Daming: Internship also counts as work experience

Chapter 59 White Clothes
Jia Chuan took the opportunity to walk over and pick up the torch that still had some sparks on the ground. He would be fighting the enemy soon, so having something in his hand would at least help him hold on for a while, right?
"It's none of your business who my master is!" Dong Yuanyuan said as she was about to rush forward, but was held back tightly by Dong Shuben and Shunzi.

Jia Chuan turned around holding the torch and said in a calm tone, "I've already said that this is between us and has nothing to do with others. Since you don't want to leave, then let the three of them go."

"Leave? Go report the news? It's no use. Everyone in the county yamen has come and they all say the same thing: death!"

"Just for that statement of yours, I can kill all your clans! But perhaps you don't have any family, so you're not afraid."

"You want to piss me off?"

"You came in such a hurry that I didn't ask many questions clearly. If I had, I wouldn't have... taken over. Any last words? While you... can still speak, I promise to do my best to help you..."

Jia Chuan intuitively deduced that this person was in a hurry to take the job and did not grasp the true situation of his target, so he wanted to scare him with words to make him hesitate and delay time.

This is how it’s played out in movies and TV dramas, so I have to talk nonsense for a while.

But this was not a film set, and there was no script. Before Jia Chuan could finish his words, he heard a "snap" and the torch he was holding broke into two. The end with a few sparks on it fell directly to the ground. Jia Chuan looked at the stick in his hand that was cut in half, and he even forgot to breathe. He didn't even know what had happened in the past moment.

But when he heard the groan and looked down to see Dong Yuanyuan lying not far from his feet, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. Yuanyuan saved him again.

The man didn't want to listen to Jia Chuan's nagging, so he rushed forward with a knife. Dong Yuanyuan reacted quickly. She broke free from Dong Shuben and Shunzi's pull and rushed forward almost at the same time.

Just as the man's knife was about to touch Jia Chuan, Dong Yuanyuan arrived. How could the man withstand Dong Yuanyuan's weight? The knife cut the torch and the man fell out.

Dong Shuben and Shunzi ran over and tried to help Dong Yuanyuan up. This time, Dong Yuanyuan fell really hard. She felt pain everywhere she touched and cried out in pain.

Jia Chuan's heart sank. He knew that he could no longer rely on Yuanyuan's weight. He held up the half-broken stick and took two steps towards the man who had stood up, blocking the three people behind him.

The man was obviously angry. Before Jia Chuan could stand still, he swung his knife forward again. Jia Chuan didn't know where he got the courage from, but he actually went forward with a stick in hand.

Shunzi screamed, "No!"

Suddenly, only the half stick in Jia Chuan's hand was left. Seeing the long sword coming again with a strong wind, Jia Chuan could only fall to the ground to avoid the sword. He was familiar with this move, but what next?

The gears of fate turned.

The man in black had failed several times and was already furious. He swung the long sword in his hand fiercely and slashed at Jia Chuan on the ground. There was a "clang" sound accompanied by a buzzing sound. Jia Chuan looked up and saw that his white moonlight was standing in front of him.

Gao Yunduo held the sword tightly in her hand. The previous blow was heavy and steady, and she could only barely catch it and flick it outward. Now her palm was painful.

When masters fight, they will not say much. The black-clothed swordsman and the white-clothed Duoduo stood on the left and right of the fallen Jia Chuan. Jia Chuan was now busy, or to be more precise, his eyes were very busy.

Only then did he truly see the nine-ring ghost-head knife in the black-clad swordsman's hand. This was the name Jia Chuan had given it in his mind, because the copper rings on the back of the knife jingled when it was swung, as if an evil ghost had opened its bloody mouth and revealed its sharp white teeth.

As for why he hadn't noticed or heard it before, Jia Chuan didn't have time to think about it.

The three-foot green sword in Gao Yunduo's hand was like a swimming dragon. She lightly tapped the bluestone in the courtyard, and the hem of her white skirt spread out like crane wings. The tip of the sword wandered around the black-clothed swordsman. The black-clothed swordsman retreated frequently. He did not expect to meet a master here. When he took a deep breath, the long sword suddenly turned over and slashed upwards. He no longer dodged, and the sword energy turned into a black dragon and entangled Gao Yunduo in turn.

Gao Yunduo didn't expect that her brother had hurried her over here, only to meet such an opponent. The two seemed to be evenly matched, but in fact they were testing each other.

The tip of the black-clad swordsman's blade occasionally scraped across the bluestone ground, and the sparks that flew along the way drew a red trail in the night.

Jia Chuan was stunned and forgot to sit up. Dong Yuanyuan stopped crying and sat up on her own without the help of Dong Shuben and Shunzi. Dong Shuben and Shunzi just stood there in a daze, forgetting what else to do except to open their mouths.

After a few rounds of probing, Gao Yunduo seized the opportunity and the sword light suddenly poured out like the Milky Way, tearing a clear line in the sky full of sword shadows and going straight for the throat of the black-clothed swordsman. The black-clothed swordsman was shocked and swung his sword to block the sword. Gao Yunduo leaned back and the blade brushed past the tip of his nose. Gao Yunduo took advantage of the momentum to roll the sword back and pierced the black-clothed swordsman's left shoulder. However, the black-clothed man did not retreat but advanced, allowing the sword blade to pierce his shoulder blade, and the long sword slashed towards Gao Yunduo with blood.

