Chapter 32: A ghostly boxing match
Tang Xinyu looked forward to me and motioned for me to eat the lunch.
I can't say what I feel like in my heart, but I am obviously moved, but I have to keep my distance from her, this feeling is not good.
I picked up a piece of slippery pork and put it in my mouth, it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, very refreshing, and the sour feeling was also appetizing.
"How's it going?"
Tang Xinyu's bright eyes like diamonds, with the color of expectation, leaned next to me and asked softly, the faint milk fragrance on her body drifted into my nose with the breeze, and her whole body was refreshed.
On such a beautiful afternoon, with a beautiful woman by her side, eating the food she cooked, happiness is just as simple as that.
"It's delicious, I didn't expect your craftsmanship to be so good!" I smiled heartily, and walked up with my whirlwind chopsticks, eating a whole box of bento boxes, and the gobbling up action was better than all false compliments.
Tang Xinyu's head rested on her legs, looking at me intently, full of happy expressions, as if it wasn't me who ate delicious food, it was her.
"This box for rice may be a little small, are you not full, I'll change to a bigger box for you tomorrow!" Tang Xinyu put the box away again and said with a smile.
Looking at Tang Xinyu's pure and beautiful smiling face, I really don't want any accidents to happen to this flawless angel.
"Next time you cook it, remember to put salt in the dish, otherwise it will be very light!" I said.
Tang Xinyu's smile turned into a panicked face, her slender fingers dipped in the leftover vegetable soup of the bento, licked her fingers and said, "Ah, it's all my fault, I was busy with my graduation thesis, and I forgot to put salt when I was stir-frying!"
Tang Xinyuqiao's face flushed, full of guilt and embarrassment, and said: "You still eat so fragrant without salt, deliberately pretending to show me, are you really bad!"
Tang Xinyu played with me, and the pink fist gently knocked on my chest, and my heart throbbed and rolled, accurately grabbing her gentle jade hand.
Her body seemed to be short-circuited, and she immediately froze, and her face suddenly gave birth to a blush of color, and she looked at me blankly.
The evening breeze is coming, the sunset is more beautiful, and a hot fragrant breeze wafts by, which is the most suitable for intimate kissing between couples.
Looking at her rosy cherry mouth, I feel that I should enjoy the beauty and beauty of this moment.
But I didn't.
"You don't have to bring me food tomorrow, I want to go to another place during this time, and you don't have classes now, so let's prepare for the defense of your graduation thesis at home!" I paused, and finally let her go.
Tang Xinyu licked her lips awkwardly, a little embarrassed on her face for no reason, and asked a little sadly: "What are you doing in the field, when will you come back?"
She didn't want me to leave, and that would make her a little sad, but the more sad things were yet to come.
I sat up from the ground, pretended to be impatient and stretched my waist, and said: "I don't know, it may be a long time, there is a distant relative who is doing business in the field and wants me to go over to help, you also know that I am alone now, except for the school subsidy, I can't support myself, I can still earn money by working for him, if the development is good, maybe I won't come back!"
I didn't even look at her because I didn't dare to look at her.
Tang Xinyu's willow eyebrows were tightly clustered together, she hurriedly got up, turned to me, and asked eagerly: "Are you going to work in other places?"
"No, I graduated anyway to find a job, there are ready-made, what kind of school do I want to go to!"
"What about the triathlon team, the people here are all coming for you, and if you leave, their backbone will be gone!" Tang Xinyu's hand was cramped in front of her chest.
"With the bearded coach, the training will continue as usual when I leave, and besides, I have already won a championship for the school, and I will do my best!" I rubbed my nose and looked up at the sunset in the distance, because I had water in my eyes, and I looked down for fear that it would fall.
"What about your brothers, are you willing to part with them?" Tang Xinyu's voice began to tremble.
"There is no feast in the world, if there is a fate, you will gather, if you don't have a fate, you will not gather, and the earth will turn the same way if you leave everyone!"
Tang Xinyu was silent and looked at me blankly, her eyes like looking at a stranger.
At the end, she took a deep breath, her rosy lips were biting blood, and said, "Do you really want to give up everything here?" I never asked you anything, but this time I want to ask you, what about me! What will I do if you leave?"
What about me?
She wanted an explanation.
It's the first time I like a man so much, and the relationship is unclear from beginning to end.
She is the proud daughter of heaven coveted by everyone, a collection of thousands of favors, whether in school, or in the future to step into the society, her beauty, her temperament, so that talent and ability are the dragon and phoenix among the thousands.
