Chapter 12: Fighting for Life
"That's great!" The prince of the county leaned on the railing on the second floor, and clapped his palms with a feather fan with crooked eyebrows: "Abacus!" ”
"The subordinates are here." The expressionless steward bowed his head and saluted to the master who was dancing like chicken blood on it.
"Accept his silver ticket, and take 10,000 taels of silver ticket for the lord to bet!" Just like a cat in spring sees a mouse, it finally has an eye-catching game object. For gamblers, a big gamble is also a rare blessing, and the prince of the county only feels inexplicably excited!
"Yes." The steward was about to turn around when he answered, and the beautiful voice from upstairs came down again, but the content of the words was not very good: "Let the coffin be prepared later, and send the Buddha to heaven, where do you come from, boy, and send it back to you!" ”
Yue Xi smiled slightly when he heard this, and did not speak, picked up the pen and signed his name on the two life and death documents, and dipped his thumb in the ink and pressed the handprint.
After signing it, she picked up two pieces of paper, looked at them, and threw them on the table, and then moved her muscles.
"Hey, you're dying, isn't it too late to start practicing now?" The prince stretched his neck and looked at the documents on the table of the Eight Immortals, and his eyes glanced at the boy standing at the top of the stairs, and the boy immediately went over and put the two documents on the tray and carried them upstairs.
"It's not fast to grind the gun, it's a while, it's a while......" Yue Xi responded casually, but his hands and feet were not idle, unless it was a last resort, it was still necessary to do a warm-up exercise before strenuous exercise, which was an effective way to protect his body.
"Yue ...... Xi ......" The prince of the county picked up the life and death document from the tray held by the boy and read Yue Xi's name, and then he nodded: "I didn't expect your handwriting to be so beautiful." It's a pity......"
Yue Xi didn't speak, there was already movement in the room she was facing her.
The door of the house that had been closed under the stairs on the right side opened, and two strong men with upper bodies walked out carrying a bundle of carpets, and they didn't speak, but laid them directly on the ground.
There were a few dark brown marks on the thin carpet, which Yue Xi knew was after the blood had been sprinkled on it and dried up.
"Brother!" Zheng Baocai obviously saw this too, and he couldn't help but shudder.
"It's rare that I'm hungry today." Yue Xi stepped onto the carpet with mottled blood stains and stepped on it everywhere before she grinned at Zheng Baocai: "Later, our brother will eat haggis soup, it's time for Brother Zheng to invite!" ”
"Done! One person has a big bowl, put more pepper noodles, and two more noodles to burn, brother, are you enough to eat? Zheng Baocai's nose was sour, and his eyes were already full of tears.
"I'm greedy, I want to eat haggis, and the fire will belong to you, Brother Zheng." Yue Xi said with a grin.
Zheng Baocai turned to the door, and he couldn't take the words.
A bowl of haggis soup, Brother Yue is afraid that he will not be able to eat it......
He felt terrible!
I owe it for a while, and I pushed my friend to the point of no return, and he is sorry for others!
And he can't pay it back for the rest of his life......
"Master, you're all ready." The good-mannered steward also walked out with a tray in his hand, on which was a silver ticket stamped with a gilded stamp.
"Who of us here wants to have fun?" Putting the life and death documents in his hand back on the tray, the prince of the county leaned back on the railing and asked slowly.
"Master, let the little slaves take this over." The little boy tray was raised above his head and knelt directly on the ground, "Before, the little slaves were not doing well, please give the master a chance to atone for their crimes!" ”
Yue Xi in that tone was already like a dead man.
The prince of the county stared at Yue Xi, and Yue Xi walked up to the steward and picked up the silver ticket, looked at it, and then said, "I'll change it for one hundred taels later, it's ......inconvenient to spend such a big silver ticket."
The prince of the county frowned when he heard this, and he nodded with a smile: "Fight to death...... I don't like to hear him......"
"Yes!" The boy immediately rejoiced, got up and ran.
"The rules of fighting martial arts will be told to you again Gongzi Yue: once the two sides fight, there are no taboos, and one party cannot fight back, the life and death documents have been signed, and the casualties are at your own risk, and they have nothing to do with my gold hall!" The steward opened his mouth unhurriedly, and pointed to the carpet on the ground with his hand: "Take this as a boundary, and those who are out of the game will go to the knife mountain!" ”
"Do you understand?" He asked both sides in his mouth, but his eyes were only fixed on Yue Xi.
