Chapter 2 The Old Man in Distress

The sky was bright, and at the small port to the east of the village, more than 20 people had gathered. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThese are fishermen who have made an appointment to go out to sea together. Wei Yi followed his father to the port, and everyone immediately surrounded him.

"Brother Lin, we are ready to go at any time. A middle-aged man who was slightly younger than Wei Lin spoke first.

"Okay, I'll prepare, let's go!"

Wei Yi stood in the middle of a group of adults, looking a little thin, but everyone was very enthusiastic about him and liked to joke about him. Because he has been out of the sea three or four times with everyone, he knows that this little ghost is still quite capable, and he can indeed help Wei Lin do some work.

In the laughter and playfulness of a group of people, everyone got on the boat, hoisted the sails, and headed offshore. The fishermen of Feiyu Village are basically small wooden fishing boats, about five meters long, two meters wide, slightly upturned at both ends, and there is a houseboat in the middle part to shelter from the wind and rain. The form of fishing is also simple, generally a single fishing boat, basically a small net, what the net catches, a shot to change a place, all depends on luck. Organized fishing fleets like Wei Lin's are, usually led by experienced people, always look for fish, and when they find them, they round them up by arranging large nets, and finally everyone divides them together. The biggest skill of Weilin is to judge the direction of the fish according to the current and water temperature. This is also the real ability he has acquired after decades of experience at sea.

Two days later, everything went well. On the afternoon of the first day and the morning of the second day, we found a school of fish, and each boat was already full of white fish at this time. Everyone packed up their fishing gear and started to rush back.

Wei Yi was at the helm of the ship at this time, and he was very excited, and finally took advantage of Wei Lin's happiness to persuade him to let him take the helm for a while. While humming a little song, he played with the rudder. At this time, Wei Lin was sitting on the bow of the boat drinking, chatting with the brothers on the boat next to him. It was another bumper harvest and everyone was happy.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the port of the fishing village, Wei Yi suddenly saw a black thing floating on the sea surface on the port side, which looked like a person at first glance!

"Daddy, there's something floating over there, it seems to be a person!" Wei Yi hurriedly shouted to Wei Lin.

"What, where?" Wei Lin looked in the direction of his son's finger, and with his many years of experience at sea, he could see at a glance that he was indeed floating alone on the sea. "What a person, brothers, let's lean over and see!"

Several fishing boats lowered their sails and slowly approached them. "Dead, right? Looks like an old man!" a daring fisherman stabbed the man in the body with a rod. "It's so unlucky, I ran into a floating corpse!"

"Oh, whether he lives or dies, I'll catch it first, maybe the person isn't dead, isn't that saving a life. Even if he died, he would be buried on the shore, and I think such an old man is also in his sixties, and he is floating on the sea like this, how pitiful!" Wei Lin put down the wine bottle and prepared to take the rod and the noose.

As soon as the others heard that what Wei Lin said made sense, they all leaned over to help and pushed the body towards Wei Lin's boat. Wei Yi also hurriedly walked along the side of the boat to the bow of the boat, helped his father, used a noose to trap the body, and pulled it up to the deck of the ship.

"It doesn't smell, it doesn't look like it's been dead for a long time. As soon as Wei Lin grabbed the corpse, he felt a coldness, but the body was still intact and did not decompose. Wei Yi wanted to go over to help, but was stopped by Wei Lin.

"Don't touch it, go to the side. "Touching a corpse, after all, is a taboo thing, Wei Lin himself doesn't care, but he still doesn't dare to let his son touch it.

Wei Lin laid the corpse flat on the deck, and looked at it, it was an old man. The head flower has turned white, and the body is very strong, with a national face. He was also wearing a strong suit, not like a fisherman from the surrounding villages. It is estimated that he must have floated here after falling into the sea. Wei Lin cautiously put his finger on the old man's neck artery and tried it, trying to make sure that the person was dead.

"Mom, there's still a pulse!" Wei Lin touched it, and his hand bounced back with a "swish", startling a group of onlookers around him, and he was also blinded.

"Brother Lin, then hurry up and save people, pinch people, press their stomachs, and see if they can spit out water. "There was a clever one next to him, and he was the first to react. Several brothers on the boat next to him quickly jumped over, and three or four people surrounded the old man and began to save people. This seaside family has seen a lot of drowning, and all kinds of soil methods have been used together.

