Chapter 18 Taming the Beast
Gu Yu felt helpless that his family was being targeted again.
With Lian Town being so large, couldn’t they find someone else?
Must it always be them? As if there were no other attractive children nearby… Although he and Mengyao Gu were indeed good-looking, did that inconvenience anyone?
Why couldn’t everyone just live their own lives properly, instead of constantly scheming up crooked things.
Gu Yu rolled his eyes speechlessly, but he didn’t jump out to deal with the two of them. Instead, he continued to hide in the dark, wanting to hear what would happen next.
He felt as if he had found some clues about the kidnappers…
“Don’t mention Er Tou Wang to me, thinking about it makes me angry! He told me the same thing before, but what was the result? A beast suddenly ran out on the road and injured me. If Er Tou Wang weren’t already dead, I would have made him taste a more painful suffering than death.”
“Brother Hu! You’re angry, but don’t be angry with the silver! Master chose people randomly, but we are different. We know much more than Master about whether there are any good-looking women near Lian Town, so naturally, we can sell them for a higher price.”
“Tsk, you’re right. If that’s the case, then why am I still running a restaurant… Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go catch people now.”
Mentioning that fellow Er Tou Wang, Wang Hu was immediately angered, but after hearing what his subordinate said, his angry expression gradually faded, replaced by an excited one. Thinking about the bulging silver he was about to get, he didn’t feel so angry anymore.
That’s right, why should he be angry with money?
Anyway, his father had already paved the way, so it was fine for him to follow behind and get some soup.
His father had connections, making Wang Hu fearless even of the magistrate in Lian Town. His path was smooth, without even a pebble.
“Oh my lord, don’t be in a hurry! This matter needs to be planned carefully and cannot be rushed. Otherwise, if people find out, let alone anything else… just Master, we won’t be able to handle it.”
“Hmph, my father isn’t that remarkable. As long as he doesn’t find out, it’s fine. Forget it, hurry up and think of a way to get all three of the Gu family.”
“It’s not troublesome at all. Brother Hu, you can go to Yang Family Village in the evening and use the excuse of passing by to rest at the Gu family’s house… I heard that the Gu family is some distance from the village. If you close the courtyard gate then, won’t we be able to do whatever we want?”
“Good, good, good, then we’ll do as you say.”
Wang Hu and his subordinate were playing cards very loudly, but unfortunately, they didn’t know that in this quiet alley, Gu Yu was hiding. Moreover, he had already listened to their plan in detail beforehand.
After the two left with smiles on their faces, Gu Yu also stood up from his hiding place, stretched his body, and suddenly smiled.
It seemed these people didn’t know his personality!
They dared to target the Gu family, they were truly reckless!
After listening to the ‘whispers’ of Wang Hu and his subordinate, Gu Yu no longer continued to search for clues about kidnappers in town. Instead, he left Lian Town and headed back home.
However, Gu Yu didn’t go straight home.
He carefully avoided the direction of his home and deliberately took a secluded path up the mountain.
After walking to the mountainside, where he estimated no one would dare to come up, Gu Yu found a rock, sat down, and released the black bear from his space.
Any creature put into Gu Yu’s space would become motionless the moment it entered.
Therefore, the black bear released at this time still retained the memory from before entering the space… that is, the last time it was chasing Wang Hu and the others.
The black bear stood there for a few seconds. Then, upon seeing the human in front of it, it roared “Awooo!”
Following that, the black bear furiously rushed towards Gu Yu, and with its roar, a bear paw quickly swung towards Gu Yu’s head.
If he were to be hit squarely by that large paw, Gu Yu’s life would likely be over.
However, Gu Yu didn’t release the black bear to commit suicide…
So, after putting the black bear back into the space once more, Gu Yu sat lazily on the rock, and in the next second, placed the black bear back in its original position.
This repeated. By the time the black bear finally sensed something was wrong, it no longer impulsively lunged at Gu Yu, but remained alert and still.
Seeing that the black bear had finally improved significantly, Gu Yu then stood up from the rock and walked towards the black bear.
After so many encounters, Gu Yu was no longer as scared as he was when he first saw the black bear. Now, he felt as calm as if he were seeing ordinary wild chickens and rabbits.
But the black bear was confused and even a little scared.
It felt like this human was terrifying. Why was it that every time it blinked, it was back to its original position, as if under a spell? Could it be… that this person was a mountain spirit transformed into human form?
Dare not provoke, dare not provoke.
When Gu Yu got closer, he discovered that the black bear was not invincible. After its last encounter with Wang Hu and the others, the black bear still had many knife and sword wounds.
After the previous commotion, the black bear’s glossy fur was stained with some blood, and a lot had even dripped onto the ground.
At this moment, the black bear was already swaying as it stood, apparently having lost too much blood.
This wouldn’t do. The black bear would still be needed when Wang Hu and the others came!
