Chapter 124 Robbery and Murder (1)
How could everyone in Huanxi Villa know about these things that happened far away? They talked happily about what had happened just now, thinking about the majesty of Shi Niu, and felt deeply envious. Many people secretly made up their minds to be even better when they returned to the sect. Work hard to strive for such a powerful moment in the future.
Only Shi Niu was still driving forward steadily as before, seemingly without the consciousness of being regarded as an idol by others. Fortunately, he had just gone through the so-called war and didn't have the heart to sing his famous songs at the top of his lungs. Otherwise, The image that has just been established in everyone's mind may collapse immediately.
Of course, not everyone in the villa was in high spirits, nor were they all calm. The only one who was unhappy was probably He Tianshu.
He Tianshu cannot be said to be particularly outstanding among the disciples of the Piao Miao Sect, but he can still be regarded as a standout. Although he was "assigned" to Huanxi Villa to work in the Chinese medicine field, his martial arts are still there, otherwise he would not be able to be a captain. ? He originally knew that there was a gap between him and Shi Niu, but he still didn't know how big the gap was. Now it seems that he can't win or lose after fighting for a long time, and it seems that he still has some strength left, but Shi Niu doesn't know the difference. As for Niu, he competed with his boss and knocked him away with just one palm. He was injured and vomited blood. Now it seems that the gap between him and Shi Niu is not that small. It seems that he was really arrogant before.
From now on, I still have a long way to go.
Among them, there is another person who is not very similar to others, a non-mainstream person, and that is the heartless Zhang Xiaohua. This man has not learned martial arts systematically, so naturally he does not know the hardships and dangers involved, especially when When he saw Shi Niu knocking the strong man away with one palm, he seemed to think of his previous experiences and immediately lost interest. So while others were discussing, he had silently picked up the book and looked to himself.
He didn't even pay attention to He Tianshu's belittlement.
The matter of robbery is like the waves in the river. It disappears as soon as it rolls over. It soon becomes just a joke for everyone after dinner. Even in the next town, when there are disciples of the Miao Miao Sect to help them, it is just a way of entertainment. Mentioned.
However, it is said that the unintentional listener has an intention. Lan Dong, a disciple of the Miao Miao Sect in this small town, is a careful person. After hearing this, he felt that something was not right. The people in Huanxi Villa did not know. That is normal. After all, they He's from out of town. He's been operating here for several years, but why haven't he heard of any bandits committing crimes? And it’s the kind that has no merit and is unusual?
He immediately thought about Xiao Jiujiu, but he couldn't express these thoughts to Ou Yan and the others. After all, they had already concluded that these were a group of stupid thieves. What about such a group of bandits?
All he could do was to quickly write down a note with his thoughts and report it to his leaders so that they could make a decision. Moreover, he also believed that as long as his leaders saw the news about Lord Ou, they would report it immediately. The senior leaders within the faction must not dare to delay.
After the news came out, he felt a little relieved. The next thing to do was to find an opportunity to explain it to the owner of Ou Village or Shi Niu and others so that he could be more vigilant.
However, when he told Ou Yan and others about these situations, it was not beyond his expectation. Ou Yan and Shi Niu did not take it seriously. Only Aunt Qin frowned slightly and wanted to say something, but Looking at Ou Yan's firm eyes, she shut up. She knew that Ou Yan wanted to return to Spring Valley, and she wouldn't believe anything she said at this time.
But then again, who would know that Ou Yan is going to Spring Valley?
Even if someone knew about it, what reason would they have to stop it?
Are they full? ?
Lan Dong saw that his words were not taken seriously, so he stopped talking. When Ou Yan left, he proposed to send a disciple to help her. However, he was rejected because there were not many Miao Miao disciples in the town. ,
Martial arts are also at the level of ordinary disciples. Only this Lan Dong is so comfortable, but he can't leave the town for a long time, unless it makes sense for him to escort him, and everyone else is doing their best.
Ou Yan refused Lan Dong's kindness on the grounds that she did not want to affect the daily operations of the Piaomiao Sect.
So the group of people drove their carriages and horses and moved forward, while Lan Dong returned to the small town and continued his daily business.
