Chapter 26: Desert Survival (13)
A few years ago, one of Yan Jingxing's subordinates died, this is not an uncommon thing, the days of licking blood on the tip of the knife, death is a common thing, but it is a pity that he went regretfully before he finished the words he brought to the death, leaving him with a lot of things to do.
Some time ago, I went to Modong Town and found the spiritual seat he enshrined and a picture of everyone feasting and drinking in Zhao Quanfu's house. Zhao Quanfu is a businessman from the Central Plains, he fled here to escape from the enemy's pursuit, Yan Jingxing knew him a few years ago, after all, his business ability is still good, the two have occasional contacts, but the place where the spiritual seat is placed is private, and it is impossible for outsiders to visit. If he hadn't been entrusted by him to go to the Central Plains to find his relatives who he didn't have time to take away, and bring back his father's tablet, Yan Jingxing would not have been able to see it.
When Zhao Quanfu sadly put down his father's tablet to confess, Yan Jingxing was embarrassed to leave without explanation, so he could only wait there. casually looked around, only to find a picture of a banquet hanging on the wall, which looked a little old.
At first, he didn't take it to heart, but when he saw the person depicted in the picture, he became cautious. There were about eight or nine people in the picture, two of whom he had seen, one was Zhao Quanfu, and the other was the person who accompanied the subordinate back to the fort.
At that time, Wang Shi was the last group of people to come to the desert, so he had a close connection with the Central Plains. Eight years ago, he was sent to the Central Plains to investigate some things, but there was no news, and it was not until a year later that he returned to the fort with a serious injury, and it was the person in the painting who accompanied him at that time, but he was very embarrassed and weak at that time.
Because Wang Shi appeared suddenly, and his injuries were not light, and his body was very weak, he only briefly explained when he looked at the man that he had encountered a sandstorm and was rescued by him after staying in the desert for two days. Seeing that Wang Shi really respects this person, he has been desperately saving him in the desert for the past few days, and accompanied him back to the fort, he is a righteous person, Yan Jingxing ordered someone to take that person down for treatment, and he stayed by Wang Shi's side to wait for the results of the treatment.
Who knew that the change happened, Wang Shi suddenly foamed at the mouth, and his body spasmed uncontrollably, Uncle You quickly pierced a few life-saving acupuncture points on his body to no avail, Wang Shi only had time to say "The master ordered the young master to find Yu Chengzi Rui to protect him...... and went". At this time, the person who had just gone out outside also came to report that the person was dead, and Yan Jingxing went out to see the same symptoms.
"It seems to be poisoned, but it's not like it, but it's not a contagious disease, and it's impossible for two people to get the same disease and not be contagious. Maybe it's some kind of poison I don't know about. Uncle You stepped forward to check it and said.
Yan Jingxing searched the two and only found a dried water bladder on the man, and everything else should have been lost in the sandstorm.
Although the injuries on Wang Shi's body were serious, he shouldn't be okay with his physical fitness, and this person suddenly appeared halfway, and escorted him all the way back, he wasn't sure whether he was friend or foe. The two of them had the same symptoms, they must have eaten or touched something, but unfortunately the only water bladder left behind could not find anything.
There are also injuries on Wang Shi's body, which seem to have been left in recent days, and should have been chased and killed all the way back, and may have suddenly encountered a sandstorm when he was outnumbered. When the sandstorm passed, he escaped death, and just happened to meet the man. So did the people who pursued him escape by chance? Were they the ones who did it? But Uncle You's medical skills should not be unable to detect the cause of the poison. I don't know who these two people are involved with.
Yan Jingxing also thought about checking that person after dealing with Wang Shi's aftermath, but unfortunately the desert was too vast, how could people who didn't even know their names check it, and he was also tired of running around with half a sentence left by Wang Shi in the next few years, and he couldn't care about anything else.
"Brother Yan, thank you so much for bringing my brother's family back, and bringing my parents' tablets, I really, I ......" Zhao Quanfu said to Yan Jingxing after half a while, but his mood was obviously unstable. This person is also pitiful, because he is very business-minded, young and ambitious, he offended many peers, and was chased and killed by them, but fortunately he escaped death and was rescued, and he had no choice but to settle here. In the past few years, I have been trying to find my relatives, but unfortunately after his accident, his family was also affected by him, running around and running for his life, and lost contact. After knowing Yan Jingxing's ability, he had to ask him for help, which led to these things.
Yan Jingxing comforted him a few words, and when he saw that he was almost calm, he asked, "Who is the person on this painting?"
"These are my benefactors and friends since I came here, and we used to drink and chat in the town when my benefactor was still there, and we haven't been together since the benefactor left. This painting was painted by Lao Jia when he was drunk at the banquet when we last gathered, and he once vowed not to paint again, and when he woke up, he wanted to tear it, but I stopped him and took it back. Zhao Quanfu looked at the portrait as if he was stuck in a memory.
"Benefactor??"
"The one sitting first on the right-hand side is called Kaxiu, when I was chased and seriously injured, he saved me. Later, I learned that he was from the desert and traveled to the Central Plains. I had nowhere else to go, and seeing that he was easy-going and honest, I came here with him, and settled down in this town, and made many true friends through him. Zhao Quanfu said that maybe he hadn't talked to anyone about Kaxiu for a long time, and he couldn't finish talking about it.
Yan Jingxing knew that this Kaxiu was a swordsman who was both civil and military, honest and frank, traveled extensively, met many people in different fields, was open-minded and casual, and treated people sincerely. And he is the third grandson of Kamo, and the third brother of the current head of Ka Village. At that time, he was going to inherit his grandfather's will and return to Kacun to become the village head, but later he died young, which made many friends unbelievable.
"Then who is this person, and how is he a person?" Yan Jingxing asked, pointing to a person.
"He is Chen Yang, it was Kaxiu who rescued him from the wolves back then, although he was older than Kaxiu, he insisted on recognizing Kaxiu as his eldest brother. This person is illiterate and a little reckless, but he is very righteous and strong, and he is very protective of his shortcomings. Zhao Quanfu looked at Chen Yang in the painting and said with a smile, "He made a lot of jokes back then, but he didn't care if he was laughed at, but felt that he was quite happy to make everyone happy, and he was everyone's pistachio." ”
"And do you know what happened to him?"
Later, after knowing that Kaxiu had gone, everyone couldn't believe it and went to Kacun for verification. His martial arts are as true as his grandfather's inheritance, how could he roll down the hill and fall to his death. When I arrived in Kacun, I learned that he had contracted a strange disease two years ago, and he had been lying in bed for two years with his whole body paralyzed. When I finally got better, I got out of bed and walked around, and went out to take a look, maybe my body was still very weak, so I just fell down. "Zhao Quanfu felt extremely uncomfortable as long as he thought of this for so many years, and such a young talent went like this, he was really jealous of the talent.
Zhao Quanfu sighed with emotion and continued: "After everyone stayed in Kacun and sent off Kaxiu, they went back separately, everyone was very sad, and they didn't see each other again since then." I heard that after Chen Yang left Kacun, he went to several places where he played together, probably to mourn the deceased by revisiting the old place, and then I didn't have any news of him. ”
"Why did Brother Yan ask Chen Yang?" Zhao Quanfu felt strange after sobering up from his memories.
