Chapter Seventy-Five: The Shadow Challenge
This scene is shocking, you know, the black bear is famous for his hard qigong, ordinary people can't cut his body with a knife, but now a dart in the air actually penetrated the black bear's body and killed him in one fell swoop. This shows how powerful the person who shot is!
In an instant, everyone's nerve strings tightened, and a sense of vigilance suddenly arose.
"All ready for battle!" Someone immediately called out.
Immediately, all the people in the streets were solemn and cautious, and those who had weapons among them drew their weapons and prepared to attack at any moment.
The atmosphere of the scene suddenly became extremely thick, tense and suffocating.
And Wu Baisui, he is different from others, he does not have a cup bow and snake shadow, and he does not have the slightest nervousness, because he saw where the dart came from, and he also knew that the person had left. Obviously, the other side has no intention of going to war now.
When the audience was ready to start, Wu Baisui silently stepped forward and walked to the entrance of the street in front, and at a distance from the black bear's corpse, Wu Baisui stopped, he bent down and picked up the bloody dart that fell to the ground.
Wu Baisui wiped the blood stains with his hands, and saw that a line of small characters was engraved on the dart body: See you on Baiyun Mountain at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.
The dart is also engraved with a Shadow's exclusive emblem.
Every time the Shadow kills someone, he will leave a sign, he never hides it, he just wants others to know that this person died at his hands, and the name of the Shadow is also like this.
Wu Baisui could feel that this sentence on the dart was a shadow aimed at him, and the shadow was challenging him.
"You idiot, what are you looking at?" Qi Tai suddenly came over and snatched the dart from Wu Baisui's hand.
He spotted the small print on it at a glance, and he immediately shouted, "Look, everyone, the Shadow has challenged us. ”
Qi Tai naturally didn't know the relationship between Wu Baisui and the Shadow, in his opinion, the Shadow was declaring war on everyone here.
Suddenly, all the people on the street took off their guard and hurriedly gathered around this side.
"It's a sign of the Shadow, isn't it?"
"That's right, shadow killings will leave this mark, and this word must have been engraved by him."
"The Shadow is asking us to go to Baiyun Mountain for a decisive battle?"
"yes, damn it, do you want us to wait until tomorrow morning, do you want us to spend the night here?"
In the crowd, the chatter kept ringing.
The silent night became noisy.
The dark night set the challenge time at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, which naturally caused many people to be dissatisfied, not to mention that there was a problem with accommodation tonight, everyone came from other places, if they rushed back overnight, they would have to come early tomorrow morning, which was obviously very troublesome.
However, Baiyun Ancient Town is now closed again, and hotels are basically closed, mainly because the total number of people on the scene adds up to thousands of people, and it is really difficult for so many people to eat and spend the night here.
Just when everyone was complaining, suddenly, a rickshaw was pulled to the entrance of the street.
As soon as the rickshaw stopped, a young man in his sixties stepped out of the car.
This little old man, whether it is dressed or the overall temperament, is a little extraordinary, he is like a literati and ink artist who came out of the ancient society, as soon as he appeared, he attracted the attention of everyone present.
In the eyes of the audience, the little old man took a few steps forward, faced everyone, and shouted loudly: "Hello everyone, I am Du Deming, the housekeeper of the Ouyang family, our Ouyang family has prepared wine and food, and has also specially prepared several hotels to entertain you." ”
The Ouyang family, that is an ancient family with deep roots, they have always been the top three existences in Jiangdong Province, and their status has never wavered.
Many people who came to Baiyun Ancient Town this time were ready to visit the Ouyang family by the way, but they didn't expect that the old housekeeper of the Ouyang family would come over to invite everyone to the door in person, which was a great honor for many people!
It's just that this surprise came too suddenly, and some people couldn't accept it all of a sudden, and there was a person in the crowd who didn't know much about the Ouyang family, so he couldn't help but open his mouth and ask Du Deming: "Steward Du, may I ask why your Ouyang family wants to entertain us?" ”
Du Deming replied in an orderly manner: "Everyone is responsible for eliminating violence and peace, and it is incumbent on our Ouyang family to deal with the shadows, since everyone is a fellow believer, our Ouyang family should do our best to be a good landlord." ”
This explanation is very decent and reasonable, and it also convinces everyone, after all, Baiyun Ancient Town is the territory of the Ouyang family, and the shadow openly appeared in Baiyun Ancient Town, which made the people of Baiyun Ancient Town panic, and even he killed people in the town, which completely provoked the majesty of the Ouyang family, and it is no wonder that the Ouyang family will stand up and crusade against the dark shadow together with the heroes of all parties on the scene.
"Since that's the case, then I'll thank the Ouyang family for their kindness first." The person who spoke, named Lu Wenshan, was the underground boss of Yunzhou City.
Baiyun Ancient Town is a town in Yunzhou City, so Lu Wenshan and the Ouyang family can be regarded as having a little friendship, so he was the first to stand up and accept the kindness of the Ouyang family.
Seeing that Lu Wenshan agreed, the other bigwigs also accepted the invitation of the Ouyang family.
Du Deming did not hesitate, and seeing that everyone agreed, he immediately set off and personally led everyone towards the Ouyang family's mansion.
"Mr. Wu, will you come with us?" When Feng Shengli left, he didn't forget to ask Wu Baisui.
