Holy body, start with the Five Animal Exercises

43: I am not an unreasonable person (please read it tomorrow, thank you all)“What’s going on? Why is it locked?” Qin Jiang frowned slightly and asked slowly.

“Reporting, Sir, this fellow went crazy after he came out of the mine. We had no choice but to lock him up, fearing he would run wild,” the Village Chief said.

“Crazy? Didn’t you find a doctor to see him?” Qin Jiang asked.

The Village Chief’s eyes darted away when he heard this. “There’s no doctor in this village.”

Qin Jiang nodded, glanced at the chained man, “Lao Tian, go and see what’s going on, and ask what happened in the mine.”

“Yes, Boss!”

Tian Shangfei waved his hand and walked over with four ordinary Gang Disciples.

“Hey, are you still alive? Give us a sign if you are.”

Two Gang Disciples directly lifted the chained man’s arms, making him kneel on the ground, and Tian Shangfei patted his face.

The chained man woke up, his vision blurry as he looked at everyone, then burst into laughter: “Hahahaha! Die! You all must die! Die! Hahaha!”

“Slap!”

With a crisp sound, Tian Shangfei directly slapped the chained man’s face, and the laughter stopped abruptly.

“Damn it! Sober up! See who I am!” he roared, pulling the chained man’s hair.

“Hehe… hehehe! Die! All must die! All must die…”

The chained man hung his head, making strange noises, his face alternating between crying and laughing.

“Damn you! You’re faking it!”

Tian Shangfei’s eyes widened, and he raised his foot to kick.

The next moment, Qin Jiang appeared beside him, pressing down on his raised leg with an open palm.

“Boss?” Tian Shangfei was stunned, speaking with some confusion.

“Take off the chains, take him to wash up, and prepare some food for him,” Qin Jiang said.

Tian Shangfei nodded, “Alright, I’ll get right to it.”

With that, he looked at the Village Chief, “Prepare a courtyard.”

“Oh, yes, yes, yes, Boss Tian, please come this way.”

“Don’t call me Boss! This is the Boss! Have some sense!”

After they left, Qin Jiang scanned the surroundings; the villagers were also looking at him.

He waved his hand, and a Gang Disciple came closer, “Go find Lao Meng, have him investigate the backgrounds of these miners, and come back quickly.”

“Understood, Boss, I’ll go now.”

A moment later, Tian Shangfei and the Village Chief returned.

“Boss, it’s done. I’ve got four brothers watching him; he definitely won’t escape,” Tian Shangfei said.

Qin Jiang nodded slightly, then looked at the Village Chief, “Village Chief, manage the villagers, don’t let anyone go out. We’re going to look at the mine.”

Upon hearing the words ‘mine,’ the Village Chief’s expression changed, “No, Sir! That mine is an inauspicious place! Look at these miners, it’s too dangerous! If anything happens to you, this old man can’t bear the responsibility!”

Qin Jiang immediately laughed when he heard this, “Village Chief, don’t worry. Since that miner could return, I certainly won’t have any problems.”

After speaking, he looked at Tian Shangfei, “Do you know the place?”

Tian Shangfei nodded.

“Let’s go, lead the way. Oh, and Village Chief, come along too.”

Before long, everyone arrived in front of a mine shaft.

The Village Chief was still trying to stop them but was directly held aside by two Gang Disciples.

Qin Jiang looked at the sealed mine shaft, “Lao Tian.”

Tian Shangfei leaned over, “What is it, Boss?”

“Do you know that miner?” Qin Jiang asked.

Tian Shangfei was stunned, “I know him. He’s quite famous. He used to cause trouble all the time, heard he was an outsider.”

“Alright, dig out the entrance,” Qin Jiang nodded slightly.

“Okay, I’ll get to it now,” Tian Shangfei said.

After digging for about half an hour, pushing in about five or six meters, they still hadn’t cleared the mine entrance.

Tian Shangfei frowned, walking towards the Village Chief with a hint of anger, “Old Liu! You’re damn idle! Where did you block this to?! Don’t you know to quickly find people to dig together?!”

The Village Chief timidly took half a step back, “Boss Tian, I wasn’t here when the mine was sealed, and I don’t know how deep it’s blocked. How about we just don’t dig anymore? What if… what if monsters or ghosts come out again? This old man’s old bones can’t handle that.”

