Chapter 24 Heroes of Our Time
West of the city.
Following his memory, Yang Song hurriedly arrived at Fang Zheng's house.
This is a thatched hut, surrounded by mud walls made of straw.
Instead of knocking, Yang Song climbed over the wall and jumped into the courtyard.
The main house in the courtyard had its door open, and the oil lamp cast a dim yellow light. A thin figure was reflected in the window, making insoles.
Gazing at this figure, Yang Song couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions.
It wasn't easy for the brother and sister to get to where they are today, so why would you want to harm him?
If it weren't for his exceptional intelligence, which allowed him to see through the siblings' wicked plot, he would have been killed sooner or later!
Thinking about how he had just escaped death, Yang Song's eyes no longer held any pity.
He walked into the main room with a cold look in his eyes and lifted the curtain of the side room.
The side room was small, and the brother and sister both slept on the earthen kang (a heated brick bed).
"The insoles are all made now, so my brother won't get blisters when he practices tomorrow."
Fang Hui yawned and put the insoles into the basket with a big smile.
"What a touching story of brotherly and sisterly love."
Yang Song suddenly spoke, startling Fang Hui.
She turned to look at Yang Song, but couldn't hear a sound at all!
"Who are you?!"
Fang Hui grabbed the scissors from the basket, gripped the handles tightly with both hands, and aimed the pointed end at Yang Song.
When she saw Yang Song's face clearly, she was taken aback: "Officer Yang? What brings you here?"
I've come to see you off.
"Your brother is getting impatient on his way to the underworld. If you don't go soon, he'll blame me for dragging my feet."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Song suddenly flashed forward, grabbed the weapon in Fang Hui's hand with his left hand, and hooked three fingers of his right hand around her throat.
Instantly, Fang Hui's face was filled with terror.
She tried to call for help, but Yang Song didn't give her the chance at all. His powerful fingers suddenly crushed her throat!
If Fang Hui is spared, countless innocent people may lose their lives because of her in the future.
To protect all living beings, you resolutely decided to eradicate this scourge even if it meant bearing the infamy of murder!
To sacrifice one person's grievance for the well-being of countless others—you are truly a great man! A true hero, standing tall and upright!
[Reward: Ten days of cultivation points]
Fang Hui collapsed onto the kang like a lump of mud. Yang Song stared at the corpse for a moment and then sighed softly.
He glanced around, then picked up a burlap sack from the corner and stuffed the body into it.
Afterwards, he searched the house again and found two silver notes and some loose silver coins, which he put into his pocket. He then picked up the sack and climbed out of the thatched hut.
Speechless all the way.
After returning home, Yang Song began digging a pit with a shovel.
The soil in the pit that Wang Youxi dug last night was still soft, and he soon dug a large pit that could accommodate two people.
After placing the two bodies in the pit, filling it with soil, and tamping it down, Yang Song washed up briefly, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep.
The next day.
It rained all night last night, but I woke up to beautiful weather.
Yang Song got up early and left his residence, heading straight to the Martial Arts Academy.
"Good morning, Officer Yang."
"Good morning, Officer Yang."
On the way to the martial arts academy, people continued to greet Yang Song from time to time.
However, there was a hint of awe in everyone's eyes, and they were not as close as they had been yesterday.
Yang Song couldn't help but think a lot. Was it because he entered the martial arts academy? Or because the news of the Wang family father and daughter dying at his hands had spread?
I'm afraid it's the latter.
"Sister Feng".
As Yang Song passed by a street, he greeted the steaming tofu shop.
"Were you feeling any better last night? Did the method I taught you work?"
Luo Feng's expression changed, and he waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Officer Yang, please don't make fun of me. I was just talking nonsense before, please don't take it to heart."
Yang Song was taken aback. In just one day, Luo Feng had become distant from him, and her tone of voice was now more respectful, with none of the flirtatious charm she used to have.
"Tsk."
Yang Song clicked his tongue, feeling somewhat disappointed.
It was quite amusing to tease Luo Feng, but little did I expect that just one day later, the two would be separated by a pitifully thick barrier.
"Sister Feng, you're busy."
Yang Song left those words and quickened his pace.
"You prescribed a remedy yesterday, and today Luo Feng's illness has been completely cured."
If such medical skills are not taught in private schools and widely disseminated, it would be a great loss to the medical community and a disservice to all people!
[Reward: Five days' worth of cultivation points]
Yang Song shrugged, and as he walked, he brought up his attribute panel, focusing his gaze on [Power].
Two years and 26 days of training.
"I should be able to reach the peak of Body Tempering today, but my power level will probably not increase as much as it did yesterday."
As Yang Song thought to himself, the number of times the system praised him had already decreased significantly when he was practicing his swordsmanship yesterday afternoon.
If you do the same thing again today, it will be very difficult to trigger the reward.
"Every little bit helps."
With this in mind, Yang Song arrived at the Martial Arts Academy.
The courtyard was filled with a rich aroma of meat, which made one's appetite soar.
"Brother Yang."
On the training ground, several people had already eaten and drunk their fill and started practicing the "Eight Forms of Self-Sacrifice".
When Li Liang saw Yang Song walking by the sidelines, he immediately stopped practicing and greeted him.
Yang Song looked over upon hearing the sound and saw that Li Liang was radiating heat, clearly having been practicing for a while.
He asked in surprise, "When did you arrive? You're practicing so early?"
Li Liang scratched the back of his head and said embarrassedly, "Diligence can make up for lack of talent. If I want to make a name for myself as soon as possible, I have to work harder."
Yang Song nodded slightly: "You can continue practicing."
He went into the backyard, got a meal from the kitchen, and sat on the stone steps to eat at a leisurely pace.
Sun Tao hasn't arrived yet, so he can slack off a little longer.
Geniuses don't need to work hard; those who work hard are not geniuses.
You're a genius, you don't need to work hard!
[Reward: Six days of cultivation points]
"That's exactly right."
Yang Song wholeheartedly agreed, for how could hard-earned cultivation compare to the power gained from system rewards?
Unfortunately, he couldn't eat a bowl of rice for more than a few hours. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people in the backyard, he had no choice but to put down his chopsticks and go out to the training ground to practice his skills.
However, just as he expected, after practicing diligently for half an hour, the system remained silent and failed to trigger any rewards.
"Why isn't Fang Zheng here?"
Just as Yang Song was diligently practicing his skills, Commander Sun Tao entered the martial arts academy.
He glanced at the group of young people in the training ground and immediately noticed something was wrong.
Since Fang Zheng entered the martial arts academy, he has been practicing his skills almost every day before dawn, never daring to slack off.
Why is it that at this hour today, there's still no sign of them?
"stop!"
Sun Tao called out to the crowd, and the sound of swords whistling through the courtyard abruptly stopped.
"Does anyone know anything about Founder Group?"
Upon hearing this, the boys looked at each other, their faces filled with confusion.
"Since leaving the martial arts academy last night, has anyone seen Fang Zheng?"
"I've seen him."
A boy raised his hand and said, "Last night when I was emptying the chamber pot, I saw Fang Zheng running frantically down the street, saying he was going to Yang Song's house."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes immediately focused on Yang Song.
