Chapter 3

After school, Dongfang Tianma and Nie Ru came to the village pasture alone, and the two leaned side by side on the white fence and chatted. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Pegasus, what are your plans after graduating from the Soul Guiding School?" Nie Ru turned her head with a pair of big eyes, her silky smooth long black hair was scattered over her slender shoulders, and her fair and beautiful face made Dongfang Tianma's heartbeat involuntarily accelerate.

Looking up at the blue sky, a white cloud in the shape of a bird was slowly drifting by. Dongfang Tianma stared at the cloud, with a yearning look in his eyes, and said, "I have been telling Aunt Qing that I want to participate in the assessment of the city-state swordsman group, but Aunt Qing just doesn't agree, so I don't know what I should do now." ”

Nie Ru said: "I heard that Liao Zisheng is also going to enter the city-state swordsman group, and his father seems to know the little leader in the city-state swordsman group, saying that he will give him personal counseling alone." ”

Dongfang Tianma leaned his hands behind his head and said, "What's the big deal about that!" Aunt Qing also knows the captain of the Knights of the Claw Frog City-State! It's a pity that she opposes me becoming a swordsman, otherwise, as long as I say hello to the other side, I don't even need to take the assessment. ”

Nie Ru said: "Aunt Qing, she is also good for you, I think you still go to the Soul Stone Academy in the city with me, and we will study hard together and become a professional scholar in soul guidance." Being a swordsman or something, after all, is still too dangerous, not suitable for ordinary people in small villages and towns like us. ”

As soon as Dongfang Tianma heard this, he first felt dissatisfied in his heart, and without thinking about it, he retorted: "Why are you against me like Aunt Qing?" I thought you were the only one who supported me as a swordsman, but now it doesn't seem like that at all. Did Aunt Qing ask you to persuade me? ”

Facing Dongfang Tianma's dissatisfied questioning, Nie Ru stretched out her white palm to cover her lips that were open in panic, and then she lowered her gaze, and the bangs on her forehead swayed in the wind like a curtain. I heard her whisper, "I'm sorry Pegasus, I just thought that if you didn't become a swordsman, we could go to school together and hang out together, just like we did when we were kids." ”

Dongfang Tianma also realized that his words were a little heavy, and his annoyed eyes turned cold, and he said: "I should say I'm sorry for my Xiaoru, but I was too emotional just now." ”

Nie Ru hurriedly shook her head and said, "Don't think too much about Pegasus, I'm not angry, I just want to be with you......" Her anxious look was very cute, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks, and the more she talked about it, the more she was like a mosquito and a fly.

Dongfang Tianma stepped forward and gently hugged Nie Ru into his arms, the fragrance of flowers on her body wafted in the air, and her soft body seemed to be bubbles that would break if she used a force. Nie Ru also rested her head on Dongfang Pegasus's shoulders, and her hands passed under Dongfang Pegasus's armpits and pressed against his shoulder blades.

Dongfang Tianma said: "I hope you can understand me Xiaoru, and the only person who can understand me is you." My ideal is to be a swordsman, not a scholar or a craftsman as you and Aunt Qing said, if a person can't move towards his ideal, what is the difference between death and death? ”

On the grassland not far away, dense cattle and sheep are grazing leisurely, and the white clouds on the horizon are floating over the distant mountains one by one.

After separating from Nie Ru, Dongfang Tianma went to the only fried chicken shop in the village to buy a large paper bag full of fried chicken nuggets. This shop was opened by the uncle of the chicken farm in the village, and his wife was in charge of running it, and as a regular customer and acquaintance, the hospitable proprietress would always give him more money.

There is a wide open space to the north of Fengqi Village, which in the early days was used by villagers to cut wood. At that time, a large number of new houses were built in the nearby urban areas, and the furniture and timber needed were in short supply. These are all things that Yun Jiu told Dongfang Tianma, at that time Yun Jiu was young and strong, and it is said that the house he lives in now was built with money saved at that time. But this did not last long, and within three years the city was no longer in need of timber, and the lumberjacks lost their jobs in large numbers, and finally they all returned to their old jobs, and the logging site was abandoned. However, this does not mean that the lumber yard has lost its popularity, and although there are no lumberjacks here, there are half-grown children everywhere and have become a playground for them.

"Hey! Can! Bread! Black charcoal! Come out! Dongfang Tianma carried a paper bag full of fried chicken nuggets in one hand and put the other hand to his lips and called out loudly. There are bare tree stumps on all sides, and in the distance there is a long-abandoned wooden hut that used to be a lumberjack's dormitory.

After hearing the call of the Eastern Pegasus, three small figures rushed out from behind the wooden house, with white skin and fat faces, and wearing a pair of wooden shoes that were canned. His face was yellow, his hair was curly, and he wore a half-new white coat of bread. The face is dark, the head is pointy, and the two shiny front teeth in the mouth are black charcoal. These three are all teenagers from Fengqi Village, four or five years older than Dongfang Tianma, and they have liked to surround Dongfang Tianma since they were young, letting him play with them. Over time, they all recognized Dongfang Tianma as their big brother.

"Big Brother Pegasus!" The three teenagers stood in a row, greeting the captain in the same posture that they had seen in the town before.

Dongfang Tianma also imitated the appearance of the leader of the city-state swordsman team, tilted his head up, put his hands behind his back, walked in front of the three of them with a grin, and said, "Very good! You are all the elite members of my Pegasus Swordsman Regiment, and you are also the loyal subordinates of my Pegasus captain. For a long time, we have gone through all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, defeated many strong opponents, and it is not easy to get to where we are today. Now I officially announce it! In order to comfort the best subordinates of my Pegasus Swordsman Regiment, a large bag of fried chicken nuggets will be awarded as a reward! As he spoke, he took out a large bag of fried chicken nuggets that had been hidden behind him.

