Chapter 6: The Way of the Fang Immortal
Then let's go!" After saying this, he directly walked towards the outside of the stockade
Chen Jiu: "I ... ... "
Then I'll call you Fatty! Chen Jiu declared with finality
"Excuse me, may I ask where Qinglongzhai is?" The voice was warm and gentle, making one feel as if they were soaking in a hot spring
Then Chen Jiu seemed to have encountered something frightening: "Do you have any connections with that notorious Qinglong Village?"
Chen Jiu smiled gently: "Let's go, are you ready?"
I have a good impression of this chubby fellow, Chen Jiu. Although he is somewhat gluttonous and lazy, he is still very loyal and principled.
Passing by, I encountered a group of busy bandits, who were constantly greeting one another
After putting down his weapon and greeting a few guards, he hurriedly ran towards Chen Jiu
As Chen Jiu was truly about to leave, the fat man slapped his belly and said, "Come on, you are so close with the boss; when the time comes, asking for a favor from you will be a piece of cake. Up here in the mountains, this mouth has long since faded away!"
As the man walked away, the胖子 and Uncle Zhong were about to speak when Chen Jiu shot a fierce glare at the two of them. He then said, "This guy is going to cause trouble for the Qinglong Stronghold. Hahaha, this malignant tumor of the Qinglong Stronghold is finally going to be eradicated. It truly brings great relief to the heart. It saves us three from trouble; otherwise, I would have to personally eliminate the Qinglong Stronghold!"
Chen Jiu shook his head: "This is not acceptable"
Chen hetushu .com .com Zhong Wenyan's lips moved slightly a few times, and after a while, he muttered in a muffled voice: "This, this is not in accordance with the rules"
After a pause, Chen Jiu said: "How about I call you Uncle Zhong?"
When he reached the village gate, it was still the same few bandits from that day. Chen Jiu couldn't help but smile: "Why are you still on guard? Is there no rotation?"
Although the fat man and Chen Zhong claimed not to understand why Chen Jiu said that, both of them were quite perceptive. They instinctively stood beside Chen Jiu, adopting a defensive posture.
Then how should I address you?" The chubby man, his breath slightly steadied, asked.
A moment of speechlessness, Chen Jiu somewhat underestimated the shamelessness of the fat man
The fat man squatted down, gasping for a moment, and then looked at Chen Jiu with a gaze that seemed to say he was an idiot: "Aren't you here too? You're the one who lured me down the mountain!"
Chen Jiu tidied up his clothes simply, only packing away the most valuable items. As for some other belongings, he dared not touch them as they were of little importance. He knew that these bandits were quite shrewd; if they noticed any flaws and saw him act as if he were leaving for good, he would certainly not be able to escape this stronghold. Chen Jiu was not foolish enough to take such risks.
Chen Jiuzhan smiled, and at that moment, a voice called out from behind: "Little Boss, wait for me!"
The simple-hearted man followed behind: "Chief, do we not need to report back to the head of the household regarding the illustrations?"
The man nodded and said, "I have nothing much to prepare. If one person is full, the whole family is not hungry. I can set off at any time"
Only then did Chen Jiu wrap the mud around the body of the mountain chicken
He spoke while assuming a defensive posture
The three swallowed hard, and Chen Jiu made a gesture as if he were swallowing his words, pointing in the direction of Qinglongzhai.
Assuming a posture of persuasion, the man in white casually flicked his hand, chipping away a corner of the massive stone in the distance: "Brother, how about this sword of mine?"
The chubby man on one side strangely said: "Why are you wasting food, hey hey hey, what are you doing with the mud?"
Looking at the simple-hearted man, Chen Jiu had a faint smile at the corner of his mouth: "Brother, may I ask how to address you?"
Chen Jiu shook his head: "No need to report, the head of the family already knows I am going down the mountain"
After speaking, he vanished into the distance
Seeing Chen Zhong's puzzled gaze, Chen Jiu explained: "You are older than I am; it would not be a problem for you to be a senior of my father's generation, so how could I possibly call you Zhongzi!"
Chen Jiu looked at the fat man and then shook his head helplessly: "Now that we are coming down from the mountain, this title needs to be changed. If you call me 'Little Chief', it would expose our identity as bandits, and I fear we would be captured as soon as we enter the city"
The overweight man simply sat down on the ground, as his excess flesh was truly a burden, and after running such a long distance, he was already exhausted
The speed of the three individuals was not very fast; they only descended the mountain at noon. By the time it was dark, they had only traveled a little over ten miles from the foot of the mountain, just along the road they were passing.
