Chapter 16 Master
***
Long after Jiang Lianzhu came down the mountain, a strange sound of insects chirping, like some kind of whistle, was heard in the silent forest.
The sound is sometimes melodious and gentle, sometimes sharp and rapid.
The sound could be heard from far away in the mountains and forests.
The man in brocade clothes who was unconscious in the cave suddenly moved his ears and woke up.
He slowly opened his eyes, endured the severe pain in his body, and struggled to pull out a small, shiny black bamboo whistle from his collar.
Put it to your lips... and blow it.
After a while, several men in black quickly approached.
"The master is here!"
"Master, how are you?"
"It's okay." The man in brocade clothes had deep eyes, long eyelashes gathered like dense fans, and a face as exquisitely carved as jade, more handsome than a woman's, but the coldness and solemnity in his body would make most people avoid him.
As soon as he woke up, he glanced around and looked intently at the wound on his waist.
Several of his men also noticed it.
One of them asked in surprise, "Master, who bandaged your wound?" This bandaging technique seems simple, but it is effective. It cannot be done by someone without many years of bandaging experience.
The man in brocade clothes recalled, "I don't know either. He must be a hunter from the mountains."
At that time, his consciousness was blurred and he only had a little instinct.
He seemed to feel someone bandaging his wound, but he couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman. The person first cleaned the toxins from his wound and then bandaged it.
There was also the sound of clothes being torn into strips.
He looked at the strips of cloth, which were worn-out coarse cloth, some of which even had patches on them.
This shows that those who are from poor families and can enter the mountains are most likely hunters.
Ordinary villagers would not dare to go into the mountains, nor would they bandage his wounds so calmly.
The man who had just asked the question chanted a Buddhist chant to the west, "Master, you are a man of good fortune. May God bless you. Even in such a desolate mountain forest, you can still meet a noble person."
Otherwise, the master might not have woken up by now.
The forest was vast, and if the master hadn't responded to their signal, who knew if they would ever find him if they searched aimlessly? Even if they did, they would probably just collect the body.
The man in brocade clothes suddenly asked, "Xiangdong, did you see anything unusual in the sky?"
Xiangdong and Xiangxi are the two main bodyguards accompanying the man in brocade clothes.
At this moment, everyone was stunned. "In the sky? Oh! Yes! There seems to be traces of golden eagles. I seem to hear the calls of golden eagles..."
This forest is deep, so it is not surprising to see large birds like golden eagles.
As long as you don't provoke it, the golden eagle will not attack humans for no reason.
The man in brocade clothes shook his head slightly. "No, it looks like some kind of surveillance device?"
Xiangdong's expression became serious. "Master, do you suspect the assassin is still secretly tracking you with flying devices? I have heard that some people use small flying devices like flying insects and nighthawks to track people from the sky."
"It doesn't seem like it, it shouldn't be. Forget it, has the assassin been caught? Who on earth is trying to assassinate me?" The man in brocade clothes was confused. It didn't seem like a flying insect, because he felt it was very far away, but it was definitely someone sizing him up. He instinctively shouted for help.
Afterwards, someone came to bandage his wound.
Xiangxi began to report, "Master, the assassin was a determined soldier. When he was caught, he committed suicide before our subordinates could question him. We haven't found out who sent him yet. Please punish him."
The man in brocade clothes remained calm, as he had already anticipated the worst outcome.
Anyone who dares to attack him is a desperate person.
Since they dared to attack him, they must have thought about it for a long time. It would be strange if they could find clues easily.
"Let's go back first."
The injury is serious, and the toxins that have invaded the body have not been completely cleared out. I don’t know how long it will take to recover.
There is no rush. Since he is here and since he is not dead, he must figure out the fog that shrouds this place, uncover the mystery here, leave no place for demons and monsters to hide, and complete the mission.
The country of Da'an will not tolerate any parasites in the country, nor will it tolerate any dark ghosts.
***
The yard door was wide open.
Many villagers were watching, surrounding the Jiang family so tightly that no one could get in or out.
There were loud voices and curses coming out...
"Stop! You can't take our wolf meat. That's our food..."
"Why can't I take it? I'm your grandmother, and you eat wolf meat at home without showing any respect to me, your wife. How can that be right? I waited for you all day yesterday, and you're so careless, eating it all by yourself behind closed doors. You have a guilty conscience, and you will be struck by lightning! Hey, you little brat, you crazy little mute, you dare to bite me? Are you rebelling against heaven?"
…
As soon as Jiang Lianzhu returned home, she heard the noisy noise inside.
He walked in with a gloomy face.
Little Nanbao stood on the steps like a little wolfhound, biting the wrist of a short and fat old woman.
Because the old woman was holding a piece of wolf meat in her hand, which Jiang Lianzhu had pickled yesterday and dried in the yard today.
The old woman was in a rage, and was about to throw the little girl out with a flick of her hand.
Jiang Lianzhu shouted, "Stop! Who are you? How dare you come to our house in broad daylight to steal things? And even hit people? Don't you have any laws?"
As he said this, he walked forward, put down the pheasant and rabbit, and went to pick up the little girl.
Mrs. Wang Liu was furious. "Who am I? I'm your mother-in-law, Wang Laowu's biological father! What's the matter? You've hooked up with a wild man, and you want to remarry? How dare you talk to your mother-in-law like that?"
Jiang Lianzhu matched this old woman with the original owner's memory.
It’s Wang Liu Pozi.
She smiled contemptuously, "You kicked us, an orphan and a widow, out of the house. What kind of mother-in-law are you? What mother-in-law would kick her daughter-in-law and grandchildren out of the house and let them starve to death just because her son is missing? Is someone like you worthy of being called a mother-in-law in front of us?"
When Dabao and Erbao saw Jiang Lianzhu coming back, they suddenly felt braver and more confident.
Just now, in order to protect the wolf meat, they didn't notice that their sister had done such a dangerous thing, and they were all frightened and broke out in cold sweats.
"Yes, you are not worthy to be our wet nurse. Give the wolf meat back to us! We would rather feed it to the dogs than give it to a dead old woman like you!" Erbao stepped forward and snatched the dried wolf meat back from Wang Liupo's hands.
Dabao calmly took the pheasant and rabbit that Jiang Lianzhu brought back and put them back in the kitchen.
He was afraid that Wang Liupo would take a fancy to him and make plans for him.
Mrs. Wang Liu was so angry that her feet were shaking. "You, you! You are so good, Jiang Lianzhu. Not only did you cheat on other men, but you also instigated all the children of our Wang family to become such uneducated little things. You little bitch, you jinx..."
