Akang immediately turned around, protected Xiao Nian behind him, and shouted:

"Who is it!"

"Huh..." What responded to him was a cloud of smoke as thick as substance.

Akang Xiaonian quickly retreated and covered his mouth and nose, for fear that the smoke contained some vicious means.

But as the smoke drifted by, there was nothing strange at all.

The smoke cleared, and the figure of an old man emerged. His tobacco pipe was as thick as a child's arm and made a squeaking sound.

Isn't this the old man who told us the story before? Akang Xiaonian said in his heart at the same time, and his suspenseful heart was relieved.

The old man raised his chin:

"Young man, we meet again. What are you doing here?"

Akang cupped his hands and said:

"The elders asked me to bring the body over, but when I arrived, I didn't see Mr. Wu who handed over the body, so he moved it in first."

The old man slapped his head:

"I received news that Langde Village, acting for the Miao King, sent someone to transport the corpse to my place. I didn't expect it to be you?"

"So, old man, you are Old Man Wu." Akang understood immediately and then said:

"Why haven't I seen you before?"

Old man Wu pointed towards the back of the room:

"Hey, I went to move into a hut, but I didn't know you were so nimble with your hands and feet. You've already moved it for me. Thank you very much, young man."

It turned out that he was behind the room, so it was a false alarm. Akang felt relieved and then clasped his fists:

"Old man Wu, you're welcome... Xiaonian and I will go ahead, so I won't disturb you."

Then he pulled Xiao Nian and turned around to leave, but before he walked out of the door, he heard Old Man Wu calling:

"Hey, young man, please cover the white cloth around your feet for me."

Akang lowered his head and saw a piece of white cloth appearing at his feet. He turned around and saw that a body was exposed.

"Okay." He smiled and then covered the white cloth back. But when he saw the remains of the deceased, his expression changed slightly and he couldn't help but sigh:

"What a ruthless attack. This Central Plains bandit really has some skills!"

This deceased person was A Yuan who was killed outside Liu Lingwei's room by Sheng Yujin.

"What?" Xiaonian heard this and came over curiously.

Akang's face was solemn, but he didn't pay attention to Xiao Nian's words. Instead, he said to Old Man Wu:

"Old man, can I take a look at these corpses?"

Old man Wu nodded.

Akang had quick eyesight and quick hands, and he pulled up all the white cloths in an instant. He looked at the bodies one by one, but mostly passed them by.

Finally, he stopped in front of the bodies of A Yuan and the other four people. His eyes were serious, he murmured to himself, and he even couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch the scars.

Old Man Wu watched from a distance, but did not stop him. Instead, he took another puff of dry cigarette with interest and squinted his eyes to study his expression.

"Akang, what's wrong with you, Akang..." Xiaonian saw that he became distracted in an instant and couldn't even hear her own words. She couldn't help being a little scared, so she walked closer and poked Akang on the shoulder.

"Ah!" Akang suddenly lost his voice as if he had just been woken up. He looked at Xiao Nian and said blankly:

"Xiao, Xiao Nian? What's wrong?"

Xiao Nian said angrily:

"Are you stupid? Look at your devastated look. You ignored me even after I called you several times."

Mentioning this, Akang couldn't help but shake his head:

"It's amazing, but why..."

"You're awesome!" Xiaonian stretched out her hand and hit him on the head:

"Why? Look at what you said. It's so confusing that the first words don't match the last words."

Akang rubbed his head and pointed at the four corpses:

"Ouch, don't hit me, listen to me... I mean, the people who killed them are very powerful in martial arts. Look -"

Akang leaned down and flipped it gently while saying:

"Look at the fatal wound on this corpse. It was a knife that pierced the throat, and it seemed to be... a Yanling knife. However, in fact, before he was stabbed in the throat, his facial bones had been broken, and...

It was crushed alive with your hands!”

Xiao Nian covered her mouth:

"Crush the facial bones with your hands! Oh my god, what a brute force."

Akang nodded silently and turned over the other corpses:

"This one was cut in half with a long and slender knife, split in two cleanly; this one died the most brutally, with his knees facing the door and his chest shattered by an elbow; the last one, look at his expression, it was obvious that he had been killed before he died.

He didn't expect that the enemy would dare to take action against him. Looking at his slightly shrugged shoulders and raised neck, he was attacked in the crowd. The slender knife was nailed through his chest, and then he was trampled to death. The one who took action

People have no scruples at all..."

When Xiao Nian heard this, she couldn't help but hold A Kang's arm and whispered:

"What a ferocious Central Plains bandit, and his martial arts skills are so strong. If we don't get rid of him, I don't know how many bad things he will do..."

Akang frowned:

"But I have never figured out one thing - why these four people were severely injured on the face and their bones were shattered, but their faces were intact?"

Xiao Nian doesn't know martial arts, so naturally he can't answer.

Old man Wu on the side interrupted:

"I heard that the people from the Central Plains practice internal strength. When they hit people, the enemy seems to be fine on the surface, but there are internal injuries inside. Could it be that the people from the Central Plains are also very good at internal strength?"

"Absolutely impossible." Akang shook his head decisively:

"His internal strength is good, but to achieve this level, he is far from being able to..."

Old man Wu laughed and stopped talking, but Xiao Nian said doubtfully:

"Akang, why are you so sure?"

Akang pointed to the four corpses:

"Look, the depth of the wound, the amount of bleeding, the accuracy... these things may seem inconspicuous, but they are very knowledgeable. From these things, I can analyze the person's skill level and knife-wielding habits.

Eyesight and hand strength..."

Xiao Nian heard what he said so clearly and said in admiration:

"Wow, Akang, you are so awesome."

Hearing his sweetheart praising him, Akang couldn't help but feel happy, but then he shook his head:

"It's nothing to me. If you are a real expert, you can even judge the origin of this person's martial arts and the sect he has learned from... Compare martial arts to writing, then the wounds on the opponent's body are everyone's handwriting, everyone has his own

Characteristics that others cannot imitate."

Xiao Nian nodded in understanding, while Old Man Wu walked up and covered him with a white cloth. He turned to Akang and said:

"Young man, you are gibbering and saying things that my old man can't understand... but it sounds like that. You have done something good."

"Um?"

"Of course. Wouldn't it be excellent information if you tell everyone about the murderer's martial arts skills?"

"That's it, I'll go find the great elders right now." Akang suddenly realized, and Xiao Nian was also very happy for him. The two of them thanked Old Man Wu and hurried away.

Looking at their backs, Old Man Wu put the cigarette rod back into his bag and walked into the inner room.

On the bed, an old man with a gray beard lay quietly, as if his acupuncture points had been tapped. He walked over and patted the old man's back:

"Brother Wu, I'm offended. After this incident, if I am still alive, I will apologize to you..."

He sat down along the edge of the bed and wanted to say something more, but suddenly his ears twitched and he closed his mouth.

His expression suddenly changed, and then he looked toward the southwest mountain.

Mr. Jiang, we’ve already started fighting here, why haven’t you come out yet?

The next moment, his figure had disappeared.

…………

Akang Xiaonian got the reminder from "Old Uncle Wu" and came to the elders' meeting place excitedly. As soon as Akang entered the door, he shouted:

"Dear elders, I have made a new discovery..."

But halfway through, he stopped talking.

Why are the elders crowded at the door?
