Before dawn, the person Xia Shang had been waiting for finally returned.
Along with him was a dying young man.
Shang Rong's trip was uneventful. Even though there were several fights, none of them were masters. As expected, he rescued his senior brother easily without causing any trouble.
Although Senior Brother Shang Rong was rescued, he was seriously injured, his consciousness was confused, his eyes were lifeless, there were many shocking scars on his body, and his skin and flesh were torn everywhere.
Shang Rong had no time to take a closer look before. After she rescued her senior brother Xia Shang and put him on the bed, she was so angry and heartbroken that she burst into tears.
"What a vicious thief! How did he abuse my senior brother?"
Xia Shang looked at it, frowned and said: "Such an injury cannot be cured by a few silver needles. It needs medicine to be applied externally or taken internally, otherwise I am afraid I will die."
"What should we do?" Shang Rong's face turned red with anxiety and shook his senior brother, "Senior brother, can you hear me?"
The person on the bed didn't respond at all and only moved his fingers slightly.
This man Xia Shang must be saved because he may know Shangguanchan's whereabouts.
Xia Shang thought for a while: "You wait here while I go out and find a solution."
After going out, the sun first appeared one day. Last night, Qianqian was humming and singing by the lake not far away. I don’t know when I fell asleep on the spot.
Xia Shang went to wake her up and asked: "Qianqian, do you know where there is medicine in the water village?"
Nodding lightly.
Xia Shang gave her another note: "Go and get the medicine according to what is written on it. Just say that I caught a cold last night and need medicine to treat my illness."
Without thinking, Qian Qian rubbed her eyes and cheered up.
Xia Shang returned to the room: "The medicine will come later, don't be so anxious."
"With only medicine and no doctor, how can we do this? My senior brother is so seriously injured... You, you don't think you can still move to treat the disease, right?"
"In the past, I had a rough understanding of medical science and drugs. Later, I stayed with Zhuo Bufan for a while, but I didn't learn well. I am still confident in treating some skin injuries."
"Are you a disciple of Zhuo Bufan, the magical doctor?"
"Just friends."
Shang Rong was surprised. The person in front of her seemed to know everything, and he was obviously only a little older than herself.
The little doubts in my heart disappeared as my senior brother gradually improved.
After half a day, the confused man regained his consciousness.
His name is Yuan An, he is twenty-seven, and he is a master of the Yin Yang Sword of the Qi Jue sect.
"Seven Absolutes Sect?" This is the first time Xia Shang has heard of it.
Shang Rong frowned and seemed to be dissatisfied with his senior brother in his whisper: "You shouldn't reveal your master's sect."
Yuan An, who had regained consciousness for the first time, said with some difficulty: "It's not a secret at all. If my benefactor wants to know, let him know."
"Then it's possible that my wife is a disciple of the Qijue Sect?"
Shang Rong pondered: "If you use the Yin-Yang Sword, you must come from the same sect, but the Qijue Sect is different from others. We have many disciples. In our Yin-Yang Sword alone, there are three Seven Envoys who teach the sword technique. Which Yin-Yang Sect does your wife Shangguan come from?
There is no way to find out. We can only find out after I return to the master and ask the master for inquiries."
"How long will it take?"
A trace of fatigue flashed in Shang Rong's eyes: "This is my first time in the world, and I have encountered many troubles. If I can leave safely, I would also like to return to the master's school to practice again. Then..."
"Go back?" Yuan An shouted in a low voice on the bed, "How can you and I have the shame to go back to our master before we have avenged our revenge? When I recover from my injuries, I will kill the bandit leader with my own hands and avenge my brothers! Ahem!
…”
Yuan An became emotional and coughed violently on the bed.
Shang Rong saw it and quickly held it down: "Senior brother, don't get excited."
"How can I not be excited?! A group of more than ten people, all friends of my life and death, Yuan An, have agreed to suppress the bandits, but only you and I are left to survive! If you hadn't been playful and separated that day, if you had been there during the battle,
Maybe there won’t be so many people dying now!”
"Senior brother, I..."
Xia Shang frowned after hearing this and wanted to ask him how this group of people managed to rush into the water village alone?
To put it bluntly, it is our own fault that so many people died.
But after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything. Xia Shang was also a little disappointed that he didn't learn any news about Shangguan Chan from the two senior fellow apprentices.
Xia Shang didn't want to get involved in the entanglement between his senior brother and sister, so he left the room and was worried.
Can everything I have laid out be realized as I imagined?
After all, I don’t know what is happening in the outside world, so I make decisions and then act, all based on a kind of arrogant self-confidence.
But even now, Xia Shang still feels uneasy, but this uneasiness is never revealed to others.
At this moment, what happened last night happened in the water village.
The thieves who caused a riot in the water village a few days ago were rescued. Three of the guard brothers died, but the leader was nowhere to be seen.
Someone began to search the water village. When Xia Shang saw them, he hurried back to the house, settled the two people in the house for a while, and wanted to lock Yuan An and Shang Rong in the closet.
When Yuan An heard this, he became furious: "How can a man stoop to seek mercy? If they want to investigate, they will investigate. At worst, we will fight with them!"
This person is really troublesome, Xia Shang said angrily: "I won't stop you if you don't want to kill me, but don't hurt me!"
"My benefactor is also a man of great ambition, why are you so timid? Junior sister, today you and I will fight out of this door..."
"Senior brother, please stop talking." Shang Rong blushed and looked at Xia Shang apologetically, "I'm sorry, my senior brother has caused you trouble."
After that, Shang Rong took matters into her own hands, picked up Yuan An, tapped his acupuncture points, and carried him to the closet.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and it was someone searching.
Xia and Shang had already had countermeasures. They sent the people away with some rhetoric and released Shang Rong and Yuan An.
This move in and out surprised Yuan An.
His junior sister is a person who has her own way of doing things, and her heart is as high as the sky. Who can give orders to her?
Yuan An didn't pay attention to him before, but now his attitude towards this man shows a trace of admiration and admiration.
For some reason, Yuan An felt uncomfortable when he saw the way his junior sister looked at Xia Shang.
Half a day later, Zhao Xiao came back from Changzhou.
I went to Changzhou to track down Mr. Wu and others, but I couldn't find any results, and I felt very depressed.
As soon as I arrived at the water village and heard what happened last night, I became even more furious.
He immediately called Xia Shang to inquire. It seemed that all these strange things were related to this person.
Xia Shang went to the big tent to listen to Zhao Xiao's questions, and Yuan An was discussing with Shang Rong.
"Junior sister, now that my injury has eased, we have to find an opportunity to leave here."
"This matter is not urgent. Mr. Xia must have made arrangements. If we act without permission, it may be counterproductive."
Shang Rong was sure, but Yuan An frowned: "What plans does he have? Have he told you?"
"Never."
"Then how do you get it?"
"Although Mr. Xia didn't explain the details, he said that he would ask this thief to send us off respectfully in the near future."
"What? Let the thief leader send us away? Junior sister, do you think this is ridiculous?"
Shang Rong did laugh, but she smiled very calmly: "If someone else said it, it would be a fantasy, but if it comes from Mr. Xia, it must be true." (To be continued)
