In the days that followed, Bailang rested at home recovering from his injuries. The injury improved much faster than he expected. He originally thought it would take at least a month to recover, but now in just three days, he no longer felt the pain of the wound, instead it turned into a progressively painful itching.
This is a sign that the wound is healing rapidly, but compared to the pain, the itching seems to be more uncomfortable now.
Bailang was injured this time and felt that the sword shop took very good care of his meritorious disciples.
Two pounds of meat bones and half a pound of fat meat every two days. This kind of treatment alone cannot be afforded by ordinary forces.
Zhou Dong, a street wanderer who had led Bailang for more than two years, visited him twice and left a lot of money on the table as a token of his gratitude. This is a lot of money, especially for a street wanderer like Zhou Dong. Originally Bai Lang didn't want it, but Zhou Dong laughed and said that he won it by playing money in the money shop. If Bai Lang didn't want it, he might have to lose it, so he might as well take advantage of his brothers.
Bai Lang knew that Zhou Dong was alone. And Zhou Dong's two biggest hobbies are making money and shopping. In his own words, few people in the Hungry Knife Hall can die well. If you are lucky, you will die after spending all your money. If you are unlucky, the money dies before it is used, which is a huge loss.
Therefore, after following him for two years, Bai Lang has a good grasp of Zhou Dong's temper. He treats you as a brother if he recognizes you, and treats you as a passerby if he doesn't recognize you. He rarely has the habit of giving in and giving in. He is a rare upright person in the knife shop.
"Your boy is lucky this time. Don't dare to do this again." Zhou Dong scooped a ladle of water from the water tank and drank it to quench his thirst. Then he sat back on the chair and pointed to the bandage on Bai Lang's body with a smile on his face. . "You still have two little ones to raise. If you die, they will suffer. Just take it easy!"
"Hey, what Brother Dong said is true. I didn't have time to think about it at the time. That guy didn't look like a master. Who knew he was hiding deep enough. It won't be like this next time, don't worry, Brother Dong."
"Just know it yourself. By the way, you asked me to ask you the question last time."
"Oh? Brother Dong asked so soon?"
"Well, that group of people has been in the city non-stop recently. The more movement there is, the more news there will be. This is what we street wanderers do. What's so difficult about it?
The man who rescued you in the East Market last time was named Li Jiang. He was the captain of the First Guard of the Prefecture Blood Guard. It is said that he was a third-grade warrior. "
Bailang's eyes jumped when he heard the words "third-grade warrior". A few days ago, a seventh-grade warrior almost killed him. Now a third-grade warrior...he couldn't even imagine that the other party could be strong. Whatever it is, it must be terrifying.
Swallowing secretly, Bai Lang continued to ask: "Brother Dong, what does this Blood Guard do? Before, Brother Xun in the East Market refused to let me ask, and asked everyone to stay away. What is the background of the people in the state capital? Are they all so cruel?"
"Yuzhong, the capital of the state, is in charge of our Yongchuan City in terms of jurisdiction. However, due to geographical reasons, there are many mountains and dangerous roads, making it difficult to communicate, so there is little contact. But if they really come, the people in the City Lord's Mansion will not dare to offend. . Do you understand this? Just like those waist knives in the knife shop, they usually don’t interact with us, but if they really want to do something with us, they can’t afford to refuse. Do you understand? "
"I understand, Brother Dong, what about this Blood Guard?"
"The Blood Guards are said to be the most powerful thugs in the state capital. There are two guards in total, and the entry requirement is a sixth-grade warrior. Do you think our knife studio can afford to offend others?
So, don’t worry about people saving your life. If you really want to remember, just pray for longevity in your heart. Don't get too close to anything else, otherwise people will look down on you, lest you end up in trouble. "
Bai Lang must be saying that on the one hand, he really wanted to thank the other party for saving his life. On the other hand, he also wanted to find out the other party's background, because he was always inexplicably worried that these sudden appearance of the blood guards of the state capital seemed to be related to the man in black and the clay figurine that night.
After talking about Bai Lang, Zhou Dong followed his previous words and chatted: "Those Blood Guards have caused misery to everyone in the city in recent days."
"What's wrong?"
"They seemed to be looking for someone. They also seemed to be looking for something. Not only were they searching inns, charity halls, and major horse and carriage stores, they were also searching for boxes from various markets. Open it and take a look.
The people in the yamen were driven around like dogs. The people in our knife shop were chased everywhere by the government again. I'm exhausted. Your boy is injured this time, so he can take it easy. Otherwise, he would be like me, running all day and breaking his legs, with blisters on his feet...
This is not only the case in the city, but also outside the city. The surrounding waterways and the small forest outside Dongcheng were overturned by them by three feet. I don’t know what I’m looking for…”
If Bai Lang had any guesses in his mind before, hearing Zhou Dong's words now confirmed his previous guesses.
In other words, these blood guards really came for the man in black that night, or in other words, they came for the "Qi Nourishing Technique" of the Clay Figure Sculpture!
And judging from the situation, these blood guards were sure that the clay figurine should be around Yongchuan City and did not go far. This is either because they caught the man in black, or they intercepted and killed the man in black near Yongchuan City. Since the man in black did not have a clay figurine on his body, we can conclude that the clay figurine was hidden in Yongchuan by the man in black. Somewhere in the city, or is it the man in black and his accompanying companions? That’s why I’m looking for people and things.
After thinking for a while, Bai Lang pretended to be curious and asked again: "Brother Dong, the number of goods passing in and out of Yongchuan City is not a small amount. There are at least several hundred large and small cars every day. Each box If they open it, can they check it out?"
"Hey, what if Renzhou Prefecture's methods are different? They have a kind of copper plate in their hand, which is like being able to sense the contents of the box through the box. Car after car passes by, and the speed is surprisingly fast. I was I still didn’t believe it when I heard it, so I went to see the excitement, don’t tell me, their kind of checking method really can’t miss anything.”
Copper plate? Bai Lang didn't know what it was, and Zhou Dong didn't seem to know either. But from Zhou Dong's judgment, it can be heard that the copper plate is used to find objects. Once you get close to the thing you want to find, the copper plate should produce some kind of reaction as a warning. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the other world Bailang is familiar with. Although the principles are different, the general effect should be similar.
This news is not good, but it is not fatally bad news for Bailang either. Because the clay figurine has now completely turned into a pool of mud and washed into the ditch. "Qi Nourishing Technique" has also become a piece of practice in his consciousness and no other entity exists. As long as the man in black is dead, he doesn't think the other party can find him. Because in his opinion, there is no logical relationship that can be doubted.
