Chapter 272: The Knife Breaks the Blade
After the man left, He Shuangdao fixed his mind, and the appearance of those subordinates did not stop him, only vaguely saw an indescribable smile, He Shuangdao tightened his Shuangdao skin, and stepped into the atrium of the Taoist temple. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The atrium is spacious, there are a few bamboo tables and chairs, against the west wall is a row of medicine jars, boiling soup, a few people are carefully taking care of it, the fragrance of medicine is wafting outside; at the foot of the east wall there is a row of bamboo pole hangers, there are vines climbing on it, there are also a few people pruning, the cut vine leaves are packed in a basket, held and brought to the backyard, I don't know what to do.
In the middle of the courtyard, in addition to a few wounded patients, there were two other people, a man and a woman, the man was dressed in a wide-sleeved crane, and was checking the pulse of the patient, asking about the condition in a whisper;
Seeing this scene, He Shuangdao didn't rush to do it, although he was a jackal in the He family gang who was responsible for doing dirty work, he was not the kind of person who had no eyesight and no knowledge. The group of people who practice medicine in this dilapidated Taoist temple are not ordinary practitioners.
After these people saw He Shuangdao, they were not like the opponents He Shuangdao had met in the past, either frightened and begging for mercy, or forced to be angry, but were very calm and calm, and even had a little contempt and disregard for He Shuangdao.
After this group of patients left, taking advantage of a little leisure, He Shuangdao hurriedly stepped forward and shouted in a low voice: "Who are you? Why did you come to White Emperor City to practice medicine?"
At this time, the crane man seemed to know the existence of He Shuangdao, and turned around a little stunned: "Are you asking me?"
"Who else could it be, if not?"
The crane man clenched his fist at He Shuangdao, then looked He Shuangdao up and down, and nodded slightly with his chin in his hand: "Good muscles and bones, it's a pity, it's just that the temperament is a little ruthless." ”
"You haven't answered my question yet. He Shuangdao asked twitching at the corner of his eyes.
"Oh, yes, yes, yes!" the man struck his forehead with his hand, "We're just passing by, if we have to say it's a footman." As for why he practiced medicine in White Emperor City...... If I can't cure the patient, why should I practice medicine?"
There seemed to be a flame churning in He Shuangdao's chest: "Don't show me your tongue here!" The White Emperor City has the rules of the White Emperor City, and those who open a museum to practice medicine here will be paid a monthly ...... Twenty taels of silver!"
The crane man seemed to be startled, leaned back slightly, and then turned to look at the woman in the red dress, who covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, without making a sound. The crane man paced back and forth, and said to He Shuangdao: "This...... Twenty taels of silver, I do have it, but will it be too much? Twenty taels of silver a month for a medical center? How much work does this have to do? How many people inside and outside the White Emperor City get sick and take medicine every month to maintain the livelihood of the medical center? Is it a good thing that the city is full of sick people? If it is not so, it means that the people will pay for the expensive doctors and medicines, and in the end it will be the people who will be miserable! It is not proper, it is not ...... proper."
The amount of twenty taels of silver, of course, was said by He Shuangdao at will, but in fact, he himself didn't know how much a medical clinic would cost every month, so he only said it with intuition. Either force the other party to spit out so much money, and you can earn it by the way, or the other party refuses to accept it, and that is the time for He Shuangdao to go out of the knife.
He Shuangdao saw that the crane man was reluctant, and hugged his arms in front of his chest, this action was convenient for him to pull out the double knife under his ribs at any time, and listened to him ask again: "I'll give you one last chance, pay the regular money every month, and save your life!"
The man was unrelenting, and he talked a lot of nonsense: "No, no, no, the White Emperor City belongs to the territory of the Chu State, if the soldiers of the government office come to collect taxes, then I have nothing to say." But you rely on the power of the He Family Gang in White Emperor City to force the merchants to hand over the regular money, and there will be a problem. This is beyond the laws of a kingdom and has only made the people miserable.
Along the way, I found that although the people of the Chu State worked hard, they could barely get food and clothing, so how did they get to the area around the White Emperor City as if they were separated from the world? Thinking about it, I am afraid that this is the means and strategy of the Emperor of the Chu State! I deliberately indulged the corrupt law in the White Emperor City, and when the time was ripe, they raided their families and exterminated the clan in one fell swoop, and the He family in the White Emperor City accumulated wealth for many years for the use of the Emperor of the Chu State, and naturally made a lot of money, do you say ......?"
He Shuangdao's teeth were clenched, he really couldn't listen to it anymore, he didn't say what the crane man said was right or wrong, but his nonsense was endless, with He Shuangdao being silent and lonely, it was like a few lifetimes of words heard today, like a magic sound in his ears, even if he didn't come out of the family, he would cut this guy today.
I only heard the sound of Cang Chang's double knives coming out of the sheath, He Shuangdao didn't open his mouth to shout, and the double knives suddenly slashed towards the crane man like a continuous arc.
He Shuangdao is quick to make a knife, this is where he has always been confident, double knife for speed, move first, often when the double knife cuts the other party, the knife himself is noticed. In order to pursue such a realm, He Shuangdao worked hard to hone his muscles and bones, and honed his martial arts, and finally reached it.
However, today's knife, but there is no such trick in the first subtle sense, but He Shuangdao's own perception has become extremely sensitive, and the five senses and six senses seem to have surpassed the limitations of the body, even if the line of sight is not focused on the double knife, but the trajectory and destination of the double knife are clearly in the heart and in front of the eyes.
But the one who was faster and sharper than his own consciousness was the crane man in front of him. After He Shuangdao took out the knife, the figure of the man was motionless, but in He Shuangdao's perception, the robe on the man's body was windless and automatic, and in the state when the blade castration became sluggish, the wide sleeves of the crane naturally rolled.
The surface of the wide sleeves is moire, as if there is a clear scene of mountains and rivers and a sea of clouds flying in front of you, accompanied by the wide sleeves flying, gently sweeping on the double knife.
He Shuangdao clearly noticed that his double knives were directly swept off by the soft sleeves, and the double knives gradually bent from the straight, to the blade, and then to the steel core in the knife that could not bear the male strength, emitting a subtle tremor that smelled unpleasant in both ears, and then broke and shattered. Many small blade crumbs flew out, accompanied by the wide sleeves flying and rolling, and two broken blades flew out, which could be slashed by He Shuangdao's ears, flew to the beams and pillars under the eaves of the atrium, and nailed in.
The sluggish and slow state only lasted for a moment, but this moment became extremely long in He Shuangdao's perception, and finally nailed into the eaves with a broken blade, and the whole process was an action of He Shuangdao's knife.
The children of the He family who were sneaking in the front yard didn't know what was happening, and no one noticed the broken blade nailed to the eaves of their heads. (To be continued.) )
