[Comprehensive martial arts] Ancient and modern grocery store

The sun had just risen, and tiny rays of light pierced through the clouds and danced in the moist air.

The ground is full of water, and the muddy road makes people slippery in two steps.

There are beautiful peach blossoms everywhere in the temple.

After the wind and rain last night, the ground was almost covered by peach petals.

Just under a peach tree in the corner of the temple, there was a person lying there quietly, unable to wake up forever.

This person's body was soaked, his clothes were torn, his body was covered in mud and blood, and his face was covered by his messy hair, making it impossible to see his true appearance.

The blood under the body mixed with the rainwater, and the ground it flowed was extremely far away, and some places were dried up, and the blood mixed with the rainwater soaked the soil, forming a deep red-like land.

The person who screamed was an official wife who came from the famous Peach Blossom Temple in the capital.

The lady had breakfast in the morning and was about to leave when she turned a corner when she saw this scene.

The scream almost summoned everyone in the temple.

Xia Jianqing and Chu Liuxiang were no exception.

As soon as the two of them stepped into the yard, they were startled by the blood that hadn't dried up under their feet.

The whole courtyard was filled with the smell of blood and earth.

Xia Jianqing didn't dare to look carefully, turned his head to Chu Liuxiang, and took a deep breath of tulip fragrance.

Chu Liuxiang subconsciously stepped forward to completely block the scene in front of her.

The people who came after hearing the sound were also frightened by the scene in the courtyard and did not dare to take a step forward, blocking the entrance of the courtyard one after another.

Seeing this, the abbot who hurried over was silent for a while, and whispered a Buddha's name in a low voice.

Some people have turned around and rushed to report to the official.

From being silent, everyone gradually began to discuss in low voices.

Xia Jianqing also tugged at Chu Liuxiang: "What did you see?"

Since coming here, Chu Liuxiang has been staring at the corpse.

Xia Jianqing knew that this was the protagonist's illness again.

"I can't see clearly. The fatal wound seems to be on his forehead, and it matches the stone under his head. It may be just an accident."

It is not impossible to fall on a rainy day when the road is too slippery and hit your head on a rock.

But why did this man run to this remote yard in the middle of the night when it was raining?

And this is why Chu Liuxiang has never dared to conclude that it was an accident.

At this time, a few tall men suddenly squeezed in from behind, with dark faces, full beards, furrowed brows and eyes, full of hostility.

I saw them completely ignoring the blood under their feet, walking straight to the man, turning the corpse over, and brushing away the smudged hair, Chu Liuxiang saw the appearance of the corpse clearly.The whole face was covered with blood from the forehead, and some had already started to dry on the face.

Those people in the past looked at each other, then bent down and fumbled around this person, as if they were looking for something.

But they didn't find anything, and they looked at each other again, and a middle-aged man who was the tallest inside shouted to everyone at the gate of the courtyard: "This man is a thief. He stole our things and ran away last night. I didn't expect to slip my foot and fall to my death here."

Another person then shouted: "He has another accomplice, who is among us at this time, and I hope you can help me and let the brothers check it out."

With that said, a huge group of them surrounded the people at the door.

Chu Liuxiang could see that these people had skills, and if it was what they said, Chu Liuxiang could make things easier for them, but it seemed that these people didn't want a peaceful settlement.

Seeing the tall man reaching out to a frail young scholar, Chu Liuxiang said, "What kind of investigation?"

A slightly short man said impatiently: "Search yourself, please be safe, brothers' knives don't have eyes!"

All the people present were ordinary people without martial arts, and many of them were even young ladies who hadn't left the cabinet. Seeing the scene in front of them, they couldn't help shivering.

"I'm afraid a body search won't work."

With so many women present, it was absolutely impossible for Chu Liuxiang to let these big men touch her, let alone Xia Jianqing.

"It's better to wait for the official to come."

Although the rivers and lakes and the imperial court have never interfered with the river, but in the current situation, it is best for the imperial court to intervene.

Unfortunately, these few people do not agree.

"I don't have that much time to spend with you."

As he said that, the slightly short man slashed at Chu Liuxiang with his knife, thinking of making a show of his power.

Chu Liuxiang has always been kind to others. People who are not familiar with him in the world regard him as a devil, but only those who are familiar with him know that he is actually a very kind person because he never kills.

So when Chu Liuxiang saw the knife in front of him slashing towards him, he just pulled Xia Jianqing behind his back, and stretched out his hands to clamp the blade.

Chu Liuxiang's expression did not change, but the extremely thick and huge knife in his hand had gradually broken into pieces and fell from his palm.

The short man showed horror and couldn't help taking a step back. Only he knew what it felt like when he slashed down with the knife.

It's like a knife cut into a stone, no matter how hard you try, it won't move.

The few remaining people saw that the situation here was not right, so they rushed over here with their knives.

Seeing that no one was blocking their retreat, the people behind hurriedly fled in panic.

