Wuxia: I know a lot of martial arts

Chapter 226 I promise, you will not die in vain
"It's the branch that was broken off from the jujube tree in your yard in Shi County." Chang Xiaoming answered Chu Tang's question very simply.

Chu Tang became more and more dumbfounded, looking at the dead branch in his hand, he was speechless for a while.

After all, he also missed the two jujube trees at home.

It's midsummer again, I don't know if they are flourishing, blooming and bearing fruit.

In other words, I don't know if Xu Jin, who was entrusted by him, helped him take care of the yard, and whether the jujube tree had already died.

and many more!

What he wants to solve now is the mystery of why the jujube tree appeared in Chang Xiaoming's hands, not to remember anything!
Chang Xiaoming seemed very interested in seeing Chu Tang's frown, smiled lightly, pointed to the branch he buried just now, and asked, "Do you know what branch I buried?"

"Of course it's not a jujube tree, is it?" Chu Tang said cleverly.

If they were both jujube trees, Chang Xiaoming wouldn't need to ask any more questions.

Chang Xiaoming raised his head and looked at Chu Tang standing in front of him, his eyes were shining in the firelight, and he said hoarsely, "It was broken from the osmanthus tree."

"Osmanthus..." Chu Tang's heart skipped a beat.

The origin of the name of Osmanthus County is that there are many osmanthus trees in the county. When the flowers bloom, the rich aroma of osmanthus is filled in the air, which is refreshing and mesmerizing.

Shixian County is in the area under the jurisdiction of Gui County, and many osmanthus trees are planted. Within the county town, you can see them with lush branches everywhere.

In the eyes of Shixian people from other places, osmanthus represents nostalgia.

Chang Xiaoming said in a low tone: "When I was a child, I liked to eat the osmanthus cake made by my mother with osmanthus flowers. It was sweet and fragrant, very gluttonous. Unfortunately, I haven't tasted that kind of taste for many years!"

Chu Tang was silent.

The osmanthus tree is always there, and the osmanthus cake can be seen everywhere. The appearance is the same, and the taste may not have changed, but the person who made it is different, and it no longer tastes like the one I miss.

"Junior Sister Ziyu is also from Gui County, you know that?" Chang Xiaoming asked suddenly.

"I heard from her." Chu Tang nodded heavily.

He couldn't forget that when Zhao Ziyu asked him for help, he asked him as a citizen of Guijun to let him, the leader of the Guijun police squad, stand up for them.

Chang Xiaoming sighed and said, "Junior Sister Ziyu is not from our Shi County, but from Bai County next door. When she left your house last year, she saw two jujube trees in your yard, so she broke one and said it was for this reason." I left Guijun for the first time, and I don’t know when I will be able to return to my hometown, so I want to use this as a thought.”

After rubbing the smooth dead branch in his hand a few times, Chu Tang's eyes dimmed, and he muttered: "Do you want to..."

"Yeah, it's just a thought." Chang Xiaoming's sigh became longer and longer, "Ziyu said that when she was a child, she liked red date cake the most. It was very fragrant and sticky to the teeth, but she just liked it. But later, her hometown suffered a lot. When her parents were in exile, they sold her to our master and never saw her relatives again. This jujube tree may represent her nostalgia for her parents and relatives in her hometown? I often see her take out this branch to watch Play."

For some reason, Chang Xiaoming's words were clearly very plain, as if he was telling a well-known story, with no waves, and no waves in the ancient well, but Chu Tang sounded as if his heart was on the verge of death, extremely heavy.

His throat seemed to be blocked by stones, he couldn't speak, he felt short of breath, and felt a dull pain in his chest.

In an instant, he felt that the dead branch in his hand, which was as light as nothing, suddenly became as heavy as Mount Tai.

In his eyes, the dead branches in front of him were no longer just branches.

"You...I..." Chu Tang panicked for a moment and couldn't speak.

Chang Xiaoming looked at him and said seriously: "Originally this branch was brought by Junior Sister Ziyu, and it should be buried here with her. However, because you are here, I thought about it carefully, and it is better to return it to the original owner. "

"Return...to the original owner?" Chu Tang smiled, but it was uglier than crying.

Chang Xiaoming said indifferently: "You can lose this thing, bring it back to Shi County, or keep it as a... Think about it, it's not impossible, it's up to you!"

"Xiao Ming, I..." Chu Tang was still at a loss for words.

Chang Xiaoming lay down slowly on the ground again, not paying any attention to the filth of the landslide after the rain, and sighed abruptly: "There is no moonlight tonight, it's so dark..."

"Huh?" Chu Tang suddenly felt that his tone was abnormal and his expression was not quite right, so he couldn't help but look down, and suddenly exclaimed, "Xiao Ming, you..."

I saw that Chang Xiaoming's mouth and nose were bleeding non-stop, and the smile on his face was extremely terrifying.