"Okay!" The cans were excited.

"Hooray!" Bread rejoices.

"Awesome!" Black charcoal is in full swing.

At that moment, the four of them sat on the ground next to the wooden pier and sat in a circle, and Dongfang Tianma divided the fried chicken pieces among the three people, and he also grabbed a piece with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.

The canned food is the most edible of the three teenagers, and the fat little face is covered with the greasy fried chicken, but he is afraid that the remaining fried chicken pieces will be eaten by others, so he desperately stuffs it into his mouth. Seeing him like this, Hei Tan on the side said with a little dissatisfaction: "Hey! You're too greedy for canned food, aren't you? The bread on the other side also chimed in: "Yes! It's you who eats the most every time. ”

Hearing them say this, Canned still unceremoniously reached into the paper bag containing the fried chicken, grabbed a large handful, and retorted, "Who made you eat so slowly?" The first to grab is the first to win! ”

Dongfang Tianma didn't have much appetite, and he only accompanied the three of them to eat two bites, and he couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene.

"Playing the Swordsman Regiment is such a boring game, you guys have a lot of fun!" An arrogant voice came from behind Dongfang Tianma, and there was no need to turn his head to look, Dongfang Tianma also knew that it was Liao Zisheng.

Liao Zisheng is the son of the only grocery store owner in Fengqi Village, and it is a great thing to be able to run such a store in such a remote village and town. In addition, Liao Zisheng's mother is the sister of the head of the neighboring village, and there is always her mother's family to help her in everything, so the villagers near and far are very polite to their family, and even take the initiative to send some agricultural products to please them. Liao Zisheng naturally became a young master in Fengqi Village.

At this time, Liao Zisheng was looking at Dongfang Tianma and the others with a lofty posture, he was wearing a red striped leather long-sleeved jacket that can only be sold in clothing stores in the city, a pair of white trousers on the lower body, shoes were hand-sewn from pure cowhide, and he was wearing the most popular soul guide watch on his wrist.

"What are you doing here?" Dongfang Tianma asked in a hostile tone. He and Liao Zisheng have been rivals since childhood, and the two of them don't like each other, and they often get into trouble because of disagreements.

Liao Zisheng glared at Dongfang Tianma with contemptuous eyes, and said unhurriedly: "Don't talk nonsense!" I'm here to test your swordsmanship! ”

Dongfang Tianma frowned, and replied coldly: "Your brain is in water, right?" With your three-legged cat kung fu? ”

Liao Zisheng snorted coldly and said, "You also know that at the end of the year, the city-state swordsman group will come to the assessment, right?" You only have one chance a year to become a swordsman, so I'm going to defeat you! Became the strongest swordsman among his peers in the village. ”

Dongfang Tianma put down the paper bag containing the fried chicken nuggets in his hand, picked up a fallen leaf on the ground and wiped the greasy on his hand, walked to a place four or five meters away from Liao Zisheng and stood still, stared at the other party's eyes and said, "Then come on!" Hurry up and convince you, I'll finish the rest of the fried chicken. ”

"Don't be too arrogant!" As soon as Liao Zisheng finished speaking, he took out the two wooden swords he was carrying behind him and threw one of them to Dongfang Tianma. Dongfang Tianma took the wooden sword but threw it aside, and said to him, "Who is rare about your broken sword." Then he picked up a thin branch on the ground, held it in his hand, and said, "This is enough for me." ”

Liao Zisheng snorted coldly: "Don't regret it!" A sword swung head-on. Dongfang Tianma dodged slightly to the side, raised the branch in his hand and used the sword as a whip, aiming at Liao Zisheng's side face.

Before Liao Zisheng could react, he felt a hot pain in his cheeks, but he still rushed up to entangle unconvinced. Dongfang Tianma easily dodged on one side again, turned around, and hit Liao Zisheng's back again.

Liao Zisheng is still a pampered rich son after all, and he can't bear a lot of pain. His feet were loose and he fell on the muddy ground crowded with fallen leaves. He struggled and rolled on the ground a few more times, leaving his clean clothes covered in mud.

Dongfang Tianma threw the branch in his hand on the ground casually, and said with an indifferent expression: "I said earlier, with your three-legged cat's kung fu, you will not be my opponent if you practice for another ten years." With that, he walked straight back to the three teenagers and left.

Liao Zisheng struggled on the ground for a long time, and only when Dongfang Tianma and the others were far away did he sit up from the ground. From the woods not far away, a figure came out, a man of about forty years of age, with a sallow complexion and deep-set eyes, dressed in the white uniform of the city-state swordsmen's order, embroidered with a black bear on the surface of his coat, and a sword-shaped badge on his shoulder, on which were carved with two shining five-pointed stars.

The man reached out and pulled Liao Zisheng up from the ground, and said in a hoarse voice in his throat: "Are you okay?" ”

Liao Zisheng nodded and said, "No problem, Uncle Jin Duoclaw, how do you see Tianma's swordsmanship?" Am I hopeless of winning him? ”

Jin Duoclaw sneered and said, "With your current ability, winning him is simply a pipe dream." ”

As soon as Liao Zisheng heard Jin Duoclaw say this, he immediately showed a depressed expression. At this time, Jin Duoclaw said again: "But that kid is not without flaws, his mastery of sword power is really good, but the pace of his feet is not compact enough, we can find a way from this aspect." ”

"Really? That's great! Liao Zisheng turned his worries into joy.

Jin Duo said: "There are still three months left before the assessment of the city-state swordsman group, and during this time, I will focus on training you on how to deal with that kid's swordsmanship, which is enough for you to earn back face in front of everyone." ”
