Become a Taoist from a woodcutter

Chapter 32 A woodcutter in the snow
At noon the next day, steward Zhang Ji was found dead in his room by his servants.

No one heard the sound, and someone crushed his throat. I don’t know who did it.

They did not suspect Chu Jiang. In the eyes of outsiders, he was just an ordinary woodcutter.

Moreover, Manager Zhang has offended many people, especially since Zhang Ji has been so domineering recently.

Instinctively, they blamed Dongchu Shop for this matter.

Chujiang had already entered the mountains to collect firewood.

This time he delivered firewood to his door and waited until both loads of firewood were sold before returning home.

Lin Bo stood at the door, his face full of sadness.

"Uncle Lin, what's going on?" Chu Jiang stepped forward and asked.

"Something happened." Uncle Lin sighed bitterly: "This little bastard Qinghe actually stabbed someone."

"What's going on?" Chu Jiang asked.

Lin Qinghe was notoriously coward, but he actually dared to risk his life with a knife?

"It's not Zhang Ji's shop, Lin's shop, they are at war with Dong Chu."

Lin Bo sighed: "Master Ping called the big bear back, and Qinghe followed."

"Injured?" Chu Jiang asked.

"I got stabbed." Lin Bo said with worry on his face: "I want to bring him back, but he doesn't want to come back."

"Why don't you want to come back?" Chu Jiang asked again.

"He said he wanted to make a future. I want him to come back to study. How can he risk his life to make a future? Chu Shanping is a bandit and bully." Lin Bo scolded.

Chu Jiang sighed softly: "You want me to persuade him?"

"He listens to you." Lin Bo said.

Chu Jiang shook his head: "I can't persuade them. I'm not with them. I've been separated from them a long time ago."

Lin Bo looked at him blankly: "What should we do?"

"Everyone has his own choice." Chu Jiang said calmly.

At that time, he made an excuse to leave, but Lin Qinghe did not come out with him. He had already made a decision.

He was timid, but he knew what it meant to follow the bear, and he didn't flinch.

"I, I am just such a son." Lin Bo murmured, very much like the original Big Bear.

Big Bear only had one younger brother left, so he tried his best to give Er Xiong a good life.

Lin Bo only has one son, and he just wants him to be safe and take the safest road.

Chu Jiang entered the room without saying anything.

I made soup and absorbed the power of water from the well.

At midnight, I checked my fortune again. There was white light in the north and south, calm in the east and west, and calm at home.

The three major shops were fighting, and no one cared about him anymore.

Chu Jiang's life became calm again, but he had to face Uncle Lin's frown every day.

Lin Qinghe came back for a visit and had a big quarrel.

Chu Jiang no longer saw timidity on his face, but only unruly and cruelty.

He transformed and became a ruthless person, no longer the coward he was before.

However, she didn't change in front of him. She was still the same as before, with a submissive look on her face and calling her "brother" every time.

Without the Zhang family causing trouble, Chu Jiang sold the firewood directly to his neighbors in the town.

Since firewood is scarce and there are many people, the supply is always in short supply.

Chujiang did not collect more firewood, only two loads per day, first come, first served.

Time passed, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Zizhi has eaten all of it, and his strength has reached a terrifying level.

Twenty-seven stones!

The power of 3,200 kilograms!

He didn't know how powerful Big Bear was now, and he couldn't be stronger than him.

After absorbing the power of water again, Chu Jiang checked his fortune.

A pale light rose and enveloped five directions. Even if he was at home, he would not be immune.

"The swords were bloody and the three major shops were fighting everywhere? Did the entire Dongjiang Town get involved?" Chu Jiang frowned and thought.

Under normal circumstances, the merger of the three major shops would not involve ordinary people.

After all, these common people are the source of their money, and they are expected to create wealth. But this time, white light shrouded the entire Dongjiang Town.

Chu Jiang sighed, it was unavoidable and he could only wait until tomorrow to see the situation.

