"After all, you can't write two characters of Luo with one stroke. You are confusing right and wrong in front of me. Aren't you looking down on me?" Luo Cang raised his eyebrows and spoke slowly.
Du Zhang almost exploded with the breath he was holding in.
No matter how much drama there was in previous years, this great man never appeared to seek justice for the Luo family. Even Luo Laogou himself should know that he would not be invited unless the family's survival was in danger. But now, why did such a small matter require the intervention of this great god?
Besides, who among those present could know more than him? This person's surname wasn't even Luo! He had no connection to the Luo family at all, so how could he so calmly say, "You can't write two Luo characters with one stroke"?
————————
After the Du family, forced to cede territory and pay compensation by taking advantage of Luo Cang's influence and humiliating the country, left in frustration and anger, the Luo clan leader sent the elders away and returned to the hall to bow to Luo Cang: "Thank you so much for your help today, sir."
"It doesn't matter." Luo Cang waved his hand casually, "Your son is a good one, smart and lovable."
Seeing a hint of uncontrollable pride on the face of Luo Clan leader, Luo Cang unconsciously revealed a faint smile: "However, Jiujiang still needs some further polishing, so I will leave him in Beixue Garden for the next few days."
Chief Luo's eyes lit up, and the hand stroking his long beard couldn't help but tighten its grip a bit. "This is my son's honor. If there's anything I haven't done well, I hope you'll be willing to give me some pointers. You can give me a beating or a scolding."
"Yeah." Luo Cang had no intention of playing along with these favors, and just casually replied, "Goodbye."
In his opinion, Patriarch Luo didn't need to worry about this - he had trained Luo Jiujiang by throwing and beating, but he had never shown mercy or courtesy to him.
Luo Jiujiang, who had always been beaten by Luo Cang, was now in a dilemma in the cave.
He didn't have much experience dealing with snakes, so he was probably more familiar with sea snakes. However, sea snakes were docile and generally wouldn't attack—except when he'd tied a bunch of them into a large knot. But for some reason, the snakes in this cave were swarming towards him like crazy!
Snakes are animals that attack very quickly. They can launch more than ten attacks in one breath. When Luo Jiujiang first went down into the cave, he didn't understand the situation clearly, and in the blink of an eye, four or five snakes were hanging on his body.
At first, he considered whether he should remain still and treat his wound, fearing the venom of the snake's fangs might be present. But he quickly gave up the question: even though he couldn't see or hear, he could tell from the cool, sticky serpents that kept slamming against his skin that he was in a constant state of confusion. He had somehow become the target of every snake in the area—and quite possibly the entire cave!
Standing still is useless, as snakes hunt primarily by scent and heat.
Standing still could indeed delay the onset of the snake venom, which might or might not exist, but judging from his current situation, it was more likely that he would be bitten to death by these snakes before the venom took effect!
Even though he was in such a dangerous situation, Luo Jiujiang couldn't help but laugh at this absurd yet true black humor: I have only heard of people being killed by snake venom and strangulation, but who has ever heard of dying by a snake bite?
Besides, there are more than just snakes in this cave...
Luo Jiujiang stabbed straight down with his knife, nailing a scorpion that was crawling on his feet to the ground. He then wrapped his sleeve around his hand and quickly brushed away something that was falling from above, bringing up a little airflow.
Judging from the vague feeling I just had when I touched it through my sleeve, it was probably a big spider with bared fangs and claws and legs covered with bristles.
Just as he was cutting the two long snakes, Luo Jiujiang lost his balance and stepped on something without a shell or armor - probably a toad.
There were countless snakes that pounced on Luo Jiujiang one after another. Luo Jiujiang was swiftly and hurriedly using his knife to deal with them, while cursing madly in his heart.
How did his master train these snakes?
Luo Jiujiang was now blind and deaf, and his sword swinging accuracy had declined, not to mention that he could only rely on the airflow caused by the snake's leaping to locate the enemy's position. If he wasn't quick enough to react, he would be bitten. His hands and feet were in a panic and he was almost stretched to the limit.
From the time he heard the wind until now, only a blink of an eye has passed.
Luo Jiujiang straightened up, blade still pointed in the direction of the attack. His eyes were solemn and filled with anger: the force of that arrow was no joke. If he was really hit, his head would probably explode.
The moment he swung his sword to cut the arrow, the muscles in his arm had already exploded with a strength that was unimaginable to ordinary people. But even so, the recoil he received from the arrow still made his entire right arm numb until now.
Even someone as magnanimous as Luo Jiujiang couldn't help but feel a surge of rage at this moment. With such force and angle, it was truly a lethal arrow, aimed at killing him! He didn't know what deep hatred he had with someone that could lead to this.
The man who attacked him didn't dodge or evade, but stood carelessly on the eaves. When he saw Luo Jiujiang looking at him, his face showed no shame for attacking him from behind. Instead, he sneered, "You have sharp ears. I saved your life."
The man had a very distinctive appearance. If one pulled his hair and pressed it into the paste, the resulting mold would be exactly what Du Di would look like as an adult.
Looking at it this way, there is no need to identify this person's identity - who else could it be but Du Di's elder brother who has returned from traveling?
