Chapter 7: The Lair of the Sleeping Tiger

  Lin Fei hastily waved his hand: "Everyone, brothers, wait! Your Su aunt is right here!"

  At this time, Su Yun's voice came from behind the stone: "Er Dang! I'm over here!"

  The first person's face lit up with joy, and he hastily ran to the back. Before long, he was heard shouting loudly: "Xiaofeng! Chunni! Come quickly to take care of Aunt Su!"

  Upon hearing this, several people were overjoyed. The two little girls who had just gotten off their horses hurriedly ran over, and the crowd also gathered around. When they saw Su Yun's injuries, they all showed a hint of sadness.

  Little Feng hugged Su Yun and burst into tears: "Auntie! How can they be so cruel, beating you up like this?! I won't let them off!"

  Chunni slowly helped Su Yun up: "Auntie! Does it hurt a lot?"

  "Don't worry about me! It's just some superficial wounds, I'll be fine after a few days of rest. By the way, let me introduce you to Mr. Lin, he's the one who rescued me."

  These people finally turned around and carefully looked at Lin Fei, seeing that Lin Fei was still wearing a suit and tie, his body straight, over 1.8 meters tall, with a handsome face exuding an air of elegance, several people nodded in unison.

  Su Yun pointed to a man in his thirties with a mustache and said, "Mr. Lin! This is the second master of our Sleeping Tiger Mountain, his name is Zhong Er Deng! The third master is called Wei Wu You, this one is the fourth master Han Peng and the fifth master Li Da Ping."

  Lin Fei hastily bowed his hands to everyone: "Nice to meet you all, heroes!"

  "Haha! Mr. Lin! Thanks a lot today! From now on, you're the great benefactor of our Sleeping Tiger Mountain! Benefactor, please accept our respects!"

  Zhong Er Dang said, and then gestured to the crowd to kneel down. Lin Fei was startled and hastily stepped forward a few steps, helping Zhong Er Dang and others up with both hands: "Everyone! This can't be done! I also coincidentally bumped into you! You don't need to do this!"

  However, Zhong Er and a few others still insisted on giving Lin Fei three loud knocks on the head before getting up. Lin Fei shook his head: "Right! I have a bottle of golden wound medicine here, which might be useful for Su's injury. Come, Little Phoenix! You take it, apply it three times a day, and rub it evenly back and forth. It won't take long to heal."

  Su Yun smiled slightly: "Then thank you, Mr. Lin! By the way, Mr. Lin! To express our gratitude, please come to our mountain village for a visit."

  Lin Fei waved his hand: "Su Niang! I think it's not necessary anymore! A few heroes have already arrived, you'd better hurry back to the mountain stronghold, your body needs to rest urgently, I won't disturb you!"

  Zhong Er stared with his eyes wide open: "Mr. Lin, aren't you looking down on us?"

  Lin Fei hastily shook his head: "Zhong Yongxian mustn't say such things, I didn't mean to look down on everyone, I still have important matters to attend to..."

  "Haha! That's great! Since that's the case, Mr. Lin! Come with us to the mountain stronghold for a trip! We must thank you properly, Big Dragon! Hurry up! Help Mr. Lin onto his horse!" Zhong Er Chong waved his hand at the two people beside him.

  Lin Fei sighed and said: "Alright then! I'll do it myself! Xiao Feng, be gentle, don't touch Su Niang's wound."

  A few people rode their horses forward, and after walking for about five or six miles, a suspension bridge appeared in front of them. A gust of wind blew over, causing the bridge to sway with the wind. After several people got on the bridge, they all looked at Lin Fei with their eyes, wanting to see if this young man, who looked like a bookworm, had the guts to do it.

  Lin Fei smiled slightly and waved his whip, the horse raised its head and let out a long neigh as it galloped towards the suspension bridge. Several people exchanged glances and nodded in unison.

  After crossing the suspension bridge, there was a narrow path that seemed to have walked for about seven or eight miles. In front of them appeared a mountain gate, and they heard the sound of horses neighing. The mountain gate quickly surged out with dozens of people, and when they saw Su Yun and others, the entire mountain stronghold immediately erupted in cheers.

  Arriving at the Mountain Stronghold's great hall, Lin Fei was politely invited to take the seat of honor by the crowd. Su Yun exchanged greetings with everyone before being carried out by Xiao Feng and others.

  Zhong Er ordered loudly to start a fire and cook, saying that he wanted to get drunk with the great benefactor of the mountain stronghold. In no time, the tables in the grand hall were filled with wine and dishes.

