Chapter 145 Different World, Same Fireworks
"Sister, these are my friends I just met today. I had a fight with Liu Xianwu, but I didn't have many brothers with me, so I suffered a great loss. Fortunately, these people helped me win the fight! Let me introduce you..." Zhang said as he introduced Yun Bai and the others. After listening to her brother's story, Zhang Dadi first scolded the leaders of the Tiger Gang one by one, and then turned around and smiled to thank Yun Bai and the others. One in front and one behind, first fierce and then polite, he actually switched so easily that Yun Bai and the others were a little dumbfounded.
"Let's not stand outside. Come with me into the house. Your second sister will be back soon. Today, the three of us brothers and sisters have to thank the five friends who came from afar. At the same time, we are also welcoming you!" Zhang Dadi's voice was pleasant and she spoke openly. She immediately won the favor of Yun Bai and others. Looking at the rough men around, a beautiful woman was in front of them, but they were respectful. None of them dared to look at Zhang Dadi even once. It seems that Zhang Dadi must not be as simple as she looks to make so many men willing to surrender.
After the Zhang siblings entertained Yun Bai and the other 5 people to the living room for tea, not long after, another loud voice came from outside the house. Then, a woman with a figure similar to Zhang's younger brother, who was five or three strong, strode in. When Yun Bai and the others saw this person coming in, their eyes widened unconsciously, and then subconsciously looked at Xiao Hua beside them - you know what, they look a bit like sisters! Seeing Xiao Hua staring at the woman who came in with sparkling eyes, Yun Bai guessed that she wanted to find someone to spar with again, and immediately sent a message to Xiao Hua, asking her to calm down, keep smiling and polite, and not to mention sparring. Sure enough, Xiao Hua immediately wilted, just sat obediently, and competed with the tea cup after cup.
"Big sister, third brother, I'm back! Hey, is there a guest?" The person who came was the second leader of the King Kong Gang, Zhang Xiaodi's second sister, Zhang Zhaodi. Seeing his second sister asking, Zhang Xiaodi hurriedly introduced the two parties and briefly recounted the previous events to Zhang Zhaodi. After hearing that the third brother said that he suffered a loss at the hands of the Tiger Gang today, Zhang Zhaodi immediately became angry and said that he would go to destroy the place no matter what. Fortunately, the eldest sister was quite prestigious, and she sank her face and spoke coldly, and Zhang Zhaodi, who was about to explode, immediately calmed down.
"Xiaobai, don't mind me, my second sister is just like that. She was at a disadvantage in the last competition and has been holding back her anger." Seeing that her second sister had calmed down, Zhang Dadi explained to Yun Bai and the others apologetically. Then she looked at the sky and said with a smile, "It's almost time. You must be very tired after coming from afar. Let's take our seats! After dinner, you should go to bed early. If there is anything you need us to do, just let us know!"
Although she heard that life in the chaotic land was difficult, Yun Bai thought that the King Kong Gang still had more than 120 members, plus their families, a total of about to people. Although this scale was not good, it should be better than the others. But after having a "sumptuous" dinner specially prepared for them, Yun Bai had a better understanding of life here.
The meal tasted quite good, and it was obviously carefully cooked. But most of the ingredients were ordinary vegetables and poultry, and only one or two dishes used low-quality spiritual vegetables. According to Zhang Xiaodi, this meal was already at the level of their New Year's Day meals. If it wasn't for entertaining a few distinguished guests, he wouldn't have had this blessing. Yun Bai and the others smiled and thanked them, but they were filled with emotion. Especially Yun Bai, she suddenly realized the expressions of Zhang Xiaodi and the several big men behind him when she casually took out a bunch of high-quality spiritual plant materials. She mistakenly thought that she was too "stingy" at the time, but now she realized that the most inconspicuous things she took out were very valuable treasures in the eyes of these people.
During the meal, the three siblings accompanied Xiaohua and the other three to toast. They were all cultivators, so drinking some wine (ordinary alcoholic beverages) was nothing. But Yunbai was an exception - she looked too much like a little girl, so everyone naturally excluded her from drinking alcohol. She was given apple juice, which was sweet and delicious, but had no spiritual power at all. Regardless of the food and drink, the few of them chatted very congenially, especially Xiaohua and Zhang Zhaodi. The more they talked, the happier they became. As soon as they got excited, they said they wanted to go to the martial arts arena after dinner to practice martial arts, which would help them digest their food. This was someone else's initiative, and Yunbai couldn't stop Xiaohua, so the two of them made a happy decision.
