Chapter 43: The Wind Over the Mountain
After eating the Rebirth Pill, Yan Dechang's body got better day by day, and on the fifth day, although his movement was still a little inconvenient, Yan Dechang was already able to walk on crutches on his own.
In the past few days, the Yan family has undoubtedly become the focus of Liuhe Town, not to mention anything else, let's just say that the style of Lu Wenbin and the Lu family's two courtyards living in the Yan family is something that many people in Liuhe Town have not seen, after all, there is no leaky wall in this world, but the Lu steward and a few people stayed in the Yan family for a few days, and the people in Liuhe Town basically knew that they were from the Lu family of Huanglong County.
One of the most exaggerated rumors actually said that Yan Liqiang took the initiative to sell himself to the Lu family as a slave, and the Lu family sent someone to give the Yan family a strong reputation, such a rumor was heard by Yan Liqiang from Zhou Hongda's wife, and when he heard such news, Yan Liqiang just smiled disdainfully.
In the past few days, Yan Liqiang has been at home, and in the past few days when Yan Dechang can't get out of bed, he has been serving Yan Dechang every day, serving Yan Dechang with feces and urine, scrubbing his body, and feeding him, working hard without complaining, and never borrowing the hands of others.
On the seventh day, the Lu family finally came to the news, and after some efforts by the Lu family, the identity of the person who slashed Yan Dechang was finally confirmed.
That person was a key criminal wanted by the Han Empire for more than ten years, and in the archives of the last few years left in the Huanglong County Criminal Arrest Yamen, no useful clues could be found, and finally the Lu family used their relationship to find that person in the wanted files kept by the Pingxi County Criminal Arrest Yamen.
That person's name is Deng Long, nicknamed Guoshan Feng, is a standard wandering habitual killer, ruthless, more than ten years ago in other states and counties for robbery and murder was wanted, carrying more than a dozen innocent lives, all these years have been wanted, just because he wanders around, his whereabouts are erratic, and he is cunning, so he has not been caught.
If Yan Liqiang hadn't drawn a portrait of that person, I'm afraid that the torture yamen in Pingxi County wouldn't know that this person had wandered into Pingxi County.
After determining the identity of that person, the criminal arrest yamen in Pingxi County wrote to each county, let the counties want to trace, and after receiving the letter from the superiors, the people from the Qinghe County criminal arrest yamen pretended to go to Yan's house to learn about what happened that day, and then posted a wanted portrait on the street of Liuhe Town, which was painted with a bull's head and a horse's mouth, and it was over.
In the past few days, Yan Liqiang has taken care of Yan Dechang at home, but he has not relaxed his cultivation.
He slept in the room next to Yan Dechang, every night, when Yan Dechang slept or rested, Yan Liqiang practiced the Yi Jin Washing Pulp Sutra in the room, and he never fell down for a day, and he still maintained more than six times of cultivation every day.
In the past few days, Zhou Hongda and his wife are cooking in the Yan family, the people of the Lu family are doing the nursing home, and the Lu steward is dealing with all kinds of miscellaneous things.
Especially the cheats of "Nine Palaces Wind Shadow Step" given to him by Qian Su, under the immersion of days and days, Yan Liqiang felt more and more, just a few days, Yan Liqiang felt as if he had touched the realm of the first layer of "Nine Palace Wind Shadow Steps".
At the same time, with the cultivation of the Yi Jin Sutra, Yan Liqiang found that his perception in all aspects became more and more acute, every day during the day, although he was in his own home, Yan Liqiang always had a feeling of being watched and watched, this feeling was exactly the same as the feeling he experienced outside the gate of the craftsman camp that day, and only in the dead of night did this feeling disappear.
Although it may be a little unbelievable to say, Yan Liqiang's intuition told him over and over again that the mountain wind has always been by his side, even if he is wanted, he has not escaped, but is like a poisonous snake, hiding in the shadows, ready to give himself a fatal blow at any time, the name of the mountain wind itself is another name for cobra.
The mountain wind did not leave, which means that as the national art test is approaching, the Hong family still has not given up their plan.
Yan Liqiang finally made up his mind!
......
On the evening of June 14, at one o'clock in the middle of the night, Yan Liqiang, who was sleeping in the room next to Yan Dechang, opened his eyes.
Tonight the clouds are very thick, the stars and the moon are obscure, and the sky and earth outside are pitch black, and the visibility is not high.
Yan Liqiang, who got up, was dressed in black clothes on the bed, and then carried the bow bag of the horned python bow, stepped on the quiver, and went out silently.
As soon as he pushed open the door outside Yan Dechang and walked out, a low voice came from the side, "Yan Gongzi ......."
Tonight, one of the Lu family's nursing homes was on duty, guarding the courtyard outside, quite vigilant, and Yan Liqiang was discovered as soon as he came out.