"Lao Feng, what do you think is the place of Ouyang's house, and the gate of his house can be entered by anyone? We can go in, it's already enough to save face, and you still want to take a fool with you? Qi Tai saw Feng Shengli inviting Wu Baisui and immediately shouted dissatisfied.
Feng Shengli said very seriously: "Mr. Wu, he has this qualification. ”
Qi Tai retorted: "Whether you are qualified or not, it's not up to you to have the final say, do you think this is in Xiyuan?" ”
Feng Shengli was about to speak again, but Wu Baisui suddenly said: "I'm not going, you can go!" ”
Wu Baisui didn't want to unite with anyone, for him, the people here are dispensable, and he also understands in his heart that the shadow has been silent for many years, and today he is suddenly willing to appear, maybe it has something to do with his killing of the Night Sword.
It was a contest between him and the Shadow.
Feng Shengli knew that Wu Baisui was a person who didn't like to join in the fun, and when he saw Wu Baisui refusing, he didn't force it too much, he nodded and said, "Then goodbye Mr. Wu." After saying hello, Feng Shengli left.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and even the corpse of the black bear was carried away by his disciples, and the crowded streets became empty again.
In the end, Wu Baisui was the only one left, standing alone on the empty street, blending into the gloomy night.
"Uncle, let's go to my house for dinner, I persuaded my brother, he has promised to let you come to live." Tang Ying suddenly appeared, ran to Wu Baisui, and said very sincerely to Wu Baisui.
Tang Ying's warm-heartedness is really rare in the world, Wu Baisui has always felt her sincerity from the first time he saw this little girl to the present, if he can, Wu Baisui is unwilling to doubt Tang Ying and her brother. However, many things feel like they are related to the Tang family, and Wu Baisui has to keep an eye on it. He looked at Tang Ying, hesitated for two seconds, and finally spoke, "Okay." ”
The shadow will only appear tomorrow morning, and it is not a matter for Wu Baisui to wait here all the time, and when he goes to the Tang family, he can still get to know the Tang family brothers and sisters more deeply.
Tang Ying saw that Wu Baisui finally agreed, and she immediately happily took Wu Baisui home.
Tang Rui had already prepared a few home-cooked side dishes, and after Wu Baisui came, he also said to Wu Baisui: "If my sister hadn't been begging me, I wouldn't have agreed to let you live in my house, but you can only stay for one night at most." ”
Tang Ying answered: "Brother, everyone is here, don't say such things." ”
Saying that, Tang Ying said warmly to Wu Baisui: "Sit down and eat, you're welcome." ”
Wu Baisui was indeed not polite, and sat down directly at the dining table.
Tang Ying and Tang Rui, brother and sister, also sat down together. After sitting down, they picked up their chopsticks and began to eat.
But Wu Baisui didn't move his chopsticks for a long time, and Tang Ying couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Why don't you eat it?" ”
Tang Rui frowned, stared at Wu Baisui, and said, "You won't be afraid that my dish is poisonous, right?" ”
Wu Baisui knows that Tang Ying has always been good to him, and Tang Rui has always rejected himself, the two brothers and sisters have a very clear attitude towards themselves, it seems that they are all people with true temperament, and they will not hide any emotions, it seems that there is nothing suspicious about the two. However, Wu Baisui is still on guard.
However, he is not afraid of poisoning the food, his current state is not weak, even if he is poisoned, he is sure to force it out quickly, so after Tang Rui finished speaking, Wu Baisui silently picked up the chopsticks and ate them.
After the meal, Tang Rui put away the dishes and chopsticks and started the work of brushing pots and washing dishes in the kitchen.
Don't look at Tang Rui as a big man, but he does these things handily and very experienced, it seems that he is a very qualified family cook, no matter how big or small the family is, he does everything perfectly, he will not let Tang Ying do anything at all, Tang Ying is like a big lady who is served by him.
"Uncle, your wound is bandaged like this, it is easy to be infected, I have medicine at home, I will help you apply the medicine and re-bandage it!" Tang Ying saw that there was blood oozing from Wu Baisui's wound bandage, and couldn't help but propose.
Wu Baisui looked at his wound and nodded.
Tang Ying immediately took Wu Baisui and went to her room.
Tang Ying's boudoir is not big, but it is exquisitely furnished, full of strong girlish style.
As soon as she came in, Tang Ying quickly took out the medicine box, and then said to Wu Baisui, "You sit down." ”
Wu Baisui sat on the stool very obediently, and Tang Ying was like a little nurse, gently picked up Wu Baisui's clothes, and then opened Wu Baisui's casually bandaged wound, and then she used a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to do a simple disinfection of Wu Baisui's wound.
"Does it hurt?" Tang Ying was afraid that she would hurt Wu Baisui, and the movements of her hands were very gentle.
Wu Baisui replied expressionlessly: "It doesn't hurt." ”
Alcohol treatment of wounds is actually very irritating, but this pain is not worth mentioning for Wu Baisui.
A moment of silence followed.
Tang Ying wiped the wound silently, and when she wiped the blood stains from the wound, she found that the wound was very deep and terrifying, her heart couldn't help but chuckle, and she said in disbelief: "Uncle, why are you injured like this?" ”
"I went to the abandoned factory you mentioned, and someone set a trap there to wait for me in advance, and I was injured by a sneak attack." When he said this, Wu Baisui's eyes were firmly fixed on Tang Ying.