Yun Bai also likes the three siblings. Although they manage more than a hundred people, they are no different from ordinary people. They don't have the bad habit of bullying others. Instead, they will try their best to help their neighbors. The protection fee they collect is also the lowest level. Many poor families have even owed for many years. They will not use force, let alone drag their children to pay off the debt. As the saying goes, "live off the mountain", their main source of income is hunting in the mountains and collecting spiritual plants and fruits to sell or exchange with the gangs on the island for daily needs. Sometimes they will also take some close-range escort work, and the rest of the time is farming. Rather than saying that they are a gang, it is better to say that they are simple mountain people who hold together for warmth. With the King Kong Gang, some forces dare not bully them easily, and under the protection of the King Kong Gang, those ordinary people can also live a poor but stable life.
After dinner, Xiaohua and Zhang Zhaodi went to the martial arts arena behind the house to exercise. It was already dark, and torches were lit around the martial arts arena. It was surrounded by gang members and their families who came to cheer. The rough cheers of the men and the laughter of their wives, children and parents made this simple martial arts arena instantly warm and beautiful. Yun Bai stood beside her friends, looking at the happy scene in front of her, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face. She didn't want much, even if it was so plain and harmonious, she would feel satisfied. But she never dared to forget her mission, so she had to spur herself to keep moving forward...
"Xiaohua, you are so good! Although your cultivation is not as high as mine, your strength is not weak at all! And you are still so young, you will become a great man in the future!" After the competition, Zhang Zhaodi said to Xiaohua excitedly, and her eyes were full of appreciation and admiration when she looked at Xiaohua. Both of them were holding back, but she could feel that if she really tried her best, she might not be Xiaohua's opponent. If Xiaohua could become her own... Zhaodi thought so, subconsciously looked at her brother, then shook her head a little helplessly, and a sentence inexplicably popped up in her heart: This stinky boy is not worthy of me...
Zhang Xiaodi, who was standing by, felt puzzled when he saw his second sister shaking her head and sighing at him. He didn't know that his sister was almost going to be a matchmaker for him.
Afterwards, Yun Bai proposed to visit the King Kong Gang, and Zhang Xiaodi readily agreed and took the initiative to act as a tour guide. This place is built on the mountain, and the place is very spacious. In addition to rows of small wooden houses, there are large tracts of arable land, livestock sheds, and even a spiritual field. Zhang Xiaodi said that there is a first-class spiritual plant master in their gang, who can earn a lot of spiritual coins for the gang every year from this spiritual field. Xiaohua said that Yun Bai is also a spiritual plant master, which immediately made Zhang Xiaodi look at her more differently. He also said that he would introduce the two to each other tomorrow and let them communicate. Yun Bai did not refuse and nodded.
The cabins were all the gang members' homes, most of which were lit with dim yellow lights, probably using the most primitive oil lamps. In front of each cabin was a neat little courtyard, which was kept clean by the wives, some of whom grew vegetables, some grew flowers, and each family sat in the courtyard in groups of three or two to enjoy the cool air, while some chatted with neighbors outside the gate. When they saw Zhang Xiaodi leading Yun Bai and his companions over, they would greet them warmly. Occasionally, there were cats and dogs at home, which would also lie by the door or on the wall to "watch the fun". This scene reminded Yun Bai of a text from his previous life: The roads were connected, the chickens and dogs could hear each other, and the old and the young were happy together...
This place is completely different from Cangyu, Tianlan and her Happy Commercial Street, but it has the same atmosphere of human life and the same warm human feelings. This made her secretly determined to try her best to help these lovely people live a better life. Coincidentally, Zhang Xiaodi said that he and his second sister would go into the mountains tomorrow to try their luck. Yunbai and the other five quickly said that they wanted to go together, and Zhang Xiaodi readily agreed. Unexpectedly, they met an acquaintance on their trip to the mountains tomorrow...
