Chapter 10: The Mysterious Man in Black
That day, he was bullied by a group of villains, and the appearance of being bruised was seen by Xiao Tao, she was angry but there was no way, Xun Langzhong was driven out because he had no money, so he had to pick some medicinal herbs by himself, he was lying in the grass, a pair of eyes half-open and half-closed, and watched her go away in a haze, her back was full of loneliness and loneliness, but against the light, it looked a little more stubborn. He never saw her again, she never came back, he searched the whole town, and there was no trace of her, and he began to dream, such strange dreams, she came back with herbs, with a wound and a smile, dressing him, feeding him, and then she disappeared, little by little, from the dream, from the present and the future. Lin Chuan's tears slid down his face, and he choked up several times, but he held back.
I don't know when, a bottle of wine was placed at his feet, a high-quality wine, a quaint wine jar, Lin Chuan only glanced at it and saw the dark shadow around him. Lin Chuan wiped his eyes busily, there was a man in black beside him, his clothes were very pure, as if they were made of a very precious material, and the cuffs were embroidered with a flower with golden silk thread, delicate but terrifying, the flower climbed to the wrist, stretching out the petals to suck blood, it can be seen that this is an extremely skilled embroiderer rusty, with such clothes, not only the status of the noble, I am afraid it is not good. The whole of the clothes blends in with the night. His face and neck were also covered by a huge cloak, and a black mask covered his face, which was black and fitted perfectly with the face, as if it had been tailor-made.
Lin Chuan hurriedly wiped his tears, but looking at it like this, even if he had tears, he shouldn't be able to see them. Of course he knew he was crying, he had seen him cry for a long time.
"Who are you?" Lin Chuan asked timidly.
"Is it such a clichΓ© greeting? I'm your old friend! The man in black opened his mouth in Chapter 8, but it was a female voice.
"You're so tightly covered, even if it's an old friend, I can't recognize it!" Lin Chuan quickly recovered from his grief, trying to figure out what was going on. Just...... It's obviously a little peach...... She called me. Now, there is such a person again, with a rough and wild voice, and you can vaguely hear that it is a girl. "Is it because you're too ugly to see people? I don't mind! β
"You don't need to know who I am." The voice was cold, and it didn't seem to be touched by Lin Chuan's words.
"I'd like to know." Lin Chuan's face instantly showed a fierce color, and one hand grabbed the other party's face. Since the second senior brother's trick didn't work, let's go hard!
"Hand over the peach!" Lin Chuan roared angrily, this was a rare time when he didn't control his emotions well, and everything was just because, Xiao Tao.
The man in black flipped his palm, crossed his straight outstretched hand, and choked his neck at once, and the other hand restrained his hand, the movement was so fast that it was trance-like. Sure enough, the world's martial arts are only fast and unbreakable.
Lin Chuan was stunned...... After being stunned for a long time, no wonder he was stunned, this situation is that everyone will be stunned, not to mention that Lin Chuan thinks that his kung fu is already above many people. Now, seeing her, I feel that I really need to retreat and cultivate for a few more years before I can rescue Xiao Tao. He didn't struggle, in fact, struggling was of no use at all, her strength was far above Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan took a short time to sort out his thoughts, although he didn't know what her intentions were, but he tempted him with Xiao Tao's voice and gave him his favorite wine, which was enough to show that the other party had clearly known his details, and the enemy was in the dark. But judging from these few times, the other party has not done anything to himself at all, indicating that the other party has no intention of harming him, at least until the goal is achieved, his personal safety can still be guaranteed, and as for assassination after using it, it is another matter. Knowing this, Lin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who are you, I don't care, I just want to know where the little peach is." Lin Chuan's tone was much calmer.
"I know her." The man in black said, still cold.
"What do you need me to do?" Lin Chuan's voice was also cold and eager, he undoubtedly wanted to use the other party to rescue Xiao Tao, no, he was willing to be used by the other party, as long as he could rescue Xiao Tao, even if he let him die, he was willing. He didn't even ask the other party, he didn't doubt whether the other party really knew Xiao Tao, it wasn't that he had lost his judgment, but there was a feeling in the dark that pulled him, and Xiao Tao was nearby.
"She's fine now." The man in black said that he gave Lin Chuan a reassurance. "But I don't know if it's good or not in the future."
Of course, Lin Chuan knew the deep meaning of these words, but even if he couldn't see her, he wanted her to be safe, even if he died for her, he wanted her to be happy.
"Just say what you want me to do!"
"It's not a big deal." It's not a big deal, it's a huge thing. "You just need to get close to Bai Qingyan, and I'll talk about it next time."
"Okay." Lin Chuan agreed without hesitation.
"You're not deep enough." The man in black said, taking out a small bottle from his sleeve as he spoke, Lin Chuan guessed that it was a medicine bottle, which might contain some kind of poison, similar to a medicine that can control others.
That's really medicine, but it's not poison. The man in black put the medicine into Lin Chuan's white palm.
