Chapter 9 Clues
Shen Yingxue knew without a second thought how these two people would react after she said this.
He has seen this kind of situation many times. At first he would tap his toes on the ground in embarrassment, but now he has gotten used to it and continues watching the anime as if nothing had happened.
The progress bar is almost at the bottom, I should be able to finish watching this episode.
Jiang Zhiyi turned around and glanced at Han Jing, and felt that his junior uncle's reaction was strange.
Are you afraid that you might not be able to control yourself and hit someone?
Jiang Zhiyi glanced at Han Jing warningly and sat down next to Shen Yingxue, guarding against Han Jing suddenly attacking and hurting people, and also guarding against Shen Yingxue suddenly going crazy.
He is really difficult.
Shen Yingxue was still staring straight ahead, his sight fixed on an unknown place, as if an invisible barrier separated him from the others. They seemed to be in completely different worlds, seeing and hearing different things, thinking and feeling different things.
Even normal people cannot share the same joys and sorrows, let alone someone like Shen Yingxue.
Jiang Zhiyi was a little curious about what he saw.
Something that can become Shen Yingxue's illusion should be very important to him, right?
"Who is he?" Jiang Zhiyi asked.
Han Jing curled his lips and looked at Jiang Zhiyi deeply. His gaze was very complicated. It was hard for Jiang Zhiyi not to notice it, so he turned his head and glanced at him.
Junior Master doesn’t want him to get close to Shen Yingxue?
That's right. Shen Yingxue is the leader of the Demon Cult after all. She is not the same kind of people as the Yuding Villa. The Demon Cult killed not many disciples of the Yuding Villa, and the hatred was not as deep as that of other sects, but Han Jing's family died at their hands. Han Jing was young and could not help but act on impulse. He couldn't bear to see others treat Shen Yingxue well.
"It's a cat." Shen Yingxue said, "It has no ears, and its paws are all white."
The cat without ears must be a stray cat. I can't believe someone like Shen Yingxue actually likes cats.
Jiang Zhiyi felt a little worried when he thought about the current complicated situation.
Shen Yingxue was still able to communicate most of the time, so Jiang Zhiyi came over. There were some things that required Shen Yingxue's cooperation, and this was also related to his safety, so even if Shen Yingxue was unconscious, he still had to understand.
But Shen Yingxue now seems unable to process this information at all.
"Lin Shumo killed someone from Lengcui Villa and was arrested by the government. On the day we met, he was taken to the execution ground and beheaded in front of the public. We originally wanted to rescue him from the execution ground. I went to the village to pick up Lin Shumo, but I didn't expect to meet you."
Shen Yingxue still looked straight ahead, as if she didn't hear what he said.
Jiang Zhiyi stopped.
At this time, Han Jing suddenly said: "Go on, didn't you come here just to tell him this?"
Han Jing retreated to the door at some point, still looking nonchalant, leaning against the door frame with his arms folded. However, his eyes were serious as he looked at Shen Yingxue's back, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Jiang Zhiyi said: "The people of Lengcui Villa colluded with the government and led soldiers to Lin Shumo's home to arrest people, and burned down the village. Now Lin Shumo's whereabouts are unknown, and his mother is also missing. She may have fallen into the hands of Lengcui Villa."
After Shen Yingxue finished watching this episode, the mosaic in his hearing disappeared. He heard Lin Shumo's mother and casually replied, "No, you have seen her."
"What?"
"You've seen Xiaolin's mother. Wasn't it you who let her go?" Shen Yingxue tilted her head. How come this person didn't remember anything at all? Was it his mosaic that tampered with his memory again, or was this person's memory as bad as his?
Jiang Zhiyi also realized what Shen Yingxue was talking about. The more he understood, the more regretful he felt.
Who would have thought that the woman was Lin Shumo's mother!
Why is Shen Yingxue with Lin Shumo's mother?
"That..." Shen Yingxue paused and found a suitable wording, "The man who often wears black clothes, he went to save Xiaolin."
"Who is the person who often wears black clothes?" Jiang Zhiyi didn't expect to get clues from Shen Yingxue. But it's true, Shen Yingxue ran away from Lin Shumo's village, so she must have some connection with that place.
