Chapter 168: The Jianghu in the Wine and Sword Village (11)
Hearing his words, Tangcuo moved closer and asked quietly, "Why? Is he famous?"
"A genius that is rarely seen in a century in the Sword Cave, of course he is famous."
"Only seen in a century? Then we really have to take a good look." Hearing his words, Tang Cuo couldn't help but take a few more glances. Before he could do anything, he was pulled back by Jiang Sichen.
"There's nothing good to see. It just has two eyes and a mouth. There's nothing special about its appearance." There was a hint of sourness in Jiang Sichen's words.
"Uh..." Tang Cuo smiled and was about to say something to Jiang Sichen, but Yu Feng, who was walking in front, suddenly walked up to them.
"Young man, what is your name?" Yu Feng turned his eyes to look at Tang Cuo.
"Tangcuo."
"My name is Yu Feng."
"I know you are a rare genius in a century. Do you have anything to talk to me about?" Tang Cuo moved a few steps to the side quietly, putting some distance between them.
"No, I just saw that Young Master Tang has an extraordinary temperament. I wonder if I have the honor to make friends with you?" Yu Feng stretched out his hand.
"It's my honor." Seeing his actions, Tang Cuo did not refuse and shook his hand openly. "Oh, by the way, the one next to me is Jiang Sichen, a young knight who travels around the world like me, but he is much more powerful than me."
"Really?" Yu Feng's tone was a little frivolous. "Although this young man has an extraordinary temperament, he doesn't look like someone who is easy to approach."
Yu Feng did not take the initiative to shake hands with him, but continued to walk forward a few steps, "Young Master Tang, if you have the chance, you can come to my house as a guest."
"Okay, when I travel to Mr. Yu's territory, I will definitely pay him a visit." Tang Cuo looked at his back and said.
The topic between the two ended here. Jiang Sichen's eyes showed a bit of coldness, then he retracted his gaze and continued to walk forward with Tang Cuo.
There is a dilapidated temple three miles outside the city. It seems to have been abandoned for a long time and there are cobwebs everywhere.
"I'm afraid we can't get there tonight. Why don't we rest here for a night to recharge our batteries, and then hurry up and set off tomorrow morning? What do you think, Mr. Yu?" Xu Wei suggested.
"It's all right. I'm just here to join in the fun. You don't have to take my feelings too seriously." Yu Feng raised his hand, then his eyes fell on Tang Cuo who was standing beside him.
At this time, Tangcuo leaned against the stone tablet behind him, with a little sweat on his forehead, showing his tiredness at the moment, "I'm so tired, I don't want to walk anymore."
"Then let's rest for a while. We won't leave." Jiang Sichen raised his hand and patted his back gently, trying to relax his muscles.
Suddenly, the faint firelight in front of him was blocked by a shadow. Tang Cuo raised his head helplessly and was about to ask who was so tactless when he saw Master Yu in front of him.
He immediately suppressed all the anger in his heart.
Everyone raised their eyes and decided that they should rest for a night before setting off again. Even Wu Zheng, who always loved to find fault, seemed too tired to speak.
"Okay, then let's go in and rest for a night, and then continue our journey tomorrow." Old Xu raised his arm and led everyone quickly into the ruined temple.
There is a huge bell hanging in the center of the temple. Both sides of the bell are covered with frost, and it looks like it is quite old.
Tang Cuo leaned on the thatched grass behind him to recuperate, while Jiang Sichen sat beside him, and his eyes met Yu Feng's from time to time.
Suddenly, a baby crying sounded outside the door. The voice was intermittent, sometimes shrill and sometimes calm, causing everyone present to look at the distance and watch.
Tang Cuo opened his eyes and unconsciously shrank a little behind Jiang Sichen, "What...what is this sound?"
"It could be a baby crying, or it could be someone playing tricks." Yu Feng, who was standing at the side, heard his question and answered.
"Pretending to be a ghost?"
"Whatever happens, we need to find someone to take a look. What if it really is an abandoned baby? Can we just stand by and watch it die?" The young man in red hesitated.
"Okay, then you go, but we won't go." Wu Zheng crossed her arms.
"I'll go... I'll go. What's so scary about this? They're just a bunch of cowards." The young man swallowed and walked timidly out of the ruined temple.
Several people watched his back, some with worry on their faces, while others looked like they were watching a show.
After a long time, there was no sound from outside the door, and several people became a little panicked.
"What's going on? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
"I don't know, could he be...dead?"
"Why don't we find two more people to go out and take a look?" someone suggested.
"Who wants to go out? If you go out alone, you won't even have a shadow now. If you want to go out, go ahead. I won't move."
"This……"
In an instant, all kinds of whispering sounds were heard, making Tang Cuo frown.
"I think, we should just let those two young men go out." Suddenly, someone raised his hand and pointed at Tang Cuo and Jiang Sichen.
Confused, Tangcuo opened his eyes wide in disbelief, "Why? Why do you want us to go?"
"Young Master Tang is brave and resourceful, and Young Master Jiang beside him is even more skilled in martial arts, so it's perfect for you two to go." Passerby A suggested, then turned his head to look at the people behind him, "What do you think?"
"That makes sense. That makes sense."
What a bullshit. You don't dare to go, so you use others as a gun. Do you think I'm a fool?
Tang Cuo clenched his fingers slightly.
"That's fine. If Young Master Jiang doesn't want to go, I can accompany Young Master Tang. I believe that with my ability, I can protect Young Master Tang."
Yu Feng on the side walked to Tang Cuo's side, and his pair of black eyes fell on Jiang Sichen provocatively.
Looking at the two people staring at each other, Tang Cuo felt inexplicably strange. He stood up and spread his hands helplessly: Anyway, no matter what, I'm going to go, is that what you mean?
God, does anyone care about my opinion? I really don't want to go. How about we discuss it and have the two of you go?
"There's no need to trouble Young Master Yu for this. Acuo and I can go." Jiang Sichen's eyes darkened with a strong warning.
"Then please help yourself." Hearing his unfriendly tone, Yu Feng did not insist any longer, but raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
Jiang Sichen stood up, put his hand on Tang Cuo's arm, and walked towards the door with him.
Tang Cuo sighed helplessly and followed closely behind him.
Outside the dilapidated temple, Tang Cuo raised his hand and pinched Jiang Sichen's sleeve, with a hint of fear in his eyes. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, causing the surrounding leaves to rustle, which immediately scared Tang Cuo.
"What, what, what...what happened?"
"It's nothing, just a gust of wind." Jiang Sichen curled the corners of his lips, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, it's okay."
