Chapter 15: Leaving the Golden Jade
Pu Xuan said: "The poor road travels all over the world, and the four seas are home, but I just happened to pass by here. ”
Lei Peng didn't doubt him, and said to Fang Zhong: "I don't know why the little brother has this sword?" As he spoke, he took out a sword from behind him, which was the long sword that Fang Zhong was originally carrying. After Fang Zhong fainted that day, the sword was picked up by the people of Crouching Tiger Village.
Fang Zhong hurriedly said, "This is my Uncle Jiang's sword." ”
Lei Peng said: "What about you Uncle Jiang, I want to get to know this person." ”
Fang Zhong said gloomily: "He...... It's gone, and I don't know where it went. ”
Lei Peng frowned, suspicious but couldn't ask the result, and said: "This is a good sword, it must come from the hands of a master, if the sword is divided into three grades, this sword can be listed as the top grade, the little brother has this sword, if it is seen by someone with a heart, I am afraid that it is not a good thing." With that, put the sword on the head of Fang Zhong's bed. Lei Peng praised this sword, but he did not mean to take it for himself.
Fang Zhong suddenly said, "What about my dog, don't you stay in the town?" ”
Lei Peng said: "Your dog? I've heard people tell me about catching a beast that was not a wolf or a dog, and there was a white spot on his head, so fierce that he bit off the fingers of a farmer in the village. ”
Fang Zhong hurriedly nodded and said, "That's it, that's it, beg the owner not to hurt it." ”
Lei Peng laughed and said: "When you arrive at Crouching Tiger Village, no matter how fierce the beast is, you have to bow your head." Since it was raised by the little brother, it can't be disposed of at will, and I will tell the next person to return it to you. ”
Fang Zhongxi said: "Thank you to the owner." ”
Lei Peng said with a smile: "No need to thank the owner of the village, in fact, it should be my little brother Xie, if it weren't for the little brother who resisted with his own strength, the consequences would be really unimaginable." But I don't know if the little brother has any plans, as long as the owner of the village can help, just mention it. ”
Fang Zhong remembered that Yanhong and Xiaolan were still nowhere to be seen, so he hurriedly inquired about Lei Peng, and after asking, all the injured people that day had been brought back to Crouching Tiger Village for resettlement. Lei Peng ordered someone to go out to look for it, but after a while, he brought Yanhong and Xiaolan in. When the two of them saw the owner of Crouching Tiger Village, they didn't even dare to breathe.
Lei Peng said: "If you don't have much to go, when I am employing people in Crouching Tiger Village, it is better to stay here." ”
For Yanhong, this is simply joy from the sky, she and her two children no longer have to live a life of displacement, and they can have no worries about food and clothing, and immediately said in a row: "Thank you for the owner's shelter." ”
Lei Peng said with a smile: "The girl will feel at ease to do things here in the future, and treat this place as her own home, but this Taoist ......" turned his head to look at Puxuan. Lei Peng's meaning was obviously that he could take in Yanhong and Fang Zhong Xiaolan, but Pu Xuan was a Taoist priest, so it was inconvenient to stay here.
Pu Xuan's eyes rolled and he said embarrassedly: "The owner of the village doesn't know, I'm pretending." ”
Lei Peng was stunned and said, "Why did the Taoist chief say this? ”
Pu Xuan said: "The world is uneasy, the people are not living, I have no way out, I see that the people still respect the Buddha and respect the Tao, even the strongmen and robbers also let outsiders go, so they mess around with a Taoist dress, not for anything else, just to eat a mouth!" But after all, life is lonely, like a rootless duckweed, there is a wind and rain and wanders around, how can there be a family to come to the warmth and peace of mind, so the heart is sad, who knows. Pu Xuan said that he was sad, and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.
Lei Peng said: "The owner of this village also knows that the world is difficult, and you are not a true Taoist, so you will stay." ”
Pu Xuan wiped away his sad face and said happily: "Thank you for taking it in, I'm afraid that the poor Dao is used to this fake Taoist, but he is not suitable for this comfortable life." If I cause trouble to the village, I don't need to be reprimanded by the owner, I will roll up and leave by myself, and I will never affect others. Lei Peng only said that Puxuan said this grateful word because of his kindness, but he left a way back for himself first, and the good thing he said was that he left by himself, but in fact, he said that he would leave, and there was no way to take him.
