Volume 1: Wind Rises in the Mountains and Swamps Chapter 36: Killing and Saving Others
Just now, the flying of steel knives and the splashing of blood made Qiu Gui dizzy and his calves trembled. He couldn't run. But in a blink of an eye, the three ancestors subdued the other party.
Qiu Gui calmed down a little and was thinking about how much benefit he could get. Suddenly, a terrifying voice came to his ears, and he sat down on the ground with fear.
A young man appeared on the road at some point. He looked about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was covered with an old gray robe and a wine gourd was tied around his waist in a strange way. His black hair was lightly tied behind his head, his eyebrows were clear and handsome, and his whole body was free and unrestrained, or even a little lazy and casual.
Seeing the fat sheep coming in, a young man jumped out halfway. And this young man didn't show any fear when he saw the blood. He was not as simple as an ordinary passerby. Zheng Da and the other two looked at each other in surprise.
"Damn it, go your own way, don't mind my good, or I'll chop you to death!" Zheng Da glared at him with his eyes wide open, waving his steel knife and cursing.
"Since you want to kill me, why can't I kill you!" The young man answered casually.
The young man walked over to Qiu Gui, who was sitting on the ground, as if he hadn't seen him. He looked at the young shopkeeper and the other two, his eyes stayed on the waiter for a while, and then looked at the young shopkeeper on the ground. When he saw the woman with the monkey's steel knife across her neck and the child in her arms, the young man raised his eyebrows and looked angry.
Zheng Da was furious when he saw that the young man didn't take his words seriously at all. I wanted to spare your life, but it seems that you don't want to live long, so I'll chop you off with a knife. Before he raised the steel knife in his hand, he met the young man's cold eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart, and his hands hesitated.
The young man stared at Zheng Da coldly, his eyes revealing coldness.
"Want to kill me? Don't you dare?" There was a hint of sarcasm in the young man's tone. He continued to walk towards Zheng Da with shaky steps.
"If you want to die, I'll grant your wish!" Zheng Da looked fierce, leaped up suddenly, and chopped down the boy with his knife. But the other party did not dodge and stopped.
The young shopkeeper thought that someone would help him when he saw injustice, but he saw that it was a young man, and his heart became cold. Now he saw that the man didn't know how to dodge the steel knife, and he couldn't help but lament that he had lost another life for nothing!
The clerk Agui showed a little surprise when he saw the boy. But he saw that the bandits were fierce, and he secretly said that it was not good.
Just when the young shopkeeper and others thought that the boy was about to die, they saw that his expression did not change, and he took a step forward, and Zheng Da's steel knife had changed hands.
The boy did not make any gestures, but he moved his wrist and turned the steel knife in his hand. Only a silver light flashed, and a burst of blood rain was sprinkled.
Zheng Da was in no time to react in mid-air and was split into two pieces.
The knife was so fast that Zheng Da didn't make any sound, and two pieces of his body fell down with a burst of blood.
The mountain road was a mess of red and white, shocking everyone in the scene.
"You-you don't come over, or I will kill her!" A ghost cry sounded, and the monkey's evil eyes were frightened and pale. He put the steel knife on the woman's neck and howled at the top of his lungs. The robber named Big Eyes was also panicked. The gloomy aura in his body had already turned into a trembling and frightened soul. He leaned against the monkey with the steel knife, at a loss.
The two saw the young man go into the white blade with bare hands and chop Zheng Da with a knife. Only then did they realize that the young man's martial arts were powerful. If they escaped, they might not be able to succeed. Robbing the woman and the child might bring about a turnaround.
Robbers love gambling, but the gambling chips are of course their own lives!
The young man glanced at the bloody mess on the ground, and the gloom on his face seemed to ease. He looked up at the two monkeys, and his expression turned cold.
"Hmph! Those who kill and rob people shall die! Those who rob women and children shall die even more!" The young man snorted coldly, raised his left hand quickly, flicked his fingers, and a wisp of wind broke through the air.
"Swish!"
"Dang-clang!"
The monkey's steel knife was hit into the air, and he stood still, his monkey eyes were extremely surprised. The big eyes on the side were stunned for a moment, raised the steel knife and chopped at the woman.
