The Legend of Zhu San
141: The Sad Truth
Zhu San carried Song Ruo flying through the air as night fell, Song Ruo looked astonished as he looked at Songdu City from the air.
Zhu San took out the Yinyang Sword, before it shot out at high speed leaving Songdu city.
Song Ruo held onto Zhu San's waist tightly. However, he feared death if he fell from a hundred meters above the ground.
After the third day, Zhu San and Song Ruo arrived at a large and crowded village, almost equal to a small town.
It was just that in the village there were so many beggars wandering around, and as they were about to enter a tavern, they saw a pair of beggars sitting and staring intently at the two of them.
Song Ruo immediately walked over to the pair of beggars who were bowed down like embarrassment while receiving a piece of gold money from that Nobles brother Song Yu.
Zhu San stepped into the tavern, but somehow he wanted to see the beggar again.
Zhu San smiled as he saw the two beggars still looking at them and both smiled at him.
“San’er, maybe you want to rest first or we buy a horse only. The distance from this village to Shinzu City was close. With riding we will arrive at dusk later.”
Song Ruo said to Zhu San after they finished eating the dish they ordered just a moment ago.
“No Uncle, I miss my mom and want to see her soon. We continue the journey in the way we did before.”
Zhu San replied.
The two stepped out after Song Ruo paid for everything they ordered. The pair of beggars earlier, already invisible in its original place sat Zhu San circulated his gaze because he wanted to give him money.
Then the two immediately left the village and when they arrived at a quiet place, Zhu San again brought Song Ruo into the air without taking out the Yinyang sword.
After two hours of darting through the air, Zhu San's eyes bulged wide and a bad premonition immediately filled his mind as they reached above the rubble of some buildings that had been burned out.
“What has happened? What about Mom and Dad?”
The panicked Zhu San immediately shot into the building after taking down the stunned Song Ruo as he set his foot on the ground. He stared at the charred building with teary eyes.
“DAKKKK!”
Song Ruo was surprised to hear Zhu San's sad cry, He immediately darted and his eyes stared intently at the two red earth mounds where Zhu San fell.
The young man's tears were dripping with a face that looked extremely angry. A hot and cold aura gushed strongly from his body, making Song Ruo unable to step any closer towards Zhu San.
“San’er .. Calm down! Control yourself.” Song Ruo said as he began to step up as he felt the hot and cold air decrease in strength.
Song Ruo fell to his knees as he looked at the name written in the Headstone. His adopted Brother Zhu Han's name was written on one headstone.
While on another tombstone, the name of the Thousand Faces Swordsman Teacher was written by the unfilial Disciple, Tan Kuan.
“Han Gege .. Forgive Me. I'm late to visit you. I promise to seek and repay all this so that you will be at peace in nature.”
Song Ruo said after he managed to take control of himself and wiped away the water in both of his eyes. While Zhu San was still downcast, suddenly his face turned furious.
He looked up and saw a woman dressed in white, thirty meters in the air, looking at them.
Zhu San immediately darted very quickly towards the woman who was the same age as his mother, when he managed to block the woman who was about to go to escape.
“Who are you and why are you stalking us Hah!” Zhu San snapped at the woman who was no less beautiful than his mother. The hot and cold aura from Zhu San's body, immediately gushed strongly at the woman.
Zhu San gasped at the woman's words, He then pulled back his inner energy.
“True, I'm Zhu San. Who's Auntie? Is Tan Gege what Auntie means Uncle Tan Kuan?” Zhu San asked in a voice that turned soft.
“True ... Tan Gege is named Tan Kuan and he is currently in a house in a small village in the west of this city. He is seriously injured.”
The woman answered while taking out a package that gave off the smell of medicine when she opened it.
“I'm new from the city to buy some medicinal ingredients that I will mix to treat Tan Gege. I heard your screams as I was going back to the village. Oh Yes Call me Aunt May.” The woman said she explained who she was.
“I'm Sorry Aunt May. Can Auntie take me to where Uncle Kuan is?” Zhu San asked expectantly.
“Of course San’er .. But what about that man.” Aunt Mei asked Zhu San while turning her eyes to Song Ruo who was staring at them.
Zhu San asked Aunt Mei to wait for a while, Then she darted and carried Song Ruo like before.
They also moved west very quickly. Zhu San was greatly amazed by the ability that Auntie Mei possessed which he thought was equivalent to Uncle Tan Kuan's strength.
Both of them came down from the air and were in front of a small house. It was seen that young men and boys were standing guard at the place. They immediately saluted when they recognized their Young Master.
There was sadness on the faces of the farmers who worked on the land owned by his father. Zhu San nodded his head, then entered the small house following Aunt Mei who had stepped first.
Zhu San was stunned when he saw his Uncle Master Tan Kuan lying with a body full of slash wounds and also a pale face.
Tan Kuan opened his eyes and widened when he saw Zhu San who immediately approached him and immediately held his hand.
“Uncle Kuan .. How could Uncle have internal injuries this severe? Zhu San said earlier than Tan Kuan.
The elder brother of his father smiled, but he coughed and spat out black blood from his lips, as he was about to answer the question Zhu San asked.
“Uncle calm down .. Let me treat uncle wound uncle first.” Zhu San said as he exerted pure Yinyang Energy into Tan Kuan's chest.
Tan Kuan's eyes bulged wide, as he felt a stream of warm and cold pure air entering his body. He could feel both energies healing the wounds in his nervous system and muscles quickly.
Tan Kuan also sensed that all the poison that had spread within his entire bloodstream was being pushed towards his stomach and the moment Zhu San moved his palm to his stomach, Tan Kuan spewed black blood onto the ground.
“Brother Tan! “ Aunt Mei shouted anxiously seeing Tan Kuan spew out that viscous and black blood. His shout confused Zhu San.
“So call Tan Gege, now call Brother Tan? Who is this Aunt May actually?”
The blood instantly emitted smoke and slowly the blood turned red as the smoke disappeared.
Tan Kuan could not believe that his current body had recovered by a hundred percent. His inner power had returned a hundred percent.
Tan Kuan looked at Zhu San who had lost fifty percent of his inner strength. Zhu San was shocked when he saw Tan Kuan was about to kneel to him.
Zhu San quickly restrained the uncle's shoulder and hugged him tightly.”Uncle, I beg you Uncle never kneel to me. It would make me a bad boy if uncle did it.”
Zhu San whispered while holding back the tears in his eyes, at the same time he remembered that his father had died without knowing how it happened.
“San’er .. Forgive uncle who couldn't protect your father. Uncle will tell me what has happened.” Tan Kuan took off his arms and took Zhu San to sit where he was lying earlier.
