Tomb robber: I am the tenth of the nine gates

[The next day: heavy rain]

Four tung oil umbrellas are walking on the country road.

"Who are these people?" A passerby wearing a straw raincoat stopped the four people.

The leader said nonchalantly, "Oh, these are all new guests."

The four of them walked a short distance and made sure that the person in the straw raincoat inspection had not noticed this place, so the leader stopped.

He raised one hand and rubbed the rest of his fingertips with his thumb, glancing at the three people from time to time.

These three people were Chu Ning, Qi Tiezui and Adjutant Zhang.

Seeing this, Qi Tiezui hurriedly called out to Adjutant Zhang, "Oh oh oh ~ give it to them quickly!"

Adjutant Zhang reached into his pocket and rummaged around, then handed a stack of banknotes to the guide.

After the guide put it away, he stretched his palm upwards in front of the three people.

Adjutant Zhang frowned. This man is too greedy!

Chu Ning reached out to stop Adjutant Zhang, took out a few more dollars from his pocket and handed them over.

"Excuse me."

The leader showed a satisfied look and nodded, "Let's go."

Adjutant Zhang pouted behind him and was hit on the back of his hand by Qi Tiezui. Chu Ning saw the little movements of the two and curled the corners of his mouth.

The three of them came to a small wooden building, climbed the stairs and put away their umbrellas.

A man was sitting at the head of the main hall, drinking tea.

"Boss, I brought three people."

"Where did it come from?"

Qi Tiezui answered immediately, waving his hands behind his back. Chu Ning and Adjutant Zhang saw Qi Tiezui's gesture and remained silent.

“We are from Changsha.

The three brothers just want to make a living here and earn a living~"

Qi Tiezui smiled warmly and was full of compliments.

The camp leader had a gloomy look in his eyes, and he scanned the three people one by one.

Finally, it came back to Qi Tiezui's face. If these three people didn't have some skills, he wouldn't be running a charity.

"Humph, it's not that easy to make a living here."

The leader stood up as he spoke, "If this isn't done right, it will be a hundred times worse than starving to death."

Anyway, he's just saying this for now, so don't blame him for being ruthless when the time comes.

The leader walked up to the three men, stretched out his hand and pushed Qi Tiezui. Qi Tiezui shook twice and then pushed Adjutant Zhang, but Adjutant Zhang did not move at all.

Qi Tiezui stared closely at the leader's hand movements.

When the leader tried to push Chu Ning again, Adjutant Zhang raised his hand to block him.

"Huh?!" The leader was too lazy to argue and said with disdain, "Look at how skinny you are, can you do physical work?!

I advise you to leave me here as soon as possible."

Chu Ning shook his head at Qi Tiezui. Qi Tiezui felt relieved and spoke again, "Hey, hey, hey? Big brother!

He doesn’t rely on brute force to do this job, but on his ingenuity~"

Qi Tiezui smiled and turned his head to ask Adjutant Zhang, "Hey, am I right?"

Adjutant Zhang turned his head away and ignored him. He only knew that Qi Tiezui would not show up in public next time.

The scene was a little awkward for a moment. Chu Ning leaned out to meet Qi Tiezui, "Well, brother is right."

Qi Tiezui glared at Adjutant Zhang who was uncooperative. Since Chu Ning was talking to him, he could naturally "talk nonsense".

"Look at my little brother, he understands me so well~

Don't look at my brother's skinny body, he is very capable.

Stop standing there and show your hands to big brother!"

Qi Tiezui rubbed Adjutant Zhang, and got a "stinky look" from Adjutant Zhang. Adjutant Zhang moved close to Qi Tiezui and gritted his teeth in Qi Tiezui's ear.

"You're just pushing me out like that? Why didn't you ask me if I agreed?"

Chu Ning moved his ears and shook his head. Seeing that the leader had already shown an impatient expression, he spoke.

"Big brother, my brother needs to get ready. Why don't I show you my skills first?"

Qi Tiezui and Adjutant Zhang pulled Chu Ning back at the same time, and Chu Ning was protected behind them.

Now the leader couldn't even see the person. The only thing he could see was Chu Ning's hair swaying in the wind.

"What are you showing off?"

Adjutant Zhang looked disapproving, and Qi Tiezui elbowed Adjutant Zhang in the side of his waist.

"...I think you need to discuss this for a while."

Chu Ning was dragged dizzy by the two men and spoke in a soft tone.

Qi Tiezui lowered his eyes and smiled, glancing at Adjutant Zhang.

"Think it over carefully, do you want to go first or let Xiao Ning go for you?

If I don’t do it, I won’t have food to eat, sleep to sleep… and I won’t be able to see the Buddha.”

These two sentences directly put Adjutant Zhang under pressure. Adjutant Zhang originally wanted Qi Tiezui to coax and compliment him more.

Feeling threatened by Qi Tiezui, he had no choice but to put on a gloomy face.