Under Lei Peng's arrangement, a middle-aged steward came over and instructed Yanhong to go to the inner hall to serve, it was an errand to sweep the floor and change clothes, Xiaolan and Fang Zhong were young, so they started from the little house, and when it was Puxuan's turn, the steward felt very embarrassed, and didn't know what to let him do, so he had to ask: "Dao Chief, I don't know what work you want to do?" ”
Pu Xuan said: "No matter how rough and small the work is, the poor road will not be, when you need to catch ghosts and draw talismans, you will come to call me." ”
The housekeeper thought that after all, the owner of the village had spoken, and he couldn't help but keep Puxuan, and after thinking for a long time, he simply let him be idle, and he thought that the cost was not from his own head, so it was better to sell his favor to him, and the housekeeper looked at the height of the four people, and the four of them were tall and thin, and left silently.
On the second day, someone brought clothes and other things from the village, and Fang Zhong wore them well, and he couldn't help but admire the steward's eyes for seeing them accurately. Just when he didn't know what he was going to do, the person in charge came to look for him first, followed by a flying tiger guard. The Flying Tiger Wei arched his hand and said, "The owner of the village commanded, lead the little brother to fetch the family dog." ”
Fang Zhong followed the big man, walked through two rockery bamboo forests, walked through an arched bridge stone road, and saw countless beautiful scenery and luxury along the way, just sighing to himself, his eyes suddenly opened up, several carriages were parked under a row of green pines, and a group of Zhuang Ding maids were clustered together and didn't know what they were looking at.
The Flying Tiger Guard frowned and said, "What are you all doing here?" Those servants and maids scattered in an uproar, revealing the scene ahead. I saw a very beautiful girl carrying a leather whip and whipping a half-man-high cage on the ground.
With a whip, a beast howl suddenly came out of the cage. The little girl listened and giggled. The sound is pleasant, extremely beautiful.
Fang Zhong looked through the crowd and saw that it was the girl who had been attacked, carrying a horsewhip and whipping the hideous little beast in the cage for fun. The little beast shrank in the cage, hiding in the corner of the cage to avoid whipping, and then revealing its fierce appearance, pounced on the edge of the cage and bitten, but it was powerless through the thick cage fence.
Fang Zhong ran to the girl and snatched her leather whip, and said angrily, "Why hit it!" ”
The girl's leather whip was snatched, she was taken aback, raised her powder fist to hit Fang Zhong, suddenly saw her face clearly, and said strangely: "Hey, it's you?" Bo smiled angrily, "For your sake, let's go around it." Put down your hand, don't want the leather whip, walked to the edge of the cage, and said to the little beast: "I woke up this morning, I can no longer talk to Xiaobai, I feel sad, so I beat it a few times to get angry." Now that the anger is gone, I won't fight, what is the strength of this beast like you, it's better to beat your master to relieve my anger. Meimu swept Fang Zhong and said with a smile: "You come with me." ”
When the carriage came to a halt in the depths of a courtyard, the girl was helped out of the carriage, and the horse-drawn carriage went out on its own, leaving only the maidservants and a few villagers. The girl said, "You all go out, as long as this little guy accompanies me." Those handmaidens and Zhuang Ding hesitated for a while, and no one left. The girl was furious and said, "You people follow me all day long, and you are annoyed to death. Seeing that Fang Zhong was still holding her leather whip in his hand, he snatched it and whipped it with his chuck. Those people were whipped by her several times, and finally squeezed out of the door with a shout.
The girl walked to the gate of the courtyard and put the gate "Bang! "One close, on the deadbolt!
