Chapter 13: Adventures
The man in black probably didn't expect the little boy in the broken tavern to have the courage to ask him like this, he looked at the overstretched young man twice, and replied, "Oh, this is your home?" β
Huahua in Zhao Jiu's arms trembled all over, but Huahua pulled forward with her four feet, and her whole body was upside down: "Wangwang!" Wang-"
The barking of the dog alarmed Mr. Qin in the Guanyin Temple, he came out to take a look, the man in black in front of Zhao Jiu's house saw him, and he also saw those who were about to melt into the night. www.biquge.info The man in black walked by Zhao Jiu slowly, slowly, slowly, Hua Hua suddenly stopped screaming, staring at the man in black with wide eyes, as if he was ready to pounce on it and take a bite.
The man in black said without replying: "It's a good dog." β
When I looked at it again, the man had gone three or four feet away.
Zhao Jiumu inserted the door of the firewood garden, returned to the house and bolted the door to death, only to realize that it was cold behind him. When I touched it, my clothes were soaked. Zhao Jiu lit a fire and sat in front of the stove with a dog in his arms, both the man and the dog were a little weak. It wasn't until the water in the pot was bubbling that Zhao Jiu got up and grabbed the brown rice and cut two red lotus into it. There was porridge boiling in the pot, Zhao Jiu was still worried about Mr. Qin, he quietly opened the door a little, only to see that there was no fire and no palm lamp in the Guanyin Temple, he didn't dare to go out rashly, so he had to close the door again.
At night, it was as dark as the bottom of the pot, Zhao Jiu curled up on the bed with a dog in his arms, turning left and right and couldn't sleep. He pricked up his ears to listen to the movement of the Guanyin Temple, and listened to the gradual fight between his eyelids. Huahua buried her head in Zhao Jiu's arms, whimpered twice and gradually closed her eyelids.
I don't know what time it was, Zhao Jiu was suddenly awakened by the sound outside, and Huahua also raised her head from his arms, looking at one person and one dog blankly.
"Whew-"
"Huh!"
"Bang-"
This sound is exactly the same as the fights in Mr. Qin's story!
Ah, those men in black are really bad guys!
Zhao Jiu was so anxious that he grabbed a wooden stick and wanted to go out to help Mr. Qin, but Huahua bit his trouser leg and resolutely refused to let him go out. Zhao Jiu didn't dare to hit Huahua, and he didn't dare to make a sound, so he threw a wooden stick and wanted to climb out from the back of the house, not wanting a thunderbolt in the sky, followed by a muffled thunder - Zhao Jiu's whole body trembled!
"Boom-boom-"
"Crackle!"
The thunder and lightning were like hitting the top of the Guanyin Temple, and they also shook Zhao Jiu's soul almost out of his body. Zhao Jiu went back to the bed and covered himself and Huahua with the quilt, the sound was still very clear, Zhao Jiu had to take out two balls of cotton from the quilt and plug his ears. Huahua was so frightened that she lay on the bed and didn't dare to move, Zhao Jiu quickly hugged Huahua in his arms after cleaning up, and also pinched two cotton balls to plug Huahua's ears. There was a man and a dog in the quilt, shivering.
I don't know how long it took, Zhao Jiu pulled out the quilt in a groggy state, fresh and cold air poured into his lungs, and Zhao Jiu gradually woke up. When I opened my eyes, there was no time when there was another person in the room.
"Ahh Zhao Jiu immediately sat up from the bed, and the man said softly, "Don't panic, it's me!" β
It's Mr. Qin!
Zhao Jiu hurriedly got out of bed to touch the flint, but Mr. Qin stopped him and said, "Don't light the lamp!" Come here, I've got something to tell youβ"
"Mr. Qin, are you injured?"
