Chapter 6: Crouching Tiger Town

Mingyue of the Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/   The latest work of Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               �

It is dozens of miles from the main peak to Wohu Town. There are also two high mountains to form two levels to prevent any roads that want to invade the Wohu Gang General Hall. After continuous improvement, the road is well built.

On the side of Wohu Town, there is a Qing River, which originates from the main peak of Wohu Mountain, gathers dozens of diversions, flows through Wohu Town and directly connects to the Han River and connects to the endless sea. White sails in the river are dotted and come back and forth.

Most of the residents in Wohu Town are descendants of the elders, deacons, etc. of the Wohu Gang in the past dynasties, and some disciples in the gang, who are injured or old or weak, stay in Wohu Town to make a living. Therefore, most of the people in Wohu Town have close ties, and most of the businesses in the town are industries in the Wohu Gang. Only a few are powerful families, sects, and chambers of commerce opened in Jingzhou or other places.

Wohu Town is managed by the Law Enforcement Hall. If anyone commits a crime and is arrested by the Law Enforcement Hall, the punishment will be very strict. Of course, there are some Erwu Ancestors who bully others by virtue of their power.

At this time, night fell, and two horse-riding guests came from afar. One was about thirty years old, wearing a robe and a short jacket with a long silk robe and a housekeeper, and the other was twelve and three years old, with beautiful eyes and a short cotton dress. A discerning person could tell at a glance that he was here to participate in the test of the disciples of the Crouching Tiger Gang.

The person who came was Zou Li and the housekeeper Zou Fu. Before leaving, Zou Li's mother was crying and reluctant to leave, worried that Zou Li would suffer in the gang. The gangs in the martial arts world live on the tip of the knife all day long, and they would inevitably be bullied. Although the Zou family is a bit famous in Sanyang Town, compared with the Crouching Tiger Gang, it is like Kunpeng and Sparrow, which is so bad that they can't use the trick, so they naturally have no ability to protect them. The mother's worries are a natural expression.

However, in this world where martial arts is the most respected, Zou Li, as the eldest son, needs to bear more responsibilities and do not want to be mediocre and do nothing, and must insist on persisting.

Zou Li said goodbye to his parents and the housekeeper and stayed overnight in the morning. He arrived in Wohu Town today, and there was still one day before he recruited his disciples.

Zou Fu was the first servant who followed Zou Wu. He has been managing business for the Zou family since he was 20 years old. Over the past ten years, he has traveled to many places. He knows that the housing must be tight during this period of time.

Therefore, instead of going to some large Kelao restaurants, I found a hotel called "Yuelai Kelao" for Zou Li with a small scale and only three-story building.

The hotel has a dining room on the first floor, and the second to third floors are for guests to stay. There is also a yard behind for guests to store horses and vehicles. Although it is not big, it is better to be quiet and tidy.

The two of them asked for a suite and moved in.

Zou Li practiced martial arts for a long time, although he was only thirteen years old, he looked similar to a teenager of fifteen or sixteen years old.

People often say: I am young and brave. Zou Li wanted to come alone to test.

But after all, she is still young and her parents are worried, so she asked the housekeeper to accompany her and purchase some medicinal materials by the way. She also wanted to understand the test situation.

Just now, the two of them washed up casually and came to the hall.

At this time, the hall was filled with people, and more than twenty tables were already full.

Because this hotel is quite simple, the first floor lobby is only for guests to eat, and there are no private rooms. There are not so many people usually. This situation occurs only when the Wohu Gang recruits disciples.

The two of them were stuck in the horse and were already a little sleepy.

Therefore, I didn't want to go out for dinner. I looked around and found that my luck was pretty good. Someone just had to pay the bill after eating. I walked over and waited for a while, and the waiter quickly put the stool back on.

The two sat down and didn't drink. They ordered three dishes and each of them filled a bowl of rice.

As we were eating, we saw a waiter, with two people, one old and one young.

The old man looks over 60 years old, wearing a short jacket, and it is still clean.

The young man is very tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a simple face. He is about fourteen or fifteen years old. He looks similar to Zou Li, so he walked towards the table where Zou Li is.