Before the black bear could make any move, Gu Yu directly reached out, touched the red mole near his eye, and entered the space. Not long after he came out, the black bear was still standing there foolishly, not having had time to escape.
At this time, Gu Yu moved a large vat of water out of the space. This water was all scooped from the recovery fountain, used to help the black bear heal its wounds… even if it couldn’t heal them, stopping the bleeding would be good.
“Don’t move, this is good stuff.”
As Gu Yu spoke, he moved the vat of water in front of the black bear, then used half a calabash scoop to ladle some water and pour it directly onto the black bear.
When the black bear was splashed with the recovery spring water, it was about to get angry, but when the pain in its wounds quickly disappeared, the black bear was stunned. Then it stood there foolishly, without any aggressive actions, obediently letting Gu Yu pour water on it.
This made Gu Yu nod with satisfaction, thinking that this bear was very sensible.
Thus, with one person pouring and one bear standing to be drenched, almost half the vat of water was used up.
Seeing that the black bear’s wounds were no longer bleeding, Gu Yu didn’t continue pouring.
However, when Gu Yu saw the longing in the black bear’s eyes, he looked down at the remaining half-vat of water. Without being stingy, he pushed the vat towards the black bear.
At the same time, Gu Yu was being cautious, afraid that the black bear might attack him by surprise. Fortunately, the black bear was very well-behaved and had no intention of attacking.
Then, after Gu Yu took two steps back, he saw the black bear unceremoniously lift the vat with its paws and pour all the recovery spring water into its mouth.
Its heroic demeanor even made Gu Yu subconsciously think of the scenes of heroes drinking in Liangshan…
“Don’t drop it, put it down slowly.”
Remembering those who smashed bowls after drinking, Gu Yu quickly reminded it. The black bear seemed to understand and actually slowly put down the vat.
Then it no longer attacked Gu Yu. Instead, it looked a bit fawning, appearing very subservient.
This made Gu Yu twitch his mouth, wondering why this bear looked so clever?
Could it be that the recovery spring water could also increase the IQ of animals?
However, Gu Yu didn’t dwell too much on these trivial matters. Seeing that the black bear had been tamed by him, he nodded with satisfaction. Thinking that the black bear might be able to understand him, he revealed some of his future plans.
“Some people will come later. When I release you, you just need to scare them. Don’t attack! Understand?”
After Gu Yu finished speaking, regardless of the black bear’s reaction, he immediately put the black bear back into the space.
At the same time, Gu Yu also took a large rock from the mountain into his space. Then, with his hands in his sleeves, he walked down the mountain.
Before going home, Gu Yu also went to Da Gou Wang’s place in the village and bought a packet of special aphrodisiacs at a high price.
As Da Gou Wang’s rough face showed a mischievous smile, Gu Yu remained unfazed and just smiled lightly.
These medicines were not for his little wife, but for some unlucky fellows to fully experience the effects of the medicine.
Da Gou Wang in the village not only lent money but also sold all sorts of things that couldn’t be brought out in the open. Of course, the price wasn’t cheap.
Da Gou Wang was considered an unyielding scoundrel in Yang Family Village, and even the village chief Yang Hong couldn’t do anything about him.
Even though the village chief held a high position in the village, he didn’t dare to say too much to a fierce fellow like Da Gou Wang, for fear of retaliation.
Fortunately, Da Gou Wang usually didn’t operate in the village. It was said that he stayed at home all day counting silver and playing with women, living a life of pleasure.
It’s just that perhaps he had become too unethical, as he didn’t even have a child.
As for lending money and selling all sorts of harmful things, it wasn’t that Da Gou Wang forced people to buy them, so the village chief couldn’t do anything… Fortunately, those things were precious. If the farmers in the village had that spare money, they might as well buy a dozen more catties of rice, which could feed them.
However, some people in town heard about it and sent people to secretly buy some things from Da Gou Wang.
Having a gossipy younger brother-in-law at home was indeed very useful, like this information… It was all because Gu Qingheng usually chattered beside him, and Gu Yu overheard it. At this moment, he suddenly remembered.
Although Gu Yu could have the black bear beat Wang Hu and the others to death, the black bear’s previous appearance and disappearance must have been noticed.
If it appeared again this time, the incident of missing women and children might be linked to the black bear.
By then, the real murderer would be free, and the black bear would take the blame.
Therefore, Gu Yu trained the black bear on the mountain. After ensuring that he wouldn’t be attacked by the black bear, he prepared to keep it at home, where it would scare Wang Hu and the others out of their wits.
Then he would bring out the aphrodisiacs and let Wang Hu, who had already become an eunuch, have a good taste of being drugged.
Of course, it wouldn’t be just him. His subordinates would also have to taste the same.
Now that everything was prepared, Gu Yu was just waiting for Wang Hu and the others to come.