"Uh......" The old man spat out a mouthful of water, and then began to cough desperately. Everyone hurriedly helped the old man up and put a light hammer on his back, which made him cough up all the water in his lungs, and he was comfortable.

The old man gradually calmed down and slowly regained consciousness. I opened my eyes and looked around, looking confused and uncomfortable. "Less...... Young Master...... Shao ......" kept muttering in a daze, and it could be seen that his body seemed to be very weak and couldn't speak clearly.

"Old man, don't talk yet, we are the fishermen nearby, we just rescued you from the sea, and we will return to the village in a while. Don't worry, you'll be fine. Wei Lin hurriedly comforted the old man and laid him back on the deck. Then they turned around and shouted to the surrounding fishing boats: "Brothers, let's hurry up and go back to the village." I see that this old man is very weak, we have to find Meng Langzhong to show him. Yi'er, hurry up and hoist the sails. ā€

Immediately, all the fishing boats sailed quickly and returned to the port of Feiyu Village.

The village saw the fishing fleet coming back from afar, and a large group of people had already run to the harbor to wait. As soon as the fishing boat docked, the people on the shore looked wrong, why did a group of people get off the boat, they all looked nervous, and some people desperately shouted: "Pull the cart over and save people!"

Everyone became nervous all of a sudden, and for the people of the fishing village, the most worrying thing is to go out to sea and come back, someone is in distress, or cannot come back, which is a common thing. So, everyone ran towards the harbor, looking at the man who had been lifted off the boat, praying in their hearts that it would not be their own family.

Before leaving, everyone saw clearly that it was an old man with gray hair, and he would definitely not be a person who went to sea in a fishing village. The people who go out of the fishing village must be young adults, and those who are so old basically stay at home.

"Who is this?" began to inquire and discuss.

"It's an old man that Brother Lin rescued at sea, hurry up! We have to send it to Meng Langzhong. With the help of everyone, the old man was put on the cart, and a few young men pulled up the cart and went to the west of the village. Langzhong, the only one in the village, usually shows everyone the problem of headache and ear fever, but at this time, everyone can only count on him. Wei Yi entrusted the fishing boat to a brother of Wei Lin, and he followed his father to Meng Langzhong's house with the cart.

In Meng Langzhong's narrow home, there were more than a dozen people standing. The old man who was rescued from the sea was lying on the bed, and Meng Langzhong was checking his pulse. Everyone waited with bated breath, not daring to make a noise.

"This old man is strong, and he has no external injuries, and drowning will not cause him to be so weak. But the pulse is chaotic, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low-pitched. It is estimated that he suffered serious internal injuries. Meng Langzhong stood up, stroked his beard, and said to everyone.

"Internal injuries, could it be that he was beaten?" Wei Lin was the first to react and asked Meng Langzhong.

Lang Zhong glanced at Wei Lin and shook his head: "Then I don't know!" However, there is no danger to his life for the time being, and he only needs to recuperate to restore his normal mobility. I'll prescribe him some prescriptions. So saying, he went to the table and took a pen and began to write.

As soon as everyone heard that there was no danger to their lives, they were relieved. The atmosphere in the room was also much softened, and they all watched the old man and began to talk.

"I don't think this old man is simple, at this age, his body still looks very strong, will he be a martial arts practitioner. ā€

"It's possible, if you look at the clothes he wears, they are usually the strong clothes worn by some practitioners. I think eighty percent of them were hunted down by the enemy, right?"

"Hey, do you think it's a rebel, being chased by the Imperial Army and forced to jump into the sea?"

ā€œ......ā€

There were many people, and Wei Lin saw that everyone was getting more and more outrageous, so he quickly stood up: "Okay, now the old man has determined that his life is not in danger." Let's go back with peace of mind, I thank you for your help. Come to my house for a drink later!"

When everyone saw Wei Lin say this, they all greeted Wei Lin one after another and retreated.

Meng Langzhong wrote the prescription, came to Wei Lin, and handed it to him. "Old Meng, this old man's way of coming is indeed a little strange, what they just said is not unreasonable, you save such a person, don't get into any trouble!" On weekdays, Wei Lin and Meng Langzhong have a good relationship, and Wei Lin often invites him to drink together. Therefore, after seeing everyone leave, he also took the initiative to find Wei Lin and express his concerns.

"Don't worry about this, since God let me Wei Lin encounter this matter, it means that I have a relationship with this old man. No matter where he comes from, it's always good that I save his life. As for causing any trouble, I've never been afraid of trouble. You old Meng know!hahaha!" Wei Lin patted Meng Langzhong's shoulder with an indifferent look and said with a smile.

