Chapter 50 The Bloody Case of Hot Spring Station (2)
"Although there was moonlight that night,... I still couldn't see it clearly. Besides, the first time I experienced such a terrible scene, I was panicked and I couldn't pay attention to it..." Xue Chang swallowed: "At that time, I heard my father roar, 'Which friend on the road wants to rob my Jincheng Escort Bureau, Sichuan West Sword Xue Hai and the angrily King Kong Fang beating the escort?! Please stop immediately, otherwise our Jincheng Escort Bureau will never stop with you!"
But not only did the black men stop, they came to us instead. They were a lot of people, and the escorts who followed their father out of the post station were quickly dispersed. The man in black who was fighting with me was holding a knife, and his moves were very fierce... I fought with him for less than ten moves, and I couldn't resist it-"
"Wait a minute." Tang Fangzhi asked in a deep voice: "What does the man in black who fought with you look like? Have you seen it clearly?"
Xue Chang shook his head: "The man had a black cloth on his face, and only two eyes were exposed, and he couldn't tell what he looked like... Oh, those black people seemed to be covered in black cloth."
Tang Fangzhi felt slightly disappointed, but he immediately asked again: "What kind of knife was that man using? Do you still remember his move to use the knife?"
"It seems..." Xue Chang roughly gestured to the knife.
Tang Fangzhi's heart moved and looked at Jiang Shijia.
Jiang Shijia shouted: "Go to the arsenal to get a military single sword."
After a while, Zhao Chen rushed to the lobby with a single knife.
"Look at it, is it such a knife?" Tang Fangzhi signaled Zhao Chen to give it to Xue Chang.
Xue Chang took it, looked carefully, and said hesitantly: "There are some similarities, but they seem to be a little different. I can't tell it clearly... At that time, the man in black attacked and slashed hard as soon as he came up, and I didn't have time to take a closer look."
"Then can you show us a little bit about the man in black's sword move?" Tang Fangzhi made another request.
"Let me give it a try." Xue Chang held the knife and stood up. While recalling the scene at that time, he moved his hands and feet. His right hand quickly swung the single knife. The knife was like a light butterfly, hovering around his arm, and soon hidden his arm in a silver light.
After being taught by Geng Po at the Jinya Rice Shop, Xue Chang would practice this exercise with a knife before cutting vegetables every day, mainly to make his fingers and muscles familiar with the weight and characteristics of the knife, so that he would be more flexible and fast when cutting vegetables. So as soon as he held the knife, he would subconsciously make it come out, but Huiming, who was sitting in front, lit up his eyes.
"I remember the man in black probably used the knife like this... and then... and then... well, it wasn't right, it should be chopping to the left... and then..." Xue Chang gestded with the knife for a while, and then said embarrassedly: "There are probably all I can remember, and it's not necessarily accurate."
Tang Fangzhi and Jiang Shijia, Lu Changcai, Master Jingyu, Huiming looked at each other silently for a few moments before nodding and said, "Thank you for your hard work, please sit down and continue your previous story."
"At that time, I could no longer resist the attack of the man in black. Then he slashed hard and actually cut off the knife in my hand..." Xue Chang said with lingering fear: "I felt that it was over now, but I didn't expect that my father and Uncle Fang arrived in time, blocked the attack of the man in black and asked me to run away..."
Xue Chang said with a blank expression: "I was really scared at that time. I turned around and ran away without thinking, but I didn't expect that I could not escape at all. There were people in black intercepted me at both ends of the plank road. I turned around and saw my father... being cut down. I felt even more panicked. When those people in black waved their swords to attack me, I simply jumped off the plank road..." Xue Chang closed his eyes and shook his head, as if he wanted to shake off the horror scene of falling from the cliff at a high place in his mind.
There was silence in the lobby, and there was no surprise on everyone's faces. When they learned that Xue Chang was still alive, they had such speculation.
"I didn't know anything after that..." Xue Chang murmured: "When I had some consciousness and memories, I only vaguely remembered that I was in a dilapidated temple in Longmen Town, Mianzhou City, and was taken care of by a little beggar. I made a living by begging. I was so confused... I don't know how long it took.
