Chapter - 49 Two Killers In the Tempest (5) (2/2)

”I'm going to do some magic, you guys just watch, ok?” He smiled at the kids as he picked up three stones. Guo Jing and Tolui's curiosity was immediately piqued and both of them stopped and watched him.

Zhu Cong held his right hand out for all to see and placed the stones in the middle of his hand.

”Gone!” He shouted as he balled his hand into a fist. When he opened his hand again, the stones were gone, shocking the little kids.

”Get in there!” Zhu Cong pointed at the old hat that was on top of his head before taking it off. The stones were sitting right in the middle of the hat. Guo Jing and Tolui let out a loud cheer and applauded with joy.

At this moment, a flock of wild geese flew toward them in a spear formation. This gave Zhu Cong an idea.

”Now we'll let my Big Brother show you a trick.” He fished out a handkerchief, handed it to Tolui, and pointed at Ke Zhen'E. ”Put this blindfold on him.”

”Is it hide and go seek?” Tolui hopefully wondered out loud as he put the blindfold on Ke Zhen'E.

”No. He will shoot a wild goose out of the sky while blindfolded.” Zhu Cong answered as he produced a bow and an arrow.

”How could he? I don't believe you.” Tolui concluded.

While the conversation was going on, the wild geese flew straight over head. Zhu Cong flicked his arm and tossed the three stones in his hand up at the geese. Because of his powerful hands, the stones shot up and startled the geese, causing the lead goose to honk several times as he readied to lead the formation in a different direction. But Ke Zhen'E had already determined its location, drew his bow to the fullest, and let loose. He hit the goose squarely in the belly and the goose, with the arrow still in it, tumbled down onto the ground.

Tolui and Guo Jing exploded with another cheer. They ran off to retrieve the goose and brought it back to Ke Zhen'E, their young hearts filled with admiration.

”Remember how the eight boys ganged up on you two earlier? Well, if you know some martial arts, then you wouldn't have to worry about there being more than one of them.” Zhu Cong told the kids.

”We will fight some more tomorrow and I'm going to get my older brother to help.” Tolui told him.

”Get help from your older brother! Hmph, that's something that useless kids do. I'll teach you a couple of moves that I guarantee will help you win tomorrow.” Zhu Cong replied.

”You mean the two of us beating the eight of them?” Tolui asked.

”Yes!”

”Yay! Come on, teach me!” Tolui was greatly excited at the prospect of beating Dukhsh.

”How about you, don't you want to learn too?” Zhu Cong asked him. He'd noticed that Guo Jing was standing to the side, seemingly uninterested.

”Mom told me that I shouldn't fight others; if I learn how to fight, then my mom will be unhappy.”

”Little chicken!” Han Baoju lightly berated him.
