CHAPTER 40 - Chapter 40 The People Of The City Are Grateful

Chen Zhou was walking down the street carrying two bodies, and Lin Yujing was following behind him.


The footsteps of the two were quite clear in the quiet street.


First, the Black Tiger Gang had gone on a large-scale patrol, and then a monster broke into the county town. The common people had already been so scared that they hid in their homes and refused to go out.


Therefore, the streets were deserted at this moment.


But slowly, things around them began to change.


At first, only a few curious and cautious glances and some murmurs were heard from behind the doors and windows of the houses on both sides.


In a short while, several people bravely walked out of their homes. They looked at Chen Zhou in the middle of the street and the two corpses in his hands, their faces dull and dazed.


Then, more and more people walked onto the street, each of them staring at Chen Zhou with shock and disbelief in their eyes.


The whole street remained quiet until someone suddenly shouted:


"Zhao Shuanghe is dead, Zhao Shuanghe is dead! Everyone, come out and see!"


As soon as these words were spoken, the whole street suddenly became lively and bustling, and this liveliness quickly spread throughout the entire city.


As if inspired by something, more and more people came out of their homes.


They formed a huge crowd and gathered toward Chen Zhou.


There were old people with crutches, young and strong men, women holding children... The originally deserted street became extremely crowded in the blink of an eye.


They gathered around Chen Zhou but left enough space between them. They talked loudly as they walked:


"It's Zhao Shuanghe, it's really Zhao Shuanghe!"


"He's dead, killed by Young Master Chen!"


"Why call him Young Hero? You should call him Chen Yingxiong!"


"That's right, Chen Yingxiong!"


"It was the cat demon that ate people before, and the cat demon was also killed by Chen Yingxiong. I saw it with my own eyes!"


"So was the leader of the Black Tiger Gang!"


"Hero Chen is our savior!"


......


More and more people joined the parade, and for a time, the entire Changqing City was empty.


All the people in the city, regardless of age or gender, followed Chen Zhou and came to Caishikou.


Chen Zhou said nothing from beginning to end. He casually threw the bodies of Zhao Shuanghe and his son at the street corner and turned away.


As Chen Zhou left, the surrounding common people immediately rushed forward!


At this moment, they could no longer suppress their inner anger. Everyone was roaring and crying. Countless hands and mouths rushed to tear and bite the bodies of Zhao Shuanghe and his son!


Somewhere outside this group of ordinary people, Jiang Su'e and Wu Haisheng were hugging each other tightly and crying.


Not far from them, an old beggar was holding the corpse of his grandson, tears welling up in his eyes:


"Gou Wa'er, did you hear that? Chen Yingxiong has avenged you. You can leave now with peace of mind!"


......


All of this left Lin Yujing, who was far away, stunned.


At this moment, Lin Yujing understood what Chen Zhou had said before, understood why Chen Zhou wanted to leave Zhao Shuanghe's body intact, and understood who Chen Zhou wanted to leave the opportunity to.


"Chen Zhou, is this also part of your plan?"


Lin Yujing came to Chen Zhou and asked in a low voice. The excited expression on her face was difficult to calm down for a while.


"That's about right..." Chen Zhou nodded.


In his original expectation, the common people would definitely severely whip the corpses of Zhao Shuanghe and his son.


But he still didn't expect it to go this far.


This was like wanting to eat his flesh alive, drink his blood, pull out his tendons, grind his bones, and scatter them into ashes!


But thinking about the one thousand good deeds points Zhao Shuanghe revealed, it seemed to be enough to explain everything.


This damn world, life is not worth living...


A revenge operation of whipping corpses started quickly and ended quickly.


Soon, Zhao Shuanghe and his son were wiped out by the people.


Not even a hair was left at the scene of the body disposal, which could be regarded as a true destruction of the body.


After finishing all that, the people did not leave.


The huge crowd, led by a respected old man, came to Chen Zhou.


The old man bowed to Chen Zhou first, then fell to his knees with a plop, and said with tears in his eyes:


"Hero Chen, the people of this city are grateful to you forever!"


"Thank you so much!" Countless people echoed the old man's words and knelt down.


At first glance, there was only a sea of ​​heads.


Lin Yujing, who was standing next to Chen Zhou, had a complicated expression, and she also looked at Chen Zhou with respect and gratitude.


Chen Zhou took a deep breath. He did all this just to settle a personal grudge, but in the end, he unexpectedly became a great hero.


How should I put it, this feeling... is pretty good.


At this moment, the "Record of Merits" in Chen Zhou's mind burst into golden light, and the words were written on its pages again in a flamboyant style:


[Your reputation has reached the second stage: a little famous]


[Get a legendary reward: You can upgrade one of your martial arts talents]