It's a pity that he's a lunatic and his words are not entirely believable. Even so, it's still a good clue.
"I don't know either." Shen Yingxue shook her head. "He has been taking care of me. He often wears black clothes. I can't see his face clearly, but he seems to be a little older than me."
Jiang Zhiyi asked: "What do you remember?"
"And there are lotus flowers." Shen Yingxue wanted to laugh when she thought of Gu Liansheng holding his mother's portrait. "The lotus flower smells very good. It's a white lotus flower, very fresh and tender. I wonder if it will have lotus seeds."
"Lotus?" Could it be a token of Lengcui Villa or some other force?
Jiang Zhiyi asked Shen Yingxue a few more questions, but Shen Yingxue couldn't answer any of them. He kept laughing when he talked about lotus, and he was still laughing when Jiang Zhiyi asked questions, and his laughter made Jiang Zhiyi feel uneasy.
Just at this time, Jiang Hanfeng came back. He was not surprised to see Han Jing and Jiang Zhiyi there.
Han Jing and Jiang Zhiyi saluted him.
Shen Yingxue looked at the three of them thoughtfully.
Han Jing is Jiang Hanfeng's junior apprentice and Jiang Zhiyi's uncle. He is also Han Jing's adoptive father. Based on this relationship, Jiang Hanfeng should call him uncle? Jiang Zhiyi should call him great uncle, right?
It's really a blessing to have such a good son.
The next evening, Shen Yingxue's medicine was prepared and sent over.
This prescription was different from the ones he had taken before, and it was said to be written by Jiang Xi'an. Shen Yingxue thought that Jiang Xi'an had never even met him, and the prescription he wrote might not be so suitable for his condition, but he didn't expect that the effect was much better than the medicine he had taken before. After only two doses, the injuries on his body were no longer so painful, and he could sleep soundly at night.
Now that she was in better shape, Shen Yingxue felt much more comfortable watching dramas, and she also had the energy to deal with the people from Yuding Villa.
Jiang Hanfeng came to bother him every day, and every time he would talk about acupuncture points on the human body and discuss what kind of posture was more suitable for practicing martial arts.
This person is cold and silent, and seems to be taciturn, but I didn't expect that he loves this. Shen Yingxue had never learned yoga or massage before she traveled through time, and she had no idea what Jiang Hanfeng was talking about. She could only try to put on a stupid expression and ask some ridiculous questions to deal with it.
He thought Jiang Hanfeng would give up when faced with difficulties, but he didn't expect that he was so persistent and came to talk to him every day. Shen Yingxue saw no hope and could only compromise. She listened to him carefully and really learned a lot.
He was completely immersed in the ocean of knowledge, and thought that after escaping from the dangerous situation and removing these complicated mosaics, he could apply for a job at a clinic and be a doctor treating bruises and injuries.
"Second Senior Brother, are you going to discuss Dao with Shen Yingxue again?"
Han Jing has been coming here these days when he has nothing to do. He really wants to get in touch with Shen Yingxue and see what instructions his adoptive father has. Last time, Jiang Zhiyi was there, so it was not convenient to talk alone. Before Shen Yingxue could give any hints, Jiang Hanfeng came back, so he and Jiang Zhiyi had to leave.
Jiang Hanfeng has been on guard against him during this period, and Han Jing has not been successful so far.
Jiang Hanfeng nodded.
Han Jing's martial arts were all taught by Jiang Hanfeng. In name, they were brothers, but in reality, they were like master and apprentice. The person Han Jing had the most contact with in Yuding Villa was Jiang Hanfeng, and he was also very clear about how thrifty Jiang Hanfeng was with words.
It was because of this that he understood how incredible it was that Jiang Hanfeng would discuss Taoism with Shen Yingxue every day.
"Can he really understand?" Han Jing said with disdain, "Shen Yingxue is so crazy, it's good enough that she can explain it clearly. Second Senior Brother has this skill, why don't you teach me more?"
Jiang Hanfeng glanced at him calmly and said, "He's fine."
