?
Su Zhan chuckled and shook his head: "It's nothing, just a minor scratch. It'll be fine in a couple of days."
Lin Yuer, who was standing to the side, burst into tears.
"How could we be alright? The journey was extremely dangerous. If it weren't for my husband's exceptional abilities, we might never have seen our elder brother again."
Lin Yu'er then told Lin Qingshan what had happened on the road. The more Lin Qingshan listened, the darker his face became. Finally, he gritted his teeth and roared, "These damned bastards bullied us because we are from the Great Wu! We'll make them pay for this!"
Su Zhan didn't take it to heart and chuckled as he spoke.
"I've killed more than a dozen of them, so they paid the price too."
Then Su Zhan directly asked Lin Qingshan.
"Big brother, what are your plans for the future?"
Lin Qingshan sat down next to Su Zhan and listened to him talk about it. His expression softened slightly. "I think Stone City is a very good place. I went to the real estate agency these past two days and we can buy a courtyard here and settle down."
When Lin Yuer heard that she could live a stable life, hope appeared in her eyes. The little girl had been living in fear all the way and was really fed up with that kind of life.
But Su Zhan still had some concerns.
"Brother, I don't think Stone City is a place that can protect us. I doubt those Mandu people will let this go."
Furthermore, I don't know whether those chasing me are Mandu's people or people trying to capture you. They are quite powerful, and I think we should move to another place as soon as possible.
Lin Qingshan nodded after hearing Su Zhan's words.
"I know your concerns. Those people are indeed quite capable, but we don't need to worry too much. This is Stone City. If they want to cause trouble here, the local indigenous gangs won't stand idly by."
Then, Lin Qingshan told him everything he had learned about Stone City during the two days he had arrived ahead of time.
The stone city is divided into two factions: one is composed of nomadic people from the grasslands, and the other is composed of Han Chinese.
Actually, this place was originally a city inhabited by nomadic people from the grasslands, but as more Han Chinese came, it gained considerable influence.
However, the Han people's power was suppressed by the grassland people, so the Han people banded together for mutual support and formed a gang called: the Fierce Dragon Gang.
The grassland people here do not have gangs; they only have tribes. Their tribe, called Abaga, is a tribe ruled by two brothers.
These two brothers took over Stone City from their father and became the most powerful people in the city.
The saying goes, "Two tigers cannot share one mountain, unless one is male and the other female."
The Fierce Dragon Gang and the Abaga Tribe fought many battles, but in the end neither side could defeat the other, and both sides suffered heavy losses.
So the two sides could only shake hands and make peace, and jointly rule Stone City.
After that, the Abaga tribe and the Fierce Dragon Gang were responsible for the public affairs of Stone City, and the other for the covert affairs. Since this division of labor, they have lived in peace for many years.
Lin Qingshan wanted to join the Fierce Dragon Gang because he felt that to gain a foothold on the grasslands, he needed the support of the Han people. If he stayed with those grassland people, he would never be given important positions.
After listening, Su Zhan pondered for a moment and felt that his elder brother was right.
This is the grassland of the grassland people, not a place that the Han people can rule. If you want to establish yourself here, you must have power. Fighting alone will never get you anywhere.
The Fierce Dragon Gang is a good choice. Putting aside everything else, the fact that they are Han Chinese is enough for Su Zhan to consider.
Han Chinese on the grasslands, like the grassland people, naturally stick together. With power, things become much easier, and they might no longer have to worry about the tribes of Mandu causing them trouble.
Moreover, going to other places might not necessarily yield good results, so it's better to stay here and join the Raptors.
Su Zhan didn't think there was anything wrong with living under someone else's roof. If he could make a name for himself in the Fierce Dragon Gang, he might achieve even greater things in the future.
So Su Zhan nodded and said to Lin Qingshan.
"So, bro, how do we get into the Fierce Dragons Gang?"
Lin Qingshan chuckled.
"That's easy. I've already asked around, and I expect to hear back tomorrow."
Su Zhan nodded, thinking to himself, "If that's the case, then let's just wait and see."
Afterwards, they ordered some food, and Lin Yuer fetched water and bought some external wound medicine to treat Su Zhan's wounds.
Despite losing a lot of blood, Su Zhan's wound was actually quite small. If it hadn't been for the intense fighting during the day, it might have already healed.
Moreover, even now, his wound has scabbed over, and as long as he doesn't engage in strenuous exercise, there shouldn't be any major problems.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they went straight to rest. Su Zhan felt that he was exhausted from the day. He had been on the run since midnight and only had a chance to catch his breath in the evening.
Meanwhile, Lin Yuer had just lain down and was already fast asleep. Looking at Lin Yuer's beautiful face, Su Zhan felt that it was all worth it.
If they hadn't taken a gamble and made a huge fuss, how could they have escaped alive?
If Su Zhan hadn't made a fuss, he would have regretted it even more, but now that things are as they are, he doesn't regret it at all.
Because no matter what, Lin Yuer and he managed to escape, and apart from him suffering a minor injury, Lin Yuer was completely unharmed.
As long as the people he cares about won't get hurt, Su Zhan feels at ease.
Su Zhan then began to think about what to do next.
First of all, Lin Qingshan did suggest a path, but Su Zhan did not intend to stake everything on the so-called Fierce Dragon Gang.
All of this was because of the cross-eyed man and his gang of thugs he encountered after entering the city.
Those cross-eyed men and thugs were both Han Chinese, and their actions were far from good.
And since the underground world of Stone City is controlled by the Fierce Dragon Gang, does that mean that the Fierce Dragon Gang is also a den of iniquity?
Su Zhan did not believe that Han Chinese would be lenient towards each other on the grasslands.
Sometimes, when you're out and about, the people who are most ruthless to you are often your own kind.
Therefore, Su Zhan had to remind himself to be more careful and never fall into someone else's trap.
Afterwards, Su Zhan let out a long sigh of relief and fell into a deep sleep.
The inn was bustling with activity early the next morning. It was full of merchants traveling from the south to the north, all of whom were setting off early to continue their business.
After a night's rest, Su Zhan felt much better, except for some soreness and numbness in his arm.
He looked down from the mast on the second floor and saw that the inn was bustling with activity.
