Chapter - 144 Meeting the Zhongshan Wolf While Blocking the Way (2) (1/2)

Zhang Wuji hurriedly went over to support Yang Buhui. At the same time, he heard the footsteps of others entering the forest. Yang Buhui was terrified when she heard the sounds of other people and hid herself in Zhang Wuji's arms.

Zhang Wuji raised his head to take a look, but was calmed, shouting, ”It's Mr. Jian, Mr. Xue.”

Five people had entered the forest. One was KongDong's Jian Jie, and another was Huashan's Xue Gongyuan along with two of his martial brothers. All these people were healed by Zhang Wuji. The last person was an heroic looking approximately twenty year old youth with a broad forehead whom Zhang Wuji had never met before. Jian Jie made a ”Heng!”, saying, ”Brother Zhang, you're here also? What happened to these two people?” As he was saying this, he pointed to the two people on the ground.

Zhang Wuji indignantly told the story of what happened, ending with, ”They even dared to eat people, aren't they outlaws?”

Jian Jie was staring at Yang Buhui, when all of a sudden saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth, so he licked his lips, saying, ”Damn, for five days and five nights I haven't had a grain of rice in my stomach, only eating some tree bark and grass…..En, fine skin and meat, fatty and tender…”

Zhang Wuji saw that Jian Jie had a fire in his eyes, looking like a hungry wolf, with his mouth hanging wide open and his teeth gleaming. He really looked scary, so Zhang Wuji hugged Yang Buhui close to him. Xue Gongyuan asked, ”Where is this girl's mother?”

Zhang Wuji thought in his heart: ”If I say that Auntie died, they'll have even more evil thoughts.” So he said, ”Heroine Ji went out to buy some rice, she'll be back soon.” Yang Buhui suddenly said, ”No, My mom flew up to the sky!”

When Jian Jie and Xue Gongyuan heard the two of them speaking, they knew Ji Xiaofu had already died. Xue Gongyuan laughed coldly, saying ”Buying rice? If you find a grain of rice within these five hundred kilometers, you'll really have skills.” Jian Jie shot a look at Xue Gongyuan, and the two suddenly jumped towards them. Jian Jie's two hands grabbed ahold of Zhang Wuji's shoulders. Xue Gongyuan's left hand covered Yang Buhui's mouth, and with his right hand he picked her up.

Zhang Wuji was startled and shouted, ”What are you guys doing?” Jian Jie laughed and said, ”In these thousand kilometers in Fengyang province, I've been so hungry I can't stand it anymore. This girl isn't related to you, so we'll split a portion with you later.” Zhang Wuji angrily insulted them: ”You wrongly claim to be heroes, how can you bully a small orphan? If this gets out, how can you even claim to be human?”

Jian Jie flew into a rage, grabbed him with his left hand and hit him twice on the face, saying, ”We'll kill you small beast along with her, we originally thought one small lamb might not've been enough.”

Zhang Wuji had just taken care of the two villagers easily, but up against Kongdong's martial artists who had learned decades of martial arts, Zhang Wuji was easily captured and his struggles were in vain.
