It was past noon, and Fu Yunge walked out of a noisy tavern, raising his hands to block the dazzling sunlight, and looking around aimlessly.
"Well...there's basically no useful information."
He scratched his head sadly. Although they chose to work separately in order to expand the scope, the more this happened, the more anxious they became at this time.
However, what Yue Shenchen and the two said was true.
This morning, the Buyuanfang murder case has spread everywhere, but there is not much valuable news, and there are many rumors. After half a day, except for some bits and pieces of information, he basically understood which store had better tea.
That senior from Zuichen Township didn't seem to take him seriously either, which was indeed a frustrating thing. If he doesn't make some achievements, he is really worried that one day he will become a drag on everyone.
"well……"
The more he thought about it, the more confused his mind became, and the less mood he had to look for clues about those big men.
Fu Yunge walked around slowly, looking at the sprouting willows on the bank with empty eyes, his thoughts in a trance.
The day gradually passed and evening came again, but Fu Yunge found nothing noteworthy except walking around in a daze.
The afterglow of the setting sun illuminated his face red, and the sunset was so beautiful. There were wild birds chirping from time to time on the low mountains in the distance, but he was in no mood to appreciate it. His heart seemed to be covered with a layer of soot, and he felt depressed.
I don’t know what new developments they have made. Fu Yunge thought dullly in his heart.
He knew that those partners were even worse than him, so he definitely didn't need to worry. He twisted his stiff neck, took a long breath, and prepared to turn back in the direction of Zui Chen's hometown.
When he just turned around, a hurried pedestrian happened to pass by him and accidentally bumped into his shoulder.
The man was quite strong. Fu Yunge couldn't help but let out an "ouch" and almost knocked him to his feet.
"Sorry, I was in such a hurry." The man hurriedly turned his head and apologized, speeding up and walking away.
Fu Yunge's eyes did not remain blank. He noticed something, something that was not unsuspicious.
The long brown cloth bag behind the pedestrian seemed to be stained with blood!
Although it was almost evening and the sky was dark, Fu Yunge kept observing intently and basically confirmed that it was blood stains.
Inside the long bag, there were probably weapons such as swords. Moreover, this person was in a hurry, so it was very possible that... something happened!
The man's whereabouts could no longer be traced. Fu Yunge immediately turned his head to look alertly, and suddenly noticed something.
The direction the man came from was exactly the direction of Buyuanfang where the accident occurred.
Buyuanfang! Fu Yunge suddenly cleared the clouds and saw the sun in his mind.
The murder occurred in Buyuanfang, so Buyuanfang will definitely have more information at this time. For example, survivors or surrounding residents can provide valuable information.
And if the man just now is an accomplice of the big man from before, then he may be destroying the surviving evidence before others! He had actually ignored this problem before!
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, he immediately trotted towards the street port. It's not about "taking credit", but based on his hatred for those murderers. He must save the survivors and keep the evidence before that happens.
I hope that person just now is not the villain who took the lead. Fu Yunge thought like this, his figure stretched longer and longer by the afterglow.
…………
Buyuanfang, the home of hard work in the past, turned into a desolate ruin overnight.
Outside the charred abandoned land, several rows of scattered small grass tents had been set up. This was a temporary refuge for the survivors.
Fragments of paper money on the street were mixed with carbon-black ash, and they were fluttering in the air along with the twilight wind. From time to time, dark crows screamed "yaaa" and flapped their messy wings from the chaotic night sky. fly by.
A faint candlelight flickered in the thatched tent, looking a little warm through the cracks, which seemed to be a bit of comfort. However, the low sobs that continued to come melted into the bleak night, and the grief of losing a loved one penetrated the clouds and cracked stones, and kept rushing into Dongfang Shiming's eardrums.
At this time, Dongfang Shiming stood alone under the archway of Buyuanfang, looking solemn.
Underfoot were green bricks scorched by the fire. Facing the mess, all that lingered in my mind were the sad faces I encountered during the day, which I couldn't get rid of for a long time.
He didn't want to go back like this, he told himself that he couldn't go back like this.
The cold wind blew, and Dongfang Shiming trembled slightly, but he still stood firmly.
According to his speculation, the surviving people here are likely to be the targets of the gang of villains to continue their extermination. After all, once a jackal chooses to show its dazzling fangs in the dark, it will be extremely evil.
And if "they" have the clue here...
After all, although "that force" hardly poses a threat to them, it is something they cannot ignore...
Dongfang Shiming gradually frowned and looked unconsciously in the direction of the Tianzhu far away in the horizon.
In the distance, there are only the outlines of the mountains under the night cover, and the hazy mist.
On the other side, the wind blew suddenly on the river at night, and the rolling waves hit the boat.
The tung sampan was splashed with water droplets like star beads. Fu Yunge sat on the bow of the boat, his eyes equally firm, pointing in the direction of Buyuanfang like a sharp sword.
