Chapter 82 You Are the Second Brother
The tiger that pounced towards Bai Xun was hit on the head.
The knife actually cut into the tiger's head and got stuck in its skull.
The villagers from the hunting team and patrol team took advantage of the confrontation between Bai Xun and the tiger to shoot arrows at the tiger and throw a large net to capture it.
The tiger howled several times and fell down, and the three little tigers behind it jumped back into the forest.
The villagers were busy tying up the giant tiger and carrying it away.
"Second Brother...it's you..."
The man who had just shouted "Second Brother" to Bai Xun ran towards Bai Xun.
He was Bai Wuqian, a former disciple of Longyin Sect.
Junior sister Bai Yue also ran over with a look of astonishment on her face.
The old leader of Longyin Sect was kindhearted and picked up many orphans to raise in the sect. The orphans all took the old leader's surname Bai and became disciples of Longyin Sect.
Bai Wuqian and Bai Yue ranked third and seventh respectively, and the people they admired the most were their eldest brother Bai He and second brother Bai Xun.
Later, something unexpected happened to the Longyin Sect.
The old sect leader took his eldest brother Bai He out, but was poisoned and framed by a villain.
The other party wanted the Dragon Hidden Sect's treasure, the Dragon Roar Sword, and wanted the Dragon Hidden Sect to give him the antidote in exchange for it.
When the old sect leader was in a coma, the eldest brother Bai He and the second brother Bai Xun had a disagreement.
Bai He wanted to exchange the Dragon Roar Sword for the antidote, but Bai Xun firmly adhered to his master's instructions that the Dragon Roar Sword should not be handed over.
At that time, everyone in the sect was in panic.
Later, Bai He and Bai Xun disappeared, and the master also passed away.
Everyone thought that the two senior brothers were also framed by villains.
With no one in charge of the sect, the Longyin Sect, which already had few members, disbanded.
There were many sects in the martial arts world, and the loss of a small sect like theirs wouldn't cause much of a stir. Some of his fellow disciples had gone to seek refuge in other sects.
Bai Wuqian and his junior sister Bai Yue retired to the countryside and had no intention of re-entering the world.
But who would have thought that the corrupt officials and gentry in Qianzhou would be so inhumane that they forced the people to riot.
Bai Wuqian and Bai Yue picked up their swords again and joined the rioting crowd.
After Qianzhou City was breached by the imperial army, they fled and wanted to find a place to recuperate. On the way, they encountered other martial arts sects that had suffered heavy losses.
A group of chivalrous men, young and old, gathered together to look after each other and discuss what to do next.
Because of the involvement of the underworld people in the riots, Qianzhong Dao severely suppressed the underworld sects. They could not go back and had to find a new place to settle down.
But the world is in chaos, where can we find a safe place?
When everyone was at a loss, they met a blind fortune teller on the roadside.
Bai Wuqian and Bai Yuelai did not believe in ghosts and gods, but only in swords and knives. However, at that moment, they were inexplicably led to walk in front of the fortune teller and asked him to tell their fortune.
The old man asked, "What do you want to ask?"
Bai Wuqian: "Where is the future?"
The blind old man: "Ten copper coins."
Bai Yue took out the eight copper coins he had left and poured them into the old man's broken bowl.
The blind old man said calmly:
“Lingnan has mountains, full of vitality and prosperity.”
"Lingnan?" Bai Yue wanted the old man to explain it more clearly.
The old man shook his head: "You only gave me eight cents, so this is all I can measure."
The fortune teller didn't say anything specific, but they all seemed to have gone crazy and subconsciously walked towards the Lingnan Mountains.
After walking for a month or two, all we saw were deep mountains and old forests with few people around, and it was difficult to get out of the mountains again.
To make matters worse, they were hunting wild game in the mountains to satisfy their hunger when they encountered a tiger.
They were hungry, and the tiger was hungry too.
The group was extremely weak at the moment, and their wounds had not yet healed. How could they possibly defeat an adult tiger and three drooling cubs behind it?
Someone thought of making a desperate effort to eat the tiger's meat, so he rushed forward and stabbed the tiger twice, but ended up becoming the tiger's meal.
Everyone stepped back.
The tiger rushed towards Bai Wuqian and Bai Yue.
