Chapter 22: A strange knock on the door at night, brother, let's play football together



Ermazi came to Zhou Chen and asked.

Upon hearing this, Wild Dog and others looked at Zhou Chen.

"How else can you watch? Stand and watch!"

Zhou Chen spread his hands and said directly: "I'm just a hunter, not a detective. Of course, I'll report this to the police!"

After he knew that the murderer might not be a human, he had no intention of interfering in other people's business. Now he earned a thousand romantic points a night.

Even if First Blood has a bonus, it shouldn't be a problem to earn a few hundred points later, right? As long as he survives for a while, his cultivation will skyrocket and his strength will increase greatly.

Why bother causing trouble?

After saying that, Zhou Chen just left.

Wild Dog and Ermaizi quickly followed, like lackeys.

"Brother Chen, I heard that Zhang Laoer went hunting in the mountains yesterday and seemed to have encountered something dirty. And it happened again last night. I'm afraid he really encountered..."

There was fear in the wild dog's eyes. Not to mention ordinary people, even Zhou Chen, who was practicing martial arts, didn't want to provoke these things.

"Then I won't go up the mountain recently!"

After sending the two away, Zhou Chen went home with a frown.

He still has ten taels of silver, which is enough for him to live for a while, but what about after that?

If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet.

If you go hunting often, you will always come across those things.

"This village is not very safe. The city is relatively more secure. Besides, hunting is not a long-term job..."

Zhou Chen was more interested in moving to the city.

Large prey take a long time to grow. As Zhou Chen hunts more, there will be fewer prey nearby. Besides, prey are not stupid.

They are very sensitive and will migrate if they find the area dangerous. In the future, Zhou Chen will have to go deeper when hunting.

The deeper you go, the greater the danger.

"I can sell Yang Dingtian in the city, but it's too busy for me to sell alone, and I will be coveted by others. I must find a backer..."

Zhou Chen couldn't help but think of Zhang Long in his mind, maybe he could go and eat the emperor's food.

Although not everyone can eat the imperial grain, he can show some strength, such as the first level of body refining.

This way, you won't be too eye-catching, and you can gain some power and status, and reduce a lot of trouble.

"But we can't rush there. It's better to let others take the initiative to recruit..."

Zhou Chen was thinking about his future path.

The Daqian Dynasty has ruled the world for 800 years and is still relatively stable today. Even though it is on the decline, it cannot be shaken by other gangs or families.

so.

For the time being, it is best to get a job, eat and drink for free, and grow stronger through survival.

As for being a lone ranger?

hehe.

These days, uninhabited and remote places are haunted by strange creatures, which are the most dangerous. You won’t even know how you died.

Places with a lot of people are less weird and relatively safe, but where there are people there are conflicts. If you want to avoid trouble, it is best to find a big backer.

Although this will certainly cause some troubles, it is better than the Mavericks. After all, he is not pursuing promotion, which can reduce a lot of power struggles.

"Brother Chen, what's wrong?"

Qin Hongyu got up and saw Zhou Chen frowning in thought, and said worriedly.

"It's okay, it's just that Zhang Laoer's family was murdered last night, and all six members of the family lost their heads!"

"ah!"

Qin Hongyu was shocked. She didn't expect that when she woke up, the weather outside had changed.

A tragic case of annihilation of an entire family.

Thinking that the person who was talking and laughing with her just now was separated from her in the blink of an eye, Qin Hongyu felt a little uncomfortable and frightened, and could not help but reach out and hug Zhou Chen tightly.

"Don't worry, I will protect you!"

Zhou Chen gently patted her smooth jade back and used his arms to hold her body tightly.

"Brother Chen, you must be hungry. I'll go cook!"

Qin Hongyu suddenly trembled, her face turned red, and she quickly pushed Zhou Chen away and ran to the kitchen to cook.

Zhou Chen looked down and smiled.

That was his greatest affirmation of a woman.

certainly.

He would not tell Qin Hongyu that his soul had actually gone back to the Fengyue Treasure Mirror and was earning points from Ji Fengxia! "Squeak..."

The little fox ran over and jumped onto Zhou Chen's legs, nudging its little head against Zhou Chen's chest with an intimate look.

Obviously it's well-trained.

Just like cats and dogs.

He rubbed the little fox's furry body and stroked it for a while before putting it down.

Zhou Chen picked up the Luoxia Bow.

He has now reached the second level of physical training, but he has never really practiced hard on his own.

Holding the Luoxia bow, an extremely familiar feeling surged into his heart. Zhou Chen stood still skillfully, pulled the bowstring, and became one with the arrow, gently pushing the body-building posture.

His muscles seemed to vibrate with the bow and arrow, tempering his body.

Qi and blood circulate rapidly in the body.

After a while, Zhou Chen, who was already hungry, became even hungrier.

Practicing martial arts consumes the most energy.

What's more, Yi's archery is a superior martial art, which is faster to practice than ordinary martial arts and consumes more energy.

"It's still faster to add some. How long can you practice by yourself? It consumes a lot of energy!"

Zhou Chen put away the bow and added the dozen or so Fengyue points he had just acquired.

In an instant.

Zhou Chen could clearly feel that his strength had increased a little bit, as if he had been training hard for a month.

