Chapter 412 Copper Coins and a Woodcutter's Knife
Chapter 412 Copper Coins and a Woodcutter's Knife
Lin Feng tossed ten copper coins to Jin Xiangyu.
Jin Xiangyu tucked the copper coins away and then tied a rope around his waist and above.
He stuck the machete into the rope in the middle behind him, making sure that no one could see him carrying the knife from the front.
Then, he turned to Lin Feng and said, "Master, I'll be right back."
Lin Feng nodded.
After Jin Xiangyu left, the big black cat was able to stand up.
Lin Feng petted the cat while using his mental energy to monitor Jin Xiangyu.
After Jin Xiangyu went out, he looked at the sky. It was just past dusk, and the sky was neither dark nor light.
Jin Xiangyu took a deep breath and walked to the door of the village bully's house.
The aroma of steamed buns wafted from the village bully's house, and Jin Xiangyu's stomach rumbled twice at the smell.
He had worked all day and hadn't had dinner yet, so he was indeed quite hungry.
Voices could be heard coming from inside the house.
"Brother, this cornbread isn't very tasty. When are we going up the mountain to hunt some wild game?"
"Are wild game so easy to hunt? Wild animals have sharp teeth and claws and will fight us to the death. Do you think everyone is as cowardly as Jin Xiangyu, who can't even fart after three punches?"
"How about we catch two of Jin Xiangyu's cats and stew them?"
"Cat meat has a very strong, unpleasant smell and doesn't taste good."
"People say cat meat is smelly, but we've never tried it. Why don't we give it a try?"
"Gulp," the village bully's third brother swallowed hard. "It's still meat, how savory can it be?"
The village bully, Boss Zhao, said, "Since you all want to eat it, we'll catch one and stew it tomorrow."
However, we still have to eat this cornbread today.
Jin Xiangyu's hands trembled with anger upon hearing these words.
He was all alone and had come to regard those cats as his family. These damned creatures not only stole his money and food, but also set their sights on his cats.
Knock knock, Jin Xiangyu knocked on the courtyard gate and called out, "Brothers, I've brought you some money."
The old lady next door to the village bully's house was puzzled when she heard this, "Why is Little Jinzi giving money to those three village bullies on his own initiative?"
The old man said, "What else could it be? That bear cub, Little Gold, got himself trapped."
The three village bullies came out of the house upon hearing the noise.
Zhao Laosan sneered, "Jin Xiangyu, you're something else. Today, I've given you a good beating and you've finally shown some filial piety. You know how to be respectful to your three uncles now."
Zhao Lao Er asked directly, "Where's the money?"
Jin Xiangyu spread his hands, revealing ten shiny copper coins.
The three men's eyes lit up when they saw the copper coin, and they reached out to grab it.
Jin Xiangyu withdrew his hand and took two steps back. "I haven't eaten yet. Give me three steamed buns, and I'll give you some coins."
Old Zhao spat and said, "You don't deserve to eat cornbread. Hand over the money obediently, or you'll get another beating."
Jin Xiangyu took a few steps back, raised his hand and threw three copper coins to the pile of firewood on the left, three copper coins to the bushes on the right, and four copper coins behind Old Zhao's house.
He shouted, "Money found! Whoever finds it keeps it!"
His shout made the three Zhao brothers a little anxious.
Zhao Lao Da told Zhao Lao Er to go to the left to find copper coins, and Zhao Lao San to go behind the house, while he himself ran to the right.
As he ran to the right, he didn't forget to curse Jin Xiangyu.
"I'll deal with you after I find the copper coin."
Jin Xiangyu used ten copper coins to separate the three Zhao brothers.
Lin Feng smiled when he saw this. This young boy was smart enough to know how to defeat them one by one.
This village is really poor, even poorer than the old Xiaohe Village. They can rob it like this with just a few copper coins.
Seeing the three village bullies separate, Jin Xiangyu immediately ran towards the back of Old Zhao's house.
He planned to eliminate Zhao Laosan first.
He ran over and stood in the corner, craning his neck to look at the other side of the corner. He saw Zhao Laosan crouching down, head down, looking for copper coins.
Zhao Laosan was looking in the direction of the corner of the wall.
Jin Xiangyu looked down and saw a copper coin lying on the ground in the corner.
He drew the machete from behind him and gripped it with both hands.
He took two deep breaths, loosened and clenched his fingers, looking somewhat nervous.
He had never even killed a chicken before, and he was terrified. He wanted to back down, but when he thought about how the three Zhao brothers had treated him over the years, he hardened his heart.
Zhao Laosan walked to the corner of the wall and saw the copper coins on the ground. His eyes lit up and he bent down to pick them up.
Seeing his chance, Jin Xiangyu, who was hiding in the corner, raised his machete and slashed down hard.
With a soft splatter, Zhao Laosan didn't even utter a sound before a spurt of hot blood shot out of his neck, and his head flew off.
At this moment, Jin Xiangyu was no longer afraid; the bloody scene only aroused his ferocity.
Jin Xiangyu wiped his wood-chopping knife with some dry grass on the ground, tucked it behind his back, and ran towards the pile of firewood.
Old Zhao, standing by the haystack, clutched a copper coin in his hand and searched for two more copper coins beside the haystack.
Just then, a figure burst out from the pile of firewood.
Before Zhao Lao Er could even see clearly, the man had already pounced on him.
With a thud, the newcomer covered Zhao Lao Er's mouth with his left hand and plunged a woodcutter's knife into Zhao Lao Er's chest with his right hand, knocking Zhao Lao Er to the ground.
"Waaah!" Zhao Lao Er's eyes widened, and a mouthful of blood gushed from between Jin Xiangyu's fingers.
Zhao Lao Er struggled for a couple of seconds before losing his strength.
Once Zhang Lao Er stopped moving, Jin Xiangyu stood up, drew his knife, and walked towards the bushes where Zhao Lao Da was.
As darkness fell, Jin Xiangyu searched through the bushes for a while but did not see Zhao Laoda.
He suspected that Zhao Laoda might have already found the copper coins and gone back to the house.
He turned around, intending to go inside Old Zhao's house.
Just then, a whooshing sound came from behind him.
