Chapter 24: The Wanqing Gang

Gu Youyi married Jin Lan, swore to live and die together, and stuck a knife in both ribs to praise each other's affection, for each other, you can go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire without flinching. But what if it's a stranger? Or a passer-by who doesn't have a deep relationship, what would you do if the other person was in danger? Would you choose to stand by or stand out?

On the mountain road, the carriage was still galloping, stirring up dust. The winding mountain road seems to have no end, and it continues to a place where it is not visible to the naked eye. The undulating road shook the carriage as if it were about to fall apart.

"How long will it take to get there?" Lin Xuan poked her head out to look at the distant mountain road, and asked sadly, she had been a little unbearable by the bumps in the road.

"One more stick of incense will be there. The innkeeper didn't look back, and said loudly while waving his horsewhip, sweating like rain on his head, and it was estimated that he was tired enough to drive all the way.

Originally, the innkeeper planned to find someone else to drive the car over, but no one was willing, and they all hid far away, probably frightened by the previous fight. There was no way, the boss had to drive the car by himself.

Lin Xuan retracted her head stupidly, and looked at her grandfather who was lying there motionless with a worried expression, not knowing what to do. I couldn't help but move my eyes to Wuxin, who had been sitting on the side and hadn't spoken, and stopped talking.

"Don't worry, I've sealed his meridians, and it's okay for the time being. Wuxin lowered his head and said lightly, as if he knew what Lin Xuan was thinking.

After listening to the unintentional answer, Lin Xuan's nervous mood finally eased a little and nodded lightly. Looking at Wuxin, who had been sitting there since he got into the car, Lin Xuan had a lot of questions in his heart: Who is he? Why is his martial arts so high? Isn't he tired?

"What's your name?" Lin Xuan tilted his head to look at Wuxin, and asked softly, there were countless questions he wanted to ask, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still asked this question that he should know the most at present.

Unintentionally hearing Lin Xuan's question, he was stunned for a moment and did not speak. After a pause, he replied lightly: "Unintentional." "He never seemed to be alone with someone like this, and he was a girl, and he always felt weird, but he was very comfortable, very relaxed, and he didn't have to hide it, and he didn't have to worry about anything else. Gradually, he kind of liked this way of getting along.

"Heartless? Lin Xuan frowned, looking thoughtful, looking very cute. I really didn't understand it after thinking about it for a long time, so I asked again: "Then who are you? Why are your martial arts so high? Why did you save me?" asked a lot of questions at once, and I didn't even breathe.

"You have too many questions. Wuxin frowned and said lightly, without answering one by one. Facing Lin Xuan's repeated questions, he didn't know how to answer, he was not a talkative person in the first place.

There was silence in the car for a while, Lin Xuan pursed her lips, didn't ask any more, and turned around to take care of her grandfather, facing this cold person, she also didn't know how to get along. Wuxin stopped talking and began to continue to bow his head and ponder.

I don't know how long it took, but the slightly excited voice of the innkeeper finally came from outside the carriage.

"It's here. Just as the car was in awkwardness, the innkeeper's voice happened to come in. Finally, the endless mountain road has finally come to an end.

This is a single courtyard built on the mountainside, although it is small, but the courtyard is full of all kinds of herbs, emitting bursts of fragrance, after smelling it makes people feel refreshed, it is really a good place to recuperate. The medical hall is built in such a place, and it is indeed possible to devote oneself to the study of medical skills, and it can also cultivate a variety of medicinal herbs.

Because the innkeeper and the owner of the infirmary knew each other, Lin Xuan's grandfather was quickly carried to the inner room of the infirmary to begin treatment. But the doctor asked everyone to wait outside, which is probably a common problem for all skilled doctors.

Lin Xuan waited anxiously in the corridor, constantly walking around on the ground. Wuxin looked at the girl in front of him who gave him a different feeling, looked at the restlessness on her face, and asked lightly, "Why are you being hunted down?" He wanted to distract Lin Xuan's attention, worried that she would be in a hurry.

Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment, with a hint of surprise on her face, she didn't expect this strange person to take the initiative to talk to her. After a pause, he said slowly: "My father is a martial arts idiot, he has been wandering for many years, challenging the masters of the rivers and lakes, although I heard my grandfather say that my father was often injured, and he was seriously injured several times, but in the end he was safe." But half a year ago, we heard that he went to the Wanqing Gang, and wanted to challenge someone, and the grandfather rushed to the news as soon as he heard the news, but it was still too late, and when the grandfather went, his father had been seriously injured by the Wanqing Gang, as if it was for the ancestral white jade sword in his father's hand, and the grandfather desperately rescued his father, but his father died less than a month after returning home. Since then, people have been coming to us, all to grab the white jade sword, grandpa has no choice, in order to protect me, he can only take me around to hide. But now, grandpa is also injured......" Speaking of this, Lin Xuan's tears couldn't stop flowing down, and she couldn't help crying.

I didn't want to look at the tear-stained girl in front of me, and I couldn't help but feel a little unbearable, and wanted to say something to comfort her, but I didn't know how to speak.

"Xuan'er!" At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the inner room, and then there was no movement. It's Lin Xuan's grandfather, and it seems that he has woken up.

