Volume 1: Abandoned Land Chapter 10: Little Silver
"Master, this way!"
As the waiter spoke, he passed through a row of sycamore trees and turned into an alley. It was already dark now, and every household held lights. From some low-walled courtyards nearby, there came from time to time the laughter of children or the voices of parents and relatives.
The nagging sound gave Kong Laosan a feeling that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
The alleys here are like a maze. If someone hadn't led the way, Kong Laosan would have been lost. After turning three alleys, Xiao Er turned to the left and stopped in front of an old sycamore tree.
"This is the house. Xiao Yinzi and his brother live here. These two people lost their parents when they were young. They are also pitiful people."
Kong Laosan looked carefully at the old tung tree on his left. He didn't know how old it was. Some urchins around him had carved some crooked writing on the trunk. The door panel was in tatters, and a stick was vaguely visible behind the door.
Looking up, the surrounding walls are solid and made of clay, and they look like they have been recently renovated.
The waiter was not polite, he went up and knocked on the door twice, and then there were several dog barks in the yard. But after a while, he heard a rush of footsteps from behind the door, and the waiter had not spoken yet.
, the two wooden doors were opened with a crash, and Xiao Yinzi was holding a stick in his hand, looking at Kong Laosan and Kong Laosan with sorrow and indignation.
"Xiao Xiaoyinzi, what are you doing?"
The waiter was slightly startled, and subconsciously jumped behind Kong Laosan, with only one head exposed, and spoke with some worry.
"It's you guys. I thought it was those idiots from Yifanmen who came to the door. Please come in quickly. Please come in quickly."
Xiao Yinzi said, seeming to let out a long sigh of relief, and quickly greeted Kong Laosan and the other two to come in. The waiter looked at Kong Laosan, then waved his hand and said, "This young man has an old relationship with the iron gang leader of the Shuiyan Gang.
I want to find out some information from you. I don’t mean any harm. I have something to do in the store, so I’ll go back now!”
As the waiter said this, he habitually threw the white scarf in his hand over his shoulder and trotted away.
After hearing what the waiter said, Xiao Yinzi looked at Kong Laosan in surprise, as if he had some doubts, and stood in front of Kong Laosan for a while without any intention of greeting him.
"Don't worry, let's not talk about other things for now. I heard that your brother was injured. If you don't mind, I can go and have a look first. I learned some medical skills from a traveling Taoist, and I should be able to deal with ordinary injuries.
It works!"
After hearing what Kong Laosan said, Xiao Yinzi hesitated for a moment. Seeing that Kong Laosan did not look like a bad person, he invited Kong Laosan into the house.
The yard where Xiao Yinzi lived was quite large, with only two rooms in it. A skinny wolf dog was tied to a dead willow trunk in the east, barking at Kong Laosan.
As Xiao Yinzi walked into the south room, Kong Laosan saw a thin figure lying on the bed at a glance. He was sixteen or seventeen years old. He was wrapped in medical tapes. However, the injuries were really serious, and these medical tapes were soaked in blood.
Looks like a bloody mummy.
The room was slightly dark, with only one oil lamp on, and a bit deserted.
"My brother is a confidant of the leader of the Iron Gang of the Shuiyan Gang. He was brought here this morning and is still unconscious. Master, if there is any way to save my brother's life, I am willing to exchange it with my own life.
!”
As Xiao Yinzi spoke, he started to cry. The two brothers had been dependent on each other since childhood, and their relationship was naturally very deep. Seeing that his brother was so seriously injured, he was a little at a loss for a while.
Kong Laosan came to the bedside and placed his fingers on Xiao Yu'er's pulse. After a moment, he frowned and stopped Xiao Yinzi who wanted to say something. He took out a medicine bottle from the bag hanging on his waist.
"Your brother mainly suffered from excessive blood loss. This bottle of blood energy pill can restore the blood energy. In addition, I also have some healing medicine here. Melt it into a bowl of water and cover all his wounds. He should be able to rest for a month.
get well!"
Kong Laosan said, throwing the medicine bottle in his hand to Xiao Yinzi, and taking out a thumb-sized green bottle from his arms, placing it on the table, "Can you tell me something about the Iron Gang Leader now?"
Xiao Yinzi was stunned by Kong Laosan's series of actions. After hearing these words, Xiao Yinzi looked at Xiao Yu'er on the bed, gritted his teeth and said, "You must promise not to be disadvantageous to the leader of the Iron Gang, otherwise
Otherwise I"
"You brothers are very loyal to this Iron Gang leader. Haha, I promise, I still don't know if this Iron Gang leader is the person I'm looking for. If not, I won't bother to take care of the business between these gangs!"
