Reborn as a girl, I will live forever in the world of immortality
Chapter 71 Debt Collector?
"Don't call me Master."
"Okay, Master..." Wang Shi saw He Ling's raised fist and wisely didn't say the rest of the sentence, "Good...good man."
He Ling lowered his fist and said, "Wang Shi, right? Do you know any jobs that can make money?"
Wang Shi suddenly became energetic. "Master...good man, I know that martial arts are not easily taught. Good man, how much silver do you want? Just tell me the amount, and I, Wang Shi, will definitely get it for you even if I have to sell this yard."
"Two hundred taels of silver."
"How many!"
"Two hundred taels of silver."
Wang Shi looked at He Ling and saw that he was not joking. "It's better not to worship me as your master. Goodbye!" Then he walked straight out of the courtyard gate.
After a while, he remembered that this was his own yard and forced a smile at He Ling, "My dear, this apprenticeship fee is too expensive. Even if you sell me, you still can't raise so much money. I won't become your apprentice anymore. How about you go back?"
He Ling ignored him and sat down on the recliner, which was quite comfortable. "Help me figure out how to get two hundred taels of silver quickly. You will definitely benefit from it when the time comes."
When Wang Shi heard there was a chance, he came forward again and asked, "If you can get it, I can become your disciple?"
He Ling shook his head. "I don't have any intention of accepting a disciple, but I can give you a prescription for strengthening your body, so that you can live to be ninety-nine without any problems."
Wang Shi was a little disappointed, but he still accepted it. Since he couldn't become a hero, living to ninety-nine would be fine.
Wang Shi thought for a moment before saying, "Good man, have you ever heard of a debt collector?"
He Ling nodded. Debt collectors are a general term for people who follow the rewards issued by the government and bring criminals to justice. They are somewhat similar to modern counterfeiters, but the nature of their work is more dangerous. He Ling had been a constable for a period of time before, so he naturally knew this.
Seeing He Ling nod, Wang Shi continued, "Good man, thirty miles away from Zhusheng Town, there is a tiger descending from the mountain. Recently, a group of bandits have appeared there and have robbed many caravans and pedestrians. The commander of Zhusheng Town has issued a notice that whoever can eliminate this group of bandits will receive a reward of 100 taels of silver."
"With your skills, it's no problem for you to deal with a group of bandits. Besides, those bandits probably have quite a bit of money. If you add the reward money, even if it's less than 200 taels, it won't be much different."
He Ling looked at Wang Shi with some surprise. She just came here to try her luck, but she didn't expect that Wang Shi actually knew it.
He Ling thought about it and thought that if they were just a group of mortal bandits, even if He Ling did not use any methods of a cultivator, he could easily deal with them with just physical strength. So there would be no problem in going there.
"Do you need a live person?"
"No survivors are needed, but a few heads must be left as proof."
"Okay." He Ling stood up and took two steps before seeing Wang Shi standing still. "Why don't you leave?"
Wang Shi pointed at himself, his face immediately falling. "Good man! I'm just an ordinary man. How dare I go against bandits? They're all risking their lives. Besides, I haven't married yet, so I can't let the Wang family's incense be cut off with me."
He Ling's expression remained unchanged. "Why are you talking so much? I don't know the way. Lead the way. Don't worry, I will protect you when the time comes."
Seeing that Wang Shi was still hesitant to move for a long time, He Ling took out a kitchen knife from behind.
A silver light flashed on the blade, and Wang Shi's face suddenly became resolute. "It is my lifelong wish to eliminate harm for the people. Good man, this way."
They went to the town's bulletin board to take down the notice, and then headed towards Tiger Mountain.
We walked until the sun set and finally arrived at the destination.
The overall shape of Tiger Going Down the Mountain is a gentle slope, like a tiger stretching with its butt raised, as if it is about to go down the mountain, hence the name Tiger Going Down the Mountain. However, there is no tiger on it, only a group of bandits.
Wang Shi wiped the sweat from his forehead, took two breaths, and then looked at He Ling. He Ling was not sweating at all. He was observing the terrain of Huxia Mountain at the moment. There were no big mountains around Huxia Mountain. There was a large flat land at the foot of the mountain, which was just right for the carriage to pass through. No wonder the bandits chose to rob here.
"My dear, I have brought you to the place. This mountain is very dangerous. My ability is limited, so I'd better not follow you, so as not to drag you down."
He Ling nodded as a sign of agreement, and leaving Wang Shi behind, He Ling went up the mountain alone.
After searching in the mountains for a while, I saw some horse hoof prints. After walking along the hoof prints for a while, a mountain village appeared before my eyes.
There were two watchtowers at the entrance of the stronghold. A sharp-eyed bandit spotted He Ling from a distance and asked, "What do you do?"
He Ling seemed not to hear and continued walking forward.
When the bandit saw that He Ling did not answer, he sneered and said, "You are looking for death." Then he drew his bow and arrow, and with a whoosh, a feather arrow shot towards He Ling.
He Ling didn't even look at it. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the feather arrow, which appeared intact in his hand. He then threw it casually, and saw the feather arrow flying back at a faster speed than when it came.
The bandit on the watchtower felt a pain in his throat before he understood what was happening. He wanted to speak but no sound came out. He swayed a few times on the watchtower and fell headfirst from the tower.
This woke up the other people in the stronghold. A bandit on another watchtower originally wanted to watch the fun, but when he turned around, he saw his companion shot to death. He was so scared that he quickly rang the small bell beside him.
Following a series of clanging sounds, a sturdy bearded man walked out of the house. He looked in the direction of the watchtower, took two steps at a time, and leaped onto the top of the tower. He grabbed the panicked bandit and lifted him up. "What's going on? You're so flustered."
The bandit then looked at the person who came and said, "Second in command, there is an enemy attack." He pointed in the direction of He Ling and gave a brief account of what had happened.
The bearded man was not angry but delighted. "Great! A master has come. It's just right. I've been sitting here in this village all day and am almost bored. Let me meet him."
"Open the village gate!"
When He Ling walked slowly to the entrance of the stronghold, the gate just opened and rows of bandits holding knife handles walked out of the gate. However, they walked to the sides, leaving the middle empty. A little later, a big man with a beard and two copper hammers walked out from the middle path. He first looked He Ling up and down, "Where are you from, kid? You're so arrogant, you dare to come here alone."
He Ling didn't say anything. He first looked inside the village and said, "Everyone in your village should be here now, otherwise I'll have to search for them one by one later."
The bearded man laughed loudly, then his eyes fixed, "What a crazy kid." He raised the copper hammer in his hand and rushed towards He Ling, "I wonder if you can still be crazy later."
