Chapter 132 I am Changxi
"What is this? A broken jade pendant? Who are you embarrassing? Fuck him!" Du Buqin threw away the light note first, then picked up the half jade pendant with two fingers with great disgust, ready to throw it again.
The usually calm and taciturn man's expression suddenly changed when he saw the jade pendant. He stepped forward and quickly snatched the jade pendant away.
He held the broken jade pendant in his hand, looking at the familiar carved patterns on it and the few incomplete strokes on the jade surface. The broken finger bones turned white, the veins on the back of his hand were bulging, his eyes were getting redder and redder, and the muscles on his face were trembling.
The playful smile on Du Buqin's face faded, and his voice tightened, "Broken Knife?"
Xiao Su's family was also frightened, their expressions becoming serious, "Master Broken Blade, what's going on?"
In the medicine garden, the children came out jumping and skipping at this time. They could see that the atmosphere was not right. Several boys were so scared that they didn't dare to say a word for a while.
They had seen Uncle Duan Dao at his most ferocious, but he never looked as scary as he does now.
It's like he's about to pick up a knife and chop someone down.
Not to mention them, Wang Chuan, who brought the box, had already collapsed to the ground due to weak legs.
He came to deliver the box not because he was afraid of death, but because he guessed that the incident was related to Lord Duan Dao and was worried about delaying Lord's business.
If he had known it was so scary, he should have tricked Xiaoxiao into delivering it!
Tianbao stood at the head of the group of kids, looking at Uncle Duandao who was different from usual. His head tilted slowly, his clear almond-shaped eyes darkened, and his little mouth pursed up a little bit.
Confused.
She didn't know why Uncle Duan Dao was like this.
But she was a little angry because someone was bullying Uncle Duan Dao.
Light footsteps approached, and Huo Ziheng came out of the house at some point. He bent down to pick up the note on the ground and unfolded it. After reading the words on it, his brows furrowed.
"If you want to know about the jade pendant, please come to the headquarters at Pier 12 to talk. I'm waiting for you." He read the note out loud.
On the broken jade pendant, there was half a character "Yuan" written on the jade surface.
The next moment, Duan Dao clutched the jade pendant and rushed out of the village. His body was extremely fast and his momentum was as strong as wind and rain.
"Hey! Hey, hey! I asked you a question and you haven't answered yet, why are you running away!" Du Buqin's eyes flashed with anxiety, and he stomped his feet and was about to chase after him, "People brought a piece of crap and asked you to talk to it, and you went, do you have any brains? They must have dug a trap waiting for you! Damn it, why don't you take me with you, idiot!"
"Wait a minute, Mr. Du, Duan Dao will not be in danger for the time being." Huo Ziheng said.
Du Buqin said angrily, "You say there's no such thing? What if there is? If I go quickly, I might be able to collect his body intact!"
"I suspect the jade pendant is related to Duan Dao's surviving relatives, perhaps his only remaining relatives. The bearded man sent the jade pendant because he must have found Duan Dao's weak spot. Since he has a weak spot at hand, he won't easily kill Duan Dao." Huo Ziheng said, "If you follow him now, it would be bad. If the bearded man holds Duan Dao and asks you to massacre Tubei Village, what will you do? What will Duan Dao do?"
Du Buqun stopped and his face was so cold that it was unbearable to look at.
If the bearded man really threatened him with the broken knife, he would be caught in a dilemma.
Broken Knife... With that bastard's temper, I'm afraid he would commit suicide on the spot to protect his bottom line and principles.
Damn it.
He could only watch the other person jump into the pit.
"If he dares to use Broken Knife, only one of us, Twelve Piers and I, Du Buqin, will survive!" Du Buqin spoke each word clearly.
Aren’t Xiao Su’s family members also anxious?
Seeing Duan Dao rush out and disappear in an instant, they could only stand by and worry, unable to do anything to help.
This useless feeling of powerlessness kept gnawing at their hearts, making them feel so uncomfortable that they wanted to cry, but tears were the most useless thing.
The corners of Old Man Su's eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth, "Lord Broken Blade was... implicated by us."
Old Lady Su and the others were so filled with guilt and anger that they couldn't even speak.
Du Buqin glanced at them, his hands on his hips, "Bullshit! That guy with the long beard has always had bad intentions!"
"Just as Du Lao said. The bearded man has the jade pendant in his hands, and it won't be long. Even if this incident hadn't been a trigger, he would still use it to threaten Broken Knife one day in the future. It's just a matter of time." Huo Ziheng pondered, "Don't worry, everyone. Just stay calm and wait and see what they have to say."
When everyone was at a loss, a tall and thin figure appeared at the other end of the loess road in the village. He shrank back and forth, nodding and bowing to people who greeted him along the way.
Su Er was the first to notice the other person. His eyes widened and he pointed his finger at that person, trembling and unable to speak. He felt the pain on the side of his neck begin to hurt again.
Looking at the person who was obviously familiar to him, he felt strange.
Everyone looked over there and saw Changdong trotting over. He kept wiping the sweat off his face as he ran, his eyes still as withdrawn as they had been at the beginning, not daring to look anyone in the eye.
When he got closer, Changdong pulled up his sleeves to cover his face, his eyes fixed on the ground, "Ah, I've seen that jade pendant before. Someone used to sell it in the city, and it was bought by the big bearded man, the leader of the Twelve Piers Gang—"
Du Buqin stepped forward and grabbed his collar. His height was only up to Changdong's chin, but his aura was eighteen heads taller than Changdong's. "What the hell are you talking about!"
Broken Blade had already run away with the jade pendant. You just appeared out of nowhere and mentioned the jade pendant. Where's your clairvoyance? Can you see from a thousand miles away?
With a sneer, Du Buqin took out a black pill with his free hand and stuffed it into Changdong's mouth without saying a word.
Chang Dong hurriedly tilted his neck back and had to speak in a human voice, "The jade pendant belongs to Master Broken Blade's nephew. He's alive and safe! Big Beard can't find him!"
Everyone: “…”
After hearing Changdong's words, regardless of whether it was true or not, I felt a little relieved.
Su Er swallowed his saliva, "Changdong, you——"
"I'm Changxi."
Everyone: “…”
“…”
Changxi was almost frightened by this atmosphere and started crying. "I don't know anything. I just came here to pass on a message. Please spare me and don't hit me!"
Su Er swallowed again, "You are Changxi, then who is Changdong? The one who knows martial arts?"
"No, no, no, I don't know, help!" Changxi wanted to run, but the tall man was grabbed by the little old man and couldn't take another step.
I look westward at the sky and shed tears.
At this time, Huo Ziheng, who was standing aside, chuckled softly and began to fan himself again after a long pause. "Don't embarrass him. What he said is true. Now, we just need to pass this news to Duan Dao's ears, and the bearded man won't be able to do anything to him."
"Oh my god!" Du Buqin threw Changxi away and ran away.
When Xiao Su's family came to their senses, they looked at the small pendant that had been hung on the old man's leg at some point and their whole bodies twitched.
"Tianbao! Come down!"
"Grandpa Du has something important to do, why are you joining in the fun? Come back quickly!"
"Du Lao, Du Lao, wait a moment, put Tian Bao down first!"
The old man didn’t know whether he heard it or not, but the person didn’t come back.