It was too late for Gao Yunduo to draw her sword to resist. In the blink of an eye, a black shadow rushed towards the black-clothed swordsman. Don't forget that Gao Yunduo's sword was still on him. Although this collision failed to knock the black-clothed swordsman down, it made him deeply feel the pain of the knife. The black-clothed swordsman could not help but groan, and the movement of his hands stopped. At the same time, Gao Yunduo drew her sword, and the black-clothed swordsman fell to the ground, followed by Jia Chuan.

Gao Yunduo held the sword, grabbed Jia Chuan with one hand and threw him behind him, his eyes never leaving the man in black.

Blood gushed out from the wound. The man in black covered the wound with one hand and struggled to stand up.

"You have martial arts skills, what can't you do? Why do you have to take money and risk your life for others?"

"It's not your turn to teach me a lesson yet." The man in black gritted his teeth and staggered to his feet. He looked at Jia Chuan behind Gao Yunduo and said, "You may have dodged it this time, but you may not be able to do it next time."

"Will you do it again next time?" Jia Chuan didn't notice that his voice was trembling.

The man in black snorted coldly and said, "She can't keep me."

As soon as the man in black finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and at the same time a dark figure climbed over the wall and came in.

Normally, the police would have arrived by this time.

Sure enough, when the man climbing over the wall regained his footing, Jia Chuan saw that it was Gao Yuntian and instinctively breathed a sigh of relief. Shunzi stumbled to open the gate, and several constables rushed in.

The man in black covered his wound and glanced at the gate of the courtyard. He was naturally not afraid of these constables, but it would take some time for him to rush out. Any pause would give the woman a chance. He shifted his gaze to Gao Yuntian.

When Jia Chuan saw Gao Yuntian, he felt relieved. Others didn't know how good Gao Yuntian's kung fu was, but he knew it. With these two brothers and sisters around, he naturally felt at ease.

The man in black was not idle at this time. He looked around again and again. In his opinion, no one could catch him as long as he left the yard. But if he moved now, the woman would definitely stop him. He had to find a route to quickly jump over the yard wall.

So, he set his eyes on Gao Yuntian's position.

In his opinion, tall and strong people lack flexibility, and it would be fine if there was only one person with great martial arts skills in this place, but how could there be two?

At this time, Gao Yuntian had already held the iron ruler in his hand. After just a few glances, he knew that his sister was fine, but he didn't know why his sister didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue him.

There was a moment of silence in the yard, so quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard.

The moment the black-clad swordsman lunged at Gao Yuntian, the courtyard was filled with gasps of shock. Before the sound had even finished, Gao Yuntian knocked the black-clad swordsman to the ground with a single blow of his iron bar. Gao Yuntian then shouted, "Tie him up!"

The man in black felt that his arm was...broken, and he could hear a conversation between a man and a woman in his ears, which made him feel humiliated.

"Why don't you take him down neatly?"

"Don't you always want to leave people alive when you arrest them? If I attack again, will he still be alive?"

"What will you do if I don't arrive in time?"

"It's like cat and mouse. Try to keep him alive until you come."

……

The servants hiding in the backyard started to get busy, boiling water, stretching noodles, washing vegetables...

In Jia Chuan's house, Gao Yuntian was praising his wise decision.

The first thing he did after leaving the yard was not to go to the county government office, but to go to his uncle's house to ask his sister to come to the house as soon as possible. He did not wait until tomorrow.

This decision directly saved Jia Chuan's life.

The people patrolling outside the yard did not notice the man in black entering the yard, but the low growl that Dong Yuanyuan let out after being frightened echoed throughout the alley. Not only could it be heard by the patrolling people, but it could also be heard within two miles around.

However, the patrolmen did not rush into the courtyard, but sent someone to notify the county government immediately. Their reason was very good: they wanted to stay outside to prevent the thieves from escaping.

Gao Yuntian's uncle was also a wealthy man and lived not far from the county government office. Gao Yunduo came directly over, and Gao Yuntian went straight back to the county government office.

When he returned to the county government office, he saw Cui Youzhi, who was already in a state of panic and almost fainted from fear, and then he realized that the people in the house might be in danger and the torches were just a lure to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

Gao Yuntian quickly brought people over. The going in and out really wasted some time. Although he arrived a little later than his sister, he captured the man in black. How could he not be proud?
Jia Chuan was still in shock and had no mood to stop Gao Yuntian from being proud.

Dong Shuben and Shunzi were even more confused, and they might not have heard what Gao Yuntian said.

Only Dong Yuanyuan listened attentively. Even though she was covered in bruises from the fall, she still endured the pain and stayed because she wanted to hear the story and know what happened.

Gao Yunduo stared at Dong Yuanyuan curiously. How could she not know her brother's temper? She was too lazy to listen.

The servants brought in teapots and teacups, poured tea for everyone, and said the noodles would be ready soon.

Dong Yuanyuan was delighted when she heard this and said, "Give me some more noodles. I worked so hard just now, so I need to eat more to make up for it."

Gao Yunduo asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?" Dong Yuanyuan asked curiously.

"In that situation just now, life and death were a matter of a split second. Aren't you afraid?"

"What's the point of being afraid? Sometimes I feel wronged and I'll complain to my mother. She always tells me not to overthink things. Overthinking is more annoying. A lot of troubles are caused by thinking. If you don't think about them, they will disappear."

Dong Yuanyuan spoke very seriously. Gao Yunduo blinked, thought about it, and nodded slightly.
