Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet

Leaving the village, Gu Yuan headed straight for the county town.

As for the Iron Tooth Rat, A'Huang, it was hidden under his bulky, worn-out cotton-padded coat.

After entering the town, Gu Yuan went straight to Sweet Water Lane, which was Lin Zhou's residence.

Dong, dong, dong!

After knocking on the door, the courtyard door was opened, but it was not Ling Zhou who opened the door, but a woman with a gentle face and a rather plump figure.

"Excuse me, I'm here to find Lin Zhou?"

Gu Yuan looked a little puzzled: "You are..."

The woman gave Gu Yuan a slight bow: "My surname is Hu, and I am Lin Zhou's neighbor... a distant cousin."

As she said this, the woman's face was slightly red, as if she was a little embarrassed, and said: "You must be Mr. Gu, Lin Zhou has already told me about you."

Good heavens, this woman has her hair in a 'fallen horse bun', clearly a widow. Lin Zhou looks honest, but I didn't expect him to be quite the player... Gu Yuan was surprised in his heart, but nodded on the surface: "So it's Sister Hu."

"Just call me Xiu Niang, please come in, Mr. Gu."

Hu Xiu Niang hurriedly let Gu Yuan in, and then took him to find Lin Zhou.

Inside the room, Lin Zhou was busy packing his things. Seeing Gu Yuan come in, he quickly greeted him: "Brother Gu is here."

"My room is too messy, please forgive me, Brother Gu. Please wait a moment, I'll be done soon."

Before long, Lin Zhou took out a set of writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone, as well as a few books, and began to teach Gu Yuan how to read and write.

Gu Yuan had more than ten years of study habits from his previous life and had a cultural foundation. In addition, the writing in this life was somewhat similar to the writing in his previous life, and he even had some basic knowledge, so he naturally learned very quickly.

This also made Lin Zhou sigh and regret repeatedly:

"Brother Gu, if you could have started reading and learning from a young age, you might have been able to pass the county examination and obtain the title of 'Scholar'!"

In his opinion, Gu Yuan was very smart and talented, a seed for studying. If Gu Yuan could have started reading and learning from a young age, he would definitely have a great future.

It's just a pity that Gu Yuan is already seventeen years old now, wasting more than ten years of precious time.

"Brother Lin is too kind."

Gu Yuan smiled and said nothing.

With his status and family circumstances, he used to have trouble even eating. Where would his family have the financial resources to support his studies?

Moreover, the title of 'Scholar' would be good if it were in an ordinary ancient time, enjoying various privileges and a relatively high status, but this world has demons and martial arts cultivation, such extraordinary powers. In terms of status, how can it compare to a martial arts master?

In comparison, Gu Yuan was still more interested in martial arts cultivation.

At noon, after Gu Yuan had lunch at Lin Zhou's house, he continued to study. It was not until the sky gradually darkened that he bid farewell and left.

For the next half month, Gu Yuan traveled back and forth between Gu Family Village and North Liang County, repeating this two-point-one-line life.

At the same time, under his secret observation, Dong Gui and Sun Er were honestly recuperating at home, tormented by their injuries, and did not seem to be looking for trouble with him for the time being.

As for the Green Bamboo Gang in the city, they had been making constant moves recently.

On the streets of North Liang County, one could often see several gang members with bamboo leaves embroidered on their chests, scanning vigilantly, obviously looking for him.

Because of this matter, many troubles had been caused.

But after Gu Yuan obtained the blessing of the "Iron Tooth" talent, his whole person had undergone no small changes.

His height, temperament, body shape, and even his appearance had changed somewhat compared to before.

All kinds of changes added together were simply like a different person.

Even Gu's father and Gu's mother often felt that Gu Yuan was a little unfamiliar, not quite the same as the previous Gu Yuan, who was straightforward and a little simple-minded.

In addition, every time Gu Yuan entered the city, he would make some preparations in advance, such as wearing a cotton hat on his head, and changing his worn-out cotton clothes and shoes for new ones.

What's more, there was no photography technology in ancient times, and no one would be holding a photo to compare and find someone.

For various reasons, no one recognized Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan even suspected that even if he personally appeared in front of that Shopkeeper Xu, the other party would not immediately recognize him.

This afternoon, after Gu Yuan finished reciting an article as usual, he bid farewell to the scholar Lin Zhou and left Sweet Water Well Lane.

However, he did not go far, but found a deserted small courtyard that had not been lived in for a long time. With a leap, he used his hands and feet to climb in.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

Immediately afterwards, A'Huang, who was huge, comparable to a large cat, emerged from an inconspicuous corner next to him.

And at an astonishing speed, it turned into a black shadow and quickly ran to Gu Yuan's face.

Two mung bean-sized eyes were bright and sparkling, flashing a bit of intelligent light.

"Let's go to the old place!"

Gu Yuan squatted down and touched its smooth and shiny head.

"Squeak, squeak!"

Most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Say ⊥ At ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ Book ⊥ ⊥ Bar ⊥ ⊥ First ⊥ Hair!

A'Huang seemed to understand Gu Yuan's meaning. With a leap, it climbed over the courtyard wall.

Ji'an Hall.

"Haven't you found that kid yet?"

Shopkeeper Xu looked at the shop assistant with a gloomy face.

"Shopkeeper."

The shop assistant shrank his head and stammered: "Gang Leader Wu said that he has sent people to look for him on the street for half a month, but he has not found that kid. And... and..."

"And what? Speak!"

Shopkeeper Xu vaguely guessed something and said in a cold voice.

The shop assistant lowered his head: "And, Gang Leader Wu said that although he has some friendship with you, this time the Third Gang Leader of the Green Bamboo Gang died because of you, so, Shopkeeper, you still need to take out three hundred taels to appease his family, otherwise he will not be able to convince the public, and he cannot guarantee what the Third Gang Leader's friends and relatives will do."

Pa!

With a crisp sound, a porcelain cup was swept to the ground by Shopkeeper Xu, smashing it to pieces, and the tea inside splashed open.

"Three hundred taels of silver?!"

Shopkeeper Xu's face was livid with anger, completely without the previous amiable and wealth-generating appearance, and roared: "Such a big appetite, does he, Wu, think my Ji'an Hall is a silver bank?!"

Three hundred taels of silver, even if he took out such a large sum of money, it would hurt his bones and tendons, and it would take half his life's savings!

The shop assistant was so frightened that his whole body trembled. Even though his legs were splashed with hot water, and it was burning hot, he dared not speak, as if he was afraid of being implicated.

After a while, Shopkeeper Xu barely calmed down.

He actually knew very well that although he had a good relationship with the gang leader of the Green Bamboo Gang, he had to pay this money, he had to!

After all, that Wu was ruthless and black-hearted, and also like a dog, the kind that would turn his face at any time.

If he really didn't take it out, his troubles would only be greater.

Shopkeeper Xu was silent for a moment, and said faintly: "Later, you give me a message to Wu Xun, saying that I can prepare these three hundred taels of silver for him, but he must also catch that kid. This is not a request, this is a condition!"

In his opinion, paying money was one aspect, but Gu Yuan must never be let go.

No matter how the Third Gang Leader of the Green Bamboo Gang was killed by this kid, and no matter who is right and who is wrong in this matter, none of these are important!

What is important is that this kid has become his confidant's trouble.

After all, this matter was caused by him.

If Gu Yuan doesn't die, he will not be at peace!