It wasn't until the evening of the second day after Ou Yan and the others left that news came from the Piaomiao Sect. When Lan Dong opened the note from the carrier pigeon, his expression changed drastically. He saw that it read: "Piaomiao Villa has sent an elder to go there. After receiving the news, we immediately sent out all our forces to protect the owner of the village. The forces of the Miao Miao Sect along the way all put the safety of the owner of the village as their top priority."
Lan Dong couldn't help but cry in his heart. It had been two days since Ou Yan and the others left. Who knows what happened again? He quickly wrote down the situation in brief, and released the carrier pigeon to spread the news to the Piaomiao Sect disciples in the next town. However, this place was no longer the Piaomiao Sect's sphere of influence. The Piaomiao Sect's manpower was widely dispersed. The other towns are not that far away from here. Whether we can catch up with this matter is still a question. We can only send out the news first.
After finishing these things, Lan Dong immediately summoned all the Piaomiao Sect disciples in the town, rode horses, and chased Ou Yan and the others along their route.
Ou Yan and his party bid farewell to Lan Dong and other Miao Miao sect disciples, and continued moving forward non-stop according to the planned route. However, after the farce of robbery, they became more and more vigilant. When they encountered some suspicious places, they always sent people to investigate first. It was passed later. In this way, after a few days, there were no more accidents, so everyone gradually let go of their worries.
In fact, as far as they are concerned, the robberies and killings in this world are really nothing. Which one, Shi Niu or Aunt Qin, has not experienced a bloody storm? It's just that this time there's obviously not enough manpower, and Ou Yan still has to be protected, so you have to think twice before doing anything and don't dare to make any mistakes.
We traveled like this for another three days. In the evening, the sun set in the west and the dusk fell. We saw that we had arrived at a place with no village or shop in front of us. Looking at the map, we saw that we were still far away from the next market town. We must be sleeping rough tonight. It was out in the wild, so Aunt Qin quickly ordered Shi Niu to walk all the way to find a place to rest.
When the sky gradually darkened, the carriage finally came to a small river. There was a spacious open space beside the river, which was just suitable for setting up a tent. So everyone stopped the carriage, took down all the things from the carriage, and prepared to camp here at night.
Although things such as setting up camp and burying pots did not have much to do with Zhang Xiaohua, Zhang Xiaohua was very harmonious with everyone during this period of time. How could he not help? Not to mention anything else, Zhang Xiaohua has a lot of strength. She helps the male and female disciples move things, set up tents, etc. The busy schedule makes everyone like this diligent child even more. By the time everyone finishes their work, it is already dark. Tou, everyone had their own division of labor, the male disciples were on guard all around, the female disciples were living and cooking with some people from the villa, leaving Zhang Xiaohua alone with nothing to do.
Zhang Xiaohua saw that it was still early for dinner, so she raised her eyes and looked around. She saw a dark area not far away, which seemed to be a small forest. She thought that she might as well take this time to pick up some firewood in the woods and burn the firewood for today. The homework was done.
Thinking about this, Zhang Xiaohua got up and prepared to walk out. Just after walking a few steps, he heard someone calling him. When he turned around, he saw that it was Qiu Tong, with Ou Yan and Aunt Qin beside him.
Zhang Xiaohua stopped quickly, saluted them with a smile, and greeted them respectively. Only then did Qiu Tong ask, "Zhang Xiaohua, you seem to be going out?"
Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "I see it's still early for dinner, so I want to go to the woods over there to find some firewood to use in the evening."
Qiutong said: "What a good boy. He also knows how to collect firewood."
Zhang Xiaohua quickly said modestly: "It's nothing, Sister Qiutong, I often make this at home."
At this time, Ou Yan asked: "After collecting firewood, do you still need to practice some kung fu?"
Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and asked: "Sister Ou, how did you know?"
Ou Yan said with a smile: "You have been traveling all this way, going out to find a place to practice Kung Fu every morning and evening. How could you hide it from our eyes and ears? However, Zhang Xiaohua, you are really beyond our expectations. You are diligent." Very, and I heard He Tianshu say that you read books every day, and you have read a lot of the books I borrowed from you."