One day I suffered from a cold wind and had a high fever for several days, which scared the beggars in the dilapidated temple. They wanted to throw me out of the dilapidated temple. The little beggar couldn't bear to abandon me, so he kindly took me to a mountain temple in a nearby village. He heard that I had a high fever that night and fell into a coma, which scared him. But the next morning, I woke up and found that the high fever had subsided, my mind was very clear, and I remembered the past-"
"Amitabha!" Master Jingyu recited the Buddha's name lightly, his face full of pity.
Huiming also put his palms together and lowered his head and muttered something silently.
Tang Fangzhi still looked solemn: "We went to Wenquan Station to investigate. Outside the plank road there is a Baizhang Cliff. The cliff is steep, the river water is turbulent under the cliff, and there are rocks. We also sent people to pull the rope down to investigate and found many corpses of Jincheng Escort Bureau personnel. According to the list provided by Liu Fu of Jincheng Escort Bureau, the bodies of all the corpses of all the corpses were found near Wenquan Station, except for you. You are really lucky to be able to escape that fierce place, and it seems that they are not injured."
Xue Chang heard the suspicion in his words and sneered: "Not hurt at all? You just can't see it."
As he said that, he lowered his head slightly, reached out and pushed away the thick hair on the back of his head.
Huiming walked over regardless of his identity. He suddenly saw a very obvious pit on his head after learning to sing, half the size of a peach. Even though he was knowledgeable, he couldn't help but feel it in his heart. He reached out and touched the pit lightly and asked softly: "Is there any pain?"
Xue Changzhan smiled: "Uncle Master, it's okay, it's already done."
Xue Chang is telling the truth. The marrow-cleaning bone elixir has continuously cured his brain disease and repaired the cracks in the brain bones.
Huiming gently pressed Xue Chang's shoulder, looked at Tang Fangzhi, and said with a serious expression: "It is the blessing of the Buddha that he can survive such a serious injury. What else can Elder Tang doubt?"
Tang Fangzhi did not respond immediately, walked forward and wanted to see it carefully with his own eyes.
Zhao Chen followed closely behind and wanted to see the fun.
After careful examination, Tang Fangzhi returned to his seat silently and asked again quietly: "Do you still remember when your illness was cured and your consciousness was restored?"
“It should be in September.”
"Oh, September is nearly three months away. Logically, you should have returned to Chengdu long ago?"
"Senior Tang, I saw with my own eyes that my father, uncle died under the knife of the criminal to cover me, and those friends who were with me day and night were killed one by one... I... not only could not do anything, but also ran away..." Xue Chang looked guilty and said with a choking look: "I really have no face to go back to Chengdu... to face the other people in the Jincheng Escort Bureau..."
"Child, this is not your fault. Your ability to escape is the greatest comfort to your father who is in the dark!" Master Jingyu comforted softly.
"Why did you figure it out and return to Chengdu later?" Tang Fangzhi asked solemnly.
"This is because someone took care of me and helped me again."
"Who is this person?"
"The owner of Jinya Restaurant in Longmen Town - Geng Po."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the lobby was shocked.
Huiming couldn't help but ask first: "Nephew Xue, how could you know him?"
Xue Chang saw the expressions of everyone and said calmly: "I know Geng Po and I have to thank Young Master Guo Youxin of the Qingcheng Sect."
Lu Changcai, who had not spoken, asked in surprise: "What does this have to do with Mr. Guo?"
Xue Chang took the opportunity to catch the conflict caused by him and Guo Youxin on the official road, and to see Tang Fangzhuo entering the Jin family restaurant in Longmen Town, attracting his attention, and thus rescued Geng Po's goddaughter. Finally, Geng Po's recognition and stayed in the restaurant for a long time, a brief statement was made.
"Youren, go and call your two junior brothers!" The smile on Lu Changcai's face disappeared, and he said with a stern face.
"Yes, uncle." Gai Youren didn't dare to disobey and got up and prepared to go to the backyard.
"Please call my disciple together." Master Jingyu also had a thin layer of anger on his face.