"Alright, you need not stand guard here any longer. Come down the mountain with me today!" Chen Jiu said, looking at the stout man.
In the past, Chen Jiuba was reluctant to leave this place filled with filth and clutter, but when the day of departure truly arrived, he unexpectedly felt a tinge of reluctance, a faint sense of attachment
Chen Jiu picked up a mountain chicken and began to continuously knead the wet clay
After tidying up briefly, I opened the door, and the seemingly simple-minded man was already standing outside, waiting.
Regardless of how this fat man makes his choice, Chen Jiu ultimately gave him a glimmer of hope. Whether he can seize it depends on himself; if he cannot grasp it, then it can only be deemed as fate, leaving him with no recourse.
Said that the front foot was sold out
In the distance, the man in white displayed a look of disdain: "They truly do not know what they are talking about. Encountering me is their stroke of luck; otherwise, these three fools would have left nothing behind after entering the Azure Dragon Stronghold!"
The man in white nodded and said, "Thank you!" before transforming into a streak of light
The response of several guards is that only the fat man is not only shaking his buttocks.
Looking at this place where he has lived for eight years, Chen Jiu feels a sense of reluctance. This is Chen Jiu's root in this world. After struggling for eight years in such a strange world, being utterly alone without any relatives truly makes one feel isolated.
The man glanced at Chen Jiu and then looked down at his shoes: "You can just call me Zhongzi, my full name is Chen Zhong!"
A soft sigh: "I, Chen Jiu, am ultimately not without desires; it is better to return!"
In this remote area, with no village in front and no shop behind, the three individuals quickly came to an agreement and started a fire. After catching a few wild game, they began to barbecue.
At this point, Chen Qi relaxed his mind and let down his guard
Looking at the panting fat man, Chen Jiu chuckled and teased, "What, are you not afraid of the boss punishing you?"
Chen Jiu watched as this person traversed the mountains alone, walking in the darkness, seemingly unafraid of the Qinglong Stronghold, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat
Seeing Chen Jiu's astonished expression, the chubby man burst into hearty laughter, startling a flock of birds.
Ah! The chubby one grew a mouth and shook his head vigorously: "I won't choose at all!"
Then he pointed to himself and said, "You can call me Xiao Jiu, because I like to drink!"
Upon hearing Chen Jiu's words, the overweight man anxiously scratched his head, which was already balding, with only a few sparse strands of hair remaining. At that moment, as he scratched, even more hair fell out.
At the moment when the stout man was feeling indignant, the sound of footsteps startled several people awake. Dressed in white, he appeared like a distinguished young gentleman, his features clearly visible in the firelight
The two turned their heads and saw a meatball wobbling down the mountain, chasing after them. It was truly unexpected how this fellow could be so fat
Chen Jiu fixed his gaze on Chen Zhong's face: "I say that rules are rules, and besides, this has nothing to do with the rules. This is my own choice, out of respect for an elder. Otherwise, how can you expect me to address someone of my father's generation by a nickname? That would also be disrespectful to my father, even though I don't know if I still have a father!"
Chen Jiu shook his head: "No, the Qinglong Stronghold is filled with heinous criminals. You are all alone; I cannot tell you, as it would be tantamount to sending you to your death. To inform you would be to bring you harm!"
The man in white smiled gently and said, "You have misunderstood, several of you. The Qinglong Stronghold owes me something, and I naturally must go to retrieve it. I kindly ask you to inform me!"
Chen Jiulue fell into deep thought, glanced at Chen Zhong and the fat man, then pointed at Chen Zhong and said to the fat man: "Call Uncle Zhong"
On one side are the orders of the boss, and on the other side is the opportunity to descend the mountain and enjoy oneself; this truly places the fat man in a predicament.
Seeing that this fat man was truly taken away by Chen Jiu, the others behind shouted loudly: "Dead pig, are you really disregarding the orders of the boss!"
The overweight man walked over, looking as if he had a heavy heart, and said: "Sigh, enough of that. Yesterday, the chief took his wife to the mountains to gather herbs and happened to catch us in our lazy state. In his anger, the chief punished us to guard this place for half a month!"
At this point, Chen Jiu's voice grew somber
Chen Zhongwen looked at Chen Jiu for a while, his eyes shining brighter than ever, and nodded slightly: "Good!"
Chen Jiu smiled after looking at the indecisive fat man: "If you don't make a decision soon, I will be leaving!"
Finally, I looked at the layers of fat on the fat man and shook my head helplessly: "As for you, choose one between a dead pig and a fat pig!"
