No one would want to die if there is a chance to survive.
Er Goudan hesitated for only a second before handing his hand to Chu Mu.
A young man's hands should be soft, but Chu Mu felt calluses on this hand that were no less rough than Ping Niang's. One can imagine what kind of life Er Goudan usually lives.
The prey that was in hand disappeared, and the monster became furious and rushed towards Chu Mu screaming.
Chu Mu threw Er Gou Dan back and said, "Stay away."
In the blink of an eye, the monster used its hands and feet to pounce at Chu Mu's feet.
Chu Mu raised his eyebrows - since someone came to his door, he couldn't let their kindness go to waste.
He raised his foot and stepped on the creature before it stood up.
Boom——
It was like an iron stone hitting the ground, and the monster's head was as hard as metal.
Chu Mu put force on his feet and stomped hard.
Pop.
The weird thing broke.
Although the word "broken" is not quite appropriate, Er Goudan inexplicably felt that the strange thing was broken.
It was crushed by this handsome guy.
The hair around the monster lost its control and fell limply on the deck.
Those underwater monsters that were still circling the boat were not giving up, but they did not dare to move forward for the time being. They continued to wander in the nearby water, emerging from the water from time to time to wait and see.
"You - you killed Master Dong's servants. Master Dong will be angry and drive us away!" The shriveled old woman pointed at Chu Mu tremblingly.
As soon as she finished speaking, the rocks above the cave began to change.
A dense mass of human faces suddenly appeared on the huge stone. Those faces did not seem to be painted on, but rather it looked as if many people had really been eaten by the stone.
The expressions on those faces were different, but they were all very distorted and hideous, as if they had encountered something very terrifying.
"Master Dong is angry...Master Dong, please spare my life."
Led by the withered old woman, everyone on the boat knelt down and kowtowed.
"Kill him." The faces on the rock spoke together, all their eyes turning towards Chu Mu.
The goat-bearded man's face froze. "Master Dong, this young man is not tasty. I'll give you a more tender raw egg."
"Kill him!" The human face on the rock wall shouted even more fiercely, and his eyes were still staring at Chu Mu.
The man with the goatee glared at Pingniang fiercely: "It's all because of you, stupid woman. You can't even keep an eye on the people you brought with you."
"Uncle, no, this is the daughter-in-law of the Fan family. If something happens to her, how are we going to explain to the Fan family?" Pingniang knelt down and kowtowed.
Goatee was silent.
"Get them off the boat," the withered old woman said suddenly. "No one saw them get on board."
This one word woke everyone on the boat.
"Yes, besides Pingniang, who else knows that young man? She said she was the daughter-in-law of the Fan family. Could that be it?"
"That's right."
Seeing this, Pingniang panicked: "Brother, you are my husband's biological brother, you can't hurt me like this!"
The man with a goatee had a mean look and a sinister look in his eyes: "Kick them off the boat."
"Brother..." Pingniang wanted to beg for mercy, but was stopped by Chu Mu.
"There's a boat over there," Chu Mu pointed to the wooden boat stranded in the corner, "Er Gou Dan, can you row it?"
The boy nodded vigorously.
Chu Mu walked over and helped Pingniang up: "Let's go, let's take a boat."
Pingniang looked back at Chu Mu's calm face, and the panic in her heart seemed to be calmed down a lot.
She is a very smart woman. Without her man, even if this ship accommodates her today, she will definitely be the first to be abandoned if something happens in the future.
Pingniang gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
Here they were still some distance from the wooden boat, and Goatbeard refused to send them there, and urged them to get off the boat quickly.
"You really don't care about our old friendship at all." Pingniang felt hateful and pathetic.
Er Gou Dan, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly said, "I'll swim over and pull the boat over."
The strange creatures in the water still refused to disperse. If we went into the water now, we would not be able to swim, let alone pull the boat over.
Chu Mu waved his hand: "I don't need you."
He walked to the side of the boat and scooped out a bunch of long hair from the water with his bare hands, rolling it around his wrist as he scooped it out.
When one monster was not enough, he cut it in half with a dagger and then went to get another one.
Chu Mu stopped only after he had plucked out four ghosts.
During this time, the ghost in the water did not dare to attack him, and the stone face on the rock just watched him quietly, wanting to see what he was going to do.
This old man regarded Chu Mu and the others as his own prey, and gave them enough patience.
Chu Mu connected the collected hair together, tied his dagger to the end of the head, and then swung it out like a rope, accurately hooking the ship over there.
With a click, the wooden boat that had been stranded for who knows how long shook twice and was actually dragged over by Chu Mu.
The withered old woman was a little uneasy and whispered to the goateed man, "This young man has some skills. I wonder if he was taught by the Fan family?"
"No, no," the goatee said firmly, "Ping Niang said he was from Chenjiazhuang."
The Fan family, a family of Tianshi, has a history of over a hundred years.
All the men in the Fan family marry three or four wives, both men and women.
Women are responsible for continuing the Fan family's offspring, while male wives are mostly raised by the Fan family themselves to protect their descendants from disasters and misfortunes.
Chenjiazhuang is a place dedicated to raising male wives. Most of the boys raised there have a feminine temperament. Various yang-nourishing medicines are stuffed into their bodies since childhood, just waiting to be taken away by the Fan family to serve as the furnace of the young masters.
During this period, there would occasionally be a few people with very good qualifications. The Fan family would take them away when they were still young and train them together with the Fan family's children and grandchildren.
If she makes contributions to the family in the future, she can change her surname and become a descendant of the Fan family. Even if she does not make great contributions, she can still become the wife of a man in the Fan family and have a considerable status.
Click.
The wooden boat had been dragged closer. Er Gou Dan jumped over first and stuffed the remaining human skeletons on the boat into the corner of the stern. Then he waved to Chu Mu: "You can come over."
Chu Mu helped Pingniang and jumped from the big ferry in Zhoujiawu to the small boat.
Pingniang usually does a lot of work and her movements are very quick. As soon as she landed on her feet, she spat at everyone on the ferry: "You are blind. Don't kneel down and beg me next time."
She said it to sound strong, but she was extremely scared in her heart.
"You should get past Master Dong first before you say anything harsh."
The man with the goat beard looked at the stone faces that kept gathering towards Chu Muxiaozhou and said with glee.
The human face sealed in the rock kept showing ferocious expressions as it tried desperately to get out, and its facial features became more and more obvious.
Er Goudan clenched his fists, and Pingniang couldn't help but tremble.
"If you want to eat, eat me." Er Gou Dan suddenly said, "I am the abandoned grandson of the Fan family. I have extremely Yin blood and I am still a virgin."
Chu Mu was stunned when he heard this: "Your last name is Fan? Then what's your original name?"