By chance, she gave me a sincere heart and gave me such an irresponsible man, and what can I say to her?
"You ......"
I can say the irresponsible words before, but this matter, the words are like a fish in my throat, and I can't say anything.
Seeing this, Tang Xinyu's lost expression regained her brilliance, stepped forward and hugged me closely, stubbornly grabbed my hand, and said excitedly: "You don't want to leave me, don't you, stay in Yangcheng, with your ability, you can also find a good job in the future, don't you still open a restaurant with your brothers in the back street, I have been to eat, it is very good, there must be development, if you don't like to open a restaurant and want to go to other places, tell me which city to go to, I will accompany you to go there, my graduation job will be signed there, let's start from scratch and work together, okay?" ”
Tang Xinyu considered all the factors thoughtfully, and her firm attitude made my heart even worse and tormented.
The next second, a sneer provoked at the corner of my mouth, stubbornly pushed her away, raised my chin slightly, and said: "You think too much, I do have to start from the beginning, but, I am alone, not with you, from beginning to end, it seems that you automatically glued up, and I ...... It's just that you've been a stalker of suitors, you don't know me yet, I'm used to being free and loose, and I hate being pestered the most, I was afraid that you would be sad and didn't tell you this, and now I'm leaving, I might as well say it!"
"You're good anywhere, but it's not my dish, it's like there's no salt in the rice, I have the opportunity to go out to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, so why eat these light and unwanted ordinary goods, so I can only say goodbye to you, fortunately, nothing happened to us, it's not too much!"
I deliberately shrugged my shoulders, spread my hands, and told everything in a conclusive way, with cynicism on the surface and no trace of affection.
However, with a smile on my face, she was sad and weeping, and the dazzling brilliance in her bright eyes had long since disappeared!
People say that the state of excessive sadness is laughter, Tang Xinyu's tears slipped down her face, and in the end she also laughed, laughing so miserably, laughing so that everyone would pity it when they saw it.
"Hehe, okay, thank you for giving me the opportunity to get to know you, indeed, it's always been me, a clingy woman, who has been pestering you, I'm annoying, very annoying, you can be relieved this time, I wish you all the best, in this school, in my memories, there will be no more people like you, Ye Fan, just when I've never known you, and you haven't known me!"
Tears blurred her vision, and I didn't know how desperate she was.
But the moment she turned around, her slender body was still straight, and her beautiful cheeks were slightly raised, never lowered.
Her lonely back, against the golden afterglow of the setting sun, gradually moved away from me.
I lit a cigarette and watched her from behind my back until she was completely out of the stadium.
Don't look down, the crown will fall.
Don't shed tears, the enemy will laugh.
Live proudly all the time, you have always been the well-deserved president of the student council in my heart, a flawless angel, my hands will not defile your purity, let alone drag you down to make trouble, there will be a better man to have you in the future, but that person ...... It definitely won't be me.
The sunset was so dazzling that it shot into my eyes, and a warm crystal fell, and I knew that I was not shedding tears, but the sun was too dazzling.
Throughout the afternoon, I was alone in the stadium, constantly repeating the tricks of wrapping sand hands and breaking the spirit snake, using this method to vent the grief and sorrow in my heart.
Enemies, opponents, all the pressure, you made me lose my beautiful things, lost the care of my relatives, and even forced me to hurt the people I liked, at the cost of living in pain.
Then from now on, everything I have lost will be recovered from you a thousand times over.
Since I can't get rid of a life of misery, let the blood of the enemy wash me a different path in life!
Rush forward and never look back!
It wasn't until eight o'clock in the evening that I was sweating profusely that I stopped all this, and there were still nine days to go, and the negotiations between Liu Zhen and Wu Ba were about to begin, and the results determined the direction of Yangcheng in the future.
If the forces of Liu and Wu can rule across the river, King Wu Yan may be afraid and restrained, after all, our Liaoda is under Liu Zhen's sphere of influence and can be protected.
But once the negotiation fails, the jade is burned, Liu Zhen himself is difficult to protect, and he has no time to care about the life and death of others.
I don't like to leave my fate to someone else's decision, and during this time, I will try my best to prepare as much as I can.
I will not appear in front of my brothers, disappear for a while, secretly observe their movements, protect them, and avoid Wu Haotian's troubles.
Afterwards, I went to a small shop in the city center and asked for two dishes and three bowls of rice, which I devoured to replenish my energy for the evening boxing match.
At ten o'clock, I took the last train to the western suburbs of Yangcheng, and the bus terminal was more than four miles away from the ghost market, and I could only walk there.