When Bai Yue was being chased by a tiger, he thought of the fortune-teller.
As expected! She knew that the old man was a scammer, making a net profit of eight cents by making up a random answer.
They were literally delivering food to the tiger from a thousand miles away.
But after they ran forward for a while, they actually ran out of the forest that they had not left for many days.
Outside the forest there was bright sunlight, vast green hillsides, and many villagers armed with weapons.
One of them drew the knife from his waist, and it turned out to be the Dragon Roar Knife!
Bai Wuqian looked at the man again, and it was clearly the second senior brother in his memory.
"Second Brother, you, you're not dead...why are you here?"
Bai Xun turned around and saw two men, as dirty as street beggars, running towards him. He struggled to identify them. Surprise and guilt flashed in his eyes.
"Leadless, Ayue?"
The Dragon Roar Sword in his hand shone coldly, and blood was still dripping from the tip of the sword.
Bai Wuqian and Bai Yue were delighted to see their Second Senior Brother recognize them and hugged him excitedly.
"Second Brother, it's really you!"
They hugged Bai Xun and shouted:
"Great, it's Second Brother, we are saved!"
…
Xue Che's birthday this year was truly memorable.
Not only did he invite many classmates and receive many blessings and gifts, but he also witnessed a tiger pouncing on its prey and a scene of recognition of relatives in the underworld.
After the chaotic scene returned to order, Principal Liu and the students all exclaimed that life in Liangmin Village was truly exciting.
Principal Liu even gave everyone an extra assignment:
"After returning home, all students will write an essay titled 'A Visit to the Village of Good People.' This will be checked along with your other assignments after you return from vacation."
So everyone was happy to write a travelogue.
Su Zhizhi immediately raised her hand: "Headmaster, can A-Che and I not write it?"
Liu Shan stroked his beard and said, "You two should write 'Xue Che's Birthday Chronicle'."
Xue Che had originally planned to record today's events in his notebook and had no objection to this.
Su Zhizhi pinched Xue Che's arm and suddenly regretted inviting the headmaster and the teachers to the mountain...
After the teachers and students of the academy were sent down the mountain by the patrol team, Su Zhizhi wanted to take Xue Che to see the newcomers.
But Hao Ren stopped the two children:
"Zhizhi, A'che, they are people from the underworld. The identities of some of them are still unknown. You should not approach them rashly."
Su Zhizhi asked: "Then who can get close?"
Hao Ren: "The relevant villagers can."
Su Zhizhi and Xue Che did not understand the so-called "relevant villagers", but they did not have the time to think about it, because before sunset in the afternoon was the time for the village school to teach writing.
This is their highlight moment as a young master and cannot be missed.
But today, when they arrived at the school gate as usual, they found that Master Qin had not appeared yet.
The students who come to practice calligraphy should all sit down below.
"Could something have happened to Master Qin?" Xue Che was surprised.
Although Master Qin is old, his eyesight is poor, and he is prone to dozing off...it is never too late for him to come to the school to teach.
Su Zhizhi: "Maybe he will be here soon."
Su Zhizhi and Xue Che taught everyone to continue practicing the characters "柚" and "甜".
But Master Qin did not show up until the sun went down.
When it was time for dinner, Su Zhizhi and Xue Che went to the kitchen with their bowls. Su Zhizhi raised the bowl as usual and said:
"Grandma Qiu, I want a big spoonful of gravy. I'll eat it all."
Aunt Cuihua scooped a spoonful of gravy and poured it over Zhizhi's rice:
"Aunt Qiu seems to be busy and is not here at the moment."
Su Zhizhi was surprised: "Grandma Qiu is not here either?"
Although there are more people in the kitchen now, Grandma Qiu is always there when it comes to getting food.
Su Zhizhi felt very strange and wanted to go home to ask her mother.
There are some things that her father doesn't tell her, but her mother will explain them to her quietly.
"Mom, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qiu are both missing today."
As soon as Su Zhizhi returned to the yard, she started calling for her mother.
"mother--"
"mother?"
I shouted several times, but found no one in the yard.
Only Po was calling “Gu-gu-gu”.
Su Zhizhi's face was full of question marks.
Huh? Even my mother is missing?
Where has everyone gone?