…………
"Oh shit……"
The sound of a man's heavy breathing suddenly came from the dry grass field not far from the entrance of Buyuanfang.
Dongfang Shiming turned his ears alertly and suddenly became alert.
The folding fan hidden in his hand revealed its moon-white edge, and he held his breath and paid attention to Kusano where the voice came from.
Soon, a rustling sound came from the dark grass.
Due to extremely poor visibility at night, Dongfang Shiming could not tell who was coming, but he could roughly tell that the person hiding there was injured and had difficulty moving.
Just when Dongfang Shiming was debating whether to go over and help him, something finally rolled out from the grass.
Dongfang Shiming took a closer look, and in the blur of darkness, he could tell that it was a man covered in blood!
Seeing this, he relaxed his guard, but his heart was in suspense, and he quickly ran up to check on the man.
Dongfang Shiming supported the man who was moaning in pain and leaned down to look. He immediately discovered that the man's clothes were torn, his body was still bleeding, and his wounds were deep.
Could it be that those people did it again...?
Dongfang Shiming couldn't help but feel angry. But he tried to calm down first and not think about that. What he should consider now was how to deal with this person's injury.
"This is where……"
The man slurred his bloody lips and asked incoherently.
Dongfang Shiming frowned, gritted his teeth and said, "This is Buyuanfang. You...you are safe."
Just when Dongfang Shiming was about to tear off the cloth strips of his clothes and make an emergency bandage for him, in an instant, an incredible knife was slashed in front of him like thunder!
With a "click" sound, the extremely sharp blade fell to the ground stained with blood.
At the Buyuanfang Pier, Fu Yunge jumped off the boat, gathered up his strength and ran towards Buyuanfang.
The fatal knife barely missed Dongfang Shiming's life.
Dongfang Shiming quickly tilted his head, and the blade accidentally scratched his cheek. At the same time, a strand of hair on the temples was split instantly and flew into the rustling night wind.
Dongfang Shiming jumped back and rolled in an emergency, his clothes covered with mud and black ash.
After standing up, he touched the wound on his face in surprise, his pupils filled with surprise.
The man who was still wailing just now stood up tenaciously. In the blur of night shadows, he looked like a brown bear in the forest, and the brown bear had a hatchet in his hand.
His face indeed showed the ferocious and unbridled expression of a dying beast, twisted and terrifying!
It was obvious that he wanted to kill the boy in front of him before he died.
"Why are you..." Dongfang Shiming was about to speak, but suddenly paused.
He noticed that the man had a round and large silver ring hanging from his ear and a brown-red scab on his scalp. These were the characteristics of the "Old Ao Tou" that Yue Shenchen and the others talked about last night!
The man in front of me is the leader of that group of villains!
"Fucking... dead... all dead..." Old Ao Tou muttered to himself as if in a dream, but his expression became more and more ferocious, like a hungry vulture in the dark night, "Then... I want this cloth too. Yuanfang is completely extinct!"
Dongfang Shiming secretly said something bad, and two bright silver folding fans came out from his sleeves and fell steadily into Dongfang Shiming's hands.
Now it was too late to think about why he was like this, because he had already prepared a risk-taking posture.
"Go to hell!"
With a violent shout, the hatchet in Laotou's hand was already slashing.
Dongfang Shiming stepped back and dodged, but he didn't expect that this old man would still have such strength after suffering such a serious injury.
Two figures suddenly approached, followed by a sharp collision.
Dongfang Shiming took two steps back and unfolded the silver folding fan in his hand, blocking Lao Aotou's fatal blow just now.
Lao Aotou was stunned for a moment. He probably didn't expect that this young man had some abilities. But soon, his eyes were filled with frightening redness, which was even more scorching and terrifying in the dark night.
The wind and waves swept across, and the coldness quietly rose as the two of them clashed again.
Dongfang Shiming drew his bow left and right, and rolled up a folding fan as bright as the crescent moon in his hands, while Lao Aotou's knife was like a pale wolf's fang.
Suddenly, the sword energy approached Dongfang Shiming's throat. Dongfang Shiming waved the folding fan with his left hand to block it, and then slashed down with his right hand. While the two were fighting, the wind and sand swirled up, and the dark night became chaotic.
There was another fierce exchange of weapons, but Dongfang Shiming obviously underestimated Lao Aotou's determination to fight for his life. After a while, his hands were numb and painful from the shock of Lao Aotou's knife, and he could hardly hold the folding fan. Lao Aotou still maintained the ferocity of a beast. He was breathing heavily at the moment, and blood was oozing from the torn wound, but his expression was still ferocious and excited, as if he had lost his sense of pain.
"Come again!"
Suddenly, Lao Aotou roared to the sky again, his unsteady steps raised flying sand, and he killed Dongfang Shiming as fast as he could.
Dongfang Shiming's pupils shrank suddenly. He raised his hands to try to resist, but his hands were already weak at this time, so there was no way he could block Lao Aotou's moves!
After a moment's hesitation, Lao Aotou's hatchet arrived.