The leader was completely impatient, "Hey?! You three don't take me seriously, do you?

After all the hesitation, who has the final say?

Look at you, what real skills do you have? Get out of here now!"

Qi Tiezui was frightened by the sudden roar, and Adjutant Zhang's face suddenly became gloomy.

Chu Ning was behind Qi Tiezui and Adjutant Zhang, and was well protected by them, so he looked around the place.

After the leader finished speaking, he pulled Adjutant Zhang's sleeve and motioned Adjutant Zhang to look at the target made of hay on the left wall.

Adjutant Zhang walked to the right wall, took the bow and arrow hanging on the wall, and drew the bow without saying a word.

Qi Tiezui hurriedly pulled Chu Ning back, and did not forget to make a promise to the leader.

"He can definitely do it, don't worry, don't worry, haha."

In the blink of an eye, the arrow hit the center of the bull's eye. Due to the excessive force, the tail feathers of the arrow were still shaking.

"Good!!! Well done!" Qi Tiezui clapped vigorously.

Chu Ning walked up to Adjutant Zhang and extended his hand to him. Adjutant Zhang lowered his eyes and shook his head.

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows, looked up with a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of stubbornness.

Qi Tiezui snatched the bow from Adjutant Zhang and handed it to Chu Ning with a smile, then turned and spoke to the leader.

"Boss, why don't you let my little brother show off his skills?"

The leader remained silent, obviously agreeing. Three people came to him at once, it couldn't be that only one person had some kung fu skills.

"Xiao Ning?" Qi Tiezui asked Chu Ning in a low voice.

Chu Ning's youthful face was filled with a confident smile, which reflected in the eyes of Qi Tiezui and his adjutant the youthful vigor that is unique to young people.

Qi Tiezui and Adjutant Zhang looked at each other and let Chu Ning demonstrate. If they could make the leader look at him differently, it would mean that their child was outstanding!

Chu Ning drew his bow and arrow, turned his head to glance at Adjutant Zhang, and blinked.

Adjutant Zhang pursed his lips. He understood what the child meant. He wanted him to be careful and not underestimate him.

"Swoosh→Ding~" two sounds.

The tip of the arrow seemed to hit the weapon placed on the weapon rack in front, and then it pierced the tail feather of the first arrow, splitting the first arrow into two and hitting the center of the bull's eye.

Everyone on the field could see that Chu Ning deliberately let the arrow hit the weapon. It could hit the bull's eye if it hit an object, not to mention that there was no object blocking it.

There was admiration in Adjutant Zhang's eyes, and Qi Tiezui gave Chu Ning a thumbs up.

"My Xiao Ning is awesome! He is worthy of being brought up by me."

Qi Tiezui praised Chu Ning and did not forget to bring himself along, but Chu Ning did not forget the purpose of their visit.

He turned to the leader, "Can we stay now?"

The leader had a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of scrutiny. He didn't believe that two people with such skills would be willing to enter his camp.

"I have seen the abilities of both of you, but what about him?"

The leader looked at Qi Tiezui, who pointed at himself with a confused look on his face, "Ah? Me?"

Adjutant Zhang took a step forward and stood in front of Qi Tiezui, while Chu Ning frowned slightly, "My brother doesn't have such ability."

Before the leader could speak, Chu Ning immediately said, "It's just that the two of us have always stood together with our brother, so we will listen to him."

What Chu Ning meant was that although Qi Tiezui was not as good at martial arts as them, he could make Adjutant Zhang and Chu Ning listen to Qi Tiezui.

The leader immediately understood what Chu Ning meant. Among the three people, Qi Tiezui was the one who had the final say. If anything had to be agreed upon, Qi Tiezui's consent had to be obtained.

The leader's doubts were dispelled a little. It would be good to have a weak point and a handle, so that if something happened, it would be easier to control it.

He originally thought that this young man was their center, but it turned out that he was the one who was easy to talk to. That was good too, as long as he didn't put hidden dangers into his own camp.

"Okay, let them stay." The leader turned his head and said to the man who had just led the three people in, "Take them to the post station to stay."

"Yes."

"But I want to remind you that you must be obedient if you want to make a living here.

If you dare to have any thoughts that you shouldn't have, I will make you feel worse than death."

The leader said, his eyes sweeping over the faces of the three men.

Qi Tiezui quickly replied, "No, no, don't worry, Boss!"

The call of "old man" was so sincere that if you didn't know, you would think Qi Tiezui had been in the village for several years.

"Let's go then."

The guide led the three people to push open the door of the post station. Once they entered the room, they saw a large bunk bed with three people sitting on it.

Seeing new people coming, Qi Tiezui looked up and greeted them with a smile and a nod. The other three turned their heads away indifferently.

"You three can stay here.

Please share the bed near the window."

Qi Tiezui stopped the leader and said, "Hey, big brother, can you introduce these three to me?"