At midnight, the ghost market opened, and I found clothes and golden masks hidden there in the hidden barley.
After entering the bomb shelter, I found that there were more spectators today than before, more than 400 people.
These people came from all over the north, and some even from other provinces drove overnight to bet on a few boxing fights and then go back the next day.
The boxing matches here are relatively fair, and there is no element of fraud, which is an important reason why it has endured for so many years.
My boxing fight with the Blood Leopard was scheduled for the final show, as the finale.
While waiting, I secretly watched other fighters fight, gained experience, and occasionally learned something useful to improve myself.
In the yellow-level ring, there are very few people with special strength, and I and the Blood Leopard are the best among them, but my situation is different from his.
He is the kind of person who hides his strength and pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, and every time he turns evil into good fortune, he deliberately creates an illusion.
However, my strength is gradually improving in every game, exchanging my life for experience.
In more than an hour, all four games were played, and another person unfortunately died.
As I said before, there are only two possibilities if you want to stop the game, one is that you are killed, and the other is that you can clear the four levels of heaven, earth, Xuan, and Huang.
So far, I haven't even seen what the fighters in the Xuan-level boxing tournament look like, let alone advance to the heaven-level ring.
Once the fat man who watched the field inadvertently revealed a piece of information that the ghost market in Yangcheng only has two levels of boxing competitions at the Xuan and Huang levels, and the second level of heaven and earth has to be fought elsewhere.
If you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that the existence of the ghost market is much more complicated than I imagined, and this may only be a branch of the ghost market, and in a more mysterious place, there is also the existence of the headquarters.
After the warm-up exercise, the iron cage opened, and the blood leopard and I walked in one by one.
Most of the contestants here are not masked, with the exception of me, and the Blood Leopard doesn't seem to let people know his identity, wearing a red mask that covers half of his face.
The odds for this match are 1:1.5 for me and 1:1.4 for Blood Leopard, and he is a little bit louder than me because this is his promotion match, and once he wins, he will go to the Xuan Rank.
With a ding, the gong sounded, and the duel officially began.
The Blood Leopard and I stood still as if we hadn't heard.
When the masters make moves between them, they all first deter each other with momentum, observe the subtle situation, and know themselves and the enemy, at this point, he is as cautious as me.
After looking at each other for ten seconds, the audience was a little impatient to wait, and we took steps at the same time.
The Blood Leopard is a head shorter than me, the muscles all over the body are very condensed, and the movements are much more agile than mine, I am used to fighting strong and clumsy opponents, and he is the first to be agile, which is also a headache for me.
We exchanged tentative hands, punches and kicks, back and forth for ten rounds, and the power and speed of my shots increased little by little, and he didn't let it go at all, and the sound of the impact became louder and louder.
Through these few contacts, I found that he is not stronger than me in strength, but his movements are faster and his moves are more weird.
In addition to the fighting skills that Uncle Yue taught me, I also have two tricks in the ghost hand, the sand hand and the spirit snake break.
The second move is a killer move, but I'm not proficient at all in using it now, so I don't dare to use it easily, so as not to expose the flaws and be hit by him.
After fifteen minutes, we still didn't play a wonderful situation, and the audience cursed, saying that we were two old men playing Tai Chi on it.
The duration of the duel is limited to 20 minutes, and if the winner is not decided by the end of the round, it will be considered a draw and the battle will continue the next day.
No one wanted to see that outcome, and for the next five minutes, our confrontation became noticeably fierce.
I spotted a tiny hole in his shot, and when his fist hit him, I easily dodged it with one side of my right leg, stepped forward with my left leg, grabbed his wrist with one hand, and turned the knife into the palm of the other, cutting straight into the back of his neck.
We fought for more than 30 rounds, and the only fatal flaw he showed was that if I hit with one hit, he would lose his combat effectiveness in an instant.
"Okay, okay, the golden flash is really fast, Lao Tzu didn't look away, and killed him. ”
The gamblers who bet on me to win cheered.
At the moment when my palm knife was about to cut out, the corner of the blood leopard's mouth suddenly provoked a strange arc, and the arm I was holding suddenly shook, like a loach, and instantly broke away from my palm with spiral force.
At the same time, his left hand, which was secretly immovable, came first, and shot directly at my elbow from below.
"You're dead, the purpose of my boxing here is to send you to the West Heaven, go to die, surnamed Ye!"
The first time the Blood Leopard spoke, its voice as thin as a needle, but it pierced deep into my heart.
Does he know my name?
He's going to put me to death?
"Who are you?"