Han Jing suddenly felt like things were out of control. Jiang Hanfeng shouldn't have reacted like this based on his personality. Jiang Hanfeng felt very uncomfortable. "What's so good about him?"
Jiang Hanfeng's expression changed, and a hint of warmth appeared on his usually cold face. "He has indeed forgotten a lot of things. Even if he is insane, he is different from ordinary people."
Shen Yingxue's progress can be described as rapid. She knew nothing at the beginning, but now she can answer some simple questions.
"His comprehension is far superior to mine." Jiang Hanfeng was sincerely convinced and exclaimed: "If he was not a member of the Demon Sect, he would definitely become a great hero."
Han Jing already knew that his adoptive father was a very powerful person, and Jiang Hanfeng's praise also proved this fact from another perspective. I never thought that Jiang Hanfeng would praise his adoptive father so much. He was indeed a sword fanatic, with only martial arts in his heart, and no prejudice against good and evil.
Jiang Hanfeng's eyes suddenly lit up. "You used to be a member of the Demonic Cult. Have you ever come into contact with Shen Yingxue? What kind of person was he?"
The sharp eyes seemed to penetrate Han Jing's skin, revealing his little thoughts. He didn't expect Jiang Hanfeng to suddenly ask this, "Master, Senior Brother..."
"What kind of person could Shen Yingxue be? He is cruel and merciless. Even members of the Demon Cult have died in his hands." Han Jing smiled stiffly. Thinking of the stories he had made up, he did not dare to say anything good about Shen Yingxue. "A small person like me is not qualified to appear in front of him. Otherwise, how could I escape alive?"
"Really?" Jiang Hanfeng said calmly, without showing any emotion.
"People outside already know that Shen Yingxue is here. How long do you plan to hide Shen Yingxue?" Han Jing asked tentatively, "If this continues, it won't be long before the other major sects jointly attack Yuding Villa."
Jiang Hanfeng said coldly: "You mean, I want to hand Shen Yingxue over to you?"
There was a deep blood feud between Shen Yingxue and Han Jing. Shen Yingxue fell into Han Jing's hands and had no choice but to die. Han Jing killed him to avenge his family, and then handed over Shen Yingxue's body to give an explanation to others.
This is indeed a good idea, but Jiang Hanfeng can't do it, and no one in Yuding Villa wants Han Jing to have blood on his hands.
Han Jing seems lazy and casual, but he is very stubborn in nature. This stubbornness is definitely not a good thing. Han Jing might go astray at any time and become a madman like the cult who kills people without blinking an eye.
Han Jing narrowed his eyes and smiled: "If Senior Brother is willing, that would be great."
"Absolutely not!" Jiang Hanfeng warned him sharply, hoping that he would not be so obsessed with revenge. "Except for me, no one has the power to deal with Shen Yingxue!"
Han Jing's smile gradually froze.
He suddenly remembered that there was a legend in Yuding Villa.
Jiang Hanfeng, who was always cold and icy, suddenly brought a man back from outside and hid him in his residence. He did not leave the villa, nor did he appear in front of people. This behavior of hiding a beautiful woman in a golden house was enough to show that the usually cold and ruthless second owner of the villa might have someone he liked!
When the second manor owner brought that person back, the two of them took a walk in the manor together, and Jiang Hanfeng's expression was more gentle than ever before.
After all the calculations, the only person who could match the number was Shen Yingxue.
The ordinary disciples in the villa did not know Shen Yingxue's identity, but they all knew what kind of person Jiang Hanfeng was, so the news was spread so outrageously.
Also, a few years ago, when the Demon Cult was being encircled and suppressed, Jiang Hanfeng, as the most skilled martial artist in the villa, voluntarily withdrew and did not participate.
Think carefully about Jiang Hanfeng's attitude towards Shen Yingxue... Could it be that Second Senior Brother really has fallen in love with his adoptive father?
But his adoptive father is a madman... Could it be that he wants to take advantage of his adoptive father's unconsciousness and trick him into getting married secretly?
But the adoptive father was just pretending. If the adoptive father found out, Jiang Hanfeng would be killed by him.