Zhang Xiaohua's face turned red and she said embarrassedly: "Sister Ou, I had no choice but to learn some bits and pieces of boxing skills. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to practice well, so I only boxed secretly by myself, as well as that sword move. , also belongs to Professor Yu. I don’t want others to know about it. I am also afraid that I will forget it, so I have to avoid others. "
Ou Yan smiled and said: "I don't mean to blame you, I just admire your diligence. Of course I know a thing or two about Yu Lao's swordsmanship. You can practice it, but you will still be the same as before. Others In fact, I haven’t even peeked at you much. Seeing that you are so aggressive, when this matter is over, I will give advice to my brother and see if you have a good opportunity."
Who is Ou Yan's brother? That was the leader of the Piao Miao Sect. With just one word, Zhang Xiaohua's dream could come true. At this moment, Zhang Xiaohua didn't quite believe her ears and was stunned.
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's silly look, Qiu Tong whispered, "Zhang Xiaohua, why don't you thank Miss quickly?"
Zhang Xiaohua woke up from a dream, with excitement on her face, and said happily: "Thank you, Sister Ou. If I have the chance, I will definitely practice martial arts well."
Ou Yan said: "Zhang Xiaohua, you don't have to be too happy. I'm just saying that whether you can succeed or not depends on yourself."
Zhang Xiaohua said: "As long as I have this opportunity, Sister Ou, I will definitely try my best to fight for it. Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. I don't know whether I should talk about it or not."
Ou Yanqi said: "Is there anything else? Tell me."
Zhang Xiaohua said nonchalantly: "Well, you can borrow my book. Captain He also wants to read it. Do you think that's okay?"
Ou Yan was happy and said: "It doesn't matter, He Tianshu is not an outsider. People in the pharmacy want to learn the art of planting, as long as he doesn't spread it to others, and by the way, don't damage my book, otherwise he won't be allowed to read it. .”
Zhang Xiaohua felt relieved. Ever since He Tianshu gave him the little sword, he had been trying to find an opportunity to tell Ou Yan about He Tianshu's reading, but along the way, there was no good opportunity. After finishing my thoughts, I couldn't help but feel relaxed for a while. Taking advantage of others' short hands and eating others' short mouths is like the ancients.
At this time, a nice voice sounded: "Zhang Xiaohua, how is your right hand recovering? Is it okay to hold the sword?"
Zhang Xiaohua looked at Aunt Qin gratefully and said, "Sister Qin, thank you for your concern. Fortunately, I'm recovering quickly now. I can hold the sword now, but I'm still not flexible yet."
Aunt Qin said: "The inflexibility of your fingers is a major shortcoming in sword practice. You should practice well and pay attention to moderation. Don't overwork yourself and hurt your fingers, which is not good."
Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "I know, I always do restorative exercises, and stop immediately when I feel pain."
The four of them said a few more words, and Zhang Xiaohua then left. However, just after taking a few steps, Ou Yan warned a few words from behind: "Zhang Xiaohua, don't walk too far. Come back early after practice. There may be something wrong tonight." storm."
Zhang Xiaohua heard the words and looked up at the sky. Sure enough, the sky was gloomy and the stars that were usually as bright as pearls were nowhere to be seen. Even the full moon was missing.
Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "I know, Sister Ou, I'll be back after practice, and I'm still waiting for dinner."
After saying that, he waved to the three of them and walked towards the dark place alone.
When Zhang Xiaohua walked to that place, he realized that it was not a forest, but a small hill. Firewood could not be collected, but it did not delay his boxing practice.
So, Zhang Xiaohua first took out her beloved little sword and practiced the sword moves easily. After many days of practice, this sword move is even more refined now. Compared with the first time she poked out a bamboo with a small sword, The big hole is different. During this period, Zhang Xiaohua mainly practiced controlling the strength of the small sword. Now he can control the strength very delicately. When the strength is strong, he can easily pierce the objects in front of him, such as rocks or big trees. With a large hole and small force, the tree can be gently clicked at the same speed, leaving only a slight dot. This can be regarded as a little trick that Zhang Xiaohua has figured out after practicing sword moves. Bar.
