The gong is made of copper. Although it is only the size of a palm, it has a heavy texture.
The gong is also made of copper, and the head of the gong is wrapped in a white cloth that has turned yellow and black.
The two things look very old, but they are by no means ordinary. They even gave me the same feeling as when I first saw the big black wooden box and the Nine Arts of Yin Sheng...
It can be seen from He Fei's face that she is particularly afraid of these two things.
"Do you know him?" I asked with a frown.
"The watchman's gongs and drums, I knew that Kong Qing must be related to our "companion", but I didn't expect... to be the watchman..." He Zhi looked wary, but his tone was more solemn.
"Watchman?" I had more doubts in my eyes.
He Zhi nodded. She motioned for me to continue walking. While pointing the way, she told me in a low voice that we were corpse collectors, ghost women, even ghost collectors, corpse collectors, and coffin bearers... this vote The profession of eating the dead is called the lower class, and watchmen are included among them.
I was stunned for a moment. In fact, this was not just the first time I heard the words "low-grade".
I may have heard of these professions mentioned by He Pheasant, or I may have never heard of them.
He Zhi seemed to notice my doubts, paused for a moment and said: "First-rate witch, second-rate prostitute, third-rate master, fourth-rate banger, fifth-rate barber, sixth-rate blower, seventh-rate actor, eighth-rate street caller, and ninth-rate candy seller."
"The lower class is not a specific category. For example, a first-class witch can include witches, corpse collectors, and even ghost-catchers."
He Zhi's explanation made it clear to me a lot.
A moment ago, I was still thinking about the professions she mentioned. It was difficult to match up with the lower class, but now it is much clearer.
He Fei continued: "The watchman belongs to the fourth-rate bangers of the lower ninth class, and he monopolizes them. That lineage is terrible. Kong Qing is probably not a watchman yet, but he has the gongs and drums of a watchman. This matter is not simple. We have to careful."
I became more vigilant. Although I still didn't understand it well enough, I also understood the seriousness of the matter.
He Zhi glanced at the big black wooden box on my back, and then asked me to put the cloth bag in it. She held it in hand. Ordinary people couldn't see anything, but if you met an expert, you would know it at a glance.
I immediately took the bag and put it into the big black wooden box without saying a word.
He Zhi continued to guide her, and I kept supporting her for about half an hour.
The streets around us started to become familiar, and we arrived outside the Huo family's house.
It had just dawned here, and the sky was white, and a hint of the early sun could be seen vaguely.
I knocked on the door of Huo's house. The servant who opened the door immediately showed a respectful look and invited us into the house.
We bypassed the martial arts arena inside the gate from the side corridor and went directly to the main room.
The servant asked us to sit down for a while. We should wait a while before their master came back.
I was a little confused, Huo Kunmin should be in the hospital.
I immediately asked the servant and learned that Huo Feng came back last night and notified the personnel to go to the hospital to protect Huo Kunmin.
Huo Kunmin doesn't want to stay in the hospital. After the injury is treated, he will return to Huo's house and will bring a doctor with him.
I relaxed a little and motioned to the servant to get some hot food for He Zhi and I. I told him again that when we finished eating, we would arrange a place to rest. We would meet again when Huo Kunmin came back.
After the servant left respectfully, not long after, someone brought soup and steaming steamed buns.
I was very hungry and almost wolfed down the food. He Zhi ate the steamed buns in small bites and drank a bowl of soup. I felt better, and He Zhi's complexion became a lot more rosy.
After we had breakfast, the servant came to take us to rest.
This time, He Zhi and I were arranged in a private garden behind the Huo family. There were several guest rooms here, similar to the layout in the villa.
After sending He Pheasant to his room to rest, I also entered a guest room.
After I got into bed and lay down, I felt pain everywhere on my body. Fortunately, I was very sleepy and exhausted, so I fell into a deep sleep soon.
I don’t know how long I slept. When I woke up, there was a lot of sunlight coming in, which was dazzling and ironing.
I rubbed my brows and stood up, my thoughts became much more active.
I twisted my neck a little and stretched my muscles. After getting out of bed, I put the big black wooden box on my back and hurried to open the door.
In fact, the big black wooden box is not light in weight and is a bit troublesome, but what happened in the past few days has made it clear to me that I have to take food with me at all times, otherwise I will be very passive when I encounter trouble.
I pushed the door open and went out, only to see a person standing in the yard. Isn't this Huo Feng?
He held it with his hands, his sleeves covering his arms, and his eyes were bloodshot.
When I looked at him, he also looked up at me, and suddenly there was joy on his face.
"Mr. Li, the head of the family is back and waiting for you in the main room." Huo Feng hurried forward and spoke very fast.
I glanced at He Zhi's door and hesitated for a moment. Instead of waking up He Zhi, I motioned to Huo Feng to take me to see Huo Kunmin.
He Zhi's leg was injured. She had been busy last night, and she was tired from traveling and traveling. She could rest now, so there was no need to wake her up now.
Huo Feng also glanced at He Zhi's door, but he didn't say much else and hurriedly led me out of the garden.
Not long after, we arrived at the main room in front of the martial arts arena.
Huo Kunmin was sitting on the Taishi's chair in the room. His arms were wrapped with bandages, and there was a sling around his neck, hanging on his forearm. However, this was much better than the miserable situation last night.
He stood up in a hurry, looked at me with burning eyes, and immediately asked: "Mr. Li, how is it? Kong Qing ran away? Still hasn't come back. Didn't you meet him?"
I took a deep breath and asked Huo Kunmin to sit down first. After a moment of silence, I frowned and said, Kong Qing didn't run away, but he couldn't be caught.
Huo Kunmin also raised his eyebrows, and then said that if Kong Qing's skills were difficult to deal with, he could send someone.
I shook my head and told Huo Kunmin truthfully that the reason Kong Qing couldn't run away was because he committed suicide last night.
I didn't hide it from Huo Kunmin. I told the truth that Kong Qing should not die and would become a very vicious living corpse.
And I also told me what Kong Qing told me, including how Huo Zhiguo died, Kong Qing's motive for killing him, and how his current wife Qi Si harmed people and was killed.
After I finished speaking, Huo Kunmin sat down on the Grand Master's chair with a bang, his whole body completely lost.
At this time, apart from Huo Kunmin and me, Huo Feng was the only one in the main room.
Huo Feng hurried to Huo Kunmin's side, and while persuading him in a low voice, he slightly supported his shoulders.
I looked at Huo Kunmin with a slightly complicated look, but I didn't ask any more questions.
Just tell him not to let anyone get close to where Kong Qing lives.
As for his current wife, I will find a way to get her.
Huo Kunmin's face was stunned. He was silent for a long time before whispering: "I can't help Kong Xiang, I can't help Zhiguo, but I can't help myself."
"When she first left, I wanted to save the Huo family. We still have a son, but now, the son is gone. After the Huo family is broken...what do I ask for?"
At this point, Huo Kunmin's eyes suddenly flashed with fierceness.
