Dark Fairy

Chapter 9
Three days later, Bailang went to the medical hall to change his medicine again.Just now the doctor told him that the wound is recovering very well, and also praised him that he is different from ordinary people in this respect. The wound that was not necessarily healed in more than a month, now started to scab in less than ten days.Said he was an animal in the knife shop.

In the end, the doctor told Bailang that it would be extremely itchy in the next few days, so he told Bailang not to scratch, and if he couldn't take it anymore, he could apply a cold compress with a veil soaked in cold water.

Of course, the doctor didn't know that Bailang already had a way to resist the itching of the injury.That is to practice "Qi Yang Jue".Because he found that the "Qi" produced by "Nursing Qi Jue" can travel around the meridians of the whole body, giving him a cool and refreshing feeling, which can effectively suppress the itching of the wound.

And yesterday, the knife shop gave him a reward of ten taels for his meritorious service in stopping Bailang before, and also distributed him a serious short knife.Because even though Bailang's talent is mediocre, his victory lies in his young age. Judging from his previous performance in the East Market, it will definitely not be a problem to be a low-ranking knife within two or three years.So the short knife was given in advance, as a reward, it can also be regarded as a sign of the knife shop's optimism towards Bailang.

After leaving the knife shop, Bailang went to the cloth shop, and pulled cloth to make new clothes for himself and the two younger ones.And it is the kind of thick clothes filled with cotton.It's almost the coldest time of the year, and with this new suit, I should feel less suffering.

After finishing his work, Bailang stopped at the door of his house.There were two people standing at the door, and when they saw him coming back, they smiled and nodded at him, obviously they were looking for him.

It's just that the arrival of these two people made the hairs on Bailang's back stand upside down, and he felt inexplicably terrified.After being stunned for a moment, he hid the horror and insecurity in his heart, at least not letting them appear on his face and manner.

"Bai Lang has met these two adults!"

Bailang walked over quickly, and bowed quickly after a distance of more than ten feet.As he cupped his hands, he was full of doubts: Why did the blood guards from these two state capitals come to him? !
The two people in front of Bailang had blood-red signs hanging around their waists.One of them was Li Jiang, the head of the blood guard who had saved his life in the East Market a few days ago.

"Bai Lang, hehe, it looks like you are in good health and recovering quickly. I happened to come over here. I heard you live here, so I stopped by to take a look."

"Bailang hasn't thanked Mr. Li for saving his life that day!" While talking about Bailang, he took two steps closer and bowed deeply again.This is not a lie, if it weren't for Li Jiang, even if he relied on "extreme concentration" to resist a few tricks that day, he might not be able to make it to the arrival of the people behind the knife shop.The result can only be serious injury or death.

"It's just a matter of effort, no need to remember."

Afterwards, Bailang opened the door and welcomed Li Jiang and the two into the room.Make tea in a hurry.

"The two adults, Haihan, are struggling at home, and they only have this kind of rough tea, so it's not surprising."

"Hehe, it's okay. Sit down, firstly, I'm here to see how your injury is recovering, and secondly, I have some things to ask you."

Bai Lang then took a stool and sat down beside him, and said with a cautious look: "You two adults, if you have anything to ask, just ask, and the younger one will definitely know everything!"

Li Jiang smiled and said, "You are quite good at talking. Have you ever studied before?"

"I haven't read it, but I have been on the street for a long time, and I have learned some from myself. I can barely read, write, and write, which made the two adults laugh."

Li Jiang and the deputy chief who came with him looked at each other.They all seemed to think that Bailang was something special.Although he was quite nervous and cramped in front of them, he spoke in a well-founded manner, neither humble nor overbearing, and taught himself to read and write. The key age should be fifteen or sixteen years old.This can already be called "unbelievable" for a street wanderer.

"It's not bad that you can learn to read and write by yourself! By the way, you were able to handle a few moves against a seventh-rank warrior in the market that day. It is really rare given your cultivation and the situation at that time. Your sword technique is the best in your sword shop. taught?"

"Yes, Master Li, it's the "Ten Styles of the Tiger Saber" issued by the knife shop."

"Tsk, did anyone specifically teach you how to use the sword with this name? Or did you teach yourself?"

"Hey, practice blindly."

Self-study again?Self-taught to be able to practice a roadside knife technique to the point where you can surpass the level of two to fight against the enemy?Genius?
Of course, this can only be said to surprise Li Jiang and the two, but it is not the purpose of their visit.

"If you were self-taught, how did you practice? Did you practice in a knife studio? Or somewhere else?" Li Jiang seemed to be particularly curious about Bai Lang.I want to understand even small things like practicing swordsmanship.

But even this seemingly innocuous question, a common question driven by Li Jiang's curiosity, made Bai Lang sweat on his back.

"My lord was joking. The school in the sword hall is not big, and a street wanderer like me is not qualified to go there. There is no room here at home, so I can only go out of the city to practice. Just the woods on the east side."

"Oh? When do you usually practice?"

"Generally, Fa goes there after dinner, and returns after an hour of practice."

"Do you go every day?"

"Not necessarily. But basically nine out of ten days will pass." Bailang answered quickly, because he didn't lie and didn't plan to lie.In an instant, what he wanted to bet on was that the other party couldn't catch his flaws.In other words, it is impossible to be sure that he is related to the man in black and the clay figurine that day.

"Then on the third day of this month, did you go to the woods outside the east city to practice swords?"

"Third year?" Bailang thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "I went. That day was the day of rolling accounts, I remember, I went there after dinner to practice swords.

Two adults, is there something wrong? "

Bailang's reaction was very natural, nothing unusual at all.In fact, Li Jiang had already found out what he said just now from other sources.The purpose of coming here today to ask questions is to use force to overwhelm others, put Bailang under psychological pressure and test him at the same time, to see if Bailang will show anything wrong.But at least not for now.

"Hehe, we came to Yongchuan City to chase a person. That person passed by the woods outside Dongcheng on the night of the third year of junior high school. We concluded that the person stayed in the woods for a while based on the blood stains at that time. Counting the time , it should be possible to collide with you during that time. Did you see anything?"

Bailang shook his head directly and said: "No. Sir, the woods are not small. Will you not run into the little ones?"

Li Jiang looked at Bailang without saying a word, and the invisible pressure was overwhelming.So much so that after a while, Bailang's teeth began to chatter, and he was overwhelmed.But he still kept saying "My lord believes in me" repeatedly in his mouth, and seemed to be terrified.

It took a full cup of tea for Li Jiang to put away his aura.At this time, Bailang had already slumped on the ground.

"Hehe, Bailang, please do it yourself." After Li Jiang finished speaking, he got up and left with a cold face.

As soon as he left the door, Li Jiang turned to look at the deputy chief beside him, and asked, "Did you find anything there?"

"Returning to the adults, the result of following him is the same as before. Neither Bailang nor his family has any reaction to the ban on clay figurines."