The woman had already lost her soul, just hugged the child in her arms, waiting to die.
The clerk Agui was suspicious, but he couldn't help, and his face showed expectation.
The young shopkeeper was already angry, cried out in grief, and was about to sacrifice himself.
"How dare you!"
Seeing the thief so vicious, the young man raised his eyebrows, shouted loudly, and stood up from the ground.
The big eyes were like thunder, stunned on the spot. Then a figure wrapped in a gust of knife wind rushed over.
Immediately, a large head flew into the air, and the rest of the body was still standing, with a cavity of dirty blood gushing out.
In just a blink of an eye, the boy was beside the woman, and with a wave of his hand, the bloody corpse flew to the side of the road.
The tragic death of his companion frightened the monkey so much that he howled: "Mom——!" He threw down the steel knife and turned around to run. Before he ran two feet, a steel knife pierced his body. He staggered two steps, fell headfirst, and never moved again.
After a series of drastic changes, the woman's eyes rolled back and she had fainted. The boy casually pulled the woman and gently helped her sit on the ground, and took the child.
The child had stopped crying and was curiously opening a pair of dark eyes.
The coldness like water retreated, and the boy smiled at the corner of his mouth, with warmth in his eyes!
So many changes, but like lightning, passed in a flash, and the reversal of life and death was just a thought.
"Madam——!" The young shopkeeper was covered in blood. He was supported by Agui and came to the boy.
The young shopkeeper looked at the child with surprise, and then looked at the woman with worry, feeling a mixture of emotions. Fortunately, the woman just had a convulsion. She woke up in a moment, saw the child in the boy's arms, struggled to get up, took it over, and held it tightly in her arms. When she saw that the child was fine, she ignored her concerned husband and leaned over to the young man to thank him: "Thank you so much for saving my life!"
Regardless of the pain, the young shopkeeper also hurriedly said: "This knight, thank you for your help!"
"It should be so when the road is rough. Don't worry about it, you two!" The young man shook his head slightly, turned his eyes to the waiter on the side, smiled, and said softly: "Brother Jia, are you okay?"
Agui had been paying attention to the young man, and when he heard this, he said in surprise: "You are indeed Lin Yi!"
When the young man showed up, Agui already saw a familiar face.
However, a few years later, Lin Yi's figure became like that of an adult, his facial contours became increasingly handsome, and his eyebrows seemed familiar, but Agui did not dare to recognize him.
He saw Lin Yi stretch his fingers and flick the monkey's steel knife into the air. Such a familiar and similar move surprised Agui, and he guessed that the person who saved him in the past might be this familiar-looking young man. I just didn't expect that Brother Lin could not help but possess martial arts, but he was still so unpredictable.
After guessing the identity of the other party, when Agui saw that the thief was vicious and stabbed his wife, he placed all his expectations on Lin Yi, and the other party lived up to his expectations and solved the crisis in the blink of an eye.
Agui was inexplicably surprised. This boy was really the bun-eating Lin Yi whom he met in a surprise encounter in front of the restaurant three years ago.
Agui is the boy in front of Taiping Restaurant. And the boy who killed three people in a row was naturally Lin Yi who left Xiaotian'ao.
Before leaving home, Lin Yi had already made an explanation to his uncle and Mr. Su. He saw that Cui'er's martial arts was beginning to take shape and only needed the skills of a water mill. Given time, she should have some impressive achievements, so he quietly left Xiaotian'ao alone.
There are inevitable separations in life, but there are farewells that can be avoided!
After leaving Xiaotian'ao, Lin Yi bypassed Tianping and headed directly towards Taiping Town. Walking alone to give alms, I really enjoy the leisurely freedom of being on the road alone. Unexpectedly, after walking dozens of miles, he encountered a group of robbers from Zheng Da.
Jia Gui had long been recognized by Lin Yi. Although he hadn't seen him for several years, his appearance had not changed much. And the young shopkeeper is also a familiar person, he is Mei Zhongwen, the young shopkeeper of Taiping Restaurant. Shopkeeper Mei Shao probably didn't even trust the little Taoist priest back then, let alone Lin Yi today.