Yue Xi nodded, and seeing that the pair of dwarfs with the same height and appearance had stepped onto the carpet at the same time, she also stepped up.
"Brother!" Zheng Baocai's eyes were red, and he walked a few steps behind Yue Xi and stopped her: "What do you have to say to my brother?" ”
"When you eat haggis later, add some vinegar to me!" Yue Xi said with a chuckle.
"Whoa!" Zheng Baocai answered with a loud voice, and a pair of big tears also snapped and smashed on the surface of his feet: "Brother remember!" ”
"Oh, it's noisy, don't you just eat a bowl of choppy soup? Shouting so loudly is it because the lord has never eaten it......" The feather fan in the hand of the prince of the county fanned quickly: "Okay, okay, let's start quickly, the master is hungry......"
The carpet is not big, and Fang Cai Yuexi has already walked around, and it is estimated that the length and width are about the same, and it is only about one zhang and five feet.
Now that the positions at both ends have been stood by the pair of dwarfs, Yue Xi can only stand in the middle, so that no matter who she is facing, she will leave her back to another person.
When both of her feet stepped on the carpet, someone immediately surrounded the outside of the blanket one by one with wooden planks with large blades, and in a short time, except for the carpet-covered ground in the middle of the huge hall, the rest of the place was covered with such a knife board with the tip of the knife, and the room was full of cold iron smell!
It was the smell of blood......
"It turns out that this is the ...... of Shangdao Mountain" There was no place to stay downstairs, so Zheng Bao was invited upstairs.
Standing at the railing, he forced himself to stare at a qiē in the hall
He looked at Yiqiē in the hall without even blinking his eyes.
"It's hot, let's change to Shangdao Mountain here, it's warm here in winter, and there are burning carbon braziers all around...... If the man falls on it...... Gee! "The prince of the county clicked his lips: "Abacus, lunch, I want to eat Mo Nan's roast leg of lamb......"
"Yes." The steward bowed his head and answered, always feeling that there was something wrong with the gladiatorial arena...... He snuck his belly......
"Please!" The dwarfs on the left and right were still holding the iron plate in their hands, and at the same time stretched out their calloused hands and made a gesture of please: "Life and death are fate, son, don't hold a grudge against us when you come to Lord Yama!" ”
"Rely on your skills!" Yue Xi chuckled and bowed in return, and after bending down, the three of them moved together!
The two boys had the same mind, one flew up and jumped up, and the iron plate in his hand had been slapped towards Yue Xi's back, while the other was bullied forward, and the tray in his hand was smashed towards Yue Xi's ankle, one high and one low, one in front and one behind, it seemed that he wanted to kill her with just one move!
Yue Xi bowed to the old man, listened to the wind in front and back, rolled twice against the carpet, and then quickly got up, with one hand behind her, and the other hand had already lifted the hem of the gown, she pulled up a corner and stuffed it to her waist, revealing her long legs in white shirts, standing there tall and neat, like a bamboo!
The rabbit fell up, and in just one round, Yue Xi resolved the disadvantage of being attacked on his back and let the two boys fall aside!
It's just that her left foot only retreated half a step, and Yue Xi felt that her shoes had touched the blade blocking the carpet, if she hadn't stopped to put it on, she was afraid that it would have been broken into pieces by the blade at this moment!
"It's a pity!" The prince sighed softly.
“!” Zheng Baocai's eyes widened nervously, but he blocked his mouth with his hand! He was afraid that any sound he made would disturb Yue Xi's mind......
"Hah!" Xiao Tong burst into a shout, two pairs of iron plates shot at the same time, and swept towards Yue Xi with the sound of breaking the sky, and the two children turned their palms into fists and fell in front of her, one hammered towards Yue Xi's abdomen, and the other stretched out his leg to sweep towards Yue Xi's lower plate!
At this time, Yue Xi's right leg was raised high, his heel was enough to reach an iron plate, and she had already exposed the disadvantages of the instability of the lower plate when one leg landed on the ground, she simply did not dodge and directly hooked the iron plate, quickly retracted her legs, and stepped straight up and down towards the little short leg that swept towards her, and the other iron plate had already arrived in front of her, Yue Xixin raised her left arm horizontally and hit it with her elbow!
