Three days later, Bailang went to the medical hall again to change the medicine. The doctor just told him that the wound was recovering extremely well, and praised him for being different from ordinary people in this regard. The injury that might not have healed in more than a month has now started to scab in less than ten days. Said he was a beast in the knife shop.
Finally, the doctor told Bailang that he would be extremely itchy in the past few days and asked Bailang not to scratch it. If he couldn't stand it anymore, he should use a handkerchief soaked in cold water to apply cold compresses.
Of course, the doctor didn't know that Bailang had already found a way to resist the itching of the injury. That is to practice "Qi Nourishing Technique". Because he discovered that the "qi" produced by "Qi Nourishing Jue" can travel throughout the body's meridians, giving it a cool and comfortable feeling, which can effectively suppress the numbness and itching of the wound.
And yesterday, the sword shop gave Bailang a reward of ten taels for his merit in stopping Bailang, and also distributed a serious short sword to him. Because even though Bailang's talent is mediocre, the advantage is that he is young. Judging from the performance of Dongbao Market before, it will definitely not be a problem to become a high-end knifeman in two or three years. So the dagger was given to him in advance as a reward and to show that the sword shop was optimistic about Bailang.
After coming out of the knife shop, Bai Lang went to the cloth shop and pulled cloth to make new clothes for himself and the two little ones. And it's the kind of thick clothes made of cotton. It's almost the coldest time of the year. With this new suit of clothes, I should suffer less.
After finishing his work, Bailang stopped in front of his house. There were two people standing at the door. When they saw him coming back, they smiled and nodded to him, obviously they were looking for him.
However, the arrival of these two people made the hair on Bai Lang's back stand on end, and he felt an inexplicable feeling of fear in his heart. After being stunned for a moment, he quickly hid the fear and insecurity in his heart, at least not letting them appear on his face and mannerisms.
"Bai Lang has met these two adults!"
Bailang walked over quickly and bowed quickly when there was more than a foot between them. Gongshoujian was filled with doubts: Why did the blood guards from these two prefectures come to him? !
The two people in front of Bai Lang had blood-red signs hanging on their waists. One of them was Li Jiang, the Blood Guard Captain who had saved his life in the East Market a few days ago.
"Bai Lang, hehe, it looks like you are in good health and recovering quickly. I happened to come over here. I heard you live here, so I stopped by to take a look."
"Bai Lang hasn't thanked Mr. Li enough for saving his life that day!" As he said this, Bai Lang took two steps closer and bowed deeply to the end again. This is true. If it weren't for Li Jiang, even if he managed to withstand a few attacks with his "extreme concentration" that day, he might not be able to survive the arrival of the people from the knife studio behind him. The result can only be serious injury or death.
"It's just a matter of effort, no need to remember."
Afterwards, Bailang opened the door and welcomed Li Jiang and the others into the house. Quickly make tea to entertain.
"You two adults, Haihan, are in a tight family and only have this coarse tea, so don't be surprised."
"Haha, it doesn't matter. Sit down. Firstly, I want to see how your injury is getting better. Secondly, I have some things I want to ask you."
Bailang then took a stool and sat down on the edge, and said with a reserved look: "You two adults, if you have anything to ask, just ask. The younger one will definitely know everything and tell me everything!"
Li Jiang smiled and said, "You are quite good at talking. Have you ever studied before?"
"I have never read it, but I have been hanging out on the street for a long time, and I have learned a little from myself. I can barely read and write, which made the two adults laugh."
Li Jiang and the deputy chief who came with him looked at each other. Everyone seems to think this Bailang is somewhat special. Although he appeared quite nervous and awkward in front of them, his speech was well-founded and he was neither humble nor arrogant. He also taught himself how to read and write. The critical age should be only fifteen or sixteen years old. This is already considered "unbelievable" for a street wanderer.
"You actually taught yourself how to read and write. Not bad! By the way, I saw that you were able to deal with a few moves against a seventh-grade warrior in the market that day. It's really rare considering your cultivation level and the situation at that time. Your sword skills are the best in your sword studio. Taught?”
"Yes, Mr. Li, it's the "Ten Tiger Sword Styles" issued by the sword hall."
"Tsk, this name... did anyone specifically teach you the sword skills you used? Or did you teach yourself?"
"Hey, you're just practicing blindly."
Self-study again? Can you master a roadside swordsmanship by self-study to the point where you can surpass two levels to fight against the enemy? Genius?
Of course, this can only be said to surprise Li Jiang and the two, but it is not the purpose of their visit.
"If you were self-taught, how did you practice? Did you practice in a knife studio? Or somewhere else?" Li Jiang seemed to be particularly curious about Bai Lang. I want to understand even small things like practicing swordsmanship.
But even this seemingly innocuous question, a common question driven by Li Jiang's curiosity, made Bai Lang sweat on his back.
"Sir, you are joking. The school grounds in the sword academy are not big, and a street wanderer like me is not qualified to go there. There is no place here at home, so I can only go out of the city to practice. Just in the woods on the east side of the city."
"Oh? When do you usually go to practice?"
"Usually I go right after dinner and come back after an hour of practice."
"Are you going every day?"
"Not necessarily. But basically nine out of ten days will pass." Bailang answered quickly, because he did not lie and did not intend to lie. At that moment, he was betting that the other party couldn't catch his flaw. In other words, it is impossible to say for sure that he is related to the man in black and the clay figurine that day.
"Then on the third day of this month, did you go to the woods outside Dongcheng to practice swordsmanship?"
"Third year of junior high school?" Bai Lang thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I went there. It was the day to settle accounts. I remember that I went there to practice swordsmanship after dinner in the evening.
Sirs, is there something wrong? "
Bailang's reaction was natural and nothing unusual. In fact, Li Jiang had already found out what he just said from elsewhere. The purpose of coming here to ask today was to use force to overwhelm others, to put Bailang under psychological pressure and at the same time test him to see if Bailang would show anything wrong. But at least not yet.
"Haha, we came to Yongchuan City just to chase a person. That person passed by the woods outside Dongcheng on the night of the third grade of junior high school. Based on the blood stains at that time, we concluded that the person had stayed in the woods for a while. Calculating the time , it should be possible to bump into you during that time. Did you see anything?"
Bai Lang shook his head directly and said: "No. Sir, the woods are not small. Will you not run into the little ones?"
Li Jiang looked at Bailang without saying a word, and the invisible pressure became overwhelming. So much so that within a short time Bai Lang began to chatter and feel overwhelmed. But he still kept saying "Sir, believe me" repeatedly and seemed to be frightened.
It took a full cup of tea for Li Jiang to put away his aura. At this time, Bailang had already collapsed on the ground.
"Haha, Bailang, just take care of yourself." After Li Jiang said that, he stood up and left with a cold face.
As soon as he walked out of the door, Li Jiang turned to look at the deputy chief next to him and asked, "Did you find anything over there?"
"To tell you what, sir, the result is the same as following him before. There is no reaction about the ban on the clay figurine on Bailang or in his family."
