Chapter 1793 Recently, a ruthless guy called "Third Master" has appeared in the underworld
Chapter 1793 Recently, a ruthless man known as Third Master has emerged in the underworld.
Zhao Jun hadn't taken Chen Xueyi's words about how sinister that old ditch was, but he hadn't paid much attention to it.
Firstly, he believed that these were all rumors spread by the Shao family in order to prevent mountain hunters from entering that area to hunt, thus hiding their ginseng gang's old village.
Secondly, he was highly skilled and daring. In his previous life, Zhao Jun ventured into the Far East and lived alone in the primeval forests of the Far East for three months.
That's different from wilderness survival. In wilderness survival, there's a film crew following you, and you can get rescued if you give up.
Zhao Jun didn't even dare to build a shelter in those deep mountains and forests, because he was likely to be killed if he encountered anyone.
Compared to that, the so-called Great Killing Ridge and Old Yin Ditch were nothing to Zhao Jun; the so-called strange occurrences were just coincidences.
But when Yang Erni reminded Zhao Jun, he couldn't ignore it.
This old lady was no ordinary person. She had fought against the Japanese and suppressed bandits. She had fought her way out of a hail of bullets, and the battles she had experienced were far beyond what Zhao Jun could match.
Since she's said that, then Old Yin Gou must be something special.
"Grandma Song," Zhao Jun asked Yang Erni, "is that old ditch really that eerie?"
"Huh?" Yang Erni was taken aback upon hearing this, then pursed her lips and said, "No, child, don't listen to their nonsense, it's not that scary."
"Then why didn't you let me go?" Zhao Jun asked. Yang Erni replied, "The mountain isn't evil, but the tiger is."
"Huh? The tiger is evil?" Zhao Jun was taken aback when he heard this, and then Yang Erni nodded and said, "Yes, that tiger comes and goes like the wind, you can't even see it."
Zhao Jun didn't pay much attention to Yang Erni's words, because he had heard such things since he was a child.
At this moment, Song Changhai came in carrying a thermos, followed by Song Gang carrying a large enamel tray.
There were cups on the enamel plate, clearly meant to be used to pour water for Zhao Jun and his companions.
Upon entering the house, Song Changhai said directly to Zhao Jun, "Zhao Jun, that tiger is quite formidable."
After saying this, Song Changhai lifted the thermos onto the table against the wall, then turned to Zhao Jun and said, "Don't you know Old Niaozi? He went all the way to Wudaogou to hunt tigers, but he didn't dare to look after this tiger."
"No?" Hearing Song Changhai's words, Zhao Jun sensed something was wrong and asked Yang Erni, "Grandma Song, if we don't talk about that tiger in Laoyingou, is it because you won't let us fight it?"
"Who's stopping us from hitting them?" Yang Erni slapped her thighs and said, "That tiger carried away four people. Two of them were found with only half of their bodies chewed up. As for the other two, we didn't even find a single hair on them."
After saying this, Yang Erni suddenly realized something and asked Zhao Jun, "Did the Shao family tell you? That I wouldn't let anyone hit me?"
Zhao Jun nodded, while Yang Erni said irritably, "Those two, Baldy and his son, are quite old, yet they still shake their farts several times."
The old lady spoke in a rather rough manner, which made everyone laugh.
At this moment, Yang Erni said to Zhao Jun, "We've organized people...we've organized several times to hunt this tiger. But once we go into the mountains, we can't find it. It's guaranteed to come out if anyone gets separated from us..."
At this point, Yang Erni paused, then gestured with her hand, saying, "They say you can feel a gust of wind coming, but you can't see the tiger, and then you get beaten up."
As Yang Erni finished speaking, Song Changhai, standing beside her, counted on his fingers, "That tiger killed eight people. Two of them were from the Shao family's ginseng gang, and the other six were hunting."
"Oh my god!" Wang Qiang exclaimed in surprise, "Is this tiger really that fierce?"
“Yes!” Yang Erni and Song Changhai nodded in unison. At this moment, the Zhao family gang members all looked at Zhao Jun.
At this moment, Zhao Jun recalled that when the two elders of the Shao family first asked him to subdue the tiger, they had given him a generous gift beforehand—twenty tiger teeth left by the tiger-slaying general—and readily agreed to his conditions, making Zhao Jun think that he had gotten a great deal.
When he got married, four generations of the Shao family crossed the ridge to attend the banquet, which made Zhao Jun think that the old ditch in the old ditch was very important to the Shao family, and he did not think about the tiger.
Now that things have come to this, it's not easy for Zhao Jun to retreat.
Firstly, the words had already been spoken; secondly, the Zhao family's trip across the ridge was not only for tiger hunting, but also for a joint business involving the two groups lifting a stone dragon.
The tiger couldn't chase it away, the stone dragon couldn't be carried out, and Zhao Jun's little white dragon and amber dragon couldn't be sold either.
