Chapter 214: Fellow Disciples

Chapter 214 Senior and Junior Brothers

Gao Zhijian, face flushed crimson, exerted the strength of a suckling calf, trembling as he lifted the massive halberd back onto the ox cart.

Without bothering to catch his breath, he took a cloth and wrapped the sharp halberd head.

Senior Brother Li had told him that after practicing with this halberd it must be wrapped, for the previous owner of this halberd was a Later Shu general, and if recognized by the officials of Qingqiu, trouble would inevitably arise.

Looking at the wrapped massive halberd, he scratched the back of his head with some helplessness.

He had practiced for so long, yet the result was merely being able to lift it, when clearly in that woman's hands, this halberd was like made of paper.

Gesturing with his hands to measure the length, Gao Zhijian pondered that perhaps shortening it might make it lighter, and moreover, if he were to use it, twelve feet was too long.

Only weapons for mounted combat required twelve feet, unless one was a spearman, otherwise it was too long for ground combat, making counterattacks difficult when enemies closed in.

Lifting the curtain of the ox cart, he picked up the heavy armor piled haphazardly inside and examined it closely, occasionally holding it against his body to gauge the fit.

Able to block Senior Brother Li's sword, Gao Zhijian understood these armor plates were extraordinary.

It was just that the woman was much larger than himself, so if he wanted to wear this, he would need to find a blacksmith to modify it.

Then there was the weight, this suit of armor weighed several hundred jin, his strength was insufficient and he still needed to train.

"Fool, what are you doing? Come here quickly, I have something to discuss with you. It's a good thing!"

Gao Zhijian turned around with an unwilling look on his face, lowering his head to look at Gou Wa who was speaking.

"See, do you see those women? There are a few who seem interested in you."

Gao Zhijian looked up and discovered those women gathered together were stealing glances at him, upon noticing him, they quickly shrank their heads back.

"Hey, fool, do you want a wife? If you want one, I, Cao Cao, will act as the Matchmaker for a while and pull the red string for you."

Gao Zhijian, with a bitter melon face, turned around to continue fussing with those armor plates, too lazy to bother with Gou Wa.

"Could it be you find them too dirty? You find them dirty, they haven't found you foolish yet. Folks like us shouldn't pick and choose, hurry and claim one, miss this chance and there'll be no other."

"Let me tell you, I have some lead on this. It won't be long before you can drink our wedding wine."

"Go... go... go..." Gao Zhijian said stutteringly from his mouth.

"Going? Fine, then let's go over and take a look."

"Go... go... go away!" The loudness of the voice startled Gou Wa.

"I treat you as a brother, only then do I worry about your life's great matter, later if you want to find one you might not be able to."

Gao Zhijian pushed with a palm, pushing Gou Wa into a stagger, directly falling onto the ground.

Gou Wa, face full of bad luck, cursed as he walked away, moving towards Zhao Wu on the ox cart nearby.

"Zuo zuo zuo~!" Gao Zhijian faced Mantou resting under the carriage, mouth constantly making sounds to attract the dog.

Hearing the sound, Mantou stretched his front paws straight and forcefully stretched his body, immediately after ears pressed against head, shaking head and body walking towards Gao Zhijian.

Gao Zhijian carefully held the dog in his arms stroking again and again, feeling the sensation of soft fur brushing against his palm, he couldn't help but smile foolishly.

He reached into his bosom, took out half a yellow biscuit and shook it at Mantou, seeing there was food, Mantou's tail immediately wagged more diligently.

Gao Zhijian used his hand to tear off some crumbs from the biscuit, placed them in his palm, quietly feeling the sensation of Mantou's tongue constantly licking his palm.

Mantou ate very fast, soon that half biscuit was finished, Gao Zhijian closed his eyes, burying his head in the dog fur constantly rubbing.

He liked dogs, dogs were better than people, Gao Zhijian even thought, wanting to ask Junior Brother Li to give this dog to him.

After rubbing for a while he opened his eyes, carefully took out that book of military strategy from his bosom, and began to read closely.

He didn't know why again and again he never grew tired of reading, clearly some content on here he didn't quite understand, yet he felt there was a sensation on this book that was familiar.

Gou Wa in the distance looking at Gao Zhijian holding Mantou, helplessly shook his head, "Sigh, this fool indeed has not opened his wisdom, has women not playing likes playing with dogs."

"Gou Wa, I advise you to behave, if you use force on those women, Senior Brother Li has no time to attend to you now, Xiao Man will definitely chop you with one sword." Zhao Wu holding an old abacus, currently counting supplies advised.

"You speak this way, not coming yourself is fine but also belittle me? I Gou Wa seeking a wife need to use force?"

"Dealing with women, I am very proficient! You just watch, before Liang Kingdom, I will definitely hook up with one! Bet something or not?"

"Fine fine fine, you are powerful okay, you hurry and hook up, just don't bother me, I here still need to count accounts, not distribute well, you next meal just go hungry."

Gou Wa scratched the vitiligo on his face with his hand, looking at Zhao Wu whose shoulders were uneven, still not giving up advised: "You truly do not plan to join me? Folks like us must know our own weight. If not grasp, you will be a bachelor for life."

Zhao Wu really somewhat annoyed him, "Senior Brother Li injured like that, you now still have idle time chat this matter?"

"His hand broken can grow back, worry what ah, you all just blind worry."

"Following along this road, I have seen clearly, Senior Brother Li is simply this!" Gou Wa held his thumb high. "Rest assured, even if King Yan comes personally to find him, he will be fine."

Zhao Wu's eyes revealed a trace of worry, recalling all seen during this period, no matter how he looked Senior Brother Li did not seem like someone in trouble.

They all have defects, but only Senior Brother Li's defect is invisible, also counts as most powerful.

"What do you worry, Senior Brother Li now counts as half an immortal, knows so many divine powers, even if truly there is trouble, can we help?"

"Zhao Wu, did I not just say? This person must know their own weight, I know I have no ability, so I wisely do not worry about this."

"How you so no ambition?"

"Forget it, acting like you have much ambition, except for Senior Brother Li, anyone with ambition would have been killed by Lai Zi Tou in that cave long ago." Gou Wa's face full of disdain.

Dialing abacus sound suddenly stopped, Zhao Wu voice carrying hesitation said: "Gou Wa, you say Senior Brother Li those divine powers, can teach to us?"

Zhao Wu's words out, Gou Wa immediately covered his stomach and lifted his foot to walk, "Aiya, aiya, why does my stomach hurt, I want to go take a shit, chat another time."

He had seen clearly long ago, Senior Brother Li's divine powers did not come for free, Chun Xiao Man just used once and lost a hand, too scary.

Moreover maybe Senior Brother Li becoming crazier was because of these powers entangling, he did not want to meet such an end.
