Warring States Survival Guide

Chapter 118 She was going to laugh at them harshly!

A-man, the "star of hope" of the Koga survival style, the only one who has learned the top secret "Yang Jutsu". Even though she was born with poor martial arts skills and was a gangster who spent all day thinking about how to kill masters with a cannon and had no martial ethics at all, it was impossible to hurt her with ordinary sneak attacks.

She was sitting on the horse, and when she heard the wind, she instinctively used the "Life-saving Secret Technique Black Tortoise Shrinking Head" move. The stone brushed past her hair and flew past. She instantly flew into a rage, turned the horse's head and cursed in the direction of the stone: "Which dung beetle is so despicable that he even dared to sneak attack me? Are you tired of living?"

She is no longer the street urchin A'man. She is an important pillar of the Nohara family and a legitimate head of the East Factory. If she dares to attack her again, it would be like a slap in the face of "Lord Nohara Saburo, the Lord of Wanjin", and blood must be drawn!
There was no movement in the bushes by the roadside. After a moment, there was a slight shake, and half a sentence came out, "The eyebrows are right, it's really that old beast... Um, let go quickly, don't cover it, your hands are all mud!"

Aman twitched his eyebrows, but was no longer angry. He quietly took out the cannon and began to load gunpowder into it. At the same time, he waved his hand to signal the Langdang family members not to be nervous. This was not a thief coming to rob, but an acquaintance they had met.

A moment later, two children younger than her emerged from the bushes. They also had little boy hairstyles, pigtails, and bangs. They had a short-handled kunai inserted diagonally at their waists. They were Aqian and Ayu, the inheritors of the "Yin Jutsu" of the Life-Saving Style.

After the two of them emerged from the bushes, they did not approach the main road. A Qian asked her from five or six meters away with a look of doubt on her face: "Old... A-Man, is it really you? Why are you here? And... and so..."

She has a low level of education, not even as good as the former A-man, and was at a loss for words for a moment. After all, A-man has really changed a lot.

Aman has been eating too well over the past year, with rice and chicken for every meal, and he is also fond of fried foods, so there is no trace of dirt on his little face now. His skin is smooth, tender and has a healthy blush. His hair is no longer messy as before. Even though it is still tied in a small bun, it is washed and groomed very neatly. His hair is even healthier, and it reflects light like a crow's feather in the sun.

Even the color of her cleft brows seemed to be a little thicker than before, and more noticeable.

She was dressed very decently, with a bright blue fine cotton top, a dark blue haori with white gourd pattern, a wide gold silk belt around her waist, brown hakama, and riding a very majestic horse. Even if we don't mention the horse worth dozens of kan, just looking at the clothes she was wearing, we can say that the fabric was exquisite and the cut was perfect, and it was definitely not cheap.

She really couldn't recognize him. After all, Buddhas need golden robes and people need clothes. Aman dressed like this is like a completely different person compared to before when he dressed like a beggar. If Aman's eyebrows were not similar to those of Shiba Inu, which are very recognizable, she would not have dared to believe A Yu's words and throw the stone to test him. Even now that they are face to face, she is still a little bit unbelievable.

Seeing her surprised face, Aman also looked down at herself, a little regretful that she didn't wear armor today. Otherwise, with a lot of small accessories specially added to the armor, the super gorgeous domaru, and the katana wakizashi, she would definitely be able to shock the other party's jaw - Yuanye bought it for her again, but this path has always been peaceful, and there is no need to wear armor for daily travel. She didn't wear it today, and couldn't show off in front of old acquaintances, which was a bit regrettable.

But it doesn't matter. This is enough to make them suffer from jealousy.

Ah Man raised his head, rode forward a few steps, looked Ah Qian and Ah Yu up and down, laughed and said, "Of course it's me, but I haven't seen you for such a long time, how come you two little bastards are still the same, haven't you grown at all?"

There is nothing in the world that makes people feel better than showing off their wealth in front of old acquaintances, and she feels great now.

