"Bah, that stuff is fake medicine. What hidden Tibetan gold whip? It's just a scam, claiming to be some secret remedy from Tibet. Damn it, I got tricked again, and as a result, I messed up at a crucial moment last night in front of the red-faced guy. Damn it..." Zhang Ye slammed the fake medicine onto the ground in anger and shouted, "Buying fake medicine deserves to die badly."
"Brother Zhang, what's bothering you? Hasn't it been a few years? Why is that thing still not better?" Outside Zhang Ye's shop, a short and stocky man with a rough appearance joked.
"Hey, why are you here? Did your son finally arrive?" While hurriedly tidying up the bottles and jars on the table, Zhang Ye said happily. He usually hated people discussing his personal matters, but seeing this visitor made him unexpectedly pleased, as if a guest had come from afar.
"What's there to tidy up? We all saw it..." The newcomer grinned at Zhang Ye and said, "So, what have you been doing these past few years? You didn't even give me a call or anything. Where have you struck it rich?" Wu Haozi strolled in casually and threw a punch at Zhang Ye.
After their experience with tomb raiding, the bond between Wu Haozi and Zhang Ye had deepened into something akin to brotherhood. Although they hadn't been in touch for years, they were genuinely happy to see each other again.
After exchanging pleasantries, Zhang Ye asked, "So, you came too? Did you have that dream as well?"
Wu Haozi nodded. "Ever since three years ago when you told me about my master's disappearance, I've been trying to find out more about him. I've even gone to Dragon Tiger Mountain a few times but found nothing. Just recently, a girl appeared in my dream and urged me to come here to meet you, so I rushed over."
Zhang Ye murmured, "It seems this really isn't just a dream... it's real... Could Wei really be in Lushan?"
"Ancient people didn't just tread on anything; they had iron shoes. Nothing comes without effort. So, brother, are you interested in getting involved in this?" Wu Haozi's fists clenched with excitement as he spoke. "I finally got news about my master! This time, no matter what, I'm going to check it out. Whether it's true or not, I'm definitely going to Lushan. Are you coming or not? If you don't come, I won't consider you my brother anymore."
Zhang Ye frowned and replied, "Of course I'm going! I've long disliked those guys. Damn it! They beat me up; I'm taking an assault rifle with me this time and will shoot them full of holes just to vent my anger." He touched the gunshot wound on his leg fiercely.
"What’s this? No more tomb raiding? Now you're getting involved in these shady dealings? Get me a bowl of shark fin rice while you're at it," At that moment, another man in a white suit swaggered in. He looked handsome and was quite the charming young gentleman. "No fans allowed; thank you."
Upon seeing this man, Wu Haozi instinctively took a defensive stance and exclaimed, "It's you! What are you doing here?"
Zhang Ye coldly replied, "This shop is closed now. You should go somewhere else. If you don't leave soon, I'll call the police."
The person who entered was Yang Na. He walked into Zhang Ye's shop, not treating himself as an outsider at all. He poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Don't be so formal; it feels too sentimental. Back in Changde, we were in life-and-death situations together. We’ve fought side by side, after all."
Zhang Ye frowned and replied, "What brings you here? I don't think we have any grievances between us."
Yang Na waved his hand dismissively. "Not at all! I'm just here on behalf of a beautiful woman; I had to come in person. Right?" Yang Na squinted his eyes and clicked his tongue. "That woman's figure, her chest, her hips, her face—truly impressive..."
"Did you dream about her too?" Zhang Ye and Wu Haozi exclaimed in surprise.
The three of them had the same dream. It was no longer just a coincidence.
Zhang Ye thought for a moment and said, "I dreamed of a woman I know. I saw her once when the people from Dragon Tiger Mountain came to capture Wei."
Wu Haozi exclaimed, "That girl must be Ding Ying! I've seen her photo; I even matched it with my master’s... cough cough... wife. I never expected she could send dreams; it seems there really are such ghostly dreams in this world."
Yang Na sighed, "In terms of looks, he’s not as handsome as me; in terms of brains, he’s not as clever as me. Why do so many beautiful women like him? It’s so unfair!"
Wu Haozi teased, "Come on, you’re just a Xu Xian."
"What do you mean by that?"
"You can only charm snakes every day... nothing else to boast about."
Yang Na retorted angrily, "What do you mean by that?"
Zhang Ye waved his hand to steer the conversation back on track. "The girl told me that Wei Ning was captured by the people from Dragon Tiger Mountain and turned into a Blood Corpse. However, she has the ability to bring Wei Ning back to life. The problem is that we need to retrieve Wei Zi. Last time, Wei Zi was taken right under my nose by Dragon Tiger Mountain, and I regretted it deeply. This time, whether it's true or not, I have to go to Lushan. Brothers, get ready; we leave soon." Zhang Ye looked at Wu Haozi and said.
"Wu Haozi" said without hesitation, "My life was given to me by my master. No matter when, it's only right to sell it back to him. I must go to 'Lushan'; otherwise, I wouldn't have come here to find you. Since you've made up your mind too, let's set off tomorrow."
"Zhang Ye" nodded and replied, "Alright, let's pack up tonight. I'll cook a few dishes for you."
Suddenly, "Yang Na" interjected, "What about me? Did you forget about your brother?"
"Zhang Ye" responded, "What does this have to do with you?"
"Yang Na" replied leisurely, "While 'Wei Zi's' life or death doesn't concern me, I do enjoy getting involved in matters that can take down those 'Dragon Tiger' bandits. Besides, a beautiful woman personally invited me to her bed; I certainly can't let her down."
"Zhang Ye" retorted, "We're all tight with Wei; what do you think you are? And who knows if you're not just a spy sent over by that 'Lin Lingsu' woman."
"Yang Na" took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one, and calmly said, "Without me, you definitely wouldn't make it. Not only would you fail to save 'Wei Ning', but you'd also lose your lives."
"What gives you the right…"
"This." "Yang Na" suddenly tore open his suit and pulled out three brand new AK-47s from inside. "What do you think? Am I still a good brother?"
"Wu Haozi" exclaimed in shock, "You… this is a death sentence! Be careful or the 'Public Safety Expert' will come looking for you."