"Xiao Ming!" Chu Tang rushed to his side immediately, knelt down to help him up, felt his pulse, he was confused and weak.

Without saying a word, he supported Chang Xiaoming to heal him with luck.

Shenzhao's true energy surged into Chang Xiaoming's body, arousing his vitality.

"No...don't save me!" Chang Xiaoming sensed the peculiarity of Chu Tang's internal vitality, and immediately struggled, pushing away Chu Tang's lucky palm.

"Xiao Ming, you..." Chu Tang was startled.

Chang Xiaoming's mouth was bleeding, and he said with a smile: "Boss Chu, I don't want to live anymore, don't save me, please..."

don't want to live...please...

Every word in Chang Xiaoming's words hit Chu Tang's heart like a heavy hammer, making his eyes tear open.

Along the way, he had checked Chang Xiaoming's body. Although he suffered serious injuries, his life was not in danger.

Now that he is dying, there is only one reason, and that is - to cut off his meridian, to kill himself!

Chang Xiaoming is committing suicide!

Chu Tang couldn't accept such a result.

If Chang Xiaoming died in front of his eyes, then what's the point of what he did today?
Isn't it all for nothing!

With trembling hands resting on Chang Xiaoming's body, Chu Tang invoked the Divine Light Sutra again——

As long as there is still one breath left, the Shenzhao Sutra can bring the dead back to life!
"No!" Chang Xiaoming was already very weak, but he still pushed Chu Tang's palm away forcefully, and he firmly grasped Chu Tang's arm, his eyes were full of pleading, "Team leader Chu, please, my master!" I'm dead, my brothers and sisters are gone too. I don't have any concerns in this world anymore, and living has no meaning... You know, people like me, living will be more painful..."

"Xiao Ming..." Chu Tang held back his tears and was at a loss, barely knowing how to deal with the matter in front of him. After all, he had never encountered such a situation in his life.

Chang Xiaoming vomited blood profusely, but he was still laughing: "Team Chu, please bury me beside them. People from our teacher-ben troupe should all get together here!"

After saying the last word, Chang Xiaoming's hand fell to the ground, and he softened.

Covered in blood, he finally closed his eyes tightly and followed his fellow disciples away.

Chu Tang was stunned for a moment, then slowly put down Chang Xiaoming, and stood up blankly.

Looking around, the night wind was blowing, chilling people's hearts.

Ye Xiao's cry was even more tearful, extremely terrifying.

After a while, Chu Tang came back to his senses, picked up the shovel on the ground, and dug another hole in the grave that was already as high as a mountain bag.

Picking up Chang Xiaoming, put him into the pit, wiped his face clean, looked at the satisfied smile on his face, Chu Tang didn't hesitate anymore, and started filling the soil.

In the end, Chang Xiaoming died underground——

Buried in the same cave with his fellow disciples.

Looking at the writing on the wooden tombstone, Chu Tang brandished his divine weapon and added six words on the back—Jingli from Guijun Township.

It's just a fellow countryman, isn't it?

Touching the exercises that Chang Xiaoming entrusted him to keep hidden in his chest, and then looking at the dead branches in his hands, Chu Tang hesitated for a moment, and put the dead branches in his chest.

In the night, the torches crackled.

The flame flickered, and cast a long black shadow on the earthen grave that was as tall as a hill, making it look much more eerie.

I don't know how long he stood in front of the grave, Chu Tang's confused eyes gradually became bright, he stared at the earthen grave, and said abruptly: "Xiao Ming, I promise, you will not die in vain!"

The night wind wailed like weeping and complaining all night.

That night, Chu Tang did not leave the mass grave.

He sat quietly in front of the grave all night.

…………

time.

The sun is still shining, evaporating yesterday's wind and rain.

There was no trace of dampness on the ground, only a third of coolness remained.

The backyard of Wutong Academy.

Sister Lian rushed into the dean's room in a hurry, and said to Tao Ying who was washing up not long after waking up: "Miss, Chu Tang has returned to the academy!"

Just as Tao Ying tied up her long hair, she didn't react at first. She just hummed, and suddenly, her hands stopped, and she suddenly turned her head: "Who? Sister Lian, who do you think is back?"

"Chu Tang, leader Chu!" Sister Lian responded.

Tao Ying stood up abruptly, her face full of shock: "Why did he come back? Didn't he say yesterday that he had left Qingcheng and went to Dongcheng?"

Tao Ying was really shocked.

Yesterday, when Chu Tang left the academy to visit Nanqing Hou Mansion, Tao Ying's eyelids kept twitching, and her heart was also uneasy, always feeling that something was going to happen.

Sure enough, as she expected, at noon, news came out from the Nanqinghou's mansion that the Guijun arrester Chu Tang had colluded with the thieves and wanted to harm Nanqinghou's son, but was repelled by a group of guards and fled.