  Zhong Er stumbled over with a bowl of wine and came to Lin Fei's side: "Mr. Lin! I represent the brothers of the mountain stronghold to thank you! Come on! Let me toast you a bowl!"

  Lin Fei hastily stood up with both hands holding a bowl of wine: "Zhong Yingxiong! Everyone! Thank you for your warm hospitality, I'll drink this bowl of wine!"

  Seeing Lin Fei drink a large bowl of wine without blinking, the crowd cheered in unison. Next, Wei Wuyou and others came over to toast him one after another. After pushing away a few times, Lin Fei's heroic spirit rose up.

  As Lin Fei finished bowl after bowl, the conference hall gradually fell silent, and everyone looked at Lin Fei with a face full of heroic spirit, their eyes filled with respect.

  After dinner, Zhong Er pulled Lin Fei up: "Mr. Lin! I'll take you to visit our mountain stronghold!"

  Lin Fei followed Zhong Er Dang and others for a lap, and couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart. It seems that Su Yun and others have done a good job, such an arrangement is more than enough to deal with some small thieves, but if they want to deal with regular troops like the Central Army, it will be far from enough.

  Lin Fei and others returned to the conference hall, Xiao Feng ran over, she told everyone that Su Aunt wanted to see Lin Fei, Zhong Er Deng and others surrounded Lin Fei and came to the house where Su Yun lived.

  Su Yun's house was behind the Shanzhai conference hall, which was a large and transparent three-room house with several chairs placed outside, a square table in the middle, and inside, a wall made of mountain wood separated a room, where Su Yun's bedroom was.

  Su Yun walked out with Chunni's support, and Lin Fei hurriedly went to meet her: "Miss Su! Your body is very weak now, it's not easy to come and go, you'd better lie back down!"

  Su Yun shook her head: "It's okay! I've seen this kind of scene many times, besides, the medicine given by Mr. Lin is really effective, after using it once, I feel much better."

  Zhong Er Deng and others thanked Lin Fei again, Su Yun looked at Lin Fei: "Mr. Lin! I remember you said you wanted to go to Beijing? When do you plan to set off? At that time, I will send someone to escort you there!"

  Lin Fei smiled and waved his hand: "No need to trouble the heroes, I'm just one person, what danger could I be in? Besides, you've seen it before, if I run, no one can catch up with me, Zhong Er's master, don't you think?"

  Zhong Er nodded: "Haha! Mr. Lin! You didn't mention it, I had forgotten to ask, when we were at the law court, even if you started earlier than us, but we rode horses and couldn't catch up with you, let alone you carrying Su Gugu on your back! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't have believed it."

  Han Peng gave a thumbs up: "Mr. Lin! Looks like you're also a master? How about it? Show us your skills and let us take a look!"

  Lin Fei smiled slightly: "Hehe! Han Yingxiong is joking, what's the big deal about being a martial arts master? It's just that he runs faster than others, nothing to brag about!"

  Su Yun smiled: "Mr. Lin! Thanks for saving me this time, originally I thought of letting you stay in the mountain stronghold, but I also know that you are different from us, so I didn't say it, if one day you really have no way out, the gate of Wotiger Mountain will always be open to you."

  Zhong Er nodded: "Right! Mr. Lin! In my opinion, you'd better stay here! Look at the current situation, where is there a way out for people like us?"

  Wei Wuyou narrowed his eyes and said: "Hmph! You bunch of rough men, how could you understand the ambitions of a swan from the knowledge of a sparrow?"

  Zhong Er's eyes widened in anger: "I'm telling you, Wei Wuyou! Why do you always have to be at odds with me? I was just joking around, and you start putting on your scholarly airs. If I didn't think of you as a bookworm, I would've beaten you to the ground by now."

  Wei Wuyou shook his head: "Alas! I won't bother arguing with a coarse fellow like you, forget it! I'm not going to argue with you anymore, talking to you is exhausting, it's like playing the zither to a cow!"

  Zhong Er was startled and jumped up, Su Yun hurriedly waved her hand: "Er Dang! Don't worry! You all stop arguing! There are still guests here!"

  "Ha ha! Mr. Lin! I'm just a rough guy, don't mind me!"

  Lin Fei smiled slightly: "Zhong Yongxiong is joking! How could I?"

  Su Yun nodded at Wei Wu You, who clapped his hands. Two small servants came in from outside, each holding a plate.

  "Mr. Lin! Just a small token of our appreciation! Please don't decline!"