The leader snorted and laughed, “No one who knows their names will have a good ending.

You three remember, don’t ask questions that you shouldn’t ask, and stay out of trouble when things aren’t your business.

Life is the most important thing. Don’t look at or ask anything else.

Take a rest. "

"Okay, thank you~"

Qi Tiezui turned around to look at Chu Ning and Adjutant Zhang, then rushed out the next second and jumped onto the bed by the window.

"Hey~ I'll sleep here!" Qi Tiezui laughed happily, and didn't forget to pat the seat next to him, "Come on, Xiaoning, sleep here!"

Adjutant Zhang slowly walked to Qi Tiezui and stood in front of him. "I don't like sleeping in there."

"I don't know martial arts, and I don't have any internal strength. It's safer to sleep over here."

Adjutant Zhang looked confident, "With me here, anywhere is safe."

Qi Tiezui pushed his hands back in a rather rogue manner, "I don't care, I'm going to sleep here anyway!"

Adjutant Zhang rolled up his sleeves and went to pull Qi Tiezui. Chu Ning quietly slipped away from the battlefield between the two men and sat down by the window.

Fortunately, Qi Tiezui jumped onto the bed in a take-off position, otherwise Chu Ning would not have been able to sit down.

The two of them ended with Adjutant Zhang picking up Qi Tiezui.

When the two of them finished fighting, they felt someone staring at them for a long time.

They both turned around at the same time and saw Chu Ning leaning one arm on the windowsill, his chin supported by one hand, watching with great interest.

Qi Tiezui came to his senses and found that the bed next to him had already been occupied by Chu Ning.

"Hmm? Just go on, go on, don't worry about me."

Seeing that the two of them didn't say anything and just kept looking at him, Chu Ning spoke in a very understanding manner.

Adjutant Zhang & Qi Tiezui: Xiaoning is so nice, thank you Xiaoning (no way)!

"Ahhh! Xiao Ning!"

Qi Tiezui felt like crying but had no tears. He turned around and slapped Adjutant Zhang's hand that was grabbing his collar.

"Don't let go yet!"

Adjutant Zhang let go and looked at Chu Ning, "Xiao Ning..."

Chu Ning winked at Adjutant Zhang playfully, "Oh, brother, don't worry, I'm not a child anymore."

When he was out and about and around outsiders, Chu Ning always called Adjutant Zhang and Qi Tiezui "brothers".

Adjutant Zhang's ears turned red from hearing him call him "brother". There was nothing he could do about it. It was like a kitten acting coquettishly.

Sleeping next to the window and against the wall makes it easy to notice any disturbance outside or if someone goes out in the middle of the night.

At the beginning, Adjutant Zhang and Qi Tiezui were competing for this position. One reason was that they were afraid that the noise would make them sleep uneasily at night, and the other was safety issues, so that they could wake him up in time.

Chu Ning knew what Adjutant Zhang meant, but the adjutant had been taking care of him all the way, and he was a light sleeper, so he wasn't afraid of being disturbed.

The important thing is to let the adjutant and the Eighth Master have a good sleep.

"I'll sleep in the middle." Adjutant Zhang didn't care and went straight to bed.

Qi Tiezui was completely confused, "Ber, didn't you say you don't like sleeping inside?"

Qi Tiezui saw Chu Ning standing by the window, so he decided to sleep in the middle. However, he was beaten to it by Adjutant Zhang!

Adjutant Zhang had already taken off his shoes and lay down. When he heard Qi Tiezui's question, he squinted his eyes and spoke lazily.

"You like to move around, sleeping in the middle and hitting both sides."

The implication was that it would be enough to just hit him now. What Qi Tiezui heard was that Adjutant Zhang said he had poor sleeping qualities and was not worthy of sleeping in the middle.

Qi Tiezui's face turned red and he lay on Adjutant Zhang's body like a "pig covered with a blanket".

"Puff!" Adjutant Zhang was silent.

Chu Ning opened his mouth into an O shape: "Wow~"

From this point of view, it is actually quite good to be with the adjutant and Mr. Ba. At least there are small shows every day.

……

【Afternoon】

After raining for half a day, it finally stopped. Seeing that Adjutant Zhang and Qi Tiezui were still sleeping, Chu Ning got up and went out to ask where they could get water.

I thought that I could wash my face and clear my head after Qi Tiezui and Adjutant Zhang woke up.

In the village, people need to throw wooden buckets into the well to fetch water.

After Chu Ning filled the bucket with water, he maintained his balance and seemed a little unsteady as he walked while carrying the bucket.

This scene was seen by people from the two villages. Upon closer inspection, they found that the two men were among the three people who lived in the same post station with them.

Chu Ning looked down at the road beneath his feet. The two men walked towards him with their arms around each other's shoulders.

Chu Ning walked to the left, and they walked to the right. Chu Ning tried to give way again, but was blocked again.

"Please give me some space, thank you."