There was only one Xia Jianqing left.

Xia Jianqing was still out of the situation, and he suddenly started fighting for some reason, but he was very smart to stay close to Chu Liuxiang.

If there is any place that is safest now, it is by Chu Liuxiang's side.

Chu Liuxiang didn't want to spend too much time with them, Xia Jianqing was by his side, and for every second spent, Chu Liuxiang was worried and frightened for every second.

Even though he knew that all these people's martial arts combined could not match his finger, but he was so nervous that his fingers trembled.

Chu Liuxiang hugged Xia Jianqing with his left hand and walked around among these people.

Bandit Commander's lightness kung fu is the best in the world, not to mention that in front of these young people, Chu Liuxiang subconsciously exerted his full strength. It can be said that these people are running around like headless chickens, but they can't even see Chu Liuxiang's body. figure.

Within two seconds, Chu Liuxiang picked up a pile of broken silver that was taken out of these people with his right hand, and suddenly flew into the air with Xia Jianqing's body in his arms.

It wasn't until these people cried out in pain that they realized that they could no longer move, so they could only stand there and stare, watching Chu Liuxiang and Xia Jianqing walk away.

But Xia Jianqing was already dizzy from Chu Liuxiang's speed, and his whole body went limp. He couldn't help thinking, is this the feeling of racing?

He didn't know because he hadn't passed his driver's license test, and he hadn't been to an amusement park to ride a roller coaster.

Xia Jianqing, who was pale and weak, caught Chu Liuxiang's attention.

"What's wrong? They hurt you just now?!"

Chu Xiangshuai hurriedly looked for wounds on Xia Jianqing's body, but Xia Jianqing pushed him away.

Trying to stand firm, Boss Xia refused to admit defeat and said, "I'm fine."

In the end, he added with a blank expression: "Your lightness kung fu is pretty good."

And Chu Xiangshuai, who was famous for his lightness kung fu, was happy all the way because of this sentence.

……

The group of people who were left in Peach Blossom Temple stayed in place stiffly, and were taken away by the official messenger who arrived late.

Several men explained all the way before they were about to get away.

"Bah, a little boy came out halfway, and everything Manager Yang explained was messed up."

The tall, dark-skinned one turned around and walked towards Peach Blossom Temple: "Go back and look for it."

And these people searched the Peach Blossom Temple, but they couldn't find the letter.

"Damn it, these old things claim to be famous and decent, but they do this sneaky thing every day!"

"This person was also silenced by the other side, wouldn't our clues be broken?"

Several people were covered in dust and dirt, and they gathered their heads together to discuss in low voices.

A little novice who passed by was grabbed and dragged to him by them: "Let me ask you, what's the origin of that little boy who made the shot just now?"

Several people have planned to push all this matter to Chu Liuxiang.

The little novice was trembling, and said in a low voice: "I don't know too much, I only know that they came in to hide from the rain in the middle of the night last night and only stayed for one night."

The tall man stared: "Come here in the middle of the night!?"

The eyeliner who died also escaped their stalking and ran into the temple in the middle of the night. Could it be that those two people were sent there to connect with him?

……

Chu Liuxiang sent Xia Jianqing back to Beijing safely all the way.

Xia Jianqing's shop door, which had not been opened for a long time, was cleaned up.

I picked out some of the food I bought all the way in the carriage and sent them to Aunt Wang's stall next door.

Xia Jianqing knew that Aunt Wang must have cleaned the door of his shop every day when she closed the stall.

The bond between neighbors in ancient times was deeper than Xia Jianqing imagined.

Even Boss Ru Xia, who doesn't know how to deal with interpersonal relationships, has received a lot of help and tolerance from his neighbors.

Xia Jianqing was very grateful.

Aunt Wang was flattered to receive the gift from Boss Xia.

She set up the stall very early every morning, and the guests who came and went were all vulgar people, making loud noises, and the neighbors around her looked for her more than once.

And only Boss Xia has no opinion on her, and even her family's Erpang often goes to Boss Xia's shop to eat and drink.

Boss Xia not only does not look like ordinary people, but even his heart seems to be a bodhisattva.

Aunt Wang often thinks this way.

Here, Chu Liuxiang opened the dusty wooden door for Xia Jianqing.

The two were taken aback by the messy scene in the shop.

Although Xia Jianqing had thought that his shop might be inspected by some forces in the world when he was away.

But what he really didn't expect was that these people didn't hide it at all, and they turned over his shop and didn't put the items back in their original places.

Is this the informality among the Jianghu population?

Xia Jianqing was a little irritable.

Although the shop was not big, it was too much to be turned over without even a place to stay.

But Chu Liuxiang was even angrier than him.

"Are these people crazy? Don't be ashamed? Why are you starting to do these shitty things?!"

The rare horror on Xia Jianqing's face was beyond words.

Wait, wake up!You are handsome! ?

Why are you still scolding yourself?