Lie down, rest, and recuperate.

One night passed, and before dawn the next day, Chu Jiang got up.

The wind and snow were howling, and the night was dark, but it couldn't block his sight.

Put on two sets of clothes, one black and one green, wearing a bamboo hat, picked up a hatchet and carrying pole, ready to go out for a walk.

Uncle Lin just went out: "Going into the mountains so early?"

"Look around and see if anyone's house is short of firewood. Send it to them directly when you come back." Chu Jiang said.

Lin Bo nodded and left quickly without further chatting. He had to go to work.

Looking at Uncle Lin in the wind and snow, Chu Jiang sighed slightly. They are all miserable people who wake up early and work hard at night.

He left the house and walked on the street, and before he knew it, he came near Chu Jun's house.

Chu Jun was carrying Er Xiong on his back, coming through the wind and snow, with Lin Qinghe, Liu Zi, and Die'er following behind.

"Where are we going?" Chu Jiang asked.

"Brother Jiang." Erxiong called out first.

Chu and Jun also shouted and said: "Brother Big Bear said something is going to happen, so let us take the two bears to avoid it."

"Something happened?" Chu Jiang frowned and said, "Three major shops?"

"Not only that, Chu Qianlin is from the Yulong Gang in the county. He has brought people from the county to Dongjiang Town."

Chu Jun said in a low voice: "There are dozens of people on their way here. There is trouble in Dongjiang Town."

"The Fish Dragon Gang?" Chu Jiang frowned.

"Yes, now that Chu Qianlin has controlled most of Dong Chu's power, Chu Shanping can only protect himself."

Erxiong explained: "Calculate the time, in half an hour, the people from the Yulong Gang will enter the town."

"Brother, you go into the mountains to collect firewood." Chu Jun said, "You can avoid it by going to the mountains. You can come back after the storm has passed."

Chu Jiang didn't make a sound.

Er Xiong said: "Brother, my eldest brother asked me to say something. If I see you, say sorry. I can't protect you from fishing in the future."

After saying that, Chu Jun took Er Xiong and left quickly.

They did not go home, but kept walking forward. It seemed that they had a hiding place.

Everyone in the town knew that they had a good relationship and would definitely find out about their home.

Chu Jiang sighed softly: "The world... is quite chaotic."

I put on my hat and walked forward in the wind and snow.

Erxiong looked back and looked at the figure holding the bamboo hat. His expression froze slightly and he couldn't help but call out: "Brother..."

There was no response, and Chu Jiang had disappeared into the wind and snow.

He walked west, but it was not the road into the mountains, but the road leading to the county town.

The county seat is in the west, through the mountain road, and after walking for twenty or thirty miles, we arrive.

Chu Jiang came to the road, put down his carrying pole, and braved the wind and snow to change his clothes. He wore black clothes and covered his face.

I took a sip of wine, lowered my hat, held my hatchet in my arms, and sat on a stone by the roadside, listening to the howling of the wind and snow, feeling peaceful.

Tread
A quarter of an hour later, the sound of horse hooves came closer and changed from the sound of wind and snow.

Fifteen skinny horses, with two people sitting on them, and three donkeys, also with two people sitting on them.

Thirty-six people, all of them are filled with heat, are not afraid of wind and snow, and are all good players.

"Who are you?"

A man in the lead reined in the reins and looked at Chu Jiang solemnly.

"The firewood collector." Chu Jiang said calmly: "The Yulong Gang?"

"Those who collect firewood, do you know about our Yulong Gang?" The man sneered: "If you don't go away to collect firewood, but dare to block my way, which of the guards of that old guy Chu Shanping is he?"

"Stop talking nonsense, just kill him, don't delay important things."

A young man grabbed the horse's belly and galloped away amid the turbulent wind and snow. He unsheathed the sword on his waist and slashed towards the Chu River.

call

The wind howled, there was a shrill wail, a flash of knife light lit up, and two heads soared into the sky...
