After packing their bags, Situ Fengya and Xihe soon embarked on a journey to Japan. After a full day of flying and a day of car and boat journey, Situ Fengya took Xihe to the southern part of Japan. A small island, but this was not the address Wang Yuchen left on the piece of paper for him. Situ Fengya came here for an ulterior purpose.
"Brother Gui Ya, where are we going?" Xihe has asked this question countless times, but no matter how Xihe asks, the answer given by Situ Fengya is right away, but this time, The answer given by Situ Fengya finally changed a little.
"Here we are, right in front." Situ Fengya stopped, rubbed Xihe's head, and pointed not far away.
"This is..." Xihe looked in the direction pointed by Situ Fengya and saw a village with only a few hundred households, "A small village?"
Xihe frowned. She didn't know why Situ Fengya brought her here. This village was too small, even smaller than the island where she used to live. Although Xihe didn't know what Situ Fengya was looking for. Who, but she always felt that the person they were looking for could not be here.
"Brother Guiya, what are we doing here? Is it possible that the person you are looking for is here?" When a person is used to living in a big house, and then lets him live in a house in the countryside, he will naturally not be used to it, and the same is naturally true for Xihe. , but although the sensible Xihe was a little reluctant, he had no complaints.
"Yes, not entirely." Situ Fengya did not explain much, but took Xihe's hand and went straight to the village.
Most of the villagers here are old people and children. The young or middle-aged people they occasionally see also have some physical defects. When the villagers saw Situ Fengya and Xihe, they were obviously dressed differently from them. Outsiders in the village all stopped what they were doing to watch. Some bold children even wanted to step forward to check, but were quickly stopped by the adults around them.
"This way." Situ Fengya didn't pay attention to their looks, but led Xihe through the village and came to a house that looked like a blacksmith's shop in the deepest part of the village.
The owner of the house was a stooped old man. The old man only had one left leg and one right hand. Both the left and right legs were prosthetic limbs. When Situ Fengya and Xihe walked into the house, the old man was by the fire. He hammered the farm tools in front of him.
"Who?" Hearing the noise coming from outside the house, the old man asked subconsciously, but the movements of his hands showed no intention of stopping. "Are you coming to buy something or repair something? If you want to buy something, just pick it up and take it away. Repair it. If you have something, just leave it at the door and pick it up in two days."
"I'm neither here to buy anything nor to repair anything, but to find someone." Situ Fengya picked up a farm tool, played with it for a while, then put it back to its original place, while replying in Japanese.
"This sound..." When the old man heard Situ Fengya's voice, he subconsciously stopped what he was doing. He dropped the hammer and stood up in a rolling state. When he saw Situ Fengya, a pair of The muddy old eyes were actually filled with tears.
"Benefactor!" Under Xihe's incredulous gaze, the old man stumbled to Situ Fengya, and then knelt down with a plop. What made Xihe even more incredible was that the old man's word "benefactor" was actually in Chinese. He said, "Benefactor, I didn't expect to see you again in the old man's lifetime!" At this moment, the old man burst into tears and was about to kowtow to Situ Fengya as he spoke.
"Senior Xiaoshan, please get up quickly. I can't bear the senior's bow." Seeing the old man's reaction, Situ Fengya was startled and quickly stepped forward to help him. However, the old man's bow also made Situ Fengya Feng Ya recalled the past.
That was not long after he became Xu Yun's official killer. During a mission, he met Xiaoshan who was being hunted. He didn't want to meddle in Xiaoshan's business, but when the people who were chasing Xiaoshan said that he had to It turns out that Xiaoshan is a killer affiliated with the Rising Sun Society, but he did not become a killer voluntarily, but had to join the Rising Sun Society because of his livelihood.
In addition, Situ Fengya also learned from the people who were chasing Xiaoshan that although Xiaoshan was also a killer of the Shengyang Society, he had never killed anyone with his own hands. The only time he went on a mission, he lost his left and right hands. If Xiao Shan's forging skills were not top-notch, he might have been secretly disposed of long ago as a disgrace to the Rising Sun Society.
The reason why Xiaoshan was hunted down was because he learned that his wife was seriously ill and would pass away soon. He felt that he had never fulfilled his responsibility as a husband, so he planned to stay with his wife during her last moments. Xiao Shan, who was always cowardly because of his wife's side, made the craziest decision in his life and defected.
Xiaoshan knew that as long as he was still in Japan, he would definitely die, so he found an excuse and fled to China, thinking of faking an accident in China to fake his own death. After the news of his death spread back to Japan, He was returning to Japan quietly, but unfortunately, his thoughts were too simple.
"Benefactor, if you hadn't taken action back then, I wouldn't have been able to return to Japan alive to see my wife for the last time." Xiao Shan knelt down in front of Situ Fengya. He spoke excitedly and kowtowed. Fortunately, Situ Fengya, with quick eyes and quick hands, helped him up again.
