Chapter 238 Challenge
Lin Li glared at him, "How is that possible!"
"So, do you have a partner? Or are you already...engaged?"
Lin Li sighed and said, "Neither! I can't discuss the boss's personal situation. Just know that I support them both."
Zhou Jin raised his neck to ask again, and Lin Li said:
"You get excited when this matter is mentioned. Now you don't blame yourself or feel depressed anymore!"
Zhou Jin immediately wilted and shut up.
"Hurry up and take a rest. We'll go out for a walk later."
"oh!"

Day and night alternate, morning and evening follow each other.
Su Tong and Qin Yi spent twelve hours by this hot spring that was almost isolated from the outside world.
When Qin Yi got up from the hot spring again, his legs had gradually regained sensation and he could walk freely.
The magical Chinese medicine combined this medicinal spring water with natural geothermal heat to dispel the coldness in Qin Yi's legs that was left over from many years ago.
Su Tong said: "Brother Yi! Your legs got cold while performing the mission, so nature also gave you such a hot spring in return. This is God's reward for the warrior!"
Qin Yi smiled and said, "Yes! God has been kind to me!"
God has been kind to me!
Otherwise, how could I meet you.
"Your legs can walk normally now, but our treatment was too hasty. Although the hot spring water has helped you get rid of the cold, you still need to take medicine in the later stage to completely eliminate the root cause."
"Also, you must remember that you cannot use brute force for at least a week. That means you cannot resort to violence. The number of acupuncture treatments is quite frequent this time, and your legs need time to recover. Remember that?"
Su Tong explained in a serious tone.
"A week?"
Qin Yi frowned slightly, "The Black Water Stream tests your martial arts skills. How can you pass it without any martial arts skills?"
"Don't even mention that you can't use your legs right now. Even if you try to use them, you won't be able to do it because you can't exert any strength at all! So you must completely give up the idea of using your legs for this week. You don't have to use your legs to pass the checkpoint. We'll think of a way after we get there. If it doesn't work, we'll learn from Brother Cai and the others to set up checkpoints on the road. After all, we're also gangsters, and who doesn't know how to rob gangsters?"
Su Tong bent his hips and spoke with confidence.
Qin Yi smiled again, "Okay! I'll listen to you! If not, we'll just rob the thieves!"
Su Tong looked at him and laughed too.
After laughing, she grabbed Qin Yi's backpack and took out a map from it with familiarity.
Qin Yi turned around obediently and cooperated with her, but his heart was filled with ups and downs.
Since when did the little girl become more comfortable with him and feel justified in searching his bag?
This made him both relieved and somewhat at a loss. He didn't know how to strike the right balance in his relationship with her.
Su Tong opened the map and pointed to the ellipse with wavy lines next to it that looked like it had hair on it.
"It suddenly occurred to me that this should be the sign of the hot spring. This location also matches the direction we were traveling yesterday. According to the map, we can reach Black Water Stream in less than an hour if we walk southeast. Brother Yi, what do you think?"
Qin Yi smiled again. As expected, she would not miss any details.
He resisted the urge to rub her head and gave her a thumbs up.
"Great! I think... your suggestion is good!"
——————
The two men headed southeast, and after only forty minutes, they saw a village vaguely appearing in front of them.
The only thing that could appear in this direction would be the Black Water Stream.
The village was halfway up the mountain, and it took more than half an hour to get up the mountain.
On the way up the mountain, we met two groups of people. One group was carrying a stretcher with a person lying on it. At a quick glance, the person's face was so bruised and swollen that he was unrecognizable. He was silent and we didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
Although the other group did not carry a stretcher, their expressions were gloomy, and when they passed by each other, their glances were full of vigilance and anger.
It was already dark, and no one knew where these people were going to go after they got down the mountain.
As soon as we entered the village, a local came up to greet us. He spoke not very fluent Mandarin and introduced himself as "Mao Jia".
I don't know if it's "jia" or "jia", anyway, it's pronounced this way, and judging by the features, he seems to be from the Yi ethnic group.
After communicating with him, I found out that this person was actually "selling" accommodation.
Qin Yi and Su Tong looked at each other, but did not refuse. They followed Mao Jia into the village and found that in addition to the locals, there were many outsiders with different clothes and accents.
In twos or threes, or in groups.
When they saw Qin Yi and the other two, they both gave them meaningful looks.
In addition, there were even local kids who came forward to sell medicine for injuries.
Mao Jia, who was leading the way, pushed the child away and said, "Go away! Don't steal my business!"
Afterwards, he scolded him a few words in dialect, and I guess it wasn't anything nice.
He turned around and smiled at Qin Yi flatteringly: "Boss! Don't pay attention to this brat. I also have medicine for injuries at home. It has a secret recipe! It's better than theirs!"
Mao Jia led them for nearly twenty minutes before they stopped at a wooden building on stilts. He pointed to a flickering fire on the left and said:
"Boss, look! I wasn't lying! Over there is the competition arena. You can watch the competition from the upstairs of my house!"
The two looked in the direction he pointed. There was an open space fifty meters away with a wide wooden platform in the middle. It was already dark at this time. There were huge bonfires burning on both sides of the platform, and people were lighting torches on the wooden frames around the field.
Qin Yi negotiated with Mao Jia for a few words and rented his small stilt house at a high price of thirty yuan a night.
Mao Jia seemed not very satisfied with the price. He continued to sell his family's ancestral medicine while opening the door.
Qin Yi did not respond until everyone climbed the wooden ladder into the wooden building. Then he took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to Mao Jia, and asked him about the situation in the village.
When Mao Jia saw the box of high-end cigarettes, his eyes lit up and he immediately told everything he knew.
According to his account, people started arriving in the village on the fifth and sixth day of the New Year.
There are two warriors in the village, and anyone who comes to take the test must challenge the two warriors.
You have to win both matches to pass the test.
There are two options. The first is to directly challenge two warriors, win both games, and pass.
The second is to defeat one of the warriors and then wait for the next person to step forward to challenge.
Wait until the next person to challenge also wins the first game, then the two can compete. The winner passes, and the loser can leave or continue to wait.
In short, you will pass the level if you win two games in total.
It sounds like it isn't that difficult.
Su Tong heard this and said, "Then we just need to win one game first and arrange our own people to play in the second game. Isn't it easy to pass?"
Mao Jia shook his head and smiled mysteriously.
"Nuda and Yangqi are very difficult to defeat! Even if you can win the first game by chance, you will probably lose half of your life..."
"What's more, if you choose the second option, a duel between two ordinary people, well... is not as simple as you think."
