Bab 52: Chapter 52: Back of the Neck

Zou Weichang, following the location Xu Huo had given him, accurately found a leopard skin. After feeling it for a half moment, he muttered a curse under his breath, then turned towards another piece of rhinoceros skin. Similarly stroking it for a while, he suddenly tore the skin off and furiously threw it on the ground.

"Damn thing!" he cursed viciously as he barged into the Skinning Artisan's bedroom!

As the bedroom door swung open and closed, Peng Fengnian, who was crouched against the wall, inwardly cursed "idiot," while his peripheral vision stayed fixed on the Skinning Artisan just leaving the warehouse.

The Skinning Artisan was holding a candle in one hand and a rusty, thick iron chain in the other, casually tossing the chain onto a crossbeam. After hanging it up, he tested its height and then lit an alcohol lamp beneath it.