Seeing Yan Liqiang's dress in black clothes and black pants, coupled with the bow and arrow and quiver on his back, the Lu family's guard was shocked.
Yan Liqiang made a shushing motion, and the guard immediately understood, he walked over and asked in a voice that only Yan Liqiang could hear, "Yan Gongzi, ...... are you?"
"Don't worry about me, I'll go out and practice archery, you just don't see anything, remember, don't alarm others......" Yan Liqiang said with a serious face.
The guards here are all members of the Lu family, and there is naturally no problem with loyalty, the guard only hesitated for two seconds, and then nodded, indicating that he knew what to do.
Yan Liqiang did not leave from the front gate or the back, but came directly to the courtyard wall of the backyard where he usually practiced martial arts at home, and worked his feet, "Nine Palace Wind Shadow Steps" As soon as he used it, the powerful bouncing ability made his body fly up all of a sudden, and he took two steps on the wall with two feet in a row, and his body continued to rise a lot, and then he hugged the top of the wall with one hand, and with a slight effort, the whole body was like a big bird, silently crossing the courtyard wall that was nearly three meters high, and suddenly turned over the courtyard wall.
Beyond the walls of this courtyard is a dense bamboo forest.
Yan Liqiang, who had climbed over the courtyard wall, squatted behind a clump of bamboo, staring at the surroundings with wide eyes and heavy shadows, while carefully feeling the surrounding situation.
When he was sure that no one had discovered his whereabouts, Yan Liqiang was like a cat, rushing into the bamboo forest lightly and quickly, running towards the mountain in the distance at the end of the bamboo forest, and in the blink of an eye, the whole person completely melted into the darkness.
......
Nearly three hours later, Yan Liqiang returned to the woods, and then, as he had left, climbed over the courtyard wall, but Yan Liqiang's bow and quiver had disappeared.
The Lu family's nursing home had been waiting for Yan Liqiang to come back, and after seeing Yan Liqiang again, the nursing home breathed a long sigh of relief.
Yan Liqiang winked at the nursing home and made a secret gesture, which was full of doubts, but still nodded......
......
The next day, June 15, the Yan family was still ...... as before.
Yan Liqiang still got up when it was time to get up, and then practiced the Yijin Washing Sutra in the room, and then went to take care of Yan Dechang and serve Yan Dechang to wash.
Zhou Hongda and his wife also came to Yan's house early, just like in the past few days, and began to make breakfast for everyone in the Yan family, and after Yan Dechang finished washing, the husband and wife's breakfast was also ready.
"Early this morning, I went to buy meat, only to find that a few butchers in the town just bought live pigs were ordered by the people of the Hong family, I heard that because the national art examination is imminent, the Hong family is ready to worship the ancestors today, in order to bless the title of the gold list of the Hong Tao big examination, and advance to the samurai as soon as possible. ”
While eating breakfast, Yan Liqiang heard the news from Zhou Hongda, which made him stunned for several seconds before he gave a vague "um".
In the afternoon, after lunch, Yan Dechang lost his crutches for the first time, walked two laps in the yard, and his body recovered better and better.
After exercising for two hours, Yan Dechang was a little tired, so Yan Liqiang helped Yan Dechang to the house, changed Yan Dechang's dressing, and after finishing these, Yan Dechang also fell asleep.
Yan Liqiang came out of the house, went directly to the kitchen to carry a basket, took a small hoe, and prepared to go out.
Seeing that Yan Liqiang was going out, Steward Lu was surprised.
"I didn't expect my father's body to recover so quickly, it just so happened that the mountain mushrooms on the mountain should also come out in the past few days, I went to the mountain to pick a little mountain mushrooms and stewed a chicken for my father tomorrow to replenish his body......"
Steward Lu was slightly stunned, "Yan Gongzi ......"
Yan Liqiang had a bright smile on his face, "It's okay, do you think that Steward Lu has been wanted for so many days, and that person still dares to stay in Liuhe Town, if my father wakes up and I haven't come back, Steward Lu, you tell him that I will go to the town to buy something, let him not worry, if I haven't come back after dark, you will eat first!"
What else did Steward Lu want to say, Yan Liqiang's palm had already slapped on his shoulder, pinched it twice with extraordinary strength, and looked at Steward Lu with firm eyes, "I'll just go alone, Steward Lu is here to take care of my father......"
There was a force in Yan Liqiang's words that Steward Lu couldn't refuse, and the Lu family asked him to listen to Yan Liqiang's orders here, seeing that Yan Liqiang insisted on going up the mountain, Steward Lu could only nod, and at the same time told Yan Liqiang to be careful.
In this way, Yan Liqiang carried a basket on his back, walked out from the main gate of Yan's house, and walked along the edge of the Liuhe River towards the mountains and forests not far away......
