Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 15 People born in the Year of the Dog will turn against you at any time!

After leaving the village, Gu Yuan headed straight for the county town.

As for the Iron-Toothed Rat Ah Huang, he was hiding under his bulky and worn cotton coat.

After entering the city, Gu Yuan went straight to Tianshuixiang Hutong, which was Lin Zhou's residence.

Boom boom boom!
After knocking on the door, the courtyard gate was opened, but the person who opened the door was not Ling Zhou, but a woman with a soft face and a rather plump figure.

"Excuse me, am I here to see Lin Zhou?"

Gu Yuan showed a hint of doubt: "You are..."

The woman bowed slightly to Gu Yuan and said, "My surname is Hu, and I am Lin Zhou's neighbor and distant cousin."

When she said this, the woman blushed slightly, and she seemed a little embarrassed. "You must be Mr. Gu, right? Lin Zhou has already told me about you."

Good man, this woman has a fallen horse bun, she is clearly a widow. Lin Zhou looks honest, but I didn't expect he is also a playful person. Gu Yuan was surprised, but nodded on the surface: "So it's Sister Hu."

"Just call me Embroidery Lady. Please come in, Mr. Gu."

Hu Xiu Niang quickly let Gu Yuan in and took him to find Lin Zhou.

Inside the room, Lin Zhou was busy packing up his things. Seeing Gu Yuan coming in, he hurriedly greeted him, "Brother Gu is here."

"My room is too messy. I'm sorry to bother you, Brother Gu. Please wait a moment. I'll be there soon."

Not long after, Lin Zhou took out a set of pens, ink, paper, and inkstone, as well as a few books, and began to teach Gu Yuan to read and write.

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

This also made Lin Zhou sigh and lament:

"Brother Gu, if you could start learning to read from a young age, you might be able to pass the imperial examination and become a scholar!"

In his opinion, Gu Yuan is very smart and talented, and is a seed of learning. If Gu Yuan can start reading from a young age, he will definitely have a bright future.

It’s a pity that Gu Yuan is now seventeen years old and has wasted more than ten years of precious time.

"Brother Lin, thank you for your compliment."

Gu Yuan laughed and said nothing.

Given his status and family background, even having food was a problem in the past, so how could his family have the financial resources to support his studies?

Besides, if a scholar lived in ordinary ancient times, it would be fine as he enjoyed all kinds of privileges and had a high status. But in this world, there are demons and even people with extraordinary powers such as martial arts practitioners. In terms of status, how can they compare with a martial arts master?
In comparison, Gu Yuan is more interested in practicing martial arts.

At noon, after having lunch at Lin Zhou's house, Gu Yuan continued to study. He said goodbye and left when it got dark.

For the next half month, Gu Yuan traveled back and forth between Gujia Village and Beiliang County, repeating this life of going back and forth between the two points.

At the same time, under his secret observation, Dong Gui and Sun Er were also recuperating at home. Although they were severely tortured by their injuries, they had no intention of causing trouble for him for the time being.

As for the Qingzhu Gang in the city, they have been very active recently.

On the streets of Beiliang County, one could often see several gang members with bamboo leaves embroidered on their chests looking around eagerly, obviously looking for him.

Because of this incident, a lot of trouble was caused.

But after Gu Yuan was blessed with the "Iron Teeth" talent, he underwent a significant change.

His height, temperament, body shape, and even his face have all changed compared to before.

All these changes combined make it like a completely different person.

Even Gu's father and mother often felt that Gu Yuan was a little strange. He was no longer the same as the honest and somewhat silly Gu Yuan in the past.

In addition, every time Gu Yuan went into the city, he would dress himself up a little in advance. For example, he would wear a cotton hat on his head and change his worn-out cotton coat and shoes into new ones.

Moreover, in ancient times, there was no photography technology, so no one would use photos to find people. For various reasons, no one recognized Gu Yuan.

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

That afternoon, after Gu Yuan finished reciting an article as usual, he said goodbye to the scholar Lin Zhou and went to Tianshuijing Hutong.

However, he did not go far. Instead, he found an abandoned courtyard that had not been inhabited for a long time. He jumped hard and climbed in using his hands and feet.

"Squeak!"

Immediately afterwards, Ah Huang, who was huge, comparable to a big cat, came out from an inconspicuous corner nearby.

And at an astonishing speed, he turned into a black shadow and quickly ran in front of Gu Yuan.

The two eyeballs, as big as green beans, were bright and sparkling with a bit of wisdom.

"Let's go to the old place!"

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

"Squeak!"

Ah Huang seemed to understand Gu Yuan's meaning. He jumped and climbed over the courtyard wall.

Ji'an Hall.

"Hasn't that guy been found yet?"

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

"The shopkeeper's."

The guy shrank his head and stammered, "Boss Wu said he had sent people to look for the guy on the street for half a month and couldn't find him. And..."

"And what, say it!"

Shopkeeper Xu guessed something and said in a cold voice.

The clerk lowered his head. "Also, Gang Leader Wu said that although he and you have some friendship, the third leader of the Green Bamboo Gang died because of you. So, boss, you need to give him three hundred taels to appease his family. Otherwise, he will find it difficult to convince the crowd, and he can't guarantee what the third leader's friends and relatives will do."

Snapped!
With a crisp sound, a porcelain cup was swept to the ground by Manager Xu, smashed into pieces, and the tea inside splashed everywhere.

"Three hundred taels of silver?!"

Shopkeeper Xu's face turned ashen with anger, completely losing his previous amicable and profitable demeanor. He roared, "With such a big appetite, does this Wu think my Ji'an House is a silver shop?!"

Three hundred taels of silver, even if he took out such a huge sum of money, it would still cost him a lot of money, and he would have to spend half his life savings!

The guy was so scared that he trembled all over. Even though his legs were splashed with hot water and burned with pain, he didn't dare to make a sound, as if he was afraid of getting hurt.

After a while, Shopkeeper Xu finally calmed down.

He actually knew that even though he had a good relationship with the leader of the Green Bamboo Gang, he had to pay the money himself, he had no choice!

After all, the man named Wu is cruel and ruthless, and he was born in the year of the dog, the type who can turn against someone at any time.

If you really don't take it, you will only get into bigger trouble.

Shopkeeper Xu was silent for a moment, then said quietly, "Tell Wu Xun later that I can prepare the three hundred taels of silver for him, but he must also catch that guy. This isn't a request, it's a condition!"

In his opinion, paying money is one thing, but Gu Yuan must not be let go either.

No matter how the third leader of the Green Bamboo Gang was killed by this kid, no matter who was right or wrong in this matter, none of this matters!
The important thing is that this kid has become a big threat to him.

After all, this incident was caused by him.

He can't feel at ease until Gu Yuan is dead!