The waiter brought the two of them to Zou Li's table and stood there, "The two distinguished guests, the hall is full now. Can you squeeze in? They are all here for the Wohu Gang to test it. Maybe they will be brothers in the future?"

Zou Li glanced at the butler and Zou Fu smiled slightly.

Zou Li said, "No problem, the old man and this brother are invited to sit down. Everyone is here to take the exam. It is fate that they can sit together." After that, he sat down on the other side. The old man looked like a man bowed to Zou Li and said, "The little old man is asking for worries." After that, he pulled the young man to sit down, and then ordered two bowls of noodles.

Zou Li waited for the two of them to sit down and asked, "Is this brother your surname?" After saying that, he pointed to the boy.

The old man returned: "The young man's surname is Wang, and he is from Xiaowangzhuang Village, a neighboring county. He is my son, named Wang Dazhuang. He farms and hunts at home, and has the strength to do it. There are many brothers in the family, and his life is hard, and his face is a bit old. He is only thirteen years old. I heard that the Chouhu Gang recruits people, so he came to try his luck. He brought him over, hoping to join the Chouhu Gang, so that he can be considered good luck."

"Oh! My name is Zou Li, from Sanyang Town, Xincheng County, neighboring county. I am also thirteen years old this year. I wonder who is older?" Zou Li replied.

"It must be yours, he was born at the end of the year." The old farmer replied.

"Then I will call myself brother. I will take care of each other when I join the gang in the future." Zou Li replied.

"That's right, that's right, he's stupid in life, so he wants the guy to take more care of it," the two of them said something. The young man named Wang Dazhuang didn't speak, but just ate the noodles. From time to time, he looked at the dishes ordered by Zou Li, swallowing his saliva.

Seeing this, Zou Li ordered two more dishes, pushed them in front of them, and said, "Eat slowly, we won't wait, see you the morning after tomorrow." He got up and paid the bill, and bought their two bowls of noodles together.

The next morning, Zou Li and his wife had some breakfast casually, left Kelu, and headed straight to the street.

Although Wohu Town was mainly to help the disciples and their families live here in the early days, the natural conditions were good. A Qing River from Wohu Town communicated with the Long River to the Wu Kingdom and directly connected to the Wubian Sea, and the water transportation was very convenient.

When the Wohu Gang built the gang, it mainly focused on collecting herbs and built a medicine hall. Many disciples took collecting herbs as their business, and the fifth-grade, sixth-grade medicinal materials, and even first- and second-grade spiritual medicines were reported from time to time. Although the medicinal materials collected by the disciples in the gang must be handed over to the gangs, not all disciples can consciously respect and abide by it. Driven by interests, many disciples still secretly sold the medicinal materials to merchants in the town.

Shortly after the establishment of the Gang, under investigation by the middle and senior management of the gang, a jade mine was found within the scope of the Wohu Gang. After mining, a very small number of spiritual jade was found. Although it was blocked by the senior management of the Wohu Gang, it was still spread by those who were interested, which caused a great sensation.

The reason why it is called Lingyu is said to be carved into various types of ornaments. After wearing it, the person who wears it will feel refreshed and will not suffer from any disease.

Although the amount is small, it is hard to find treasures.

The families, sects and chambers of commerce in Jingzhou and even other prefectures of the Chu State sent strong personnel to Wohu Town, hoping to get a share of the pie in the name of operating various businesses. In order to maintain the public security of Wohu Town, Wohu Gang established the largest branch of the Wohu Gang here, and there were hundreds of law enforcement teams stationed, and one of them was stationed in heaven.

After hundreds of years of development, Wohu Town has become increasingly prosperous, forming a larger city with medicinal materials and jade as trading centers. Now the population living in Wohu Town exceeds 100,000.

It is said that at first, when the Chu royal family heard that Lingyu appeared, they wanted to set up a city here, but were strongly blocked by the senior management of the Falcon Gang. The innate high-ranking officials of both sides even drank tea together. Other aristocratic families and sects had ambiguous attitudes, and they finally left it alone, and the inside story was not enough for outsiders to tell.

The Wohu Gang thus opened up almost all the businesses in Wohu Town. However, the Wohu Gang first got the moon, among which the medicinal materials and jade industries built several super shops, becoming the iconic shops of Wohu Town.