Ah Qian was irritated by her. She couldn't stand Ah Man taking advantage of his age and was about to curse back, but Ah Yu pulled her skirt from behind and whispered something in her ear. She immediately realized, "You old beast, you never came back. It turns out you went to be someone's dog. No wonder you're riding a horse all of a sudden!"

"Shut up your dung beetle fart, you two little beasts are acting like dogs! You came here this time to act like dogs for the Saito family, right?!" Aman was not happy, and he turned hostile immediately. He took out a tinderbox to light the match, raised his cannon and pointed it at them, cursing, "I haven't dealt with you two for more than a year, you two are itching for trouble again, right? You dare to talk to me like that? Today I will deal with you two by myself, and let you know who has the final say in the survival flow!"

In the past, if these two little brats rushed at her at once, she really couldn't defeat them. But now it's different from before. They are just two little balls of dung without even armor, and she has a cannon in her hand. Killing them is as easy as killing chickens.

Ah Qian looked at the dark muzzle of the cannon and was really frightened for a moment, but he didn't hide and shouted, "Who are you trying to scare? I don't believe you dare to fire!"

"I don't dare?!" Aman laughed loudly towards the sky, and then lowered his head while laughing. His bangs cast a shadow on his eyes. He didn't waste time talking to her and directly pulled the trigger. He wanted to teach her a lesson and let her know what it means to respect the elderly. The iron cannon did not hesitate either. It immediately made a loud bang and spewed out a long dragon of gray-white thick smoke, which directly enveloped the two little kids, Aqian and Ayu.

A Qian and A Yu didn't expect that she was not afraid of the old man and actually dared to open fire. Moreover, the distance was too close. Even though they rolled to the sides the moment they noticed she pulled the trigger, they still couldn't avoid the smoke that exploded in an instant. They were choked and coughed continuously. When they rolled away, their faces were black and their ears were tinnitus. They felt a little dizzy lying there.

Ah Man laughed loudly, waved his hand to signal the Langdang family to arrest them, and quickly loaded bullets. This time, he used a morning bottle to load real bullets, not just gunpowder and smoke to scare them. He also warned them: "Don't resist, and don't even think about running away, or I'll break your legs. You know I always keep my word!"

"You're talking nonsense. You said you would do what you said. You still haven't paid us back! You've been saying that for hundreds of years, but we haven't seen a penny!" Ah Qian was still not convinced, but she was surrounded by people while she was dizzy. Even if they practiced the "Yin Art", they couldn't escape smoothly in this situation. They could only be disarmed and tied up. Of course, the main reason was that Ah Man had always been lawless. He did whatever he wanted and dared to do anything when he got angry. Now that he had loaded live ammunition, the possibility of him really shooting them was not low, and they didn't want to gamble with the blood hole on Ah Man's hit rate.

"The one hundred and sixty-one coins? You have been holding on to this little money for so long, no wonder you have no future!" Aman is no longer the poor fellow he used to be. He reached out his hand and took out a silver coin from his bosom and wanted to throw it on Aqian's head to teach her a lesson and let her know Aman's financial strength. But after hesitating for a moment, he felt that it was a bit too much, so he put it back and directly ordered Langdang, "Shut their mouths and throw them onto the ox cart. Let's keep going!"

She loaded A Qian and A Yu onto the truck and took them away. She was not in a hurry to return to Wanjin, but first went to Atsuta Port to finish her business. She also went to pick up a batch of pre-ordered coarse cloth and bean cakes. Then she took them home together with the bean cakes and coarse cloth, and had someone carry them back to her room. She also called A Qing over.

When Aqing arrived, he saw Aqian and Ayu tied up like silkworms lying on the floor with their mouths blocked. They were trying to pupate like maggots and were unable to sit up. He looked at Aman with a cold gaze, and when he saw that she had no objection, he went over to untie them and picked them up.

Ah Qian sat up and took out the rag from his mouth, spitting several times. He raised his head and wanted to yell at Ah Man, the old beast, for not treating his own people like this. He was going to rebel, but when he saw Ah Qing was stunned, he said in doubt: "You are Daxu... No, you are Ah Qing?"

