Mortal counterattack

Leng Yiyao, who was sitting opposite, saw Zhou Chen sitting there in a daze, "Brother Chen, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Chen came back to his senses and smiled and said, "Come and eat quickly if you have nothing to do." Then he pushed the meat towards him and secretly opened his attribute panel.

"The strength actually increased by six points." Feeling the huge power coming from his body, Zhou Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Yiyao, I think the snow should stop today. I'm going to go up the mountain again tomorrow."

"Ah, why don't you rest for a few more days when you go up the mountain again?"

"No, I have to prepare all the meat for the winter before the mountains are closed."

Time soon came to the next morning. Zhou Chen had washed up early and was ready to go out, but Leng Yiyao got up earlier than him and had cooked the meal early.

Leng Yiyao stood at the entrance of the courtyard and watched Zhou Chen leave, waving goodbye and saying, "Brother Chen, come back soon."

Zhou Chen didn't look back, just waved "I know" with his back to him, and then walked towards the mountain. The snowy road that had fallen for several days in a row had become very difficult to walk, which made his speed faster than before. A lot slower.

At this moment, a person walked up next to him. Zhou Chen turned around and looked at Li Ergou. Zhou Chen's right hand subconsciously placed on the handle of the knife.

"Brother Ergou, why are you here?" Zhou Chen is not afraid of him now.

Li Ergou smiled and stepped forward and asked, "Xiao Chen, are you going to the mountain? It just so happens that I also want to go up the mountain. Let's get together." Without waiting for Zhou Chen to speak, he walked towards the mountain on his own.

After walking a few steps, he found that Zhou Chen had not followed, so he turned around and urged, "Hurry up, Xiaochen."

Zhou Chen then followed Li Ergou leisurely. During this period, Zhou Chen's right hand was always on the handle of the knife and he was always on guard against Li Ergou.

An hour later, Zhou Chen said, "Brother Ergou, I'll just hang around here and won't go any further."

"What kind of prey can there be on the outside? Brother Zou will take you a little deeper today."

"It's better not to do it. It's too dangerous in the mountains."

"Hey, what are you afraid of when I'm here?" He reached out and grabbed Zhou Chen's hand, trying to pull Zhou Chen away.

Zhou Chen, who originally thought he was at his mercy, actually remained motionless under his pull. Li Ergou turned his head curiously. At this time, Zhou Chen looked at Li Ergou expressionlessly and said coldly, "Brother Ergou, it's you." Go by yourself, I won't go." After saying that, he shook off Li Ergou's hand.

"Since you don't want to go, brother, forget it." Then Li Ergou walked toward the depths of the mountain forest alone.

Zhou Chen wandered aimlessly around the perimeter. Now there was basically no prey in the perimeter. Even if he wandered here for a day, he would not gain anything.

Two hours later, Zhou Chen found a big rock and sat down, then took out a piece of cooked meat from his arms and started eating. This was prepared by Leng Yiyao for him in advance.

Just as he was eating, an arrow flew over from a distance. Zhou Chen noticed the danger and immediately ducked sideways. When he looked back, he didn't find anyone there.

At this time, Li Ergou, who was hiding in the dark, saw that the blow missed and cursed secretly, "Oh, this guy's reaction is quite fast." Then he took up his bow and released the arrow again.

This time Zhou Chen discovered his position. After dodging an arrow, he took out his own bow and arrow and shot at Li Ergou's position. Although he couldn't see clearly who his opponent was from a distance, he dared to sneak attack him. Then he won't be merciful.

Li Ergou was not an ordinary person. He easily dodged Zhou Chen's arrow. When he saw the arrow going deep into the tree, Li Ergou smiled and said, "What a good bow. I must get it today."

At this time, Zhou Chen drew his bow and arrow again and aimed at the target in the distance. At this time, his strength reached 13 points, and he could easily hold the long bow in his hand. As soon as Li Ergou emerged from behind the tree, Zhou Chen's arrow came forward. , if he hadn't reacted quickly, the arrow would have passed through his head.

After several attempts, Li Ergou found that he had no room to fight back. "Why is this boy so good at archery? Forget it, I'd better be steady and look for an opportunity to deal with you next time."

Then Li Ergou found an opportunity to leave here. The distance was too far and Zhou Chen had nothing to do with Li Ergou who was determined to escape.

After retrieving the arrow, Zhou Chen wandered around the mountain for a few hours and then went down the mountain. He arrived home before the sun went down. When Leng Yiyao saw Zhou Chen coming back, she quickly brought him a basin of hot water to wash his hands.

"Something happened today and I didn't catch any prey."

"As long as everything is fine, it's fine. We still have food to eat, so we don't have to worry."

Zhou Chen lay in bed at night and recalled today's events. Although he couldn't see the person clearly from a distance, that person was most likely Li Ergou.

"It seems we have to find a chance to get rid of this guy." In today's world, as long as there is no absolute evidence, the government will not interfere with such nosy matters.

Early the next morning, the originally peaceful small mountain village became lively because people from the government came. It was said that the border war was tense and the court wanted to collect food again. However, this time they did not ask for as much food as the previous times. Perhaps they knew that these people had already There is no more food left.

But even so, the people couldn't come up with the amount they needed. They went into the house and rummaged around regardless of the people's lives. In the end, when they couldn't find it, they cursed a few times and moved on to the next house.

At this time, Leng Yiyao had taken out more than ten kilograms of food from the cellar and put it in the room. Zhou Chen, the official, could not afford to offend him. After preparing the food, he let Leng Yiyao hide in the cellar. After all, those officials were not good people, and Leng Yiyao was beautiful, so accidents were inevitable.

Soon the gate of the courtyard was kicked open, and Zhou Chen hurried out to greet them, "I wonder what orders you have?"

One of the leaders said, "The border war is tight, we are ordered to collect food, and quickly hand over the food to prevent our brothers from taking action."

"Good little one will take it right away." Hearing Zhou Chen's answer, all the constables were stunned. This kid was quite straightforward. Then they saw Zhou Chen took out half a bag of food.

"My family has so much food, officials." After taking the food, the leader winked at another person, and that person went straight into the house.

Zhou Chen subconsciously wanted to go to the fence, but was kicked hard. "Stand here." Zhou Chen was kicked and sat on the ground. He was so angry that his teeth itched, but he didn't dare to get angry, so he had to stand up and wait.

Then he heard the sound of rummaging in the house, and from time to time, there were sounds of broken dishes. After a long time, the constable came out with a small half bag of food and a piece of venison weighing several kilograms.

Looking at the things in his hands, the leading constable scolded, "I said why you are so straightforward, it turns out that there are good things hidden in the house."

Then he kicked Zhou Chen, and Zhou Chen sat on the ground again, "Brothers, beat me." Zhou Chen didn't dare to fight back and had to cover his head with his hands, letting them beat and scold him.

It took a long time for them to leave. After they left, Zhou Chen stood up, "Don't fall into my hands, otherwise I will make you live a life worse than death", and then stepped forward to close the gate.

Zhou Chen's physical fitness was much stronger than that of ordinary people. Although he was beaten, he did not suffer any injuries. After the pain for a while, he no longer felt any discomfort.
