Volume 1 Citygate Chapter 29 Exploring the Black Wind Gate at Night
The forest at night is very quiet, with the occasional snake hissing and the birdsong being very clear...
Xiao Bai was sitting on the trunk of the tree, boredom swinging, it had been out of cultivation for a long time, and Hu Jian was still pitch black, only a faint black shadow could be seen in the moonlight, it was difficult to detect if he didn't look carefully.
About a quarter of an hour later, Hu Jianzhou's starlight reappeared, and his figure gradually became clearer, only to see fine beads of sweat on his forehead, gasping for breath. Seemingly a little tired, Hu Jian's figure shook for a while, and he stretched out his left hand and grabbed at the tree trunk on the left.
"Poof", Hu Jian's pig leaf tree shook slightly, Hu Jian stayed until he stood still, looked at his palm, a shallow fingerprint appeared where the tree touched the palm, a few pieces of bark slipped off, and the sound of "dong dong dong" came softly.
Sitting on the trunk of the tree, Hu Jian clenched his fist, felt the power from the fist, and felt that the strength had increased by more than 600 catties, and it was about 2,000 catties at the end, and his face was full of excitement.
"Samurai junior, this is the feeling of the power of the bloodline being strengthened. In Hu Jian's chest, the heart was beating "thump", and the sonorous force was nearly twice as strong as before.
Xiaobai also jumped over from the tree trunk on the side at this time, climbed onto Hu Jian's shoulder, and looked at the moon in the sky with Hu Jian, as if he was also missing Zhang Guang and Hu Zhong, and they were unusually quiet.
A quarter of an hour later, Hu Jian stood up, put the iron rod behind his back, touched Xiaobai's head, jumped forward, and shuttled quickly in the direction of the black wind gate, faster and faster.
The camp of the Black Wind Gate was lifeless, and the gusts of wind blew by, and there was no figure in the camp of Nuoda, and even the passing insects, rats, ants, and beasts faintly avoided this area.
Hu Jian stood on a tree a hundred meters away, looking at the scene in front of him, and a trace of sadness rose in his heart, human life is like a mustard, so small in front of absolute power.
He had been standing here for nearly an hour, and he hadn't seen Zhang Guang's shadow, nor had he found anything, just then.
"Huh?"
Two figures appeared on the path at the end of the road, carrying a lantern and touching the ruins of the Black Wind Gate, these two people looked small, but also looked like teenagers, and a slightly chubby teenager behind them was still trembling slightly on his legs, as if he was a little scared.
In front of the collapsed door of the Black Wind Gate, the group put the lantern aside, bowed in the direction of the Black Wind Gate, and walked towards the depths when they lifted the lantern, as if they were very familiar with this place.
When Hu Jian saw this, his eyes narrowed slightly, he jumped down, and touched it in the direction of the Black Wind Gate.
"Dapeng, let's go back, it's weird and scary here. A chubby boy with a lantern, his legs trembling, said to a teenager in front of him.
"Xiaopang, what are you afraid of, here are all our people from Heifengmen, they are all our relatives, and they will not harm us. Dapeng said to the young man behind him, his footsteps did not stop, "And during the day, there are officials here, saying that they are investigating the case, but in fact, they are putting the valuable things of the Black Wind Gate into their pockets, and we can't get in at all." Uncle Yun's injuries can't be dragged on, the group of Langzhong in the city is very powerful, we don't have any money, so we don't have good medicine at all. ”
The slightly chubby young man, when he heard the word Uncle Yun, he didn't speak again, so he silently followed Dapeng's figure, and his eyes looked around from time to time.
The two stopped in front of a collapsed building, and Dapeng handed the lantern in his hand to Chubby and rescued him from the rubble.
Hu Jian looked at the figures of the two people in the ruins, and the plaque that fell next to the wooden door still had the word medicine hall written on it, and he had a judgment on the affairs of the two of them.
The little fat was helping to light the lantern behind the greenhouse, while Dapeng rummaged on the ground, and after a while of searching in the ruins, Dapeng stood up, his face full of disappointment.
"Damn, those dog officials took away all the valuable things here, if the door master is still there, how dare that group of people bully us so much, they don't even give us some medicinal herbs. Dapeng's face was resentful, and his teeth and lips were clenched.
When Xiaopang heard this, he was silent, his face was actually very calm, and he didn't seem to care about whether he could find the medicine or not, he just wanted to go back early.
"You are the people of the Black Wind Gate. Seeing this, Hu Jian jumped off a wall and said to the two.
"Who are you? When did you come? Dapeng was visibly taken aback, and his voice trembled a little.
Xiaopang was even more unbearable, and sat directly on the ground, with an "ah" scream from his mouth, and a fishy smell came out between his legs.
"Don't worry, I have no malicious intent, I may be able to save your Uncle Yun, I just need to ask you about one person's news. Hu Jian held a piece of silver in his hand and said softly.