"Take one tablet a month."
Lin Chuan opened it and found that there were only three in it, does this mean that she will come over again in three months? Lin Chuan made a bold guess.
"This medicine is precious, and taking it can strengthen the body and keep your strength improving. Always take it on time at the full moon of each month. β
"Yes." Lin Chuan closed the seal of the medicine, hid the medicine in his sleeve, turned his head, and found that the man in black had disappeared into the night sky, the night was still black, everything, like a dream. Lin Chuan returned to the room lightly, and Chu Li, Chu Zhong and Jiang Ci slept soundly.
Lin Chuan didn't close his eyes all night, and the next day, the three of them opened their eyes and saw Lin Chuan standing in front of the window, watching the morning glow reflect half of the sky. Breakfast was already on the table, and several people happily praised Lin Chuan, and they couldn't wait to hold him around a few times. Lin Chuan smiled and didn't speak, and the sadness in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
Qingyan and Qianxi also got up, probably too excited, and saw that the breakfast on the table had been set, and their hearts were filled with joy. Hurriedly asked Si Yu.
"I just got up, do you think I'm such a diligent person?" Several people looked at each other and smiled, but it was not clear who bought the breakfast, no matter what, let's eat it first.
After breakfast, everyone was worried about where to go around, so they simply went to the boys' bedrooms of the senior brothers to figure out a way together.
"Why don't you just go to the streets, everyone is not familiar with this place anyway." In the end, the conclusion was the result of unanimous consultation, although it was still somewhat hasty.
The street is still quite lively, selling rouge, selling jewelry, selling all kinds of gadgets, a dazzling array of shops on all kinds of shops, for Qingyan them, although these are interesting, but not interesting, rouge jewelry has long been erased from their lives. Love beauty is nature, but it is covered by the competitive martial spirit in the bones. So when everyone saw all kinds of weapons selling knives, guns, swords, halberds on the other side, they were instantly interested, and they hurriedly ran over to take a look.
"I like this sword the most, it's thin and hard, slender and sharp." The sword in Qing Yan's hand is narrow, and there is a sky-blue tassel hanging on the scabbard, and there are very few tassels in this color, which can't help but make people's eyes shine.
"yes, I like it too, it looks light and agile." Qianxi also came over, fiddling with the sky-blue tassels. "This tassel is so beautiful!"
"It's small, but it's not easy to make! I still like a spear like this, or a broad knife. Si Yu held a spear in his hand and gestured, which reminded people of the female general who straddled the war horse on the battlefield and fought wantonly. She said that one day she would gallop on the field, whether she wanted it or not.
The other men wandered around, not seeing their favorite weapons. Chu Li stood directly outside the door and was stunned, he couldn't be interested in these murderous things.
The elder brother touched the sword for a while, and touched the gun for a while. "I still think that the sword I use for practice on weekdays is a perfect match for me."
"yes, I think too. After using it for a long time, I am no longer interested in other swords. β
Lin Chuan slowly walked behind Qing Yan, lowered his head to stroke the sword that Qing Yan had taken a fancy to, and nodded. "Since you like this sword so much, why don't you buy it!" Lin Chuan said.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly ran over, "This is a good sword!" The girl and the son have a good eye, the day before yesterday, a down-and-out young man came to be this sword, and when I looked at it, I understood that this was a unique thing in the world. β
"Oh? Since that's the case, buy it! Lin Chuan said.
"That young man, I guess he will come to redeem it! If I buy it, then he won't have a chance to use this beloved sword again! Qingyan said. For those who practice martial arts, the sword is a personal thing, a weapon, and a friend, that young man must have encountered extremely difficult things, otherwise how could he be willing to take such a beloved sword, if he bought it, wouldn't it be to win people's love.
"If you don't buy it, someone else will buy it." Qianxi said, "Qingyan, don't think so much. β
Lin Chuan finally didn't buy the sword, he felt that what Qingyan said made sense, and when he came out of the store, the shopkeeper's face was long. Qianxi didn't say anything more, she could disagree with what Qingyan said, but she was still very happy to listen to what Lin Chuan said, even if Qingyan and Lin Chuan said the same thing.
Although he didn't buy his favorite sword, Qingyan was still very happy. We bought some snacks such as sugar gourd hawthorn, and the dinner was also very hearty.
Night, quietly coming. Everyone fell asleep again. Outside the window, the moon is round, and tonight is the moon on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar. Lin Chuan quietly got out of bed, his coat had faded, revealing a somewhat loose lining, and his figure was even thinner. He took out the bottle of medicine and poured one into the palm of his hand, the black, pure black medicine was as mysterious and frightening as the man's black clothes, but he swallowed it, and immediately felt a breath of air flowing through his body.
From then on, he thought, everyone is still himself. Only him, not Lin Chuan, has become a chess piece that can be manipulated by others. It doesn't matter if the black or white pieces are either.
