Chapter 30 Bai Qinghan
An Jing has known Bai Qinghan for a long time.
The reason is more interesting: Like many other children, Bai Qinghan has never read a book. She is illiterate, so it is difficult for her to learn martial arts and cannot read the Emperor's Scripture.
An Jing was so worried about this that he even used his private time to tutor these little illiterate people time and time again, so that they could learn writing and martial arts as soon as possible.
Bai Qinghan is the one who learns the fastest among them. He is often praised individually by An Jing and receives praise as a model of learning.
At that time, he and Bai Qinghan had an impression of each other, but they basically didn't talk much. Even when An Jing praised each other, Bai Qinghan only hummed a few times, looking very shy.
As for the formal acquaintance, it originated from a sparring session.
As a senior brother, An Jing occasionally acts as a teaching assistant, helping those who are not very good at battle formation drills or martial arts to practice sparring, teaching each other's movements and power postures.
Especially today's sparring is getting closer to 'real sword drills', where you need to really knock down the opponent, instead of just hitting the target like in the past, and you need An Jing to look after and give guidance.
Bai Qinghan is one of them, but she is a bit more special.
Because it's not that she doesn't know how to exert strength and martial arts, it's because her martial arts skills are so good that she always hurts people, and even almost kills people.
Some martial arts cannot be used during sparring.
Eye penetration, elbow strikes, lower gears, heel stamping, hitting the temples, punching the heart... As long as these techniques are used, it can easily cause disability or even death.
But Bai Qinghan couldn't stop himself and used these techniques subconsciously.
On the surface, she is just a rather frail girl, with a beautiful appearance and usually silent, just like an ordinary shy and introverted little girl - she is not even literate at first, but she has a natural and pure beauty.
But this is just an illusion, a disguise.
Her dark eyes are usually dull, but they burst into astonishing energy during practice.
At that time, Bai Qinghan was not so much a human being as some kind of surly beast, such as a hungry winter wolf or a hunting cheetah.
When that ferocious and ferocious spirit was revealed, even the young girls who had experienced the disaster were unable to react at all, and they all retreated subconsciously - and this retreat gave Bai Qinghan an instinctive hint, allowing her to act even more... A fierce momentum rushed forward.
Although in the end, Bai Qinghan would realize that he was not in his hometown where bandits were rampant, but in the relatively safe Xuanming Village. He spared his hand in time and did not injure his companions too seriously.
But obviously, after a few times, no one dared to spar with her anymore.
At this point, An Jing can only follow the teacher's request to fight against this smart and dangerous person.
Then, An Jing knocked her down with three punches, curing her of her excessive hurt instinct.
Bai Qinghan's situation is very simple: she has lived in a precarious environment since she was a child. Once she conflicts with others, she will inevitably fight to the death. As a young girl, if she is not ruthless in her attacks, how can she survive in the vast wilderness? Come down?
And her parents...may have some problems, making her always feel insecure.
In short, this extreme insecurity caused her to suffer from serious heart problems. Once she reached the point where she needed to fight, she would definitely kill her.
The fact that she was able to hold back showed that Qing Han was working very hard to restrain herself. It only took a few months to change the habits of many years.
But for An Jing, none of this is a problem.
It is actually easier to deal with enemies who don't know the specific martial arts and rely only on instinct to kill them.
Because this shows that they can only attack the vital points.
Faced with Bai Qinghan's strike, An Jing, who was well prepared, raised her left hand and punched her throat with her right hand, making it difficult for her to breathe.
When Bai Qinghan retreated, he used his strength to kick An Jing in the heart. An Jing dodged it sideways and punched her right leg, forcing her to roll over to release her strength. When Bai Qinghan stood up again and prepared to continue attacking An Jing, An Jing had already stepped forward and punched her in the jaw, knocking her out completely.
After waking up, Bai Qinghan was in a daze for a while.
When An Jing wondered if she had beaten her stupid, she suddenly stood up and apologized and thanked An Jing.
"I'm sorry...thank you, senior brother."
Bai Qinghan's voice was completely different from her actions. It was soft and waxy, like some kind of sweet white flour snack: "I seem to have woken up from a dream..."
"Yeah." An Jing didn't know what to say. Could it be that he was lucky that he knocked her down?
"I'm going to apologize to the other people I hurt."
Bai Qinghan didn't care about An Jing's reaction. She lowered her head, looked at the ground, and said softly: "I have always told me that I am safe, there is no need to be so afraid... Even in the Demon Cult's manor, they We will not kill indiscriminately..."
"etc?"
An Jing noticed the key word. He interrupted in shock and lowered his voice: "Demon Cult?"
——You actually know about the Demon Cult? !
"Yes." Bai Qinghan looked at An Jing with a strange but clear gaze, with strands of blue fluorescence flashing in the depths of his dark eyes: "Elder brother, don't you... also know this? Do you want to order?”
"In order to live for a while longer, we all sold our lives to the Demon Cult, didn't we?"
In the following time, An Jing often communicated with Bai Qinghan.
Different from her soft and cute appearance, Bai Qinghan is a girl with extraordinary views on various things. She knew from the beginning that she was bought by the Demon Cult and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Bai Qinghan's hometown once suffered from a demonic disaster. Ten years ago, a Hanhai Chaowu Zhenchi suddenly migrated away from his hometown. Many evil spirits and monsters that were originally suppressed by it escaped and wreaked havoc around the vast sea, causing numerous deaths and injuries.
She was born in such troubled times, and she had to follow her parents to steal food from other people, beasts and evil spirits since she was a child.
She has never learned to hold back her hands. Once a fight begins, she must kill with blood. If not, she will die.
Bai Qinghan's parents are dead. She sold herself because no one was willing to adopt a wild girl from the vast wilderness. People were afraid of her ferocity and were afraid that her throat would be bitten by this little beast as soon as she got close.
"Compared to Dahuang and Dachen, the Demon Cult only eats people, and they eat very sparingly. You see, they haven't eaten all of us in the past few months."
"They're still full."
This is Bai Qinghan's idea. She has a pair of eyes that can see through people's hearts. This is her innate ability. She has long seen An Jing's vigilance towards teachers and lecturers, and knows the true nature of the demon sect.
"No." An Jing was silent for a while, then slowly said: "They are not full. They are waiting."
"The green seedlings are pulled out early and there is no rice to eat. If you kill the small beasts, there will be no big beasts. The demon sect is always hungry and eats all the time. They are just patient and waiting for a sumptuous feast."
"……I see."
Bai Qinghan nodded slightly, lowered her head and looked at her toes, and she said softly: "But at least during this period, they won't eat us all."
An Jing didn't answer. He recalled those medicine jars.
A moment later, when An Jing came to her senses and asked her not to say this casually, Bai Qinghan looked at him with a strange look.
"Elder brother, I just haven't read." She said, "I'm not stupid."
