Chapter 63: Following behind
Tang Xiaoyun and Tan Tai Lie, who were hiding in a small village, had no idea that the martial arts world was about to undergo tremendous changes.
Tang Xiaoyun, who had been hiding in the house for two days, became anxious when he saw that Tan Tai Lie showed no signs of waking up.
At this moment, the young man happened to come in to deliver food, so Tang Xiaoyun asked, "Brother, what's the situation outside now?"
The young man knew he was asking about those outsiders, so he said, "A few days ago, that group of people searched around but couldn't find it, so they went back. It's relatively safe outside now."
The young man placed the food on the table and asked, "Sir, are you going out?"
Tang Xiaoyun nodded and looked at Tan Tai Lie, whose eyes were tightly closed, and said, "He hasn't woken up yet. I want to get some medicine and ask a doctor to come and see him."
After hearing this, the young man walked to the bed and said, "Okay, go ahead. I'll help you guard this place."
Tang Xiaoyun felt warm in his heart. Thanks to the help of the young man and the old man over the past few days, he didn't have to flee everywhere with Tan Tai Lie on his back.
"I've been bothering you for several days, but I still don't know your name."
"My name is Yusheng, because my mother gave birth to me on a rainy night, so I was named Yusheng. It's strange, isn't it, how can someone name someone so casually?"
Yu Sheng joked self-deprecatingly.
Tang Xiaoyun's mind moved, and he smiled and said, "Your mother gave you this name because she naturally hoped that you would be safe and sound, just like the one born and raised by nature. How could it be strange?"
Yu Sheng was stunned: "Is that what you mean? If she lives a few more years, I can ask her."
Hearing a hint of loneliness in Yu Sheng's words, Tang Xiaoyun patted his shoulder and comforted him: "I believe that when she was alive, she must have been happy with you."
Yu Sheng sniffed and regained his usual lively demeanor, saying, "I'm fine. You don't have to rush to comfort me. Go ahead. I'll help you watch over here."
"good."
Tang Xiaoyun said no more, picked up his cloak, put it on and went out.
The outsiders that Yu Sheng mentioned were no longer seen in the village, which made him feel relieved.
To get medicine and see a doctor, he had to go to a small town outside the village. He tried his best to avoid the crowds along the way to the town.
The town was not big, but it was very lively. He first went to the medicine store to get some Chinese herbal medicines for strengthening the body. When he walked out of the medicine store, he happened to meet a group of Quanzhen disciples.
He hurriedly pulled his cloak down and turned around, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.
The group of Quanzhen disciples passed by him, but did not notice him because he was wearing a cloak.
Only after they had gone far away did Tang Xiaoyun look up at the group of people leaving, thinking to himself, "They're not in the village anymore, they've actually reached the town. It seems they haven't given up yet."
The system reminded: [Host, it’s better to finish your work and go back as soon as possible.]
【good. 】
Tang Xiaoyun did not delay any longer and went to the clinic to see the outpatient doctor. There was a storyteller at the door of the clinic.
He closed his folding fan, his face beaming with joy as he spoke, "It's said that the great demon, Tan Tai Lie, is still unaccounted for, and his brother, Tan Tai Yin, instead of avenging his brother, has invited all the major sects to negotiate peace. If you want to know what happens next, please listen to the next episode."
Tang Xiaoyun paused as he entered the clinic and turned his head to look at the storyteller who was setting up a stall in front of the clinic's door.
Seeing that he was on time, the person listening to the book said dissatisfiedly, "Tsk, you always get stuck at the critical moment, are you doing this on purpose?"
The storyteller smiled mysteriously, opened his folding fan and danced lightly, saying, "I've finished. Who wants to listen to my storytelling from now on?"
Tang Xiaoyun retracted his gaze, muttering in his heart: [System, what do you think Tan Tai Yin meant by doing this?]
System: [What do you mean? How would I know what Tan Tai Yin is thinking?]
Tang Xiaoyun shook his head: [It stands to reason that the big devil was surrounded by a group of people and his life or death was unknown. As a brother, he didn't avenge his brother immediately, didn't send people to find him, and instead negotiated peace with the enemies who wanted to kill his brother. Don't you think it's strange?]
The system pondered for a moment and then said, "It's a bit strange to hear you say that. This style of behavior doesn't quite fit the image of a paper-thin Tan Tai Yin."
[Right? How about I go and ask around?]
Tang Xiaoyun turned around hurriedly, intending to ask the storyteller what else he knew.
But as soon as he turned around, he bumped into a person head-on. He had a broad and thick chest, and a pattern of Teng Yun was embroidered on the collar. As he spoke, he looked up and saw a face as cold as an icy mountain staring at him coldly.
Tang Xiaoyun quickly straightened his cloak that had been knocked askew and said softly, "I'm sorry."
He was about to pass by, but the icy-faced man stopped him with his hand, then took out a portrait and asked, "Have you seen this person?"
When Tang Xiaoyun saw the person in the portrait through the gauze of the cloak, his heart skipped a beat.
Because the person in the portrait was none other than Tan Tai Lie.
He quickly turned his eyes away and said, "I don't know him."
"You really don't know him?" The man with the iceberg face's voice was obviously lower than before, his eyes fixed on the face under the cloak.
Tang Xiaoyun was panicking, but his face remained strong and calm: "You are such a strange person. If you say you don't know me, then you don't know me. How many times do you want to ask?"
"Get out of the way!" Tang Xiaoyun pushed Bingshan Face and quickened his pace as he walked out of the clinic.
The icy-faced man narrowed his eyes slightly and frowned as he stared at the figure that was fleeing in panic.
At this time, Chu Xiao came to the Iceberg Face with the buns he had just bought and said, "Big Brother, these are freshly baked buns. Want some?"
“…”
Not hearing any answer, Chu Xiao followed his gaze and saw that the figure was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.
"Big Brother, you're still looking at me now that everyone's gone. I'm asking you if you want some buns?"
Lin Feng seemed not to hear this, and said to Chu Xiao without turning his head: "Wait for me here, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, he followed the figure and caught up.
"Hey, then I'll wait for you at Yuelai Inn!" Chu Xiao said in a hoarse voice.
Tang Xiaoyun quickened his pace to avoid the pedestrians. At this moment, the system reminded him: [Host, that person is following us.]
Tang Xiaoyun: [I noticed it.]
Ever since he left the clinic, he always felt as if someone was staring at him closely from behind.
[I don't know if he's from the Tianmo Sect or the Quanzhen Sect, but the most important thing is to get rid of him first.]
Tang Xiaoyun started jogging and turned into a street on the right.
Seeing this, Lin Feng frowned and hurriedly caught up.
In order to completely get rid of the tail behind him, Tang Xiaoyun ran around the streets, choosing streets with dense crowds of people.
Lin Feng cursed him inwardly for being cunning and chased after him relentlessly.
When Tang Xiaoyun fled to the end of the street, a vendor happened to pass by pushing a cart. He used the cart as cover and fled into an alley.
When I arrived at the alley, I found it was a dead end. When I went out, I heard the footsteps of the tail.
He had no choice but to look at the wooden barrels of tuberose placed in a row, opened the lid of one of them and saw: fortunately it was empty.
Without any hesitation, Tang Xiaoyun climbed into the barrel and closed the lid.
At this time, Lin Feng had already chased out of the alley and was stunned: "Where is the person?"
The alley was only that big, but it would take only a blink of an eye for him to escape under his nose.
Lin Feng looked at the wooden barrels placed in a row to store tuberoses, and his eyes gradually became sharp.