"Okay, okay, I just felt soft-hearted back then. If you want to thank me, just thank me for never doing anything harmful to God. Otherwise, if they don't kill you, I will kill you too." Situ Fengya said to The Japanese didn't have a good impression of him, so he spoke without any mercy. However, these words were just Situ Fengya's harsh words. After he rescued Xiaoshan, he was worried that Xiaoshan's identity as a Japanese would be discovered by others, so he told him He hid quietly, and after Xiaoshan's injuries healed, Situ Fengya sent him back to Japan. While Xiao Shan was recuperating, Situ Fengya had been taking care of him. Xiao Shan was not a person who did not repay his kindness. He handed over all his skills to Situ Fengya. As for other things, Situ Fengya knew that he would not He said, not bothering to ask.
"Yes, yes." Although Xiaoshan didn't know Situ Fengya's identity, he could guess it to some extent. Moreover, he also knew that Situ Fengya came to him this time not just to reminisce about old times, so Xiaoshan said: "Benefactor, Do you have anything important to do when you come this time?"
"That's right." Situ Fengya nodded, took out the note Wang Yuchen gave him from his arms, handed it to Xiao Shan, and asked at the same time: "Do you know where the address on it is?"
"This is..." When Xiaoshan took the note and read the words on it clearly, his expression instantly became solemn. He returned the note to Situ Fengya and said in a low voice: "My benefactor asked me about this." Actually, you want to inquire about the Rising Sun Society, right?"
"That's right, what do you know about this place?" Situ Fengya put away the note and asked. Seeing Xiao Shan's hesitation, he added: "You just need to tell me what you can. It’s okay not to say anything that really makes you feel embarrassed.”
"My benefactor has misunderstood. I don't want to hide anything from my benefactor. It's just that the place this note refers to is the place where the Sun Society exchanges information. To outsiders, this is just an izakaya. But if you ask the boss for a drink, If you make flammable oolong tea, he will take you to another room. All the killers here are from the Shengyang Society, and they all know each other. If the benefactor goes there rashly, he may be in danger." For Xiaoshan, The Rising Sun Society had nothing to remember, so he could tell Situ Fengya no matter what information he had.
"It doesn't matter, you need to tell me how to get here, and I will figure out the rest." Situ Fengya had already expected what Xiaoshan said, and he also had a plan to deal with it.
"Okay." Xiaoshan nodded. He stood up, took a pen and paper, and wrote down a clearer address, "Benefactor, be careful in everything!"
After handing the paper to Situ Fengya, Xiao Shan patted his head and seemed to remember something again. He got up and went back to the back room. He dug out a wooden box from the box under his bed. This wooden box was already somewhat damaged due to insects and ants. , and because of the time, it exudes a smell of rotten wood.
"This is a sword passed down from my family's ancestors, named Quanying. Because I have never met a samurai worthy of this sword, I originally wanted to bury this sword deep in the ground with me after a hundred years. But Now it seems that this knife is completely worthy... No, this knife is fully qualified to be used by the benefactor. If the benefactor does not dislike it, I am willing to give this knife to the benefactor. I hope that this knife can cut off the benefactor when he is in crisis. Crisis." Xiao Shan said as he took out the knife from the box and put his hands in front of Situ Fengya.
Situ Fengya took the knife and looked at it carefully. This knife named Quanying weighed about four kilograms and was one meter long. The scabbard and handle were all black. Situ Fengya took out the knife and found that This knife is of top quality both in terms of material and sharpness. It is definitely a rare and good knife.
"Thank you!" Situ Fengya sheathed his sword and saluted Xiaoshan with the traditional Chinese hand-over-hand salute, and Xiaoshan bowed deeply to Situ Fengya.
"Xihe, let's go!" Situ Fengya held the knife in one hand and held Xihe in the other hand, turned around and walked out of Xiaoshan's house.
"Ah? Are you leaving now?" Xihe was confused when hearing the conversation between the two of them. Just now she was wondering how she could survive the night in such an environment. She didn't expect that Situ Fengya would be killed in the next second. Drag away.
"Yes, I told you. We came here just to find someone. Now that we have found someone, it's time to go back. If we go back now, we might be able to catch the last boat." After leaving Xiaoshan's house, Situ Feng Ya put Quan Ying away. Although the Tai Sui Seal was no longer on him, he just couldn't use the space to move. He could still use the function of storing things. "What, do you want to stay here for one night?"
"No, no, no, let's go quickly!" Upon hearing this, Xihe immediately became energetic. Previously, it was Situ Fengya who was pulling her, but now she is pulling Situ Fengya.
In this way, the two of them rushed back without stopping, and successfully took the last boat back to the nearest city. After resting here for a night, the two of them rushed to the next destination, Tokyo, without stopping.