"Why do we believe you" Xiaopang seemed to be frightened by Hu Jian, seeing that Hu Jian was not very old, he stood up and said angrily, it is not unreasonable for him to say this, Heifengmen has killed a lot of horse thieves, and there are many enemies, in case it is an enemy.
"If I wanted to hurt you, I wouldn't be here now. Hu Jian's face was still calm.
Xiaopang didn't seem to understand Hu Jian's words, and was about to speak, when Dapeng on the side waved his hand at him, looked at Xiaobai on Hu Jianjian, carrying a black stick, he didn't seem to be a bad person, and said to Hu Jian, "Who do you want to ask?"
"An old man who looks to be in his 70s, with a pipe pinned to his waist, and the pipe is a meter long," Hu Jian described Zhang Guang's characteristics.
"We haven't seen this person, we are training in the martial arts arena every day, but if this person comes, Uncle Yun must know that he is responsible for guarding the Black Wind Village, and any outsider will have to pass his level. Dapeng frowned, paused and spoke.
"Let's go, go see your Uncle Yun. Hu Jian nodded slightly when he heard this, and looked at Dapeng.
Dapeng also nodded, walked ahead, the three of them walked a few kilometers on the path, and then stopped in front of a muddy and thatched broken house, the window paper on the windows of this house was in tatters, and the dusty cobwebs were wrapped around it, apparently abandoned for a long time.
As if hearing the movement, a 13 or 4-year-old girl ran at the door and looked here, her body was dirty, but her eyes were bright and delicate, and she looked very beautiful, giving people a sense of freshness and refinement that came out of the mud without staining.
"Brother Dapeng, you're back. The girl looked at Dapeng and said softly.
"Well, how is Uncle Yun. Hearing this, Dapeng agreed, and walked towards the house.
Inside the house, Hu Jian looked at the empty room, a man in his 40s was lying on the ground paved with thatch, there were still a few traces of blood on the thatch, a piece of gauze stained red by blood was wrapped on his chest and abdomen, and a towel was put on his head, looking unconscious.
The girl took a yellowed towel from a wooden basin, replaced the towel on the big man's head, and stood aside, her brows furrowed, her face gloomy, and she looked pitiful.
"Let me see, I have a decent medicine that should work. Hu Jian broke the silence in the room and spoke.
Hearing this, Dapeng let go of the hand holding Dahan and stepped aside. Chubby changes his pants outside the house and is not inside the house.
Hu Jian walked to the big man's side, squatted down, looked at the man's pale face, and then untied the blood-stained gauze between his chest and abdomen.
A large wound stretched across the chest and abdomen, the flesh was blurred, the wound was swollen and bulging, and the wound was not flat, as if it had been wounded by some blunt object.
"Uncle Yun was hit by a collapsed house, and a wooden board pierced into the chest and abdomen, but it did not hurt the organs, but the wound has not healed, and we have no money to buy medicine for treatment, so we only do a simple bandage. Dapeng said on the side.
Hu Jian nodded, although the wound was large, it was also a trauma, not particularly serious, he took out the ginseng Lingsan from the cloth bag around his waist, sprinkled it evenly on the surface of the wound, and then bandaged the gauze back.
"It should get better tomorrow. Hu Jian had used this ginseng Lingsan, and knew that the effect of this ginseng Lingsan was very good, and said to the Dapeng behind him.
After saying that, he walked to a corner of the room and sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, as if he had his eyes closed.
And Xiaopang also walked in from the outside at this time, looking at Hu Jian's appearance, walking towards Dapeng and the girl, a group of people whispered something, and several people seemed to have some disputes, but after a while, Dapeng and the girl walked next to Hu Jian, and the girl secretly looked at Xiaobai on Hu Jian's shoulder with her eyes, and seemed to like it very much.
"My name is He Peng, this is my sister He Lan, I don't know what my brother is called?" Dapeng said to Hu Jian.
"Jun Chen. Hu Jian opened his eyes and said lightly.
Saying that, a few people chatted like this, Hu Jian only told He Peng that he was passing by from another city, met a horse thief, and got separated from his grandfather, and the two were going to Citygate to find relatives.
And hearing Hu Jian's words, Dapeng's words were a lot closer, he was originally a villager called Hejia Village in Taiwu Town, and the village was also accidentally looted by horse thieves, he and He Lan escaped by hiding in the cellar, and then heard someone mention the Black Wind Gate, so he ran over.
As for the man in his 40s, his name is He Yun, although he is not related to the two of them, he takes good care of He Peng and He Lan on weekdays, and the man named Xiaopang is He Yun's nephew, named He An. When the ghost old man attacked the Black Wind Gate that day, several people were closest to the gate of the village, and with the help of He Yun, they escaped by luck...
He Peng and Hu Jian talked for a while, but He An on the side saw that his face was ugly, looking at He Lan's appearance, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, as if he felt that he was isolated, he gritted his teeth, turned around and walked out of the broken house...