There was a piercing friction sound in his ears, and the iron plate that was knocked off lost his accuracy and fell directly to the tip of the knife, sliding out with a 'squeak' sound that made people's scalps numb, Yue Xi only felt that his arm was a heart-piercing pain!
The boy who had lost his weapon kept smashing his fists towards Yue Xi's stomach, and it was only before his fist touched the opponent's black clothes that a 'click' crisp sound had already reached his ears first, and it was the sound of bones breaking......
The leg that swept towards Yuexi is now a broken leg!
She doesn't have much body now, and she is one against two, and only by taking risks and taking the sword to the edge can she win in the end.
This fight is a bet on life, and if someone has to die, Yue Xi certainly hopes that it is someone else.
She died once, and then she realized that it was easy to die, and it was difficult for people to die without regrets......
It's been two lives, she hasn't been in a serious relationship, and she hasn't really been a woman, and now she has found the little daughter-in-law who is unconscious, her good life hasn't started yet, so she doesn't want to die!
As for the coffin sent by the prince of the county, whoever fucking loves to sleep, go to sleep!
She kicked off a dwarf's leg at the cost of both an elbow and a belly injury, knocking a pair of iron plates flying, and she earned the bargain without much calculation.
When the dwarf's small fist slammed into her abdomen, Yue Xi turned sideways to resolve at least seventy percent of the strength, Rao is so, Han Yuexi's weak body is still a little unbearable.
The throbbing pain in her stomach came one after another, and Yue Xi felt that her stomach was about to turn over, and a stream of gastric juice rushed from her throat to her mouth, and she swallowed it directly.
At this moment, any movement that exposed her discomfort would attract a more violent attack, and she couldn't punch or kick her stomach......
The dwarf who had broken a leg on the ground had changed color in pain, but it was not to the point of fainting, he dragged a broken leg that was turned up on his heel, and he actually moved his body in front of Yue Xi with one hand, and his right hand went up to her crotch fiercely.
"Stinky and shameless!" Yue Xiqing, who was treated as a man, snorted and jumped up on tiptoe, so that the other party's crotch hand fell into the air, she did not hesitate to volley her legs and kicked out according to the nasty dwarf who made the move, and after kicking the other party's good teeth, she reached out with her right hand to the boy who punched her abdomen, grabbed the other party's hair, and then the two of them fell to the ground together.
The dwarf, whose leg had been broken, obviously felt that his hand had grabbed the other party, and he didn't understand why he didn't grab the pile of things on the other party's crotch until he was kicked and knocked out by Yue Xifei's foot.
Yue Xi's crotch naturally doesn't have those taels of meat, but dwarfs do!
Holding on to the dwarf's hair, Yue Xi pressed the other party with his arms and half of his body, and when he waved his ten fingers like hooks to Yue Xi's eyes, Yue Xi curled up one knee and pressed it hard.
The pain of the broken egg was unbearable for any man, the hand that grabbed Yue Xi's eyes stopped in mid-air, Yue Xi and his eyes were watching at a very close distance, she could even see her own shadow from the other party's pupils, and she retracted her legs, Yue Xi's skinny knees were pushed up heavily again......
The dwarf under him screamed and finally withdrew his hands and covered his crotch, Yue Xi's right elbow was also raised and poked at his left chest with all his might, the dwarf's facial expression had reached the point of distortion, he opened his mouth to Yue Xi, but only a large amount of blood gushed out from his mouth and nose at the same time, and the broken sternum had pierced into his lungs, and he was left with only Gou
All he had left was to survive.
He felt that he had lost unjustly, but the ending was decided, the boy who seemed to be thin and had to be blown down by a gust of wind, but he had the agility and ruthlessness of a wolf, he lost, lost the master's 10,000 taels of silver tickets, and lost the master's face, the dwarf stretched out his hand and slapped his heart with a palm, so if he died like this, he could still leave a piece of silver for his family......
His blood splashed on Yue Xi's face and flowed onto the carpet beneath him, and it didn't take long for it to condense into a new mark, the last thing he left in this world......
Yue Xi let go of her hand, staggered up, walked to the dwarf whose leg had been broken and kicked him, and after seeing that the other party did not move, she looked up at the county prince who was standing on the second floor and was looking at her intently, and smiled: "Since Lao Tzu has the ability to climb out of the coffin, he has no intention of going back lightly!" ”
The prince looked at her calmly, and there was no gambling loss in his eyes.