“You say don’t dig and we don’t dig?! Go find people now! If you dare to say no again, your year-end taxes will be doubled!” Tian Shangfei said fiercely, grabbing the Village Chief’s collar.

“Lao Tian, violence doesn’t solve problems.”

Qin Jiang walked over and patted Tian Shangfei’s arm, and Tian Shangfei immediately let go.

“Alright, Village Chief, go call people,” Qin Jiang said.

The Village Chief straightened his clothes, swallowed, and quickly left.

“Boss, are you so gentle with them? These guys are just a bunch of unruly villagers! They bully the weak and fear the strong! If you’re good to them, they’ll only take advantage!” Tian Shangfei said.

Qin Jiang nodded, said nothing, and turned to look at a patch of grass behind him.

“Come out, you’ve been following us the whole way. There’s no one else now.”

Tian Shangfei froze, turned his head to look at the patch of grass, walked straight over, and came out carrying a half-grown boy by one hand.

“Hey, good kid! You’re pretty good, huh?” Tian Shangfei casually threw him to the ground; he seemed to know him.

Qin Jiang looked at the boy, who appeared to be thirteen or fourteen, dressed in rags, so much so that calling him a beggar wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

“Who is this?” he asked.

“Ergou, that’s what everyone calls him. He’s a beggar from around here,” Tian Shangfei said.

“Don’t hit me! Sir! I know how those miners died!” Ergou quickly said.

“You know?! Then speak quickly!” Tian Shangfei was first startled, then said eagerly.

“It’s Zheng DeYu’s wife taking revenge!”

Ergou sniffled, saying with a serious expression.

“Who is Zheng DeYu?” Qin Jiang asked.

“He’s that miner,” Tian Shangfei explained from the side.

Qin Jiang nodded, looking at Ergou, “How so?”

“Zheng DeYu was always bullied by the people in this village when he was mining here, but he was an outsider, and most of the other people in the mining team were from this village, so he never dared to resist. Later, the Village Chief said that Zheng DeYu borrowed silver from him for his wedding banquet and never returned it, and then people in the village started saying that Zheng DeYu’s wife was having an affair. In the end, his wife was forced to commit suicide; she hanged herself right here in this mine shaft!” Ergou said.

Tian Shangfei’s eyes widened, “Died in the mine?”

He looked at the mine, somewhat hesitant whether to dig it or not, but Qin Jiang hadn’t said anything yet, so he didn’t dare to speak up.

Qin Jiang looked at the mine, his eyes slightly narrowed.

“Keep digging,” he said.

Not long after, the Village Chief led a group of villagers over, but they didn’t have any tools in their hands.

“Sir! This old man begs you, please don’t dig anymore! You’re going to wipe out our Da Liu Village!”

After the Village Chief brought the people, he immediately knelt on the ground and wailed.

“Yes! Sir! You can’t ignore whether we live or die!”

“We called you to solve problems! Not to cause trouble!”

“Exactly! Exactly! If you keep this up, we’ll report you to the officials! Report you to the officials!”

Qin Jiang looked at these shouting villagers, his eyes cold.

Boom—!

Ferocious black-red Evil Qi erupted, flowing out like descending clouds, instantly spreading dozens of meters.

The terrifying aura pressed down on the villagers, making them unable to move, even breathing with difficulty. The sky, which was originally bright and sunny, now felt no warmth at all.

“Who has an objection?”

The voice carried a tremor, as if questioning everyone’s souls.

Thud!

Tian Shangfei suddenly rushed out of the mine, and then saw Qin Jiang’s current appearance, standing in the black-red Evil Qi as if he was about to devour someone!

“Red… Red Tiger Fist!”

He stammered, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Boss has already mastered Red Tiger Fist?! How many days has it been?! More abnormal than Sister Qin?!

Qin Jiang turned to look at him, and in Tian Shangfei’s vision, it was like a terrifying black-red evil tiger turning its head, its eyes like blood.

“Do you have an objection?”

Tian Shangfei shivered, immediately straightened up, “No! Boss! I’ll go dig now!”

With that, he shouldered a shovel and ran into the mine.

Qin Jiang turned his head back, his gaze sweeping over the villagers, “If anyone has an objection, you can speak. I am not an unreasonable person.”