Ah Qing has also changed a lot. He has grown a head taller than before, and his figure looks slimmer, but his complexion is very rosy. It seems that he eats well, but has only grown taller and not fatter. He is no longer dressed like a little boy. The little tuft on his head is gone, and his hair is long now. However, it looks like he hasn't grown it for very long. His hair is now neither long nor short, so he can only tie it into a ponytail with a headscarf.

Her clothing has also changed a lot. Although she is only wearing a plain short-sleeved top without any patterns and is barefoot, she is not as flashy as A-man, who only wears bright colors and even dares to wear a silk belt. However, you can still see that the fabric of the clothes is straight and smooth, and it is first-class material. If she sells it outside, the price will not be cheap either.

At the same time, there was a katana with very beautiful lines inserted diagonally on her waist, which was also a high-end weapon that she had not had before.

A Qian didn't dare to recognize A Qing for a moment. She felt that if she was dressed like this, no one would believe her if she said she was the noble lady of the Wu family. A Qing glanced at her indifferently and sat down next to A Man. She didn't care about whether she was a beast or not. Her expression and personality were similar to before, cold and taciturn.

Ah Qian looked away from her, and thinking about Ah Man's arrogant manner all the way, he couldn't help but his eyes started to well up again: "You guys still say you're not being dogs, but you're obviously being dogs for others, the old man won't agree!"

Ah Qing looked up at her and then lowered his eyelids again, still ignoring her. Ah Man was not angry this time, but said with disdain: "How can a dog be like us? Look in the mirror, you are the ones who are really acting like dogs."

She was not stupid. She and Aqing ate what Yuanye ate, wore what Yuanye wore, and used what Yuanye used. How could a dog be treated like this? Moreover, Yuanye was unable to move and was about to die. Before he died, he did not intend to drag her and Aqing down. He took the initiative to let them find their own way to live, and even remembered to let them take a share of the "inheritance".

This is definitely not the attitude to treat dogs, this is to treat them as close friends. Only in this way can he still think of them when their lives are in danger.

There is great terror between life and death. It can reveal a person’s true nature, and you cannot deceive anyone.

If it were not so, she would not have gritted her teeth and made up her mind to risk her life to fulfill her friendship - since you dare to treat me as a friend, then I cannot betray this loyalty - to lead away the pursuers, escape death, and fight for a way out for Yuanye. Otherwise, she would have dragged Aqing away without looking back, and at most she would have burned incense for him during festivals in the future.

On the contrary, in the past they had to survive by wandering around as spies for wealthy and powerful families. It was hard and tiring but they earned very little and could only eat leftovers. That was truly like being a dog.

Asahi didn't have a mirror, she couldn't afford one, and was speechless for a moment. She looked around the room and found a steel domaru with a peach-shaped steel bag on top placed in the corner of the room. The iron cannon that Aman had taken before was also thrown there, and next to it were wakizashi, katana and a small steel axe. It had everything it needed. It was luxurious equipment that they had never dared to think of before. If they had all of them, they would definitely save several more lives.

So she was even more speechless, and felt that Ah Man was right, this really didn't feel like being a dog. If it really was a dog, this dog was too comfortable, it really had everything it wanted, more like a master than the master.

Seeing that she had finally behaved herself, Ah Man let bygones be bygones and did not intend to kick her again. He was just about to ask how the two of them ended up in this area and what they were doing, but seeing that they looked listless and could not even straighten their backs while sitting there, they must have been suffering from hunger all day, so he told Ah Qing first, "We are acquaintances after all. Go get some food to feed these two little beasts. Make it better and don't be stingy."

If one does not return home when rich and powerful, it is like walking at night in fine clothes. She has now become successful with Yuanye, but she has no way to go back and show off. It would be fine if she could show off in front of old acquaintances.

Well, these two little beasts will look extremely ugly when they eat later. She will laugh at them and make them feel disgusted. She is such a shallow and vicious Aman!