Because both sides knew about the big deal worth tens of thousands, if they couldn't bring out the stone dragon, and the Zhao family sold the white dragon and amber dragon, no matter how much money they made, Zhao Jun would be suspected of breaking his promise and deliberately sabotaging the stone dragon deal.
At this moment, Zhao Jun held the White Dragon and the Amber Dragon in his hands. He didn't even think about making that 100,000 yuan. He just wanted to keep his promise to Shao Tianpeng.
If people gossip about this behind his back, Zhao Jun will feel extremely wronged.
"Child!" Seeing that Zhao Jun didn't speak, Yang Erni said earnestly, "You just got married, listen to Grandma Song, don't talk to them about this."
"Oh dear!" Hearing Yang Erni's words, Zhao Jun sighed and said with a wry smile, "Grandma Song, I already promised them."
"What's there to be afraid of in agreeing!" Yang Erni said. "If you're too embarrassed to say it, I'll go find Shao the Bald and talk to him!"
When Shao the Bald was being purged, it was Yang Erni who saved him. Or rather, she saved his entire family, so Yang Erni had absolute influence in front of the Shao family.
But this wasn't just about driving away the tiger; it involved many other things, such as lifting the stone dragon and the Ginseng King Conference. Zhao Jun even had the idea of exchanging ginseng secrets with the Shao family gang.
"Grandma Song," Zhao Jun thought for a moment, then said to Yang Erni, "If you want me to hunt this tiger, how about I try using explosives?"
"Zhao Jun, before Yang Erni could speak, Song Changhai said, "That's no use. No matter how many bombs are fired, it's useless against the mountain people in these surrounding villages. That tiger on the road, damn it, it doesn't eat dead food, it only eats live food."
Hearing Song Changhai's words, Zhang Yuanmin couldn't help but say, "This tiger is evil."
Wang Qiang's lips moved slightly. He wanted to suggest bringing in the Tiger-Slaying King to try, but Zhao Jun didn't say anything, so Wang Qiang's words didn't come out.
"Brother Zhao Jun." At this moment, Song Gang, who had been silent, called out to Zhao Jun, "Listen to my grandma and my dad, don't mess with that tiger. That tiger is very powerful, even my uncle and the armed forces couldn't handle him when they came."
Yang Erni's eldest son is the head of the armed forces department. Although the armed forces department doesn't handle tiger hunting, it's perfectly reasonable for the eldest son of the Song family to send a few people over to help the village get rid of this scourge.
Despite the many kind words of advice from others, Zhao Jun couldn't agree. He sighed and said, "Grandma Song, Uncle Song, Brother Gang, I understand what you're saying to some extent. But we've already made a promise, so I'll go up the mountain tomorrow and see if things are alright. If not, I'll leave immediately."
At this moment, Zhao Jun was still thinking about lowering the lasso. As long as he could lasso the tiger, even if it managed to break free of the leopard rope, it would surely flee in terror.
Although Shao Tianpeng said that the tiger would return soon after it went out to avoid trouble, its departure always gave the Zhao and Shao families the opportunity to lift the stone dragon.
Once the stone dragon was brought out, the rest would fall into place. As for the tiger, Zhao Jun would certainly no longer concern himself with it.
Older people tend to be talkative, especially old ladies. Yang Erni pulled Zhao Jun aside and kept telling him how troublesome that tiger was.
Zhao Jun listened patiently. After half an hour, Zhao Jun got up to say goodbye and left with the Zhao family members.
Yang Erni saw Zhao Jun and the others out of the house, while Song Changhai and Song Gang saw the Zhao family out of the courtyard.
"Let's see tomorrow," Song Changhai said to Zhao Jun. "If you come back early this afternoon, come to our house for dinner tonight."
"Okay, Uncle Song." Zhao Jun readily agreed. He didn't know what tomorrow would bring, so he shouldn't refuse the other man's kindness.
Just then, Zhao Jun and his group were about to get into the car. Song Gang glanced into the car unintentionally and saw that there were Type 56 semi-automatic rifles and pistols on the passenger seat and the back seat. Song Gang asked Zhao Jun with some surprise, "Brother, how many guns did you bring?"
"Hehe..." Zhao Jun chuckled and said, "Ten guns."
The Zhao family gang arrived with seven men, but they brought ten guns: five Type 56 semi-automatic rifles and five pistols.
"My goodness!" Song Changhai laughed, "They're really after that tiger!"
Hearing Song Changhai's words, Zhao Jun laughed and said, "We're not carrying these guns to fight tigers, but because we're afraid of being robbed."
Zhao Jun went to Hebei three times, and each time he encountered robbers. In Zhao Jun's eyes, robbers were more terrifying than tigers.
“We don’t have any highway robbers around here,” Song Changhai said with pride, then changed the subject, “There are many highway robbers heading towards Jishi.”
The destination that Song Changhai mentioned was the same route that Zhao Jun had taken on his previous trips to and from Hebei.
After Song Changhai finished speaking, Song Gang said, "I heard Xu Si say the other day that there's a guy in the underworld called Third Master who's really ruthless!"
Zhao Jun: "Hmm?"