The girl sneered, "These people are all dead people, if I say a word, they will answer it, it is very boring, and no one can speak." "Let's go to the cabinet building first. Fang Zhong followed her into the attic floor. The interior of the building is elegantly arranged, planted with some flowers and plants, and the pots are delicate and delicate, exuding a faint fragrance. There was a row of knife racks against the wall, and the girl stood on her feet and said, "This is it." He stepped forward and slowly drew a sword, and said, "I heard that you saved me, but Miss Ben doesn't believe it, unless you overcome me, I will believe it." Turning around, the long sword pointed at Fang Zhong.
"Let's do it!"
Fang Zhong only felt a ringing in his head, and stammered, "I...... I don't do it. ”
The girl smiled coldly and said, "Miss Ben won't show mercy, look at the sword!" "It's a sword.
Fang Zhong hurriedly stepped back, the girl was in hot pursuit, the long sword was extremely sharp, slashing around his back, shocking Fang Zhong into a cold sweat. Fang Zhong was forced to be helpless, and after being chased for several laps, he drew a long knife when he passed by the knife holder and parried back.
The girl only knew how to attack, and the two of them slashed each other with their swords, tired and sweating profusely, but Fang Zhong didn't dare to fight back. The girl had not learned any subtle moves, and her strength was small, and after a long time, she was out of breath and slowed down. The girl saw sweat on her forehead, and said angrily: "Don't fight, rest for a while and talk." ”
Fang Zhong wiped the sweat on his head, and said in his heart that if he fought for a while, he had to throw his life here. The girl took out a silk handkerchief, wiped her sweat, and then walked up to Fang Zhong, raised her little hand, and wiped it on Fang Zhong's forehead. Fang Zhong was fascinated for a moment, only to feel that Fang had just been slashed by her chaotic sword.
The girl said while wiping Fang Zhong's sweat. "What's your name?"
Fang Zhong said: "I...... My name is Fang Zhong. ”
The girl said, "Fang Zhong? It's not good, how can my little white voice sound good, but you're not as beautiful as it, and I don't mind if your name isn't as good as it. Why don't I change your name? ”
Fang Zhong shook his head and said, "No need, I still think the original name is good." But I don't know what to call Miss? ”
The girl's pretty face sank, and she said angrily: "As long as I know your name, which round you know Miss Ben." "Punch and fight.
Fang Zhong covered her head and let her beat her a few times, and the girl stopped, but said faintly: "I told you my name, but I am not allowed to tell others." ”
Fang Zhong nodded in astonishment. The girl said: "My surname is Li, which is the surname of my mother's family, but it is the name that my grandfather gave me, called Jinyu, and my mother said that Jinyu is the most precious and important thing, just like the gold and jade in their minds." ”
Fang Zhong said: "Leave Jinyu." "Although I don't think the name is very elegant, I don't dare to say that it is not good.
Li Jinyu said softly: "Tell you one more thing, do you want to listen?" ”
Fang Zhong nodded hurriedly.
Li Jinyu's face sank, and he said coldly: "That is the person who knows Miss Ben's real name and surname, and he will die!" The two of them were close and close, and the Jinyu suddenly turned his face and stabbed with his sword.
Fang Zhong didn't expect her to stab when she said it, and hurriedly blocked the sword with a knife, but Fang Zhong had been refining qi for several years, and he had never learned a move and a half, so he didn't know how to deal with it at all. The sword grazed the blade and stabbed Fang Zhong's chest, as if he was really going to kill Fang Zhong. Fang Zhong's heart was cold, where could he care about pity and cherish the jade at the moment of his life, and the knife in his hand was also indiscriminately slashed towards the girl's head, hoping that she would know the danger and stop returning to the sword to save herself.
Laugh at!
The sword cut through Fang Zhong's shirt, and he immediately stopped it. The girl smiled and was about to speak, but Fang Zhong's knife had already reached the top of her head. At this time, Fang Zhong couldn't put away the knife, and when he looked up from Jin Yu and saw the knife light falling, he was stunned, and with a bang, the blade hit his forehead.
A trace of blood slowly flowed down his forehead, and the red mole on Jin Yu's forehead flashed red, and then the light brightened, as if it was embedded with a ruby, and under the red light, a terrifying breath erupted!;