Whether you are refining the skin or the flesh, practicing will make your entire body stronger, but the emphasis is different in each realm.

"Brother Chen, it's time to eat!"

“Here it comes!”

Zhou Chen put down his bow and ate with Qin Hongyu.

The little fox lay on the side, and Zhou Chen ate while feeding it.

After dinner.

Qin Hongyu cleaned up and washed the dishes, and Zhou Chen did not go to the kitchen to make trouble this time.

It was already very hard before.

After all, you won’t feel bad if someone else’s things are damaged, but you will definitely feel bad for your own wife.

Miao Tong: “…”

Zhou Chen went back to his room to take a nap, while his soul was training Ji Fengxia in the Mirror of Romance.

Ji Fengxia’s cultivation level has broken through and she is full of motivation.

Just like a manual transmission turned into an automatic transmission.

Zhou Chen didn't even need to shift gears manually, he just needed to hold the steering wheel tightly and control the accelerator and brake.

After Qin Hongyu cleaned up the kitchen, she cleaned up the room, and finally she happily took the cloth that Zhou Chen bought yesterday to make clothes!

Zhou Chen was half lying on the bed watching like a landlord, except for two maids who were there to massage his shoulders and back and make tea and pour water.

While Zhou Chen was enjoying his leisure time at home, Zhang Long brought his men to Dahe Village again.

"Boss, we have found out the information about Zhou Chen, but we can only find out about the past ten years. They came to Dahe Village and settled there ten years ago!"

Zhao Hu followed Zhang Long and said, "Zhou Chen's performance was mediocre before. His master, Old Man Cao, is good at archery and also knows some skills in bone massage and bone setting."

"After Old Man Cao was eaten by a vicious tiger, the villagers ate up all the food stored in Zhou Chen's family in the name of burying him. Then Zhou Chen went hunting alone and came back to find Old Man Qin!"

"Old man Qin originally accepted ten taels of silver to betroth Qin Hongyu to Old man Cao as his wife. They were about to get married, but then something happened to Old man Cao."

"Generally speaking, Old Man Qin would either return the money or marry Qin Hongyu to Zhou Chen. However, Old Man Qin wanted to deny the debt, so Zhou Chen put a knife to his neck and finally married his mistress home!"

"The next day, he encountered the wild dog Er Mazi and beat up the two of them. After that, he showed his excellent hunting skills..."

Zhao Hu recounted Zhou Chen's deeds in detail and said with emotion:

"It seems that Zhou Chen has grown a lot since Old Man Cao's death!"

"All the food he had stored was eaten up, and the woman he was supposed to inherit is still being evaded. He has to grow up!"

Another constable, Yang Dagen, laughed.

Zhang Long nodded: "Before, Zhou Chen was under the protection of old man Cao, so his talent was not obvious. Now that old man Cao is dead, he can only face it alone. Either he explodes in silence, or he dies in silence!"

"With his abilities, if he still dies in silence, he would be a useless piece of crap!"

Zhang Long was very satisfied with Zhou Chen's subsequent performance.

Zhou Chen most likely practiced martial arts and even mastered the art. His archery skills were also extraordinary. If such a person was bullied by ordinary villagers, he would be a complete waste.

While talking.

Zhang Long brought Zhao Hu, Yang Dagen and Yang Dali to the crime scene, and they no longer talked about Zhou Chen.

"hiss!"

Seeing the scene, Zhao Hu's mouth twitched and his eyelids twitched wildly.

Zhang Long frowned. This didn't seem like something a human would do.

Most people wouldn't kill someone and then kick their head like a ball, unless they were particularly perverted.

After an investigation, he found a lot of blood at the scene, but no trace of other people, which made him even more suspicious.

There were no other clues and it was getting late, so Zhang Long decided to stay in Dahe Village for one night.

He and his three men lived in the home of the village chief Qin Jianghe.

at the same time.

He also intentionally or unintentionally inquired about Zhou Chen's news and Qin Jianghe's evaluation and opinions of Zhou Chen.

When Zhou Chen heard that Zhang Long had arrived, he and other villagers gave him a simple welcome and then returned home.

Nightfall.

Zhou Chen picked up Qin Hongyu and entered the room, pulled back the quilt, and crawled in.

"Brother Chen..."

The night became hot.

It was unknown how long it had been before Ji Fengxia, who was inseparable from Zhou Chen in the Fengyue Treasure Mirror, suddenly spoke up: "Master, there are ghosts approaching!"

"Um?"

Zhou Chen suddenly raised his head, his eyes shining with brilliance, his soul instantly returned to its place, and he stood up.

"Ah, Brother Chen, what's wrong..."

Qin Hongyu looked confused and puzzled.

“There’s something!”

Zhou Chen didn't linger and quickly put on his clothes.

When Qin Hongyu heard this, her body trembled, the spring in her eyes was immediately replaced by fear, and she hurriedly put on her clothes.

"whee……"

“Hehehe…”

"Big brother, let's play ball together..."

Along with a terrible chill, the innocent laughter of children was heard outside the door.

Qin Hongyu's body trembled, goose bumps appeared on her body, and her legs were shaking.

"Big brother, let's play ball together..."

"I'm kidding you!"