"I'm fine!" Mr. Qin's voice sounded the same as usual, and Zhao Jiu stepped forward with confidence. By the light of the sky, Zhao Jiu could see that Mr. Qin's face was not very good, his eyes were red, and there seemed to be a strange light emanating from it. This person is indeed Mr. Qin, but it doesn't seem to be, anyway, Zhao Jiu can't say clearly, he stood respectfully in front of Mr. Qin, and asked with concern: "Sir, are you really not injured?" I don't think they're good people! β
Mr. Qin shook his head and asked Zhao Jiudao, "Do you want to learn martial arts?" β
Zhao Jiu nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes!" β
"I have here a secret book of peerless martial arts, and now I will give it to you, but you must swear to the heavens - you must not leak half of today's events to anyone in this life! Not half a word! Mr. Qin tore open his shirt and tore off a piece of skin from his chest, so frightened that Zhao Jiu couldn't help but take two steps back, but he didn't see any blood flowing out of Mr. Qin's body.
"Come here!" Mr. Qin ordered Zhao Jiu to take off his shirt, put the piece of skin on his chest, and cut his fingers to wipe the edge of the piece of skin, and the piece of skin stuck to Zhao Jiu's chest. Zhao Jiu was surprised, he hurriedly touched his chest with his hand, and asked in surprise and confusion: "Sir, this is, this is-"
"This martial art has been passed down for a hundred years, but only two people have practiced it, and I was once only one step away from success, but this step has made me fall into hell! You and I are destined, I can't bear to see this peerless martial art disappear with me, so I pass it on to you, whether you can practice it depends on your creation! β
"But sir, there's nothing up thereβ"
"You can see the moonlight on a full moon night!" Mr. Qin closed his eyes, took two deep breaths, and then said, "Zhao Jiu, you kneel!" β
"Plop!" Zhao Jiu remembered that Mr. Qin's stories were all about apprenticeship, so he didn't wait for Mr. Qin to explain, and bowed down: "Master is above, please accept the apprentice's three bows!" β
"I don't have the grace to teach you arts, you don't have to worship me, but you must keep the following three things in mindβ"
"Master, please speak!"
"First, don't talk about tonight to anyone!"
"Second, don't mention it to anyone!"
"Third, don't tell anyone that I'm your master!"
"This-" Zhao Jiu thought about it, kowtowed to Mr. Qin three more times, and said respectfully: "Mr. often says that one day is a teacher and a father for life, and I, Zhao Jiu, swear that I will never reveal half a sentence of tonight's events to anyone in this life. β
"Zhao Jiu, come over and let me take a good look."
"Yes, sir!" Zhao Jiu got up and walked forward to Mr. Qin, but the ground suddenly went dark in front of him, and he lost consciousness in an instant.
"Ahh Wake up! Wake up! β
Vaguely, Zhao Jiu heard someone calling him, as if it was Daddy!
"Daddy!" Zhao Jiu sat up with a spirit, and only then did he realize that there was a circle of people around him. He looked around, "Hey, why am I lying on the ground?"
"Wang! Woof! When Huahua saw Zhao Jiu wake up, she jumped on his leg and licked it on his face.
"Flowey!" Zhao Jiuyi hugged Huahua and didn't let it jump up and down, only to hear the person next to him say: "You kid, why don't you know that there is a fire in the house?" β
"Yes, even the Guanyin Temple has been burned! Aren't you usually a clever kid, why did you fall asleep on the side of the road? β
"What are you talking about-" Zhao Jiu pulled out the crowd and rushed out to take a look, and before he finished speaking, he saw a black ruin collapsed in front of himβthe two rooms left to him by his father Zhao Liumao had been reduced to ashes!
"Ahh Zhao Jiu sat on the ground, and unconsciously looked at the Guanyin Temple, only to see that there was only a pile of broken bricks and tiles left! He touched his chest, which seemed to be a little thicker than the rest of his body, could it be, could it be that what happened last night was true?
"Mr. Qinβ"
"It's gone! There is only a skeleton left in the temple, and there is nothing left! β
