From that day on, Xiao Hao changed his single training method for his apprentices.
On the training field, you can see the bizarre sight of one child brutally defeating six other children every day.
The day when the children don't have injuries, people will feel strange.
Occasionally, Pei Nansheng would call Xiao Hao to the senior class to demonstrate live-action combat to the senior students.
When the six apprentices saw their young coach defeat six burly men single-handedly without batting an eye, they realized that their young coach had been far too gentle with them.
Li Tian asked Xiao Hao hesitantly, "Why...why did you lie to us?"
Xiao Hao rolled his eyes. "What did I lie to you about?"
"If your kung fu is so good, why are you hiding in the tent and not coming out? You even lied to us that you were asleep and hadn't woken up."
Xiao Hao snorted, "He's just a heavy sleeper and hasn't woken up yet."
Walking home with hands behind his back and a pigeon-toed gait, how wonderful it would be to be an unsung hero, it's simply incredibly cool.
Li Tian: "..."
The five apprentices: "..."
After the battle, two of our soldiers died and more than a dozen were wounded.
Compared to the victory achieved, this damage is a great victory.
The news spread quickly, attracting many Chinese to seek refuge there, and people gradually arrived at the Chinese village.
A small group of over 100 people expanded into a small group of over 300 people a month later.
These extra people were nothing to Guo Qi and He Xiao, who had seen the world.
After verifying their identities, arrangements were made to ensure proper placement, including identifying each person's strengths and suitable roles.
Having gained fame, they couldn't be without a name, so after some discussion, they decided on the name "Tangren Village".
Someone in the village was skilled in stone carving. They found a large stone, carved the three characters "Tangren Village" on it, and painted it with red paint they found somewhere. From a distance, it looked quite like a famous tourist attraction.
When Ning Qiang found out, his face twisted with anger.
With only 300 people, they dare to establish their own brand? I wonder how many eyes the King of Horses has.
One day, Guo Qi and He Xiao came to see Pei Nansheng.
"We'd like to exchange some medicines and would like to ask Brother Pei to accompany us."
Food is not a problem for the time being, but medicine is the most needed.
Last time, more than a dozen people were injured, and they still haven't fully recovered.
Jin Yu is an excellent surgeon, but even the most skilled cook cannot make a meal without ingredients; having a doctor is useless without medicine.
When putting supplies into the cave, Zuo Ling originally wanted to put some medicine in. Most of the medicine she had was from the time she was on the Ice and Snow Continent, which she had taken from American people, and also from cargo ships.
The medicines obtained from He Xiao and the Ding family were exchanged for points when exchanging them for the submarine.
There are still some left, mostly labeled in Chinese, and the dates are from before the apocalypse, so they're not easy to take out.
Medicine is precious; the supplies that can be exchanged for a few boxes of medicine are unimaginable.
If too much is released, it will inevitably arouse suspicion; if too little is released, it won't cause much of a problem.
Zuo Ling was thinking about taking out the cargo ship from her spatial storage so she could store more cargo, so she didn't take it out.
The villagers suspected that the small group of soldiers who had ambushed them were hiding supplies and trying to drive them away to avoid being discovered by the larger group. The rumors were wild and far from the truth.
"Where can I exchange medicines?" Zuo Ling asked curiously.
"Go north, about 200 miles from here, there's a market where you can trade and all sorts of things."
"What will you offer in exchange?" Pei Nansheng asked, getting straight to the heart of the matter.
Guo Qi and He Xiao felt very uncomfortable being asked questions. They lacked everything and would even hesitate to give away a needle.
Haha, I get it. They're trying to make a fortune out of thin air.
Pei Nansheng sneered. In the apocalypse, medicines were extremely scarce. Anyone who had medicine was not someone to be trifled with. Anyone who dared to make such a move was clearly using him as a pawn.
"I'm not going."
He has some skills, but he's not so arrogant as to be ignorant of his own limitations.
There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. You'd be too busy keeping your head down to cause trouble; you'd be asking for it!
He Xiao said urgently:
"Many of our brothers were injured. Without medicine, minor injuries turned into serious ones. We had no other choice."
Pei Nansheng chuckled twice and asked him in return, "Since my siblings and I aren't here, what are you planning to do?"
If you weren't here, we'd still be holed up in the Chinese village, too scared to come out and start our own business.
But He Xiao dared not say these words aloud.
If he dared to say it, Pei Nansheng would definitely say, "So you mean we saved the wrong person?"
No one spoke, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Guo Qidao:
“Brother Pei, our village has made a name for itself, we’ve amassed a few guns, and some able-bodied men have joined us. We can barely be considered a strong and well-equipped force. We don’t lack food for now, but what we lack most is medicine. We want to take advantage of everyone’s high spirits and save up some resources so we can deal with any emergencies.”
What he really wanted to say was that you siblings have the ability to kill without leaving a trace, and getting some drugs or something is no big deal for you, so it's a shame not to use them.
Zuo Ling's face darkened:
"When we came here, we agreed that you could use our name to do things, and we could provide you with some protection, but we didn't say we would interfere in everything. The most important reason why my brother and I are still alive and well is that we never cause trouble. If you're thinking of using us as pawns, I advise you not to even think about it."
The more they talked, the more awkward it became; if they continued, they would have to go their separate ways.
Guo Qi and He Xiao were both smart men. Seeing that things weren't going well, they said they were just asking and that it was fine if they didn't want to go, thus smoothing things over for themselves, and left with awkward smiles.
Before coming, I was prepared to be rejected. It was obvious they were using me as a pawn. Nobody's stupid, so being rejected was perfectly normal.