He looked at Yue Xi's eyes, so that Yue Xi had a kind of commodity that he was waiting to sell......
"Withdraw." With a wave of the feather fan in his hand, the prince of the county opened his mouth lightly, and his voice was graceful and noble.
This is the kind of aristocrat in his bones, even if he stands naked in front of you and loses a lot, he will still maintain his unique nobility.
Such an opponent is worthy of respect. Therefore, Yue Xi did not say anything else after saying such a sentence.
The hall downstairs was immediately cleaned. Aside from the smell of blood that was still everywhere, the gladiatorial chamber was quiet again.
The 10,000 taels of silver tickets were exchanged for 100 taels of silver tickets and placed them on the tray, and Yue Xi stood on the edge of the table of the Eight Immortals and staggered and counted them one by one: "Thirty-one, thirty-two, thirty-three......"
The handsome county prince stood behind her and shook his fan gently, unhurried.
"Exactly." A hundred pieces of paper were stacked together in a thick stack, Yue Xi carefully put those silver tickets into his arms, and beckoned to Zheng Baocai, who was looking at her and crying: "Brother Zheng, help my brother." ”
"Whoa." Zheng Baocai, who had never shed tears in his memory, was now grinning and crying very ugly, he walked to Yue Xi's side and bent down to turn his back to her: "Brother...... Junior...... Brother is carrying you behind your back......"
"I can go." Yue Xi bent down and held his abdomen with one hand, and slowly walked towards him: "You are driving the car for a while, you can see how much virtue I have injured......
"Then let's stop eating choppy soup......"
"Eat! I'm hungry for this now! ”
"That brother is in a car...... Let's eat it! ”
"Hmmm......"
The prince of the county watched the two of them supporting each other and walking towards the gate, thought about it, and still chased after him: "Hey, I said, you won me 10,000 taels of silver and left like this?" Shouldn't I say something to my grandfather? ”
"Thank you!" Holding Zheng Baocai's arm, Yue Xi stood tremblingly at the gate of the Gladiatorial Pavilion, turned around and nodded politely to the prince of the county: "You stay, don't send it!" ”
"Whew!" The door opened and closed, and the two men standing in the doorway walked out together.
After the inexplicable prince shook his fan and walked around the hall in the room, he slapped him in the air: "Follow the injured one." ”
"Yes." I don't know where someone answered.
After the prince of the county took a turn in the hall again, he hurriedly went upstairs: "Abacus, you can arrange their future, don't treat them badly......"
……
Helping Yue Xi get into the donkey cart, Zheng Bao made the position to catch the car, and only walked a long way, and he was still crying.
"Almost." Yue Xi pushed him hard, and then bent over and curled up on the cart in pain: "Aren't I not dead?" Lao Tzu took a total of twelve punches, and he almost punched me and gave me a thousand taels, worth it! ”
"Worth a fart!" Zheng Baocai raised his hand and slapped himself in the face: "If you die here today, brother, my brother and I will have to bear debts for the rest of my life......"
"It's finished." Yue Xi's stomach hurt so badly that he had to stretch out his leg and kick him: "Eat a trench and grow wise, don't be so reckless in the future, besides, if I wasn't greedy for money, I wouldn't end up like this, I can't come here in the future!" ”
"Brother, you're right!" Realizing that passers-by were not looking at him well, Zheng Baocai lifted the hem of his robe and stroked it on his face, and after wiping away his tears and snot, he concentrated on getting out of the car: "The Elimination Gold Pavilion is a place to eat people, and our brothers really can't come in the future." ”
Yue Xi was lying on the flatbed truck sideways, her eyes were still staring at the tall family who took out the plaque farther and farther away, and the handsome face of the prince of the county appeared in her mind, and she remembered the little daughter-in-law who said goodbye without saying goodbye.
"Or my daughter-in-law is more beautiful than white and tender!" Eventually, she came to a conclusion.
