Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Zhang Wanshan wiped his tears with his hand and turned to look at the little boy. "You should also go back and tell your grandmother to pack up and leave Jiuyang Village. I'm afraid Zhao Erniu will be angry with you two and take it out on you."

"Oh, okay." The little boy shrank his neck in fear, quickly agreed, and ran towards the door.

Gu Chan came back to her senses and waved at him, "Don't go, you stay here and help me take care of grandpa, I'm going to go out for a while and will be back soon."

"Ah? What are you doing outside?" the little boy asked puzzled.

Gu Chan didn't say anything, but just stood up and walked out silently.

The little boy stood at the door with an embarrassed look on his face, not knowing whether to leave or stay. In the end, he chose to listen to Gu Chan and stayed to help her take care of his grandfather temporarily.

At Zhao Erniu’s house on the other side.

At this time, Zhao Erniu and three other people were sitting in the yard, each holding an egg in their hands and rolling it on their swollen faces to reduce the swelling.

The three lackeys cursed angrily.

"This little bastard has even clung to the government. It will be difficult to deal with her in the future."

"It's not that easy to get close to an official. Didn't you hear that the county magistrate wanted to get some spiritual herbs from her?"

"That's right. Spiritual herbs are not that easy to find. If she fails to deliver the spiritual herbs, she will die sooner or later."

Zhao Erniu nodded repeatedly, and shouted angrily with a gloomy face, "You little bastard, I'll let you be arrogant for a few more days. When you can't deliver the spiritual herbs, and the county magistrate blames you, I'll be the first to deal with you."

"boom!"

Just as Zhao Erniu finished speaking, the tightly closed gate of the courtyard was kicked open from the outside with a bang.

Gu Chan had a gloomy face and walked in slowly from outside.

Zhao Erniu and the other three were so frightened that they trembled all over, and the eggs in their hands that they were using to apply on their faces fell to the ground.

Zhao Erniu glared at Gu Chan and yelled, "What else do you want? Didn't you beat us just now and agreed to let it go? Why are you coming to my house again?"

"Boss, this kid knows physical skills, why don't we run away!" said the lackey in a trembling voice.

Zhao Erniu swallowed his saliva and pretended to stand up and lead the three people to run away.

Unexpectedly, an extremely unexpected scene occurred at this time.

Gu Chan walked up to the four people and suddenly bowed to Zhao Erniu, "Master, please accept my disciple's greetings."

"Ah?" Zhao Erniu was stunned!

The three younger brothers also stood there, each of them opened their mouths in shock.

Gu Chan had just had a big fight with them, how come she had changed so much in such a short time?

Gu Chan lowered her head, her face cold, "I came here with sincerity, I just hope that after I become your disciple, you won't cause trouble for the old lady and her grandson."

Zhao Erniu calmed down and stroked his chin. "You came here to bow down to me just for them?"

"Not only that, I also want you to teach me hunting skills. I will definitely go into the mountains to look for spiritual herbs in the future. With my current abilities, if I encounter an ordinary mysterious beast in the mountains, I can still fight it. But if I encounter a spiritual beast protecting spiritual herbs, I'm afraid it won't work."

Gu Chan did not hesitate and explained what was in her mind.

On the way here, she had already figured it out. If she didn't learn to bow her head now, not only would it harm her and Zhang Wanshan, but even the little boy and the old woman might not be safe.

The most important thing is that she doesn't have the skills to hunt in the mountains, so she has to learn the skills before she dares to go into the mountains.

Otherwise, if you rashly go into the mountains, it will be too late to regret if something happens.

Zhao Erniu put down his guard and asked curiously, "Didn't you give Manager Zhou half a spiritual herb this morning? Why, you don't have any spiritual herbs?"

"The county magistrate asked me to deliver a spiritual herb to the government office every three days. Even if I had a lot of spiritual herbs on me, they wouldn't be enough!"

"Hmph! He is really more evil than all of us. I just want to teach you a lesson and make you submit, but he is determined to use you as a dog." Zhao Erniu snorted coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.

In fact, from the very beginning, he didn't want to kill Gu Chan. He just thought that she had a talent for practicing physical skills, so he wanted to take her in as his apprentice and get some benefits from her later.

It was only later when Gu Chanlao went against him that he felt disgusted.

Compared to the county magistrate, he is much more conscientious.

Gu Chan obviously understood these principles, otherwise she would not have come over and bowed her head at this moment.

Not wanting to waste any more time here, Gu Chan looked up and looked directly at Zhao Erniu, "Just tell me whether you want to take it or not! Anyway, I have already faced the reality, there is no need to fight you to the death."

"Now that you have learned the skills of hunting, you won't come back to deal with us, right?" Zhao Erniu became more cautious.

Gu Chan sneered, "By that time, I will no longer be interested in you. I will not be fighting you, but that greedy county magistrate."

"Good boy, you are brave and have guts!" Zhao Erniu immediately gave Gu Chan a thumbs up.

At this moment, he actually felt a deep respect for the delicate child in front of him from the bottom of his heart.

As the saying goes, the people do not fight against the officials, let alone the untouchables in a small village like theirs.

But Gu Chan is different from everyone else. Not only does she dare to speak and act, she also has a chivalrous spirit that hates evil.

This is truly admirable.

Zhao Erniu waved his hand and said cheerfully, "Okay, I'll accept you as my apprentice today. From now on, you and I will be master and apprentice, and all previous grudges will be written off."

"Thank you, Master. I will come to learn skills from you tomorrow." Gu Chan clasped his fists and bowed.

After saying that, she turned around and left without looking back.

A younger brother came up and whispered in Zhao Erniu's ear, "Boss, why don't we trick him into the woods tomorrow and beat him up to vent our anger."

"Snapped!"

Zhao Erniu didn't say anything and slapped him in the face.

The younger brother looked aggrieved, and he put his hands over his face and asked, "Boss, why did you hit me?"

"You useless thing, you are all men, how can you be so petty? Look at him, he is only ten years old, but he has the courage to fight against the officials. How can we, adults in our thirties and forties, be so petty as to argue with a child?"

"That...that's true..." The younger brother's face turned red after being scolded, and he felt very embarrassed.

Zhao Erniu stopped talking nonsense with them and just looked towards the door with a smile on his face. He was looking forward to Gu Chan coming to him to learn skills tomorrow.

After dark, Gu Chan returned home.

The little boy heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her come back safe and sound. He rushed forward and said to her, "I'm glad you're back. I'll go back to accompany grandma first."

"You don't have to say anything when you go back. You can continue to live well in the village. I promise that Zhao Erniu and the others will not come to trouble you two again."

"Did you go to find Zhao Erniu and the others?" the little boy asked puzzledly.

Gu Chan nodded quietly.

The little boy looked at her with wide eyes, his face full of admiration.

At this moment he thought that Gu Chan had just gone to Zhao Erniu's house and beat them up again!
