Chapter 27

  "Brother, to be honest, the dishes are really authentic, and they even gave us enough salt." Gaofei Bao said with a grin while picking his teeth: "I secretly took a pack of their salt, haha, they must not have noticed."

  Gao Fei Hu stared at his younger brother, laughing and crying at the same time: "You only care about cooking delicious food, what did I ask you to do? If you want to take down the Frog Village, how should you do it?"

  "There's actually nothing much to see, there are only six people in Hama Village. What I'm mainly worried about is Cheng Dairen's Five Thunder Method, don't know if it's true or false."

  "The main purpose I let you go is this, what did you figure out today?"

  "No, he didn't show up all day."

  "Then you go on tomorrow and bring a few more people, we must get to the bottom of Cheng Daren's affairs."

  "Uh-huh, I was thinking of going early tomorrow too. Tomorrow morning I won't eat breakfast and will have more of theirs instead. Big brother, do you want to go? They have white noodles every day."

  Gao Fei's face twitched with rage as he spat out a single word: "Scram!"

  ……

  The number of people who came on the second day was several times that of the first day, with over a thousand people. Huang San Yuan was also frightened by this scene, and he didn't quite understand how hungry the mountain bandits in Qingniu Mountain were.

  Of course, the more people there are, the faster the work progresses. Huang San Yuan is indeed a capable person who has served as a steward for the master of a city, and even with a thousand people, he can command them in an orderly manner.

  Some people built walls with mountain rocks, some dug soil to burn bricks, and others cut down big trees on the hillside. The whole mountain village was in a state of great excitement.

  Inside the earth house, Cheng Dairen and Su Qing stared at each other, Su Qing felt a bit unnatural under Cheng Dairen's gaze and quietly turned her head away.

  "What are you doing here?"

  "Maintain an air of mystery."

  "Mysterious?"

  Cheng Dalai lay on the kang, saying: "Now everyone outside says I've learned the Five Thunder Method from the immortal and practice breathing exercises in my room every day to cultivate the art of longevity. If I often go out for a stroll and they see that even immortals need to use the toilet, how will their idolization not collapse?"

  Cheng Dairen is now lying on the kang, propping himself up with his arms, while Su Qing sits at the corner of the bed. This scene inexplicably gives Su Qing a feeling of being a little wife accompanying her husband, but she can't say anything either. After all, as a hostage, Cheng Dairen has not beaten or scolded her, nor forced her to do anything, so she really can't take advantage of the situation.

  "Then why do you have to stay in my room?" Su Ying.

  "It's because you look good." Cheng Dairen said naturally.

  Su Ying's face was tense, her eyebrows slightly furrowed in anger.

  "Don't be angry, I'm bored like this, okay? The whole mountain village, and I just think you look good."

  Outside the earth house, everyone was busy, with a scene of great excitement and energy.

  Qin Man carried an iron spear and dragged a wild boar slowly from outside into the kitchen where meals were prepared.

  "Brother Qin, we hunted wild boar again today, what a stroke of luck!"

  "Wow, this wild boar weighs at least 300 catties, and Big Brother Qin took it down by himself?"

  Among the mountain bandits, the strong are naturally respected. After two days of contact, none of the mountain bandits in Qingniu Mountain did not obey Qin Man. Qin Man's personality is simple and straightforward, which is also what the mountain bandits like most. Moreover, everyone relies on Qin Man to hunt back meat every day.

  "Qin big brother, your two arms have three or four hundred catties of strength, right?"

  "Haha, it's not that exaggerated." Qin Man smiled brightly.

  "Hey, Qin, show us your skills! Let's take a look and open our eyes wide!" The group of mountain bandits jeered.

  Qin Man's face turned bright red, as if he had drunk strong wine. He said with a smile, "Let's give it a try then."

  "Qin big brother, this millstone weighs four or five hundred catties, be careful." someone worried.

  "Just try it, just try it."

  Qin Man tightened his waistband, crouched down on one knee, and wrapped both hands around the stone mill. Everyone's eyes widened as they stared intently at this scene, unwilling to miss a single detail.

  Tick-tock! Tick-tock!

  Just like his entire skeleton had exploded, Qin Man's face turned bright red as the situation was exposed. Suddenly, he shouted and lifted the stone mill with both hands, exclaiming "Hah!" as he raised it above his head.

  Wow!

  Dead silence, a falling pin can be heard. Everyone's mouth is agape, their hearts pounding.

  "Brother Qin, you...you are truly a god descended from heaven!"

  "He lifted the stone mill with ease, and his strength exceeded 500 catties."

  Qin Man knocked down the stone millstone and laughed: "It's nothing, I'm not the strongest in this mountain village."

  Several people walked up to the millstone and tried it out, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't even budge it, let alone lift it.

  "So, who has the greatest strength among these knock-offs?" someone curiously asked, their gaze already shifting to Lin Shaoyu.

  "Hey, he's not talking about me, it's our big boss, Qin Man. His strength is not even half of our big boss."

  Hiss!

  A sudden intake of breath, someone has secretly speculated about Cheng Dairen's strength.

  Inside the earth house, Cheng Dairen looked through the paper window and saw this scene. The corner of his mouth curled up: "Alright, it's my turn to perform."

  Su Ying looked at him, her eyes following his back as he disappeared into the room. Then she also leaned against the window, staring at the movement outside.

  As soon as Cheng Dalai walked out of the house, everyone's eyes were fixed on him. The eyes had curiosity, fear, and anxiety.

  Qin Man strode over with large steps: "Eldest Master, let's exchange a few moves."

  Everyone was spirited and thought: what is heard is empty, what is seen is real. How great this person's skills are can only be known after seeing them.

  "Get on with it, work, work."

  Cheng Dali ignored Qin Man's challenge and walked forward. Qin Man stood behind him, suddenly shouting: "Do you look down on me, Qin Mouren?!"

  He clenched his fist and struck it against Cheng Dairen's back, punching out like a fierce tiger, shouting without any doubt. If this punch hit its mark, it could directly shatter stone.

  Cheng Dairen suddenly turned his head and caught Qin Man's fist in a calm and unhurried manner. It didn't seem like he was blocking the punch, but rather that the punch was being delivered into his palm.

  Then came the wrestling, Qin Man's face had bulging veins, his dark complexion turned red, obviously using all his strength. But Cheng Dairen's face still didn't have a single drop of sweat, looking calm and composed.

  "Get out!"

  Cheng Darui suddenly let out a loud shout, his arm bursting forth with force, and Qin Man's body flew out like a kite with its string cut, smashing seven or eight meters away.

  Cheng Dalai strode over and pulled him up from the ground: "Are you okay?"

  "It's nothing, thank you for showing mercy."

  "Alright, don't be so impulsive next time, I only used 60% of my strength today, otherwise you would have really gotten hurt."

  Wow!

  Everyone was shocked and stared blankly at Cheng Dairen, as if they had seen a ghost.

  This is just 60% of my strength!

  Under everyone's gaze, which was half worship and half fear, Cheng Dairen walked back into the room. Su Qing hurriedly sat up straight, finding it strange that Cheng Dairen's face was pale with cold sweat dripping down.

  "What's wrong with you?"

  "Hurt one's back."
