Volume 1 Born at the Right Time Chapter 44 Rain Curtain
From last night to the next day, Xiao Jian was born like a big girl in the deep boudoir, the door did not go out of the two doors, did not eat, drink or sleep, sat on the dilapidated bed, a heart immersed in the slave driving Hua Ling double sword, after countless attempts, countless times familiar with the flow of the Hua Ling double sword, Hua Ling double sword can finally run with his mind.
At noon the next day, Xiao Jiansheng was already proficient in operating the Hualing Twin Swords, making small circles around his body.
The next night, Hua Ling was already able to circle around him a few times without stopping, and could even cut the candle out of the gap.
Xiao Jiansheng wiped his sweat, rested for a while, and continued to practice the slave sword until the dead of night, when the moon was bright and the stars were scarce.
Just now, he tried to wield Hua Ling's double sword, and flew out of the guest room through the crack in the door, and as soon as he read it, Hua Ling disappeared into the guest room, following into the dark night sky.
Xiao Jiansheng on the broken bed smiled and was in good spirits.
He could sense that Hua Ling's twin swords had crossed the roof of the guest room, flying into the air, swimming rapidly in the night, like two koi fish frolicking in the deep water, leaving two gorgeous tracks, one black and one red, in the night sky.
Xiao Jiansheng chuckled, and as soon as he thought of it, Hua Ling's double swords turned sharply upward, and he violently followed a few zhang high in the air, rushing out more than ten zhang away, and his thoughts gradually disappeared with Hua Ling, and seemed to be a little exhausted.
Xiao Jian was born under the dim lamp and candle, smiling calmly.
When he thought about the big exam, he didn't even have the qualifications to make the jade shadow move, and it was only a long time before he was able to enslave the dual swords, although it was not worth mentioning compared to Xu Xiangyi's kind of monster who killed people with the invisible sword, but this was only the beginning.
Just when Xiao Jiansheng was immersed in joy, he suddenly felt that the connection between himself and Hua Ling was suddenly interrupted.
Xiao Jiansheng rushed out of the room with his shoes in tow, and the night was empty.
He couldn't sense Hua Ling's existence, and the familiar qi was gone.
The loss of Hua Ling is a trivial matter, but being seen through is a big thing, he remembers that Chen Shenping said when he left, Hua Ling can not be used as much as possible, the implication is that Hua Ling's previous master was too special in his lifetime, and once Hua Ling was exposed to the public, the consequences can be imagined.
Xiao Jiansheng's face was as cold as ice, and he glanced at the low wall without hesitation, and was about to climb up to the roof through the low wall, but just as he was about to rush to the low wall, a gust of wind suddenly blew in front of him, blowing him to the ground from the low wall.
Although the low wall was only one person high, he fell down defenselessly, and it happened to be the buttocks that hit the ground first, the ground was full of pebbles the size of eggs, Xiao Jian grinned in pain, and just wanted to scold the thief God in the dark night sky, but at the moment when he raised his head, looking at the Hualing double sword on the roof with the tip of the sword aimed at him, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and his face changed greatly.
There was a powerful and unfamiliar qi machine lingering on the Hualing double sword, Xiao Jiansheng instantly felt like a great enemy, and he didn't care about the flowering of his hips, he turned over and got up, and his body turned sideways to avoid the tip of Hualing's sword.
However, just as he had this thought, Hua Ling suddenly moved, grabbing his eyes.
In Xiao Jiansheng's eyes, Hua Ling's double swords turned into two embroidery needles, flying at an incredible speed, magnified in his trembling eyes, he didn't even have time to cover the corners of his eyes and close the corners of his eyes, he felt that his eyes were stinging, his eyes were dark, and the whole world was pitch black.
It seemed that a long time had passed, Xiao Jiansheng looked at the Hualing double sword placed in front of him like chopsticks, and his mood was extremely complicated.
He didn't want to scold the thief anymore, he wanted to scold people.
It was clear that someone had played tricks on him just now, and this person's strength made it feel terrifying.
Xiao Jiansheng returned to the guest room, wiped the beads of sweat rolling down, couldn't suppress the trembling of his body, and stared at the flower feather that almost blinded his eyes until the sky lit up slightly.
There were still very few pedestrians on the street, Xiao Jiansheng identified the direction and rushed to Qingma Street with the fastest footsteps, almost walking and running, inquiring about the road conditions several times along the way, and finally came to Qingma Street as Chen Shenping said at noon.
However, the moment he stopped, his heart was completely cold.