The Nanqinghou Mansion asked the Governor's Mansion to help arrest Chu Tang, the thief.

Hearing these news, Tao Ying calmed down instead, except for sighing, sighing.

She knew that Chu Tang wanted to be a guest at Nanqinghou's Mansion for no reason, because he must have felt compassion for the script and wanted to help.

The result was just as she expected, something really happened to Chu Tang!

Not only did he offend Prince Nanqing Hou, but he also saved a person from the opponent.

Tao Ying was relieved to hear that Chu Tang did not stay in Qingcheng, but drove out of Qingcheng after leaving Hou's mansion, and went straight to Dongcheng.

She thought it would be fine if she left, Chu Tang stayed in Qingcheng, and would definitely confront the Nanqinghoufu again, and then it would be really hard to deal with it.

As for the arrest of Chu Tang, it is estimated that the governor's mansion will not do it lightly, as long as they find an unknown reason, they can prevaricate Nanqinghou's mansion.

In Tao Ying's heart, Chu Tang is so smart, and good at lightness kung fu, after a day's time, it is enough to leave the boundary of Qingcheng far away.

Unexpectedly, after one night, she actually heard the news that Chu Tang had returned to the academy!

"What did he come back for?" Tao Ying was exasperated, "Is he crazy! When is it, and his heart is still so big?"

Sister Lian also realized the seriousness of the matter and asked, "Miss, what should we do now?"

Tao Ying walked back and forth in the room several times, gradually calmed down, and asked, "Where is he now? How many people came back together?"

Sister Lian replied, "He was the only one who stayed in the small courtyard before him."

"He alone?" Tao Ying frowned slightly.

"Well, he's alone."

Tao Ying frowned even more, feeling something was wrong.

She stopped guessing and said, "Sister Lian, help me pack up quickly, I'll go see him!"

Sister Lian immediately responded, helping Tao Ying to freshen up.

After a while, a heroic Dean Tao finished redressing.

She didn't even eat breakfast, she practically trotted all the way to Chu Tang's location, which was only thirty or forty feet away from her small courtyard.

When Tao Ying arrived, the morning light poured down on the courtyard, the bamboo fence was glowing, and the flowers and plants were also glowing red.

Chu Tang was sitting under a tree, and the warm sunlight shone on him, covering his whole body in red light, but he still couldn't stop the chill from his body.

When Tao Ying saw Chu Tang for the first time, she was quite frightened.

I saw Chu Tang's original white clothes, but now they were dirty, with both mud and blood stains, and he was in a great embarrassment.

In addition, his hair was disheveled and he looked haggard, as if he had visited a beggar's den.

Tao Ying almost didn't recognize him, only the other party's bright eyes could see some expression.

"Chu Tang, you..." Tao Ying wanted to ask him why he made such a ghostly appearance.

Chu Tang, who had been thinking with his head down, suddenly raised his head and saw that it was Tao Ying, showing his white teeth, and said with a smile, "Dean Tao, Chu is waiting for you to come over!"

Tao Ying looked at Chu Tang, then at the house not far away, and asked, "Chu Tang, just you? Where is the person you saved?"

"Dead." Chu Tang said quietly.

Tao Ying's heart trembled, she looked at Chu Tang's seemingly calm but shimmering eyes, and her voice became much lower: "Didn't you save him?"

Chu Tang said softly, "He committed suicide. I buried him."

It's short but full of stories.

There are certainly many unsatisfactory details in the story.

Tao Ying was shocked, it was hard to imagine what Chu Tang went through that night.

Looking at Chu Tang's calm face, Tao Ying felt uneasy.

Chu Tang, whom she thought she knew very well, felt a little strange at this moment.

It seemed that in just one night, he was no longer the cautious but confident policeman!

Taking a deep breath, Tao Ying took a deep look at Chu Tang, and then asked cautiously: "Chu Tang, why did you come back this time?"

Chu Tang didn't answer, but looked up at the sky, squinted his eyes and looked at Chaoyang for a while, then his eyes slowly turned to Tao Ying, seeing the other party's nervous expression, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "Dean Tao, Chu would like to stay here for a few more days to heal his injuries, okay?"

Tao Ying sized Chu Tang suspiciously, and asked, "Only healing?"

Chu Tang said calmly: "Partly for healing, and partly for preparing a big gift for Dean Tao."

"Great gift?" Tao Ying's heart beat wildly and she shook her head again and again, "Heal your wounds as long as you heal, don't make any big gifts, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it!"

Chu Tang shook his head and said, "Just let Chu beg the dean to accept this gift."

"what gift?"

"The dean will know when the time comes." After speaking, Chu Tang sent Tao Ying away on the pretext that he needed to wash up and rest.

Dean Tao left Chu Tang's small courtyard with three parts of worry, three parts of doubt, three parts of fear, and one part of curiosity.
