novelThe Death of Yang Jian
| ← Ch.066 | Ch.068 → |
When the two of them walked out of the pile of dead wild boars covered in blood, the surrounding residents looked at them with eager eyes and clapped hard. Standing at the front of the crowd was Yang Jian. No one knew when he had woken up, but he didn't say anything.
Xiong Ji was covered in blood and minced meat from the wild boars. He was also a beast before. When he fought, other than using his abilities, he mainly used his physical strength. No one knew how many wild boars he had torn with his hands. Previously, he hadn't felt that there was anything wrong with having some of the enemy's flesh on his body, but now he wanted to take a bath.
"If I just stand here with blood dripping, I'll scare off this group of weak humans. I really want to wipe myself clean before they clap for me." Xiong Ji thought to himself. He didn't show it on the surface, but in his heart, he was a little shy.
This was the first time he was being worshipped as a hero. He had to act nicely. Xiong Ji thought to himself and squeezed out a sincere smile at the crowd.
The applause of the crowd paused in unison. A burst of heart-wrenching cries of children suddenly appeared. A few children wept and crawled into their mother's arms.
"Can you not laugh so, so strangely? Your smile really looked like a perverted demon who killed and dismembered people." the shouts in the hearts of the residents were in unison, but no one dared to say it out loud. Their applause was even more enthusiastic, as if it was covering up something. The mothers of the crying children also looked at Yu Sisi apologetically. They did not dare to look directly at Xiong Ji anymore.
Yu Sisi originally was a little touch at first, but Xiong Ji's smile completely changed the atmosphere. Her feelings were gone. Yu Sisi nodded at the mothers. She pulled Xiong Ji and ran to a mountain spring to clean herself up. She hadn't changed her clothes. Xiong Ji had returned to his original form and washed his fur, but Yu Sisi wanted clothes.
The pitiful two were thrown out by Jiang Yun. They had nothing on them, including money.
"I've never been in such a sorry state in my life! I'm a dignified young lady, but I don't even have a change of clothes. I don't even have the money to buy one!" Yu Sisi was extremely frustrated.
The final solution was for Xiong Ji to catch a tiger and bring it to the town to buy it for money. The shop owner, who had been rushing home for dinner with the door closed, he didn't want to do this business. However, when he saw Xiong Ji's face, he trembled and opened the door shakily. Without even looking carefully, he directly offered the highest price. He placed the money bag in front of Xiong Ji and looked at him uneasily.
The shop owner saw Xiong Ji staring at the money bag and was terrified. Was he giving him too little? Why not add more! Xiong Ji was his savior, even though he looked a little scary.
Actually, Xiong Ji only wanted to ask the shop owner where he could buy women's ready-made clothes. He did not see it on his way here. However, he was inexplicably ashamed and didn't dare to ask, so he hesitated. Seeing the shop owner's flustered appearance, he couldn't even ask.
The two of them were in a stalemate for a moment. Just as the shop owner was about to raise the price, Xiong Ji finally asked. Then, under the shop owner's complicated gaze, he took the money bag and rushed out of the door. Without turning his head, he rushed straight in the direction of the shop owner's directions.
"I will never help senior sister buy things again." Xiong Ji secretly made up his mind. It was too awkward.
In the end, the two of them checked into the only two inns in the town at night. They stayed for eight days. From the beginning when they were being watched by the people in town all the way until now, where they greeted each other. It was peaceful, it just so happened to let the two of them relax. However, it was still quite uncomfortable to be stared at all the time.
Now, the person who was the most friendly to them was none other than Yang Jian. From time to time, he would bring them some food. The two of them had rejected his kindness, but Yang Jian was stubborn. Yu Sisi and Xiong Jo did not mind his initial misunderstanding and plot against them. They had even saved the entire town. He could not repay them. He could only do what he could to express his gratitude.
Yu Sisi thought of the scene when they had just arrived in the town. She lowered her head and could not help but laugh. There were really a lot of misunderstanding back then. She did not realize that there were so many interesting people around her before. In the past, she had been immersed in her own despair and resentment, unable to trust others. It was all thanks to her master. If not for her master, she would have...
"Oh my god! With such serious injuries, can he still be saved?"
"Sigh, he's already gone. It's all thanks to the two brothers who brought him back."
"What?! These people are really too much! Brother Yang Jian is such a good person..."
"How are Yang Xun and his mother going to live in the future? They are so young..."
There was a sudden commotion outside the inn. Yu Sisi's hearing was better than anyone else's. Her heart sank and she slapped the table. Xiong Ji was enjoying his noodles and did not pay attention to the commotion outside. He was shocked by Yu Sisi's sudden slap. He swallowed the noodles in his mouth and looked at Yu Sisi gently.
There was nothing he could do. Xiong Ji muttered in his heart, "Senior sister is becoming more and more like master. Especially when she's expressionless, it actually makes me feel like I'm facing master. I have to ask nicely."
"Senior sister, What's wrong?"
"Yang Jian is dead. He was killed."
"What?" Xiong Ji was shocked. He followed Yu Sisi out of the door and followed the crowd to Yang Jian's door.
From the people around him, he knew that Yang Jian and his two good friends went up the mountain to hunt today. They planned to hunt some foxes and rabbits so that they could make some clothes for their family. Yang Jian was lucky. A snow fox fell into the trap. Its fur was pure white and there was a red dot between its eyebrows. It was very beautiful. He didn't know why this snow fox came down from the snow mountain.
Yang Jian was extremely happy. He said that he would give this snow fox to Yu Sisi. He would skin it to make a scarf for her, or she could keep it as pet. However, at this moment, two cultivators suddenly appeared from the mountain. They wanted to snatch the snow fox without a second thought. Yang Jian did not give in. Then, he was hit by them and flew to the tree trunk. The sound of bones breaking could be heard, but he was not dead yet.
The two cultivators picked up the drooping snow fox and took a look. They found that one of the snow fox's hind legs had a bit of its skin torn by the beast trap. They were furious and scolded,
"You reckless thing, how dare you snatch our young master's thing? You even broke this good skin!"
"This snow fox was obviously caught by my friend's trap!"
One of Yang Jian's friends complained on his behalf.
"Tsk, why do you think this snow fox ran down from the snow mountain? We were the ones chasing it. You want to pick up scraps? Dream on."
"Then you should have just said that this was the prey you were chasing. We know the rules. Why did you have to do it? It's too unreasonable."
Another friend went to help Yang Jian, who was sliding down the tree trunk. Seeing that he was unconscious and seriously injured, he couldn't help but yell at them.
"What kind of thing dares to talk to us about rules and principles?" The cultivator was very disdainful. He directly strangled the snow fox in his hand to death. The snow fox didn't even have time to cry out before it turned into a dead object in the blink of an eye.
"We don't want dirty things, but those who dirty our things have to pay the price!"
After the cultivator finished speaking, he shattered Yang Jian's heart and died on the spot.
The man wanted to kill Yang Jian's two friends, but he suddenly listened to something and left immediately.