"If you have it, I know it, and it's useless to tell you. What about this old man? I can't live in this house, so you'll have to figure it out yourself. Meng Langzhong saw that Wei Lin didn't take it seriously, so he naturally followed him. It's just that my room is already small, and there is only one bed, so there is really no way to solve this problem.

"Okay, I won't embarrass you, I'll go to the town to get medicine first. Yi'er, you go home and talk to your mother, clean up the outside of our house, and make a place to come out. When I get back, I'll move the old man over. After Wei Lin finished explaining, he took the prescription and went to the town.

Wei Yi looked at the old man lying on the bed, and an inexplicable uneasiness rose in his heart. But Daddy decided so much, and he didn't bother to think about it. It's a big thing, and there is a daddy. So, I said goodbye to Meng Lang and went home to find my mother to arrange.

Thirty miles north of Feiyu Village, on the Wind Cliff by the East Sea, there was a group of people. All black leather armor to protect the body, the body is inlaid with dark yellow metal dragon patterns, the right shoulder is hung with dragon head armor, the black hood only shows both eyes, the lower body is black power pants, the thighs are tied with brown leather buckles, and a dark one-foot-long dagger is hung, and the silver dragon head handle glows coldly in the moonlight. The one at the front was slightly different, with a brass-colored mask instead of a hood on his face, and a black cloak with a brass buckle on his shoulders, which grinned in the sea breeze. The forehead of the mask is engraved with the blood-red word "Li".

"A bunch of rubbish, a dozen people, actually let an old man in his sixties run away?" the brass mask faced the sea, and shouted impatiently at the group behind him.

"Lord Bronze Envoy, that old man has been seriously injured by his subordinates, and he could have been caught. Who knew that when he ran to this wind cliff, he suddenly threw a firearm, which blew up a large cloud of smoke, and his subordinates were suddenly blinded and completely invisible. When the fog cleared, the old man jumped off the cliff. He was so badly injured, and the bottom of this cliff was full of reefs, even if he didn't fall to his death, he probably drowned in the sea. ā€œ

"Smack!" the brass mask suddenly turned around and slapped the subordinate in the face, directly knocking the other party out and falling to the ground. "Bastard! This time the top of the empire sent our Night Dragon Guard out to deal with the rebels of the Chu Feng Regiment, which shows that the Chu Feng Regiment is different from those ordinary grass bandits. ā€œ

The brass mask looked at the night dragon guard who got up from the ground, and then stared at a jade plaque with red characters on a white background in his hand, and the word "Chu" was engraved on the card.

"As soon as I saw this jade plate, I knew that this old man was not an ordinary Chu Fengtuan minion, and after such a lot of twists and turns, it was not easy to catch up with a Chu Fengtuan backbone. You could have traced Chu Fengtuan's nest in Hidden Dragon Mountain, but it was wasted by you. ā€

"Yes! Subordinates should be damned!" The dozen or so Night Dragon Guards behind them all knelt down.

"Live to see people, dead to see corpses! Gather all the people and horses, do whatever it takes, search the entire offshore area, I want to see this person, whether alive or corpse!"

"Yes, Bronze Envoy!" the entire team of Night Dragon Guards saluted the brass masks, and then in an instant, they all disappeared into the night with only a few "whoosh, whoosh" sounds. Only the Bronze Emissary was still standing on the Tempest Cliff, facing the Hunting Sea Breeze.

The Night Dragon Guard, one of the Fourteen Guards of the Great Lie, is a personal guard army directly under the jurisdiction of the Emperor of the Empire. There are 2,000 people, and the supreme commander is the golden envoy, and there are four silver envoys, each leading two bronze imperial history. Each of the eight bronze envoys led two hundred night dragon guards, all of whom were elite soldiers promoted in the imperial army, and specialized in cultivating skills such as reconnaissance, assassination, and secret agents. Responsible for collecting various intelligence for the emperor, assassinating targets, and investigating military intelligence.

The one who is now on the Swift Wind Cliff is one of the eight bronze envoys of the Night Dragon Guard, codenamed "Li", and the eight bronze envoys are codenamed after the hexagrams in the gossip.

"A small Chu Feng Tuan, I want to see how big the wind and waves can be!" In the darkness, Li's brass mask looked dazzling and terrifying in the moonlight.
