Chapter 21 Death by Black Tiger Fist
Chen Luo did not disturb Old Liu. He paused for a moment, bowed to Aunt Wang, and then continued walking forward.
The further you go, the more desolate it becomes.
The places most destroyed by war were where these poor people lived.
Chen Luo would see someone burning paper almost every two steps he took. Some families had one person dead, some had only one person left, and there were even several families whose lights were dark forever. No one in the family was spared.
This kind of scene makes people feel upset.
Finally, Chen Luo arrived at his uncle's house.
After taking a look at the kicked-down wooden door and the dark interior, he walked in.
As soon as I entered the door, I felt black dust under my feet, and it felt soft when I stepped on it.
It was obvious that the house had been ravaged by the bandits, and was in a mess. Even the water tank in the yard had been broken. The main hall had also been burned, and the main hall had collapsed. The side rooms were still intact, and it seemed that someone had come to put out the fire later.
After taking a quick look around, Chen Luo quickly walked to the place where his third uncle had buried Eunuch Wei.
Although Uncle San's technique was very professional, the time was too tight after all. If someone came to investigate, they would definitely find traces.
“Someone really came here!”
Chen Luo's pupils shrank slightly.
He squatted down and checked carefully, and soon he found something wrong.
The area where Uncle San was covering up the lime had been disturbed, and the black ash from burning the clothes of Eunuch Wei and others had also been turned out. Although it overlapped with the fire scene behind, the ash left after burning different materials was different. Chen Luo had been a burial man with Uncle San for a long time, so he could tell the difference.
To professionals, these traces are clues.
"Someone from the palace? Or someone else?"
Chen Luo stood up and messed up the black ashes again, mixing them with the dust from the burning house. This matter was definitely not over yet. The people behind Eunuch Wei were very cautious. So far, Chen Luo didn't know who the enemy he was going to face was.
However, he also had a breakthrough, and that was the magistrate of Qingya County.
If he just wanted to kill him before, now he has another reason. It is definitely not okay to passively take a beating. No one can defend themselves for a lifetime. He must find that hand and cut it off completely. He doesn't want to live with his uncle for the rest of his life in the unknown pursuit, and he dare not even turn over when he sleeps.
"I can't come to this place anymore."
Chen Luo didn't stay any longer and got up and walked out of the house.
Looking at the civilians in the distance who looked like zombies, a sense of enlightenment arose in his mind.
strength!
Only strong strength can give him the confidence to survive. It is useless to reason with others in this world, unless you have the strength to make the other party sit down and listen to your reasoning.
If he had not happened to learn martial arts this time, he and his third uncle might have been among the corpses lying on the ground.
Going around the alley in front, Chen Luo went to the street where he had shot two soldiers to death before.
The street was completely quiet at this moment, not a single person could be seen.
The bodies were cleaned up, but no one cared about what happened next. It was normal for two people to die in Qingya County, which was already in chaos. These remaining bandits were not good people either. Rather than being soldiers, they were bandits who just happened to be wearing the skin of government officials.
After making sure the little girl was not in danger, Chen Luo turned and flew in another direction.
He was going to go see his master Ma Cuzi and his junior sister He Min.
Neither of them are ordinary people, and their chances of survival are much greater than those of ordinary people.
Previously, I was not strong enough, so I could only protect my uncle. Now that I have the ability, I naturally have to take care of the people around me as much as possible, otherwise all my martial arts would be in vain.
After crossing the street, we soon arrived at the blockade area.
The once blocked neighborhood was now unattended. Chen Luofei passed by the houses and saw several burned houses. These houses were the property of Mr. Bai from Qingya County. Because of his "private connection with the bandits", these houses were raided, the things inside were taken away, and the walls were demolished.
When passing by a house, Chen Luo suddenly stopped and jumped into the yard.
Unlike other burned areas, this courtyard was very well preserved. Even the flowers and plants in the courtyard remained in their original state. The study inside was neatly arranged, and there was ink that had been ground in the inkstone. It seemed that an important person must have lived here before.
Chen Luo looked around and made sure that there was no one around before jumping into the room.
The room was clean and tidy, and there was a faint fragrance. Chen Luo walked to the desk, dipped his index finger into the inkstone to pick up some ink, and put it to his nose to smell it.
"Within ten days."
Through the ink, he roughly estimated the time when the people in the yard left.
This period of time was when Qingya County was in "rebellion". The people in this yard knew about it in advance and left. They must have been related to those people. At the very least, they should know who was the mastermind behind the "suppression of bandits".
"Wang Chengguan?"
Chen Luo found this name on the desk next to him.
The handwriting is very neat, with powerful strokes, just like sword moves.
Chen Luo doesn't understand calligraphy, but he can tell that this is a good piece of calligraphy.
After putting the paper in his arms, he searched the house again. After making sure there were no useful clues, he stood up and walked towards Ma Cuzi's house.
The journey was delayed and the night grew deeper.
The cold air enveloped the town, making this post-war county town even colder.
Soon, Chen Luo came to the alley where Ma Quezi lived. Like the alley where Chen Laosan lived, this one had also been looted. The boiler next to Ma Quezi's house had been knocked over, the windows were burned black, and the paper pasted on them had burned away. The same was true for Ma Quezi's house. All the repair tools were gone, and the bench next to it had been kicked over.
The door was half open, swaying slightly in the night wind, making a creaking sound.
Chen Luo glanced at the gate, then glanced at the wall next to it. Climbing over the wall was safer than going through the gate, as it could prevent someone from opening the door and killing him.
So he gently pushed his feet
The whole person jumped up like a flying swallow, and fell into the courtyard wall in two steps. This is a way to use internal energy. After strengthening the bones, Chen Luo's control over his own strength has become more refined, and he can do many actions that he couldn't do before.
The yard was empty.
All the equipment Chen Luo used to practice martial arts had been overturned, the sandbags had fallen to the side, the canvas had been cut, and the sand was scattered all over the floor. The main hall had also been knocked open, and the only intact door panel was covered with knife marks.
Chen Luo walked quickly to the door, and as soon as he stepped over the threshold, he saw a corpse lying inside.
His heart tightened and he quickly stepped forward and turned the body over.
A strange face.
"fine."
Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief, but soon he realized something was wrong.
Because this corpse was actually beaten to death by someone with a fist. The move was the killer move in the Black Tiger Fist - Black Tiger Heart-Ripping!
Thinking of this, Chen Luo tore off the man's clothes and found that there was indeed a hole in his chest and the heart inside had been dug out.
"Did Master Ma kill this powerful man?"
Chen Luo touched the wound with his hand, and the residual power of the Black Tiger Fist on it made him feel a sense of familiarity.
