Ruthless Seeker

The day after hunting, Gu Zhuo was practicing when he received an invitation from Zhang Lang.

"Brother Gu, thanks to you guys for helping me at the critical moment, otherwise I would be in danger. My father hopes to invite you to our house for dinner to express his gratitude." Zhang Lang said gratefully.

"Brother Zhang, you are too kind. I just did what I should do. I heard that Brother Zhang is a grateful person, and it is true today... Gu has long wanted to make friends with Brother Zhang, so I will obey your order."

Gu Zhuo took the opportunity to praise Zhang Lang.

Zhang Lang was originally a little ashamed of his performance in hunting, but he blushed when he heard Gu Zhuo's praise, and his liking for Gu Zhuo increased greatly because of Gu Zhuo's humility.

"I have to invite a few others, so I'll go first." The more Zhang Lang heard Gu Zhuo's praise, the redder his face became, and he felt that he was doing it again.

Gu Zhuo went back to the house to continue practicing until the sun set.

Gu Zhuo greeted his aunt and walked towards Zhang Lang's house.

Many people greeted Gu Zhuo along the way.

Gu Zhuo performed well in the hunting team, and the whole village believed that Gu Zhuo would at least be a captain in the future, so many people have been trying to get close to Gu Zhuo recently.

Gu Zhuo was dismissive of this. When he was poor and helpless, they were like blind people, and now they were rushing to be good people, which was extremely hypocritical, but he still responded with a standard fake smile.

After all, he was still in the village, so he had to be more careful in doing things.

When Gu Zhuo arrived at Zhang Lang's house, he was shocked. He originally thought that as the only blacksmith in the village, Zhang Lang's family should live in a good house.

It turned out to be just a thatched house and a yard surrounded by a fence, with only one door to pass through.

Out of courtesy, Gu Zhuo knocked on the door.

"Bang bang bang"

"I'm coming! I'm coming!" Zhang Lang's voice came from the yard.

Opening the door, there were some blacksmithing tools in the yard.

An old man was shirtless, revealing his strong and solid body.

His skin was tanned by the sun, and his muscles were clearly defined, as hard as steel. Sweat flowed down his forehead and dripped onto the hot iron block, making a "hissing" sound.

The old man held a big hammer and kept hitting the iron block in front of him. His eyes were focused and firm. He didn't seem to care about Gu Zhuo's arrival.

"Come in with me first, and wait for Dad to finish the work in a while." Zhang Lang said helplessly.

"My father is obsessed with ironwork and has exchanged all the money in the family for ironwork materials and tools." Zhang Lang added that Gu Zhuo was curious about his father.

After entering the house, Gu Zhuo found that Liu Wu had arrived early.

Liu Wu also stepped forward and hugged Gu Zhuo generously when he saw Gu Zhuo.

"Brother Gu is here too? Hahaha, Brother Gu is really brave. I, Liu Wu, have few opponents so far. Meeting you is like meeting a confidant," Liu Wu laughed.

"Brother Liu's performance in hunting also impressed Gu Mou." Gu Zhuo still smiled at him.

"Come on, Brother Gu, Brother Zhang, have a drink!" Liu Wu raised his glass.

Gu Zhuo looked at Zhang Lang, as if asking if he didn't need to wait for his father.

Zhang Lang quickly said, "Brother Gu, don't be shy. Brother Cui can't come because of something. My father has already said that we should drink first and he will join us when he finishes his work."

He raised his glass, and Gu Zhuo followed suit.

"Cheers!"

The sky was full of stars, and the night sky was like a huge black velvet cloth dotted with countless bright stars. The village fell silent, and only the Zhang family was still brightly lit.
