Chapter 269: Tit for Tat
Zhang Qiling didn't want to waste time here with him and be a tool, so he raised his foot and wanted to leave.
At this time, Hei Xia Zi just went around to his side and inadvertently discovered that his current position was very clever.
Hei Xia Zi's hands were quicker than his brain. He wanted to play a trick on someone, so he subconsciously reached out and pushed Zhang Qi Ling towards the mud pit next to him.
During this period, Zhang Qiling has been under close protection by the Zhang family, and his vigilance towards others around him has been reduced a lot. When he was relaxed, he almost let Hei Xia Zi succeed without noticing.
Although he managed to keep his balance and didn't fall into the mud, his calves were still submerged in the mud. Not only did his pants get dirty, but there were also a lot of mud spots stuck to his shirt.
Zhang Qiling's face darkened instantly, and he subconsciously touched behind him, but couldn't find his black gold ancient sword.
He almost forgot that he had just given his knife to Zhang Benling for maintenance. It was probably just smeared with ointment and was being wiped dry.
When Hei Xia Zi saw Zhang Qiling's stiff expression after being tricked by him and wanted to teach him a lesson but was stuck, the smile on his face returned instantly.
But before he could even laugh, the same thing happened to him the next second.
Xie Yuchen saw that the black bear, who had been wary of him, had his attention diverted and immediately realized that the opportunity was gone.
He made a prompt decision and gave it a decisive kick.
Hei Xia Zi was kicked unexpectedly on the butt and fell straight forward.
However, Hei Xia Zi's kung fu was also top-notch. He adjusted his center of gravity before falling into the mud. He originally expected that he would be able to stand firm in the mud like Zhang Qiling, and at most his trouser legs would be filled with mud.
But he didn't expect that his retribution would come so quickly.
As an innocent person, Zhang Qiling was pushed down inexplicably. Not only did his clothes get dirty, but he was also embarrassed in front of other people. Of course, he would not forgive Hei Xia Zi so easily.
He is no longer the lonely man he once was.
If it were in the past, it would be fine if he was a little embarrassed, because no one cared about him or said anything about him, and he didn't care about his image.
Now, as the official leader of the Zhang family, he not only has to maintain the image of the Zhang family externally, but also has to maintain his own face in front of his subordinates.
Zhang Qiling, who was thin-skinned even towards his own family, felt that it was more painful for Zhang Haishe and the others to see him in such a miserable state because of Hei Xiazi's prank than for them to see him injured and in such a mess.
Since this person has the courage to provoke both him and Jie Yuchen at the same time, he should be prepared to accept revenge from both of them at the same time.
Just as Hei Xia Zi shifted his center of gravity and his only foot on the ground had not yet stabilized, Zhang Qiling decisively kicked him and tripped him.
There was a loud "bang" and Hei Xia Zi fell face down into the mud.
The huge splash of mud and water splashed half of the body of Zhang Qiling, one of the instigators who was standing next to him.
After Xie Yuchen kicked Hei Xia Zi, he retreated quickly as expected, and his body was still clean.
Zhang Qiling wiped his face expressionlessly, and when he saw the dirty mud on his hands, he slowly clenched his fists.
After Xie Yuchen kicked him again, his anger subsided. Seeing that things were not going well, he immediately put away his weapon and turned away without saying anything.
The black bear spit out two bubbles in the mud and water, then climbed up using all four limbs.
He smeared his face hard, looked down at himself like a little clay figure, and Hei Xia Zi didn't know what was wrong with him, but suddenly he laughed softly.
"blind!"
Zhang Qiling looked at him calmly, and Hei Xia Zi immediately stopped laughing.
"Dumb, look at us, we're already in this state, why don't we..."
Hei Xia Zi didn't finish his words, but just showed a meaningful smile, and kept giving hints with a beaming look on his face.
He believed that with the tacit understanding between the two of them as partners for many years, Zhang Qiling would be able to guess what he was thinking now.
Zhang Qiling's eyes flickered for a moment, but he pretended not to understand what he meant and did not express his opinion at all.
"If you don't refuse, that means you agree. I'll call someone~"
Knowing that his partner was treacherous, Hei Xia Zi smiled even more and blew a loud and melodious whistle.
After officially joining the Zhang family, a special person taught Hei Xia Zi the Zhang family's set of whistle commands, hand gestures, and some other common matters in a systematic way.
This was the first time that Hei Xia Zi had used a whistle since he had learned how to do it.
The meaning of the whistle just now was to call the wandering personnel to assemble.
Zhang Moyu and the others who stayed in the camp were naturally not considered roving personnel, so it was obvious who they were summoning.
Zhang Haishe, who was trying hard to teach Wuxie and Fatty Wang the snake language, and Nan Xihe, who was joining in the fun, both understood the meaning of the whistle instantly.
Zhang Moyu knew that they were playing with snakes nearby. When they heard the call, they thought that Zhang Qiling had something urgent to ask them to come over, so they immediately got up and walked back.
Wuxie and Fatty Wang followed immediately.
Zhang Benling and his group, who had been staying in the camp, were cleaning their knives and packing up their things. Because their attention was not distracted over there, no one paid attention to what was happening at the mud pit for a while.
Two minutes later, Zhang Haishe and his group of four came back from sightseeing. They happened to be walking along the path next to the mud pit. They saw the two people standing in the mud pit, seemingly in confrontation.
"Wow, you two are in such a good mood. You have nothing better to do than play in the mud?"
Fatty Wang said something in surprise, and then looked at Zhang Qiling, who had an expressionless and calm face, and then looked at Hei Xiazi, who was smiling with malicious intent, as if he wanted to see something from the two of them.
"Chief! What are you doing standing in the mud? And why are you so dirty? The elders of the Moyu tribe will definitely scold you when they see you."
Nan Xihe looked at Zhang Qiling in shock and confusion, and suddenly felt that the filter of the clan leader who was as cold and aloof as a snow-capped mountain god that his fellow tribesmen had described to him seemed to have cracked.
Why come here to play in the mud when you can do something else?
Wu Xie, who knew the character of his cheap master well, had many more thoughts.
The guy is usually cute and clean, and when he has free time, he either stares blankly or reads. He has no entertainment at all, not even playing games on his phone, let alone playing in the mud in a place like this.
He suspected that Zhang Qiling was framed by the trouble-making Hei Xia Zi. Just look at the mud and water splashed on his clothes. It's obvious that these marks were splashed by someone else. The most suspicious person present is Hei Xia Zi.