Lin Yi admits that he is not a murderous person. Although he hates bandits and robbers, he does not like the bloody corpses. But Zheng Da and his gang are obviously trying to kill people and get goods, and they are so cruel that they will not spare the children, which makes people angry.
I think it must have been similar to today when my parents were in trouble!
If we don’t kill these people, we don’t know how many innocent people they will harm in the future.
This was the first time Lin Yi had the urge to kill in his heart!
Killing is a means of thunder, it can punish evil, it can also save good!
Lin Yi checked the injury for the young shopkeeper. Fortunately, the stab wound on the waist and abdomen was more than a foot long, the flesh and blood were split open, and blood splattered on the white clothes. It was very shocking, but it was not serious. Fortunately, when he was in danger, he blocked it with his long sword, and the tip of the sword did not reach the depth. Just apply some anti-hemorrhage medicine that you brought with you, so there’s no need to worry.
After Agui helped the woman back to the carriage, she came back to help bandage the young shopkeeper together.
The young shopkeeper was extremely grateful and happy to know that this young man was Agui's friend. He lamented Lin Yi's martial arts prowess and praised the other party's chivalrous benevolence and righteousness. In response, the latter smiled and said nothing, just secretly glad that he arrived in time.
"Lin Yi, why are you here? Where are you going?" Agui's clothes were torn in several places by a knife, but there were no knife wounds on his body. After the thrill, he asked in a good mood.
The young shopkeeper was grateful to Lin Yi for saving his life, but he was also a little curious about this young man's mysterious appearance.
Lin Yi pondered for a moment and was about to speak, but he raised his eyebrows and said coldly behind him: "Who asked you to leave?"
Before his voice fell, there was a "pop" not far away, and a figure fell to the ground and shouted: "Don't dare! Don't dare! You don't dare!" There was a trembling sound in the cry.
The young shopkeeper and Agui followed the sound and saw a wretched man with sinister features, kowtowing to the ground. Then they suddenly remembered that there were four thieves in total, and this man was one of them. However, in the alternation of despair and surprise between the generals, they both forgot about the existence of another person, and this person should have taken the opportunity to escape. Unexpectedly, Lin Yi knew everything that happened behind her.
Qiu Gui feels bitter in his heart! In his own eyes, the ancestors of Zheng Da are simply evil gods. I wanted to join their gang, and in the future, I would be able to gain the top of the mountain and have the strength with the numbers. Seeing that the people and goods in the carriage were about to be obtained, although the woman was beautiful, he was worried that the monkey would eat alone, so he did not dare to think anything wrong. I just thought that I could at least share some of the belongings in the car.
Who would have thought that a real evil god would fall from the sky and kill those three ancestors in the blink of an eye?
This young man is the real ancestor!
Qiu Gui was so frightened that he lost his temper and threw the stone in his hand. He was waiting for the young man to come to kill him, but there was no movement for a long time. He secretly looked over and saw that no one was paying attention to him. He felt secretly happy, emboldened himself, got up and ran away.
Qiu Gui believes that this courage is enough to climb the widow's wall ten times. This is because God pities Qiu Gui!
Before Qiu Gui could think of God's other benefits, he was frightened by the shouting from behind. He turned around and kowtowed on the ground.
This sounds familiar! This was the evil voice just now. Qiu Gui would not be able to forget it for a while, nor would he dare to forget it. He felt that all three of his souls were gone, and his heart was pounding with fear. This ancestor has eyes on the back of his head, even ghosts can't escape!
"Grandpa, spare your life, I don't dare! I was also forced by these ancestors... no, a few thieves! I was a good citizen, with an eighty-year-old mother and a child waiting to be fed! Grandpa! "Forgive me! I haven't done anything bad! Grandpa is here, but I'm far away!" Qiu Gui's eyes were full of tears, as if his parents were dead. Crying and begging.
But the other party made no movement again. Qiu Gui wiped away his tears and looked up secretly. He saw the young evil spirit staring at him, which made him tremble all over again.
"Grandpa! Everything you say is true, don't dare to tell a lie! If you dare to deceive grandpa, God will strike like lightning! Grandpa, spare your life -!"
Qiu Gui's back was covered in cold sweat, and he felt chills. He thought that being struck by thunder would be better than being cut in half with a knife.