Yuzhuo is right, more than a dozen blacksmith shops on Qingma Street are all closed, some of the shops still have a gatekeeper, and they also have a few words of greeting with passing customers, and some simply hang up the iron locks, and the guys who work inside have also moved, where are the horizontal plaques.
Dong Ji blacksmith shop is the same, hanging a rusty iron lock, the ground inside seems to have been a thief, the ground is sprinkled with iron filings and some discarded metal scraps, just when Xiao Jiansheng shook his head and walked down the steps, the owner of a grocery store next door came over and asked, "This young master is looking for Dong Haichuan to shopkeeper?"
Xiao Jiansheng turned around, looked at the old man with his waist bent and nodded with a smile.
The old man sighed and sighed: "Boss Dong was requisitioned by the government a few days ago, and several helpers were also dismissed and returned to their hometown. ”
Xiao Jiansheng knew that the old man was actually lamenting himself, after all, this street belonged to the joint business, blacksmith shop, grocery store, farm tool store...... Which line is missing, the others will also be impacted, but there is no way to do it, the government is recruited, who dares not to obey.
Xiao Jiansheng walked down the steps, and after he stepped four or five steps, he suddenly turned to look at the old man's dim eyes and said, "Old man, dare to ask if there is anyone like me who has inquired about Dong Haichuan's whereabouts recently?"
The old man didn't have to think about it, so he said, "Yes, three days ago a teacher came, and he walked around the door, and the day before yesterday, five or six people came, and he gave me two taels of silver before leaving." ”
The old man smiled and touched the cloth pocket of the oil flower.
Xiao Jiansheng glanced at the old man with a smile, turned around and walked away quickly.
I don't know when it started, the sky was already cloudy, Xiao Jiansheng smelled the smell of rain in the air, and quickened his pace.
In order to be in a hurry, Xiao Jian gave birth to the entrance of Qingma Street, he did not go back to the inn, and walked directly to the direction of Shengping Street, along the road he was fast and slow, looking back from time to time, specially walking in crowded places, walking through the streets and alleys for a full afternoon, seeing that the sky was about to get dark, but there was still a long way to go from the place agreed with Tang Xin.
Raindrops crackled and fell, splashing a white mist on the hard bluestone floor.
Xiao Jiansheng walked forward against the rain, while thinking about whether to go to the appointment again, after all, it was late, it was likely that people could not wait for him to go back, when he walked out of Tieniu Alley, the sky was completely dark, the rain curtain like a dumping became more and more intense, the figures on the street began to sparse and blurred, and occasionally there were pedestrians wearing robes and hats stepping on the water to fold into the nearby mud alley.
Xiao Jiansheng wiped the drops of water from his face, and quickly folded into another street, where the lights of the few shops that opened occasionally were overflowing, and he was the only one moving under the plane tree on the whole street.
According to Xiao Jiansheng's estimate, turning left out of Tieniu Lane is another street intersection of Shengping Street, but Tieniu Lane is not wide, but it is infinitely long, especially under the foil of the plane trees on both sides of the road, it is even longer and endless.
At this moment, Xiao Jiansheng heard a clear sound of horses stepping on water, which reached his ears coolly.
There were five people in front of the road, all covered between the robes and hats, and they could not see their age or gender, and all five of them stood in the pouring rain, and the long knives of the same color and style in their hands were obliquely at the feet of these people, and in the distance there was a horse Jiaojiao, and the white horses stood in the rain curtain and looked very dazzling.
There were also five people behind him, dressed in robes and hats, with a heavy long knife hanging from his waist, and a crossbow arrow in his hand, forcing Xiao Jiansheng step by step.
Xiao Jiansheng looked at the lights and candles of the shops on both sides of the street that were rapidly extinguishing, and his whole body and mind were watered by the rain.
He glanced back at the five people who were less than a hundred feet, sneered, and stood near under a plane tree, without any warning, there was the sound of arrows breaking through the air, and five water lines were drawn in the rain curtain to shoot at Xiao Jiansheng, he almost didn't need to think about a sharp turn and hid behind the tree, and in an instant, the five short arrows all hit the trunk of the tree, making a "buzzing" trembling sound.
In fact, Xiao Jiansheng had already locked the direction the moment the arrow was drawn, so he easily dodged it, and what really gave him a headache was the Ma Jiao in the distance, until now, he couldn't tell who was sitting in Ma Jiao, he didn't use any gas to leak out, and it was tightly covered, and it was just a huge silhouette in the rain curtain.