Lin Xuan heard her grandfather's cry, her tears stopped, and she quickly stretched out her arm to wipe the tears that covered her vision, and anxiously called out to her grandfather, and was about to push the door and rush in. But by this time the door to the inner chamber had been opened from the inside, and the doctor had walked out.

"Where's my grandfather?

The doctor stretched out his hand to stop Lin Xuan, wiped the sweat on his head, exhaled and said, "He's fine, but he hasn't woken up yet, he was just babbling just now, probably someone who is particularly worried." As he spoke, he looked at Lin Xuan, who was teary-eyed, and then said, "But I can't go in to see him yet, he needs to rest." After saying that, he gestured to the innkeeper and walked to the outer room.

"Good work. When the doctor passed by Wuxin, Wuxin said lightly. The doctor nodded, and walked out with the innkeeper.

Wuxin had already handed over the cost of seeing a doctor to the innkeeper just now, and he handed it over to the owner of the medical hall, that is, the doctor just now. In addition to this doctor, there is only one child here, probably the doctor's apprentice.

Lin Xuan listened to the doctor's words, and the anxiety in her heart slowly dissipated, and finally calmed down. Grandpa is her only relative now, and if something happens to him, she really doesn't know what she will do.

"Thank you, Brother Wuxin, if it weren't for you, my grandfather might not have died a long time ago. Lin Xuan opened a pair of big tearful eyes, looked at Wuxin, and said seriously.

Wuxin was stunned by her sudden brother's call, and when she saw her haggard, she sighed and said, "It's okay." Seeing Lin Xuan's current appearance, Wuxin's heart was also sour, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, as if he remembered some sad past.

After settling everything, Wuxin returned the same way with the innkeeper. Lin Xuan stayed in the hospital to take care of her grandfather, and unintentionally left some extra money for the hospital, telling them to take care of Lin Xuan and her grandfather.

Before leaving, I unintentionally saw Lin Xuan's reluctance, probably now in addition to my grandfather, I am now Lin Xuan's most trusted person. Although I saw the reluctance in Lin Xuan's eyes, there was no way, I still had a lot of things to do, and I was destined to just pass by, and I didn't know if I could see her again in the future, but I just didn't want to hope that Lin Xuan and her grandfather could be safe from now on.

After returning to Crescent Town, Wuxin did not leave immediately, but returned to the inn, asked for a pot of wine, and began to drink it slowly, but this time he didn't plan to get himself drunk, but Lin Xuan's matter seemed to have revealed a certain scar in his heart again, and it seemed difficult to calm down without drinking some wine.

In fact, he had never drunk alcohol before, only tea, but this was the second time since he came to Crescent Town, and he seemed to have liked the feeling of being fluctuating after drinking.

The innkeeper didn't worry about anything this time, because he knew that Wuxin had money on him, and even if he didn't pay, he wouldn't say anything, he just hoped that the young man in front of him would drink it quickly and leave, he didn't want to see blood in his inn again.

Early the next morning, he got up without intention, and he was ready to go on his way to continue his unfinished business. But when he walked out of the inn to leave, he heard news that shocked him.

"Do you know? Last night, when Zhang San went up the mountain to hunt, he found that the medical hall on the mountain was dead, and the medical hall was also burned, I don't know who did it. ”

"Really, did you offend someone?"

"Then who knows, it's pretty miserable anyway, I heard that the doctor and the apprentice are both dead. ”

......

Hearing the chatter of pedestrians on the street, Wuxin stopped abruptly, unable to believe his ears. Suddenly, I remembered the smiling, innocent and lovely Lin Xuan in my mind, who was waving to him. I didn't have time to think about it, so I unintentionally reached out and untied a horse tied to the door of the inn, and galloped away in the direction of the medical hall.

When Wuxin saw with his own eyes that the medical hall that was quiet and comfortable yesterday had become a ruin at this time, he believed that something was really wrong here. Hurriedly jumped off the horse and began to look for Lin Xuan's figure in the ruins. But no matter how much he searched, he couldn't find anything.

In the end, only three charred corpses were found, the doctor, the apprentice, and Lin Xuan's grandfather were all dead, but only Lin Xuan's figure was missing, and the white jade sword disappeared with her. Thinking of the white jade sword, Wuxin seemed to understand something, and suddenly realized, and a trace of intense murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Wanqing Gang is Wanqing Gang. Could it be that those three people didn't leave at all yesterday and followed them all the time? Or did they have someone else lurking in Crescent Town? I didn't want to understand it, so I didn't want to think about it at all.

Since there is no Lin Xuan's body here, it means that at least she is still alive now, thinking of this, she did not hesitate, and after hastily burying the three corpses in front of her, she left quickly on horseback.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Wuxin from beginning to end, but because he couldn't get used to the people of the Wanqing Gang, he took action, and then rescued Lin Xuan and her grandfather, and slowly became familiar with Lin Xuan, especially when he heard Lin Xuan's story, Wuxin always felt a sense of sympathy. Now that the Wanqing Gang has captured Lin Xuan, it has something to do with him, and he knows that he has to do something.

The horse quickly left, leaving only a faint smell of burning in the air and a trace of murderous aura that dissipated with the wind......
