Lu Qiuxue looked at the ronin swordsman in a daze, while the latter looked at the old man in a daze. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The old man sighed, picked up a branch beside him, and stirred the fire.

Lu Xueying's pink face suddenly turned pale, and she bit her lip and said, "Old man, why can't we go?" ”

The old man let out an "oh" and looked at the second daughter with a confused gaze over the ronin.

"You can go now." The old man squinted and brushed away the dry wood, and the flames jumped violently.

"And the farther you go, the better." The old man added.

Lu Qiuxue subconsciously grabbed the sword, but found that she had caught a void and said urgently; "Why did you let us go? This woman is not leaving, I'll see what the hell you're going to do!! ”

The old man shook his head helplessly, and turned to the ronin: "Mr. Yokozuna, why don't you come here to bake the fire, it can also be warmer." ”

A hint of astonishment flashed across the ronin's face, and then he regained his composure: "I'm not Mr. Yokozuna. ”

The old man stared at him for a moment: "You're not?" ”

The ronin nodded, "I'm not." ”

"Oh." The old man's face was still calm, and he said lightly: "I'm waiting for a ronin friend I haven't met, named Iga Yokozuna." ”

The ronin bowed deeply: "I hurried all the way and didn't find any other friends from our country. ”

The ronin paused for a moment, and a strange smile appeared on his face: "Since we haven't met, how can you know it's him?" ”

The old man sighed: "His swordsmanship is very powerful. ”

The ronin touched the chin of the beard stubble, and said lightly: "People in our country rarely use swords. ”

The old man looked up at him: "What's the difference between a knife and a sword?" ”

Lu Qiuxue interjected: "The name is different." ”

Lu Xueying glared at her.

The ronin touched his head and laughed, "Yes, yes, it can be explained like this." ”

The old man beckoned: "Young man, can you help me add some firewood?" ”

The back of the sealed jade was clinging to a tree.

The leaves are falling one after another.

It was shocked by Ye Qiu's palm.

Ye Qiu slapped at a lightning speed.

Sealing Jade flashed in surprise, and the fat man slammed into the big tree behind him, dropping more leaves.

The thin man fell to the ground, struggling to reach for the throwing knife at his waist.

Ye Qiu bent down and clicked on his dumb hole, and then clasped the wrist he wanted to move.

A muffled grunt, accompanied by a clear sound of bone cracking.

"I would have loved to let you go."

Even Ye Qiu himself forgot how many times he said this sentence.

Ye Qiu straightened up and squinted and looked around.

Fortunately, there was no trace of people around.

The fat man propped himself up and spewed out a mouthful of blood.

Ye Qiu frowned and flicked the blood on his body; "Well, I'm going to see an old friend, you're really making trouble for me."

The fat man had a mouthful of blood in his mouth and muttered, "You...... 's martial arts are not low. ”

Ye Qiu smiled; "Of course! The four of you together may not be able to beat me. ”

Ye Qiu glanced at Sealed Jade and motioned for him to pull the thin man's body deep into the woods.

The fat man's cheeks bulged, and more blood gushed out from the corners of his mouth.

Ye Qiu said with a smile; "I know what you're trying to say. I didn't rank high on the ethereal list. But it doesn't mean that any bad character can come to me for trouble. ”

"Look you're going to die. I might as well tell you a secret. The corners of Ye Qiu's eyes revealed a hint of mystery.

There was a thunderclap in the sky.

The clouds overhead also flashed a few times, and soon large drops of rain fell.

The moment the thunder flashed, illuminating the fat man's frightened expression.

"It turns out that you and ......" Without waiting for the fat man to finish speaking, Ye Qiu quickly reached out and pinched his Hehong acupoint.

Pinch until the fat man's head is tilted to the side.

Ye Qiu stood up and just happened to seal the jade coming out of the forest next to him.

"Get on the horse!" Ye Qiu nodded, turned over and jumped on the horse.

The rain wet the hair of the sealed jade, and pressed it tightly to his forehead: "Then this corpse ......"

Ye Qiu glanced at it and said coldly: "No matter, get on the horse!" ”

The ronin brought a small bundle of branches, squatted down opposite the old man, and pulled out one, but did not throw it into the fire.

The old man looked up and smiled; "Do you know that we have an old saying in China, which is called 'there are people outside the people, and there is heaven outside the sky'."

The ronin's hand grasping the branch trembled slightly.

The ronin smiled mysteriously, "I understand, and I understand your other phrase, which is called 'dripping water through stones'. ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, his gaze sometimes becoming steady, sometimes dim.

The fire in front of him also flickered and extinguished with the old man's gaze.

"It's weird!" Lu Qiuxue squatted on the side, holding her chin to watch the firelight, and looked very attentive. "There's no wind in the house......"

Lu Xueying didn't answer, her eyes were fixed on the hands of the old man and the ronin.

Both looked at each other and didn't move.

The air seemed to freeze, and time seemed to have stopped.

Only the firelight jumped like crazy.

Suddenly, the ronin reached out and plunged a branch into the fire, but the fire suddenly went dark.

The old man let out a low cry and flicked the three branches next to him.

Three branches flew into the air.

The ronin didn't look at it, and pulled out two other branches and stuck them in the fire.

Lu Qiuxue's eyes widened: "They are ......"

Before the words fell, the fire exploded and scattered, and the branches with sparks flew down to the grass in the house, but they were extinguished in an instant.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

There was only the sound of branches falling to the ground and the slight crackling of burning.

The old man looked at the firewood all over the ground, and said with pity; "I wanted to bake something to eat."

The ronin smiled; "I've been hungry since noon yesterday."

The old man was stunned; "You haven't eaten all the way?"

The ronin smiled sheepishly.

The old man sighed, "You must have taken a detour, you don't go far along the road, and you will see an inn." ”

Ronin rejoices; "That's great, I'm leaving, thanks for taking in."

The old man slowly gathered the firewood; "The rain hasn't stopped."

The ronin gently pushed open the door and smiled, "It's a little smaller, you can go." ”

"That's right." The ronin suddenly turned his head and said; "There is a big difference between a knife and a sword, the sword weighs strength, and the sword weighs the angle."

The old man smiled; "Good insight."

The ronin smiled and walked out of the door, closing it gently.

Lu Qiuxue was stunned, and couldn't help asking, "Old man, what are you singing double reeds?" ”