Kong Laosan said, found a stool and sat down.
"When our brothers were about to starve to death, it was the Iron Gang leader who saved us. My brother said that the grace of saving lives must be repaid with life. Anyone who wants to do harm to the Iron Gang leader should step over the bodies of our two brothers first.
."
Xiao Yinzi said in a serious tone. Seeing Kong Laosan's assurance, he seemed to feel at ease and told everything he knew about the Iron Gang leader. As for why his brother was killed by the people from the Yifan Clan,
If it's cut like this, I don't know.
"So, this Iron Gang leader came from somewhere else about seven or eight years ago? Do you know where this Iron Gang leader lives?"
Kong Laosan suppressed the ups and downs in his heart and asked with a calm face.
"I know, but that place belongs to the Shuiyan Gang's sphere of influence, and ordinary people can't enter at all."
Before Xiao Yinzi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Kong Laosan, "If you want to take care of your brother, just tell me the specific location. You don't have to worry about other things!"
Less than half an hour later, after Kong Laosan left some money, he left Xiao Yinzi's house and headed directly to the east end of Yu'er City. According to Xiao Yinzi, the headquarters of the Shuiyan Gang was there.
An hour later, the surrounding houses gradually became sparse. They were surrounded by high-walled courtyards, which did not look like they were used for people to live in, but more like some gathering halls. Kong Laosan walked to a secluded place, but he was not there.
Moving forward, he stopped, turned around, glanced at the eaves and said, "Your Excellency has been with you all the way from the east to the inn. Don't you plan to come out and see me now?"
After Kong Laosan finished speaking, there was no movement around him. Upon seeing this, Kong Laosan snorted coldly and was not polite. He turned his hand over and a piece of talisman paper fell into his hand. Just as he was about to take it out, a slightly undulating voice came from
Came from behind the eaves on the left, "Slow down!"
At the same time as the voice fell, the figure had already turned over and came to Kong Laosan during the ups and downs. His Qinggong and body skills were extremely superb, and the person who came was actually a martial artist.
Seeing this, Kong Laosan couldn't help but secretly be on guard. Although it would not pose a threat to him as long as he had not reached the realm of a first-class warrior, he still had to use his full strength to fight the lion and the rabbit, and he did not want to capsize in the gutter.
The person in front of me is dressed as a scribe, in his thirties, with a palm-sized piece of blue gauze covering his bun, and a sword on his back. He is the person he just met in the Donglai Inn. At this moment, the middle-aged scribe actually
He stared at Kong Laosan with a passionate look on his face, a look of extreme longing flashing across his face.
Kong Laosan was a little disgusted by this scene, but his face was calm and he slowly said, "I'm a little curious. Your Excellency and I have never met. Why did you come along the way? If you can't tell me what to do,
The reason is convincing, I don’t mind killing one more person!”
As he spoke, he gently rubbed the talisman paper in his hand, as if he was going to sacrifice it at the next moment. The person in front of him was not weak, and he should be famous in the world, but Kong Laosan didn't know much about these world affairs, and he had no idea.
Just judge.
"I'm Su Hongzhen!"
The middle-aged scribe clasped his hands in fists and stared at Kong Laosan's face. Seeing that the latter's expression did not waver at all when he heard his name, a trace of surprise flashed across Su Hong's face.
"Let's talk about your purpose!"
After hearing what Kong Laosan said, the middle-aged scribe smiled bitterly, "Since I left Nanjian Villa, I, Su Hongzhen, have been seeking to break through the inherited skills of high-level warriors. However, there are too few high-level warriors in the world to be able to achieve this.
The inherited skills of top-level warriors are controlled by those aristocratic families, and there are very few of them living in the world."
Having said this, Su Hongzhen paused and glanced in the direction of Kong Laosan. Seeing that the latter's expression was still calm and incomprehensible, he suddenly made a move that caught Kong Laosan off guard and directly
He knelt down in front of him and said, "There is no priority in learning, and the master is the master. I, Su Hong, am really obsessed with martial arts, and I hope the master can teach me!"
Su Hongzhen said, and kowtowed before Kong Laosan could react. The bluestone floor made a "bang bang" sound, and he was very interested in becoming a disciple. However, Kong Laosan frowned when he heard what Su Hongzhen said. Even though Kong Laosan
There is something absurd about Lao San's old-fashioned character. Once upon a time, he followed the Taoist, pretending to be crazy and stupid every day for a small life, and had to endure the Taoist's beatings and scoldings all the time. Now it seems like a dream.