What Ou Yan said was right. After Zhang Xiaohua had just practiced his Beidou Shenquan nine times, the familiar cool current traveled all over his body, and the raindrops began to drip down. Today's homework was completed. , Zhang Xiaohua naturally stopped staying any longer, and ran back to the camp quickly, but just halfway through, he suddenly felt a strange feeling, and couldn't help but stop, letting the raindrops fall more densely on his body, but when he waited When he calmed down and listened carefully, except for the hurried footsteps of everyone at the bonfire in the villa ahead, and the shouts of people shouting "It's raining, put away your clothes", there seemed to be no other movement. The patter of raindrops, Either dull or crisp, it masks other movements in the world.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and Zhang Xiaohua did not dare to stay longer and rushed back to the camp.
On the hill where he had just practiced boxing, a man wearing night clothes and a hood covered his face quietly poked his head out, looked at his back indifferently, and then looked at the rainy night sky, smiling with satisfaction. Laughing, he leaned over and used Qing Gong to go away.
Zhang Xiaohua ran into the camp, and everyone was in a panic. The rain came down too fast. Although everyone was prepared, they were still confused by the heavy rain. They waited for everyone to pack everything up. , the heavy rain was already pouring down like running water.
Zhang Xiaohua was in the same tent as He Tianshu. When he came in, He Tianshu had already packed up everything and said with a smile: "Going to practice boxing again? You got wet*."
Then, he casually handed him a dry towel. Zhang Xiaohua took it with a smile and said: "It just started to rain when we were practicing boxing. This rain is to help them pack things and water it."
Then, Zhang Xiaohua wiped the rain off her head with a dry towel. Then she remembered and said, "I met the owner of the village just now. She said she agreed to let you read her book. However, you can't spread it to others, and you can't mess with the book." broken."
He Tianshu said: "Then my thanks go to you, Xiaohua."
Zhang Xiaohua was surprised and said: "Don't you tell the owner of this kind of thing differently? Why do you want me to say it for you? You can see it every day. I have delayed it for several days and only saw it today. Go to the owner."
He Tianshu said awkwardly: "Well, you are still young and don't understand. After all, Master Ou is the owner of Huanxi Villa, and I am a disciple of the Piao Miao Sect Pharmacy Hall. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to mention it rashly."
Zhang Xiaohua nodded as if she understood, and then said as if she was remembering something: "By the way, I also want to thank Captain He for his kind words in front of the village owner. The village owner said that he would wait for this matter to go back and find an opportunity to talk to Gang Leader Ou. Let me learn martial arts."
"Ah? Really?" He Tianshu didn't seem to believe it, and asked: "The owner of the village really told you that?"
"Yes!" Zhang Xiaohua also nodded happily.
He Tianshu smiled and said: "What I said to you is just a matter of practicality. If you can get the favor of the village owner, it is your chance. If you find the opportunity in the future, you must repay the village owner well."
Zhang Xiaohua said: "Yes, I will definitely do it. The owner of the village is like my sister, and I will definitely repay you."
He Tianshu added: "However, practicing martial arts depends on chance. You are not in good health yet. Even if you practice martial arts, you may not be successful. You must be mentally prepared; besides, there are many disciples in the Piao Miao Sect who are as diligent as you. , you are just at Huanxi Villa, and compared with Ma Jing and the others, you look very hardworking, so you will have to work harder in the future."
Zhang Xiaohua's face turned pale and she said, "I know, Captain He, you are all very kind to me. I will definitely work hard to practice martial arts."
He Tianshu smiled, walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and said: "When I was young, I was as passionate as you. Do it well, I'll take good care of you~"
Then, he frowned and said: "It's raining so hard. Our camp is still close to the river. There won't be any danger in the middle of the night. I have to go to Shi Niu and the others to discuss it. Zhang Xiaohua, you go to bed early." Bar."
As he was talking, suddenly, outside the tent, there seemed to be another intensive sound of horse hooves amidst the pounding rain. He Tianshu and Zhang Xiaohua looked at each other warily and walked out of the tent at the same time.