Before going to eat haggis, Zheng Bao took Yue Xi to the old doctor in Chengxi to see the injury. Because the final injury on his body was on the stomach, Yue Xi was not allowed to see the doctor, and he refused to enter the house by holding on to the door frame: "It is said that a famous doctor can know the symptoms by checking the pulse, and now is the time to prove that the old doctor is not a famous doctor, you can give me the pulse, if you want to see the wound, it is not good!" ”
"Take it." The old doctor came over without saying a word to take her pulse, and then lowered his head and opened a prescription and handed it to Zheng Baocai: "I have all the blood and beards, go back and let her use it according to the prescription." ”
The patient did not cooperate, the doctor also had a temper, so he simply talked to the middleman, and the two saw the doctor without any intersection at all, Yue Xi covered his stomach and got on the donkey cart: "The old doctor has too much temper, and he is really not as good as our veterinarian anywhere!" ”
The old doctor's medical hall is in a remote place, and Zheng Baocai drove the donkey cart very carefully except for the alley before he said: "Maybe your veterinarian there is still short when he sees a doctor, how many years has the old doctor seen livestock?" Can you not have a temper? ”
"......" Yue Xi wanted to look up at the sky,
Looking up at the sky, but now it is difficult to bend over and raise her head, she has to stare at the ground and silently think: Lao Tzu lets the people who treat birds and beasts every day treat diseases, when is this a head......
When the two of them arrived at the shop where they were eating chop soup and were just in time for lunch, business in the shop was very good.
The twenty or so tables were filled with people.
"Oops...... So many people ......" Holding on to the door frame, after Yue Xi said a word, Zheng Bao just parked the donkey cart and came over.
Standing at the door and looking inside, he directly helped Yue Xi to walk inside: "Let's go to the shopkeeper's kang and eat!" ”
Seeing Zheng Baocai enter the door, the guy hurriedly ran to the backyard, and after a while, a bearded man greeted him: "Don't leave if you come, I have a jar of sweet potato wine here, it's a fresh thing, we have to drink it well!" ”
"It's not possible today, brother, I have something to do, so I'll borrow it from your house, my brother is sick, rest his legs and ......" Zheng Baocai didn't even say hello when he saw the big man, and helped Yue Xi to go to his house: "Send us two big bowls of miscellaneous soup, and two more noodles to burn." ”
"Then let's drink it another day, wine, I'll keep it for my brother!" When the man saw that he had brought someone to the door, he didn't ask much, he just smiled at Yue Xi and nodded, and then went to the kitchen to tell the men to have a meal.
"I didn't expect Brother Zheng to travel widely." Yue Xi said softly and politely: "It's the same for us to wait in front." ”
"It's okay! Brother, my friendship with this brother is not ordinary. ”
Although the main house is not big, it is neatly cleaned up, Yue Xi nodded secretly: The cooks know that the food is clean, and the haggis soup in this house can be eaten often.
"My brother helped grab this shop in his house, didn't I tell you?" After Zheng Baocai helped Yue Xi to sit on the kang, he pulled the small kang table over and sat opposite him: "That's what I said: the kitchen of that rice shop is the one that uses it as a thatched house!" ”
"Ugh!" Yue Xi suddenly didn't have the slightest appetite......
After a short period of effort, two bowls of real haggis soup were served on the table, Zheng Baocai picked up the chopsticks on the table, wiped them on the sleeves of his jacket and handed them to Yue Xi: "Eat, it's not enough to add outside." ”
Yue Xi took the chopsticks, pretended to make a few gestures, put the chopsticks on the table, she took out the silver ticket from her arms, counted five and handed it to Zheng Baocai.
"This silver is what you exchanged for your life, and my brother can't ask for it!" Zheng Baocai's eyes turned red when he saw the silver ticket, and he pushed it away.
"Brother Zheng, listen to me." Yue Xi put the silver ticket on the table on his side, and then continued weakly: "Our carriage and horse shop is about to open, and there must be a place for the carriage and horses to rest on both sides. ”
"That's not going to take that much!" Zheng Baocai picked up the silver ticket and counted it, but still refused to accept it all.
"For the rest, I want to buy a land." Yue Xi looked at him and whispered, "Do you know that there is a mass grave behind the God of Wealth Temple?" There's a clearing behind that! ”
"Behind the mass grave?" Zheng Baocai frowned and thought about it, and then said in surprise: "How unlucky that kind of place is! Brother, what do you want to buy land for, brother, I'll help you find it again, you can't just try to be cheap! ”
"Don't you know? The mass grave is buried with ownerless tombs, and it is estimated that there are several monuments standing in the early years, which have also been planed by Chu Yingzhi, and now as your people leave over there, no one will go again, desolate and secluded! ”
"Brother, I just want a secluded place to build a house, I'm so quiet."
"I've never heard of people living next to the dead!"
